Whether in his previous life or in this life, Song Wenjing had contact with very few girls. As for falling in love, this was his first time.
He actually doesn't understand the girl's thoughts.
From an emotional point of view, Yang Lili must like him, otherwise she wouldn't think about him everywhere.
But in Song Wenjing's view, Zhang Dong did help a lot this time, and this favor needs to be repaid. But when it comes to money, it's better to clear things up with Zhang Dong, and don't spend other people's money unclearly or with peace of mind.
Even if he doesn't have enough money at the moment, he will find a way to borrow it from others, or even sell his own treasure.
But Yang Lili still refused his money, which made him a little embarrassed.
Originally, the matter could have been explained clearly, but Zhang Dong ran out again, which made it impossible for him to continue.
In Yang Lili's understanding, it may be another view.
In her opinion, it was not easy for Song Wenjing to make money. He finally saved more than 200 yuan, and now he gave it all to her. She couldn't accept it.
And it is true that 200 yuan cannot solve the problem. In this case, the favor owed is already owed, so I don’t care if I add a little more. The big deal is that I can slowly make up for this favor in the future.
The difference in perspective caused a difference in thinking and cognition. This also made both of them unhappy.
And this is exactly what Zhang Dong wants to see.
Song Wenjing left and returned to his rental house.
But he did not give up. He planned to visit Yang Shulin again in two days to deepen the emotional connection between the two. At the same time, he also hoped that Yang Lili could accept his money and slowly pay back Zhang Dong's money.
.
As for the future, he will be able to earn a lot every month, and I believe he has the ability to help her family.
Three days later, Song Wenjing found his cousin Yiping and borrowed 150 yuan from him.
It's not that Yi Ping is unwilling to lend him more, but that Yi Ping's salary level is just that. He also has to live on his own, and Song Wenjing can't really force his cousin to borrow money for him again.
In this way, plus the harvest of waste paper and scrap metal during this period, Song Wenjing finally collected 400 yuan.
In the evening of that day, Song Wenjing came to the hospital again to visit Yang Shulin.
This time Zhang Dong was not here, but Yang Lili's mother was taking care of Yang Shulin.
"Uncle Yang, are you feeling better?" Song Wenjing put down the fruit in his hand and asked.
"It's Xiao Song, please sit down." Yang Shulin said in a neutral tone.
"Lili isn't here today?"
"Well, she has to go to work, so she can't be here with her every day."
"Then Auntie will have to work harder. If you need me to do anything, just ask. I still have plenty of time."
"No need to trouble you, Zhang Dong has arranged everything for you."
The two of them exchanged words without saying a word, and the atmosphere was obviously awkward.
Even though Song Wenjing now considered himself quite good at talking and chatting, he seemed a little helpless when he met Yang Shulin who obviously didn't want to talk to him.
Song Wenjing couldn't sit still or walk. Just when he didn't know how to deal with the matter, Yang Lili finally came over from get off work.
Seeing Song Wenjing sitting here, she smiled happily.
"Wen Jing, you're here. I'll peel an apple for you."
After speaking, without waiting for Song Wenjing to reply, he took out the largest apple from the fruit bag on the cabinet and started peeling it for Song Wenjing.
Seeing his daughter behaving like this, Yang Shulin's face became a little gloomy.
"Xiao Song, it must be hard for you to collect rags, right? How much money can you make if you are exposed to the sun and rain?"
Song Wenjing was a little embarrassed to answer such a question. He could hear the contempt in Yang Shulin's tone. To put it bluntly, he still looked down on a rag collector.
Even Yang Shulin is just a farmer farming at home and has no other ability to survive. But in front of collecting rags, he seems to have an innate sense of superiority.
Song Wenjing could not explain to the other party that there was no distinction between high and low professions. In the coming economic era, making money was the most important thing.
Talking about this with Yang Shulin is in vain and has no meaning. Once a prejudice is formed, if you want to change it, you can only solve it fundamentally.
"Uncle Yang, my current income from this business is pretty good. Of course, collecting rags is only temporary. When I have a certain amount of capital, I will definitely change my career."
