Chapter 141: Farewell
PS: There is one more chapter in the afternoon.
On the second day of the holiday, Wang Qiao went to Huang Yonggui's house for lunch and played basketball with Huang Xiaobo. From his freshman year to his sophomore year, he had a very harmonious relationship with Huang Yonggui's family, the only regret is that the relationship with counselor Chen Gang has not been ideal.
"People pay attention to fate, Chen Gang and I belong to the kind of people who don't fall in love, and we always can't pee a pot. But I am a student, he is a counselor, the status of the two sides is unequal, my fate is directly affected and controlled by him, and it is not good for me through a layer of glass, I must take the initiative to find a way to solve this problem, and I can't treat it negatively. Every time he thought about this question, Wang Qiao felt a headache. People are knives, I am fish, this feeling is very bad. But on the road to politics, everyone has to be a knife and a fish, Wang Qiao has a clear understanding of this, thinking of this, he even has doubts about the choice of politics in the future.
After playing basketball, Wang Qiao returned to the old taste of local cuisine, and after taking a shower, he felt refreshed.
Lu Yifan stood on the stairs between the second and third floors and shouted, "Brother Man, Brother Man." Wang Qiao said, "Come up." I could only hear a few sounds of "kicking, kicking", and Lu Yifan appeared in front of him.
"It's rare that I didn't wear sportswear today." In Wang Qiao's impression, Lu Yifan basically did not wear other clothes except for sportswear and the uniform of the old taste local restaurant, and today he wore an ordinary jacket and short jacket, showing the waist curve, which is both heroic and cool. And there is no shortage of feminine charm.
Lu Yifan grinned and said, "Which woman doesn't love beauty, can't I wear some beautiful clothes." Remember to drop me off at the train station in the evening. Eleven o'clock train. ”
"Why did you buy an eleven o'clock train?"
"You're so stupid to ask the same question again. An eleven p.m. train can save money on hotels. Sleep in the car for the night. I arrived home the next afternoon. ”
Wang Qiao has experienced hard times, and he can understand Lu Yifan very well, and said, "I invite you to dinner tonight?" Lu Yifan asked rhetorically, "What do you want me to eat?" Wang Qiao said: "You can decide." Lu Yifan said happily: "Let me think about it." I'm going to eat sauerkraut tarpon, of course it's best if there is black fish, but unfortunately not. Wang Qiao said: "Another day, when you graduate, I must get a meal of sauerkraut and black fish." Lu Yifan said: "I make one more request, if you want to eat in a private room today, is it okay." Wang Qiao smiled: "What's the difficulty, go to the private room to eat at night." The dishes have been thought of, and Chef Xing's three stunts, boiling fish, choking fried cabbage and air-dried pork ribs, plus the sauerkraut tarpon I made. ”
During the school holidays, the business of the old taste local restaurant was still booming, and Wang Qiao waited until nearly eight o'clock to go to the private room in the corner. He personally went to the kitchen, got a pot of sauerkraut tarpon, and brought it up again.
Lu Yifan sat on a chair with flannel. sighed: "I usually stand here every day to pour water for guests, but today I finally turned over and became the host." Brother Man, get some wine and add some atmosphere. ”
"Can you drink. I have to rush to the night at night. ”
"I'm drinking well, it's okay to drink a little."
"I haven't seen you drink it before."
"Who has ever seen a waiter drink all over his body."
I took half a bottle of Shannan sorghum wine and divided it into two glasses first. Wang Qiao's cup is about three taels, and Lu Yifan is only more than one tael. Lu Yifan took the wine glass. poured the two glasses of wine together, and said, "If Brother Man wants to have a treat, he can't eat more and occupy more." The two of us want to be fair, what's more, I'm a senior sister, and I'm inviting my senior sister to dinner today. ”
Wang Qiao didn't want her to drink more, so he took the wine glass and poured some into his own glass, saying, "Although you are a senior sister, you still have to talk about the rules on the table, how can a man have as much wine as a woman." ”
"Stinky rules." Lu Yifan stopped fighting for wine, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.
After a few sips, the wine in the cup bottomed out, and Lu Yifan went downstairs and came back with half a bottle of wine. Half a bottle of wine is leftover wine for guests, and the people inside the hotel will not dislike this clean leftover wine, or use it to make medicinal wine, or drink it yourself, so as to make the best use of it.
Wang Qiao saw that Lu Yifan was sober and did have a good amount of wine, so he stopped persuading her and accompanied her to drink.
The wine was sad, and Lu Yifan's words were obviously more: "Brother Man, do you think I don't know how to play easily and enjoy my youth happily." My family used to be a well-off family, and my parents both worked in the factory, which had kindergartens, primary schools, and hospitals. Now the factory has failed, both parents have been laid off, and there is no place to live. When I was in high school, the worst time I ate meat was once every three months. ”
With that, she wiped her eyes with her hand.
Wang Qiao said: "No, even in the countryside, you have chickens and ducks at home, and there are fish in the river outside, as long as you are diligent, there is still no big problem if you want to eat meat." My family is in a third-tier factory, and each household has its own vegetable plot. ”
Lu Yifan said: "There is a piece of land in the countryside, and your third-line factories are all built in the mountains, which can be used to cultivate wasteland and grow vegetables." What is the concept of laid-off workers in urban factories, they are completely poor, they have no means of production, and there are many neighbors who are sick and dare not go to the doctor and wait for death at home. In the past, workers had low wages, no savings, factories went bankrupt, and there was nothing to rely on. ”
At first, she was smiling, but at the end she was in tears.
