Chapter 136 A new journey
At the side, Liu Hua stared at her back with a concerned look on his face, unable to hide his reluctance. "Chen Fang, have you really decided to leave?" His voice was mixed with a hint of anxiety and expectation.
"Of course." Chen Fang smiled slightly, and gently stroked the knot on the backpack with her fingers. "This has been my wish for many years. Now I finally have the opportunity to realize it. How can I not go?"
"But I'm worried that you won't be able to adapt to life in the city." Liu Hua frowned slightly, with deep worry in his clear eyes. "The customs there are very different from those in our village."
"I understand your concerns," Chen Fang nodded seriously, her tone firm, "but I have decided that no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, it will not stop me from pursuing my dreams."
"I know you have the courage." Liu Hua's eyes gradually softened, but he was still unwilling to let go. "However, if you encounter any difficulties, please be sure to contact me in time, and I will do my best to help you."
"Don't worry, Liu Hua, I will take good care of myself." Chen Fang smiled in response, secretly pleased with the person who has been silently supporting her. "Also, if I have a good time in the city, I will definitely come back in the near future, and I will definitely keep these promises."
"Okay." Liu Hua finally felt relieved, a smile appeared on his lips, "I'll wait for you to come back and bring back your experiences and adventures in the city."
"You have to be prepared for this." Chen Fang winked mischievously, and her lively expression dispelled Liu Hua's worries. "I will remember the food, customs, and even the interesting things in the city, waiting for you to experience them."
"Then I have to be prepared to endure hardships." Liu Hua smiled and shook his head, his face filled with sunshine-like happiness. However, as his smile gradually faded, an indescribable emotion surged in his eyes, "After all, I just hope you live a good life."
"I will." Chen Fang said softly, secretly moved in her heart. Although they were about to separate, she also felt a kind of power at this moment.
"Then I won't delay you any longer, otherwise you will be late." Liu Hua nodded vigorously, with reluctance in his tone. He watched her back getting farther and farther away, and silently prayed for blessings in his heart.
The path winds and stretches, passing through the blooming wildflowers, and Chen Fang walks step by step towards the future. As the road stretches, her concerns become clearer. The familiar faces in the village, the warm sunshine, the laughter of relatives and friends, flow through her mind like gentle pictures.
"I will try my best to make you proud." She said silently in her heart, and her steps became more and more firm, as if the hope for the future was guiding her direction.
Life in the city was just as Liu Hua had said, a mixture of prosperity and complexity. When Chen Fang first arrived in the city, she was shocked by the bustling crowds and the dazzling array of shops. Every scene seemed strange and novel, as if there was an unsolved story behind every window.
"Is this the city?" she said to herself, with a hint of surprise on her face. The bustling streets, the busy crowds, and the refreshing air all announced this new beginning.
However, the excitement that quietly rose in her heart was gradually filled with longing. She thought of the conversation with Liu Hua, and his caring expression emerged in her mind. A trace of warmth and a slight melancholy intertwined in her heart.
"May you fly higher in this land." She kept her promise in mind and encouraged herself secretly, always carrying with her vision for the future and attachment to her hometown in her heart.
"Xiaofang, look at the lanterns over there!" On the roadside, a young man waved his arms excitedly, pointing to the market nearby, with a longing gleam in his eyes.
"Liu Hua, look! This city is so lively!" Chen Fang turned her head, her face filled with amazement. Her mood at this moment was like a blooming flower, just like the brightness of a beautiful spring day.
"Let's go take a look." Liu Hua responded with a smile, and his inner joy was also infected by her enthusiasm. He originally accompanied her to the city, but in this bustling city, he felt a new kind of happiness.
Along the busy streets, stalls were staggered in front of her, and all kinds of snacks exuded a fragrant aroma. The smell of sugar-roasted chestnuts, osmanthus cakes, and fried spring rolls tempted her taste buds, and Chen Fang's eyes sparkled with joy.
"Let's try that!" She pointed directly at a stall selling candied haws, a trace of saliva already flowing from her mouth, her heart full of anticipation.
"Okay, let's go!" Liu Hua responded, having already taken out a penny in his hand, and walked towards the stall owner with great interest.
"Boss, I want two candied haws." Liu Hua raised the corner of his mouth without hesitation, and his boyish innocence was fully revealed at this moment.
"You're welcome. I'll treat you." Chen Fang pushed him away slightly and shook her head with a smile on her face. "This is my first delicacy since I came to the city. I'll buy it."
"Okay then." Liu Hua hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and accepted her proposal. Seeing her excited, he secretly felt as if he was in a carnival of people and food.
After buying the candied haws, the two of them walked and enjoyed them, the sweetness spreading on their tongues, and pure happiness on their cheeks. "It tastes really good!" Chen Fang smiled, with a slight blush on her face.
"Let's go check out the other stalls." Liu Hua suggested, excitedly pulling her hand and running to the other side of the street.
Here, everything is full of novelty. An old man selling handicrafts was showing off his stall while chatting and laughing. The colorful jewelry attracted countless people's attention. "Look at this phoenix feather hairpin, how delicate it is!" Chen Fang exclaimed and reached out to touch it.
"Do you like it? I carved it myself." The old man smiled and seeing that she was very interested, he quickly recommended it to her.
"This..." She turned back to look at Liu Hua, with a hint of hesitation on her face, "Although I really want to buy it, but the money..."
"It's okay. If you really like it, I can pay for you." Liu Hua looked a little serious, with determination in his eyes.
"I don't want you to spend money on me." Chen Fang shook her head. Although she was eager, she also knew the financial pressure on both sides. "Let's spend less."
"But you deserve it." Liu Hua said with a gentle look, which made Chen Fang stunned for a moment. At this moment, he seemed more charming than ever.
"Okay, then I won't buy it for now." With a slight sigh, she lowered her head and forced herself to look away from the exquisite hairpin.
"Let's go, don't be so sad." Liu Hua smiled gently and took her hand, as if hoping to bring her mood back to happiness.
As the two continued to travel, the surrounding scenery became more and more charming. The sounds of vendors and laughter in the streets intertwined into a beautiful melody that rang in their ears. Even Chen Fang, who had just arrived, was instantly immersed in it, as if the entire city was a colorful painting waiting for her to appreciate carefully.
Suddenly, there was a burst of joyful gong and drum sounds coming from the front, attracting everyone's attention. "Wow! Go and have a look." Chen Fang's eyes sparkled, and she walked over there without hesitation.
After walking through the crowd, the two came to an open space where a folk performance was going on. Acrobats were tumbling and jumping, and children were laughing and screaming. The whole scene was lively and dazzling.
"This is so wonderful!" Chen Fang stared at the performance on the stage, her eyes filled with excitement, and her heart was also filled with endless longing for the future. She was no longer in the tranquility of the countryside, she had already entered a brand new era.
