Chapter 153: Happiness is Having the Present
Chapter 153 The so-called happiness is to have the present
"Giggles, Li Yan, you are so funny, you said that your dream is real, how is it possible?" Ma Juan said with a smile, with a look of disbelief.
Li Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Fat girl, do you think I look like I'm lying?"
"Is what you said true?" Ma Juan saw Li Yan's expression, turned her head to look at Chen Yan again, and now her expression was also a wry smile, the smile on her face turned into disbelief, she asked in a trembling voice: "Li Yan, is your dream really true?"
"I once experienced an unbelievable thing, that dream is only a very small fragment of it, if you want to listen, I can tell you all about what I have experienced, but it will take a long time to explain this matter clearly, so I said that when Ah Xiu and Sister Li are here, I will tell you all at once, this is the last secret I still keep now. Li Yan said with a smile.
"Li Yan, I want to hear it, can you talk to me first?" Ma Juan snuggled up to Li Yan's side and begged.
"Okay, but I said that I had to make an agreement with you before, and if you agreed, I said, and if you didn't agree, I won't say it. Li Yan said to Ma Juan with a smile.
"You say, whatever you say, I'll agree. Ma Juan nodded hurriedly.
"First, when I speak, don't make a fuss, second, when I speak, you can only listen and not ask, and you can ask any questions when I'm done, and third, when I'm done, you should listen to a story, and if there's anything that makes you haunted, don't cry. Li Yan said that the reason why the third condition was mentioned was because in his previous life, Ma Juan only existed in his early years, so he was worried that this girl who loved himself to the bone was also as angry about such a thing as Lin Jing, so he gave her a preventive injection first.
"That's all there is to it, well, I promise you. Ma Juan felt that these three were not particularly difficult things to do, so she agreed without thinking about it.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the last secret, when you listen to it, do you pick vegetables with the teacher, let's talk and work at the same time, it's best to be able to finish the dishes after I finish speaking, so as not to delay eating." Li Yan smiled and said to Ma Juan, who was still holding his arm tightly.
"Okay, teacher, let's pick vegetables together and let Li Yan tell us a story. Ma Juan stuck out her tongue mischievously, let go of Li Yan's arm, turned around and came to Chen Yan's side and said.
"Well, if you can listen to me with the mindset of listening to a story, I'll be relieved. Li Yan said with a smile.
"Oh, you can talk about it quickly, I can't wait, don't worry, first, I won't make a fuss, second, I only listen and don't speak, and third, I won't cry. Ma Juan saw that Li Yan was still her mother-in-law, so she said impatiently.
"Hehe, well, I'll tell you a story, the starting point of that story is in a small village called Tasi Village, there is a family in the village, the male owner is called Li Jianguo, the "female" owner is called Liu Mei, in the autumn of the seventh year, their family ushered in a little life, when the little guy's grandfather gave the little guy a very loud name - Li Reform ......" Li Yan started talking about her past and present life from the time she was born, and told many things about her tortuous past and present life, many of which Chen Yan had never heard of, so she soon became as fascinated as Ma Juan.
Fortunately, in order to make the whole story not sound so dull, Li Yan deliberately mixed some interesting stories and jokes that he had experienced, and the witty language made the two "girls" continue to giggle like silver bells. (Free download of the full-character e-book)
Soon Li Yan's narrative talked about his beginning, about him getting out of the supervision of his parents and becoming extremely stubborn, about his deliberate "trouble" with Wang Li in class, which led to the relationship between him and Wang Li being the same, and also about the fact that because of his lack of hard work, his originally good academic performance plummeted, and he had to choose to repeat a grade when he was promoted from the second to the third year of junior high school.
When telling this incident, Li Yan's voice was very calm, so calm that it seemed that she really had another story, but Chen Yan and Ma Juan heard a huge sadness from his words, and Ma Juan, who was still laughing and laughing at Li Yan's stubbornness, opened her eyes wide, knowing that at this time she realized the huge difference between Li Yan who told the story and Li Yan who she knew.
"The death of his father made the sky of Li Yan's family collapse, and Li Yan also woke up at this time, and his "temperament" changed greatly, in the eyes of the teacher, the original stubborn Li Yan was gone, replaced by a Li Yan who was immersed in studying all day long, and was somewhat taciturn......" Li Yan said, he used the third person from the beginning, as if telling a story, not his own life in his previous life.
