Chapter Eighty-Eight: Meet the Parents
Li Yalian's fragile heart was overcome by Chen Shi, and the two hugged each other tightly, for fear that they would lose each other as soon as they let go, for fear that this was just a dream, and for fear that they would forget each other in a blink of an eye.
After that, Li Yalian used a thin voice to describe the problems she encountered to Chen Shi. Through her explanation, Chen Shi learned that Li Yalian herself was fine, but something happened to her family. Her younger brother broke the other party's arm because of a fight with someone at school, and the other party was compensated for 100,000 yuan. For the 100,000 yuan, she didn't know how many days and nights she had to work continuously, and the only source of income for her family was her, so she almost collapsed under such a big pressure, so she called Chen Shi and cried.
In Chen Shi's memory, Li Yalian's younger brother did not have such a thing in his previous life, but his grades were not very good, and he was barely admitted to a junior college after repeating his studies for a year. In a way, they are happy. But such a thing happened in this life, is the impact of the butterfly effect really that big?
"You take a leave of absence, let's go home!" After hearing this, Chen Shi suggested: "I'll accompany you back, if there is something to solve in person, isn't it just 100,000 yuan? I'll lend it to you first, and I must not let your brother have an accident." Chen Shi guessed that it could be the other party's blackmail? An arm was broken, what kind of scar, was it a fracture, or was it directly cut off? He couldn't figure it out, so he wanted to go back and find out the situation.
Li Yalian refused: "No, the supervisor will not approve the leave, and I can't solve the problem if I go back, let alone borrow your money." "She is a strong person with strong self-esteem, when the two were together, her salary was always sent home for her younger brother to go to school, and she never used a penny of Chen Shi, she is not the kind of person who wants to find a man to rely on, but to get along with others on an equal footing.
Chen Shi knew that it was very difficult to give her money, but he would not give up, in this life, he would never let her suffer anymore, and he would never let her worry about living expenses of hundreds of yuan. In his memory to this day, there are still bits and pieces of getting along with Li Yalian, when they were strapped for money, every penny was counted and spent, and every child could not be used indiscriminately, she was also a good housekeeper, and when the wages of the two people were not high, the small life was good.
So far, Chen Shi is nostalgic for such days, but he doesn't want her to worry about money. The problems that can be solved with money are not a problem in Chen Shi's opinion, and now he does not lack the 100,000 yuan in his hand.
Chen Shi said: "You won't go to see how you know the specific situation? You will go to ask for leave tomorrow, and if you can't ask for leave, you will leave directly, and then I will find you a job that is 100 times better than this." ”
It would be better if Li Yalian could resign, but now she still has concerns, of course she will not resign easily.
She hesitated a little, and Chen Shi said again: "How much money can you earn a year for this job? Also, what should you do if the garment factory closes down? So don't hesitate, don't worry, with me, I will definitely find you a job that is a hundred times better." ”
Li Yalian said to go back and think about it, but Chen Shi knew that it would be useless to persuade him any longer, so he didn't say it again. There is a small hotel near the garment factory, Chen Shi lives here, of course, Li Yalian wants to go back to the dormitory, he can't touch her the first time they meet, it will scare her. She is not the kind of casual girl, she has her own insistence, of course Chen Shi can't force it. He only hopes that she can think it through and resign tomorrow or ask for leave.
The next day, Li Yalian worked at night and had to go to work in the afternoon, she came to the hotel in the morning, and the two had breakfast together, and then said about her resignation. Li Yalian thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Shi and said, "If I resign, I will only have to rely on you in the future." ”
Chen Shi said softly: "Don't worry, I will support you." Li Yalian was moved, and the two decided to resign after a while.
Li Yalian's decision to resign was very hasty for the garment factory, so when the two of them went to the supervisor to make it clear, the supervisor replied coldly: "You can leave if you want, but the salary is not available." ”
Chen Shi understands this very well, people have their own rules in the factory, you are about to resign at the moment, can you pay you off the salary? Generally, you have to say one or two months in advance of your resignation, so that people can find someone to replace you, otherwise you leave in a hurry, and his loss is not small.
Chen Shi didn't care about this salary, but Li Yalian was very reluctant, and she wanted the supervisor to settle it, Chen Shi took her hand and said, "Forget it, isn't it just more than half a month's salary?
Li Yalian had no choice but to follow him out, so the two bought tickets and got on the train and rushed home. The ticket is a hard seat, Chen Shi is ready to buy a sleeper, but Li Yalian does not allow it, she says it is too expensive, and the same is true for hard seats. Fortunately, this is a vehicle to the southwest, and there is still a period of time before the Chinese New Year, and it is not the time for the Spring Festival, so they bought tickets with seats.
The train clanged, the two of them were no longer lonely during the lonely journey, with each other by their side, of course, they felt that they were all good places, and everything was pleasing to the eye, after getting on the train, the two leaned on each other, quietly telling each other's secrets, and telling little love words.
The train drove for a day and a night before arriving at the station, and after arriving in Lincheng, Chen Shi did not go to see the house being renovated, and everything was not as important as Li Yalian, so they bought a bus ticket and took the car to the county seat.
