Chapter 117 Chapter 117 I want to be the first to try it...
Su Tianli tilted her head and looked at Cheng Yu.
How to say it,
People of this era are generally introverted.
Even if young men and women are dating, they will be as reserved and serious in public as strangers who have just met.
Su Tianli has never been in love.
I don’t know what young people who are dating do together.
But Cheng Yu beside him, because his skin was too fair, and because he was shy at the moment, his face was rosy, and it was in line with the saying "the face of a man is as red as the peach blossoms"...
Su Tianli reached out and wanted to touch his face.
"Lychee, Su Lichee!!!" Yao Meiyu in the front yard suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs.
Su Tianli was so frightened that she trembled.
He lost control of his hand and slapped Cheng Yu in the face lightly, causing a light "pa" sound.
Su Tianli was stunned.
She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"I didn't mean it just now, Cheng Yu, don't be angry."
"Does it hurt?" Su Tianli asked nervously.
Cheng Yu was also stunned.
To him, his girlfriend didn't do it on purpose, and he had no intention of blaming her.
but,
The kiss that Lizhi gave him just now made him lose control of his emotions.
At this moment, his mind was cleared up by Lizhi's slap.
But the throbbing that had spread earlier could not be relieved in a short time.
He stared at Lizhi blankly, his thin lips slightly parted, his drunken eyes slightly closed, and he kept breathing slightly.
Most importantly, the corners of his eyes were red, and his pupils, half-hidden by thick eyelashes, were full of water waves...
Are there even tiny, crystal-clear tears hanging on the tips of those long, thick eyelashes?
He... cried?!
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu like this and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Of course she knew that Cheng Yu would not really cry just because she hit him by accident.
A person who has suffered a lot since childhood and seen the fickleness of human nature would certainly not cry because of such a small thing.
So, Cheng Yu is still because——
Because she kissed him just now.
Thinking about it this way, Su Tianli suddenly understood——
God!
Her boyfriend is not only good-looking, but also...tear incontinence?
Just thinking about this,
Su Tianli watched helplessly as a tear rolled down Cheng Yu's eye...
Her heart trembled violently again.
"Lizhi! Su Lizhi, come quickly! There's an emergency!" Yao Meiyu's anxious voice rang out.
Su Tianli finally came to her senses and became anxious.
She quickly put down the lunch box in her hand, and was about to tell Cheng Yu to get up and leave.
Unexpectedly, a white shadow flashed before her eyes!
Cheng Yu stretched his neck and moved closer, gently touching the corner of her lips, then quickly shrank aside and lowered his head guiltily.
Su Tianli was stunned for a long time before she reached out her hand in disbelief and stroked the corner of her lips.
ah……
God!
Not only does her boyfriend have delicate and smooth skin, but his lips are also so soft!
And he...
Is his breath so fresh?
Su Tianli read a miscellaneous book.
The book says that love will cause the brain to secrete a kind of dopamine, which will make lovers obsessed with each other's body odor.
so……
"The kiss you just gave me doesn't count," Cheng Yu, who was hiding aside, suddenly said in a low voice, "You, you didn't kiss me on the mouth, so it doesn't count. But I did kiss you..."
"So, that's why I... kissed you first," Cheng Yu mustered up his courage and tried his best to make himself look as justified as possible, "Su Tianli, your first kiss belongs to me!"
However, his face was flushed, and his eyes were so flustered that he didn't dare to look directly at her...
It's so timid and cute!
Su Tianli was stunned for a moment, then she laughed out loud at her boyfriend's strong competitive spirit.
He seems to care about who confessed first?!
Do you really care who kissed who first?!
but--
Cheng Yu's words also successfully aroused her competitive spirit.
In addition, Cheng Yu's whole body is now red, just like a cooked shrimp!
Su Tianli suddenly wanted to hold him down, and then...
Yao Meiyu's voice rang out again, "Su Lizhi! If you don't come to find me again, I'll come to find you!"
