back to 1997

Xue Dingyuan repeated the question just now, but Luo Xinning was still in a daze.

Xue Dingyuan felt that Luo Xinning's three views must have been greatly impacted last night, and he still hasn't recovered from it, so he didn't bother her anymore, but let her continue to think there.

What Xue Dingyuan thought was right, but not right.

Wu Yuansong's image in Luo Xinning's heart was overturned last night. This was indeed a shock to Luo Xinning, but it was not too serious.

Because some problems have already been there, but she has been deceiving herself.

The reason why she is so out of her mind now is because she thinks that she should think about her relationship.

She used to think that although Wu Yuansong was poor, he was kind, responsible, self-respecting, affectionate, righteous, and responsible. Although he was a little proud, he was not a proud college student, so these were all normal.

But the kind person she thought was so hard to describe what she said last night...

Immediately after she went back yesterday, she called Wu Yuansong, wanting to explain what happened before.

But before she opened her mouth, Wu Yuansong began to blame her, saying that she helped outsiders to bully her relatives, and Wang Guohua was beaten, but she did nothing, and she didn't call the police to have Xue Dingyuan arrested, so now she has to go to Wang Guohua immediately I apologize to everyone, and I have to show sincerity and buy more fruit care products or something.

Luo Xinning felt that the anger in her heart came up immediately, but she felt that Wang Guohua must have not told the truth, which caused Wu Yuansong to misunderstand, so she wanted to restore the truth of the matter.

But Wu Yuansong didn't want to hear it at all. He expressed in a helpless tone that he was really tired. He was working in an important department of the company, so he was under a lot of pressure. He didn't want to know what happened. He just needed to She did not help relatives, let Wang Guohua go back to work, and fired Xue Dingyuan.

This was ridiculous, so she solemnly told Wu Yuansong that she needed to talk to him.

Probably, she was always gentle and considerate, and it was rare for her to be so serious. Although Wu Yuansong's voice was impatient, she still let her continue.

But Luo Xinning talked about Wang Guohua's actions, but only got Wu Yuansong's words: "So what? Xinning, don't be too stingy, think about him calling you cousin, even if he recognizes you, those The words are just angry words, what do you care about with him?"

She immediately felt furious, but she sighed over there, "Xinning, I told you that his family is kind to me, so can't you bear it for me?"

Luo Xinning felt a little sad, she had endured it once, when Wu Yuansong said that he was already tired from work, why bother him with such a trivial matter.

She knew that the work pressure must be great, and Wang Guohua just wanted money, so she just gave it.

But what about this time?

Even Xue Dingyuan couldn't listen to Wang Guohua's words, but as her boyfriend, he didn't comfort her, instead he blamed her for being petty and not taking his relatives seriously.

Her silence was finally exchanged for a soft word from the other side, "Xinning, it's for me, okay?"

Luo Xinning gritted her teeth. In fact, if she is with him, she should treat his relatives well and respect his parents. This is right, and she has always agreed with this point.

It's only now that she realizes that being nice doesn't mean that if she is nice to others, they will be nice to her, but that she is required to lower her limit blindly, that is to say, even if those people go too far, she must be patient.

Probably because she didn't promise right away, the tone over there was bad again, "Xinning, why are you so ignorant? I know our family is poor, and so are relatives' families. Having said that, you can't look down on them when you're with me, and you can't play the eldest lady's temper, if you can't accept it, I won't force you."

Is this her young lady's temper?

But the other side was still talking, "How can you not be wronged when you marry, Xinning, did you marry me because you wanted me to confess you? I really didn't expect you to have such an idea , you are a woman in the new era, you have received a good education, your thinking is very dangerous, you know? What I need is a towering tree that can block the wind and snow with me, I don’t want a tree Dodder clinging to me, I am with you because we have common ideals and aspirations, do you understand?"

Hearing what Wu Yuansong said, Luo Xinning felt in a mess. She can be wronged, but it must be worth it, right?

In fact, she didn't want much, and she didn't even ask him to comfort herself. She just wanted a fair result, couldn't she?

And when did she ask him to confess herself, she has been working hard and supporting him all the time, but... But she has never felt the support from the other party.

In fact, she is also very tired and under a lot of pressure...

But she didn't want to haggle with Wu Yuansong on this kind of matter, so she changed the subject, "Wang Guohua can come back, but Xue Dingyuan cannot be fired."

Wu Yuansong was very dissatisfied with this result, and he wanted to persuade Luo Xinning, but Luo Xinning quickly explained Xue Dingyuan's situation, and then waited for Wu Yuansong's reply.

