Chapter 7 Chapter VII

That day they went to the theater for dinner and played very late. Liang Yongshen said to Minmin who didn't show any displeasure: "--The dormitory closes at one o'clock, you can't get in." "Climb the wall to get in." "Already fitted with barbed wire." "Okay, okay, send me back." As soon as she arrived at the dormitory lobby, Minmin saw her aunt wandering anxiously in the lobby, she was clearly waiting for her, it seemed that she knew everything, Minmin left Liang Yongshen, ran over to hug her aunt, and shed tears in a daze. With such a bad mood and so many worries, Minmin also graduated.

She asked to go out and study. Sitting in the living room of his own house, he looked like a stranger, with his uncle and aunt on one side, and his father and stepmother on the other side. The four adults were negotiating the details. Minmin was absent-minded and lowered his eyes. Suddenly, she saw a wriggling little thing at the back of a corridor, Minmin was startled, looked carefully, and was overjoyed, isn't this her brother?He already knew how to crawl, why didn't the nanny watch over him, and let him move freely, crawling out of the corridor slowly, whining all the way. Minmin has never seen a cuter animal before, she really wanted to jump over and hug his face close to his face and kiss him, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

The baby crawled faster and faster, and finally came to a very close place. He raised his head to look at Minmin, and the siblings made eye contact for the first time. The adults were talking enthusiastically, but did not see this scene. Minmin asked silently: Are you coming out to see your sister? The baby laughs and waves a hand. Minmin doesn't even know his name. After saying hello, he turned around and crawled back like a little stupid car. At this time, the nanny also found his trace and rushed out to pick him up. Minmin just turned her head, just in time to hear her aunt say: "I believe Minmin will have to adapt."

Adapt, adapt to what? After talking, having a cup of tea, they left Wu's house. Negotiator Hong Junde said with emotion: "Yusheng seems to only care about his wife and children, and it doesn't matter if Minmin stays." "Then let us handle it. You have to think about it for him, how much income a teaching chair can bring him. Gu Jiahua has been taking care of this baby and has not done anything for two years. They have their own difficulties." "Is it just a matter of money? Why do some people turn their faces and deny people immediately after making a small fortune?"

"Thanks to you asking, even Minmin is more mature than you." "She's definitely more mature than a lot of grownups." Finally ended six years of boarding career. When I left with my luggage, I ran into the principal. Minmin thought, for the last time, she should do it beautifully, so she bowed, "Principal Zhang." "Student Wu," the principal smiled and nodded, "you are leaving your alma mater." The principal walked alongside her. alma mater?Of course, not my alma mater. "Student Wu, you are the best in the graduation exam this time, and you have won a lot of honor for your alma mater."

Minmin obediently said, "It should." Walking through the auditorium, the painting project is in progress, the principal said: "Come back and see us when you have time." "must." "The school building may be demolished and rebuilt," the principal said lamentably, "it's nearly a hundred years old." While speaking just now, there was a "sudden la" sound, and a large piece of the ceiling of the auditorium suddenly fell off. The workers were shocked and rushed to avoid it in an uproar. The principal hurried over to inspect, and she turned to look at Minmin suspiciously.

Minmin finally couldn't help it, and looked at her with squinting eyes. Minmin felt as if she had escaped from a cage. It took her some time to find Mo Yichang's whereabouts. The old house in Mo Zhai had been demolished, and everyone in the house was missing. Minmin believes that if he is willing to search for people in the newspaper, he can still find Yichang: "Wu Minmin is desperately looking for Mo Yichang, a classmate of Huaying Girls' School", but it is too much. For more than three years, Minmin hopes that Yichang will meet He had to automatically show up to reminisce with her, maybe she was also afraid of her.

The one who came to pick up Minmin that day was still Liang Yongshen. "Mom wants to see you," he said to his girlfriend in his mother's little Japanese sedan. Minmin was startled when she heard that, "No, I'm not good at seeing my aunt." She shook her hands. Going on, maybe even Liang Yongshen refused to see him, so he had to stop. She never told him where she was going after graduation, so it was inconvenient for him to ask, he felt that Wu Minmin's inner world was as vast as a plain where hundreds of horses could gallop, but she didn't open the door to let Liang Yongshen in.

