Chapter 4: The third partner! (2)

His name is Zhang Heng...

Born in a hospital in Nanjing, he did not have any secret fragrance when he was born, nor did he have any Ganoderma lucidum, nor any giant dragon falling from the sky. In short, he was just an ordinary baby...

His parents were both businessmen, and they were the ones who resigned in the early days of reform and opening up. After 1990s, they had a net worth of millions and were considered rich. They had a wealth of properties and storefronts in Nanjing and Shanghai. Zhang Heng grew up in such an environment. Although his parents were busy with business and did not care enough for him on weekdays, Zhang Hengsheng had an optimistic personality. He was cheerful and sunny by nature and did not feel lonely or anything. Instead, he grew up normally and was considered an ordinary person with a normal mind.

But there is one very bad shortcoming in his temperament, that is, he has no perseverance in doing things...

Zhang Heng and Zhang Heng, the reason why his parents gave him this name was to make him persevere in doing things in the future, but who knew that things went against his wishes. Perhaps it was because of the optimistic temperament, or perhaps because his personality was cheerful, sunny, free and casual, so it was not as persistent as those who had obsessions. Often, they often did not take a long time to do something, and whenever they encountered difficulties, they immediately shook their hands. This was contrary to the original intention of his name, which was unexpected by his parents.

However, Zhang Heng's family has entered the wealthy class. In the 1990s, there were millions of families, which were considered wealthy in that era. In addition, Zhang Heng's parents were not the kind of people who became bad when they were rich. With the prudence of the common people, coupled with the vision and investment of businessmen, Zhang Heng's family was getting richer and richer, so his unperseverance personality would not cause much hinder him. In the future, he had to study or get married or get married. He inherited his family business or inherited his family business. Life seemed like a planned trajectory line. He just needed to go all the way...

Until I met her...

It was an inadvertent encounter in college, and it was a dinner for many alumni. Because of Zhang Heng's enthusiastic and cheerful personality, he was quite popular in college. In addition, his family background was rich and he was a bit generous. Therefore, such dinners usually serve as a contact place and alumni, so he is considered a host and planner.

The one who contacted some freshmen who had just entered the school. As the "old man" who had been promoted to sophomore year, Zhang Heng was naturally very enthusiastic about such things. He contacted a buffet place early. Each person only had to pay 38 yuan to have a dinner party in this place, which was not a luxury. Therefore, Zhang Heng ran very happily and soon gathered dozens of juniors, but he had to hit a nail in front of one junior.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to read a book tonight, what's the real time?"

This is a pretty girl with a not outstanding appearance, and she can only be described as ordinary. Her long hair, which looks extremely dazzling, her skin is slightly dark and rough, as if she is often exposed to sun and rain, and she has not applied any flour to her eyebrows, lipstick and perfume. Although her clothes are frugal, they are washed clean. This is a girl who looks like a lotus, without applying any black powder color, clean and refreshing.

Although Zhang Heng has an optimistic personality and gives people a generous feeling and carefree look, his mind is actually quite delicate. When he saw this girl, he immediately guessed the reason why the girl refused... The 38 yuan was a very small asset for him, or for most working-class people. A meal of 38 yuan is actually not expensive, but for families like this girl, 38 yuan is probably her meal money for a week. Zhang Heng looked at the girl's clean clothes, but he had washed many parts of it and had been stripped. It seemed that he had been wearing clothes for a long time.

"But I have paid for it. I will pay as much as I should invite as many people. This time I was originally welcomed to have a dinner party for you, my juniors, so of course we invited you. If you don't go, the store will not refund our 38 yuan. Instead, it will be a waste. So you can take a day off and not read books, go for a meal together, have a good rest, and there will be a time when you are busy in college life in the future." Zhang Heng chased behind the girl, and he said with a smile, and in his heart, he had decided to pay the money for this junior.

The girl was indeed slightly stunned. As Zhang Heng expected, such a thrifty girl was the most shameless girl. Although she had just rejected Zhang Heng's proposal, after she was distressed for a moment, she agreed as Zhang Heng expected and decided to go to the dinner together that night.

The subsequent events seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Heng. It was a perfect end to his kindness when he could do such a step, but Zhang Heng seemed to think more in his heart. He was cheerful and sunny by nature, free and easy. Under his seemingly weak face, he felt a bold and generous spirit of Ren Qi. He was the most shameful thing in his life. Although this girl had never had any unfair things at this moment, Zhang Heng thought more.

Judging from the girl's face, even if she eats and drinks on weekdays, she must be very frugal. In this buffet party, although it is only 38 yuan for each person, there are basically all kinds of wine, vegetables, drinks, big fish and meat. The girl may be restrained in other aspects. However, since it is a buffet that has been paid, she will definitely eat and drink with all her appetite. There is nothing wrong with this, but ordinary young people in the city will eat fatty meat and fat fish so much. Just eating fish there alone will inevitably make others look at her with strange eyes in the future...

So in this buffet, Zhang Heng was even more exaggerated than this girl. He let go of his arms and ate fish. After barbecuing the whole piece of fat meat, he swallowed it one by one, which instead sucked most people's eyes, while the girl sat in the corner and looked at Zhang Heng while silently eating her food...

"...I feel that within ten years, I must have vomited when I see oil."

The next day, when Zhang Heng rubbed his stomach and walked out of the toilet, what surprised him was that the girl was standing by the playground with a small cloth package. After he walked out of the toilet, the girl walked up to him openly and handed him the small package.

