Chapter 13 Chapter 13 V Ten Thousand Word Chapter
The noise coming from the door made everyone look sideways.
Su Tianli wondered if Yao Meiyu was here.
So she stood up, walked to the door, looked out, and was stunned.
——Su Youzi was lying on the ground, groaning;
A handsome but pale young man stood against the wall in fear, looking down at Su Youzi in fear;
In addition, Yao Meiyu and a pair of unfamiliar young men and women were trying frantically to help Su Youzi up.
Yao Meiyu was lively and talkative. "Sister Youzi! What are you doing? Is it serious? Get up quickly! You can't blame Cheng Yu for this. It was you who rushed forward without looking at the road..."
The young woman wearing a headband and a plaid dress also said, "Yeah, if you want to blame someone, blame Cheng Yu for moving too fast... He dodged as soon as he saw something was wrong, so you didn't hit him..."
The young man couldn't help but burst out laughing, then tried to straighten his expression, "Right, right, right! It's all Cheng Yu's fault for dodging too quickly..."
Su Tianli then looked at the young man whose back was pressed against the wall.
It’s really Cheng Yu!
At this time, Su Youzi finally got up from the ground, grunting, and was about to settle the score with Cheng Yu.
Su Tianli smiled and said, "Big sister, you know all my friends anyway, so don't go to work, let mom go for you! You stay and we can play together!"
Then, Su Tianli turned around and asked Tian Xiu for her opinion, "Mom, what do you think?"
——Of course, she wanted to keep Su Youzi so that she could ask him some questions and find out the secret of her destination when she went to the countryside.
Tian Xiu always dotes on Su Youzi.
After seeing the pale, thin, black-framed glasses-wearing young man who came with Yao Meiyu, who looked particularly bookish, he immediately had other ideas and agreed, "Yes, Youzi, why don't you stay? Anyway, you are all young people and can chat with each other."
In order to cut off Su Youzi's escape route, Su Tianli deliberately asked Tian Xiu, "Mom, what about my elder sister's work..."
"I'll go for her!" Tian Xiu said, "It's not a very important matter, it's just sending and receiving newspapers and letters!"
Su Youzi said anxiously, "No! No no no, Mom, I want to go to work by myself!"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "No, you don't want to go to work!"
Su Youzi: ...
Tian Xiu was in a very good mood as she rarely saw the two sisters being so friendly. "It's settled!"
After saying that, Tian Xiu glanced at the young man with glasses again, and asked Su Tianli with a smile, "Why don't you guys go out in the morning? Just play at home. I'll go to the cafeteria to buy some good food at noon and invite your classmates to have a meal at home?"
The young couple quickly declined, "No, no, thank you, Auntie, it's no need to trouble you!"
Su Tianli winked at Yao Meiyu.
Although the two good friends have not seen each other for many years and have not communicated with each other, the basic tacit understanding is still there.
Yao Meiyu immediately understood what Su Tianli meant - my mother Tian Xiu is a stingy person! She has never spent a penny! She wants to treat us for the first time, how can I not take advantage of this?
So Yao Meiyu spoke up, "Mao Li, Zhang Wei, it's rare for us to get together, so why don't you stay and bother Auntie for once!"
As soon as Su Tianli heard the names "Mao Li" and "Zhang Wei", she knew that they were also her elementary school classmates!
——Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu are both children of the chemical factory compound, and they have been attending the children's school since they were young. However, the children's school of the chemical factory does not only recruit children of the factory itself, but also children of other smaller units nearby, or other children in the street and village...
Mao Li and Zhang Wei should belong to the latter.
Su Tianli looked at Mao Li and Zhang Wei for a moment, and indeed saw a hint of familiarity in them.
The organizer of today's party was Yao Meiyu, and the venue was at Su Tianli's house. Since the two of them had urged them so hard, Mao Li and Zhang Wei had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Auntie."
Su Tianli first gave Yao Meiyu a knowing smile, then winked and raised the corner of her mouth in the direction of Su Youzi.
Yao Meiyu understood - her friend wanted her to bring Su Youzi along as well!
In fact, Yao Meiyu was not very happy.
Because she was Su Tianli's good friend, she knew the basic situation of the Su family, so she particularly hated Su Youzi...
Why did you keep Su Youzi here? !
However, Yao Meiyu still respected Su Tianli's idea, so she said to Su Youzi with a smile: "Sister, don't go to work, let's chat all the time!"
As she spoke, Yao Meiyu showed off the large net bag in her hand, "There are also delicious things!"
