Chapter 918: Goodbye Old Classmates
Paid chapter (24 points)
Grandma's favorite dim sum, her mother's greedy Tang costumes, Dad's favorite liquor, and miscellaneous food ......, Li Xiaoyan packed a full travel bag.
Due to weather conditions, the highway was closed for two days, and his younger brother Li Xiaoning stayed in Shashi for two more days, which gave Li Xiaoyan plenty of time to prepare gifts for her family.
"Li Xiaoyan?"
Pushing the door into the hotel where her brother was staying, a tall woman with a beautiful face standing on the side of the door looked her up and down a few times, her eyes were full of surprise, "Is it really you?" ”
"Wen Jie? Why are you here? When did it come? Seeing the other party, she was a little stunned, and Li Xiaoyan's smile also bloomed greatly.
She and Wen Jie are small and best friends, and when she dropped out of high school and came out to work, Wen Jie was sadder than anyone who cried.
"Oh, we met again, it's so good that I miss you" Wen Jie's excited little face blushed and was simple, "I just came to Shashi yesterday, this hotel was opened by my brother-in-law, many employees have resigned during the Chinese New Year, and it is not easy to recruit people, so let my husband come over to help, and I will follow."
I was going to wait until I settled down, and then I found a way to find you, but I didn't expect to meet it so coincidentally, by the way, you dead thing, why didn't you reply to me quietly back then? I went to your house and asked Uncle Li and Aunt Li what happened to you, and they said they didn't know.
Later, I wrote you a few more letters, all of which were lost, and I went to your house for the first two years of the Chinese New Year, but I didn't meet them once.
Ask your parents, they said that you have been working in Shashi, and you didn't go home for the Chinese New Year in order to earn more money, but you don't know when you ask them for their specific address and phone number.
Xiaoyan, what did I do wrong to make you bother me so much? Speaking of the back, Wen Jie's eyes were red.
Hearing Wen Jie say this, Li Xiaoyan's face was a little embarrassed, when she first came out to work, she corresponded with Wen Jie every week, and later, Wen Jie's parents made a special trip to write a letter to her, saying that they didn't want her to talk too much about social things with Wen Jie, which confused Wen Jie's mind and affected the college entrance examination.
vaguely pointed out that she hoped that she would cut off contact with Wen Jie, so that Wen Jie could raise her horizons and make friends with better conditions.
When she received the letter, her sadness can be imagined, but thinking that they were also for Wen Jie's good, she obeyed their wishes and took the initiative to cut off correspondence with Wen Jie.
It's just that she can't figure it out, her correspondence with Wen Jie has always been only encouragement, and she has never advocated how good she is in society, how could they misunderstand her like that?
It wasn't until later, when she got some clues from other friends, that she realized that what they said was not the same thing as what they thought......
Seeing that Li Xiaoyan didn't squeak for a long time, Wen Jie grabbed her, "What's wrong, I haven't figured out why you did that to me all these years, and now that I have met it, I must tell me"
"I just didn't want to affect your college entrance examination, so I didn't reply to you, and then I heard that you were admitted to the university, and I had low self-esteem, so I was even more embarrassed to contact you." Li Xiaoyan could only answer insincerely, so many years have passed, what is the point of telling the truth?
Some things have been settled, the black cauldron will be carried by her, who made her Wen Jie's best friend, and no matter what, Wen Jie's parents are really good for Wen Jie, and now it is really unnecessary to let Wen Jie have conflicts with them.
"I didn't get into college at all, who did you listen to? And ......" Wen Jie glared at her and pouted, "Even if I get in, you can't do that, you're not that kind of person"
"At that time, I just came out to work, and I was very mindful of dropping out of school, so I thought about it more, and besides, there are always times when people are confused, it's all over, and we met again, so don't pursue it anymore, okay?"
"Okay." Wen Jie saw that she didn't want to say more, so she didn't force her anymore, her eyes fell on the duffel bag in her hand, and her eyes showed doubts, "Are you going to live in a hotel?" ”
"No, my brother lives here, he came to participate in the math competition with the school teacher, and he was supposed to leave the day before yesterday, but because of the fog, the highway is not open to traffic, so he stayed here for two more days.
