Song Yuping believes that everyone who has achieved success in their career has their own opinions. Although Fang Hanmin's stubbornness makes her a little helpless, she feels that she should be tolerant of different personality traits and there is no need to take such trivial matters to heart.
After leaving the handicraft market, perhaps in order to collect writing materials, Song Yuping was very interested in the performances of folk artists. Although these folk arts did not have any appeal to Fang Hanmin, he still bit the bullet and watched with Song Yuping for more than half an hour.
Feeling a little tired from standing, Fang Hanmin saw an empty bench about ten meters away. He suggested, "There is a place to sit over there. Let's go over and sit for a while."
"OK."
The two of them came to the bench hand in hand and sat down. The weather was cooler again. They cuddled each other. Fang Hanmin suddenly said: "Yuping, I am not a romantic person. Do you feel bored?"
Song Yuping glanced at him sideways, "Why did you remember to tell me this?"
"It's okay, just chatting, because I feel a little dull myself."
"Now that I'm aware of it, why can't I make some changes?"
"It's one thing to realize it, but it's another thing to change yourself. It's said that a country is easy to change, but nature is hard to change!"
Song Yuping nodded, "I also think it is not easy to change yourself, but you are very self-aware, which is commendable. Although we are not in the same grade and class, in high school, I found that you are a relatively old-fashioned person. When the class engages in cultural activities, in addition to the entertainment committee members, the class leader is very happy to organize them, but in your class, I see it is the entertainment committee member who organizes them every time."
"Have you discovered all this? It seems that you have really paid attention to me for a long time. Am I so attractive to you?" Fang Hanmin deliberately showed that he felt very good about himself.
"Hey, you really think too highly of yourself!" Song Yuping rolled her eyes at him, "You attract my attention, firstly, because our two classes are neighbors and have many opportunities to meet; secondly, you have not shared the burden for the entertainment committee member of your class. Responsibility, you, the squad leader, have neglected your duty!"
"Hey, Song Yuping, you used to see all my strengths, but now you see all my shortcomings. Has your opinion of me changed too quickly?"
"My opinion of you has not changed at all. It's just that I didn't mention your shortcomings before, and now I don't deny your advantages. Even if you have a stubborn temper, I think it is part of your personality, which is completely okay. Tolerance. You said just now that you are not romantic, but in fact I don’t care whether you are romantic or not. The meaning of life is much more than that, and it is not a big deal if you don’t know how to be romantic. No one is perfect, so why should you be so demanding on yourself? "
As expected of a middle school Chinese teacher who graduated with a Chinese major, Song Yuping's words left Fang Hanmin speechless. Originally, Fang Hanmin brought up the topic of romance himself, and Song Yuping had never talked about this kind of thing with him.
"Yuping, are all you Chinese majors so good at talking? You spoke so well. It seems I have to thank you for your tolerance."
"No need to thank you. If you love someone, you must tolerate his flaws."
Although Fang Hanmin didn't understand romance, Song Yuping's seemingly plain words shocked his soul. This was Song Yuping's affectionate expression from the heart. Fang Hanmin's blood boiled instantly, "Yuping, I love you!" As Song Yuping said, A kiss on the cheek.
Song Yuping was stunned by Fang Hanmin's actions, "What are you doing? Don't you feel embarrassed in public?"
Fang Hanmin said with a playful smile: "You are my girlfriend, what is there to be ashamed of? Besides, it is night, no one noticed what I did just now."
"Fang Hanmin, you look very introverted, but in fact you are not honest at all."
"I'm being intimate with my girlfriend, what's wrong with that?"
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Fang Hanmin, I don't know if you noticed, but this is really a good place to relax. You have worked in the city for so many years. Have you been here at night before?"
Fang Hanmin said seriously: "Don't talk about night, even during the day, I have never been here."
"Really?" Song Yuping found it unbelievable, "What have you been doing on Sundays and holidays for so many years? Well, haven't you been with Yu Dongmei for more than a year? You never come here to play at night?"
"On Sundays and holidays, most of the time I work overtime at the unit, and read and study when I have nothing to do. Although I have been with Yu Dongmei for more than a year, we can't see each other twice a month. At first we went to watch movies, and later we went with her ballroom."
"It seems that you are a workaholic. God rewards hard work. It is precisely because of your hard work that you have achieved so many achievements at work."
"Because there are too many things to do, I am forced to do nothing. Who wants to work overtime often?"
"Fang Hanmin, didn't you just say that you don't understand romance? In fact, it's just a romantic night like this." Song Yuping said softly, leaning on Fang Hanmin's shoulder.
"It would be great if we could do this every day!" Fang Hanmin stretched out his right arm and hugged Song Yuping's waist from behind.
"Then fulfill your promise and find a way to transfer me to the city as soon as possible."
When it came to this matter, Fang Hanmin had only spoken about it before, and he hadn't taken it into his heart yet. Song Yuping's reminder gave him a sense of urgency, "Yeah, I have to hurry up. But you also know, from now on Transferring from rural areas to cities is inherently difficult, and the school’s staffing control is very strict, so don’t be too anxious.”
"I'm not in a hurry. If you are, you can take care of this matter." Song Yuping said calmly.
"I'm anxious. Don't worry, I will try my best to find a solution."
