Chapter 13: Adolescence
The marriage certificate became a divorce certificate, and once the clerk stamped it, everything seemed to be settled.
Zhou Peilin now doesn’t know how to describe the past ten years. She just wants to regard it as a gap in her life.
However, the facts are not subject to human will. She said, "Remember to deposit the money you owe me within three days."
Yang Jingrong actually had the nerve to look hurt: "I know that no amount of money can make up for the harm I have done to you."
Who the hell is he? Zhang Songjing couldn't help but say, "You are totally wrong. Money is the most useful thing. Otherwise, why would anyone rush to be your mistress and give birth to a child for you? After all, your sperm quality is so poor."
This is the most painful part that a man cannot afford to step on in his life. Yang Jingrong: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen Yun added lightly, "You and Perrin have been together for so long and you still don't have a child. You don't think it's all because of contraception, right? I heard that the woman is pregnant. Congratulations."
Congratulations! Yang Jingrong's face turned red. He realized that more and more onlookers were paying attention to this, so he gave up his defense and left.
They walked very fast. Zhang Songjing felt very sorry. "I was thinking if he started to attack me, I would just stand up to him. I must send him to the police station today."
This spirit of sacrifice is both funny and touching.
Zhou Peilin took her hand and said, "We still have to go and take notes. It will delay our shopping."
When talking about spending money, Zhang Songjing gets excited: "First go to Xintiandi, then go to SKP."
It looks like they want to buy the TV tower.
Chen Yun: "It seems that Mr. Zhang has paid quite a bit of bonus this quarter."
After graduating from university, Zhang Songjing passed the civil service exam. After breaking up with He Tai, she resigned and joined a company with the thought of "let's see who can make more money."
She also studied computer science and caught the same boom in the Internet industry as Song Fenglin. With the title of a graduate from Peking University, she was a little luckier than him and joined a better-developed company, with an annual salary slightly higher than his.
The difference is that Song Fenglin's income supports three generations of people. She basically feeds the whole family by herself, and her usual consumption level is the highest among her friends.
Due to high work pressure, shopping becomes a way to vent emotions.
Zhang Songjing: "Even if the salary is small, I won't take a penny into my coffin."
It's scary to say that. Chen Yun: "Don't curse yourself every day."
Zhang Songjing lamented: "If only my mouth was so sharp, my brother would go to hell."
The story of a family that favors boys over girls, you can tell the whole process from the beginning.
Chen Yun: "What the hell is he doing again?"
Zhang Songjing: "You want money, idiot."
She is not someone you can easily mess with. She had severed ties with her blood relatives eight hundred years ago.
What kind of person is this? Chen Yun cursed and clapped her hands, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go find something fun."
Zhang Songjing has many opportunities to talk to her friends, not right now.
She noticed Zhou Peilin's absent-mindedness and pushed her gently: "Let's go."
When there is nothing to do, it is always easy to get caught up in your emotions.
Zhou Peilin had a lot of memories just now floating through her mind, and she said in a daze: "Okay."
For something like this, you have to give her time to get over it.
All Chen Yun could do was accompany him and deliberately change the subject: "Where did I park my car?"
When three people get together, the topic always has a beginning but no end.
After spending half a day in Xintiandi, Chen Yun didn't buy anything and drank two drinks because of thirst.
When she was about to order a third cup, Zhang Songjing couldn't help but sigh: "If I were like you, I would have saved enough money for retirement by now."
Chen Yun: "Then you will lose a lot of happiness."
Yes, you never know, you might have no future and die suddenly from working overtime.
Zhang Songjing approached Zhou Peilin and said, "Luckily I have you, otherwise I would seem like a spendthrift."
Zhou Peilin did a lot of shopping today, both of her hands were filled with shopping bags: "So now you know why I never went shopping with her before."
The two have known each other since elementary school and have so many memories together.
Chen Yun could easily find one by picking it up: "We went to Zhongshan Road every week when we were in junior high school."
Many years later, Zhou Peilin confessed: "Because you have a lot of pocket money, you will treat me to grilled sausages."
It turned out to be the charm of grilled sausages. Chen Yun said, "I thought it was friendship."
At that time, this reason only accounted for a small part, but I didn’t expect that it would become part of the spiritual support after several years.
Zhou Peilin smiled: "And we'll go to your house and eat the braised pork your mother cooked."
It turns out that it was all for food. Zhang Songjing: "No wonder you said you were a little fat girl."
More than just fat, Zhou Peilin gestured at her recently slim waist: "It's twice as wide as it is now."
He also said: "My mother thinks I am too fat and doesn't feed me enough every day, so I have to eat everywhere because I am hungry."
