Chapter 105 Chapter 105 Salted ginger slices are fragrant, spicy and refreshing...
Of course Cheng Yu disliked Fu Yan.
Su Tianli didn't care.
Just like what Fu Yan said - they were on the same path anyway! Fu Yan volunteered to be a free laborer, why should she object?
Su Tianli pulled Cheng Yu into the car.
She found a corner.
I spread the two large straw mats I brought with me on the ground. This kind of straw mat is sold at the transportation point in the satellite city. It is very cheap, only five cents each. It is made by the families of employees in the satellite city using sacks and paper shells they picked up for packaging materials. No matter what material it is, it is made into something like a straw mat, with hay and newspaper stuffed in the middle.
The function of the futon is to serve as a cushion.
Due to the bad road conditions, heavy trucks were shaking violently, and people sitting in the truck bed were thrown around... There were even cases of people breaking bones.
Take a futon to cushion your butt, it will be more comfortable during your journey.
Then, Su Tianli took out two small blankets she bought. This hand-woven blanket is sold exclusively to herders. It is thick and slightly larger than a single bed sheet, which is convenient for herders to sleep on the ground when grazing outside. There is a hole in the middle of the small blanket. During the day, herders use this blanket as a cloak and put their heads through the small hole in the middle of the blanket. In this way, they can wear this blanket as a body, which is windproof, sandproof and warm.
Su Tianli likes this hand-woven blanket very much. It is thick, dense and has beautiful patterns.
She brought two when she returned to the city, and everyone liked them very much, so Su Tianli had to give one to Yao Meiyu and the other to Old Lady Su.
So this time, she bought ten tickets at once!!!
If any relatives or friends like it, she can do them a favor.
At this time, Cheng Yu also took out the kettle...
Su Tianli quickly stopped him, "You can't leave this outside, it will freeze! You have to carry it with you and cover it."
Cheng Yu quickly put the kettle back on his back.
Su Tianli pursed her lips and smiled.
She took out the lunch box from the small cross-body cloth bag she was carrying, opened the lid, carefully picked out a piece of salted ginger, and stuffed it into Cheng Yu's mouth.
Then she took one too.
Thinking about going to Guangzhou, the journey was exhausting.
Su Tianli prepared a weapon to prevent motion sickness in advance - salted ginger slices.
It’s so easy to make!
Peel the ginger and cut it into thin slices, then marinate with salt.
When you put a whole piece of salted ginger into your mouth, you first feel the strong aroma and spiciness of the ginger, then taste the salty taste that is just right, not too salty or too light, and then the strong aroma and spiciness of fresh ginger...
It’s really exciting!
People who suffer from motion sickness can usually feel much better by just holding one pill in their mouth.
At this time, Fu Yan also climbed onto the truck bed holding a cushion.
He glanced at the truck bed - most of it was filled with supplies, and in the remaining small space, there were two or three travelers besides Su Tianli and Cheng Yu sitting in the corner.
Fu Yan walked to Su Tianli as if no one was around, put down the cushion and sat down.
Su Tianli: ???
Cheng Yu:!!!
Cheng Yu was so angry that he said to Su Tianli: "Lizhi, let's switch places!"
And then——
Another man climbed onto the truck bed.
The man smiled with eyes curved, and greeted Su Tianli and Cheng Yu, "Lizhi, Xiaoyu! We meet again."
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu were stunned.
——The person who came was Xu Jiaxi!
Su Tianli asked curiously: "Aunt Xu, you..."
She knew that Xu Jiaxi was also leaving today, but she always felt that Xu Jiaxi would leave in a special car.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaxi actually chose to travel by hitchhiking?
Xu Jiaxi smiled generously and said, "I'm going to take a ride to Alan County to transfer. This year I'm staying at the Zhada outpost in Ali during the Spring Festival... I think since I want to experience life at the grassroots level, I should start now!"
Su Tianli said worriedly, "Are you going alone?"
Xu Jiaxi glanced at Cheng Yu and replied to Su Tianli with a smile, "I originally wanted them to go back to Guangzhou directly, but they refused because they were worried that something might happen to me alone. Then I also felt that they had been with me for a long time... If I let them leave rashly, it would actually affect their livelihoods."
"So they came with me, now, in the next car."
Then, Xu Jiaxi explained sheepishly: "...There is only one seat left in your car."
Su Tianli understood that Xu Jiaxi wanted to take advantage of their last chance to travel together to get closer to Cheng Yu.
"Aunt Xu, please come and sit down." Su Tianli said.
Xu Jiaxi came over and went straight to Cheng Yu.
