It was already late when Zhang Xiaonan returned to the teacher's dormitory building of the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

It was Zhang Yunfeng who sent her back.

On this day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two of them wandered around the city for a long time, and there was no specific destination, although her brother Yunfeng is now a city person, but he is a road idiot in the city. Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaonan can't help but think of playing hide and seek when he was a child, no matter which nest he is hiding in, Brother Yunfeng can always find himself, he is too familiar with the curves and bends of the General Ridge in Yunxi Village, and he is familiar with the crops he takes care of day and night.

Actually, in such an era when old concepts need to be opened up, the way they fall in love is indeed a little different, it is always Zhang Xiaonan, a young woman, who takes the initiative, and Zhang Yunfeng will only nod and say yes. But she was happy and happily took her Yunfeng brother to Ximen Street to buy clothes, went to Beihu Park for a walk, and watched the movie "Farewell My Concubine" at night.

Under the moonlight, Zhang Yunfeng lay on his back on the green grass, Zhang Xiaonan snuggled up to him, the two looked at the vast starry sky and the drifting moon for a long time, and said a lot of intimate words, as well as those old things that can never be finished, so let the sail of memory sail into the past years repeatedly.

While chatting, the two suddenly fell silent. Zhang Yunfeng looked at the starry night sky, in the silent mountains, he could even hear the blood vessels of his sideburns beating, he looked at Zhang Xiaonan with his head pillowed on his arm, and couldn't help but say: "Xiaonan, do you know the difference between you and the stars?"

Zhang Xiaonan was stunned and looked at his side face: "What's the difference?"

Zhang Yunfeng said sneeringly: "The stars light up the night, and you light up my heart." ”

Zhang Xiaonan was stunned!

She immediately sat up on her side and shouted with a smile: "Brother Yunfeng, when will you say such things to please girls?"

Zhang Yunfeng scratched his head embarrassedly: "That, it was Yunqi who taught me." ”

Zhang Xiaonan laughed "poof", just laughing and laughing, tears appeared in her eyes inexplicably. Perhaps, this is the taste of love, there is always joy and sorrow.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

When the two returned to City No. 1 Middle School, it was already late.

Zhang Yunfeng took her hand through the silent campus, she held a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and both of them were immersed in a certain joyful atmosphere, until they came to the gate of the teacher's dormitory building, and saw an old man, and the cheerful laughter stopped abruptly.

Under the dim street lamp, the old man sat on the edge of the flower bed, silently smoking a dry tobacco stick, heard the footsteps, and then slowly turned his head and looked at them, the wrinkled face had a pair of ordinary eyes, it was the kind of ordinary eyes that were stained with wind and frost and cold rain through countless worlds, not hot, not warm, not cold, ordinary, but the hearts of Zhang Yunfeng and Zhang Xiaonan, a pair of young men and women, "banged".

Zhang Xiaonan looked at the cigarette butt thrown at the old man's feet, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Dad, you, how long have you been here?"

Zhang Guorui said not long after, and then said: "You go to the dormitory to rest, I'll talk to Yunfeng." ”

Zhang Xiaonan subconsciously called Dad, but then she didn't know what to say, maybe she was a little weak-hearted! But Huaichun woman's mind is always towards her sweetheart, she is afraid that her father will make things difficult for her Brother Yunfeng, although she has long known that sooner or later there will be such a day, but at this moment, her heart is like a knotted twine, and she doesn't know what to do.

At this time, Zhang Yunfeng seemed extremely calm, and he said to Zhang Xiaonan: "Xiaonan, it's late, you go up first, I'll accompany my uncle to chat." ”

Zhang Xiaonan subconsciously pulled Zhang Yunfeng's arm: "You guys are nagging." Then he said to Zhang Guorui: "Dad, I'll go take a shower and come down later." ”

Zhang Guorui nodded, then watched Zhang Xiaonan pull Zhang Yunfeng's arm, with concern and worry in his eyes, and went upstairs almost in three steps. This made Zhang Guorui can't help but think, maybe in the eyes of this daughter, he, the father, is going to eat her sweetheart alive!

