Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

It's Chinese New Year, it's Chinese New Year, Luo Yueli looked at the wall, feeling depressed and bored.During the Chinese New Year, Guangdong is still lively. The factories will be on holiday for a few days. The streets and alleys are filled with freshly dressed young people, feeling very relaxed, but no matter what, there is no atmosphere of hometown. After the past, it becomes deserted, and after the happiness, it becomes melancholy.During the Chinese New Year, the catchphrase when fellow villagers, colleagues and friends meet is: Where to go to celebrate the New Year?For migrant workers, the place to celebrate the New Year is the most important thing, what to eat and play is not important.

Hua Wanfang came to Fu'an Building, bought her a color TV in order to let her watch the Spring Festival Gala, and then returned to Taiwan.Luo Yueli took a few days off and planned to look for a job next year.Hua Wanfang is far and near, elusive, sometimes it feels like the care of friends, sometimes it feels like a lover.No matter from which angle, Hua Wanfang's little care was enough to shake Luo Yueli's heart, and slowly, a tacit understanding was established.It's rare for someone to be so nice. Luo Yueli thought back to the four-eyed man in Shenzhen, it didn't matter if she didn't have money, and she blamed herself for not earning money.Hua Wanfang called her from Taiwan to greet her, saying that he had just got off the plane, and Luo Yueli was inexplicably moved.Why don't you spend the New Year with me in Dongguan? She said this inadvertently, and it was a bit coquettish.Putting down the phone, she felt her face was hot, why did she talk to him like this.

On the morning of February 6, Luo Xiangyang called and asked her to go over for the New Year's Eve dinner.This is necessary every year. It is a family reunion in Guangdong. For Luo Yueli, it is now a task.My brother's rented house was full of people.After the New Year's Eve dinner, those who watched TV watched TV, and those who played poker played poker.She was sitting bored, and suddenly thought of an important person, that is Ma Dongdong, where did he celebrate the New Year?After saying hello to her brother, she went to the ceramics factory to find Ma Dongdong.However, she was disappointed. Ma Dongdong had left his job years ago, and the security guard who knew her would not lie to her.Looking at the vast night sky, listening to the fireworks one after another, wandering people, where would they put their stars?

Pedestrians are in a hurry, only tonight, they must all have their own destination.She walked back to Fu'an Building, except waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala and fireworks, this year, she was disappointed and had no fun.On the first day of the new year, after the sound of firecrackers, she had nothing to do except make two phone calls to her parents and elder brother and sister-in-law to pay New Year's greetings, and she slept all day long.Lost contact with Ma Dongdong, her feelings lost their fetters, like a kite with a broken string floating in the sky of a foreign land.She was disappointed and suffocated, she loved Ma Dongdong, since the moment she met him, he was her Prince Charming, why did she delay getting to know each other?Is this God's will, is everything God's will?Why didn't Ma Dongdong come to her? If he loved her, he would definitely come to 411 to find her. But if he didn't, then he doesn't like her?

A sad new year, a lonely first year.Emotionally, Luo Yueli has no way out, there is only one man in her life, and he is Hua Wanfang. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Wanfang flew back from Taiwan in time to have dinner with her.This meal was not outside, it was cooked by myself in a rental house, it was suggested by Luo Yueli, she wanted to show off her cooking skills. Hua Wanfang also worked with her, making hot pot by himself, the two of them drank together, got himself drunk, and the two of them lay on the bed with their clothes on.Hua Wanfang was snoring, while reciting Luo Yueli's name, calling her name, until she heard the drunken heart, heard the heartbroken, love and dependence flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't help lying beside him, becoming the man in his arms. deer in.

Luo Yueli became Hua Wanfang's woman, and it was logical that all life had just begun, and everything went on as usual.Hua Wanfang slept until 9:30 every day, went to the factory, and returned to the rental house at night.Luo Yueli sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day. When she wakes up, she goes shopping in the market and looks for a job as usual. Aihao started work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.Luo Yueli received a call from Yang Xiaoli about Lan Hong. After the new year, Lan Hong came back with two braids, her face rosy, and a spring-like smile.As soon as Lan Hong came to work, she submitted her resignation letter, saying that she would go to work in Guangzhou.

Oh, really ran with that Guangzhou guy, Luo Yueli was not surprised, but suspicious. She said she was going there to work, not to get married, Yang Xiaoli said in blue and red. Oh? !Lan Hong also used this sentence to tell Luo Yueli.At noon that day, I came to Fu'an Building to say goodbye to Luo Yueli, and it was Hua Wanfang who opened the door.Lan Hong was surprised, it really was—Mr. Hua, hehe!In fact, the last time Lan Hong came to Fu'an Building, she guessed eighty-nine points in her heart, and she pretended it on purpose.Hua Wanfang invites Lan Hong to come in and sit down, and praises her that after a year, she is really fat and beautiful, but women in love are different.

