Volume 2 Chapter 44 Seven Years Ago's Farewell
Geng Xiaoqing didn't want to remember the unpleasant memories between her and her mother, but Ms. Hong was like a lingering nightmare, jumping out from time to time to harass her.
When you are in a hurry to drink red wine, it is easy to get on your head, and your hands and feet are easy to tremble. Geng Xiaoqing laughed, she thought of Zhang Yaoyao's mother, that Ms. Gu trembled at every turn, is it also related to drinking?
It is said that after Zhang Yaoyao went abroad, he often sent her messages, and Geng Xiaoqing occasionally replied to him once or twice, chatting without being salty or light. After a long time, with their respective circles, they have nothing to talk about.
Geng Xiaoqing's WeChat was registered with a QQ number, so she added Zhang Yaoyao a long time ago. Zhang Yaoyao is very active in the circle of friends, and he takes selfies every once in a while, accompanied by a sad text that makes people scratch their heads, creating an atmosphere of being hurt by love.
However, Geng Xiaoqing also admitted that after studying abroad, Zhang Yaoyao's taste has improved a lot, and his temperament is indeed much more outstanding than before. In Geng Xiaoqing's impression, he has to change his girlfriend every few months and show his affection in a very high-profile manner. When dating beauty B, he deleted the photo of beauty A, and occasionally set the circle of friends to be visible for a few days, but changed it back after a few days.
Geng Xiaoqing is often confused by his series of operations, and he also wonders - is he so boring?
But she soon came back to her senses - she was always "looking at the adulterers" of his boring and unpretentious life of the rich three generations, and she was quite boring.
It would be great if Tong Tong was also so active in the circle of friends! But after so many years, Geng Xiaoqing has never been able to add Tong Tong's WeChat. Probably, the QQ number lying in her "family" list has long been abandoned!
Growing up together since childhood, Geng Xiaoqing and Tong Tong have a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days, and they are used to being noisy. But Geng Xiaoqing never dreamed that on that day, Tong Tong would actually tell her that from tonight onwards, she would never contact her again.
Geng Xiaoqing always regarded feelings as worthless, but after Tong Tong said this, she experienced for the first time what it means to be so heartache that it is difficult to attach.
On that day seven years ago, she also learned the news of Teacher Meng's death, but she couldn't be happy that there was one less "competitor". She didn't feel sorry for the loss of a young life, but felt that this competitor had gone too hastily and she couldn't feel a sense of accomplishment.
That day, she mechanically packed up her books and planned to be a tutor, but her mother came home and shouted Geng Xiaoqing's name in the alley, saying that she was not ashamed to live in someone else's house before she got married.
Geng Xiaoqing felt very funny, she was actually scolded by a *, but she scolded too badly, Geng Xiaoqing had no choice but to face the battle in person and block her mouth.
After not seeing her for a few months, Hong Lingyu was dark and thin, her eyes were dull, and she completely lost the proud appearance she had when she left home. Needless to say, her mask business must have lost all her money, and it seems that she has to come back to her old business.
Recalling the various cries coming from her shampoo room, Geng Xiaoqing's scalp was numb, and he couldn't hide his disgust. Fortunately, she was admitted to the university and will soon be able to get rid of this life, so it doesn't hurt to endure it for a few more days.
Hong Lingyu forgot that her daughter had just gone through the college entrance examination, and she didn't ask her how many points she scored, and she didn't even ask her how she had been in the past few months, and asked with a face: "How much money do you have?"
Geng Xiaoqing took a sip: "If you don't have money, I won't give it to you if you have money." ”
Hong Lingyu raised her hand and slapped her, scolding: "The old lady worked hard to raise you, and you just talk to me like this?"
"No money is no money, all the money in the family has been taken away by you, I don't even have money for food!"
Geng Xiaoqing cried, but Hong Lingyu was still unmoved, she pulled Geng Xiaoqing's backpack and said, "You have been working outside for several years, and you must have saved a lot of money." You bring it out for me!"
"No, that's the tuition I saved for myself!"
"Dead girl! After high school, you still want to go to college? Eat and drink me, when I use the money, you still don't give it? I paid you so much tuition, and you don't pay me back?"
The two pulled and pulled, Geng Xiaoqing was not soft-hearted at all, she protected her schoolbag on her chest. Hong Lingyu saw that it was hard to work, so she begged: "Xiaoqing, save your mother! If you don't pay back the money, people will cut off my hands!"
I don't know if she borrowed a loan shark, or if she provoked someone in the underworld, it was so dangerous to borrow money. But Geng Xiaoqing was not interested in understanding at all, and still rejected her very simply: "You figure it out yourself, can't you sell it?......?"
These words poked Hong Lingyu's shortcomings, her cheeks were flushed, she was angry, picked up a broken brick, and threw it at Geng Xiaoqing without hesitation. Who knew that she smashed it very accurately, and smashed it into her daughter's temple at once, and Geng Xiaoqing fainted instantly.
Hong Lingyu didn't worry about her daughter's safety, but quickly took out the passbook and ID card from her schoolbag, scolded "The little * cub actually saved 5,000 yuan", and ran away.
Geng Xiaoqing lay on the ground, the world in front of him turned red, and tears silently slid down his cheeks. She was extremely desperate, she used to just hate her mother, but at that moment, she hated her solidly.
