After a brief chat, the four girls walked to the elevator together. Jiang Wenqin returned the pink bird song stream to Guan Lingyue. Guan Lingyue took it, put on the phone case, and curiously asked Li Wanyun.
She vaguely remembered that Li Wanyun was using this phone a few days ago, but she didn't recognize it as Niao Mingjian at the time, and said: "Why do I remember that you were using this phone a few days ago? Didn't it just go on sale today?
"
"This is a construction machine."
Li Wanyun pursed her lips and saw that Guan Lingyue was puzzled, so she continued to explain, "Before a mobile phone is released, it must be tested to see if there are any problems with the mobile phone. It is an engineering machine. My brother-in-law works in Gushici Company, and he gave me this
Mine, I got it before it was released."
"oh oh."
Only then did Guan Lingyue understand, and couldn't help but ask: "Does it cost money?"
"Should I not?"
Li Wanyun said in an uncertain tone, and smiled again, "Anyway, I didn't spend any money. My brother-in-law gave it to me. Their company may have quotas. Most of them will be destroyed after the test, and some can be applied for to stay."
"that is real good?"
Guan Lingyue was very envious, "It would be great if I could also work in an ancient poetry company."
Jiang Wenqin smiled and said: "There's no chance, because we are all studying medicine."
Li Wanyun said: "This mobile phone does not have a warranty. If there is a problem, you have to spend money to repair it yourself."
"That's great too!"
The speaker was Jiang Wenqin, expressing her envy again, "It would be great if I had a brother-in-law like this... Unfortunately, my sister doesn't even have a boyfriend."
"Um!"
Guan Lingyue was also very envious, nodded in agreement, and joked with a smile: "Then your sister still has a chance, she can find a boyfriend who works in an ancient poetry company."
"That makes sense!"
Jiang Wenqin laughed and said, "Tell my sister later."
Li Wanyun listened to the conversation between the two classmates, felt their vague feelings of envy, and felt a brief trance in her spirit.
She is not yet 20 years old this year, and her life has just begun. However, in her short life, she was divided into two completely different periods because of the appearance of one person.
In the previous period, whether in school or outside school, she was the one who envied others, envied other people's new clothes, envied other people's snacks, and envied other people's living expenses.
She knew very well that she also had things that others envied, such as her grades and good looks, but the two could not make up for each other. This made her often shy and cautious when getting along with her classmates, and her already quiet personality became even more
Introversion may be called "indifferent" to outsiders.
But she knew very well that she was not like that. She also wanted to go out to dinner with her classmates, spend time together, and give each other gifts... But this cost money!
If you accept kindness and gifts from others, you must return them!
And she knew very well that she didn't have the ability to pay it back.
She could only study harder and maintain her academic performance, lest she lose the few things she could be proud of. As for making more money after her academic performance was good, she had no such awareness at that time. It was more like a
It’s a big truth that everyone else is saying but I don’t understand.
Although it's a bit embarrassing to say it, at that time, what supported her hard study was indeed such a shallow, naive, and ridiculous reason.
She thought that life would get better and better. Her parents, sister, and the whole family also expected so. However, a better life did not come. In the second year of junior high school, her father was injured at work and became permanently disabled. Her sister had to prepare to drop out of school.
I work part-time to earn money to support my family and send myself and my younger brother to school.
My sister’s grades are so good...
She once wanted to fight for her sister to continue studying and go work to earn money. There were so many people of the same age in the village. Not many people went to work before graduating from junior high school, but it was not impossible. They could do some lighter jobs, such as electronics factories.
Shoe factory, clothing factory... My sister goes there, and she does this kind of work anyway.
】
Then, she was scolded by her sister. She had long been accustomed to dependence. Being obedient, she could only silently accept another sacrifice and care from her sister, secretly feeling sad when she was alone.
Later, my sister came back one weekend and said that she wanted to go out to work after taking the college entrance examination. My parents disagreed because there was no point in taking the college entrance examination and it was better to go out to work and make money early.
My sister had a fight with her parents, and her parents were very angry and even said that they would not give her living expenses... Later, they gave them to her, but my sister didn't ask for them...
It was that time that she heard her brother-in-law's name from her sister. She must have liked him by then, right? Maybe not yet, but she had a crush on him anyway...
My sister said that he has a classmate whose family is very rich and owns a shop. After my sister finishes her college entrance examination, she can work in the shop. It is in the county town and she still earns 800 yuan a month, which is more than she could earn when she went out to work.
Of course, she later found out that it was her brother-in-law who had deceived her sister. He must have already liked her sister at that time and liked her very much, so he deliberately tricked her into taking the college entrance examination. He knew that it would be a pity for her sister not to take the college entrance examination...
He asked Miaomiao to borrow money and bought a lottery ticket, and he actually won the lottery, and he also won tens of millions...My brother-in-law is so amazing, he can even watch football. Whether in middle school or college, there are many boys in his class watching the World Cup.
, there are also people who buy lottery tickets, but it’s good if they don’t lose money. How can your brother-in-law be so good?
He also deliberately sold two lottery tickets to his sister, who was still worried about the four yuan at the time. Unexpectedly, he won more than 48,000 yuan... Unfortunately, his sister was too strong, and all the brother-in-law's hard work was in vain... If he had changed
I guess I accepted it at that time. They were all his people anyway, so I just had to be good to him for the rest of my life...