Tian Xiu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's settled! Then I will go to work for Youzi, and you guys can have fun at home!" With that, Tian Xiu left in a hurry.
She was also worried that the children would feel uncomfortable at home, so she urged Su Dejun to go with her.
Su Youzi showed a desperate expression on his face.
Su Tianli was satisfied.
Everyone went into the house together.
Su Tianli glanced at Cheng Yu.
It seems that Zhang Wei takes good care of Cheng Yu, and of course Cheng Yu is also very obedient. When Zhang Wei calls him to go into the house, he goes into the house. When he calls him to sit on a chair, he sits down obediently.
However, Cheng Yu's eyes could not focus, and his look was rather empty.
Seeing that Su Tianli had been staring at Cheng Yu, Yao Meiyu explained: "When we came here, we saw Cheng Yu on the side of the road, so we called him to come with us... Don't worry, he is not really stupid, he is just..."
At this point, Yao Meiyu paused and then said, "He should be suffering from the sequelae of concussion."
Su Tianli also nodded.
She has dealt with several similar incidents on the farm, all of which involved colleagues accidentally falling and hitting their heads.
The usual treatment is to send the animal to the hospital and then take it back to the farm to recuperate.
But my colleagues always recover quickly, usually within seven or eight days. For those with serious injuries, they will recover within a month.
In Cheng Yu’s case—I heard it’s been going on for several months?
How come it can't be taken care of well?
At this time, Yao Meiyu introduced Mao Li and Zhang Wei to Su Tianli, "You two probably don't know each other anymore - Su Tianli, you used to be the study committee member of our class! Mao Li, you used to be the entertainment committee member of our class! Zhang Wei, you used to be the sports committee member of our class!"
After thinking for a while, Yao Meiyu pointed at Cheng Yu and said, "Cheng Yu! He used to be number one in our class!"
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Su Tianli smiled and shook hands with her old friend, "...If it weren't for Ah Yu introducing us, I'm sure we wouldn't even recognize each other when we walked down the street."
Mao Li smiled and said, "Yes, we have all grown up."
Yao Meiyu briefly introduced everyone's situation:
She did not go to the countryside. After finishing school, she followed the assignment and went to the Municipal People's Hospital. She worked as an intern nurse for three years, but she never passed the assessment. Later, her family found a way to transfer her to the current district health center. It took her only half a year to pass the assessment, and she successfully passed the qualification certificate and finally became a regular employee.
Mao Li and Zhang Wei also went to the countryside at that time. They went to the same place - a farm under the jurisdiction of Shaoguan, Su Tianli's hometown.
They are a couple.
Like Su Tianli, they were the first batch to receive the transfer order back to the city, and they returned a month earlier than Su Tianli...
Yao Meiyu met them because they went to the district health center for medical treatment yesterday. Yao Meiyu recognized them. She was very happy and told them that Su Tianli had also returned, so they went to visit Su Tianli together today.
When Su Tianli heard this, she immediately asked Mao and Zhang with concern, "What happened? Why did you go to the doctor yesterday?"
Hearing this, Mao Li's eyes turned red and Zhang Wei also let out a long sigh.
Finally, it was Mao Li who spoke up, "How should I put it? It's just... after I came back, I felt that everything has really changed and nothing has changed."
"I went to the countryside to reduce the burden on my family and to earn some money to support my family... But after I came back after a few years away, things were different."
"We have become outsiders!" Mao Li said sadly.
Mao Li told everyone:
After she returned to the city, because the Youth League Station was slow to arrange a job transfer for her, she had no unit to accept her and could only live at home temporarily. Then, the way her family treated her... it's hard to describe.
Yesterday she was a little slow in doing activities at home and was scolded by her nephew. She scolded him a few times, but the half-grown nephew hit her.
It happened that Zhang Wei went to her house to find her. He saw the skinny girl being pinned to the ground and beaten by her chubby nephew. He could not help but get angry and knocked her nephew over in a few seconds.
This scene was seen by Mao Li's sister-in-law, and then it triggered a family war.
Zhang Wei dared to teach his half-grown nephew a lesson, but he didn't dare to do anything to Sister Mao Li.
So he got beaten.
This is why Mao Li and Zhang Wei went to see a doctor.
Hearing this, Su Tianli asked about their majors.
Mao Li smiled bitterly, "I am an accountant, and Zhang Wei is an ordinary worker."