Luo Yueli poked her head out from the kitchen, this girl is really fat and pale.Really want to go, I thought Yang Xiaoli lied to me, please tell me how you feel. Two women were whispering in the kitchen. He works in a company, his parents both have pensions, and he is the only son, but the house is not big, with only two bedrooms and one living room. Ha, don't you want to sleep with him then? Why do you keep thinking about this? I haven't finished talking yet. What to say, cohabitation is cohabitation, the book says this is the era of cohabitation, I like him, love him. When did you think so hard?It's a pity that women only have one time for the first time, and they can only be dedicated to one person. At the beginning, I was the one who thought so. Now I regret it very much, but I can't say a more suitable reason.

Lan Hong was stunned, with her mouth raised, "Can't you give him love?"Anyway, I have identified him in this life. The key is has he recognized you?Are his parents nice to you?Is the future secure? It's not too bad, during the Chinese New Year, it's his mother who cooks, and I'm not allowed to do it. The two old people are happy. Don't talk about this, you can figure it out yourself, you are lucky. How about 411 now, three of the four golden flowers have gone. You recruited a Sichuan girl for that position, she was very hot, and she quarreled with me as soon as she came to pick up materials. Also, that Ajie really stole my shampoo, so narrow-minded, the 411 now is no better than before The 411, everyone does their own thing, everyone plays their own way, there is no atmosphere at all.

You bully the newcomer. Sichuan girls come back very late every night, take a shower in the middle of the night, and dress up every day, which I can't understand.I heard that they did that, and I was very scared to live together. Be patient, she does hers and you live yours. At the beginning, Huang Caixia's boyfriend lived in our dormitory every day, and he fell asleep as usual. Of the four golden flowers, three are gone, and Yang Xiaoli doesn't want to stay anymore, and is looking for a job to change jobs. Come when you should come, leave when you should, and part-time work is not the case.

