Chapter 6 Chapter Six

In the evening, Danqing lay down and watched TV programs as usual. My uncle in Canada called and asked Danqing for various documents related to his studies. Danqing took a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one. "Send it at the express delivery company tomorrow morning." He instructed Danqing. Danqing agreed one by one. After finishing his official business, the uncle asked, "How is your father?" Danqing smiled wryly. "Still the same?" "It hasn't changed at all." The uncle sighed, "Honestly, how do you feel about studying abroad?"

Danqing answered honestly: "This is my duty, and I must fulfill it." The uncle couldn't help but laugh, "Your father will spend more than 500,000 yuan in the next four years, but you are not happy." "Sorry." "It's too difficult to please, and my three children have the same attitude. They said that if they had a choice, they would not go to university and would rather farm." Dan Qing smiled, "This is a bad inheritance, it's in the blood." "Danqing, if there is no accident, see you in mid-September, you will like it here, your cousin has already asked you what size you wear, and asked you to bring more fashion."

"Thank you, uncle, and thank them too." "Hope you're doing your job well." My uncle has always been more upright than his father, and he is an elder respected by Danqing. That night, Danqing went to bed very late, and her mother never came back. Waking up early in the morning and seeing my mother standing in front of the window smoking and taking off her make-up, I must be full of emotion and unable to fall asleep. "Mother." Ge Xiaojia turned her head, tears streaming down her face. Dan Qing was taken aback, but immediately saw that it was tears of joy.

It feels even more desolate.What a big event, it's just a dance and a meal, and I'm so moved that I have nowhere to put my internal organs, which shows what kind of hard life I live on weekdays. Danqing put his hand on his mother's shoulder. The mother and daughter sat down. Ge Xiaojia took a deep breath, her voice was a little trembling, and she said: "Girls your age, everyone is the protagonist, playing the role of a little princess." Danqing didn't understand, but she listened patiently and listened patiently. Her mother must have meant something when she said this.

"As I grow old, I can't live up to my expectations and become one of the choir's insignificant extras." "Mother." "Tonight, I feel like a protagonist again, and I can't help feeling sad, Danqing, you don't blame your mother for making a fool of yourself, do you?" It was only at this time that Danqing realized how lonely and sad her mother was these days. She couldn't help it, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Look what gift I got." Danqing took the small flower paper box and opened it. It was a crystal glass perfume bottle.

"It's not expensive," Ge Xiaojia explained, "but it shows concern." It's hard to win a battle if you care so much. Even seventeen-year-old Danqing understands the truth, of course Ge Xiaojia knows it very well, but it's a pity that he can't help it. Danqing said: "As long as you feel happy, everything is worth it." Ge Xiaojia nodded. "Perhaps you would like to introduce him to me." "It's not the time yet." Ge Xiaojia said with a smile. She hadn't fallen asleep after breakfast, she just lay on the sofa and read the newspaper.

Danqing went out to post a letter, and when she came back, she received a call from Juanzi. "Danqing, come here and see Mrs. Ai for the last time, we will wait for you." Danqing rushed out again immediately. On the way, I kept thinking that Aunt Juanzi's tone was so calm just now, as if inviting everyone to go on a picnic. Adults have experienced many things, become more and more numb, and become calm, but the feelings of little girls are different. Qiao Lishan stood at the door waiting for her. "Where's auntie?" "They all went to the hospital."

"What are we waiting for?" "Danqing, come here, have a cup of hot tea, let me tell you." Danqing immediately understood that she was one step late. She went into the store, poured herself a glass of ice water, raised her head and drank it all, holding the empty glass silently. "She went very peacefully," Qiao Lishan said, "as if she was asleep, with a smile on her lips." Danqing glanced at him, but said nothing. The seat where the old lady used to sit was by the window, and she was listening to the two young men telling her life story with a dazed smile.

