Chapter 43: Girlfriend Comes to the Provincial City (Part I)
In late March, the design of the tank farm entered its final stages. Geng Zhiyuan hadn't been home for nearly a month, he couldn't see each other in love, Wei Xiao couldn't bear the love of Sijun, so he took advantage of the weekend to take the train to visit his boyfriend in the provincial capital.
The train station is a place where there are many tricks and tricks. Geng Zhiyuan was afraid that something would go wrong with his girlfriend, so he came to the exit of the train station early to wait. The exit is located on the basement floor of the station, the space is closed and the lights are dim, and people of all colors often gather here to patrol. Geng Zhiyuan didn't dare to be careless, his eyes widened and he was on guard.
At more than six o'clock, while anxiously waiting, Geng Zhiyuan finally saw Wei Xiao's familiar and somewhat unfamiliar figure in the bustling crowd at the exit of the station.
"Xiaoxiao!" Geng Zhiyuan shouted loudly, squeezing towards her against the flow of people.
Wei Xiaosheng's beauty was eye-catching, and as soon as she arrived at the exit of the station, she was targeted by two ill-intentioned men and pestered her.
"Miss, is it accommodation? ”
"Miss, stay with us, cheap and clean......"
The two men laughed left and right to block the way, Wei Xiao was ashamed and annoyed and couldn't get out, so anxious that his face changed. Geng Zhiyuan was furious, and rushed forward in three or two steps, squeezed away the two men and grabbed Wei Xiaodao: "Xiaoxiao, follow me!"
Geng Zhiyuan descended from the sky like a savior, Wei Xiaofang was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Zhiyuan ......!"
When the two men saw that the targeted beauty was coming to pick them up, they were still reluctant to say: "Alas, she is our guest, what do you want to do?"
Geng Zhiyuan changed his face and said sharply: "She is my wife, what do you say I am going to do?"
Geng Zhiyuan was tall and big, and the two men were half a head shorter than him, and seeing him with angry eyes, he didn't look like a master to be messed with, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take advantage of it, so he had to mumble and get out of the way and hide aside.
Geng Zhiyuan pulled Wei Xiao all the way to the ground before he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back, his smiling girlfriend's eyes were full of bone-eroding tenderness.
"Xiaoxiao!" Geng Zhiyuan clenched her hand and blurted out, "I miss me!"
In public, her boyfriend said such straightforward love words, Wei Xiao was so ashamed that her face was crimson, and her eyes were affectionate: "I miss you too!"
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat first. ”
"Well, I listen to you. Wei Xiao was like a docile kitten, following Geng Zhiyuan and leaving the station.
Sitting on bus No. 18, the two people were close to each other in their seats.
"Is there a bus in the provincial capital so late?" Wei Xiao looked at the brightly lit street scene outside the car window and sighed sincerely.
"It's half past eleven at the latest. Geng Zhiyuan boldly stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her slender waist and said, "Of course, the provincial city is more prosperous than ours." ”
The night is the best cover, and when he finally saw his long-missed boyfriend, Wei Xiao couldn't help but lean into his arms: "Zhiyuan, it's good to be with you! ”
"Me too!" Geng Zhi was so affectionate that he lowered his head and kissed her lightly, Wei Xiaojiao was embarrassed, and reached out to cover his hot cheeks.
The bus stops and goes, and the two lovers who snuggle together are already tender and sweet, and they can't wait for the car to go on like this, and they will never reach the end.
After a simple dinner at a small restaurant near the unit, Geng Zhiyuan led his girlfriend to his dormitory. The environment and hygiene of the single dormitory of the design institute are similar to the dormitory of university men, and the corridor is filled with a faint smell of toilets, which makes people cover their mouths and noses.
Wei Xiao had always been sensitive to smells, so he couldn't smell this stench, so he frowned and covered his mouth and nose and hurried through the corridor, following Geng Zhiyuan to the dormitory at the end of the corridor. Her eyes widened in surprise as soon as she entered, there were only three single beds and a few bedside tables in the large room, and the thermos washbasin and clothes were thrown aside, and the whole room looked disorganized.
