Chapter 16 Thirteen, romance has an end

This year seems to be an unfavorable year, and the marriage will be separated, even a couple like Miss Hengheng and Mr. Jieshi will not be spared. Miss Hengheng and Mr. Jieshi have never quarreled. Ms. Heng Heng is versatile, but introverted and quiet by nature. Some of the neighbors in the small courtyard have never even spoken to her.Only when Mr. Jieshi came, she seemed more lively and whispered some gossip.They are all romantic people. On a moonlit night, they even sat by the lake with their flutes all night.When Ms. Hengheng was painting, Mr. Jieshi would watch quietly by the side. Sometimes Ms. Hengheng raised her head, and they would look at each other and smile. The atmosphere made me feel warm.

Although Mr. Jieshi is handsome, he has always been gentle and courteous to Miss Heng Heng, at most he would only hold her hand in front of others. Sometimes I think that the so-called "respect each other as guests" is probably what they are like. But if there was no unhappiness between them at all, that's not the case.I only saw it once. That day, Mr. Jieshi flipped through the books on Ms. Hengheng's desk, and suddenly said, "In order to write a historical novel, I have to read Dunhuang Bianwen. Isn't it a bit of a fuss?" Ms. Hengheng said: "I just want to see how people in the Tang Dynasty talk. I write stories about the Tang Dynasty, but I can't let them talk about the dialogue?"

Mr. Jieshi said: "Historical novels are very difficult to become popular, and I'm afraid it's not worth the effort. Besides, readers nowadays don't know what to read. As long as the stories are lively and interesting, postmodernist dialogues are fine." Miss Hengheng smiled and shook her head, "I don't like that." Under normal circumstances, if the two of them disagree on a certain point of view, it's okay to laugh at each other, but this time Jieshi-kun seems to want to finish talking. He said: "I mean, it's too time-consuming for you to do this. Although we are still young, if we don't seize the past few years, it will be difficult to change when the overall situation is set."

Ms. Heng Heng said: "Anyway, I'm free after get off work. If I don't use this time for writing, I probably just play around." Jieshi-kun said: "So I want to discuss with you, can you take the exam for graduate students in the Chinese Department? You can archaeological documents or ancient literature, and your foundation has already surpassed the level of those graduate students." Miss Hengheng said in embarrassment: "But you know, I hardly know English. Besides, I'm really not good at exams..." Mr. Jieshi said: "I have thought about all these. However, the topics of the postgraduate entrance examination are completely different from those of the middle school examination, and there is room for you to develop freely. Moreover, the Sangu major has the most relaxed foreign language requirements. If the tutor appreciates it, there is even hope of exception admission. .”

After a pause, he said again: "I know you won't misunderstand me. I never care about academic qualifications. A really smart girl doesn't need academic qualifications to decorate herself. However, if you are a fresh graduate student, there will be more in front of you immediately." Lots of opportunities." Miss Hengheng thought for a while, then shook her head firmly. Mr. Jieshi was a little anxious, "Then are you willing to be a proofreader for the rest of your life? How can you be so self-motivated?" Miss Heng Heng was stunned for a long while before she said, "Everyone has a different way of making progress."

Mr. Jieshi shook his head annoyedly, "You are too naive, society is not what you think." After that little quarrel, Mr. Jieshi and Ms. Hengheng quickly reconciled, or in other words, they didn't fall out at all.However, Mr. Jieshi was busy taking the civil service exam and preparing his graduation thesis, so the number of appearances in the big willow tree courtyard became less and less.When I heard the news of their breakup, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Jieshi-kun for a month or two. The breakup was proposed by Mr. Jieshi. In fact, it has been more than a day or two since a younger junior sister with a lot of family background has been flirting with him.

When it is difficult to refuse, it is not only because the benefits are big enough, but also because you just need it. Miss Zhaodi looked sad, and took Miss Hengheng's hand, eagerly expressing her regret. Instead, Miss Hengheng comforted her, "We are getting along and breaking up, and I am willing to break up, too. Don't worry about me." Miss Zhaodi said: "I really didn't expect him to... I have always respected him, he is so disappointing." Ms. Hengheng smiled faintly, "The good wind sent me to Qingyun by virtue of its strength. Maybe boys have some ambitions, let alone he is so good. Moreover, it is really not easy for him..."

