Zhou He woke up the next day at noon, and he didn't know when it was raining outside, crackling on the windowsill.

Although I slept for a few hours, I still didn't get enough sleep, and my mind was a little confused. When I came to my senses and looked sideways, I found that there was no one next to me.

Zhou He rubbed his head a little heavily and got out of bed.

There was no one in the living room, and it was unusually quiet because of the rain. There was a slight noise in the kitchen, and when he went over, he found that Cheng Wei was boiling porridge in the kitchen.

He didn't sleep as long as she did, but he was in good spirits. It was completely unrecognizable that it was someone who slept for only a few hours after dawn.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked back at Zhou He, and said with a slight smile: "Wake up, Li actually sent fresh seafood over and boiled some seafood porridge." ”

She fell asleep, none of which was known. Then he touched his nose and asked, "When did you get up?"

Cheng Wei walked over, reached out and patted her head, and said, "I didn't call you when I saw that you were asleep for a short time." ”

Zhou He sighed, nodded and went to wash up first.

Cheng Wei didn't just get up for a while, the porridge had already been boiled, and he didn't know where to get some side dishes, and the seafood porridge with an attractive fragrance that Zhou He washed out had already been placed on the table.

Zhou He didn't eat much yesterday, but today he had a great appetite for hors d'oeuvre, and he ate two bowls of porridge in a row.

It's raining so hard outside that you can't walk at this point.

Cheng Wei's kitchen was a mess, and after eating the porridge, Zhou He went to clean up the kitchen. Cheng Wei is not good at this kind of work, and has been helping from the side since she cleaned up. After cleaning up, he suddenly reached out and hugged her, buried his head in Zhou He's neck, and said in a low voice: "Little Ahe, shall we get married?"

The place where he lives is deserted all year round, although there are aunts who come to clean and occasionally cook, but only Zhou He will be popular here.

Zhou He didn't expect him to talk about this at this time, and his body couldn't help but stiffen. She let him hold her, but did not answer.

Cheng Wei naturally felt the stiffness of the body of the person in his arms, he did not continue on this topic, kissed her on the cheek, took the topic away casually, and said: "I found a good movie, go watch a movie for a while, and go back after the rain stops for a while." ”

He said as he reached out and turned off the kitchen light.

This topic was brought over like that, and Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief, and followed him to the living room.

Originally, the two watched the movie together, but in the end they still couldn't watch it, and within two minutes of watching the movie, Cheng Wei's mobile phone rang.

His brow furrowed, and he picked up the phone.

The call was from Li Jing, and there was a problem with the goods to a large customer a few days ago, and I only found out today. The other party directly asked to see Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei's brows furrowed even tighter, at this time, it was obviously meaningless to ask why the goods were wrong, and he told Li that he would go over immediately.

Zhou He had already heard the content of the phone, and when he saw him hang up the phone, he said, "You go and do your job, I'll go back by myself later." ”

I just said that I would send her back, but I didn't expect to miss the appointment immediately. Cheng Wei stretched out his hand and hugged her, and said, "Don't, I don't know when the rain will stop, just stay here, I'll be back as soon as I'm done." ”

Dealing with things at work, where he can leave if he wants to, Zhou He hesitated slightly, but nodded in the end.

Cheng Wei left after a while, and it was boring to be alone. Zhou He didn't want to sleep anymore, and remembered what Zhu Jian said about asking the tenant of the property, so she changed her shoes and went out.

The office of the property is on the basement floor, and the staff was eating lunch when she passed, and she waited for someone to finish eating, and then went up to ask.

The attitude of the staff was very good, first said that there may not be a tenant's contact number here. After listening to Zhou He's situation, he said to help investigate.

After making some inquiries, he looked at Zhou He and said, "I don't have the contact information of your tenant here, but I looked at the water and electricity, and your house only generated a small electricity bill, not like someone lived in it." ”

Zhou He couldn't help but be stunned, and the staff remembered her water and electricity bills in the past two years. Very low, really not like it's lived.

The utility bill is very low, but the property fee is paid on time every year and has never been left behind.

Zhou He's mind was a little confused, and after thanking the staff, he left the property office. Upstairs, she stood at the end of the hallway, not moving for a moment.

After a while, he walked slowly, turned out the key, and opened the door.

The house is probably cleaned by people all the time, and it is clean. Even the furnishings inside are exactly the same as when she left.

No need to be sure, Zhou He also knows that no one has lived in this place.

There was no one to live in for a long time, and the house was deserted. The curtains were all drawn, and the light in the room was dim. She stood in the doorway for a moment, then slowly walked into the room. Reached out and turned on the light.

