Chapter 3 third chapter

After a twenty-hour journey, the train arrived at Jiangzhou, the provincial capital, at five o'clock in the afternoon the next day.With a population of more than five million, Jiangzhou City is an important transportation hub in China, with a large population flow and well-developed commerce. It has been known as the capital of business since ancient times. Xiao Ma has been waiting at the exit for a long time. Song Yikun didn't set off for Yunan directly, but visited someone in Jiangzhou—— Lin Feng's wife.He roughly inquired about Lin Feng's arrest and sentencing, comforted Lin's wife, and left 10,000 yuan in cash before leaving.After doing this, his conscience was relieved a little.

When we arrived in Yunan, it was already past nine o'clock at night. Song Yikun stayed in the Oriental Hotel, and then asked Xiao Ma to drive Fang Ziyun to the hotel, and at the same time sent Geng Yingjie back to the dormitory to rest. The reunion of old friends after a long absence is naturally very cordial, but the meeting between the two seemed a bit dull, they just shook hands with a smile, and didn't even say a word of greeting. Trouble, I will realize it after a long time. This can be regarded as a little gain from being in prison. " "This is convenient for thousands of households. I think there must be a market." Fang Ziyun said excitedly.

Song Yikun shook his head and said: "This alone is not enough to open up the market. We must also consider the health care function of the product itself, and make a fuss about the raw materials. This material should have the following characteristics: 1. It will never grow No rust. Second, there is no metallic smell. Third, it can decompose a variety of essential trace elements in boiling water. That is to say, the raw material is not simple stainless steel, but a compound scientifically prepared from various raw materials. This requires Experts in the relevant industry conduct theoretical and practical research and experiments, and it is still unknown whether it can be established.”

Fang Ziyun imagined: "If this kind of material is developed, there will be more products, and pots, shovels, and spoons can be made." "It's up to you to do the details." Song Yikun said, "I'll give you one year, and I'll give you 100,000 yuan in funding. The car is yours to use, and Xiaoma will be your helper." "I will never use a car." Fang Ziyun waved his hand hastily. Song Yikun said, "You need a transportation expert." "No, no, I can call a taxi when needed." Fang Ziyun vetoed it. "Well, I won't force it." Song Yikun looked at the excited Fang Ziyun, and said what he had considered for a long time: "I propose three principles. The problem is handled well. Second, you can’t cooperate with official scientific research institutions, which will lose the initiative, and the cost will be high. Third, the place of research and experiment must be located in Yunan, which is absolutely under your control, and you must be proficient in using the research results And operation, product patent rights must be yours. I have a suggestion: If the oil field has such talents, you can use their spare time to organize them. Of course, it is better to hire retirees.”

"What about you?" Fang Ziyun asked. "I'll stay in the country for a while, it depends on the situation." Song Yikun said calmly, "You don't have to listen to the wind and rain, and don't rush to answer. This matter can't be as emotional as writing a poem. You should think about it carefully and give it to me tomorrow. reply." "It's not that complicated," Fang Ziyun said, "I just want to ask, in case of failure, what responsibility do I have?" "If I make you responsible, I won't talk to you at all." "Then there's no problem." Fang Ziyun said very seriously, "You trust me, and I'm not a brainless person. I know how to plan carefully, and I don't say anything about suffering."

"The more you talk, the more you digress." Song Yikun shook his head and said thoughtfully, "I'm sure that you are not a competent businessman. Your feelings for poetry cannot be erased with a poor word. One day you regret it, you and I will be embarrassed." "I've considered this issue since Xia Yingjie sent you a message half a year ago. Don't worry, I'm determined to earn money." Fang Ziyun's tone seemed to be swearing. "Give it a try." Song Yikun nodded and said, "Since you don't need the car, I'll take Xiaoma with it. Let Xiaoma accompany you to deposit the money in the bank tomorrow morning, and then you will give this computer to Xia Yingjie will send it, and we will have a meal together at noon, and then I will set off."

"Why do you have to make such a tight schedule?" Fang Ziyun suggested, "It's rare for you to come here. I'll accompany you to the Yellow River beach to hunt hares tomorrow afternoon and relax. I haven't played with guns for a long time." "Or that small-caliber rifle?" Song Yikun asked.He had heard Fang Ziyun show off a long time ago, but he had never seen it before. It is said that he bought it on the black market for 800 yuan.After all, he is a poet, and his tastes and hobbies are always different. Fang Ziyun said: "When you have money, add a scope and it will be perfect."