Lan Hong had to go back to the factory after lunch.Luo Yueli sent her downstairs, and Lan Hong asked Luo Yueli to call her when she came to Guangzhou. Ye Nanlin had a home in Guangzhou.There was a sense of superiority and pride in her words, that she had a family and a house. The sisters in 411 gradually saw less, and their respective lives gradually faded out of their sight. The next day, Ye Nanlin really took Lan Hong to Guangzhou and lived with his parents.The house they live in is a family dormitory of an old state-owned enterprise, close to Zhongshan Eighth Road, the building is very old, and the anti-theft net is already rusty. A dark, thin, short dwarf.Ye Nanlin's family lives on the fifth floor of the second unit. The sixth and seventh floors of this unit have been rented out to foreigners. The owner has built a new building and moved out. Some foreigners often come in and out. There are a lot of briquettes piled up in the stairwells of the third and fourth floors.Lan Hong didn't feel that the upstairs was dirty, as if she had returned to her hometown county, she felt a long-lost intimacy in her heart.In the days of wandering, the feeling of going home is hard to buy.She doesn't plan to go to work right away. She wants to go to college at her own expense to enrich herself and get a college diploma so that she can find a job better.Ye Nanlin not only supported her, but also withdrew 10,000 yuan from the bank to pay the first tuition for her.Ye Nanlin used his motorcycle to send Lan Hong to class at 8:00 every morning, and picked her up on time at 5:30 in the afternoon, rain or shine.The warmth and romance that Lanhong wanted was easily obtained.She finally has a home in Guangzhou. Every time she goes upstairs or upstairs, she feels an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart.Saying goodbye to wandering, every step of her is filled with happiness and warmth, and she lives a real city life like a bird.From Ximenkou to Zhongshan 8th Road, the daily traffic flow and every alley are familiar, familiar and friendly.She told Ye Nanlin that when she finished school, got a diploma and found a job, she would bring her parents from her hometown to live in Guangzhou for a while, and let them see life in the big city.Ye Nanlin nodded blindly and said yes. Whether she fell in love with Guangzhou and only fell in love with Ye Nanlin, or whether she fell in love with Ye Nanlin and only fell in love with Guangzhou, I couldn't make it clear, and I didn't want to make it clear.She nestled in Ye Nanlin's arms, looking at the sparkling water of the Pearl River, intoxicated, looking forward to the bright future. Soon, she found out that she was pregnant, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried.Yes or no, Ye Nanlin didn't make a statement.Lan Hong thought that Ye Nanlin was already 35 years old, so he should have a child, but she was still studying and had to struggle for a few more years, so she didn't care if she didn't have children.Lan Hong told Ye Nanlin her thoughts, Ye Nanlin was reasonable, fully supported her study, and agreed to abort the child.Aborting the child, Lan Hong only rested for two days in order not to delay her studies.Ye Nanlin stayed at home for two days without going out, cooking black chicken soup for Lan Hong, cooking and taking care of her. At the beginning of the second semester, the living standard of the Ye family dropped significantly. What used to be a lot of fish and meat has now become a clear soup and light rice.Ye Nanlin's mother also began to chatter about things, sometimes saying that she didn't work, and sometimes complaining that Ye Nanlin was worthless.One day, Lan Hong was doing homework in the house with the door closed, and heard in the living room that her father-in-law was furious at Ye Nanlin, scolding him for being unfilial, you get out, don't come back if you have the ability, marry a foreign woman, and have food and drink by guarding every day Are you wearing it?He used vernacular, and he could understand almost all of the blue and red.Ye Nanlin also yelled a few words at his father, starting from a heavy start, and gradually became wilted.Ye Nanlin bowed his head and returned to the bedroom, his face was blue and purple. Alin, what's the matter with parents?Did I cost you a lot of money to go to school?Lan Hong asked puzzledly. Ye Nanlin lit a cigarette, it's nothing, you read your book, I didn't get paid and asked my dad for some money to make up for you. Ye Nanlin loves her so much, loves her so much, she has no reason not to understand him, I'm not afraid if life is close, I will buy it after you get paid, why ask the old man for money.No, I'll explain it to them.As Lan Hong said, she was about to get up and open the door, but Ye Nanlin stopped her, what are you doing, they are in the middle of a fire, we will talk about it another day.Not to mention, their misunderstanding has deepened, Lan Hong is in a hurry.What's the rush, you? !Ye Nanlin stopped her loudly for the first time. Why are you killing me?ah? !Being wronged for the first time, Lan Hong's eyes were wet. Let me put it this way, you can say that I am fierce, you are too young, Ye Nanlin stifled the cigarette in the ashtray of the dressing table, and slammed the door away. The iron gate outside slammed, and the two old men chased after him and cursed. What's the matter with this family?For Lan Hong who is still in love, it seems that this difficult scripture came too soon.She plunged into the bed and cried bitterly, and slept all night with her head covered, but Ye Nanlin didn't come back. Facing all this sudden situation, she couldn't accept it.She reflected on herself, how much can they eat for their family without going to work for half a year, and his family can't survive, don't they have money in Guangzhou?The mother-in-law babbled in the living room, talking about the family's expenses, asking for money here and there. The next day, Ye Nanlin's mother didn't knock on the door to ask her to have breakfast as usual.Lan Hong felt extremely hungry, and opened the door to look for food. Her parents-in-law were not at home. After drinking a bowl of porridge, she felt retched and felt pregnant again. After two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Nanlin came back in a daze.Lan Hong told him aggrievedly about her pregnancy.Ye Nanlin's face was ugly this time, as if he didn't hear, he buried his head into the bedroom.Lan Hong said it a second time, but he still didn't say a word.Lan Hong is angry, did you hear that, you are still a man, you?Next, Lan Hong made a sad face and said a lot.Ye Nanlin got up from the bed, we are not married yet, don't you still have to study and go to work, then hit it.Lan Hong saw that Ye Nanlin didn't take it seriously at all. She couldn't figure out why Ye Nanlin didn't take children seriously. Don't men value children? You're 35, don't you want a baby?I want to keep the baby. Then keep it to yourself, don't look for me, I'm annoying. Have you made a mistake, the child is yours, what do you take