To be honest, after staying in the relatively desolate and remote Saibei for a long time, suddenly returning to this bustling metropolis is indeed a feeling that is difficult to describe.

The Loess Plateau that sings of "Xintianyou" is desolate and thick, barren but full of fire.

But here in Rongcheng, the scenery is more prosperous and noisy, and the heat is also gentle.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Miao gently touched Luo Xuan's elbow and asked in a low voice, "Are you busy looking at the hot girls in Rongcheng?"

Luo Xuan chuckled, "Yes, it's so beautiful that I can't see it all. I only regret that I only have one pair of eyes, which is really not enough!"

In fact, during this period, everyone wore either blue uniforms or yellow imitation military uniforms.

Even in this hot summer, hot girls, who are always known for their fierce personalities, can only wear a small white shirt on their upper body.

Below, she is still wearing a pair of very loose blue pants like the girls elsewhere.

And their hair is either fresh and neat short hair, or they have two thick braids.

It is said that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

The big girls and young wives all over the street are all dressed in this kind of neutral dress. How can there be anything good or bad about them?

If compared with the girls in Saibei, their skin is just fairer and their faces are more delicate.

Not long after the bus reached an area made up of alleys, Lu Miao got off the bus with Luo Xuan.

"Just give me an address and I'll go there myself." This time I returned to my hometown and saw my old friends, and there was always an indescribable feeling of alienation in my heart.

So Luo Xuan said: "I'd better not delay your work. You can go directly to the library to do your work. Anyway, you won't be able to participate in the conversation between me and your father."

Lu Miao smiled slightly, "The alleys in this area are very complicated. Even if I just write the address for you on a piece of paper, I'm afraid you will have to work hard for a long time to find it."

"Besides, when you finally find a place, you can't even get through the courtyard door."

Lu Miao smiled a little reluctantly, "The courtyard where my family lives now is different from before. If it were before, we could still play together with the children in the courtyard, and we would like to go out and go shopping together."

"But now, they jump in line and go to work. And because of their childhood playmates, their parents' jobs have changed a lot..."

Lu Miao sighed, "Even if my best friend from childhood is back, when we meet each other occasionally in the yard, we can only nod and say hello lightly. We no longer have half the intimacy we had before.

"

"Sometimes I even think about it. When I was a child, I looked forward to growing up every day. Now that I have grown up, I miss my childhood very much. But I can't go back now."

Lu Miao picked up Luo Xuan and left, "Let's go. In fact, sometimes, I think it's better to miss each other than to meet each other.

Now what Lu Miao said has a certain meaning.

But more of it comes from emotion.

So in these years of great change and great breakthroughs, too many things happened, and the changes were too fast.

Lu Miao took Luo Xuan to a place with lush trees and a gurgling river next to it.

While continuing to sigh: "Now I suddenly discovered that instead of meeting up in a teahouse, listening to a play, and watching the changes in faces, it is actually better to just keep exchanging letters. On the contrary, we will be more relaxed and harmonious.

.”

Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel his heart tightening after hearing this.

Over the years, Lu Miao has also written letters to Luo Xuan, and like before, she would include some food stamps, cash, etc. in the letters.

It's just that I haven't replied to Lu Miao a few times. Whenever I write a reply, it's usually to ask her not to send anything to me again.

In fact, not accepting these things is equivalent to rejecting other people's good intentions, and it also cuts off the emotional ties between each other.

As people grow up, they will gradually be affected by society.

Everyone, consciously or unconsciously, puts a protective shell on themselves.

No one will open up their heart easily and show their most vulnerable side to others.

Perhaps, this is the price of growth?

I waited until I arrived at a place where there were several yellow horn orchid trees in the yard, and the outside of the yard was filled with ivy and countless sweet-scented osmanthus.

Lu Miao faced the concierge, which was hidden behind lush green plants and almost completely integrated into the surrounding environment, and showed her ID through the glass window.

Then a simple and heavy wooden door slowly opened.

The large wooden door, which was heavy at first glance, opened slowly, but quietly.

Wait until you enter the door.

The first thing that catches the eye are several towering trees. With the shade of the trees, the noise and heat outside are instantly eliminated.

Between the tall tree crowns and the evergreens that are as tall as half a man, the corners of several villas are faintly revealed.

Lu Miao walked in front silently, and then entered the quietest and neatest corner of the yard, the antique two-story villa.

The two walked to the porch in front of the villa.

Just as Lu Miao was about to look for the key in her bag, the door was opened first.

It turned out to be Lu Gang, who came down to open the door himself, "Good boy, I thought that after so many years, the wind and sand in Mobei would destroy you into an old man. You are such a good guy, but you haven't changed at all?"