"We're celebrating tonight." Liang Xiaosheng smiled, "Our family was going to have a wedding." Minmin is very reasonable, "Don't change the date for me." "I still hope you come together." Liang Yongshen's tone was a little melancholy, if a girl is magnanimous and generous to you, it means that she doesn't like you enough. Sure enough, Wu Minmin said like Kong Rong: "You go, you go, let's meet tomorrow instead." It would be much easier if she opened her mouth, stamped her feet and turned red with anger at once. Minmin asked: "Are the new couple relatives or friends?"

"The groom is my mother's nephew." "Your cousin." "Exactly, a little older than me." "Getting married so early." Minmin was surprised. Marriage should be a big plan for the New Year in the imagination. This complicated matter is by no means capable of managing, operating, and promoting it before graduating from university. Seeing her asking, Liang Yongshen reached out from behind the car seat and took out an invitation card and handed it to her. Minmin praised: "The design is so beautiful." The post is folded into a flower, opened layer by layer, and the names of the groom and bride are not seen until the third layer of petals.

Min Min was taken aback. Liang Yongshen still said to himself: "We have been to the reception, and we are free to move around." He turned his head to look at Minmin, Minmin had put down the chic post, and she said, "Okay, let's go together." The Liang Yong case was unexpected, Xizi asked: "Really?" The little car drove towards Hong's house. He heard from Minmin that her uncle's business is going well, and he has moved three times. The newest new house looks a bit endless, and he calls the servant to ring the bell. That good man welcomes Min Min to live here, and calls Min Min "my guardian angel". Of course, people are very generous when they are in good times. Liang Yongshen said: "Mr. Hong is very good to you." Minmin smiled and said, "Of course, I almost picked this uncle myself." Liang Yong'an felt that this was a bit weird, but he didn't go into it. The time for the reception was approaching, and he had to wait for Minmin to change his clothes. It only took her ten minutes to get ready. Liang Yongshen had just eaten a piece of chocolate and was about to flip through the latest magazine when Minmin was already standing in front of him. She was wearing a simple white dress, which already caught Xiao Liang's eyes. He became nervous, and asked, "Is this classic brooch given to you by Lingtang?" Minmin shook her head, "She didn't leave anything, not even a picture." Liang Yongshen was startled, how could it be possible? To put it bluntly, if he went today, there would be ten baskets of books left behind, and he was still a young man. Most of the middle-aged grandparents have become cybercrazy. Taking his mother as an example, she has 100 bottles of perfume, 500 pairs of shoes, and more than 5 bank safes. Constantly growing. Minmin said, "Let's go." The entrance of the auditorium is decorated with flower clocks, and it is fragrant. Not everyone can hold such a beautiful wedding reception!Minmin took a glass of orange juice and walked towards the bride in white gauze. Minmin stood next to the heroine, quietly watching her shake hands with relatives and friends, talking and laughing. After a while, the bride turned her head and saw someone looking at her with concern, she couldn't help smiling, and stretched out her hand. Suddenly she recognized the girl. "Wu Minmin, it's you!" Minmin was very happy, and stepped forward, "Yichang, you're married." Mo Yichang looked at the uninvited guest and was at a loss for a while, but finally she stretched out her arms to hug her, "Wu Minmin, how are you?" Minmin laughed and said, "Forgive me for being rude, I came uninvited." "No, it was me who was being rude." Mo Yichang pulled Minmin to a corner, "You have grown taller and more beautiful." With mixed feelings, he was speechless. "Yi Chang, don't be safe, I have three things to tell you." Someone said: "It's long, it's long." Is a good-looking young man. Minmin intuitively knew that he was the groom. She likes his cheerful and happy face, he is more suitable for Yichang than Qiu Jinyi, Minmin congratulates her sincerely. Yichang asked, "What do you think of him?" "Excellent." "After we got married, we went back to Australia to continue our studies." "Why don't you see your uncle and aunt?" "They got divorced and each got married again, and they didn't know how to present." Minmin also laughed, "I didn't expect middle-aged people to be busier than us." In fact, she still wanted to ask: Where is Qiu Jinyi?Where's Huichang?But this is a happy day for others, how can