Chapter 438: The fourth step, words to punish the heart
Li Xiaojun made an appointment with Ganlu to meet at his house tomorrow.
It was just the three of them, having lunch as usual.
But I can no longer feel the warmth of a family that I had before.
After eating, Gan's mother made excuses and went out, leaving space for the two of them.
But some things are just so magical.
It always goes against what people think, after Gan's mother left.
Li Xiaojun couldn't sit still anymore. If Ganlu hadn't kept asking about his situation after returning to Beijing.
He immediately wanted to leave the Gan family, the place where he had lived for several years.
After hurriedly dealing with Ganlu for a while, Li Xiaojun still couldn't sit down.
"Ganlu, I have an appointment with a group of friends this afternoon. How about we continue chatting tomorrow."
"Well, socializing is very important for a man, so I'll take you out."
When the two people walked to the door of Xu Damao's house, they heard voices coming from inside.
"The residents here have changed now?"
Ganlu: "Yes, now a technician named Xu has bought this place."
"This guy is quite fashionable."
"Um."
Both of them looked distracted.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the alley and talked again about the time they would go to his house tomorrow.
Ganlu watched Li Xiaojun leave, still somewhat looking forward to tomorrow.
When she went back, she passed by Xu Damao's door.
Listening to the music coming from inside, I couldn't help but turn in.
After Ganlu went in, she saw Xu Damao sitting listening to the symphony and drinking beer.
There are several braised vegetables on the table that go well with wine.
"Brother Xu, your life is too corrupt."
"Is the technician's salary so high that he can withstand you doing this every day?"
Xu Damao: "Grudge, sit down and drink some beer together. I've just started and haven't taken a sip yet."
He turned down the volume of the tape recorder and invited the manna to have some with him.
Ganlu looked at the tape recorder on the table and clicked her tongue.
"A double tape recorder, Brother Xu. It costs a lot to buy this, right?"
Xu Damao: "It was given as a gift. I really don't know how much it costs. If you like it, just take it home and listen to it."
"I don't dare to touch this treasure of yours, otherwise I won't be able to afford the compensation if you sell it."
"It's just a toy. It's not that valuable. Don't look at it. Sit down and eat something together."
Ganlu sat across from Xu Damao and took a sip of beer.
"Brother Xu, I'm not inquiring about your privacy, I'm just out of curiosity."
"I heard from my mother that you are a technician at an instant noodle factory."
"What kind of technology are you responsible for? I don't see you going to work."
Xu Damao: "I am omnipotent."
"Tch, forget it if you don't like talking."
"You ask me, I said it, I said it, but you don't believe it, hey ~ what about the trust between people?"
Gan Lu looked at Xu Damao's funny look and burst out laughing.
Xu Damao: "That's right. Eat something, drink something and have a happy day."
"I don't know why, but you look worried."
"But there are no obstacles that you can't overcome. Just relax a little bit."
"Make yourself happy, and you will find that all difficulties are just paper tigers."
Ganlu smiled bitterly and did not answer his words, but drank another glass by herself.
Xu Damao didn't try to persuade her that she should eat and drink.
Two people sit at the same table and drink from each other without disturbing each other.
In the room, except for the symphony on the tape recorder, other sounds were almost inaudible.
After a long time, the red-faced Manlu spoke.
"Brother Xu, do you think people's hearts will change?"
Xu Damao: "If life is just like the first time we met, what's the matter with the sad autumn wind painting a fan?"
It is easy to change an old person's heart, but it is said that an old person's heart is easy to change.
The words from Lishan are gone till midnight, and the rain and bells are filled with tears and no complaints.
How unlucky it is to be blessed by a handsome man in fine clothes, and the wings and branches are linked together to make a wish for that day.
"Listen to this poem. It has told us very well."
"The human heart is the most complicated thing in the world, especially after the identities of both parties have undergone tremendous changes."
"Like Chen Shimei in the Guimei case, everyone knows about it."
"But many bright and beautiful officials and poets are actually like this."
"For example, the article (The Biography of Yingying) written by Yuan Zhen, a minister, poet and writer of the Tang Dynasty."
"It was written using his own experience as a version."
"At that time, Yuan Zhen's family was hit by a military disaster, and he hid in the home of a distant relative during the crisis."
"I fell in love with a girl from a relative's family, and soon Yuan Zhen became famous."
"He abandoned this woman and married the daughter of a foreign official."
"There is also Li Yi in (The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu), who is also a poet of the Tang Dynasty."
"When Li Yi was poor, he relied on Huo Xiaoyu to support his education."
"After he becomes an official, he will immediately marry a woman from the Lu family of a high-ranking family."
"And she avoided Huo Xiaoyu and refused to meet, which made Huo Xiaoyu eventually fall in love and die."
"Actually, this is not only true for men, but also for many women."
"For example, the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his mother Wang Quan, is an example of abandoning her husband and her daughter."
Ganlu: "Then there is no true love in this world?"
Xu Damao: "Yes~ Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are ready-made, aren't they?"
"Young people talk about love, adults talk about interests."
"Otherwise, where does this statement come from if they are a good match?"
"Of course it was the kind that happened a few years ago, when a wealthy lady married a poor old man."
"It's just like Yuan Zhen hiding from the enemy. It's not a normal phenomenon and it won't happen again in the future."
Ganlu was silent and drank two glasses of beer.
Only then did she start telling Xu Damao the story about her and Li Xiaojun.
Xu Damao is now a very patient listener.
After Ganlu finished telling all the events of these years in one breath.
"Brother Xu, what do you think I should do now?"
Xu Damao: "As you said just now, Li Xiaojun seems to have no feelings for you."
"Your mother also said that Li Xiaojun's mother is unreliable."
"If you are reluctant to let go of all the emotional investment you have made over the years."
"I suggest you go see his mother's attitude toward you tomorrow."
"Even if Li Xiaojun accepts your feelings, you still have to consider the future relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
"Otherwise, you will suffer a lot. By then, it will be too late for you to regret."
Manna: "But..."
Xu Damao: "Is there anything else to do about work?"
Ganlu lowered her head: "I don't know, I can actually do it anywhere."
"But my mother only has me as her daughter. If she stays in Jiayuguan all the time, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to bear it."
Xu Damao: "Mother Gan is a nice person. She even helped me clean the house on the day of moving."
"You're not bad, you're so beautiful. If you could stay at home, wouldn't I be very lucky?"
"As long as you don't mind the bad job, I'll leave it to me to transfer you back."