Chen Shi has never been to this county seat, except for his previous life, of course, because he followed Li Yalian back to his parents' house and didn't know how many trips he had made, so he was very familiar with the county seat. Li Yalian's house is not far from the county seat, in a mountain col, after getting off the car to walk for half an hour on the dirt road, this road is not very safe, according to Li Yalian, there have been robberies here, because some gangsters will block the road to ask for cigarette money, so Li Yalian is not afraid to walk this road when she is alone.
Now, with Chen Shi by her side, she is not afraid of anything, she just wants to go home early and get things done at home as soon as possible.
The two of them carried large bags and small bags, and the half-hour journey took forty minutes, and when they arrived home, they were both tired and out of breath. Li Yalian's house is two small mud houses, the roof is thatched, the walls on the loess are hung with some agricultural tools, sickles, axes, hoes, etc., a big yellow dog wagged its tail in front of the house, and when they came, they barked vigilantly, but Li Yalian ran over happily when she called it, and circled around Li Yalian's feet several times.
As for Chen Shi, an outsider, it has been keeping its distance with vigilance. The dog's barking alarmed her family, and his parents were stunned when they came out to see Chen Shi. Li Yalian introduced: "Mom and Dad, this is my friend Chen Shi. ”
Chen Shi greeted him obediently, of course he couldn't be too presumptuous when he came to his father-in-law's house, he must please the family, otherwise he may not have a good life in the future.
Li Yalian did not say anything about her resignation, she just said that she was on leave, and that she would come back to solve her brother's problem, and asked her parents what was going on with her brother and why he was fighting with others.
Father Li sighed and said: "It's all the computer that provoked Huo, what kind of Internet café was opened in the county, they provoked a gangster in society when they were playing with the computer, and the two parties had a conflict, and then they dislocated someone's hand in the pushing." ”
When Chen Shi heard this, this is not a big matter, but his arm is dislocated, and the other party actually dares to ask for 100,000 yuan, is it impossible to be poor and crazy? After hearing this, Li Yalian said angrily: "Why do you have to extort 100,000 yuan if you dislocate it? Isn't this too dark?"
Father Li sighed again: "There are people in the family who are officials, and we ordinary people who can afford to be officials, now people are still lazy in the hospital, saying that they will live without losing money, and in the end we don't have to pay for this money." ”
Chen Shi comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely solve this matter tomorrow." Father Li obviously didn't believe it, he didn't look too good at Chen Shi, and he was dressed averagely, so he didn't have much hope.
Li Yalian asked, "What about Li Jun?" Li Jun is Li Yalian's younger brother, Chen Shi's impression is that this person is average, and there is nothing memorable, plain.
Father Li said: "Recently, he has been looking for a demon, and he has not come out of the Internet café all day, and he has been playing some games so hard that he has not even eaten. ”
Chen Shi opened an Internet café, and after hearing this, his heart moved slightly, and he said: "Uncle, Internet cafes are not necessarily harmful, in addition to playing games, you can learn a lot of things." ”
Uncle Li sighed: "But these babies can play games, in addition to games or games, for the sake of games, they don't even sleep or eat, they are really enchanted and can't be saved." ”
Chen Shi didn't say any more, the old man's thinking is always conservative, but he suddenly thought that there should be no Internet café in the county seat? In the previous life, when he and Li Yalian came back, they couldn't find an Internet café, so why did the county open an Internet café in this life? Could it be ...... Could it be that Taozi has expanded? It is very likely, Chen Shi thinks about it, and this is the only possibility.
Chen Shi and Li Yalian are going to rest at home for the night and wait for tomorrow to go to the county seat to solve the matter. At dinner, Li's mother made a pot of potato soup, persuaded Chen Shi to eat more, and said that the conditions at home were not good, and hoped that he would not mind. Chen Shi grew up eating potatoes, so he didn't mind what he ate, and he never had such a high pursuit.
At night, Li Yalian arranged Chen Shi on her brother's bed, fortunately, her brother was hooked on online games and was not at home at this time, otherwise he would have to squeeze into the same bed with him. In his previous life, the two of them had squeezed many times, and he didn't want to suffer such a sin again in this life.
Early the next morning, Chen Shi was woken up by Li Yalian, Li's father and Li mother asked him if he slept soundly, of course Chen Shi would not say that he didn't sleep well, even if he didn't sleep well, he had to say that it was very good. Eating noodles for breakfast, this was specially to entertain him, and Li's father went to buy them early in the morning. Chen Shi didn't know about this.
After eating, Chen Shi and Li Yalian walked towards the county seat. Along the way, when she met Li Yalian's fellow villagers, Li Yalian greeted her warmly, and she didn't look shy at all. When everyone saw Chen Shi, of course they knew what was going on. In these days, it is too late to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen in the countryside, and some get married at the age of fifteen.
Early marriage in rural areas is a common phenomenon, so there is nothing wrong with Li Yalian, the eldest girl, bringing her boyfriend back, and some old people ask them when they will have a happy event.
Chen Shi and Li Yalian can only shirk and say that in the future, they will definitely send you an invitation and give you candy in the future.
All the way down, the two of them seem to be swaggering through the market, but fortunately, this village is not big, about dozens of households, out of the village is a small road, there is basically no one on the road, and you can't see people until the main road.
