The streets were filled with people rushing about. 。If there were an exception, it would probably be Mo Xiaochuan. 。At this moment, Mo Xiaochuan's eyes were vacant, devoid of any life or spark, appearing utterly lifeless and dazed. 。Just walked mechanically on the hot, scorching asphalt road. 。The surrounding vehicles, completely disregarded by Mo Xiao. 。Scolding, berating, and being completely ignored by Mo Xiaochuan. 。Because all that echoed in Mo Xiaochuan's mind now was a single sentence. Though the voice still sounded ethereal, to Mo Xiaochuan at this moment, it was no less than an arrow piercing his heart, causing him pain upon pain. 。"Mo Xiaochuan, let's break up." 。Mo Xiaochuan, let's break up. 。Let's break up. 。"Break up, break up, break up..." Mo Xiaochuan painfully clutched his head. The demonic voice, like a curse, constantly eroded Mo Xiaochuan's mind. 。"Ah---" Mo Xiao's hand frantically pulled at his hair, roaring towards the heavens. 。However, along the way, there was not a single person who showed contempt, disdain, or mockery. 。Because Mo Xiaochuan's voice was filled with sorrow, and his tone with grief. 。...so that the listener cannot help but be deeply moved and saddened... 。Mo Xiao'ao is an migrant worker from Su City, originally from Wanggu County, Cao City, Ludong Province. 。It is said that Mo Xiaochuan's hometown was the place where Cao Amand, a powerful warlord of the Three Kingdoms period, stationed his troops. 。But this did not bring any benefits to Mo Xiaochuan's hometown. On the contrary, it is possible that the 800,000 troops stationed there at the time consumed too much of the earth's energy, which may have led to the poverty of Wanggu County today. 。Therefore, most people in Wanggu County would migrate to other places to work and earn money to support their families. 。Mo Xiaochuan's parents were also honest and hardworking farmers, making a living each year from those three acres of saline-alkali land. 。Adding Mo Xiao's family of four siblings, they still couldn't be considered a complete labor force. They only ate and had nothing to do but wear their hands through the day. 。So, Mo Xiaochuan's family life has always been... 。Even so, Mo Xiaogang's father, Mo Hongjun, still gritted his teeth and provided for the education of his four children. 。In the eyes of this honest and kindhearted peasant, only studying had the chance to make one successful. 。However, Mo Xiaogang's two younger brothers, Mo Xiaoshan and Mo Xiaoyuan, and his sister Mo Xilan, did not have the talent for this and gave up their studies early to enter society and struggle to make a living. 。Only Mo Xiaochuan experienced an emotional rollercoaster, his achievements fluctuating greatly. After a year of retakes, he finally stumbled his way into Wang Gu County's top high school. 。When Mo Xiaochuan learned that he had been admitted to Wanggu County's No. 1 High School, he let out a long sigh of relief in private. 。Because he failed the entrance exam for junior high school that year, his father Mo Hongjun, with a darkened face, made him kneel on the cold concrete ground. Holding a wet hemp rope in his hand, he beat him mercilessly, a scene that kept flashing through his mind. 。Mo Xiao didn't know what awaited him if he failed the middle school entrance exam again. He couldn't even imagine how terrible his future would be. 。Thankfully, although it was a struggle, I managed to pass the exam. 。In high school, Mo Xiaochuan's grades were never outstanding. He always hovered around the middle of the class in every exam. 。For others' dream ivory towers, Li Moxiao still finds them very distant. 。During his sophomore year of high school, the naive and impressionable Mo Xiaoxiao plunged headfirst into a whirlwind. 。He walks with the vortex child, Feng Xiaoxi. 。She was not exceptionally beautiful, but rather pleasant and graceful. 。It is exactly the image of a virtuous and kind wife and mother that Mo Xiaochuan imagined. 。Actually, Mo Xiaochuan knew his own worth. He didn't have high expectations for prestigious universities; all he really wanted was to get into a decent school, find an average job, marry a woman who was good-looking, have a well-behaved child, and build a happy little family where they could live peacefully together. Then, he would spend his life in this simple way. 。But Feng Xiaoxi was, in Mo Xiao's eyes, exactly the kind of person who could accompany him through his whole life. 。The only thing that was unsatisfactory was that Feng Xiaoxi's academic performance was very good. 。Get into a good university. 。That's why Mo Xiaochuan and Feng Xiaoxi were always anxious when they were together, but you can't make someone study badly just because of yourself. 。Feng Xiaoxi obviously knew Mo Xiao's thoughts and often advised him, "Don't worry, Xiao, I will always be by your side and grow old with you." 。Look, you are Xiaogiao, and I am Xiaoxi. Only you can reveal my existence. 。Our fate was destined by heaven. 。You can't walk away from me, and you can't run away from me. 。When Feng Xiaoxi said this, his face was... 。But the determination in her eyes was impossible to hide. 。This made Mo Xiao very 。Because Mo Xiaochuan couldn't figure it out, with his poverty-stricken status, his dismal performance, and appearance that was merely passable, 。What else does Feng Xiaoxi want from him besides sincerity? 。Just like that, the two of them quickly fell into the river. Although they didn't die or anything, it was a deeply harrowing experience. 。