Young-joo is back.

The parents called Yinglong and Yinghong together and accompanied Yingzhu to a reunion dinner.

Because Yingyun had already married away from home and had something at home, he didn't come back this time.

At the dinner table, Milan tirelessly chattered about the affairs of Yingzhu's family.

Yinglong listened a little impatiently, but his face was silent, and he sat quietly and ate alone.

Obviously, Yingnan and Milan haven't seen Yingzhu for a long time, and their attitude seems to be very enthusiastic.

They think that it is not easy for Yingzhu to go home, and they should be treated well.

Therefore, Milan and Yinghong specially cooked a meal with hometown characteristics, with meat and vegetarian combinations, dazzling, very suitable for the taste of Yingzhu.

However, Yinglong does not appear particularly enthusiastic.

He hasn't forgotten the college admission letter at the beginning, although he has already let go of it in his heart, but after all, he has experienced it, so he can't let it go. Now, Young-joo goes home to meet her parents, and in the eyes of Young-nam and Milan, she is very proud of her return to her hometown.

Listening to Yingzhu's story, she is doing quite well now.

Young-joo is dressed more fashionably, but she is noticeably thinner than before. Although Yingzhu is a girl, she is not much shorter than Yinglong, but now she looks a little thin, although the skirt on her body looks fashionable, but it does not fit so well.

Young-joo didn't say much, just responded to her mother simply while eating the meal prepared for her.

Yinglong calmed down, thinking that since Yingzhu was doing well, but now that she had lost weight, she really didn't know if she was doing well.

Yingzhu brought some gifts to her parents, all of which were local specialties.

Of course, the parents were very happy and felt that their daughter still had some filial piety and did not waste their previous efforts.

Yingzhu also brought something to Yinglong, he accepted it quietly, and said simply, "Thank you."

Thank. ”

After the meal, Yingzhu invited Yinglong to go out for leisure: "Yinglong, after eating, do you have time to go out and sit?"

Yinglong thought that the things in the store had already been ordered with Wenxue, and he could relax for the time being, so he was invited to a tea house by the river with Yingzhu to drink.

Yingzhu and Yinglong sat down face to face and came up with two bottles of beer.

Facing Yingzhu, Yinglong felt a little difficult to calm down.

Yingzhu lowered her head and said to Yinglong after a while: "Actually, you can also see that some things are really hard to say, in fact, life over there is also very difficult." ”

When Yinglong heard it, it was expected and unexpected.

He pondered for a moment, and then replied calmly: "What's so difficult, it's the same everywhere, but you? ”

"Where, I'm also full of bitterness. "Yingzhu is a little lonely.

"Look at your appearance, you should be doing well, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing, how can you work so hard like me. Yinglong was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Yingzhu should be content.

Yingzhu raised her head and glanced at the river, turned her face to Yinglong and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the work over there is also very hard, I get up early and touch the dark, and I often have to wait until it gets dark to get home, and there is intrigue between colleagues." ”

After speaking, Yingzhu said bitter water to Yinglong.

In fact, Yingzhu's husband is richer, so Yingzhu doesn't worry about money. It's just that when the child was young, he tried his best, and both of them had to go to work, even if the family hired a nanny, it was a big headache for the Yingzhu family.

Yingzhu also worked hard in the unit, and at first relied on the support of her husband for a while.

Yingzhu tempered her heart because of this, after all, life is not easy, and family is an indispensable support for her.

Yinglong listened to Yingzhu's story, and he didn't know what to say.

It stands to reason that Yingzhu used to be at home, but everything was fine, but now it is unexpected that she has reined in her heart.

But she got everything she wanted.

If you have gained, you will lose. As for the difficult scripture of life, just read it slowly, who is not the same.

Yinglong took a few sips of beer and looked at the river in the distance, the cargo ships on the river were docked on the shore, the lights were on in the cabin, and it was obvious that someone was busy there.

Yinglong asked Yingzhu calmly: "What do you think about that incident back then?"

Yingzhu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?"

"My acceptance letter, you burned it later. Yinglong replied calmly.

"I, now all I can say is that I didn't mean to, I'm really sorry. Young-joo replied a little embarrassed, whispering, stroking the cup with her hand.

"Do you regret it?" asked Yinglong.

Young-joo immediately felt a little speechless.

The atmosphere at the moment was a little awkward, and Yinglong felt that the surroundings were quiet, only the barges passing on the river "suddenly" sounded.

Yinglong snorted secretly.

Young-joo raised her head, was silent for a moment and explained, "Actually, some things are not as simple as you see, you can't blame me entirely. ”

Yinglong was a little strange and looked into Yingzhu's eyes: "Why?"

Yingzhu seemed to recall the events of the year, and said slowly: "Actually, the name written on the admission letter was wrong, and it was not your name at all." ”

Yinglong was taken aback, "Whose name is that?"

