Chapter 7 Chapter VII

No one is as unlucky as her, right?At six o'clock in the morning, with disheveled clothes and a big white pillow in his arms, he stood barefoot in front of Ruan Zhengdong's huge bed. The bedding on the bed was messy, the other pillow was crumbling, and the quilt was dragging from the bed to the ground. No matter how you look at this scene, it can make people have infinite reverie. The villain outside the door has already raised his hand to cover his eyes very cooperatively, shouting: "I don't see anything, I don't see anything." You can see the eyeballs rolling from between your fingers, Ruan Zhengdong couldn't laugh or cry, and dragged him out : "Let's go have breakfast."

"Brother, don't you change your clothes?" "Go downstairs and wait for me." "Okay... Is forty minutes enough? How about an hour? It doesn't matter, I can just run downstairs for a few laps in the morning, don't worry, take your time, take your time..." Ruan Zhengdong finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted: "Wu Baiyu!" "I'm leaving, I'm leaving first..." Wu Baiyu swiftly moved towards the door, but finally turned his head towards the bedroom and shouted heartily: "That sister, I'm sorry!" Before Ruan Zhengdong lost his temper, he escaped smoothly.

For the rest of the day, Ruan Zhengdong and Ruan Zhengdong looked at each other two by two. He explained: "This kid, having trouble with the family, called my sister specifically to ask for her address, and then ran to me to hide from his parents. He was still a child, so he kept his mouth open." "Uh..." Jiaqi didn't care anymore, "I'm going to brush my teeth." She still has to go to work, so she can't be late. In the end, she was still late that day, and she couldn't get a taxi at the gate of the community, so she had to walk a long way to take the subway.After arriving at the office, Zhou Jing'an's piercing eyes followed her: "Tell me honestly, where did you go to be so romantic and happy last night? Look at you, you didn't even change your clothes, and you looked like you didn't get enough sleep. Let me be honest!"

When I mentioned this wedding day, I became annoyed: "I haven't asked you yet, where did you go to have a good time last night? The mobile phone is not in the service area, and no one answers the landline." Zhou Jing'an lamented: "Don't mention it, I went on a blind date yesterday, but I met a top-notch one. After eating, he refused to even AA, and he waited for me to pay the bill, which caused me to have no money to call, and the phone happened to be out of battery. It's too bad to wait for the last bus to go home, even if you can't do emergency rescue."

Jiaqi is funny: "How do you meet the best?" Zhou Jingan swished her eyes: "Do you think everyone is as lucky as you to meet Ruan Zhengdong?" Jiaqi said: "Aside from being rich, what else is Ruan Zhengdong good at?" Zhou Jing'an said with a tone of hatred that iron can't make steel: "You are so lucky that you don't know your blessings." Before Jiaqi could answer, Zhou Jing'an had already been called away by her colleagues, and Jiaqi was holding the teacup in a daze. Ever since she left Meng Heping, she always thought that she was cut off from happiness.

When I was young, I was always a little naive, thinking that I could hold everything in my hands, and those happiness would last forever. Meng Heping only stayed in Dongpu for three days. The weather was always bad, cold and humid, and it was always raining coldly.Every evening after dinner, the three of them sat there watching TV, and she baked taro and water chestnuts for him on the stove.The little water chestnuts were roasted very hot, and he turned his hands upside down, peeling the skin so hot that he couldn't breathe.Jiaqi's father warmed a pot of fine wine with a spinner, and always gave them a glass each.Drinking rice wine with roasted water chestnuts, Meng Heping always praised the ancient flavor.

Meng Heping likes to eat crabs fried by Jiaqi's father the most. They are small, not much bigger than the cap of an ink bottle, but they are crispy and refreshing. After sending him back by train, Jiaqi specially asked his father to fry a lot for him to eat on the way. It was snowing a little that day, and the station was crowded with people during the Spring Festival travel season. The waiting room was overcrowded, and the other party had to raise their voice to hear them.So they just faced each other in silence, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "Call me." It seems that there is no need to say anything else, she knows everything he wants to say, and he also knows what she wants to say know it all.

