Chapter 22 But the road ahead, regardless of the West and the East
"Of course I will! Brother-in-law, what kind of weird question is this? Xiao Zihao was a little puzzled, but always kept his purpose in mind, "Don't care about this mess, this is a good opportunity, brother-in-law, you must help me, please." ”
"When to go, and for how long?" He Huanyu asked the time, if he could come back before Xiao Nai finished the software, it didn't matter, anyway, it was not a big deal.
"I'll just wait for you, and we'll go together when you get there." Xiao Zihao replied, "I should be back tomorrow at most the day after tomorrow, and I definitely won't stay for too long." ”
"Okay, where are you? I'll come over here. He Huanyu thought about it and agreed, hung up the phone after getting the address that Xiao Zihao replied, and then turned his head to the driver's uncle and said, "Uncle, please go to the School of Economics and Management of the Department of Arts and Sciences of Jiang University, and I will pick up a few people." ”
Saying that, He Huanyu lowered his head and dialed his father's phone again, about the previous question, he felt that his father should be able to give him a good answer.
The long waiting tone of "Toot Toot Toot Toot Beet" turned into a busy tone of "Toot Toot Toot T
No one answered the phone.
He Huanyu was a little confused.
It's not because his father doesn't answer the phone, but He Huanyu suddenly feels that he doesn't have the courage to wait another ten years.
No, not ten years.
According to the original timeline, it would only take another seven years, and after seven years, I would be able to see her again.
Just, is it worth it?
"Buzz-" He Huanyu's phone rang, it was a text message.
"What's the matter, son? Dad is in the factory, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and he has to catch up with the goods, and Dad has to keep an eye on them on the production line. The machine is too noisy, the phone can't be heard, and there is a text message saying something. ”
He Huanyu then remembered that his father and the mooncake factory came from home, after all, he had a job every month, and it was natural that he didn't take it seriously before.
These mooncakes produced in the factory are the kind of "high-end mooncakes" that are full of "IQ tax", which are specially used for gifts.
With the relationship between He Huanyu's grandfather He Zhengdong for many years, these moon cakes will not be sold, after all, the local people in Guangzhuan Mountain and Nanyue who need to run relationships are enough to feed this small field.
And because the transportation is not so convenient in recent years, the orders from Nanyue have actually been sent from last week.
"It's not a big deal, I just suddenly want to ask you, if you do it all over again, will you still marry your mother?" He Huanyu quickly replied to the text message.
"Absolutely." The text message replied quickly, indicating that He Qichang was not too entangled.
"Why, obviously you're going to divorce your mother." He Huanyu was puzzled.
"Silly son, divorce can only show that many problems between me and your mother during the marriage have not been dealt with well, and many choices have been made after marriage, which does not mean that the choice of marriage was wrong in the first place."
He Qichang still replied quickly, and after a while, there was another message, "Although the marriage was arranged by the old man, your mother and I were also truly in love at the beginning." Moreover, if you don't marry your mother, where did you come from? ”
"Don't overthink it, nothing can be owned forever, and no one will never leave you. Just as people will always die when they live, you can't just be born because people will eventually die, right? ”
After this last message was sent, no more news came, probably because it was too busy.
But what his father meant, He Huanyu probably understood.
A lot of things happen from the beginning to the end, and there are many influences from all sides. Even if the final outcome is unsatisfactory, there are many reasons for this outcome, and it does not mean that it was wrong from the beginning.
You can't give up eating because of choking, because you give up the entire "battle night" by kneeling in the ranks.
He Huanyu finally understood, in fact, he had always thought he was very open-minded and thought he was very brave, but this was just his own opinion, and he had not even faced his own problems all along.
The habit of escaping at some point made solitude his last comfort, and he famously enjoyed solitude.
But he never thought that he just didn't have the courage to face the old people who witnessed his brilliance with his ordinary self after the halo faded.
That's why he hid in cities where no one knew him, and he was a "ruined house" for more than ten years with peace of mind.
In fact, he is just a young man, who has ambition but is unfortunate, just like "Fang Zhongyong", but everyone has drilled the tip of the horns, thus becoming a pitiful worm who suffers from gains and losses.
Because I am afraid of losing and dare not fight for it, I don't know that gaining and losing is the eternal theme of life.
It is precisely because it cannot last forever that it is cherished when you have it.
It's a pity when you lose it, but because you do your best, you will regret it, but you won't regret it.
The reason why I can't let go of it after so many years is because I didn't try my best to do it at the beginning, so I regret it?
If you had done this, wouldn't you have broken up?
If you hadn't lost your temper like that, wouldn't you have stiffened?
If......
How many times did he dream back at midnight, He Huanyu asked himself, the fundamental reason was that he regretted not doing a good job at that time.
It is a pity to ask for it, and there will be more regrets when you gain and lose.
And it is precisely because of the gains and losses that more will be lost, so that regret will fill the rest of the life.
He Huanyu suddenly remembered a movie he had seen before, and he couldn't remember the name of the movie. But there was a sentence in it that he remembered very clearly.
