Chapter 6: Parting

On this day, Lin Xiaoliang was called out by Zhu Huihui to go shopping, and to her surprise, Yang Xiaoli also came.

"Xiaoli......" Lin Xiaoliang subconsciously wanted to ask her how she was doing recently, and she realized that this topic was very sensitive.

Yang Xiaoli looked at her suspiciously, smiled, and said, "You were surprised to see me?" ”

Lin Xiaoliang smiled a little uncomfortably, "It's not, it's just that Huihui didn't say on the phone that you were coming, I thought you weren't available now." ”

"Not available" is a more euphemistic word, Lin Xiaoliang feels that Yang Xiaoli should not have the heart to go shopping now.

Yang Xiaoli's expression was faint, she looked at the two friends around her, and said softly after a long time: "I'm going back to my hometown." ”

Hearing this, neither Zhu Huihui nor Lin Xiaoliang was in the mood to go shopping, so they dragged her into a teahouse, chose a private room and ordered a pot of tea, and sent the service staff away.

"What the hell is going on? Tell us about it. Saying that, Zhu Huihui's eyes were a little red, "You are always like this, you don't tell us anything, you swallow it in your stomach when you are bitter and tired, as if someone wants to laugh at you when you say it." We care about your self-esteem, and we always don't ask. But this time it's such a big thing, it's hard for us to meet in the future, and you have to explain to us what happened some time ago. ”

Lin Xiaoliang was also a little sad, and nodded when he heard the words: "I know that you have to be strong, but if you don't say anything, won't we be worried?" Even if we can't help, we can explain two sentences, you are stuffy with everything, and you are not afraid of stuffing problems. ”

Yang Xiaoli cried when she heard this, "I'm sorry for worrying you all the time." She wasn't unaware of her friend's concern. But she is used to self-esteem and self-improvement, and she really doesn't want to show her vulnerability in front of others.

Seeing that she wanted to stuff things in her stomach again, Zhu Huihui was a little angry, "Then you say, what happened!" Don't say anything, you want us to die in a hurry, don't you? ”

"Know you have a lot of self-esteem. But as friends, will we die if we rely on it once in a while? ”

"When did I carry you behind your back when I quarreled with Wang Han? I didn't feel ashamed to cry like a madwoman in front of you, what are you writhing here? ”

Lin Xiaoliang was a little speechless when she heard this, what Huihui said was ......

Yang Xiaoli was also a little crying and laughing when she heard this, struggles flashed in her eyes, and finally sighed and said, "Okay." I'll tell you. ”

After a pause, she said, "I think you should have guessed some of them last time you went to my aunt's house." ”

"In my sophomore year, I went out to work and met Su Cheng, who was gentle and cheerful and took great care of me. Begin. I didn't think much of it, I just thought he was taking care of girls. Later, he confessed to me, and I refused, but he didn't give up. In the summer vacation of my junior year, I had an acute appendicitis attack, and he found out in time and sent me to the hospital, which can be regarded as saving my life. Later, I got along more and felt that others were good. Thinking that I could also send back the money I earned while working in the capital, I agreed to deal with someone else. ”

"I thought that the conditions in his family should not be very good, after all, there are not many local people who work several jobs a day like me. But ......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Yang Xiaoli's mouth hooked up with a touch of self-deprecation, "The son of the chairman's family, this term turned out to be so far away from me, but it suddenly fell on Su Cheng's head." ”

"Because he said that his family was very good and that his parents would accept me. I followed him to his house with trepidation. ”

"But it's not as simple as he says it is. His father, brother, and sister really didn't care about my family background, but his mother didn't. ”

Yang Xiaoli smiled bitterly: "Su Cheng's mother has a superior background. Although he was dissatisfied with me, he didn't say anything nasty. But that's what makes me even more embarrassed. She doesn't look down on me explicitly, but even a look from her every move can show contempt for me. She never said that I was bad in front of Su Cheng, but she didn't know behind it. ”

"You don't know how depressed I am with her, for fear that the next moment I will be unable to help but scold, or run away."

Why don't you know that Yang Xiaoli is so sensitive and strong, and when she meets such a noble lady who can't resist, I want to know how painful she is.

Su Cheng always comforted me and said that his mother just couldn't think about it for a while, and when I got along for a long time, I would know that I was good, so I believed it to myself. Later, his mother was sick and hospitalized, his brother was out of town, and his sister had a big family to take care of. What's more, when relatives and friends came to visit the patient, when people asked about me, her mother actually said that I was a nurse hired by the family. ”

Yang Xiaoli couldn't cry, "I grew up so big, I have been poor and suffered, but I have never been so insulted." At that time, I was really determined to break up with Su Cheng, but he knelt in front of me and said that he was the youngest son and could move out after getting married, and begged me to endure it a little longer. ”

"I endured it again and again, but his mother became more and more excessive, not only ignoring my existence and pulling Su Cheng to go on a blind date, but also ran to my aunt to talk nonsense, almost making my aunt angry. What's more, she even began to lock Su Cheng at home and prevent him from coming to me. ”

"The last time you came over, it was Su Cheng who finally came out to look for me, but was pulled back by his mother."

