Chapter 32: Forgetting
Grandma also told her that if you want to live well, you must first have some money. Zhang Shuqiu knew that if she followed her aunt like this, Wang Yixuan would not give a penny of child support, but she should get her part, such as the family's savings and her father's pension.
Just when Wang Yixuan thought that she could finally get rid of Zhang Shuqiu's burden, Zhang Shuqiu repented and followed Zhang Heng to Jiangcheng for a few days, and then cried and wanted to go home. Zhang Heng was so helpless that he had to send her to Wang Yixuan again.
Zhang Shuqiu said that she was penniless and had no reason to let her aunt raise her. Zhang Heng looked at this niece helplessly, but he had to admire her at a young age, and she had grown a seven-trick exquisite heart. had to come forward again to help her negotiate with Wang Yixuan.
In this way, Zhang Shuqiu got half of the family's savings and half of his father's pension.
Then Zhang Shuqiu lied and said that he was homesick and missed his mother, and he didn't want to transfer now, so he would wait until he finished elementary school to transfer. Although Wang Yixuan is willful and arrogant, and her nature is also cold, she is also very face-saving, and she always doesn't want to be pointed at by the people around her, saying that she can't even tolerate her daughter. Seeing that there was less than a year left, I reluctantly agreed.
Later, Zhang Shuqiu was about to graduate from elementary school, and Wang Yixuan remarried. She asked Zhang Heng to pick up Zhang Shuqiu, Zhang Shuqiu was willing to go like that, and said that she wanted to live in a new home for a while, wanted to understand what kind of person this father was, and wanted to cultivate a relationship with him, but she couldn't really become a homeless child.
The man Wang Yixuan remarried was surnamed Dong, his name was Guangyue, and he was the first batch to be admitted to university after the resumption of the college entrance examination. At that time, he was working in Yunzhou, and he was also a person with a head and a face, but for some reason, he persuaded Wang Yixuan to bring Zhang Shuqiu to Yunzhou.
Speaking of this, Zhang Shuqiu began to be silent. After that, it should be a time that Zhang Shuqiu didn't want to think about the most. Zhou Ting could feel her gloomy mood, so she changed the topic and said: "If you go directly to Jiangcheng, now, I don't know whether you are dead or alive, you see, is fate very strange?" β
"Why did you suddenly get married? Didn't you say you wanted to go to high school together? "Zhang Shuqiu has always felt very strange about this matter.
"I told my mom that I was going to high school, and I said you would help me pay for my tuition. My mom just sneered, and then asked me, after high school, what about college? Who can pay for you? You still have to eat and clothe, who will feed you? She said you were all self-protecting. I don't know how to answer. β
Zhou Ting sighed and continued: "Then one day, our family ran out of rice, and a man came to our house to deliver rice, my mother had no money, and she had menstruation again, so she forced me, she helped the man lock me in the house, or I made too much noise, I ran out and begged Shanshan's father, so I escaped the catastrophe." β
"After that day, my mother said, look, who can you rely on? When I think about it, I feel like I'm really naΓ―ve. β
Zhang Shuqiu sighed and asked, "Your husband, is it good for you?" β
"At first, it was hard. I married him because my mother-in-law verified my identity. For a long time, I'm afraid I'll run away. Later, I got up early every day and followed my husband to sell fish, and then I got angry and gave birth to two sons, so I got a foothold in the house.
When I was old enough to get a marriage certificate, my mother-in-law urged the two of us to get up early in the morning, escorted us to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and was the first to get a certificate. When I came back, I handed over my family passbook, and I really had a place to live. Zhou Ting recalled.
"Then you were really difficult at that time, no wonder you didn't communicate with us anymore, then when I had an accident, how did you bypass your husband to help me make the call?" Zhang Shuqiu asked in surprise.
"I don't go around, this is a fair and righteous thing, what is there to go around. I'll just say it directly, my husband is actually very good, just a widow who grew up with a son, the family is a little poor, and no one wants to marry him.
My husband helped me cover up and followed me to Longjia Village to see. You don't know, at that time, the village was full of people, and I couldn't tell the difference, or he told me, let me remind your aunt to bring more people. β
Zhang Shuqiu frowned and asked, "I was groggy at that time, I didn't know what was going on outside, why did you say so many people were looking for me?" The key is why I suddenly stopped looking for it again. β
"You'll have to ask yourself."
