Chapter 104: Chinese New Year (Part I)
According to Migu, the dress belonged to her daughter Sumi, and I wore it even more beautifully. However, why did Ling Ye have a strong dislike for this dress? I still have a question, Sasha, from her expression, I can clearly see that she knows why, but she chooses to hide it from me, which makes me very disappointed.
The relationship between people is really not as simple as I imagined.
Because, everyone has their own purpose.
I watched Ling Ye take Sasha's hand and walk onto the dance floor, Sasha's face was filled with sweetness that I hadn't seen for a long time. My heart is complicated, my emotions are surging, and I don't know whether to be angry or sad. I said to Zhao Tao: "I'm a little unwell, you can help me talk to Ling Ye in a while, I'll go home first." ”
"That's not good! The annual meeting is about to escape, and Zhu Ran will still be looking for you to drink in a while! Zhao Tao stopped.
I dropped the phrase: "Whatever they think, I don't care." ”
I picked up my dress and fled.
……
Perhaps, it is wise to stay away from the land of right and wrong.
I hugged my knees, sat on my small bed, stared through the glass window, and gazed at the glitzy city, all kinds of expectations in my heart were about to come to an end, because the Spring Festival was coming.
……
Beijing West Railway Station is crowded.
"Mom!" I ran over to a woman in her 50s with a gentle and charitable appearance, put my arms around her neck, and said excitedly, "I miss you to death!" "My daughter!" The woman had tears in her eyes.
This dignified-looking half-aged is my dearest mother, Li Hui. The one standing next to her. The bald old man who keeps pursing his lips and smiling, but doesn't say a word, is the most beloved father. Han Zhi.
I held my father's arm with one hand and my mother's white and tender little arm with the other, and walked happily in the crowd, just like when my parents took me to the amusement park to play the merry-go-round in my childhood.
The family of three came to my rented apartment in the second ring road, talking and laughing.
"Girl! You live in such a big room by yourself! Li Hui put her luggage away. While looking at the room.
"Of course not!" I carried all my mother's luggage on the floor to my house. I pointed to my room and said, "Mom! This is my room, the one you see is the room of my roommate Lu Yang. She went back to her hometown for the Chinese New Year, and specially vacated the room for you to live in. ”
"Huh! This kid is pretty good, look at the house is clean, it's quite suitable for me to live with your dad. Han's mother walked into Lu Yang's room. Take a closer look.
"Yes!" I poured a pot of hot water for my dad sitting on the couch. He walked up to his mother and said, "She also cooks well, and your daughter is counting on her as a cook in Beijing." ”
"Huh! Come on, let Mom see if you're fat. My mother touched me from head to toe, pinching the flesh on my face and the skin on my waist for a while, and muttering, "This is not fat!" ”
"How can I be fat! No matter how fat you are, your daughter won't be able to get married. I pouted and sat down next to my dad on the couch. Turn on the TV.
"Who said my daughter couldn't get married! Much longer signs, like me. Hahaha! Dad was laughing as he drank the hot water. I know that his heart is full of joy, and he hasn't seen my daughter for more than a year. In his hometown, he must be worried about his life. However, my dad is an introvert and never reveals the emotions in his heart.
At this time, a piece of news was being broadcast on TV: Beijing's annual temple fair is being held hotly, and men, women, children, adults and children in the capital gather at the temple fair, all for this lively New Year......
The temple fair in Beijing is one of the most distinctive folk activities. It is said that the shadows of old Beijing can be found inside. Since my father and mother came all the way to Beijing to accompany me for the New Year, we must not miss the temple fair.
My mom watched the TV and said, "This is the Beijing temple fair!" It's so hilarious to watch! ”
"Yes! When are we going to go to the temple fair? "I saw the sparkle in my mother's eyes, and I guessed that she wanted to go.
"Ming'er! Let's rest for the day. "My dad spoke.
"Okay!" I happily agreed. Don't look at my mother's daily thoughts, but my dad is the real head of the family, as long as he speaks, none of us dare to refute it. This is also the balance of our family of three, and we always have to listen to my father's ideas when things happen.
……
The next day, in the morning, the temple fair in Ditan Park.
The sky was blue, the white clouds were as thin as paper, and the sun was gently shining on the smiling faces of pedestrians. Pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, in an endless stream, so lively.
"The temple fair in Beijing is so lively! Han Yan, look, there is such a big sugar gourd! My mom excitedly pointed to a sugar gourd stall on the side of the street.
I followed the direction of her finger and saw that a red sugar gourd could be more than two meters long.
Suddenly, the back of a tall man came into view, the Versace black winter jacket was so familiar, could it be ...... I was looking carefully, this man turned around suddenly, and met my eyes, it was Ling Ye! My face was hot.
