Chapter 53 Section 51

Li Bing retorted: "Don't do something wrong to your heart outside, and now you want to beat him up." Seeing that he spoke so confidently, she felt uneasy. Did JOE tell Li Bing about BENNY?She didn't want to look like she had a ghost in her heart, so she said, "It was you who were comparing the difference between a caesarean section and not a caesarean section just now, and you don't admit it?" Li Bing snorted: "Is there a need to try this kind of thing? Only one person knows that if a child is so big, if he comes out of that hole, won't he make that place RUA?"

She didn't want to make a big fuss about this topic, so she pretended to be asleep and ignored him.After a while, she thought he might have fallen asleep, so she got up and went to sleep on her daughter's bed. Early the next morning, she got up to buy a train ticket.As soon as she moved, Mimi got up as if she had heard the alarm clock.She didn't know if Mimi had been thinking about this all night, so she didn't sleep deeply.She whispered, "Mimi, what are you doing up so early? Mommy is going to the train station to buy tickets, and you can stay in the hotel with daddy, okay?"

Mimi refused: "I want to go with you—" She had no choice but to bring her daughter with her, and the two of them took a taxi to the ticket office. Seeing that there were already many people standing, she hurriedly stood at the end of the line and slowly moved forward with everyone.Mimi is playing next to her, bouncing up and down, enjoying herself.She felt sad when she saw it. Mimi was afraid of Li Bing's temper since she was a child, so she was very timid, surprisingly well-behaved, and her requirements were very low, as if she would be content as long as she didn't get scolded.

After standing for a while, she found that the line was moving very slowly. There were dozens of people in front of her, and she didn't know how long she would have to wait. She was so anxious to line up just now that she forgot to eat breakfast.If you leave now to eat breakfast, you will definitely have to stand at the end of the line again when you come back later, which is too uneconomical.But if she doesn't eat, she doesn't know how long she has to stand. It doesn't matter if she doesn't eat, but she is afraid that Mimi will starve. She wanted to discuss with the people before and after, and asked them to help reserve her seat, so that she could take Mimi to have breakfast.She looked at the people in the front and back, and felt that the woman three or four people behind her seemed to be more talkative. She looked about the same age as her, very elegant, a bit like a literary person.She was about to have a conversation, but the woman had already started talking to her: "Is this your daughter? She's so cute, she's as beautiful as you."

She heard that the woman's Mandarin had a strong accent from City Y, so she asked curiously, "Are you from City Y?" The woman was very happy to be heard, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are also from City Y?" The two introduced each other. It turns out that the woman's surname is Wang, and her name is Wang Liling. City Y.After talking about it, I realized that the school where the two teach in City Y is not far away, and their hometown in City Z is also not far from each other. They are considered a whole fellow villager. Helen asked Wang Liling to help stand in line, saying that she wanted to take Mimi to have breakfast.Wang Liling readily agreed, and asked her which train ticket she wanted to buy, and how many tickets to buy, and said that if she didn't come back after the stop, she would buy a few tickets for her.

Helen was very happy to meet such an enthusiastic person, thanked her, and then took Mimi to buy breakfast, and then hurried back to the ticket office.She also brought back some for Wang Liling. After eating breakfast, Mimi went to "hopscotch" next to her, and she chatted with Wang Liling, as if they had become good friends. Wang Liling is very talkative. She said that she used to work in Z city and her husband taught at a university in Z city. When she got married, her whole family disapproved, saying that her husband didn't look good enough for her, and was short and lacking in style.But she insisted on marrying her husband, thinking that it is enough for them to love each other, and a husband with a bad appearance is reassuring, because there is no chance to spend money.

Unexpectedly, this "no opportunity to spend" husband fell in love with a student within two years of marriage, and Wang Liling divorced her husband in a fit of anger.She was just a kindergarten teacher in Z City, but she worked hard on her own to win an opportunity to study in the preschool teacher training school in the province. After graduation, she stayed there as a teacher, engaged in children's dance. Wang Liling was very interested when she heard that Helen came back from the United States.She heard from others that those who engage in children's dance like her have a bright future in the United States. Several of her colleagues are now running dance classes in New York and making a lot of money.She also wanted to go to the United States, because it was meaningless for her to stay in China. She was divorced and in her thirties, so she couldn't marry any good man.Men in their thirties are either divorced or in extremely poor conditions.If she stays in the country, neither her marriage nor her career will improve, so she might as well go abroad.She heard that foreigners don't care if a woman is divorced or not, or whether she is older or younger than herself, as long as she is beautiful.

