Chapter 208 My Wife Taught Me Well
"By the way, I'm going to the Hong Kong branch tomorrow. Don't you want to travel? Do you want to go with me?"
Xiangjiang?
Ji Ning nodded with eager eyes.
Go to Hong Kong and bring back some things for her good roommates.
…………
"Chunyan, my Hao Chunyan, you're finally back." As soon as Liu Siying saw Hao Chunyan coming in, she immediately went to greet her, looking at her bag, "Chunyan, your big brother sent you something again? That's great, what good things are you going to give me?"
She held out her hand as a matter of course.
Hao Chunyan's elder brother is abroad and often has good things.
She is Hao Chunyan's best friend. She is pitiful and her family is poor. Who else could Hao Chunyan give her to if not her?
However, this time, Hao Chunyan just looked at her deeply and was silent for a while, "I'm sorry, I can't give you these things."
After saying that, he went out with the bag.
Liu Siying was left shocked: How could she become so stingy?
Hao Chunyan walked out of the school and first found a pawn shop to pawn these things, exchanging them for a lot of money. While wiping away tears, she transferred the money to her eldest brother's account in Africa.
Just half a day ago——
Ji Ning's words reminded her that her elder brother only reported good news and not bad news?
But then she felt that it was impossible. It was a place with high income and low consumption. How could her brother not be living a good life?
With an uneasy heart, she called Brother Shanying, who went to Africa to work with her eldest brother.
When Brother Shanying heard her ask this, he was stunned and said, "No, your elder brother is very good."
When Hao Chunyan heard this, her heart sank a little. A cough came from the other side. Why did it sound so much like her eldest brother's voice?
The cough was so violent that it seemed to be filled with blood.
So she didn't rush to hang up the phone.
When the coughing sound faded away, Hao Chunyan said seriously, "Brother Shanying, tell me the truth, how is my eldest brother doing over there?"
Nowadays, the news broadcasts on TV always show a prosperous scene, saying that many people from our country have gone out to support their African brothers, but they do not capture the specific environment in Africa.
What we can see is that those foreigners seem quite kind and are quite friendly to Chinese people.
Brother Shanying said in an awkward tone, "Aren't you embarrassing me?"
"Brother Mountain Eagle!"
"Okay..." Brother Shanying spoke very quickly, "Your eldest brother was reluctant to get a tetanus shot even after being pierced by a nail. He has done this several times. He also said that it will pass if you just endure it, and he will leave more money for you. He said that he can't go to school, but it doesn't matter. You are the only college student in the whole village, and the only hope for your family."
"He said he didn't know what it was like to go to college, but he didn't want his sister to have less food and clothes and be looked down upon. He wanted his sister to have what others had."
"Chunyan, please try to persuade him. He can't be so optimistic. Several of our people have died of illness."
Hao Chunyan burst into tears.
Her elder brother was worse than Ji Ning said and she had imagined.
Her elder brother has worked so hard, but she actually uses his hard-earned money to act like a righteous person in front of her classmates!
Damn her!
Hao Chunyan blamed herself so much that her face turned red and her eyes were filled with tears.
That afternoon, she received some things sent to her by her elder brother, so she went to the pawn shop and exchanged them for money. She then remitted the money to her elder brother, telling him to get the injection and asking Brother Shanying to keep an eye on him.
The eldest brother said in a complicated tone, "Our daughter has really grown up and become sensible."
After doing all this, Hao Chunyan returned to the dormitory.
Seeing that her hands were empty, Liu Siying couldn't help curling her lips, "Chunyan, why did you go out? The milk biscuits you bought last time were delicious, even better than peach cakes... When will you buy them again?"
"I'm sorry." Hao Chunyan's eyes were filled with guilt. "I'm afraid I can't buy it again in the future." That bag of milk biscuits cost fifty cents.
She used to think that her elder brother made money easily, but that won’t be the case anymore. She needs to be more frugal.
Liu Siying was stunned.
She hooked up with Hao Chunyan because she was a tall tree and provided shade for her, and she was stupid and had a lot of money. Otherwise, what else did she want?
Today, when she saw the girl from the next dormitory dressed up Chu Niao so beautifully, she might as well move back. Could she be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?
So Liu Siying asked again tentatively, "Chunyan, let's go to the state-owned store again in a few days. The rouge you bought for me last time is very useful."
“I can’t go for the time being.”
"why?"
Hao Chunyan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not easy for my brother to make money."
Liu Siying was stunned for a moment, "You don't really believe what Ji Ning said, do you? She herself is not living well, and she wants to support a man. She must be jealous of you because your elder brother is supporting you."
"Your elder brother worked hard to make money for you. If you don't spend it, wouldn't that be disobeying your elder brother's kindness?"
This time, Hao Chunyan was not bewitched by her. When she closed her eyes, she could see her elder brother with coal dust all over his face, smiling foolishly at her report card. "I will study hard in the future and go out to eat and drink less."
Liu Siying: “…”
Well, she had no intention of falling out with Hao Chunyan, but recently Luo Xiaohan's boyfriend, the senior brother, had been flirting with her a lot. He was the only one who showed any kindness to her.
She went to college just to use it as a stepping stone, so she must seize the opportunity.
But isn’t he together with Luo Xiaohan?
Liu Siying pursed her lips.
No matter what, if she can’t control the man, it’s Luo Xiaohan’s failure!
…………
Although it was only the 80s, Hong Kong was already very prosperous.
As night falls, a huge white cruise ship silently plies the surface of the sea in the distance, and the neon lights of Victoria Harbour are bright and bustling.
In Central, there is a rush of traffic and a forest of steel vehicles lined up one after another.
It is the splendid and prosperous Pearl of the Orient.
Ji Ning was standing at the dock, with tall buildings in the background. She was wearing a fresh white suit, and her hair was the same curly style as Vivian Chow, with a wide white headband and pearl earrings. Her every frown and smile exuded a charming and alluring demeanor.
He gestured "yeah" in the direction of Zhou Jingmo, who half-knelt down, holding a Seagull twin-lens reflex camera and Kodak film in his hand.
A young couple was also taking pictures on the side, but the girl seemed dissatisfied with the boy's photography skills.
Looking at Zhou Jingmo, the man is tall, and he tried his best to take a good-looking photo of his wife. Even though his poses are weird and he looks like he has given it his all, he is still very handsome.
"Jason, look at them." The girl instantly became angry, with her cheeks puffed up like an inflated pufferfish.
Ji Ning also heard it, but she was still posing in various positions, thinking that Zhou Jingmo was actually a very straight man at the beginning.
Sure enough, the girl later brought the boy to learn from him. Zhou Jingmo was elegant and refined, with a distant but polite smile, and a hint of pride hidden in his eyes, "My wife taught me well!"
When he speaks Cantonese, there is a deep and sweet feeling in his voice.
Ji Ning opened her eyes wide: Hey, hey, hey, you're praising me, why are you so proud? !