Su Tianli had no choice but to stuff the lunch box back into Cheng Yu's hands and hurried to the front yard.
"What's wrong?" Su Tianli asked quickly.
Yao Meiyu could tell at a glance that Su Tianli looked very energetic and her face was slightly flushed.
She rolled her eyes at Su Tianli, scolded her for being a love-hungry dog, and then her face became serious. "Lizhi, Zhang Wei just called and said that the doctor at the Provincial Hospital said that the baby in Ali's belly might not be saved. Now he and Ali are both very panicked. You see, should you go over or should I go over and take a look?"
Strictly speaking, Su Tianli hasn't used up her vacation yet!
I came here to help out today.
Besides, it's better for her to take leave.
After all, Yao Meiyu is a formal employee of the health center, and if she takes leave, her full attendance and quarterly performance bonus will be deducted.
Besides, the supply of vaccines to the unit has been cut off, so it’s nothing to worry about.
So Su Tianli said, "Then Cheng Yu and I will go over and take a look! After you get off work, help A Juan take care of the night market stall, and let Cheng Yu go later."
Yao Meiyu agreed.
In this way, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu hurried to the Provincial Hospital again.
Well, Mao Li was hospitalized to protect the fetus.
But she had a quarrel with Zhang Wei yesterday afternoon. Maybe because women are more sensitive during pregnancy, she cried all night.
When Zhang Wei brought her breakfast in the morning, he wanted to apologize, but Mao Li couldn't suppress her anger and quarreled with him again...
Then Mao Li felt constant abdominal pain and spotting.
Zhang Wei was so frightened that he quickly went to find a doctor.
The doctor asked the nurse to give Mao Li an injection and draw blood for tests. After the test reports came out, the doctor discussed with Zhang Wei and said that the condition of the fetus was not good and recommended that it be removed.
For Zhang Wei, when he realized that he had become like the person he hated the most, he began to doubt himself.
So Zhang Wei couldn't make up his mind whether to keep the child or not.
In fact, he was more worried about Mao Li's health.
But he was also afraid that if he chose not to have children, would Mao Li blame him for not cherishing the fruit of their love?
After much thought, he decided to call Yao Meiyu, hoping to find a friend who had some medical knowledge to help him out.
At this moment, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu came over.
With red eyes, Zhang Wei handed Mao Li's test report to Su Tianli, then pulled Cheng Yu out of the ward.
"Cheng Yu, tell me, what...what should we do?" Zhang Wei asked anxiously.
He then quoted the doctor's words:
"The doctor suggested not to keep the baby, saying the mother's health was not good. If we force the baby to stay... we don't know if it can survive until the baby is ready. If the baby doesn't survive until later in the pregnancy, it will cause more harm to the mother."
"Cheng Yu, I feel so uncomfortable!"
"I hope Ali is in good health..."
"But I was afraid because Ali kept telling me to break up... I didn't want to break up. I thought that if the baby could be born safely, Ali would give me a chance to change for the sake of the baby."
"But I don't dare to gamble!"
"I'm more afraid that if something happens later in the pregnancy, will she be in more pain?"
"Cheng Yu, I feel so guilty! If I hadn't pushed Ali down that day, if I hadn't been making Ali angry, the child might not have been in trouble."
Zhang Wei clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it hard against his heart, crying like a human, "I'm really not a human being!"
Cheng Yu's current level,
It just means that you have jumped from the single class to the dating class.
He hasn't even figured out the rules of when he can hold Lizhi's hand, when he can kiss Lizhi...!
Now Cheng Yu asked him such a difficult question.
How could he answer that?
Cheng Yu thought about it again and again, and said to Zhang Wei: "What you just told me...isn't it very good?"
"Oh sorry, I expressed that incorrectly."
"I mean, what you told me... I thought you were being sincere! You've made your concerns very clear, so why don't you go and tell Maury?"
"How about this, I'll go to the cafeteria and buy you two some delicious food, you two can eat something good, and then we can talk it out."