In order to greet his girlfriend, Geng Zhiyuan deliberately cleaned the dormitory, and when he saw Wei Xiao's expression, he thought that his girlfriend was dissatisfied, so he quickly explained: "The single dormitory is a little shabby with this condition, anyway, it's just a place to sleep." ”
"Which is your bed?" Wei Xiao asked, glancing at the three beds in the room.
Geng Zhiyuan pointed to his bed and said, "The one against the south wall is." ”
Wei Xiao walked to the side of the bed and touched the somewhat worn sheets, and burst into tears in distress: "You live in this kind of place? The sheets are all torn, and you don't buy a new bed?"
Geng Zhiyuan is used to being thrifty, and said with a smile: "The one I used when I was in college is not broken, and it can still be used." ”
"This is too thin, aren't you cold in winter?" Wei Xiao said as he pinched the quilt again.
"It's not cold! It's heated, it's hot. Geng Zhiyuan hugged her and sat on the edge of the bed and comforted: "I'm just a humble place here, I usually stay in the office, and I only come back when I sleep." ”
"Zhiyuan, it's too hard for you to be here alone......" Wei Xiao realized at this time that it was not easy to wander out alone. Her boyfriend is in a foreign land, far away from her hometown and parents, and she can only rely on her own struggle, plus the man can't take care of herself, which is far more difficult than her hometown town.
"It's okay, I'm used to it, I don't feel bitter. Geng Zhiyuan said softly: "Aren't I in the provincial capital when I go to university? At that time, there were five or six people in a dormitory, but now there are three people in a dormitory, and the conditions are much better." When I earn money to buy a house, I'll take you over. ”
"Don't you have a house in your unit?" Wei Xiao has limited knowledge and has no concept of buying a house, in her consciousness the house should be allocated by the unit for free. Even in the hometown middle school, teachers can get a bungalow as a dormitory after getting married.
Geng Zhiyuan said: "The provincial courtyard has not divided the house for several years, but now we can buy a house with money in the market, so let's just buy it ourselves." ”
"How much does it cost to buy it yourself?" Wei Xiao frowned.
"There are about 1,000 square meters near our hospital, so buy 80 or 90 square meters for about 100,000 yuan. Geng Zhiyuan patiently explained.
"More than 100,000!" Wei Xiao was stunned: "How many teenagers can save it?"
"You can take out a loan!" his girlfriend's face became more and more ugly, and Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly relieved: "The down payment is at least 30%, and we only need to pay 30,000 or 40,000 yuan." ”
"That's a lot. Wei Xiao's heart sank to the bottom.
The glorious Provincial Chemical Design Institute in my mind, but the reality is that it does not even have welfare housing, and it is not as good as the general institutions in Liangcheng. And the boyfriend who once looked up to faded her halo in an instant, and the hopeful future immediately became bleak, and the girl quietly felt a trace of regret in her heart.
Geng Zhiyuan saw Wei Xiao's unhappiness, he scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of better words of comfort, so he had to persuade: "Xiaoxiao, I strive to do more projects and make more money." I made nearly 10,000 yuan in the last six months......"
Wei Xiao was silent. Since she entered the thirtieth middle school, her beautiful and refined face has quickly attracted the attention of all parties, and the intention of introducing the object has come one after another, and some male teachers are ready to move, constantly expressing their good intentions to her, either bright or dark.
And once the once proud boyfriend falls back into reality, ordinary people, he is a little inferior to those young talents introduced by others. She hesitated whether she should break up decisively and find a more suitable happiness for herself while she was young?
His girlfriend's disappointed and cold expression made Geng Zhiyuan uncomfortable and worried, this feeling of a possible breakup was familiar to him, could it be that the love of the vows was about to lose to the cruel reality again?
"Xiaoxiao......" Geng Zhiyuan said only way: "If you are ...... If I don't think it's good here, I'll go back and find a job. ”
"Go back, what good job can you get when you go back?" Wei Xiao pouted, "Won't you go to the county fertilizer factory?"