He didn't go home, but went to Shenyang to celebrate the New Year. His parents are in Shenyang all year round because of work. He didn't hide some things from her, but when he told her, it was just an understatement. She started her internship when she was a senior, and did not rest during the May Day holiday. The company arranged for her to travel to Shenyang with several senior colleagues, and Meng Heping happened to be on a long holiday and came to Shenyang two days earlier than her.She felt very happy and called him.Taking advantage of the fact that she finished her official business, and the train ticket was tomorrow, and there was still an afternoon of free time, the two met.

Colleagues left the hotel early to go shopping, and the two of them also went shopping. In Shenyang in May, there is still a little shadow of spring. The lilacs on the roadside are blooming like embroidered flowers, and the air seems to be sweet with honey. The two of them drank a big cup of pearl milk tea each, and when their feet were soft, they went into the shopping mall and saw a place selling hair accessories, surrounded by many girls, all sitting there combing their hair.Jiaqi's hair is long, and she is being touted from far away: "Miss, come and try it, buy our hair clips and you can comb your hair for free forever."

Jiaqi didn't want to try it at first, but when she saw a tortoiseshell hairpin, she couldn't help but couldn't take her eyes away for a long time. Meng Heping said, "Let's try it first." Two young ladies came up early and combed her long hair one by one. The combs spread out on the top of her head, and then went down, combing her long hair smoothly.She suddenly understood why Jiji in ancient times had to be so solemn, because tucking up her long hair represented adulthood. After braiding the hair, and finally fixing it with hairpins, she was indeed more dignified and calm, as if the whole person had a new look.