"But as for accounting, to be honest, no matter which company or unit you are in, it is a position that only the boss's acquaintances can do. So, we both submitted transfer orders, and Zhang Wei's position was assigned yesterday, but mine is still not settled! I was thinking, why don't I quit my accounting job and just take any line worker position (assembly line)?" said Mao Li.
At this time, Yao Meiyu asked Zhang Wei, "Where is your new unit?"
Zhang Wei sighed, "The chopstick factory at the east end of the street."
"Ah?" Yao Meiyu said in surprise, "Chopstick factory?"
Mao Li heard this and quickly asked, "Ayu, isn't the chopstick factory good?"
Yao Meiyu said honestly: "It is said that the economic performance is not good and it has been a long time since we have been able to pay wages."
Zhang Wei and Mao Li both exclaimed, their eyes blank and at a loss.
What happened to Mao Li and Zhang Wei basically reflects all the difficulties that the educated youth returning to the city may encounter.
If nothing unexpected happens,
Su Tianli's experience will not be much better than Mao Li's.
To liven up the atmosphere, Yao Meiyu took out the big net bag she brought with her and said, "Come on, come on! Everyone, come and eat! This is the breakfast I bought from our company's cafeteria. There are salty pancakes! And water chestnut cakes! I also bought glutinous rice chicken and dried vegetable porridge!"
"Since Litchi just came back, she must be missing the taste of her hometown, right?"
Mao Li disagreed, “Those of us who have been back for a month also miss the taste of home!”
Yao Meiyu asked curiously, "No, you've been back for a month, and you... haven't had the snacks from your hometown yet?"
Mao Li lowered her head and sighed in defeat.
Su Tianli quickly changed the subject, "Ayu, please take it out quickly, I can't wait!"
Yao Meiyu exclaimed, "Luckily I bought a lot!"
She put all kinds of delicious food on the dining table one by one, and the table was indeed full of all kinds of food.
Everyone started eating and drinking.
Su Tianli took the bowl and added half a bowl of roasted bone and dried vegetable porridge. After taking just one bite, she showed an expression of enjoyment.
Yao Meiyu smiled, "Is it delicious?"
Su Tianli nodded seriously, "The best dried vegetable porridge in the world!"
Turning around, she saw Cheng Yu sitting upright on a chair like a primary school student, with his back straight.
"Cheng Yu, come and eat too?" Su Tianli called him.
Cheng Yu didn't react at all.
Su Tianli lowered her head and took another bite of the water chestnut cake.
Water chestnut cake is also the most authentic traditional cake in Guangzhou. It is made of water chestnut starch, mixed with fresh water chestnut meat and brown sugar. The cake body is a transparent brown sugar color, with snow-white water chestnut slices in the middle.
The texture is soft and chewy, with the aroma of brown sugar and the freshness of water chestnuts;
The taste is refreshing, light and sweet with just the right amount!
Ahhhhhhh!
How can water chestnut cake be so delicious!
Su Tianli looked very happy and sweet while eating.
At this time——
Cheng Yu suddenly said slowly, "...Okay."
Everyone stopped eating and turned their heads to look at Cheng Yu.
Su Tianli was the first to laugh out loud.
No way!
Is his reaction so slow?
It’s been at least a minute since she called him to eat!
Su Tianli smiled, and everyone laughed too.
Zhang Wei added more porridge to Cheng Yu, and also distributed some buns, glutinous rice, chicken, etc., and placed them all in front of Cheng Yu.
Then, Cheng Yu began to eat slowly.
Su Youzi was afraid of being at a disadvantage, so he reached out and grabbed the most expensive glutinous rice chicken.
——Glutinous rice chicken is actually a glutinous rice ball wrapped in dried lotus. The filling of the rice ball will include at least a piece of chicken with bones, dried shiitake mushrooms, red date paste and peeled mung bean puree.
However, Su Youzi had already eaten a bellyful of porridge and steamed buns in order to compete with Su Tianli for breakfast, so he couldn't eat anything now...
In the end, she could only hold it tightly in her hand.
Su Tianli glanced at Su Youzi, but smiled without saying anything.
Just at this time, Mao Li was asking Su Tianli about her situation in the countryside.
Su Tianli told everything.
result--
When she first mentioned the words "Northwest Farm 109",
Yao Meiyu opened her mouth in surprise.
Mao Li and Zhang Wei both exclaimed:
"What? Farm 109?"
"Litchi! So you went to the 109 Farm to join the team? Is it the model agricultural research base in the northwest?"
Su Youzi standing by was confused: Is Farm 109 something very powerful?
