In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, Rosemary's business has been like a cloud every day, as Brother Gang expected. For those of us who stayed, everyone had a smile on their faces.
Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Su's words about Chuande.
Planted a seed in my heart.
If it had been before, I would definitely not hesitate to call Gu's house to find Chuande to ask for clarification. But after all the things that have happened these days, I have suddenly become cautious.
I'm afraid that if the person who answers the phone is an old lady, what misunderstanding will there be?
It's better to keep your duty and do what you have to do.
Earning money and studying, either way is enough for me to be busy.
It's better to wait until one day, when Chuan De and they come to perform, find a chance to ask again!
On the fourth and fifth days of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Wei took the time to come to rosemary. Because other bars were closed for the Chinese New Year, Rosemary's business was unexpectedly booming, and I hardly knew what it was in the dark for those days.
Not long after I took the stage, Mr. Wei walked in quietly at some point, sat in his old position, ordered a bottle of red wine, and slowly sipped it. When I spotted him by accident, he raised his glass of wine to me very gentlemanly.
When the performance was over, I hurried towards him.
Mr. Wei, as before, took the initiative to stand up and greet me when he saw me: "Xiaoxiao, Happy New Year!"
I smiled: "Happy New Year, thank you for the dumplings and red envelopes sent by people in the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
"Interestingly, how are you doing?"
"It's good. ”
Mr. Wei carefully observed my complexion and praised: "Xiaoxiao, it seems that the busier you are, the better your spirits." That's a good thing, how about you review?"
I was a little embarrassed to say, "The library has been closed for the last few days, but it should be open tomorrow." I'm going to hurry up and make up for the lost time. ”
02
Seeing my energetic appearance, Mr. Wei couldn't help but praise: "It's good to be young, and I am always full of positive energy for life." ”
I smiled, "Okay, I'm encouraging me." ”
"Xiaoxiao, you have a very cheerful personality, you should be very happy to be friends with you, right?"
I shook my head: "I've only been here for a short time, and I don't really know many friends. ”
"It doesn't matter, you have a good personality and will have more and more friends in the future. ”
"Thank you. ”
Mr. Wei seemed to have something on his mind that day, and he didn't stay long before leaving.
I didn't take it seriously, I guess people have something to do.
On that day, I got the commission from Xiao Su for the last flower basket that Mr. Wei gave me. After this incident, I have another layer of trust in Mr. Wei.
The next day, the public library finally opened, and my life was back on track. At this time, the colleagues around me also came back one after another, and the street, which had been cold for a few days, immediately became crowded with traffic.
Chuande and their band finally came to perform in Rosemary.
I hadn't seen him for almost two weeks, and I saw from afar that Kawade's face was lifeless. I felt that I was looking at him, but deliberately avoided my gaze. Noticing this detail, I didn't want to go to him again for a while.
After a while after their band performance, Xiaopang suddenly ran to me with a bag and said, "Xiaoxiao, this sausage is fragrant made by my grandmother, I specially brought it to you from my hometown to taste." ”
I smiled and said, "Thanks, when are you guys going to start?"
"I'll start school the day after tomorrow, and my brothers are pretty much the same. By the way, I heard you've got a powerful suitor by your side. ”
After Xiaopang finished speaking, he immediately looked around with gossip on his face: "Hey, did your suitor come to cheer you on today? ”
I nudged Chubby angrily and warned, "Don't talk nonsense, where is it." ”
03
Seeing that I denied it loudly, Xiao Fat was a little unconvinced: "Hey, I can inquire clearly that people are sending you dumplings and big flower baskets in the Chinese New Year's Eve." You lonely men and widows, what is he trying to do if he doesn't want to chase you?"
Frowning, I quickly corrected: "You don't mix with them, we are friends." ”
Xiaopang put on an expression of disbelief, and approached me to inquire: "Xiaoxiao, what is our relationship? If there is a good thing, you have to tell the fat master me as soon as possible." ”
I snorted at him, "You're thinking too much, where do I have time to care about all this nonsense." School is about to start, and I'm going to take the admissions test next week. I'll tell you the truth, I don't have enough time to sleep right now. ”
Seeing my serious look, Chubby asked seriously: "Then how about you review, are you sure?"