"She has something for you." Dan Qing raised his eyes. "She gave it to me after you left yesterday." "What is it?" "She said you'd like it." Qiao Lishan handed an envelope to Danqing, Danqing opened it, inside was an antique watch, 70% new, with an original platinum strap, the watch was only the size of a fingernail, with a circle of small diamonds set on the round surface. Danqing has always wanted to find a watch like this, and Mrs. Ai knew what she wanted. "She wants you to take it." Danqing put the watch on his wrist. "I have to go to the hospital to help out."

"Can I help?" "Don't bother you, Master and I will take care of everything." He opened the door and left. Only then did Danqing realize that the shirt was soaked and stuck to his back, feeling uncomfortable. She pulled the blouse from her waist and loosened it. It's useless to be sad, the old lady Ai has passed away. Danqing took out the papaya and milk from the refrigerator, put them in a blender and crushed them. She has no eyes because of her brain disease, but she felt that someone was staring at her from behind, so she turned around abruptly, empty and empty.

Danqing knew that she was on guard against Hu Shizhen, and she was the only one left in the shop, so she was afraid that he would suddenly appear behind her. She paused and drank the papaya milk, feeling much more comfortable. Danqing hopes that she can like Hu Shizhen more, but it is not difficult, at least she and he love Juanzi deeply, and Juanzi loves them both. But Juanzi is not enough as a bridge, and Danqing can't let go of his vigilance. She didn't know if he was upstairs, and hoped that he was not there, and hoped that he would accompany Juanzi to the hospital. It's a pity that things backfired, and Hu Shizhen came back sweating and pushing his bicycle. Danqing immediately picked up the handbag and said to him, "I will return the shop to you." Hu Shizhen said: "Wait." "What's the matter?" "Maybe we should talk while your aunt is away." "I have something to do." "Danqing, you have been avoiding me. When you look at me, your eyes emit a poisonous light, which is enough to kill ten or eight old Hus. You don't like me. Why, is it because I did something wrong or said something wrong Talk?" Dan Qing didn't make a sound. "It's so unfair to crucify me because of your naivety and unfounded instincts." Danqing sat down, resting his legs and wrapping his arms. "Half of this summer is left, don't waste it, okay? Work hard and live in peace with me." He could really talk, and my mother was right. "No matter how much you hate me, it's really not easy to meet again after this summer vacation." He is right. "You've always been so jealous? It's been hard for your little boyfriends." Danqing stared at him, "It doesn't mean I'm jealous if I don't want to talk to you." The doorbell rang, "Is anyone there?" Danqing raised her head, "Xiaoyou," she was surprised, "you have been discharged from the hospital." "Yes," Gu Ziyou walked in, "the first thing I did was to see you." Danqing looked at her, "You still need to rest." "I'm completely cured." Gu Ziyou pointed to his head and then to his chest. She was a little embarrassed when she saw Hu Shizhen. Danqing didn't want to introduce them, but just said: "It's really hot, everyone is sweating." After all, Hu is an adult, he said generously, "My name is Hu Shizhen." "Gu Liberty." They shook hands. "Why don't the two ladies sit down and let me serve you a cup of coffee?" Before Danqing could object, Gu Youyou had already pulled away the chair. She asked Danqing in a low voice, "Mr. Hu is the shop owner?" Danqing didn't want to say more, "No." "Danqing, thank you again and again." "Xiaoyu, why are you being polite?" Gu Ziyou let out a breath. Hu Shizhen brought coffee and retreated to the back hall to let them chat with the girls. Gu Youyou said: "Xiao Lin came to see me, but I have no feeling." "There are plenty of good boys out there." "Enough is enough. I don't want to meet the opposite sex before the age of forty. Once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of ropes all my life." "Freedom, you speak too soon." "Danqing, I really envy you. You are born with wisdom. Unlike me, you have to suffer big losses and be fooled before you can learn to be good." Danqing comforted her, "It's a very common thing, forget about it, don't mention