Today is the happiest day in recent months, Zhang Li is so happy that she can't even sleep, after getting off work, she went to the vegetable market to buy side dishes, and also bought a case of beer, she wants to wait for Lu Shanmin and Huangmei to come back, everyone celebrates.

For Huangmei's matter, although Chen Kun was guilty, but today the matter was finally resolved, he was also happy from the bottom of his heart, although Zhang Li still didn't give him a good look, he still went to buy some snacks and came back, and waited with Zhang Li for Lu Shanmin and Huangmei.

waited until one o'clock in the morning to hear the sound of the door opening, and when the key opened the door, Zhang Li had already rushed up and opened the door.

She was wondering how Lu Shanmin came back with Huang Mei so coincidentally, and couldn't help frowning when she saw Lu Shanmin's numb expression, the bulging money bag in his hand, and the faint tears on Huang Mei's face.

"Come in and talk about it".

Letting go of the two, Lu Shanmin sat straight on the sofa, and Huang Mei walked directly into the bedroom.

Zhang Li and Chen Kun were very puzzled and didn't know what was going on.

Zhang Li looked at the bulging money bag in Lu Shanmin's hand, "What's the matter?"

Lu Shanmin sat there stunned and didn't say a word. I have known Lu Shanmin for so long, even if the contractor ran away with the money, I didn't see Lu Shanmin so depressed. Once again, he anxiously asked, "What's wrong?"

The bedroom door opened, Huang Mei walked out with her suitcase, looked at the three of them, and her eyes were red again. There are a thousand words in my heart, but I don't know how to speak.

"Lili, I'm leaving".

Zhang Li opened her mouth wide in surprise, got up and grabbed Huang Mei's hand, "Huang Mei, what are you doing here?"

Lu Shanmin knew that when something like this happened, Huang Mei couldn't continue to stay, although she thought that her behavior was not wrong, but she also knew that she couldn't face Lu Shanmin next, let alone Zhang Li. It's a relief for everyone.

Lu Shanmin lowered his head and said in a firm tone, "Let her go."

Zhang Li turned her head to look at Lu Shanmin in disbelief, she had never seen him speak to herself in such a firm tone since she had known Lu Shanmin for so long, that tone was like the head of the family making a final decision, and it was also like an unquestionable order, and her hand unconsciously loosened.

Huang Mei's tears poured out like a, and she cried out, hugged Zhang Li, and her voice was choked, "Lili, you will always be my good sister." After speaking, he walked out of the door without looking back. It wasn't until the door slammed shut that Zhang Li came back to her senses, her eyes were already slightly red, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. Sisters of four years, the university is the same dormitory bunk, to the East China Sea is the same bed for a few months, eat and live together, support each other. I thought of helping each other in the same boat, but I didn't expect it to be such a bleak parting.

That's where the turmoil of life lies, and you can never predict where it begins, let alone where it ends. Thinking back to a few months ago, I just walked out of the mountains, but I didn't expect to meet Huangmei, who was under the same roof for a few months, which was not a blind date and love, but at least it was also a sharing of weal and woe, and I didn't expect to be separated so soon.

When Zhang Li learned the ins and outs of the whole thing, she didn't speak for a long time. In the four years of college, Zhang Li knew Huang Mei very well and knew that she was a girl who loved vanity, but she didn't think it was wrong. It's just that after so many years of friendship, it will be scattered, and it is inevitable that I will feel melancholy in my heart, Lu Shanmin is right, Huang Mei should be allowed to go, go, and I can still hide and retain that friendship in my heart, if I stay, how should we face it.

Seeing that Zhang Li didn't speak for a long time, Chen Kun thought that she wouldn't be able to think about it, although she knew that Zhang Li didn't like to listen to what she said now, she still mustered up the courage to comfort her, "Lili, Huangmei is willing to fall, you don't have to be too sad."

Although Zhang Li is a strong person who thinks through problems, but when her good friend has such a thing, the pain in her heart is not so easy to dissipate, plus she is already angry with Chen Kun, this sentence of self-depravity is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Zhang Li raised her head and looked at Chen Kun coldly, "You shut up for me, Huang Mei is your classmate and friend, do you still have a conscience?"

Chen Kun was speechless when he was scolded, stunned on the spot, smiled bitterly, and turned around and walked towards his bedroom.

In the living room, Lu Shanmin and Zhang Li were left sitting opposite each other, silent.

After a long time, Lu Shanmin broke the gloomy atmosphere. "Sister Li, there is no feast in the world."

Zhang Li sighed, "In the past two months, Huang Mei has been full of alcohol every night, and she only goes home in the middle of the night, how can there be a hotel account manager who is like this every day, in fact, I should have discovered her abnormality a long time ago, if I could have cared more about her, maybe I wouldn't have come to this point."

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I persuaded her on the way back, as she said, she is different from us."

Zhang Li smiled bitterly, wiped the tears on her cheeks with both hands, and said with a smile, "Everyone has their own ambitions, our life can't tolerate our sadness, we still have to eat, and we still have to walk."

