Chapter 144: Sunset
When Cheng Ran received a call from Qin Xizhen at home, he was still a little surprised, and said on the phone that Qin Xizhen said that you were there...... Do you have time to come and take a walk, she is calling him from a public phone on Huanhu Road at this time.
I couldn't hear anything from the tone, it was very calm, but Cheng Ran was a little confused, looking at the sky, it seemed that it was about to eat in the afternoon, so he had to say, "When are you going to return to the city from the lake, or find a place to see you in the city?"
As a result, the other end said neatly that she was standing by the lake now, and if you didn't come, I am afraid that I would not be able to see myself in the future.
There was a hint of Qin Xizhen's joke in these words, but Cheng Ran still felt a little abnormal, so he had to say to Xu Lan not to go home for dinner, took the car on Huanhu Road, and got off the station at Wanjiao, and just saw Qin Xizhen standing at the gate of the water school.
This is a water conservancy job by the lake, there is a commissary with a public telephone at the door, Qin Xizhen is holding a lollipop in his mouth, wearing a checked coat, jeans and boots, and his hands are in his pockets, and he is heroic.
When he saw Cheng Ran, he waved his hand, took out a lollipop from his pocket, and asked if you wanted it?
Cheng Ran stared at her and said, I am in a hurry, I am afraid that you are in danger, I made a car for several kilometers, and came here as soon as possible, what are you doing?
Don't be angry, come and touch my sister's head. Qin Xizhen stretched out her hand and rubbed Cheng Ran's soft hair, with a look of pity.
Do you want me to call you another one?" The corners of Cheng Ran's mouth twitched.
And this stunt, call to listen, woo or meow?
Cheng Ran: It's rude!
Qin Xizhen's hands stiffened, but there were many people who had visited her at the water correction door since just now, and she was simply stunned when she saw this scene, thinking that such a beautiful young lady couldn't see that her heart was still very wild......
Later, Cheng Ran's entire right arm was twisted and bruised by Qin Xizhen, and he punched a few times by the way.
Cheng Ran's half arm was numb and painful, and he followed Qin Xizhen on the trail around the lake, with a face flying and wanting to cry without tears, "So...... Is the other party planning to ...... 'unspoken rules' to you?"
Qin Xizhen still told him the ins and outs of what happened in the process, and she sighed, "Why am I telling you this...... In fact, this society is not all of these, there are many good aspects, you must not be negative. ”
It's treating yourself like a child again......
When this kind of thing happened, she was so upset that she naturally couldn't tell her parents to make them worried, but who could she tell a few sisters who were far away? Qin Xizhen didn't want them to know that she resigned and planned to pursue her own path, because if she said it but didn't do it, it was actually a thing that hurt her inner self-esteem. From any point of view, she was the most calm person in the same dormitory back then, she didn't fall behind in a class, every day when she went to class to eat, she went out with her own books or food boxes, and her life was regular, there were not many girls in the conservatory who had a hangover all night and played high outside, and her shoes, socks and clothes were always the one who washed the most diligently, in fact, she unconsciously drove the people in the entire dormitory, and everyone also called together to "learn from Qin Xizhen!" She hopes that after many years, everyone will see each other, and she will still have the calmness of the past, instead of letting them see her powerless side.
counted and counted, but only Cheng Ran was the only one who could speak.
"It's late, you've inspired me, I must study hard, and come out to be a big official in the future, bullying men and women or something......"
Then Cheng Ran's entire left arm was bruised together.
Cheng Ran felt a little aggrieved, "I'll just say that, you started so fast, you treat me as an imaginary enemy...... I haven't done anything yet......"
Qin Xizhen squinted her eyes and looked at her very softly, "What else do you want to do, tell me about it?" Do you like my one......
Cheng Ranyi was stern, "cough cough...... Now is the era of stressing civilization and cultivating new trends and promoting healthy trends in society, how can we have such dirty thoughts!"
Seeing Qin Xizhen's smile and meaningful, Cheng Ran suddenly had a kind of wit to save his life.
The sun shines on the two of them, the city is about to have a wind, and the noisy international tourism festivals and music festivals focus countless pairs of eyes on the outside world, and the heroes will compete here, but for Qin Xizhen, the dream that was originally within reach suddenly became extremely distant.
"What about you, how did you reply to Le Pinghong at that time?"
"I used to respect him, but he has completely become Wang Zhonghua's lobbyist, saying that in fact, this is really embarrassing, but there has never been a favor in vain, only pay to gain, my youth and youth is the biggest capital, Wang Zhonghua actually really likes me, and will never treat me badly in the future...... He was talking to me like that, and I suddenly felt that the kind teacher in front of me was extremely strange, maybe this strange him was the real one I had never known. In fact, he is really thinking about me, but he calculates for me from the gains and losses of extreme interests, what I pay is insignificant, but with Wang Zhonghua, I can get to know the upper echelons of entertainment companies, and there are a lot of opportunities to deal with high-level and professional musicians...... All in all, the harvest was much more than expected. ”
Qin Xizhen paused and said, "Some very important things, he has already put them aside. Maybe people just have to be like him, so that they can live comfortably. ”
Qin Xizhen muttered, "After confirming this, I told Le Pinghong that I had a party at night, and I went to go at twelve o'clock, in order to avoid people's eyes, I went to the hotel at two o'clock in the morning to find Wang Zhonghua. ”
Cheng Ran thought about it and smiled dumbly, "Then you really offended people miserably." ”
Thinking of people like Wang Zhonghua, if they waited until two o'clock in the morning, but no one came left or right, and they knew that they had been tricked, then they didn't know how thunderous and angry they were. But this is Qin Xizhen's character, you make me unhappy, and I will make you unhappy too. Do you lose money moving hamsters?
