That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1206 We are just smart enough
At around nine o'clock, the classmates' gathering at Li Ye's house began to disperse. Because the men had been drinking and it was inconvenient for them to drive, Pei Wenhui thought about driving Hu Man and Jiang Xiaoyan back home.

But Hu Man and Jiang Xiaoyan objected: "Xiao Hui, don't be so polite. You are not feeling well. We can just take the bus a few stops away."

"I have no physical problems, and it's not far away."

"It doesn't look far, but it's far to go there and back! It's so late now, if my mother saw me asking you to take me back, she would scold me to death. If I really ask you to take me back, I'd rather let my mother pick us up."

"."

Li Ye looked at the girls pushing and shoving each other over there and couldn't help but look at Wen Leyu.

Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui live in the east city, and Jiang Xiaoyan and Hu Man both live in the west. They are indeed not on the same route, so this reason seems to be fine, but Li Ye just feels it is weird.

Wen Leyu smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaohui, just send Sun Xianjin back on the way. I'll send Hu Man and Jiang Xiaoyan back."

Pei Wenhui smiled and said, "Yes, then I'll trouble Sister Xiaoyu."

"This is not a big deal. You really need to take care of yourself now."

Wen Leyu gave Pei Wenhui a few instructions, then drove out his own car, picked up Hu Man and Jiang Xiaoyan, and drove west.

Three girls were riding in a car together, so of course they were chattering all the way.

After walking a short distance, Wen Leyu asked Hu Man: "Hu Man, you just said you wanted to go out and have a look. Have you had this idea for a long time? Or have you encountered any difficulties in your work or life?"

Hu Man was stunned and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but the words stopped at her lips.

Wen Leyu is too smart. If I hide things from her, the friendship between us as classmates will fade.

Hu Man sighed and said, "Work-wise, it's not a big deal. As long as I work hard, things will get better. But life-wise, I'm really stressed. I'll be 30 next year, and people around me are looking at me in increasingly strange ways."

In the 1990s, unmarried women in their thirties were still rare, so it was not surprising that Hu Man felt the rumors around her, which was why she wanted to change her environment.

Wen Leyu said calmly: "I have also experienced this kind of gaze. When I was in Qingshui County, the people around me looked at me in a strange way. But I think it is better to take the initiative to solve it instead of avoiding it."

"Ha~"

Hu Man chuckled and said, "I have been actively trying to solve the problem! But I always feel that there is a lack of fate."

"Always a little short? Have you set the standard for fate for yourself in advance?"

Wen Leyu glanced at Hu Man and said calmly, "There is no standard for fate. If you didn't catch the previous fate, you should forget it and not let it affect your next fate."

Hu Man was silent.

In fact, she probably guessed what Wen Leyu meant.

When Hu Man was having a party at Li Ye's house today, she suggested going out for a look, and the one who reacted most strongly was Li Dayong.

This is very subtle.

Li Dayong's pursuit of Hu Man was unsuccessful at first, but his later marriage with Pei Wenhui was a blessing in disguise, which made everyone around him envious.

So, as someone who rejected Li Dayong, will Hu Man be affected by this fate?
She suddenly said she wanted to go out for a walk. Could it be that she saw that Pei Wenhui was pregnant with her second child and she was acting irrationally on impulse?

Just when Hu Man was feeling depressed, Wen Leyu suddenly said, "My mother was talking about us a few days ago! Hu Man, if you are free someday, come to our house and have a visit."

"."

Human was shocked.

Just now, Hu Man talked about her work and said that as long as she worked hard, "it would always get better." In fact, she was leaving herself some self-esteem.

The issue of age does not only affect her life, but she will also encounter all kinds of annoying malice at work. However, Hu Man believes that she should solve the difficulties at work with hard work.

But she never expected that Wen Leyu would make such an invitation to her.

Hu Man stayed at the school to teach, and Teacher Ke was one of the top bosses in the education system. Even if he gave her a "fair" opportunity, he could smash all the difficulties she faced.

So Hu Man couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

"why?"

Wen Leyu smiled softly and said, "When Li Ye was ridiculed in school, you were one of the few students who spoke up for him. Is that reason enough?"

"If it's not enough, when we were at the Second Grain Store, we promised to help each other. Is that okay?"

"."

Hu Man felt mixed emotions.

She knew very well that the first reason Wen Leyu gave was the most crucial one.

At the beginning, Li Ye was ridiculed, despised and teased by many people because of Lu Jingyao's broken engagement. Hu Man did not actively confront those people, but she tried her best to be "fair". For example, when classmates slandered Li Ye, Hu Man would state the facts to the teacher in a fair and impartial manner.