Her mind was in a big mess, since the house was not rented out, she didn't have to think about it to know that the property fee was paid by Li Peiyuan. and the rent that hits her card on time every quarter......

Zhou He forced himself to calm down, he didn't know why the little uncle told her that the house was rented out even though the house was not rented out.

She stood stunned for a moment, then walked to the bedroom and kitchen to look. The bedroom and kitchen were the same as they were when she left. Even many of the furnishings had not been touched, as if she had always lived here.

Zhou Yiyi looked at it one by one, returned to the living room and stayed for a while, and was about to leave, only to see a cigarette butt in the trash can in the living room. The whole house is clean and spotless, and it should be that the aunt didn't notice it when she cleaned it up.

She didn't stay here for long, and soon closed the door and went back to Cheng Wei's house opposite.

She originally wanted to call Li Peiyuan, but in the end she didn't call. didn't wait for Cheng Wei to come back, stayed for a while and then picked up his backpack and went out.

It was still raining heavily, and it was not easy to take a taxi at this time, so she stood outside with an umbrella for a long time before a car came by.

She originally planned to go back to the He family's villa, but in the end, she asked the driver to go to the Li family's old house.

It was only past three o'clock in the afternoon when she passed, and Li Peiyuan had not yet gotten off work. However, the aunt was a little surprised to see her coming in the heavy rain, she just splashed a few drops of rain on her coat, but the aunt hurriedly boiled the ginger soup and let her drink it. I asked her again why she came here in such a heavy rain.

Zhou He smiled and said that there was something to do today, and he remembered that he hadn't come over for a few days, so he stopped by to have a look. knew that Li Peiyuan should be at work at this time, but she still asked.

The aunt said that Li Peiyuan was busy during this time and had not come back for a few days.

Zhou Ji did not stay in the Li family's old house for a long time, and left after eating a bowl of small rice balls under the enthusiasm of his aunt. Although the rain had subsided, it was still drizzling in the air, and her aunt wanted the driver to send her, but she refused.

Coming out of the Li family's old house, Zhou He did not return to Cheng Wei's side, and asked the driver to go directly to the He family's villa. sent a text message to Cheng Wei, saying that she had returned to the He family's villa by herself.

Cheng Wei was probably busy and did not reply to the message.

Zhou He waited for a while and put his phone in his bag and looked sideways at the wet road outside.

The driver in front of her was probably bored and began to chat with her, chattering about the changes in Kyoto over the years.

Zhou He occasionally walked with his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he nodded or responded to such a sentence.

There was some traffic jam on a rainy day, and the car took half an hour longer than usual, and then I arrived at the He family villa.

Usually at this time, there are usually only Li Ying, He An'an and Aunt at home, and when I came back today, I saw He Changhui also sitting in the living room, teaching An An to play chess.

Seeing Zhou He coming back, He An'an ran over as if he had been amnestied, took Zhou He's hand affectionately, and said, "Dad, I won't play with you anymore, I'll play with my sister." ”

He Changhui is strict in the education of the two children, He Anan just thinks it is fun to play chess, but he will explain to her after every game of chess, where she went wrong. The little guy still seems to understand what he doesn't understand, so why is he impatient to listen to this.

He Changhui didn't force her, and smiled well. After saying hello to Zhou He, he asked his aunt to pour Zhou He a cup of hot tea.

When playing chess, Zhou He knew that Li Ying was not at home today, and she went out on a date.

He Anan was hot for three minutes, and after playing a game of chess with Zhou He, he refused to play again, packed up the chess and went upstairs.

Li Ying still hadn't come back at dinner, but He Changhui once again mentioned the matter of letting her go to work in his company.

Zhou He can respond vaguely in the face of Li Ying, but Zhou He can't deal with He Changhui in the face of him. She never thought of entering He Changhui's company, so she said it now. And honestly said that if she stayed, she hadn't thought about what she would do.

He Changhui was gentle, and didn't say much, just asked her to tell him if she needed help, you're welcome.

Zhou Hehe responded.

Telling stories to He An'an in the evening, Zhou He went upstairs early. It was already more than ten o'clock when He An'an went to sleep and came out, and when he returned to the room, he found that there was a missed call on the mobile phone that was muted, and it was Cheng Wei calling.

The call had been made a few hours ago, and Zhou He's mobile phone had always been in his bag, so he didn't notice it.

She dialed the phone back.

Cheng Wei quickly picked up the phone, and before Zhou He could say anything, he said on the other end of the phone: "Didn't you wait for me to come back? Why did you go back first?"

Zhou Rong didn't tell him about the house, and said that the rain was not very heavy, so he came back first.