Su Tianli instructed Cheng Yu, "Before the car starts, go buy a few more cushions. Give one to Aunt Xu, and one to each of the other two security guards and the nanny."
Cheng Yu quickly jumped out of the car and ran to buy a futon.
It was not until this moment that Xu Jiaxi saw Fu Yan and was stunned.
Fu Yan greeted Xu Jiaxi calmly, "Hello, Aunt Xu."
Xu Jiaxi didn't expect Fu Yan to be there, but she didn't want to meddle in He Jingdong's affairs. She just nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting to Fu Yan.
And Fu Yan was not surprised by Xu Jiaxi's coldness.
Su Tianli reminded Xu Jiaxi, "Aunt Xu, if you are going to Ali, you must bring some medicine with you."
Xu Jiaxi was confused, "What?"
Su Tianli sighed, "The altitude in the Ali region is very high. You and the uncles and aunts accompanying you must pay attention to altitude sickness."
Obviously, Xu Jiaxi knew nothing about this.
"Altitude sickness? What is that?" She looked confused and murmured, "What should I prepare?"
Su Tianli sighed, took out a notebook and pen from her small bag, and began to write down the names of the medicines and the things to pay attention to in the plateau area.
As she wrote, she talked...
Xu Jiaxi was silent.
After a long while, Xu Jiaxi said sullenly, "Xiao Yu is right. I am indeed... too pretentious and not down-to-earth enough!"
"I didn't know anything about this!"
"So those... the soldiers of the Corps stationed in Ali, and the employees of various units guarding the border in Ali... they are really working hard!"
"Not only do they lack food and clothing, but it's also freezing cold! If they don't do anything, they'll be half dead! But they still have to train and work... It's really not easy!"
As he spoke, Xu Jiaxi became more and more moved.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Fu Yan! Fu Yan——"
As soon as Su Tianli heard the voice, she knew it was He Wanqian coming.
However, Su Tianli's hands couldn't stop.
She continued writing in her notebook...
He Wanqian ran to the truck bed, holding a bundle high in her hand.
She saw Fu Yan at a glance and smiled immediately, "Fu Yan! Didn't I tell you yesterday that you should call me before you leave? If dad hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had already gone to see him..."
He Wanqian handed the bag to Fu Yan, "There are meat buns in here. I bought them in the cafeteria. Take them and eat them on the way!"
"Call me when you get back to Guangzhou..."
"By the way, send me some money too! Then my dad and I won't have to live so tight here."
"Fu Yan, we can't celebrate the New Year together this year, but you still have to do what you did before... you still have to help my dad's relatives and continue to maintain social connections..."
"After the snow melts in March next year, you have to come here to pick me and my dad up."
"Remember to write to me..."
At this point, He Wanqian finally noticed that the young girl sitting next to Fu Yan was actually Su Tianli???
He Wanqian was stunned.
She suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
She wanted to question Fu Yan...
But before she could open her mouth, she saw Fu Yan's cold expression, disgusted eyes and confrontational attitude;
as well as,
She also noticed that Su Tianli didn't take her seriously at all!
——Su Tianli was writing something anxiously.
She was sitting in the bed of the truck, her knees bent, her notebook on her lap, writing rapidly.
He Wanqian exploded all of a sudden!
She thought: No wonder Fu Yanfei wanted to leave! It turned out that it was really for Su Tianli!
No wonder Fu Yan was looking at her with such hatred and refused to take the food she handed over! It turned out to be because Su Tianli was there!
He Wanqian was so angry that she gasped heavily and turned her gaze to Su Tianli.
In her opinion, Su Tianli's ignoring her at this moment was a humiliation to her!
Why is this person like this?
Is it that other people’s husbands smell particularly good?
How shameless!
But at this moment, Su Tianli still ignored He Wanqian.
After she finished writing down the things to pay attention to in the plateau area in her notebook, she carefully tore it off and was about to hand it to Xu Jiaxi.
He Wanqian couldn't bear it any longer, and threw the bag in her hand towards Su Tianli!
but--
Fu Yan was sitting next to Su Tianli, how could he let anything happen to Su Tianli?
So he stretched out his arms and caught the bundle steadily.
"I understand. You can go now!" Fu Yan said coldly to He Wanqian.
He Wanqian was so angry that she laughed, "You want me to leave? Fu Yan, do you have any shame?"
Fu Yan was so annoyed when he saw her expression change again that he just turned his head away.
When He Wanqian saw him like this, she became even angrier, "Fu Yan! You are so... ungrateful!"
