Chapter 14: Trial Marriage
When I went home for the Chinese New Year, it was nothing more than visiting relatives and friends, and when I heard that Li Xiao had made money in Guangdong, my father's colleagues did not mention Li Xiao's failure in the college entrance examination, but inquired about some things about going to Guangdong to work. For a while, the house was a lot more lively. Many people came to inquire about entering the factory, hoping to have the opportunity to enter the factory with Li Xiao.
The time at home passed quickly, during which he went to his uncle's house, expecting to see someone, but Li Xiao waited for a day and didn't see him. A bit of a loss.
On the sixth day of the new year, Li Xiao and Wang Qian bought bus tickets in advance and took a car to Guangzhou. Bored in the car, Wang Qian bought a copy of "Liaoning Literature and Art", after he finished reading it, Li Xiao also flipped through it and saw an article in the magazine, titled "Trial Marriage". When I arrived at the factory, I saw that some workers had arrived first.
After Li Xiao put his things in the dormitory, he went to Wang Qian's dormitory. As soon as I entered the door, I heard Wang Qian talking to his roommates in Kandashan.
Wang Qian said, "I went home this year, reunited with my classmates, and everyone talked about a new thing, what is called 'trial marriage', that is, two people do not get married first, but live together for a period of time, if they get together, they will get married, and if they don't get along, they will separate, so that both parties will not have a burden." Some of my classmates started trying this new thing. ”
Li Xiao was surprised while listening, isn't this the content on "Liaoning Literature and Art"? After he said this, it was vivid, and people who didn't know really thought that what he said was true, but Li Xiao knew that he just adapted and processed what he saw, and it became his own. Li Xiao secretly admired Wang Gan's ability to make up nonsense and talk like a river, remembering that last year he also relied on his three-inch tongue to win compensation for Wang Xifeng, and also set off a lot of "Wang" fever in the factory, some female workers especially admired Wang Gan, and took the initiative to run over to show love, and Wang Keer happened to be present at that time, Wang Gan took the initiative to refuse to please Wang Keer.
After getting acquainted with the people in his dormitory, Li Xiao knew that Wang Gan's ability was not only in his mouth, but also in his pen. I heard that he had also chased A-Ying before, and he was born in liberal arts, so he wrote a Tibetan poem, with a total of eight verses, implying A-Ying's name.
But at that time, A-Ying already had a place in her heart, and there was a difference between her own and her own outside [you are from this province, and you are different from your own outside], no matter how talented and smart you are, she will not like it.
After the New Year, Wang Keer really didn't come back. Wang Qian fell into a downturn for a while.
One day, Li Xiao received a letter from her high school classmate Liu Ying, in which she said that she was working in Huizhou after failing the college entrance examination and engaged in quality control, and said that she hoped to contact her frequently.
A thought suddenly flashed through Li Xiao's mind, matching Wang Qian and Liu Ying.
The originally strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, uncles and nieces, because of the matchmaker, the relationship between the two seems to be no longer so antagonistic and graded, and occasionally jokes.
Li Xiao told each other the addresses of the two parties, so that the two of them could communicate with each other, and he coordinated in the middle. Back and forth, they got acquainted. Originally, the letter was forwarded by Li Xiao, but later it became a one-line contact.
One day in April, Wang Qian ran over and said that Liu Ying had broken his leg on a motorcycle, hoping that Wang Qian would come over to see him. Wang Qian felt that it was inappropriate to go alone, so he wanted to take Li Xiao with him. Li Xiao didn't want to go at first, and Wang Qian said that you have to go. First, you are the introducer, how can we know each other if you don't go; Second, she is also your classmate, and if she is injured, you should go and see it. Li Xiao couldn't help it, so the two took leave and went to Huizhou together.
When I arrived in Huizhou, I learned that the letter was written a month ago, and Liu Ying's leg was cured a week ago, and she went to Guangzhou to learn from her classmates, and she could only come back the next day. At this time, night had fallen, and Liu Ying was not there. So Wang Qian took Li Xiao to find a hotel nearby. The guest room was full, and only one triple room for men and women remained, Wang Qian lived in the men's triple room, and Li Xiao lived in the women's triple room. After the room was set, Wang Qian said that we should go outside, so Li Xiao followed Wang Qian to walk along the road at will.
Compared with the remoteness of Li Xiao's factory, Liu Ying's factory is located in the prosperous area of Huizhou. Walking along the bustling streets, it is quite like a wanderer alone in a foreign land. The street lights flickered, and the heart was barren. The night breeze blows, and the chill is suddenly born. The night in Huizhou in April was cold, and Li Xiao couldn't help but shiver.
"Cold?"
"Sort of."
So, Wang Qian stretched out his right arm and hugged Li Xiao. A strange feeling was transmitted on Li Xiao's body. Li Xiao looked up at Wang Gan and saw that he was looking ahead, not caring about Li Xiao's attention.
After walking for an hour, Li Xiao felt a little tired, and the two returned to the hotel to rest. slept until midnight, feeling that someone was coming in the room, and feeling that someone was going out, Li Xiao was nervous and restless one night. The next morning, Wang Qian came and knocked on the door and asked Li Xiao how he slept, Li Xiao said that this kind of three-person house is too unrealistic, because you don't know who will live in and who will leave, and you can't grasp who the other party is at all, so I was too nervous and didn't sleep well all night. Wang Qian said that he was too.
After washing, Wang Qian took Li Xiao to Liu Ying's dormitory again.
Liu Ying said to the girl in the dormitory, you just take a rest here, and Liu Ying will come back later.
It was almost noon, and Liu Ying came back.
I was very excited to see Wang Qian and Li Xiao. Then she invited them to eat out and asked her two colleagues to accompany her, both fellow countrymen, a man and a woman. The men are turners, and the women are clerks. During the chat, Li Xiao learned that the woman was two years higher than herself, and after she failed the college entrance examination, her family arranged for her to go to the Railway Institute to participate in the self-examination undergraduate study, and she got her undergraduate diploma four years later, and her English also passed level 6. She recently joined another company and will be moving out of it soon. The man usually takes good care of Liu Ying, and I heard that he is also chasing Liu Ying. Liu Ying invited the other party to dinner this time, in fact, she was also making a position that she already had a boyfriend.
After eating, Liu Ying arranged for Wang Qian and Li Xiao to rest in the dormitory, while Liu Ying's female colleague had to go to the company to deal with things. Li Xiao was very interested and asked if she could take her with her. The woman said yes. The girl is thick and large, tall, fat, and beautiful. Li Xiao followed her to the office, a huge office was a girl alone, she was skillful on the phone, switching between vernacular and English at any time, Li Xiao was very envious.
Li Xiao asked, can you introduce yourself to this company, the girl said, your qualifications are not enough, your education is not high, you don't know English, you don't know the vernacular, the boss won't want it.
At that moment, Li Xiao was very frustrated. She feels that it is boring to stay in the factory every day, she is a machine when she opens her eyes and closes her eyes, and she is locked in the factory every day, and she is really "not listening to things outside the window, and only doing robots", and in the long run, she will really become a robot.
She remembered her long-lost dream of college.
Do you want to go back and take the self-exam? It seems unlikely. I remember the last time I saw an enrollment brochure for a correspondence university in "Foshan Literature and Art", the duration of study is half a year, and you can get a university diploma after half a year.
She's going to sign up, she's going to get her diploma.
After returning from Huizhou, she hurriedly found the book "Foshan Literature and Art", registered by remittance according to the address on the book, and then waited for the results.
