Out the window of the speeding car, the sky was dazzlingly blue, and the sun illuminated the earth brilliantly.
But Xuan Ye's mind did not lighten up. Instead, she lay on the bed in the soft sleeper carriage with a depressed mood, crying silently.
In fact, it is not for anything else, but because it is better not to see each other than to meet each other.
Yang Weifan followed her instructions and took Hong Yanwu to yesterday's party.
But she thought she was indifferent and could say goodbye to the past calmly, but she was wrong.
So in order to conceal her excitement, she snatched the cigarette case from Hong Yanwu's hand, picked up one and put it in her mouth.
As soon as I lit it and took a sip, I was choked with snot and tears.
Yang Weifan was so shocked that he snatched the cigarette and said, "How can any girl smoke?"
While coughing, she said, "What's wrong with smoking? I'm not a soldier now..."
No, not anymore. This is all to avoid him and not want to think about him anymore...
But why? Why do you still miss him so much despite making up your mind? Obviously knowing they can't.
Why does Hong Yanwu always seem to be the image of strong muscles, smile and skin shining in her mind?
Alas... the human heart cannot be compared, the human heart cannot be measured.
Just this morning, when Yang Weifan sent her to the car, he forced a thick envelope into her hands.
After the people left, she opened it and found that there were one thousand yuan and five hundred foreign exchange coupons inside.
She knew very well that this was definitely not Yang Weifan's financial resources, it must be his intention.
Only he can be so generous with money.
But...but since you are so good to me, why...
Thinking of this, her eyes began to shed tears again, staining the pillow towel.
Forget it, let him go.
Now that I have left, he has not kept me, so he doesn’t care so much.
I have to forget him no matter what. I can no longer have any illusions about him. We are just ordinary friends.
Hey, he can never imagine how sad I was for him.
Maybe we will meet again in ten or twenty years. By then, I will definitely be happier than him!
This last thought made Xuan Ye couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and her tears flowed out completely, truly and clearly again...
In the evening, the train stopped at Shanghai Station.
As soon as she got out of the car, there was a high-pitched shout, "Hey, Sister Ye Zi!" Xuan Ye was patted heavily on the shoulder.
When she took a closer look, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old with permed hair stood in front of her.
"Sisi!" Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise, "Have you permed your hair? You've changed so much that I can't even admit it. Did Uncle Qian send you to pick me up? I didn't expect..."
"Haha, you still treat me like a child? I'm a college student, why can't I come?"
"No way, I didn't expect that Xiao Sisi became more and more beautiful and more fashionable in the past."
"Haha, sister Ye Zi, you really know how to praise people."
Qian Sisi is the youngest daughter of Qian Bojun, the president of Shanghai First People's Intermediate Court. She is also a college student at Shanghai International Studies University and has the liveliest temper.
She laughed indifferently for a while, then took the bag from Xuan Ye's hand and said urgently, "Let's go, the car is just outside. My mother made delicious food, and everyone in the family is waiting. I’m eating with you. I also want to take you for a ride on the Bund. It’s too late for us to go back, and it’s time for them to blame me again..."
They walked out of the ticket gate, got into Qian Bojun's "Huhai" car, turned two corners, and then turned onto Kuanda Street.
Not long after, we arrived at the Bund, and the night scene with drifting lights really made our hearts wide open.
While passing the "Friendship Store" on Zhongshan East Road, Qian Sisi couldn't help but excitedly started to give instructions to Xuan Ye.
"Look, look! Sister Ye Zi, there are so many fashionable goods here. It's a pity, they are all very expensive. It's useless to go in. You must have banknotes and foreign exchange coupons..."
"Is Uncle Qian's level enough? There should be monthly rations?"
"Where is it? My dad is only half a grade behind, and he can't compare with Uncle Ye. Hey, it's just this hurdle, but it's a huge difference. In fact, if you want me to say, what kind of official do you want to be? It's better to go abroad. As soon as I graduate, I will go out and make a lot of money on my own. I can buy whatever I want. There are all the fashionable things outside. Sister Yezi, you are really stupid. Why should you stay in China? Go out like Sister Na. Are you willing to work in such a boring place like the court?”
Xuan Ye sighed in surprise. "Hey, why do you think so? At such a young age, this kind of thinking is a bit dangerous. In fact, there are also disadvantages in foreign countries, so don't be too wild. People who go out are just glancing at things. Those other people Well, apart from hearsay and watching "Around the World" on TV, you have to know that TV movies are all deliberately selected to put things in the eyes of the audience, such as high-rise buildings, highways, and tourism. Holy land, what kind of amusement park, this is inevitably one-sided, don’t you think?”
