Chapter 254: Brother and Boyfriend
Ten years later, at least after becoming a comfortable and mature social person, Jolene couldn't figure out how she would sit on the side of the road and cry for so long on the night she lost her phone ten years ago.
A mobile phone that has been used for a year and a half may be worth two or three hundred yuan on the second-hand market. But for the student party at that time, two or three hundred was also a lot of money, at least she could eat in the school cafeteria for a week, which was enough for her to buy half a year's "Sports Weekly".
A week's meal was gone, and half a year's "Sports Weekly" flew away, she was anxious and angry, crying non-stop.
In fact, she didn't cry at the beginning, at least she went after the thief. When she was about to get out of the car, she was still intoxicated by the love story of Mars and the moon, and after a bustling rush of getting out of the car, she found that all that was left was the earphone cable in her ear.
She identified a suspect, and this time she didn't coax her, but chased after her. The man was not tall, wearing a tracksuit and not carrying any bags. Jolene grabbed his clothes, and he turned around, a very young face, not like a student, not like a manual worker.
"What are you doing?"
"You, did you steal my phone?"
"Nervous!" the man said simply, continuing to put his hands in his pockets, and turned to leave.
Jolene didn't give up, blocking his way: "You have a lot of bulging in your trouser pocket, can you take it out and show me?"
"Why should I show you? Are you a policeman? Who are you qualified to search me?"
The man nudged her, and Jolene hadn't eaten for today's show, and was a little hypoglycemic, and he pushed her to the ground all at once. The man just gave her a blank look and walked away.
With her telepathy with Pink's (her phone), she was sure it was on the man. She stood up, patted the dust off her buttocks, and continued to chase after her. As a result, the man got into the subway station and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
So, Jolene cried on the side of the street for a long time. She has a scholarship, she also goes out to work part-time, and her parents give her living expenses, but she is still living tightly. Because she applied for a double degree in management this semester, as for this tuition, she was very proud to use the money she earned to solve it, and did not let her parents spend money. Therefore, she really doesn't have any savings on her, and the thought of asking her parents for money to buy a mobile phone makes her feel very uncomfortable.
If you want to talk about the knots between her parents, Qiao Lin also has it in her heart, that is, as long as she asks her parents for money, she will automatically remember the day when she was fitted with contact lenses, she completely broke her father's heart that day, and she was sad for a long time.
So, although her mother is now a tigress, when she wants to buy something, Jolene still wants to tell her mother. She originally thought that her mother would be furious and scolded her for being careless, but her mother just sighed and said: "If you lose it, you will lose it, buy a new one, and be careful everywhere you go." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Don't be sad, I'll transfer you a thousand yuan tomorrow, and I'll buy my phone first." ”
"Hmmm......"
Li Lanzhi remembered one thing, she told her daughter that she had transferred 2,000 yuan to Qiao Nan to buy a mobile phone. She was afraid that her daughter would have an idea, so she said: "At that time, your father and I both felt that we had never bought toys for your brother or anything valuable, and we had always felt quite guilty. He's working now, and he's an officer, and I want him to use something good, at least don't take it out too shabby, so give him a little more money. You're still a student, you still have to work hard and simple, just use an ordinary one, and I'll buy you a good one when I'm working. ”
"You don't have to tell me that, I know it. ”
Jolene was pleasantly surprised by her mother's willingness to allocate money, she knew that her parents would not be partial, so she never cared about these little things between siblings.
Speaking of hard and simple, she still remembers her brother's old antique Nokia, and she used to laugh at her brother for not taking his mobile phone from the Nokia Museum. She originally thought that her brother liked to tinker with electronic products, and after work, he would definitely buy the best. It turned out that this was not the case, and my brother never used the best, nor did he spend much money on electronics.
Thinking of this, Jolene didn't care even more. She won't compare herself with others, just have a mobile phone.
Before going to bed, Murong called out to her and said to her, "Hey, your boyfriend has sent a message, and he will take you to buy a mobile phone tomorrow morning." ”
"Got it!"
Although the phone was lost, Jolene was no longer depressed. What she didn't know was that her parents, who were thousands of miles away, had other things on their minds.
The daughter lost her mobile phone, cried outside for a long time on a cold day, and asked her family for money to buy a mobile phone, but she didn't dare to say anything, maybe because she was afraid of being reprimanded by her parents, or maybe she was reluctant to spend money.
If they were Min Rou and Min Jia, they would definitely not be like her. In the final analysis, it was the poorest years in the family that made her too sensitive and sensible.
Li Lanzhi thought to herself that when she was young, she wanted to raise her daughters well and not let them suffer a little grievance. As a result, in the end, the two daughters still suffered a lot and never been rich. Otherwise, it's just an old mobile phone, how can the little daughter be heartbroken and so cautious?
Again, parents always feel more guilty about their children than they imagined!
The next morning, Qiao Lin had no classes, and Sun Ruiyang came to her early in the morning to take her to Zhongguancun to buy a mobile phone. At breakfast, Jolene told him how she had lost her phone, and emphasized that "hey! I've chased the thief all the way!"