"It can't be for money, can it? But Long Hao gave me money, and no one else could know. Otherwise, I really don't know anything. Long Hao is doing business outside, although it is my idea, but I don't care about the rest, and he doesn't let me ask. Zhang Shuqiu recalled.
"A lot of money?" Zhou Ting asked casually.
"It's a lot, and later Long Hao should have opened a total of almost twenty Internet cafes, as well as many game machine halls, he gave me that money, saying that it was a dividend for me. At the beginning, he had no capital, I gave him most of the money left to me by my dad and my grandmother, bought a batch of old computers, as well as tables and chairs, and then he kept half the profit every month, and the money he saved for me was all cash, and the card was not in my name. Zhang Shuqiu said.
"Long Hao opened an Internet cafΓ© was your idea? You also invested money in him, does anyone else know? β
"Probably not, because at that time he was worried every day, before his brother went to the army, he led a group of people to help people watch the field or something, and his brother entrusted it to him when he left.
He always felt that it was not a way to go on like this, but so many people wanted to eat, and he was only a half-old child, and he had never seen much of the world, so what could he do. I worry every day when I'm free, I really can't stand it.
Their family has a house next to the technical school, and his brother has opened a video hall, although the business is good, but he can't manage so many people.
Later, when I went to look for him, I went once, and I looked at the upper floor, and the upper room was used, and the lower hall was empty. I remembered that when I went to Jiangcheng, my brother took me to an Internet cafΓ© to play, and the business was very good, and no one in Yunzhou had opened this at that time, but there were a lot of colleges and universities in Yunzhou, and the business would be very good, so he gave him this trick.
But no one else knows, and he doesn't want me to go up there to find him anyway. β
"Then it's okay at the beginning, there are so many later, there must be an account, this account book is with you?" Zhou Ting asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Shuqiu suddenly sat up and said: "It must be looking for an account, but the account book is not here, the account book should be at Xiaodao, Xiaodao and his brother are lifelong friendships......"
"Shanshan told me that on the day you left, Long Hao and his brother came back, and then it was calm outside."
"That's right, I was in a daze for more than half a year, and then my aunt didn't mention what happened at that time, and I didn't dare to think about it. Then I went to school all the time, and I went abroad, and I was busy, and I didn't stop, and I only figured out what happened that day, but this is also too strange. How I think and feel, I'm afraid it's not that simple. You've been in Yunzhou, have you heard anything? Zhang Shuqiu slowly lay down again and asked.
Zhou Ting thought it was two or three Internet cafes, but she didn't expect it to be such a big business, no wonder there would be such a big movement. Zhou Ting's heart was churning, but she could only purse her lips and say, "What can I hear, I was a fish seller at that time." β
"Do you say that you can still inquire about this matter, Tingting, let me tell you, I have always had some faint uneasiness in my heart over the years, but I just don't know where it came from, do you think it will be this thing?" Zhang Shuqiu asked.
"It's all in the past, what's uneasy." Zhou Ting was a little anxious, afraid that she would really have to figure out what happened back then.
"Tingting, do you believe in a woman's sixth sense? I really ......."
"Okay, stop, I'll help you inquire, I'll help you ask, it's not that you don't know what kind of food Long Hao used to eat, you must not act rashly." Zhou Ting pressed Zhang Shuqiu's hand in the quilt.
"I'll help you inquire, but you also have to listen to my advice, the past is over, you can't live in the past forever, Long Hao is dead, you have to let yourself accept this reality." Zhou Ting suddenly clenched Zhang Shuqiu's hand.
"I knew he was dead, I used to dream about him, but now I don't even dream, I almost forgot his features, only a silhouette remains. I think sometimes I'm actually afraid of forgetting, and I'm afraid that after I forget, my heart will be empty...... Just now, when I kissed Ning Ye, I thought he was Long Hao, do you think I'm crazy? Zhang Shuqiu used that almost murmuring voice to say the most real chaos in his heart.
Zhou Ting didn't want Zhang Shuqiu to continue the chaos, and said bluntly: "Are you sure you treat him as Long Hao?" I don't think so, you are just confused, you have found the feeling of being with Long Hao, and you don't want to admit that that person is not Long Hao, but a person who stands in front of you alive and makes your heart move. β
"Impossible, why should he? How could I? Zhang Shuqiu shook his head and said.
