Chapter 612: Love in a Time of Poverty
At the beginning of the year, Wen Jing introduced a girlfriend to Li Baoqing, and half a year has passed, have they talked about it?
Baoqing is a stuffy gourd, no matter how much he asks, his reply is only "very good" and "okay". He probably didn't know that such an answer would make people depressed, and it would also make people wonder, did he really get along with other girls? Or was he afraid of hurting Wen Jing's face and refused to tell the truth?
The answer had to be found from Qiao Lin, because in the entire big family, Bao Qing would only confide in Qiao Lin. But when he grows up, he won't tell Jolene everything. Jolene speculated through his couple avatar that he probably hadn't broken up yet!
In the last year of graduate school, Baoqing left school and went to a base in the south to do experiments. In that city, there are not only people introduced by my sister-in-law, but also Zhao Leilei, who is participating in a certain training.
After graduating from high school, the two of them are really from the north and south of the world, but the contact has never been broken, as long as they return to Hong Kong City, the two will always find a way to meet. After Li Baoqing went south, the first thing he did was not to ask the girl to meet, but to have dinner with Zhao Leilei. He drank a little wine for the first time and opened his mouth with difficulty: "You say, should I fall in love now?"
"You're in your twenties, why can't you talk? Besides, the person your sister-in-law introduced to you must not be bad, right? What are you hesitating about?"
Baoqing clenched his beer glass tightly and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I had a good impression of a girl in college, but she said a word, which made me dispel all thoughts of falling in love, and I didn't have the courage to confess to her." ”
"What did she say?"
She said that falling in love also requires capital, and the poor do not deserve love. ”
……
I don't know how noble her identity is, so that she can say such hurtful words. Not to mention Li Baoqing, even when Zhao Leilei heard it, his heart was cold. Since he was in high school, "poverty" has been a label that Li Baoqing can't take off, and he is sensitive and inferior to him. Because of this, Qiao Jianjun asked Zhao Leilei to "cover" Baoqing and let Baoqing not be bullied at school.
Although Zhao Leilei's family is unhappy, he has never experienced the taste of poverty, and even his family is still a well-known family. At the beginning, he didn't understand Baoqing at all, and after being a classmate with him for three years, he fully understood his hardships and admired his forbearance and progress. Not to mention anything else, Baoqing has not attended any cram school, and his college entrance examination score is dozens of points higher than him, and he was admitted to the coveted military medical university, which is very remarkable!
Zhao Leilei hadn't figured out how to comfort his good friend, Li Baoqing said again: "You don't have to comfort me, she has a point, people like me who get poverty subsidies every year are really not worthy of confessing to her." ”
"What is not worthy? Although your family background is a little worse, other places are not bad at all! That woman is not worthy of you! It is also your luck to stay away from such a woman!"
After telling this story, Baoqing felt a lot better, but he was still not confident: "You say, should I go to see that girl?"
"See! What's the point of hesitation? You have to be confident!" Zhao Leilei was very anxious for him: "I don't have such a good opportunity, no one has ever introduced me to a partner! You are freer than me now, hurry up and fall in love!"
With the encouragement of his good friend, Baoqing sent a message to the girl and asked her to meet. Although he bravely took the first step, he didn't have much hope, and even just wanted to give his sister-in-law an explanation. The girl was quite generous, sent him several cute expressions, and finally said, "Then I'm looking forward to meeting Brother Bing!"
Baoqing has never been called "Brother Bing" so affectionately, and he is not a "Brother Bing" who crawls on the training ground all day long like Qiao Nan and Zhao Leilei, but when the girl shouted like that, he was really happy, holding his mobile phone and smirking.
Soon it was time to meet, and Baoqing went to the restaurant early in the morning to wait for her. The female classmate he had liked before was indeed very beautiful, and she was as proud as a peacock, and he thought that was the kind of girl he liked. And when his blind date came to him with a ponytail and a plaid dress, and when he felt his heart pounding, he knew that he liked such a lively and youthful girl.
At that time, he had just finished reading a book, and the female writer wrote a sentence in the book - it can be seen that what kind of person you love, you will only know when you meet it.
It couldn't be more apt here.
Baoqing was used to being thrifty, and the number of times he ate out was only a handful, and that meal cost him two or three hundred, but he didn't feel distressed at all. After returning to the dormitory, he reopened WeChat, still smirking at the screen, and changed the girl's remarks to "Yanyan".
Li Baoqing was sure that he liked her, but he was afraid of losing her. After the two dated for a while, Yanyan saw that her boyfriend was so economical, she never bought only one cup of milk tea and only one snack, of course, they were all given to her. He said that he only likes to eat and drink, and he doesn't like anything else.
Yanyan was suspicious and inquired from her sister, only to learn that Li Baoqing's family background was indeed very bad. It stands to reason that on her terms, she can find a boyfriend who is superior to Baoqing in all aspects, but she also appreciates Baoqing's calmness and steadfastness, as well as the uniform he wears. Besides, Baoqing's grades are very good, and he can live a good life with his own skills in the future, right?
After some consideration, Yeon-yeon still decided to date him, but the conflict will always break out, about three months after dating, she revealed that she really wanted to buy a women's bicycle, and she could lose weight by commuting to work. Li Baoqing is not a fool, he can hear that his girlfriend wants him to send her a bicycle.
Bicycles are really not expensive gifts, a few hundred dollars can buy a good one. Baoqing immediately agreed, saying that he would place an order online, and Yanyan happily sent him the link. She was full of hope that her boyfriend would give her this gift, but after waiting for several days, Baoqing did not move.
Yanyan couldn't hold her breath and asked him what he meant, and Baoqing replied honestly: "If there is an event in a few days, it will be a lot cheaper." ”
Yeon-yeon immediately got angry and told him not to buy it, she didn't need it. When his girlfriend is angry, Baoqing is very nervous, he doesn't want to lose his hard-won girlfriend. He immediately placed an order from the Internet and bought a bunch of snacks. After the bike arrived, he rode up to his girlfriend.
Yanyan was still angry, and wanted to turn a blind eye to him, but some words were not displeased, so she yelled at him: "I want a gift of a hundred yuan for a hundred days, is it too much? As for making you hesitate for so long? It's been a few days since the 100-day anniversary, what's the point of you buying it?!"
As she spoke, Yeon-yeon cried aggrievedly and strode away. Baoqing was told by her, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he still chased after him on a bicycle, and plucked up the courage to say: "I told you a long time ago, I am poor, maybe poorer than you think." ”
“……”
"My dad was sick all the year round, and my family was poor since I was a child. After his transplant, he recovered well, but he had to spend a lot of money on medicine every year. For others, a few hundred dollars is really nothing, but I still have to be careful with my calculations, and if I spend a wrong budget, the rest of my living expenses will be a problem. ”
Exposing his scars in front of his girlfriend, Baoqing was very uncomfortable, but he continued: "But I never felt that my dad was a burden, and I still hope that he can live for a long time." Buying a house or a car, my family will definitely not be able to help...... But I am confident that I will be like my cousin, with my own skills, to establish myself in the big city, to marry a wife and have children. The process will be very painful, and probably no girl is willing to endure this kind of suffering...... So, this gift is for you, let's separate. Thank you for this time. ”
Baoqing got off his bike, turned around and left. The sorrow of poverty came back to his heart, and he was particularly miserable. And his girlfriend stood there looking at him, but her eyes fell on his feet. I hadn't noticed it before, and the shoes he was wearing were all washed white.
