However, the next second, Director Yang's words brought him back to square one:

"Some false rumors about Comrade Xu Niannian have been spread in the family compound recently. ... I hope everyone will not make serious mistakes out of their own selfish desires."

"Today, we have specially convened a criticism meeting. Next, we would like to invite Comrade Wang Xiuping to make a report on her thoughts."

Wang Xiuping stared at the paper in front of her and felt that the words had turned into floating objects. It knew her, but she didn't know it.

Now that I am here, I can only speak out what I remember haltingly.

This made the time seem even longer, and listening to the discussions below, my head almost dropped to the ground.

Deputy Head Wang did not expect that what he wrote in easy-to-understand words could be interpreted like this by her, and he was even more dissatisfied.

The words around him were like mocking raindrops hitting his heart.

All this made him feel very uneasy. He didn't know how other comrades would look at him, so he went home directly before the meeting was over and without waiting for Wang Xiuping.

After returning home, I saw Daya had already prepared the meal in the kitchen.

He sat down with a gloomy face:

"Let's eat."

Daya wanted to ask whether she should wait for her mother, but seeing her father's expression she didn't dare to ask.

I know they had a fierce quarrel these past two days.

Deputy Captain Wang bit the steamed bun in his mouth and thought that the usual meals all tasted like this:

"Do you usually cook the meals?"

Arya replied before her sister could:

"Yes, my eldest sister usually cooks at home, and even sweeping and cleaning the floor are done by my sister and me."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

Deputy Captain Wang felt that instead of reforming a useless person, it would be better to let her return to a position that suits her.

When Wang Xiuping came back that day, she was informed of the bad news that she would be sent back to her hometown in the countryside.

She wanted to make a fuss, wondering why he should abandon his wife just because he achieved success.

However, Vice Captain Wang seemed to know what she was going to say:

"Your reputation is very bad now. I am sending you back to follow the higher-ups' ideas. If you cause any trouble again, I won't even give you basic living expenses. Don't think I don't know how much of the money I gave you before you spent on your brother."

Wang Xiuping was like a cat that was grabbed by the neck and instantly lost the strength to struggle.

If it were any other time, she would definitely have a debate with him.

As an older sister, how could she not help her younger brother when her family was well off?

But she didn't dare to do so now. If she did, there was no doubt that this man would throw her out.

If he was so anxious that he didn't give himself a penny, life would be difficult.

Leaving the three children here, I won't divorce her, and she will come back sooner or later.

He accepted the arrangement silently.

The next morning, the military district sent out a small car to take Wang Xiuping to the train back home.

In the afternoon, a large group of students who had finished their exams filed out.

Li Ran took Jiang Honghong to the cinema:

"My colleague went to see the new movie, and it was pretty good. Look at you, you're going to get moldy staying at home. I feel sorry for you."

Jiang Honghong smiled, but she wasn't that happy at heart.

Li Ran knew from her expression that she hadn't recovered yet. She thought to herself that she would give her a surprise later and she would definitely be happy.

After all, in Li Ran's eyes, it was already very good for Wang Rui, a grown man, to admit his mistakes to this extent. Why should he be unsatisfied?

The cinema is very busy at this time, with groups of three or four people, either couples on dates or young ladies.

There are also people selling popcorn, melon seeds, and orange soda at the door.

Li Ran pushed the person to the middle:

"Honghong, wait here for me. I'll go buy you some popcorn and soda."

Jiang Honghong wanted to refuse, thinking that she should buy it herself, but the person had already run away.

The figure was shadowy and I could only stand there and wait for her.

At this moment, someone suddenly appeared in front of her, holding a stack of letters in his hand, staring into her eyes seriously:

"These days, I have thought about giving up on you, so every day when I miss you, I write you a letter. I look forward to writing it down on paper and expressing my feelings. Maybe my heart won't hurt so much, but I really can't forget you. I can't forget you."

Jiang Honghong's eyes were red and she felt complicated, but she remembered what she had promised her mother and thought about running away.

Wang Rui looked at her, she was wearing the most fashionable woolen coat and small leather shoes on her feet.

He reached out and pulled the man back:

“We started in the cinema, so let’s end in the cinema too.”

After hearing this, Jiang Honghong suddenly softened her heart and followed him into the theater.

The theater was pitch black, but you could occasionally see young couples briefly kissing each other.

Wang Rui reached out and wanted to hold the other person's hand.

But Jiang Honghong dodged it.

Wang Rui retracted his dim eyes and poked his back teeth with his tongue. He didn't want to do it, but Jiang Honghong forced him to do it.

Seeing that the movie was about to end in 10 minutes, he reached out and opened the bottle of soda:

"Have a drink."

Jiang Honghong snapped her fingers. Since she was no longer the other person's partner, she felt uncomfortable eating and drinking his food.

"I'm not thirsty."

Wang Rui's words were full of grievance:

"So, if we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, can we not even be ordinary friends?"

Jiang Honghong wanted to explain, but felt it was unnecessary.

She reached out and took it. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the soda tasted different from what she had drunk before.

I took two sips and put it aside.

As the movie ended, the crowd began to leave.
