Chapter 340: You're a Girl, Why Do You Have to Work So Hard?
Bai Xue waited until three o'clock in the morning to take a look at Liu Xiyao's house, but she did not come back.
Somehow, she cares about Liu Xiyao very much, and for the fact that she often goes to nightclubs, Bai Xue didn't find a chance if she held her stomach.
After getting up in the morning and washing, Bai Xue quickly put on light makeup, and her long hair didn't look very messy. A man sits at a dining table, drinking milk, eating slices of bread and looking at his phone. I thought that maybe Han Yi would send her a message or two, but when she found out that it wasn't, maybe the expectations weren't so high, and she wasn't so disappointed.
When she tied her hair with a black leather band, she heard movement outside the door, it should be Liu Xiyao coming back.
"Come here!" Bai Xue was serious, sitting upright, and when she saw Liu Xiyao, her eyes were staring at her extremely sharply, "Come and talk!" ”
Liu Xiyao, who was like a thief, was startled, glanced in the direction of the dining table near the kitchen, and then lowered her head and obediently moved to sit opposite her.
"I called you so many times at night and sent so many WeChat messages, why didn't you reply to me?"
Bai Xue was very angry, and she was bullied by Deng Baoyuan in the bar for less than two days, so she told her not to go again, but she didn't expect that she was just playing sloppy with herself, and she played until she didn't return all night.
"I'm sorry! The phone is dead, look, look! Liu Xiyao put the black-screen phone in front of Bai Xue with a hippie smile, pressed it vigorously, clicked, and there was no response.
If he didn't really care, how could he be so worried about her?
"Don't skee! I didn't come back all night, where did I go? Bai Xue taught her like her own sister, "Don't you already have your tuition and living expenses?" It's good to work part-time for a few hours in that brand store during the day, it doesn't have to be like this! Really, you're still a student, what if you happen to that situation again······"
Bai Xue has said all the truths, and she will really feel sorry for her, she is not like those drunk customers in that kind of bar night market, she comes and goes freely, but more like the marketing and wine trust there, she often drinks and drinks uncomfortably, drinking until she vomits, and it is not uncommon for her to encounter people with unclean hands and feet to do something to her.
Liu Xiyao, who had drunk wine all night and her head was still swollen and painful, did not look very good. How could she not know these truths herself! It's just that life is like this, yes, this year's tuition is there, and what about the next year? Doesn't it cost money for the younger brother in the family to study? Who would be afraid of having too much money?
"Got it!"
Liu Xiyao, who was sleepy and uncomfortable, seemed to be a little impatient, got up and said, "I'm going to take a bath and sleep, you go to work." ”
"You stop! I'm not done yet! Bai Xue seemed to be determined to stop her from continuing like this.
Liu Xiyao's eyes were moist and bloodshot, and her emotions suddenly soared to a peak, "Enough!" Not everyone is like you! has a high education, good looks, and such a rich boyfriend who loves you! I'm not as smart as you, I'm not as good at reading, and I'm not as good-looking as you······ Do you think I want to do that? I am tired and tired every day, and as soon as I open my eyes, I think about how to earn money and how to reduce the burden on my family! Our home is a poor mountainous area, you know? I don't want my brother to go to college and have no money to go to college, that's the only hope we want to go out of here, you know? There are a lot of things I don't want to think about and I don't want to say, I don't need anyone's sympathy! Don't try to convince me of your reasoning······"
Liu Xiyao held back her tears and didn't fall, and turned around and walked towards her room cleanly. She is young, but she has a lot of experience, and she knows that it takes strength to raise her head, courage to bow her head, and backbone in normal times.
In her eyes, Bai Xue is enviable. A pediatrician with a good image and temperament, with so many good friends around her, at least the word money cannot be a problem in her life. But for Liu Xiyao herself, life can be described as difficult.
Bai Xue stood outside the door of her room, raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, put it down again, and after a moment of silence, she packed up and prepared to go to work in the hospital.
"Am I being too nosy?" "Am I going too far?" ”······
She is an emotionally sensitive girl, but she is by no means the kind of person who will throw problems on others, she always reflects on herself at the first time. So, sometimes, whether it's her own problem or someone else's problem, it's always her who is troubled.
Liu Xiyao doesn't fully understand Bai Xue, she can live like this, not because of others, but because of her own values and emotional outlook, which are consistent.
Bai Xue can see from the luggage that Han Yi moved out of the house that she doesn't have anything valuable, and even the bag she carries is not as good as Liu Xiyao's, and her clothes and shoes are not as expensive as hers, not as much as hers.
She was not so stupid as not to notice what Liu Xiyao meant by those words, in Liu Xiyao's eyes, she probably felt that Han Yi let her live so immortal, not fighting, not grabbing, not using, not caring because she could have those material things at any time.
Bai Xue didn't deny the implications either, maybe it was, if she had Liu Xiyao's background and experience, she might be the same, and at this moment, she only needed to know her heart clearly and clearly.
Many girls often hear "You're a girl, why do you have to work so hard?" Such a sentence, especially a beautiful and hard-working girl like Bai Xue.
She was also asked, and every time she was asked, she had a smile on her face, and she was not in a hurry to refute or explain, but she knew in her heart that it was because she was a girl that she had to work hard.
It seems that for as long as she can remember, her family has never had any expectations for her. For example, my mother would always tell her: You are a girl, you don't need to work so hard, just find a better person to marry. They didn't even want her to go to college, and they didn't support her to study abroad.
How much their family wished Bai Xue was a boy, and that patriarchal thinking had been imprisoning his parents at that time, so she was like a dispensable person since she was a child, and only her sister loved her.
