Chapter 39: Loneliness

He Rulan has lived in the dormitory enough, and in the past five years, the people in the dormitory have changed a few times, and only He Rulan lives in this room as always.

Ding Jianrong got married last year and moved away, the newly moved Xiaohan is a hydropower section, although he is a new employee, but he is not young, it is said that he has been married and had children in the countryside, in order to be able to take over his father's class, he found someone to secretly make a false certificate, and then came to Yimeng to work.

Xiao Han had a fight with Luo Xiaojun as soon as he came, the reason was that Luo Xiaojun's pair of earrings was missing, although the sterling silver one was not so valuable, but the style was her favorite, He Rulan knew that this earring was bought when she went to Hangzhou for a trip, there is no such style in the local area, Luo Xiaojun has always been a baby.

On the weekend, Luo Xiaojun took off her earrings and put them on the table before taking a shower, she used to do the same, He Rulan and Ding Jianrong are both upright people, Luo Xiaojun has always been at ease.

When he came back from taking a shower this time, Luo Xiaojun found that the earrings were missing, and when he left, Xiao Han was the only one in the house, He Rulan went to her sister's house early in the morning, and she didn't come back until now.

It stands to reason that Xiao Han is the most suspicious, and when He Rulan came back at night, the two of them were still arguing in the house.

"I just didn't take it! You look down on people and slander good people!" Xiao Han's face was flushed, and her lungs were about to explode, and if she didn't do it, she would take out the posture of being in the countryside and start scolding the street.

"You were the only one in the house from beginning to end, and you took it as soon as you took it, and it was worthless, so why bother if you wanted me to give it to you? Luo Xiaojun responded harshly.

"You put ......"

"Okay, okay, Xiao Luo, think about it again, did you really put it on the table when you left? It's not that I help Xiao Han speak, I don't think she is that kind of person, last time I washed my clothes and took out my pocket, I didn't find that ten yuan fell on the ground, or Xiao Han helped me pick it up and put it on the table. He Rulan hurriedly played a round and said a fair word.

Luo Xiaojun pouted angrily, how could this Sister He help this rural girl speak? Could it be that she still lied?

"Come, let's take it slowly, you take off your earrings and go to the shower, do you put them on the table? Will you put them in a drawer? Sometimes memory can be skewed, think about it. He Rulan prompted.

"I'm also afraid that I'm mistaken, I've searched all the drawers, and there is no one at all!" Luo Xiaojun opened the drawer and collapsed on the bed, "Oh! not at all!"

He Rulan helped to find it, but there was really none, "Where is the bag?

"How could I put it in my bag?" Luo Xiaojun said as he opened his satchel and poured everything on the bed with his mouth down.

A silver light, earrings appeared on the sheets.

"What's going on? How is it in my bag?"

He Rulan smiled and shook her head.

Luo Xiaojun's face turned red, she remembered, she walked outside the door and suddenly felt thirsty, turned back and drank some water, caught a glimpse of her earrings on the table, and looked at Xiao Han again, She Rulan was not at home, she was not at ease, grabbed the earrings and stuffed them into her bag, and took a bath.

He Rulan closed her eyes tiredly and lay on the bed, her ears were still pestering Xiao Han unrelentingly, Luo Xiaojun would not apologize to her, and the two quarreled again.

When is this day going to be the end? He Rulan was in an irritable mood.

Last autumn, his younger brother He Rulei went to serve as a soldier, and the family was not involved, so He Ruxue took his parents to the city to live together.

Relaxation always comes with emptiness, there is no need to help take care of Xiaonan, He Rulan has more time all of a sudden, and her work is already proficient, in addition to preparing for classes, He Rulan has nothing left to read books and be in a daze in her spare time.

The little sisters who participated in the work with her, Wang Xuejiao and Gu Mengmeng are already married, Gu Mengmeng is now pregnant, Luo Fengjuan is scheduled to get married on May Day, and she also moved away from the single dormitory.

He Rulan didn't even have anyone to talk to when she went shopping, the two people in the house were noisy all day long, and He Rulan mediated a few times in the middle to no avail, so she had to go with them.

Last year's National Day, He Rulan went to Beijing alone, in the golden autumn of October, the autumn is high and refreshing, He Rulan stood on the Badaling Great Wall and overlooked, the red maple all over the mountains was dizzying, the Great Wall was like a giant dragon extending between the mountains, but the dragon saw the head and did not see the end, hidden in the vast mountains.

Standing on the Great Wall and looking out, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the mountains are full of autumn colors, withered yellow leaves, and the fiery red maple forests are colorful and majestic.

If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, He Rulan was deeply shocked by the magnificent rivers and mountains! Compared with the majestic nature, how small she looks!

Standing on the Great Wall, with gusts of autumn wind passing by her ears, He Rulan felt a sense of pride bursting out of her heart, and she decided to let go of the past and start life again.

After returning from Beijing, He Rulan's whole mental outlook has changed, she has become positive and optimistic, no longer taciturn, no longer timid in her work, and has broken through her original style in teaching.

He Rulan told the students about what she had seen and heard in Beijing, the majestic Badaling Great Wall, the gorgeous Forbidden City, the quiet Summer Palace, the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square, the majestic Monument to the People's Heroes, and the treasure-level National Museum of China.

Looking at the children's fascinated expressions, He Rulan encouraged the children to study hard and grow up quickly, go outside as soon as possible to see more beautiful scenery, and enter a broader world.

He Rulan's class has always been among the best in the competition, and her colleagues have commented that she went to Beijing as if she was a different person, and some people speculated whether she had met someone during the trip?

In the face of all kinds of speculation, He Rulan had to block her heart for many days in the past, but she won't take it to heart now, she always laughs at the rumors, never defends, and is even more mysterious and charming.

After the winter vacation, suddenly the spirit came from above, the railway middle school and the railway primary school were merged, and the merged schools were collectively called the railway experimental school, and the teachers moved into the new office building, and in the reading room, He Rulan met Yu Xiumei.

Similar quiet personality and attitude towards the world, He Rulan and Yu Xiumei quickly became friends, although the age difference is a lot, but it does not delay their first sight and talk about everything, as the friendship becomes stronger and stronger, He Rulan's lifelong event is put on the agenda.

Although she is not a leftover woman, He Rulan feels more and more lonely with her, most of her peers have a home, and the twenty-five-year-old He Rulan is still alone.

After thinking about it, He Rulan decided to follow Yu Xiumei's suggestion and met a blind date with suitable conditions, because Xiumei arranged to meet.

In May 1992, on a breezy spring evening, Yu Xiumei temporarily invited He Rulan to her home as a guest, I don't know if this is a so-called blind date, which makes He Rulan a little apprehensive.