Yao Meiyu was shocked that Su Tianli went to the farm in Northwest China instead of Jiangxi.
However, Yao Meiyu found Mao Li and Zhang Wei's behavior even more strange, so she asked Mao Li and Zhang Wei curiously, "You... have all heard of Farm 109?"
Mao Li pulled Yao Meiyu aside and explained:
The Northwest is a barren place. I heard that even on the most fertile land, the wheat yield per mu is only about 200 kilograms!
This is one-fifth of the output in the plains.
However, the 109 Farm produced a legendary figure, Wang Xuezhao, who was said to be a delicate and frail young lady from a wealthy family, and one of the first batch of the third generation to go to the countryside! She led 20 to 30 educated youths, and near the ruins of an ancient city that had been abandoned for a thousand years, she dug the ground with her bare hands, opened up farmland, and found a water source...
They literally built the 109 Youth Farm with their own hands, brick by brick.
During the decade of retrograde progress, Wang Xuezhao also built Farm 109 into a nationally renowned agricultural research base!
I heard that the 109 Youth League Farm has now achieved agricultural mechanization.
Mao Li and Zhang Wei's farm leaders had once taken farm cadres to visit and study at Farm 109 in the northwest, and they came back with endless praise for Farm 109...
At this point, Mao Li asked Su Tianli again, "The welfare of Farm 109 is good, right?"
Su Tianli nodded with a smile.
The farm benefits are really good, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to save more than 700 yuan in four years!
This was saved up by her usual generous spending.
Mao Li looked at Su Tianli and nodded, "I guess so! I won't say anything else... Look at your skin! You are in the northwest, no matter how good your unit is, you still have to be exposed to the sun and rain! But your skin is white and tender, your face is so tender that it's almost dripping with water!"
Mao Li touched her face again and sighed, "Before, many people envied Zhang Wei and me, thinking that we went to Shaoguan, after all, we didn't leave the province! It was a good place. But the environment of our farm is really hard to describe!"
Su Tianli burst out laughing.
Yes, 109 Farm. It may be because the founder Wang Xuezhao is also a young girl who loves beauty. Besides reading and food, her personal hobby is probably skin care.
This affects the people on the farm to some extent.
Therefore, everyone developed the habit of wearing a veil when going out in the morning.
——The veil hat is also very 109-featured!
It is actually an improved version of the conical hat, which exposes the top of the head to facilitate ventilation, but has a wide cloth edge in front of the forehead that is light, thin and transparent, with transparent gauze hanging from the edge.
It is sun-proof, wind-proof, sand-proof and not stuffy.
So practical.
In addition, Su Tianli's salary is only enough to support herself.
So she was especially willing to spend money on herself - in addition to the vanishing cream she usually used, she also bought honey, pearls and other things, and used the cucumbers and tomatoes grown on the farm to make various facial masks morning and night...
Her skin is indeed well maintained.
Su Youzi, who was standing by, widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Su Tianli with envy and jealousy.
She thought to herself, how come this damn girl is so lucky?
I had already gone to the Northwest, but I happened to get into a good and famous company with good benefits!
Oh, by the way, it seems that even her length of service is calculated as 1.5 times...
The more Su Youzi thought about it, the angrier he became, and he kept pinching the glutinous rice chicken with his hands.
Then--
Here comes the point!
Yao Meiyu finally asked the question that she had been unable to figure out and could never let go of, "Lizhi, why did you... go to the Northwest Farm? I, we always thought you went to Jiangxi!"
As she spoke, Yao Meiyu looked at Su Youzi beside her with doubt in her eyes, "Sister Youzi, you told me in person that Lizhi went to Jiangxi, and you even copied her address to me in person! What is going on?"
Su Youzi stood up with an uncomfortable look on his face. "Well... I have something else to do! I, I'll leave first!"
After saying that, she hurried to the door, and as soon as she opened it——
Tan Weiming was standing at the door and stretched out his hand to knock.
Tan Weiming didn't know why the door opened automatically before he even knocked.
So he had no time to retract his fist that was raised high, and it fell directly and hit Su Youzi on the head!
Su Youzi screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground with his head in his hands.
Everyone gathered around to see.
Tan Weiming was so anxious that she almost cried, "I'm sorry, elder sister! I didn't know you would suddenly come out... Second sister, second sister!"
Su Tianli comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. We all know you didn't mean it."
Mao Li and Yao Meiyu had helped Su Youzi up and let her sit aside to rest.