When Sun Ruiyang heard this, instead of praising her, he twisted his brows into a pimple: "You, you! What can you do in front of such a crazy person? What if he has a knife on him? What if he covers your nose with a handkerchief? You are also fateful, and you can still sit opposite me now." If I'm unlucky, I don't know which ravine I've been sold to!"
Jolene blinked, and when she thought about it, she was indeed a little afraid. When Sun Ruiyang saw her look, he knew what she was thinking, so he said: "It's just a mobile phone, it's not worth your risk." If something like this happens in the future, the past will be over, and people will be fine, you know?"
"Hmm. ”
In the final analysis, I still take these things too seriously, and I feel that it is a pity to lose them. If I work in the future, it won't be like this, right?
Ten years later, Jolene would like to travel back to that winter night in 2009, hug herself on the side of the road and cry bitterly, and comfort her little sister with a worn-out mobile phone, which is really not a big deal. You don't have to cry so much, you don't have to be afraid to tell your parents, and you don't have to fight with thieves.
Having said that, that day, Sun Ruiyang took her to buy a new mobile phone, and Qiao Lin was optimistic about a Samsung slider, but it was a bit over the budget, more than 1,200, she looked at it for a long time, and finally put it down.
Sun Ruiyang did not hesitate to give the card to the clerk and asked them to settle the bill. Jolene hurriedly took out her purse and said, "My mother sent me money, I can't let you buy such a valuable thing." ”
"Huh. Sun Ruiyang looked arrogant, like those domineering presidents on TV: "I can still afford this money." ”
"That's not good, you're just a college student, and you don't have that much money!"
During the pull, the clerk had already settled the account and returned the card to Sun Ruiyang. He hugged his girlfriend very domineeringly and said, "Although I am a poor student, I can still do something for you, a little more than you think." ”
......
Jolene's heart was sweet, but she was soon overshadowed by a cloud of melancholy.
Sun Ruiyang pulled the corners of her mouth to the sides and helped her make a smile: "Hey, your Qiao family is good at everything, it's just too much! Qiao Lin, I'm no one else, I'm your boyfriend now, and I'll be your husband in the future." The rest of our lives will be spent together. So, if you have any problems, you have to find me as soon as possible, and let me help you solve it, instead of looking for your mother's family, you know?"
Even though he was full of fools, Jolene was still teary-eyed by him. Two blushes flew over her face, and she said in a low voice: "Hmph, buy a mobile phone, you dare to talk nonsense, I'll sue!"
Sun Ruiyang looked at her back and said with a smile: "Why are you so cute? Every time I look at it, I feel more cute than last time." ”
On the subway, Jolene played with her new phone and sent messages to her family. As soon as the message was sent, Qiao Nan's phone immediately called: "I bought it so quickly, and I wasn't deceived?"
"How could it be?" Sun Ruiyang bought it for me, and he asked very carefully. ”
"Oh...... How much did it cost? Do you have enough money?"
Qiao Lin didn't lie, and said honestly: "More than 1,200, Sun Ruiyang bought it for me?"
"What?!" Qiao Nan turned into an atomic bomb again, which made Qiao Lin's ears buzz: "How long have you been dating him, let him buy such expensive things? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to raise your head in front of him? He spends so much money, you don't have the confidence to quarrel with him in the future." More than 1,000 yuan, I'll call you, this money shouldn't be spent by him, do you understand?"
"I understand, but ......"
Before Qiao Lin finished speaking, the mobile phone was snatched away by Sun Ruiyang, and the two men confronted each other across the phone for a while, but Sun Ruiyang broke the silence first: "Brother, now that I am her boyfriend, I have the right to buy her things." ”
“...... You're also a poor student, where did you get the money? Jolene didn't have no money to buy it, and no matter how poor it was, there was still my brother. ”
Sun Ruiyang emphasized again with a cold face: "Brother, now that I am her boyfriend, I am closer to her." ”
Jolene looked at them with blank eyes, although the two of them were polite, but every breath they breathed was like a flame erupting. Especially the brother on the other end of the phone, I'm afraid he has never been provoked like this since he was a child.
Qiao Nan silently accumulated, and finally said: "Let this go in advance, and we'll talk about it when we meet." ”
Sun Ruiyang gave the phone to Qiao Lin, and she was immediately excited when she learned that her brother might come to Beijing in the near future. But when I think about the last time I was released, I couldn't be happier.
My brother said: "Don't worry, it's been more than a year, and I haven't taken much normal vacation, not even family leave." A good young man like me who loves his job and is dedicated, can he still not approve a few days off?"
Needless to ask, Qiao Lin also knew why her brother came to Beijing, and she was a little apprehensive in anticipation. She looked at the dog-headed military advisor on the side, it was so strange that he, who had always been strategic, actually covered his chest and frowned.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"It's fine. Sun Ruiyang smiled bitterly: "It's just to call Brother Qiao Nan, I'm too nervous...... His aura is too strong. ”
“...... You two grew up together, what's there to be nervous about? Because he has a gun, or is it because he can fight?"
Sun Ruiyang didn't answer, and when he got off the subway, he said: "Even if he is unarmed and a weak scholar, as long as he is your brother, I will be nervous." ”
