Li Xiulan
This afternoon, Du Xiaojuan left Shanggou Village.
Wang Dashan rode his father's motorcycle, taking Du Xiaojuan to the Town, then she herself took a vehicle to the County Town, and from the County Town took a long-distance bus back to her Hometown.
The motorcycle traveled along the winding Highway.
Du Xiaojuan's face couldn't help but reveal a sorrowful expression.
She hugged Wang Dashan's waist from behind, pressed her cheek against his back, closed her eyes, and quietly felt this man's warmth.
This might be the last time they had such close contact.
Du Xiaojuan had already made a decision in her heart; she knew what to do was correct, what to do was most favorable to herself.
But tears still flowed out unpromisingly.
A feeling of reluctance welled up in her heart; there was even a moment when she felt a bit soft-hearted.
"Xiao Juan, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Dashan sensed Du Xiaojuan's oddness and asked this one sentence.
"Nothing, just a bit uncomfortable, probably because of menstruation, just endure it and it'll pass."
Du Xiaojuan replied perfunctorily.
She secretly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eye.
Didn't say anything more.
The motorcycle arrived at the Town's street entrance.
Wang Dashan saw Du Xiaojuan onto a minivan; when Du Xiaojuan got in the vehicle, he also said:
"Rest assured, when May Day comes, I'll definitely go with you to your Hometown."
Du Xiaojuan just gave an "Mm" sound, didn't say anything more.
Wang Dashan watched the minivan leave, only then rode the motorcycle back to his Hometown.
Wang Dashan returned Home, his mood inexplicably irritable.
He had already sniffed out something was off, but didn't know where it was off.
Sent a message to Du Xiaojuan, asking where she had reached.
Du Xiaojuan took a long while to reply, saying she was still on the road.
Wang Dashan typed many characters on WeChat, wanting to apologize to Du Xiaojuan, and promise her that in the future he would definitely change his irritable and easily angered temperament, and wouldn't quarrel with her again.
But when he wanted to send it, he hesitated again.
He instead thought, he actually hadn't committed any major mistake.
He just said two sentences to Du Xiaojuan.
Du Xiaojuan didn't even ask him to apologize; if he proactively went to apologize like this, wasn't it too subservient?
Then thinking Du Xiaojuan had had two ex-boyfriends, he felt even less need to apologize.
In a blink, Evening arrived.
During Dinner, Li Xiulan saw Wang Dashan's mood was off, so she caringly asked:
"Dashan, what's wrong with you? Could it be you quarreled with Xiao Juan?"
Wang Dashan lowered his head eating rice:
"No, we're doing very well."
But Li Xiulan saw through it, earnestly advised:
"Dashan, Xiao Juan is a good girl, you must be more tolerant toward her, absolutely don't quarrel over trivial matters, that's not good for both sides, and quarreling will also affect feng shui fortune."
Wang Zhanggen, however, pulled a long face and said:
"I see that Du Xiaojuan just dislikes our family being poor, she's too materialistic, too snobbish, seeing our house is too shabby, she couldn't wait to leave, it's only the First Day of the Lunar New Year, yet she actually left, not a bit of politeness! Better not come at all, since she came yet left this early, simply doesn't know how to respect people at all!"
Wang Zhanggen was very displeased about Du Xiaojuan leaving on the First Day of the Lunar New Year; his sensitive self-esteem felt harmed.
He also said:
"Once the New Rural Construction project is done, let's hurry and build a New Building, so that in the future when you bring girls back, they won't be looked down on again!"
In Wang Zhanggen's cognition, Face has always been ranked first, Face is more important than anything!
After this incident of Du Xiaojuan hurriedly leaving on the First Day of the Lunar New Year, he became even more determined to build a new building in Shanggou Village.
Before, he still had some hesitation: buy a house in the County Town, or build a house in the Hometown.
After this incident, he no longer had any hesitation; he must start construction on a new building within this year!
Wang Dashan silently didn't speak, he was absent-minded.
His heart kept thinking of Du Xiaojuan's various subtle words and actions these two days.
Wang Erhai also didn't say anything; he just kept his head down eating rice.
Only Wang Xiaohua spoke up in opposition:
"With that money, better to go to the County Town and buy a suite; now the Rural Area doesn't even have a Primary School operating, what use is building a new house? Buy a house in the County Town, in the future if Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law have a child, they can also go to school in the County Town."
Wang Zhanggen, however, coldly said:
"You, a bookworm, understand shit! County Town house prices are so high now, hundreds of thousands for a pile of steel bars and cement, and I heard you still have to pay some property fee every month, what use is buying that thing? Building a house in the Hometown not only costs less, but also lives comfortably, no property fees or anything; once New Rural Construction is complete, every household in our Shanggou Village will have tap water installed, and it's even free Mountain Spring Water, where in the City is there this kind of treatment!"
Wang Xiaohua dryly laughed:
"You're right, you're right."
He did not want to refute Wang Zhanggen about anything, because he knew Wang Zhanggen's thinking was very stubborn and obstinate.
Once he had decided on something, no matter what you said, it was useless.
Besides, given Wang Zhanggen's level of cognition, making such a judgment was actually not wrong.
Living in the Rural Hometown was indeed more comfortable and at ease than living in the City.
If it were not for policy binding Real Estate together with education and medical care, how many Rural People would be willing to buy houses in the City?
But the torrent of the times could not be stopped by human power; as an ordinary Small Figure, even if you knew that spending several hundred thousand or several million to buy that pile of Steel bar and Cement was not worth it, you still had to grit your teeth and buy it.
Not for any other reason, but just regarding children's education, that alone could hold the vast majority of Ordinary People in this world firmly in its grasp.
"I'm full."
Wang Dashan put down his Bowl and Chopsticks, stood up, and returned to his Room.
He had little appetite tonight.
Li Xiulan saw Wang Dashan's Expression and could not help but feel some Worry.
But she could not say anything, after all Wang Dashan was already an adult.
Many things he had to decide for himself; as parents, they could only offer Opinions and could not Forcibly interfere.
Wang Dashan entered Inside his Room, lay on the bed, took out his Mobile Phone, and wanted to send a WeChat to Du Xiaojuan.
But he typed and deleted, deleted and typed, and did not send a single message.
He suddenly felt that Du Xiaojuan was a Stranger and did not know how to Communicate with her anymore.
Putting down his Mobile Phone, looking at the Ceiling, he could not help but Sigh once.
Just then, his Phone Ring sounded once.
Wang Dashan's first Reaction was that Du Xiaojuan had sent a message!
Picking up his Mobile Phone to look, sure enough, Du Xiaojuan had sent a message over!
He had sent a voice message!
He was immediately overjoyed!
Bottom Line, you still took the Initiative to talk to me!
Wang Dashan's mouth corner curved slightly, looking pleased as if he had won a battle.
But when he opened the voice message, the Smile on his face immediately stiffened.
"Dashan, let's break up."