In this way, Su Youzi couldn't leave.
However, Su Youzi pretended to be faint and hummed, seeming to want to avoid questioning.
After all, Su Youzi had fallen hard just now.
Yao Meiyu couldn't continue to ask.
So, Yao Meiyu talked about the whereabouts of other classmates.
Well, the policy was like this, and in Su Tianli's era, there were almost no only children, so most of her classmates went to the countryside. The few who didn't either had strong family connections, or were in poor health, or were the eldest or youngest in the family...
However, Yao Meiyu kept in touch with all of her classmates who had gone to the countryside. The fundamental reason was to find out the whereabouts of Su Tianli:
"I have been keeping in touch with them through letters, actually it's all for you!"
"I wrote you so much money, but you didn't reply. I was so worried! Because I know you are not the kind of person who acts on impulse!"
"I really have no choice but to suspect... maybe you are not in Jiangxi at all!"
"Then I went door to door to ask for their addresses in the countryside, reminisced about the past with everyone, told them what had happened recently in their families, and asked about your situation. I didn't expect that after several years, there was no news from you at all..." Yao Meiyu said to Su Tianli.
Everyone looked at Su Youzi.
Su Youzi immediately touched his head and groaned loudly, looking very painful.
Su Tianli pondered for a moment, then said to Yao Meiyu: "Ayu, tell me more about the other people's situation!"
——Mao Li and Zhang Wei were her and Yao Meiyu’s elementary school classmates, so what Yao Meiyu just talked about was the recent situation of her elementary school classmates.
But now Su Tianli really wants to know the latest news about the male and female protagonists Fu Yan and He Wanqian in the book "Reborn as a Delicate Beauty in the 1970s".
She even had the book "One Hundred Knitting Methods" at hand early in the morning!
Caressing the book "One Hundred Ways to Knit", Su Tianli didn't understand what her mentality was right now...
In short, she still hoped that Fu Yan and He Wanqian's current situation would be consistent with the novel she had read before.
Although she is not interested in the emotional development of the male and female protagonists,
But she was very interested in the background described in the book, which described opportunities everywhere and money being made everywhere.
But Yao Meiyu thought about it, then turned to look at Cheng Yu, who was sitting obediently at the table and eating porridge slowly.
"You've all heard about Cheng Yu's incident, right?" Yao Meiyu asked.
Su Tianli, Mao Li and Zhang Wei all nodded.
Zhang Wei said: "I know a little bit, but not everything."
——In primary school, Zhang Wei and Cheng Yu were very good friends. But Cheng Yu's family had problems and he didn't even go to junior high school, so the two gradually drifted apart.
Otherwise, Zhang Wei wouldn't have the audacity to bring Cheng Yu to the Su family for a free meal today after seeing him on the street.
Yao Meiyu talked about Cheng Yu's family.
She had never left the area, so of course she was well aware of the well-known child-swapping incident.
——Cheng Yu’s nominal adoptive father is Cheng Ke and his adoptive mother is Wang Aiqin.
Cheng Ke has two younger sisters, the older one is named Cheng Xi and the younger one is named Cheng Yue.
More than twenty years ago, Cheng Xi died of childbirth complications, leaving behind a baby boy named Cheng Yu.
At that time, Cheng Ke and his wife had given birth to three daughters in a row and had not had a son... So they raised Cheng Yu as their own, intending to raise him as a son.
Unexpectedly, less than a year after adopting Cheng Yu, Wang Aiqin became pregnant and later gave birth to a son. Cheng Yu's life became difficult.
When Cheng Yu was three years old, his aunt Cheng Yue couldn't stand his brother and sister-in-law's abuse of Cheng Yu, so she decided to keep Cheng Yu by her side.
Because of this, Cheng Yue remained unmarried for life.
When Cheng Yu was a child, he lived with his aunt and his life was pretty good.
However, when he was in the first grade of junior high school, his aunt fell ill. He asked people everywhere to borrow money for her treatment, but in the end, his aunt still passed away.
At such a young age, Cheng Yu lost his last support and had to drop out of school.
He almost became a homeless person, but fortunately the workers at the machinery factory felt sorry for him and tacitly took Cheng Yu in.
Cheng Yu usually lived in the boiler room, occasionally helping the boiler workers shovel coal so that he wouldn't have to endure the cold in winter;
He was young and light, but smart and agile, and he could climb up and down more flexibly than an adult.
He assisted the engineers of the machinery factory, and gradually, he gained more and more experience in repairing machinery... Finally, he was hired as a temporary worker by the machinery factory as an exception.
