New Year's Eve is a time to stay awake. Every New Year's Eve since childhood, Ye Zhenzhen and her brother couldn't stand it any longer just after twelve o'clock.
Father Ye has remained unchanged for decades. Every New Year’s Eve, he sits in front of the TV and watches until dawn.
Without waiting for the children to get up, they lit firecrackers on time in the dark northwest morning.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, the white snow outside the small courtyard was covered with red firecrackers.
Firecrackers cannot be set off in Yuncheng this year, and the old rules of staying up late must still be followed.
Everyone was sitting in the living room chatting, and the family was full of joy.
Relatives who have not seen each other for a long time always have endless topics to talk about. Ye Mao happily shares every detail of his life with his parents, and they all talk happily.
Ye Zhenzhen sat aside and replied to messages from time to time. She knew that the customers were sending messages in bulk but she still wanted to thank them. It would be rude to ignore them.
Ye’s mother didn’t want to mention Ye Zhenzhen’s marriage anymore, so she inquired about her daughter’s work situation and asked, “Zhenzhen, how much money can you make in a month now?”
< p> Ye Zhenzhen thought about it in her mind and answered truthfully: "On average, it should be ten thousand."According to Ye Zhenzhen's understanding, most store managers in the company can get this salary, and their performance There are many good store managers with an annual income of over 200,000 yuan.
The authenticity of this data is beyond doubt, and the source of the information is Wen Baijing.
Father Ye and Mother Ye were obviously relieved when they heard this. Although shopping guide is not a respectable profession, fortunately the income is not low.
Mother Ye looked around the room and her voice was a little low: "The rent here is not cheap, right?"
Rao Shi's parents have never seen the world again, comparing the rents of Ye Mao and Ye Zhenzhen houses, I probably figured out that the rent here is a bit expensive.
Ye Mao took over and explained for Ye Zhenzhen: "You have been to where I live, and you know what the environment is like. Young single girls live there, if something happens... "
He did not continue. The Chinese New Year is not a suitable time to say unlucky words.
After Ye’s father learned that the rent was two thousand, he couldn’t help but click his tongue. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for the money: "This is too expensive. How much can you save by spending this way? Can you save or not?" Good point."
Ye's mother rarely spoke out to refute her husband, "My daughter's safety is important, Zhen Zhen earns a lot now, so be more expensive."
Ye's father Xie. He glanced at Ye Mu and said nothing.
Ye Mao changed the subject with a wink and talked about his business plan with his parents.
The rent can actually be saved. The days when Ye Zhenzhen can return to Tinglan Garden are numbered, and Wen Baijing also asked her to move there completely several times.
Ye Zhenzhen would rather spend more money every month than check out. She wanted to leave a way out for herself, so that if anything happened to Wen Baijing one day, she would not end up living on the street.
Previously exceededA colleague in the city lived with her boyfriend, and one time they had a quarrel and broke up. The two even clearly separated the pots and pans.
Although I didn’t witness that scene with my own eyes, it sounded funny at first, but after I laughed, I was left with endless sadness.
When I love you, I can fight through mountains and fires for you, but when I don’t love you, I have to fight every cent for you, for fear of suffering a loss.
Before her parents returned to their hometown, Ye Zhenzhen accompanied them to visit the surrounding areas during their vacation. Wen Baijing asked the driver to take them to the scenic spot. Ye Zhenzhen was worried that she would not be able to explain to her parents, so she could only thank her.
The night before leaving, Mother Ye and Ye Zhenzhen were leaning on the bedside and chatting. Almost all of them told their daughters to take care of themselves and work hard.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't bear to interrupt her mother's nagging instructions. Both her parents were farmers who were not good at talking and could not say anything nice. She had not been able to see him for several years after she left home, and she couldn't help but feel sore at the thought of this.
Seeing that her daughter was silent, Mother Ye was still uneasy and asked suspiciously: "Zhen Zhen, tell the truth to your mother, are you with a man who has a family..."
It is clear that she has a boyfriend but she doesn’t mention it at all, and she is so secretive that she doesn’t bring him to meet her parents, which inevitably makes people think too much.
Ye Zhenzhen understood that her parents were mistaken, and explained in a dumbfounded voice: "I didn't, mom, don't worry, I won't do such a thing."
Zhinu Mo Ruo Mother, Mother Ye still heard something unusual in her words, and asked a little suspiciously: "Your boyfriend has no family, why don't you bring him to see us?"
"Mom, I don't know how. Find a man with a family." Ye Zhenzhen took a deep breath, lowered her eyelashes silently, and said in a weak tone: "I don't have a boyfriend."
I wonder if Wen Baijing heard her say this. angry?
Ye Zhenzhen clenched her fingers for a long time, still undecided to tell the truth to her mother.
Mother Ye sighed, "Zhenzhen, don't lie to us. You are still young and can earn money slowly. Don't do anything for money."
Suddenly there was a ball of cotton The ball was stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
Ye Zhenzhen leaned on her mother's skinny shoulder, her voice slightly choked with sobs: "I won't do such a thing, and I won't do anything for money."
Saying this, She is guilty.
Mother's hands were stroking her hair like dead branches.
Ye Zhenzhen bought a lot of clothes for her parents and bought some local specialties for her parents to take back. It was not easy to come all the way, so she always had to prepare some gifts for close relatives to express her feelings.