She hoped that he would say that he was right and that he should help Xue Dingyuan more, as if as long as he said something, she would be able to catch something and continue to deceive herself.

But the other side sighed again, "Xin Ning, even if this is the case, what does it matter to you?"

What's the matter with her?

The strange thing is that Luo Xinning didn't feel angry after hearing this sentence, nor was she disappointed as she imagined. She just said calmly, "If it doesn't happen, it's none of my business. If it happens, I want to help you." a handful."

Wu Yuansong laughed directly, "There are a lot of poor people in this world, can you help them?"

Hearing Wu Yuansong say this, Luo Xinning suddenly felt tired. Is this the kindness he has always thought of?

She let out a breath, "Anyway, I won't dismiss Xue Dingyuan, Wang Guohuaai will come or not, hang up."

This is the first time she has hung up the phone on her own initiative since she graduated. In the past, she always thought that both of them were busy, and if they couldn't meet each other, they would talk on the phone for a while. Even if she felt that the other party was a little impatient, she felt that it must be If the other party is tired, if you say more interesting things, you can make the other party happier.

But now, she really can't find anything to talk about...

Luo Xinning thought of this, smiled wryly, and saw that Xue Dingyuan was looking at him worriedly, so he waved his hand at him, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I won't fire you."

Xue Dingyuan nodded happily immediately, and then took out 30 yuan from his pocket, "Sister Ning, I know you are a good person, but I must not take this money. Although I am poor, I know that I should take it by myself." You can take what you don’t deserve, and you can’t take what you shouldn’t.”

Speaking of this, Xue Dingyuan smiled and said jokingly, "Sister Ning, I know you are kind, but if you spoil me, it will not be a good thing."

Hearing what Xue Dingyuan said, Luo Xinning was about to fall into thought again, but at this time someone pushed the door and came in, Xue Dingyuan hurried over to greet him, but there were a lot of guests, so he dragged Luo Xinning along.

Luo Xinning didn't want to think too much about spoiling things, so she cooperated with Xue Dingyuan.

It can be said that she doesn't want to, but how can she bear it? When eating, she would think that Wu Yuansong kept saying that she was fat, so she kept trying to lose weight. Unfortunately, she was born with such a physique, which is useless.

When collecting the money, I thought that I planned to pretend to make money at the end of the month, and bought the mobile phone that Wu Yuansong had been telling her about as a gift for him.

It wasn't until the afternoon when Christmas songs were suddenly played outside that she realized that today is Christmas...

She and Wu Yuansong also celebrated this festival at school, although...the two of them talked for so long last night, and they didn't even say a word of happy festival to each other.

She had even forgotten that it was Christmas.

No wonder it is said that school is an ivory tower. When you leave school and face the real world, you will be severely punished. It turns out that not only work, life, but also love.

After thinking about it, she still felt a little sad, so she told Xue Dingyuan to go for a walk.

But as soon as she walked out of Leqing, she bumped into Chu Hongsheng, so she walked over, "Waiting for Xue Dingyuan?"

Chu Hongsheng nodded.

"Then why is it outside? It's so cold. Go in and wait for him."

Chu Hongsheng quickly said no, but was dragged back by Luo Xinning.

Xue Dingyuan was also taken aback when he saw Chu Hongsheng, "Why are you here so early today?"

There was still an hour before get off work, if Luo Xinning hadn't gone out and met Chu Hongsheng, wouldn't he have been freezing outside.

Or had he actually been here this early all along?

Or earlier than that?

Thinking of this, he hurried over, raised his hand and touched Chu Hongsheng's cheek with his fingertips, it was really cold, so he was a little angry, "Don't come to pick me up from now on."

Chu Hongsheng didn't speak, but Xue Dingyuan felt that his tone was a bit too much, "I'm just afraid that you will freeze to death."

Chu Hongsheng shook his head, "I came early today."

He dawdled for a while, and took out two pieces of paper from his pocket.

Xue Dingyuan leaned over curiously, and found that it was two movie tickets, he subconsciously asked, "Who do you want to go to the movies with?"

Could it be that there are girls in the loading and unloading team?

That's impossible, and it's not King Kong Barbie.

But those uncles may have daughters in their families. Although Chu Hongsheng looks scary, he is kind-hearted and down-to-earth, so he might be attracted to him.

He looked at Chu Hongsheng with a little sour eyes, and then heard Chu Hongsheng say, "With you."

Xue Dingyuan immediately felt relieved, and was a little flattered, but when Chu Hongsheng handed him the ticket, he felt a little distressed, but he couldn't help laughing and said, "Ten yuan a piece is too wasteful."

