Chapter 02 Chapter 2
Laizi? !
Su Tianli was stunned for a long time before she realized that Su Laizi was her first name.
There are six people in the Su family:
His father, Su Dejun, was an ordinary worker in a chemical factory;
Mother Tian Xiu, a waitress at the chemical plant guesthouse;
The eldest sister is Su Youzi, two years older than Su Tianli, and is 24 this year;
Su Tianli Xinger, whose real name is Su Laizi,
The third child is also a girl, named Su Qianzi, two years younger than Su Tianli, and is twenty years old this year;
The fourth child is the younger brother, his name is Su Tiancai, and he is fifteen this year.
Ever since Su Tianli grew up to understand things, she has been dissatisfied with the name "Laizi".
So she has always insisted on calling herself Su Lizhi since she started school.
Because in Cantonese pronunciation, "lai zi" and "li zhi" have similar pronunciations.
Later, while on her way to the countryside to work as a production team member, she fell seriously ill due to unfamiliar climate and water.
When the people from the Youth League Office looked at the three scribbled words "Su Xzi" on the roster, they frowned and asked her what her name was.
Su Tianli, who was running a high fever at the time, said in a daze, "My name is Su Lizhi..."
"What? What's the second word?"
"Brother? Brother...my brother is called Tiancai." Su Tianli, who was seriously ill, didn't hear clearly and answered weakly.
The other party was stunned and didn't hear what she said clearly, "What? What about Tian? Or Tian... Which word is it? Comrade Su, is your name Tianlizhi? Oh, no, your last name is Su, what is your name? Su Tianli or Su Tianzhi?"
"My name is Su Lizhi..."
"Okay, I understand. Your name is Su Tianli! I'll register you right away!"
Just like that, Su Tianli got a new name without knowing it.
But by chance she liked it very much.
But now, the word "Laizi" has completely opened up her memories of her original family.
Su Tianli looked at the person who came.
The person who came was a young woman, thin and pretty, who gave Su Tianli a very familiar feeling.
Soon, Su Tianli blurted out the name of the girl in front of her, "Ayu?!"
The girl nodded happily.
She is Yao Meiyu, Su Tianli’s classmate in elementary school, junior high school and high school.
Before Su Tianli went to the countryside, Yao Meiyu was her very good friend.
After five years, Yao Meiyu has changed a lot. The young girl has become a graceful young woman.
"Come on..." Yao Meiyu was about to say something.
Su Tianli interrupted her first, "Ayu, I changed my name a long time ago. Now I'm Su Tianli, Tian means sweet and Li means litchi. You can call me Lizhi too."
Yao Meiyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Oh come on... Litchi! It's really you!"
Then she stared at the small bag on Su Tianli's body and asked Su Tianli, "Are you coming back to visit your relatives, or..."
Su Tianli smiled and said, "I've been transferred back."
Yao Meiyu was very happy, "Really?"
Su Tianli nodded with a smile.
"That's great, that's great," Yao Meiyu asked Su Tianli again, "Lizhi, since you went to the countryside, I have written you many letters. Why didn't you reply to any of them? Are you angry with me?"
At first, they had agreed to go to the countryside to work together. Later, Yao's parents found a way to get Yao Meiyu a certificate of poor health, so Yao Meiyu stayed in the city.
Su Tianli was stunned. "You wrote me a letter?"
Yao Meiyu nodded. "During your first year in the countryside, I wrote you at least seven or eight letters! Why didn't you reply?"
She wrote desperately to her good friend, trying to explain why she did not go to the countryside to join the production team, but she received neither a return letter nor a reply, so she really thought Su Tianli was angry with her.
Su Tianli widened her eyes, "I don't know, I've never received a letter from you."
Now it was Yao Meiyu's turn to be shocked. "You didn't receive it? That's impossible! Really... you didn't receive a single one?"
Su Tianli shook her head.
Yao Meiyu murmured, "How could this happen? Back then, you left without even saying hello. I, I thought you were mad at me..."
Su Tianli thought for a moment and asked Yao Meiyu, "Do you still remember my mailing address?"
"Of course I remember!"
As she spoke, Yao Meiyu quickly recited: Jiangxi xxx...
Su Tianli's eyes narrowed slightly.
Jiangxi?!
——Isn’t that the place where Fu Yan and He Wanqian went to the countryside to work in the production team in her dream of “Rebirth of the 1970s Beauty”?
This isn't her address at all!
She went to the Northwest!
Su Tianli was extremely shocked.
She had a guess in her mind, but she wasn't sure, so she asked, "Ayu, where did you hear this address?"
Until Yao Meiyu answered without hesitation, "Your eldest sister gave it to me!"
Su Tianli thought: As expected!
Yao Meiyu had already started to chatter, "Lizhi, you were sick when you went to the countryside, and I was so worried about you! But now you look so good, your skin is white, and you are taller and prettier than before... Lizhi, are you living well on the farm?"
Su Tianli smiled.
Yes, she fell ill a few days before going to the countryside, and she got on the transfer vehicle in a daze before she was fully recovered.
It was only when she was sick and in the car that she realized the final destination was the Northwest.