Yingzhu seemed to open the conversation, looked at Yinglong and explained cautiously: "Yinglong, it is Yingyou who is written on it! ”

Yinglong smashed on his head like a heavy hammer, which seemed to confirm his original impression, he stretched out his hand and knocked heavily on the table: "There is such a thing, Yingzhu, you didn't lie, right?"

Yingzhu opened her mouth and looked at Yinglong in surprise: "I'm not lying, Yinglong is true." ”

"But I obviously saw that you engraved the name on the notice, and it was still the word Yinglong!"

Yinglong was very angry and stared at Yingzhu's eyes.

Yingzhu was a little ashamed, and said slowly: "That name was I found the same cardboard and typed it on a typewriter, in fact, I also wanted to help you, but the name was wrong, you can't go to college, and then I thought that even if I spelled your name, it would be in vain, and others could see that it was a piece of waste paper at all." ”

"But you shouldn't burn it! ”

Yinglong almost lost his temper, to be honest, he was very angry, he felt that Yingzhu shouldn't do that, she was completely unreasonable, it was too naïve to do so.

"But then you shouldn't have treated me like that, even beating me and scolding me, I just wanted to help you, but you treated me as a suspect and completely misunderstood me. I burned the admission letter in a fit of rage, and that name is a piece of waste paper anyway, do you understand?"

Yinglong was speechless, he felt that Yingzhu was in the water in his brain, and he actually did this, such a move was simply too naïve, and he actually found a piece of cardboard to type a name and spell it, this is a way that only children can think of, and he also burned the admission book, which is incredible.

But how can it be made up for now? Yinglong has lost everything he could have gained.

Yingzhu apologized: "Yinglong, don't you get everything now? Life is like this, you lose from one place, and you will gain from another." ”

Yinglong lazily responded: "Is this what you want to say, I don't think so, don't you think it's too naïve to do this?"

Yingzhu was speechless, and responded after a while: "But there is still a long way to go, who knows what the outcome will be, you are a smart person, maybe there will be good rewards in the future, even if you go to college, you may not be able to have everything you have now." ”

Yinglong really wanted to say at this time: "Can I get back everything I lost? You are too understated!"

But he just glanced at Yingzhu coldly a few times and didn't speak.

Yingzhu saw that Yinglong was silent, but she couldn't make up for her past mistakes, so she ordered two more bottles of beer, ordered a cold dish and Yinglong poured herself a drink.

For a while, the two of them really didn't know how to say something, but how to investigate the matter after so many years.

Until late at night, Yingzhu and Yinglong took a taxi home.

Yinglong remembered what Yingzhu said at night: "Saiong knows if he loses his horse." ”

He recalled all the ups and downs he had experienced since losing his university admission letter: how he got to Ben Thanh University and how he met Shiwei. Later, I went all the way to Lake City, met Yu Xin, and broke up with Yu Xin after having Xiao Yingrui, and then created my own "Cloud Away", met Wen Xue and Wei Qiang, and now finally lives a peaceful life.

Try to think about how these people and things would have happened if they had successfully entered college and gone to another future?

But if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have experienced the ups and downs of life and tasted all the bitterness.

But all kinds of experiences over the years have sharpened his tenacity.

Although he often sighs in the middle of the night, he even thinks that life has changed too much for an ordinary person like him, and he is a little overwhelmed.

Yinglong thought about it, as if he had knocked over the "five-flavor bottle", and the sour, astringent, bitter, spicy and salty taste lingered in his heart.

He knew that since then, the path of his life had been changed, and he had come to another fork in the road.

But the people and events on this journey of life will always be engraved in my heart.

Since then, Yinglong has not been able to calmly evaluate which is a blessing or a curse.

Stumbling all the way, ups and downs, countless times of sadness and sadness, countless times of happiness and joy, entangled, at best, it can only be said that it is a blessing and a curse.

Even if the final result is fruitful, it is the result of his painstaking management, and it is not something that Yingzhu can judge with a simple evaluation.

Yinglong doesn't know if Yingzhu has considered how much of a blow his original behavior brought him, and even the aftermath has spread to his later life.

These dragons didn't expect it at first, but now they don't want to think about it anymore.

He felt that he was a man who could create a life with his abilities, and he would rather stand tall in the face of disasters than face everything with perseverance.

Yinglong just wants a peaceful life, at least he can run the coffee house and no longer pursue the previous things, because there is no point in it. It's just that I've experienced what I should have experienced, and I have experienced what I shouldn't have experienced.

He said to himself: In comparison, I have more ups and downs than others, but those experiences may still have a little meaning for me, and maybe they will be quite colorful in my memories in the future.

Some bits and pieces, like seashells left on the beach, are occasionally picked up by the British dragon piece by piece, held in the palm of the hand to carefully ponder, savoring their bizarre patterns and distant sounds when they are placed in the ear.

Perhaps in his later memories, these things can bring him a knowing smile.
