20. Challenge yourself

Honestly, telling yourself in front of a stranger is a huge challenge in itself.

I was ready to take on the challenge, but I didn't expect that the first lesson turned out to be to challenge myself.

People can fight for interests, beliefs, and national righteousness, fight hard with real guns and knives, and charge into battle against artillery fire, but when your enemy is yourself, you are often at a loss and unable to cross this gap.

The most powerful enemy is actually yourself.

At this time, we are faced with a stranger, such a simple proposition, but we feel that there are many difficulties and we can't open our mouths.

Li Qianqian is more nervous than me, she is a girl, and she is estimated to be more stressed than me.

I stubbornly said, "I'll talk about it first." ”

Li Qianqian looked at me, nodded and said, "Okay, okay." ”

At this time, the teacher said on stage: "The narrator and the listener look at each other and look into each other's eyes. Also, the narrator stretches out his hands with his palms upwards and the listener's palms down on the narrator's hands, and the hands cannot be lowered during the narration. ”

I was ready to start talking, and when he said that, we both blushed.

I had no choice but to stretch out my hand and put my palm up, Li Qianqian was a little shy, hesitated, and put her hand up.

I could feel that Li Qianqian's palms were sweaty.

I had to look at each other, Li Qianqian slowly relaxed, after all, I said that she listened, and she was less stressed.

I said: "I have a girlfriend who has been talking for more than four years, and in the past four years, I think she is my only one, for the tuition and living expenses of both of us, I used the holidays to work everywhere, moving bricks on the construction site, hotel waiter, and even working in the black coal kiln, in the four years, except for the first year's tuition fee, we did not ask the family for a penny in the remaining three years."

She was very good to me, although I didn't need her to go to the construction site with me, but she took care of me. We rented an apartment near the school at the time, and she didn't let me into the kitchen to cook a meal, and she didn't let me do a single laundry. She kept our nest in good order. I always thought that this is what we will always be, I am responsible for raising my family, she is responsible for being beautiful like a flower, and I will talk about it all my life.

After graduating, she found a decent life in our city, but I stayed at home because my father was critically ill, not only did I not have a job, but I also had no income, and my life was in trouble for a while.

In the beginning, she was able to come to our house every few days, but the frequency became less and less, my father's illness became more and more serious, and the medical expenses weighed down on our family, and finally we got to the point of borrowing money to survive.

I don't know how long I haven't seen her, she always shirks her work and doesn't come to the door, and I really wasn't in the mood to fall in love at that time, and she didn't show up until my father died.

I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, after all, we were just in a relationship, and she wasn't obliged to do these courtesies, I just wanted to wait until I took care of my father's funeral, and quickly went out to find a job, so that the family's predicament could get out as soon as possible.

On the third day after my father's death was buried in the earth, she came to our house in a man's car and told me that she was not waiting for me, that I could not give her the life she wanted, and that I hoped that I would not disturb her life in the future.

After listening to me, I still couldn't help beating the man, I didn't embarrass her and let her leave my home, since I couldn't give her a future, I chose to let go and let her find the life she wanted.

As for everything I did for her, I didn't complain or regret it, since I loved, then I have to pay for love, even if this love has moisture later, I have no complaints. ”

I spoke very slowly, Li Qianqian listened carefully, and she seemed to be moved by my so-called bullshit love.

It was her turn to tell, and she told me a story about when she was a child, she said that she once followed a neighbor to the market, and was almost abducted by human traffickers, and the neighbor lied to her that she was singing in the west of the town, and wanted to take her to see it, and after walking for a long time and not finding a place to sing, the neighbor pointed to a van on the side of the road and said to ask there, she didn't know that there were ghosts here, and she was only five years old when she was dragged to the car by a man in the car.

Perhaps her cry was so loud that it attracted a young man on a motorcycle, who took a curious look at the van, and the man in the van pointed at him and told him to get out, which angered him, he put the motorcycle on the ground, ran over and grabbed the man by the collar, and dragged him off the car.

He dragged it, the man let go of Li Qianqian's hand, Li Qianqian took the opportunity to run out of the car, desperately ran into the street, crying while running, and later attracted several kind passers-by and sent her to the police station.

The young man on the motorcycle had a fight with the man, and then the man saw that the matter was exposed, jumped into the car and ran away.

The neighbor who brought her out was sentenced on suspicion of child abduction and trafficking, and her parents were timid, fearing retaliation from the neighbors, so the family ran to the coast of Zhejiang in one go, and her parents worked in a shoe factory and never returned to their hometown.

Our stories are finished, neither of them let go of their hands, obviously, Li Qianqian has not yet come out of the past, compared to me, her story is more tragic and thrilling.

My little, a little sick-free she

yi

taste.

"It's time!"

The instructor continued, "Everyone is in their seats, and now we will start to give our listening testimonials. The first group of partners stands and the second group prepares. ”

The first group was Song Yan and a boy named Lu Haichen, Song Yan: "I still feel that your so-called course is ridiculous, and I refuse to speak." With that, he sat down in a chair.

Lu Haichen: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear the other party's story, so I don't have anything to share. ”

Mentor: "Give Song Yan and Lu Haichen one negative score each, and the next group." ”

The next to stand up were Lian Xin and Tian Xiaorui.

Lian Xin told Tian Xiaorui a story of her past when she was a student, and the story of her illness and being taken care of by her classmates, although it was plain, but there was a strong warmth.

Tian Xiaorui's story is much simpler, some trivial things.

The original intention of the instructor to give us such a question is to help us overcome the hurdle of opening up in front of strangers, but it doesn't matter what you say, the important thing is that you have the courage to speak.

I kind of understood the purpose of this training, but it was not very clear, hazy, and there was a little light flashing overhead.

After everyone shared, the instructor let us move freely for 10 minutes.

A few boys went to the bathroom to smoke, and I chatted with Lian Xintian Xiaorui in the corridor.

Li Qianqian came back from the bathroom and walked up to us and said hello to me and Lian Xintian Xiaorui.

With the communication just now, there is no strangeness between us.

Lian Xin: "I didn't expect you to have such a painful experience when you were so young, if it were me, I guess I would have been scared stupid a long time ago, how would I know how to run." ”

Li Qianqian: "Actually, I can't remember what happened at that time, it was my mother who told me later, and the whole thing was strung together, we haven't returned to my hometown for fifteen years, and I don't have any impression of my hometown." ”

Tian Xiaorui: "That neighbor of yours should be shot, such a person is a scourge to live." ”

Li Qianqian: "I heard that she was sentenced to ten years, it is estimated that she came out early, my parents have always had a shadow in their hearts, they have been worried about my safety, I am alone in Shanghai, I have to report their safety every day, they don't have mobile phones, they stay in the store after work and wait for me to call, for fear that I will have something wrong." ”

At this time, Sun Xia informed us at the door that the time was up and we were ready to go to class.
