In the past six months, Wang Ai has still had some social activities. In addition to sometimes hanging out in the courtyard with You Hong, Lin Jiao, Lin Long, Ma Dong and others, dozens of students he sponsored in the first high school
After knowing him, almost everyone wrote a "thank you letter" to Wang Ai after going to school. Although it was a bit samey, Wang Ai still liked to read it.
These arrogant key high school students have not yet tasted the cruelty of society. Although they almost missed college, they still generally think that they are "angels with broken wings" and it is just a temporary difficulty. So even if they express
Thank you, and there is no flattery at all. Instead, the words are full of confidence: Thank you very much for helping me, and I will definitely repay you with every drop of kindness in the future!
Wang Aidu simply replied to the letter, and it was a bit the same. The general meaning was: the world is far away, and the rivers and lakes are far away. Once we part, we will see each other one day. We will work hard and look at the future... we can win once, and
next time.
After receiving the letter, the students responded with high morale: If I lose you once in the college entrance examination, I will feel it is a shame in my life, and I won't dare to relax for a moment... Just wait, little boy!
Among these biographies of wild geese that come and go, there is one that is very special.
Letter from Xu Qinglian.
It can be seen that Xu Qinglian regards Wang Ai as a pen pal.
The first letter came about half a month after the start of the middle school term. After that, it came intermittently once every half month on average. At first, it was just a polite greeting and concern about studies. As time went by, it inevitably turned into a mountain of gossip.
Xu Qinglian may not have thought of this, but Wang Ai couldn't stand it, so she wrote hard on the paper. A plain letter was as thick as a postal parcel. Later, the conversation became more heated, and one letter came every week, even every three or four days.
A letter came from heaven.
From these letters, Wang Ai learned more and more about Xu Qinglian. Xu Qinglian’s family background was not bad. Her father was a small cadre in the tax bureau. Otherwise, the small amount of pocket money that ordinary families gave their children would not be able to withstand anything.
It costs one yuan to write a letter, envelope, stamps, letter paper and so on.
In Xu Qinglian's impression, her parents always quarreled. She was too young to understand and couldn't remember what they were arguing about. Anyway, they had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. They quarreled back and forth. When she was ten years old,
When I was 18 years old, I finally couldn't live any longer.
Xu Qinglian's mother left her hometown in anger and heard nothing from her, so Xu Qinglian lived with her father. Old Xu was only in his thirties and was still a small cadre. Naturally, he couldn't always live alone without worrying about food and clothing, so he found Xu Qinglian.
She is a stepmother. This stepmother is also a civil servant in the agency. She treats Xu Qinglian well and has no bad intentions. Although Xu Qinglian feels awkward, she can make do with it.
But as a little girl, it is inevitable to have a feeling of: "This is my home, this is my dad, why does it all become yours when you come here?" This kind of grievance naturally makes the relationship between father and daughter somewhat alienated.
.
However, something happened shortly afterwards, which caused a decisive change in the originally stumbling relationship between Xu Qinglian and her family: Xu Qinglian's stepmother was very successful, and within two years, she gave birth to a son for Lao Xu.
When it comes to how many children there are in a family, it is impossible for parents to use calipers to measure "a bowl of water." Otherwise, how can we say that a crying child has milk? It is inevitable to be partial. Be sensible.
My parents try their best to be fair financially, but they cannot control their inner preferences.
The southern Liaoning region is the most conservative region in Northeast China.
Because the Shandong people who broke into Guandong first landed in Liaonan, and every family's ancestral property was in Liaonan. When there were too many children and they couldn't survive, they dispersed and gradually spread to northern Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other places. So from a cultural point of view,
, the traditional culture in southern Liaoning is the strongest in the Northeast.
Then, it is inevitable that there is a bit of preference for boys over girls.
He was a son, still a little one, and the whole family circled around this child. Xu Qinglian felt even more neglected.
I couldn't tell my girlfriends about these things. They were all classmates nearby, and I was afraid of spreading the word. Invisibly, Wang Ai, who was far away in Beijing, became the best person for Xu Qinglian to talk to. Although Wang Ai tried his best to persuade Xu Qinglian to read in his reply
A little more open, but I still felt through letters that the relationship between the Xu family was becoming increasingly tense.
Xu Qinglian had a tough temper and would not bow her head. It was only when Lao Xu and his wife, who had been busy with the little baby for more than a year, finally took a breather and had time to take a look at the eldest daughter that something was wrong. But at this time, she wanted to go back and make amends.
It's too late. The relationship between father and daughter is already very weak, and there is no trace of "mother-daughter" relationship at all.
Xu Qinglian didn't make any noise or make a fuss, she didn't even ask for anything, she was very polite, as polite as an outsider... But this is not how a family should get along.
Xu Qinglian and her mother looked more alike. The more harmonious Lao Xu got along with his later daughter-in-law, the more he resented his ex-wife and inevitably hated his ex-wife. So when he saw that Xu Qinglian was as stubborn as her mother, she also lost her temper and refused to do so.
Take the initiative to break this rigid situation.
Otherwise, character determines destiny. The fate of Lao Xu and his ex-wife fell on the father and daughter of Lao Xu and Xu Qinglian because of their character problems.
Wang Ai could feel that Xu Qinglian initially expected Lao Xu to coax her and give her some family warmth. But when Lao Xu wanted to save face like this, Xu Qinglian's heart completely went cold.
And Xu Qinglian's stepmother must have felt the abnormality in the family relationship. Every day, the family of three was enjoying themselves happily and warmly. But when Xu Qinglian came back, it was like there was an extra refrigerator in the house, so in addition to the little boy who was babbling,
They didn't understand anything, and the remaining three members of the family were very at odds with each other, and the button gradually became impossible to untie.
Wang Ai sometimes thought that Xu Qinglian's mother had a hard heart, otherwise she wouldn't have just waved her hands and disappeared without even caring about her daughter. There wasn't much softness in Xu Qinglian's heart. Maybe this family was the only soft spot.
But after getting along with a straight man like Lao Xu, her only weakness was gradually tempered and hardened. In the end, Xu Qinglian's heart was just a piece of iron. It was precisely because she lost her weakness that she could be promoted to a goddess.
When Ai Xiaoqing opened the door and came in, everyone was stunned and looked at Wang Ai with strange expressions.
Wang Ai jumped: "Mom, you peeked at my letter! This is immoral!"
"Mom didn't mean to see it," Ai Xiaoqing explained with a smile on her face: "When we parked on the curb just now, your bag fell over. I saw it when I was packing it for you. In fact, it wasn't mom looking for it on purpose. It was too big.
Obviously, other people’s letters are from various universities, but the thickest one in this pile is from middle school. Tell me, when did it start?”
Wang Ai ate angrily and ignored Ai Xiaoqing.
Ai Xiaoqing turned around and asked Huang Xin funny: "Xiao Huang, do you know?"
Huang Xin covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I know that he frequently exchanges letters with a girl from Yingkou, but I don't know exactly what he said. The little genius is watching carefully and doesn't let me peek."
"That's too much!" Wang Ai glared at Huang Xin: "I didn't expect that you, with your delicate features, are actually a traitor lurking in our army!"
"Xiao Li" Ai Xiaoqing held Wang Ai in her arms to prevent him from saying anything, and turned to ask Li Lin: "Do you know?"
"Ah?" Li Lin put down the "Utopia" he had just explained to Wang Bin, with a confused look on his face.