However, in the first half of the year, it was suddenly revealed that Cheng Yu was taken away by mistake with another baby girl, He Wanqian, on the day he was born!
It is said that this was discovered by He Wanqian herself. It seemed that she found that her blood type was different from that of her parents. Finally, she insisted on a thorough investigation and found out that it was Cheng Yu's aunt who did it!
Many years have passed, and the two parties involved (sisters Cheng Xi and Cheng Yue) have passed away.
In addition, He Wanqian was well-behaved and docile, which won the favor of He Jingdong and his wife, so the He couple loved their adopted daughter more than their biological son...
Later on, the rumors turned out to be true - Cheng Yu had indeed accidentally fallen from a high altitude while helping He Jingdong repair machinery, and hit the back of his head, and he became the confused and dazed person he is now.
At this point, Yao Meiyu rolled her eyes and told everyone in a sarcastic tone, "You don't know... He Wanqian, she speaks in a coquettish voice! Let me learn a passage for you!"
Yao Meiyu cleared her throat and cried, "Dad, I know you love me, but I'm really not your child. For more than 20 years, I have taken away my brother's wealthy life... Dad, I beg you, please let my brother come back. Although he is an adult, he also has the right to enjoy the love of his father and mother!"
"Mom, I know you love me, but you gave birth to me after ten months of pregnancy. Mom, although I will be sad to leave you, I have had the best maternal love for more than 20 years, but I have nothing... I don't want to see my brother sad!"
"Dad! Mom! I'm really happy for you that you and your brother are together!"
Tan Weiming at the side couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Meiyu, you imitated her so well!"
Yes, this drama shocked the whole street at that time!
So Tan Weiming also went to see it live...
How should I put it? At first glance, what He Wanqian said seemed to be full of deep feelings.
But when I went back and tasted it carefully, I found that it had a very strong sour taste.
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu standing aside.
Cheng Yu had finished his porridge slowly and now began to eat the buns slowly.
It seemed as if everything everyone was discussing had nothing to do with him.
Su Tianli thought for a moment and asked the question she least wanted to ask, "Ayu, didn't He Wanqian go to the countryside?"
The reason why she said she didn't want to ask,
It was because she had realized from Yao Meiyu's story that He Wanqian had never gone to the countryside to join the production team!
Su Tianli felt unwell.
This proves that what happened in the real world is contrary to the plot of the novel. I don’t know if the future described in the novel is accurate...
Little did they know——
Yao Meiyu hadn't spoken yet.
Su Youzi suddenly said, "I'm an only child! Why would I go to the countryside?"
Su Tianli turned to look at Su Youzi, her eyes revealing something like "Now you can finally explain it properly, right?"
Su Youzi immediately held his head and groaned again, "Ouch, my head hurts so much..."
Yao Meiyu said to Su Tianli: "Yes, He Wanqian did not go to the countryside..."
At this point, Yao Meiyu suddenly became stunned. "It's strange! Lizhi, you've been missing for many years... I've been looking for you everywhere! If I meet someone I haven't seen for a while, I'll ask them about your whereabouts."
"As time went on, many people would ask me, 'Ayu, have you found your friend?'"
"But Litchi, He Wanqian has never asked me this question before!"
"Lizhi, are you and He Wanqian not on good terms?" Yao Meiyu asked curiously, "...We have never been apart before! If you and He Wanqian are not on good terms, there is no reason for me not to know!"
Before Su Tianli could speak——
Su Youzi rolled his eyes at Yao Meiyu and said, "Tsk! Who do you think you belong to her? She's the only daughter of a senior engineer. Is it necessary for her to fall in love with people like you and have a bad relationship with you?"
"It's fine if you flatter yourself in private, but you even say it out loud! Aren't you ashamed?"
As he said that, Su Youzi rolled his eyes at Su Tianli again.
Su Tianli said to Su Youzi, "If your headache is gone, then tell me now, who gave you the money to deliberately harm me? On the surface, you told everyone that I went to Jiangxi, but in fact, you signed me up to go to the Northwest?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.
Su Youzi said in panic: "No... no one!"
Su Tianli didn't believe it. "Then tell me how much you sold me for!"
"That's not the case!" Su Youzi was so anxious that he was spinning around.
Su Tianli, "We are at home now. If you speak out, you won't be embarrassed outside! If you only want to escape and run away, I can go to your workplace to stop you! Then you will be embarrassed in front of the whole company!"
