Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the Shanghai Railway Station. No matter when it was, it was crowded, and people of all kinds could see it. There were workers, businessmen, and tourists. Although there were many windows, there were still a long queue. Li Xiangming was afraid that Huo Xiaoyan would be lost, so he kept holding Huo Xiaoyan's hand and let her stand in front of him.

I felt like I had been queuing for a long time and didn't move. There were always some people in front of me who were rushing in line. Li Xiangming was a little annoyed. If I continued like this, when would it take to queue up like this? Moreover, the train from Shanghai to Nanyang was about to be driven in only one hour. If it was my turn to buy tickets, I might have to buy tickets for tomorrow. Li Xiangming thought for a while, so he pulled Laho Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, let's go to the front to buy tickets."

"But..." Huo Xiaoyan hesitated a little, as if he thought that Li Xiangming was going to go to the lineup.

Li Xiangming smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I won't go to the lineup, I'll ask others to buy it for us."

"But will others buy it for us?" Huo Xiaoyan was still a little hesitant. After all, after queuing for so long, if others don't buy it for them, they will have been in queuing for so long.

Li Xiangming didn't answer her, and pulled her forward. At this time, the third person was a young man with dark skin. He looked like a worker. Li Xiangming still sympathized with these people. Although he had never worked, he understood the hardships of working, so he walked over and pretended to be very anxious and said, "Handsome guy, now I have something urgent to go back at home. Can you buy a ticket for me? I'll give you two hundred yuan."

He said, handing over the money and ID card.

When the young man saw that he had money, his eyes immediately lit up. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, where are you going?"

"You buy ones from Shanghai to Nanyang, buy the most recent bus, buy two, and buy ones with the next seat, buy ones with the next seat. The extra money is all yours." Li Xiangming said, and handed the young man 600 yuan.

The young man naturally knew that it would take 200 yuan to go to Nanyang in Shanghai, and he could earn 200 or dozen yuan. He was very happy. When the people around him saw it, they had nothing to say. After all, Li Xiangming did not go to the line. This world is just like this. Everything is easy to do if you have money. If you have money, you can only watch and queue up honestly.

Soon, the young man bought the ticket for Li Xiangming. There seemed to be few people on the train. He bought the ticket for the next seat. Li Xiangming led Huo Xiaoyan out of the ticket hall, bought some food, and then walked into the waiting hall.

Forty minutes later, Li Xiangming and Huo Xiaoyan finally got on the train. At this time, it was already dark and the atmosphere in the train seemed very dull. Huo Xiaoyan kept holding Li Xiangming's hand, as if he was afraid of losing it.

"Xiaoyan, if you are tired, just lean in my arms and sleep for a while." Li Xiangming looked a little tired when he looked at Huo Xiaoyan's appearance, so he hugged her body in his arms.

"Xiangming, you are so nice." Huo Xiaoyan felt extremely moved when he thought of what Li Xiangming did for her, and tears couldn't help but shed. She was not a girl who liked to cry, but in front of her beloved, she could not help crying, which was a tears of happiness.

When Li Xiangming heard her say she was good, she felt extremely guilty. Maybe she didn't know that she was on multiple boats. If she knew, would she still feel good?

Li Xiangming didn't think much about it, but just hugged her tighter. Maybe the only thing she could give her was such a hug. After a while, Huo Xiaoyan fell asleep in Li Xiangming's arms. She slept very sweetly, and her fair face looked very peaceful. Only the one she loved could give her this sweet feeling.

Li Xiangming looked out the window, and the side outside the window was pitch black, and occasionally flashed lights flashed by.

These lights are in remote villages, in small hotels on the roadside, and in ordinary farmers. However, around the lights, there is nothing but darkness.

Who are these lights lighted for?

Is it for the children who are wandering outside, or for the lover who has not returned home late at night, or maybe neither, just to illuminate the road?

Li Xiangming was thinking about these clueless things, but he could never think of one. Sometimes, thinking only makes people feel even more sad.

After a long drive of nineteen hours, the train finally arrived at Nanyang Station. Huo Xiaoyan still looked very tired. No matter when, it was a hard work to take the bus.

"Xiangming, I have to take another bus." Huo Xiaoyan pulled Li Xiangming to the long-distance bus station because their family was in a small village and was three hours away from the city.

"Xiaoyan, the first time I met your parents, would you buy something?" Li Xiangming suddenly remembered this question. This was his first time to go to his girlfriend's house, and he became serious.

"No need to buy anything." Huo Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"How can this work?" Li Xiangming looked at her angrily, and then asked again: "Does your dad smoke?"

