Chapter 208: For Whom Is the Wind Exposed?
The Last Supper
Song Xifeng went to buy something for Mrs. Song, and Song Dongmei also followed, saying that her shoes were broken and she wanted to buy a pair of yellow rubber shoes.
Yellow rubber shoes were one of the most popular shoes in the early eighties.
This is a high-top shoe, the sole and upper part are made of rubber, and the upper is army green nylon cloth.
These shoes are soft to wear and easy to walk on, and they are not easy to get wet when it rains, and the styles are not divided between men and women.
Song Xifeng thought about what Mrs. Song had just said, and felt that he really owed Song Dongmei, so he agreed without thinking about it.
Chen Xue could see that Song Xifeng came to buy things this time with his family, and he was extremely attentive, and he was very enthusiastic about Song Dongmei and Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song is a human spirit, she saw something different from Chen Xue's eyes, and couldn't help but look at Chen Xue twice, feeling that this Nizi was different from other salesmen, young, smart, and such a warm service attitude Mrs. Song had never felt it, and it must have something to do with the third child.
On the way home when Song Xifeng sent Mrs. Song home, Mrs. Song mentioned Chen Xue.
"Third child, I think that Nizi of the supply and marketing cooperatives is different to you."
People of Mrs. Song's age could see at a glance that Chen Xue was unusual to her, and Song Xifeng suddenly felt very stressed.
As Song Qingtian said, if this relationship is not handled in time, I am afraid that it will really hurt Chen Xue.
Song Xifeng said: "Because I go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy flour every day, this Nizi is particularly enthusiastic, and Xiao Fei is also like this when he goes." ”
Mrs. Song muttered to herself suspiciously: "Is this really the case?" ”
Song Xifeng knew that this kind of thing could not be explained more, and the more he explained, the easier it was to make mistakes, so he chose to remain silent.
On the way back to the town, Song Xifeng kept thinking about how to open his mouth to Chen Xue and refuse her.
Suddenly, Song Xifeng thought of something, he just seemed to see Su Yaowen in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Just when Chen Xue was looking for a shoe size for Song Dongmei, she vaguely saw Su Yaowen coming in from the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Yaowen just pushed open the door, and saw that it was Song Xifeng and them, so he quickly closed the door and walked away, Song Xifeng saw the figure for a while, and it seemed to be Su Yaowen.
At that time, Song Xifeng was in a trance, and when he thought about it now, it was really Su Yaowen.
The supply and marketing cooperatives have a new leader, isn't he fired?
Chen Xue must be asked about this matter, otherwise when the liquor supply to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the future, there may be unexpected troubles.
When I arrived in the town, it happened that the supply and marketing cooperatives were off work.
Gao Fengyuan, the newly appointed director of the supply and marketing cooperative, is a young man in his twenties, and his family is also from Jinping County, and it is not far from Chen Xue's family.
Gao Fengyuan has his own car, and before getting off work, he asked Chen Xue if she wanted to go back to the city at night, so that she could give her a ride.
Chen Xue agreed.
After getting off work, Gao Fengyuan drove over to pick up Chen Xue, and Chen Xue saw Song Xifeng riding a bicycle and coming to her in a hurry.
"Chen Xue, are you free? I said before that I would invite you to dinner, just tonight, I don't know if you want to appreciate the light or not? ”
Chen Xue was overjoyed in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at Gao Fengyuan, who was waiting for her in the car, "Xifeng, you wait for me, I'll tell the director that I'm not going home today, and I'm going to eat with you." ”
Chen Xue ran to the front of the car and said to Gao Fengyuan in the window: "Director Gao, I have something to do, I won't go back today, thank you, let's go back together next time." ”
Gao Fengyuan glanced at Song Xifeng in the distance, tall and thin and dressed in old clothes, at first glance, he was a countryman, this Chen Xue seemed to be quite close to him, could it be that Chen Xue fell in love with this countryman?
Is it because Chen Xue doesn't go home?
Gao Fengyuan thought about it, and felt that it was impossible, Chen Xue was from the city and had an iron rice bowl, how could he fall in love with this country man, he felt that he was thinking too much.
He felt that only he could match Chen Xue, regardless of identity or family background, they were a natural pair.
On the first day he came to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, he paid special attention to this Chen Xue, and later inquired that Chen Xue did not have a boyfriend yet, and he had the intention of pursuing Chen Xue at that time.
Gao Fengyuan asked Chen Xue to go home with him today, just to contact her feelings, seeing that Chen Xue didn't go back, he didn't want to go back, after seeing Chen Xue leave, he drove the car to the yard of the supply and marketing cooperative, went back to the house to eat something and lay on the bed to read the newspaper.