"As for Mao Li's emotions..."
"Don't worry, with Lizhi around, Mao Li will calm down." Cheng Yu advised.
Zhang Wei nodded.
At this time, in the ward——
Su Tianli looked at Mao Li's test report carefully.
Mao Li lay on the bed, stroking her abdomen weakly, tears streaming down her face.
"Lizhi, tell me, am I...useless?" Mao Li asked.
Su Tianli raised her head and looked straight at Mao Li, "Why do you say that about yourself?"
Mao Li showed a painful expression, "I can't even keep a child..."
Su Tianli said softly: "Mao Li, this is not just your problem. This is a two-way choice between you and your child."
Hearing this, Mao Li exclaimed, "Ah!", somewhat surprised.
This was the first time she had heard such a statement.
Su Tianli held up the test report, pointed out a few values, and said to Mao Li: "From the test report, I think your health is worrying."
"To put it simply - Mao Li, you have been overworked for a long time, and your body simply can't bear it. Under such sub-health conditions, your body is not suitable for bearing a child."
"In other words, this is also the child's choice - it knows you are not ready, so it wants to leave."
Mao Li was stunned.
Su Tianli said softly: "Mao Li, if you want to ask me for advice, then my advice is - listen to the doctor! He is the one who can really give the best answer."
After a while, Mao Li began to sob, "But Litchi, I feel bad... I feel bad in my heart!"
"I originally thought that if I could give birth to this child, or if I never find a partner in this life, I would just live a good life with the child... If someone around here talks bad about me, then I will take the child to Shaoguan Farm!"
"Anyway——"
"I just told people that Zhang Wei and I were married and divorced. Who would be so bored as to come to Guangzhou to find out about my past?"
"I believe I can raise the child by myself!"
"But I didn't expect that this child would also leave me..."
"Lizhi, am I a failure? I met the wrong person, got pregnant before marriage, and... had to have an abortion!"
"Not only am I not destined to be with this child, I don't know how many people will be waiting to laugh at me in the future!" Mao Li said with tears in her eyes.
Su Tianli advised her: "As long as people are trapped in the eyes of others, they will never be able to live out their true selves."
"Mao Li, I am not encouraging you to be a maverick or a heretic who is out of tune with the general psychology of this era."
"But sometimes, you can't care too much about other people's opinions."
"Take me for example. I am a well-known person in the chemical plant... and even in the entire chemical industry. Because I was very young and had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting my family, do you think people pity me... Yes, there are some. But more people want to laugh at me and get a sense of superiority from me."
"They won't praise me sincerely. They will only educate their own children, saying, 'Have you seen Su Lizhi growing vegetables, feeding chickens and going to the market every day? That's the fate of a child who is not liked by his parents! If you don't listen to me, you will be worse off than Su Lizhi' and so on..."
"Mao Li, look, so many people are waiting to laugh at me...but do I need to clear my name?" Su Tianli asked.
Maury bit her lower lip.
Yes,
Just like Litchi said,
——Lizhi has always been a well-known celebrity, but her reputation is indeed not good. Of course, everyone recognizes Lizhi's diligence and ability, but more often, when people mention her, they unconsciously reveal a subtle mentality of inexplicable superiority.
However, litchi seems to have never cleared its name.
In the past, Mao Li would also wonder if Lizhi was too busy to care about those rumors?
After close contact, Mao Li realized that
That’s because Lizhi has always had higher aspirations for herself!
She is passionate and ambitious.
She has her own dreams.
She developed a step-by-step plan to achieve her dream.
Not only did she forge ahead herself, but she also helped her friends to gradually become better...
When others lose sight of their original purpose in order to make money,
Lychees also remind friends to stay true to their original aspirations.
"Mao Li, you have to understand one thing. No matter when or where, there will always be poor, lazy people who hate others and laugh at others who have nothing who will gossip about you - no matter how well you do."
“So, don’t compromise yourself just to please boring people.”
"What we should care about is myself."
