His father was just a minor official in a central ministry in the capital, but during the revolution, due to his background, he was criticized and criticized all day long. In the end, he was in a trance and left with injustice. His mother followed him soon after. After his father passed away, Lan Yu Qiu was transferred to Dongquan County at that time and did not make it in time to see her father off, which left her with lifelong regrets. Although she was later rehabilitated, what was the use of having died.
Lan Yue saw her mother's sad eyes and knew that she was remembering the past again, so she hurriedly said: "Mom, don't worry, my daughter will never leave you in her life."
Lan Yuqiu smiled, pointed at Shen Tong outside and whispered, "Does he know?"
"Well," Lan Yue nodded and said, "Shen Tong is very supportive of me. He said he is willing to wait for me,"
Lan Yuqiu didn't have any reason to object and said calmly: "Then you go ahead. Mom also supports you. I'm just worried about you two..."
"Oh, Mom, why are you so worried? We are fine. He told me today that he wants to marry me, don't worry," Lan Yue said happily.
Lan Yuqiu still said uneasily: "I am not afraid that you will change your mind after you have been gone for a year. You have not known each other for a long time. Do you really know Shen Tong? You are not afraid that he will change his mind. Mom doesn't want you to be hurt. If you If you’re not happy, mom will just..."
"Mom," Lan Yue felt that her mother was going too far, so she hurriedly stopped her: "Although I don't fully understand him yet, I can feel that he really likes me. It just so happens that I can use this year's time to test Tell him, if he really betrays me, even if I am blind, I will never be sad. If he really wants to wait for me for a year, I will marry him when I come back and be good to him all my life."
What else could Lan Yuqiu say, he could only nodded and acquiesced to his daughter's actions.
The mother and daughter were chatting in the kitchen. Shen Tong was sitting on pins and needles uncomfortably. He suddenly remembered what Yanni had entrusted to him this morning. Because Lan Yue had completely forgotten about it, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Yanni's pitiful eyes. .
But it was already dark now, and the government agencies had already got off work, so they could only do this thing tomorrow morning. Shen Tong planned to call Yanni to explain, and took out his mobile phone to find the phone number in the morning and call back. Later, I realized that this was just a public phone, so I had no choice but to talk about it tomorrow.
Lan Yuqiu made a large table of delicious food, which made Shen Tong salivate. He ate in the cafeteria every day, and it always tasted the same, and there were only a few dishes. Apart from cabbage, it was just potatoes. It felt fresh at first, but now he has become numb. , not focusing on quality, filling one’s stomach is all that matters, Shen Tong relaxed his stomach and enjoyed this delicious meal.
After dinner, Lan Yuqiu was busy preparing things for Lan Yue, while Shen Tong helped Lan Yue clean up the dishes. The two were laughing and joking, when Lan Yuqiu suddenly came over and called Shen Tong: "Shen Tong, Come to my room and let me tell you something."
Shen Tong was stunned there, at a loss. Lan Yue didn't know what her mother wanted to say to Shen Tong, but she definitely didn't mean any harm. She pushed Shen Tong and whispered: "Go quickly, my mother can't eat you." ,"
Shen Tong came to Lan Yuqiu's bedroom uneasily, and saw Lan Yuqiu sitting in front of the desk, looking at Shen Tong with a serious face, just like calling a student to his office, bringing his professional habits to his home.
"Sit down," Lan Yuqiu pointed to a chair next to the desk.
Shen Tong slowly moved over and sat two-thirds of the way down, even more nervous than when he saw Wu Jiangkai.
Lan Yuqiu said: "Lan Yue is going to the capital to study, you know, right?"
Shen Tong nodded.
"Tell me what you really think," Lan Yuqiu said.
Shen Tong thought for a while and said: "I fully support Lan Yue because she said that being a doctor is her dream, and I have no reason to stop her. Besides, this kind of opportunity is rare. If you miss it, this village will not have this store."
Lan Yuqiu smiled and said: "I have never objected to the relationship between you two from the beginning. To be honest, you are not the ideal person in my mind, but as long as Yueyue likes her, I will support her. Yueyue's character She is gentle, but has a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat in her bones. She has been like this since she was a child. This may have something to do with her growing environment. We have also seen the situation in our family. It is not easy for us and my mother to make it to where we are today. What this means is, I just hope you can be good to Yueyue, can you understand what I mean?"
Although Lan Yuqiu didn't say it clearly, Shen Tong guessed what she was going to say and said: "Principal Lan, don't worry, from the first moment I saw Lan Yue, I realized that she is the person I am looking for in this life. To put it cliché, this is called fate. Regarding this relationship, I am very rational and know exactly what I am doing. I am just rushing to get married. Although I can’t give Lan Yue anything now, I believe that I will definitely be able to give him something in the future. She lived a good life,"
"Today, I also make a promise in front of you that I will truly love her for the rest of my life and never change my heart,"
Lan Yuqiu was relieved that Shen Tong could have such an attitude, and said: "We haven't known each other for a day or two. When I taught you, I thought you were steady and kind, with both good character and learning. Since I started working, I have also I have heard other people comment on you on different occasions and speak highly of you. This is really what I value. I don’t need you to promise me anything. I only have one thing, cherish Blue Moon and cherish this relationship, okay?"