I took the opportunity to buy more things, anyway, my dad went to school every week to bring him food, so that when I came home for the Chinese New Year, it would be much easier. ”
"Xiaoning has grown into a young man now, right? I guess I won't recognize it even if I see it......" Wen Jie said as she reached out to help Li Xiaoyan carry her bag, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see him, and I don't know if he knows my sister or not." ”
Li Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will it delay your business?" ”
"You also know my old problem, I get motion sickness when I take a long distance, my husband has already taken up his post, I have to rest for two more days, besides, nothing is as important as you now, we haven't seen each other for five years, I finally met, I can't let you run anymore."
Wen Jie grabbed Li Xiaoyan's arm as she spoke, "After sending the things to Xiaoning, let's have a good chat, I don't know what you're doing now, I just heard that you make a lot of money and subsidize a lot of money for your family." ”
"What makes a lot of money, that is, if you are lucky, the salary is not bad, so you can help the family......" Li Xiaoyan said and sighed, "If you don't say it, I understand, what you hear is definitely not good." ”
"I've never believed ......," Wen Jie raised her hand to make an oath, "Really, I've always believed in you, no matter what others say, I don't think you're that kind of person." ”
No wonder her parents would use that method, Wen Jie has never been a liar, she said this, it means that the rumors about her in her hometown are really ugly.
Kind parents who have grown up in the countryside all their lives, what kind of suffering should they have suffered over the years? It is not easy for them to hold on until now before they think about forcing her to marry.
Or, if she wants to really make her parents live without pressure, she must hurry up and find a boyfriend, otherwise, rumors can ruin her parents
"Xiaoyan ......" Observing Li Xiaoyan's face, Wen Jie was a little apprehensive, "Don't take it to heart, people who say bad things are jealous."
If you think about it, the people in the village who are admitted to college are not as much as you earn, so they will naturally feel uncomfortable, if they are really angry, but they are in their way, don't you say? ”
"Alright, you don't have to comfort me." Li Xiaoyan smiled bitterly and breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I'm fine, thank you." ”
"Thank me for what?" Wen Jie's face was inexplicable, "Just thank me for comforting you, Xiaoyan, you don't have to be so foreign between you and me, right?" ”
"No......" Li Xiaoyan quickly explained, "I thank you for being willing to tell me the truth, so that I can know what to do in the future." ”
"Really?"
"Really"
While talking, the two of them went up to the second floor, Li Xiaoyan glanced left and right, and turned right, "Xiaoning lives in 202." As he spoke, he knocked on the door.
A young man with glasses opened the door, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Li Xiaoyan smiled lightly, "I'm Li Xiaoning's sister, does he live here?" ”。
"Sister" Li Xiaoning quickly appeared at the door, "I'm here." As he spoke, he looked at the man with glasses, "Teacher Wang, this is my eldest sister Li Xiaoyan." ”
"Hello, come in and sit down." The man smiled shyly and stepped out of the way.
"Wang Qiaoyu, is that you?" Wen Jie said suddenly.
"I'm Wang Qiaoyu, may I ask who you are ......" The man pushed his glasses up and looked at Wen Jie seriously, with a puzzled expression.
"I'm Wen Jie, and when I was in the same class, we were classmates."
Wen Jie's voice fell, and the man with glasses looked at the three students sitting in the room unnaturally, and his face quickly turned red to the base of his neck.
