south and north

At nine o'clock in the evening, Pu Xiangnan was sitting in the warm and bright home, eating the meals cooked by his mother, so comfortable that he stretched out a lot.

"Fortunately, I bought a high-speed rail ticket. It's a bit more expensive, but it's quick!" Mom Ye Youlan murmured, "I've only been back in a few hours. When you went last time, you took the direct train, and it cost ten. For more than six hours, your father came and went back and forth, which is equivalent to two days on the road, and he didn't even go around Beijing, which is a pity."

"I'm at this age, and I don't have the energy to go shopping, and I sleep in a sleeper when I come back, so I don't suffer much." Pu's father laughed at the same time, "Besides, haven't we visited Beijing before?"

"What's the difference?" Ye Youlan pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and seriously reasoned with her husband, "You don't even think about when we went to Beijing. My daughter has gone to college. The country has developed rapidly these years. How many major events have happened, even a small town like ours has undergone earth-shaking changes, can Beijing still be the same as before?"

When the couple got married, the economy of small cities was not so developed, and there were no honeymoon and other tricks, but it was still fashionable for young men and women to go out together before marriage.If the conditions are not good, go to the provincial capital not far away, if the conditions are better, go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and if the economy is better, go to Beijing or Hong Kong.

Although the Pu family is not a wealthy family, Pu's father saved a sum of money and took his wife to Beijing. This matter is still talked about by Ye Youlan from time to time, and she is proud of it.For Beijing, the capital, I have always held a strong favorable impression.

This time she was willing to let Pu Xiangnan go to Beijing to go to university, mostly because of this good impression.Otherwise, Pu Xiangnan would most likely be asked to enroll in the nearest province to take care of him at home.

——Ye Youlan has a strong personality and has always been very strict with her daughter's affairs. It is not easy for her to let go.

At that time, she was also going to see Pu Xiangnan off, so she just took this opportunity to take another stroll around Beijing with Pu's father.After being married for so many years, she has never left the province very often, and it is a rare opportunity to revisit her old place, so she naturally does not want to miss it.

Unexpectedly, the news came suddenly, and a group of excellent teachers should be organized to study.This is a rare opportunity in several years. Ye Youlan hesitated for three days, and finally chose her career under the persuasion of her husband and daughter.When I mention it now, I naturally have regrets in my heart.

Pu Xiangnan was lost in thought while eating.Hearing what Ye Youlan said, she was also a little thankful that she bought a high-speed rail ticket, got on the train at noon, and could sit peacefully at home and eat at night, without having to choose between instant noodles and unpalatable and expensive train meals. Very good.

Guimo is of course a bit more expensive, but she has her own small treasury now, so she can afford it.

Just thinking of the small treasury, one can't help but think of that person.

Even buying high-speed rail tickets is her suggestion.The tickets for the Spring Festival Transport were issued early, and the relationship between the two was still very harmonious at that time, so Lu Yanbei was always by the side when buying the tickets.

At first, she suggested that Pu Xiangnan take a plane, but then she considered that the plane is not much faster than the high-speed rail, and the airport is often more remote than the high-speed rail station, and it will take more time on the road. In addition, the flight time is two hours earlier, and it will not be faster than the high-speed rail. How much faster, but the price is twice as expensive, so I gave up this option.

Such carefulness and thoughtfulness, Lu Yanbei said, all of this is just her disguise, in fact Pu Xiangnan is also very curious about what kind of growth environment allows her to learn so many messy skills that have nothing to do with survival.

When we went to the Beijing Zoo for the first time, Lu Yanbei once said that she didn't want to stay at home when she was a child, because she was too boring, so she went to study the creatures in the zoo.

Maybe the other knowledge she mastered came from this way too?

But what kind of family would make a child feel bored and unwilling to stay at home?

Or, the word "boring" is just an excuse used by Lu Yanbei to cover up the truth. The actual situation is infinitely more complicated than her understatement.

After thinking about it, she suddenly woke up and quickly suppressed all these thoughts.What was the truth, and what had it to do with her?Lu Yanbei almost said clearly, "Please stay away from me", she couldn't help but be savvy.

At this moment, she heard Ye Youlan's complaint, and she quickly broke into a smile, "Isn't this easy? You can go together when I go back to school, go a few days in advance, enjoy your shopping, and I can also be your tour guide." Woolen cloth."

"Wonderful idea!" Ye Youlan reached out and tapped her on the head, "It's the first time you don't know where you live, so it's fine for your parents to send you off. It's been a semester and you still need someone to send you off, so I'm not afraid that your classmates will laugh at you." !"

Pu Xiangnan was so wronged that he lowered his head angrily and took a mouthful of rice.

Pu's father said leisurely from the side, "What's the rush? When the child graduates and works in Beijing, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to go. I'm afraid you won't want to go."

Pu Xiangnan was suddenly stressed, and the rice in the bowl was not so delicious. She stared round her eyes, looked at her parents, "I didn't know before, do you two have such high expectations for me?"

