Chapter Eighty-Seven: Encounter Again
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth month, the city No. 1 middle school is on holiday, and all units are also basically on holiday.
Liao Zexi still has no holiday, there are still a lot of things to deal with before the year, and he can't rest until about the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, although Liao Fanyao is on vacation, but there is a lot of homework assigned down, and it is impossible to really rest, after Xu Wenqing has a holiday, he began to buy New Year's goods, including all kinds of items needed for New Year's greetings after returning to his hometown, etc.
Only Liao Fanmin doesn't have much to do, Liao Fanyao's homework doesn't need him to check anymore, and his academic performance far exceeds him, and Liao Fanyao is the focus of the teacher's attention, so there can't be any missing homework.
Liao Fanmin doesn't have much impression of his grandparents in the countryside, he has almost never been to the countryside since he was reborn for nearly a year, he has followed his parents since he was a child, grew up in the city, and only returned to the countryside during the Chinese New Year, and he doesn't have too many feelings for his relatives in the countryside.
And in Liao Fanmin's impression, the grandparents in the countryside don't seem to be doing very well when dealing with the internal relationship of the family, the father Liao Zexi is the eldest in the family and has taken on too many family obligations, the grandparents are not very satisfied, and the uncle Liao Zebing has received too much love, but he is still not satisfied.
may be because of this reason, my mother Xu Wenqing is not happy in her heart, especially in the years when Liao Zexi was in the army, Xu Wenqing gritted his teeth and insisted on it alone with his two children, but he did not get any help, such an account, I am afraid it will not be easily forgotten.
Every year when they go home for the New Year, Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing don't stay for a long time, that is, they return to the city in two or three days, and Liao Zexi has always been an ordinary cadre in the past few years, and he can't help his hometown, and he has to suffer some complaints when he goes home every year, which makes Liao Zexi reluctant to go home.
It is impossible for Liao Fanmin to intervene and interfere in the affairs of the previous generation, but he feels that such a family relationship is uncomfortable no matter how he looks at it.
After dinner, Liao Fanmin decided to go out for a walk.
It is already the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, and there are still two days to go, and the whole family is going to return to the countryside, according to the arrangement of Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing, they were originally going to go home on the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, and they returned home on the third day of the first lunar month, because Liao Fanyao's study could not be delayed, and the conditions in the countryside were not good, so Liao Fanyao could not do her homework seriously.
Liao Fanmin put forward a suggestion, or return to the countryside on the 28th of the lunar month, go home on the third day of the first lunar month, in the countryside these few days, Liao Fanyao does not always have to do homework, you can take a good rest, you also need to combine work and rest, and the driver of the municipal party committee office will also celebrate the New Year, if people are still picking up and dropping off people in the unit on the 29th of the lunar month, they must have opinions in their hearts.
Liao Fanmin's opinion was adopted, and the whole family returned to the countryside for the New Year after having lunch on the 28th of the lunar month.
The days are short and the nights are long, and before seven o'clock, the sky is almost dark.
The street lights have been turned on, but there are still a lot of people on the street, most of the shops have not closed their stalls, and the time of the lunar month every year is the most important day for them to do business, and the money they earn is almost equivalent to all the income of the rest of the year.
Along the street, Liao Fanmin slowly walked towards the front, without purpose.
The climate is very cold, and a gust of north wind blows, even for people who are still shopping for New Year's goods, their necks are mostly shrunk.
"Xiaoling, I've bought enough New Year's goods."
"Mom, grandparents are celebrating the New Year at our house this year, and we have to prepare more sweets and snacks."
"Don't use so much, grandparents are old, they can't eat these things, buy less, you can save some money, you are studying in Beijing, don't be too economical, no matter how the family has to support you."
"I don't need that much money."
"Silly boy, why don't you use it so much, Mom's whole life is for you...
When a familiar voice came, Liao Fanmin's body trembled slightly, he instinctively wanted to avoid it, unwilling to see these two people, but unfortunately, Xue Chuling had already seen him walking in front.
"Liao Fanmin, are you also shopping, when did you come back?"
"Hello Aunt Ma, Xue Chuling, hello, I've been home for a few days."
"I've been shopping for the past few days, why haven't I seen you."
"Oh, I'm usually at home and rarely go out."
Ma Guihua had no expression on her face, looking at Liao Fanmin, her eyes were full of scrutiny, just now Liao Fanmin said hello, she just nodded her head and did not speak.
It was Xue Chuling, who had a slightly excited look on her face, but she could see that she was restrained, and after going to school in Beijing for half a year, Xue Chuling's temperament had changed slightly, and she looked more elegant.
When Xue Chuling was about to come over and speak, Ma Guihua turned her head to look at Xue Chuling, and her eyes obviously meant to stop.
"Liao Fanmin, where are you going to celebrate the New Year?"