"I advise you to hand it over as soon as possible. Possession of guns is illegal, so don't make any troubles outweighing the gains." Song Yikun reminded him with a smile. "I'm not going to kill people to steal goods, I'm just adjusting my spare time. Even if I'm found out, the gun will be confiscated and fined two dollars. It's no big deal." Fang Ziyun said a little disappointed, "It's fine if you don't have the taste, and save me." A few bullets." "It's better to be cautious." Song Yikun said.Then he said, "I don't have anything to give you this time..."

Song Yikun pointed to a box and said: "This is a high-end stereo, which was given to me by Ye Hongjun when he was in Austria. It costs more than 10,000 yuan in China. I am not as artistic as you, and I don't need it when I go to the countryside. , I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha to you, and I will carry it when the pony takes you back later." "No," Fang Ziyun said, "it's too expensive, I can't accept it." Song Yikun said: "You are a spiritual aristocrat, and giving you a stereo is a cultural exchange. Between us, there is no need to be stinky and hard?"

"Then, I'll give it a go." Fang Ziyun smiled and asked, "It looks like you're not going to take Xia Yingjie with you?" Song Yikun nodded but didn't speak, he didn't want to talk about this issue.He has no home or job now, and he doesn't even dare to say what will happen in the future.If he brought Xia Yingjie with him, he couldn't imagine what kind of embarrassing situation it would be. Can't bear the sense of responsibility.Government, he dare not accept it. Xia Yingjie was very tired, so he returned to the dormitory and fell on the bed.But she dared not sleep, she still had important things to do, she would not watch Song Yikun walk away from Yunan.

The future is too slim, what she wants is the present. At this moment, her thoughts are no longer on the Yunan Oilfield, but on a female classmate named Jiang Wei in the distant Hainan.She firmly believed that her plan could force Song Yikun to stay, and what she cared about was the whereabouts after she ran away from home. "It seems. It's really going to the ends of the earth." She said to herself. When it was almost twelve o'clock, Lin Ping finally came back. When she saw Xia Yingjie, she showed exaggerated joy and shouted, "Ajie! When did you come back?" "I've been here since nine o'clock, and I've been waiting for you." Xia Yingjie sat up from the bed. "Wait for me?" Lin Ping was a little surprised. "I have something important to ask for your help." "As long as I can do it, I have nothing to say." Lin Ping looked very confident. Xia Yingjie asked Lin Ping to sit down and said, "For the past six months, I have been going out for a few days every month. My family thought I was going out for interviews, and the newspapers thought I was going on a trip or was sick. In fact, I went to Shanghai to see someone every time. .I don't want outsiders to know about this, can you guarantee it?" "If I tell the second person to listen, I'm not human." Lin Ping raised her right hand to warn. Xia Yingjie shook his head and said, "You can only tell one person, and that is my father. And go to his office and tell him the story early tomorrow morning, and it will be none of your business." "It's easy." Lin Ping asked, "What am I talking about?" "According to my words." Xia Yingjie told her, "I went to Shanghai five times in the past six months without telling my family and work. I visited a prisoner in the detention center. He has a wife but has no job. He was released on the 16th. I lived with him for three days, and he came back with me today. I will take care of things here and prepare to run away with him. Let’s just go wandering, because I don’t know where to go. You tell my dad, today I didn't live with you at night, I just went back to the dormitory and changed some clothes before going to the Oriental Hotel and sleeping with him." "You're crazy!" Lin Ping's eyes widened in surprise, and she said instinctively, "You can't hide this kind of thing, but you..." "You can tell me what you want." Geng Yingjie added calmly, "Tell my dad that you have been persuading me for the past few months, but I can't listen, so you have to betray me. Remember, you have to be alone. Talk to my dad, without any third party present." "Are you really crazy?" Lin Ping still couldn't believe it. "If you don't understand now, you will understand later." Xia Yingjie said as he pulled the quilt away and lay down. She was too sleepy. "Ajie, does he really have a wife?" Lin Ping wanted to inquire. "We'll talk about it tomorrow. I really can't hold on anymore." Xia Yingjie answered with difficulty, closed his eyes and fell asleep. "Unbelievable." Lin Ping muttered softly. After resting overnight, Xia Yingjie's spirit improved a lot. In the morning, she stepped into the newspaper office building and looked at the