Chapter 16: The Beauty of Being Remembered
When a woman relies on her own ability and confidence to create her own wealth, what she is most afraid of is to meet love.
Especially the young, beautiful, poor women, who have no capital to fall in love at all, but they always inevitably meet all kinds of strange suitors.
Wang Ruolei's first suitor was Aunt Xiaoqing's son.
Aunt Xiaoqing's son is called Li Yunzhe, one meter eight tall, white in appearance, although he is not very handsome, but he is also a sign of the young man. It's a pity that Jin Yu is ruined on the outside, and he is completely a dou who can't be picked up in his bones.
The Li family was a capitalist in Shanghai before the liberation, and by the time Li Yunzhe's grandfather's generation began to decline, if Li Yunzhe was most like whom, it must be his grandfather.
Li Yunzhe's grandfather was a son-in-law, and he was also a well-known eater, drinker and merryholder in Shanghai before liberation.
Later, when the family was in the middle of the road, and after the liberation, when a large-scale socialist transformation of capitalist industry and commerce was launched throughout the country, he was the first to donate his family's declining assets and mansions to the state.
Therefore, Li Yunzhe's grandfather got a boiler job in the government, although this job was inconspicuous, it was a formal job, and the state also gave him this small house.
Li Yunzhe's grandfather didn't expect that there would be three generations in this house, and the family was worse than the next, and he didn't see a day when his grandson was out of sight when he closed his eyes.
Li Yunzhe's grandfather often told him about the rich life of his family living in the mansion when he was young, and this enlightenment education made Li Yunzhe feel that he should be like his grandfather and be a son-in-law.
It's a pity that Li Yunzhe's father is worse than his grandfather, and he doesn't even have a job, so it can be said that he didn't create anything for his son Li Yunzhe except for his Shanghai hukou and a good skin.
Li Yunzhe's father has never been able to find any serious work, and later he can only rely on the subsistence allowance and his wife to make a living.
Li Yunzhe grew up in this decadent atmosphere since he was a child, and he also developed the habit of seeing his hands and being low.
Later, my grandfather passed away, leaving my grandmother, who was illiterate and had no retirement salary, to live with the family of three. A family of four is crammed into this house of more than ten square meters, and it is more than ten years to make do.
Aunt Xiaoqing is looking forward to the demolition every day, but the housing prices in Puxi are expensive, and the demolition is always demolished to generally encounter nail households, so the demolition has not been demolished to their house today. Aunt Xiaoqing is looking forward to her son's marriage, if she can implement the house, it can be regarded as solving a big problem for herself.
Aunt Xiaoqing is not from Shanghai, she came to Shanghai from Henan to work, and she suffered a lot because she did not have a Shanghai hukou. Later, after being introduced, he married Li Yunzhe's father, who had no job but was an old Shanghainese, and was married for more than ten years, before he solved the matter of settling down.
When Aunt Xiaoqing was young, she was looking forward to having a Shanghai hukou, but now that she has a hukou, she hopes that the old and dilapidated house at home can be demolished as soon as possible. Looking forward to it, a lot of white hair crept out of his head.
After dinner, Aunt Xiaoqing whispered to Li Yunzhe's father beside her: "Have you noticed that your son has not gone out to gamble for the past two days and stays at home every day?"
Li Yunzhe's father heard his wife say this, but it was really like this, and asked a little anxiously: "Son, is this something unhappy outside?"
Aunt Xiaoqing felt angry, and for the reason she understood, her wife didn't see it: "You person, how can I say hello to you?
Li Yunzhe's father was washing the dishes, thinking and muttering to himself: "Change? Except for one more person living in, there is no change." ”
Aunt Xiaoqing leaned into her wife's ear and said in a low voice: "Yes, it was the girl in the attic upstairs who made the family change." Our son likes her. ”
"Huh?" Li Yunzhe's father almost dropped the bowl in his hand and asked, "How do you know?"
Aunt Xiaoqing looked shrewd, and continued arrogantly: "Didn't you see the way our son looked at that girl yesterday, the same way you looked at me when you were young. As long as the girl didn't go out in the past two days, she went to the stall in the second half of the night last night to help me and Xiaolei. ”
Li Yunzhe's father also has a lot of complaints about his son's non-object. Listening to his wife say this now, looking back on his son, it was a bit abnormal in the past two days, but the girl in the attic was indeed quite beautiful, and he asked a little worriedly: "Do you say that this girl upstairs can take a fancy to my son?"
Aunt Xiaoqing said confidently: "I could take a fancy to you back then, why didn't she look down on my son?"
The conversation between the old couple fell into the ears of his son Li Yunzhe word for word, and he listened to his mother say that he was so confident, and his hanging heart fell down. The one who understands her son's heart is really the mother, at least the mother is on her side and will help herself.
Li Yunzhe fell asleep happily in his heart, he set an alarm clock for the middle of the night, and asked him to accompany Wang Ruolei to set up a stall later.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Ruolei was lying in her small attic and opened her eyes. After a day's sleep, she was finally refreshed.
Wang Ruolei is now accustomed to the life of day and night upside down, she likes this small attic, it is really much more comfortable than sleeping in an Internet café before.
Wang Ruolei was lying on her small bed, reluctant to get up, she wanted to enjoy the feeling of lying on the bed again. She thought back to the more than a month she had been working alone in Shanghai, although it was hard, but every penny she earned was her own, and this feeling was probably called "steadfastness".
Wang Ruolei took out her pockets, and the more than 200 yuan she earned last night, large and small, are stacked together neatly. Because she slept in her pocket all night, now the money is stained with her body temperature, and it is hot.
She unfolded the money and sniffed it, and took a look, she didn't expect that there were so many more than two hundred yuan in change, and she took the money she earned, and her heart was like having a bottom, and she was down-to-earth.
Recently, during the November Golden Week, business was particularly good at night, if you can earn a few hundred yuan every night, then you can earn thousands of dollars a month. Wang Ruolei secretly laughed when she thought so, she felt that she was really going to be bitter.
Wang Ruolei thought of this, and couldn't wait to rush to the night market to do business immediately.
Wang Ruolei saw that the time was almost ten o'clock, so she hurriedly got up and dressed, today Aunt Xiaoqing prepared a beautiful dress for her, pure white base, and all kinds of faint flowers on the skirt, wearing it like a little princess in a fairy tale.
On the first day Wang Ruolei moved to this small attic, Aunt Xiaoqing put this big fitting mirror on the wall for her, although it was a very ordinary mirror, it was pasted with beautiful edges, and Wang Ruolei understood that this mirror was specially used for her to try on clothes.
Wang Ruolei looked at herself in the mirror, she agreed with the sentence "people rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles" for the first time, and she is really beautiful when she wears such a princess dress. Why didn't she discover her beauty at all in her hometown before?
The first time she realized her beauty was at the night market in Shanghai, when she heard Aunt Xiaoqing praise her beauty and let her wear new clothes as a model. The return rate every night has brought a lot of income to both herself and Aunt Xiaoqing, which has given Wang Ruolei a new understanding of her beauty and a lot more confidence.
Wang Ruolei had an idea from that time, if she was not born in such a family, if her parents worked hard to cultivate herself, then with her appearance, she might be able to be a star. Thinking of this, she felt a little more resentful of her parents.