He threw away the butt of his cigarette and patted the edge of the flower bed: "Yunfeng, come and sit here." ”

Zhang Yunfeng hesitated for a while before walking over and sitting next to him, he saw Zhang Guorui holding a local cigarette bag in his hand and rolling a dry tobacco stick, and quickly took out a pack of Furong King from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Guorui and said, "Uncle, you smoke this." ”

Zhang Guorui smiled lightly and took one, but his loose face like a dumpling skin seemed to sigh a little: "I remember that half a year ago, you still smoked a dry tobacco stick, Yun Feng, yes, you really have a chance." ”

Zhang Yunfeng helped him light the fire, and said sneeringly: "I need to socialize, in fact, this taste is too light, and I still like to smoke the local tobacco in our village." ”

Zhang Guorui said with a smile: "This is true, since you came to the city, I have no place to buy local cigarettes to smoke, and the local cigarettes I bought at other people's houses always feel that there is no mellow smell in the local tobacco you planted." You baby, you are a good hand at growing cigarettes. ”

Zhang Yunfeng immediately said: "I still have a few catties of chopped tobacco at home, uncle, I'll let Xiaonan bring it to you when I go back." ”

Zhang Guorui looked at the tall and sturdy man beside him in silence, under the faint moonlight, his sincere face made the old man a little moved, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Yunfeng, you are a good baby, but ...... Eh, Uncle doesn't know what to say, but you should know that I don't agree with you and Xiaonan, okay?"

Zhang Yunfeng nodded.

Zhang Guorui took two puffs of cigarettes: " It's not that Uncle doesn't like you, Yunxi Village can produce a good offspring like you in the nest, it's really a blessing in our village, and now the times are different, not as feudal as the old society, talking about free love, talking about spiritual feelings, our old ones are not fashionable, I can't stop it, I just want to ask you, Yunfeng, now you and Xiaonan are not young, if you get married, it will be inappropriate for so many people in your family to live together, and, after the separation, who will open the powder shop count, is it yours or your mother?"

As soon as he heard Zhang Guorui vaguely mention the meaning of "separation", Zhang Yunfeng instinctively resisted, his mother was old and in poor health, his father was in prison, his younger brothers and sisters were still studying, and the youngest sister was still in elementary school.

Such a thing, he, Zhang Yunfeng, would not be able to do it no matter what. He replied in a somewhat stiff tone: "Uncle, you should know that my family has just opened a branch, and all the money has been invested, and I don't have the money to buy a house for the time being, but the current house is big enough to live in...... As for the powder shop, the funds for opening the store at the beginning were all earned by Yunqi selling game consoles, and the opening of the store later was also promoted by him, so he has to count it as his big head. Although Yunqi is capable and smart, he will definitely be able to make a big difference if he is admitted to a good university in the future, and he can't look down on this thing, but if there is any accident, I have to plan for his future and leave him a foundation. ”

Zhang Guorui took two puffs of cigarettes, perhaps because he smoked too hard, and coughed violently for a while before saying: "Actually, whether you and Xiaonan are good or not, or with other people's girls, what I said are all practical problems." Yun Feng, it's not that your uncle is embarrassed for you, if you become a parent in the future, you will naturally know this kind of taste. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Guorui snuffed out the cigarette butt on the ground, sighed and said: "As for the matter between you and Xiaonan, Uncle understands in his heart, he can't stop it, and Uncle doesn't want to stop it, Uncle just begs you to understand me as a father, you should know that Xiao Nan The Ma Lin introduced to her by her second uncle is a people's policeman, and her parents are both big leaders in state units, with a great future, and they are also very good people, sensible and reasonable." Yun Feng, you can pestering the monster and complaining about your uncle's snobbery. Uncle admitted, uncle can only say sorry for you, but uncle is a person who has suffered from the old society, has experienced too many hardships, and now most of his body is in the ground, and the only thing he can't let go of is Xiao Nan......"

＊＊＊＊＊＊

It was late at night and very windy.

That night, Zhang Yunfeng had forgotten how he got home.

He lay directly on the sofa with his head covered, his heart was furious, and he couldn't sleep, so he took a bottle of liquor from the cupboard and drank it one by one.

Four years ago, he didn't know how to drink, and I couldn't understand why so many men liked to drink such a bitter thing.

Now he doesn't understand either, but likes to drink it.

Just drinking, he suddenly saw a figure in the aisle, silently watching him, he wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I woke up when I heard the door open. Zhang Yunqi walked over and sat on the sofa, took the wine glass and poured a glass of wine, touched the glass with Zhang Yunfeng, and said, "Brother, you watched "Farewell My Concubine" with Sister Xiaonan today, right?"

Zhang Yunfeng nodded.

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said: "Actually, there is a sentence in it that I am quite impressed: people have to be perfect by themselves." If you want to be noble before men, you must suffer after you. ”
