Chapter 17 Section 6

"Uncle, why are you here?" "You go out quietly, your mother is in a hurry, call me and let me come out to find you. Fortunately, you still know how to call back, so don't play such running games in the future, okay?" Su Zhe He got out of the car and stood in front of them. It was still cold, but he was only wearing a white shirt and jeans. Yueqing said angrily: "Little uncle, I told my mother that it is to let the wind go, not to leave. If I want to leave, I will at least bring my passbook. The money in it is enough for me to spend for a while." "Let's talk about this issue tonight, get in the car now." He glanced at Shao Yimin, "Teacher Shao, get in the car too, I'll see you off, it's raining too much."

Yueqing had already opened the back seat door, it seemed suspicious for Shao Yimin to refuse again, so he had no choice but to get in the car. "Hey, Teacher Shao, after you come to teach Fang Wenjing next week, you can play video games with me, okay?" "Mrs. Fang didn't like me. I'm unemployed and I don't have money to play video games with you." Yue Qing took it seriously: "Although I don't need to teach Fang Wenjing, I think it's a good thing, and it will save her from recruiting her pervert father. But...do you have no money to pay tuition, no money to eat, I can borrow yours, I have money."

Shao Yimin had no choice but to surrender with a smile: "I'm sorry, I was joking with you just now. I have already paid my tuition fees, and I have enough money on my meal card. I won't be hungry. Thank you, Yueqing. I have to wait until I am free to play video games." , your mother is also allowed to leave, and you can avoid talking if you sneak out." Yue Qing lowered her face, she couldn't bear it a bit: "Well, you can ask your mother, if she agrees, then we can go play for a while after class today." Yueqing immediately asked Su Zhe for a mobile phone, but Su Zhe had already driven the car downstairs: "Hurry up, my English teacher is already here. I approved it on behalf of your mother, but you have to promise that this kind of non-explanatory release will not be done in the future." It will happen again."

Yueqing smiled and nodded: "Mr. Shao, you can go up with me." "I have to find an Internet cafe and check some information before coming here. I won't go up now." Su Zhe opened his mouth: "I'll take Teacher Shao to my office to surf the Internet, and I'll send her over later." Yueqing nodded in satisfaction and got out of the car.Su Zhe looked back at Shao Yimin: "Did you really meet a pervert?" "Yueqing is exaggerating, what kind of pervert." She looked worriedly at the rain outside the window, "Office? It's not convenient. I'd better go to the Internet cafe."

"It's raining too much, it's very convenient for me to surf the Internet, and I just have to do something." Su Zhe smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't touch you, I'm not in a hurry. " Shao Yimin hesitated and nodded.Su Zhe started the car and drove to the underground parking lot of a high-end office building in the urban area. Just as he got out of the car, his cell phone rang. He said "I'm sorry" and answered the phone while locking the car door. She walked away a few steps to avoid suspicion, but the underground garage was very quiet, and his voice was still heard clearly.

"No, I don't think that's a good idea." "Huihui, accept the reality, I don't like complicated relationships, and I don't like to bring up old things again." "Invitation card? Well, you don't need to send it here, just send it to me. If you think it's appropriate, I will attend your wedding and give you a big red envelope." He said with a smile, "But you are so self-willed. There's no good in life...well, bye." He came over after making the phone call: "Go up, the elevator is here." Su Zhe's office is on the twenty-fifth floor, with a plain sign hanging on the door, stating that it is the central representative office of a foreign insurance company.I went in and saw that the office was a large suite, with a reception area and a semicircular one-seater office area outside, where computers, faxes, and printers were placed.

"You can do whatever you want. I'll do something inside. There's water over there. If you want to drink, pour it yourself." The central air conditioner was turned on in the office, Yi Min took off his coat and sat down, turned on the computer, logged on to QQ, which he barely used, and then entered the mailbox, and sure enough, he received an email from his uncle.She saved the useful information in the USB flash drive she brought with her, and was browsing the website introduced by her uncle, when a request to add was displayed on QQ, she saw the information, and it was Liu Hongyu, who quickly added it.

