The Road to Litigation 16 (serialized by Deng San's works)

Seeing that she didn't seem to be as plump as before, shadows appeared between her eyebrows, and a charming wrinkle gathered at the corner of her eyes. Maybe there is something unsatisfactory, he had heard Zhu Yue gush endlessly that she was a married woman, when Zhu Yue saw that he began to publish articles in "Law", he went to investigate the girls who were editors, more than four years older than them, they were admitted after working in the Foreign Trade Bureau, and her husband was from the United States, downtown Shanghai, and he was very rich...... Then Zhu Yue also told him:

"If you have the chance, I can also post two articles and show off ......"

But the article he wrote, Wen Hong shook his head when he saw it. So, the matter was put on hold.

"Don't call me that! I'm an amateur......"

"Why did you come to the Bund to play?"

"The locals don't want to play anymore? I went to my parents' house, and they were nearby. ”

"You won't go back to Chongming during the summer vacation?"

He seemed a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Let's go together. ”

He finally calmed down, and resolutely replied:

"Okay. ”

So they walked side by side on the street at a slight distance. Passing through the shops he had seen, they walked to the Bund again, and it was pleasant, walking down the street with a young female classmate, he thought.

"You went straight from school to university, right?"

"Yes. ”

"I was admitted from the unit, and after graduating from high school, I replaced my father to work in the Foreign Trade Bureau, and a year later I came to the university. ”

They chatted casually as they walked, but only in the school area.

"Why don't you go down and have a look?"

Walk to the place where he came up.

"Okay. ”

He couldn't help but say against his will, the two of them unconsciously walked down the stone stairs, and said that it was strange, as if his previous hunger had disappeared without a trace, and it was indeed "beautiful and delicious", and he couldn't help but think of Confucius's aphorism.

"Would you like to take on the job of editor?"

"I haven't done it?"

"It's not a big deal, with your knowledge, very quickly, very quickly...... I graduated soon, and now I am also a graduate, our bureau wants me to go back to work, and has set up a special legal department for me, so that I can be the director, and said that no matter when I want to change jobs, I will not be blocked, I haven't contacted any unit for a while, I will go back to work first, and then I will take the lawyer's qualification examination this year, work in the unit, study and practice, and I will think about it in the long run......

"So, I'm going to let you pick up my role in Jurisprudence. Since I saw your article, I think you are qualified to take on the role. In the past two years, you have posted a lot of articles...... After I left, I was able to find a capable person. The school wanted to keep me, but I had an agreement with the unit before, and the principal had also instructed me to leave the school again and recommend an editor. ”

The two of them crouched on the marble railing and admired the Huangpu River at night...... On the other side of the river, the inky sky is high above the bright moon, and below is a street with brilliant lights, towering buildings, many of which are castle-like buildings from the thirties, beautiful and shining. Shang Ruoyue really has Chang'e in the middle of the month, and he is also surprised, the prosperity of this world......

He saw that she was preoccupied, and he only wanted to please her:

"Tell me a funny story about our countryside, a real person and a real story......"

"Okay!"

The conversation finally turned to things other than reading and work.

"My mother was in charge of family planning work in the village, and that year she received a few packs of condoms from the commune, saying that they were family planning and that contraception was available, and my mother sent these things to some peasant households, but soon some peasant households were pregnant with a second child.

"I don't know. ”

"Say: We took it home and slaughtered the old hen stew to eat, it didn't work......"

"Hahaha......"

She couldn't help but laugh. She was a laughing woman, and whenever something made her laugh, she would laugh out loud, even leaning back and forth, and that's what she was doing.

He gave her a strange look. I think she is very hearty, she speaks like this, and she laughs like this.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Okay. ”

He strode out into the street, went to the shop where they had met earlier, and bought two bottles of Pepsi:

"Nothing else?"

The peddler, who had come the other time, saw him come a second time, touched a packet of signatures or something, and deliberately pinched it so loudly as if he knew he was hungry.

"Unnecessary ......"

He felt hungry, swallowed his saliva, endured it, and ran to her side with another gust of wind and handed her the Coke.

