The night of the upcoming Chinese New Year is not as quiet as usual, and there are fireworks from time to time. In the deep alleys, there was the sound of dogs barking and the laughter of children. It adds a touch of warmth to the evening.

Cheng Wei stood in front of the window, his long figure cast on the glass window, extremely lonely. He didn't go to sleep, but stood in front of the window, taking out a cigarette from time to time and lighting it.

When Zhou He woke up the next day, Cheng Wei had already gotten up, his movements were very light, and he didn't know when he got up, and he was wearing gloves to trim the flowers and plants in the yard.

Seeing her get up, he greeted casually: "Wake up, what do you want to eat, I'll go out and buy it." ”

He said as he took off his gloves.

Zhou He tried his best to ignore last night's embarrassment and said, "No, there are ready-made ingredients at home, I'll just make them." After a slight pause, she asked, "Why do you get up so early?"

Cheng Wei sighed and said, "I'm used to getting up early and can't sleep." ”

He didn't need his help making breakfast, and he continued to put on gloves and trim the branches of the flowers and plants.

Zhou He stood at the door for a while and went in to make breakfast. Instead of boiling porridge, she fried eggs and steamed steamed buns in the refrigerator. Warm up the milk.

Breakfast was simple, and she said to Cheng Wei after eating, "I'm going to go out later." ”

Cheng Wei looked up at her and said, "Where to go, I'll send you." I'm idle anyway. ”

"No, I'll go to Senior Brother Qiu's house. Zhou He said.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the business of Shu Painting Shop is good. I thought they were at home, but after a phone call, I found out that they were all busy in the flower shop.

Zhou He had already refused to let Cheng Wei send it, but when she was about to go out, he still took the car keys and went out with him. said that he was going out too, just along the way.

Cheng Wei was quiet all the way and didn't speak. When he arrived, he stopped the car and said, "I'm near here, I'll call me back later, and we'll go back together." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou He to refuse, and drove away.

The flower shop is doing very well, and the children are taken by Brother Qiu's parents at home. Even though I have two employees, I am still very busy.

Over the years, the florist has grown from a small shop to three or four times the size.

Zhou He was not idle, and helped greet the guests. It wasn't until noon that Shu Hua was able to catch his breath. Sorry said: "You can't greet you properly when you come back, and I'll go to the house for dinner later." ”

Zhou He smiled and asked her not to be polite, and asked about the business status of the store after a few greetings.

The flowers on her side are divided into several grades, all of which are clearly priced, and they are all sold at this time in the morning, all of them are the cheapest, although they are very busy, but they can't make any money.

Many old customers come here because it is cheap. Although the current cost is higher than the original, it is not good to increase the price.

Although it is a small profit, it sells a lot, and the net profit is a lot in a month. It's just that when you're busy, you don't take care of the children very much. Senior Brother Qiu has asked her to hire another person, but she has set up this flower shop herself, and she is not at ease to invite people.

There are few things to do at noon, so I can't let Zhou He stay in the flower shop. Shu Hua told Senior Brother Qiu to look at the store, and then took Zhou He to eat.

The two sat down, and Zhou He poured tea for Shu Hua. Shu Hua took the menu and ordered. When the dishes were ordered, she said: "Come to the house tomorrow for the New Year, Xiaobao likes to be lively the most." ”

Senior Brother Qiu's parents are here, what happened when she went to celebrate the New Year. Zhou He smiled and declined, saying that he would go to the house to see Xiaobao again in the New Year.

Shu Hua knew her character, and he didn't force her, but just told her to go home in the New Year.

When it was time to start eating, Shu Hua hesitated slightly and said, "Ah He, I saw Jingran some time ago. ”

In the past few years, Zhou He has not had any news of Qi Jingran.

She was slightly stunned and looked up at Shu Hua.

Shu Hua didn't go around the bend and said: "Some time ago, she seemed to have come back to Yucheng, and I met her once when I went to the hospital to take Xiaobao to see a doctor. It seemed that she had gone to visit the sick, and she hurried away after only saying hello. ”

Zhou He nodded silently, and after a while, he asked, "Does she seem to be doing well?"

"You should be doing well in terms of how you dress. After a slight pause, Shu Hua continued: "As long as she is not with Luo Kaiwen, she should live well alone." She's been smart since she was a child, and it's easy to do whatever she wants to live. ”

No, Qi Jingran has always been very business-minded.

When many children only knew how to play with mud, she would set up a small table and go to the alley to sell watermelons in the summer. The money saved was used to buy watermelons, which were then iced in well water, peeled and placed at the entrance of the alley to sell to gluttonous children or old ladies playing chess and cards.

It all seemed like a long time ago. Zhou He was slightly in a trance.

And all her self-depravity is because of Kevin Luo.

Zhou He still remembers that when she first dated Luo Kaiwen, she was sweet and happy. often tells her about Luo Kaiwen's goodness and vision for the future.

No one thought that Luo Kaiwen would be the demon who dragged her into the abyss.

She is stubborn, no matter how much Kevin Luo is a jerk, all she remembers is that he was kind to her at the beginning. ignored that Kevin Luo is no longer the original Kevin Luo.

His kindness to her may have been a whim when he first fell in love. And what she gave him was all she had, all she had.

Before Zhou He could come back to her senses, her mobile phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, she said sorry to Shu Hua and picked up the phone.

I thought it was a call from a customer, but it wasn't. As soon as she fed her, Ren Yurong's voice came from the phone: "I heard that you have returned to Yucheng?"