It's all because she is a girl, everyone has very low requirements for her, and they don't expect her to make much money in the future, they just hope that she can marry a good family and live a peaceful and stable life.
But precisely because the family ignored her and asked for nothing, out of rebellion or something, she just wanted to try to mix something up and see where her ability was. Don't look at her as desireless, but she is still very herself.
It's because she's a girl, she doesn't want to be the kind of girl in the eyes of most people, and she doesn't want to live the kind of stable life that most girls think they want to live. Actually, Liu Xiyao and Bai Xue are the same.
There is a saying that things gather like and people gather in groups, and this may be the case that they became friends so quickly.
Keiko is probably the most successful and typical example of these people.
When they got together to chat a few days ago, Keiko told her about a friend she admired very much:
I have a friend L, who is a goddess-like existence in my heart, but also a desperate Saburo.
At the beginning of college, we were all lost, had no goals, and had nothing to do. She has already set a plan for herself, to be a minister in her sophomore year, to be the chairman in her junior year, to pass English level 6, and to take a small and language course. So at that time, we were basically playing, and she was busy all day long, busy with studies and work.
As a goddess, L has a good figure, and before I knew her, I always thought that all goddesses were born beautiful and had their own fair lady. But after living with her for a while, I really believe that "all the beauties in this world are actually very diligent", basically in the afternoon, she doesn't eat anything except fruit, has three yoga classes a week, and goes to the gym three times. As a goddess, in fact, she is not lazy, which is also a girl's hard work and persistence.
At that time, we all wanted to be comfortable and loved to wear sneakers, but we always envied the temperamental beauties in stiletto heels on TV. But L is different, she deliberately cultivated her temperament at the beginning, and when I first met her, I never saw her wearing high heels, except for a pair of sneakers worn in physical education class, the others were high heels. I've seen her break her skin's heels, and it's miserable, but that's the price to pay for wanting to be prettier.
In her junior year, she became the president of the student union according to her own plan, and because of an activity at school, she met a former senior, who is now an HR of a company. The senior admired her and invited her to go to the company for a paid internship. Then, when we lived in chaos every day, and we didn't know where the road ahead was, she started an internship and work.
Last year, when the movie "The Leftover is King" was released, she asked me to watch it, and then cried in the movie theater, she said that she liked the heroine played by Shu Qi very much, which made her feel the same as not only that they are all very good and single, but also that she is also envious of the petty bourgeois life of the heroine, and she hopes that she can become better and better like her, so that she can be independent and become the real support of her parents.
Now, she is interning in a good foreign company, and the company has decided to keep her, and now she is just like Shu Qi in the movie, very beautiful, confident and able to take charge of herself. When I saw her walking towards me in her high-heeled shoes that day, I really felt that she had successfully become the person she liked.
When we ate together, we drank some red wine, and I lost the restraint that I hadn't seen for a long time, and I asked her: Goddess, you finally live the life you want, and you are right to work hard.
She took a sip of red wine, then looked at me and said to me very seriously: Because as a girl, I want too many things, I want the latest spring, summer and autumn clothes, I want the latest bags on the counter, I want big-name cosmetics, and expensive eye creams, and I know that these things will always be given to myself, and my heart is the most down-to-earth.
As a very ordinary girl, I am also vain, comparative, but when I was studying, I had no money so I didn't go to consumption, but this doesn't mean that I don't desire, I can only continue to work hard, to make myself better, to satisfy my vanity as a girl, I don't want to rely on others, I just want to use the money I earned innocently to give myself what I want. Because I will spend money, I also want to make sure that I will make money.
I want to use the money I earn to satisfy my vanity as a girl, and I don't rely on others, and the reason why I work hard is very simple but very real.
Needless to say, Bai Xue knows best, Keiko has her goddess, and in Bai Xue's eyes, Keiko is also her goddess.
Keiko Says:
I remember watching a show before, Yang Mi was asked by the host in an interview, "If you want to buy a house for your mother, do you need to ask Hawick Lau?" She said, "No, I have money." ”
At that time, I was really shocked by the phrase "I have money", but in the end, I slowly envied it. "Rich" can indeed put people on a relatively equal footing and live more freely. I want to live a life as I want, more than I want to live a stable life.
As a girl, the purpose of my efforts is actually very simple, I want to live my life as I want.
There is a very popular saying on the Internet before, which goes like this: The purpose of my efforts to make money is to make my mother as crisp when she buys things for herself as she does when she buys things for me.
This is also one of my own wishes, I hope that one day I will be able to afford what my parents like without worrying about the price on the sign. My parents don't have to worry about whether they will spend too much money on me when they buy things, because they know that I have money.
No matter how many years it takes, I wish I could buy my favorite masks, makeup, clothes, no matter how expensive. I can buy things for myself, and I don't have to worry about not having much money to buy things for my future children after the money is spent; I don't have to reach out to the person next to me to ask for money, he gave it his heart, and he didn't give it to me.
Because I'm a girl, I don't have big dreams, but I still want to struggle, earn money in my own way, so that I can always rely on my own food.
It's really more important than anything else to have yourself!
Thinking about what Keiko said, and then thinking about Liu Xiyao now, they are all girls who work hard and hard, but everyone has their own way.
Bai Xue doesn't want to fall in love because of money and to please someone, this is her view of love. She earns her own bread, she just wants that person's love.
A really smart and reliable boy must appreciate the kind of girl who is independent, strong, and kind. That's why she hated Han Yi and said that she didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, because she wanted to be affirmed by Han Yi.
The kind of evenly matched love she wants is: I have bread, you have it, we can exchange food, and talk about love by the way. I don't have to love someone because of money, and I don't have to feel too humble because I love someone, that's why I want to work hard as a girl.