Originally, Ye Zhenzhen and her brother had agreed to take a taxi to take their parents to the airport. The family stood at the gate of the community waiting for the taxi, and their parents were holding Wang You's hand to say goodbye.
A commercial vehicle parked in front of us.
Wen Baijing got out of the car and walked up to a few people with a smile, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't expect Wen Baijing's move at all, so she tried to calm down for a few seconds and forced out a forced smile.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Father Ye and Mother Ye were stunned on the spot, unable to realize that Wen Baijing was greeting them.
"This is..." Seeing this, Ye Mao wanted to introduce, but he didn't know what to say. Ye Zhenzhen didn't say anything and he didn't dare to take the initiative.
"Mom and Dad, this is a friend of mine." Ye Zhenzhen answered hurriedly, pretending to be calm and introducing her to her parents.
Wen Baijing did not argue with Ye Zhenzhen, and said considerately: "Get in the car first, in case of traffic jams, don't miss the flight..."
After that, He opened the trunk and quickly put the luggage into the car with Ye Mao.
Ye Mao was a little flattered and kept saying that I could do it myself.
Father Ye and Mother Ye were sitting in the car confused, looking at Wen Baijing from time to time, with a bit of admiration in their eyes.
Wen Bai Jing was dressed as usual that day, still in a suit and leather shoes, with meticulous hair, looking smart and capable.
The external image is of course something you can get by with.
Mother Ye couldn't hold it in any longer, so she laughed awkwardly and asked, "Xiaowen, what do you do?"
It was too obvious to check the household registration. There is no foreshadowing.
As simple as an apple with a rock candy heart without packaging and waxing.
Wen Baijing turned his face sideways and glanced at Ye Zhenzhen with a meaningful look in his eyes. He remained silent and smiled lightly, waiting to see how Ye Zhenzhen would answer.
Before Wen Baijing could speak, Ye Zhenzhen turned around from the passenger seat and said nonsense: "Mom, he is the driver."
"The driver..." Ye Mu's eyes dimmed, and her tone was a bit disappointed.
Not wanting her parents to continue asking questions, Ye Zhenzhen wittily changed the subject, transformed into a caring little cotton-padded jacket, and reminded her patiently: "Mom, be careful when you get off the plane and pick up your luggage. Be careful. Leave your luggage behind."
She has told her this many times.
After saying that, she lowered her head with a guilty conscience and glanced at Wen Baijing quietly, fearing that he would be angry. Wen Baijing looked calm and showed no displeasure.
Ye Mao stared at Ye Zhenzhen, he wanted to see if Ye Zhenzhen would blush if she lied.
Ye Mao didn’t know the specific details of Wen Baijing, but he was not stupid. Ye Zhenzhen told lies like this in front of Wen Baijing. He was lying on Ye Zhenzhen's seat, his eyes stealing glances at Wen Baijing from time to time.
Ye Zhenzhen turned a blind eye to this, rolled her eyes at Ye Mao and ignored him.
After helping my parents check in their luggage at the airport, I watched my parents enter the departure lounge.
The pain of separation of flesh and blood turns out to be not only reluctance but also intolerance. When I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I left home to study. At that time, I was yearning for a distant place and just wanted to have breakfast soon.Get away from your nagging parents.
I just want to be a free bird.
For the first time, Ye Zhenzhen looked at her parents’ backs seriously. Her parents’ shoulders and backs were slumped, and their bones and muscles were also shrunken.
Very different from the parents in my memory.
Time turns out to be so cruel. In the blink of an eye, parents grow old.
Wen Baijing put his arms around her shoulders and said half-jokingly: "When will you be my guide and show me the scenery of the frontier?"
People like him want to Can't go anywhere? Just say something casually to make her happy.
However, it was too impolite to expose others nakedly. Ye Zhenzhen forced a smile and replied: "Okay! It's just that I haven't been to many places in the border area."
Wen Baijing did not give up. asked again: "Do you want to teach me a few words in the minority language?"
When chatting, Wen Baijing occasionally asked Ye Zhenzhen to teach him a few words, but Ye Zhenzhen never refused to teach him. Not intentionally hiding anything.
Not really.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but frown, smiled and patted him, looking a little embarrassed: "I can only say: Hello, have you eaten? And so on, nothing else."
p>
Wen Baijing was even curious, raised her eyebrows, and said in a doubtful tone: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be, your language talent is so poor?"
In fact, she knew more than just these sentences.
Anthropological swear words do not require language talent. You will remember them better if you listen to them once than if you write them twenty times.
Ye Mao spoke slowly from the side, trying to expose her disguise, "She also knows a few other words, but she can't teach you..."
Wen Baijing seemed to Hearing something, her face was full of disbelief, and her tone was crooked: "Really?"
When she met the pig teammate who was causing trouble, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't laugh or cry, she wanted to twist his ears and ask him: " Are you stupid?"
Fortunately, Wen Baijing was there. No matter how heartless Ye Zhenzhen was, she didn't dare to act recklessly. She still wanted to preserve her image, so she could only glare at Ye Mao bitterly.
On the way back, Ye Zhenzhen felt a little uneasy for no reason, wondering if Wen Baijing would settle the score in the future.
Wen Baijing rested his elbows on the car window and said teasingly: "Ye Zhenzhen, you don't even blush when you tell lies now. You are getting thicker and thicker..."
Ye Zhenzhen observed him for a long time and didn't see anything unhappy about him, so she felt relieved. Chong Wen and Bai Jing apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, it's been hard on you today..."
