Chapter 64: Confession (II)

"The last train is at 5:40, and we will arrive at the city at 8 o'clock." The old man looked at Zhang Cuilian strangely: "Are you from the old Shao family?" Are you going back so late? ”

Zhang Cuilian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I still have to go to class!" ”

The old man glanced at his watch and frowned: "Oh, the bus stop is far away." Wait a minute, I'll drive you in a carriage. It's half past five, I'm afraid I'm going to have to hurry! ”

The old man walked a few steps briskly and pulled over the carriage. Greeted Zhang Cuilian to get into the carriage and ran all the way to the station. Zhang Cuilian sat in the bumpy carriage, and there were too many things in her heart that she couldn't understand.

A person she doesn't know is willing to lend a helping hand to her. Why can my relatives bully me again and again?

Is this because she is too bad and easy to bully, or is she entrusted to a Tai Chi family?

Fortunately, with the help of the old man, Zhang Cuilian caught the last train and returned to Q City. got out of the car with a wooden face and returned home. At this time, Lao Xie's repair shop had not yet closed the door, and the two of them were still working in the light.

Seeing Zhang Cuilian getting off the minibus, her face was full of doubts: "Where did you go?" How do you get out of this car? ”

Zhang Cuilian sighed: "Oh, it's a long story. I haven't eaten at home, I've been hungry all day! ”

Dong Lihua hurriedly went to order a bowl of noodles for Zhang Cuilian, and Xie Jun also knew that Zhang Cuilian would not go home suddenly if she had nothing to do.

Quickly packed up his tools, washed his hands and followed him into the house. Zhang Cuilian sat in Xie Jun and Dong Lihua's hut, eating noodles while helplessly telling about today's thrilling day.

Hearing that the old man of the Shao family was gone, Dong Lihua empathized and sighed: "Our family should actually go to the funeral, how can we say that there is still Cuilian in the middle!" ”

Xie Jun pouted: "The benevolence of the woman, didn't you see what the old lady bullied Cuilian into?" I think the old Zhang family and the old Shao family won't be able to go in the future, no matter what happens! ”

Zhang Cuilian nodded, and made the later events clear, of course, erasing the experience of the fourth aunt Shao Mei slapping herself. It's better to be honest with your parents than for them to hear from other people's mouths in the future.

Instead of letting them know in the future and be afraid, it is better to tell them the truth now.

Xie Jun and his wife were speechless, and they really couldn't understand whether this family's brain was short of something.

"Oh, okay!" Dong Lihua patted Zhang Cuilian on the shoulder: "In the future, we will know what kind of people they are, so let's just not have more contact with them!" ”

looked at the hanging bell hanging on the wall again, and said to Zhang Cuilian: "It's been a day, hurry back to the house and sleep." I'll have to get to class tomorrow morning! ”

Zhang Cuilian lying on the kang turned over and over, and couldn't figure out what was going on in this family! couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that in my previous life, what did I do to make them retaliate against me?" ”

But in his previous life, he was oppressed by them and didn't dare to speak up. It's not so much that I can't live with them, but that I can't live with the Gu family.

Speaking of the Gu family, Zhang Cuilian began to muttered again: "I always feel that there is something in my heart!" Hiss! What did I forget? He turned over, confused: "Forgot something?" ”

When she woke up in the morning, Zhang Cuilian still couldn't remember, but she knew that she must have forgotten something. But the more I think about it, the more I can't remember it.

During the meal, Dong Lihua steamed zucchini egg shrimp skin buns, and Zhang Cuilian drank spinach soup while eating buns. My mind began to filter the big things I had to do recently.

"The manuscript is written on time, it can be delivered, and this is fine. The homework has been handed in, and the exam is still a few days away. What did you forget... "Xie Jun eats quickly, and after a few mouthfuls of buns, he goes out to work.

