Chapter 43 Section 7

After Yang Hong came back from Chen Daling's side, she was still a little dizzy, and she was very happy to think that she still had a little musical talent.But I really don't have the heart to learn the piano, I just want to listen to others playing the piano.At night, when Chen Daling was playing the piano, Yang Hong turned off the TV and even the lights, closed his eyes, and sat there to listen quietly.Chen Daling also seems to be particularly fond of beautiful and mournful tunes, and most of them are of this type. Yang Hong thought, I can't go to Chen Daling's house anymore, lest he misunderstand and think I like him.But if Chen Daling has anything to ask me for help, then I can talk to him without feeling guilty.Thinking this way in the morning, Chen Daling knocked on her door at noon and asked her: "Can you do me a favor?"

Yang Hong was startled, how could he seem to hear what I was saying in my heart?But she remembered that such things do happen in life. When someone borrowed something from you and didn’t return it for a long time, you were talking about it at home, saying why it took so long to return it. It was just a coincidence that the door overheard your words. Yang Hong said: "Don't be so polite, what do you need me to do, just say it." Chen Daling hesitated for a moment, and said: "That's right, a former student is coming this afternoon, girl, she mainly wants to confirm whether I have a girlfriend. Can you sit with me for a while, just There’s nothing to say about knitting sweaters there.”

Yang Hong laughed: "You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend? If you don't like her, why don't you tell her directly?" "Girls are sensitive and self-reproaching. Why make her go to the bottom of it and try to find some faults in herself?" Yang Hong was a little worried: "It's not good to lie like this?" Chen Daling smiled, showing her white and neat teeth: "Are you afraid of being struck by lightning if you lie? Aren't you my friend? Aren't you a woman? You don't count as a liar." Yang Hong agreed, and asked again: "Then should I dress up a bit so as not to lose your person?"

"What to dress, the more you stay at home, the better. Don't say anything about the person who insults me. I'm afraid I will wrong you and let her say that you are so young and beautiful, why did you find such an old guy. Say hello first, don't you when the time comes As soon as I got angry, I told the truth." When it was almost four o'clock, Chen Daling called Yang Hong over and asked her to sit there knitting a sweater.At four o'clock, a pretty girl came. Yang Hong took a look and felt that she was too fake. Others would know that she was a fake, but the girl didn't see any flaws.When Chen Daling introduced vaguely, "This is Yang Hong, and this is Li Jingjing", Li Jingjing nodded at her, then ignored her and only talked to Chen Daling.

Just at this moment, the guard Liu Bo came up and asked Chen Daling to go down to answer the phone. Chen Daling politely said to Li Jingjing, "Sit down for a while, I'll be right back." Then he went downstairs with Liu Bo. Li Jingjing asked Yang Hong: "Why is your family uneasy about the phone?" Yang Hong didn't expect that she still had the task of speaking, and she was not prepared at all, and when she heard "your family", she naturally thought of going to her and Zhou Ning's house, so she said: "I just started working, and I don't have a lot of money. Let's talk about the collective The dormitory also doesn’t allow Ann’s phone calls.”

After hearing this, Li Jingjing looked puzzled, and asked again: "Ms. Chen just started working? Aren't Mrs. Chen and Teacher Chen classmates?" Yang Hong didn't know what Chen Daling's version of this question was, so she could only hesitate and say: "It's okay." Li Jingjing didn't seem to really care whether the two of them were classmates, as long as the "Ms. Chen" was answered by Yang Hong , can explain the problem, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye, saying: "I still have something to do. When Mr. Chen comes back, you tell him that I will go first."

When Chen Daling came back, Yang Hong said to him: "You said you don't need to talk. Now I answered her call Mrs. Chen. Isn't that me lying to her? I really feel sorry for her." Chen Daling comforted her and said: "If there is no interruption, there will be chaos. This kind of thing can only be cut quickly. She will be fine after this period. Besides, she will think that this is just a matter of first come, first served, which is easier to accept. It's not that she's in bad condition, it's just that she's late." "What's wrong with her? I think she's a good match for you."

