Chapter 83: Reminiscences of the Past.
People like to make comparisons, buy something and shop around to find the best, let alone in this kind of thing.
It is true that Zheng Qiaolian's reputation is not good.
But compared with Xu Zhiqing, she has too many advantages.
Xu Zhiqing has no family to help him, and his former urban hukou has also become a rural hukou after he went to the countryside.
If there was no Zheng Qiaolian, Zhou Zhiqing might really go with her to get the certificate, and the two of them would get by.
But with the second option, he will start to make comparisons, and then get rid of Xu Zhiqing, and the reason is also ready-made.
"I'm sorry, I ...... I looked at her body...... can only be responsible. ”
Listen, it's such a high-sounding excuse.
No matter how sad his tone is or how sad he acts, excuses are excuses.
The village chief made it clear just now that he was unwilling to get back on track.
"It's not a good thing!" Song Genhua spat on it.
"The eyelids are too shallow, and he will cry in the future. Okay, okay, let's go back too, it's really boring. ”
The aunt was still eating melon seeds, she didn't say who this "he" was referring to, but according to Ruan Jiaojiao, it was Zhou Zhiqing who was referring to her.
Although both of them used each other as a springboard, he didn't notice that Zheng Qiaolian, who seemed to him to be loved by his family, had actually been abandoned.
And if you really want to talk about the heart, Zhou Zhiqing is afraid that it will not be enough for Zheng Qiaolian to play, and she will definitely be very close to nature in her future life.
Ji Huai'an accompanied Ruan Jiaojiao to watch the play, walked behind the educated youth point again, picked up the person and went home.
As for the matter of picking up the book-
It's important to go home.
Zhou Zhiqing on the other side, indeed, as Ruan Jiaojiao thought, when the two women were beating, they were all thinking about making comparisons and making the best choice.
In his opinion, although Zheng Qiaolian's parents were a little colder, they were also angry with her, after all, their biological daughter who had been hurting for so many years, it was good that the contradiction had passed.
Although the state will subsidize those who are admitted to university, the cost of travel and food, as well as the usual cost of buying books, are not enough at all.
If he marries Zheng Qiaolian, then the Zheng family will definitely pay for him to go to college, even if he doesn't get admitted this time, with Zheng Qiaolian here, he can wait for the next college entrance examination with peace of mind, and he doesn't even have to work in the field.
The people in the courtyard were almost scattered, and even Zheng Qiaolian's parents followed the villagers back without saying a word.
Xu Zhiqing wiped away his tears, never looked at Zhou Zhiqing again, and went back to the room directly.
Then, from the poorly soundproofed earthen house, there was an intermittent suppressed cry.
Zheng Qiaolian's face was swollen like a pig's head, and the sides of her cheeks were covered with bloodshot and blood marks.
With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into Zhou Zhiqing's arms and cried.
This is her second candidate, the one with the best results besides Ji Huai'an.
Finally got the ......
Zheng Qiaolian pinched Zhou Zhiqing's shirt tightly, hiding the hatred in her eyes, and complaining about the pain in her body while telling her love.
The two hugged each other without anyone else, one comforting and the other crying, only they knew how sincere they were.
……
When night came, Ji Huaian still slept in the same room with Ruan Jiaojiao.
The rain has stopped, but the ground is not yet completely dry.
Ruan Jiaojiao waited left and right before going to bed, and didn't wait for him to come back, so she went out to take a look and found that Ji Huai'an was cleaning up the hall, as if she wanted to sleep in the hall.
She didn't say anything, took Ji Huai'an's hand and left.
Ji Huaian didn't resist either, and obediently followed her back to the house.
Big tail wolf! I didn't take the quilt or pillow from the house! Also loaded!
The candle was blown out, and neither of them spoke, and it was actually only eight o'clock at this time.
Ruan Jiaojiao was not as sleepy as she was two days ago, and moved to the edge of the bed with her pillow, wanting to chat for a while before going to bed.
"Did Grandpa Ji tell you about the past? About my grandfather. ”
Without the intrusion of the rain, the delicate voice was very clear in the dark.
"Hmm. He said a lot. ”
"Tell me, what kind of person is the grandfather in Grandpa Ji's mouth?"
Ruan Jiaojiao was curious.
From Secretary Gu's words, his father admired Grandpa Ruan very much, and Secretary Gu himself admired Grandpa Ruan very much.
Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to know what kind of person Grandpa Ruan was in his impression of Grandpa Ji, who was a good friend of Grandpa Ruan.
"Grandpa said that he had exhausted his luck all his life in exchange for his encounter with Grandpa Ruan."
This beginning is kind of interesting!
Ruan Jiaojiao listened intently.
"Grandpa was an orphan at that time, and he made money by taking newspapers from the newspaper office and selling them on the streets. At that time, there were many newspaper sellers like him on the streets, all orphans or children of poor families. They don't earn much every day, just enough to make ends meet. Grandpa said that what he envied most at that time were the children who sold cigarettes in front of the dance hall. ”
"Selling cigarettes?"
Ruan Jiaojiao always thought that Grandpa Ji was educated and could become a university teacher, and the family should have conditions at that time, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
"Hmm. Children selling cigarettes at the entrance of the dance hall often receive a large tip when they encounter customers who drink too much. Even without tips, they make more profit from selling a pack of cigarettes than from selling newspapers.
It's just that selling cigarettes requires a mortgage of money, and people will rest assured that they will hand over the cigarette box to you. Grandpa was working very hard to save money at that time, and every day he prayed that there were newspaper-selling customers to tip, so that he could save that money quickly. ”
Ji Huai'an's voice was low, the narrative was slow, and Ruan Jiaojiao listened attentively.
"The first time I met Grandpa Nguyen was in a café. At that time, Grandpa was robbed of customers by other newspaper sellers, and walked down the street a little depressed. When he passed by a café, there was pleasant music coming from the café, and he stood in front of the window and listened to the music, watching the nobles inside drink coffee and eat breakfast. The doorman who greeted the guests at the café found his grandfather and scolded him for trying to drive him away, but was stopped by the guests dining inside. ”
"Is it my grandfather?"
Ji Huai'an's voice was smiling, and he said slowly: "Yes, it's Grandpa Ruan." He was wearing a white suit, his hair was meticulously combed back of his head, and he was a noble young master. He stopped the doorman and told his grandfather that he wanted to buy a newspaper. The doorman brought his grandfather into the café, and after taking a newspaper, Grandpa Ji asked his housekeeper to give his grandfather a piece of ocean.
The purchasing power of a large ocean at that time was very high, and it was also the main currency. But a low-level newspaper seller like Grandpa has never received such currency, let alone owns it. He said that day was the happiest day in his life for more than ten years. Carefully carrying the treasure, he didn't even want to sell the newspaper, and hid directly in the alley. Take the ocean and blow it, then put it to your ear and listen to it, the ocean will make a slight humming sound.
Grandpa said it was the most beautiful sound in the world and the beginning of his dream. ”
