Of course, for the older generation who have experienced poverty, it has something to do with worrying about money.
After Zhang Ling finished washing the dishes, she went out and threw the garbage bag containing the broken porcelain bowl pieces into the trash can without leaving immediately.
"Girl from the Zhang family, why don't you leave after throwing away the garbage?" Aunt Li, a neighbor who often greets her, came over and asked.
Zhang Ling did not look back, let alone say a word. She stood in front of the trash can with a somewhat sad look, giving the impression that she was performing a farewell ceremony.
Aunt Li shook her head and continued: "Girl, listen to my advice, no matter how good things are, they have become garbage, and garbage should have a place to go."
She seemed to hear Zhang Ling's sobbing, and felt that she had hit the mark, so she continued:
"It's good for people to value love and righteousness. But you can't live in memories forever just because the things you once loved have become trash. You should know that time is moving forward and life will eventually go on."
Yes! Life will eventually go on.
Zhang Ling's mind once again recalled Li Xiang's voice while making tea. It was as if she had completely decided in her heart that Li Xiang would be her substitute for forgetting the past.
Aunt Li looked at her and still didn't turn around: "You are exposed late at night, be careful to catch a cold. Look, your father is worried about you upstairs. Oh, this silly girl, why doesn't she know how to cherish the people around her?"
Zhang Ling's heart tightened, and then she raised her head and looked upstairs. There was indeed a figure flashing past her window, and then she put on a smile and said:
"Aunt Li, thank you. I just finished throwing away the trash and found that I seemed to have forgotten something. I just remembered that there was no toilet paper at home, and I had to go to the supermarket in front of the community to buy some paper."
"Really?" He smiled happily.
"Aunt Li, you are right. You are exposed late at night. You should come back soon."
"Okay, it's fine!" Aunt Li didn't want to delve into the real reason. When she saw Zhang Ling's stretched smile, she turned around and left with peace of mind.
The next day, the first rays of sunlight in the morning rushed in through the cracks in the curtains, shining on her tender and rosy cheeks with a faint smile.
It seems that Zhang Ling must be having a beautiful dream.
The ringtone of an incoming call rang in her ear, she reached out reluctantly, subconsciously pressed the answer button, and then put the phone to her ear.
"Hey, Lingling, are you okay? It was so scary last night. If I hadn't run so fast, I would have learned my uncle's incredible nagging skills again. Now that I think about my sisters, I'm sweating all over."
As usual, Yan Yuan called him early in the morning to find excuses after doing something bad.
Zhang Ling was not surprised, so she threw her phone aside and remained silent. Firstly, she wanted to enjoy the sweet feeling of lying in bed for a while longer, and secondly, she also wanted Yan Yuan to take the initiative to admit her mistakes and apologize.
Yan Yuan didn't hear the answer and thought she had dialed the wrong number, so she checked carefully and continued:
"Are you angry? Oh, Lingling, you should know me. You really can't blame me for this. It's because my uncle is too nagging, and I'm afraid. If you still don't feel relieved, come out now, and I will stand in front of you and let you
Give me a good beating and never fight back, okay?"
Yan Yuan thought that for this reason, Zhang Ling should have a reaction.
But what Yan Yuan didn't expect was that the call was interrupted. She was obviously panicked and quickly called back, but only heard the prompt tone of "The phone has been turned off."
"It's over, it's over! It seems that Zhang Ling is really angry this time." She slapped her mouth and blamed herself, "It's all my fault for my bad mouth. Why did I tell that thing out last night?
?”
Zhang Ling didn't know how long she slept after not hearing Yan Yuan's voice.
She was thinking about her meeting with Li Xiang today. She suddenly opened her eyes and wanted to check the time on her phone, but unexpectedly found that the screen was not lighting up and the battery was out of power.
Looking at it, it was already past ten o'clock, and she was a little surprised why her father didn't wake her up before nine o'clock for breakfast as usual.
She charged her mobile phone and opened the bedroom door, calling loudly: "Dad, why didn't you wake me up today?"
She received no response, and immediately felt anxious. She quickly checked to see if her father was not in the bedroom, and heard a knock on the door.
She looked a little anxious, smiled and shouted: "Come on, Dad, you went somewhere early in the morning and didn't go out without the key. Now you have locked yourself out."
As soon as she opened the door, she was unprepared to be hugged tightly by Yan Yuan, who sobbed in her ear and said to her: "Lingling, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those words to my uncle last night."
Zhang Ling was hugged and apologized unexpectedly. She was so shocked that she almost didn't react for a moment, and then she smiled, thinking that it was a good time that her phone had run out of battery.
She pretended to be indifferent and replied: "Oh!"
Yan Yuan continued with complaints and reluctance in her voice: "But you are too bad. Why did you hang up the phone while you were talking, and then turn it off completely after calling again? Why do you have to break off the relationship with me?
?”
She deliberately wanted to tease her and pretended to be indifferent: "Breaking off the relationship? This is something you can consider."
"You..." Her back was beaten intensively by Yan Yuan's hands, and she cried even more panicked, "No, no, our sisterhood for many years, how can you just break it off like this? I don't agree!"