it again." "I've moved out." "Fine, start over." Gu Ziyou smiled, took a sip of coffee, "Hey, there's wine in it." Danqing took a sniff, sure enough, the aroma was tangy, all unpleasant things, life and death, gain and loss, all melted into the coffee cup, Danqing thought with emotion, what would never pass. Danqing and Zizi walk to the highway station in the sunset, and Zizi tells Danqing about his life experience. Only then does Danqing know that Liberty is a fashion model, Lin Jiankang is a photographer, and Hong Tongtong is Liberty's best friend. It can be said to be one of the most common stories between men and women, and it happens to you, me, and him at any time. It doesn't matter, one day, Gu Ziyou will meet someone who is really suitable for her, and that person will say, look, my Xi Shi. Danqing got out of the car before her. When I got home, I found that the three protagonists in the triangle relationship were all sitting in the living room, her mother, her father, and Ms. Zhou Nannan. It was strange, how could they meet at home, Danqing wanted to go deeper, so he forgave them, it was better than in the coffee shop of a big hotel. The three confronted each other silently, like a prelude to a storm, with dark clouds and thunder rumbling. Danqing sighed, "Do you want me to go out and watch a movie?" Ge Xiaojia said, "Danqing, come here and sit beside me." Danqing pulled a chair, sat behind her, and put his hands on her shoulders to show support. Such a simple gesture was already very combative. When Danqing's small face was calm, he already had a mature aura. Ruan Zhidong sat opposite and looked over, only to feel that the faces of the mother and daughter were printed like a print, and when he met Ge Xiaojia, she was young. Ruan Zhidong was filled with emotion. One wrong step after another, and the whole family is involved in the whirlpool. He wiped his face with his hands, "If you have anything to say today, let's make it clear." Ge Xiaojia said, "Let me talk first." "Okay, please tell me." "Miss Zhou, don't involve me in your entanglement with Ruan Zhidong. He and I can no longer be friends. We have already become strangers. From then on, we have nothing to do with each other when we marry each other." Zhou Nannan also spoke, "But you have been pestering him." Ge Xiaojia replied: "This is Ruan Danqing, his biological daughter. I believe he did not hide it from you. Danqing has the right to see her father. Why do you interfere?" Danqing said: "If it's about tuition fees—" "No," Ruan Zhidong interrupted his daughter, "it has nothing to do with tuition fees." Danqing felt a dull pain in his left temple, his gastric juice was rushing, and his palms were sweating. Ge Xiaojia ordered to chase away the guests: "Miss Zhou, please take Ruan Zhidong away, the house is too shallow and too narrow to accommodate so many people." Zhou Nannan said angrily, "You don't care about his life at all." Ge Xiaojia raised his head and smiled, "You are so right, why should I care about his life?" Zhou Nannan was stunned. This socialite, after proving her own charm, realized that the spoils of war were an extremely ordinary selfish man and his mess. Of course Ge Xiaojia guessed what was on her mind, "If you think it's worthless, you can shake him off." There was infinite teasing in his tone. After speaking, stand up and see off the guests. Ruan Zhidong said to Zhou Nannan disheartened, "I'm on a different path from you, I'll go back to the hotel." With a backhand, Zhou Nannan slapped Ruan Zhidong. The gesture was skillful, so it was not the first time he had been slapped. Danqing couldn't bear it, and pushed Zhou Nannan away, "Why did you hit him?" Ruan Zhidong waved his hand, "Let her go." Danqing refused, "You can't do it in front of me. If you insult my father, you will insult me." Zhou Nannan screamed, "You insult me!" Danqing took a step forward, "You bring shame upon yourself." Zhou Nannan trembled, "I understand," she murmured, "I understand." She opened the door and ran downstairs. Ge Xiaojia pointed at Ruan Zhidong, "You, let me go too." Ruan Zhidong wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and finally went out without saying a word. Only then did Danqing collapse on the sofa exhausted, "What's going on?" "Sorry to involve you, but I really need your help, Danqing, you have always been better