"Qingyue!"
"Um?"
Mother Jiang looked at her, slowly stretched out the hand that Huo Qianli had just held, and then slowly spread out her palm.
A roll of banknotes lay quietly on the palm of his hand.
At least two or three hundred.
......
"Brother Qianli, why didn't you let me persuade Sister Qingyue again? If I can get a salary of 500 or 600 per month, Sister Qingyue will definitely agree."
After leaving Jiang's house, Gu Haitao looked at Huo Qianli in confusion.
Huo Qianli patted Gu Haitao's shoulder gently, "Because, saying it like that sounds like alms."
Gu Haitao nodded, not quite understanding, and rolled his eyes, "Then why are you giving money to Aunt Gu again? Isn't that even more of a charity?"
Huo Qianli turned his head and looked at him, "Good fellow, you saw me even though I was so secretive?"
Gu Haitao looked pleased, "I was walking behind you when we entered the house, and I saw you reaching into your pocket."
Huo Qianli sighed, "I gave Auntie money because I wanted her to help me persuade your sister Qingyue. Some things are more suitable for her to say than for outsiders."
Gu Haitao frowned and couldn't understand. Brother Qianli didn't even say a few words to Aunt Gu, so how could Aunt Gu persuade him?
......
"Mom, how can you take other people's money!"
In the room, Jiang Qingyue was also shocked when she saw this. She reached out and grabbed the money from Jiang's mother's hand, and was about to chase after Huo Qianli to return it, but Jiang's mother grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't fight with me. I'm not as strong as you."
Jiang Qingyue had no choice but to let Jiang's mother hold her hand. She heard Jiang's mother slowly say, "I know about Officer Huo. Sister-in-law Yang said when she came to see me before. He is a city dweller, a college student, and a state cadre. I see today that he is really good-looking and kind-hearted."
She gently patted the back of her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "You are a perfect match for my daughter."
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Jiang Qingyue blushed and was speechless, "No matter what, I can't accept this money! What kind of people would we be then?"
Jiang's mother was silent, and Jiang Qingyue struck while the iron was hot, "Mom, when I was a child, you and Dad often taught me that a gentleman should earn money in a proper way. I can earn the money myself, so why don't I give it back to him?"
Jiang's mother didn't say anything. She just turned Jiang Qingyue's hand over silently, stroking it gently, and said slowly: "I just don't want my daughter to live such a tiring life."
Her fingertips were pressing on calluses that shouldn't have appeared on a girl's palms.
She looked at her daughter standing under the beam of light, at her innocent young face, "Whether it's right or wrong, it's all my fault. My daughter is so smart and beautiful, she shouldn't have to suffer this."
Jiang Qingyue raised her head.
"Mom, but we really can't just take other people's money for nothing. When Qiuyan graduates from university, life at home will slowly get better. Four years will pass quickly."
Jiang's mother shook her head firmly, making Jiang Qingyue feel helpless for a moment.
At this moment, Jiang's mother spoke again, "If you want me to return the money to him, you can."
Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up.
Mother Jiang patted Jiang Qingyue's hand gently and said, "You go and be the accountant."
.......
Jiang Qingyue walked out of the room and stood in the yard, just in time to see the backs of Huo Qianli and Gu Haitao about to disappear around the corner of the mountain path.
Huo Qianli seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked back. When he saw Jiang Qingyue, a smile appeared on his face and he waved at her.
Jiang Qingyue stared at his smile blankly, looking at the white shirt reflecting her dreams as a girl in the sunlight.
She knew it was not her moon, but for a moment, the moonlight did shine on her.
She lowered her head, looked at the worn-out and ill-fitting shoes on her feet, sighed softly, and slowly walked back to the eaves.
They were a pair of ordinary old sandals, very common in this village. They were like a signal, reminding her of the huge gap between her and him.
For Jiang Qingyue, this is not inferiority complex, but rational self-knowledge.
Just like she resolutely gave up her studies and went home to support the family.
Some things are not about whether she wants to or not, but whether she can or cannot.
She has always been such a rational person.
Looking at the pile of pig grass waiting to be processed beside her, she took a deep breath and got busy.
Just go to Murakami, just do your work and don't think about anything else.
......
Professor He was surprised and happy to learn that Huo Qianli had completed the integration of all three groups. Unlike Han Zhiyuan, he did not analyze and summarize the pros and cons, but immediately began to help contact the pharmaceutical company.
And it just so happened that there was some time off there, so Huo Qianli didn't waste any time and packed up and prepared to leave.
The next day, at dawn, Huo Qianli had breakfast early and picked up Gu Haitao, who was still lying in bed.
Gu Haitao was still mumbling about not studying and not letting people sleep in, but Huo Qianli's simple words, "There's nothing wrong with there being no woman in the bed," made the 18-year-old restless boy's blood boil and he lost all desire to sleep.
"Hey, brother Qianli, both of us brothers are in a bit of a pity!"
Huo Qianli: ???
"If you can't sleep, I can't sleep."
Huo Qianli turned his head and looked at him, "How many days has it been since your father punished you?"
Gu Haitao smiled nonchalantly, hummed a song and ran to wash up.
After a simple breakfast, Gu Daqiang rode his motorcycle to take the two to town.
Gu Daqiang propped up the motorcycle tripod, took out the key and got off the motorcycle, "Son, listen to me..."
When I turned around, Gu Haitao was no longer beside me.
A head popped out from a minibus not far away and waved, "Brother Qianli! Come quickly, I've saved a seat for you!"