She pointed at Su Tianli and questioned Fu Yan, "Is this the reason you have to leave here? You still have the nerve to use the excuse of saving money!"
"You two are such an idiot——"
Fu Yan jumped out of the car directly, stuffed the bag of food into He Wanqian's arms, and said coldly: "Then go back to Guangzhou!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Wan-qian Ho: …
For her, she was ready for a big fight, and she had even said half of the curse words.
result--
Fu Yan didn't respond at all and just left?
He Wanqian was confused.
She was stunned for a while.
Hesitating between the two choices of "staying and scolding Su Tianli" and "hurrying up to catch up with Fu Yan";
Then he was wavering between the two choices of "I will go back to Guangzhou but the factory will chase me for debts" and "Fu Yan will rekindle his old relationship with Su Tianli when he returns to Guangzhou"...
In the end, Su Tianli's sarcastic look made He Wanqian collapse!
She was about to start scolding, but suddenly she realized - the person sitting next to Su Tianli was Xu Jiaxi?
He Wanqian shut up instantly.
In past and present lives, Xu Jiaxi has always been indifferent to He Wanqian.
But He Wanqian still...
From the beginning to the end, she felt that Xu Jiaxi had a natural blood suppression on her.
In front of this real white, rich and beautiful woman,
He Wanqian can only feel ashamed of herself.
So, He Wanqian, who had a ferocious look with grimace just now, turned into a ashamed, restrained and obedient daughter the moment she saw Xu Jiaxi.
"Mom, why are you here? Are you going back to Guangzhou too?" He Wanqian asked Xu Jiaxi timidly, "…If you are going back to Guangzhou, then, then take me and my dad with you."
——Anyway, whenever you go out, there will be a special car to pick you up.
After saying that, He Wanqian looked at Xu Jiaxi expectantly.
Xu Jiaxi frowned and said, "I'm not going back to Guangzhou...I'm going on a business trip."
Then she said to He Wanqian calmly, "Don't call me mom anymore. I'm afraid my son will be unhappy when he hears it."
"Wanxi, I don't like you or your parents. Let's not meet again."
"Even if we meet again, don't say hello to me."
"Let's just be strangers from now on!" said Xu Jiaxi.
He Wanqian's face turned pale instantly.
Since her rebirth, she has been trying to please Xu Jiaxi and He Jingdong.
He Jingdong is her biological father and has always favored her, so she doesn't need to put in too much effort.
So He Wanqian spent a lot of time and effort on Xu Jiaxi.
But in the previous life, Jiang Yao died a year later in 1979, and it was also Xu Jiaxi who rushed to the Northwest to pay his respects, angering He Jingdong. In the end, Cheng Yu and He Wanqian's life stories were revealed to the world...
What He Wanqian wants to change in this life is Xu Jiaxi's attitude towards her.
He Wanqian just wanted to try her best to prove that "the grace of giving birth is greater than the grace of raising a child".
So for the past six years, she really paid her respects to Xu Jiaxi day and night through the nanny.
Over the years, she used one-third of the money she earned from work and embezzled from the company to support Fu Yan and Fu's relatives, one-third for herself, and one-third to honor Xu Jiaxi.
But the problem is that Xu Jiaxi has always been lukewarm towards her...
In fact, the day He Wanqian heard Su Tianli reading from her diary,
She already sensed that something was wrong.
Then she wondered what was wrong.
After reviewing the past, He Wanqian finally understood - in this life, Su Tianli turned into a butterfly with flapping wings, and many things changed.
First of all, it must have been Su Tianli who told Xu Jiaxi that Jiang Yao was seriously ill!
Secondly, her mother Cheng Xi’s Japan notes must have fallen into Su Tianli’s hands... Otherwise, Su Tianli would not be willing to spend money to buy a plane ticket and rush to the Northwest as quickly as possible!
so,
He Wanqian’s hatred for Su Tianli reached a new level!
——If it weren’t for Su Tianli’s interference, her mother Cheng Xi and her father He Jingdong’s plot against Xu Jiaxi would not have been exposed!
Then the relationship between her and Xu Jiaxi's adoptive mother and adopted daughter could at least be a face-saving one.
Sometimes when they were walking outside, Xu Jiaxi didn't really need to say hello to her;
Whenever she encounters problems, she can simply use the name of Xu Jiaxi to enjoy special treatment!
But now,
Xu Jiaxi actually said such cruel words to her? !
In addition, Xu Jiaxi also knew about the vicious plot of her mother Cheng Xi and her father He Jingdong——
He Wanqian could basically imagine that Xu Jiaxi might make public her divorce from He Jingdong!
