There are many girls who go out to work in the countryside in their teens and go home to get married around the age of 20. They dropped out of school and went out to work for some reasons when they were very young. About 20 years old, my family urged me to go home and get married.
My classmate Xiao Fang is such a girl. We are in the same school and class from primary school to junior high school, so we have a very good relationship.
One day in the second day of junior high school, everything changed. We were having an English class when she was called out by the teacher and didn't come to school for a few days. When she comes again, I can only watch her tidy up the books in the classroom and the bedding in the bedroom. She told me that something happened at home. Her father worked on a construction site, and his leg was accidentally crushed by a machine. All the money in the family has to be used to treat his father. She doesn't want to add burden to her family, so she doesn't plan to go to school and work in other places in the future. We hugged each other and cried, and I told her to take care of herself no matter what she did.
I have never seen her in my life. When I miss her, I will write that miss in my diary.
Every weekend holiday, whenever I meet someone from her family, I will ask, "How is she?" I don't know every time I receive an answer. I can't contact her without a phone call! At that time, telephones were not popular, and there were landline telephones in our village canteen. I stopped asking slowly, and it was no use asking.
When I saw her again, I was already a freshman. I slept soundly during the winter vacation. My mother ran to my bed and said, "Xiao Fang has come to see you." I also said to my mother, "Don't tease me, she hasn't been home for years." Then I heard her voice, and I woke up immediately. I said, "Where have you been these years?" Don't send me messages. "She said," I've been trying to make money, and I'm afraid to contact you. I won't be able to carry it. "She stayed at home for ten days. Either I play with her or she plays with me every day. We cherish the days together.
With the development of society, our life has also undergone earth-shaking changes. My mother bought me a mobile phone in my senior year, and I finally got in touch with Xiao Fang. We talk on the phone every week and tell each other what's happening around us. She often says to me, "You must study hard and don't be like me. I don't have a diploma now and I don't want you to have a good job. " After I was admitted to the university, she was happier than me. I know I have fulfilled her impossible dream. At school, her grades are always better than mine. If she can still go to school, she must be better than me.
When I was about to graduate from college, one day she called me and said, "My family asked me to go home, and someone went to my house to fix me up." I also joked: "What age are you close to? Just find one outside. " Before long, she told me, "I'm getting married. We don't have to run back and forth, so we can get the license. There is no wedding. " I am sorry to hear that.
After graduation, I met her. She married a man six years older than her. She seems to have aged a lot at once, talked less than before, and her hands became rough because of doing farm work. After I came out of her house, I cried all the way, and a girl as beautiful as flowers and jade fell down like this.