Pu's father laughed loudly, and said to Ye Youlan, "Does this kid's accent sound like Beijing dialect?"

"Don't be afraid," Ye Youlan served her a bowl of soup, "Even if you are begging in Beijing, your income will be higher than in other places."

"..." Pu Xiangnan decided to bury his head in eating, turning grief and anger into appetite, and eating the poor family.

A few minutes later, she rubbed her slightly bulging stomach and lay on the sofa sadly, missing the big appetites of her classmates in the north.As for the few dishes on the table, Lu Yanbei can finish them by himself without anyone else, and if he eats with her, he can eat half a bowl more.

No, why did you think of this guy again?

It was only then that Pu Xiangnan realized that in just half a year of college career, Lu Yanbei had penetrated into almost every aspect of his life, and it was not so easy to get her out of his thoughts.

Ye Youlan came out of the kitchen and saw Pu Xiangnan lying on the sofa beating the pillow, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Her own daughter, how could she not know that this child has something on her mind?Just this night when I got home, I was distracted at every turn, and I didn't know who I was thinking about.

Of course Ye Youlan wanted to talk to her about this matter, but their family is a typical Chinese family, and everyone is used to expressing various emotions implicitly.In the past, when the school held a Mother's Day themed event, Pu Xiangnan said "Mom, I love you" when she came home. Ye Youlan, who had never said a nasty word in half her life, felt her ears turn red. ——Talking about relationship issues with the child is really embarrassing for her.

Besides, Pu Xiangnan has always been a good child who makes people worry-free. During the critical stages of study, such as junior high school and high school, she never let her worry about this aspect.Now that she is an adult and has gone to a university with a relatively relaxed and open environment, it is indeed time to consider this aspect.You can't wait until you graduate from university and rush her to find someone, right?

As for the problems encountered in relationships... To be honest, Ye Youlan doesn't think she can give too many suggestions about the relationship concepts of young people nowadays.

What's more, if Pu Xiangnan didn't want to talk about this kind of thing, he couldn't ask about it.

She stood there for a while, then turned around quietly and went to the study, pretending that she didn't find anything.

……

Pu Xiangnan was dragged to the class reunion the next day.

More than half of the students in a class stayed in the local university to go to university, and the others were scattered all over the place, and none of them were in Beijing like Pu Xiangnan.There were other classes, but she was a good kid who would go home obediently after school, and she didn't know many of them. We were not close, and the school was far away, so I didn't have much contact with each other for a semester.

Although I made a lot of new friends in college, it is precisely because their respective lives are very exciting that I can't wait to get together and say goodbye.

Of course, after talking about the post-farewell experience, gossip at school, and the topics of teenagers and girls, it is inevitable to return to the most exciting relationship.When I was in high school, falling in love was called puppy love, and I would be chased and intercepted by my parents and teachers. This time I went out and the world was wide open, without so many scruples, and almost everyone made progress.

The topic was too unfriendly, so Pu Xiangnan chose to shut up and ran to the corner to stay.

But even so, some people do not intend to let her go.

The male students who had drank a little wine booed together, "Where is Pu Xiangnan? You are so beautiful, you must be chased by many people, right? Come, tell me, is there any progress?"

While talking, he glanced at the red-faced boy next to him.

I don't know if it's "enlightened", but Pu Xiangnan, who used to be completely unable to see what Gan Changfeng and Tian Han were thinking, now feels that their thoughts are so shallow that they can be seen at a glance.

She wasn't interested in saying anything at first, but now she can't.This group of people is easy to get on top after drinking, and if they push people to confess their love, it means that neither side will be able to get off the stage.So she could only smile and say, "Where is it? People look down on me."

This sentence focused the topic from possible suitors to a certain person.

The female students suddenly said "Oh", and came over to ask, "So you have a crush on him?" "Who has such high vision that they even look down on you?" "Pu Xiangnan's vision is not low, right? He must be a handsome guy!"

While laughing and joking, no one noticed that the blood on a certain boy's face had completely faded. He retreated into the crowd and became much more peaceful.

Pu Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the topic to Beijing's scenic spots.It was obvious that she had been rejected like this, but no one was looking into the bottom line.The topic swung around and somehow turned to the final exam.

A classmate's school is very perverted. It is said that the results of the final exam will be sent to the parents before the Chinese New Year. They simply don't want people to have a good Chinese New Year. This immediately arouses the wailing of everyone and criticizes their own school.

Like Pu Xiangnan, without making a fuss, there are only a small number of people who have found most of the results not long after the exam.

Facing everyone's envious gazes, Pu Xiangnan's train of thought slipped somehow, and he suddenly thought of a question.

She confessed to Lu Yanbei on New Year's Day. In fact, Lu Yanbei's reaction was already obvious at that time, but he didn't reject her. He waited until the exam was over and he was going home. She was in a bad mood after being rejected, which affected her test scores?

...Really, thank her.