"Ahem..." She reflexively coughed a few times, then pushed Yan Yuan away hard and said, "It hurts! If you don't agree, just don't agree. Yan Yuan, what are you doing? I don't know that my hands are strong.
Come here early in the morning to commit murder!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Why don't you hit me a few times?" Yan Yuan said, grabbing Zhang Ling's hand and saying hello to her body.
Zhang Ling just likes Yan Yuan's straightforwardness. She doesn't have the complicated thoughts of ordinary girls. She can rest assured when dating a girl like this.
"Stop it! You're hurting me." She tried several times but couldn't break free, and said helplessly, "Okay, you barbarian, let go, I forgive you. My hand hurts so much!"
Yan Yuan let go of her hand, wiped away her tears, and smiled again: "Lingling, why are you still unwilling to take revenge? You are so hypocritical."
"Barbarian, go ahead." Zhang Ling rubbed the sore area, turned and walked into the house, while continuing, "You want me to take revenge? I think you are deliberately ravaging me. Look, I
My wrists and hands are all red and swollen from you."
When Yan Yuan heard that he was forgiven, his expression relaxed a lot, but he stood at the door and looked in, but did not dare to take a step forward.
"Yeah?"
"If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself." After saying that, Zhang Ling obviously felt that the voice was a little too far away, and then turned to look at Yan Yuan at the door and said, "Why are you standing at the door? Why don't you come in quickly and help me apply medicine."
Yan Yuan smiled bitterly and lowered his voice: "Well... uncle isn't at home?"
Zhang Ling smiled when she saw Yan Yuan acting like a thief at the door.
moment!
My father walked towards home feeling a little disappointed, recalling the image of Aunt Wang apologizing in his mind.
"Old Zhang, in fact, the blind date was not your daughter's, but a female Ph.D. who studied abroad and taught. I'm sorry! I made a mistake and made your happiness in vain. But please don't worry, next time..."
He had always thought that Zhang Ling's trouble yesterday was just an excuse for her unwillingness to get married.
The truth was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.
Suddenly, the words Yan Yuan mentioned last night flashed in my mind.
"Could it be that Yan Yatou is telling the truth! Lingling has indeed found a boyfriend. That's why she rejects the blind date arranged by him. No, no, I must find a chance to see who this man is? I can't let that happen.
My daughter was cheated."
Parents have always been such strange creatures.
When their daughter has no marriage partner, as long as a man comes out and says he is willing to marry, they will happily pack their daughter up and send her to the bridal chamber.
But when their daughters have someone to marry, they often take their ancestral picky skills to the extreme and embarrass the other party, for fear that their daughter will be deceived.
At this time, my father suddenly looked up and saw a heavily armed man riding a bicycle and passing by quickly.
In order to avoid his unstable center of gravity, he stumbled and fell to the ground, feeling severe pain in his body.
Before his vision and consciousness gradually blurred, it was certain that the man on the bike had already disappeared without a trace.
Hospital emergency!
As soon as my father opened his eyes, he saw a man standing in front of the hospital bed, asking with an unhappy face: "Did you hit me?"
The man looked at his father with an innocent face, waved his hand and explained quickly: "Uncle, you are wrong, I was the one who sent you to the hospital."
"I know, you must have hit me first and then sent me to the hospital pretending to be kind." The father pretended to be angry.
"Ah?!" The man quickly backed away. The father thought he was going to take the opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly he heard the man standing in the corridor shouting, "Doctor, doctor, come quickly! The patient woke up, but he felt like there was something wrong with his brain.
.”
The father looked at the man's reaction and was secretly happy. Unexpectedly, this man had a good heart. Faced with misunderstandings and difficulties, he did not worry about his own gains and losses and fled quickly. Instead, he was thinking about his safety.
He suddenly had an idea. The man in front of him was handsome and kind-hearted. He was definitely a good match for his daughter. A man who was patient and kind to the elderly would definitely do the right thing in treating his wife in the future.
The doctor came, and even though my father repeatedly said that he was in good health, he could not escape being examined from head to toe.
"Well, there is indeed nothing wrong with the patient." The doctor straightened up and said with a sigh of relief.
"Look! I said it was fine. You just don't believe it." The father was relieved, and then looked at the man with admiring eyes and said, "I just made a little joke with this young man. Young man, don't mind!
"
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, then showed a relaxed smile and said: "It's okay, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved."
The doctor calmed down for a few words before turning and leaving.
The father continued: "Young man, are you married? Do you have a girlfriend? I happen to have a daughter..."
The man was really shocked by his father's words. What does this mean?
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the man's ear, directly interrupting his father's nagging.
"Dad, how come you are in the hospital all of a sudden after everything is fine? Where is the injury? Is it serious?"
The man looked a little excited as he watched Zhang Ling rush to the bed, clutching his father's hand tightly with both hands, looking nervous.
"The doctor checked and everything is fine."
"That's good, you scared me to death." Zhang Ling stood up in relief.
"Lingling, I was knocked down by a cyclist. The perpetrator ran away, but fortunately this kind-hearted young man sent me to the hospital." The father looked at the man with grateful eyes.
"Really, then my daughter should thank him properly."
The father raised his hand and pointed at the man and said, "Look, it's him!"
When the two people's eyes met, Zhang Ling said in surprise with the man: "It's you!?"
