Chapter 101: Overjoyed
As she shuffled to the bus stop with heavy steps, she heard a car honking behind her. [No pop-ups.]
Tian Tian couldn't help but look back curiously, but it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, she was stunned when she saw Ouyang Kunpeng poking his head out of the car window and waving his hand at her.
Strange, I remember that I didn't call him to pick up the car at all!
"Tian Tian, get in the car!"
Seeing that Tian Tian saw him, Ouyang Kunpeng hurriedly greeted him happily.
"Brother Kunpeng, why are you?"
Tian Tian, who was excited, approached the car, really surprised and delighted.
She put her luggage in the trunk and stepped into the passenger seat.
"Thanks! But I didn't seem to tell you what time I was on the train today?"
"I, I'm clever. ”
"Really, then you can become a 'great immortal'. ”
"Actually, I found it online. According to the inquiry, there are a total of five buses passing through your G city, but three of them are in the middle of the night and early in the morning, and one is at half past seven in the morning.
"I remember you said that your house is about 200 kilometers away from the city, so I don't think you can get up in the middle of the night to catch this train. Besides, it's too early and there's no bus. So I think you must have taken that afternoon train. ”
"Well, you're pretty good at logical reasoning, I think, you can be a detective! ”
"Yes, when I waited left and right and didn't see the train arrive, I asked the staff, and I learned that it would be two hours late, so I went back again. Now, this is the second time I've been here today. ”
"Thank you, you've worked hard!"
Tian Tian is infinitely grateful.
Ouyang Kunpeng put his hand on the back of Tian Tian's hand and was about to say something, however, a rapid horn sounded behind him, and he had no choice but to drive away.
"Are you hungry? I'll pick you up. ”
"This ...... Oh well!"
Tian Tian replied a little reluctantly.
In fact, she would rather go back to the dormitory to rest and have a casual pho or fast food.
However, seeing Ouyang Kunpeng's sincere and enthusiastic look, Tian Tian didn't want to disappoint him.
Ouyang Kunpeng drove the car to the old place, Tian Tian's favorite restaurant.
After ordering the dishes, he closed the menu, looked up at Tian Tian, who looked tired and asked, "You must be very tired after taking the train for so long, right?"
"Can you not be tired? I stood for hours without a seat, feeling like my foot was going to break, and I wanted to soak in hot water. ”
"You're so stupid! Why don't you buy a sleeper? Sleeping in a sleeper is a hundred thousand times better than standing. ”
"Who is more stupid? There are no seat tickets, will there be sleepers? Because it's a passing car, there are no tickets at all, right? I think, you haven't been on a train for a long time, right? So, it's only a matter of luck, after getting on the train, if there is a vacant seat, you can sit, if there is none, just stand. ”
"That's it!"
After a while, Ouyang Kunpeng held Tian Tian's hand that was originally placed on the table, and said with a solemn expression: "You know, these days, I miss you very much, and I am very worried about you!"
"Worry about me? But what do I have to worry about? There is no riot in my hometown, it is quiet and peaceful. ”
"You really don't know what I'm worried about?"
"I don't know. ”
Tian Tian shook his head blankly.
"I'm afraid you're not coming back. ”
"Why?"
"What if you marry someone else back home?"
"Uh, my gosh, you're worried about that, but it's not unreasonable, you know? There was a lot of people coming to my house to talk about matchmaking, and in the drawer of my room there were a lot of pictures of young men sent by matchmakers. ”
"Really?"
Ouyang Kunpeng smiled.
"For an interview, are you nervous right now?"
Ouyang Kunpeng glanced at Tian Tian quickly, pretending to smile calmly.
"Even though you are silent, I can feel your heart pounding. Because, your micro-expressions tell me. Your stiff smile is just to hide the uneasiness in your heart. Isn't it?"
"However, I told my mom that I didn't want to marry myself off so early. Because, marriage and family will destroy every woman with lofty ideals and ambitions. Giving birth to a baby, raising a baby, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea...... These things will ruthlessly imprison and erode women, and even the most beautiful woman will be weathered into an unsightly yellow-faced woman.
"Marriage is like the rope that binds the eagle's feet, and it cannot escape from the circle with the length of the rope as its radius. As a result, there will be no freedom, no gain, and no happiness.
However, the saddest thing is that in the eyes of many people, it seems that the only mission of a woman is to give and sacrifice. For example, unconditionally marrying and having children in the best years, breastfeeding and raising children, serving in-laws, and serving as free servants for the in-laws family, are not allowed to be angry when they are unfair...... Of course, if there is a husband who cherishes him, it is very good, but if he is a foolish and filial son who puts his parents and family first, a fool who does not know right and wrong, who does not distinguish between good and bad, who does not distinguish between good and evil, and who is a typical machismo, it will be miserable.