"We are only in our twenties, and we still have a long way to go in the future..."
"Family members who are bound by blood may stab you in the back, lovers who are in love with you may turn against you, and friends who keep each other together may say goodbye to you at the next intersection..."
“Life is full of uncertainties.”
"But the only thing that is certain is that your body and your mind will stay with you for the rest of your life."
"Maoli, please be nicer to yourself!"
"Take good care of your body and enrich your mind."
"The child is just separated from you temporarily. It will come back in the future when you have recovered and are ready." Su Tianli said softly.
Mao Li closed her eyes and tears rolled down.
She was so excited that she was speechless.
She held Su Tianli's hand, sobbed for a long time, and then said: "Lizhi, thank you. In fact, I also know that there is no point in preserving the pregnancy."
"The doctor explained to me in detail that even if I spend a lot of money and lie in bed motionless for several months, there is no guarantee that the baby will be born safely."
"Even if the child has a chance to come into the world, it's probably... not very healthy."
"If I want to let my child suffer in this world at all costs, then that would be the evil I have committed!"
"Thank you, Litchi. Thank you...what you said gave me strength again."
"I agree to have the surgery." Mao Li whispered.
…
Su Tianli turned around and saw Zhang Wei standing blankly at the door of the ward.
She patted Mao Li's hand and said, "Have a good talk with Zhang Wei... Promise me that you won't fight with him! It's better to talk things out."
Then she told him about how Zhang Wei had apologized to everyone at home that morning, and added, "I think he is truly repentant, so don't worry about what happens next. Right now, you two need to discuss this matter carefully... Don't be stubborn! Even if you want to vent your anger on him, you should get your body back in shape first."
Mao Li nodded.
Su Tianli stood up and said, "Then you two can chat. I'll go find the doctor to ask about your condition and see when is the most appropriate time to do the surgery." After saying that, she took the test results and left.
Zhang Wei slowly walked into the ward and sat on the chair next to Mao Li.
What Mao Li and Li Zhi said just now,
He heard it clearly.
Especially her words, "I met the wrong person, got pregnant before marriage and had an abortion. I don't know how many people are waiting to laugh at me"...
Zhang Wei felt heartbroken.
But he also knew,
Now he is worthless in Mao Li's heart.
Mao Li turned her head to the side, tears still streaming down her face.
After a while, Zhang Wei choked up and said, "Ali, don't be angry with me... Okay? Let me take good care of you. Even if you are angry, you have to take care of your body first."
Mao Li also began to sob and remained silent for a long time.
Su Tianli went to ask the doctor and got the answer - Mao Li could have surgery early tomorrow morning.
So Su Tianli went back to the ward to tell Mao Li and Zhang Wei, and then went home to prepare for Mao Li.
That day, Zhang Wei stayed in the hospital to take care of Mao Li.
The next morning, Su Tianli rushed to the hospital first, and together with Zhang Wei, she sent Mao Li into the operating room.
At noon, Cheng Yu came over to bring lunch to everyone. Mao Li had just finished the operation and returned to the ward in a sickly state.
It has to be said that after Mao Li had the operation, perhaps due to Su Tianli's persuasion, she became more open-minded and let things go.
She tried her best to eat, drink and sleep, and also took medicine, injections and examinations as prescribed by the doctor.
A few days later she was discharged from the hospital and returned to Shaou Street.
Su Tianli wanted to give up her single room to her so that she could have a good rest after giving birth. Su Tianli then shared a small room with Ajuan and Old Lady Su.
Mao Li was very uneasy and tried to refuse, "Lizhi, it's okay! I'll just stay in my old bed."
"Maoli! You sleep on the upper bunk!"
Su Tianli scolded, "You're not well yet. How can you bear climbing up and down like this every day?"
"Mao Li, it's okay. After you've completed a month of confinement, we'll switch back!"
Zhang Wei also advised Mao Li, "Yes! I heard from grandma that if a woman takes good care of herself after the baby is born, many old diseases can be cured. Ali, don't argue with Lizhi, this is Lizhi's good intention."