Helen immediately helped her use her brain: "Then—how are you going to go abroad?" "That's the difficulty. As long as I go out, I believe I can still live. My problem is that I can't go out. I'm not like you. I'm good at English. I haven't studied any cultural courses. I won't be able to go abroad when I take the exam. , can only rely on marriage, travel, etc. Do you know anyone who wants to find a wife in China?" Helen thought of one of her teachers, surnamed Wang, who was Chinese and single, but Professor Wang seemed a little too old, maybe sixty.She didn't know how old Professor Wang was, but she saw a lot of age spots on the back of Professor Wang's hands, so she probably wasn't young anymore.

She talked about Professor Wang's situation, but she didn't know that Wang Liling didn't care about her age, she said that as long as she could get her out, she would be fine.So the two exchanged phone addresses and made an appointment to keep in touch. Wang Liling asked Helen to ask Professor Wang for her as soon as she returned to the United States. The two bought tickets for the same train, both of which were express trains departing tomorrow night to City Y. The seats on the four tickets were shared, so they made an appointment to meet on the train. After the farewell, Helen took Mimi to China CITIC Bank to entrust her to apply for a visa, and asked them to hold it there after the application was completed, and she would come to collect it when she came to Beijing.Then I took a taxi to the zoo to play, and the two mother and daughter reluctantly left after the zoo closed.

The next day, Helen wanted to take Mimi to the World Park, but Li Bing thought it was troublesome and didn't bother to go.She didn't persuade much, so she went with Mimi.After changing cars a few times, we came to the World Park.There she rented a camera and took pictures of Mimi.There are replicas of places of interest around the world in the World Park, and Mimi took pictures in front of each of them, and they are all in the same pose as those places of interest.Standing in front of the Statue of Liberty, he held up a torch, and standing in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, he stood there slantingly, and even the people who were waiting to take pictures were amused.