When he went out, he looked at Zhang Cuilian's unyielding appearance, and couldn't help but remind: "Then think about it, is there something big this month?" ”

Zhang Cuilian tilted her head: "September? Oops, what's the big deal in September... Ah! ”

Dong Lihua was startled by Zhang Cuilian's scream, and asked curiously, "Got it figured?" ”

Zhang Cuilian slapped her thigh: "Oops, I remembered." After speaking, he stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his mouth, puffed out his mouth and said, "Mom, I won't eat it, I have to go!" ”

Dong Lihua hurriedly grabbed her: "Drink another bowl of soup, oops, there is still enough time." Don't choke! ”

Zhang Cuilian waved her hand at Dong Lihua with her bag on her back: "Mom, I have to go." ”

Dong Lihua frowned: "Why don't you take some buns?" Bring some to your classmates? ”

Zhang Cuilian nodded: "Okay, just bring four or five in a while!" ”

Dong Lihua really gave Zhang Cuilian and took away the rest of the buns. And everyone in the dormitory also took advantage of the fact that the teacher had not yet come, and they all divided up before class.

Gu Zhicheng's mother is about to celebrate her birthday, which is the highlight of the Gu family every year. My daughter-in-law Zhang Luo every year, but I still know the old lady's preferences.

It's just that with her current situation, spending money to buy things she likes is a bit suspicious of being a swollen face and becoming fat.

"Then what am I good at, I can't make a cake and send it over!" Zhang Cuilian lay listlessly on the table. Her abnormality attracted the teacher's frequent attention, and she couldn't help but remind: "Zhang Cuilian! Pay attention to the lectures! ”

Back in the dormitory, Zhang Cuilian finally thought of a good way, that is, to knit a dress for Gu's mother.

In her later years, Gu's mother had the same problem of "dazzling things" as the elderly. She can't always show off the food she buys to her neighbors and friends. But the children bought her a valuable gold bracelet or a coat of great price. She is always looking for opportunities to show off with those old people who have "unfilial" and "unproductive" children.

Since you choose to knit a sweater, it must not be a general style. The material must be good, and the style must be novel and atmospheric. Gu's mother's taste is there, and it must take a lot of effort to arouse good feelings.

Zhang Cuilian took out the stroke pattern, and always felt bad when she changed it. Ji Yao stretched her neck and glanced at Zhang Cuilian's painting, pouting sarcastically: "Is this going to be a fashion designer?" Oh, changed to a tailor? ”

Zhang Cuilian pouted: "Don't have anything to say?" ”

Ji Yao chuckled and shook the gold chain in his hand: "Oops, even if you make money, it's useless." Women, the most important thing is to find a good family to marry. Well done, it's better to marry well, do you know! ”

Because she found a rich partner, Ji Yao turned into a serf in the dormitory and sang. Every day when I find an opportunity, I show off my object, which causes dissatisfaction among many girls in the dormitory.

Zhang Cuilian finally thought of knitting a shawl for Gu's mother and weaving it with good cashmere thread. It is best not to have a single color, but to gradually change from depth to light.

Different from the rectangular shawl of the past, Zhang Cuilian has seen the style of the shawl and cloak in later generations.

The open collar is unbuttoned and loose, and the short length of the front only reaches the lower abdomen and the back of the hips are long. It has sleeves but is extremely loose, so you can wear it even if Gu's mother gets fat.

The whole is made of black cashmere thread, but the color that extends from the collar to the sides of the placket is elegant violet. And all the corners of the clothes are decorated with black rabbit fur, and the material is not expensive at an ordinary price.

After thinking of the gift, you have to hurry to work. Usually there is no time for class, so Zhang Cuilian found several books to study weaving. And out of thin air, I imagined where and what stitches were used, and I could look as good as the machine I bought.

Early on Saturday morning, Zhang Cuilian went straight to the department store to buy wool. In order to make Gu's mother have a good impression of herself, and also to let Gu Zhicheng see her heart. Zhang Cuilian ruthlessly bought a medium-priced cashmere thread, and bought a thinner needle. It cost a total of sixty dollars, and I can really buy a good dress.

