Chapter 10: Sleepless Nights
Ask for recommendations and collections; Collections, recommendations; I recommend it and collect it!! It is said that this one is very spiritual
Before opening the second envelope, Zhao Yili already knew whose letter it was, because this handwriting was very familiar.
Recalling the half-day time he spent with Xiangning, Zhao Yili's psychology was full of sweetness, maybe this is what people often say about the feeling of first love?
After pulling out the letter, it is the familiar scent of orchids, in this era, people will use more special stationery of a certain unit, rather than the scented letterpaper in front of them, the large-scale marketization of scented letterheads and greeting cards should be around 90 years, so the stationery used by Xiangning in front of him also seems to indicate that in Yanjing, Xiangning's home is not an ordinary family.
The content begins with the same sentence again: "Little nerd, are you okay?" ”
Like a bolt of lightning, the memory floodgates in Zhao Yili's mind were opened in an instant, and the scenes of the first acquaintance with Xiangning were presented in front of him like a slideshow, this feeling, in the experience of the previous life, seemed to have never been, that is to say, Zhao Yili's previous life was really a failure in his emotional life, no wonder he got married so late and was so unfortunate after marriage, but today, Zhao Yili actually figured out that his original personality and way of doing things were replaced by any other woman, Maybe there is no happiness at all.
After living again, I realized that there are thousands of reasons for misfortune, and there is only one path to happiness.
As in Tolstoy's novel: Anna. Karenina says, "Happy people are alike, and unhappy people are unhappy in their own way." The meaning of this sentence is that the right and reasonable things are similar, while the wrong and misguided things are very different, just like the road to the village, there is only one road, and there are many small forks in the road that extend from the side in different directions.
The gist of Xiang Ning's letter was to apologize for the last hurried farewell, and at the same time hoped that the two of them would become pen pals and establish daily contact, and asked, The tunic sent last time must be a good fit, after all, my sister is professional in this regard.
Reading this, Zhao Yili raised his head, in the class at this time, there was silence everywhere, only to hear Mr. Meng immersed in a certain work, and the students were also fascinated by these folklore, the class bell rang and did not end, but at everyone's insistence, the class dragged on for another 8 minutes, so that the time left for the toilet was only 2 minutes. In the end, Mr. Meng put away the folding fan in his hand, and collected the folding fan of "the first pass in the world", and after class, everyone was busy going to the toilet for convenience.
And Chen Xiaoxiao didn't go, but followed the sound to the vicinity of Zhao Yili's seat, and finally found the source of the orchid fragrance, smiled weirdly, and ran back to the seat and muttered to Si Shuangshuang at the same table.
Speaking of Chen Xiaoxiao, it can be regarded as the number one person in the fifth class, a member of the study committee, a jack of all trades, and all kinds of gossip in the school, almost all of which come from this person, hearing the judgment of Chen Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yili actually has a pen pal in Yanjing! From the analysis of the orchid-scented letterhead, it was written by a mysterious girl, this is a big explosive news, Zhao Ban, not only has special enrollment and excellent basketball skills, but also has a mysterious female pen pal from Yan Jing like a plank road, is this a coincidence? For a while, there was another storm in the fifth class, and information was flying all over the sky.
Today is Friday, and there is no main class after the second self-study class, so Zhao Yili took 4 remittance slips, [why four remittance slips, because the postal personal remittance in 86 years has a rule that each remittance cannot exceed 50,000 yuan,] and a letter of introduction from the village, and came to the post office in the city, ready to take out the remittance.
Where did the letter of introduction come from, it turned out that when Zhao Yili sold special items last time, he did two in the village, and he used one at that time, and this time he happened to have one to spare.
However, there was a little problem when withdrawing money, because there was no appointment in advance, at the withdrawal window of the post office, the salesman asked Zhao Yili to make an appointment to withdraw money, that is to say, only one remittance slip can be withdrawn on the same day, and at the same time make an appointment for the next day, then two remittance slips can be withdrawn the next day, and all can be taken out on the third day. Although you can't withdraw all the cash you need today, you can deposit the rest of the money into this passbook, and once you have the passbook, you can withdraw the money you need after the next day.
Considering that he was not in a hurry to use this money for a while, he put forward 1,000 yuan in cash, and deposited the balance in postal savings, because the next day was a weekend, Zhao Yili bought some non-staple foods that his sister Zhao Xiaoke likes to eat, bought some soybean flour for his parents, took the bus back home, and returned home.
