Chapter 62: Confession I
Chapter 62: Confession (I)
On August 25, 1989, the Xie family moved to Q City. Xie Jun didn't greet too many people, only a few good neighbors.
In fact, the moving neighbors are also a little suspicious, such as first of all, their chickens, ducks and pigs were moved to the tricycle and I don't know where they got it.
Dong Lihua's mouth was tight, and she only said that she didn't want to feed her, so she found someone to sell it to the city.
In fact, at the back of the store, the original layout of the restaurant really has a place to raise pigs.
The Xie family's newly rented house, the front store bypasses through the back door. It is a small square courtyard, and the first two and a half rooms on the left are opened as the large kitchen of the hotel. The stove and exhaust are all very good. It's a pity that the landlord didn't give it to the refrigerator, and the Xie family didn't need it much. In the kitchen, there are a lot of cabinets.
Zhang Cuilian and Dong Lihua can be regarded as having a place to place the two of them in the dried vegetables. In the kitchen, there are several bags of white flour, rice, and millet, and several large barrels of soybean oil. Dried vegetables were piled up in the lockers, and there were all kinds of pots and pans.
Looking at the bunches of red peppers and golden corn hanging outside the window. It's really a bit of a bumper harvest, except for the sore shoulders, there is nothing to dissatisfaction with.
On the left side of the yard is a large pigsty, as well as a kennel and a row of chicken racks. The meals that people couldn't eat in the restaurant were fed to the pigs. The Xie family doesn't have this condition, but at least there are really two pigs in the family who are not fat or thin. The chickens also rushed to the chicken rack, except for the kennel without an owner, and the small yard was full of anger all at once.
The back row is also two large three rooms, and on the left is the house where the owner's family originally lived. As soon as you enter the door, you will be in the aisle, and there is a door on the left hand side to enter the house, which is an ordinary Northeast-style layout. There is a washstand at the door and a TV cabinet next to it. On the wall facing the door was an old-fashioned half-tall cabinet. Facing the window is a large kang that can accommodate several people. At the end of the back hallway is the kitchenette for both cooking and heating.
On the right is a small hotel that has been renovated for passing accommodation drivers, and there are no requirements. There were eight single beds in total, and now they were all put away, and the room was empty.
Near the dog house next to the vacant house is a dry toilet. And the huge courtyard is not empty. A vegetable garden was created, but a row of flowers was planted on both sides of the red brick aisle.
The whole house, this vegetable garden is what Dong Lihua is most satisfied with. There is running water and pressure wells, you can grow vegetables and raise poultry, and you can open your door to do business.
Although the rent is a little more expensive, Dong Lihua can still see that this place is definitely better than the family's business.
By the time Xie Youji and Ji Hong got the news and rushed over, Xie Jun's family of three had already finished moving home.
At the beginning of the school year on September 1, Zhang Cuilian is already a sophomore. Looking at the young faces of batches, I can't help but sigh that the years are unforgiving.
To her surprise, three people in the dormitory when they came back from school publicly stated that they had become famous.
Wang Doudou, who is full of freckles and books, Li Man, who is dark, and Ji Yao, who is squeamish, all have objects.
Wang Doudou's target is a railway worker who was introduced by his family and also works in the city. I'm older, and my family's conditions are not good, but I took over my mother's class and had a serious job.
Li Man's object was not introduced by others, but his high school classmates. The relationship between the two turned out to be good, and it would be good if Li Wei was matched in the middle during the summer vacation.
Ji Yao's object is the best among all people, and the family is rich and powerful. It is said that the man's father is a village chief, his mother is a teacher, and the only son in the family has four older sisters who are very favored.
"See?" Ji Yao proudly showed off his gold necklace to everyone: "This is what my partner bought for me, a 24k gold necklace!" ”
After speaking, he smelled Wang Doudou and Li Man with a curious face: "What did you buy for you?" ”
Wang Doudou was already full of anger, and then shrugged his shoulders and honestly admitted: "Nothing!" ”
Li Man didn't even think about asking for things from the housekeeper, and glanced at Li Wei and frowned: "It's not a matter yet, I want money!" ”
Ji Yao figured it out, she was originally a jealous girl. Why bother to hide your light for the sake of others! Besides, Ding Rongrong has gone abroad, why can't she show off.
She rolled her eyes and looked disgusted: "You don't understand this, do you?" People give money to show that they value you. The first time I met my partner, his mother gave me a hundred dollars. If their family didn't have this attitude, I wouldn't have dealt with anyone else! ”
Ji Yao was full of energy: "Later, the two of us began to deal with each other, and he always led me out to eat, visit the park and watch movies." Oops, I'm annoyed. ”
Wang Doudou stupidly couldn't hear that this was showing off, and still chased after him and asked, "Then why did he buy you a gold necklace?" Why is their family so rich? Are you engaged? ”
Ji Yao sneered: "I said that I started school, so he bought me a gold necklace." Besides, who doesn't buy something good for their object now? Do you understand the identity of the relatives? ”
After speaking, she looked at Zhang Cuilian and asked sarcastically: "Aren't you always communicating with a soldier?" That's what you're for, right? What did he buy you? ”
Zhang Cuilian did not deny it, and was straightforward: "How much allowance can he have as a soldier?" Besides, I can't take care of people reaching out for things! What haven't you done yet, but you're worried about other people's things? ”
Originally, this was quite pertinent, but the speaker had no intention of listening. Ji Yao's face turned white and he got up to get angry, but suddenly thought of something and laughed again.