"Take it with boiled water to help digestion and treat abdominal distension... Also, thank you yesterday." The girl smiled at Zhang Hengyanran.

Although this girl's appearance is very ordinary, she can only be considered pretty at most. Zhang Heng is not a junior brother or something. She has made two or three girlfriends in high school and also made girlfriends in college. However, just like he has never been persevering, he will break up after a period of time. However, he is young and rich, has a good personality, and has a good appearance, so the girlfriends he has made are considered beautiful. If this girl looks at her girlfriend's mentality, she does not really attract him.

But at this moment, the girl's pure eyes and the smiley expression made Zhang Heng feel like he was knocked down by electricity. It was hard to describe, very hazy, but it made him stunned. It was not until the girl forced the package into his hand and walked away slowly that he came to his senses. After opening the package, he saw that there were indeed many herbs inside...

"This look... maybe, from a long time ago, I was waiting for the owner of these eyes..."

Next was Zhang Heng's active pursuit, which was inexplicable, as if he was just for the smile, but the girl seemed to be very confused and fearful, constantly escaping Zhang Heng's pursuit, so that even the people in the same dormitory felt strange and desperately advocated to let her be with Zhang Heng. However, this girl had an extremely tough heart and avoided Zhang Heng's omnipresent care and pursuit. In the end, she was reluctant to pay attention to Zhang Heng.

At this moment, Zhang Heng's habitual character seemed to have disappeared completely. He didn't know whether it was a smother or something. He even ignored the girl's coldness and was exhausted with her... In this way, the two of them were like enemies, chasing and escaping for two years until... the girl was diagnosed with cancer.

"No! Now that technology is so advanced, cancer can definitely be cured. Please relax, I must cure you!"

Zhang Heng walked in the ward and roared loudly. He was always free and casual, but now he was unprecedentedly crazy. His expression seemed to be about to tear people. In the past two years of pursuit, although he had not pursued the girl, he became more and more familiar with the girl, and the initial hazy love in his heart became deeper. At this moment, he heard that the girl had cancer, and he felt pain in his heart, as if even his whole soul was trembling. It was really painful that caused this crazy state to the extreme.

The girl's face was pale at the moment, but she didn't know whether it was because of the disease or because she was frightened. However, her movements were still clean and refreshing, without any scent of water. She actually gently hugged Zhang Heng's back from behind, and then murmured: "Stop, don't do this, this is not like you on weekdays..."

"Although I treat you well on weekdays, I remember all your efforts, your persistence, and your tenderness in my heart. I have long...I have fallen in love with you, but do you know why I want to escape from you? Because we can never be together, and we can never..."

"I am a child from the mountains. Just like the children from poor mountainous areas we see in newspapers and textbooks, I am one of them, and the place I came out is even more poor than there... It was the villagers who gathered money together to raise enough tuition for me, and the villagers who smiled and sent me out of the valley. It was the villagers who didn't know a word that was waiting for me. How could I be nostalgic because of the prosperity of this city? What I want to go back, I must go back, bring this knowledge back to the villagers and the children. I want to go back to the mountain village to be a teacher. I want to teach them that I want more children to walk out of the mountainous areas like me. So, no matter how much I like you in my heart, how can I stay with you? I... can't..."

The girl started crying in a low voice. Although she was crying with her back to Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng could imagine the girl's desperate expression... She had never cried. No matter how difficult she was, no matter how hard she endured, no matter how entangled Zhang Heng was with her, she had never cried. She was as strong as the little wild flowers on the mountain bloomed in the season when the cold wind was still there...

But now she is crying, crying so desperately...

"I have always been persistent. Whether it is persistence in the prosperity of this city or the pursuit of you, I have never given up. I have always been willing to work hard and always wanted to go back to that mountain village, but this wish can never come true. Everyone is waiting for me to go back, but I can never go back. Zhang Heng, I can't go back..."

Zhang Heng stood silently, on the clothes around his waist, tears were already wet there, and they penetrated into his skin, his flesh and blood, his soul...

Holding the girl's urn, Zhang Heng, regardless of his parents' desperate opposition or his parents' warning of severing inheritance, resolutely embarked on the same path as the girl... Going to the mountain village where she gave birth to and raised her, he became a primary school teacher in a poor mountain village, teaching the girl's mountain village and the children of another even more impoverished mountain village. This took more than five years.

Forgot the giving up, remember persistence, forget the prosperity of the city, remember the simplicity of the mountain village, forget the beauty of the dew, remember these dark smiles... Zhang Heng always touched the things in his chest and his clothes pocket. It was a photo, the only photo he took with him before his death. After knowing Zhang Heng's decision, the girl smiled so happily and so charmingly. Even though her hair had fallen off at that time and she looked as thin as a skeleton, her bright smile made Zhang Heng feel as if she had returned to the moment she handed him herbs on the playground...

It is bright and charming, as if this life is to wait for the master of this eye...

It was spring, and the snow water melted again. Even the small wooden bridge built by the villagers was washed away. Zhang Heng could only cross the river with his children. After crossing the river once, a sudden rapid flow came, causing him and the child to fall into the rushing stream at the same time. At that time, he had only had time to push the child to the shore, but he was rushed downstream by the stream...

"Wang Xuelian, the person I love... I will persist this time, and I will never give up this time, unless it is until I die and meet you again, I can laugh with confidence, just like the smile I used to pursue you, so that I can have a clear conscience..."
