Finally arriving on the day when she was fully loaded and ready to go, Qin Li carried her luggage and went to the international airport in S city alone.
Changing her boarding pass, she walked into the waiting hall and stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the airplanes parked in the open space, sighing in her heart.
She took out her cell phone and dialed a call to her home, which was answered by Qin's father.
"Qin Li, your mom asked why you didn't go on a blind date?"
In the matter of leaving the motherland, Qin Li didn't say anything to anyone except her best friend, Dani Qu, so up to now, mom and Dad were still kept in the dark.
"Dad, you should take good care of yourself in the future, smoke less, and go see an endocrinologist when you have time to control your blood sugar. Blood sugar is too high, it will clog the blood vessels."
Qin's father was bewildered, "What are you talking about?"
Qin Li continued, "Mother has high blood pressure, tell her to stick to her medication, as well as hyperthyroidism, which is easy to develop during menopause."
Thinking that she just walked away and left her parents in the country unattended, there was some guilt in her heart, as well as some sentimentality. After all, it was her parents who had raised her for twenty-eight years, and no matter how selfish they were, they had put their heart and soul into bringing her up. In the past, when she was sick, although her mother cursed and grumbled, she still carried her to the doctor in the snowy winter weather. All people and things, there are two sides, there is a dark side, and there is a bright side, things are not absolute, and people are not black or white.
Qin's father asked, "Where are you?"
Qin Li said, "I'm at the airport."
Qin's father wondered, "What are you going to do at the airport?"
Qin Li said, "I'm leaving, don't look for me, you won't find me anyway."
"Where are you going ...?"
Qin's father hadn't even finished speaking when Qin Li's mother snatched him away, and Qin Li's mother furiously shouted on the other end, "Dead girl, you want to deliberately piss me off, right? You give me back, hurry up."
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm unfilial. Just pretend you guys never gave birth to me."
Qin Li's mom yelled, "What are you talking about? What do you mean you never had you? You grew up so big, how much effort did we put into going down, where are you going? To cut ties with us?"
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Li's mother added, "Li Li, you can't be serious, right?"
I heard Qin's father complaining about Qin Li's mom from the side, "It's all because of you, this old woman, forcing her to go on a blind date, I told you that sooner or later something would have to happen, you didn't believe me, and now you've forced your daughter to go."
Qin Li's mom, "Old man, shut up ..."
"Li Li, come back, we're not going on a blind date."
Qin Li's mother had never spoken to herself in such a tone with consultation, she always had the forcefulness of a command, and for a moment, Qin Li's heart softened.
However, she knows her mother too well, she wants to be strong and save face, her big brother can't get ahead in this life, so she puts all her hopes on Qin Li's body. If she went back, maybe it would be calm for a while, but after a long time, things would go wrong again.
"Mom, you still have a big brother."
"Li Li, Qin Li, Qin Li, don't go ..."
Qin Li was ruthless and pressed the hang-up button, Qin Li's mom's voice came to an abrupt end. She took out the SIM card, folded it into two, and threw it into the trash.
Her eyes were a little moist, she blinked and hardened her tears and flattened them back.
Her life is a failure, a pair of parents who do not understand her, a marriage that was interfered with by a mistress, and a job that is not recognized ... Other than that, there is nothing.
The radio was shouting boarding, Qin Li turned to go, because too hasty, did not see someone behind, and the other side collided. Her hands were loose, and her passport, boarding card, and cell phone fell to the ground.
Someone beside her said a word of sorry in Chinese, the man's voice was warm like jade, with a magnet.
But Qin Li did not have the mood to appreciate, she returned the sentence Is okay, and then squatted down to pick up.
The man also followed the squatting, seeming to want to help her, but Qin Li moved too fast, waiting for him to reach out, she had already cleaned up.
Qin Li kept her head down because she was afraid that others would see her red eyes, in front of strangers, she instinctively hid her mess.
The man saw that he couldn't help, so he stood up, but he didn't walk away, but stayed to the side. It wasn't until after she got up that he reached out and handed over a handkerchief.
Qin Li was stunned but did not take it, and after saying a low thank you, she turned around and walked away. It's not like she's a child anymore, being seen crying, she felt a little ashamed, and the steps under her feet were even bigger.
After boarding the plane, this little episode was immediately put to the back of her mind. It takes more than ten hours to fly from S City to Munich, Qin Li's first time taking a long-distance airplane, her mood is complicated, swallows a Valium or wants to sleep but can not sleep. The air in the cabin was not good, her head hurt a little, plus the child in the back seat kept kicking her seat, it was like a year.
Qin Li couldn't bear it anymore and finally exploded, standing up with a loud bang, turning to the people behind her, saying, "Whose child is this? Can you control it? Always kicking my chair, I can't rest."
The child's mother, who was sitting next to the child, pulled the child back and said, "Okay, stop kicking, look at the people who are angry."
The child was finally honest, Qin Li sat down again and heard the mother behind him complaining in a low voice, "What does a three-year-old child know? Besides, this is supposed to be a public place, if you want peace, why don't you go to first class?"
Qin Li closed her eyes and dozed off, pretending not to hear.
After ten minutes of silence, the child behind him started kicking the chair again and kicked it even harder than earlier.