The two of them played until the evening before rushing back to the hotel, and then took a taxi to the train station.When I got on the train and found my seat, I found that Wang Liling was already there.Helen introduced her and Li Bing, and the four sat down to eat and chat.Wang Liling sat on the side with Helen, and Mimi sat on the side with her father.Li Bing and Wang Liling sat opposite each other, talking very vigorously.Helen was sitting next to her, playing with Mimi and listening to the two of them. She had a feeling in her heart that Li Bing was trying to be funny, and Wang Liling liked his way too. Mimi played so hard during the day that she was still looking out the window when the train just started, and fell asleep after a while.Helen had no choice but to ask Wang Liling to sit beside Li Bing, she and her daughter, so that she could sleep with her.She accompanied her for a few words, and when she was too sleepy, she dozed off with her arms around her daughter. Li Bing seems to be in good spirits.Wang Liling didn't feel sleepy either, so the two played cards in the car.Later, he changed seats with the neighbors, gathered four people, and went to upgrade, and changed two middle-aged women to sit opposite Helen.She hugged the child, slept for a while, woke up for a while, and finally woke up when it was almost dawn.Li Bing and Wang Liling had already returned to their seats at some point, Li Bing was sleeping on the small tea table, and Wang Liling was looking out the window. Summer dawns early, before six o'clock the first light outside, many people in the car go to the bathroom to freshen up, open the blisters and eat instant noodles.When the train stopped at a station, Li Bing rushed down to buy some bread, boiled eggs, pickled mustard and drinks, and told them to have breakfast. He himself went somewhere to play cards. Wang Liling ate breakfast, and said to Helen enviously: "Your husband is very good, he is very good at dealing with people, and he is also good at playing cards. He looks like a smart man. You are so happy." She could tell that Wang Liling's admiration for her was sincere. She didn't want to expose Li Bing's shortcomings, so she simply kept silent, thinking that things in the world might be like this. When you look at a person from a distance, you feel very good. But when you eat in the same pot and sleep in the same bed with him, you will find that he is not the same thing.It may be because of the distance that produces beauty, or it may be because people wear masks outside. Wang Liling was envious, and then poured out her bitterness, saying that her trip to Beijing this time was to travel with her boyfriend.Her boyfriend is a singer of the Y City Song and Dance Troupe. He is very famous and has won awards throughout the country.It's a pity that her boyfriend has a wife, and the relationship with his wife has long been broken, but for the sake of the child, they have never divorced. After the two of them got married, her boyfriend kept her from telling others, so they worked underground for two years.She has always wanted to have a result and be able to get married in a fair manner, but after asking many times, her boyfriend said that there are some reasons why she can't divorce for the time being.When she made up her mind to break up, he cried bitterly again and told her to wait patiently for a while longer. This time they secretly traveled to Beijing and had a great time. As a result, when they were eating at a restaurant the day before yesterday, they met an acquaintance from the Y City Song and Dance Troupe.Her boyfriend was afraid that this matter would reach his wife's ears, so he told her to leave the restaurant alone, and he went to have dinner with those acquaintances by himself.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she bought a ticket back to City Y, determined to never talk to her boyfriend again. Helen doesn't know what to say to her, it's a typical extramarital affair, an infatuated woman, a half-hearted man, looking for a new love outside because of "broken relationship", and unable to divorce because of "father's responsibility".She felt that looking at this matter was like having a mirror in her heart, knowing that the man just wanted to have a free mistress, but she knew that Wang Liling couldn't see this because she really loved that man. Wang Liling said: "I really envy you two. After all, you two are college classmates. You know the basics, and the foundation of your relationship is solid. I heard that many people left their spouses when they went abroad, but you didn't. The two of you have such a good relationship. You Your husband is really nervous about you, and keeps saying that you are too kind to him, and a Ph.D. doesn't think he's just an undergraduate." She didn't know what Li Bing was talking about to Wang Liling, but she knew that Li Bing always flattered his wife in front of outsiders.She knew Li Bing's tactics. If she praised his wife to the sky, she was still his wife after all. If he had no shining qualities, how could the wife in the sky fall in love with him?Of course he is a genius. Outsiders always said that Li Bing was lucky, and that he found such a good wife, he really needed talent and good looks.Every time Li Bing heard these words, he was very happy and very proud. When he got home, he told her about it, and then said: "Whether you are a professor or a master, you still sleep under me at night." She had argued with him several times for saying this, but found it impossible to correct the feudal thoughts in his mind.In Li Bing's mind, when a woman sleeps under him, she submits to her, and he is superior to the woman who sleeps under him, so he is conquering and commanding women in bed.She reckoned that if outsiders hadn't praised his wife so much, if his wife hadn't been able to lift him up high, he would have kicked his wife off. When the train arrived at City Y, Mimi also woke up. The four of them got off the train together, and took the same taxi near the train station. They first sent Wang Liping to