attendance appraisal form in the aisle for a while, and found that she had the most small black flags behind her name and the lowest score.She laughed at herself and walked away, but instead of going to the office, she went to a nearby hardware store, bought a sharp knife and put it in her purse. When I returned to the newspaper office, I met Lin Ping at the stairs. Lin Ping lowered her voice nervously and said, "I saw your father." "How is it?" Xia Yingjie asked hurriedly. "The face turned black, and then turned white again. He will come to you soon." Xia Yingjie took out 30 yuan and handed it to Lin Ping, saying, "Pay attention in the office. You will take a taxi to my house in one hour from the time my father and I leave the newspaper office. Remember, I didn't ask you to go." of." "I can handle this well." Lin Ping pushed the money away, and asked worriedly, "Ajie, are you safe?" "It's okay." Xia Yingjie smiled deliberately and relaxed, and said, "Thank you for helping me so much, I will remember." "Okay then, I'm going to work." Lin Ping walked away suspiciously. According to Song Yikun's arrangement, Xia Yingjie should stay in the dormitory and wait for Xiao Ma to deliver the computer and disk, and then have lunch together.But now she puts all that in the back of her mind, and she has her own arrangements: by surprise, by surprise. She knew what was going to happen, and could even imagine her father's terrible expression after being provoked.In fact, she was very nervous, and all she showed was superficial calm. She needed her father to feel her determination and unshakability from her calm expression, so that he would acquiesce in her choice.She felt that she was already a gambler. She bet her life, future, and reputation on this gamble, winning and losing. She walked into the office to say hello to her colleagues, then sat at her desk and picked up a newspaper while staring out the window.Sure enough, a Volga car drove into the compound of the newspaper office. She was very familiar with that car. It was her father who got out of the car—a scholarly intellectual in his fifties. At this moment, his face was gloomy, His eyes were filled with suppressed anger. Geng Yingjie hurried downstairs, and when he saw his father, he smiled sweetly and said, "Dad, why are you here? I saw it right away from upstairs." "Come to see you." The father said coldly, "Get in the car, your mother is waiting for you at home right now." Xia Yingjie pretended to be dazed, and obediently got into the car. Because the driver was present, the father didn't say a word, and the only sound in the car was the "rustling" sound of the tires rubbing against the road. The Xia family lives on the second floor, with an area of ​​more than 70 square meters. There are not many furniture but they are very particular.As soon as Xia Yingjie entered, he saw his mother sitting in the living room wiping tears, while his father closed both doors. Xia Yingjie knew why and asked, "Mom, what's the matter with you?" "You did something shameful, why do you still have the face to ask!" The father, uncharacteristically gentle, pointed at his daughter's face and shouted angrily. Xia Yingjie was stunned for a while, and squeezed out two words: "Lin Ping?" With a glimmer of hope, the mother asked, "Is everything Lin Ping said true?" "It's true." Xia Yingjie replied in a low voice. The furious father waved his hand to hit his daughter in the face, but he froze in the air after halfway through the movement. The doting of more than 20 years made him reluctant to hit his daughter even at this moment.He lowered his hands weakly, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, but the cigarette was trembling between his fingers. Xia Yingjie burst into tears.In the eyes of her parents, she is a princess and a jewel in the palm of her hand.She really hoped that her father's hand would hit her face instead of resting in the air, as long as it could make her father's heart feel better.She wanted to say something to her father, but she couldn't find a language that both parties could accept. "Your father's old face has been completely lost to you!" the mother said with tears, and her tone contained deep disappointment. After a moment of silence, my father said sadly: "You were born in a knowledgeable family, you have received higher education, and you are a reporter. We don't need to talk about the principles of self-esteem and self-love. It is because we believe in your autonomy that we never ask your questions. Work and personal affairs. You have indeed done a good job in the past few years, but why did this happen?" "I didn't take a penny from him, I used all my own money, and he will soon be poor." Xia Yingjie said bluntly. The father sighed and said: "Let's not pursue what has happened. The important thing is that in the future, there is still time to brake. You understand the truth, Ajie, express your