"I ...... This ......?" Geng Zhiyuan snorted, and he had nothing to say for a while. He had no connections or background, and it was only by chance that he was lucky enough to enter the provincial hospital. In such a place where high-level intellectuals gather, it is definitely an impossible task for him to stand out in a short period of time.
Now he is just an ordinary assistant engineer who can no longer be an ordinary assistant, with neither money nor status, even if he really returns to Liangcheng, it is impossible to find a suitable and good unit immediately. If his girlfriend dislikes him for this, he really has nothing to do.
Both men fell silent, and the room was silent.
In a daze, those beautiful sweet memories of the past quietly surfaced in front of him, and Wei Xiao suddenly had an epiphany: "Zhiyuan is sincere to me, and has defended my innocence several times, and even transferred me back to the city." It is not easy for him to wander the provincial city alone, if I dislike him for having no money and no house and find a new love, I will not only betray love, but also live up to the fate that God has given us both. Since the two of us have promised to never leave each other, I will never do such a careless thing. ”
Thinking of this, Wei Xiao raised his head and glanced at Geng Zhiyuan and said, "Zhiyuan...... Don't be angry with me. I just want to be with you sooner, and I can't even do this, I ...... I really don't know what to do?"
"Xiaoxiao......" Wei Xiao did not turn his face ruthlessly, Geng Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and patiently comforted: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places." The provincial capital is much more developed than ours, and although it is difficult to buy a house here, it is not hopeless. You...... If you are willing to live with me for the rest of your life, I will not let you be wronged. ”
"Hmm......" Wei Xiao had a deep relationship with him after all, and he regretted it a little after making a fuss, leaning on his shoulder and muttering: "I believe in my man! Don't let me down, Zhiyuan!"
"No, I will never let you down!" Geng Zhiyuan secretly made up his mind, desperately trying his best to let Xiaoxiao live a rich life, and never let other girls regret the choice they made in their lives.
The two chattered and talked for a while, Wei Xiao's mood finally returned to normal, and Geng Zhiyuan led her to his office. The office of the design institute is equipped with trendy furniture, air conditioning and heating, and a Pentium computer, which is no less than a modern office environment on a TV series.
The office conditions of the design institute are quite in line with the imagination in his mind, and Wei Xiao's mood has improved again. Geng Zhiyuan turned on the computer and taught Wei Xiao to operate. Wei Xiao used Windows for the first time, and he was a little busy with a sense of novelty and a little bit of a hurry, and it took a while to learn the game of digging mines.
Before I knew it, it was close to ten o'clock, and it was time to lock the door of the office building. Geng Zhiyuan turned off the computer, took Wei Xiaogang out of the office, and met Chen Ying who was walking up the stairs.
Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly greeted: "Sister Chen, are you also working overtime?"
Chen Ying caught a glimpse of the beautiful woman behind Geng Zhiyuan, looked Wei Xiao up and down in surprise, and replied casually: "Ahh
Geng Zhiyuan couldn't hide, so he had to introduce: "This is my girlfriend Wei Xiao!"
Wei Xiaobing was smart, and she smiled and shouted first: "Hello Sister Chen!"
Chen Ying saw that this girl had a beautiful face and a generous demeanor, and secretly compared herself in her heart, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Hello! Such a beautiful girl, Geng Zhiyuan is really blessed." ”
Geng Zhiyuan sensitively heard a hint of jealousy from Chen Ying's words, smiled bitterly and dealt with two sentences, and then led Wei Xiao downstairs in a hurry.
"This Sister Chen of yours is good-looking, with a rod. Wei Xiao originally thought that the design institute was really like what her boyfriend said was all vulgar and ugly female men, but after seeing Chen Ying, she realized that her boyfriend was lying to her, and the places where intellectuals gather should be mostly intellectual beauties full of charm, and she is habitually jealous at the moment.
"She's my senior sister, don't think about it. Geng Zhiyuan has always regarded Chen Ying as a sister, and has never thought about it at all, and he is naturally selfless in front of his girlfriend.
"Hmph!" Wei Xiao twisted Geng Zhiyuan as usual, and warned: "Stay away from her in the future, and don't talk to her." ”
"Okay! good!" Geng Zhiyuan dared to talk back, and hurriedly agreed.