Wen Jie's temper really hasn't changed at all, Li Xiaoyan stroked her forehead speechlessly, and changed the topic, "Teacher Wang, thank you for taking care of my brother, I'll send some things for him to take back, okay?" ”
Wang Qiaoyu nodded again and again, "No problem, no problem." ”
"Xiaoning, do you still know me?". Wen Jie's gaze turned to Li Xiaoning, "I used to go to your house often, do you have any impression?" ”。
Li Xiaoning smiled shyly, "Sister Wenjie." ”
"You still know my sister?" Wen Jie pinched Li Xiaoning's cheeks in surprise, "Don't be foolish, my sister liked you back then, and said, whatever you want, my sister will give it to you." ”
"No, I don't lack anything." Li Xiaoning thought for a while and looked at Wang Qiaoyu, "Teacher, I want to say a few words to my sister, can I go out for a while?" ”。
"Okay, let's go." Wang Qiaoyu glanced at the time, "Just come back before ten o'clock in the evening." As he spoke, he looked at the other two girls in the room, "If you also want to go out for a walk, I'll accompany you, do you want to go?" ”
"Thank you, teacher" The two girls thanked each other, meaning naturally that they wanted to go out for a walk, Wang Qiaoyu's face showed a slight embarrassment, "But I'm not very familiar with this place, so we can only go around here." ”
"Or ...... Let's do it together. Li Xiaoyan hurriedly helped him out of the siege, she originally just wanted to stay with her brother for a while, and she didn't plan to go out, but since the other party misunderstood her brother's meaning, it didn't hurt for everyone to go out and walk around.
"Is it convenient?". Wang Qiaoyu touched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Lao Wang, you are still the same as in school, you are more shy than girls...... Wen Jie smiled and walked out, "I want to go and ask my husband for a leave of absence first, or he will think I lost it." ”
"Hehe......" Seeing Wang Qiaoyu standing there, his face was at a loss, Li Xiaoyan smiled apologetically, "Wen Jie has such a temper, but her heart and eyes are very good." ”
"I know." Wang Qiaoyu looked at the two girls, "Do you want to go around?" If you want to go, let's trouble Li Xiaoning's sister to be a guide, if you don't go, let's just wander around here. ”
"Sister, won't it bother you too much?". The two girls looked at Li Xiaoyan in unison, obviously, they wanted to go out, but they were a little embarrassed.
"Don't bother, I took a leave of absence today, it's fine." Li Xiaoyan said and took the lead to walk out.
After a few people went downstairs, Wen Jie was already waiting at the door, and the group went to a nearby shopping mall for more than two hours before returning, in addition to the two girls, Wang Qiaoyu also helped the family buy some gifts.
After returning to the hotel, Wang Qiaoyu looked apologetic, "Sister Xiaoning, it's too troublesome for you." He had already realized that he had misunderstood what other people meant, and they didn't plan to go out at all, but just wanted to talk about what they had done, and as a result, they didn't buy anything when they went around......
Li Xiaoyan hurriedly said, "It's okay, our sister and brother finally met, we should thank Mr. Wang for your accommodation and let us spend another afternoon." ”
"Wang Qiaoyu, don't always be so polite, Sister Xiaoning, just call Xiaoyan directly." Wen Jie winked at Wang Qiaoyu as she spoke, "By the way, Wang Qiaoyu, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right?" ”
"Why are you asking about this?" Wang Qiaoyu's face turned red again, and he looked around unnaturally, "Sister Xiaoning, I'll take the two of them back to the room first." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Knowing that Wang Qiaoyu was giving the sister and brother time alone, Li Xiaoyan thanked him gratefully.
When Wang Qiaoyu left with the two girls, Wen Jie said, "There should be no one in my brother-in-law's office now, go there and talk about it." ”
"Is it convenient?". Thinking that Wen Jie had only been here for less than two days, Li Xiaoyan hesitated.
"What's so inconvenient about that? We're here to help him, and besides, it's an honor to have a beautiful woman like you borrow his office. Wen Jie said as she took the lead towards the office, and after entering the room, she looked at Li Xiaoning with a smile, "Do you want me to avoid it?" ”
Li Xiaoyan also looked at her younger brother inquiringly, before her brother said that she had something to say to her, she didn't know if she could say it in front of Wen Jie, her younger brother was already a young man, and he had his own opinions on some things, she didn't want to be a powerful sister, and she would make decisions for her younger brother in everything.
Li Xiaoning smiled shyly, "Sister Wenjie, I'm sorry." ”
"Okay, I see." Wen Jie waved her hand, turned around and walked out.