they speak out. Someone called the bride over there again, meaning she had to go there, and shook Minmin's hand vigorously before leaving, Minmin looked at her back, all brides were like gardenias, she thought. Liang Yongshen found Minmin, "I want to introduce my mother to you." Minmin raised her head, "I want to take a step first." "I see you off." "No, see you tomorrow." She walked away in a hurry, he wanted to catch up, but his mother grabbed her, the reception was crowded, and Minmin disappeared within three seconds. Minmin walked to the hotel lobby and breathed a sigh of relief. She picked a big sofa, nestled down, and closed her eyes. "Wu Minmin." She was taken aback. "You're Wu Minmin, aren't you?" She gently opened her eyes, and at some point, there was already one more person beside her. She struggled to make out his slightly haggard face. Finally Minmin said softly: "Qiu Jinyi, you are Qiu Jinyi." He nodded bitterly, "You still remember me." "You're coming to the wedding too." "No, I didn't receive the message, but I knew you would come, so I came here to wait for you." Minmin was taken aback, if he really wanted to find her, he could go to Huaying Girls' School early in the morning. Qiu Jinyi looked at her and said, "You have grown up." Minmin smiled, "You too." "After the breakup, I have been thinking about one question." His expression was quite strange, Minmin stood up vigilantly. "I kept thinking, who are you? It wasn't until yesterday that I suddenly realized." Minmin took a step back. "You are the Asura in Mr. Mo's mouth." Minmin looked at him calmly. At this time, Liang Yongshen finally came over, "Minmin, you are here." He was relieved. Minmin quickly held his hand. Qiu Jinyi looked at her.Say it again softly: "Ashina, you have grown up." Follow him and turn around. Liang Yongshen asked: "Who is this person?" Minmin didn't answer. "I didn't know you had an English name, what did he call you, Ashina?" Minmin shook her head. Liang Yongan said with a smile: "That is a beautiful name." "No," Minmin said, "it's not beautiful." "I'll take you home," Liang Yongshen said. Mother was quite disappointed that she couldn't see you. Also, I didn't know that you knew the bride. " Minmin never spoke again. That night, she went to bed early. A commotion outside the bedroom woke her up. She sat up on the bed, as if a banquet was being held in the living room, Minmin heard at least three or four different voices. She opened the door and walked down the corridor to see her father and stepmother confronting her aunt. What are they doing here? Only Chen Xiaofei said angrily: "No, I won't let you in, she's already asleep." Gu Jiahua said with a hoarse voice, "For many years you have guarded her like a priest guarding a god, Xiaofei, you know everything about her completely." "Shouldn't I protect her? In fact, she has no other relatives besides us." Minmin couldn't help but say, "Are you arguing for me?" The adults suddenly fell silent. Wu Yusheng hurriedly said: "Okay, she's up, let's ask her!" Minmin asked: "Ask me what, why are you looking for me?" Gu Jiahua came over, pulled Minmin into the room, and closed the door. The stepmother, who always dresses up neatly, is messy tonight, but her mind is even more messy. She grabbed Minmin and said, "We were still friends at the beginning--" and began to cry. Minmin looked at her quietly. "Open the door, open the door." Chen Xiaofei patted Minmin's door. Minmin went to open the door and asked her aunt, "Will anyone tell me what's going on here?" "The baby is sick." "Did you see a doctor?" Minmin asked. "Persistent fever, severe dehydration, very bad condition, she is very concerned." "Ah," it's not that Minmin doesn't sympathize with her, "but what can I do?" Chen Xiaofei let out a breath, "She thinks you have the power to heal." When Minmin heard this, she stayed there. Hong Junde came in with a calmer voice, "Minmin, your stepmother thinks you have superhuman powers, and because she displeased with what she did, she condemned her. If you are willing to forgive her, her child will be able to recover." Minmin fell down on the sofa, speechless. It's really fortunate that my good uncle said it straight, otherwise the charade doesn't know how long it will take. "Jiahua," Chen Xiaofei said, "you go back, the baby is already receiving the best care, don't think too much." Gu Jiahua grabbed Minmin's hand, "Please help me." Minmin couldn't help saying: "You are an educated and intelligent woman..." Wu Yusheng came in to help his crying wife. Minmin looked up for advice: "What should I do?" Hong Junde said: "Comfort her and tell her to go back and rest." "I don't even know the baby's name, and she's pretty