But the road ahead, no questions about the west and the east.
He Huanyu didn't understand much at the time, but at this time he seemed to understand a little.
Life should not be looking ahead and backward, suffering from gains and losses.
A wanton life is what young people should be.
He Huanyu looked out the window, the golden sun breaking through the thick clouds, pouring out its still blazing sun on a mid-autumn afternoon.
"What are you, have you figured it out?" Uncle Driver turned his head and found that He Huanyu's state was completely different.
"yes, figured it out." He Huanyu turned his head and said with a smile.
……
It didn't take long for the car to drive to Jiangda, picked up the three people waiting there, and drove to Su Jin's house.
Listening to the address reported by Su Jin and the driver's uncle, her home is in Yanjia Lake.
He Huanyu of Yanjiahu Wetland Park used to go sightseeing when he went to the Ruocheng Campus of Jingchu University, and it is located in the south of Ruocheng Street, Yicheng District, under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng City, which can be regarded as a very beautiful scenery in the local area.
In 2006, however, Yanjia Lake was different.
Due to the mixing of rainwater and sewage for many years, the bottom of the lake is silted, and Yanjia Lake, which has not yet been treated, can be regarded as a veritable stinky pool, which has not been complained about by the surrounding residents.
When the driver's uncle drove by, He Huanyu hurriedly rolled up the window, but he was still a step slower and did not escape the invasion of the smell.
Fortunately, Su Jin's house is still some distance away from this Yanjia Lake, otherwise he would have been really guilty of smoking like this every day.
Su Jin's house is in a tube building not far behind the Ruocheng Cement Factory Children's Primary School, about two kilometers away from Yanjia Lake.
The taxi couldn't get in, He Huanyu asked the driver for contact information, and then waved goodbye to this uncle who was interesting and maybe had a story.
When the group of four people walked to Su Jin's house, Su Jin's mother was drying clothes on the rope in the corridor outside the door, and when she saw the four people coming, she greeted Wang Shuang with a smile, obviously Wang Shuang had been here many times before.
"Mom, this is Xiao Shuang's boyfriend's cousin, and the other is his friend. Xiao Shuang's boyfriend was busy, so I called the two of them to come to the house to play. Su Jin pointed to Xiao Zihao to introduce her mother, and then rubbed her mother's arm coquettishly, "I want to eat winter melon and eggplant at night." ”
Xiao Zihao looked a little nervous at this time, like seeing the prospective son-in-law of his future mother-in-law for the first time, his limbs were stiff and cold sweat flowed.
"Call someone." He Huanyu couldn't stand it, and gently gave him an elbow and whispered a reminder.
Who would have expected that Xiao Zihao, who was so nervous at this time that he couldn't control himself, was hit by He Huanyu like this, and immediately followed Su Jin and shouted "Mom".
For a while, all five people fell silent, and the scene began to be embarrassing.
"Ahem, Xiao Xiao, right, this aunt didn't have time to prepare a red envelope today, or you might as well change your words next time?" Su Jin's mother coughed, half-jokingly relieving the embarrassment.
"Mom, what are you talking nonsense-" Su Jin's face turned red, and he didn't follow the way, and then snorted angrily and pointed at Xiao Zihao, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, "And you, what are you calling nonsense?" How can you climb relatives like this? ”
In fact, when he saw this tube building before, He Huanyu was still very curious about why such an environment could get out of a woman like Su Jin - the appearance is okay, after all, it has little impact on the environment. But Su Jin's straightforward and lively and a bit fox-like cunning is not like a person who grew up in this environment.
And after such a show, He Huanyu finally understood most of it.
After all, with such an interesting mother, it is not impossible to raise such a superb Su fox.
The rooms in the tube building are generally smaller, a household is almost more than ten or less than twenty square meters, because there are a lot of sundries piled up because the room is particularly messy.
However, Su Jin seemed very calm, she skillfully spread a blanket on the bamboo bed, and brought two small horses, and finally I didn't know where to turn out a box of mahjong, and called the four of them to play mahjong together.
This may also be the general situation in the old street buildings under the small county district in 2006 - there are no entertainment facilities nearby, if there is no beautiful scenery, then the guests at home can probably only play mahjong in addition to playing poker.
Wang Shuang seems to be a mahjong fan like Su Jin for some reason, and his eyes began to light up when he heard playing mahjong, and the spineless Xiao Zihao naturally did whatever his own goddess said.
As for He Huanyu, when there were already three votes in favor, he could only complain that Su Fox was uneasy and kindly abducted minors to "gamble", while listening to her explain the rules of mahjong.
The land of China has always had ten miles of different winds, and there are many different rules of mahjong.
Jiangcheng here often play mahjong rules called "red in the lai zi bar", in addition to can play red in the fortune or lai zi (God of wealth) as a bar card, the rest and most mahjong rules are actually very different.
Wang Shuang and Su Jin are used to playing, and He Huanyu also dabbled in mahjong a little in the years when he lived in Jiangcheng, so Xiao Zihao is actually only a pure newcomer.