"I'll go back to the countryside the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, when will you start school, if it's convenient, we can ride together, I'm going to transfer in Nanhua City."
"Forget it, our school start time may be about the same, in fact, it is more convenient for you to take the train from Yidu, and you can also buy train tickets quickly in Yidu...
Before Liao Fanmin finished speaking, Ma Guihua spoke.
"That's right, Xiaoling, if you take a train from Nanhua City to Beijing, it's not easy to buy a train ticket, it's a lot more convenient in Yidu, you see your classmates know, you still think it's inconvenient."
Xue Chuling instantly had a look of loss on her face.
When Liao Fanmin was about to turn around and leave, Xue Chuling spoke again.
"Liao Fanmin, the two songs "Two Butterflies" and "I Met You in the Red Dust", are they written by you, I see that the songwriters are all you."
"I wrote it, all of them were written for Yin Jian, Yin Jian participated in the Fan City Singer Grand Prix, won the first place, participated in the Jianghan Provincial TV Singer Grand Prix, and also got the first year, and I wanted to participate in the National TV Singer Grand Prix in May, but I didn't expect that Yin Jian actually released a record."
"You really wrote it, it's so good, you're really amazing, Yin Jian's album, that is, "Nanshan Nan", "Two Butterflies" and "I Met You in the Red Dust" The three songs are good, the three songs are written by you, I see, Yin Jian must thank you well."
Ma Guihua on the side also widened her eyes and looked at Liao Fanmin.
The area of the urban area of Xuanming City is not large, and of course Ma Guihua knows that Liao Fanmin's father Liao Zexi was promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, but this did not arouse much concern to her, after all, her daughter is studying at Peking University, and she must stay in the metropolis in the future, and it is impossible to return to Xuanming City.
The three songs "Nanshannan", "Two Butterflies" and "I Met You in the Red Dust", Ma Guihua also likes to listen to them, and thinks they are very good, the tune is good, and the lyrics are also very good, but "Nanshannan" is too pathetic.
To be able to write these three songs, not to say nice words, the lyrics alone are very good.
"Liao Fanmin, you are still studying, how can you write songs."
"Aunt Ma, I didn't write songs specifically, that is, I usually listened to songs, hummed along, and wrote these songs unintentionally."
Liao Fanmin's performance is very low-key, it's not that he wants to be low-key, but these songs are plagiarized in the first place.
However, such a performance is not simple in the eyes of Ma Guihua and Xue Chuling.
It's a pity that Ma Guihua then spoke, so that a black line almost appeared on Liao Fanmin's forehead.
"Liao Fanmin, you still have to study hard during college, don't do these things that have nothing to do with reading, you see my Xiaoling, after going to school, she is studying, I don't allow her to do other things, especially those loves...
Liao Fanmin didn't even bother to answer, he had learned this kind of philistine mentality, that is, he couldn't look down on others, his own children were the best and the best, and he never knew how to praise others, even if others made extraordinary achievements, there was ruthless denial and suppression between the words.
Besides, there is no clear relationship between Liao Fanmin and Xue Chuling at all.
Xue Chuling's face was a little red, and she looked at Ma Guihua.
"Mom, what are you talking about, Liao Fanmin can write such a beautiful song, it's his ability."
In the face of this boring conversation, Liao Fanmin had no intention of continuing.
"Aunt Ma, Xue Chuling, you are busy, I'm ready to go home."
After speaking, Liao Fanmin turned around and left, with big steps.
Xue Chuling looked at Liao Fanmin's back, her expression was even more lost, the scene in the second semester of the third year of high school, she couldn't forget it soon, and when she went home, she heard the song "I met you in the red dust", which made her think of those things in the second semester of the third year of high school, but Liao Fanmin's words just now were very calm, without a trace of waves, indicating that when Liao Fanmin wrote this song, what he thought of was definitely not her.
"Xiaoling, we're also going home, let me tell you, study hard when you go to college, and find a good job in the future, better than anything else, don't look at Liao Fanmin's ability to write songs now, when you really graduate from college and can't find a good job, then it's nothing, understand."
"Mom, the University of South China is not much worse than Peking University, and Liao Fanmin will graduate in the future, not necessarily worse than me."
"How do you speak, how can Nanhua University be compared with Peking University, don't think about those useless things, study hard, find a good job in the future, Mom still expects to follow you...
Liao Fanmin did not go home directly, but walked in the direction of City No. 1 Middle School.
When he met Xue Chuling just now, he was momentarily excited, but after he spoke, all feelings disappeared, and his emotions became unusually calm, and the moment he saw Xue Chuling, Cheng Yahui's figure appeared in his mind.
It's like this, even if you haven't met for a long time, you don't have much feeling, at most you just remember the previous scenes, as time goes by, those memories that seem sweet will gradually fade away, and eventually disappear into the memory.
