Forest Town Station.

Passenger cars will stop here, and the conductor will sit near the door and remind passengers which station they have reached with a loud voice.A wave of passengers goes down, and another wave comes up.

Passengers on the bus, the conductor will ask where they are going, and after paying the fee, she will tick the location of the destination in her registration book.

The conductors are generally middle-aged aunts, who wear a small cloth bag slanted around their waist all the year round, containing small change.It is more common for the driver to be a middle-aged uncle. He likes to take a puff of cigarette when he arrives at the terminal.

Wearing white gloves, there is always a water cup filled with tea all the year round next to the seat.

As soon as the door is opened and closed, summer turns to winter, day after day.

There is already a tacit agreement.

Ruan Gai used to stand at the entrance of the station, looking at the passing vehicles.

Especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching every year, as long as I have free time, I will squat at the station entrance.

Even though my mother told her on the phone that she might not arrive home until the 27th of the year, it may be later, depending on the specific day of the ticket bought at the station.But she will stay at the station from the day the winter vacation begins.

At that time, buying tickets online was not yet popular, and people who went out to work, went to work, or caught up with the Spring Festival travel rush had to queue up at the station.When you are lucky, you can buy seats. When you are unlucky, there are no seats.

Even if there is a sleeper, it will be reluctant to spend more money.

Even the price of the green leather train that year was not too high.

In the following many years, Ruan Gai always thought that he had never tasted the taste of waiting.

But when I look back and think about it, she was actually waiting from the beginning.

Wait for the people you miss to return, and wait for the expectations and hopes in your heart to take root and sprout.

It seems that there is no stage in life that does not need to wait.

When she led the little dirty boy out, she held back a smile and asked, "Are you sure you want to go out like this to pick up Lao Mo and the others?"

The little dirty boy was wearing Ruan Gai's clothes from many years ago.

Clothes are just old, but well preserved.

Looked like new.

That's why the little dirty boy regards it as new clothes.

Because she couldn't bear to wear it.

In fact, my childhood clothes have been thrown away. When there is no rag at home, where would grandma use it as a rag to wipe it? After making the pillow case without a cotton core, I cut the old clothes into strips and stuffed them in; Or, the mop at home is broken, so the old clothes are cut into pieces and tied together.

But most of the clothes that were disposed of were made by grandma herself.

It seems that the adults in that era would do some tailoring, or mending, or knitting sweaters, hooking and embroidering shoes.

It's just that the style is relatively simple, with few patterns. It looks loose and loose, and there is no style, but it is still okay.

So being thrown or cut off is nothing to Ruan Gai.

Only those clothes that my mother brought back from outside cannot be touched by anyone.

Although my mother prefers my younger brother, the clothes I buy for her always fit well.When Ruan Gai received the clothes, he didn't react on the surface, but he was really excited inside.

Sneaky will try it on several times.

Then hang it on a hanger.

After New Year's Eve, on the first day of the new year, she will carefully take off her clothes, and then wear them out to meet her little friends.Throughout the day, she would be particularly concerned about whether the clothes she was wearing were dirty or not.

It's just that every time she gets new clothes, she only wears them for one day.

In the days that followed, the clothes were washed and hung up.

After a long time, I turned it out to wash, dry and dry.Even sealed it in a plastic bag.Don't let it get a trace of dust.

It's not because I don't want to wear it, but because I cherish and like it too much.

I can't bear to wear it.

But when she was young, she ignored that her body was changing day by day.

Year after year, the clothes she bought last year have been worn for a year, and when she wanted to find out and wear them, she found that she could no longer wear them.

At this time, grandma will scold her and say, what a prodigal.

The clothes I bought are never worn, and I still make a fuss about going to buy clothes every year.The clothes made for me are never cherished.Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, just like spending money.Do you have so much money at home that you can spend?

At this time, she will cry sadly.

It's not because of grandma's scolding and meanness.

She couldn't figure out why she couldn't own something she cherished so much in the end?

She obviously cared terribly.

Afraid of falling dust, she put it in a plastic bag; afraid of the smell, whether she would take it out to dry; even afraid of getting dirty, she was always reluctant to wear it if it was worn out.

In the end, it was lost.

Just like mom brought her a bottle of Nutrition Express from the city.

In the end, it was never owned from beginning to end.

At that time, the price of Nutrition Express was quite expensive among the drinks. Everyone drank a bottle of yogurt for one yuan, or the cheaper wahha.Only when the family conditions are good, will they buy a bottle of Nutrition Express for three to five yuan to four yuan.

Ruan Gai might not even have a chance to take a sip of yogurt at home, let alone a nutrition express.

So when Mom brought her a bottle from the city, she treasured it.

After a long time, she opened the bottle cap.After taking a deep breath, he took a small sip.Then just take such a small sip every day and cover it.Even if she wanted to drink again, she would endure it.

Don't allow yourself to finish drinking so quickly.

But she never expected that after drinking it for three consecutive days, on the fourth day, she found that the milk had changed a bit.

It seems to be broken.

But there are still more than two-thirds of the milk in the bottle.

But because of the spoilage of the milk, she couldn't drink it anymore, and she cried out of distress.

Grandma scolded again when she saw it.

Talk about her waste, but don't know that money is hard to earn.

She hid in the corner and wept secretly.

Tears swallowed into the stomach, it was astringent, but it seemed to be bitter.

She dared not speak.

I can only feel wronged in my heart, she didn't waste it, and it's not like she doesn't know that money is hard to earn.

She really cherishes it because it is too difficult to get.

However, I have overlooked that many things actually have a shelf life.

If you don't use it within the warranty period, even the most cherished things are meaningless.Can only be thrown away.

It doesn't matter if you cry or feel distressed.

are no longer available.

But how could children from poor families know these truths early in the morning.

No one crosses the river by feeling the stones.

Since then, Nguyen Gai has started to have the consciousness of saving money.

She no longer asks for anything from her family, especially her grandma.

Little by little, she slowly began to break free from some constraints, even though it seemed insignificant, it gave her confidence.

So when she met the little dirty boy, she would not feel timid.

This is the charm of growing independently.
