Reborn 1980: Cannon fodder mother changes her life against fate

Before Director Ma left dejectedly with his briefcase under his arm, he glanced angrily at Xiao Ya at the workstation.

The inexplicable glance left Monk Xiao Yazhang at a loss.

But...what the heck!The nuisance is finally gone.

The resignation application in the drawer was eventually thrown into the trash can, never to see the light of day.

At the same time, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her job was temporarily saved and she could consider changing her house next month.

The shadow of the mad gangster she met in the alley last Thursday still lingers in her mind.No matter how cheap the rent here is, she doesn't want to live there anymore.

As winter turns to spring, new green leaves begin to appear on the bare branches on the streets. People take off their heavy and bloated cotton clothes and put on thin knitted sweaters of various colors, red, yellow, and blue, giving it a vibrant beauty.

Yi Ling appeared on the street in a cool sports car. Scattered fallen leaves rolled up the old height. Passers-by looked sideways and wanted to take a closer look at who the owner of the car was, but the tail of the car had already disappeared.

Logically speaking, he should be sleeping at home at this time. After all, he only left the bar at three o'clock in the morning last night.Counting on my fingers, I didn't even get enough sleep for five hours.

Yawning was interrupted by the ringtone of an incoming call. Yi Ling picked up the call and said lazily: "Hello, Mom."

"Have you met the girl?"

"still on the way."

Yi's mother: "I'm telling you, this girl is two years younger than you, she's still in college, and she's very thin-skinned. When we meet later, you have to be more enthusiastic, do you hear me?"

His mother's nagging instructions made his ears feel calluses.But I couldn’t talk back, so I could only mutter in perfunctory terms.

I lowered the car window halfway to let in some air, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

"Mom, I'm driving, so I won't tell you anymore." He hung up the phone forcibly, and the people waiting on the platform suddenly looked up in shock at the harsh friction sound of the sudden braking.

Yi Ling pulled down the hand gear, reversed the car, and stopped on the roadside in front of the platform. "Xiao Ya, it's really you."

As a girl, Xiao Ya has lost her youthfulness as a student. She wears a light white jumpsuit and an ankle-length skirt, paired with a light blue knitted jacket. Her long black and slightly curly hair is draped behind her head, making her look gentle. Very touching.

She lowered her body slightly in surprise and leaned into the car. She was even more surprised when she saw who it was, "Yi Ling, why is it you?"

Yi Ling smiled and raised her lips: "Why can't it be me? Where are you going? I'll take you there."

"Thank you. I'll take the bus. The bus will be here soon."

"Is the bus faster than mine? Come on."

Xiao Ya was in a dilemma. Seeing that the people waiting for the bus next to her were looking at them indifferently, she had no choice but to quickly open the door and get in.

After telling Yi Ling a place name, Yi Ling immediately turned the steering wheel right to change the route.

"go for a date?"

Xiao Ya looked sideways.

Yi Ling used her peripheral vision to see Xiao Ya's expression and said proudly, "I guessed it right."

"What about you, where were you originally going? You probably won't be working on the weekend. Could it be that you're also going on a date?"

"Okay, let's draw inferences from one example."

The men around me are still the same as when they were in school, youthful and lively.There is no word "constricted" in them, and they are half a lifetime ahead of ordinary people.

Xiao Ya unconsciously thought of Song Zhiyu, the more dazzling man.

"Are you free next week?"

"What?" I was thinking about men, so I just went blank.

Yi Ling couldn't understand why a young girl could have such trouble with her ears, so she repeated, "Song Zhiyu will return to China next week, and several acquaintances are planning to get together. Will you come?"

"It's not appropriate for me to go..."

"Why isn't it suitable? You don't have a partner now, do you?" Xiao Ya was stunned by the sudden question.

She was stunned for a few seconds before replying: "...No."

"But I have to meet my blind date today."

Yi Ling lightly stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.

"What a coincidence, so am I. We share the same problem."

Xiao Ya didn't know how to respond to these words, so she could only laugh.He unbuttoned the belt, pointed out the window and said, "The teahouse is right in front. Thank you for sending me this."

After getting out of the car, he bent down and said: "I wish you a smooth blind date, come on."

The hem of the young girl's skirt swayed gently with her unhurried steps, swaying and swaying, and it inexplicably swayed into his heart.

I'm late for my date with my little sister. It's been delayed for so long, so I'm not in a hurry.

Yi Ling slowly put the car into gear and drove towards the cafe her mother told her about.

The blind date naturally ended in failure.Although the other party is young, he has a particularly strong sense of time.In addition, the subsequent chat was cold and indifferent, and the girl told her parents when she got home that this person was no good and unreliable!

Yi Ling was not hit, but just a little unhappy.

On the other side of the phone, Song Zhiyu gave his brother a few symbolic words of comfort, and finally said: "My flight will arrive at [-]pm tomorrow, and we will have dinner together in the evening."

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

In spring in Beijing, it’s gray and slightly cool at six o’clock in the afternoon.Song Zhiyu pushed his suitcase and waited at the exit of the lobby for a long time. He wore very little and his jacket was not warm.

When he was about to call Yi Ling, a familiar figure trotted over from the opposite side.

"Sorry, sorry, I picked someone up halfway."

After he took the suitcase away, Song Zhiyu saw the girl following Yi Ling.

"Why are you here together?"

Xiao Ya looked at Yi Ling and asked him to explain.

"We are all acquaintances, why don't we come to pick you up together?"

Song Zhiyu nodded and did not ask further questions.

After getting in the car, Yi Ling said, "Let's go directly to Jiuguan Restaurant. We've booked the reception banquet, and we can have a hot meal when we get there."

Xiao Ya was sitting alone in the back, her hands clasped together, her head slightly lowered, and her expression could not be seen when looking through the rearview mirror.

Song Zhiyu calmly looked away, leaned against the headrest of the seat, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

I've been on a plane for too long and I'm tired.

Sleep in Jiuguan Restaurant.The friends Yi Ling called were all acquaintances in his circle. This time when he returned to China to do business, he would have to rely on their resources in some places.

As for these friends, they also valued Song Zhiyu's abilities and the strong connections behind him.

After the reception banquet was over, Zhou Xiaoxu suggested switching to the second half.

Yi Ling raised her eyes to look at tonight's protagonist to see if he could sustain his energy until the second half.

"You decide the place, and I'll treat you." Song Zhiyu stood up and picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair, putting one hand in his pocket, exuding a casual and noble temperament.

The men booed and said something about the young master's grandeur.Some even couldn't wait to call their female companions and ask them to come over and play with them.

Xiao Ya listened, feeling awkward.He grabbed Yi Ling and said, "It's too late, I have to go home."

Yi Ling persuaded her to stay and told her not to leave in a hurry. "I don't have to go to work tomorrow, and it will be boring to go back. Why don't you stay and play with us. We will play cards later. You come to the table. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's mine."

"Let's go to our old place, on the top floor of the Chinese Banquet Hall. I've already called the manager. There are also private rooms."