Chen Daling couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your tone sounds like Sister Mao. It seems that other people are a good match. As long as you are a good person, you will fall in love with him? Not necessarily. Like you With Zhou Ning, there are so many boys in the same class, and the others must be good, why do you fall in love with him? Love is such a thing, you have to talk about the feeling of being excited, right?" Thinking of her love with Zhou Ning, Yang Hong didn't know if what she felt was heartfelt, so she unintentionally said: "Actually, when I was young, I made up my mind to marry someone who could play the piano." After saying this, Yang Hong suddenly felt Fearing that Chen Daling had misunderstood and gone elsewhere, he hurriedly declared: "That was all nonsense when I was a child. In fact, Zhou Ning can be regarded as a violin player, but he doesn't like to play now."

Chen Daling asked Zhou Ning what kind of violin he played. He heard that it was Erhu, so he said that he had learned Erhu for a while before, because the violin was a Western instrument, and he was afraid that others would say he was xenophobic when he learned the violin.But later I felt that the sound of the erhu was too sad, and I wanted to cry when I played it, so I still learned the violin. Chen Daling said: "I don't know why, but I feel that the sound of the erhu is too sad, which expresses a kind of sadness that cannot be uncovered at home. As for the violin, although it can also be sad, it is only a kind of faint sadness, or It is emotional grief. Perhaps it has something to do with the life experience of Chinese people. The grief in Western literature and art is mainly the grief of love, but in modern Chinese literature, there are many direct descriptions of people's struggles on the line of life and death. Without that experience, it is difficult to understand that kind of sorrow.”

Chen Daling told Yang Hong the story of him jumping in the queue and settling down, saying that the place he went to was a very poor and backward place, and that kind of poverty was not only material, but also spiritual and emotional, because poverty and backwardness Hand in hand with ignorance.The idea that men are superior to women is very serious there. Husbands always call on their wives, beating and scolding.What women think is also "marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat".Many little girls cannot even go to elementary school. Yang Hong listened, thinking of Zhou Ning's hometown, Zhou Jiachong, and thought, compared with the men in his hometown who beat and scolded their wives, Zhou Ning probably loved women very much.Yang Hong said: "Sometimes I really want to do something for the people in those places, especially for the women there."

Chen Daling said: "Then you can join the lecturer group. Now every department has to draw people to form a lecturer group to go to the countryside to preach the spirit of the Party Central Committee, and I also signed up. I don't know much about the Party Central Committee. Spiritual, I just want to go there to teach, teach piano, and help the children there. But H University is very funny. On the day of leaving, I have to wear red and flowers, and let the teachers and students of the school line up on Xuefu Avenue to see them off. I hardly dare to sign up anymore. What’s even more ridiculous is that the school even gave me a one-bedroom house. When I was here, they didn’t give it to me. I went to the countryside, but instead gave me a house. In fact, I , it doesn’t matter what kind of house I live in. I have stayed in such a poor place, and now I feel very happy no matter what kind of house I live in or what kind of life I live in. In terms of material life, I am a typical person who does not strive for improvement, and is satisfied with what is better than what is not enough , more than the next." Yang Hong asked in surprise: "You have divided into one room and one living room? Then you are moving out? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Even she herself heard the surprise in her voice, and quickly stopped talking. Chen Daling smiled, looked at her for a while, and then said softly: "I didn't move out of the earth. I'm still in this school. It's in the fifth district. Go out from the school gate here and walk along Binhu Road. You can't ride a bicycle." We'll be there in ten minutes." "Then how long are you going to the lecturer group?" "Go for a year, and if you want, you can stay longer." Yang Hong felt confused, and was afraid that he would see the reluctance in her heart, so she hurriedly said goodbye and went home.