attitude in front of your mother." Xia Yingjie replied with silence instead. The father was about to explode, but tried his best to suppress it, and said, "Okay, take a step back. I don't comment on that person's identity, and I don't object to your choice, but you must stop interacting with him until he divorces. You both You can't be a third party to interfere with other people's marriage, let alone run away with him and commit bigamy. Law and morality must be discussed, right?" Xia Yingjie stood still, but pulled the leather bag strap on his shoulder inward.Her silence suddenly filled the air with the smell of gunpowder. "Are you saying that you have to give up everything to be that man's concubine?" My father questioned again with veins on his forehead.Xia Yingjie remained silent. My father was desperate. After a terrible depression, he suddenly grabbed the teacup like an angry lion and threw it at the TV. The cup exploded into pieces and the TV screen burst.Obviously he couldn't control himself anymore, he waved his hand and slapped himself in the face in desperation, while gritting his teeth, he said, "I didn't raise my daughter well, I'm guilty, guilty..." The mother hurried forward and grabbed her husband's hands, then turned her head and shouted to her daughter, "Ajie, are you going to piss your dad off?" Xia Yingjie showed an unbelievable composure at this moment. She wiped away her tears and quietly walked into her bedroom, closing the door gently.Then, there was an extremely depressed and extremely painful moan in the room, followed by another dull sound.Like something fell to the ground. The mother's wide, terrified eyes froze, as if realizing what had happened.Suddenly she yelled and rushed to her daughter's bedroom like crazy. At this moment, Xia Yingjie fell sideways on the ground, with a sharp knife stuck in his abdomen, and his whole body convulsed and convulsed due to the severe pain.The hands holding the handle of the knife were already stained red with blood, and the red blood began to flow down the clothes to the ground. Mother's legs were weak and she almost passed out.But she is an experienced surgeon after all. She cried and said to her husband, "Get the first-aid kit, quick!" The father was stunned by the sudden blow, and he was at a loss. He said instinctively and incoherently: "Send it to the hospital, hurry to the hospital. Call for a taxi, no, you should call an ambulance..." The mother got angry and yelled sharply, "I said get the first-aid kit quickly." Only then did the father react. The husband and wife were in a mess as if they had encountered a landslide. The husband brought water and delivered things, and the wife quickly checked the knife edge and gave first aid.When the one-inch-wide and six-inch-long knife was pulled out of the body, it was covered with blood, and my mother felt that it was more painful than piercing her body, and her heart was about to break.Father's hands were also stained with blood, and he muttered nervously: "This girl is possessed, this girl is possessed..." The mother wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve, and said to herself in horror, "Oh my god, it's hopeless if it's a centimeter away." My father was so anxious that he broke out in sweat, and said, "I still need to send it to the hospital for insurance, what are you waiting for?" The mother realized that the matter was serious, and said: "If this kind of thing gets out, how will you let her live? How will you live the rest of your life? I can't stand it if the child has a child. I think this girl is determined. If a person really wants to die, no one can watch her. Now I guess she is not in danger, but can you watch her forever?" "Just make up your mind, you're a doctor." Father had no idea, his hands trembling and clutching the hem of his clothes. The mother pondered and said, "She needs blood transfusion, surgery and nursing care. I can do all of these. What can I do later? What should I do in the future? Let that man know about it. Let's hear what he has to say." "What do people think when you take things from the hospital?" my father asked. "I have a solution," my mother said, "The most important thing now is to keep it secret. If you ask Ajie for leave at the newspaper office, just say that there is something to do in my hometown and she needs to go back..." Just halfway through the conversation, the doorbell rang.Father hurriedly said: "Don't open the door, don't let people in." Father wanted to send the visitor away, but he didn't expect that it was Lin Ping, so he opened the door. When Lin Ping entered the room, she was shocked. Song Yikun had been waiting for Xia Yingjie. At this moment, he was chatting with Fang Ziyun in the living room. He looked relaxed and calm while talking and laughing, but he was restless inside. His mind was completely occupied by a different premonition. Xia Yingjie didn't wait in the