"I said no, it means no!" Su Youzi said, and rushed out of the door in a panic.
Su Tianli is not afraid that Su Youzi will escape!
The monk can run away but the temple cannot.
Besides, Su Youzi, who had accomplished nothing, had no way of leaving this home.
After all, there is only one Tian Xiu in the world who will protect her.
So, if Su Youzi ran away, then he ran away.
In this way, Su Tianli can talk to her friends about her true feelings.
only--
After Su Youzi ran away, Yao Meiyu followed him to the door, poked her head out to take a look, and confirmed that Su Youzi had really left. Then she closed the door and turned to ask Su Tianli, "Lizhi, are you telling the truth? Does your sister really... want to harm you?"
Su Tianli: "I guessed."
After hearing what Su Tianli said, Mao Li breathed a sigh of relief, "I told you, family members shouldn't be like this..."
Yao Meiyu said, "No! Since Lizhi said so, it must be possible!"
Mao Li was stunned.
"No way!" Mao Li couldn't believe it. "Isn't Su Youzi Lizhi's biological sister? She wouldn't do such a thing, right?"
Zhang Wei on the side said to Mao Li: "Think about your own situation first, then think about Lizhi!"
Mao Li couldn't help but think of what happened at home yesterday, and her eyes turned red.
After a while, Mao Li choked up and said, "What should we do now? We went to the countryside to reduce the burden on our family. No matter how hard we were out there, we always told them the good news but not the bad news! We were afraid that they wouldn't be able to live well at home, so we sent all the wages we earned to them!"
"Now that we've finally returned, we thought we'd be able to enjoy a happy family reunion, but who knew... we've become outsiders!"
"I can't go back! I can never go back..." Mao Li began to cry.
Everyone fell silent.
After a while, Su Tianli asked Yao Meiyu, "Ayu, do you know where to rent a house?"
Yao Meiyu was startled, "Are you renting it?"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "I will have to move out sooner or later."
Yao Meiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why don't you first check where your future unit is! What if it ends up far away..."
"No matter where Dan Wei's position is, I want to stay away from here." Su Tianli said.
Yao Meiyu sighed, "Then let me ask around for you!"
Su Tianli said seriously: "Thank you, Ayu."
Yao Meiyu's eyes also turned red. "Originally, I... also felt a little resentful towards you. I know I am not your relative, I am just your friend. But I spent so much time and energy looking for you, but I still couldn't get any news from you. I felt that you were deliberately avoiding me and didn't want to listen to my explanation. You must be laughing secretly, watching me looking for you in such a desperate situation! So I am very angry..."
"But now I know that this is all a misunderstanding!" Yao Meiyu smiled tearfully, "So I feel much better! Don't worry, Lizhi, I will take your matter to heart!"
Mao Li also said to Yao Meiyu: "Meiyu, if you can find a house with a suitable price, please tell me, I also want to rent it..."
As she spoke, Mao Li cast a questioning look at Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei nodded. "That's what I thought. If the chopstick factory doesn't do well financially, there probably won't be any welfare housing. Then Mao Li and I can rent a house together!"
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu, who was sitting at the table and eating glutinous rice chicken seriously, and asked, "Cheng Yu, what about you? Where do you live now?"
Cheng Yu ate the glutinous rice chicken slowly without any response.
Su Tianli sighed.
She looked up at Yao Meiyu and asked, "What has He Wanqian been doing these years?"
Yao Meiyu replied: "I'm very successful! I was recruited to work in a chemical factory right after I graduated from high school. I'm so young... I'm now an accountant at your chemical factory!"
Su Tianli cried out, her face full of disappointment.
——It seems that in the real world, He Wanqian and Fu Yan did not go to Jiangxi to work in the countryside!
so?
The world of later generations where people could pick up gold everywhere no longer exists?
Then, why is the plot about He Wanqian and Cheng Yu being taken away by mistake... also true? !
Seeing that Su Tianli was interested in He Wanqian, Yao Meiyu said, "By the way, you don't know yet? He Wanqian and Fu Yan are together!"
Su Tianli: I already know!
Yao Meiyu sighed again: "I used to think that you and Fu Yan were secretly in love with each other! After all, one of you was the school beauty and the other was the school hunk, but who would have known that after we graduated, you went to the countryside to join the production team and never heard from me again..."
"Lizhi, you don't know yet, right? When you first went to the countryside, Fu Yan also looked for you everywhere! He cared about you as much as I did! But later, his feelings for you gradually faded..."
