252 From the modern era back to the Republic of China 7
Human memory has a beautifying effect and self-protection mechanism, and it is better at forgetting a person's bad than remembering a person's good.
One doesn't expect any affection from a stranger, so when a stranger shows kindness, the unexpected surprise is often pleasant.
But it's hard not to have expectations for your loved ones.
- Even if you know that your loved ones have been bad for you.
Perhaps it is precisely because the relatives are very bad to themselves, and they are not so bad that they can completely cut off all thoughts, so they will desire it more because they can't get it.
When this expectation is not met, or even used by close relatives, you will feel hurt, and even feel a little betrayed by your loved ones from the bottom of your heart.
If the person who hurt you is a friend or lover, after hurting a few times, you may take the initiative to stay away.
But the separation from family affection and the original family is a proposition that can last a lifetime.
Yao Rong said such a thing to Ye Heqi because she knew that when Ye Heqi grew up another year or two, and when Ye Heqi reached the marriageable age, the conflict between her and Mrs. Ye would inevitably intensify.
Compared to the conflict that was destined to happen, this is a small matter now.
"Don't hate, don't glorify ......"
Ye Heqi repeated Yao Rong's words, broke free from her arms, and looked up at her.
"Mother, have you ever hated Mrs. Ye and Ye Fuguang?"
Yao Rong walked over and lit a kerosene lamp.
The lights dispelled the darkness in the room, and Yao Rong extinguished the matches he used to light them. She didn't answer this question directly, but asked Ye Heqi a question first: "Do you think I should hate them?" ”
Ye Heqi thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know." But if I were you, I would at least blame them. ”
Yao Rong chuckled, flipped out the things he bought today, and answered Ye Heqi's question while sorting it out: "You're right, I must have complained, but I have never had hatred." ”
Ye Heqi raised his head and listened carefully to Yao Rong's words.
"If it hadn't been for the Ye Mansion to take me in back then, I would have nowhere else to go, let alone have a stable life for the past twenty years."
"Over the years, the Ye family has not missed my food, my clothes, and will send me some monthly money every month. In this regard, the Ye family has great kindness to me. ”
In these troubled times, it is so difficult to find a stable place to live.
The Ye family provided the original body with what she needed most.
"But I have never forgotten what Old Madam Ye and Ye Fuguang have done, and the harm these things have caused me."
These words are all in the mind and mind.
His father lost his family business, his mother died of illness, and his uncle drove him away......
The original body came to Ye Mansion after hardships, and she didn't even dare to expect Ye Fu to admit this marriage, she only hoped that Ye Fu could give her some shelter in her past friendship.
So when Old Man Ye took her in and insisted that Ye Fuguang marry her, the original body was very excited.
This excitement is not because she likes Ye Fuguang, but simply because after marrying Ye Fuguang, she can stay in Ye Mansion more justifiably.
It's just that the world is impermanent, and a series of things that happened later were far beyond the expectations of the original body.
Seeing Yao Rong's appearance of falling into memory, Ye Heqi hurriedly walked to Yao Rong's side and helped her sort out those newspapers and books together: "So what my mother said to me was based on my own life experience, right?" ”
Yao Rong came back to his senses, handed the things in his hand to Ye Heqi, and asked her to take them and put them away: "I haven't read any books, and I don't know any big truths, but I have lived in Ye Mansion for so many years, and I have also found out a lot of life experience. ”
Ye Heqi said: "There is a word called Neixiu, which is about the situation of your mother." ”
Yao Rong smiled, and changed his words: "Heqi, my mother found something." ”
"What's the matter?" Ye Heqi didn't reply, standing in front of the desk to adjust the order of the books.
Yao Rong had a gentle smile on his face: "In the past few days, you have always praised me. No matter what I do or say, you can find a place to praise me. ”
Ye Heqi paused, and quickly covered up the past: "Because I am a teacher now, the teacher will of course praise the students when they see that they are doing well." ”
And she also wants to use this way to slowly build up her mother's self-confidence.
Yao Rong shook his head and asked Ye Heqi: "Then you praise me because you think I'm a good student, right?" ”
Ye Heqi looked back at Yao Rong, not knowing why Yao Rong suddenly asked this, he hesitated, but still nodded.
"But as a student, I only worked as a student for a few days. I have been a mother for 14 years. ”
Ye Heqi was stunned for a moment, but it took a long time to react to the meaning of Yao Rong's words, and hurriedly made up for it: "Mother, you have always been a good mother. ”
It's just that......
When her mother is a mother and she is a daughter, she has long been accustomed to her mother's usual care and her mother's various behaviors.
