New Year's Day is the busiest time for the textile factory. Li Hongru has been so busy lately that he has lost several pounds.
That day, after get off work, he pushed his bicycle towards the gate as usual. As soon as he walked out of the gate, Li Hongru heard someone calling him from a distance:
"Hongru, Li Hongru".
Looking in the direction of the voice, Li Hongru saw a face he hadn't seen for a long time. For a moment, his heart was filled with infinite emotion. The person he thought he would never meet again suddenly appeared in front of him.
Liu Shuangshuang still looks the same as before, but she is a little more mature than before. Looking at the windbreaker on her body and the leather shoes on her face, you can tell that she is living a good life.
Li Hongru pushed the cart towards her, his face expressionless. After meeting, he only exchanged polite greetings:
"Long time no see, what are you doing in Le'an?"
"I came here specifically to see you."
Liu Shuangshuang had neatly combed short hair, a white pearl hairpin on her forehead, and a black leather bag in her hand. At first glance, she looked like a girl next door who had just walked out of school.
Liu Shuangshuang is very beautiful, with fair skin and no blemishes on her face. Even her profile has an enviable standard appearance. She is a true beauty with three parts of the face and five eyes.
Because she is a dancer, her figure is very beautiful. When she stands there, she has an elegant temperament like a chrysanthemum.
She was Li Hongru's first love. When they met again after breaking up, there was an extra layer of awkwardness between them.
"Hongru, I have something urgent to talk to you about. Can you talk to me first?"
"Okay, but I have to go home and tell her first." Li Hongru was afraid that Zhang Weifang would worry, so he decided to go home first.
Liu Shuangshuang felt a little uncomfortable, but she had something to do with Li Hongru, so she endured it and didn't say no.
The two people agreed to meet in the park half an hour later and then said goodbye to each other.
Li Hongru was lost in thought all the way and soon arrived home. Hu Zi heard the sound of a bicycle and ran out to call his father. Zhang Weifang was cooking in the kitchen.
Looking at the dim lights and the enthusiastic Hu Zi, Li Hongru stopped thinking about it. He parked his bicycle, pushed the door and entered the kitchen. Looking at Zhang Weifang's busy figure, he felt very at ease.
"Weifang, a friend will come to me soon for something, so I have to go out."
"Oh, okay, come back early for dinner."
"You and Hu Zi eat first, don't wait for me." Li Hongru didn't know what Liu Shuangshuang wanted to talk to him about, so he didn't say anything final.
The two had been married for many years, and Zhang Weifang trusted him very much, so she didn't ask him who he was going to meet. She just took Hu Zi to have dinner and left him alone.
It gets dark quickly in winter. There are no street lights in the park, and the river looks pitch black. When the cold wind blows, the willow branches rustle, adding endless fear to the cold night.
Liu Shuangshuang stood alone under the willow tree, pacing back and forth. Her cheeks were red from the cold, her feet were stiff from the cold, and she became more and more anxious.
The waiting time is always long. In Liu Shuangshuang's endless expectation, Li Hongru finally arrived.
"Hongru, you're finally here. Time is limited, so I'll make it short. Zhu Lei's family was sent down to the countryside, and I divorced him. My daughter followed me. Now I'm going south through connections, but I can't take the child with me, so I'd like you to adopt her."
Liu Shuangshuang spoke so quickly and urgently that it took Li Hongru a long time to react:
"Liu Shuangshuang, you're crazy. You're raising your own child by yourself. I can't help you with this. She just left her father and can't afford to lose you as her mother."
"Hongru, I have no other choice now. The Zhu family is no match for me, and my mother's family is even worse. After thinking for a long time, I can only ask you for help."
Li Hongru didn't expect that she was still so cruel that she could even abandon her own child. He sneered:
"Liu Shuangshuang, don't come to me again. I won't help you."
After Li Hongru finished speaking, he turned around and left. On the way, he was extremely angry. He really overestimated Liu Shuangshuang's humanity.
Back then, both Li Hongru and Liu Shuangshuang were admitted to the provincial art troupe from small places.
From the very beginning, the two were ostracized by the group. No one in the group acknowledged their existence at all. Li Hongru, a young and inexperienced man, directly confronted the mainstay of the group.
The two agreed to have a competition one month later. If Li Hongru won, they would recognize him and Liu Shuangshuang. If he lost, Li Hongru would voluntarily leave the art troupe.
Under such forced and helpless circumstances, Liu Shuangshuang also agreed to this condition. She was a tough and kind woman, so she agreed to stand by Li Hongru's side.
For the next month, the two endured the ridicule of their teammates while silently training themselves.
Li Hongru is good at singing. He has a beautiful voice and unique sound, and the songs he sings have their own flavor.
Liu Shuangshuang is good at dancing. She secretly practices in the dance studio every night, stretching and doing splits. She concentrates on dancing her body, and every movement is full of power and precision.
The two practiced together, encouraged each other, sweated, and persevered.
A month later, the two sides ended in a tie. Taizhuzi's singing skills were very strong, and his voice and pitch were perfect. Li Hongru's voice was soft and delicate. Both of them had their own merits.
Liu Shuangshuang's progress was even more obvious. She could dance the red silk dance that was popular at that time, and she could make the red silk flow gracefully and elegantly, like blooming flowers, which was fascinating.
The progress and growth of the two people were recognized by the leaders, and everyone also recognized them openly.
In the following days, they rehearsed and performed together, and gradually became the new stars in the art troupe, and others no longer deliberately targeted them.
The two hardworking young people developed feelings for each other as they spent time together day and night, and they carefully maintained this relationship.
Li Hongru was full of energy and vigor at that time. He was enjoying success in both love and career. He felt that he had reached the peak of his life.
Good things always come with crises. During a performance to a government agency, Liu Shuangshuang was spotted by Zhu Lei.
Zhu Lei is a small clerk in the provincial steel plant. His father is the president of a university and his mother is also a university teacher who studied abroad.
Zhu Lei's pursuit was vigorous, and flowers, dresses, watches, etc. were given to Liu Shuangshuang as gifts.
At the beginning, Liu Shuangshuang of course refused. She had a like-minded partner, so how could she be corrupted by money? At that time, with Zhu Lei as a catalyst, the relationship between the two became better.
That day, Liu Shuangshuang's parents suddenly came to her workplace and forced her to go home and get married.
In their eyes, girls should get married when they grow up, especially since Liu Shuangshuang is beautiful and has such a good job, she is more likely to find a good partner.