Lan Yuqiu's face was kind and his tone was gentle, which made people feel very comfortable. Shen Tong said: "I will definitely cherish everything that is hard-earned now,"
Lan Yuqiu stood up with a smile, nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you can say that, I feel relieved. If Lan Yue is not at home, if you want to eat something, call me in advance and I will cook it for you."
Shen Tong scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I promise to be there whenever you need me at home."
Shen Tong reluctantly bid farewell to Lan Yue. He returned to the dormitory and did not want to wash up and lie on the bed. Thinking that Lan Yue would be away from him for a long time, he felt inexplicably sad. In the past, Shen Tong and Lan Yue were in Dongquan County together, so there was no chance of meeting each other. There were too many, and I didn’t feel this way, but now that Lan Yue is leaving, I am reluctant to leave.
After tossing and turning for a long time, she was still not sleepy. Lan Yuqiu's words lingered in her ears. She was afraid that I would change my heart after Lan Yue left. How could this be possible? Although she still cared about Xu Xia, who was far away in the provincial capital and was suffering, she could not be with her. She is destined not to be together in this life, and Lan Yue is the one he wants to accompany him for the rest of his life.
Thinking of Xu Xia inexplicably, Shen Tong began to feel sorry for her again. How could a good person come to this point? Thinking of this, Shen Tong took out his mobile phone and found Xu Xia's mobile phone number. He made a lot of determination and trembled. She dialed out, but before hearing the "beep" sound, Shen Tong quickly hung up and threw the phone aside.
At this moment, Shen Tong's mind was in chaos. Lan Yue and Xu Xia were constantly switching in their minds. On one side was his current girlfriend, a wife who might get married in the future, and on the other side was his former lover, which made him dream back. , his worried ex-girlfriend, these two are the most important women in his life. He doesn't want to betray Lan Yue, but he can't let go of Xu Xia.
"Hey," Shen Tong let out a long sigh, picked up the phone again, and looked at Xu Xia's number in a daze. At this moment, the phone beeped, and a text message came. After a closer look, it turned out that It belonged to Xu Xia, so he couldn't believe his eyes.
Shen Tong was about to open it. His finger had already touched the button, but he lifted it up slightly. He couldn't bear to see the sad past. Finally, he mustered up the courage to open the text message. The content was very short, only four words: "Are you okay? ,"
Although there were only four words, there were too many emotions behind them. Shen Tong stared at the phone screen in a daze, returning to that innocent and happy era.
Shen Tong compiled the text message: "It's okay, how about you," and when he was about to send it, he found the shadow of Lan Yue appeared in front of him again. After thinking about it again and again, he closed the phone, covered his head with the quilt, and thought about his behavior. I feel deeply guilty.
In Xu Xia's home in Longzhong City, Xu Xia has been living alone since her divorce. Thinking about her failed marriage, she sheds tears all day long. Xu Xia's mother comes to see her every now and then. Every time she sees her daughter's expression of pain, she feels sad in her heart. She was bleeding, but she could do nothing to change the status quo with her own strength. The other party was the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, and Xu Xia's father was just the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at the prefecture level. How could she resist? But seeing her daughter like this, as a mother The one who doesn't feel bad.
That night, Xu's mother made dumplings and brought them to Xu Xia. While the two were eating, Zheng Weijun opened the door drunkenly and came in. After entering, without saying a word or caring about the child in his belly, he grabbed Xu Xia and beat him up, and then Pointing at Xu's mother, she said, "The more your daughter behaves like this, the less I will make it easy for her." After saying that, she slammed the door and left. Before leaving, she took Xu Xia's mobile phone from the shoe cabinet.
After Zheng Weijun left, Xu Xia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up against the wall without crying, and sat down at the dining table to continue eating. However, Xu's mother was so frightened by this scene that she was at a loss for a while, and it took her a long time to react. When he came over, he burst into tears and muttered: "Do evil, do evil..."
Xu Xia stuffed dumplings into her mouth one after another with an expressionless face, completely ignoring her mother who was sitting on the ground crying, her heart was completely dead.
Xu's mother suddenly stood up and held Xu Xia's face to look at her. She burst into tears and said, "He often beats you like this."
Xu Xia continued eating dumplings without saying a word.
Seeing her daughter's appearance, Xu's mother was heartbroken. She touched her face distressedly and said, "Daughter, if you have any grievances, tell mom, don't keep it in your stomach. Otherwise, you can cry out. Mom, please, please don't." In this case, mom is really worried about you,"
Xu Xia turned around and said calmly: "Mom, my tears have dried up. I will never shed tears for this kind of man in the future. It's not worth it. I chose your daughter's life. This is my fate. You do not Cry,"
Xu Xia said this, and Xu's mother felt even more regretful, saying: "Mom always thought that finding a good family for you would make you happy, but she didn't expect it to be like this. If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage in the first place. , It’s better to let you marry that boy named Shen..."
