Chapter 7 (six)

Zhao Jue still lived with her widow and aunt.She went to answer the phone and came back. Enjuan heard her talking on the phone and said with a smile: "You can speak Shanghainese." "I met a Shanghainese in Beijing, and I was embarrassed to say that I couldn't speak Shanghai dialect, so I had to. I probably knew how to speak it, but I was embarrassed to suddenly speak Shanghai dialect." When mentioning the Beishang Dan Gang, Enjuan said, "It's not easy for you. You have to take care of your own life when you are alone." A compliment that was neither salty nor weak was clearly very dissatisfied with her.She smiled and said nothing.

The child climbed onto the edge of the sofa, and Eun-joon went to carry him to sit against a pile of cushions. Zhao Jue smiled and said, "I'm completely medieval romantic about Cui Xiangyi. There are many things about him that I don't even want to know." Enjuan also asked casually: "Has he ever been married?" "I was married in Korea." After a pause, he laughed again: "I don't think relationships should have a purpose, and they don't necessarily have to have results." Enjuan smiled and said, "You are very researched." As she spoke, her aunt came in, and both parties were relieved.

After talking for a while, Enjuan "I still have something to do, I have to go elsewhere." Leave the child here first. Zhao Jue put him on the bed, covered with a bed cover.He crawled back and forth, and soon he was on the edge of the bed.She went to move him to the inner bed, and then climbed out of bed again.She moved him back again.It weighed at least ten or twenty pounds, and she couldn't move it around. She collapsed and held on to one of his ankles.He couldn't move and began to cry.Her aunt was taking a nap, and she was afraid of waking her up, remembering that a black cloth was put over the birdcage, and the bird would calm down and stop singing, so she spread out a newspaper and put it on his back.He cried more and more, but at least he stopped crawling.

She quickly closed the door, leaned on the door and looked at him, feeling like Snow White's stepmother. When Enjuan came back, she told her to cover him with the newspaper, but Enjuan didn't make a sound, she didn't think it was ridiculous. Zhao Jue hurriedly said, "It's loosely covered on the back, it's not airtight." Enjuan still didn't smile, picked up the child and said, "I'm going back, how about we go together? It's the same old place. Bian's family lives in an apartment in Hongkou, and our place is bigger." Of course you should go see Bian.

The two took a tricycle to Enjuan's mother's house.In the main house on the first floor and the ground floor, her younger siblings are listening to pop records downstairs.Her father has been living elsewhere. She took Zhao Jue upstairs, and Bian came in from the small balcony, the house was small, making him look taller.He didn't look like the one in the photo at all, probably because of his aquiline nose and chin, the frontal photo couldn't capture him, and he didn't grin at the moment.Group photos may be prone to illusions, and it may happen that there are tall men next to him, as if he is also of medium stature.He still has black-rimmed glasses, slightly dark brown hair, and is already a little bald in front—many Westerners are "less bald"—but the whole thing gives people a sense of weight and weight, and it is absolutely impossible to see that he brushes his teeth Read detective stories.

After shaking hands, Bian suddenly asked, "What is intellectual passion?" Zhao Jue smiled, unable to answer for a while.That was what she wrote in her letter when they first got married.She just made up this English term because of his high forehead and wearing glasses. In her opinion, Eunjuan is not beautiful or sexy. Of course, their love is also "reasonable passion", so she invented this English term. So far, she has not thought of this term. insulting. Enjuan was obviously afraid that she would not be able to get off the stage, so she hurriedly stopped with a soft smile, "Ai", and then gave him a wink.

He was so aggressive, Zhao Jue just felt jealous, presumably Enjuan often mentioned her. They are going abroad soon, and of course there are many things to take care of.She just sat down for a while, and let them talk softly about themselves. Back home, I talked to her aunt. Her aunt saw Enjuan at her house before, and she praised her like her mother. Now she shook her head and laughed, "I can't bear this teenage complacency!" Zhao Jue smiled, feeling very surprised.She thought it was her own jealousy. They never saw each other again, nor did they correspond.It wasn't until after the Communist Party came that Zhao Jue went to Enjuan's father and asked for her address before leaving the mainland.

It was the same prosthetic shop, and the windows were the same displays.Her father is also not old, but fatter and bald, like a flower monk "fat and bald". They are also married. Bian’s family left earlier.” The address given to her was a university in the northwest, I don’t know if she was teaching. Zhao Jue left the mainland to write a letter, inquiring about going to the United States.Enjuan was very conscientious and distant in replying to the letter. Zhao Jue did not look for her when he came to the United States.Bian was studying for a Ph.D. at that university, so Enjuan was the only one working at that time.

After this communication, Zhao Jue wrote another letter to Enjuan after ten or twenty years.One of the reasons is that I happen to live in this cultural capital, and it is a building dedicated to lecturers and academicians, which is more or less noble.Xuanwang has returned to the mainland, and she has to move when the lease here expires.If Tuo Enjuan is looking for trouble, it's better to take advantage of this decent address now. ——Xuan Wang probably felt that it would be more honorable to "return" from this place.She refused to go back with him, and of course he couldn't leave her without any money.However, he still has a large family in Taiwan who depend on him to support him, and all his savings have been used for settling expenses.Although her current life is not a problem, don't wait until the end of the mountain, let alone look for others.When she and Xuanwang separated, she was in Washington DC. She didn't have any money, no degree and couldn't find a job. At that time, she also knew that Enjuan was also in Washington DC, so she never looked for her.
