Chapter 274 Blueprint for the Floating World (83-89)-28
Xiuxiu never thought she would meet Lu Qinglin again. When he stood tall in front of her, she was a little confused.
Lu Qinglin's name was among the inviters, but he did not send a reply.
It would have been best not to meet, but four years later he suddenly stood in front of her. Xiuxiu thought about all the help he had given her in the past, and she still felt grateful.
"Don't you even call me Brother Lu?" Lu Qinglin smiled and said, "I mustered up a lot of courage to walk up to you!"
Although his eyes were marked by time, his smile was still bright, which immediately pulled Xiuxiu back to the past. She collected her emotions and said calmly: "Brother Lu! Have you returned to Zhixi? "
"I'll be back in two years!" Lu Qinglin said, handing her the bag in his hand: "Lingzhi asked me to bring this to you! She will be transferred to Zhixi Bank next year, and then you can see each other often."
Xiuxiu took the bag and it was a box of cosmetics from Japan.
Cui Lingzhi has been working at a bank in Shenzhen City for two years. She is very busy at work, and her correspondence has become very rare. She occasionally talks on the phone, but because of the long distance and different environment, there is nothing to talk about. Lingzhi is about to return to Zhixi. , Xiuxiu doesn’t know yet.
Xiuxiu looked at the contents in the bag, lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you!"
The two of them were speechless, and the air suddenly became quiet. Lu Qinglin suddenly spoke in the silence: "I thought that after so many years, I would see a vulgar woman who was consumed by marriage..."
Has it become vulgar? Xiuxiu looked up at him and opened her mouth, really not knowing how to respond to this sentence.
Lu Qinglin smiled at her again: "But you don't seem to... It can be seen that he takes good care of you. You have no regrets about marrying him!"
Xiuxiu blinked, thinking about his words, and said, "Maybe it's not marriage that makes people vulgar, but time and favor. People who don't get married will also become vulgar!"
Lu Qinglin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Are you saying that I look vulgar now?"
Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment: "No... you just look... a little tired!"
He has become thinner, and his eyes are no longer as bright as before. Feng Yingying often talks about him in the letters she writes to Xiu Xiu. He has a deep connection with a certain big boss in Shenzhen City. Now he is working in the wholesale business in Nangang. The mall is very big.
Thanks to the support from Nangang, Shenzhen City, his Hualu Shopping Center in Zhixi has always been at the forefront of the trend due to its avant-garde supply of goods, and now it has expanded to several stores.
Now the Hualu Shopping Mall next to the TV factory has been delivered. Although the investment has not been completely completed, it is only a matter of time.
Lu Qinglin took out a box from his pocket and handed it to her, saying: "I went on a business trip to Germany this year. When I saw this, I really wanted to buy it back for you. I knew you might not accept it, so I put a box in it. Photos in!”
Xiu Xiu hesitated, then reached out to take it. Inside was a pocket watch as big as the palm of her hand. It was made with precision. When she opened the cover, there was a photo embedded on the other side of the hands.
It was the moment when the three sisters looked back while queuing up at the long-distance bus station with their balls in their arms. Xiuxiu didn't know when Lu Qinglin took the photo. It should have been taken when he was sending them to the long-distance station.
She looked at herself in the photo. She was young and simple, with a delicate and childish face, but her eyes were very unique. Xiu Xiu herself felt that they were very unique. Her eyes at that time were deep and firm, clear and clear. vast.
At that time, Lingzhi's eldest brother had just died, and Zhang Jiancheng's life or death was uncertain. Xiuxiu was running a clothing business and went to the city to find sales. The time was fixed in the summer of 1979. She was confused but extremely determined for the future.
Xiuxiu rubbed the cold metal texture of the pocket watch, and then saw a row of words engraved on the back. She tried to spell it out, it was not German, but English.
She spent the past two years intermittently using English dictionaries to accumulate a little bit of knowledge from the English reading book sent by Cui Lingzhi, and translated it in her mind. The approximate meaning of that sentence is: You stand in time and marvel at me. A glance became the eternal light in my heart...
She kind of understood why Lu Qinglin had a soft spot for her! The unique temperament she revealed in an instant hit his imagination of a beautiful woman.
Xiuxiu knew that the image of herself that remained in his heart was not real, and she felt very sorry.
Lu Qinglin was immersed in his hope for her, and said in a low voice: "Every time I look at this photo, I find it unbelievable. Your eyes seem to hold an entire unknown era..."
When I received the news of your marriage, I was on the construction site. My Hualu Commodity Wholesale Mall was being expanded. I felt that everything in front of my eyes was dark... Lu Qinglin stopped speaking and did not say the words in his heart.
Xiuxiu's eyes were a little blurry: "Another watch!" She tried her best to joke: "I gave the watch you gave me last time to Yingying!"
Lu Qinglin was silent for a moment and smiled: "I know!"
"This..." Xiuxiu took the pocket watch, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll forward it to Chang'an! It's Dandan. He changed his name. Now he's called Chang'an, Zhang Changan!"