than me." "Mom, that's not a compliment." "Your father came to the door and asked to get back together." Danqing's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at her mother longingly. Ge Xiaojia understood her daughter's wishes and said apologetically, "Impossible." Dan Qing lowered his head. "Zhou Nannan followed and asked your father to express his position. It seems that she is sincere." Danqing admitted, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't come here to make a fool of myself." Ge Xiaojia waved his hand, "This good show has come to an end." "Where did father go?" "Snakes have their way, rats have their way." "You don't care anymore." "Danqing, it's too late for me to care about myself and you." "Father is a fool." Danqing cursed. "Really?" Ge Xiaojia was more objective, "How did you see him when he was flamboyant and happy?" Danqing turned the antique watch in his hand, but did not answer. "Ah, Haiming is looking for you. What he means is that if we don't see each other in a day, it will be like three autumns." Saturday. When Danqing returned to work, the first thing he did was to pour a cup of coffee and put it on the seat where old lady Ai usually sat. Strange to say, within half an hour, Ai Lao came, as if he had heard a call. Still calm, he shook hands with Danqing, "I'm here to say goodbye." He said, "Where's your aunt Juanzi?" "Where are you going?" Danqing was surprised. "I went abroad to live with my children." "We will miss you." "me too." Juanzi came down, heard Ai Lao's words, and held his hands tightly without saying a word. Elder Ai turned his head, saw the coffee cup on the empty table, stared at it for a long time, his eyes were surprisingly gentle, and said, "We have spent many happy days here." Juanzi replied softly, "It's our honor." "I'm leaving, they're waiting for me upstairs." Juanzi sent the old gentleman out. After a long time, Danqing went to put away the cup of coffee. Danqing asked her aunt, "Where's Lao Hu?" She didn't see him all day. Juanzi smiled, "Do you care about him?" "never." "He decided to settle here?" "I didn't ask," Juanzi replied, "he is a man with no direction and cannot predict." "Not a word of promise?" Danqing wondered. "Everyone is an adult, why use such a trick." Juanzi smiled. "I thought you were going to get married soon." "A child is a child after all, and his mind is full of white wedding dresses." Juanzi teased. "Who said a pearl gray dress would suit you too." Juanzi reached out and pinched Danqing's cheek, "You must look good in white satin." "I don't want to get married." Juanzi looked at her, "Suddenly angry." "I was scared out of my wits." "The world is not without successful marriages." "Auntie, please demonstrate." Juanzi just laughed. That day, Danqing didn't see Hu Shizhen, so of course she wouldn't miss him. She was waiting for Qiao Lishan.His wife passed away, and his master moved. It was not worth it whether he would come again, Danqing was inevitably sad. Just before closing time, Juanzi answered a strange phone call, "Who? What, where are you now, this city, are you home? It's too unexpected, she is here, I'll call her," Juanzi called, "Danqing, you phone, guess who it is." Danqing took the microphone: "Who?" "Song Wenpei." Dan Qing opened his eyes wide, "How did you come back?" Peipei smiled wryly, "Danqing, I really can't make it through." "Did you know that deserters are going to be shot?" There was no response there. After a while, Danqing noticed that Peipei was crying. "Peipei, don't be like this, I'll pick you up right away, don't worry, this is not the end of the earth, everything has a solution." "Parents are furious that school starts next month." "Maybe you report too early, come on, wash your face, I'll see you right away." Danqing hung up the phone, and Haiming stood in front of her. She clapped her hands, "Haiming, please be the driver and give me a ride." Haiming was rather annoyed, "You might as well adopt Miss Song Wenpei and officially be her nanny, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" He heard it all. "Haiming, don't be petty, let's have dinner together." "Ah," Haiming said sarcastically, "I finally agreed to have dinner with me. It's a pity that there is an extra guest." "Hai Ming." Danqing's expression darkened. She was his nemesis, he bowed his head helplessly again, she