Snorted, Li Yan scooped a spoonful of "meat" from the small basin with a frying spoon and put it into the already heated oil pot, and there was a snort.
"Fat girl, bring me the chopped garlic sprouts. Li Yan instructed Ma Juan, who was a little stunned on the side.
"Oh. Ma Juan handed the garlic sprouts to Li Yan, and when she watched him stir-fry, she bit her lip and looked at him and whispered, "Li Yan." ”
"Fat girl, if you have any questions, let's wait until I'm done, we have three chapters of the law, hehe. Li Yan said, soon he fried it, loaded the plate and let Ma Juan take it to the living room, after she came back, because the other dishes had not been processed, he continued to talk, he talked about the beginning of the almost masochistic study, he finally passed Wang Lingling, sat on the throne of the first academic performance in the township, and after graduation, he was admitted to the normal school, where he met Chen Yan, and became her only personal student.
"Teacher, don't you mind if I'm talking about the sad things again. At this time, Li Yan looked at Chen Yan, who was a little silent, and asked.
"It's okay, it's all about the elders, you can talk about it. Chen Yan said with a smile.
"At the Second Normal School, the teacher taught me music knowledge and taught me to play various musical instruments by hand...... Li Yan's thoughts flew to the demonstration campus in his previous life, telling the bits and pieces of how he followed Chen Yan to learn music, talking about Chen Yan's strict requirements for him, and also talking about Chen Yan's tears of joy when he lived up to expectations and was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music, and also talked about Chen Yan's love, about his self-exile, about the entanglement with Wang Li after returning to his hometown, about the emotional entanglement and tragic experience between Wang Lingling and Hou Jun, and about the days and nights when he resolutely resigned and went to the provincial capital to work hard alone in order to pursue his ideals......
Finally, he talked about the potato that he didn't know whether to resent or thank until now, and talked about returning to that night of the year like a big dream......
"Fat girl, you know the next thing, do you understand many things that you didn't understand now?" Li Yan finally said softly to Ma Juan, who was already in tears.
"Li Yan. Ma Juan called softly, looked at Li Yan with teary eyes, felt the deep sadness hidden in his eyes, walked to his side, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, and was no longer willing to let go.
"Silly girl, remember the three chapters of our covenant, and don't cry. Li Yan caressed Ma Juan's supple show and whispered in her ear.
"People can't help it, Li Yan, is what you're talking about a story or is it true?" Ma Juan said softly.
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the important thing is that I can hug you now, and the important thing is that I can still protect my teacher from harm, and not go into self-exile because of remorse, isn't it?"
"Li Yan, I have a lot of questions for you?" Ma Juan let go of Li Yan and said with red eyes.
"Okay, I'm done telling the story, if you have any questions, just ask, but fat girl, do you want me to fry the dishes first, and then you can ask when we eat?" Li Yan helped Ma Juan wipe the tears from her face and said with a smile.
"Oh, I'll give you a hand, you hurry up and fry, I'm a little hungry just to listen to you. Ma Juan smiled embarrassedly and took the initiative to help Li Yan start to speed up Li Yan's stir-frying.
"Li Yan, I'll go and see if Nan Nan is awake. When Li Yan hadn't finished speaking, the dishes had been completely picked by Ma Juan and Chen Yan, Chen Yan saw that she couldn't 'plug in' for the time being, and she didn't want to let Li Yan show her abnormality after listening to Li Yan's narration, so she found an excuse to leave, and she fell asleep when Li Yan went out to buy vegetables, and she also slept for a short time at this time, and she might wake up at any time.
"Li Yan, can I ask you questions now, it won't affect your stir-frying. Ma Juan finally couldn't wait to ask her many questions and curiosity, so she blinked her distant eyes and said pitifully and tentatively.
"Hehe, you ask. Li Yan turned his head to look at Ma Juan's pitiful appearance, smiled and said.
"Li Yan, what will our world be like in more than ten years, can you tell me?" Ma Juan raised her fist happily and asked curiously.