dormitory at the agreed time, and it was already lunch time but she still couldn't be seen. This phenomenon was extremely abnormal.If there is no special reason, she will not miss the appointment. This can only explain one problem: something happened. The situation is unknown, and there are many possibilities, but he has to consider from the most passive aspect, and what he feels most strongly is: if it is no secret that Xia Yingjie's repeated trips to Shanghai are no longer a secret, then he is very likely to be affected by Xia Yingjie's family or Harassment by suitors. If the judgment is true, Fang Ziyun must not be involved - this was his first reaction.He said to Fang Ziyun: "Ziyun, I think you and Xiao Ma should go eat first, and find another restaurant. I'll stay here. We have something to talk about when she comes. Maybe we won't leave today. Let Xiao Ma send you back to the club directly after dinner, and I will call you." This reason made it inconvenient for Fang Ziyun to ask more questions, so he agreed. Song Yikun stood by the window and watched the car go away, so he went downstairs to the main service desk to store the suitcase containing the money in case of accidents.Then he went back to the room. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. The person who came was a beautiful young lady in casual clothes. With a nervous expression, she stood at the door and introduced herself, "My name is Lin Ping, and I'm Ajie's friend. Are you Song Yikun?" Song Yikun nodded to invite her in, and asked, "Where's Ajie?" Before sitting down, Lin Ping said in horror: "Ajie committed suicide!" Song Yikun's head suddenly swelled with a "boom", and it hurt, as if all the blood was rushing to the top of his head.Although he had a premonition, the seriousness of the situation was unexpected to him.He tried his best to stabilize his emotions and warned himself: Always be calm when facing major events.Be calm, be calm. "Blood, it's full of blood!" Lin Ping said in horror, "The TV was smashed, everything was smashed, and Ajie's house was in a bad state. Ajie stabbed his stomach with a knife, and blood was everywhere on his clothes and the ground." "Let's talk about people first, how are people doing?" Song Yikun reminded her in time. "Another centimeter would have saved her. Fortunately, her mother was rescued by a doctor in time." Lin Ping was still in shock, and continued, "She needs surgery and blood transfusion now, so don't wait for her anymore. address, she will find you later." Song Yikun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did she commit suicide?" "She wanted to run away with you, but the family didn't agree, so a quarrel broke out. Now her parents have given in and agreed that she can go anywhere after she recovers from her injuries, as long as she doesn't commit suicide and can save her life." I see. Song Yikun calmed down.As long as a person is alive, any other problem is of little importance and will have a chance of being solved.The incident came so suddenly that he was caught off guard. After all, he had been in Yunan for less than fifteen hours, and Xia Yingjie disrupted his well-thought-out plan overnight, just like a carefully arranged chess game was suddenly thrown away. Standing in front of the window and thinking, he asked himself: Is this an accidental accident?He shook his head, dismissing the possibility immediately.Xia Yingjie is a smart person. She should know how to grasp the rhythm and timing, so as to avoid causing troubles prematurely and avoiding meaningless troubles when the conditions are not yet ripe.Yet the bloodshed has taken place, which means that its meaning should be interpreted otherwise.Judging from the time, method and location of the incident, this is a premeditated and step-by-step action.This method is very traditional but very clever. The cleverness lies in: I ignite the fire here, creating an irreversible inertia and situation, forcing you to make a logical decision there, which not only quells family resistance, but also achieves In order to keep people, kill two birds with one stone. Song Yikun was moved and annoyed at the same time, thinking: how can I, an ordinary person, bear such a generous gift from you?This is what makes me difficult to be a human being.At present, we are in the waiting stage. Blindly engaging in large-scale actions cannot be established in terms of time, financial resources and opportunities. Only stability is the best policy.What should we do now?Taking her with him constituted the crime of bigamy, and in order to avoid violating the criminal law, he must first break off the engagement with Deng Wenying. In this way, he would lose his little financial resources, and the situation would be very unfavorable to him. "It's out of order, totally out of order." He turned around as if talking to himself, or to Lin Ping. It might be difficult for him to understand Xia