10. A Preliminary Study of Love
Things are coincidences, and it is said that no book can be written without coincidence. Just a short time after Sun Erniang left the tea pavilion, Zhang Ping'an appeared on the Zhao Ji tea pavilion.
Zhang Ping'an came back from Huai'an. My parents were very happy when they returned home, and because they didn't come back for the summer vacation, they didn't know what had happened at home. Parents are always worried about their sons. Seeing that his son came back safely, it was really a stone that fell to the ground. Tell my son to play at home and don't go outside to cause trouble.
Staying at home every day, watching my father busy with work, I want to help and pass the time. Zhang's mother said: "Son, don't touch your hands, that's not what you have to do!" ”
Zhang's mother encouraged him to go out and have fun, as long as he didn't cause trouble. In the past, spring outings were called "outings", but now it is autumn, so it's called autumn appreciation!
I don't know if I appreciate autumn or not. But he reminded Zhang Ping'an that he wanted to go to Zhaozhuang to play. The scenery of Zhaozhuang is beautiful, the people are even more beautiful, and the sister Jin Ju, who always thinks of it in her heart, is time to test and tempt.
This meeting was a tea pavilion again. When Zhao Jinju saw Zhang Ping'an, he said, "I'm back!" It means he's finally coming home from school.
Yes! Zhang Ping'an came home, he planned to go to Zhao Jinju's house today. I also had a meal at Zhao's house last time. But today he just wanted to invite Zhao Jinju out and accompany him to enjoy the autumn together, so that he could talk and say some things that he had thought about, but he didn't expect to meet him in the tea pavilion. In the preliminary speech, it was found that Sun Erniang was a string of relatives. Let's go, the opportunity came, and the two happened to talk.
"You, it's a pity not to connect in tandem, Beijing is fun!"
"Yes, Beijing must be fun, but it's a pity I didn't go!" Listening to her tone, she regretted it a little, and regret showed that she was still willing to go with him.
"It doesn't matter, there is a chance, we will go together in the future!" Zhang Ping'an immediately said happily, as if Zhao Jinju had promised him to travel with him.
"It's good, I'm afraid my mother won't agree!" Zhao Jinju finally said what was in her heart. She herself has no opinion, but her mother disagrees. As her mother told her, don't fall in love with Zhang Ping'an, he is an only child. Zhang Ping'an has two sisters, no matter how many women there are, it is useless, rural girls are not answered, and they are called desperate. The heir must be a son, and there is only one son in the Zhang family. One is the only child. Last time, Zhao Jinju went to Zhang's house and visited it, and I thought it was still good, and it could be regarded as a good person. Zhang's father has craftsmanship, his family has a house, and it is good to have a house to live in. There are people who have food and shelter, and they are counted as first-class families.
"It's a pity that I can't get married!" Of course, this is what Zhao Jinju said in his heart. Unspeakable words from the heart.
Zhang Ping'an heard Zhao Jinju say that his mother disagreed, and he was obedient and listened to the sound, and the gongs and drums were heard. He didn't understand, so he asked, "Why do you say your mother doesn't agree?" ”
"Fool! Just because you're an only child! As soon as the words came out, Zhao Jinju knew that he was speechless, he just invited her to go in tandem, and he didn't ask her to marry him, how could he say the words "You are an only child"!
"Ah, I see!" Zhang Ping'an suddenly realized: "It turns out that you rejected me far away because you were afraid that I would get involved with you!" After a pause, he said, "No wonder your mother is cold to me, she thinks that I am an only child and cannot be a son-in-law!" ”
"What a door-to-door son-in-law, I don't have this idea!" For this reason, Zhao Jinju had no choice but to blush and say his true thoughts.
"Alas, it's unfounded. Who still pays attention to this now, will we college students still go to the countryside to become farmers? Only the peasants have this kind of thinking and practice. "The topic is open, Zhang Ping'an has to say it thoroughly!" We are college students, we have to obey the assignment of the state, and it is still unknown where we will work! Take 10,000 steps back and say, college students will be national cadres in the future, are there any national cadres who recruit people into the country? ”
"Really, why didn't I think of it?" Zhao Jinju seemed to feel a little stupid. I just said that people are fools! How can a student who has gone to college come back to be a farmer? Yes, there are in history, and there are in reality, but there are very few exceptions. There is one in Leping County, his surname is Niu, Niu worked in the city after graduating from university, abandoned the city life because of broken love, and returned to his hometown to become a gardener. Plant all kinds of flowers for people to enjoy, for units as gifts, for rich people to decorate. I also grow some sparse vegetables for my own consumption, and it is not clear whether it is considered a farmer. There is no confusion, they just don't understand.
However, Zhao Jinju still felt a little sorry for her parents. If you are assigned to work in other places, won't your parents have no one to take care of? So she said, "Obey the assignment, that's of course." But I definitely want to go back to my hometown, at least not too far from home! ”
"Yes, yes! That's what I thought, too. At that time, I will definitely ask to be assigned back to the county, preferably to my alma mater! "Zhang Ping'an graduated from Leping County Middle School. Zhao Jinju graduated from Zhangjiaqiao Town High School.
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the two young people became closer and closer, and they almost made a statement for life. It was almost noon, and Zhao Jinju invited Zhang Ping'an to her house for dinner.
"At home, I don't know if you're coming, you're welcome, you can go and have a meal!" Having said that, Zhao Jinju still made a few dishes. made Zhao Jinju's grandparents still can't figure out what's going on. Erniang is not at home, and Zhao's father doesn't care, as if Zhao Jinju is the head of the family. She said whatever she wanted, and the others were silent. This meal is an unclear meal, which is more meaningful than the previous lukewarm meal. This is because if the minds of two young people are opened, the distance between them is shortened, and the relationship is one level higher than the original, can it be said that it is of little significance?
After the meal, the two talked for a while in the tea pavilion, there was no clock watch, no concept of time. But the sun is in the west, and they must be separated before Sun Erniang comes back, this is the default opinion of the two people, and there must be some space for Zhao Jinju to communicate with her mother before she can talk about it.
So Zhang Ping'an went back with joy.
