On how to throw down the subject

When the two reached the edge of the woods, Li Hao was determined not to leave. No matter how much Alice pulled her, she finally decided not to take Li Hao, and she went by herself.

So Li Hao scared her: "I tell you, don't go in there, there are too many bugs in it, and this place is too remote, it is estimated that few people will come, maybe there are not only bugs in there, but also There will be wild snakes, hedgehogs, etc., in short, I guess there are all kinds of mess."

He didn't bring Alice here just for fun. He originally planned to talk to Alice about Han Zhaoxu, so he couldn't be delayed by other things.Besides, he wasn't talking nonsense, this is a forest, and the weeds are growing wildly, who knows what will be in it?It's night again, it's pitch black, what if something dangerous happens?

Moreover, Alice claims to be a female man wearing a goddess coat. She was not afraid of anything since she was a child, but she was afraid of snakes...

As soon as Li Hao said that there might be snakes in this place, Alice felt bad all over, so she hurriedly dragged Li Hao into the park, never wanting to go to the woods anymore.

The two walked on the cobbled path, Li Hao thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "Alice, actually... Actually, you must know why I brought you here, right?"

Alice nodded: "The environment here is good, quiet and undisturbed, it's a good place to talk."

Just as Li Hao knew Alice, Alice also knew Li Hao very well. When Li Hao insisted on pulling her out, she knew that her friends must be unable to hold back and want to talk to her about what happened recently.

They were childhood sweethearts. They happened to be in the same school from elementary school to university. After graduating from university, they also both worked in Han's, one as a secretary and the other as a department manager.

In fact, rather than a coincidence, it might be better to say that Li Hao has been chasing Alice's footsteps.

Both of them were born in rural areas. There is a lot of patriarchal thinking in their area. Girls are not valued. In addition, in poor families, girls are not allowed to go to school. People think that girls are You should stay at home and do housework, and then marry off your daughter early to be serious.

But Alice's parents divorced when she was very young, because Alice's mother injured her body when she gave birth to Alice and could no longer have children, and Alice was a girl.In their village, there are no boys to carry on the family line, and the villagers laugh at it.

Alice's father didn't want to be ridiculed and unable to hold his head up, and he didn't want to have a son to take care of him when he was old, so he divorced Alice's mother without hesitation in tears. The girls don't exist.

Later, I heard that Alice's father married another wife soon, and his wife gave birth to him a son at the first birth. life or death?

But what about Alice and her daughter?They don't have a stable source of income, their family only has a few acres of land, and Alice is still young, so life has to go on.Alice's mother planted a lot of grain and vegetables in the field, and then she sold the good-looking grain and vegetables behind Alice's back, leaving enough food for the mother and daughter, but not so good. down.

Life is so tight, and after a long time, they still have some money in their hands.

There are not only poor people like them in the village, but also many rich families. They send their children, regardless of gender, to the primary school in the town. The teacher praised them all for their good looks, and their faces were bright when they said it.

So Alice can often see several girls wearing bright clothes and carrying beautiful small schoolbags, bouncing to school or going home.

Not only Alice saw it, but Alice's mother also saw it, but she could only sigh and suppress the misery in her heart.How can people like them expect to go to school?That tuition fee must be very expensive, right?

It's just that they always heard from people in the village that whoever got good grades was praised by the teacher, who was admitted to junior high school, who was admitted to university, and how much money they earned after graduation.

So later, Alice's mother was also thinking about sending Alice to school. It turns out that as long as she is admitted to college, she can earn a lot of money!When she was a child, she also imagined that she could go to school, but her parents only let a few older brothers go, saying that the girl is too stupid, she must not be able to learn well, and it is a waste of money, why bother?

Alice's mother kept this thought in her heart aggrieved, but now?She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, she has been like this all her life, should her child be like her?

This idea haunted Alice's mother, and finally, after hearing that the girls in the village were admitted to college one after another, her idea was strengthened.

Her parents were wrong! !Why are girls so stupid they can't go to school?Look at these girls who have been admitted to college, aren't they very smart?As long as you work hard, you will always get good results, right?What's more, her daughter Huang Xiaomei has always been very smart.

Oh, by the way, Alice was not called Alice at that time, but her name was Huang Xiaomei.

If you want your daughter to go to school, you have to ask about the tuition fee first, right?So Alice's mother took her hand and went with her to the elementary school in the town to ask about tuition fees.

When I asked this question, the mother and daughter were both happy. The school said that girls can also come to the school, and there are some regulations in the country. Since two or three years ago, there is no need to pay tuition fees, just pay some textbook fees. .

The people at the school finally said that the state also stipulates that if the poor households can also waive the textbook fee.Alice’s mother didn’t know what constitutes a poor household. People from the school explained to her for a long time, and asked them to go to the neighborhood committee where they lived to apply for poverty certificates, saying that they could apply for bursaries when they went to college in the future!

So, the two happily went to apply for the poverty certificate. After the matter was settled, Alice's mother went to the school with the poverty certificate to go through some procedures.The school said Alice could go to school until September.

So, the two returned happily with the textbooks given by the school. Alice's mother bought her a lot of pens and notebooks on the way back. After thinking about it, she bought a pencil case for Alice.

Anyway, the two of them usually don't spend much money, so they are so happy today, so let's buy one for the child.

That night, Alice's mother hugged her and told Alice softly that she must study hard, and strive to be admitted to university in the future, and then earn a lot of money.

Alice knew that she had to work hard. She looked at her mother's rough hands and made up her mind that she must change her home.She wants to let her and her mother live a good life, and make her father who abandoned their mother and daughter regret it!