It's really beautiful, her face is small, and she looks like a woman leaning on a railing by a window in the old days, with plum blossoms slanted on her hairpin.And in the mirror, he could be seen, carrying her bag for her, standing not far away, looking at her with admiration and smiling. She felt very relieved, because she didn't have to look back, and knew that he was there waiting for her. That hair clip was very expensive, she said, "I don't want it." The lady next to me said: "If you buy it, you can comb it for a lifetime." Meng Heping bent down and said in her ear: "Buy it, I like your appearance, anyway, you can comb it for a lifetime." Wanfa's love affair ends in vain. She blushed, and finally let him pay the bill. After buying it, she felt that it was not worth it, and she would not be able to come to Shenyang often in the future, so how could she have the opportunity to come here to comb her hair every day. Meng Heping said, "Who said you won't come to Shenyang often in the future." The implication seemed to be clear, but she was still a little embarrassed, so she walked to the front quickly. In fact, she was a bit silly at that time, and Meng Heping had no intention of taking her back to meet her family, so close at hand. And she didn't even find it strange. In the evening, the two of us went to eat Malatang. She ate so much that her face turned red and her nose was red. She ate a lot of tofu puffs by herself, and the beer was cold. Although it was early summer, the night in Shenyang was still a bit cold.Malatang was too salty, and the two of them were extremely thirsty before returning to the hotel. Seeing that the supermarket was still open, they went to buy soda. There is a huge parking lot in front of the supermarket, and almost all the cars in the nearby bars are parked in the parking lot of the supermarket. It was there that I met someone. The man was going to pick up the car. He had several companions. Seeing Heping, he stopped to talk to him. He proudly introduced to his companions: "Meng Heping, the son of Deputy Commander Meng of the military region." Jiaqi was still a little confused at the time, and didn't know the difference between the big military region, the provincial military region, and the military divisions.She just felt sad because Meng Heping had something to hide from her. In fact, Meng Heping was more nervous than her. On the way back, if she didn't speak, he never spoke to her. Finally, in front of the hotel, the driveway is surrounded by flower gardens, in which are planted roses and bunches of reds. Such a strong red color can be faintly seen in the night, like a trace of red silk, piercing the darkness of the night. She stopped, and Meng Heping was still holding the bag for her. His palms were sweaty, and he called out in a low voice: "Jiaqi?" She didn't respond, and he asked again: "Are you not angry?" She pursed her lips and laughed: "Why should I be angry?" He actually mentioned to her once that his father served in the military region, but he didn't say what position he held.So she asked her roommate Meiyun what level the officers of the military region are. Meiyun brushed nail polish on her nails and answered absent-mindedly, "I don't know either—the biggest officer should be at the division level..." "How big is the teacher class?" Meiyun thought for a while: "The city level is the level of the administrative commissioner and the mayor of the prefecture-level city." The distance is a bit, but the distance is not a problem. In turn, she comforted Meng Heping: "I don't need to be angry. It's the two of us together, and it's not the old society, so we have to pay attention to the right family. Besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with my family. My father and you are too. I've seen him, he's a very nice person." She seriously emphasized that it was very good, and she looked serious. Meng Heping finally stretched his eyebrows and smiled. Jiaqi never knew that Meng Heping had a dispute with her family because of her.The colleague in the same room fell asleep that night, so she sneaked out to call him. The night breeze in Shenyang was very cool, and Jiaqi walked a long way from the hotel to find a public phone. In fact, there was nothing important to say, and it had only been two hours since the two broke up, but he said, "Call me." She also agreed. accepted. When we are not together, his mobile phone will be turned on very late, because he always has to wait for her call, but this night his voice is a little low: "Jia Qi?" Hearing his tiredness, she couldn't help asking: "Have you slept yet?" "Not yet." After a pause, he called her again: "Jiaqi." She was a little confused: "Huh?" "I love you." This was the first time he said these three words, and it came out clearly from the earphones. Through the microphone, Jiaqi only felt that his face was burning.The public phone is like a huge orange mushroom, each petal is densely pleated, brittle and soft, with many tiny invisible spores, which will burst into the air when touched lightly, exuding a kind of Pleasant and disturbing breath.That was the taste of happiness, and the cool night breeze was blowing on her hot cheeks.She didn't know what to say, so she hung up the phone all of a sudden. After a few seconds, she hurriedly dialed back. He was still very quiet, and called her again: "Jiaqi." She heard her own voice, low and deep in the dust, but gorgeous flowers bloomed, like fireworks, blooming in the night in her heart, big and brilliant, illuminating the whole body and mind, she said: " me too." He smiled silently at the other end, and she didn't make a sound, and she knew it. After hanging up the phone for a long time, she just stood there.Behind is the dark long street, every car light is like a shooting star, bright arcs across the eyes, small white bright spots, even if you close your eyes, it will not disappear for a long time, like an imprint engraved forever. Meng Heping held the phone, and put it down after a long time, putting it next to the pillow. He heard his mother's knock on the door, and pretended to be asleep silently, but his mother pushed the door open and came in, sitting by his bed. The outline of the