Mao Li had no choice but to thank Su Tianli with tears and moved into Su Tianli's single room.
These days Su Tianli has been secretly observing Zhang Wei.
It’s true, when Zhang Wei is not doing anything wrong, he really takes care of Mao Li.
He was a very hardworking person.
I have been with Mao Li for many years.
As long as Mao Li gives a look or a move,
He knew what she wanted to do.
Under Zhang Wei's care, Mao Li's complexion gradually became rosy and she became more and more energetic.
but--
Speaking of which, Qian Xiaoshuang has been in jail for several days and there has been no movement.
Su Tianli originally thought that Zhang Wei might have his old habit again, and that he might have the idea of "helping Qian Xiaoshuang" and secretly go to the police station to help Qian Xiaoshuang...
So Su Tianli found an opportunity and, in front of Zhang Wei, loudly urged Cheng Yu to go to the police station to inquire about Qian Xiaoshuang's case, wanting to know when Qian Xiaoshuang could pay back the money.
Zhang Wei just pretended not to hear.
He was devoted to taking good care of Mao Li.
When Cheng Yu went to the police station to ask, he found out that Qian Xiaoshuang actually had other criminal records? !
It turned out that in order to avoid being sent to the countryside to work, Qian Xiaoshuang was ordered by her family to marry a widower with children. Her husband was old and not good-looking, but because he was an employee of a state-owned unit, he became a hot commodity in the marriage market.
In order to marry Qian Xiaoshuang, her husband sold his furniture and went into debt before he could raise the money required for the bride price proposed by the Qian family.
But Qian Xiaoshuang ran away a few days after her marriage.
Her husband looked for her several times but to no avail.
There was no other choice but to go to her parents' home to cancel the engagement and ask for the return of the betrothal gift.
But the Qian family ignored him and beat him up, blaming him for being useless and not being able to take care of his wife...
Her husband was so angry that he reported the case to the police, saying that Qian Xiaoshuang had deceived her into marriage in order to get a high bride price.
Because the amount of money involved in Qian Xiaoshuang's case reported by Su Tianli was relatively small;
But in the report filed by Qian Xiaoshuang's husband, the amount involved was high.
Therefore, Su Tianli's report was taken to another police station for joint investigation.
We will have to wait and see the specific situation.
After hearing Cheng Yu's retelling, everyone was amazed:
"That's what I was wondering. We were in the same class, so why did she go to the countryside two years later than us? So there's such a thing going on!"
"The case her husband brought against her has only been dealt with now?"
"Why is her husband so unlucky? Even more unlucky than us!"
"Hey, I have a feeling that we may not get our money back! Let's just call it bad luck!"
…
The more they talked, the more frustrated they became.
Su Tianli watched Zhang Wei's head droop lower and lower, becoming more and more uneasy.
Zhang Wei also looked at Mao Li with an inquiring look, as if asking, "Can I personally pay to make up for everyone's losses?"
But Zhang Wei didn't dare to speak.
Maybe he was afraid that if he really asked this, Mao Li would think he was favoring Qian Xiaoshuang again.
Su Tianli quickly educated everyone about the law. "As long as I file a lawsuit, the police station accepts the case and examines our losses, and Qian Xiaoshuang admits to stealing our things... then the case exists! It's just that Qian Xiaoshuang's husband suffered a greater loss. But whether it's Qian Xiaoshuang's husband's money or our money, we will get it back in the end."
"In comparison, our money is easier to get back because we didn't lose much!" said Su Tianli.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Time passed quickly and it was the end of December. Su Tianli began to feel restless day and night.
She buys several newspapers every day.
because--
According to the novel "Reborn as a Delicate Beauty in the 1970s" that she read on the train back to the city, it was clearly stated that at the end of December 1978, the national leader proposed the concept of "reform and opening up" at the national regular meeting.
Su Tianli was both nervous and excited.