smiled smugly. Song Wenpei came to open the door, his eyes were swollen like peaches, Danqing felt compassionate in his heart, this is her best classmate, the two couldn't help hugging each other.Zhang Haiming was a little moved after witnessing everything. Girls and girls are more likely to fight ghosts. Danqing deserves respect for his loyalty to Peipei. Danqing had introduced them, and the team went to eat. Peipei was very picky about Thai food. No wonder, he cried when he saw the French fries. Say again and again: "I don't want to go back." Seeing that Peipei was so resolute and terrified, as if he regarded London as some kind of wild land, Haiming couldn't help laughing. Danqing glanced at him, "Peipei, talk to Haiming, he is old London." Peipei whimpered and asked, "How could you say that place?" Haiming asked patiently, "Which district do you live in?" "Urston Road." "Nice area." Peipei tilted her mouth. Haiming glared at her, "It's either crying, or throwing a temper tantrum, or giving up, this is the true nature of a young lady." "Hey, Haiming," Danqing jumped up, "I brought you out to comfort Song Wenpei, not to laugh at her." Peipei said listlessly: "Zhang Haiming is right, I have lost the battle." Danqing sighed helplessly. Haiming continued: "Going south from Uston Road is Southampton Road, passing through Russell Square, you will arrive at the University of London and the British Museum. Have you been there?" Peipei shook his head. "You sat in the guardian's house crying all month?" "Hai Ming, you are too much." Danqing repeatedly prevented him from speaking. "Really, if she got on the train at King's Cross, took the Underground for one stop, and got off at Channing Cross, she would be able to get to Tvoga Square, but no, she came back by plane." Peipei covered her face with her hands. "Enough, Haiming, enough." Danqing almost turned against him again. "No," Peipei suddenly put down his hand and raised his head, "Let him talk, he makes sense." Dan Qing scolded him, "Hai Ming, you are good at everything, but you are a troubled person, so you can be a teacher." I don't know when it started, Peipei stopped crying, and sat very calmly, looking at his hands closely, as if studying the palm prints. After a while, Peipei said softly: "Dead wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be lost. Yu Yu and He Zhu." As soon as Danqing paid attention and understood it, he smiled. "If you have us with you, I believe you are not afraid to go to Pluto." Peipei said: "I prefer the big rings of Saturn." "Let's apply for immigration there," Danqing said. The two girls cooed and laughed. Haiming was on the side, very intoxicated by the innocent conversations of the girls in their dreams. After time, when they grow up and mature, they will become ordinary and vulgar, comparing fashion jewelry, real estate stocks all day long. A woman is one of the strangest creatures in the world. When she was young, she was pure, soft and beautiful like a sparkling lake in spring, and then she began to change, gradually mature, vicissitudes, haggard, cunning, stubborn, domineering, born from the heart, and then beautiful When girls reach middle age, most of them become another person. Therefore, Haiming should greedily appreciate the scenery that Danqing and Peipei are showing at this moment. Song Wenpei's long hair reached his shoulders, and he combed the two corners randomly, and picked them up with clips. The broken hair couldn't be moved, and splashed into the corners of his eyes, so he ignored it. Danqing is not much better, she has always been unkempt, with one shirt sleeve rolled up and the other down, she wears a sarong casually, but her natural thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, and her peach-like complexion are enough to attract attention. The two girls were laughing and laughing, as if they had completely forgotten the troubles of yesterday. Dan Qing said: "Hai Ming, please teach Junior Sister Song a lot." Haiming said to Peipei: "I'll take you to Yung Kee on Huadu Street to eat the sand tea squab. It's delicious." There was something strange in Danqing's heart, and he almost blurted out: I want to go too. I could only hear Haiming going on: "It's just that my pocket expenses are limited, and I usually cook by myself." "Can you cook?" Peipei opened his eyes wide, as if he had