Chapter 58: Encountering Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
"I didn't expect you to come to Yundu too, how long have you been here? You know that I am in Yundu, and you didn't take the initiative to contact me. ”
Xie Wanqing subconsciously looked Jiang Xi up and down as she spoke, and sure enough, she grew up and grew taller, Xie Wanqing remembered that she only went to middle school when she left Benjiang, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, thin and small.
It's only been a few years, and five or six years have passed in a flash, and she didn't think there were more outstanding girls back then, but now they are like hibiscus out of the water, with unique characteristics.
"I've been here for two years, and I actually didn't know that Sister Wanqing was in Yundu." Jiang Xi smiled shyly.
It was a chance acquaintance, or the introverted and shy of the elders.
Xie Wanqing couldn't help but sigh: "You're so old, oh my God, I really don't dare to look at my age, oh my God, it feels like a moment, you have grown so big, when I was still at home, you little farts like to play with me, oh my God......"
Xie Wanqing rarely had such a relaxed time, and sighed over and over again.
The excitement of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country is indeed exciting, Xie Wanqing hurriedly pulled Jiang Xi, who was still not very good at talking, into the car.
"Let's go, sister, please eat something delicious, since you met here today, it's fate! In the future, you will have something to rely on in Yundu, if you have anything, just come to me, there is a sister. Although my sister didn't make much money, it was no problem for you to suffer any grievances and stand up for you. ”
Jiang Xi looked at Xie Wanqing enviously, "Sister Wanqing, thank you." ”
Although Xie Wanqing said so, Jiang Xi was embarrassed to really trouble others.
Xie Wanqing is five or six years older than Jiang Xi, so Xie Wanqing has always been the image of a big sister in Jiang Xi's heart. Xie Wanqing didn't study very early, she went out to work when she was almost a teenager, and she went back to Benjiang every three or five times, and at that time she was dressed very overage and fashionable. When the little girls as big as Jiang Xi mentioned Sister Wanqing, they all had stars in their eyes.
In that era, Xie Wanqing was a figure that Jiang Xi and the others admired very much.
Looking back now, the little worship of those days is still there.
Jiang Xi whispered: "Sister Wanqing, when we were children, we all envied you, and secretly said in private that we wanted to be like you." ”
"And now? Are you disappointed to see me again now that you've grown up? Xie Wanqing asked.
Jiang Xi shook his head: "Of course not, you still make me so envious, are you working here?" It's amazing, and I hope I have a good job in the future, and I can drive like you. ”
Xie Wanqing's head turned very well, the whole person was young and beautiful, and she interpreted the appearance of a fashionable urban girl very well.
Today's Xie Wanqing is much more mainstream than when she worked outside for a few days and then returned to Benjiang. Moreover, Xie Wanqing can no longer find a trace of rural atmosphere, which can definitely be regarded as a successful example of gorgeous transformation.
Xie Wanqing's successful and confident temperament made Jiang Xi envious, and Xie Wanqing's appearance gave Jiang Xi a concrete look of success in his heart.
Xie Wanqing raised her eyebrows: "It's very simple to drive, what are you doing now?" Take the time to learn to drive, and you can learn it well in two to three months. ”
When Jiang Xi heard this, he laughed, knowing that his words made Xie Wanqing wrong, but he didn't explain much.
"Well, it's time to learn it. But now I'm in school, Sister Wanqing, you know the situation of our family, learning to drive also costs money, I don't have a student loan, my parents borrowed some from my neighbors for tuition, I have a part-time job, and I have to work part-time for living expenses...... But after I graduate, I have my own job, and I will learn it as soon as possible. A girl who can drive, it's amazing......"
Jiang Xi took a deep breath, as if it was a bit laborious to say this, not so easy.
Xie Wanqing was stunned: "You...... Still reading? ”
Jiang Xi nodded: "Well, it's only a junior in the next semester, and there are still two years." ”
"Uh...... Which university? Xie Wanqing asked subconsciously.
"Yundu University." Jiang Xi replied honestly.
Xie Wanqing's eyes showed surprise, she didn't expect it at all, "In a small place like Benjiang, we can actually get a top student from Yundu University, it seems that your family is in Benjiang." ”
"It's not like you have to borrow money." Jiang Xi took a deep breath, very helpless.
People with better economic conditions will feel that it is a good thing to glorify the lintel and glorify the ancestors when they are admitted to Yunda. But their family was almost torn apart because of this.
My father was a worker back then, but after suffering a work-related injury, he returned to Benjiang and was half-paralyzed in bed. The mother had to pay for all the expenses of the family alone, including the grandparents and those difficult relatives.
If her mother can insist that she finish high school, she should be content, but who knows that she is too competitive and ignorant, and she was actually admitted to Yundu University.
High school teachers have been visiting their homes one after another, doing ideological work for their parents at home, so that the family must continue her education, and the university can provide student loans. Jiang Xi cried at home for several days, and finally won this opportunity.
