Yao Xiuqing smiled bitterly and said: "Who knows? I know people but don't know their hearts. It was very good when I was in the troupe. But as soon as I came out, it changed and I didn't even recognize it. If it hadn't been for the old lady who has been relying on me all these years and helped me I might not be able to survive with the baby.”
Zhang Yongsheng asked in confusion: "Where are your parents? You suffer so much outside, do they care about you?"
Yao Xiuqing shook her head and said: "I didn't tell them. I haven't contacted them since I left home. We ran out by force at the beginning. How can we have the shame to go back now? If it hadn't been notified by the police, the old lady wouldn't have Come to Jiangyuan."
Zhang Yongsheng nodded, he could understand Yao Xiuqing's mood. After all, she ended up in this land and was burdened with loan shark debt. She could no longer see her parents. She has a strong personality and has always refused to admit defeat. These things made her lose face, and she was even more embarrassed to return to her hometown.
After looking at the environment of the living room and the old furniture and appliances, Zhang Yongsheng said: "This house must be old, and the walls are peeling everywhere. The furniture and appliances are also very old, at least ten years old. You see See if there is a suitable house nearby and move there as soon as possible."
Yao Xiuqing nodded and said: "This is the house that Huang Jian and I first rented when we came to Jiangyuan. We have lived here for almost ten years. The landlord is very good to us. Not only does he not dislike us, he has never even raised the rent. I have all the money in my hand." If you want to keep it to pay off your debt, it’s already good to live here.”
Zhang Yongsheng smiled and said: "You don't have to worry now, I will take care of the debt. You find a house as soon as possible and settle your family affairs. You think about what you will do in the future and how much it will cost, and I will pay for it. Next year the child will be born It’s time to go to elementary school, so you have to make some preparations in advance.”
As he spoke, Zhang Yongsheng took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the table: "There are more than one million on this card. You can spend it first, and seize the time to settle down at home. I have some things to do in the past two days. I have to do something, but I can't accompany you all the time. I asked Tang Jiawei to send someone to protect you, and let him run errands if there is anything."
Yao Xiuqing looked at the bank card on the table and wondered whether he should accept it. Although Zhang Yongsheng had promised when they were in the nightclub, now she was hesitant again. Giving her one million at a time, Wen Yujun, who had taken care of her before, had never been so generous to her.
Zhang Yongsheng saw her anxiety, grabbed her palm, pressed the bank card in his palm, and said with a smile: "Now you should feel at ease and no longer anxious. I understand your situation, please take care of it quickly. , let’s go back and talk to Liu Yang.”
Yao Xiuqing put her bank card in her bag, kissed Zhang Yongsheng on the face, and said gratefully: "As long as you don't dislike me, I will follow you for the rest of my life. If one day you dislike me for being old or getting tired of it, you must Tell me in advance and I won’t embarrass you.”
Zhang Yongsheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry. If that day doesn't happen, don't think too much. Go get ready quickly. Liu Yang and the others are probably arriving soon."
Yao Xiuqing turned around and went back to her room. The main thing she had to prepare was to pay off her debt. Although she has to pay a sum of money to the loan shark company every month, this time she is going to settle it all at once, so she needs to prepare more procedures. These loan sharks are not easy to mess with, and they are very shrewd when settling accounts.
Zhang Yongsheng was a little idle and looked at the sign on the coffee table. This is an old-fashioned solid wood coffee table that is quite old. There is a large glass plate placed on the surface of the coffee table, and some photos are pressed under the glass plate. These signs are either colored or black and white, and they are all Yao Xiuqing's signatures.
After looking at it for a while, Zhang Yongsheng was attracted by one of the photos, which was a graduation photo of Yunshan No. 1 Middle School. The graduation photos are a few years old, and the students in them are dressed in a very contemporary way. Judging from the colorful lettering above, this photo was taken twelve years ago.
This surprised him. He didn't expect Yao Xiuqing to be a graduate of Yunshan No. 1 Middle School. Yunshan No. 1 Middle School is the best among county-level middle schools. Its college entrance examination admission rate exceeds 60% and it is very famous in several surrounding counties. In the eyes of people in Yunshan and surrounding counties, entering Yunshan No. 1 Middle School means having one foot in the university gate.
Nearly half of the students in Yunshan No. 1 Middle School are blocked from university every year. It seems that Yao Xiuqing is one of those unlucky losers. Yunshan and Hegang are two neighboring counties. It is very common for students from Hegang to study in Yunshan No. 1 Middle School. This is how Yao Xiuqing entered Yunshan No. 1 Middle School.
After carefully identifying the portraits in the photos, Zhang Yongsheng still found Yao Xiuqing, although the photos were a little blurry because they took too long. Yao Xiuqing is very beautiful in the photo. She is in the prime of her youth. Although she is dressed relatively plainly, she cannot block her natural beauty.
Among the girls in the graduation photos, Yao Xiuqing is obviously the most beautiful. Compared with her now, she is a little less sexy and charming, but more pure and elegant. She is like a white swan among ducks. Even though she is not specially dressed, she is still very eye-catching and can be recognized at a glance.
Yao Xiuqing packed up her things and came out. She saw Zhang Yongsheng looking at the photos on the coffee table and asked, "What are you looking at? They are all old photos. They are blurry and not good-looking."
Zhang Yongsheng said happily: "You are good-looking, who says you are not good-looking? This is your best age. It gives people a pure and elegant feeling. You are definitely the school beauty among your group."
Yao Xiuqing looked at her graduation photos and laughed at herself: "At that time, I was just a firewood girl who didn't understand anything. How could she be so good-looking? It's not like today's students who understand everything before they even go to high school. I watched the news a few days ago. , a junior high school girl from Jiangyuan gave birth to a child when she was only fourteen years old, she is so open-minded."
Zhang Yongsheng said with some regret: "Yunshan No. 1 Middle School is a good school. Your high school grades should be very good. Why didn't you choose to repeat the year and instead choose to go back to Hegang to become an actor? I think if you had repeated the year , maybe I can get into college."
Yao Xiuqing sighed: "I thought I was very good at that time, but who knew I failed the exam. I originally wanted to repeat the exam, but my parents wouldn't let me. It would be futile to study again. It happened that the song and dance troupe in Hegang was recruiting people. My parents showed the photo to others, and they chose me."
The more Zhang Yongsheng looked at it, the more he liked it, so he gently lifted the glass plate and took out the photo from the gap: "This photo was not saved well, and the surface is a little blurry. After I went back, I took the time to go to No. 1 Middle School to ask someone. Can you find the original negative and develop another one?"
Yao Xiuqing said politely: "This is too troublesome. They are all photos from more than ten years ago. At that time, each person only had one photo and no negatives were given. It is very likely that the negatives cannot be found now."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled and said: "I think this photo is very meaningful. You should keep it well. I have a friend whose elder is in No. 1 Middle School. You can ask her family members to help ask. You in this photo are the most important thing in your life. When you are good, you can’t lose it.”