She was confused at the time, she had always thought that she was going to a rural area in northern Jiangxi to work in the countryside, but she didn't expect it was the Northwest!
After confirming again and again that all her registration documents showed that she was indeed going to the Northwest, Su Tianli stopped hesitating and was just worried. She thought that the journey was so hard, and the destination was the Northwest, where the conditions were the most difficult. She didn't know if she could still arrive in the Northwest alive.
Unexpectedly, her companions took good care of her.
It took us more than a month to get here. During such a bumpy journey, with everyone's care, her illness gradually got better!
When she finally arrived in the Northwest, her leader assigned her to the 109th Youth Farm considering her poor health.
You know, Farm 109 is a model farm in Northwest China!
The leaders and colleagues there were very nice. They knew that she was not in good health and were very accommodating to her.
Later, with the recommendation of the farm, Su Tianli went to the county town to attend a nursing school for one year. She returned to the farm and worked as a nurse, in charge of the work in the infirmary.
So she didn't have to do farm work, at most she would go to the canteen to help out during the busy farming season.
Su Tianli briefly explained her situation.
Of course, she didn't tell Yao Meiyu that the address Su Youzi gave her was a fake one.
Yao Meiyu was overjoyed when she heard this. "As long as you live well over there, that's all! By the way, Lizhi, are you a nurse now? Do you have a qualification certificate and a job certificate?"
Su Tianli nodded.
Yao Meiyu was even happier. "Ahhh! We are so destined to be together. Sooner or later, we will become half-sisters! We can even meet again after being separated for so many years, and we even have the same profession!"
Hearing this, Su Tianli's eyes lit up, "You are a nurse too?"
Yao Meiyu nodded, "I'm going to the district hospital to work a shift now! Lizhi, if you have a transfer order, transfer to our unit! The district hospital is not far away, only six bus stops away from our family compound! I'm in the emergency department, come and join us!"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "It's hard for me to say. I have to go to the Municipal Youth Office to submit my labor relations and transfer order. I'll be assigned to whatever place they want me to be."
Yao Meiyu lowered her voice and said, "I heard from my parents that once the policy of returning educated youth to the city was announced, the city was in a state of panic! All families with a little bit of background were frantically trying to find jobs for their children..."
"Think about it, there will be so many educated youth returning to the city in the future, how many jobs will be needed to accommodate them? So everyone wants to find jobs for their children before a large number of educated youth return to the city!"
"You've come back early, and you're a professional... Don't worry, there's a shortage of nurses right now. See if you can get into the Municipal People's Hospital. If you can't, tell me and I'll ask my mother to transfer you to our district health center." Yao Meiyu said.
Su Tianli asked: "Then why don't you go to the Municipal People's Hospital?"
Yao Meiyu said: "Have you forgotten? My mother and Wang Aiqin are sworn enemies!"
Su Tianli couldn't remember who Wang Aiqin was for a moment...
Yao Meiyu added, "And my dad also said that since we're all nurses anyway, being a nurse at the Municipal People's Hospital would definitely be extremely busy, while being a nurse at the District Health Center would be much more relaxed! What's more, if I went to the Municipal People's Hospital and worked under Wang Aiqin, she would definitely make things difficult for me!"
"Hey, the car is here... Lizhi, I'm leaving first! You wait for me at home. I'm working the night shift today. I'll come to your house to find you at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning! See you tomorrow!"
As she spoke, Yao Meiyu ran after a bus that was slowly pulling into the station.
After getting in the car, Yao Meiyu found a window, leaned out half of her body and waved to Su Tianli, "See you tomorrow, Lizhi!"
Su Tianli smiled and nodded, then waved vigorously at Yao Meiyu, "See you tomorrow!"
After Yao Meiyu left, Su Tianli stood on the platform and fell into deep thought.
Until there were fewer and fewer people on the platform,
Su Tianli then realized that the rainstorm came quickly and went away quickly.
But in a moment the rain disappeared and the sun was hanging high in the sky again.
Su Tianli was also about to leave when she found that she still had two unfinished salted water dumplings wrapped in oil paper in her hand.
She thought it was delicious.
But the "no reply incident" mentioned by Yao Meiyu has made Su Tianli feel bored.
When she raised her eyes, she suddenly found that Cheng Yu was still sitting on the flower bed, motionless, with a blank and numb look in his eyes.
Su Tianli stared at the red mole on his cheek for a while, walked over and handed him the two saltwater horns.
Half a minute later, Cheng Yu's sight slowly focused on these two saltwater corners.
He stared at Su Tianli blankly again.
Su Tianli said: "It's clean, you can eat it!"
Cheng Yu was stunned and didn't react at all.
Su Tianli watched a drop of water dripping down the end of his wet hair, and couldn't help but say, "Next time it rains, remember to find a roofed place to shelter from the rain."
Cheng Yu slowly reached out his hand and took the saltwater horn she handed over.
Su Tianli hugged her small bag tightly and hurried home.
Cheng Yu looked at her quietly until her pretty and slender figure disappeared. Then he belatedly murmured, "...it's raining, so take shelter."
He lowered his head, looking at the golden and crispy fried salted water dumplings wrapped in oil paper in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