"It should be okay, my friend helped me get a lot of first-hand review materials from the training class, and I feel that there is a problem, but it is not a big deal. ”
When I was asked by Xiaopang, I realized that I almost forgot about Zhang Tianzhe. Counting the days, he should come back from his hometown after the New Year.
I guess I'll call him tomorrow and ask about the situation.
Chubby saw that I was thinking about something, and thought I was worried about the entrance exam. So he immediately comforted me and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, you are ready to be so fully affirmed, no problem." Fat man, I wish you a successful start here!"
When it is auspicious, it always makes people feel good.
I also generously promised, "If it is as you say, I will treat you to supper when the time comes." ”
The chubby, whose eyes were glowing, asked happily, "Really, fake?"
"Really, you see you brought me a special product from your hometown. When the time comes, I'll treat you to a good meal. ”
"That's good, then we'll call Gu Nian to be happy together. ”
04
Hearing Xiaopang take the initiative to mention Chuande, I immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Gu Nian, how is he lately?" I just saw him from a distance, and his complexion doesn't seem to be very good?"
The little chubby fox looked at me suspiciously: "You don't know yet?"
"Know what?"
Xiaopang patted his head: "It doesn't make sense, you have such a good relationship with Gu Nian." He should be the first to tell you about this. ”
My heart tightened, stared at Xiaopang and asked, "What the hell is going on, can you hurry up and say okay?"
Xiaopang looked around, leaned close to me and whispered, "Gu Nian, do you know that something happened to his family?"
I was going to say I knew, but on second thought, it might not be that simple. So I pretended to know nothing: "Gu Nian, what's going on in his family?"
Xiaopang sighed first: "As long as our brothers know about this, don't say anything about it." ”
"Okay, I promise. ”
"Didn't you say last time that Gu Nian and Yao Jing broke up?"
"yes, then?"
"Fat man, I thought at first that it was because their little couple had a bad personality and broke up, have you seen Yao Jing's character? “
"said that it was because Yao Jing and her father had an accident, and even the Gu family couldn't do it now. Gu Nian's family suffered heavy losses this time and had to move out of the house they originally lived in. His dad was locked up on the last day of the year, and he hasn't come out yet. ”
Mr. Oe was imprisoned in the police station?
This news is an absolute bombshell for me.
I was surprised and asked, "Gu Nian Dad, why did you want to be imprisoned?"
05
Chubby stammered: "His father was reported for embezzlement, and now his grandmother is walking around trying to make up for the embezzled money to see if he can get people out?"
Chubby's words suddenly made my hands and feet cold.
Last time, I heard Chuan De mention that Mr. Dajiang's leaders didn't like him, but now the Gu family's general trend has gone, and the wall is down and everyone is pushing it. It's just that I never expected Mr. Oe to be so uncompetitive, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for Kawatoku.
I stared at Chubby and asked, "So what's going on now?"
Gu Nian said that he was thinking of a way, but fortunately, the amount was not large. ”
"Is there any, how much?"
Gu Nian didn't say anything, but I don't think it should be too big. If you fish too much, there will definitely be no room for turnaround. ”
At this time, I found that Chubby looked very arrogant on the surface, but he was still very logical in thinking about the problem. Indeed, if the amount is really large, it is not as simple as making up for it.
I couldn't care about any more reserve, so I walked straight towards Chuande. Seeing that I went to find someone, Chubby also followed closely.
I found Kawatoku at the door of the bar, who was already about to leave, grabbed him without saying a word, and asked straight to the point, "Mr. Oe, what happened?"
Chuan De glanced at me, and then looked at the little fat behind him and immediately understood: "Little fatty, what did he tell you?"
I stomped my foot anxiously: "Chuande, it doesn't matter who told me. What the hell is going on now?"
Chuan De frowned and said, "Let's go out and talk." ”
"Good. ”
When I got to the secluded place outside the door, I realized that Chubby hadn't followed. But at this time, no one cared about these little things, stared at Chuan De and asked, "How are things?"
Chuan De sighed heavily: "In order to get people away, my father's leader went to check the accounts he used to handle. Whoever can stand up to the investigation in these years will definitely have problems if they check more or less. ”
06
I nervously asked, "Is it a big problem?"
"It's not big, but my dad's job definitely won't be kept. ”
I opened my mouth: "Are you sure?"