Lu Qinglin's eyes darkened, he looked at her for a long time, and finally replied "That's fine."
"Brother Lu!" Xiuxiu breathed deeply and raised her eyes to meet his gaze:
"Just a moment's glance is not enough to make people miss you all the time. If I really have an era in my eyes, you must be the leader and winner of that era. Do you believe it?"
Lu Qinglin looked at her carefully with a serious look on his face, and after a while he responded: "I believe it!"
Xiuxiu felt that she had expressed her meaning very clearly. She wondered whether Lu Qinglin could get out of the knot that she had misled him. She sincerely hoped that he would be happy!
In the evening, Xiuxiu gave the pocket watch to Chang'an: "This is a gift from Uncle Qinglin!"
Zhang Changan put down the writing pencil and took the pocket watch. His eyes lit up. After playing with it for a while, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Uncle Qinglin? Which Uncle Qinglin? Why don't I remember it?"
"You had such an uncle when you were very young!" Xiu Xiu stroked her son's hair and whispered in his ear: "He is a big boss. If you keep it, you can go to him if you want to make money in the future!"
Chang'an nodded and quickly put it away. When he closed the drawer, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "But my dad is also a big boss!"
Xiuxiu did not shy away from Zhang Jiancheng. He was rummaging through clothes in the nearby closet. The conversation between mother and son at the desk was clear to my ears.
He turned around and asked Xiuxiu with an unhappy look on his face: "Where did my woolen coat go?"
Xiuxiu stood up and wondered: "A woolen coat? When did I buy you a woolen coat?"
Zhang Jiancheng's voice was low, his brows were furrowed, and his face was serious: "The one you wore when you got married!"
Xiuxiu sneered: "It's not late autumn yet. Don't you feel hot wearing a woolen coat?"
"I asked where to put it? I want to wear it!"
"It's in the village. I didn't bring it over. Why do you have to wear that one? Isn't this one pretty?"
"This is a jacket! I have two! Why do you always put jackets on me! I don't want to wear jackets anymore! Why don't you prepare a windbreaker for me?"
Zhang Jiancheng had never looked so childish and unreasonable. Xiuxiu tilted her head and looked at him. After thinking about Lu Qinglin's handsome image in a windbreaker today, it suddenly became clear that this man was not happy after all.
Xiuxiu walked up to him, stood up on tiptoes and grabbed his collar, deliberately showing anger: "You said it yourself. You often go to construction sites, so you should try to wear work clothes instead of flashy clothes like windbreakers. No. Convenient to work with!”
Zhang Jiancheng nodded, thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case: "That doesn't count anymore, hurry up and get me a windbreaker to wear!"
Xiuxiu sneered: "How tacky a windbreaker is! Do you know how well this kind of jacket suits you? It has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. Let your son see if he looks particularly handsome!"
Zhang Changan covered his mouth and snickered when he saw his father's embarrassed look.
Zhang Jiancheng took off Xiuxiu's hand and walked to his son: "Why are you laughing!"
Angrily, he opened the drawer and took out the pocket watch, opened it and saw the photos inside. He looked at it for a long time, then looked back at Xiuxiu, his expression darkened and then brightened, and he muttered: "I just answered the call and left." In half a year, you went out and provoked such a big peach blossom for me..."
Xiuxiu stood in front of him with her arms folded across her chest, deliberately angrily saying: "That's not as good as you. You're the one who attracts all the bad guys, and you dare to come directly in front of me to provoke me..."
Zhang Jiancheng quickly dropped the topic and grabbed her into his arms. Zhang Changan took the opportunity to squeeze in between the two of them, raised his head and asked, "Mom, what is peach blossom?"
Zhang Jiancheng lowered his head and pinched his son's face, his tone still annoyed: "Peach blossoms are the flowers that bloom on peach trees in spring. You are already in third grade and you are asking such a childish question?"
After saying that, he let go of the mother and son, put on his clothes and walked towards the door: "I'm going back to the village!"
Xiuxiu asked: "It's Wednesday today, what are you going to do back?"
"Bring our dad over to help look after the kids for two days. I'm going to the city. I'll be back next week. You happen to be in town for a meeting. I'll take you with me tomorrow!"
As soon as she arrived at work the next morning, Xiuxiu got a ticket for a work exchange meeting in the city. It seemed that Zhang Jiancheng had known about this for a long time.
Zhang Jiancheng has been very busy recently on business trips to the city, and he has won projects in the city.
He wanted to mobilize the whole company to keep an eye on this project, and he might spend a lot of time in the city in the next year. He was afraid of Xiuxiu and worried about it, so he took advantage of his position to take her to see the environment of his new project.
Four years after their marriage, they still had not conceived a child, so Xiuxiu took this opportunity to secretly go to the city's maternity hospital for another check-up.
The hospital's imaging equipment has been upgraded and is in better condition than before. The technology has improved a bit and can perform more tests.
Xiuxiu went through several twists and turns in the hospital. When she finally got the results, she couldn't recover for a long time...
