The Pentium Era - South to North

During the May Day holiday, Chen Yaqin did not go back to her hometown. She felt that there was no point in going back. Apart from being nagged about not finding a man to marry, there seemed to be no other topics of conversation between her family and her.

The older she gets, the less she seems to have anything to say to her parents. When she was a child, she could act like a spoiled child. When she got older, when she went to work in other places, her parents showed affection to her and asked her questions about everything in Hangzhou. I am afraid that she will suffer alone in Hangzhou.

In the past few years, whether she can endure hardship in Hangzhou is no longer a concern of her parents. What they are most concerned about is when she will marry herself out. It seems that not getting married is the source of all evil. If you think a It's hard in Hangzhou, but that's because you're not married and don't have a family. Once you have a family, everything will be fine.

For parents, they never think about it. In many cases, getting married is the root of all evil. Haven't you seen so many couples fighting and getting married? After seeing this, you still hope that your daughter will get married?

Chen Yaqin feels that her parents are a bit unreasonable, but even the most unreasonable parents are parents. In fact, everything they say is what they want to say, but when they say it, there is a prefix, that is, for your own good. From your perspective, help you think about the problem.

This annoyed Chen Yaqin.

Her mother called yesterday and asked her if she would go back. She said no, and her mother immediately said, let's come over tomorrow. Chen Yaqin quickly said that she would be on a business trip early tomorrow morning.

Mom scolded, it was too much for Zhigen to have people go on a business trip on a day like this.

Lao Ni's nickname was Ni Zhigeng. Her mother was scolding Lao Ni, but after she finished scolding, she stopped talking.

What frightened Chen Yaqin and refused her mother to come was that when her mother came, she might not come alone, but bring some unreliable man with her. Rather than introducing him to her, he might say he was forcing her to come. He stuffed it into her, wishing they could have sex right away. Chen Yaqin's belly would grow bigger just by making a growl.

As long as Chen Yaqin's belly gets bigger, her mother will feel that she can explain all aspects, and then Du Youyou can speak.

The parents' forced marriage does not represent themselves, but all the forces that like to arrange others and gossip. These forces first put heavy pressure on the parents' heads, making them feel that they cannot lift their heads up. Not wanting to bow her head, she felt that she must force Chen Yaqin to bow her head.

On the day of May Day, early in the morning, there were people along the Mishi River below. There were opera singers, national standard dancers, and a large group of old ladies, all dressed up like Korean flower girls. Do the fan dance.

All the groups turned up their speakers to the loudest level. They felt that since it was a holiday, they had a reason to turn their speakers to the loudest level. Only those who stayed at home and slept at home during the holiday were inappropriate.

Chen Yaqin got out of bed with bare feet, walked outside, closed the balcony door, muttered, returned to the bedroom, fell down and continued to sleep.

Chen Yaqin woke up from hunger rather than from sleep. In her dream, she could hear her stomach growling. She opened her eyes and looked at her watch. She was also startled. Now It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. From last night to now, she had slept for more than ten hours.

Chen Yaqin got up, opened the refrigerator and took a look. There was nothing to eat in the refrigerator, only five eggs. Chen Yaqin took out two. She walked into the kitchen, put the pot on the gas stove, added water, lit it, and people came from I came out of the kitchen and went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face.

Looking in the mirror, she found a pimple on the edge of her nose. She squeezed it with her hand and squeezed out a blood spot. She quickly opened the cabinet, found cotton wool and iodophor, wiped it, and looked in the mirror after wiping it. Only then did she realize that this was too ugly. The place where the iodophor had been rubbed was like a stain on her fair face, which had not been cleaned.

Chen Yaqin quickly used facial cleanser, but when it didn't work, she used soap again. Only then did the traces of iodophor fade away, making it impossible to tell unless you look carefully.

After finishing all this work, Chen Yaqin thought that there was still water sitting on her gas stove, so she hurried to the kitchen. The water had already boiled and there was only the bottom of the pot. Chen Yaqin poured out all the water, added water again, and sat back down. On the gas stove, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked back to the living room and wanted to get instant noodles, but she went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror to make sure that the traces of iodophor were very weak. She touched it with her fingers, then walked back to the living room and took a pack. Instant noodles go back to the kitchen.

She poured the noodles and seasonings into the pot, cracked two eggs in, and held her hands in front of her chest. When she held her chest, she felt that her chest was a little tight. She looked down and couldn't help but press it with her hands. Flexible, Chen Yaqin smiled with satisfaction.

When the noodles were cooked, she put the noodles in a bowl, held the noodles, went to the living room, sat down on the sofa, took the remote control of the TV, turned on the TV, and ate the noodles while watching TV.

After finishing the noodles, I went to the kitchen to wash the pots and bowls. I returned to the living room and opened the door to the balcony. The sun was shining brightly outside. Although there were fewer people on the beige river in the afternoon, there were more cruise ships coming and going on the river. got up.

Chen Yaqin lay on the balcony and looked down for a while. She felt that it was unreasonable not to go out for a walk in such good weather. She walked back to the bedroom, changed her clothes, and walked into the bathroom again to look at the traces of iodophor. It seemed to be getting lighter. When I looked closer to the mirror, I felt it was even more obvious. I felt very anxious.

"Never mind him." Chen Yaqin muttered and walked out, looking resolute.

She walked outside to the living room and picked up her bag and car keys, but was stunned again. She didn't know where she was going. Thinking that today was May Day and there were people everywhere, Chen Yaqin seemed to have lost interest in going out. But looking at the clothes I had changed, I was unwilling to give in. I finally decided to go to the car to talk about it.