So she never thought of praising her mother for these things that she was accustomed to.
When she jumped out of the framework of the relationship between mother and daughter and went to see her mother in another capacity, she was able to appreciate the advantages of her mother.
Yao Rong put his hands behind his back and slowly approached Ye Heqi.
When he came closer, Yao Rong took out the things he had hidden behind him.
It was a delicate pink fountain pen.
Yao Rong's eyes were slightly bent: "Today you gave me a box of alabaster, as a good mother, of course, I have to prepare a gift for you." Your fountain pen has been used for several years, and the ink is not smooth, so I picked this one in the bookstore. ”
Ye Heqi didn't care about the topic just now, and said in surprise: "Mother, I didn't notice when you bought it." ”
"While you're picking up a book behind a shelf."
Ye Heqi took the pen, pulled out the cap of the pen and looked at the delicate nib: "This looks very expensive." ”
Yao Rong said: "As long as you like it." ”
This kind of thing that is often used, it is not a waste of money to buy it more expensive.
After all, a fountain pen can last for several years.
It was not early, and seeing that Ye Heqi's mood had almost recovered, he was fiddling with the pen with great interest at this time, Yao Rong didn't stay any longer, and told her to rest early, and went back to the house with the things she bought today.
After taking a shower, Yao Rong sat in front of the dresser and applied alabaster to his face, neck and hands.
After wiping, Yao Rong held the wooden comb and combed his head a hundred times in a row, and then lay down to rest.
It was evening again, even if it was unpleasant just now, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi still came to Mrs. Ye's courtyard according to the rules.
During the banquet, Ye Fuguang suddenly said: "I asked the housekeeper to buy a ticket back to Shanghai today, and I will leave tomorrow morning." ”
Rather than consulting with everyone, it is better to inform people.
Yao Rong glanced at Old Madam Ye and Madam Ye's expressions, knowing that Ye Fuguang had greeted them in advance. This sentence was obviously said to her and Ye Heqi.
Yao Rong put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said in Ye Fuguang's tone: "Heqi and I will go to the train station to send you off." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at them.
This kind of thing has happened many times in the past, and Yao Rong said for the first time that he would go to the train station to see Ye Fuguang.
Ye Fuguang refused: "You don't need to trouble you and Heqi to run this more time, it's enough to have a housekeeper to send me." ”
Yao Rong said calmly: "Is it not needed, or do you not want to?" Make it clear. ”
Ye Fuguang frowned and scolded: "Don't be unreasonable. ”
Yao Rong looked at him: "I don't know when you will come back, I am a wife, Heqi is a daughter, I want to send you off, is it unreasonable?" ”
Ye Fuguang was choked a lot, he was a cultural person, he couldn't say such spilly words, so he could only secretly say in his heart: Why is Yao Rong becoming more and more shrewd.
Ye Heqi bit the chopsticks, and her eyes lit up: her mother is so handsome, a scumbag like Ye Fuguang is scolded!
Old Madam Ye put down the dishes and chopsticks heavily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, this kind of trivial matter is also worth arguing with in front of your children?" If you want to go, go ahead, and when you are done, you will follow the housekeeper back. I run outside every day, and I don't know what it looks like. ”
That's it.
After eating, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi walked out together, and Ye Heqi asked Yao Rong in a low voice: "Mother, why do you suddenly want to send him?" ”
Yao Rong said in the same volume: "Sending him is just an excuse, I want to take the opportunity to take you out for a walk again, and we just happened to go to the train station to have a look." ”
She just took this opportunity to go to the train station to step on the spot, and also inquired about the fare from Peking to other cities, so as to prepare for the next action.
The train station in Peking is very crowded.
Yao Rong and his entourage got off the rickshaw and saw a crowd of people.
Along the way, neither Yao Rong nor Ye Fuguang said a word, and it was not until this moment that Ye Fuguang spoke: "You guys can send it here." I'll just go in with the butler. ”
Ye Heqi looked at Yao Rong and waited for Yao Rong to make an idea.
Yao Rong said: "We'll send you in." If we accidentally get crowded, we will meet at the gate of the train station. ”
Ye Fuguang: "......"
After suffering the losses of the previous few times, Ye Fuguang decided not to entangle anymore. Yao Rong wants to go in, just go in.
Yao Rong turned his head to look at Ye Heqi and winked at her: "Heqi, remember to hold your mother's hand well, you are young, you can't be separated from me." ”
Ye Heqi understood, and also blinked: "Mother, I know." ”
After entering the train station, at first, Ye Fuguang could still see Yao Rong and Ye Heqi, and he couldn't see anyone after a while.