"It's a pity...... I've been preparing something for a long time...... Suddenly it was like a bubble, poof, so bursting. ”
Qin Xizhen's left hand put the five fingers together, and spread it out again to make a movement. In the end, I opened the bag I was carrying bored, took out my notebook, and flipped through it in my hand.
Cheng Ran spread out his hand, and Qin Xizhen calmly handed it to him this time.
Cheng Ran looked at the content above, the earliest record was ninety-six years, the first expense, bath hot water fee of 0.6 yuan, breakfast and lunch, a total of 5 yuan, sanitary napkins: 5 yuan. Afternoon weight loss apples, 0.3 yuan. Daily living allowance: 3.1 yuan.
There is a payment every day, 3.1 yuan, 7.4 yuan, 8 yuan, 8.3 yuan, 4 yuan...... The cost-of-living surplus is then calculated on a weekly basis.
One item, one pen, more than two years, the notebook is full of such money.
Cheng Ran thought of the notebook that she had glimpsed at Qin Xizhen at that time, and she pulled it back and didn't take care of the cub for him. I thought of her standing in front of the musical instrument store, standing in front of the musical instrument store for a long time. I remembered a lieutenant colonel's band, every time she invited everyone to drink, the band members were enough, but the reason for lacking her own cup was missing.
The money is all a few dollars and a few dollars, saved bit by bit.
Who says she doesn't have a dream? She has been building the path to her dream in this way.
However, the reality is often like this, even if you are exhausted and hoarse with all your might, life may be a wall that you can't hit with a broken head.
......
"It's useless. ”
Qin Xizhen raised his head and said, "I now understand a little bit that my dad is looking forward to me being stable and peaceful, this world has a lot of desires and dark places...... If you want to walk this road, you will have to go through the thorns and bumps on the road, which requires tenacity of will and wisdom to deal with it......"
"Is it better for me to accept the arrangement at home...... Get a stable job and marry someone you don't like but don't hate either...... Living in the mountains and seas is not very stressful, it will be very leisurely, and when I have a child, I will teach him music,"
"Are you willing?"
Qin Xizhen's face was obscure, "Life is like this...... Always accept the unsatisfactory. ”
Cheng Ran pointed to a dike, there was a high ground in that place, and there was a grassy slope on the high ground, "Why don't we go for a walk, who will go up first?"
"Young heart!" Qin Xizhen glanced at him, but did not refuse.
The two began to rush to the embankment, there were thick water pipes on the embankment, Qin Xizhen actually just stretched out his hands, his feet had ballet skills quickly overlapped, and the balance was excellent, as if he was dancing, and when he got there, he laughed heartily at Cheng Ran, who was walking cautiously and clumsily.
Up the hillside along the embankment, there were clusters of rosemary and poppies, and occasionally weeds and streams, babbling and clear.
Going up is climbing the mountain, which is a little difficult, but neither of them seems to have any intention of stopping anyone, and they are competing to climb up. The sun slowly crept down until it reached the highest point of the grassy slope.
The setting sun was only bright and dark, but the city on the edge of the lake in the distance was already showing some bright lights.
The magnificent sunset seems to cover the dark clouds overhead for 8,000 miles and the 100,000 mountains in the distance, and the world is infinitely vast.
And the person standing on the hillside at this moment is so small.
Both men and women were silent.
After a while, Qin Xizhen said, "It's so beautiful...... Many times, I have ridden past the path around the lake below, but I have never been on this hillside to see what life is like. ”
Cheng Ran said, "Every day, life is an epic, the difference is how you look at it. You see it's a pool of stagnant water, it's just confused and bad. If you see it in distress like a trapped beast, then you will have to fight it. You see it is vibrant, so far as the eye can see, it is a blue ocean that soars at will. ”
"How do you know about this place?"
"Because I've been here no less than ten times. ”
"Alone?"
"Any age, any time...... Alone. ”
All the scenes are reflected in Qin Xizhen's big eyes, colorful and magnificent, she looked at Cheng Ran, in fact, she has always felt that the boy next to her is very peculiar, obviously he used to be his own student, even if he is a few years older, he has always regarded him as a child, but occasionally he shows that he is like a mature and stable friend, and even has a perspective on everything and experience. Although I don't want to admit it, my intuition and subconscious are actually discovered in this way.
For example, Cheng Ran at this moment has a bearing that she has never seen before, which is definitely not what his age and experience at this time can show. Qin Xizhen remembers that when she was a senior in her senior year, she went to a small village to volunteer, and a veteran of combat heroes told their students about the days of the year.
Previously, the veteran was incognito, unwilling to reveal his true identity, worked as a worker and a farmer, and was burdened with many old diseases, and only later was found that this figure was enough to be listed on the Wall of Merit. In fact, this veteran was dressed in dark blue earthen cloth clothes, and looked no different from ordinary peasants, and his lungs had been damaged by the smoke of the battlefield and the experience of coal workers, and doctors said that he would not live for more than three years. However, this is such an old man, when he talked about participating in those battles that can only be seen in history books and film and television dramas, he talked about capturing the enemy of the entire bunker with one person, one gun and one grenade, and said that he had seen incendiary bombs pour the entire mountain of North Korea into a furnace, and when he went up to see his comrades-in-arms crying that none of them could recognize, and when he saw the Liaoshen Battle dyeing the earth blood-red, there was a kind of calm that had been polished by the years, as if those things that were earth-shaking for any person were just a scar and the past on him。
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
Although he knew that it was not comparable, Qin Xizhen felt that Cheng Ran gave him a little bit of such a feeling at this time.
Cheng Ran picked up her little account book and said softly, "Actually, you are doing so much just to get that person a song, so why bother." ”
"Me...... Ten songs for you. ”