Cheng Wei was quiet over there, and after she finished speaking, she asked again, "Are you busy now?"

Cheng Wei sighed and said, "I'm done." ”

What the other party wants is not to apologize, it is not the first time they have cooperated, but to take advantage of this product problem to reduce the price. Originally, the responsibility was on them, and he readily responded to the other party's request and immediately exchanged the goods for the other party. Things worked out well.

Zhou He nodded on the phone, thinking that he couldn't see it and hummed again.

She couldn't find anything to say for a while, Cheng Wei turned off the computer, was a little thirsty, and went to the kitchen to pour water, while asking, "Are you sleeping now?"

Zhou He replied that he had just returned to the room, and he hadn't slept yet.

Cheng Wei was alone in the room, how could it be empty, after taking the water, he took a sip and said softly: "Little Ahe, don't go back to school, okay?"

There is no urgency to get married, and the first priority now is to keep people.

He paused as he spoke, and then coaxed and said, "There are enough teachers over there now, and it's the same if you don't go back or not." So don't go there, stay in Kyoto, and go back to Yucheng if you want. The house over there in Yucheng has been empty for so long, you can go back and replant some flowers and plants. You can also have a dog or a cat, and set up a deck chair in the yard in your spare time, read a book and bask in the sun. ”

Before Zhou He's time to come down, he arranged the future days.

Rather than staying in Kyoto, he preferred Zhou He to return to Yucheng. There is no one to control in Yucheng, and you don't have to be sneaky about dating like now.

Although Cheng Wei has already arranged it, he is still a little weak in his heart. originally thought that it would take some words to Zhou He to agree, but who knew that as soon as his words fell, Zhou He responded with a good word.

This made Cheng Wei stunned for a moment, he seemed to be a little incredulous, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Ahe, did you hear what I said clearly?"

Zhou He couldn't help but be a little amused, and said, "Didn't you let me stay?"

It turned out that she had heard clearly, and it was not his hallucination.

Cheng Wei let out a long sigh of relief, this was worth celebrating, and he couldn't wait to see Zhou He right away. He raised his wrist and looked at the time, and coaxed and said, "Shall I come and take you to supper?"

Zhou He was inconvenient to go out in the middle of the night, and was startled when he heard this, and said without thinking: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat supper." ”

Cheng Wei sighed suddenly and said, "Little Ahe, don't you miss me at all?"

Zhou He was a little sullen and said, "Aren't we still together at noon?"

She never knew that Cheng Wei would be so clingy.

Cheng Wei said seriously on the other side of the phone: "Then it will be ten hours soon." He snorted as he said and said, "Little Ahe, you really don't want me." ”

Compared to Zhou He, who didn't know what to say, Cheng Wei had a lot of words. Most of the time, it's just teasing. After talking on the phone for half an hour, I remembered that she didn't sleep last night, and only hung up the phone after sleeping for a few hours during the day, so that she could rest early at night.

Although Zhou He didn't sleep much last night, he was also sleepy. But after washing, I collapsed on the bed, but I couldn't sleep at all. Not going back to school is a lot of work.

She had to find a new job. I also want to go back to Yucheng. She is more accustomed to life in Yucheng than in Kyoto. Even the weather feels that Yucheng is better.

There were a lot of thoughts in her head, and finally her upper and lower eyelids couldn't hold it anymore, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Since the house has not been rented out, the rent will naturally be refunded to Li Peiyuan. There are only ten days left before the next rent payment, Zhou He hesitated for a moment, and went over when he learned that Li Peiyuan was in the Li family's old house on the weekend.

She didn't know why Li Peiyuan didn't rent out the house, but it was obviously inconvenient to ask about this matter on the phone.

She went out to tell Li Ying, and when she learned that she was going to the Li family's old house, Li Ying's expression was a little imperceptible stiff, and she soon asked the driver to send her over as usual. And asked her when she would be back and if she would like the driver to wait for her over there.

Zhou He said that she should not come back until the afternoon, so that the driver did not have to wait, she would come back by herself.

Li Ying was a little speechless, but in the end she didn't say anything, and told her to be careful on the road.

Zhou He had breakfast, and it was already past ten o'clock. The weather was gloomy, and Li Peiyuan rarely stayed in the study, but pruned the branches of the trees in the courtyard outside.

Because he had called in advance, he was not surprised to see Zhou Heli Pei Yuan, and said that he came over, and said that his aunt had made a snack and asked her to taste it first, and he would enter the house later.

Zhou He, after complimenting, went into the house and took a piece of snack, and then came to the courtyard again.

Li Peiyuan was the same as usual, very gentle, and asked her what she was doing all this time.