The housekeeper was so anxious to find someone, Ye Fuguang didn't have a good temper and said, "Can they still lose it?" The train is about to leave, and when I get on the train, you go to the station gate and wait for them. ”
On the other side, Yao Rong pulled Ye Heqi and ran to the corner of the train station.
"Mother, why are we running?" Ye Heqi asked.
Yao Rong said: "I don't know why I want to run, I just think that it is difficult to get out of it, and I don't want to be stared at again." ”
"Besides, don't you want to visit the train station?" Yao Rong tiptoed, looking at him with some fear and curiosity.
Ye Heqi was slightly stunned.
Since recovering her memory, she has not thought about escaping from Ye Mansion by escaping.
But......
What would she do if the month had passed and her great-grandmother was still forcing her to do things she didn't like?
As her mother said, she had to be mentally prepared for her great-grandmother to do something worse.
If she hadn't come to the train station, forget it, since she had already come to the train station, and there was no one from the Ye Mansion around her, could she try to do something?
Ye Heqi pursed the corners of his dry lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva again, raised his head suddenly, and a brisk brilliance bloomed in his eyes: "Mother, I want to inquire about something, you come with me, let's not make a noise." ”
Yao Rong chuckled lightly in his heart, but nodded on his face, and grabbed Ye Heqi harder and harder: "Okay, when you're outside, my mother will listen to you." ”
Ye Heqi took Yao Rong to the ticket gate first, and looked at the extremely long queue for ticket purchases, Ye Heqi had a headache.
It's going to be her turn when it's going to be.
If she and her mother disappeared for too long, the housekeeper would definitely sue her great-grandmother when they returned home.
Just when Ye Heqi was struggling with a headache, a young man with a small stature and a melon skin hat walked to Yao Rong's side with his hands in his hands: "This lady, do you want to buy a ticket?" ”
Yao Rong looked at him vigilantly, and his body blocked in front of Ye Heqi: "Why are you asking this?" ”
Seeing this, the young man took a step back and signaled that he had no malicious intent: "I can help Madame buy a ticket." The price is a few cents more expensive than the one at the ticket office, but the good thing is that you don't have to spend time in line yourself. ”
Before Yao Rong could say anything, Ye Heqi's eyes lit up.
Isn't this just a scalper?
I didn't expect that there was already a profession like scalpers in the Republic of China.
"We don't buy tickets, but I'll give you five cents and ask you about something, what do you think?" Ye Heqi handed over the five cents.
The scalper immediately took it and kicked it into his sleeve: "Okay, this young lady, you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." ”
Ye Heqi asked him about the train fares from Beiping to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing and other big cities, as well as how often these trains depart, what time they depart, and how long it takes for the trains to reach these places.
The scalper is worthy of doing this business, Ye Heqi asked so carefully, he can basically answer it, only a few questions can't be remembered.
It took less than ten minutes for Ye Heqi to understand the general situation: "Okay, I don't have any problems." ”
After the scalper left, Ye Heqi turned his head to look at Yao Rong and smiled awkwardly: "...... Mother. ”
Yao Rong looked at her with a slight twist of eyebrows: "What are you asking about this?" ”
Ye Heqi said: "I just have never been far away, so I'm a little curious." ”
Some of the plans in her heart can't be told to her mother for the time being, so she can only pass perfunctory first.
Yao Rong was helpless: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." Is there anything else you have to ask, if not, let's go to the gate of the train station and wait for the butler. ”
Finally fooled over, Ye Heqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "I don't have anything else to ask." ”
[Tsk. The system looked at this scene and said with emotion, [Host, you acted so well. 】
Also, "What are you doing with this", Ye Heqi suddenly thought of inquiring about this matter, isn't it that its host deliberately created an opportunity and then deliberately guided it.
When the housekeeper came out of the train station in a hurry, he saw Ye Heqi standing at the door eating sugar gourds at a glance, and Yao Rong behind Ye Heqi.
The butler's gaze lingered on the sugar gourd for a moment.
After eating most of the sugar gourd, there was only the last one left, and apparently, Madame and Mademoiselle had been waiting for him here for some time.
The butler stepped forward: "Madame, Miss, you scared me to death." ”
Yao Rong smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it to be crowded like this." After I got separated from you with Heqi, I tried to look for you, but in the end, there were too many people, so I came out and waited for you first. ”
She didn't ask a word about Ye Fuguang's situation, and urged the housekeeper to hurry up and call a rickshaw.
The housekeeper sighed, but he didn't want to say anything more about the lord and his wife, so he called a rickshaw according to Yao Rong's meaning. :,,
