Chapter 60 Reunion
Ning Guang arrived too early, and waited for more than an hour at the door of the only bus station in the town before he saw Shen Anyi, who was carrying a small bag crossbody, get out of the car.
Speaking of which, they had been separated for several years, and they were still children then, and now they were girls, and it should have been difficult to identify.
But Ning Guang missed this only friend too deeply, and still saw Shen Anyi from the crowd at a glance.
The prettiest one is...... Regardless of whether this is true or not, anyway, in Ning Guang's eyes, there is no more beautiful person in this world than Shen Anyi, regardless of men, women and children.
“…… Little light? It was Shen Anyi, who looked around after getting off the bus, until Ningguang stood in front of her and shouted excitedly, and then hesitated to ask, "You ...... You're so beautiful now! ”
Ning Guang has occasionally heard such praise in the past two years, and he has long since changed from being flattered by disbelief when he first heard it to being bland.
Because she has just caused a storm because of her beauty, if other people say that, she will definitely be angry.
But it was Shen Anyi who said this, and she felt happy and a little embarrassed: "What's the matter, it's far worse than you." ”
Immediately, he noticed that Shen Anyi looked haggard, and asked with concern, "Are you tired on the road?" Let's hurry back to the village, you can rest first and then we talk? ”
“…… I didn't tell my grandmother about it this time. Shen Anyi originally wanted to say something, but when she heard this, she pursed her mouth and shook her head, "I don't want to see the people over there, I just want to meet you." ”
Ning Guang was stunned when he heard this, and then there was a kind of heartfelt joy.
Although she doesn't like the Zhao family either, the Zhao family is Shen Anyi's foreign family after all.
So Ning Guang didn't expect that Shen Anyi didn't want to see the Zhao family but wanted to see herself after many years in Liming Town, and she only saw herself, she was really happy in her heart and couldn't say.
Because she is not like other people, other people have family and friendship, and even love at this age, their emotional world is rich and abundant, and the lack of a friend will not have a particularly big shock. But for Ning Guang, there are really only a handful of people who are good to her in this life, Shen Anyi is the only one, it is difficult for her not to have an exclusive mind, I hope that Shen Anyi also attaches equal importance to herself, and I hope that she is also special in Shen Anyi's mind.
"Are you hungry? Shall we go to dinner first? She tried not to make the smile on her lips too obvious, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still exuded irrepressible joy, and after being stunned for a while, she remembered to continue to care about her friend, "Or can we find a place to rest?" ”
Ning Guang touched his pocket when he said this, a little apprehensive.
In order to see Shen Anyi, she took out all the money she managed to get during this time, but she didn't know if it was enough to entertain friends?
"Are you hungry?" Shen Anyi looked at her when she heard this.
Ning Guang immediately shook her head, although she ran over in the morning without having any intention of eating, but in front of her only friend who she hadn't seen for many years, let alone not eating a breakfast, she was full of motivation to let her not eat for a day.
"Then let's find a place to talk." A touch of patience flashed between Shen Anyi's eyebrows, trying her best to control her emotions but she was a little overwhelmed.
This made Ning Guang's joy a little more restrained, and she felt in a daze that her friend seemed to have encountered great trouble.
This hunch was fulfilled moments later, as soon as the two of them sat down on a fairly clean river embankment outside the town.
Shen Anyi didn't speak, tears flowed down first: "Xiaoguang, do you know? My dad...... My dad is divorcing my mom! ”
“!!!!!” Although Ning Guang somewhat guessed that Shen Anyi had encountered a difficulty, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words!
In the country, which is quite conservative at this time, divorce is definitely a rare thing. For children, if their parents are divorced, whether they follow the man or the woman, it is definitely not a good life.
Following his father has to be tempered by his stepmother, and following his mother is dragging an oil bottle.
In the past, Ning Guang occasionally heard that there were people in a village who were divorced, including Lan Xiaohua eloping with someone, but she didn't pay attention to it, because she didn't care about the fate of those people.
But she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to Shen Anyi.
Especially Shen Anyi's parents' marriage is not equal, Zhao Xia is a pure country beauty, and her status in the family is not high, and she has a transcendent status by marrying a city person, and even becomes a well-known blessed person in ten miles and eight towns. Once divorced, what will Zhao Xia do?
Okay, what should Zhao Xia do, Ning Guang is actually not very worried, the question is what about Shen Anyi?
She is still in high school, and like Ning Guang, she has not reached the time of self-reliance, if she follows Zhao Xia, Zhao Xia may not even be able to afford the tuition.
Ning Guang dropped out of school by herself, she felt that it was strange for her to continue to study.
But with Shen Anyi, Ning Guang felt absolutely unbearable.
She has always firmly believed that girls like Shen Anyi don't go to college, or even go abroad to study for a doctorate, which is a tyrannical thing and a waste of God-given talent.
Of course, maybe Shen Anyi's father is willing to take his daughter with him, but after the stepmother enters the door...... Thinking of the days in the hands of his stepmother that his Abo Miao occasionally revealed on National Day, Ning Guang felt cold.
Again, she felt that Miao Guoqing, or herself, was trembling in such an environment of being oppressed and enslaved.