It costs 20 yuan for two people, which is his daily salary.

"Is it a holiday?" Chu Hongsheng replied.

Xue Dingyuan nodded, and showed his white teeth in a tangled smile, "Then let's go together after I get off work."

Luo Xinning looked at Xue Dingyuan's distressed but happy expression, and felt that there was a part of her body that didn't exist, and she was in pain, she waved to Xue Dingyuan, "Hurry up, go have a meal first. "

Anyway, it's so late, and it's Christmas again, so no one will come.

Xue Dingyuan knew it too, so he said bluntly, "Then Sister Ning, I'll go first."

"Hey, wait a minute," Luo Xinning stopped Xue Dingyuan, and gave him another 50 yuan, "I invite you two to watch the movie."

"Need not!"

These two words were said by Xue Dingyuan and Chu Hongsheng together.

In fact, Luo Xinning felt that it was normal for them to refuse, but she still smiled and said to Xue Dingyuan, "It's a subsidy for you during the holidays."

Xue Dingyuan suddenly became serious, "Sister Ning, although we are poor, we really have backbone."

Speaking of the last few words, he became serious again.

Chu Hongsheng also said, "I want to invite him to watch the movie."

The attitudes of the two were very firm, and they ran out together before Luo Xinning could finish speaking.

And Luo Xinning looked at the backs of the two of them, and suddenly thought of Wu Yuansong...

Although the relationship between these two people is different from the relationship between himself and Wu Yuansong, but... But Luo Xinning couldn't help but want to compare.

She remembered when Wu Yuansong first pursued her.

At that time, he said that although he was poor, he would definitely treat her well...

But she thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of anything that could prove that Wu Yuansong was kind to her.

I don't know if she is too fussy or something else, but all she can think of at the moment are some bad things.

She didn't spend any holidays with Wu Yuansong, never received a gift from him, even on her birthday...

Once when she celebrated her birthday, she joked in the self-study classroom with only two people, and asked him what gift he wanted to give him. He shook his face at that time, "Why are you so vain, do you find a boyfriend just to ask for a gift? Besides, you Knowing my situation, why can't you be considerate of me, and still say such things to embarrass me?"

Then he slammed the door and left.

She was stunned for a long time. Of course, she didn't look for a boyfriend to ask for a gift. She has never been short of anything since she was a child.

And after thinking about how poor Wu Yuansong was, she felt that she had hurt the other party's self-esteem, but she was the one who finally admitted her mistake...

Comparing what happened just now, Luo Xinning felt something was wrong the more she thought about it.

Xue Dingyuan and Chu Hongsheng are also poor, so poor that they can't go to school, but they don't want to give them things if they want to... But when she buys things for Wu Yuansong, her brows are slightly frowned, as long as he Wu Yuansong mentions something, she I would write it down and give it to him, but he never refused it.

Is self-esteem like this?

Luo Xinning sighed, she began to feel even worse, this time it was not because of Wu Yuansong's fault, but because she felt like she was blind and stupid...

Xue Dingyuan over there didn't know that Chu Hongsheng came to find him, and he could achieve such an effect. He was walking side by side on the street with Chu Hongsheng.

At this moment, the street lamps and the ice lamps made of various shapes on the street have been turned on, and the gentle halo sprinkled on them. Although it can't bring warmth, it softens the brows and eyes of the two of them a lot.

Before going far, snowflakes suddenly fluttered in the sky. Under the background of the lights, each snowflake showed a perfect six petals, and fell into the embrace of the earth with a graceful posture.

The white mist exhaled from the two mouths was entangled with the snowflakes, and it was impossible to tell whose breath it was.

And at this moment, Xue Dingyuan suddenly felt that this city is so beautiful - even though his location may be the most undeveloped corner of the city.

He has worked hard here for nearly 20 years in his last life, but he has never had any sense of belonging. The urgent life has prevented him from appreciating everything around him.

But it's different now... Although he is still working hard for his life, there is someone by his side, which is so much better than being alone.

He turned his head and glanced at Chu Hongsheng, wanting to say something to relieve the throbbing in his chest, but after thinking for a long time, he could only say, "What do you want to eat?"

After he finished speaking, he felt as if he hadn't added a skill...

Hearing what he said, Chu Hongsheng also looked at him. After the two people's eyes met for a moment, they turned away at the same time.

"When I was buying a movie ticket, I saw a small restaurant near the movie theater. Let's go and eat something."

Xue Dingyuan then followed Chu Hongsheng and stomped forward.

