Chapter 35 The Coming Day is Long
When Suzuko opened her eyes, she found that Liu Lili had woken up and was sitting at the head of the bed staring at her.
"Woke up, what did you dream about? Liu Lili smiled.
"I was so excited last night, you drank too much wine and fell asleep quickly, I didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, I was confused until dawn, what time is it? Don't you need to go to work today?" Suzuko rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Are you really sleepy, what class are you going to work on the weekend today?" Liu Lili stretched, "I slept so well with some wine, I slept until nine o'clock, I didn't dare to disturb you when I slept soundly, I endured my rumbling stomach until now, you see it's almost noon." ”
"Oh my god, I slept so hard!" Suzuko got up with a grunt and rushed into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, a delicate girl in high spirits appeared in front of Liu Lili, "Let's go, let's go to dinner, I'm going to visit Aunt Zhang after eating, didn't you say that your mother lived with you last night?"
"Did I say it last night?" Liu Lili was a little surprised.
"Anyway, when you drank too much, you said it all the time, and you complained all the time, saying that Aunt Zhang spies on you every day, and you don't have any freedom at all in your thirties. Suzuko smiled.
"It seems that you can't drink too much wine, and if you talk too much, you will lose it. Liu Lili smiled helplessly, "Let's go, I'll invite you to morning tea." ”
"It's noon and morning tea, do you think it's in the south?" Lingzi sent a voice message to Gu Sheng, saying that He Faxiao didn't stay enough and could only go back at night.
"Tsk, look at how free you are, you can go back when you want, and the children don't have to care, is this considered a leave?" Liu Lili looked envious.
"Don't mention the child, the eldest doesn't let me take care of it, the second child doesn't need me to take care of it, I'm a mother, outsiders look very envious, but I'm actually quite anxious inside. Suzuko shook her head and smiled bitterly.
After checking out, the two of them came to the most lively business district in Phoenix, Liu Lili pointed to a Cantonese restaurant called Zhuangyuanlou and said, "This is it, I don't know if you have eaten?"
"Lao Gu brought me here once, and it tasted good. Suzuko smiled.
"That's it. Liu Lili seems to be a regular customer, as soon as she enters the door, she goes straight to the second floor by the north window, where the scenery is best to see the scenery on both sides of the artificial lake in the north, and it can't be sunburned on a hot day.
"Okay, it looks like you're a regular visitor. "Suzuko is more homely, except for necessary entertainment and business negotiations, she has been staying at home in recent years, and she can't go out of the door unless Gu Sheng pulls her, otherwise she can not go out for a month.
"Well, I only listened to your story yesterday, but I haven't told you about my situation. Liu Lili sighed, ordered a few signature Cantonese dishes, and began to talk.
"Maybe you think that compared with your perennial scolding, I live a heavenly life, indeed, I am indeed happier than you materially, but the spiritual shackles that my parents put on me are no less than yours. Liu Lili pushed a plate of phoenix feet with soy sauce in front of Lingzi, she knew that Lingzi liked to nibble on phoenix feet the most.
"Oh, my favorite!" Suzuko's eyes lit up, and she immediately took a piece with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, "I still remember the tiger skin and phoenix claws I ate at your house, and the taste is simply amazing!"
"If you like it, eat more!" Liu Lili's gaze can be described as spoiled.
"Continuing to talk about you, why didn't you tell me when I was a child?" said Suzuko, gnawing on her phoenix claws.
"As a kid I just felt a little depressed and didn't fully realize the shackles until you left home that year, which was a big deal at the time. Liu Lili recalled.
"Well, in fact, I was a little scared when I thought about it later, but it was more of a release, a feeling of breaking free from the cage. Suzuko said.
"That's the feeling! Break free from the cage!" Liu Lili was a little excited: "At that time, I was shocked and worried about your safety, but my first feeling was that you were liberated." ”
"I'm sorry, I couldn't congratulate you on being admitted to college, I was also sad and angry for a while, thinking that my grandmother died in vain, and I couldn't stay in this house for a day!" Suzuko's hand holding chopsticks trembled slightly.
"I understand, of course I understand, if it was I couldn't forgive them, after you left, I was even more lonely, you don't know, at that time, in order to apply for the college entrance examination, my parents put a lot of pressure on me, they want to call the shots of everything, and I don't even have the right to choose what major to study. Liu Lili's face was full of grief and indignation.
"And what did you go to?"
"The policy of my college entrance examination year was a bit special, at that time I received two notices from universities, one was chosen by my parents for me to be close to home, to be honest, this university ranked high, it is more ideal, but I didn't like the major, so I chose a university in Guangzhou, which is the farthest away from home. ”
"No wonder you're so familiar with Cantonese cuisine, I can figure it out. Suzuko laughed.
"You don't know how fierce my struggle was at that time, I even stood on the top of the three-story building where we lived, and if they didn't let me go to school in Guangzhou, I would have jumped off!"
"Oh my God, you're amazing, aren't you?" said Suzuko, covering her mouth in surprise.
"So I won the struggle, my parents were mad, but there was no way, watching me pull my suitcase and board the train, at that moment I was just like you think, liberated! Completely liberated!" Liu Lili smiled proudly.
"Then you go to university in Guangzhou, do you want to study the major you like? Don't be angry and ruin your future. ”
"It must be, of course, one of the reasons is that you want to stay away from them, you still say me, didn't you run away from home in a moment of anger?" Liu Lili smiled.
"Alas, when I was young, I was impulsive, and sometimes I regretted it when I thought about it, but I didn't regret taking the medicine, so I could only move on. Suzuko's expression was a little gloomy.
"Do you think my mother has a good temper and envies me many times?" Liu Lili put the last spoonful of ginger juice into her mouth and enjoyed it.
"Of course, that's why I don't think you understand how stiff you and your parents are. Suzu picked up a piece of radish cake and let Liu Lili eat it all without starting.
"Since I was a child, my mother told me, you have to study hard, don't be a little clerk like your mother, my dad often said, Lili, you have to fight for breath, the colleagues and children in my father's unit are very promising, don't embarrass your father!" Liu Lili shook her head.
"No wonder you work so hard, it turns out that you really carry a lot of burdens. Suzuko really didn't expect that behind Liu Lili's seemingly glamorous life, there was also an unknown distress.
"Then ...... you" Suzuko just wanted to ask Liu Lili why she hadn't gotten married until now, but Liu Lili's phone rang.
"Mom, I know, I'll go back in a while, and I'm going to take a friend to see you, well, okay. ”
Liu Lili hung up the phone and sighed.
"It's Aunt Zhang, right? You didn't go back all night, so she was worried, right? Is Uncle Liu well?"
"It's a long story, my dad is still in prison, and when you come to my house in a while, you pretend not to know, don't mention it. ”
"Huh?" Suzuko was shocked again.