That's the tuition she saved for three whole years, and that's the tuition she saved by going to the restaurant to serve dishes when others were taking a break or attending cram school. Hong Lingyu took it mercilessly, cutting off all her imagination of a beautiful new life.
Geng Xiaoqing has always taken a long-term view, the tuition fee has been robbed, and she has to find a way to make it up. Her head was still bleeding, so she called everywhere to ask what to do with her student loans. The school teacher was a warm-hearted person, and kindly advised her not to worry, find a guarantor, and follow the formalities.
Guarantor?
Could it be that Geng Qiuyun, who had just been released from prison, could not be found, and finally got along well, so it was better not to provoke him. Besides, if he uses this "kindness" as a blessing, and asks her for this and that in the future, it will be troublesome.
Geng Xiaoqing begged him, he muttered for a long time, and said, "Tong Tong wants to learn computers, and I have to buy him a computer with the money I saved." What if he also has to take out a loan to go to school?"
Lao Tong has always been timid and afraid, and he is especially cautious when it comes to money, he definitely does not dare to take this responsibility. Geng Xiaoqing came out of Tong's house, and he couldn't think of anyone else who could make this guarantee. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, crying as she walked, and then she met Tong Tong.
Tong Tong was holding a large box in his arms, which contained a whole box of books, and he didn't know how he moved it back. His soul wandered outside his body, and his whole body looked hollow and weak, ready to fall at any moment.
Geng Xiaoqing didn't care to comfort him, and cried: "Tong Tong! I'm done! Hong Lingyu snatched all my tuition fees!"
Tong Tong continued to walk in despair, as if he didn't hear her cry, and walked over with his shoulder.
Geng Xiaoqing cried more and more, chasing him and shouting: "I want to apply for a student loan, but no one guarantees me." Tong Tong, I'm really finished, I've worked hard for so many years, and I got such a high score, but I was ruined by Hong Lingyu!"
Tong Tong turned a deaf ear, Teacher Meng took his soul away, he was just a walking corpse, he was no longer the Tong Tong who responded to her needs, her sky fell, he didn't care.
Geng Xiaoqing was annoyed and ashamed, stomped his feet, and said angrily: "I don't have to worry about you anymore!
He was still silent and walked straight into the house. Geng Xiaoqing covered his face in despair, tears kept oozing from his fingers. After a while, she felt a tall figure standing in front of her, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be Tong Tong.
He handed over a bank card with an expressionless face and said, "Take it, the password is my birthday in the household registration book." ”
It was the card that Lao Tong gave him, and inside it was his college tuition. If she took it, what would he do?
Tong Tong urged: "Take it!"
It shouldn't be taken. She knew what it was like to have lost hope, so she couldn't take away his hope. But even with this thought, she involuntarily reached out and took it.
She has a lot to say, she has a great desire for college, and she will definitely not forget his kindness in the future. She even wanted to say that he would definitely get better results in the exam if he repeated his studies for one year...... But Tong Tong preemptively said: "You accept this card, let's really cut it in two!"
“......”
"Before, I tried my best to meet whatever you wanted. Not only because you are my savior, but also because you have had too hard a life...... But from now on, I don't owe you anything. ”
Geng Xiaoqing was very scared, but she still held the bank card tightly and did not return it to him. She said in a trembling voice: "Tong Tong ......"
"Don't call me !!"
With an earth-shattering roar, Geng Xiaoqing was so frightened that he couldn't move.
Tong Tong turned his head, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his teeth were clenched, and he trembled all over because of anger: "What are you dissatisfied with me, come at me! Why do you curse her and let her stay in Japan forever? As you wish, her soul will stay there forever, are you satisfied? In order to find you, I didn't receive her call, are you satisfied?"
The night before, Geng Xiaoqing did say something like that, but she didn't take it to heart at all. Because of Teacher Meng's death, Tong Tong was so sad that she was going crazy, but she was still most concerned about her tuition fees, and she didn't say a word of comfort.
Her tuition fees were finally settled, but she didn't dare to ask Tong Tong what to do, she was worried that she would return the money again. By the time she wanted to comfort Tong Tong, it was already too late, and Tong Tong refused to see her. She thought that as usual, he would not be angry the next day, but early the next morning, Tong Tong disappeared.
Listening to Lao Tong, he packed a few clothes, took a few hundred yuan of travel expenses, went to the hospital to say goodbye to Lao Niu, and left home.
At that time, no one knew which university he applied to, nor what city he went to. He left the port city completely, and made a complete break with the past.
In the past seven years, Geng Xiaoqing has not wanted to find him all the time, but he has never responded. She used to be angry and desperate about it, and tried to forget about him by dating other boys, but every time she didn't have a relationship, she got tired of it.
As he said, she was indeed spoiled by him, and she could no longer pretend to be someone else in her heart.
Geng Xiaoqing held a women's cigarette in his mouth, looking at the prosperous scene outside, but he remembered the dark and cramped alley seven years ago, the rancid ditch, the muddy brick road, and the angry young man in the dim moonlight.
She rubbed her sore temples and sent him a QQ message again: "I'm going back to Beijing for you, but I'm afraid my career won't go well, I miss you." ”