"Oh, you are too lenient, I didn't think so much. I knew that if I stayed in China to earn a salary, I would never be able to afford that beautiful coat in the Friendship Store. Eighty yuan in foreign exchange The coupons cost more than 100 yuan in RMB, which is as much as my mother’s monthly salary.”
Xuan Ye saw Qian Sisi pouting and knew she was unhappy.
After thinking about it, I had to say, "Sisi, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm afraid that you may have too good an impression of a foreign country and regret it if you leave. In fact, there are many poor people in foreign countries. Just like me When I arrived, I was sitting in the soft sleeper carriage. The two foreigners across from me were Germans, but they only ate dry bread. When the waiter in the carriage came to announce the opening hours of the dining car, he didn't look at me at all and just said nothing to the two foreigners. They were all in English, as if I was a second-class passenger and couldn’t afford to eat. But what happened in the end? I was the only one eating in the dining car. I think foreigners are actually reluctant to buy soft sleeper tickets. Because of our rigid rules..."
"Huh? Are you telling the truth?" Qian Sisi opened her eyes wide.
"Why am I lying to you? I have to tell you that the things in the Friendship Store are not only affordable for foreigners. Isn't it just an eighty-yuan foreign exchange coupon? I'll go with you tomorrow and buy one for you... …”
"Ah, sister Ye Zi, you are so kind to me. I believe what you say. It would be great if you were my biological sister, Qian Chengcheng would bully me and laugh at me..."
Yang looked at Qian Sisi as if he was happy, rolling around like a baby in his arms.
Ye Xuan's face was smiling, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She didn’t expect that this society would unknowingly become so money-worshipping and foreign-loving, and even the children of cadres were not exempt from this.
At the same time, she really felt that she had also become vulgar and oily.
Actually, she deliberately wanted to give Qian Sisi clothes.
Because she understood very well that her father, who was serving in the army, did not actually have such a quarrelsome relationship with the Qian family.
The two families are following completely different paths. No one from the Qian family is serving in the army, and no one is in the capital.
But she happened to leave the army and the capital. Her future work and life will depend on money and family care.
As a guest who visits the Three Treasures Palace and stays under someone else's care, she must be more considerate, more pleasing, and more knowledgeable and expressive.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to live like a fish in water just relying on the reputation of a minister's daughter.
This is called maintaining relationships.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel confused again.
Because without the "confidence" given by Yang Weifan when she left, she would not have such dignity.
Originally, it was unnecessary for her to do anything else, but now she couldn't help but feel Hong Yanwu's thoughtfulness again.
At the same time, she will miss and linger on her own innocent and childlike mind.
What a romantic and ideal little leftist she was.
How passionately she once envied and worshiped those heroes in novels and movies.
She once thought that the world was full of flowers, green grass, singing and dancing, and that life should be free of money, status, and worries.
However, she has finally escaped from the world created by her own mind.
Reality seems to be a bigger and more real novel, allowing her to experience the pain of growing up...
And amidst these messy fantasies, Qian Bojun's home arrived.
This is a quite large garden villa. At first glance, you can tell that it is an old house from the old society. In terms of design and decoration, it is obviously more than a step above the western-style buildings in the military compound in the capital.
When Xuan Ye got out of the car and saw Mrs. Qian Bojun and her daughter Qian Chengcheng who greeted her at the door, she couldn't help but sincerely praise them.
"Aunt Hu, your home is so beautiful. This is a real garden house."
Everyone likes to hear good things. The dean’s wife could see that Xuan Ye really liked it, and she said happily, "Little Ye Zi, your room is on the second floor. I know that you young people all like romance, so my aunt specially arranged it for you. We have a room with a large terrace, where you can sit, drink tea, and read books when you have time. However, our home is of a lower level, and the space is still not as large as your small single-family building in Beijing. This building is actually between us and the city. A deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee lives in a separate room, so don’t mind that the room is small..."
At this time, Qian Chengcheng next to him kept urging.
"Oh my god, don't talk here. Everyone is starving. It's better to let the nanny get the luggage. Let's go inside and eat first."
Qian Sisi, who got out of the car, heard it and immediately made fun of her sister.
"Greedy, look at the 'roasted trotters' and 'fried shrimps' that will make you greedy. Let me declare in advance that today is not your share, it is all mine and Sister Ye's..."