This time it was like kicking on Qin Li's nerves, giving her no peace, but she didn't want to argue away, so she could only endure it. That's right, what's the point of screaming with a three-year-old kid?
Who knows, the child as if the chicken blood like, kicking addicted, left and right, kicking non-stop. Qin Li has no choice but to get up and stand up and wants to go to the back to drink water.
At this time, a German sitting diagonally behind also followed the stand-up, and took the initiative to say, "I and you change a seat."
Qin Li thought that they knew each other, plus the sleeping pills were taking effect and she needed to rest, so when she heard him say that, she begged for it.
She said thank you and switched to the man's spot, and without the little kid kicking behind her, the world quieted down for a moment. In her drowsiness, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was four or five hours later.
The German who had just sat in her seat, adjusted his seat backward to the most inclined angle so that the child could not kick his chair.
Qin Li secretly said, why didn't I think of that just now?
Someone opened the sun visor, and the sun shone in, this was already the land of Europe, most of the people in the cabin had already woken up, and the stewardess began to hand out breakfast.
Qin Li hesitated to change her seat back with him, after all, her luggage was there, coldly, the other person suddenly turned back to her and smiled at her.
This person would not be very old, at most thirty, with a head of brown hair, a pair of blue eyes, and quite handsome. In fact, in the Asian people's aesthetic, as long as the foreigner is not bald, fat, or hemp skin, basically are beautiful handsome man. Who let them have deep features, the straight, the concave, the pointed, the double-double.
Qin Li felt that he looked a bit familiar, upon careful consideration, he should be the one who handed her a handkerchief in the terminal earlier. I did not expect that the two of them boarded an airplane, thinking about her embarrassment just now, she was a little embarrassed, busy turning her eyes away.
After all, Qin Li is not eighteen, nine girls, with self-awareness, did not expect a love affair on the plane, so did not think too much. After eating breakfast, and closed his eyes and rested for a while, until the plane began to land.
Qin Li came to the European continent for the first time, and his mood was a little excited.
Someone in the back was saying that this was the Black Forest, the largest forest area in Germany.
Qin Li's knowledge of the Black Forest was stuck in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She turned her head to look out the window in curiosity, when the airplane was tilted halfway, a large dense forest was displayed. The scenery was completely different from the city of S where she lived, and she finally realized that she had left the hometown that had raised her, but also scarred her.
The plane landed at Munich Airport, and everything went smoothly as she exited customs to get her luggage.
Dani Qu was already waiting outside, and when she saw her come out, she greeted her with a broad brush, reaching out to give her a bear hug.
"Is everything still going well? Did Customs give you a hard time?"
Qin Li reached out and hugged her back, nodding her head, "No, it went well."
Qu Dani looked at her panda eyes and took her luggage, "Didn't sleep well on the plane, did you."
Qin Li took a deep breath and said, "Dani, I got out and jumped out of that pit. Tell me it wasn't a dream!"
Qu Dani looks at her with amusement but with a bit of heartache and says, "Yes, Li Li, you're free, start a new life."
When she went to the parking lot to get her car, Qin Li saw a mini Cooper in front of her and said, "Dani, you've been doing well these past few years."
Qu Dani casually waved her hand, "Just fooling around."
"Blindly mixed can still drive this car."
Qu Dani graciously admitted, "Used car, not much money."
Qin Li said, "Isn't it very free in foreign countries?"
Dani Qu said, "Yes! Other than that, at least no one forced marriage."
The two-term, Qu Dani this year is also twenty-eight years old, still single, and is also the oldest difficult one. Parents in the country in a hurry, a return to force to go on a blind date.
When it comes to forced marriage, Qin Li has a deep experience, Qin Li's mother of her bombardment, so that she was haggard.
Qu Dani went to pay the parking fee, and after a while, she came back. She sat her butt in the car and said, ''I just met my neighbor and spoke to him. What a coincidence, he's on the same flight as you."
She casually said it, and Qin Li just listened with her ears.
Qu Dani started the car, the wheels rolled, and before long, she arrived at Qu Dani's residence. It was a two-room house, adding up to only fifty square feet, but the toilet and bath were separate. The small space was filled with clutter, so it was evident that this guy, too, was a lazy person who didn't like to be tidy.
Qu Dani smiled embarrassedly, "Hey, I got up too early today, I haven't cleaned up yet, you'll go to my room to sleep in a while, I'll organize here."
Qin Li said, "When I find a place to live, I'll move out."
Qu Dani's eyes glared, "Move what? Do you know the price of housing in Munich? My two-bedroom apartment, which is not that big, costs nine hundred Euros a month! Do you have more money than you can use? Give it to me if you can't."
Qin Li said, "Then why don't I give you the rent, and we'll split it in half."
Qu Dani waved her hand, "Hey, that's not what I meant."
"I know you're not, it's me who wants to share with you. I'm new here, and I can't find an apartment at once, and if you don't take it, I'm too embarrassed to live there, so I'll have to go to a student dormitory."
"Student dormitories are too tight, basically don't think about it without applying two or three semesters in advance. Alright, I'm not going to be melodramatic, just give me a third of the rent, and you sleep in the living room at night, how about it?"
Qin Li nodded, "Thanks."
"Thank you my ass, Qin Li, you won't be so motherly, if you want to thank me, you should live out your life in Germany. You'll be angry with the scum and envious of the mistress!"
