Chen Si took the initiative to send a text message to Chen Qian: "After you get off work, go directly to the gate of the Grand Theater and wait for me, there will be a special performance of "Liqiu" at 8 o'clock tonight." ”

"When do you want to watch a drama, I know that Liqiu is being played in the past two days. But it's very expensive, and with that money, we might as well eat it. Chen Qian replied on the other end of the phone.

"You don't have to pay for it, someone sent it."

"Who sent it?"

"No matter so much, anyway, you go to the door of the Grand Theater after work, and you won't see you there."

As soon as Chen Si got off work, he went to the gate of the Grand Theater to wait for Chen Qian. At 7:15, Chen Qian finally appeared in Chen Si's sight. Chen Si ran to him with joy.

Chen Qian is Chen Si's boyfriend. When Chen Qian was born, he was not called Chen Qian, but his grandfather named him Chen Er, which originated from his grandfather, who liked to play the flute since he was a child, and he worshiped Nie Er. So I hope that the eldest grandson of his family can grow up to be as accomplished in music as Nie Er.

It's just that when Chen Qian grabbed lots at his first birthday banquet, he grabbed the banknotes from the table covered with a large red clay cloth and placed brushes, dictionaries, rulers, flutes, abacus and hundred-yuan bills. So angry that his grandfather sighed again and again. In a fit of anger, he spoke, and when he saw Qian Qian's eyes, he changed his name to Chen Qiande.

Originally, Chen Qian's parents only thought that the old man was angry, but he really went to the household registration office of the Public Security Bureau, stuffed a cigarette for the household registration police, and changed it to Chen Qian. In order to change the name, Chen Qian's parents and the old man didn't talk for half a year. It's all changed, and I can't change it back. After all, the Public Security Bureau is not run by their family, so they can do whatever they want. The name is vulgar, but the cheap name is easy to feed.

Chen Qian's parents and Chen Si's parents were both employees of the city's pharmaceutical factory, and they both lived in the same fund-raising welfare house distributed by the pharmaceutical factory. Originally, the pharmaceutical factory was also a good unit belonging to T City, and how many people sharpened their heads and wanted to get in.

In the 90s, in the great wave of state-owned enterprise restructuring, the once-prosperous pharmaceutical factory finally became insolvent and declared bankruptcy under the state's policy of self-financing.

Chen Si didn't know why the leading pharmaceutical factory in T City, with tens of thousands of employees, would close down overnight, but in her young memory, she always remembered that her father and neighbors and uncles would carry bags and bags of large pieces of salt and many large bottles of glucose liquid secretly home, and if they couldn't finish it at home, they would give it to relatives in the countryside.

At that time, in T City, there were no cold drinks except ice cream in summer, and the whole bottle of glucose was sweet, and Chen Si could drink a large bottle every time. When Zhida grew up, Chen Sicai realized that glucose was not a drink, but was used for infusion.

When I was in middle school, there was an article in the text that read:

Big rat big mouse, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, don't care about it. The dying woman is a paradise. Paradise and Paradise, I have what I have.

Rats and rats, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, Mo I Kende. The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Happy country, happy country, I am straight?

Rats and rats, no food for my seedlings! Three-year-old girl, Mo I am willing to work. The deceased woman is suitable for the suburbs. Le Jiao Le Jiao, who is the eternal number?

Later, Chen thought that tens of thousands of factories produced tens of thousands of rats, and if they didn't go out of business, it would be abnormal.

The employees of the pharmaceutical factory are from Tiannan and Haibei, and Chen Qian's great-grandfather fled from Shandong before the liberation, and there is no way to verify which generation Chen Sijia came from. Therefore, although Chen Si and Chen Qian have the same surname, they are not from the same ancestry.

The two of them are in the same class in elementary and junior high school, and they are also childhood sweethearts, and they live very closely, so they naturally date and establish a relationship after a long time.

Facing his college student boyfriend, Chen Si has always had low self-esteem in his heart, because Chen Si has never entered college, and in fact, Chen Si has not even finished high school.

It's not that she doesn't want to miss it, it's just that the family can't come up with the money. Chen Si's father initially found a job driving a car for a private employer after being laid off, although he was a temporary worker, but the salary was not small, and the family of five lived a good life.

But it happened that when he got out of the car, he walked on the mountain road in the rain, the car overturned into a ditch, and the driver died on the spot.

Chen Si's mother, Zhang Yuying, was only a workshop worker in the workshop who labeled and collected drug bottles in the pharmaceutical factory, and has been taking care of her children at home to do housework since she was laid off.

For a family like theirs, it is not easy to raise one child, let alone three. When Zhang Yuying was in a car accident not long after her father, she said to her solemnly, "Chen Si, my mother originally wanted to provide for the three of you to go to college, but it seems that the current situation of our family is not good." There has to be someone to sacrifice, you are the boss, so Mom can only sacrifice you......"

Chen Siwei nodded with red eyes.

Because of his low education and young age, Chen Si began to work as a greeter in a restaurant, and later found a job as a tally clerk at the only supermarket chain in T City after being introduced by a friend. From the initial tally, to the cashier, to the team leader, to the current store manager. That's 10 years. Chen Si also obtained a college diploma through self-examination through his own efforts.

Chen Qian took the ticket in Chen Si's hand, looked at it, frowned and asked, "Three hundred and fifty-one, it's really extravagant." Chen Si, it's a man who gave you this ticket, right? Does he have any intentions for you? ”

"What nonsense, it's a teacher who sings, and his grandchildren are six years old."

"As the old saying goes, the drama is ruthless, and the bitch is unrighteous. Don't fall into the trap of others, you must know that the old cow likes to eat tender grass the most. ”

"Chen Qian, why are you like this, Teacher Jiang has a good character." In Chen Si's heart, Mr. Jiang is a respectable old artist, and at the moment she was described by Chen Qian as so dirty, and she was very unhappy, but because of her birthday, she didn't want to be angry with Chen Qian, so she took Chen Qian's arm, "It's still early to leave the show, let's go to the underground restaurant to have some food first." ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Qian pulled Chen Si to the ticket hall, and Chen Si was a little puzzled.

"What are we going to do at the ticket office?"

"You'll get it later."

In the ticket hall, there are several couples who look like people buying tickets.

Chen Qian pulled a young man in the back and said, "Handsome guy, do you want to see Liqiu?" The man nodded.

"I have two, and five hundred will sell you."

The man took it and looked at it, "One price, four hundred." ”

"Okay, deal." So the two tickets that Mr. Jiang gave Chen Si immediately became the four hundred-yuan bills in Chen Qian's hand.

Chen Si was so angry that he ran to the ticket sales hall.

Chen Qian chased after him.

"Chen Si, don't be angry. What's so beautiful about that drama, that kind of elegant art is not something that laypeople like us can appreciate. You see, we made four hundred out of thin air. You should be happy that your future husband is a promising young man with great business acumen. ”

"Why can't we understand it. Another day, Mr. Jiang will ask me, what is the performance of this Liqiu, how can I tell him. Am I going to tell him that I sold the tickets he gave him? ”

"It's hard to say? If he really asks, you answer him, it's really a good act. ”

"But, but, today is my birthday, and I've never been to any big theater, and I've never seen any dramas." Chen Si felt aggrieved for a while.

"Watch a drama, what's it, when we have money in the future, I'll charter it for you. What is the theater in T City, let's go to the National Center for the Performing Arts in the future. You can watch as many shows as you want. ”

"I don't want anything in the future. I just want to watch a play on my birthday. ”

Chen Si shed tears sadly.

But Chen Qian still did not agree to Chen Si's request.

The two parted unhappily.