Lu Yifan has been talking to herself, she is very talkative, at this time she opened the chatterbox, and she was even more unhappy, and said: "I want to go back this time to discuss with my family whether to stay in Shannan's major decision, I always wanted to go back to my hometown, and there are even people who are ready to go on a blind date with me, more than once, it is said that he is a successful person." I've been serving dishes for more than half a year, and I finally figured it out, I'm just a little woman, and I don't have the responsibility to carry too many burdens. Blind date, get out of the way. ”
Wang Qiao couldn't help but think of his first girlfriend Yang Ming, who he hadn't thought about for a long time, and said: "Family difficulties are actually not terrible, as long as you work diligently and grit your teeth, you can survive." Zhao Bo didn't have a penny when he opened the video studio, and he borrowed money to open the video studio, although he couldn't make a lot of money, and there was no problem in maintaining his expenses in school. Sister Ai used to be a laid-off worker, and she worked in the kitchen as a bully in order to learn her craft. Most of the dunzi are men, and she is willing to be a dun as a woman, all supported by perseverance. Look at Sister Ai's hand, there are a lot of knife wounds. She is out of the woods now, and her life is getting better and better. ”
Lu Yifan raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said, "I understand everything you said, but it all depends on the accumulation of little by little, and it has to drag on for any year and month." By the time I had the money, maybe my parents would have been finished. Because of this idea, I also had the idea of taking a shortcut before, and promised to go on a blind date with that successful person this holiday. Less than ten years of struggle, what can I lose, what I lose is youth and dreams, no matter who I marry, youth will pass, and dreams are worth a few dollars! People are a stinky skin, and you don't need to take it too seriously. ”
Wang Qiao didn't want to see Lu Yifan's slightly cynical expression, and said seriously: "How much money does your family need, you need to exchange your youth and dreams." If you really need money, you can figure it out together. ”
Under Wang Qiao's forced gaze, the cynical expression on Lu Yifan's face slowly disappeared, and he said: "You haven't tasted a family that sinks to the bottom and is looked down upon, without any hope of change." At present, our family owes 65,000 yuan for medical expenses, and we owe more than 20,000 yuan for the dilapidated and old house we bought the unit. My dad used to work in the workshop and got silicosis and was waiting for money to be treated. There are grandparents in the countryside, although they are in good health, but anyone may get sick and go to the hospital. The eldest brother and sister-in-law were laid off at the same time, and when they thought of these things, they felt that there were fifty mountains on their bodies. ”
Detailing the pain of the whole family struggling in the predicament, Lu Yifan finally cried in front of Wang Qiao. After crying for a while, she raised her head, wiped her tears with a tissue, and said, "What's the matter with you, you made me cry." When I got to Shannan University, I hadn't cried yet. ”
Wang Qiao said: "Just cry, cry, there is no need to hold on." ”
Lu Yifan said: "If it weren't for you, I would have to go on a blind date this time." Now I accept your advice and try to stay in Shannan. Wait to stabilize your footing, take your parents over, even if you do a little business, you can still get by. ”
Wang Qiao gave a thumbs up and said, "Your idea is correct, and the operability is strong, and you should be able to succeed." ”
Lu Yifan pursed his lips again and said, "This is just an assumption, and it is far from reality." Falling leaves return to the roots, this is the idea of most old people, and there are two old people, whether my parents are willing to leave their hometown and come to Shannan, is still unknown. And most of them don't want to drag me down. ”
The difficulties encountered by Lu Yifan's family were very common in heavy industrial cities, where the original social organization was hit hard, and the new social organization had not yet been established, and an entire generation of people had suffered a heavy blow. Theoretically, this is the throes of social reform, and it is an unbearable and painful experience for each specific family.
Wang Qiao wanted to persuade Lu Yifan again, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips. Happy families are all similar, unhappy families are different, and persuasion is difficult to change the heavy blow to the heart.
At nine o'clock, after drinking a bottle of wine, Wang Qiao drank three to four taels at most, and most of them were rushed by Lu Yifan. Lu Yifan's alcohol consumption is really good, except that he is a little excited, his mind is clear, and he doesn't feel drunk at all.
After drinking, Wang Qiao slept on the bed and rested a little, and went downstairs on time at ten o'clock, Lu Yifan had already packed his bags and waited in the hall on the ground floor, his face was normal, and he couldn't tell that he had cried once when he was drinking.
"It's cold on a motorcycle this day, and I'll wrap this scarf around my neck and face."
Lu Yifan took the scarf and looked at it, and said deliberately: "This is from my girlfriend?" Warm card? ”
Wang Qiao said: "It was sent by a girl, but it has nothing to do with my girlfriend, it's my sister Wang Xiao." ”
Lu Yifan saw Wang Xiao, didn't joke anymore, and carefully wrapped his neck and face with a scarf.
When the motorcycle started, the cold wind hit immediately, fortunately, there was a scarf to protect his face, otherwise Lu Yifan would definitely be blown into a popsicle. She habitually hugged Wang Qiao's waist and pressed her face against the broad, sturdy male back. At this time, she felt particularly safe.
