Chapter 66: The road is uneven
Guo Ruping and Qi Fangfang are all classmates in the same college as Bai Xue. After graduation, they went their separate ways, and it has been 20 years. Today, the former classmates are fortunate to meet on the street, which is really beautiful, and they have endless heartfelt words. After a heartfelt conversation, they shook hands and said goodbye to their unfinished business.
Bai Xue stood where she was, watching her two classmates go away. Until the classmates disappeared into the vast sea of people. Bai Xue turned around, tears streaming down her face......
She is not complaining about her classmates, but thanking her classmates. The information that her classmates inadvertently provided to her was exactly what she was hoping for. This is an eternal pain in her heart, and she wants to know what she has done.
Shirayuki wiped her endless tears with her handkerchief. The whole handkerchief was wet, and the water could be wrung out with a twist of the hand.
How Bai Xue came to the kindergarten, even she didn't understand. She has been tears in her eyes, her hands do not leave her handkerchief, she actually came to her daughter's class accurately, her daughter Gu Xiahe saw her mother, she shouted "goodbye teacher" and pounced on her mother Bai Xue, held Bai Xue's hand tightly, and said goodbye to the children again, goodbye to the teacher.
Mother and daughter return home hand in hand. As soon as he entered the house, Gu Xiahe saw Zhang Xinyue, and shouted for his grandmother to pounce. Grandma hurriedly bent down and stretched out her hands to greet her granddaughter, and the love of the next generation was fully expressed.
Mother Zhang Xinyue saw that Bai Xue only picked up her daughter once in kindergarten, and her eyes became red and swollen. He hurriedly whispered:
"Bai Xue, what the hell is going on?"
Bai Xue whispered:
"I just met two old college classmates. They said that Gao Yuan had just been transferred back to his hometown and was still alone. Am I not killing someone? ”
Bai Xue said this, and the strings of tears flowed down again.
The mother just patted her daughter Bai Xue gently:
"Alas, the past is in the past. It's hard to get back when it's covered with water, so let's open some. I hope that the heavens will live up to the kindness of the plateau......"
At dinner, Bai Changshou also seemed depressed and preoccupied. Since the collapse of his daughter Bai Xue's marriage, he has never shown a trace of repentance. At the dinner table, Bai Changshou's performance made his wife Zhang Xinyue feel inexplicable. After the meal, Bai Xue took her daughter back to the bedroom. Zhang Xinyue asked quietly:
"What's wrong with you? Like an eggplant beaten by frost, there is no anger at all? ”
"Before dinner, on the street, I met two girls from other places, and I learned that they were Bai Xue's classmates after listening to the conversation."
"Scolded, right? Was it scolded for being bloody? Even the ancestors of the last eight generations were scolded by others? Even our mother and daughter have been praised and degraded by others? Gao Yuan didn't say a word, and people who know the situation are all upset about the plateau? ”
Zhang Xinyue gently asked a series of rhetorical questions, making Bai Changshou feel like a fish in his throat. As soon as he heard his wife's tone, Bai Changshou knew that his wife had an understanding of the situation, and he had to nod slightly.
"As the old saying goes, harm others as you harm yourself. I don't know self-discipline, I always think that I am better than others, is it too arrogant? This time, you should know that no one else is stupid, right? It's time to admit that you've sown unpalatable bitter fruits, right? ”
The words of his wife Zhang Xinyue pierced Bai Changshou's heart like a steel needle. Bai Changshou couldn't help but think of the scene that happened on the street in the evening.
Bai Changshou walked along the sidewalk. He had his hands behind his back, still looking imposing. In the past, he not only had to be magnificent, but also hummed a little tune in his mouth, which seemed different from the public and very arrogant. In his eyes, there are few people who can compare to him. He likes Zhuge Liang's empty city plan singing section the most:
I'm watching the mountain scenery from the castle tower,
Ears heard the chaos outside the city,
Banner flapping,
But it turned out to be a soldier sent by Sima......
This singing tone is indeed very attractive, and many opera lovers love to sing it. However, he may have another idea when he sings in Bai Changshou, that is, he feels that he also has Zhuge Liang's talent.
Since messing up his daughter Bai Xue's marriage, he has never hummed a minor tune again. He felt that he was very clever and had great talent. As a result, all his plans fell through the cracks, and none of them could follow his wishes. That's it, he never reflected on himself. But there is one thing he understands, and that is that human words are terrible. Therefore, the more he pays attention to the neighbors around him, the closer he is to the people who know each other, the more he observes the eyes of others, and he is now the one who steals the axe. Bai Xue's classmates and girlfriends have all given birth, and Bai Xue has no goal of getting married. Despite this, Bai Changshou, as a father, still wants to be a big man who is difficult to chase after him. A family of three, two people are against him, and he will not change himself.
Bai Changshou was still strolling, when suddenly the sound of two women talking behind him came.
"This Bai Xue, who seems to be a very smart and reasonable female college student, has killed people on the plateau this time!"