She asked Miss Zhaodi: "Do you still remember? Once you said that Jieshi grew up in the northwest, but it looks like Jiangnan." Miss Zhaodi probably forgot about it a long time ago, so she nodded in confusion. Miss Heng Heng said: "Actually, he is indeed half from Jiangnan... He doesn't want to mention this, and I only found out after being with him for a long time that I am actually half of his fellow countryman." Jieshi Jun's father came from a family of intellectuals. After graduating from the history department of the university, he went to a county in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains and married his mother there.His mother was an authentic Shaanxi girl who was a primary school teacher in the village at that time.

Mr. Jieshi also has a younger sister who is eight years younger than him.When his sister was only three years old, his father was finally transferred back to the metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River, and he left by himself.Later, his father went back again, intending to take Mr. Jieshi away, but not his mother and sister. It is said that this was the intention of his grandparents.Mr. Jieshi did not go with his father. Miss Hengheng said: "He had a big fight with his father. His father said that if you stay here, it is hard to go to university, but he said that you just watch, even if I go to the sky, I can also go to the sky." In the end, not only did he get admitted to the university, but he was even admitted to a P university. On the day the ranking was released, the village chief personally beat the gongs and drums, and people from ten miles and eight villages came to see him, saying that Wenqu stars had descended to earth, and that the number one scholar came out of the valley..."

Jieshi Jun's mother is a private teacher with a meager income, but she is ingenious and good at needlework, so she also does some tailoring work to subsidize the family.Every year before the New Year, Mr. Jieshi's house is full of clothing materials for the adults and dolls in the village, and his mother is lying on the sewing machine day and night, so that her back hurts.Even so, my mother never forgets to sew a new set of trousers for Mr. Jieshi and his sister every Spring Festival. Ms. Hengheng said: "He loves his mother very much. He once said that he must let his mother live a good life and let his sister have a good future. He wanted to pursue an official career. He joined the party when he was in college and became the chairman of the student union. He makes friends with many people, plans to take the civil service exam, and arranges it step by step. Thinking about it this way, he seems scary. But he also has a very innocent side. He likes poetry, and from time to time, he will send some nostalgic feelings, and his nature yearns for a romantic and free life.

"One summer, we went to their Tangluo Road. It was an ancient plank road leading from Guanzhong to Hanzhong. It was desolate and beautiful. Those mountain-shaped trees probably looked like that from the time of the Three Kingdoms. My growth The fans of the Three Kingdoms in Jiangnan were excited at first, but then a feeling of loneliness came to my heart, and it became more and more intense. I vaguely felt that the young people who grew up here, the desire to soar into the sky, I am afraid Far beyond my imagination." She also said: "In fact, he is very tired from life, and he is almost strict with himself, which makes people feel a little heartbroken. He really needs someone to help him. I can't help him. It is a good thing that someone is willing to help him. After all, I hope He gets what he wants." Miss Zhaodi listened carefully, but at this moment she raised a question, "Since he could choose to stay with his mother back then, why must he give up your relationship now?" Miss Heng Heng shook her head and said: "I used to think the same way, thinking that he would not take his feelings into his plan, so I have been slow... I have figured it out these days, after all, I am different from his mother Yes... Moreover, the situation has changed, and the problems he faces can no longer be solved by one person's desperate efforts. More importantly, he himself has also changed..." "But you..." Miss Heng Heng smiled, "I also have my own thoughts. He and I no longer have the same heart, so we can only part ways. Although this is very sad, it will pass slowly. Don't worry." Miss Zhaodi lowered her head listlessly, "The world is impermanent..." Miss Hengheng went back to the south. She came here for love, and when love left, she didn't want to stay longer. Miss Hengheng kept the day lily, saying that Ah Jiu liked to look at it, and she wanted to take Young Master Xiaobai away, but when she saw Young Master Xiaobai close to my side, she hesitated for a while and decided to give up. She bought us a case of goodies and I finally saw her tear up as she hugged us goodbye. Looking at her thin back, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.I think that I will probably never see Miss Hengheng again in this life. The day after Ms. Hengheng left, I saw Mr. Jieshi, whom I had not seen for a long time. He sat motionless in the empty room, looking extremely lonely. Miss Zhaodi tiptoed behind him, "That... Heng Heng said, if you come here, I will give you this letter. She also said, I hope you... don't blame yourself." Jieshi-kun turned his head in astonishment, as if he had been burned by that letter. He blushed suddenly, and said with a sneer, "She is always so smart, she can predict everything, and she can tolerate everything... Do you think that I should feel ashamed and regretful now, and immediately chase to the south?" Miss Zhaodi was so frightened that she was speechless. Mr. Jieshi seemed to immediately regret his loss of control. He wanted to say something, but finally he walked out silently without saying anything. Since then, I have never seen Jieshi-kun again.