Speaking of this, Chen Yun said: "At that time, I thought her family was poor and couldn't afford to eat, so I shared snacks with her every day. As a result, many people said that I was scheming and did this just to have a fat friend around to contrast with me."
There is also this scene, Zhang Songjing is very interested: "Are they classmates from your class?"
Zhou Peilin: "Even I thought so, so we broke up for a while."
The inferiority complex she felt as a girl due to her appearance was like a poisonous snake that entangled her and prevented her from having any hope in life.
She was the one who brought it up first, and Chen Yun did not hesitate to expose her past: "The reconciliation letter you wrote to me is still at home."
When she was fifteen or sixteen, Zhou Peilin got goose bumps just by remembering one or two lines of the word choice and sentence structure.
She said, "You cried after reading the letter."
It's really hard to look back on the past. Chen Yun: "Let's stop fighting."
Then he said, "Song Jing, you have to believe me, I just shed two tears."
Zhang Songjing replied perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, I believe it."
What tone? Chen Yun insisted on forcing her to admit that she believed in this matter from the bottom of her heart. The two of them touched each other.
Zhou Peilin was standing nearby, so tired that her hands were about to break. She couldn't help but interrupt: "Let's find a place to sit down."
Ningjiang is full of coffee shops of all kinds.
The three of them found a shop in an alley near their home and occupied a table in the corner.
There weren't many customers on a weekday afternoon.
Chen Yun drank a glass of iced American coffee to moisten her throat and commented: "Ours tastes better."
Zhang Songjing took a sip of iced latte: "I think they are all about the same."
Chen Yun: "That's because you have no taste!"
Zhang Songjing was not convinced: "Let's find a few passers-by to be the judges now, and everyone will think I have better taste."
Chen Yun glanced at her jeans and short T-shirt, raised her head and said loudly: "I was very fashionable when I was young."
Zhang Songjing: "You were only 23 when I met you."
According to the secular definition, it is indeed young.
Chen Yun couldn't refute it, so she asked for help: "Perrin, tell me, was I very trendy before?"
Zhou Peilin nodded: "When we were in junior high school, she was famous for her dressing up and she would draw her eyebrows to school every day."
How did a generation of trendsetters transform into this? Zhang Songjing was curious: "They don't paint much now, right?"
Chen Yun: "I'm past the age of being pretty, and I find putting on makeup quite tiring."
Zhang Songjing thought to herself that she was wearing her cousin’s old clothes at an age when she loved to look pretty the most, and said, “But it’s also amazing that you can wear makeup in your school.”
It was not possible at first. Chen Yun: "Once the dean called my parents because of this, but my mother asked him not to scold me. Plus, my grades were good, so the teacher turned a blind eye."
Zhang Songjing knew that she grew up in the love of her parents, but she was still surprised when she heard this: "I didn't expect my aunt to be so open-minded."
Zhou Peilin still envies her when she talks about it now: "She can even take time off to go to concerts."
It is really hard to imagine given the environment Zhang Songjing grew up in.
She said seriously: "I see that uncle and aunt are not very old. Have you considered having a second child? I will go and apply for it right now."
Zhou Peilin: "I applied early, so you can only have three children."
Zhang Songjing: "If it doesn't work out, we can just make do with being twins."
Chen Yun echoed the sentiment: "You two must ensure that you can have a son."
Zhang Songjing was surprised: "I thought your parents didn't have such an idea."
By the age of thirty-three, many tiny emotions have become needles.
Chen Yun said that each time was like being stabbed: "My mother got pregnant once, and her age was too close to mine. The village was very strict at that time, and she had a heavy hemorrhage when she had the abortion, and she could no longer have children."
As for this matter, Zhou Peilin hesitated slightly: "I haven't heard you say that."
Chen Yun: "It's mainly to maintain my image as a beloved only child."
Then she joked: "I was the goddess of our school at that time, so I couldn't afford to make any mistakes."
Zhou Peilin only replied with the second half of her sentence: "You admit it now, but you always said, 'Why do you say I am? I am actually not that good.'"
Zhang Songjing also followed suit and condemned: "I can't believe Chen Yun, you are so stupid."
Under the double attack, Chen Yun said shyly: "It's puberty, please understand."
That kind of youth only happens once in a lifetime, so it is understandable that you didn't do anything harmful.
Zhou Peilin: "You pay for dinner, and never mention it again."
Chen Yun made an OK gesture and exchanged glances with Zhang Songjing.
At this moment, they felt in sync: entertaining friends with colorful clothes is not an easy thing.