Xie Wanqing heard Jiang Xi mention this matter at home, and some old memories of that small place gradually recovered.
"Oh, yes, your dad hasn't been in good health."
I heard that when Jiang Xi's father was injured at work and returned to Benjiang more than ten years ago, a gentleman showed it and said that he would not live long, and the matchmaker who had a lot of things was ready to tell Jiang Xi's mother that someone was coming. Who knew that Jiang Xi's father was still alive all these years, and he always held his breath, which was also an accident.
Jiang Xi's mother has been unable to go out to work to make money because her father is sick in bed, so she can only stay in Benjiang and guard the waste man in bed. Everyone in the town said that the Jiang family man had hurt his wife, and Jiang Xi's mother had spent her whole life on that half-dead person, which was pitiful.
Jiang Xi buried his head, and didn't want to talk about family affairs a little.
At the beginning, she insisted on going to college, and had a lot of disputes with her parents, and at that time she cried desperately for a few days and nights, and now she feels pain in her heart when she thinks about it.
"By the way, I saw a new article today, is it really about you?" Xie Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
If so, then the Xu family should have found her for a while, why does she still look like this?
"Hmm......" Jiang Xi nodded slightly, not wanting to mention more.
Xie Wanqing sighed infinitely in her heart, this person's fate is really ......
She followed Sheng Jia to Yundu, and after so many years of hardship, in exchange for today's dazzling dress, decent income and work, but with so much effort, it is not a bizarre background for the enemy's family.
"It's good, the Xu family is also a big family, and it will at least save you a few decades of struggle in the future."
Xie Wanqing's words fell, and then she shook her head: "No, if you go back to the Xu family to be a daughter, then you don't have to struggle, you just need to enjoy the rich life of your daughter." Those of us who have worked hard for a few years are not as good as your family background. Jiang Xi, you take advantage of this opportunity, go back to the Xu family, and after graduating from college, the Xu family will arrange a bright future for you, and the work and future in-laws will not be bad. ”
Xie Wanqing said, really full of envy.
Back then, she was able to replace Jiang Xi and become Sheng Jianian's life-saving benefactor.
Today, she can't replace Jiang Xi as the daughter of the Xu family.
When Xie Wanqing thought of this, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, she suddenly sobered up, why did she meet Sheng Jianian, and why she was able to leave Benjiang, from an ordinary working girl to the right-hand man of the young president of Shengshi Group.
Thinking about it this time, Xie Wanqing's back was chilled.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Xi with a little panic. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xi was also looking at her, but Jiang Xi's eyes were clean and free of impurities.
Xie Wanqing suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly realized that she was a little out of shape.
She quickly adjusted her mood and smiled: "Why, look at your unwillingness." ”
Jiang Xi buried his head and smiled bitterly, "I used to have my own life......"
She didn't say much, and the silence was enough to show that she wasn't interested in the matter at all.
Xie Wanqing's back was cold, and cold sweat was dripping.
She has been in Yundu for so many years, and she has long forgotten anything that happened in Benjiang, but reality suddenly appeared and gave her a painful blow.
"What's wrong?" Xie Wanqing was a little absent-minded, but she was able to hide herself well.
"Sister Wanqing, do you think I should go back to Xu's house too?" Jiang Xi asked.
When Xie Wanqing heard this, she thought about it seriously, "Actually, how to say it, it depends on what you think." Many people spend their entire lives without the happiness that you can easily achieve. But many people also think that this kind of low-hanging fruit is very boring, so they want to toss and break through by themselves, they call it meaning, the meaning of life, the meaning of life. ”
Jiang Xi listened carefully and nodded slowly.
That's right, that's what it means to her heart.
That's what she thinks, she was originally studying and living hard in her own track, but suddenly one day she was told that if she didn't have that, would she accept that her way of life and learning was wrong?
"Sister Wanqing, what about you?" Jiang Xi asked, "Then which one are you?" ”
Xie Wanqing glanced at Jiang Xi with a smile, and she said: "I, I, am the same person as you before, I have no choice, I have to live hard and work hard, and my value can only be exerted in my work." ”
Jiang Xi was a little confused when he heard it, "Oh......"
Xie Wanqing paused, and then asked: "Ordinary people are very happy after learning that they are the daughter of a rich family, why do you seem to be distressed?" ”
At least from Xie Wanqing's point of view, she couldn't understand why Jiang Xi was distressed, this was definitely not a bad thing, so Jiang Xi was pretending to be hypocritical like this, or was there something else hidden?
"I have my own life trajectory, and this thing has suddenly disrupted my original life." Jiang Xi said sullenly.
When Xie Wanqing heard this, she laughed, she said, "Oh, I understand you, it turned out that you were at a loss, little girl, were you scared by such a thing?" It's okay, it's a good thing, it's good to get used to it slowly, don't worry. ”
Jiang Xi wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Xie Wanqing's relaxed expression, and began to reflect on himself, did he really think too much?