Zhang Cuilian knows that slow work produces meticulous work, and when something goes wrong, she dismantles the weaving and weaving. A cloak that has been knitted for more than two weeks.

In the past two weeks, Zhang Cuilian went home every day to live. Because the lights in the dormitory are turned off at the end of the day, no one cares about these things at home.

Dong Lihua knew that this was Zhang Cuilian's birthday gift to the good "aunt" in the city. I'm not jealous, but I can see from the eyes of my peers where I don't think it's appropriate.

Gu's mother's birthday is August 25, and this year it is just in time for Sunday. Early in the morning, Zhang Cuilian freshened up and dressed up, and went to the city with the shawl knitted for Gu's mother.

Gu Zhicheng pushed open the door and saw Zhang Cuilian with Qi bangs and a ponytail and said with a smile: "I thought you would come a little later!" ”

Zhang Cuilian was a little embarrassed, looking at the fact that there were no guests at home. I also knew that I had come too early, and it was only past eight o'clock. While taking off his shoes, he explained: "I think there must be a lot of guests in your house today." I want to come over early to help my aunt cook! ”

Gu Zhicheng said with a smile: "You are real, Xiaoqiu is not as good as you think!" ”

Zhang Cuilian looked around and found that there seemed to be no one in the family, and asked curiously, "What about uncles and aunts?" ”

Gu Zhicheng replied: "My dad took Xiaoqiu to buy vegetables, and my mom went to the intersection to pick up people!" ”

After speaking, I looked at Zhang Cuilian, and saw that she was wearing a blue and white plaid shirt with a collar and a pure white cotton skirt underneath. A pair of snow-white socks, revealing a slender and smooth calf.

couldn't help frowning: "Aren't you cold?" Zhang Cuilian shook her head: "Today's weather is very good, the weather forecast says that there will be 30 degrees today." ”

Gu Zhicheng nodded and coughed lightly. Zhang Cuilian glanced at him suspiciously, this is a habit of his. If you have something to say, you will cough unnaturally.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Cuilian looked at Gu Zhicheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping. I couldn't help laughing: "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Gu Zhicheng nodded and looked at Zhang Cuilian: "While there is no one at home, I want to tell you about the two of us!" ”

Zhang Cuilian's face turned a little unnaturally red, and she grabbed the corner of her skirt with a twist. Lowering his head, he listened to Gu Zhicheng say: "I think you can write whatever you want, and if it's a hobby, then develop it." If you don't have the money to pay for tuition, don't worry. Although I have not received much allowance over the years, I have also spent less. I'll put the passbook with you when I go back, and don't be yourself. ”

Zhang Cuilian's head buzzed, could it be that Gu Zhicheng was confessing to himself?

Gu Zhicheng saw that Zhang Cuilian was silent, and explained embarrassedly: "Uh... I know what's going on in your house, and you've seen what is going on in ours. You don't have to be mentally burdened, and you don't have so many thoughts. Forehead... Don't worry, life will get better! ”

Zhang Cuilian wasn't sure what this meant, raised her head and asked earnestly, "Then why do you want to give me money?" ”

Gu Zhicheng glared: "The two of us are in the same place, shouldn't we put the money on you like this?" ”

Zhang Cuilian pouted like a little goldfish, and asked slowly, "When did the two of us get together?" ”

Gu Zhicheng's dark face turned red when he was asked, and he opened his mouth and glared anxiously for a long time: "Today!" ”

Looking at Zhang Cuilian's stunned face, Gu Zhicheng was a little anxious: "What's the matter, you don't want to?" ”

Zhang Cuilian lowered her head shyly, her ruddy little mouth gnawing on her fingers. Gu Zhicheng saw her like this, and neither said he was willing nor unwilling. I'm anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and my heart is anxious.

At this time, the security door was opened with a "snap", and I heard Gu's mother say with a smile: "Oh, it's here, come in!" ”

As soon as she entered the house, she immediately rescued the embarrassed man and woman: "Oops, Cuilian is here!" ”
