I found myself funny. I hadn't even figured out whether I was interested in Pei Hehui or not, but I started wondering whether our family backgrounds were equal in all other aspects.
There are so many things happening during this period that have affected me. All I can do now is study hard and create a bright future for myself. Nothing else should be something I think about.
After the graduation party, all the relatives who had rushed back from other places returned to their jobs.
Most of the people in the tribe were brought out by Uncle Yuanzheng and Teacher Ruan, so it was very convenient for them to ask for leave and come back to drink. There were also a small number of people who did not go out with them and went out to make a living and were also very successful.
Later I realized that it was not just a party for my graduation, but also an exchange meeting between the clan members and those who had returned from working outside, which determined how my great-grandfather would arrange the young people in the clan in the future.
Be conservative and stay behind or be brave and go out to seek development.
Pei Hehui came to see me when he was leaving. He told me to tell him when I went to Suicheng and never go alone. If I didn’t find him, it would mean I didn’t consider him a friend.
I nodded and said okay, he is my younger brother, can you please tell me what happened to him?
When I heard the word "friend" from his mouth, I actually felt relieved. At the age of 18, it is the time when we should work hard. We shouldn't think about dating so early.
After seeing off the relatives, I continued to prepare for my lessons and occasionally helped my mother with some work.
A while before I went to school, my biological mother actually came to me and brought a fish, some eggs, and a bag of brown sugar.
"You silly girl, why didn't you tell me that you got into college? After all, you crawled out of my belly, how could I not feel sorry for you? These are specially bought by me to nourish your body, keep them quickly, you don't eat much at home, right?"
I took two steps back and looked at her warily. How did she know that I was admitted to the university and come to my house?
Seeing that I didn't take it, she threw the things onto the dam and started crying, "Oh my, your own daughter doesn't even recognize her own mother. I worked so hard to give birth to you and raised you to this age, and not only did your father divorce me, but he also taught you not to recognize me. I'd rather die!"
"I didn't, I didn't deny you!"
I pinched my thigh and rushed over crying, "Mom, please don't be like this. I got into college, you should be happy. Then my dad said he would stop supporting me when I turned 18. He told me to go out and find a job and pay him back the money he had raised me for all these years, or he would marry me off. Mom, I finally saw you, please save me, I want to go to school, I really want to go to school."
When my mother heard what I said, her face changed immediately and she pushed me aside. "What do you mean you haven't paid it back yet? He voluntarily raised you. Bah! You loser, you should pay it back yourself. Don't blame me. I'm so unlucky to have given birth to a loser like you!"
As she spoke, she stood up and was about to leave. When she was almost out of my dam, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to pick up the fish, a few eggs and a bag of brown sugar and took them away.
After she left, I got up from the ground with a wooden face and brushed off the dust on my body.
This trick was taught to me by Aunt Lanhua. I have practiced it in my mind many times, but I never thought that it would be useful one day.
I hope she won’t come again. Acting is so tiring.
After my parents found out, they went to my biological grandmother's house together, reportedly to ask for child support. They didn't get it, but they said that my biological mother's problem had been resolved.
She said she would never come to see me again, so I should study hard in the future. I need to take control of my own life.
My mother also told me not to listen to my father’s nonsense, that I would always be their daughter, and that no matter where I went, I would always be their concern, and that my father would never be able to let go of his relationship with me.
I just smiled and said nothing. Regardless of whether it happens or not, I live my life for myself. It is impossible for me to rely on my elders and parents when I become an adult.
Although it was a different story when I was in school, ever since my dad said I was a child he picked up and brought home, I have been keeping track of every penny he spent on me.
Although such repayment is unequal, I will certainly show more filial piety and patience to my parents.
At the same time, this bill is the best bargaining chip for you to reject my biological mother. If you want me to go back and be filial to her, then okay. But please help me pay off the debt for so many years first.
I know my mother too well. When she gets a little tired, she starts cursing, saying that men are useless and cannot give her a comfortable life.
She would not do such a loss-making business if she had to take on debt even if she acknowledged her daughter. Unless one day I could make a lot of money, she would probably shamelessly come up to me again.
Before school started, I went to report to the school and called Aunt Lanhua and the others. They were so busy that they completely forgot that it was the start of the school year. Even Pei Hehui was not in Suicheng.
I don't know why, but I feel a little disappointed. Maybe I feel from the bottom of my heart that Pei Hehui will remember my affairs. After all, he would remember the things I told him in letters for a long time.
He didn't return to Suicheng until some time had passed since I started school and had gradually adapted to college life.
I have a good relationship with several girls in the dormitory. When Pei Hehui came to see me a few times later, they all jokingly asked me if Pei Hehui was my partner.
I denied it and said that he was my playmate since childhood.
They would say "Oh~" and in a teasing tone, they are childhood sweethearts.
I am and he are not.
When I was concentrating on my studies, I noticed that Pei Hehui came to see me less and less frequently, and it seemed like he was dating my roommate.
I can’t describe the feeling in my heart, it’s sour and bloated, as if a whole bottle of vinegar has been spilled, and my whole body is filled with sour smell.
It was at that moment that I began to face my feelings. The friendship I had for him was no longer just that of a childhood playmate. After so many years of companionship, encouragement and help, I had long been accustomed to relying on him and liking him.
What stands between us, besides the difference in our backgrounds, is my inferiority complex.
Then let's just leave it like this for now. He has his own life and can freely choose his own partner. And I will also work hard to face the sun and find my own warmth and soil, and live a happy life for myself.
As for the person next to me, what does it matter whether he is the one or not?
Before I met Pei Hehui, I felt that I had completely let it go. Even if he stood in front of me, I could treat him as my playmate since childhood and as a very good friend.
But when he and his roommate stood in front of me like that, I couldn't help but tear up.
No, if I cry because of this, will I still be able to get along with him in the future?
I ran away before the tears fell, but I never expected that he would abandon his "girlfriend" and chase after me.