The slightly dilapidated slums were left behind by them, and the scenery in front became more and more beautiful, which made Xue Dingyuan feel that this seemed to foretell their future life, and made him feel even better.

The two of them really had a casual meal at the small restaurant next to the cinema, seeing that the movie time was about to start, so they walked towards the cinema.

After entering, Xue Dingyuan looked at the dark hall and felt a little dumbfounded.

In fact, in his previous life, he watched movies a limited number of times, really very limited, but... he had never seen such a bleak scene!

He originally wanted to spend a fortune buying popcorn for two yuan, but let alone there were no places to buy popcorn and snacks, and there were not many people there.

Fortunately, he quickly remembered that from the early 90s to the end of the 90s, it was indeed the most sluggish period for Chinese movies.

Because VCDs for home use have become popular these days, many video stores have sprung up on the street. The CDs in them cost [-] cents a day, and you can watch [-] CDs with a monthly subscription of [-] yuan.

Even if you don’t have a VCD at home, you can choose to go to a small video hall on the street. You can watch it with a group of people in the hall for [-] cents, or you can watch it in a single room for [-] or [-] yuan. I'm staying...

But Xue Dingyuan immediately began to persuade himself that those are all pirated copies, it’s okay for people nowadays not to have that awareness, as a reborn person, if he deliberately did that, it would be a bit dishonest.

Thinking of this, he and Chu Hongsheng went to check the tickets, and after entering the screening hall, Xue Dingyuan was speechless for a while.

Because including him and Chu Hongsheng, it didn't even fill one-third of the seats.

And the movie theater is so deserted, we can't just blame the audio-visual store and the video hall for grabbing business, the conditions here are really bad.

It doesn’t matter if the chair is flipped, or it’s broken. Either the armrest is missing, or a board is missing, and the heating is obviously not enough, and it feels cold.

Think about the ticket price of ten yuan...

But the ticket was not refunded, so he and Chu Hongsheng walked to their seats almost in the dark. Fortunately, the chair was not particularly damaged, but the armrest in the middle of the seat was missing.

Not long after the two of them sat down, the movie started. Xue Dingyuan was delighted when he saw the title, hey, "Party A and Party B"!

He has watched such a classic movie many times, but every time he watched it, he couldn't help being overjoyed. Even if he remembered the plots, even the classic lines came out of his mouth...

His eyes were fixed on the screen, but Chu Hongsheng turned his body a little, and he seemed to be leaning on the armrest on one side, but he was actually staring closely at the person beside him by the light of the screen.

Probably because of the plot, this person was laughing all the time, almost leaning back and forth, which made him feel that today's money was well spent... So his eyes became softer and softer.

The flickering light is like his mood, looking at this person, he will be in a good mood, but it will also be obscure...

But those obscurities will be fleeting, because he feels that these are enough.

Xue Dingyuan was seeing Ge You wearing the landlord's clothes, wearing a melon skin hat and white earbags, and drawing a long voice, "The landlord's family has no food left~"

He couldn't help laughing, and wanted to communicate with the people around him, but when he turned his head, he saw Chu Hongsheng staring at the big screen with a serious expression, not like watching a comedy, but as if he was taking an ideological and political class .

Xue Dingyuan: ...

Could it be that Chu Hongsheng's sense of humor is different from ordinary people?

So he thought about poking Chu Hongsheng with his finger, and asked him if it wasn't funny, but he accidentally poked his finger on Chu Hongsheng's hand, and was caught by the other party the next moment.

It may be because the movie theater is really cold, or it may be because the heart is not good enough to supply blood. At this moment, Xue Dingyuan's fingers are cold, but Chu Hongsheng's palms are hot. Such a cold and hot touch together, and then they did not separate.

When the movie was about to end, Xue Dingyuan's hands were also infected with the heat in Chu Hongsheng's hands, which also made him feel that his heart was also infected with the heat...

The movie ends with Ge You's classic line at the end: [-] has passed, and I miss it very much.

The two people who stood up and walked outside did not let go of each other's hands for the time being, but Xue Dingyuan felt that the [-] years that were about to pass were indeed worth remembering.

The author has something to say: Party A and Party B were released on December 1997, 12, what a coincidence~

Well, the boss is about to break up~ Xue Dingyuan and Chu Hongsheng have to experience a little bit of twists and turns, and then start to make a fortune!

Of course it was Chu Hongsheng who made his fortune in the beginning, but they are a family.

And I heard that today's postgraduate entrance examination... I don't know if the girl who read the article took the exam,

But probably there will always be an end of the term, I wish you all the best in your exam~