"Then what do you say Long Hao? By virtue of his kindness to you? Love doesn't have to happen for anything. You're not impregnable, so why can't you fall in love with someone else? β
Seeing that Zhang Shuqiu didn't speak, Zhou Ting continued: "You don't think you're affectionate. You don't like to listen to me, don't you always feel that your mother shouldn't have remarried back then? But people don't live for themselves, and they live for a person who is already dead, and that's not a deep feeling.
What age are you, you've run all over the world, who have you ever seen who wants to celebrate the festival for your dead boyfriend? If your heart is really like ashes, then it's okay, you obviously can't get along with yourself. I don't believe it, according to your character, if you really don't have any feelings for that Ning Ye, will you let him touch you? β
Zhang Shuqiu pursed her lips, which were still a little swollen, and remembered that Ning Ye held her in his arms like a fire, and there was a trace of heat in his heart inexplicably.
"Good girl, be obedient, live according to your own heart, look forward, don't look back three times at a time. Let's put it another way, if you die and Long Hao is still alive, do you want him to be a widow for you? If there really is any spirit in the sky, you should also let the family live in peace. β
Zhou Ting's words, like a knife, pierced Zhang Shuqiu's heart, opening the gate in her heart, and she could feel that there was a sticky and wet liquid, bubbling out......
Separated by a wall, Ning Ye lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.
He flipped through the photo on his phone, the sun was shining on her eyelashes, slightly curled and thick, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a fine line was covered by a few scattered strands of hair, and he couldn't help but caress the red lips with his fingertips. Thinking of her after being kissed by him, her eyes were dazed and confused. The blood in his whole body involuntarily rushed to one place again.
He reluctantly flipped to the black and thin photo she had taken before. The photo was retaken into the phone, and it was already a little blurry, which he secretly took while she was not paying attention.
At that time, he didn't know what was wrong with him.
She was so dark and skinny, a school uniform was like hanging on her, and she had always been like that, ever since he first saw her. There was stubbornness in her eyes, but she didn't seem to care about anything. With so many people standing there to stop her, she didn't seem to care.
He followed her, and she turned a blind eye. He saw her enter the dormitory area of Jiang University, and he always thought that she was a child of Jiang University.
He told her that it was okay, and the look in her eyes was not only indifferent, but more like saying that he was troublesome.
Later, when she had a seizure on the playground and he took the broom in her hand, she looked at her like that. He inquired, only to find out that she was actually the one who was talked about, and the first place in the cattle herding class.
After his college entrance examination, he knew that he had been admitted to BGI, so he went to wait for her outside the training institution, just to tell her that he would wait for her at BGI.
He just couldn't forget that look. In fact, there was a time in college when he suddenly found out that this person had disappeared, he was so angry that he stuffed the photo into a book and ordered himself not to think about her anymore and not to look at the photo again.
Later, he began to date other girls, who may be beautiful and smart, but in their eyes, there is only simple love, which makes him feel very boring.
He couldn't help but turn her out and think about it.
Looking for it but not finding it, forgetting and forgetting it, he sometimes feels like he has a disease, and the key is that there is a disease that cannot be cured.
He remembered that the craziest time he had was when he suddenly remembered that his mother had also taught at Jiang University, and he actually called his mother overnight to ask if there was a teacher in Jiang University whose daughter was black and thin and very good at reading.
Unexpectedly, my mother not only failed to provide any clues, but also interrogated him, two people you said yours, I asked mine, and it ended in hanging up the phone.
Later, he couldn't help it and continued to look for her. Even he himself felt that he was suffering from neuropathy, but he was afraid that if he found it, he would have married someone else a long time ago. But his intuition told him that it was estimated that it would be difficult for a girl like that to marry herself, even if she was really married, he also wanted to see what kind of person she married.
Later, I finally met her by chance, and I was finally able to sit with her to eat, talk, and even hold her in my arms, and couldn't help but kiss her......
He couldn't remember reading it in a book that said that men just like to solve puzzles and like women like enigma. He felt that he liked this woman like a mystery, but it didn't matter if the mystery was solved or not, as long as she could be there and let him hold it in his arms, nothing else would be a problem.
Ning Dagongzi, who has lived for almost forty years, feels lonely and a little cold for the first time sleeping alone......