"Hi, it's so rare to meet you." "I seldom take it. I just wanted to ask you about the TOEFL test." "Do you also plan to go abroad?" "I want to try it, but it's a bit late to prepare. I don't know if I can pass the TOEFL in August this year." "If you want to make a surprise move, you can come to Beijing New Oriental's summer intensive class, and I can also send you some materials. In fact, I took a detour. I passed the TOEFL last year, and I should have passed the GRE (Graduate Admissions Examination) first. Yes, it’s much easier to take the G first and then the T. And the GRE score is valid for five years, while the TOEFL is only valid for two years.”

"I'm going to apply to a Canadian school, I just need to pass the TOEFL, and I don't have time to prepare for the GRE." Liu Hongyu introduced several BBS to her, and there is a lot of information about studying abroad. Many people will introduce their experience in exams, preparation materials, and scholarship applications. The whole time, it seems that the whole life is revolving around this goal, "Even when I am with my girlfriend, I think about it." Shao Yimin felt the same way as him, and the two chatted for a while before saying goodbye.She logged out, exited the mailbox, cleared the Internet records, turned off the computer, took out her book and concentrated on reading it.

Su Zhe was the representative of the central representative office of this foreign-funded insurance company. He said it was a representative office, but in fact there was only one secretary besides him who was in charge.At this time, the domestic policy of opening up foreign-funded insurance companies has not yet been issued, but major insurance companies with ambitions for the Chinese market have begun their own deployment.After Su Zhe returned from studying abroad last year, because of his background in this city, he was favored by the head office as soon as he was introduced, and was sent to take up this position, responsible for the preliminary preparations and operations.