"Wen Jie, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening." Li Xiaoyan hurriedly said.
"Okay, you should invite me to dinner, not for this, because you didn't reply to my letter and cut off contact with me for so many years" Wen Jie said and snorted, "I want to kill you at night, and bring my husband and my brother-in-law with me."
After Wen Jie closed the door of the office, Li Xiaoning looked at Li Xiaoyan, "Eldest sister, second sister asked me to tell my parents when I go home, you already have a boyfriend, it's Qu Dong, I think I should ask for your opinion." ”
"Let's just say that." Li Xiaoyan's cheeks flushed inexplicably, "Qu Dong has already promised to help, so let's just say it." ”
Li Xiaoning's tone was much more relaxed: "Eldest sister begged him for help?" ”
"No, he found me yesterday and said that he was willing to help me with this, it was your second sister's dead thing, and he went to his school to find him, hey"
Li Xiaoyan sighed helplessly, she was loving and angry with her sister, her sister was really good for her, she knew, but why didn't she say hello to her in advance?
When Qu Dong found her and said that she wanted to help her, she mistakenly thought that Qu Dong was a little interesting to her, and she was overjoyed in her heart, but only to find out later that it was the result of her sister-in-law's hard work.
Fortunately, she has always been able to clear her position, and she didn't say anything out of line when she was happy, otherwise, what face would she have to continue to do in Liangyou?
"Second sister really went?" Li Xiaoning admired her face, "The second sister is so powerful, I thought she was just talking." ”
"What, she told you that she was going to find Qu Dong?"
"Yes, she told me when I went to the mall that night, and asked me to go home and tell my parents that Qu Dong is the eldest sister's boyfriend, and I am not allowed to tell the eldest sister about it."
"And what did you tell me?" Li Xiaoyan glared at her younger brother, "Hmph, you don't want to think about it, in case Qu Dong doesn't help, you tell this lie, how can I explain it to my parents?" ”
"That's why I can't help but tell my eldest sister."
"What if I don't come?"
"If the eldest sister doesn't come, I'll definitely call and ask the eldest sister, really." Li Xiaoning raised his hand and made an oath, "I didn't lie at all, eldest sister, you know, it's not that I don't know the severity." ”
"Well, I believe you." Li Xiaoyan sighed lightly, "You are all for my good, I know, forget it, it's my sister who is hypocritical, and I shouldn't blame you." ”
"If it weren't for us, the eldest sister wouldn't have been mistaken until now, right......" Li Xiaoning hesitated and looked at Li Xiaoyan, "Eldest sister, aren't you angry at all with Sister Wenjie?" ”。
Li Xiaoyan was stunned, "Angry, why should I be angry?" ”
"Eldest sister, you don't have to pretend, everyone in our place knows that back then, the Liang family took a fancy to the eldest sister, if it weren't for Sister Wenjie's parents to interfere with it, the eldest sister would have married into the Liang family."
"You know?" This time, Li Xiaoyan was really stunned.
Wen Jie's husband is Liang Linsheng, back then, the daughter-in-law of the Liang family was indeed Li Xiaoyan, which was also the real reason why Wen Jie's parents did not let Li Xiaoyan and Wen Jie have a relationship.
It's just that Li Xiaoyan always thought that she didn't know much about this, but she didn't expect that the spread would be so wide, and even her younger brother knew about it.
So, does Wen Jie really not know? At this moment, she was a little suspicious.
"Of course," Li Xiaoning nodded affirmatively, "My parents and my second sister and I all know about this, but they are afraid that you will be sad, so they never mention it in front of you."
Moreover, almost everyone in our village knows about this, and you know that the rumors are not good now, and some people still talk about it.
said that the Liang family did not marry our family back then, because they felt that our family was not as good as the Wen family. ”
"Impossible," Li Xiaoyan shook her head, "They won't do that." ”
"The eldest sister has an answer in her heart, they were able to use that method to block the communication between the eldest sister and Sister Wen, and now, there is a way to continue to ruin the reputation of the eldest sister.