sure I'm cursing him. Other girls get misunderstood, but rarely are they mistaken for witches." "I know I know." Hong Junde said: "She refuses to leave, she wants you to forgive her." Chen Xiaofei said: "It's all because of her guilt. She locked Minmin out, and now she comes here to atone for her sin." Hong Junde said: "I'm really tired and want to rest, Minmin, let's play a play together and get rid of her, okay?" Minmin smiled wryly: "You can do whatever you say." "Can you trust me?" "One hundred percent." "Okay, come out with me and follow my instructions." Gu Jiahua's face was full of sorrow, Minmin was moved, she suddenly remembered her mother's face, in her memory, it was also generally pitiful and helpless, Minmin felt kind. She knelt down and said, "Go back, my brother will be healed." "You agree?" "Of course I agree." Her stepmother's facial muscles gradually relaxed, and her expression gradually became peaceful. "Go back to sleep and wait for the good news." Wu Yusheng cast a silent and grateful look at his daughter, and helped his wife to leave. Minmin wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat down. Hong Junde praised her: "Well done, I don't need to mention the scene, I created my own script." Minmin said, "Now she really believes that I am an evil god." Hong Junde said: "Actually, the baby will recover." Minmin blurted out, "Of course." Chen Xiaofei asked: "Because you promised?" "No, medicine is so advanced, pediatric diseases are not difficult to control, and there is no danger. Gu Jiahua is really worried." "If it were my child, I would do the same." Everyone went back to their rooms and turned off the lights. But no one can sleep, the sky is almost dawn. Chen Xiaofei noticed that Minmin was sitting in a chair with her knees hugged and meditating. She went over and asked, "What are you doing?" "I am doing my best to protect my younger brother." Minmin smiled. "It doesn't matter, they won't set fire to witches now." "Are you sincerely willing to forgive them?" "Auntie, I saw my mother in a dream." "You can't remember her, it's all in your imagination." "Do you remember her again?" "We didn't grow up together. After childhood, we met again. She is already engaged. I can't deny that I have a greater affection for Wu Yusheng than my sister. They soon realized that we didn't have much contact because we avoided suspicion." "Do you think there are many tragedies in our family?" "Honestly speaking, if there are a few families who are handy every year, everything goes well." Auntie has always used a mature tone to prevaricate Min Min Xuan's questions, and she is very successful. It took a week for Minmin's younger brother to get out of danger. The infectious virus that caused him pain was finally under control. The doctor said that he is expected to recover in a short time. At this time, Gu Jiahua was clear-sighted, so naturally she didn't want to attribute it to Minmin, and she apologized to the Hong couple repeatedly. Chen Xiaofei laughed and said, "Minmin, your divine power has taken effect." Minmin replied: "Who said he is my younger brother." Hong Junde glared at his wife: "Enough." Let the matter pass. In the first year of studying abroad, Minmin came back four times. As soon as she had a slightly longer vacation, she would run back. Liang Yongshen called her to find her, and often only dealt with the tape recorder: "I am already on my way home..." Minmin majored in psychology. The textbook records dazzled her. According to psychology, there are two main reasons for memory decline: forgetting and blocking.Forgetting is extremely helpful in healing trauma. If the memory is not stimulated, it will fade away. But several psychologists believe that it is impossible for all memories to disappear. Minmin focused on this question. Why can't she remember how the fire started?She was there, and she hadn't forgotten the other details. Mental barriers are often affected by emotions, and Freud's 1914 book, The Psychology of Everyday Life, is devoted to this problem: he often stopped by a train station because the name of the station was similar to that of his sister. When she quarreled, she subconsciously wanted to forget the unpleasant incident, which was caused by mental depression. Minmin and Liang Yongshen said: "Some people have destructive personalities, destroying, destroying, destroying, and destroying themselves in the end." Liang Yongshen thought for a while, "It should be said that everyone has a little bit of this characteristic in their personality." "How terrible!" Liang Yongshen smiled, and she said such things to him as soon as they met, it didn't look like they were on vacation at all. "Each student has