him for? Lan Hong was dizzy with anger. She didn't expect that after only a few days of good life, the face of this family completely changed.Thinking back and forth about the loving time in the past six months, life will really turn upside down, and it will change as soon as it changes.She wanted to wait for Ye Nanlin to calm down before talking to him about the child, but Ye Nanlin didn't want a child at all. She beat the child in a fit of anger.After being discharged from the hospital, Lan Hong's spirit was much worse this time, her red lips paled and her face was pale.Back home, Ye Nanlin asked nonchalantly, did you really hit me?Lan Hong is weak, isn't it you who want to fight yourself, why ask me.It seemed that Ye Nanlin regretted it, and lay down on the bed, expressing his resentment in silence. Lan Hong ignored him, and if he didn't come to apologize, he ignored him.For several days in a row, the two slept in their own place, ate their own food, and no one bothered to care about the other.When Lan Hong was doing her makeup, she found that she was a lot haggard. Why did she suddenly look old and her complexion was dry? She was only 21 years old, and she panicked. The mother-in-law chatted endlessly in the living room.Having been in love with Ye Nanlin for less than a year, everything has turned so bad, Lan Hong is very upset, and coupled with the awkwardness with Ye Nanlin, she is even more disappointed.She asked the school for a few days off and didn't say hello to Ye Nanlin. She wanted to go to Dongguan and find Luo Yueli and Yang Xiaoli, maybe she would feel better.She wanted to separate for a while, let Ye Nanlin think about this family, let the Ye family think about it too. Lan Hong got in touch with them, picked up a few clothes, and went to Liuhua Station to get on the bus in Dongguan.Luo Yueli picked her up at the H town station.The sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are guessing about each other's changes.Lan Hong surprised Luo Yueli a lot. Don't you know me?Has your vision changed? It's only been more than half a year, and I know you when you turned into ashes, isn't your face wrong?What's the matter with you?Turned into this appearance, yellow and thin, sick? It's nothing, it's natural, it's one year older. Looking again and again, Luo Yueli felt distressed secretly, alas, beauty Leng, come here, give me the bag. I take it by myself, it’s okay, many people grab the bag here. Luo Yueli raised her hand to hail a taxi and returned to Fu'an Building. Luo Yueli peeled an apple and gave it to Lan Hong, eat an apple to calm down, eat more fruits, it is good for the skin, today is just right, I have an appointment with Yang Xiaoli, now I will call Huang Caixia, and invite her to come over, we sisters get together get together. Huang Caixia is here?Where is she? In Dongguan, when I came to Guangdong, I lived here for two days, and now I am divorcing Zheng Yong. That's it, just getting married and then getting divorced, alas. After dialing several times, Huang Caixia couldn't be reached in the end. Yang Xiaoli moved to Chixia Industrial Zone three months ago. Sanli is only five kilometers away from the city, and she is still working as an assistant to the general manager. I know that industrial zone, Lan Hong said, there is a big welcome sign just beside the national highway. They are all earning more than 1,000 yuan now, and they are living in style. Luo Yueli said, what about you, it’s been half a year, and I’m just coming to see you. I want to see you. I don’t know if Ye Nanlin’s family welcomes you. Oh, I’m wrong. , should be your family. I have nothing to do except go to class every day. He has only one son in his family. This time, come with me to Guangzhou and play with me for a few days. Where do you let me sleep, I can't sleep in the living room for the first time. We sleep together, Ye Nanlin sleeps in the living room. Don't make things difficult for him, his family treats you well, right? It's okay, it's okay, but I didn't expect that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really as difficult to get along with as the book says. After a while, Yang Xiaoli came with her orange satchel on her shoulder and a bag of fruit in her right hand. To laugh or not, to cry or not, Lan Hong? ! Luo Yueli went up to meet her and went shopping. You thought she was visiting relatives. Be careful next time I will throw you out. Hey, it's unreasonable for you not to let me eat after I gave you a gift. Hehe, everyone laughed. Wow, I said Lan Hong, you are the one who has changed the most among the three of us. Marrying a boss in Guangdong makes things different. Lan Hong smiled wryly. If you want to say that I am ugly, just say it. I caught a cold a few days ago, and the study tasks are heavy and tiring. I heard that men in Guangdong never take care of housework, don't they?If you look at the rural areas of Dongguan, women are the only ones picking manure and spreading fertilizer. That is the industriousness of Cantonese women. To marry a Cantonese, of course you have to do as the Romans do. How about your family, Lan Hong? Don't ask me, I haven't married yet, you will know when you marry a Cantonese. It's getting late, cooking, mobilizing, and revisiting the old dream of room 411 today, Huang Caixia was absent again, this person is unreasonable. Next time we see her, the three of us must give her a good meal. Yang Xiaoli cooks black-bone chicken soup. The level of black-bone chicken soup she cooks is rising step by step. It is neither thick nor light. When it is simmered slowly, the chicken will be rotten and fragrant. She does not eat chicken, but only drinks chicken soup.What Luo Yueli is best at is the steamed Fushou fish. Break open the fish, fill the stomach with ginger and garlic, and put green onions one by one under the plate. The steamed fish meat is tender, smooth, crispy and delicious.Lan Hong had been cooking for a while, but the fried dishes did not suit her mother-in-law's taste. After only one meal, her mother-in-law left her alone and never let her interfere in the cooking. This is also good, stretch out your hand when you come to clothes, open your mouth when you have food, Lan Hong is so happy. The women chatted and ate. Whose bb machine beeped, and each of them looked through it. It was Yang Xiaoli's, a Chinese machine, and it could display more than 20 characters.Lan Hong stopped the bowls and chopsticks, and played with them in her hands. It was quite convenient to use and saved the need to reset the machine.Luo Yueli urged Lanhong to buy one, and Lanhong wanted to buy one, but the monthly fee was 40 yuan, and the machine cost 800 yuan, so she could only look at the machine and sigh, touching the fuselage with a sad face. Then let Ye Nanlin buy one for you, people in Guangzhou have plenty of money. You always get it wrong, I don’t think he is rich, I buy it myself if I have money, I don’t care about his money, blue and red are anxious. Yeah?When did you come to Henan dialect, you probably learned it from Huang Caixia.