The two of them just cuddled each other, chatting and looking at the night sky and counting the stars. Song Yuping was a little puzzled by Fang Hanmin's previous words, "Hanmin, you just said that you have been dating Yu Dongmei for more than a year, and you can't see each other twice a month. Logically speaking, you are in the same city, how can you do this? ?”
"Didn't I tell you that my work unit has a lot of things to do, and I often work overtime on Sundays and holidays, so I don't have time to make an appointment with him."
"Oh, today is Saturday. If you weren't with me, would you have to go to work overtime?" Song Yuping asked, raising her head.
"The situation is a little different now. Even if you didn't come, I would have a day off today. It was different back then. I had just been transferred from the workshop to the technical department. I was too busy with the work at hand, so I had to work overtime."
"Can Yu Dongmei not be angry when you neglect others like that?"
"I don't know if she is angry or not. Anyway, every time we meet, we are calm."
"I think your snub made her very unhappy. Otherwise, you would only meet once or twice a month. With Dongmei's fiery personality, it would be a fire fight every time you meet." Song Yuping said with a smile.
"Here we go again! I don't want to hear you describe my relationship with her like this."
"But you did neglect her. If you put yourself in Yu Dongmei's shoes, it makes sense for her to be angry."
Fang Hanmin said helplessly: "I couldn't do anything at that time. It's not like now that I have a clue about the work. The people below perform their duties and assign the tasks. I just check the implementation effect when the time comes. The work will be much easier. What will happen then?" I have to do everything myself, how can I have time to date her! I remember she called me several times, but I rejected her."
"Have you ever thought about how that girl feels after being ruthlessly rejected by you?"
"Actually, after every meeting, I explain the reasons to her, and she still understands. The key to the problem between me and Yu Dongmei is not that, the problem is that the contrast between my interests and hers is too big."
"You have been together for more than a year. How many colleagues in the unit know about her?"
"Are you talking about Yu Dongmei? No colleagues know about me, and no colleagues in their school know about me. Because we meet so few times, and we have done a good job of keeping secrets, in the impression of my colleagues, I never seem to have any friendship. Have a girlfriend.”
Song Yuping joked: "Well, my colleagues thought you were a young boy. Do you plan to let your colleagues in the workplace know about our affair?"
"I can't keep this matter secret even if we want to! On the one hand, the female colleague Xiao Min already knows about it, and she will spread it to the outside world sooner or later; in addition, if I want to transfer you to the city, I will raise my head in Shuangling City. I have no relatives and my eyesight is dark. I have to report to the factory leaders and ask them to help find a solution. In order to convince the leaders, I have to explain your situation clearly to them."
"Hanmin, how do you know that the factory leaders will help you?" Song Yuping seemed to have little confidence in this matter.
"I don't know, but I think they will help me find a way. After all, I am a city model worker, and I also have the honor of the first prize of the provincial Science and Technology Progress Award. According to the policy, I seem to be entitled to certain care."... ..
The two of them had almost rested. The hands of the clock on the tower in the center of the square were close to nine o'clock. Fang Hanmin felt a little hungry, "Yuping, let's go to the food stall over there for a midnight snack?"
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat so late?"
"Hey, if I think like you do, the food stall business will be out of business. It is said that from the beginning of May to the end of October, the food stalls here are open all night, and so many diners are not afraid of getting fat. This is the first time in so many years that I have a late night Night, what’s so scary?”
"You have given such a good reason. I will be embarrassed if you don't go! Let's go, I invite you." Song Yuping stood up first.
"Don't pretend to be generous. Are you here to treat me? You look down on people too much!"
After walking around twenty or thirty food stalls, Fang Hanmin and Song Yuping sat down in front of their favorite food stall. They ordered one barbecue, two cold noodles and two sodas.
During the supper, Song Yuping admired Fang Hanmin's experience over the years, "There are too few young people like you who can endure loneliness!"
"Why do you say that?"
"You have worked in the city for so many years, and you have never been to such an occasion. No one will believe it, but you did it. I'm not making fun of you. This is really admirable. To be honest, if I were you , I definitely can’t do it.”
Of course Song Yuping didn't know that during the years when Fang Hanmin worked as a temporary worker in the workshop, he was not gregarious at all. Apart from his job, he held a book all day long and had no interest in anything mentioned by his colleagues. , let alone participate, otherwise how could the colleagues in the workshop give him the nickname Xiucai?
In addition, from joining the factory as a temporary worker to later being transferred to the technical department, Fang Hanmin had to send a considerable part of his salary back to his hometown every month. His own economic conditions have never been comfortable, so shopping with colleagues has never been an option. No chance with him.
It was only in the past year or two that Fang Hanmin was promoted to technical section chief and his salary income increased significantly, and his economic conditions improved. However, Fang Hanmin has long developed the habit of not going shopping, so he naturally has no chance to spend money on such occasions.
Faced with Song Yuping's praise, Fang Hanmin was a little embarrassed, "Don't compare yourself to me. I was forced by circumstances and couldn't help it. In addition, maybe because of my personality, I don't have many friends in the workplace. Even if I have two or three friends, they They are all people with families, so it’s impossible for us to play together on Sundays and holidays.”
"Hanmin, you are willing to be lonely, devote yourself to your career, refuse to follow the crowd, and are not greedy for pleasure. This is what is valuable about you. Such excellent qualities must not be changed!"