Chuan De, who had a solemn expression, nodded: "That's it, it's still the result of my grandmother pulling down her old face and begging everywhere." ”
I was worried, and I immediately understood why Chuande was in a hurry to find Xiao Su for help. If Mr. Oe had lost his job, the current Gu family would really have no income. The old people who were left behind before bought a house, and it is estimated that there is not much left.
Coupled with this, the old lady's medical expenses and the cost of eating, drinking, and lazing were all superimposed. I believe that the sensible Chuan De should feel great pressure, so he has to think about making more money to reduce the burden for his family.
Seeing that my face was full of anxiety and madness, Chuan De comforted me: "Xiaoxiao, don't be distracted by these things in my family. You're about to take an exam, so focus on what you're supposed to do. I'll tell Chubby a word less, and whoever knows will run to you and chatter. ”
With a heat in my heart, I persuaded Chuande: "Don't blame Xiaopang when you go back, he also cares about you." ”
"I know he's well-intentioned, but you're at a critical juncture. ”
"Chuande, I can handle it. ”
"Xiaoxiao, that's not what I said. It's not easy for you to be a little girl, and I don't want to bother you with my own family affairs anymore. ”
I emphasized, "Chuande, we are friends. ”
"It's because we're friends that we have to think more about each other. ”
Chuande's selflessness and broad-mindedness moved me: "Then what are your plans next?"
The person with a wry smile blindly lowered his head and looked at the floor: "To be honest, I don't know what to do? ”
"Chuande, it's not your fault, don't punish yourself for other people's faults. ”
"I know the truth, now I can only take one step at a time. School is about to start, and I really can't ask my grandmother for tuition. ”
07
"And even if my grandmother gave me tuition, I didn't want to ask her for living expenses. Now at times like these, I always have to find ways to do something for my family to feel at ease. ”
Chuande, who hugged his head in pain, was like a helpless child in front of me.
On the way back to the staff dormitory that day, Chuan De talked to me a lot about his past. This time, I plucked up the courage to ask for the first time, "Chuandeok, do you have an impression of your mother?"
originally thought that Chuan De would be angry, or throw his face.
Unexpectedly, he said with a calm expression: "Since I was a child, everyone around me said that my mother was a bad person. I used to hate her when I was a kid, but as I got older, I hated her less and less. ”
"Chuande, why is that?"
Looking up at the dark sky, Chuan De said something that shocked me: "Xiaoxiao, you should be able to see what kind of person my dad is these days." Think differently, what would you do if you were my mother and found such a man?"
Chuande's words caused a tsunami in my body.
All kinds of emotions were pulled to the limit in an instant.
That's right, the world only sees Chuande's mother abandoning her husband and children. But no one ever wondered if there was any bitterness behind her doing this?
The blood relationship between mother and son, it is estimated that only Chuande, the biological son who was conceived and born in October, will consciously think from the perspective of his mother.
I was a little curious: "Chuande, why did Mr. Oe become like this? I heard Sister Li say that he used to laugh and had a good personality. ”
08
Chuan De nodded: "Sister Li said the same thing to me. But for as long as I can remember, my dad has been like this. ”
I tentatively asked, "Is there something going on here?"
"Maybe!"
At this time, we were talking while walking, and we had already come to the downstairs of the staff dormitory. Chuan De encouraged me a few words, I comforted him a few words, and the two of them waved goodbye.
Nowadays, none of us can do anything for each other.
The only thing you can do is to take care of yourself and not let the other person worry. This sober understanding is both motivation and pressure for us.
After the separation, I didn't see Kawade for a few days.
Mr. Wei, who suddenly became empty, came to the bar every day to cheer. Every now and then he would give me a basket of flowers, and I asked curiously, "You don't seem to be busy lately?"
The whole person looked extremely relaxed, and even the tone of his voice was cheerful: "Yes, I'm finally busy." Xiaoxiao, how about I help you celebrate when your exam results come out?"
I hurriedly waved my hand: "No need, I can't help it!"
"What's wrong with this, the main thing is that everyone wants to have fun together. I now find that these days are getting more and more boring, and it's good to have something happy happening. Have you ever heard the old saying that life needs to be happy?"
I nodded: "Of course I did, but I don't know if I can get in?"