mother's face in the darkness is still beautiful, so many years have hardly left many marks on her face, she called his name: "Peace?" He kept silent, not out of anger, but just feeling sad. She patted him gently through the quilt, as if he was still a very small child.She said: "We are all for your own good. Haven't you and Xizi been on good terms for so many years? We both know each other well, and our family has always had a good relationship with the Ruan family. Otherwise, your classmate Li Xinyue is not bad either." Ah, her father was just transferred to the Chengdu Military Region to be a political commissar, and she went to the same university as you, so she knows everything about it... Well, why did you suddenly say that you have a girlfriend and that you want to bring her back for us to meet? At first sight, your father and I both objected, that's because we don't know her details." Meng Heping smiled wryly: "Mom, can you not interfere in my affairs? She is a girl, what kind of background can she have? Why are you so ineffective?" "I'm not interfering with you. Although the girl is studying at a famous university, the universities in the local area are so messed up now. You just refuse to listen to your mother. If you listened to your mother and went to a military academy, would you know these things?" A messy person?" "Jiaqi is not a messy person." "Anyone who can make you confused is a messy person." Meng Heping was so angry that he lifted the quilt and sat up: "Mom, how can you say that!" "Look at you, look at you, your temper is really just like your father's. Before he even said a word, he blushed and his neck became thick." "Because you are not only insulting Jiaji, but you are also insulting me!" "Meng Heping, what's the matter with you? Your mother has worked so hard to raise you up. Is this the attitude you have? I think that girl's background is not innocent, otherwise she can provoke you to make trouble with your family? Let me tell you, this way I have seen a lot of scheming and cunning girls. Is it because our family has good conditions that she has gone to great lengths? Don't even think about it!" On the contrary, Meng Heping calmed down: "You haven't even met her before, so why did you make such a conclusion? If she is not an ordinary girl in the local area, but the daughter of one of my father's comrades in arms, or the daughter of some leader of the Military Commission , would you still say that? Mom, don’t think that everyone cares about our family, she loves me, not our family. " "Do you know that she loves you, or does she love you? Dad is the deputy commander? I have never seen such a silly child like you. Do you know what their family does? Even what is her father's name and who is her mother?" You don't even know, but you dare to bring her back to show us. Let me tell you, your father and I are firm in our attitude. If you can't do it, you can't do it. You should break up with her immediately. Once you provoke this kind of girl It's endless. If it doesn't work out, the tail won't come off, and if something happens, will you embarrass us in the entire military region?" Meng Heping slowed down and asked, "Mom, how did you know Dad back then?" His mother froze for a moment. "A military art performance, right? At that time you sang "Come in February" solo. Until now, my father still said that when you stood on the stage, you had a big black and long braid hanging on your chest, and a pair of big eyes. It’s like the water is flowing in the eyes, I don’t know how moving this song is.” She was silent for a short time, as if returning to the brightly lit stage, so many lights, spotlights, spotlights, and colorful lights hit her body, making her body slightly hot.And she stood in the center of all light, as if standing in the center of the whole world.The entire auditorium was full of people, neat and orderly, even the line coming out of the military cap was straight and straight.The front row was full of chiefs, and the dense crowd of heads made her dizzy.She was still young at that time, and she was trembling even before she came to the stage. The head of the team kept comforting her: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the leaders are actually very kind." But after she came to the stage, the light shone on her face, and she couldn't see anything clearly when she looked out, but she just calmed down like that, as if she was facing the empty practice hall, calmly. It’s a good spring in February, and every family is busy farming, counting on a good harvest this year, and harvesting more grains for the public... Such a beautiful melody, sung with a sweet and loud voice, made her famous.Even the heads of the Military Commission knew about her, the sweet-voiced girl who sang "Come in February". Later, the leader of the art troupe came forward and introduced Meng Dujiang to her. The other girls in the troupe seemed to be very envious because he was the youngest son of the famous Meng Shuai.After typing the dating report, she was still confused. When the two of them went for a walk in the woods, they were always one in front of the other.When Meng Dujiang wrote to her, he always called her "Comrade Xiao Yun" in a proper manner. Most of them talked about thoughts and studies, and occasionally wrote about trivial matters in life. Originally, You Mingyuan, the piano accompanist of the art troupe, had always had a good relationship with her. She understood his thoughts for her, and he also understood her thoughts for him, but he hadn't said anything yet.There was only one step between the two of them. If she could muster up the courage to say "no" when the organization came forward, maybe her whole life would be completely different. However, one choice determines a lifetime. "Mom, back then you were just an art soldier from an ordinary family, and dad was the son of a general, the youngest chief of staff in the army at that time. Grandpa and grandma never opposed dad and you. Why are you against me today?" Her son's plausible voice made her feel very tired for some reason, but she still responded: "The times are different. Mothers in those days were so simple-minded. There will be no girls now."
