Chapter 3: Leaving
Seeing Lin Hao drinking like this, the village chief laughed and scolded: "Wine is not what you drink like this. You have to sip it slowly to taste it. It is like living a life, and you have to live day by day. Like you, drinking is not just a waste of food."
Lin Hao buried his head in his meal, afraid that the village chief would see the tears in the corner of his eyes, so he ate the last bite of rice in the bowl and control his emotions. He didn't dare to look up and said lightly: "Grandpa, the admission notice from Qingshan University has arrived."
The village chief was stunned, then smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be able to go to the city to see the world. When will you leave?"
Lin Hao's head was buried even lower. If he had put it in the past, he knew that he would not have lived to be thirty years old, he would never have left this village, nor would he have left the village chief who had been taking care of him like a grandfather since his father passed away. But now he has the hope of living to be thirty years old. He still wants to go out to see, and also want to experience the university life he has always longed for.
"I plan to just be there for two days."
"So urgent?"
"kindness!"
"Wait, I'll get something." The village chief put down his wine glass, stood up, walked into the room, and after coming out, he held a pack of things wrapped in his envelope.
He came to Lin Hao and sat down, and returned the envelope to Lin Hao's table, "I have been the village chief for half my life. I only saved this ten thousand yuan, but I didn't get any money. Do you think I am a village chief is a very failed? If you want to go to college, I don't give you anything. This ten thousand yuan is just for your living expenses."
The village chief lived to this age and was not a human being. How could he know that Lin Hao was going to Qingshan City as soon as he received the admission letter, not to earn tuition.
Lin Hao raised his head, tears in his eyes, and pushed the envelope money back, "Grandpa Village Chief, I can't ask for this money, this is your pension."
"Take it! Just treat this money as a reward for grandpa to get into college. When you have a successful career, don't just send me money like my son. You can come back and see me as a bad old man, which is better than anything else."
The village chief's son has a villa in the city, but he doesn't know how long it has been since he returned to Cheshan Village. Two years ago, the old man was afraid that after his death, his grandson would not remember his appearance, and the old man was unwilling to go to the city to bother his son's family.
My son originally asked the old man to live with him, but the old man didn't want to. He didn't like the lifestyle of the city where he was obviously a neighbor and never greeted him when he met. Although he lived in a big villa, he was far from the freedom of the village. At least he could visit his family when he was fine. There was no place to visit his family in the city.
"Grandpa..." Lin Hao stood up, thumped, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
The village chief helped Lin Hao up, stuffed the money into his hand, touched his thin but clear face, and said with difficulty: "My good grandson, let's go! Remember to come back more often in the future, see me, a bad old man."
Lin Hao walked out of the door with the envelope and resolutely did not dare to turn his head. He walked towards the top of the mountain. He did not dare to look back, for fear that he would not have the courage to leave the village again after turning back.
The village chief looked at his thin back and was already full of tears, murmured: "I will be alone again in the future!"
Three days later, before dawn, Lin Hao left the village that he had been staying for seventeen years, without saying hello to any villagers, and not even the village chief.
I simply carried a backpack and walked towards the town.
But Lin Hao didn't know that there was an old man with a slightly hunchbacked man at the entrance of the village. He looked at his back and disappeared from his sight. After a long time, he returned to the village.
Lin Hao took the only vehicle in the town to Qingshan City. There were only two buses a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the seating position was by the window in the middle.
At half past eight, when the vehicle was about to start, the car walked on a girl wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of Nike shoes on her feet.
As soon as she got into the car, she attracted the attention of all the men in the car. It was not that she was so hot and explosive, but that she looked very beautiful and had a whisperable skin, especially her big eyes that were as energetic as she was. It was hard to forget just by taking a look.
This girl Lin Hao knows him, a classmate in his high school and the school beauty of Changqing High School. She is named Wang Yuan. She always has a group of pleasing male classmates around her after class.
Lin Hao saw Wang Yuan looking around for a while, as if he was looking for a seat, suddenly his eyes lit up. He came to the side of Lin Hao's seat and said easily: "Classmate, I'm a little motion sickness. Can you sit outside and let me sit by the window?"
Lin Hao laughed at himself. He had been a classmate for two years, but his name was not even remembered by his classmates.
When Wang Yuan saw her self-deprecating smile, she knew that she didn't even remember the names of her classmates, and her face turned red.
Blushing makes Wang Yuan look better.
Several singles sat alone outside the window. Looking at the thin boy, they felt that he didn't know how to be polite. A beautiful beauty wanted to sit with you, so she could look at you. She was dressed in a ragged manner, but she was still indifferent.
Several men sitting on the window stood up and walked to the corridor.
"I have a seat by the window here, come and sit down!"
"I have it too. I have it in the front row, and there is no bump in the back row, so it is not so easy to get motion sickness."
"I have this too."
......
Wang Yuan was a little guilty at first, but when she saw the thin boy being indifferent, she was a little angry, "Didn't you just remember your name? Is it necessary to be so disrespectful?"
When walking in school, whenever Wang Yuan said thirsty, the male classmates around her were rushing to buy water, but they were not ignored like today.
"Thank you, no need, I'll sit here." Wang Yuan shook her head and said with apologized and smiled at the male compatriots who took the initiative to give in.
These male compatriots clearly showed disappointment in their eyes. They took a five-hour car and sat by their side. Even if they didn't speak, just look and smell the fragrance would be a happy thing. If they could get a contact information, the five-hour boring itinerary would be perfect! But this beauty would not give them a chance.
When Wang Yuan put the schoolbag on the storage compartment, he was so angry that he sat beside Lin Hao, leaning against the corridor.
"Isn't it just that I didn't remember your name? Is it necessary? Is it a stingy?" Wang Yuan angrily used a voice that only two people could hear, and I don't know if it was said to the thin boy around her or talking to herself.
The main reason is that Lin Hao is too low-key in school and has a bad figure. He has a clear appearance, but he is still very inconspicuous. It is estimated that half of the people in the class don’t know what his name is, not to mention that Wang Yuan, the school beauties who are surrounded by male classmates in class and after class!
Lin Hao had no expression on his face as if he hadn't heard her talking to himself. He looked at the scene outside the window that was falling behind and was stunned.
Wang Yuan curled her lips and knew that she had been bored, so she took out the Huawei P20pro she bought yesterday. This was a gift from her parents to reward her for being admitted to Qingshan University. She inserted her earplugs and glanced at her classmates whom she didn't know what she was called. Listening to her favorite songs to dissipate her unhappy mood.
