Ma Li really hated the people of the Gu Bei family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Twenty years ago, Gu Chengming retired from the army and was assigned to work in the Shilin City Tobacco Factory, at that time, Gu Chengming was not erased by the difficult life as now, and his easy-going personality was like a good man.
Later, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew all over every corner of China, but the people in the tobacco factory were holding on to the iron rice bowl and did not let go, but Gu Chengming had a tiger courage, resigned and changed careers to drive a truck, not to mention making a lot of money, but the life was prosperous, which was stronger than most workers' families.
At that time, the cigarette factory could not be compared with the future generations, the department was bloated, inefficient, and there were a large number of moths who only ate and did not work, and the benefits were barely strong, and no one in the factory was better off than anyone else, but Gu Chengming's family suddenly rose to the top, when the workers were still used to watching black-and-white TVs with antennas, Gu Chengming's family had already bought Skyworth brand color TVs and large refrigerators, and many people in the factory were guilty of eye redness, not to mention Ma Li, who was opposite the door to Gu Chengming.
After all, they are neighbors, although the relationship between Tian Jianjun and Gu Chengming is not bad, but there are few bumps and bumps between Ma Li and Li Yuling, which are all trivial things, but over time, and Gu Chengming was better than her own husband at that time, the resentment in Ma Li's heart became stronger.
However, as the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, no one wants to be lucky for a lifetime! Gu Chengming, who was not self-conscious, was a little more ambitious, and he even wanted to make a fortune in real estate, so he sold the car in a daze, and lost his family and lost his fortune, and he owed a lot of bad debts.
During that time, looking at the bleak situation of Gu Chengming's whole family, Ma Li had indescribable happiness in her heart, and Gu Bei, the son of the Gu family, was not useful, his grades were not good, and his personality was cowardly, and then he looked at his daughter Tian Tian, who became more and more beautiful, and she was not picky in any aspect, so she let her daughter have less contact with Gu Bei, hmph, her daughter is old, she has to be careful, don't play with the Gu family boy, then there is no place for her face as the factory director's wife.
Hey! I didn't expect the Gu family kid to really step on the **** luck this time, and he actually scored 582 and filled in Atlantis University! At first, Ma Li didn't believe it, but she felt that her daughter was right, who was full and joking about the college entrance examination? Most of this estimate is true, Ma Li can't stand it, and what is even more unbearable is that Gu Bei actually filled in a university and a major with his daughter, could it be that this poor boy who was in a broken household really wanted to eat swan meat with a toad?
Thinking of this, Ma Li was so angry that people trembled, but the unsuccessful husband came to block her again, and secretly borrowed money from Gu Chengming, just like the fuse detonated the explosive barrel, Ma Li completely exploded.
She hates!
My husband's arm is turned out, what is the matter?
Ma Li ran downstairs to Gu Bei's house angrily.
Since Tian Jianjun was promoted to deputy factory director and his family moved out from here, Ma Li has never been to this unit building again, she looked at the dilapidated and old exterior walls and stairs, there was no nostalgia for the past, but an inexplicable happiness rose in her heart, thinking that she and Li Yuling were living here back then...... Now it's a world of difference.
Upstairs, Ma Li knocked on the painted wooden door of Gu Bei's house loudly!
Gu Bei's father Gu Chengming went to the sports car, and Gu Yuling's mother Li Yuling was alone at home, cooking, Ma Li's arrival made her a little unable to react, after all, she was a neighbor before, Li Yuling knew Ma Li's personality, jealous, mean, and stingy, but she didn't stretch out her hand to hit the smiling person, and when people came to the door, of course Li Yuling had to greet her with a smile.
"Sister Ma Li, you're here." Lucy Li greeted with hot tea.
Ma Li sat on the sofa, this sofa was an old object from seven or eight years ago, like tatters, and her buttocks hurt, but from the moment she entered the door, Ma Li wanted to change as if she was a different person, and she didn't see the slightest unhappiness on her face, but with enthusiasm that made Li Yuling completely uncomfortable.