"Thank you. ”

After all, he had been hungry for nearly a day and was a little out of breath, but he quickly adjusted. Slowly opened the cap, he pretended to take a sip slowly, although he felt like a stretch in his throat, and he wanted to pull the plastic bottle down his stomach, but he pretended to be calm, made an extremely relaxed and leisurely appearance, and talked with her......

"Have you ever thought about making a fortune?"

“...... It's too early, isn't it?"

"Reform and opening up has also been these years, we have been embraced into this torrent almost as adults, Deng Xiaoping said: white cats, black cats, catch mice is good cats. Don't you want to be a cat?"

In fact, he has a plan in his chest, but he doesn't like to show off, and he thinks that this is the primary character of a man's success. He thinks that his things are too exposed, like a living heart hanging outside, making people look at it and be afraid...... These may be his character who loves to read all day long, and he also admires Li Hongzhang, God knows what he wants to do!

"And what books have you been reading lately?"

He paused for a moment and said:

"The Parchment Scroll" compiled by Oug Mandino. ”

"I haven't heard of this book, "Parchment Roll", and cashmere!"

She laughed again. He felt embarrassed and looked at her strangely. She seemed to sense her gaffe, and immediately stopped, and looked at him seriously. In the dark night, they looked at each other, her large, transparent black eyes, like two stars in the sky staring at him persistently, and he was a little flustered and at a loss. Looking at the beauty under the moon, she is indeed very beautiful, and he is a little thoughtful.

"Yes, I want to make a fortune",

He was silent for a moment, and replied firmly.

"It's not a bad thing to want to get rich. But make a fortune with intelligence and ability, and never follow the crowd. ”

"Go with the flow?"

"Have you seen Qu Yuan's "Orange Collar"?"

"O orange trees in the south of the Yangtze River,

Growing up in this south,

Independent,

green leaves,

White flowers,

Sharp Thorn ......"

She was dashing.

"Do you like Cifu, I've also read some, mainly Song Ci, like Xin Qiji, modern Nalan Rongruo ......"

"I also like Nalan, I also like Xu Zhimo, they have similarities, they are not happy in love, just write ancient rhymes and lyrics, and the other is lyrical ......in the vernacular."

The two were in love, he was thinking about those inconsequential sexual things, thinking that she was sleeping under him at this time...... When a man sees a woman thinking about this...... Either you have a criminal mind, or you have a hunting target. After walking for another while, they stopped at each other and looked at each other: the river under their feet was like their mood, surging and flowing. The bustling steamers sounded their whistles to each other to announce their arrival. The two were immersed in their thoughts.

Late at night, the young people who entered the river in pairs were still lingering, but God was mercilessly raining.

"It's raining ......"

She covered her head with her hands, turned and trotted, and she suddenly felt something wrong in her lower abdomen, fever. - Oops? Is it a hormonal rush and a menstrual cramp...... She thought, she couldn't care about that much. He also ran after her, ran to the road, he took off his shirt, and put it on her, and she didn't shirk it, and suddenly she saw a bus, which was going in the direction of her house, and she didn't look back...... What if the bleeding began to begin immediately? Passing through the empty trunk, she hurriedly stuck out her head and told him:

"You go across the street and sit on 410 until the school gate, and we'll see you tomorrow morning. ”

The car grunted away. He was sober and ran across the road in the heavy rain to get into the car. He touched his pocket, there was no money, and the only remaining 20 yuan after buying Coke was in his jacket pocket, wasn't the clothes draped over his body by her? Fortunately, there was a stainless steel canopy at the station, so it didn't rain, and as soon as he hid in, the feeling of hunger and cold reappeared. He clutched his upper body tightly, wearing only an old sleeveless shirt and two holes in his chest like eyes. This night, he was extremely miserable, almost braving the wind and rain, all the way back to the campus.

"It's a full three kilometers of road...... Wow ......"