Chen Xue followed Song Xifeng to the well-off restaurant in the town.
When passing by Yuhua clothing store, Song Xifeng glanced inside, but did not see Deng Yuhua, but saw a middle-aged woman fiddling with things in the store, he thought that Deng Yuhua was too busy to recruit workers.
Chen Xue saw Song Xifeng and Deng Yuhua pulling before, and when she saw Song Xifeng's eyes at this moment, she couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" ”
Song Xifeng came back to his senses and said, "I see that Yuhua clothing store seems to be recruiting? The woman didn't know. ”
Chen Xue said: "That woman is now the boss's wife, Deng Yuhua left and transferred the store to her." ”
"What? Did Deng Yuhua leave Sanchuan Town? ”
When Deng Yuhua left that day, Song Xifeng was taking out wine.
After he came back, Song Qingtian also went to school, and there was no time to tell him, Song Xifeng didn't know about it at all, hearing Chen Xue say this, a faint sadness inexplicably appeared in his heart, why didn't he leave without saying a word.
Eating with Chen Xue today is a serious matter, Song Xifeng resisted his displeasure and walked into the restaurant with Chen Xue.
Song Xifeng thought to himself that girls like to eat sweet food, so he ordered Chen Xue a dish of shredded apples, a braised pork, and a plate of tomatoes mixed with sugar.
Song Xifeng could see from Chen Xue's happy face that she was very satisfied with the three dishes.
However, Chen Xue seemed to eat very little.
Who's satisfied?
Or are you satisfied with the person who ordered the food?
Song Xifeng didn't understand it now.
Song Xifeng didn't think about it so much, anyway, he was going to have a showdown with Chen Xue in a while, in order to make the atmosphere less sudden, he first found a topic and asked a question in his heart: "Chen Xue, I seem to see Su Yaowen re-supply and marketing cooperative." ”
"That's right, Su Yaowen did go to the supply and marketing cooperatives today."
"So he's going to work? Also on ......"
"He only came to report today, and it was his first day on the job."
"Wasn't Su Yaowen expelled?"
Chen Xue said: "When Gao Fengyuan came, he was indeed ordered to wait at home for the notice, and later because the supply and marketing cooperatives needed a person to buy goods, he sent Su Yaowen to work, and he was still the deputy director." ”
"The supply and marketing cooperatives purchased?"
Chen Xue suddenly came to her senses, and said with a look of remorse: "Xifeng, I have suffered, I forgot to tell you that in the future, Su Yaowen will be responsible for the supply and marketing cooperatives to purchase in private hands outside, and now he is not good at taking care of this matter, and I am to blame for this matter." ”
When Song Xifeng heard this, he also felt that it was a bit difficult to sell wine to the supply and marketing cooperative, but when he saw Chen Xue's remorseful appearance, he felt that he couldn't go away, so he comforted her: "Chen Xue, you can't be blamed for this, it's all arranged by the superiors, it has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart." ”
"Zephyr, you really don't blame me for telling you in time."
"Of course, you're not a leader, you just tell me in time, and you can't be the master."
When Chen Xue heard this, her heart was steady, and she kept putting meat in Song Xifeng's bowl, which made Song Xifeng feel very embarrassed, but it was difficult to refuse.
Chen Xue asked again: "It's your mother and your sister who came to the supply and marketing cooperatives today, right?" ”
"Yes, yes."
"I see that you are very filial to your mother, and you are good to your sister, I can see that you are a good man with a sense of responsibility for the family, there are not many good men like this, and I am fortunate to have met you."
That's just a matter of saying it directly, Song Xifeng, I like you.
In the 80s, this implicit words were already a big scale, Song Xifeng didn't expect that Chen Xue, who loves poetry and songs, would be so straightforward.
This can't be blamed on Chen Xue, people like Chen Xue are very delicate, but they have a deep obsession. If she likes someone, she will identify him, and if she identifies him, she will express her feelings without hesitation, because she feels that this person is worthy of her doing, and she will convey her thoughts to each other without reservation.
Song Xifeng smiled slightly: "My own family, everyone will be good to them." ”
Chen Xue said: "This is different, you are different from others. ”
What else can Song Xifeng say, refuse Chen Xue, he feels that he can't say it at the moment, if he doesn't refuse, Chen Xue will only fall deeper and deeper, and that will really hurt her.
Chen Xue saw that Song Xifeng's face was different, as if there was something unspeakable, she had a feeling, wondering if Song Xifeng wanted to show his heart to her?
If that weren't the case, how could he bring himself to dinner alone?
The two have been together for so long, Song Xifeng should understand his mind, what he just said is very clear, as a man, he should also express something.