Who would have thought that a little bit of fairness many years ago would bring him the fairness he desperately needed many years later? As long as he makes achievements in his work, the pressure in his life should be solved, right?
. . . . . . . . . .

Jiang Xiaoyan's home is closer than Hu Man's residence. When Wen Leyu sent Jiang Xiaoyan there, Jiang Xiaoyan's mother refused to let Wen Leyu continue to send her there.

"Hey Xiaoyu, you still want to send them off at this late hour. Are they rich girls? Go back quickly! Just let Xiaoyan drive my car to send Hu Man back."

"Okay then, Auntie, I'll go back first."

Wen Leyu did not insist, because Jiang Xiaoyan was also quite embarrassed when she was discussing "fate" with Hu Man just now.

These two girls are not young anymore. Both Chen Jinhua and Wen Leyu have tried to matchmake for them over the years, but in the end they always fell just a little short.

Don’t you think this is embarrassing?

Jiang Xiaoyan drove her mother's car and took Hu Man back to school.

When they were alone together, they were much more direct in their conversation.

"Hu Man, you didn't really want to go abroad because you didn't want to see Li Dayong, did you?"

"Don't you know me yet?" Hu Man said with some embarrassment: "If I had that thought, I wouldn't have come today. I just encountered some troubles at work."

Hu Man did not reveal everything that had happened to her, but Jiang Xiaoyan already understood it completely.

Because she was also squeezed out from the research institute and moved to the Dongjiang Factory, how could she not know the darkness involved?

Someone once said a very extreme statement - good things falling from the sky are like AIDS, which can only be acquired in three ways: mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission, and sex.

Jiang Xiaoyan and Hu Man do not have the first two paths, but they are both pretty, which makes them suffer more malicious intent than others.

Fortunately, they all met Li Ye, and because of Li Ye, they also had a good friend Wen Leyu, so they got the opportunity to break the situation.

"Let's not talk about these things~"

Hu Man shook her head irritably and changed the subject, "Xiaoyan, the last time I saw your mother, didn't she say she was going to buy you a Xiali? Why hasn't she done anything in half a year?"

Jiang Xiaoyan is closer to Hu Man than to Li Ye, so they know some of each other's little details.

Chen Jinhua has made a lot of money over the years. She bought a house and a motorcycle for Jiang Xiaoyan. Recently, she has been thinking about buying a car for her daughter.

Jiang Xiaoyan was silent for two seconds, then said, "They did buy it for me, but after I was assigned to the Dongjiang Factory, I should have the opportunity to be assigned a special car. Besides, I've only been riding my 80 motorcycle for two years, so I didn't take it."

"You didn't want it? Or did your father and your brother not want to?"

"So what if they don't want to? My mother is the head of the family. Forget it, don't talk about this anymore. The more you talk, the more upset you'll get. You might as well talk about the person you went on a blind date with last time!"

"."

Every family has its own problems. Jiang Xiaoyan's family is indeed headed by her mother, but no matter how much Chen Jinhua loves her daughter, she also hopes to have a grandson in her arms as soon as possible.
As I get older, this expectation becomes stronger and stronger, so the youngest son in the family, who has the least potential, is using his only value to quietly improve his status in the family.

However, Jiang Xiaoyan, the "former pride" of the family, has become more and more of a source of worry for Chen Jinhua as she grows older.

"Hey, Hu Man, stop talking. If you keep talking, I'll also want to go abroad to see the world."

"."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When Wen Leyu returned home, the two children were already asleep.

After she washed up and went to bed, Li Ye asked casually, "Dayong's mood is not right today. Did you notice it?"

Wen Leyu smiled faintly and said: "You really care about your brother! But don't worry! I asked Hu Man, she probably has no interest in Li Dayong, it's just that things are not going well at work"

Li Ye was relieved: "Oh~, so that's how it is. Did our mother really talk about Hu Man and the others?"

Wen Leyu said indifferently: "It's not a big deal. I'll make the decision for my mother. But I can only help her up to this point. If they still can't get over it, we can't help them."

Li Ye said: "You can't say that I can't help you! You know a lot of people, so keep an eye on them and introduce them to some suitable young men."

"A young talent like you has long been snatched away."

Wen Leyu turned over and hugged Li Ye, saying cruelly: "It is because of your glaring example that they misunderstood what a young talent is. They thought people like you can be found everywhere!"

Li Ye was shocked and said quickly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you bringing this up with me again?"

"Humph~"

Wen Leyu snorted coldly and said, "If I hadn't acted quickly enough, do you think nothing would have happened? Xiaohui insisted on sending Hu Man away today. Do you think she didn't notice it in her heart? It's just that we are smart enough."