the provincial kindergarten teacher, and the family of three returned home. The house seemed much messier than before, and because there was no air conditioner, the room was very hot, so Helen quickly turned on the fan and opened the window to get some air, and then called Li Hong, but no one answered.She really didn't have the energy to cook, and Li Bing didn't bother to cook, and there was no food at home, so the three of them went to a small restaurant downstairs to eat.After dinner, she called Li Hong's house again, but no one answered.Li Bing said that he must have gone back to his hometown, if he was not in Longxi, then he was back in Lijiafan. Helen wanted to go to Longxi by car right away, but Li Bing refused, saying that he had been on the train all night, how could he have the energy to take the car now?If he didn't go, Helen didn't dare to go to Longxi either.If Li Hong was in Lijiafan's hometown, it would be useless for her to go to Longxi alone, because she didn't know how to get from Longxi to Lijiafan, let alone where Li Hong's home was in Lijiafan.She had no choice but to agree to go to Longxi again the next day. She was so tired that she lay on the bed and didn't want to move anymore.Fortunately, Mimi didn't need her company, so she had a good time by herself.When the two of them were shopping in the mall, Mimi took a fancy to a pencil sharpener, which was of the hand-cranked type. It was fixed on the table with a few screws, and a pencil was inserted into the small hole on it. The pen is sharpened.She told Mimi that American schools have this kind of pencil sharpener, which is installed on the door frame of the classroom, and students can sharpen pencils. Mimi was very fascinated by such a school, and liked that kind of pencil sharpener very much. Helen saw the price and bought one for Mimi, which was more than 40 yuan.Now she helps Mimi fix the pencil sharpener on the dining table, so Mimi finds a few pencils and keeps sharpening them, having fun by herself. She lay sleeping in the room she used to live in, and vaguely heard Li Bing on the phone in another room, as if she had made a lot of calls.When she woke up, Li Bing happily told her that he had already invited the guests, and that he would meet her in a restaurant tonight.Although she knew that Li Bing liked to use all kinds of excuses to treat guests to dinner, she was still a little flattered. She didn't expect that Li Bing and her friends took her so seriously. When Li Bing was in Beijing, he said that he was penniless, and now he wanted to treat guests again, so she had to take out 500 U.S. dollars and prepared to exchange them for renminbi.Li Bing actively asked him to change it, and she was indeed tired, so she gave him the money to change it.Li Bing also said that it is better to change more, so as not to have to change again in the future, she hesitated for a while, then took out another five hundred, and confessed: "Don't lose the money, I only have this money, take Mimi back The Beijing visa depends on this money, I am a student, every month-" Li Bing interrupted her financial report and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a child. How could I lose my money? I've changed money many times, and those dollar dealers know me." Li Bing quickly exchanged the money back and stuffed it bulgingly in his back pocket.Helen said: "You don't need to bring so much for your treat today, do you? Put some at home." Li Bing gave her two thousand, put the rest back into his trouser pocket, and said, "It's not safe to leave it at home. Don't worry, I won't lose it. A man's pocket is not big, and he doesn't have the energy to do anything." She forcibly asked for two thousand back and put it in her bag, but Li Bing refused to give her the rest.She thought that besides treating guests today, he would also need money in the future, so she didn't force her anymore, she just told him to put the money away. That meal naturally made her dizzy, there were so many people, and it was noisy. Every time I went out to eat with Li Bing, it was almost like this. No matter whose birthday or celebration, the real protagonists were Li Bing and his wine. friends.They fought, persuaded and quarreled over wine for hours.In this case, if she is urging to leave, everyone will think she is unreasonable, and let's welcome her today.She had no choice but to sit there patiently, listening to others singing karaoke and watching Mimi playing with some children. In the end Mimi fell asleep from sleepiness, and she herself was drowsy too. Thinking that she would have to take a long-distance bus tomorrow, she couldn't care less about whether to accept the wind or not, and to force Li Bing to get off the table. The family of three took a taxi home, and Li Bing fell asleep on the seat as soon as he got in the car, so she had to sit in front with her daughter in her arms.At the door of the house, Li Bing reluctantly got out of the car, and went straight to the railing when he went upstairs.She had no choice but to let Mimi go upstairs by herself, she forced him into the house, spread a mat on the ground, and let him sleep there, and Mimi obediently took a washbasin and placed it next to her father. The next day, she urged Li Bing to get up so that he could take the car to Longxi. Li Bing got up slowly, washed up, changed into a pair of clean pants, and took out the contents of yesterday's pants pocket , Put it in the pocket of the trousers you are wearing today.Seeing that every pocket of his was bulging, she thought it was the money just exchanged yesterday, and was about to persuade him to put the money away, when Li Bing shouted in shock: "My money is gone!" She was also shocked: "What money?" "The money I put in my back pocket yesterday is gone now. It must have fallen into a taxi." She asked angrily, "Did you lose all the four thousand you had there?" Li Bing was troubled, and Helen questioned him for a long time before he murmured, "Not only the four thousand I have here, but also——I took out the two thousand I gave you from your bag—" -"