She shook her head proudly: "You're right, we can't be cheap." But if it's one thing for you to reach out, it's another thing for someone else to buy it for you. Are you right? ”
Zhang Cuilian doesn't like to listen to this kind of sour and smelly words. It's not that she hasn't had these things, and in her eyes, her mother-in-law has a lot of good things in her hands. Especially a piece of family heirloom jadeite, the color is transparent and emerald green, and it is worth at least 100,000 yuan.
Can she take a fancy to these things? What she is most anxious about now is whether Gu Zhicheng can take a fancy to her!
Gu Zhicheng has been absent from the team for a long time because of the training camp, and when he came back from the training camp this time, he hurriedly went to find out if there was a letter from him.
Holding three letters in her hand, all from Zhang Cuilian, she was excited. Regardless of the oil paint and stinky sweat on his body, he looks like he is sitting on the bed.
Zhang Cuilian said in the first letter that her friend Ding Rongrong went abroad. Between the lines, there is a strong reluctance, as well as admiration and envy for her courage to pursue her dreams.
In the second letter, he said his views on romance novels with the editor-in-charge. The details are not described much, but it is said that this editor in charge is his own senior brother, which is very fateful. and asked Gu Zhicheng about his thoughts on his writing style, and hoped that he would give more advice. At the end of the letter, Zhang Cuilian has no scruples about describing a farce that broke out between her and her biological parents.
In fact, Zhang Cuilian also gave the current Gu Zhicheng a preventive shot, letting him know that he is not watching people put dishes, let alone having no conscience and not being filial. I can't bear it, and I don't want to live in injustice and oppression.
In the third letter, Zhang Cuilian's tone was much lighter and happier. She told Gu Zhicheng that her adoptive father and adoptive mother had moved to the city to live with her. Later, after school, she can go home and live.
Gu Zhicheng put away the letter and frowned. He knows more and more about Zhang Cuilian's life, but he doesn't know more and more about this girl.
Her world seems to be getting wider and wider, and her life is getting more and more fulfilling. Two people are like two parallel lines that cannot be intertwined, each with its own circle that cannot be blended.
"Why haven't you washed yet?" Jin Wen pushed open the door and saw that Gu Zhicheng was still sitting on the bed, and there was no clean place on his body, so he couldn't help but ask.
But when he saw the letter in his hand, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, my sister-in-law has written to you!" ”
When Gu Zhicheng heard this sister-in-law, it was like drinking a big sip of cold mung bean water on a dog day, which was called a comfortable ironing.
It's just that there are some things that he can't understand with his current knowledge. He looked at Jin Wen and frowned and asked, "I have something I want to ask you, you are a soldier. The outstanding students of the school were born in intellectual families. ”
Jin Wen waved his hand: "Gotta got, hey, hey, hey." Don't put a high hat on me, just say anything! ”
Gu Zhicheng did not hide it, he knew his shortcomings and trusted this knowledgeable and ambitious friend in front of him. told Jin Wen about Zhang Cuilian's situation and the situation in the second letter.
Jin Wen hugged his arms with a cold face, thought for a while and said, "I don't know what I said, can you understand it." The situation of sister-in-law is actually very dangerous! ”
Hearing Jin Wen say that it was dangerous, Gu Zhicheng became nervous: "What do you mean?" Do you think her family will hurt her? ”
Jin Wen shook his head: "Do you know how important adolescence is to a person?" ”
Gu Zhicheng frowned, he was no stranger to these three words. I've read it in books, but I'm just a little repulsed by this sensitive word.
Seeing that Gu Zhicheng was a little puzzled, Jin Wen said seriously: "She had a very happy childhood, this is what you said, right?" Her adoptive parents were very nice to her, right? But one day, suddenly someone told you that it was all fake. All the people in this world will leave you. What would you think? ”
Gu Zhicheng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Jin Wen sighed: "All the children who were sent away by their parents, all the children who were kicked around by their parents after the divorce, will not think that it is the fault of their parents." They will feel that they are not good enough, so their parents will not want him. ”
Gu Zhicheng thought for a while: "So when she grows up, Zhang Cuilian should endure everything she can to cater to her parents?" But she has to have her own family after all? ”
Jin Wen nodded: "Yes, the problem is if her biological parents tell her." In this world, adoptive parents who support you as if you were their own child are not sincere. So what is a husband? A fertility machine that expects you to be a free babysitter to serve an old snack and drink Lazar. What would you do? ”
Gu Zhicheng shuddered when he heard this, but he thought of Zhang Cuilian's fair face full of hopeful eyes. He was a little uncertain: "But why did she have a conflict with her family?" It's different from what you said, huh? ”
Jin Wen smiled happily: "This is the second point I want to say, my sister-in-law's adolescence came too late." She began to rebel against oppression, she knew right and wrong, and she had to know how to avoid what hurt her. ”
Jin Wen suddenly became serious: "But if you want to be her husband, you have to be clear." Such a poor woman can't stand the slightest hurt. She was abandoned and deceived by her biological parents, and finally she could have someone to go with for the rest of her life. If you don't make a choice, it will be like a blunt knife to cut flesh for her, and life is better than death! ”