So, when school started, Alice happily went to school with the small schoolbag her mother sewed for her.

Alice and Li Hao's family are neighbors, and Li Hao's family is also aware of what happened at Alice's house. Seeing that Alice's daughter has gone to school, Li Hao's parents let Li Hao go to school.No one can guarantee whether the child can be admitted to university, but, anyway, it doesn't cost much, so just try it, what if it can be admitted?

Alice and Li Hao are both neighbors and at the same table, and that's how they got acquainted.When they went to school, Alice was as determined as she was, studying hard, forgetting to eat and sleep, and she had to understand everything the teacher said all day before going to bed.

But Li Hao was still very playful at that time, and because he didn't listen carefully in class, his grades soon fell behind Alice's. If he didn't pay attention, Alice threw Li Hao far away.

But Li Hao was unconvinced. Everyone in the village said that girls are stupid and can't learn well. Could it be that he is not as good as girls?So Li Hao also started to study hard, and the two were secretly competing.It's just that no matter how hard Li Hao works, his results are much better than Alice's.

As a result, people in the village started talking about Li Hao and Alice again.

Even Li Hao's parents said, "Oh, even if Huang Xiaomei has better grades than Li Hao, so what? She's a girl, and she's going to get married in the future."

But Alice doesn't think so. The teacher said that everyone is equal in today's society, and girls are no worse than boys.Who said that only boys will provide for their parents?So many parents in the family are sick, aren't all the girls taking care of their parents?

Alice changed herself, and she changed her mother.Look, the teacher has said that girls are not bad, they can be teachers, so what they said is definitely not wrong.

So, after Alice's mother was busy with the farm work, she was also trying to find a way to make the family's conditions better.She does handwork for others, knitting sweaters or scarves, which can be sold for some money.

Later, when beauty salons became popular in the village, she went to learn beauty salons again, at least to learn a craft, which would make their lives better and save Alice some tuition fees.I heard that it will cost a lot of money to go to high school and college!

Because Alice's mother was skillful and the price was fair, the business soon boomed. With the money she earned, she opened a shop in the village, and her life was better and better every day, and her wallet was getting thicker every day.

Life is better, and Alice's mother bought her a new stationery box and schoolbag, so Alice studied harder.

Girls can support themselves, and she wants to prove to everyone that girls are no worse than boys!

A few years later, the news that both Alice and Li Hao were admitted to university spread throughout the village. When the school started, Alice took the suitcase and the bank card in the bag, and was filled with joy and pride, reluctance and anticipation of her mother. In his eyes, he became ruthless, and got on the bus with Li Hao.

When the car started, Alice turned her head and said silently to the mother who was wiping tears in the crowd: "Don't worry, Mom, I will study hard as I promised you, and then take you from this small village to the big one." urban life."

Li Hao didn't want to compete with Alice at first, because he knew that he couldn't compare with Alice in terms of hard work and talent.It's just that he subconsciously wants to be with Alice, probably because he has developed a habit. He wants to work hard and fight together with her.Only in this way will he understand what the direction of his efforts is.

But when did this feeling turn into love?He doesn't know either.

It's just that he can never forget the dazzling light in Alice's eyes when she talked about her future plans.

Later, Alice really fulfilled her promise. After she entered the Han family, she took her mother to live in S City, but later, her mother died of illness.At that time, Huang Xiaomei became Alice.

……

Li Hao interrupted Alice's memory, and said softly: "Student Huang Xiaomei, do you still remember what you said at the beginning? You said that your journey is a sea of ​​stars. What about now? Are you still going to be decadent?"

Sea of ​​stars?

Alice looked up at the starry sky, and she seemed to see herself who had just entered Han's at that time.Alice didn't become Han Zhaoxu's secretary as soon as she graduated. She started as a small employee and became Alice step by step.

After she and Li Hao joined the Han family, they drank wine at the food stall. Although the Han family was not as large as it is now, it was already the best for a newcomer like Alice who had just entered the workplace. Already working.

That night, Alice and Li Hao held their wine glasses and shouted enthusiastically: "Our journey is, star-chen-big-sea!!"

Yes, she remembered, how could she forget?When she first entered the Han family, she had sworn that she wanted her stars and sea.

Now, how can she start to forget her original intention just because her life is comfortable?

Her original dream was to conquer the Han family, not to conquer someone in the Han family.So now the Han family has been conquered by her?No, she's not even close.

"Mouse, I've made a decision. I'm going to work from tomorrow." Alice turned her head, the smile on her face still had the shadow of the past, "I've changed my mind, I can't go on like this anymore, I promised my mother No matter what, I want to live proudly. Giving up my stars and seas for someone is not my style, yes, that’s how it is, I want to do what I hoped before, and never stop working hard no matter what, I Don't follow the mother's old way, I want to live out myself!!"

"I want to learn to let go... my feelings for him, and then start a new life. Mouse," Alice said with a bright smile at Li Hao, "come with me to dye your hair back, I think black hair looks the best .By the way, I'm going to buy some normal clothes too, mine are so immodest."

She used to think that what Han Zhaoxu liked would be charming and charming, so her makeup, including her clothes, could best reflect her strengths, but now she has figured it out, what is most important is what she likes, changing herself for others It's pretty stupid, not to mention that she has been acting like herself in front of Han Zhaoxu.

Therefore, Li Hao also showed a warm smile, and said in the tone Alice is most familiar with: "How many times have I said it, don't call me a mouse, this nickname is so ugly!"

After speaking, the two smiled at each other.