Because school is about to start, everyone is asking her if she will go back to school during this time, but Li Peiyuan didn't ask. Just talk about some trivial things in life.

The matter of the house weighed heavily on Zhou He's heart, and seeing that Li Peiyuan had been pruning the branches carefully, she hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Uncle, I went to the house yesterday." ”

Li Peiyuan's movements paused slightly.

Zhou He then said: "Have you never rented out the house?"

There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere. After a few tens of seconds, Li Peiyuan continued to prune the branches, and said in a low voice: "That house was your grandmother's dowry in the past. ”

He said this, where would Zhou He not understand. Because it was the old lady's dowry, many small details of the furniture in it were later arranged by the old lady herself. And once outsiders live in, everyone's living habits are different, and many places will be changed.

He has always missed the old lady, and naturally he will not let people destroy the details of the layout of the house. And Zhou He has to survive, and she won't ask for money directly, so she will give her 'rent'. In this way, she will naturally not have a psychological burden.

Zhou Yiyi didn't know what he felt in his heart, his nose was very sour, and he called his uncle.

Li Peiyuan stopped, put the scissors aside, sighed lowly, and said helplessly: "Don't cry, it's not a big deal." I am your little uncle, and I should take care of you. When your grandmother left, you were the most relieved, and you were stubborn. ”

The implication is that if she wasn't so stubborn, he wouldn't give her the money in such a way.

Zhou Heqiang suppressed the sourness in his nose and said, "I have enough money to spend." ”

The old lady left her money, except for the initial travel expenses, although the salary of teaching there was very low, but there was no place to spend money there, and the salary was completely enough for her.

She looked like she would cry at any time, Li Peiyuan was helpless, and said, "Okay, you have enough money to spend." I won't do that anymore. ”

It took a while for Zhou He to calm down, and Li Peiyuan did not continue on this topic, and then asked if she would go back to school.

It's all decided, and Zhou Ji didn't hide it from him. She said she wouldn't go back, but she wanted to go back to Yucheng.

It is much better to return to Yu City than to be in D City, Li Peiyuan nodded. Knowing that she had to find a job to stay, he asked her what her plans were.

Talking to him Zhou He is much more relaxed, and now he said that he has no plans. She will resign from the principal's side first, go back to Yucheng to have a look, and then make specific plans.

Li Peiyuan nodded, asking her to tell him if she needed help.

Zhou He's okay. Remembering that his aunt said that he was busy all this time, he asked, "Uncle, are you busy all this time?"

In the past, Li Ruifeng still urged him to get married from time to time, but now it seems that he is no longer urging. And Li Peiyuan himself doesn't seem to have any plans to get married.

Li Peiyuan nodded, he didn't plan to talk to Zhou He about things at work, and said lightly: "There have been a lot of things in this period of time, and I can be idle after this time." ”

Uncle Zhou He's position has not been promoted, but Li Peiyuan has been promoted several levels after returning to Kyoto. In a high position, how can you not be busy.

Zhou He didn't ask anything after hearing that he was not busy after this period of time, and nodded his head.

Li Peiyuan rinsed and put on gloves and began to prune the branches, and asked, "When do you plan to return to Yucheng?"

Zhou He hadn't decided on this matter, but she had been in Kyoto for a long time. She hesitated a little and said, "It's not settled yet, I plan to go back as soon as possible." ”

She wanted to go back early and tidy up the house. I also want to go back and go to the cemetery of Aunt Qi and Qi Jingran. I didn't feel it when I settled down, but when I settled down, I realized that I missed everything over there.

Although she was born in Kyoto, she is already a native of Yucheng in her bones.

The matter of the house was clarified, and Zhou He was relieved. She knew that the rent would be returned directly to Li Peiyuan, and Li Peiyuan would definitely not ask for it, so she thought about buying it as a gift for him.

But the rent for two years was not a small amount, and she couldn't think of anything more suitable and practical for a while.

This matter is in a hurry, so I can only think about it slowly, or after a while, I will knock on the left side and ask Li Peiyuan if there is anything to buy.

It was easy to stay in the old mansion, and Zhou He returned to the He family's villa after dinner.

During the time she came, she had never seen her eldest uncle and cousin Li Tian. When I went back in the evening of this day, I saw Li Tian, who I hadn't seen for a long time, at the He family's villa.

She came alone and didn't bring any young children. I should have come here because of something. She and Li Ying should have already agreed, and after Zhou He went back, she paused for a moment before getting up to say goodbye and leave.

Zhou He accompanied Li Ying to send her out of the yard, and when she got in the car and left, Zhou He asked, "Is there something wrong with Sister Li Tian coming over?"
