After Three Years, I Called My Girlfriend and Her Kid Answered

1.
Jiangcheng University I studied for three years in a detached self-study program, and besides obtaining a bachelor's degree in Chinese language and literature, it seems like I haven't gained anything. Just after graduation, I worked for the Jiangbei Technology News sponsored by the Jiangbei Provincial Association for Science and Technology. Do you believe that in a provincial-level newspaper with over 200 employees, less than 30 people receive a basic salary, and the number of staff with official positions is less than ten? Even the editor-in-chief of our People's Livelihood Weekly is hired. Everyone has a revenue target, and you only receive income if you bring benefits to the newspaper: writing advertorials, selling hard ads, conducting public opinion supervision, and even writing paid articles.
I didn't earn much money, so I took a little vanity in using the business cards printed by the newspaper and the so-called press pass. Jiangcheng University for three years, Qiuying has given me a lot of living expenses. Qiuying and I were high school classmates, the difference is that she went to work in a clothing factory that came to the county for investment promotion after graduating from high school, while I went to this so-called university.
Her father is the deputy village head of a village in the suburbs of the county town, and her mother is an elementary school teacher. My parents are illiterate farmers, "blind" in a way. But Qiuying likes me, and I like her too. At first, her parents didn't really approve or disapprove of our relationship, at least acknowledging the "college student" label I have.
After graduating from college, my situation has become increasingly bleak. When I first arrived at Jiangbei Technology News, the editor-in-chief tried to brainwash me, saying, "Is your father-in-law the village chief? This relationship shouldn't go to waste! You tell him that our newspaper can do a promotional report for their village!" I followed his instructions and told Qiuying's father, and the village chief was very happy. He could now boast about his daughter's boyfriend giving him face! However, after the article was published, the editor-in-chief forced me to ask him for a "layout fee" of 5000 yuan.
How can I bring this up to you! During the Chinese New Year, I went to visit Qiuying's family to pay my respects. The village chief, Uncle Duo, had a few drinks and repeatedly asked me, "Aren't you a journalist? Why do you still take money for writing reports?" I wished I could dig a hole in their floor with my toes and disappear.
When Qiuying took me back, she comforted me by saying, "My dad drank too much, don't be like him!" Can I blame the village chief for this? It's my own fault for being useless! I've quit the newspaper, worked in an advertising company, dabbled in self-media, and sat in an office in a company. To be honest, it's been tough all along!
In the next two years, I accomplished nothing. Qiuying never blamed me, and even comforted me by saying, "Gold will always shine, take it slow!"

The day before I reported to Jiangcheng University, Qiuying took me to the county town, bought me decent clothes, and gave me 1500 yuan.
Tu Baozi
Embracing her, there is happiness, but also deep shame!
Until I graduated from college, Qiuying would transfer 500 yuan to me every month. She knew that my family's condition was poor, and she was afraid that I wouldn't eat well or dress well at school.
Jiangcheng After two years, I really can't continue like this.
During the Spring Festival at his house, Village Chief Uncle pointed at me and said, "Xiao Hu, you're not getting any younger. It's not good to keep dragging things out like this, you know?"
Qiuying has been waiting for me for two years. I also want to settle down with her as soon as possible. But at this point, besides continuing to help my parents with farming, I have nothing in my pocket.
If Village Chief Uncle is not satisfied with me, it's just that he's worried about his daughter's future. The upcoming class reunion will be a naked blow.
At the high school class reunion, although the class leader Wu Xianfei didn't go to college, his father is a big shot in the rural credit cooperative. He made his own way and became the head of a sub-branch. When he saw me and Qiuying come in and sit down, he gestured with his hand, " Qiuying, come sit on my side, Lao Hu, you can sit with your back to the door!"
Just as everyone knows about Qiuying and my relationship, everyone is also aware that Wu Xianfei has always had "interest" in Qiuying. At this moment, such an arrangement is nothing short of a slap in the face for me.
It's also because "there are people at home," my good brother Biao Ge, who now works at Agricultural Bank, pulled me over: "Lao Hu, sit next to me, Qiuying, you sit next to Lao Hu."
The high school we attended was the worst in the county. The few classmates who managed to get into college mostly went to teacher training colleges. After graduation, they came back to become ordinary teachers. Those who didn't make it either went out to work or stayed at home to farm. Among these people, Wu Xianfei is undoubtedly the "dark horse."
"Lao Hu, I heard you used to work at Jiangbei Science and Technology News? The reputation of your newspaper is not very good. Your editor-in-chief has a famous saying: 'A heavy burden of gold, everyone has a target on their head.' To turn news media into a business, that's really something! In our county system, your newspaper is considered garbage. Your so-called reporters either beg shamelessly for advertisements or shamelessly engage in extortion... it's all over the place!"
"Our family has already left that newspaper, so stop with the 'you guys, you guys'! Also, last time, Technology News reported that your credit union teller embezzled customer funds. Was that teller someone you know?"
Qiuying softly and gently stood up for me.
The Technology News in Jiangbei is indeed not great, but that doesn't mean I, as a former employee, am not great.
There are indeed problems with the Rural Credit Cooperative: the teller Wu Mengfei issued a false deposit certificate and transferred 30,000 yuan in cash from depositors to her own father-in-law for business. And this Wu Mengfei is the elder sister of Wu Xianfei. Anyway, I haven't been doing well these past two years, but it's true. Otherwise, with Wu Xianfei's flattering and bullying character, she wouldn't dare to use me as a scapegoat. That day, I drank too much. I wanted to use alcohol to numb my weakness and cowardice.
Wu Xianfei begged persistently to send Qiuying off, but Qiuying ignored him, put my arm around his shoulder, and wrapped his other hand around my waist. He politely declined the care of Biao and other classmates, saying, "It's okay, you guys don't need to worry. I'll take Xiao Hu to get a room!"