By then,
She and her father became lost dogs!
He Wanqian bit her lower lip.
She looked at Su Tianli hatefully...
Then--
He Wanqian was pushed away by someone.
She was furious, put her hands on her hips and was about to curse.
Suddenly saw Cheng Yu? !
"If you want to go up, go up. If not, get out!" Cheng Yu said fiercely.
He Wanqian's fighting spirit, which had just been ignited, was extinguished in an instant.
She shrank aside in grievance.
He also watched Cheng Yu holding a cushion in one hand and supporting the cart with the other, then he got on the cart in a swift and neat manner.
As soon as Cheng Yu got into the car, he found that Fu Yan was gone.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I saw Xu Jiaxi move to the side, as if she was waiting for his futon...
He was happy for the moment and without thinking too much, he walked straight towards Xu Jiaxi and put Bo Tuan down.
Xu Jiaxi was also very happy. She arranged the cushion and placed it side by side with the cushion that Cheng Yu had just sat on.
I sat on it and felt pretty good.
It's much more comfortable than sitting on a bare truck bed.
So she motioned Cheng Yu to sit next to her.
Cheng Yu sat down.
Then,
He felt something was wrong.
——Why did he want to sit between Lizhi and Xu Jiaxi?
He doesn't want to be close to Xu Jiaxi at all!
But he was already seated.
If I get up again and change seats...
Not so good?
Cheng Yu was upset.
Then I thought, fortunately Fu Yan left.
Then he thought, forget it, at least it’s not that bad.
but! ! !
Facts have proved that he should not be happy too early.
Because Fu Yan is back!
He Wanqian stood behind Fu Yan with tears in her eyes, anxiously saying, "...Don't pay attention to her! Don't talk to her! Don't take the same train with her when we get to the county town...Fu Yan! Husband, can you take a different train from her? Okay?"
Fu Yan simply treated He Wanqian as air and ignored her.
He got into the car without even looking at her or responding to anything she said.
He Wanqian clung to the edge of the truck bed and cried, trying to get a response from Fu Yan, while looking at Su Tianli hatefully.
However, she didn't dare to scold Fu Yan now.
He didn’t dare to scold Su Tianli either—after all, Su Tianli had Xu Jiaxi and Cheng Yu by her side!
In the end, she could only sob in grievance.
The soldiers came over to chase them away, "Comrade, please make way... the train is about to leave!"
Just like that, He Wanqian was driven aside.
She watched helplessly as the soldiers closed the fence around the truck bed.
I watched helplessly as the soldier drove the heavy truck slowly...
"Fu Yan! Husband...you have to call me! Send me money! Write me a note!" He Wanqian shouted.
Fu Yan, who was sitting in the truck, didn't respond to her at all.
He Wanqian cried very sadly.
She had a premonition.
She and Fu Yan...may really not be able to go on!
Su Tianli and her group sat in the bumpy car bed.
Slowly left the satellite city.
Xu Jiaxi was a little dazed.
She was in a state of panic.
I don’t know what I’m thinking…
Su Tianli was more worried about Xu Jiaxi. She was afraid that Xu Jiaxi had never ridden in such a heavy truck before and would get carsick due to the extreme bumps.
She put the Fengyoujing, Rendan and the salted ginger slices she had prepared in advance in the most convenient place.
I thought that as long as Xu Jiaxi felt uncomfortable, I would apply some Fengyoujing on him or let him take ginger lozenges or something like that.
I didn’t expect Xu Jiaxi to be in good condition?!
Su Tianli observed Xu Jiaxi for a moment and felt relieved.
Since Xu Jiaxi is fine,
Cheng Yu is not someone who gets carsick.
Su Tianli had nothing to do, so she curled up in the blanket and began to doze off.
Cheng Yu, who was standing by, saw that she wanted to catch up on her sleep.
He consciously gave his blanket to Xu Jiaxi.
Then he hugged Su Tianli in his arms.
Su Tianli rubbed his chest and shoulders several times, finally found the right position, and fell into a deep sleep.
Throughout the whole process, Cheng Yu was patient and let Su Tianli do whatever she wanted.
He even fixed her braids, kept her from pressing down on the blanket, and held her with his arms, squeezing the blanket tighter to keep her warmer...
Until Su Tianli leaned on him, blinking her eyes,
Seems to be asleep,
Cheng Yu lowered his head and looked at her for a long time.
The love in his eyes was thick, like unmovable honey, sticking to the top of Su Tianli's head.
It seems like "There are too many people around, otherwise I would have to kiss her."