During this period, under the help and encouragement of Feng Xiaoxi, Mo Xiao's performance also saw significant improvement. 。Finally, it stabilized around the top twenty in the class. 。This way, getting into a good undergraduate program shouldn't be a problem. 。Time flies. 。In the blink of an eye, the college entrance examination is right around the corner. 。Mo Xiao and Feng Xiaoxi have spent more time together, but their relationship has become even deeper. 。Back then, the college entrance exams were still held in sweltering July. 。The dreaded Black July, long awaited and feared by all aspiring students, has arrived as scheduled. 。Whether trembling or not, the first blade, the head is still one blade. 。I wonder how many people, with hearts filled with passion and a spirit of selflessness, bravely stepped into that battlefield without a single shot fired. 。Ten years of solitary study, unknown to all, One success brings fame throughout the world. 。This is the dream of many students. 。However, the final outcome was that some families rejoiced while others were filled with sorrow. 。Well, Mo Xiaochuan is among those few who are worrying. 。It's not that Mo Xiaogang didn't do well on the college entrance exam, but rather that he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer the year before. 。Just four days after receiving his acceptance letter from the Capital Hua Management Academy, Mo Xiaochuan passed away due to a serious illness that could not be cured. 。When she left, the old woman still had a smile on her face. 。Mo Xiao's family had already spent all their savings on medical expenses and were also deeply in debt. 。And later, when handling the funeral arrangements, it further burdened Mo Xiaochuan's family with debt. 。Under these circumstances, even if Mo Xiaochuan were to get into university, what would his family use to pay for the astronomical fees that would be impossible for them to afford right now? So, Mo Xiaochuan made a decision: to go out and work. 。Mo Xiaochuan's decision, of course, was met with opposition from the whole family. 。After all, for generations our ancestors toiled the land. Now finally, there is someone who can break free from this cycle of fate. 。If we give up, what a sin it would be. 。Both Mo Hongjun and Mo Xiaochuan's mother, Ren Sumei, are unwilling to accept the situation. 。Finally, Mo Xiaochuan used the excuse of working during summer vacation to persuade Mo Hongjun and Ren Sumei to agree. 。But still let Mo Xiaochuan promise them to return to school on time. 。Mo Xiaochuan assured them again and again that he would definitely not delay his school reporting time, only then did Mo Hongjun's parents feel relieved. 。But how could they know, that Mo Xiaochuan who had always appeared as a well-behaved and obedient child from childhood to adulthood, was breaking their wishes for the first time in his life. 。When Mo Xiaochuan left, he didn't let anyone see him off. 。Because he couldn't bear to see his mother's tears, and his father's self-reproachful eyes. 。So, the next day when Ren Sumei woke up early to cook for Mo Xiaochuan, she found that his bed had already been tidied up. A letter addressed to her parents lay neatly on a small table beside the bed. 。At the Wanggu County Bus Station, Feng Xiaoxi held onto Mo Xiao's hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment. She was afraid that if she let go, Mo Xiao would disappear forever. 。"Xiao Xi, don't do this, the more you do, the more uncomfortable I feel..." 。"This path I chose myself. Just like before, encourage me to keep going, okay?" Mo Xiao watched Feng Xiaoxi's appearance, his heart full of pity. 。"Xiao Chuan, could we try a different approach? For me, and for our future..." 。Feng Xiaoxi’s large eyes stared unblinkingly at Mo Xiao. 。"Xiao Xi, you know the situation at our home..." 。Now that I'm getting older, I feel bad knowing that my parents would still bend over backwards for me and put on a smile just to ask people for favors. 。"Mo Xiaochuan wrote on Feng Xiao's head, a bitter smile appeared on her face." 。"But do you know how difficult this path you've chosen is? Most people start out with the same ideas as you, but in the end, they often find themselves with no way out." 。Even if in the end only a few people succeed, they have all put in countless efforts and sweat. 。"Feng Xiaoxi is still working hard, those who don't want to leave, they should have a better future." 。"Hehehe, what do you mean no way out? Didn't the master say? There are no paths in this world, only because many people walk, there are roads." 。Why can't I walk my own path? Besides, the road is chosen by oneself. No matter how difficult it is, one has to keep going, even if it means crawling, one must crawl out a future. 。"Mo Xiaochuan's voice grew firmer and firmer." 。""Xiao Chuan, are you really determined?" Feng Xiaoxi looked like she was about to cry. I felt sorry for her. " 。Mo Xiaochuan's heart ached, and he almost packed his bags. He grabbed Feng Xiao Xi and turned around to get on the bus and head home. 。Last, Mo Xiaochuan calmed his mind and gently held Feng Xiaoxi in his arms, "Xiaoxi, I'm sorry" 。Although I have no lofty ambitions, I am still a man. 。I will work hard to provide a bright future for my parents and our family. 。is just temporary, it's for us to be together in the long run. 。Feng Xiaoxi, after hearing Mo Xiao's words, wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly with all her might. She hugged him so hard that she almost squeezed him completely inside. 。 |
