Chapter 161 (1/2)
There were few passengers on the late night train and it was very quiet. Yao Jingjing sat against the window, watching the light rapidly recede from the window, and her heart plunged into the darkness ahead with the train.
Darkness doesn't mean the unknown. It's just a journey to another brightly lit city.
Yao Jingjing just goes back to visit her mother. The day after tomorrow, she will come back to work and continue to face every passenger boarding with a standard smile. But she felt that she was saying goodbye to a certain kind of life, and the days might not change, but from now on, she would have to give up some long-term things and compromise with others.
The road from Chuncheng to Cuan Prefecture is not far. It takes less than an hour by high-speed railway and two hours by ordinary air-conditioned car. However, Yao Jingjing has been sitting in a car for half a century. When she came out of cuanzhou station and smelled the familiar fog in her hometown late at night, she should be excited about going home, but suddenly felt that her legs were filled with lead and her feet were very heavy.
The very bright square light in front of her dragged her and the suitcase in her hand out a long shadow behind her.
After the spring city incident, she dared not call online car hailing, and the subway in Cuan Prefecture was silent after several years of high-profile planning. She simply took the box and walked slowly along the familiar road. Although it was a late night with few pedestrians, it was safer than sitting in a stranger's car.
In addition, her slow pace is more like a futile struggle, like a leaf struggling in the wind. No matter how much wind blows, she will inevitably fall into dust.
At dawn, Yao Jingjing came to the hospital. Her mother was ill again and was hospitalized, otherwise she wouldn't be in a hurry to come back. She looked at the time. Although her parents are used to getting up early, it's too early to go up at this time, and it's not time for the inpatient department to visit.
Yao Jingjing thought and sat down on the bench in the hospital. She was ready to go upstairs when it was completely dawn. She didn't notice that two sneaky people followed her all the way from the railway station to here.
”Hey, I said, is it this girl?”
”Yes, the train number given by brother Bazhi can't be wrong, and the people and photos are also right.”
”I hear she's still a stewardess?”
”It should be right. You see, she looks no worse than the host of our TV station.”
”Hey, if I can taste it, it's worth three years!”
”Don't think about it. I heard it was ordered by brother Bazhi's boss. Be careful that brother Bazhi peeled your skin!”
”Who is the boss of brother Bazhi?”
”I don't know!”
……
It was finally dawn. The nurse and the accompanying family members came out of the building and went to the canteen for breakfast. Yao Jingjing got up and entered the inpatient building.
Yao's mother, who was wearing a sick man's suit, looked good. Seeing her daughter, she was even more happy. But she scolded: ”didn't you say you came back yesterday? Why did you arrive this morning? Tell her mother, did you go on a date yesterday?”
”Mom!...” Yao Jingjing called home after the ticket change, but didn't say he would be back in the middle of the night in order not to worry them.
Father Yao said, ”Oh, look at you. Your daughter has just come back and hasn't eaten breakfast yet. You just ask what object is not an object!”
Mother Yao said, ”breakfast is to eat, and the object is to talk about! How many days can I live like this? If I don't hurry up, don't say grandson, I'm afraid I don't even know what my son-in-law looks like in my life!”
