063. Back
I walked into the snack street and called Ye Shengyin. This time, Ye Shengyin took it.
But as soon as I got there, she hurriedly told me that she was in a meeting in the afternoon, and that she had dinner in the evening, and that she was rushing home to change her clothes, and then before I could say anything, she quickly pinched the phone.
It's really a person who is unlucky to drink cold water and stuff his teeth, and he can't even find someone to complain about.
I silently went to the food stall I frequented, the owner was fiddling with the tables and chairs, at this point, we had just gotten off work, but for this night market street, the day's excitement was just beginning.
The proprietress who was putting a disposable plastic tablecloth on the table saw me and greeted me warmly: "It's like I haven't seen you for a long time, the little girl who used to be with you two days ago is still here, I asked her why you didn't come, she said you got married, congratulations!"
I was a little overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, and I would only nod "um" a few times with a smile on my face for a long time, and then say, "Thank you!"
When the proprietress saw my restrained appearance, she thought I was shy, and looked outside, and then asked me strangely, "Are you alone?"
I nodded, the proprietress was a little embarrassed and stunned, I guess she must have guessed in her heart that I had a quarrel with my husband and so on, and I was afraid that she would ask if she was too enthusiastic, but she was only embarrassed for a second, and then smiled like a flower and asked me: "What do you want to eat? barbecue or stir-fry? Come on, come on, sit here first......
It wasn't until I ordered good dishes and new customers came over one after another, and the proprietress didn't have time to continue to pay attention to me.
I ordered two large plates of barbecue, thought about it, and asked for a few beers.
When the proprietress brought the wine, she looked at me and stopped, presumably trying to persuade me to do something, but looking at my smiling face, she didn't say anything in the end, only beckoned me to eat slowly.
I was overwhelmed by her sympathetic gaze, and most of the people who came here to eat were friends and friends, and I was alone at this table, and even in the most unnoticeable corners, I felt that all the eyes that came to me were mixed with sympathy.
With this awkward feeling, I quickly settled the food in front of me, and the beer was drunk like water. Then I quickly settled the bill, and before leaving, the proprietress beckoned me to come often.
I smiled and waved to the hostess, but my heart was very uncomfortable.
It was already completely dark, and the lights on the snack street were flickering, which was the busiest time. I wandered around aimlessly, and finally walked to the Cultural Palace, which is adjacent to the snack street.
At eight o'clock, it was the golden time for aunts to dance. I stood in the midst of the excitement for a while, and then walked along the small bridge over the artificial lake to the pavilion in the center of the lake and sat down.
The night breeze is gentle, bringing the summer heat to your face. I looked boredly at the lake reflecting the various lights for a while, and finally simply took out my mobile phone to play.
There are two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls sitting next to them, discussing the latest hit TV series, and arguing passionately about whether the heroine should choose the first male or the second male. I listened for a moment, tugging at the corners of my mouth and smiling.
In the early years, I would also discuss similar topics with Ye Shengyin, especially when the TV series "Naked Marriage" was a hot mess, I also had a heated discussion with Ye Shengyin on QQ that men's nature is bad, and it was completely exposed as soon as they got married.
At that time, I just came out to work, Ye Shengyin was still in college, and we each longed for our respective Prince Charming, and then later, I met Lian Jincheng.
My relationship with Lian Jincheng was actually not favored from the beginning.
He is tall and handsome, and his family background is much better than mine, and when my mother first knew that I was looking for a boyfriend with this condition, the first thing she said was, "We can't afford such a family!"
Even Ye Shengyin asked me hesitantly: "Will his family agree to the two of you?"
Lian Jincheng had just graduated from college at the time, studied budgeting, and worked in his father's small construction company. After falling in love with me, he often used the construction site as an excuse to skip work and come to the company to play with me.
At that time, I was in love at the beginning, and I didn't take my mother's words at ease, and I thought about Ye Shengyin's worries very simply, I just felt that it was good for two people to love each other, and if there were any difficulties, they would just face it together.
But in fact, this relationship has been going on for four years, and it only took half a year for my mother to go from opposing me and Lian Jincheng to being together from acquiescence to approval, but it took Lian Jincheng almost three years to get his mother to agree to talk to me on the phone once.