After drinking two bowls of tea and chattering, Ma Li suddenly coughed twice, and said in a long tone: "Yuling, I heard that Gu Bei has an estimated score of 582?" ā
Li Yuling sighed in her heart, what is Ma Li doing here, she doesn't believe that Ma Li is here to say goodbye, in short, he didn't dare to take the college entrance examination results before they came out: "It's not that the results haven't come out yet, and there is nothing to do." ā
Ma Li said hypocritically: "When Gu Bei was young, I thought that this baby was promising, and sure enough...... By the way, what major did Gu Bei choose? ā
"Like Xiaotian, the Chinese department."
Li Yuling's words stabbed Ma Li, but she didn't show the slightest anger on her face, but said in a slightly concerned tone: "This major was chosen by you and Chengming?" ā
"No, Gu Bei chose it himself."
"Oh, Yuling, didn't I say you, how can you let children decide for themselves when choosing a school and major? This is related to the future of the future! Ma Li said earnestly: "Now it's not as good as us, college students don't include distribution, it's difficult to find a job, Xiao Tian chose the Chinese department, it was her uncle who was the editor-in-chief of the Qingchuan Daily, and she could directly enter the Qingchuan Daily in the future, you said that Gu Bei chose a Chinese department, and it doesn't matter, what can you do in the future?" ā
Li Yuling was relieved by Ma Li's words, and her heart was not very comfortable, but Ma Li's words were not completely unreasonable, she did have concerns in this regard.
The Chinese department itself is an unpopular major, the way out is narrow, it doesn't matter how difficult it is to find a good job, and there is no development prospect, when parents are hoping that their sons will take the civil service examination to become officials, or learn finance and business, no matter how bad it is, it is also a solid learning craft, but Gu Bei said that she likes the Chinese department, and she is only in favor of being a mother.
"Yuling, let me give you a suggestion, we are all from a tobacco factory, if you choose a new major for Gu Bei, you will choose agriculture, and the major will be the right one!" Ma Li said: "We have been neighbors for many years, Gu Bei also grew up under my nose, fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, Jianjun knows many people in the Tobacco Bureau, after Gu Bei graduated from University, first go to our factory to exercise for a few years, and then I asked Jianjun to find a way to transfer Gu Bei to the Tobacco Bureau to work!" ā
Hearing this, Li Yuling was a little moved.
In fact, she faintly realized that Ma Li's purpose for asking her to change Gu Bei's major was that she didn't want Gu Bei and Tian Tian to get too close. Li Yuling doesn't care much, people's daughters are inlaid with gold, and they can't afford to climb high, but she can't care less about the conditions thrown by Ma Li, working in the tobacco bureau means stability and high income, if there is a relationship in the cigarette system, the promotion speed is extremely fast, which is much stronger than reading Chinese!
"How's it going, Yuling." Seeing that Li Yuling was hesitating, Ma Li took her hand and urged: "While the time to fill in the volunteer is not over, you can also modify the volunteer, let's do it, don't regret it then, and I can tell you, I will tell you this kind of good thing, I will be poked in the back by the people in the compound to know that I will be poked in the back!" ā
Li Yuling was a little undecided, she was a woman who didn't discuss such a big matter with her husband and son, so she naturally couldn't make a decision, so she said: "I can't make decisions about this matter, I have to discuss it with Gu Bei, we parents can't force our children to take the road they don't like." ā
"Hey, hey! You're a fool! Ma Li was anxious: "How many people in the compound have sharpened their heads and want to drill into the Tobacco Bureau, there is no way!" It's your turn to hesitate like something, this is related to Gu Bei's future, what does he know as a child? Can't you be a mother? ā
"Mom, I'm back."
Li Yuling, who was undecided, heard the voice, and turned her head to see Gu Bei walking into the house.