He finished handling his mail, checked the time, and walked out, only to find that she was holding a book and reading without distraction.Looking at her from his angle, one can see that her expression is focused and stable, her long and thin eyelashes tremble slightly, and her slightly drooping neck presents a beautiful arc.He stared at it for a while before saying, "Can I go?" "certainly." Shao Yimin put away the book, got up and moved the chair back to its original place, and checked to see if it was still raining outside the window. It was the first time for her to stand so high and look at the city, and she couldn't help being a little surprised.The rain seems to have stopped, and under the light mist, the city looks misty. At a glance, the high and low buildings are scattered and connected to the gray sky. A flock of pigeons flits past the eyes, and the heavy traffic on the road looks very far away.Not far away, a small lake is inlaid between tall buildings like a green gem. Su Zhe walked behind her and followed her gaze.This is the city where he was born. Although he left several times in the middle, when he decided to return to China after finishing his studies, he returned to the local area without thinking.He was ordered to set up a representative office, and he chose to work here because he liked the small lake in the city center within sight. Shao Yimin felt him approaching, turned around suddenly, and met him face to face.She stepped back subconsciously, leaning her body heavily against the window sill. "I made you so nervous?" She moved the corner of her mouth, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said frankly: "I can't help it, I'm really nervous about you." "Is it worth it to struggle so hard with yourself?" "I don't know, but if there's a reason for me to struggle, I guess it's worth it." She forced herself to calm down, turned slightly sideways, and reached for her coat.Su Zhe got it first, he shook off the clothes and put them on for her. In an instant, their bodies were in contact with each other. She was already very familiar with the smell of cologne on his body. She had to work hard to control her trembling.She stood stiffly, and when he took a step away, she breathed a sigh of relief.Su Zhe helped her pick up her schoolbag and motioned her to go out first. The two of them took the elevator silently, staring directly at the elevator door without looking at each other, and went to the underground garage to get on the car. Su Zhe said while driving: "Yi Min, can you go up and talk to my sister-in-law later? Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to ask you to reveal your family affairs to comfort her. In fact, divorce may be a relief for her, but she is now I care too much about Yueqing and Leping, but it makes the two children very difficult. I am a man and her ex-husband's cousin, so it is inconvenient to say some things too directly." Shao Yimin didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, but she thought of Yueqing and Leping, so she nodded: "If Sister Sun is willing to listen, I can give her some advice from the perspective of educational psychology, but I'm afraid my opinion is not authoritative." "She doesn't need authoritative opinions, she just lacks frank communication. Her family is not in the local area, and she seems to have very little contact with those original friends after the divorce." "I'll go with you. I'm afraid that sister Sun will not be happy to see it. She told me to stay away from you, and I agreed." Su Zhe smiled: "It seems that my sister-in-law really likes you, otherwise she wouldn't spoil me like this. Don't worry, I will tell her that I am just pestering you right now." The smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more Obviously, "And you've been standing firm." She blushed for a moment, and said helplessly, "Why do you have to mock me? If I remain firm, I will have a lot less trouble." "I feel very happy that you can worry about me. At least in your heart, I am not a worthless stranger." Sun Yongzhi came to open the door for them and was very happy to see Shao Yimin: "It's a good thing Yueqing went out and ran into you, otherwise I don't know how long he would have been walking around before he would come back. They are still in class, let's go upstairs and sit down, I am packing things. Su Zhe, you can do whatever you want." Shao Yimin followed Sun Yongzhi upstairs, walked into her master suite, and found a lot of things spread out on the floor.Sun Yongzhi sat cross-legged on a cushion, and pushed a cushion for her: "As long as I have time now, I will start to organize things, put them in different categories, so as not to be in a hurry when I have to leave." "It's too early to tidy up now?" "It's not too early. I've already sorted out a lot of things that I don't need to take away. I didn't expect that seventeen years of marriage and two children would accumulate so many things." She picked up a video tape casually, "This is my It’s ironic that I recorded it when I got married, I wanted to throw it away, but then I thought, after all, it’s part of my life, and I can’t erase it even if I throw it away.” Sun Yongzhi was a little thinner, but she was in good spirits, and she seemed relieved after being relieved.She rummaged through one thing: videotapes, photo albums, various commemorative books, certificates of awards from Yueqing and Leping, childhood compositions, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day greeting cards and birthday cards, tourist souvenirs, small toys, and labeled the ones she was going to keep. Min wrote a simple note with a marker and put it in a cardboard box. Looking at the dazzling array of beautiful things in front of him, Shao Yimin was not without emotion. She has the experience of moving and packing up twice.The first time was when she was ten years old, her parents divorced and were about to remarry, and her grandparents came to pick her up to live with her, and she packed her things silently.Although her parents have been at odds for many years, they have taken good care of her.In her small room, there are fluffy cartoon teddy bears on the bedside, issues of children's literature and fairy tale books on the bookshelves, and a group photo of the family of three on the wall. She didn't even look at these, she just put all the clothes she could wear into the box, packed her schoolbag, and left with her grandparents.Later, when Dad said that he would send those things over, she said without looking up: "There is no place to put them, so throw them all away." Grandparents’ house was small, and her room was even smaller, with only a narrow single bed, a small desk, and a simple wardrobe. The view from the window was just the red wall of the opposite dormitory, and the scenery was monotonous.But the kindness of her grandparents made her feel at ease from the