Today is the happiest day for Zhang Li in the past few months. She was so happy that she couldn’t even fall asleep. After get off work, she went to the vegetable market to buy side dishes and a box of beer. She had to wait for Lu Shanmin and Huang Mei is back and everyone has a good celebration.
Although Chen Kun felt guilty about Huang Mei, he was also happy from the bottom of his heart that the matter was finally resolved today. Although Zhang Li still didn't look good on him, he still went to buy some. After snacks came back, Zhang Li and Lu Shanmin were waiting for Lu Shanmin and Huang Mei.
I waited until one o'clock in the morning to hear the sound of the door opening. When the key opened the door, Zhang Li had already rushed up and opened the door.
She was wondering how Lu Shanmin happened to come back with Huang Mei. When she saw Lu Shanmin's numb expression, the bulging money bag in his hand, and the faint traces of tears on Huang Mei's face, she couldn't help but frown.
"Let's talk after you come in."
Getting aside, Lu Shanmin sat directly on the sofa, while Huang Mei walked directly into the bedroom.
Zhang Li and Chen Kun were both puzzled and didn't know what happened.
Zhang Li looked at the bulging money bag in Lu Shanmin's hand and asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Shanmin sat there in a daze, without saying a word. Having known Lu Shanmin for so long, I have never seen Lu Shanmin so depressed even when the contractor took the money and ran away. Asked anxiously again, "What's going on?"
The bedroom door opened, Huang Mei walked out with her suitcase, looked at the three of them, her eyes turned red again. There are so many words in my heart, but I don’t know how to speak them.
"Lili, I'm leaving."
Zhang Li opened her mouth in surprise, stood up and grabbed Huang Mei's hand, "Huang Mei, what are you doing?"
Lu Shanmin knew that Huang Mei could no longer stay after such a thing happened. Although she thought her behavior was not wrong, she also knew that she would not be able to face Lu Shanmin next, let alone Zhang Li. Going away is a relief for everyone.
Lu Shanmin lowered his head and said in a firm tone, "Let her go."
Zhang Li turned to look at Lu Shanmin in disbelief. In all the time she had known Lu Shanmin, she had never seen him speak to her in such a firm tone. That tone was like that of the head of the family. Making the final decision seemed like an unquestionable order, and his hands relaxed unconsciously.
Huang Mei's tears burst out of her eyes, and she burst into tears. She hugged Zhang Li and said with a choked voice, "Lili, you will always be my good sister." After saying that, he held his suitcase and walked out the door without looking back. It wasn't until the door slammed shut that Zhang Li came back to her senses. Her eyes were already slightly red, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. Sisters who have been in the same dormitory for four years have bunk beds in the same dormitory in college. They even slept in the same bed for several months in Donghai, ate and lived together, and supported each other. I thought of sharing weal and woe together, but I never thought it would be such a bleak parting.
This is the excitement of life. You can never predict the beginning, let alone the beginning.ending. Thinking back to a few months ago, when I just walked out of the mountains, I didn't expect to meet Huang Mei. They lived together under the same roof for a few months. They couldn't be called in love, but at least they shared weal and woe, and they didn't expect to be separated so soon.
When Zhang Li learned the whole story, she didn't speak for a long time. After four years of college, Zhang Li knew Huang Mei very well and knew that she was a girl who loved vanity, but she didn't think it was wrong. How many women in the world didn't love vanity. It's just that after so many years of friendship, it's easy to break up, and it's inevitable to feel sad. Lu Shanmin is right, Huang Mei should be allowed to go. After leaving, the friendship can still be hidden and retained in the heart. If she stays, how will everyone face it? .
Seeing Zhang Li not speaking for a long time, Chen Kun thought that she would not be able to think about it. Although he knew that Zhang Li did not like to listen to what he said, he still mustered up the courage to comfort him, "Lili, Huang Mei is willing to fall, you don't have to Too sad."
Although Zhang Li is a strong and thoughtful person, when something like this happens to her good friend, the pain in her heart is not easy to dissipate. In addition, she already has feelings for Chen Kun. Still angry, this self-destruction is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Zhang Li raised her head and looked at Chen Kun coldly, "Shut up. Huang Mei is your classmate and your friend. Do you still have any conscience?"
Chen Kun was scolded and became speechless. He froze on the spot, smiled bitterly, turned around and walked towards his bedroom.
Lu Shanmin and Zhang Li were left sitting opposite each other in the living room, silent.