Yingjie's desire for affection and his need for equality. He felt that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and turned into a mess.However, this situation was exactly what Xia Yingjie expected, and it was completely in line with her rules.What she wants are people, who are at the same starting point of existence with each other, and feelings without any impurities. After calm thinking, Song Yikun realized that he had no choice but to parry according to Xia Yingjie's rules.A woman can love you to the point of sacrificing her life, what else can she talk about?Not to mention wandering the world and relying on each other for life, even the fire pit is worth jumping for.Thinking of this, he took out a pen and paper and sat down at the desk to write a letter to Xia Yingjie—— Miss Xia: I couldn't adapt to your style of play for a while, and I was overwhelmed by such a generous gift, so I simply lay down and waited.Obviously, you have pre-determined the procedures and results, and I will follow the steps step by step, so you don't need to come and join me.Immediately I will apply for a certificate of emancipation, and pay the price required for my freedom. Now that my advice has lost its authority, it is necessary to change the positions of you and me. To borrow a sentence that women often say: I am your man now.Yunan is already an embarrassing place and I cannot stay for long, and I will return home shamelessly when I am in a state of desperation. I will contact you immediately after finishing the Jiangzhou affairs, and ask you to solve the problem of eating for me. Song Yikun November 20, 1992 The letter is called "Miss", and there is no lack of anger and resentment between the lines. After all, human life is at stake, but it does not hinder the essence of the letter.In any case, he was moved by the truth and gave in. This is the most important thing. He handed the letter to Lin Ping and asked, "How can I contact her in the future?" Lin Ping handed him a note and said: "Ajie asked me to give it to you. It is her pager number on it. She will call you. This will prevent you and her family from having unpleasant conversations on the phone." Ajie told you to leave Yunan immediately, her brother doesn't know about it yet, and he is afraid that he will come to trouble you after he finds out." "That's the only way to go." Song Yikun said helplessly. Lin Ping said goodbye and went back to work. He was the only one in the room, he let out a long breath to relieve the chest that blocked the door, lay down on the bed exhausted, took out the contact record from his pocket, and checked the mobile phone number Deng Wenying used in Beijing.Then he reached out and put the phone on the bedside table on his chest, and started to contact Deng Wenying. To dissolve the marriage, both he and Deng Wenying must meet in Jiangzhou. Song Yikun failed to continue his trip to his hometown according to the original route, but was forced to return to Jiangzhou.Rather than retreating, it would be more accurate to say fleeing, at least he thought so. The sudden change of the situation forced him to reassess the situation he was facing. However, the most urgent thing that worried him most was not himself, nor Xia Yingjie, but the driver Ma Zhiguo.In his mind the pony was just a child.He knew he might be in for a rough, turbulent life, but it was clearly not for a child, and the pony was "turbulent" enough. Although Xiao Ma returned to Jiangzhou with him, he didn't know what happened.They live in a very ordinary small hotel in Jiangzhou, and even Xiao Ma can feel that the situation is not good. Two days later, Deng Wenying arrived at the gate of Jiangzhou Museum on time at the place designated by Song Yikun. Here is a square, open and quiet.It's just that the northwest wind is blowing, the trees are shaking, and the dead leaves all over the ground are blown by the wind to make a desolate sound. The two cars stopped less than ten meters away from each other, and they both walked a few steps forward after getting off the car.Deng Wenying's hair was blown loose by the cold wind, she frowned and asked, "How did you choose such a place?" "It's quiet here, I didn't expect the wind to blow up." Song Yikun said. Deng Wenying glanced around and said: "I know you don't like places like coffee shops. There is a western restaurant nearby and we can go to shelter from the wind. According to the old habit, I'll treat guests, and you can accompany me." This western restaurant is very spacious, covered with a big red carpet, and there are many colorful oil paintings hanging on the walls. All the furnishings have a strong western style, and the waitresses are all Russian girls.The lighting here is soft, the environment is elegant and comfortable, and it is indeed a good place for conversation. But Song Yikun's situation no longer allowed him to consume like this. After choosing a table to sit