But it was Shen Anyi who fell into this situation...... Ning Guang secretly clenched his fists, and said in his heart that if there was really a stepmother who jumped out to bully Shen Anyi in the future, even if she was shot, she would admit it, and she would definitely kill that slut!!
Shen Anyi didn't pay attention to these thoughts of her friends, in fact, she worked hard to get here, just to talk to Ning Guang, she was already crying to death at this time, crying and talking about it, probably she noticed the clue when she was in junior high school, when she was studying in the provincial capital, and she would go back to the county to reunite with her parents during the holidays.
At the beginning, his father Shen Qiang specially shirked various jobs to accompany his daughter.
Later, he got busy, and Shen Anyi went back three or four times before he could see him once. But at this time, Shen Qiang still loved his daughter very much, and often stuffed her with money and things, and once even got a necklace for Shen Anyi, saying that it was platinum, which is very popular among young girls in big cities.
As a result, when Zhao Xia saw this necklace, she became suspicious and asked him how he knew that young girls in big cities were popular to wear this? And Shen Qiang's salary and bonuses are basically handed over to Zhao Xia, where did he get the money to buy such an expensive necklace?
Shen Qiang casually explained that he had heard from someone, Zhao Xia didn't say anything at the time, and after a while, when Shen Anyi went back, Zhao Xia pulled her daughter to cry, saying that your father had an ambiguous relationship with the new female subordinate in the Environmental Protection Bureau and didn't admit it...... Young girls in big cities think gold necklaces are tacky and like to wear white gold necklaces, so they listen to what the female subordinate said.
Zhao Xia's words were not plain suspicions, because the female subordinate also had a platinum necklace, which was exactly the same as Shen Anyi's. The female subordinate is a recent college graduate who studies in a big city. From Zhao Xia's point of view, she is not beautiful, and her appearance is not even as good as her old self, but she is young.
That kind of vigorous vitality is something she doesn't have at her age anyway.
The so-called necklace that pleases his daughter is estimated to have been brought by Shen Qiang when he coaxed his little lover to be happy.
And Zhao Xia, as the original partner, has nothing, it can be seen how weak Shen Qiang's affection for her is, of course Zhao Xia is unwilling, she asks her daughter to stand on her side and help persuade Shen Qiang to change her mind.
Of course, the man who had already given birth to an outside heart was not so easy to pull back, Shen Qiang didn't admit anything, and he also took out Zhao Xia's private behavior of following and inquiring about his affairs in the unit, and blamed Zhao Xia for not trusting him.
As for saying that the necklace of the female subordinate is the same as the necklace for his daughter, Shen Qiang's explanation is that he saw that the necklace was good-looking, so he bought one for his daughter anyway. If the daughter doesn't like it, he can take it and change it. But the mother and daughter can't doubt his love for his daughter, after all, he is a big man, where can he distinguish so many chains, which one is good-looking? I want to surprise my daughter again, so I compare the choices of other college students, thinking that the sunshine of female college students must be fine, and it is normal.
As for why he didn't buy it with Zhao Xia, he also made a lot of sense, because the money was not enough, and besides, this kind of necklace was liked by young girls, how old was Zhao Xia, why did she wear so many things?
Zhao Xia was so angry that she couldn't find any other evidence, so she started from the economy and asked him if the platinum necklace was cheap, just with his little pocket money, how could he afford it?
Shen Qiang's face was not good-looking at this time, and he said that he had helped others, and some thank-you gifts from others quietly stayed in order to buy gifts for his daughter.
Zhao Xia took the opportunity to find out who she helped, how much thank you money was given, and when was it given...... Shen Anyi heard that it was wrong, and asked her father directly, did she accept bribes from others?
At this point, although Shen Qiang was impatient with his wife, he still coaxed his daughter in various ways.
However, Shen Anyi was worried after speculating that her father had received bribes in private, and after trying to persuade her to no avail, she resorted to a killer trick to tell her grandparents to threaten her.
Her grandparents are old. Leather. If he knew that his son did this, he would definitely not show favoritism, and he would even get rid of his position in the Environmental Protection Bureau!
Shen Qiang also knew this, so he mentioned the relationship between father and daughter, and asked Shen Anyi if she was her daughter, and if she missed her love over the years?
even tactfully told Shen Anyi that even if he divorced Zhao Xia, his daughter would still be a daughter, and he would never treat his own flesh and blood because of his wife...... But precisely because Shen Anyi has feelings for this father, in her three views and cognition, corruption and bribery are wrong, and there will be no good end.
So she struggled to persuade Shen Qiang to return the bribe, and even surrendered to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to strive for leniency...... Shen Anyi thought that she was saving her father, but Shen Qiang was disheartened, feeling that her daughter was still close to her mother, and she was not at all towards her own father.
“…… My dad said that if I reported him to my grandparents, he would not end well, and he would not let my mother go, he would definitely divorce my mother, and he would drive my mother back to Chaoyang Village! Shen Anyi hugged Ning Guang and cried, "My mother begged me not to say it, but if I don't say it, what should I do if my father is exposed and reported by others in the future?" ”
She has always been smooth sailing when she grows up, she has never encountered something really difficult, the first time she encountered a problem in her life is so complicated, and the relatives she relied on in the past either can't say it, or is forcing her to make a decision.
The problem is that she doesn't know how to decide the right one, let alone how to decide to protect her father and mother at the same time, and protect their family?