Su Tianli was dumbfounded. "What are you talking about? What...what is a mutual crush?! Ah Yu! What on earth did you misunderstand?"
——When she was in school, she wasn’t familiar with Fu Yan and He Wanqian!
Yao Meiyu asked in confusion: "Don't you often lend your study notes to Fu Yan?"
Su Tianli, "I was the study committee member of the class at that time, and the teacher asked me to organize my notes regularly for all the students to see! But he was quick... Every time I put my notes on the podium, he was the first one to run over and take them."
Yao Meiyu: …
Yao Meiyu didn't believe it, "He accompanies you to school every morning and takes you home after school!"
Su Tianli frowned, "Are you stupid? Don't we go to school together every morning? We also walk home together after school!"
Yao Meiyu, "But! But he always follows you..."
"According to what you said, he might be following you!" Su Tianli retorted.
Yao Meiyu added: "He attends all the school activities you attend!"
Su Tianli was almost laughing out of anger, "So you have a crush on me too? After all, you participated in all the activities I participated in!"
Yao Meiyu finally had nothing to say.
Of course, Su Tianli was not angry with Yao Meiyu.
She just wanted to know what the problem was.
Why did her best friend, the friend she used to spend every day with, think that she and Fu Yan had a mutual crush on each other?
It seems that Yao Meiyu herself also finds it confusing.
She was stunned for a long time before she said to Su Tianli: "Now that you mention it, I feel... That's right! When we were in school, we were inseparable! If you like Fu Yan, there's no way I don't know..."
"What a weird thing!" Yao Meiyu asked curiously, "Why do I feel like you and Fu Yan were originally a couple?"
After thinking for a while, Yao Meiyu said to Su Tianli, "It could also be that you left without saying goodbye after graduation, and he was so anxious to find you! Lizhi, you know, he even went to your house and begged your parents to tell him your address. Of course, he got the address in Jiangxi... I guess he wrote to you like me, but never received a reply from you!"
"During that time, he would come to me and ask me if I had any news about you!"
"Maybe that's why I thought..."
Su Tianli was stunned.
An incredible thought vaguely emerged in her mind.
So she quickly asked Yao Meiyu, "Did Fu Yan go to the countryside to join the production team?"
In fact, what she wanted to know more was: Did Fu Yan go to Jiangxi to join the team?
Yao Meiyu shook her head. "Fu Yan didn't go to the countryside to work as a farmer! He followed the path of He Wanqian's father, He Jingdong. He Jingdong found a job for Fu Yan. Now Fu Yan is He Jingdong's apprentice... Everyone says he is the son-in-law of the He family!"
"He's not at a loss, as he has several brothers! And we don't expect him to carry on the Fu family's bloodline." Yao Meiyu said.
Su Tianli thought to herself:
In the novel "Rebirth of a Delicate Beauty in the 1970s", who is the one who is reborn?
Logically speaking, He Wanqian is the heroine in the novel, so the one who was reborn should be He Wanqian herself.
So, why do some plots match up but others don’t?
final--
All the clues that matched or didn't match up allowed Su Tianli to come up with an incredible idea:
——Is it possible that in the first half of the novel "Reborn as a Delicate Beauty in the Seventies", the male protagonist is indeed Fu Yan, but the female protagonist... is not actually He Wanqian, but Su Tianli?
After all, He Wanqian is an only child and she doesn't need to go to the countryside.
The place where Su Tianli was originally going to work in the countryside happened to be a farm in northern Jiangxi Province as described in the book.
Maybe Su Tianli and Fu Yan went to Jiangxi together, and then they spent time together and fell in love with each other as described in the book.
Su Tianli felt a little nauseous when she thought of this possibility.
She forced herself to suppress the inexplicable disgust that welled up in her heart and continued to speculate:
After He Wanqian is reborn, she will definitely work from a selfish perspective to change the "plot" in order to create an environment and conditions that are beneficial to her.
Since she likes Fu Yan, she must separate Fu Yan and Su Tianli.
So, when Su Youzi tampered with Su Tianli's destination for going to the countryside five years ago, was He Wanqian really the financial backer behind it?
Of course, if He Wanqian wanted to get Fu Yan, the first step was to get Su Tianli to leave, and the second step was to get Fu Yan to stay in the city...
Look! How reasonable it is!
Very good, the new concept has basically taken shape.
Then the next step is to verify whether this matter is true.
Su Tianli had just made up her mind——
At this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door open.
When Su Tianli saw the person coming, she was stunned for a moment.