The other said:
"I'm afraid I can't blame Bai Xue, Bai Xue's original intention will never break up with Gao Yuan. If you have to complain, you can only complain about Bai Xue's father. This old man is definitely a ruthless killer. ”
The woman said indignantly:
"This old man is really good at doing things. not only harmed his own daughter, but also harmed other people's plateaus, what a wolf in human skin. As the saying goes, tiger poison doesn't eat children, he doesn't even let go of his own daughter, do you say that an old man like him is still called a person? Who would dare to deal with someone like him? ”
Another laughed and said:
"If this kind of person is provoked to the Netherworld, I am afraid that the king of Hades will send him to the eighteenth layer of hell without asking a word. If he only penetrates the seventeenth floor, it is too cheap for him. ”
The indignant woman just now said:
"I didn't expect that the beautiful and gentle Bai Xue would have such a father who is not human. If this old man had died early, Bai Xue might not have so many misfortunes......"
"It seems that Bai Xue's mother has endured the anger of this old man all her life."
"Yes, if Bai Xue's mother is powerful and an unangry stubble, Bai Xue will not end up with such a sad end."
Another woman suddenly smiled and said:
"If you haven't gotten married, are you going to marry Gao Yuan?"
"Of course. If I were still a big girl with yellow flowers, I would know that Bai Xue and Gao Yuan broke up. I will carry forward the spirit of the Long March to search, and when I find the edge of the sky, I will also find the plateau back, holding it in both hands and taking it for myself. ”
She suddenly smiled and asked:
"Don't you think the same way I do? Haven't you been coveting people for a long time? How dare you make fun of me? ”
"I have the same thoughts as you, but I know that my ability is not high, my level is limited, and I can't compete with you, so I married someone early."
I heard the woman then ask:
"If Gao Yuan and Bai Xue hadn't broken up, were you going to visit Gao Yuan just now?"
"Of course, for a righteous gentleman like Gao Yuan, it is good to have more contact. You'll receive a harvest that money can't buy......"
Two women who resembled Snow spoke in a whisper as they walked. They are not from this city, and they are not afraid of being listened to, and they do not care too much about the consequences.
Bai Changshou didn't follow these two women anymore, and didn't eavesdrop on other people's conversations anymore. But every sentence of the conversation between the two outsiders was like a long steel knife, piercing Bai Changshou's heart all the time, giving him a chill.
Bai Changshou couldn't help but think of the neighbors, acquaintances, and friends chatting after dinner, and those words also made his heart beat.
It was a day after dinner, and a group of neighbors were sitting under a streetlight on the side of the road, and I don't know who talked about the topic of maintenance.
"My tape recorder was repaired by someone else's plateau, and they also taught me how to maintain it, and I have been using it ever since. The child wants to buy me a new one, I say no, this is very good, I want to remember the plateau. ”
"The hair dryer in my house was also repaired by someone else's plateau, and it is better than the original. He is really a master. ”
"Our lighting is old and burning, and I told them about the specific situation. People say, you go back and check the line quickly, there is a danger of causing a short circuit, and it must be solved immediately. I quickly found the problem, as they said. Safety hazards are eliminated. ”
"Looks like you all miss people."
"Yes, people are educated, skilled, and so skillful, but people have never looked down on us ordinary people."
……
The praise of the neighbors for the plateau made Bai Changshou feel very uncomfortable. But he had to admit that he really wouldn't do these jobs that Gao Yuan had captured.
People did not find Bai Changshou nearby. But Bai Changshou immediately avoided it, he knew that if this topic remained the same, then he would continue to be scolded.
Today, Bai Changshou accidentally met two out-of-town women, and only after listening to the conversation did he know that they were Bai Xue's classmates. These people all scolded him for his longevity behind his back. He's like a bunch of stinking shit, annoying and hating. This made Bai Changshou, who had always been conceited, very breathless, and a nameless anger arose in his heart. However, he had nowhere to vent. It was as if a voice whispered to him:
"Who can blame this? Aren't you all self-inflicted? You have cheated people, harmed people, people don't speak, the people see injustice, you want to speak for others, do you dare to argue with the people? You don't know the sky and the earth is too thick, you don't want people to know unless you don't ......"
Bai Changshou now knows: Gao Yuan, a poor boy, in addition to being a little poor economically, is very rich everywhere in other aspects. Now, except for a few stinky money, he is a poor boy in every way.
Since Bai Xue and Gu Xuecheng moved out after getting married, they moved back to their parents' house after Bai Xue became pregnant. It has become the content of greetings for neighbors, friends, and acquaintances.
"How is Bai Xue's husband?"
"Bai Xue has a good relationship with this husband?"
"How many years younger is Snow White's child......"
These are the words that people put on their lips. The person who speaks does not necessarily mean something else. But Bai Changshou felt that every sentence was tingling. Sometimes Bai Changshou is more ruthless:
"You are a poor boy, why can't you listen to me and change your surname to Bai? If your surname was white, would I still suffer like this? ”
At this moment, it seemed that another voice sounded in my ears:
"Are you qualified to ask people about the plateau? You have been tossing for so many years and delaying your daughter's good time, is there a boy willing to change his surname to Bai? Bai Changshou Wow Bai Changshou, you are really a veritable white-long-lived. ”