Lu Shanmin pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded. Among all the girls I know, Zhang Li is undoubtedly the strongest one, she can always calm her emotions quickly without being comforted and enlightened by others.

Lu Shanmin diverted the topic and took out the 10,000 yuan given by Zhang Li from the bag and returned it to her. chatted about Zhang Li's recent work, and Zhang Li knew that Lu Shanmin wanted to change the topic and comfort her in disguise. In fact, without Lu Shanmin's comfort, she has long been accustomed to bearing all kinds of blows, just like she said. 'They still have to eat, they still have to walk, and they can't be allowed to be sad'.

"Mountain people, what are you going to do next?"

"Uncle Dali told me yesterday that he took another job and started work next Monday."

Zhang Li frowned, "What do you think?"

"The work on the construction site also costs some effort, I don't have anything else, the strength is still quite sufficient, and I still earn a lot, Uncle Dali also said that he will hand over my craft, learn for a year and a half, maybe I can become a 'master' like him, and the income will be higher."

Zhang Li nodded, and said earnestly: "Shanmin, I am a few years older than you, and I am a fellow villager, I want to talk to you as a sister, don't you suggest?"

Lu Shanmin didn't understand why Zhang Li spoke to herself so formally, and when he heard her compare herself to her sister, a warmth welled up in his heart. "Sister Li, thank you."

"Mountain people, we've known each other for several months, and during this time, we were ostensibly taking care of you, but in fact you have gradually become the backbone of this family. I don't think Chen Kun and Huang Mei have the same opinion of you, I don't think you are an ordinary mountain dweller, and I even have a hunch that you will make us look up to you in the near future."

Lu Shanmin looked at Zhang Li in surprise, he didn't expect Zhang Li to have such a high opinion of himself, Zhang Li is a genuine undergraduate, higher than the college student of the financial college outside the alley, and he is just a mountain citizen who graduated from primary school.

Seeing Lu Shanmin's incredulous face, Zhang Li continued: "College is just four more years of study in school, there are many four years in life, as long as you catch up, why can't you catch up with those four years, not to mention, many things are not necessarily only learned in college."

"You're careful enough, we didn't find out how we lost the bag on the train, you did. You are brave enough, whether it is in the face of Chen Kun's cousin's aggressiveness or Chen Ran's domineering, you can stand up. You are confident enough, the three of us will more or less feel hesitant and inferior because we come from a small city, but you don't mind being a mountain person. You are persistent enough, you can practice calligraphy for more than ten years, and you can calm down and persist in such an environment, which is something we can't do."

Lu Shanmin looked at Zhang Li blankly, he had always been doing what he thought he should do, and he didn't expect that in Zhang Li's eyes, he would have so many advantages.

Zhang Li smiled and said: "What you lack is just that you don't know enough about this world and the people in this world."

Lu Shanmin smiled and shook his head, "Sister Li, you have won the award, what you said may be right, but I am still a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school, and I don't know anything except for barbecue and brute strength."

"So I think you should have a long-term plan"

"Long-term planning"? Lu Shanmin looked at Zhang Li in puzzlement.

Zhang Li nodded, "Now you and I have more than 10,000 yuan in our hands to spare, and we don't have to worry about eating and sleeping like before." You are only twenty years old, at this age, many people are still in school, I think you should take advantage of your youth, seize the time to learn more things, work on the construction site will indeed have a good income in the short term, but you should not only care about the immediate gains and losses, when is it not too late to earn money. ”

As a villager who graduated from elementary school, I have long been solidified in learning this matter to go to elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. I never thought I would be able to learn something now.

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, Zhang Li just said that she was confident enough and didn't mind the identity of the mountain people, but in fact, she was not completely right. Since Bai Ling was admitted to university, in the face of the word university, Lu Shanmin not only looked up to it, but also was a little afraid to approach. For him, the university is undoubtedly full of lofty mysteries.

"Sister Li, then what should I learn"?

Zhang Li looked at Lu Shanmin lightly, "Then what are you interested in?"

Lu Shanmin lowered his head and pondered, growing up in the mountains, he could only hunt since he was a child, in addition to practicing calligraphy and being rolled out of dumplings by Lao Huang, he also read his grandfather's four books and five classics, and he had been in the mountains for so many years, except for being interested in Bai Ling, he really couldn't remember anything else that interested him.

Lu Shanmin shook his head in frustration, "I don't have anything I'm interested in."

Zhang Li smiled and said comfortingly: "It's okay, you think about it carefully, and tell me when you think about it, I still have more experience in learning."

Lu Shanmin raised his head, "Sister Li, what do you say is taught in Tunghai University?"

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Lu Shanmin to mention the highest university in Donghai as soon as she opened her mouth, "I don't know what exactly it teaches, but Tunghai University is a comprehensive university with many disciplines, such as medicine, law, economics, biology, computer science, environmental science, and so on."

Lu Shanmin opened his mouth wide, patted his head, and sighed, these things Zhang Li said, except for medicine, which sounds like studying medicine, I can't understand anything else.

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Thank you, Sister Li, I will consider your suggestion very carefully."