We were speechless at each other, and we hadn't said a word since the U.S.-China Annual Meeting. I also heard Zhao Tao talk about the situation that night: Ling Ye was very angry when he learned that I left the scene without permission, and scolded "unorganized and undisciplined deserters".
I suspect that after that night, his impression of me must have been greatly diminished. From his occasional glances in recent days, it is not difficult for me to see the current of thought surging in his heart, and in addition to being dissatisfied with me, he is also a little disdainful and despised.
I really don't know how that dress offended him.
However, I was originally going to be his dance partner, but I was poured cold water on the spot at the drinking party, and I felt so lost!
"Han Yan! Who do you see? My mom asked.
"My boss!" I said without thinking.
"It's handsome! My daughter has a vision! My mom said, a smile on her face.
I saw Ling Ye look at this side, nod politely to my mother, and smile politely.
"Oops! Old man, look at that handsome guy, it's our daughter's boss. This Chinese New Year, he came out to visit the temple fair alone, we met, and we had to be enthusiastic, so I invited him to come to our house for a light meal, which was also considered to pave the way for our daughter! ”
I'm in a hurry! I thought, what kind of psychology is my mother, how can she see my leader, and invite people to come to the house for dinner, what kind of thing is this life! Oops! Dad, don't mess with my mom.
Who knew that my father agreed as soon as possible, and he clapped his hands and said: "Old woman, I absolutely support your idea, we have to be good for my daughter!" ”
"Don't!" I hurriedly dissuaded these two complacent old fools.
"Girl! Now the workplace is about connections, you have to listen to us about this, you are embarrassed to say it, just let your mother talk and make peace. My dad persuaded me and pushed my mom, "Old woman, go quickly!" Let's be enthusiastic. ”
"I'll go!" Mother Han greeted Ling Ye warmly.
I looked at my mother's happy back, I really want to dig a hole in the ground and plunge into it now, I can't afford to lose this person!
A few minutes later, my mother and Ling Ye walked towards this side one after the other, and my father said, "Your mother is better than you!" One simple thing is to invite the leader to have a meal at home, you don't dare to open your mouth, how can you gain a foothold in Beijing in the future! ”
"Dad! You're thinking too simply! I furrowed my eyebrows and pouted.
"Isn't it that simple, and how complicated it can be."
I couldn't resist my father, so I had to deal with it in silence.
Ling Ye put his hands in his pockets and walked with his head down, preoccupied.
I also lowered my head, my cheeks were hot, and I kicked the snow on the ground one by one, complaining about my parents. What do they think, they have to invite Ling Ye home for dinner, how embarrassing it is to talk when they meet for a while. However, Ling Ye shouldn't have agreed, he is so rich, how could he be willing to come to my house for dinner.
"Hello uncle!" Ling Ye nodded to my father.
"Hello hello! Hello Leader! My dad held Ling Ye's hand and nodded. When I saw my dad like this, I was ashamed. In Beijing's private enterprises, it is still popular to be a cadre of government agencies.
"Uncle, I'll come to say hello to you, welcome you and your aunt to Beijing for the New Year, but the meal is free! I have more things to do in a moment. Ling Ye said.
"Yes, yes!" I nodded hurriedly, "The leader is very busy!" Forget about eating today, don't invite him again, Mom and Dad. I said.
My mom stepped forward and pushed me, "You kid, why do you talk like that!" It's so ignorant! Mr. Ling, this is the New Year, you see that you are visiting the temple fair here alone, it is really better to go to our house. We don't know how to cook a big meal, but we want to have a lively New Year, cook a few home-cooked dishes, cook a few dumplings, and have a New Year's flavor. ”
A hint of emotion flashed in Ling Ye's eyes, and I guessed that he was probably alone in Beijing for the New Year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no one to eat with, which was really miserable.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at him sadly.
Probably because of my mother's kindness, Ling Ye nodded and agreed, maybe he wanted to find a place to celebrate the New Year.
"Okay! Let's go home and make dumplings now! "My mom was pulling my dad and leaving. I stopped them, "You go back by yourselves and leave your daughter here?" ”
"You are here to accompany the leader for a walk, we will call you after making dumplings!" The two old men said that, walking like flying, leaving me and Ling Ye in the crowd in embarrassment.
Ling Ye and I looked at each other without saying a word, very embarrassed.
All around, the shouts of the hawkers were incessant, and the noise of the crowd buzzed. I looked around for a while, and Ling Ye's face for a while, and he looked left and right unnaturally. We were like two familiar strangers, out of place in the hilarious crowd.
At this time, my parents rushed back again, pulled Ling Ye and said, "We are really confused! Mr. Ling, go to our house now! The dumplings wrapped in the Chinese New Year's Eve last year are still in the refrigerator, full of them! There is no need to cash at all. ”
Ling Ye tugged at the two old men, and walked forward stiffly.
I awkwardly followed them, happy and sad at the same time. (To be continued......)