"Seriously, I really want to never get married and have children for the rest of my life, and just grow old until I die. It is true that perhaps, when you are old in the future, you will be a little lonely, but at least you have dignity and live with dignity.
"How good it is to make your own money and spend it yourself! And when you are tired and exhausted every day for your children, the elderly, and that family, your mother-in-law, your father-in-law, and your husband, when they have a conflict with you, point at your nose and insult you, 'You eat me, use me, live with me, you are a parasite!'
"No matter how good you are at doing housework, no one will see it, and even if you do, you will take it for granted that it is what you should do. However, when you go to work, you work for eight hours, you get paid for eight hours, and if you work for sixteen hours, you get paid for sixteen hours, and it has a certain value, so you have a sense of achievement.
"But when I work hard, can't be recognized, and is complained about for no reason, how can I be embarrassed?
"I think women are really pitiful, she has been silently dedicated for marriage and family, but she is not recognized. ”
"Oh, you're so talkative! You have said so much in one breath, your opinions are very original, it seems that you are a woman who is uneasy with the status quo and does not want to be mediocre. However, I was surprised that these words came from an unmarried young woman. ”
The corners of Tian Tian's mouth moved, as if he was smiling.
"I haven't been back for so many years, are you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy!"
"Is everyone in the family okay?"
"Well, it's fine. My sisters have grown taller. Tian Tian, who was still smiling just now, suddenly sank his face and said, "It's just that my grandma is gone." ”
"Uh, when was that?"
After hearing this, Ouyang Kunpeng also asked with round eyes in surprise.
In an instant, Tian Tian's tears burst out of his eyes, and he choked up: "A few months ago." ”
"Brother Kunpeng, I don't have a grandmother now, what should I do? I will never see my grandmother again, and I don't have my grandmother's love anymore. ”
Seeing Tian Tiansheng's pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, Ouyang Kunpeng immediately went over and hugged her into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, there's me. ”
He lowered his head to comfort Tian Tian and handed her a tissue.
"Tian Tian, I understand your feelings very well now, after all, that is the grandmother who loves you the most, besides, you have had a good relationship with your grandmother since you were a child. However, human life and death, like a grass that grows and withers at one year, is an inescapable law of nature. Someday, our loved ones will leave us one after another, so don't be too sad. ”
However, Ouyang Kunpeng didn't say that it was okay, when he said this, Tian Tian cried even more sadly.
Seeing this, he was in a hurry.
The waiter came over with the dishes, and he whispered in Tian Tian's ear: "Someone is coming!"
Hearing this, Tian Tian slowly stopped crying, and cautiously glanced at the waiter who served the food.
Then, she stood up and hurried to the toilet. Perhaps, she is going to wash her crying face.
As the saying goes, you don't choose to eat when you're hungry, not to mention the delicious food you like to eat.
So, Tian Tian ate it with relish.
After eating, Ouyang Kunpeng drove Tian Tian back to the apartment.
"Brother Kunpeng, I've made you break the bank again. ”
Tian Tian felt a little guilty.
"Hey, that's so out-of-the-box!
"Delicious. ”
Looking out the window, the neon flickering and people come and go.
Tian Tian couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion: "This is the difference between the city and the countryside, look, the night lights here are bright, dazzling, and lively, and the night in our hometown is one color, which is black." I can't see my fingers on the mountain road. ”
"How to say it, the city has the convenience of the city, and the countryside has the simplicity of the countryside. ”
"Well, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. When the rain passes, the white mist on the mountainside is enchanting, and it really looks like a fairyland. It would be nice to have a camera. I'm going to take a picture of it. ”
"Why don't you bring my camera back?"
"Isn't that unexpected?"
"The next time I go back, I'll bring my camera with me. ”
"Definitely. ”
Tian Tian thought for a while, and said excitedly, "Brother Kunpeng, do you know who I met when I went back this time?"
"Who?"
"My first-grade teacher taught us Chinese. ”
"Really, male or female?"
"Male. ”
"And does he still recognize you?"
"I don't recognize it. After all, I haven't seen each other for more than a decade. That day, on the street, he came up to me, and I stopped him. He paused for a moment, then put his hand on the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked me up and down.
"Asked, 'Are you ......?' I said, 'Teacher Li, I'm Shen Tiantian, have you forgotten?' It seems that he still hasn't remembered. So I reminded him, 'Teacher, do you remember? ’
When he said this, it immediately dawned on him. So, he burst out laughing. Then, I kept saying, 'It's so tall, it's so good-looking, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!' and finally the teacher asked me how I was doing. ”
"Hasn't that teacher changed?"
"There are no particularly noticeable changes, nothing more than more emaciated and older. ”