Moreover, I heard that the relationship between Sister Wen and her brother-in-law is not very good, I'm afraid, this is the real reason why Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen slandered the eldest sister, right? ”
"Xiaoning......" Li Xiaoyan felt for the first time that her younger brother was not a child, and she actually saw this ...... I saw it so thoroughly.
If she hadn't thought about it before, but when her brother told her that they had known that the Wen family had cut off Hu from it, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Wen family.
So, is Wen Jie's straightforwardness and ignorance true or fake? Is the pure Wenjie still there?
"Sister, you just don't know, eat with Sister Wen at night, the truth, you should be able to see a little bit." Li Xiaoning thought for a while, "Sister, I want to be with you." ”
After being silent for a while, Li Xiaoyan shook her head, "Forget it, it's been all these years, what's the point of being true or not?" They have already been married, and I don't have any feelings for Liang Linsheng, and I didn't want to get married so early, no matter whether Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen did it on purpose or not, I won't hate them. ”
"I didn't let the eldest sister hate them, I just hope that the eldest sister will face this matter and stop the rumors, otherwise, the eldest sister's future happiness will definitely be affected.
Let's take this incident as an example, fortunately, I heard the conversation between my parents, so I thought about countermeasures in advance, otherwise?
Does the eldest sister really obey the arrangement of her parents, find someone to marry on a blind date, and live a lifetime at home facing the loess with her back to the sky?
If that's the case, will the eldest sister be willing? Will it be happy? ”。 After a pause, Li Xiaoning continued, "Eldest sister, you are kind, but kindness has to be divided into whomever it is. ”
"Xiaoning......" Li Xiaoyan looked at her younger brother, a strangeness appeared in her eyes, when did the little fart child mature to this point?
"Sister, don't look at me like this, the children of the poor are in charge early, and you have always treated me as a child." Li Xiaoning's eyes revealed perseverance that did not belong to his age, "I must let myself mature earlier, all these years, the eldest sister has been sheltering us from the wind and rain, in the future, let me shelter the eldest sister." ”
"Xiaoning......" A big smile bloomed on the corner of Li Xiaoyan's lips, "I'm waiting, my sister is proud to have such a younger brother, and my sister also promised you that she would never make do with marriage, no matter what the result of this time was, my sister would not make do with it."
"Okay" Li Xiaoning stepped forward and hugged his eldest sister, "Sister, you will find a brother-in-law who is good to you, I know, Qu Dong, it's not that we can climb high."
However, my sister is so good, there will definitely be good men who are willing to protect my sister, by the way, how does my sister think of our teacher Wang? ”
"Stinky boy, just said that you were mature, and you really thought of yourself as mature?" Li Xiaoyan was so angry that she pushed him away, "Talk nonsense again, see how I clean you up"
"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't say it, I'm not worried about my sister, and besides, Mr. Wang is really good.
He is very sought-after in our school, but he is very persistent, and he doesn't care about girls he doesn't like.
So, sister, if you marry such a man, you will definitely be happy, sister, I advise you to think about it, anyway, I have known Mr. Wang for so long, and it is the first time I found out that he said so much to girls.
I guess he must like his sister, sister, you have to believe my vision, this kind of thing, men are accurate when they look at men. ”
"Just you, a man?" Li Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her younger brother, burst out laughing, and then straightened her face again, "But that's right, my brother is also a man, otherwise, how could there be a little girl staring at my brother without turning her eyes."
Come on, come on, tell my sister honestly, the girl you are competing with, by the way, the girl named Lin Yuanyuan, what is the relationship with you? ”
"Classmates." Li Xiaoning shrugged his shoulders, "Don't you know that things are scarce?" ”
"What do you mean?" Li Xiaoyan's face was inexplicably strange.
"It means that when there is only one boy out of three students, the boy will be particularly popular." Li Xiaoning said proudly.
"Cut" Li Xiaoyan naturally didn't believe her brother's fallacy, but seeing that her brother didn't want to say more, she didn't ask anymore.
She still has confidence in her younger brother, even if there are girls who like him, he will control himself, not to mention anything else, just from the words he was able to say, it shows that he is mature enough-