to write a report for the year-end exam, and I have found the topic." Liang Yongshen was quite interested, "Can you tell me?" "The Asura complex in human nature." Liang Yongshen was taken aback, "It sounds like a doctoral dissertation." "I'll show you the report when it's done." Liang Yongan laughed, "I'm afraid I won't understand." "It's only profound if you don't understand it." Minmin laughed. She seems to be more cheerful than before entering school, Liang Yongshen feels happy. He didn't expect that Wu Minmin's joy had nothing to do with him. It was entirely because of another person, his name was Weng Wenwei, and it was also the reason why Wu Minmin came back four times a year. Because of him, Minmin seems to have forgotten all the people and things in life in the past ten years. The air seems to be very fresh, the sunshine is very beautiful, and the chocolate is very sweet. . It doesn't feel like that with Leung Wing-sun or anyone else. She met Weng Jun in a bookstore. Young people often meet like this, but Minmin doesn't think so. She adds infinite color to this encounter, and hardly insists that the entire bookstore turns rose-colored in an instant. Of course, this is not the case. Weng Jun was very tired after running all afternoon looking for information. He was very discouraged because he was unfamiliar with people near the university town in a foreign country and could not find a coffee shop to rest. He accidentally kicked the hardcover books stacked on the floor, he took a breath and had to squat on the cement floor to pick them up by the green fluorescent light. "Let me help you," he heard someone say. He raised his head and saw the girl's shiny black hair, crystal clear skin, and shining eyes, and the terrible green light did not damage her appearance at all. Weng Jun felt relieved. There is nothing in the world that is more beautiful than a healthy girl. It is more pleasing to the eye, he sighed in his heart. The girl seemed to have heard his heartfelt voice and smiled sweetly. The basement was originally a bit gloomy and cold, Weng Jun didn’t know how long he had muttered about it, but now he forgot about it, the books had been folded, and the girl was about to leave, so he quickly said, “Do you know where I can have a cup of coffee nearby? " The girl turned her head, "Is a five-minute drive considered nearby?" He smiled and said, "It's too ideal." That's how they got to know each other. After drinking the coffee, the girl parted ways with him on the road. He raised his head and saw the twilight, and then he felt the existence of space and time. Weng Wenwei did not go home immediately. He sat in one of the carriages of the underground railway, forgot to get off the car, and rode from one terminal to another, his ears were filled with the roaring sound, an hour, two hours passed, he didn't think about anything, his mind There is only a booming sound. Finally he got out of the car, having missed dinner time. He lived in the basement of an old house in Chinatown, and it was his fiancée Jian Jinqing who opened the door for him. Weng Wenwei knew that he had returned to the real world. "Where have you been?" The fiancee was displeased. Jian Jinqing's face has been tense for many years, so it's no wonder that she doesn't look happy. Four years ago, they both set off to study at the same time. One year later, she gave up her studies and went to work as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant to pay for her fiancé's tuition. , rent for two people, electric lights, gas, food and all miscellaneous expenses. This kind of life for three years has trained a girl with a ruddy complexion and a lively personality into a woman who has lost her ambition and counts every penny. The more she sacrificed, the more Weng Wenwei was afraid of her, and gradually their relationship changed from a lover to a master and servant. All had passed, and Weng Wenwei finally graduated, and they could return home with good clothes. At the same time, Jian Jinqing said: "Now it's my turn to study, you have made money, and, tomorrow, go buy that 900 yuan coat." A smile. Weng Jun was relieved that the four-year debt was repaid in four years, and after eight years, they could live a life of equal status. But today, he met that girl. He suddenly heard his fiancee ask him: "Where have you been?" "I went to the bookstore to find some materials for Lao Liu." "Aren't you helping Lao Liu enough?" When he agreed to Lao Liu, he was indeed very reluctant, but that day was sunny, he was in a good mood, and he had time. There were more than 500 bookstores in the market, and he chose to go to that one, and the girl was standing next to him in the dungeon. . How