Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Distant Past
"Liu Lili, don't you have to ask for leave?" In the high-end private room of Urban Holiday, the most upscale hotel in Phoenix, Suzuko said to Liu Lili with a smile that five minutes ago, she had just asked Gu Sheng for leave, and in the video, Liu Lili and Gu Sheng said hello.
"I wish you good friends a happy evening!" Gu Sheng smiled evilly and turned off the video call.
"Your husband is so good!" Liu Lili sighed sincerely.
"So what about you? Do you want to ask for leave? Do you have anyone with your child?" Suzuko made a preliminary judgment, even if she got married as soon as she graduated from college, Liu Lili's child would not be more than ten years old, but she was not in a hurry to ask for leave from her family, and this girl's heart was big enough.
"I've never been married, so I don't have to ask anyone for leave. Liu Lili threw away her bag and collapsed on the wide bed.
"What? Why? You're too high-minded, I don't think you're celibate. Suzuko threw herself next to Liu Lili.
"Alas, it's hard to say," Liu Lili sighed, "isn't that good? ”
"What the hell has happened to you all these years?"
"What the hell has happened to you all these years?"
The two of them said in unison, and then laughed.
"The year you ran away from home, I remember that I was in my third year of high school and had just finished the college entrance examination, right?" Liu Lili preemptively struck.
"I guess, I remember the day before my eighteenth birthday, and it was so hot. Suzuko sighed, "The days have passed so fast, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye." ”
"At that time, you didn't have a computer at home, you didn't even have a Q, and you didn't have a mobile phone, and your parents called the police and the bus station and the train station didn't find the monitoring of you leaving the local area, did you go away?" Liu Lili still can't understand how Suzuko left the county back then.
"Haha, I was in someone else's car. "Suzuko has something impressive, after all, it's not a glorious thing.
"You actually have an accomplice? At that time, it was not ordinary people who had private cars, how did I not know that you had such friends?"
"I met by chance, I begged him to take me away, and I'm going crazy if I don't leave!" Suzuko has been running away from this memory, she hasn't told anyone, and she regrets it.
"I know you did this because your grandmother died unexpectedly, right?" Liu Lili took Suzuko's hand.
"Well, grandma is really wronged, I hate them!" Suzuko couldn't help but clench her fists, after so many years, she still can't forgive her parents.
"Alas, grandma is such a good person, it's really ......" Liu Lili couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It was the summer of 2003, the hottest time of the year, and Suzuko had been working as a temporary worker in a small supermarket at the train station for more than two years.
"Useless things! You can pass high school, how can the recruitment exam become a waste? What are you going to do in the future? Do you want your father and mother to support you for the rest of your life?" Ji Xueying smashed dishes and bowls at home all day long, and Suzu was extremely depressed.
"I might have known that I might have let her go to high school. In addition to sighing, Li Yibai is complaining.
"Hehe! Go to high school? With her grades, do you think she can be admitted to college? Besides, what kind of high school did she go to? The most rubbish high school in the county! Look at Liu Lili, who is admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, a key high school!"
Suzuko couldn't listen anymore, so she opened the door and walked out, if it weren't for the unemployed as a temporary worker and a salary of a few hundred yuan, she wouldn't have survived in this family for a day.
"yes, who is to blame? It's not that I didn't insist at the time, even the worst high school should go to it!"
Suzuko sighed as he walked on the road, not his father Li Yibai guaranteed that he would recruit soon, and with Suzuko's grades, it was absolutely no problem, plus he really had no self-confidence, and he was not confident that he could be admitted to college in three years, and he threw away the opportunity to go to high school in vain.
Liu Lili was admitted to a key high school, but Suzuko tore up the admission letter of an ordinary high school and began to be unemployed on the railway.
After applying for a railway children's unemployment certificate, 16-year-old Suzuko began selling goods in a small supermarket in the waiting room of the train station, and sold goods for more than a year.
In the autumn of the second year, the railway was finally going to recruit workers, Li Yibai jumped up and down excitedly, and went to find his grandfather's apprentice, who has now been promoted to the provincial capital Jinan and has become a big leader.
Li Yibai came to the compound of Jinan with two jars of tempeh and two mentions of wine, and as soon as they met, they frowned, confiscated the things at all, and just told Li Yibai to let the children review the exam well, and didn't say anything else.
Ji Xueying said stupidly at the time that if the gift was confiscated, it would not be possible, and she could only count on this dead girl herself.
Lingzi is naturally a good review, it is not difficult to pick up the books just after a year of putting them down, Ji Xueying also hired a tutor for her for the first time, I heard that only one female worker is accepted among the railway children in this county, Ji Xueying threatened Lingzi with teeth and claws, and let her go to the street to ask for food if she failed the exam.
"Look at what your mother said, if you can't pass the exam and then work as a temporary worker, it's better than going to the street to ask for food. Chen Chunyan muttered behind her back, but after a few years of hard work, the old lady's back was also hunched, and her hair turned gray.
"I'm sure I'll get in. "Suzuko has inquired, there are only six girls who apply for the examination for the nearby railway children, except for two who are older, the rest of the academic performance is not good, and the good ones are preparing to take the university entrance examination, who would want to be a railway worker!
Hard work pays off, to have a formal career is Suzuko's greatest wish, she put all her energy into reviewing homework, even when she goes to work to sell goods, she lies on the counter to write and calculate, and being scolded by passengers is a common thing in those months.
With her own efforts and the help of her tutor, Suzuko was pleasantly surprised to find that she understood a lot of trigonometric functions, which were the most headaches, and she once jokingly said to Liu Lili that it seems that people can learn everything when they are forced to do it.
Finally on the day of the exam, the recruitment exam is actually very simple, only Chinese mathematics and zz, except for the math bell is a little worried, the other two she is sure of.
The math paper is unexpectedly simple, so simple that Suzuko can't believe it, this is simply simpler than the unit exam, Suzu pressed an excited heart, and did every question seriously, until the bell rang at the end of the exam, he reluctantly handed over the paper.
After that, there was a long wait, and when Suzuko was selling goods in the waiting room, she often looked at the staff walking around, and she couldn't help but hope that she would be one of them in a few months.
"Hey, Suzuko, what's going on?" a man knocked on the counter, waking Suzuko from his dream.
"Shi Lao Wu, you scared me!" Suzuko was a little unhappy.
"Hey, little girl, you have to call me brother, is Shi Lao Wu your name?" The person who came was Shi Tao, a male worker at the train station, known as Shi Lao Wu.