"In 10 years' time, our world will be called a global village, where people communicate and 'communicate' with each other It's easier to change than it is now, because by then, the science and technology exhibition will be able to make my brick-like phone smaller than a cigarette case, and it will become very cheap, and then people will basically have one, and computers and the Internet will become fully popular, and at that time, even if we are on opposite sides of the earth, we can see each other's appearance through the Internet, and chat through the Internet, and even be able to see each other's appearance through the camera......" Li Yan is used to "sex" because of his professional reasons. 's description of the future from the aspect of science and technology made Ma Juan's eyes bright, as if trying her best to imagine a better future.
"Li Yan, is the future really good?" After looking forward to it, Ma Juan saw that Li Yan only described the beautiful side of the future, so he raised his own questions.
"Of course not, where there is sunshine, there is a 'yin' shadow, the future is generally a good aspect of the exhibition, but there will also be many problems, such as the gap between the rich and the poor will become wider and wider in the future, the poor will get poorer and poorer, the rich will get richer and richer, and the gap between the two will become more and more difficult to cross, so many social contradictions will become more and more acute, and even irreconcilable......" Li Yan smiled and said, he remembered the social deformities caused by the excessive pursuit of economic law in later generations and the many social problems that arose.
"Is it that serious?" Ma Juan seemed to have a hard time accepting these questions that Li Yan said, so she frowned and asked.
"Very serious, take housing prices as an example, more than ten years later, will grow to a jaw-dropping height, someone once said, the people of China with the lowest wages in the world, but live in the world's most expensive house, you are afraid it is difficult to imagine that in the future, people need to "spend" hundreds of thousands or even millions to buy a house is what kind of scene. Li Yan said with a smile.
"According to what you say, the house in the future will be so expensive, where will people live, will they all go to sleep on the street?" Ma Juan asked rhetorically, no wonder she had such an idea, in fact, without experiencing that crazy era, no one would understand what kind of mood an ordinary person in China has about owning a suite.
"This problem is too complicated, you bring this dish out first, and I'll explain it to you when you come back. Li Yan smiled and said, he fried a dish as he spoke.
Soon Ma Juan walked back again, frowning as if she was still thinking about the question just now.
"Still thinking about it, silly girl, don't think about it, you won't be bothered by the room in the future, by the way, bring me that shiitake mushroom." Li Yan instructed Ma Juan.
Handing the mushrooms to Li Yan, Ma Juan seemed to accept Li Yan's persuasion, shook her head as if to drive out the problems that bothered her, and said with a smile again: "Yes, my boyfriend has money, and we will definitely be able to live in a beautiful big house in the future." ”
Then she rolled her eyes, and thought of something that made her unhappy, so she pouted and asked, "Li Yan, why aren't we together?"
"I don't know, I just know that you graduated with a high school entrance exam, and then you lost contact. Li Yan said as he stir-fried the shiitake mushrooms in the pot.
"Wow!" Ma Juan suddenly hugged Li Yan's waist from behind, put her face against his back, and cried loudly.
"Fat girl, what are you crying about, let go, I'm still stir-frying, don't burn you." Li Yan hurriedly persuaded him.
"I don't!" Ma Juan said stubbornly, not only did she not let go of Li Yan obediently, but hugged her tighter, crying and saying intermittently: "Li Yan, I want the older generation to be with you, this generation is with you, and the next generation is also with you......"
"Fat girl, we can't control the things of the previous generation, but we will definitely be together in this generation, aren't we?" Feeling the deep love of the girl behind her for herself, Li Yan persuaded softly.
"But when people think that their seniors are not with you, they feel uncomfortable, Li Yan, our generation should never be separated, okay?" Ma Juan let go of Li Yan, came to Li Yan's side, looked at him affectionately, and said with tears in her eyes.
"Silly girl, since your blood has flowed through my blood, we can no longer be separated, we will be together forever. Li Yan put down the frying spoon in his hand, helped Ma Juan wipe her tears, hugged her in his arms and said.
At this moment, the kitchen seemed to be quiet, and only two young men and women hugged each other tightly and two hearts were close together.
"Li Yan. Ma Juan shouted softly.
"Well, what's the matter?" asked Li Yan.
"The food looks like it's going to be mushy. Ma Juan whispered in Li Yan's ear.
"Ahh
"Hehe......" Looking at Li Yan who was in a hurry, Ma Juan grinned, a taste called happiness used her heart, and it will never go away, laughing and laughing, her tears fell again.