Li Wanyun's thoughts were surging. Thinking of this, she blushed a little. She quickly gave up such embarrassing thoughts and thought again:
Perhaps this is the gap between him and his sister. My brother-in-law once said that even without his help, even if my sister did not go to college, she would have made a career for herself. My sister is destined not to be an ordinary person... I am different.
I have been under the protection of my sister since I was a child, but I don’t have the spirit and ability like my sister...
Fortunately, my sister got the best in the county and was able to go to college with a scholarship... That bad guy principal deserved to be dismissed... But thanks to my brother-in-law, he was not even in his senior year of high school at that time. He was so good that he defeated the principal.
I can all fail...
Looking back from now on, the fate of the family has already changed at that time.
My brother-in-law's family also changed together, but I didn't see the changes in his family with my own eyes, but I experienced the changes in my own family personally.
My sister went to Xiamen University to study, and at the same time she helped her brother-in-law take care of Qingyun, until now...
It was that summer vacation. On Sunday afternoon, my brother-in-law drove to his home and bought a lot of things. He even said that his sister bought them... He also bought books and pens. He was so careful...
She and her brother each had one of those two pens. She cherished them very much and was reluctant to use them. She only used them when she was taking exams. Sure enough, she got good grades every time... Later, her brother's pen broke.
Already...
At that time, the family was relatively wealthy, and Chengan didn't care at all, so she secretly took away the broken pen and kept it for herself.
There were also several books that her brother-in-law bought at that time. She also carefully put them away and wrapped them in book covers to prevent them from being damaged... The books her brother-in-law bought were all good books, such as "The Ordinary World", "Three Hundred Tang Poems", "Song Ci"
"Selected", "Besieged City", "How Steel Was Tempered", "Shishuo Xinyu", "Morning Blossoms Picked Up at Dusk", "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", all types are available, and you can watch them over and over again...
My brother-in-law was only in his third year of high school at that time, and his vision and taste were so good...
She read those books many times. In the process, the life of her family changed with each passing day. Even the second sister who had almost disappeared had news again...
Her life on campus has undergone earth-shaking changes, allowing her to truly begin to feel the beauty of campus life.
The cost of living has increased, and you no longer have to secretly figure out what to eat every time you are going to eat. It is not about choosing what is more delicious, but a balance between saving money and having enough food, and you cannot have both...
…
She can go to the cafeteria to choose, she can really follow her sister's instructions to eat, and even slowly started to choose more delicious food... Until now, when she eats in the school cafeteria, she dares to leave food if she encounters something she really doesn't want to eat.
I won’t eat anymore... In the past, this was something she couldn’t even imagine.
No matter how unpalatable it is, it is still food. It is bought with money. It can be full or not hungry...how can you not eat cleanly?
However, even if she doesn't finish eating now, she won't be hungry, and she doesn't even have to buy another one, because there will always be snacks she likes in the dormitory... This is also something she envied before but couldn't imagine.
She can now choose clothes according to her own preferences. Especially in winter, she no longer needs to wear many layers of clothes to keep out the cold. She can buy beautiful down jackets. A down jacket her sister bought for her costs two to three thousand yuan. At this time
The light gray cashmere coat I'm wearing costs more than 800 yuan...
In the past, more than two thousand yuan was the living expenses for a family of five for a year!
She dared to participate in treats, birthdays, and gifts given to her classmates. Occasionally she would take the initiative, and she didn't care whether the other party returned the gift... Her classmates began to think that she was a nicer person, quiet and gentle, and maybe some people thought she was introverted, but no longer
I feel like she's cold...
Sometimes when discussing clothes and supplies, and asking about prices, she would often downplay the price, but sometimes others would recognize the brand and real price, and sometimes she could detect the envy of some classmates.
At that time, she realized that she had unknowingly become the person she envied before.
Sometimes she feels ashamed, thinking that she actually cares about these things, and is secretly happy, satisfied, and complacent. She feels that she is too vain and materialistic, and this is not money earned by herself, but by her sister and brother-in-law who work every day...
She gradually adapted to this situation. Occasionally, she would still have small satisfactions and joys that were secretly hidden and not dared to be seen. But there was a situation where other people's curiosity and envy would make her feel very happy and happy all the time.
I am very satisfied, that is when I get a new mobile phone.
This happened when she first bought a Guci mobile phone in her senior year of high school. Smartphones were still very rare at that time. She got one, and it was a Guci mobile phone. There were almost the same iPhone 4 in the class as the class next door.
Fame... At that time, she belatedly realized how powerful her brother-in-law was.
Now, she has replaced the ancient Ci mobile phone and carefully collected it, but the new mobile phone will still arouse discussions among her classmates...
She pursed her lips, thought secretly, smiled secretly, her cheeks were slightly warm, she quickly hid her surging emotions, and walked into the elevator with her roommates and classmates.
After getting out of the elevator, Wei Lingling, who had not spoken much, suddenly asked Guan Lingyue: "Did you buy the mobile phone yourself?"
Guan Lingyue glanced at her, and then said with a little embarrassment: "My boyfriend bought it."
"I also want a boyfriend like this."
Jiang Wenqin was envious every day, and then looked at Li Wanyun, "My boyfriend also gave me a mobile phone, and my brother-in-law also gave me a mobile phone. Unfortunately, I don't have any..."
Li Wanyun blushed slightly, fearing that her random thoughts would be seen, so she quickly put aside the inexplicable thoughts in her mind and asked: "By the way, Wenqin, did you buy your sister's mobile phone?"
