Chapter 5 Farewell

When the rooster crowed, the young couple got up and left. They carried their luggage on their backs, brought their dry cakes and military kettles for food and drink on the road. With the light of the lantern, they walked towards the county town more than ten miles away.

Although the weight was not light, Jing Jian left for three or four miles in one breath. Zhao Xia held the lantern and handed the kettle and said, "Stop and drink a little hot water, it's still early."

Jing Jian nodded thankfully and took a sip. Although his head was covered with white fog, Jing Jian did not feel tired. After being reborn, he recovered from his youthful body. Suddenly, he found Zhao Xia stepped into a snow pit, staggered, and suddenly reached out, grabbed Zhao Xia's arm, and stabilized her body.

Zhao Xia smiled sweetly at Jing Jian, stepped up a few steps and moved closer to Jing Jian: "The shoes are dirty, the road is too bad. Unlike the roads in Beijing, they are all asphalt. I have read pictorials. There is a kind of highway called foreign roads, which are wide and straight. Only small cars can walk on such roads. I really want to go and see them."

Jing Jian smiled slightly and thought, if he told Zhao Xia at this time, in less than thirty years, China's highway mileage will exceed that of the United States and become the world's number one. Will she regard herself as a fool?

However, with this topic, Jing Jian also felt that it was time to show off: "Xia, you have to go to college for two and a half years. Have you ever thought that after graduation, I will still be in the countryside?"

Zhao Xia was obviously stunned and hurriedly said, "What do you mean?"

Jing Jian looked at Zhao Xia and saw that she looked a little panicked, so he continued: "Have you ever thought about it? Maybe you still have the chance to go abroad or even stay abroad, so I'm just a burden."

"What do you think of me?" In a hurry, Zhao Xia cursed her native dialect.

Jing Jian smiled and asked again, it was embarrassing, so he shut up and continued to move forward. Zhao Xia obviously dragged back a few steps, and all became silent. Jing Jian silently counted his steps, which was the time for Zhao Xia to consider and choose.

Looking at Jing Jian's back, Zhao Xia's eyes were struggling. She wanted to speak several times, and then bit her lip several times. It was not until Jing Jian counted over a hundred steps that she heard a trembling begging: "Little kid! After graduation, you come to the capital, okay? It's time to get early."

In my heart, Jing Jian was not willing to hurt Zhao Xia. So I endured it. Some words must be explained clearly: "Xia! If I want you to believe, I have the ability to do a big career and have a lot of money. I will live in a villa, buy a luxury car, go to overseas islands on vacation, and go to Paris when shopping. Are you willing to wait for me and stay with me for the rest of my life?"

Jing Jian has decided that no matter what Zhao Xia thinks in her heart, as long as she can give a positive answer, she will do her best to manage the marriage and spend her whole life with her.

But Jing Jian gradually became disappointed. He continued to count his steps, and the silence between the two was simply suffocating. The previous words were indeed the truth, but in Zhao Xia's ears, it was like a fantasy. Until he counted to five hundred, Jing Jian sighed secretly: Zhao Xia was enjoying the fairy tale last night, and Zhao Xia was considering reality today. That is, she was kind-hearted and too honest, unwilling to tell the truth, and was unwilling to deceive herself.

"Xia, these are all my words in my heart. I am not a pity, or use any kindness to win the mercy in your heart, and then tie you to me. I am truly considering your future. If there is a good opportunity, seize it. If a couple has a hundred days of gratitude, I will support you if you make any choice. If you choose me, of course I am happy. If there are other choices, you will also give me a wonderful memory. Even if you can't be a couple, I hope to be a good friend."

Two teardrops as big as beans fell from Zhao Xia's eyes...

Until the county town and before boarding the long-distance bus, Zhao Xia seemed to make up her mind: "This is a test, I believe in myself."

Jing Jian smiled slightly: "Thank you!" Hearing that this was Zhao Xia's encouragement for herself, it was actually quite shaken and it was difficult to resist any temptation, but... I still have to thank her for her unyielding life in her previous life.

...

Watching the long-distance bus leave, Jing Jian felt a little disappointed, but it was quickly buried deep in his heart. Before leaving, he quietly stuffed 100 yuan into Zhao Xia's bag and secretly promised that if he was rich in money in the future, he would definitely guarantee her wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life. In addition, just... let's do this first! There is a saying that is really what Jing Jian said in his heart. You can become a good friend even if you break up. A couple will be kind to a hundred days a day!

In fact, Jing Jian has never experienced any love or friendship. One thing is similar to his father Jing Baisheng. He is cruel, ruthless, extremely proud, and his heart is as hard as iron. And some morbid think that men should be like this and they will never regret doing something wrong. So at this time, he actually felt a little relaxed.

Saying goodbye to a period of past finally made up for a regret. Or, it was mostly half, after all, it was missing the final conclusion. But it was almost the same. After half a year, Zhao Xia was admitted to the public school entrance examination, and when next year's start, she set foot on the other side of the ocean, then it should be the end.

And Jing Jian never thought about pursuing a new love immediately. Isn’t that brain-sucking? Now he is facing the problem of his own survival after he is reborn.

I also have to give my father-in-law Zhao's family 200 yuan, leaving only a little over 100. When I return the private land and go back to farm? I don't mention how much money and grain I should borrow, I'm really full. Now I have to earn a living expenses for myself. To put it simply, there is a place to work and move bricks.

I woke up early and rushed to the road. Although I had some dry cakes, I was still hungry. I looked around and saw that there were not many places to eat breakfast outside the bus station. Although the policy had already allowed self-employed people and even township enterprises were booming, in this small inland county, my concept was still too backward and few dared to do business.

Finally, I found a noodle stall with several tables along the street. Jing Jian didn't care about hygiene and found an empty seat to sit down. The camel below was busy and looked at Jing Jian: "Comrade, what do you want?"

"What's your specialty, boss?"

Unexpectedly, the hunchbacked and shook his hands: "I can't afford it. I'm just an individual worker, and I'm just relying on myself!"

Jing Jian was stunned. Unexpectedly, a popular name in later generations was so sensitive now. He suddenly recalled that the hunchman should have the surname Chen. With his unique skills as a hot sauce noodles, he later became a small wealthy person in the county and was well-known. He also heard that after getting rich, he married a young wife, which was quite beautiful.

So Jing Jian smiled and said, "Spicy noodles, add noodles and fried eggs."

"Haole."
