Xue Ling thought carefully for a moment when he heard this and explained: "You are a different type of man from him. He is the kind of white and handsome type, and you are a tough guy and handsome type. The categories are different, so it is difficult to compare."
Her words are the truth.
In modern terms, Xue Heng belongs to the young and handsome boys, while Cheng Tianyuan belongs to the tough guy type, with different standards and difficult to compare.
Cheng Tianyuan asked with a smile on his eyes: "What category do you like? Hum?"
Xue Ling smiled and blurted out: "Do you still need to ask? Of course it's your type! You've got married, so it's too late for you to ask this!"
Cheng Tianyuan raised his lips and smiled happily.
Xue Ling paused, stabbed him in the waist, and asked with a hilarious question: "What? At noon, I saw many women looking at Xue Heng. Are you envious? Or are you afraid that I will be like other women?"
Cheng Tianyuan quickly shook his head: "No, there is nothing to envy."
I added in my heart: I don’t envy you, I’m just afraid... You also like such men.
Xue Ling smiled at his handsome side face and said, "Yes, you don't need to envy you at all. You, although your facial features are not as beautiful as him, you are more attractive and charming, especially your new hairstyle makes your face look good.
More profound and handsome!”
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan was secretly happy.
...
The imperial capital, the suburbs of the south of the city.
In the defeated village, the lights are dotted.
The north wind whistled, the wire bars swayed gently, the paths were intertwined and the debris and garbage were accumulated.
A young woman in a big cotton jacket was wrapped in a big scarf and holding a worn flashlight in her hand, tremblingly walking in the alley.
Her face turned ashen and her eyes were turbid and dull. Perhaps because of it being too cold, she walked very fast.
She came to a dilapidated house, her hands that were so cold that she was trembling that she was shaking into her arms, took out a copper key, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a cold north wind rushed into the house.
She hurried into the house and brought the door with her.
Although she was moving very quickly, the house facing north was most afraid of the north wind, and the house suddenly became cold.
"Cheng Tianfang!! Didn't you see me sleeping?! The house was finally warmer, and as soon as you came in, nothing warmed up!"
Lin Cong wrapped in a quilt, got up lazily, took out a cigarette and started smoking.
Cheng Tianfang stomped his feet, put the flashlight down, and kept whipping and rubbing his hands.
"I... won't I close the door quickly?"
She was very cold, and looked around the messy house and saw the thermos pot on the low table. She quickly stepped forward to pour water - but it was empty.
She had no choice but to go to the kitchen with the thermos pot.
The kitchen was chilly, there was no spark in the old stove, and there was black and gray everywhere.
She had no choice but to put the thermos pot, took the pot in the corner, walked to the small water tank, and took off the wooden lid that had broken a hole, but found that it was empty inside and there was no water at all.
There is no heating in the old city, and it is very cold everywhere. The faucets are mostly frozen and the water cannot be released at all.
If you want to drink water, you have to walk about ten minutes to fetch water from the stone well at the entrance of the village.
At this time, Lin Cong, who was lingering in the smoke on the wooden bed, shouted lazyly: "Hey! What time is it? It's seven o'clock? I'm hungry! Get something to eat!"
Cheng Tianfang grinded his teeth and said angrily: "There is no water at home! Drinking water is a problem! Do you still have to eat?!"
Lin Cong stared at the kitchen and knocked on the ashes.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't have water, go and pick it! If you don't have food, cook it! This is your woman's job, don't expect me to do such vulgar work!"
Cheng Tianfang wanted to have an attack, but his throat was very dry and he couldn't make a noise even if he wanted to. He threw down the pot and carried a pair of iron buckets out again.
The north wind is howling, the night lights are dim, and there is no popularity in the alley except for the occasional night owl meow or two.
She didn't dare to walk slowly, and her body became even colder as soon as she slowed down.
The big cotton jacket on her body was just right, but unfortunately she has lost a lot of weight now. The cotton jacket is loose. Cold Feng is best at drilling into gaps and loopholes. If her steps are too slow, she will become colder and colder.
There are not many people living in the old city, and there are several elderly families living in sporadic places.
She walked past the door of a somewhat bright house, and a woman's shout came from inside: "Mom! Come and see my new sweater! Do you think it's good?"
The happy tone and tone that was as coquettish as she was stunned and she turned to tears.
Next year is New Year's Eve, which is the New Year. In the past, my mother would knit her sweaters and take out the money she saved and buy her new shoes and clothes.
Dad would even discuss with his mother secretly and say he would give her a small red envelope.
When my elder brother comes home, he always brings some delicious food, bacon, rice cakes, and pancakes...
Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip and sobbed softly.
She stole all the money from her family and a lot of money from her sister-in-law. They must have hated her to death.
I thought that following Lin Cong would lead to what he said, "a beautiful, happy and romantic metropolitan life", from then on, marry into a big city and live the life of a noble wife.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, Lin Cong used all his money to bet, and in the blink of an eye, the two became paupers.
She used the silver necklace on her body and rented an old house in the dilapidated old village in the city south of the city for ten yuan a month.
After giving the rent, she bought rice and flour for the remaining money, and then she lost nothing.
Although Lin Cong had no money, he just wanted to be a noble man all day long. He was hungry and shouted to eat, and when he was thirsty, he called her to pour water, and didn't go to work, and asked her to serve him every day.
She was froze and hungry, and had no choice but to go to find a job.
There are many shops in big cities, and you have to have an ID card when you look for a job, and you ask about her cultural level as soon as you open your mouth.
She is only sixteen years old and can only get an adult at the age of eighteen. She can’t read a few words, so where is the culture?
She wanted to work in the factory, but unfortunately, she didn't accept underage workers.
She couldn't find a serious job, so she could only pick up some broken cardboard boxes and other things on the street to sell.
It was less than a few cents a day, and the rice and noodles were eaten, and the two of them began to go hungry.
Lin Cong asked her if there was anything else to sell, and she trembled and found a few brand new cotton jackets and sweaters.
Those were bought by her sister-in-law when she first arrived in the county town, and she and Ouyang Mei went to a department store to buy new clothes.
The pawnshop is only willing to make ten dollars, and he is not willing to make a penny more.
Lin Cong agreed and threw her two dollars. Then he used the excuse to go out to buy cigarettes and ran away. He didn't come back until the next evening.
He spat and cursed: "I had already won more than a hundred yuan, but I didn't expect that I would lose again later..."
She called him heartless and asked him what to do now.
He lazily went to the bed and said angrily: "If you don't have money, go out to make money! Do you still need to ask for questions? Don't worry, I will be rich soon!"
While picking up rags and selling them, she looked for a job, and she wandered around the old city every day, almost like a beggar woman.
A few days later, she finally found a job in a small factory, used a large shovel to add charcoal to the coal stove, and made a meal at noon.
The boss refused to ask her at first, saying that women are weak and this job is not suitable for her.
She cried and said that she would starve to death if she couldn't find a job.
The boss felt sorry for her and finally agreed and promised to let her eat enough at noon and add an extra portion of meat.