down, Deng Wenying ordered food and drinks, and the waitress quickly served them all.Song Yikun took a sip of beer, and said straight to the point: "You know my situation, including the car, the total is 500,000 yuan. I collected 50,000 yuan in interest in Shanghai, and after deducting some favors and necessary expenses, I have about 10,000 yuan left. Six thousand yuan is not included. Now we will talk about five hundred thousand yuan. " Deng Wenying was in a bad mood, she just drank without touching the food in front of her, and said, "I remember you said two things, one is that divorce cannot be changed, and the other is that immediate divorce is not realistic. You are just afraid that the funds will be broken up and affect the entire investment strength, but you changed your mind as soon as you got out of prison, I think Miss Xia probably made trouble for you." Song Yikun slowly turned the beer glass in front of him, and asked, "Why do you see that?" "They are all women, so they always know a little bit about the basic tricks." Deng Wenying said with a sneer, "On the surface, it seems that she helped me and got me the funds I needed. But what you gave me was only what the Marriage Law stipulated. This time, but you have to give her a lifetime. This comparison shows her intelligence and foresight." "I need freedom now, but freedom is in your hands." Song Yikun said. "A woman can only show some authority at this moment." Deng Wenying shook her head mockingly, and said, "According to the law, you and I each share 250,000 yuan. I asked for your share to be given to me for one year. Now I make a concession and leave you 100,000 for living expenses. I will pay you 150,000 in one year and we will settle the matter. You won’t be able to calculate the interest with me if you are married. If you agree to this plan, we will pay you tomorrow Just go through the divorce proceedings." "I agree." Song Yikun nodded, and then said, "I have an issue outside the agreement that I would like to discuss with you, that is, the future of the driver Xiaoma." Deng Wenying asked: "How did you plan to arrange him?" Song Yikun said: "It's been less than a year since Xiao Ma got his full driver's license, and he needs to exercise. These are his basic survival skills. In addition, I intend to let him learn a few specialties, such as cooking and computer typing, which are very important for him. Independence will help in the future. But not now, I even have trouble getting him basic board and lodging." "You still have one hundred thousand yuan, why not?" "I lent the money to Fang Ziyun. The poet's life is difficult. He wants to start a business to make money, use business to support literature, and curve to save poetry." "Since the situation has changed, you can explain the situation to him and get the money back." "I can't take back the money lent to others. I can't do this kind of back-and-forth." Song Yikun was not impatient, "I didn't ask you, but discussed it with you. It's not good for growth. If you don't agree, I won't force it." "I didn't say that it doesn't matter. Since I want to run a company, I have to employ people, so I won't add him. At least he can drive me." Deng Wenying expressed her attitude, and then asked: "Listen to your tone, you don't plan to take him with you in the future, do you?" Song Yikun nodded, pondered for a while and said: "Those people around me are too smart. I am not a fuel-efficient lamp myself. Pony is not well-educated, has little social experience, and is very simple. I am worried that it will destroy him if he is together with a cunning person, he can't handle that kind of dangerous environment at all, the only possibility is to be assimilated." "Wang Hai once said that doing business with Brother Kun is more exciting than robbing a bank. So I can understand your concern about Xiao Ma." After Deng Wenying finished speaking, she added, "So I'm a good person." "I never said that you are a bad person, and I never said that I am a good person." Song Yikun said seriously, "We are two crossing straight lines, destined to intersect at one point, and also destined to go our separate ways. traces of." "At this point, who is sorry for whom?" Deng Wenying seemed to seek justice. "There is no such problem." Song Yikun said, "The union between you and me was originally a misunderstanding. From my side, one is lack of self-knowledge, and the other is lack of experience. From your side, your family and background make you I have a natural sense of superiority and belong to the aristocratic class, which determines your expectations of me. I am a person struggling at the bottom of society, and I endure a lot of contempt, so I especially hope to be respected, but you can't do this. To use Marx's theory to explain, this is the nature of class." The two broke up again, but the problem was solved. Xiao Ma has been waiting at the entrance of the hotel. He leans