Xu Jiaxi saw the intimate interaction between the couple and felt very envious.
After thinking for a while, Xu Jiaxi called Cheng Yu's name softly, "Xiao Yu——"
Cheng Yu turned to look at her.
Seeing her looking at him with tears in her eyes,
He quickly looked away again.
Xu Jiaxi felt sad, but she still forced herself to cheer up and asked, "Xiao Yu, about the future...what do you think about your and Lizhi's future? She is going to stay in Guangzhou to study at Yixian University, but you are going to Northeast University of Technology as a special student. You..."
Cheng Yu frowned, "This is a matter between me and Lizhi. Aunt Xu, can you please maintain a good sense of boundaries with me? Don't interfere in our affairs."
Xu Jiaxi’s face turned pale instantly.
She felt ashamed and uncomfortable, but couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I, I just want to say... I was once as rebellious as you..."
"I also used to think that I was born without love from my father and mother... I even thought that they favored boys over girls. Otherwise, why can my brothers stay with them, but I can't?"
"Looking back, I realized that the only people who could accept me unconditionally were my parents!"
"So Xiaoyu... Mom is begging you, can we discuss anything?"
Cheng Yu glanced at Xu Jiaxi and said, "Aunt Xu, I am different from you."
"You are living in a blessed situation but you don't know how to appreciate it, but I am a child of a poor family who has to grow up early."
“We have different starting points.”
"but--"
Cheng Yu said, "Uncle Jiang advised me yesterday, saying that he hoped I could understand Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, and even more so, he hoped I could understand you..."
Upon hearing Jiang Yao's name, Xu Jiaxi was stunned again.
For no apparent reason, her eyes turned red.
Cheng Yu continued, "Uncle Jiang also told me not to wait until the time when 'the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer around' and then regret not cherishing his family..."
"Aunt Xu, I think I should pass this sentence on to you."
"I'm not the only one you owe."
"The person you owe the most is not me...but your parents!"
Xu Jiaxi was stunned.
Cheng Yu said word by word: "Do you know? Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu talked to me and Lizhi yesterday."
"Their understanding is completely different from yours."
"Aunt Xu, you think that during your childhood, Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu favored boys over girls and were only willing to bring your brothers with them, leaving you far away and letting the nanny take care of you... But from Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu's perspective, their working environment was very dangerous at the time, and you could lose your life at any minute. They believed that boys should endure more tests, but you were a girl and should be well protected..."
"You see, this is the gap between you two."
Xu Jiaxi widened his eyes in confusion.
Cheng Yu continued, "Another thing is your marriage to He Jingdong. In your opinion, Grandma Xu approves of your marriage to He Jingdong, and she even urged you...right?"
When he asked this, Xu Jiaxi's heart tightened.
She suddenly felt a little scared.
I thought, could there be a misunderstanding about this too?
Cheng Yu said, "Granny Xu said yesterday that she had always wanted to have a good talk with you... She wanted to persuade you not to marry He Jingdong. Because she thinks that even if she and Grandpa Xu don't care about He Jingdong's family background and talent, based on the completely different growth environments of you and He Jingdong, you are not from the same world, and you will not be happy together."
Xu Jiaxi was completely stunned!
Cheng Yu continued: "But Aunt Xu, you never gave Grandma Xu a chance."
"Grandma Xu wanted to talk to you countless times, but you always avoided it. Even every time Grandma Xu called you or wanted to find an opportunity to chat with you, you always felt that she was urging you to get married."
"So you decided to marry He Qingdong..."
"Aunt Xu, look, isn't it that the problem between you and Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu is bigger?"
“They are old…”
"But you rarely think from their perspective."
"Aunt Xu, you won't wait until you lose them to regret not cherishing their love in the first place, right? After all, you are their only direct relative."
Xu Jiaxi opened her mouth wide.
At this moment,
After she suddenly realized what was going on, the stabbing pain in her heart made her extremely sad.
She breathed heavily and slowly.
It seemed that only in this way could she slightly relieve the physical heartache she was feeling.
Xu Jiaxi burst into tears.
It was not until now that she realized how stubborn she was and how arrogant she was to the point of stupidity in the first half of her life!
She actually——
I have failed my parents for so long.
Xu Jiaxi held her face with both hands and began to cry.
Cheng Yu ignored Xu Jiaxi.
He looked down at Lizhi's...head.
He was also thinking about what Xu Jiaxi had said to him earlier:
In the future, Lizhi wants to stay in Guangzhou to study at Yixian University, but you want to go to Northeast Polytechnic University as a special student. What will the future be like for you and her?
Cheng Yu didn't know either.
