Liu Ying held an umbrella, feeling a little helpless as she waited in the wind and rain.
Today, some old classmates wanted to invite her to dinner to reminisce about old times. She was not willing to come, but one of her classmates had married a rich man a few years ago. She secretly revealed that her husband now works for the urban education committee.
The primary school in Daliang Village is lacking everything.
Liu Ying dreamed of improving the learning environment for her children, and she also hoped to give her children the opportunity to go out of the mountains, so she decided to go out and get together with these former classmates.
It’s just that the weather was not kind. There was a violent storm, and the dirty muddy water wet the hem of her skirt. The wind and rain stuck her neatly arranged hair to her beautiful face. The old classmates who had promised to pick her up were still missing.
.
Just when she was hesitating whether to go back to the village, a Toyota SUV stopped steadily in front of her, but the splashing rain wet her shoes again.
The car window rolled down, revealing a familiar face from the past, "Liu Ying, I'm sorry, I'm late. This is our first time in this city, and we took the wrong road. You won't blame me, will you?"
This woman has been my roommate for four years, her name is Sun Shuang.
"It's okay, I just arrived." Liu Ying said in a low voice.
"The hotel Shan Xiaoyuan has booked is right in front. Just walk over. Didn't you bring an umbrella? We'll go there first." Shen Shuang said with a smile, and already smiled at the man beside him: "Husband, let's go there."
Go over first."
Liu Ying looked at the car and drove away. Not far ahead, the sign in the hazy mist was the Jinhui Restaurant. She gritted her teeth, picked up her already wet skirt, and walked over.
.
Jinhui Restaurant is very grand. Even Liu Ying came back for the first time. At the entrance of the hotel, there were already several men and women waiting there.
"Liu Ying, why are you here? Come on, I'll be waiting for you. Yu Tao has reserved a box upstairs. We sisters have been together for so many years, so it's time for us to get together." Shan Xiaoyuan walked up, feeling intimate.
Taking Liu Ying's hand, the two seemed like good sisters.
The hotel is very stylish and the waiters' attitude is also very good.
But when Liu Ying looked at this hotel, she seemed to think of something... It seems that this is the hotel that Xiaoshan and the others were shouting at this morning, right?
Before she had time to think about it, her classmates had already pulled her up to the second floor and brought her into a private room.
Shan Xiaoyuan and Liu Ying are both locals. The difference is that Shan Xiaoyuan's home is in Xing'an City and she is from the city; while Liu Ying is from Daliang Village in Shangou. Shan Xiaoyuan's family is well off and he found a wife early.
Married to a civil servant in the local education department.
The other two, one is Sun Shuang and the other is named Wang Xiaojing, are classmates in the same dormitory. All three of them are married, and they are all in a couple.
This time it was Sun Shuang and his wife. They happened to be traveling nearby, so they were invited by Shan Xiaoyuan to get together. The three of them hit it off immediately, so naturally they had to get together with their old classmate, Liu Ying.
"Sun Shuang, I heard that your husband has become the department general manager of the unit a while ago? He has a bright future?" Wang Xiaojing said suddenly.
Everyone had already toasted at the beginning, and as they drank and ate, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
"Fortunately, he has been working hard in the work unit for seven or eight years. It's his now." Sun Shuang smiled happily. Her husband was seven years older than her. He had been working in the work unit for many years, and now it was finally his day.
Gaining the upper hand, "To tell you the truth, our old Li Ke is very prosperous. Have you seen the car outside? I just replaced it and paid for it in full.
Lao Li also said that if he has enough money next year, he will give me a whole car. Hey, our Lao Li is good at everything but loves me..." Sun Shuang started talking but couldn't stop.
When Shan Xiaoyuan heard this, he rolled his eyes, "My family is not as good as yours. It's hard to live in this system. However, the good thing is that we have all the real power in our hands. We will have a bright future in the future."
These women have been fighting each other since they were in college. The three women have a drama. These men also enjoy the flattery of their women and can't help but smile on their faces.
Suddenly Shan Xiaoyuan said: "By the way, Liu Ying, why are you just eating? How are you doing lately? Why don't you tell us?"
The men and women at the table couldn't help but look at Liu Ying.
Speaking of Liu Ying, these three women couldn't be more proud. When Liu Ying was studying, her family was not well off and she was one of the few truly poor households. However, she was beautiful and had many suitors during her college years.
But these three roommates often openly call her "good sister" and secretly make fun of her for being old-fashioned. But when they see the row of licking dogs, they can't help but feel jealous. They even secretly say that she is a vixen, pretending to be fake on the surface.
She is an innocent little white flower, but she is actually a temptress who plays tricks on her to seduce men.
Liu Ying was not originally invited to this dinner, but they all wanted to see how the then-university beauty was doing, so they made a special trip to find Liu Ying in the ravine.
Seeing her aggrieved look, they felt so happy. It was like "We feel relieved knowing that you are not doing well."
But Liu Ying didn't think so at all. She said: "Recently, I have been teaching in the primary school in the village and I am not as good as you. Xiaoyuan, didn't you say that your husband is from the Education Bureau? Can you help me..."
She said sincerely.
Shan Xiaoyuan's husband felt a little greedy when he saw Liu Ying's appearance. If nothing else, Shan Xiaoyuan looked so black. If it weren't for the fact that they were well matched and the family was busy, Xiaoyuan's family also had many connections.
, otherwise... he would not be happy to be with her. Compared with her, Liu Ying is simply a fairy from heaven!
Shan Xiaoyuan kept winking at him, but he pretended not to see it. He smiled and said: "The people in our Education Bureau also know the situation in Daliang Village. Let's do this. I will use my contacts to help you arrange dredging."
All at once..."
Shan Xiaoyuan couldn't hold it in anymore, so she took a hard guess at the instep of her husband's feet and said casually: "Liu Ying, my husband has helped you so much, why don't you have a glass of wine to show your appreciation?"
Shan Xiaoyuan's husband wanted to say something else, but Shan Xiaoyuan glared at her fiercely and said: "Xiaoyuan is right..."
Liu Ying whispered: "I...I don't know how to drink."
Shan Xiaoyuan suddenly sneered: "Liu Ying, my husband has gone out of his way to help you, but you don't even want to take a sip of wine. Isn't it too disrespectful? Is it possible that you are still afraid that we will eat you?
Besides, it would be nice if you had a man to help you stop drinking, but it’s a pity that he didn’t come..."
Liu Ying frowned, thinking of the smiling faces of those innocent and lovely children, she gritted her teeth, trembling hands, and was about to pick up the wine glass in her hand.
Suddenly the door was pushed open, "Sorry, I'm late, I'm late. I'll drink three drinks as a penalty myself. I also drank Liu Ying's wine for her!"