Mr. Wei, who was in a good mood, encouraged me and said, "Where there is a will, there is a way, just go to the test." Don't have a psychological burden, just do everything with a clear conscience. ”
Compared with the encouragement of others, Mr. Wei's last sentence relieved a lot of my nervousness.
09
Finally, after a long wait, it is officially the day of the admissions exam.
I left early that day and caught the first bus across the city to school. From afar, I saw a big red banner hanging at the entrance of the school to welcome the candidates.
I was already excited, but now I'm even more excited.
Zhang Tianzhe, who was standing at the gate of the school, saw me at a glance and walked over to me happily: "Xiaoxiao, how are you going?"
I nodded but didn't speak, and the nervous person didn't have the courage to say that he was prepared. For some reason, the more I walked into the school, the more nervous I became.
It's strange that I was never nervous when I took the college entrance examination back then.
In retrospect, maybe I didn't think that this battle meant my future life path when I took the college entrance examination. And this time, after being crawling and rolling in society for so long, I am really soberly aware of the turning point in my life and destiny.
into a new future.
Defeat - back to square one.
Zhang Tianzhe, who is a person who has come over, seems to see through my mood. He didn't ask anything more, just stayed by my side silently. It wasn't until the last moment that he gently said, "Take your time, I'll wait outside for you to come out." ”
I nodded mechanically and walked into the classroom with my left and right hands clasped together.
After the invigilator announces the exam rules, they will start to distribute the test papers in turn. My heart was beating faster, and my hands were shaking a little when I wrote my name, and I could barely hold the pen. In order to calm down, I didn't rush to answer the questions as soon as my classmates did.
I chose to close my eyes and let my brain simply empty and think about nothing. From experience, I do this whenever I learn to be upset, or when I feel like my brain is full.
As darkness dawned, the world fell silent as if by magic.
10
When I felt the same, I opened my eyes and found that the person had finally calmed down.
Take a pen and answer the question, as you have done a thousand times before.
The difficulty of this exam paper is not much different from the review materials I usually do, but the last two big questions are not too difficult for me. After all, I really can't spare time, and I haven't officially attended a pre-exam tutorial class.
When I took the first language exam, someone around me handed in the paper early.
I didn't stop until almost the last second, because the last two questions took me a lot of time, and I felt that I didn't have time to check them.
It wasn't until the bell rang that I realized the mistake.
The next session was math, with the experience of the first one.
Towards the end of this time, I resolutely gave up the useless struggle with the last big question. Instead, focus on checking the previous questions and try to get all the basic counties.
As it turned out later, this decision was really wise.
Because in the process of checking, I found two small errors in the calculation. When I walked out of the examination room, I heard the wailing voices around me, complaining that the teacher did not play cards according to common sense this time, saying that the last big question would not be done.
As I walked, I began to congratulate myself on my wise decision.
When I walked out of the exam room, I was still a little confused. It wasn't until Zhang Tianzhe kept shaking his hands in front of me that he gradually relaxed from the tense atmosphere.
Zhang Tianzhe didn't ask me anything about the exam, and the first thing he said was: "Hungry, let's go eat!"
I smiled at him gratefully.
When I arrived at the cafeteria, I was relaxed by the familiar smell of food, and I naturally shared the bits and pieces that happened during the exam with the people around me. This time, Zhang Tianzhe was smiling, and he just listened to me silently and was a quiet listener throughout the whole process.
Instead, sitting across from us was a mother and daughter, who was complaining to her mother that the last question on the math test was too difficult. Her mother opened her throat and shouted, "Tell you to study hard, not to read." Now you know it's difficult, right?"
The daughter who was swept away immediately shut up.
Halfway through the meal, the mother saw that her daughter didn't speak and began to ask, "How is the exam, do you want to talk about it?"
The daughter drooped her head and picked up the shredded potatoes in the basin with chopsticks without speaking.
When my mother saw this, she immediately complained: "You kid, why don't you say anything when you ask you? I got up early in the morning to accompany you until now, and I don't want to say a word to my mother......
At this time, I looked at the people around me gratefully, and I was extremely glad that I had him by my side.
There were two exams in the afternoon, and there were mistakes and insufficient review.
But overall, it went well.
When I walked out of the examination room again, the first thing Zhang Tianzhe said when he saw me was: "Xiaoxiao, I wish you the title of the gold list!"