much of a chance is this in a billion? "Would you like to eat now?" Weng Jun knew that it was just frozen shepherd's pie or hamburger beef sold in supermarkets. "I'm not hungry," he said. He had already had a snack in the Russian tea room just now. The girl introduced white sauce salmon to him, and he told her frankly that he only had fifteen yuan with him. The girl smiled and told him not to worry. Her skin, eyes, lips, and teeth seemed to be shining brightly. He looked at her like a lost man seeing a fairy in the forest, and he didn't believe that there was such a beautiful thing waiting for him in the world. Weng Wenwei lowered his head in confusion. Jian Jinqing asked strangely: "What's wrong with you, we can leave this cold and terrible city next week, but you are startled instead, don't tell me you don't want to part with this place." cruel?No no, good food and wine, soft music, and sweet words can all be found in this dirty city. "Did you find the information?" "turn up." "Your hands are empty." "Ah, it was left out in the ground car." He has her address, the girl does not live in the dormitory, the small apartment belongs to her uncle's investment, and it is temporarily her palace. He went to see her the next morning. The apartment is warm and bright, belonging to another world. The large window faces the prison park, which is now the color of rust, and the lake is full of smoke, just like an ink painting. The girl treats him with peppermint ice cream. She doesn't like to talk, and he enjoys the usual luxury of tranquility. He suddenly wanted to disappear and stay with her for the rest of his life. Weng Wenwei did not do that, he bid farewell painfully, and went back to his home, just in time to hear Jian Jinqing complain: "Oh, I still don't want to part with it, when I think of the money I have earned hard, how dare I fight against it, Flowers are soft to the hands and feet." He suddenly said: "Money is indeed important, but it doesn't have to be so big." Jian Jinqing turned around in surprise and sneered, "Hey, listen to who is talking, young master, go out and earn some money." A good thing was exaggerated by her into a tragic and clichéd literary tragedy, and the merits she had built were destroyed by herself. He didn't understand her. She has already booked the plane ticket. He deliberately said very harshly: "This is the last time I will pay." He went to say goodbye to the girl. The girl promised brightly that she would go back to see him soon. She didn't break her promise, she flew back to meet him whenever she was free. Weng Wenwei and Jian Jinqing did not live together when they returned to their original place of residence. They each returned to their parents' homes to live temporarily. Weng Wenwei did not disappoint Jian Jinqing, and soon found an ideal job and settled down. It was only the woman who was upset. His mother said: "Wen Wei, Jian Jinqing will not let you go." The mother took the girl's long-distance call and saw with her own eyes that when the young man heard the other party's voice, all five sense organs burst into smiles, and it didn't matter if the universe didn't exist. Weng Wenwei said: "At most, I will support her to study for four years." "She wouldn't count on you like that." "Add compound interest." "I'm afraid she's not reconciled." "Then," Weng Wenwei was half angry and half determined, "all I have is just one life." It was not until the next summer vacation that Liang Yongshen discovered that there was such a person. At that time, Weng Jun had already been promoted, moved house, and washed away the poverty of an overseas student. Minmin personally introduced them, and Xiao Liang felt that Weng Jun had already gained the upper hand. In private, Liang Yongshen asked Minmin: "Do you like him?" Min Min nodded. "What's good about him?" "He adores me." Liang Yongshen laughed, "My God, you shouldn't like people for such a reason." "Why not, you're never crazy about me, you just treat me like a good brother." "Friendship is the best foundation of all human relationships." Minmin covered her ears with her hands, "I don't want to listen to this kind of theory, Liang Yongshen even if you don't have a crush on me, there are others who do that." Liang Yongshen couldn't laugh or cry. As an aunt, Chen Xiaofei knew of such a thing, so she laughed and said, "Come on, Xiao Liang!" Liang Yongshen said: "Auntie help me." "No, I can't interfere in anyone's love life." Liang Yongshen was discouraged, "Then I will lose." Chen Xiaofei smiled, "Take courage and pursue your ideals." "Weng is already working, I still have a year to graduate, at least I lost the first game." "Two wins in three sets." "Auntie is so cute."
