The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

  Chapter 18, the grudge between Ai Qing and Ruan Xiuqin

  Du Shuangling has a delicate face and clear facial features. She wore a beige trench coat today.

  Her hair is held freely. Some of the hair ends are soft on the shoulders, some are slumped in the neck, and some are gathered in front of the coveted chest. The pointed ends of the hair seem to have a big mouth, which means that men want to take a bite.

   I don't know if it's an illusion, she's still a girl, but Du Shuangling is like the only light in the dark world, her temperament looks natural and harmonious, so dazzling.

   But what impressed Zhang Xuan the most about this woman was not her top-notch temperament and appearance, but her voice.

   She speaks with a unique rhythm, neither hurried nor slow, like the ding dong of mountain spring water, cool and pleasant.

   I remember that it was in 1987. When Du Shuangling opened his mouth when the first-year freshman introduced himself on stage, in the hot September, the boys in the class seemed to be as refreshing as eating mints.

   It is said that Du Shuangling's family can come to drink wedding wine today, and it is also related to Ai Qing.

  Ai Qing and Ruan Xiuqin were both from Zhushi City, and they were both educated youths who went to the mountains and the countryside in those days. The relationship between the two has always been very delicate, an enemy not an enemy, a friend not a friend.

  I didn't deal with each other very much when I was in the city. Later, I was assigned to a place in the countryside, and the relationship had eased, but even so, both of them regarded each other as good friends, but at the same time they didn't like each other, and they were competing openly and secretly.

  We competed hard when we were studying in the city, we competed well when we were in the song and dance troupe, and we competed even more when we went to the countryside, but they were always on the same level.

  Unfortunately, Ai Qing won in the end. Although the phoenix had fallen, he still took full advantage of his beauty and became a daughter-in-law for the mayor. Later, with the support of the mayor, he went to the health school, worked as a doctor in the town health center, and now he is the director.

   On the other hand, Ruan Xiuqin, the Zhang family was hospitalized in the town health center several times, and received favors from Ai Qing both overtly and secretly.

  Especially when Zhang Xuan suffered from severe acute enteritis and was in shock due to blood-pulling, Ruan Xiuqin bowed her head to Ai Qing for the first time, so there was a story of Du Jingling who brought back western medicine from Xiangya Hospital overnight to Germany.

   Moreover, Zhang Xuan and Yang Yongjian were able to take Du Shuangling's express train to Shao City to study high school, which is also the relationship between Du Kedong and Ai Qing.

   Otherwise, these two poor people want to go to Shao City to study, is that the Spring and Autumn Dream still awake?

   Therefore, in Zhang Xuan's view, Comrade Ruan Xiuqin and Ai Qing both have many shortcomings and are hypocritical.

  It is clear that the two hate each other emotionally, but rationally pay attention to each other's every move. If one party suffers, they will feel distressed and sad.

   Du Kedong and Wu Guorui were holding a large circle of firecrackers and setting off.

  Ai Qing walked to Ruan Xiuqin with her eldest daughter Du Jingling, smiled and said congratulations, and handed over the red envelopes respectively.

   With the shout of the commissary owner who kept the account, everyone's curiosity was answered: "Ai Qing is 888 yuan, Du Jingling is 620 yuan."

   As expected of a rich man, he is lavish! The surrounding neighbors looked at the beautiful mother and daughter thinking so, more or less an indescribable sour taste in their hearts.

  The money is indeed quite a lot, it can be regarded as a super big red envelope these days!

   But only Zhang Xuan knew that the money was just going through the motions at most, and Comrade Ruan Xiuqin would never accept it, not even a cent.

   If you suffer, it will not be Ruan Xiuqin.

   brought a few people into the house, and Zhang Xuan personally served them hot tea.

  From the old to the young, when it was Du Shuangling's turn, Zhang Xuan looked up and down and asked:

   "Did I have an illusion, you grew taller again during the winter vacation?"

  Du Shuangling took the teacup and held it in both hands, bowed her head and took a sip, and said "um".

   Zhang Xuan tilted his head and frowned: "No, I'm talking to you, you just hum?"

Seeing that he was being naughty to herself, Du Shuangling stared at him for 10 seconds. At a certain moment, her beautiful face bloomed like a peony, showing boundless smiles and joy, and said, "I am 166 now, and I have grown up. one centimeter."

   "Hmm..." Zhang Xuan, who held a grudge, also learned to say um, and left, busy.

   In the morning, guests came one after another, and Zhang Xuanke, who was pouring tea and water, was exhausted. Fortunately, Du Shuangling saw it and helped her out.

   finished serving tea to another wave of people, and while taking advantage of the break, Du Shuangling said, "Your sister has a good look today."

   "My aunt took someone to do her make-up in the morning." After explaining it again, Zhang Xuan half-truth and half-hypothesis leaning against the eaves and pillars:

   "Don't let your mother hear this, she won't be convinced."

   "Yes!" Du Shuangling admitted with a smile.

   She is also very helpless. The two friends are both at this age, and it is rare to be angry like a child sometimes.

   After 12 noon, according to the custom, there will be no more guests. Zhang Xuan can finally rest after putting down his burdens.

   led Du Shuangling into his room, he just fell on the bed, closed his eyes and yawned:

   "The house is poor, you can find a place to sit, I won't be polite to you. I didn't sleep last night, I'm very sleepy now."

  Du Shuangling stared at someone on the bed for a quiet moment, then looked at the various miscellaneous gifts piled up on the desk and bench, is it really casual? But where do you sit?

   In the end, she couldn't do anything. After hesitating for a while, she was really tired from standing today, so she chose a corner at the end of the bed and sat down.

  The woman's eyes slowly swept around the room, and her eyes finally stopped on the pictorial.

   asked at the end: "Your uncle's snoring affects your sleep?"

   "Hey, what's more, I'm going to collapse these days." Complaining, Zhang Xuan asked subconsciously, "How did you know?"

  Du Shuangling said, "You told me and Yongjian when you were in the second year of junior high school that your uncle snored and kept you from falling asleep for several days."

   "Really, did I say that?"

   "Well, it was the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and I said it when I came back from winter vacation and started school."

   "Oh, I don't remember." After so many years, how could Zhang Xuan still remember such a thing.

   One was lying down with his eyes closed, the other was sitting upright, the two of them were just as usual, just chatting with each other...

   In the middle, Du Shuangling thought of something, got up and went outside and brought in two boxes of dark chocolate, and said softly, "I brought your favorite things from Changsha."

   "What? Renminbi?"

   Zhang Xuan opened his eyes at the right time, took a glance at it and said happily, "It's chocolate, it's rare that you still think of me, I haven't eaten this for a long time."

   When he saw the chocolate, he was greedy, Zhang Xuan decisively opened the package, handed a piece to the woman, and then started eating.

   It was only halfway through, he raised his head and asked, "Have you left anything for Comrade Yang Yongjian, do you want me to leave some for her?"

  Du Shuangling nodded lightly: "I kept it for her, at home."

   Then she asked with concern: "You said it was RMB, are you short of money now?"

   Zhang Xuan ate something in his mouth and answered vaguely: "You are not good at asking this question, when will our family not be short of money?"

   Du Shuangling, who was choked and speechless, smiled beautifully, nibbled at the chocolate, and stopped taking this stubborn thing.

   Seeing her like this, Zhang Xuan passed her in his heart. It seems that his guess was correct. The "Xinhua Dictionary" and the 1,000 yuan were really not given by her.