"Tsk..." Yang Shulin, who was lying on the bed, sneered unceremoniously, "Xiao Song, you are still young. Anyone can talk big words, but it is difficult to actually do it."
"Dad, why are you talking like that? Wen Jing is only doing this temporarily. I believe he will find a better job."
Yang Lili on the side was a little dissatisfied with Yang Shulin's way of speaking, and couldn't help but talk back.
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here. Cough cough cough..." A violent cough sounded, and Yang Shulin seemed to be angry at his daughter's words.
Yang Shulin suffered a broken rib and had just undergone surgery, so he did not dare to speak loudly. Such a cough would certainly make people worried.
Yang Lili did not dare to say any more unnecessary words, and comforted Yang Shulin with tears in her eyes, asking him to pay attention to his health.
Seeing such a situation, Song Wenjing knew that it was time for him to say goodbye. If he stayed like this, Yang Shulin might look down on him and drive him away, which would make it even more embarrassing.
When Song Wenjing stood up and was about to hand the money in his bag to Yang Lili and leave, unexpectedly, Yang Shulin, who was already blushing due to coughing, waved his hand and said again: "Xiao Song, you young people have just graduated.
I'm still young now. You should focus on your work and don't think about other things all day long, okay?"
Haha, still young? In the 1980s, it was common for girls to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. There were many girls who were eighteen or nineteen years old and had two children. Song Wenjing and Yang Lili are about to turn 19 this year, so they are too young.
Yang Shulin's words like this were clearly to make Song Wenjing retreat in the face of difficulties and give up his delusions.
However, this time is not the time for a debate. Yang Shulin has just had an operation and is still lying on the bed unable to get up. There is no point in having a meaningless debate with him.
As long as he and Yang Lili truly love each other, he doesn't think anyone can break them up.
"Uncle Yang, I have remembered what you said. I won't disturb your rest. I will come to see you another day. Lili, this is my wish. Please accept it first. In the future, if you need anything, please contact me again."
Tell me."
After saying that, Song Wenjing put the 400 yuan wrapped in newspaper into Yang Lili's hand, then opened the door and walked out.
"Wen Jing, I'll give it to you."
Yang Lili didn't know what was in the newspaper, and didn't care at first. He just saw that her lover was leaving, so he felt a little anxious and wanted to talk to him again.
Song Wenjing wanted to agree, but at this moment, Yang Shulin coughed again. Yang Lili quickly went to support her father and patted his back.
Seeing this situation, Song Wenjing didn't know what Yang Shulin meant. He clearly didn't want Yang Lili to see him off.
Forget it, as the saying goes, the days are long.
Song Wenjing waved to Yang Lili and walked out of the ward a little frustrated.
"Lili, don't associate with people like this in the future. You are the cashier of a textile factory after all, and your future will be bright. He is just a rag collector. I will never allow you to be together unless I die and everything is over."
Song Wenjing, who had not gone far, heard Yang Shulin speak like this, and really wanted to rush into the ward and have a good talk with Yang Shulin again.
Little did he know that what Yang Shulin said just now was clearly meant for him to hear.
As soon as he stepped out of the ward, before the door was closed, he deliberately said these words loudly regardless of his condition. This made Song Wenjing feel angry and worried about their future union.
Song Wenjing still left, and now he was eager to show off and let Yang Shulin take a good look. Don't bully a young man into poverty!
But when he just walked downstairs, Yang Lili was already chasing after him.
"Wen Jing, please wait a moment."
Song Wenjing looked at Yang Lili who was chasing after him in surprise, a little confused.
"Where did you get so much money? Tell me the truth." Yang Lili asked.
"I borrowed it from someone else, but don't worry, I'll be able to pay it back soon. You can use these first." Song Wenjing was afraid that Yang Lili would not accept it.
Tears fell one drop at a time from Yang Lili's eyes, and her already handsome cheeks had a look that made me feel pity for her.
"Wen Jing, I really can't accept this money. It's not easy for you to make money, and I can't be so selfish. In addition, today our director has helped me apply for a 200 yuan advance salary. And my family just sold a few pigs at the end of last year.