The better and happier Chen Xue was, the more entangled Song Xifeng became.
Chen Xue, a native of the city, is also smart, but she just doesn't feel for her.
He can be cruel to people like Liu Meixin, but he can't directly refuse a simple, cute and kind girl like Chen Xue.
Rejecting a girl, Song Xifeng decided to start with the incident when Chen Xue began to like him.
He felt that he had to achieve the origin of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the fate of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Perhaps, Chen Xue may be a little more acceptable.
Song Xifeng asked: "Chen Xue, you like "Dream of Red Mansions" so much, do you like the character above?" ”
Today, Song Xifeng invited him to dinner again, and told her what he liked very much, not to mention the excitement in his heart.
"I like Lin Daiyu's talent."
"I don't like Lin Daiyu."
Song Xifeng said this deliberately, he wanted to make sure that he and Chen Xue had different opinions, so that Chen Xue would be disappointed in her, and then discouraged.
"Why, tell me your opinion."
Song Xifeng thought about it, and there was a sentence from a book he had read about "Dream of Red Mansions", "If the stars are not last night, who is the wind and the night for?" This sentence is a portrayal of Lin Daiyu, which is too sad and inconsistent with the current socialist status quo. ”
As soon as Song Xifeng's words came out, Chen Xue subconsciously thought of something, but she wasn't sure.
"And who do you like? Baochai? ”
"Baochai has a lot of sophistication, such a woman can indeed help men, but it also restricts men's freedom."
"And who do you like?"
"Li Kun."
Chen Xue couldn't believe her ears, "Dream of Red Mansions" described above that Li Kun is a widow, shaped like dead wood, like dead ashes, and most importantly, old, a young man like Song Xifeng likes her so much.
Somehow, Deng Yuhua's appearance suddenly appeared in Chen Xue's eyes.
"Why? Can you tell me? ”
Although Li Kun is a widow, she does not ask about the world, does not pick fat and thin, does not participate in family disputes, and wholeheartedly educates her son to become a talent. I want to be like her, no troubles, my business is my children, and I want to raise my 'children' wholeheartedly. ”
Song Xifeng's words are very subtle, he means to insist on doing business like Li Kun, make the business bigger and do a good job, and don't consider anything else.
Li Kun is a widow, and Song Xifeng said that he wanted to stay single.
For Chen Xue, who likes poetry and poetry and studies the Red Mansion, she doesn't understand what this means.
However, Chen Xue felt that she might have misunderstood.
"Zephyr, do you have something to say to me?"
Song Xifeng nodded and said, "Chen Xue, I actually have something I wanted to say to you a long time ago, you are a good girl......
Chen Xue shook her head and interrupted her, "Do you have a sweetheart?" ”
"Nope."
Song Xifeng's words are very sincere, he really has no sweetheart, he just has a hazy feeling for Deng Yuhua, and he can't say that he is a sweetheart.
"Zephyr, do you think I'm not worthy of you?"
"Chen Xue, it's me who doesn't deserve you, I mean ......"
Chen Xue interrupted him again: "Song Xifeng, don't say it, I know what you have to say, do you want to say that I am a city hukou and have an iron rice bowl, do you think I am not worthy of me?" If this is the case, I am willing to move my hukou to the countryside and give up my iron rice bowl. ”
This is the unique obsession of a girl who likes classical poetry, is full of feelings, and has a delicate mind, and can give everything for the person she likes.
Chen Xue usually looks innocent and innocent, Song Xifeng didn't expect her to have such strong feelings, hearing her confession, Song Xifeng felt as if he had done something wrong.
"Chen Xue, I want to tell the truth, can you please forgive me?"
Song Xifeng's tone was very serious and earnest when he said it, Chen Xue obviously knew what he was going to say, but when he saw Song Xifeng's attitude, he felt how rare it was to be such a sincere man.
Chen Xue was extremely conflicted in her heart, biting her lip, "Say it." ”
"I'm helping Qingtian do business now, I never thought about dealing with objects, I know you're a good girl, and I understand your heart for me, I look at you and treat me well, I always feel a little sorry for you in my heart, so I don't want you to be hurt again, I just want to say to you, don't waste time and feelings on me, find someone who likes you."
Chen Xuequan understood, it turned out that Song Xifeng didn't have her at all in his heart, Song Xifeng didn't like her, this dinner was a parting banquet, and it was the last supper to break the infinitely beautiful illusions in her heart.
Chen Xue felt that there were countless spikes in her chest, every tremor in her body hurt her heart, and every breath was a bitter pain.
She sat dumbfounded, tears in her eyes like a rushing stream.