She knew that once such a policy was introduced, the bold ones would be fed to death and the timid ones would starve to death!
She really wanted to be the first person to try it.
After all, sufficient funds are the stepping stone to pursuing dreams.
As long as the money is in place and the dream is worthy of recognition, then everything is possible!
finally--
On the evening of December 31, 1978,
Su Tianli saw this headline in Yangcheng Evening News:
The Communiqué of the 11th XXXX Conference is as follows:
...is about to embark on the historical journey of reform and opening up]
Su Tianli widened her eyes in shock.
There was a moment,
She was so happy that she almost forgot to breathe!
After she came to her senses, she breathed deeply and was so happy!
She spent an entire night carefully reading all the meeting minutes about reform and opening up published in the newspapers, and also took careful handwritten notes.
The next day was New Year's Day, and Su Tianli went to buy another copy of the Guangzhou Daily.
This time, she saw more and more detailed content as she wished.
Su Tianli read eagerly...
After the New Year's Day holiday,
She immediately rushed to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and asked the staff about the application procedures for self-employed individuals and joint-stock companies.
The staff at the Industry and Commerce Bureau found it strange and asked her, "Comrade, how did you know that we have opened the application process for individual business licenses?"
Su Tianli took out the newspaper she had picked up and said, "I'm reading a newspaper!"
The staff member smiled and said, "You may be the first person in Guangzhou to receive a business license."
Su Tianli smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you may be disappointed. I'm here today just to inquire. Several of my friends want to do business with me. I want to first inquire about the tax policies for self-employed individuals and joint-stock companies, and then consider whether to apply for a self-employed individual or a joint-stock company."
Since the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau were also handling this matter for the first time, they were still stuttering when explaining it to Su Tianli.
But anyway, it's explained clearly.
Su Tianli went home, took out her little notebook, and told her family everything she had learned that day.
The family members looked at each other.
A Juan whispered, "Second sister, how about...you apply to be a self-employed person? We...will just treat it as working for you."
Su Tianli felt a little strange, "Didn't we agree to be partners before?"
Mao Li said openly: "Lizhi, don't we listen to what you say? Individual businesses have tax incentives... but joint-stock companies do not have tax incentives, and there are also requirements for registered capital..."
Su Tianli, "But we can also get the registered capital required by a joint-stock company!"
Yao Meiyu said: "Well, it's mainly because everyone is afraid of losing money, so they don't want to put all their eggs in one basket!"
Old Mrs. Su said hesitantly, "Lizhi, let's work for you..."
Su Tianli was stunned for a moment and looked at Ajuan.
——Su Tianli understood that Ajuan wanted to form a partnership. But Mrs. Su was old and afraid of the unknown and hopeless future, so she stopped Ajuan.
This is understandable.
At this time——
Cheng Yu said firmly: "I'll pay, and I'll do business with Lizhi!"
Yao Meiyu also said loudly: "I will pay, and I will do business with Lizhi!"
Mao Li responded positively, "I'll pay, and I'll do business with Lizhi!"
Zhang Wei also said without hesitation: "I will pay, and I will do business with Lizhi!"
Ajuan looked at Old Mrs. Su with resentment and anger, her mouth puffed out, her cheeks puffed up, and her eyes red.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Ajuan and then at Su Tianli, feeling really torn.
On the one hand, the old lady thought that working for Lizhi was the most cost-effective! After all, Lizhi was a capable person and she was one of their own. Working for her was a guaranteed income, just like having a stable job.
On the other hand, the old lady thought that if she worked for Lizhi, she would be like Cao Jinfeng, working hard for only 30 yuan a month! But in the past few months, Lizhi led everyone to do business and make money without a business license, and the money they got was in the hundreds!
For a moment, Old Lady Su was in a state of panic.
Finally, the old lady shrank her neck and whispered, "Forget it, I don't care about you young people anymore."
Ajuan burst into laughter, "Great! Second sister, I want to invest and do business with you!"
All of a sudden, everyone started shouting and laughing happily.