Chen Yaqin's life circle is really very small. When she was in the Keqiao factory, there seemed to be an invisible wall between her and the people around her. That rotten coward kept pestering her, and other men did not dare to get close. , and as for women, because Chen Yaqin is too beautiful, people of all ages are naturally hostile to her.

Later, after Chen Yaqin and Lao Ni had an abnormal relationship, regardless of whether others knew it or not, Chen Yaqin felt guilty and always felt that others were pointing fingers behind her back and talking about her and Lao Ni's affairs. She even more consciously Isolate yourself from others.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, in the company, their financial business department was an independent kingdom. Not to mention dealing with other departments, even if people from other departments said a few words to them, when Lao Ni saw it, he would put on a straight face and think that those The person was inquiring about the financial business department.

Coupled with the special nature of Chen Yaqin's and others' work, when they were still doing external marketing, they were in the office almost 24 hours a day. Even if they went home to sleep, they would go to the company early in the morning and not come back until midnight.

On Saturdays and Sundays, she and Ren Rongrong were almost always in the company, reviewing trading, drawing candle charts by themselves, and studying a lot of information. Throughout the year, they had almost no free time. Every day, they could see only a few people. It's just Ma Li and Baozhen who occasionally go out to eat or watch a movie.

Another person I often see is Lao Ni. Even the two bosses Liu Ligan and Meng Ping are hands-off shopkeepers and completely leave this piece to Lao Ni. They rarely show up at all, although every time When Meng Ping came, Chen Yaqin could see that Meng Ping still liked being with her. When they broke up, Chen Yaqin felt a little sad in her heart.

Chen Yaqin got into the car, and she remembered that she really wanted to hit the accelerator and rush out, keep driving until the highway, and drive to Nanjing like this. It was rare for her to have four days off, so why couldn't she go there? I have never been to Nanjing, so I went to see Meng Ping.

Chen Yaqin picked up her phone and wanted to call Meng Ping, but staring at Meng Ping's number, she gave up again. She thought of Qian Fang. Although she didn't know that woman's name was Qian Fang, she was familiar with her voice. , familiar with the slightly commanding tone when she spoke to Meng Ping.

Several times, Chen Yaqin heard Qian Fang ask on the phone: "Lao Meng, what else do you have to do in Hangzhou?"

Meng Ping looked at Chen Yaqin and hesitated.

Qian Fang said: "It's good to be back."

Next, Meng Ping will definitely say, OK, I’ll go back in the afternoon or evening.

Chen Yaqin sighed. She thought that Meng Ping must be with this woman now. They rarely talked on the phone. If they talked on the phone and the woman was around, what could Chen Yaqin say.

Chen Yaqin put down the phone.

She patted the steering wheel gently with her hand. She felt that she really didn't know where to go. West Lake, Hupao, Jiuxi, Manjuelong, and even Longjing must be crowded with people now, but that's it. Chen Yaqin felt unwilling to go downstairs or go back upstairs.

She finally thought about it and decided to go to the center of Hangzhou. The world-famous street there would not be like Yintai or Jiebai Hangbai. When the holidays came, they would do something to give away sixty-seven, seventy-eight or ten for every two hundred. There The venue itself is spacious, so it shouldn't be too crowded.

Chen Yaqin spent the entire afternoon shopping in the center of Hangzhou, looking at each store but buying nothing. It wasn't that the things here were expensive and she couldn't afford them, but that she felt that whether it was clothes or bags, she couldn't even wear them. There is no chance.

As for cosmetics, Chen Yaqin basically doesn’t use them.

They go in and out of the car in the morning and return home in the morning. When they get to the office, they want to change into pajamas and pajamas. But now Lao Ni keeps coming in. They no longer wear pajamas and pajamas, but they also wear very loose and casual pullovers and elastic pants. .

After shopping around five o'clock, Chen Yaqin went to the eighth floor. There were dozens of restaurants in the food area on the eighth floor. There were many people waiting for dinner outside some stores. Chen Yaqin chose a Chaozhou restaurant that seemed empty and left. Go in.

She absent-mindedly read the menu for a long time, and finally asked the waiter to recommend a few dishes. She ate them absent-mindedly, not finding them delicious or not delicious. The waiter kindly gave her a package for those she didn't finish. , walked out of the store, but Chen Yaqin thought it was too troublesome to carry the takeaway, so she put it on a stainless steel trash can.

After walking down one floor, I saw a movie theater on the sixth floor. Chen Yaqin didn't choose any movie. She just bought tickets for the show that was about to open. She went in and sat down, only to find that the movie was showing "The Beginning of Spring" directed by Gu Changwei and starring Jiang Wenli. It was so depressing to watch that Chen Yaqin felt that she seemed to see her own shadow in Wang Cailing.

Chen Yaqin wanted to stand up and leave several times, but she still insisted on finishing the movie.

When the show ended and all the audience had left, Chen Yaqin stood up as the last one and walked out silently.

Chen Yaqin returned home and collapsed on the sofa, feeling that she was about to fall apart. She seemed to have done nothing all afternoon, but she felt very tired, even more tired than if she had stayed up all night.

Chen Yaqin picked up her phone and looked at it. There was a missed call from her mother. Chen Yaqin didn't bother to reply. She knew that there was nothing else to do when she went back. It was just to ask her where she went on her business trip and who she went with. If Chen Yaqin said that the person traveling with her was a man, her mother would immediately become excited and ask carefully who the man was.

If it was a woman, her mother would immediately lose interest.

Chen Yaqin threw her phone aside, picked up the TV remote control and pressed it.

Only then did she remember that it was a mistake not to go to the supermarket and buy some food when she came back. In this way, she would have to go out tomorrow.

Thinking about the fact that there were still three days left for this holiday, Chen Yaqin felt even more why it was so long.