Back in the dormitory, because of the holiday, Zhu Yue, who got along with him and was talkative, also went home. He landed alone in the dormitory, thinking about the unhappiness of going home today, and the unexpected encounter with Wenhong, he was troubled and sighed unlucky. The dormitory is a six-story cement slab house with no elevator. He is on the fourth floor, is the school is being rebuilt has not yet been numbered house, because the facilities are simple, and very old, so it is arranged for students from the countryside to live and use, even the meter box is hung one by one on the entrance to the building, lest students steal electricity or something (at that time, some dormitories also installed their own air conditioning) a room and a meter. He rummaged through the table, fortunately found a pack of instant noodles, saw that the water bottle had no boiling water, ran downstairs to the boiling water room, and looked, the hot water faucet was cold, and the surroundings were dark again. He was dejected, almost depressed, and returned to his stuffy, crowded, disorganized dormitory. He pushed open the window in the middle of the room with broken glass, looked out at the twilight campus, and pondered for a long time. He dragged his heavy body, grabbed the bag of instant noodles on the dirty table, and tore the fiery red bag three or two times, maybe he was too hungry to tear it open, he took it to his mouth and took a bite, and when it opened, he gnawed like a wolf. This night, even in his sleep, he was gritting his teeth and whispering that he must make a fortune. The next day, when it was dawn, the sun came in through the dusty glass window and shot directly on his face, and he slowly woke up from his sleep, sat up, rubbed his already red eyes, and his whole body seemed to have a sick feeling, and he was afraid of it, knowing that he didn't have a penny at all, and it was still difficult to eat, let alone go to the hospital to see something...... So he frowned. He got out of bed and sneezed, he was really sick......

"Lin Zhijun - Lin Zhijun -"

Suddenly he heard someone shouting to him, and he shook himself and went to the door, and when he saw that the door of his bedroom had not been closed all night, it was wide open. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself:

"I don't have a penny on me, and I'm afraid that others will rob me......"

He smiled helplessly. At this time, I saw Wenhong appear at the door:

"Oh, you're sick...... I said, it's almost 11 o'clock at noon, and I haven't seen you come to the magazine yet, so I asked to come to you, and it turns out that you are sick......"

Seeing that he was pale, his eyes were shining, and his limbs were tired and weak, he stood there, she said.

It turned out that the night before, Wen Hong rushed home in a hurry, and when he saw it, it was indeed a cramp. She hurriedly took a bath and tidied up, because she was tired, and fell asleep quickly after going to bed. The next day, she also overslept, woke up at nine o'clock, she suddenly thought about the agreement with Lin Zhijun last night, and quickly got out of bed to wash, usually she is a woman who doesn't pay much attention to dressing up, let alone makeup or something, today, she is in the bathroom, brushing her teeth, carefully looking at nothing for use facial cleanser or something, seeing that there is still half a piece, I bought the soap I usually use to wash my hands, wipe it on my face, and feel that the skin is tight and tight after washing, as if the skin is too alkaline and astringent moisture. She regretted that she didn't buy something emollient to use, and she didn't know who to show it to. Why has she come back in such a mood that she hasn't had since her husband went to the United States? Could it be that she has fallen in love with this boy who is several years younger than herself? She thought as she walked out of the cramped bathroom, which was originally nothing more than a five-drawer-sized bucket house with a toilet bowl on it, but it was later transformed into what it is now: a small flush toilet on the floor, a crooked shower hanging upside down on the top, and a bronze lens on the narrow wall. A person can take a bath while sitting on the toilet. Out of the bathroom, she opened the three-door wardrobe crowded next to the bed, turned out all the summer clothes and spread them out on the bed, and stood there, holding her chin with her hands and biting her nails with her mouth, as if she couldn't make up her mind, and didn't know what to wear. She bent down on the floor again, grabbed the pile of leather shoes under the bed, looked at one, flat heels, she reached out and threw it out, grabbed another one, heelless again, threw it away, and finally grabbed a pair of black Tom brand high heels, which her husband bought for her when she got married.

"That's it! Which skirt should I wear it with?"

She put her foot in the shoe and went around the room "clucking and clucking", helpless. Finally dressed and about to go out, she turned back to the bathroom, opened a drawer, and looked for something. She tried to find a lipstick to put on her thin, somewhat dry and pale lips, but she didn't!

"Anyway, it's a little gaudy, at least red. ”

She put down the red pencil, finished admiring herself, and ran downstairs with a "knock knock", got in the car and went to the school magazine, only to arrive at the door of his dormitory, and when she saw him in the room, she hurriedly rushed in, touched his forehead with her right hand and said loudly:

"You're in a fever!"