Yang Xiaoli wiped away her tears and said: "I think about it, I don't want to live such a day, I am innocent, and I am a graduate of Capital University, I have neither fancy the Su family's money nor the Su family's power, why should I send it to others." Her words were resolute, but her tone was full of pain that could not be concealed, and it was clear that she was not as relaxed as she had said.

Zhu Huihui pursed her lips, "Didn't you say that apart from his mother, his other family members are not dissatisfied with you?" They didn't help? ”

"Help?" Yang Xiaoli smiled sarcastically, "No matter how good I am, I'm just an outsider, how can they help me in turn?" Even Su Cheng has always helped me in a roundabout way, and he will not fight against his mother in an open fire. ”

"I'm really tired." She lowered her eyes and said lightly.

Lin Xiaoliang and Zhu Huihui looked at each other, and after a long time, Zhu Huihui asked, "Then what did your aunt say?" ”

"She told me not to follow her old path." Yang Xiaoli bowed her head and said.

Speaking of Aunt Yang, there is also a story when she was young. Looking at Yang Xiaoli, I know that the conditions in her family are not very good, and Aunt Yang is from such a poor family, it is also a very unbelievable thing to be able to marry in the city.

Aunt Yang was born in poverty, but when she was young, she was a flower of their family, although she only had the culture of graduating from primary school, she was cool and generous, and she didn't know how many young guys were looking at her, but she ended up marrying someone from the capital, that is, Yang Xiaoli's uncle.

The story of the two is certainly not so simple.

After getting married, Aunt Yang gave birth to a son to Uncle Yang, and the two were handsome men and women, although they had a hard time, they were also harmonious and beautiful.

However, after the Cultural Revolution ended, the people who learned that they could return to the city became agitated and began to look for ways to go back.

Uncle Yang was not an exception, even if he was not without feelings for Aunt Yang.

The later result can be imagined - Uncle Yang left his wife and children and returned to the city, and remarried the girl in the city.

The difference between other rural men and women who have been left behind is probably Aunt Yang's luck-Uncle Yang did not have a child after a year of marriage, so he went to the hospital for examination, but was told that he had lost his fertility due to years of hard work.

This is good, Aunt Yang, who was originally disgusted by her in-laws, suddenly became fragrant and was taken to the city. Uncle Yang also divorced his remarried wife, which can be regarded as a "prodigal son".

It is also because of this that Aunt Yang can have the status of being the master of the house now.

It's a pity that the marriage was saved, but the emotional matter was not so easy to recover. Lin Xiaoliang and Zhu Huihui visited Aunt Yang's house several times, and they could see that Aunt Yang was flattering to Aunt Yang, but Aunt Yang always had a feeling of frustration with Aunt Yang.

I think that if it weren't for her son, if it weren't for her inability to raise her son independently, Aunt Yang would be unwilling to forgive Uncle Yang.

The three of them were lost in the teahouse for a while, considering that Yang Xiaoli was going back to her hometown, Lin Xiaoliang and Zhu Huihui both planned to buy her something to take back. This time, perhaps because she didn't want to waste their minds, Yang Xiaoli rarely refused.

In the end, Lin Xiaoliang bought a dress for Yang Xiaoli, and Zhu Huihui bought her a pair of leather shoes, but she refused to accept more.

Back home, Lin Xiaoliang was still in a bad mood. After four years of classmates, although her relationship with Yang Xiaoli is not as close as that with Zhu Huihui, the friendship is not shallow. Now is not the afterlife, the transportation is convenient, maybe she and Yang Xiaoli will not see each other a few times in their lives.

What she is more worried about is that Yang Xiaoli is a person who admits death, and if she misses Su Cheng, can she be happy in her future marriage?

But Su Cheng has such a mother, and she can't persuade Yang Xiaoli to fight for her happiness.

In fact, with Yang Xiaoli's temperament, she has done enough, but the reality is obviously too cruel.

On August 16th, Lin Xiaoliang and Zhu Huihui went to the train station to see Yang Xiaoli -

"You take these, I made them myself." Knowing her temperament, Lin Xiaoliang didn't prepare anything too valuable, only some food made by herself.

Yang Xiaoli nodded with red eyes, and silently took the big bag of things.

"I'm not as ingenious as a little girl, but I have a mother with good craftsmanship, and I give it to you, and I also eat it." Zhu Huihui also handed over a big bag.

Lin Xiaoqian reached out and hugged Yang Xiaoli, and whispered in her ear: "Take care, there is not only one Su Cheng in this world, but also other men who love you and are worthy of your love." Next time, keep your eyes open and choose one, and make yourself happy. ”

"Yes." Yang Xiaoli replied in a low voice.

The others also hugged Yang Xiaoli one after another, and only reluctantly watched her leave when the radio sound of the train departing sounded.

The train left with the sound of the whistle, and Lin Xiaoliang turned around and wanted to leave, but he saw a man standing in tears more than ten meters away.

It's Su Cheng......

She sighed and looked away. (To be continued)