Seeing her brother go home, her sister Zhao Xiaoke was naturally very excited, as soon as she saw her brother coming back, she took her brother's hand and was unwilling to let go for a moment, pulling her brother to look at her homework in the past few days, her mouth was like popcorn, and she kept talking along the way.
Seeing that the relationship between the little brothers is so good, her mother Xu Lan is happy in her heart, while walking to the kitchen, she put on an apron and began to cook dinner, knowing that Zhao Yili will definitely go home today, in the morning Xu Lan took out the money that Zhao Yili left her family last time, and asked Zhao's father to go to the two catties of meat, and also bought some ribs, ready to make up for the little brothers at night, after all, Zhao Yili and Zhao Xiaoke are both growing their bodies, how can they not keep up with nutrition? Although Zhao's father, who bought the meat, came back and muttered for a while, why the price of pork and fish in this town has risen again, this year,
Seeing his mother busy, Zhao Yili also rolled up his sleeves and began to work, he has been learning cooking since he was a child from his mother, and many times he cooks for adults, this time Xu Lan did not let his son cook, Zhao Yili burned firewood while teasing his sister with snacks, and told some interesting things in school to the mother.
Dinner was made quickly, and under the slightly dim light, the family of four sat happily eating together, looking at the pieces of meat and braised pork ribs that could not be held in the bowl soon, Zhao Yili, who smiled bitterly, while giving it to his sister, silently felt the long-lost sense of happiness, which had not been felt for a long time.
In his last life, after joining the work, he rarely went home to visit his parents, and devoted himself to his career. Later, his career development was hindered, and he didn't improve for a long time, and he felt that he didn't have the face to go home to face his relatives, and his parents often brought his sister to see him, and many times, because they were too far away, he gave up.
After eating, my sister went back to her room to sleep when she was tired from playing during the day. Drinking the slightly oily boiled water that had just been boiled in the cauldron, Zhao Yili felt warm in his heart again. He put down the water cup in his hand, took out the postal passbook that he had done during the day, and gently and solemnly handed it to his parents.
"This is"
Zhao Qing was a little stunned, but Xu Lan was quick, so she took it and looked at it, "Huh?" Is this a deposit slip from the post office? Who's it, Zhao Yili? Hey, Stone, did you make this passbook yourself? ”
Xu Lan is still a little unaccustomed to Zhao Yili's tongue twister after changing his name, so at home and when there are no outsiders, opening his mouth is Zhao Yili's former nickname - stone.
"Dad, come and see, how much is this?" The light is indeed a little dim, in order to save, the home does not use too high power fluorescent bulbs, 25 watts of light, for a 50-meter room is indeed a little dark, but it is still possible to illuminate the number on a passbook, in fact, Xu Lan has never seen so much money, 199 back, there are three 0s, Zhao Dad took the passbook, carefully counted the back 0: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, this is - 190,000!" "199,000 yuan!!"
After finally seeing the numbers on the passbook, the two of them were stunned all of a sudden, and looked at Zhao Yili suspiciously, Xu Lan asked in surprise: "Stone, you tell your mother the truth, what are you doing, how can you have so much money?" Zhao's father was calm enough, although he didn't speak, but his eyes looked at his son hesitantly, although he knew his son's character, but although such a huge sum of money was in front of him, Zhao Qing had a feeling of unsteadiness and waited for his son's explanation.
"This matter" Zhao Yili scratched his head and grinned: "This money is earned by me for writing songs, and I come from an upright way, no, there is also a company's income certificate here." And, to be honest, this money is not the final income figure, and when the record is released after a while, there will be a follow-up share of income. After speaking, he took out the income certificate specially issued by Luo Dake entrusted to the Gangcheng Music Factory, and looked at the red seal and content on the document, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were relieved.
My heart is steady, but my mood is even more excited.
Xu Lan hugged her son in her arms, and the tears of excitement couldn't help but flow down anymore, Zhao Qing also touched her son's head with one hand, and the old tears of relief were horizontal, the beauty in her heart, I didn't expect my son to have such a large income at a young age, could it be that my old Zhao family's ancestral grave was smoking? When I went to the grave this year, I said that I would burn more paper for my ancestors, well, that's it.
Seeing that the emotions of the second elder gradually calmed down, Zhao Yili told his parents about his little music dream, and repeatedly promised that he would never delay his studies, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother completely put their hearts down, seeing that the time was very late, Zhao Yili went back to the room to sleep, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the second elder of the Zhao family.