on the steering wheel and thinks about his thoughts. All signs indicate that something happened to his elder brother, and it may affect his life.This made him very disturbed, but he never asked, he was used to silence. When Song Yikun came out of the restaurant, he unconventionally sat in the front row when he got in the car, which meant that he had something important to say to Xiao Ma.After the car started, he said to Xiao Ma: "From tomorrow onwards, this car will belong to Mr. Deng. You will drive this car with her tomorrow, and go to Beijing in a few days. From now on, your work and life will be arranged by her. Big Brother Something happened here, and I can't take care of you right now. Maybe my situation will be bad, and you have to be mentally prepared. " "Brother..." Xiao Ma was about to say something, but was stopped by Song Yikun's gesture. "Don't say anything, I know what you're going to say." Song Yikun was very sad, he lit ten cigarettes and smoked silently for a while, and then said: "If you follow me, you won't be able to help, but it will cause more trouble and affect you. Yourself. You are not the kind of person who gambles with your life, nor should you gamble with your life. You should live a normal life. I will not let you go. Once conditions permit, I will help you do some independent business. Man You have to fight the world by yourself, think about the worst, and work hard for the best." "Brother, I remember." Pony said heavily. "How much money have you saved in the past few years?" Song Yikun asked. "More than four thousand yuan. I took it out before leaving Shanghai and hid it in the car." Xiao Ma replied. Song Yikun said: "I have prepared five thousand yuan for you, and you take it with you. If I can't make a comeback, you will have to rely on yourself, so don't touch the money unless it is absolutely necessary. It is for your life." Tears kept rolling in Xiao Ma's eyes. Xia Yingjie almost lost her life, but finally completed the most decisive stroke in her life. When she got Song Yikun's letter, she couldn't help laughing when she saw the sentence "Please solve my meal problem". However, since she talked with Song Yikun on the phone, her smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by guilt, sadness and anxiety.Song Yikun paid a heavy price for her: the original plan was disrupted, the investment fund was lost, the car was gone, even the pony had to leave him, and he lived alone in this cold season. Waiting in Jiangzhou, no one cares about him or takes care of him.Thinking of these things, she couldn't help but want to cry, she wished she could step over to his side and share the wind and rain with him, relying on each other for life.At this time, the future and the future are not important at all. The word "love" occupies her whole body and mind, and there is no room for anything else. 夏家的事情是关在屋内发生的，没有在外界引起任何传言，一切都像往常一样平静。但是夏英杰却无法保持平静，她的焦急只有她自己最能体会。这些天她因刀伤在身不便出门，于是打电话便成了她惟一的工作，她已经决定落脚海南，正由她父亲代她办理调离手续。 夏英杰选择海南是出于三个方面的考虑：一是远离家庭避免人们说三道四，二是政策开放适合有才干的人生存，三是有朋友接应减少盲目性。江薇是她北大读书时的同班同学，毕业后一直在海口工作，几年中她们也一直保持通信来往。 夏英杰的父母在玉南油田都有一定的活动能力，帮女儿办调动不算难事，不到一星期就把所需要的手续办好了。 其它准备工作也在有序地进行：她委托江薇预租房子，联系工作。她让宋一坤按地址把电脑和两箱书籍提前托运海口。她征得父亲同意，把家里为她将来扮嫁妆的一万元钱支取了。拿到档案后，她立即电话通知宋一坤订购机票，随后确定了离家日期。 十一月二十八日凌晨四点，夏英杰就要离开家了，因为飞机是上午九点从江州机场起飞，她还要赶三个多小时的路程，她和宋一坤将在机场会合，父亲历来反对用公车办私事，这一次却破例了。她的全部行李只有两只箱子，包括衣物、药品和少量的书。因她刀伤尚未痊愈，所以由林萍同车护送。 叮嘱的话母亲已经说过无数遍了，临别时只有酸楚的眼泪。 父亲近日一直少言寡语，只是到了临别的最后一刻才把心里的话道出来。他抚摸着女儿的头发沉重地说：“爸舍不得你走，可事到如今也只能由你去了。早点来信别让你妈挂念，境况不好也别硬撑，家里的门随时为你开着。记住，如果让我知道了你在外面日子不好过，你就是躲到天边我也得把你找回来，家里没人笑话你。” 就这样，夏英杰含着热泪离开了玉南油田。 伏尔加开着大灯行驶在夜幕里，林萍故意让司机把录音机打开，为的是干扰他的听力，便于她们谈话。林萍的心情与夏英杰截然不同，她觉得更英杰是往火坑里跳，最终很可能毁掉前程。 如果让她选择，她决不会选择宋一坤这种人。 车子行驶近三个小时，天已亮了，眼看离江州越来越近。林萍觉得应该规劝夏英杰几句。她尽量压低声音说：“阿杰，你马上要走了，我想说几句话留给你以后参考，如果我不说憋着又难受。” “既然憋着难受，那还是说出来好。”夏英杰笑着说。 林萍说：“宋一坤比你大十岁，坐过牢离过婚，没钱没地位，连起码的谋生职业都没有，更别说房子了，就是论学历他也不如你，为这种人死去活来的，值吗？女人青春很短，哪个不是趁着有姿色早为自己做打算？等人老珠黄，一切都晚了。我的意思是千万别一条道走到黑，看着不行就早点回头。” 夏英杰并不生气，反而感激林萍的友情。她说：“判断一个人不能只看表面，衡量一个人的才干也不能单凭学历。感情这东西就更复杂了，很难用简单的推理说清楚，各有所求嘛。你的心情我理解，我会保重的。” 夏英杰此时的心情非常复杂，胸口像堵了块石头那样沉闷而焦躁。自作主张槁这么大行动，她有生以来还是第一次，原有的格局全被她打乱了，尤其是冲击了宋一坤的生活，如果他因此丧失了发展机会，进而跌入低谷无力回天，那她夏英杰无疑成了罪人。 这种负荷是何等沉重。 到达江州机场的停车广场，夏英杰顾不得伤痛，更顾不得取行李，下了车就往候机大厅奔跑。宋一坤透过玻璃也看到了远远跑来的她，便出门接应。他穿得太单薄了，寒风扑面而来把他的风衣掀起，顿时打了个冷颤。 夏英杰人还未到，泪水已经涌出了眼眶，她忍着伤痛不顾一切地奔过去，将宋一坤拦腰紧紧抱住，竟激动得说不出一句话。 那是一种什么心情呢？爱怜、愧疚、幸福、难过……她平生初次与一个男人的身体贴得这样紧，自己竟全然不知，仿佛他们已经相识很久很久了。 宋一坤历来以沉稳见长，此刻也乱了章法。公共场所男女抱在一起成何体统？他觉得有无数双眼都在看着他，寒风之中竟也冒出了虚汗，心想：这倒是治感冒的好办法。 林萍既对宋一坤没有好感，也不愿妨碍他们亲热，行李送进大厅后她告辞了，只是临别前再三嘱咐夏英杰：到了海南一定要来信。 候机厅里，夏英杰向宋一坤介绍了玉南和海口的情况，然后指着一只箱子笑着说：“嫁妆钱和档案都在里面；无论如何我都不能再回玉南工作，从现在起我就是你的人了。” 宋一坤在江州一个星期，这使他有足够的时间审视残局，他冷静分析了自己面临的形势，认真研究了每一个问题、每一种可能性，本着生存与发展兼顾的原则，在脑海里对今后的策略做出了通盘考虑。但他现在还不能讲，他需要了解海口的实际情况，进而修正和补充自己的思路。 他没有沿续她的话题，而是感叹地说：“我万幸的就是你还活着。否则我连补救的机会都没有，这辈子怎么打发？” 夏英杰心里顿时涌起一股暖流。 宋一坤望着夏英杰，心里在想：短短半年里她五次往返上海，即便节省开支也需不少费用，现在又带来一万元，这对普通的工薪阶层来说几乎就是天文数字了，而这其中所包含的感情又何止金钱可以计算，她把能够付出的一切都付出了，包括生命。 夏英杰问：“想什么呢？” 宋一坤摇摇头，说：“我在想，生气归生气，可一个男人活到这分儿上，该知足了。” 他觉得心底有一团火，在凝聚、在升腾。