After a long time, Lu Shanmin broke the dull atmosphere. "Sister Li, all the feasts in the world come to an end."
Zhang Li sighed, "In the past two months, Huang Mei smelled of alcohol every night and didn't go home until late at night. How can any hotel account manager do this every day? In fact, I should have discovered her abnormality long ago. If If I had cared more about her, maybe I wouldn't have come to this point."
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I persuaded her on the way back. As she said, she is different from us."
Zhang Li smiled bitterly, wiped the tears from her cheeks with both hands, and said with a forced smile, "Everyone has his own ambitions. Our life does not allow us to be sad for spring and autumn. We still have to eat, and we still have to walk. ".
Lu Shanmin smiled and nodded. Among all the girls I know, Zhang Li is undoubtedly the strongest one. She can always calm down her emotions quickly without the need for others to comfort or enlighten her.
Lu Shanmin changed the topic, took out the 10,000 yuan given by Zhang Li from his bag and returned it to her. After talking about Zhang Li's recent work affairs, Zhang Li knew that Lu Shanmin wanted to change the topic and comfort her in disguise. In fact, there is no need for Lu Shanmin to comfort her. She has long been accustomed to withstanding all kinds of blows, just like what she said. They still have to eat, and they still have to walk, so we can’t tolerate them being sad for the spring and autumn.
"Mountain people, what are your plans next?"
"Uncle Dali told me yesterday that he took another job and will start work next Monday."
Zhang Li frowned, "What do you think?"
"The work on the construction site only requires some effort. I don't have anything else, so I still have enough strength. Besides, I can earn a lot more. Uncle Dali also said that he would teach me the craftsmanship and learn it for a year and a half. Maybe I can do it." If you become a master like him, your income will be even higher."
Zhang Li nodded and said earnestly, "Mountain people, I'm a few years older than you, and I'm from the same hometown. I want to talk to you as my sister, don't you suggest it?"
Lu Shanmin didn't understand why Zhang Li spoke to him so formally. When he heard her comparing herself to her sister, he felt warm in his heart. "Sister Li, thank you."
"Mountain people, we have known each other for several months. On the surface, we have been taking care of you during this time. In fact, you have gradually become the backbone of this family. Chen Kun and Huang Mei, I and you My opinion is different, I think you are not an ordinary mountain man, I even have a hunch that in the near future you will make us dwarf you."
Lu Shanmin looked at Zhang Li in surprise. He did not expect that Zhang Li would have such a high opinion of him. Zhang Li was a genuine undergraduate, with a higher academic qualification than the college students from the finance college outside the alley. He is just a mountain man who graduated from elementary school.
Seeing the disbelief on Lu Shanmin's face, Zhang Li continued, "College is just four more years of study at school. There are many four years in life. As long as you work hard to catch up, you can't make it back." What’s more, during those four years, many things can’t necessarily be learned only in college.”
"You are attentive enough. We didn't notice how the bag was lost on the train, but you did. You are brave enough. No matter if you are facing the aggressiveness of cousin Chen Kun or the domineering attitude of Chen Ran, you are always there. You are confident enough to stand up. The three of us feel hesitant and inferior because we come from small cities, but you don't mind your identity as a mountain dweller. You are able to practice calligraphy for more than ten years. Being able to calm down and persevere in such an environment is something none of us can do.”
Lu Shanmin looked at Zhang Li blankly. He had always done what he thought he should do. He never expected that in Zhang Li's eyes, he would have so many advantages.
Zhang Li smiled and then said, "What you lack is just a lack of understanding of this world and the people in this world."
Lu Shanmin smiled and shook his head, "Sister Li, you are flattered. What you said may be right, but I am still a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school. In addition to being able to barbecue and have brute strength , don’t understand anything.”
"So I think you should have a long-term plan"
"Long-term plan" Lu Shanmin looked at Zhang Li in confusion.
Zhang Li nodded, "Now you and I both have more than 10,000 yuan left in our hands. We don't have to worry about eating and sleeping like before. You are only twenty years old. At this age, there are many People are still in school. I think you should seize the time to learn more while you are young. Working on a construction site will indeed bring you a good income in the short term, but you should not only care about the immediate gains and losses when doing things.It’s never too late to make money. ”
As a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school, my study has long been fixed on attending elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. I never thought that I could learn something now. What?
Lu Shanmin frowned. Zhang Li just said that she was confident enough and didn't mind Shanmin's identity. In fact, she was not entirely right since Bai Ling was admitted to college. Lu Shanmin looks up to it with admiration, but is also a little afraid to approach it. To him, college is undoubtedly full of mystery.