"Don't think about smoking and drinking anymore. My dad doesn't smoke or drink. Think about something else." Huo Xiaoyan said with a smile.

Li Xiangming also smiled and said, "Would you like to give your dad a platinum?"

"Naobaijin?" Huo Xiaoyan was stunned.

"I won't accept gifts during the holiday this year, but I only receive Nao Platinum." Li Xiangming said with a smile.

After listening to it, Huo Xiaoyan couldn't help laughing. This advertisement was often heard when he was a child, but he disappeared after growing up. I don't know if there is still a product called Nao Platinum now.

Naturally, Li Xiangming would not really buy old platinum anymore. He discussed with Huo Xiaoyan and bought a piece of clothing for his parents, another high-end gift bag, and some fruits. The two of them took large bags and small bags to board the long-distance bus together.

Three hours later, Li Xiangming finally arrived at Huo Xiaoyan's hometown. This is a small village, with an estimated twenty or thirty families. The weather is very hot, and the village seems very quiet, and the doors are basically closed. At this time, everyone in the village has already started working in the field. When they walked to the front of a fake three-story building, a big yellow dog suddenly popped up and barked at Li Xiangming. Huo Xiaoyan walked over, smiled and patted the dog's head and said, "Dahuang, what's your name? Do you even recognize me?"

When the big yellow dog saw Huo Xiaoyan, it stopped barking immediately. It kept shaking its tail and jumping in front of Huo Xiaoyan. Huo Xiaoyan smiled and grabbed the two legs in front of it to tease it. The big yellow dog looked very excited and kept shaking its tail. Sometimes he turned around and shouted at Li Xiangming, but he didn't know what it was calling.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came out and said, "Xiaoyan, you are back."

Li Xiangming looked at the voice and saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties walking out of the building and looking at Huo Xiaoyan's happy smile.

"Mom." Huo Xiaoyan immediately ran over, grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand, and her face was filled with a happy smile.

Li Xiangming walked over with a smile. Although he was a little nervous, he still tried his best to pretend to be natural.

Zhang Xiumei also saw Li Xiangming, so she asked Huo Xiaoyan: "Who is he?"

"He is my boyfriend." Huo Xiaoyan said happily. It can be seen that she has a good relationship with her mother and does not look shy.

"Aunt, hello, my name is Li Xiangming." Li Xiangming walked over with a smile and greeted him politely.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiumei immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Xiaoyan's boyfriend, come in and sit down."

As she said that, she went to pick Li Xiangming enthusiastically, then took the gift from Li Xiangming and said, "Just come back and take a look. What are you doing when buying these many things?"

"Mom, Xiangming bought it specifically for you. I said don't buy it, he insisted on buying it." Huo Xiaoyan immediately said good things to Li Xiangming.

"You are unfilial, and you can't catch up with your boyfriend." Zhang Xiumei said unhappily, then poured another cup of tea and handed it to Li Xiangming, "Come on, have tea."

"Thank you aunt." Li Xiangming took the tea with both hands and took a sip.

Huo Xiaoyan didn't care about her mother's words at all, and she still had a smile on her face, and then asked, "Where is Dad?"

"He is still cutting corn in the field." Zhang Xiumei replied.

"Is the corn ripe?" Huo Xiaoyan asked curiously. At this time of year, corn had just grown a stick, and it was impossible for it to be so early this year.

Zhang Xiumei sighed sadly when she heard Huo Xiaoyan’s question, and then said, “It’s been dry here this year. It hasn’t rained for seven or eight months. Peanuts and corn have all been dried to death. If the corn stem is cut, you can go to the cattle farm to sell some money. If it is dry, it won’t get a penny.”

After listening to this, Huo Xiaoyan couldn't speak and felt a sense of speechless sadness.

Zhang Xiumei picked up the straw hat on the table and a large bottle of water, looked at Huo Xiaoyan and the others and said, "You guys are playing in the house, I'll go to the field to bring water to your father."

"Mom, I'm going too." Huo Xiaoyan said immediately.

"What are you doing? The sun is so strong outside, it's all tanned." Zhang Xiumei said angrily, her voice full of maternal love.

"I just want to go." Huo Xiaoyan said unreasonably.

Li Xiangming also said, "Let's go and have a look. I want to go and see my uncle too."

Zhang Xiumei thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Then let's go."

The temperature outside was very high, and there were only two straw hats in the house. Zhang Xiumei wore one of Huo Xiaoyan and Li Xiangming, but Li Xiangming put the straw hat on Zhang Xiumei's head and said with a smile: "Auntie, my boy is not afraid of heat, you can just wear it."

Zhang Xiumei smiled happily and thought to herself, this child is really sensible.