discovered a treasure. "The craftsmanship is not bad. Their specialties such as Hainanese chicken rice and braised radish with beef brisket are praised by relatives and friends." "Ah, you must give me the phone address." Danqing couldn't help asking: "Are you going back to London? Only ten minutes ago, I heard someone say that she would not go back with a machine gun on her neck." Peipei was silent. After Danqing finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth, surprised: the tone was too sour, mean, and unfriendly, how could it be like this? Peipei said, "Danqing, I know you are disappointed in me." Danqing hurriedly controlled his emotions, and said softly, "I don't want you to waste the plane ticket." After speaking, he felt that his tone had turned hollow and hypocritical again, which was even worse than before. At this moment, Danqing knew that her friendship with Song Wenpei had deteriorated. for what? No one noticed that Danqing's face changed drastically, because Hai Mingzheng was very speculative when talking about the weather in England with Peipei. Danqing sipped the fresh coconut juice in front of him. You should be happy. Didn't he always want to introduce Peipei to Haiming? See, the goal has been achieved. It was hard for Haiming to resist desperately at that time, and even quarreled with Danqing. As soon as they met, they became friends within fifteen minutes, as if they didn't know each other. Peipei always wants to go back to study, even if her parents let her go, she can't explain to herself. Danqing heard Haiming say, "Maybe we will go back on the same plane." us. Danqing immediately felt lonely. This Haiming, thirty minutes ago, he was still Ruan Danqing's best minister, changed in an instant, and he shifted his position. Danqing rejoices: Fortunately, she doesn't love him. Otherwise, the story of Lin Jiankang Gu Ziyou and Hong Tongtong will repeat itself. What disappointed Danqing the most was Peipei. She didn't even ask Zhang Haiming what kind of relationship he had with Ruan Danqing, she already occupied him and talked non-stop. If you usually eat a biscuit, you will get half of the points for Ruan Danqing's Song Wenpei. Danqing was very, very confused. Is the relationship between people so simple? Whenever there is a conflict of interest, it will immediately reveal itself. She silently watched the joyful appearance of her good friend Jiufengconfidant. Lost Zhang Haiming. This kid was really serious about her. I couldn't stand the test too much, so I went with others all of a sudden. Danqing smiled wryly. Only then did Haiming pay her a little attention, "What are you talking about, Danqing?" "I, I didn't say anything." "Danqing," Peipei said, "I want to see a funny local movie." Haiming quickly stopped, "Ruan Danqing hates wasting time in the dark." Maybe it was because Danqing was overwhelmed, she heard a trace of dissatisfaction and irony in his words. She smiled and didn't care about it, "Haiming, you accompany Peipei, she went to England for a month, and she immediately felt that Yue was her hometown Ming, so please help her." Zhang Haiming immediately asked the waiter to check out, and accepted the appointment in a logical manner. Song Wenpei had no objection. Danqing couldn't believe how things were going. In this way, Great Britain lost India, and Ruan Danqing lost Zhang Haiming. Although the United Kingdom has always said that it would rather lose ten Indias than one Shakespeare, when things actually happened, it didn't feel like that at all. After all, Danqing is only in her teens, and the cultivation of this skill requires a long-term practice. She stood up immediately, "I'll take a step first." Haiming said, "We'll see you off first." It's us again. But Song Wenpei said, "It's 5:20, Danqing, why don't you go shopping around here, kill 90 minutes, and we'll meet again." "No, I have a headache, go home first, and then call." There is no reason for this. So anxious to get rid of the introducer. Danqing simply waved his hand to call a taxi, and left the scene as soon as he walked. Think again: Fortunately, I don't love him. The unpleasant meaning gradually passed, but Danqing began to understand why some women regarded their boyfriends as taboos and refused to let him show up easily, which meant that they did not show their wealth. There is still a lot to learn.