"Sister Li, what should I study?"
Zhang Li looked at Lu Shanmin lightly, "What are you interested in?"
Lu Shanmin lowered his head and pondered. He grew up in the mountains and only hunted since he was a child. In addition to practicing calligraphy, He was making dumplings with Lao Huang, and he also read a few of his grandfather's thread-bound Four Books and Five Classics. Apart from being interested in Bai Qingcheng in the mountains for so many years, he couldn't think of anything else that interested him.
Lu Shanmin shook his head in frustration, "I have nothing that interests me."
Zhang Li smiled and said comfortingly, "It doesn't matter. Think about it again and tell me when you think about it." I still have some experience in this matter."
Lu Shanmin raised his head and said, "Sister Li, what do you think Tunghai University teaches?"
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment , Unexpectedly, Lu Shanmin mentioned the highest university in Donghai as soon as he opened his mouth, "I don't know exactly what it teaches, but Donghai University is a comprehensive university with many disciplines, such as medicine, law, economics, biology, computer science, Environmental science, etc."
Lu Shanmin opened his mouth wide, patted his head, and said oh, except for the fact that Zhang Li sounded like someone studying medicine, he couldn't understand anything else.< /p>
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Thank you, Sister Li, I will consider your suggestion very carefully."
Today is the happiest day for Zhang Li in the past few months, so happy. She couldn't even sleep. After get off work, she went to the vegetable market to buy side dishes and a box of beer. She wanted to wait for Lu Shanmin and Huang Mei to come back so that everyone could celebrate.
For Huang Mei. Although Chen Kun felt guilty, the matter was finally resolved today, and he was also happy from the bottom of his heart. Although Zhang Li still didn't give him a good look, he still went to buy some snacks and came back, waiting for Lu Shan with Zhang Li. Min and Huang Mei.
Waiting until one o'clock in the morning, they heard the sound of opening the door. When the key was opened, Zhang Li had already rushed up and opened the door.
She was about to open the door. He wondered why Lu Shanmin happened to come back with Huang Mei. He frowned when he saw Lu Shanmin's numb expression, the bulging money bag in his hand, and the faint traces of tears on Huang Mei's face.
"Let's talk about it later." .
Stepping aside, Lu Shanmin sat directly on the sofa, while Huang Mei walked directly into the bedroom.
Both Zhang Li and Chen Kun were confused and didn't know what happened. What happened?
Zhang Li looked at the bulging money bag in Lu Shanmin's hand and asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Shanmin sat there in a daze, without saying a word. Having known Lu Shanmin for so long, I have never seen Lu Shanmin so depressed even when the contractor took the money and ran away. Asked anxiously again, "What's going on?"

Working on a construction site will indeed bring you a good income in the short term, but you should not only care about the immediate gains and losses when doing things. Money can never be earned. Late."
As a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school, my study has long been fixed in primary school, junior high school, high school, and university. I never thought that I could learn something now.
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly. Zhang Li just said that she was confident enough and didn't mind Shanmin's identity. In fact, she was not entirely right. Ever since Bai Ling was admitted to college, Lu Shanmin had looked up to him with admiration, but he was also a little afraid to approach the word "university". For him, university is undoubtedly full of mystery.
"Sister Li, what should I learn?"
Zhang Li looked at Lu Shanmin lightly, "Then what are you interested in?"
Lu Shanmin lowered his head and meditated. He grew up in the mountains and has only been interested in hunting since he was a child. Apart from practicing calligraphy and being made into dumplings by Old Huang, he also read a few of his grandfather's thread-bound Four Books and Five Classics. During his years in the mountains, apart from being interested in dialogue, he also He couldn't really think of anything else that interested him.
Lu Shanmin shook his head in frustration, "I have nothing that interests me."
Zhang Li smiled and said,He said consolingly, "It doesn't matter. Think about it carefully and tell me when you think of it. I still have some experience in learning."
Lu Shanmin raised his head and said, "Sister Li, what kind of things are taught in Donghai University?"
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Lu Shanmin to mention the highest rank in Donghai University as soon as he opened his mouth. School, "I don't know exactly what it teaches, but Tunghai University is a comprehensive university with many disciplines, such as medicine, law, economics, biology, computer science, environmental science, etc."
Lu Shanmin opened his mouth wide, patted his head, and said oh. Apart from the fact that Zhang Li sounded like someone studying medicine, he couldn't understand anything else.