moment she moved in. When her parents picked her up separately, she couldn't deal with the two strangers who had to be called uncle and aunt, and most of them would definitely refuse.Later, they each had children, and contact became even rarer.She went to a boarding school in junior high school. She has no aversion to the collective dormitory, but every weekend, she packs her schoolbag and goes home quickly. She seems to be relieved to stay in her own small room. The noisy children playing together outside have never affected her. There is no temptation. She never thought about the possibility of returning to her hometown to work after graduation, but having a home waiting for her firmly in the distance felt that it would be very different after all.But that house will soon belong to someone else. The day before returning to school for the winter vacation, she turned on the radio and started to pack the things she needed to take away for the second time.Only then did I realize that what belongs to me is really pitiful, and it is even easier to make choices than when I was ten years old. She has never had the habit of keeping a diary since she was a child, and she has never participated in the interest of writing and inscribing messages in the yearbooks among classmates. There are not many photos saved, and they are all packed in a round biscuit box, which is not easy to carry. She plans to deposit them in her father. At home, I only picked a photo with my grandparents when I graduated from high school and put it in my wallet.Looking at the top of the desk, there is a wall-mounted bookshelf, almost all of which are high school textbooks and teaching materials, so there is no need to take any of them. She has always thought that she has no emotional stubbornness or fetishism, but seeing that she only took a thin photo with her luggage when she came back, and bid farewell to this house, this realization made her feel true for the first time. Realized how poor my own life is. Right now, she is helping Sun Yongzhi pack and tie up commemorative items one by one, as if she can see that the joy at that time was frozen in these complicated and trivial things, but she has never had such a simple happiness.Everything in the past seems to have been deliberately forgotten by myself. "What's the matter, Yimin?" Yi Min came back to her senses and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, this teddy bear is very cute." Sun Yongzhi picked up a stack of letters tied with ribbons, was stunned for a moment, and shook her head: "It's more ironic than the video, this is the love letter Yue Qing wrote to me before. He is an engineering student, and his writing is so lingering. When I arrived, I thought he had copied it." The expression on her face instantly became gentle, and then she smiled bitterly, looked at the yellowed envelope again, raised her hand decisively, and threw it into a trash next to her. in the carton. "Forget it, I've been nagging a lot lately, and it's really inappropriate to say this to a girl like you. It may make you lose confidence in your marriage." "No, I'm not that vulnerable and sentimental." "Anyway, we were indeed happy, and I won't resent him. I plan to take away everything from the two children, no matter how trivial. I want to keep every bit of memory about them. The husband may become an ex-husband, but No matter how old your children are, they will always be my children.” "That's natural, Sister Sun. But have you ever thought that they are fifteen years old, have their own opinions on many things, and will soon grow up and be independent." Sun Yongzhi's eyes dimmed: "Of course I thought about it, so I cherish every day I spend with them. I can no longer give them a complete home. I just hope that paying more for them can be regarded as compensation." "You and Mr. Lin just live separately. I believe that Mr. Lin will care about them as well. So, don't have too much psychological burden, and don't take care of the two children too much, which will cause psychological pressure on both of them. I I don’t know what Leping’s situation is now, but Yueqing seems to have accepted the reality. From a psychological point of view, treating them with a normal attitude will help them establish their own balance. At their age, they should have a certain independent life Space and self-adjustment ability, don't treat them too much like children." Sun Yongzhi listened carefully and was speechless for a while. Shao Yimin hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Those big principles may not be convincing. When I was growing up, my parents didn't pay attention to me, and I resented it. But in retrospect, they were actually very guilty at first, and they were very eager to make up for me. Instead, I was intimidated by their enthusiasm. Because it was not the normal parental love that I expected. They were just trying to pretend to me that my life hadn't changed, but I knew it was just an illusion, no matter what It’s useless to cover up. I think what Yueqing Leping hopes to get is not your bottomless contribution. If you can be relaxed and happy, it is also a good hint to them, proving that even if your parents are not together, life is still OK and on the right track conduct." Sun Yongzhi thought deeply, her expression fluctuating.Shao Yimin thought that these words had already violated his usual principles, so he could only say so much.She packed up the greeting cards one by one, and accidentally dropped one. The greeting card fluttered to the floor and unfolded, and a Christmas song was played automatically.Sun Yongzhi picked up the greeting card and looked at it carefully. "Yueqing Leping received it when she was four years old. It's amazing, and the battery is still working." She looked up at Yi Min, "My parents and friends take divorce more seriously than I do. Either they are overly concerned and feel that my future is dark, or they are forced to smile. I hate their attitude. I didn't expect that I would treat Yueqing Leping with this attitude without knowing it. Thank you, Yi Min, you and Su Zhe are right, I am indeed too nervous during this time. I will try to relax myself. " While talking, Yueqing and Leping went upstairs after class. Seeing something on the ground, Leping exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, Mom, you still have such a small photo of us. The clockwork frog is still there, and Yueqing used to snatch it from me. Just for fun." "Obviously it's mine, you should grab it from me." They all sat down on the floor, flipping through their childhood memories.Yi Min handed the marker pen to Yue Qing: "Help your mother clean up, how about we play video games next time?" Yueqing nodded.Yi Min smiled at Sun Yongzhi: "I'll go first, Sister Sun, goodbye, Yueqing Leping." Sun Yongzhi and the two children also looked up and said goodbye to her with a smile.