In that phone call, Lian Jincheng and I were full of hope, but Lian's mother was very direct, she said: "In fact, it is not that we have a gateway view, any parent hopes that their children can be happy." You and Jin Cheng are still young now, you may feel that they are in love with each other, and they are very suitable, but have you ever thought about it, your living environment since childhood, the education you have received, and your life experience are too far apart, Jin Cheng now thinks that girls like you are fresh and like you, but once the days go by, when he passes this freshness, he will slowly notice the gap between you, and then you won't even be able to talk together, I'm afraid that you will look at each other and get tired of each other!"
Before I answered the phone, I thought that even my mother would say all kinds of tough or ugly things, but I didn't expect her to be so serious and honest.
I was stunned by what she said, and it took me a long time to try to refute her with the excuse that Lian Jincheng and I had been together for three years.
But she didn't care at all, she smiled lightly, and her voice was still as gentle as water: "Yes, you have been together for almost three years, and in the past three years, Jin Cheng has been thinking about letting me and his father recognize you and accept you all the time, you have a common goal and have been working hard for it." Miss Di, if we nod our heads, then you may be happy for a while, and you will be more glue-like, but as you join our family life, those shortcomings in you that were not obvious in the past will gradually become clear, and the gap between your lives will appear significantly, do you think I am right?"
After that phone call, I carefully considered the future of me and Lian Jincheng, and finally had to admit that Lian's mother's words had some truth.
After thinking about it clearly, I broke up with Lian Jincheng for the first time. He reacted very loudly at the time, holding me alive and not letting go, saying that he would not part with me even if he cut off relations with his family, and insisted that I would never leave him.
Later, of course, there was no breakup, and even Jincheng suffered from gains and losses for a while, and every time I had a slightly unhappy look, he would look at me very melancholy, with an expression of fear of being abandoned by me. He also hugged me when he was drunk, and kept shouting that we should always be together.
I never mentioned separation again, even if Lian Jincheng didn't really fall out with his family to marry me, even if I really, really wanted to get married, I always believed that we would one day be able to convince his family and then have a wedding with the blessing of both relatives.
But the reality finally gave me a heavy slap, Lian Jincheng secretly got engaged to a woman with a similar family background while shouting that we should always be together, and half a year later, the woman knew about my existence and came to our company, pointing at my nose in front of the whole company, saying that I seduced her husband and scolded me for being a shameless mistress.
Four years of relationship, finally ended with such a ridiculous ending, but I didn't shed a single tear, that night, Ye Shengyin and I went to the food stall to drink and eat barbecue, the two of them were so drunk that they slapped the table and scolded that men in the world are not good things.
But I got better in a blink of an eye, the scar forgot the pain, and even a family like my family couldn't accept me, how could someone like Lu Xudong marry me for no reason!
No wonder Di Ming knew that when I went on a blind date, I would be so shocked that my jaw was about to fall, I thought I was lucky to go shit, I just lost a big tree, and I climbed a high branch in a blink of an eye.
Now I know that the high branches are easy to climb.
I laughed bitterly, and the two little girls, who were discussing energetically, heard the movement, looked at me with strange expressions, and after a while, got up hand in hand and ran away.
I'm afraid you're taking me for a madman.
I sighed self-deprecatingly, then got up and patted my ass, come on, I'm not going to be embarrassed here.
There is a bus stop in the south square of the Palace of Culture, and I was going to go there to catch a ride home, but before I could get to the place, I was caught by a bar halfway through.
I only go to the bar a handful of times, usually Ye Shengyin takes me with me, and I go to the bar. Even Jincheng took me to it twice, but Lian Jincheng usually took me to the kind of very noisy bar, where the music was deafening, the dancing girls were hot, and there was a crowded hustle and bustle everywhere, and every word had to be attached to the ear and roared.
The one in front of me is the kind of Qing bar that Ye Shengyin and I used to go to, but what attracted my attention was a back in the glass window.
The wall facing the street of the bar is made into a large window of floor-to-ceiling glass, through which all passers-by can see the inside of the window, such as the bar and the singer playing the guitar on the small stage next to the bar.
Although the overall look is not clear because of the lighting, it is also very emotional.
I stared at the back of the plaid shirt sitting at the bar for a long time, and finally gritted my teeth and entered the bar.
The bar is not large, and the overall layout is similar to what you see from the outside, except for a row of high stools around the bar, and there are also small tables with two or three seats.
There weren't many customers, so I picked a spot where I couldn't see the bar too much, ordered a cold beer, and then quietly looked at the back of the guy lying on the bar with his face facing the small stage.