Zhou He didn't expect him to call him, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm back." ”

Ren Yurong on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment and said, "Ziran asked about you a few days ago, come over for the New Year." Your brother is in elementary school and hasn't seen you yet. ”

Zhou He didn't know where he got the news and knew that he was back, but she didn't have any plans for the past, and said, "No need." ”

Although Ren Yurong is not a qualified father to Zhou He, he is academically accomplished but not a fraud. Although the Ren family was defeated, they could still see news about him from time to time.

probably expected that she would refuse, Ren Yurong on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and said: "Even if you can't come for the New Year, let's take the time to come to the house for a meal." I've got something for you here. ”

Zhou Ji didn't know what he had to give to him, she was going to refuse, and after being silent for a while, she agreed. Say that the New Year will pass and greet the New Year.

Ren Yurong agreed, and then hung up the phone.

Because Shu Hua was busy, Zhou He left after eating and saying hello to Senior Brother Xu. Remembering what Cheng Wei said when she left, she hesitated slightly, but still called him.

But the person who came to pick her up was not Cheng Wei, but his driver. politely told Zhou He that Cheng Wei had something to do temporarily, and asked him to come over and send her back to the house.

There have been a lot of things since Cheng Wei came back, and Zhou He didn't ask about anything, and nodded.

Cheng Wei came back at ten o'clock in the evening and brought supper to Zhou He.

The next day was the New Year, and he didn't go out. Get up early to help paste couplets and hang the lanterns of the New Year. The courtyard, which had been deserted, finally had a lively atmosphere.

Zhou He began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at noon, and knowing that Li was also in Yucheng, he asked him to call him over to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the three people did not seem deserted, and Li actually left soon after eating. Cheng Wei opened a bottle of red wine and kept the New Year with Zhou He in the living room.

The gala was playing on the TV, neither of them spoke, and the only sound in the living room was the sound of the TV and the sound of firecrackers outside.

Zhou He suddenly remembered the lonely year when Xu Yuanning sent Shen Yue to the airport in Canada and the car broke down on the road.

She was slightly in a trance, picked up the red wine on the small table and took a sip.

Cheng Wei probably knew that she remembered Xu Yuanning, and she was silent all the time, and only poured her wine when she finished drinking.

Zhou He was unconscious when he went to sleep. She drank much more than that, probably because she was in a bad mood, and she got drunk very quickly.

Her cheeks were crimson, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead. Cheng Wei originally wanted to wipe the sweat off her forehead for her, but in the end she didn't move. He just got up and carried her upstairs.

She weighs lightly and has no trouble holding it. put her on the bed, Cheng Wei covered her with a quilt and left. When he went downstairs and saw the bottle that was being drunk, he took out a cigarette and smoked it.

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhou He got up, the doorbell rang. She originally thought it was Shu Hua's family coming over, and trotted all the way to open the door.

When he opened the door, it was not Shu Hua and Senior Brother Qiu standing outside, but Luo Kaiwen.

I haven't seen him in a few years, and he looks a lot older. There were some gray hairs mixed in the hair. But it seems to be much more down-to-earth and sincere than before.

Zhou Yiyi never wanted to see him, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant. He asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Luo Kaiwen was embarrassed, he didn't seem to be as good at words as in the past, rubbed his hands, and said cautiously: "Knowing that you are coming back for the New Year, I will bring you some food." ”

Among the things he brought were vegetables and fruits. Looks like I'm really here to deliver food.

The expression on Zhou He's face did not change, and he didn't move those things, and said coldly: "No." You should know that you are not welcome here, please come back if you are okay. ”

Her tone was unceremonious. As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

Luo Kaiwen stretched out his hand against the door and asked in a low voice, "I came here to ask if Jing Ran is there." ”

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Zhou He's face, and he said, "Do you think you are qualified to inquire about her?" I don't know where his face came from, and he dared to come to the door to ask for Qi Jingran's news.

Luo Kaiwen's face flushed with shame, lowered his head, and said, "I know that I was a beast before, and I'm sorry for Jingran." But ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou He, she looked at him coldly and said, "Since you know that you are sorry for her, you should stay away from her." Why are you bothering her with her life now?"

Luo Kaiwen was speechless with a disgraced face, and Zhou He slammed the door directly.

Zhou He was on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and he was about to return to Yucheng before he went to Ren Yurong's side. He still lives in the same place, and there is no change from Zhou He's move over the years. Children's toys can occasionally be seen in the living room.

Perhaps because the Tan family had been defeated, Tan Ziran looked much more gentle. I called the children to come and call my sister and cook the food myself.

There was more laughter at this meal because of the children. After eating, Zhou He was called out of the study by Ren Yurong, he took out a passbook from the locked desk, pushed it in front of Zhou He, and said: "This is the dowry for you, which you will use when you get married in the future." ”

He had never provided any care for him in the past. Now he suddenly took out the dowry money.

"No, I don't. Zhou Ji didn't pick it up, and refused lightly. She knew that Ren Yurong called her over, and she couldn't just want to give her the so-called dowry money, nor did she want to go around the bend anymore, so she paused slightly, and then said: "I have to go to the airport in the evening, please tell me something." ”

She thinks she knows her parents well. I don't think that she is their child in their eyes.

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Ren Yurong's face, and he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose in disguise, and asked, "I have a friend's son who just came back from studying in the United States. You're about the same age, would you like to meet?"

This is arranging a blind date for Zhouhe.

Zhou He smiled faintly, stopped sitting, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry Professor Ren, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish." I won't worry about you. ”

There was a slight sarcasm in her tone.

As soon as the words fell, Tan Ziran pushed the door and walked in, blocking Zhou He's way. She was obviously outside just now, squeezed a smile on her face, and said, "Ahe, your father is also for your good." My friend's son, whom I have met, is very handsome and capable, and has just come back to work for a large company......"

Her tone was urgent.

Zhou He's footsteps stopped, his eyes looked straight at Tan Ziran, and he said coldly, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." ”

She said that she was about to bypass Tan Ziran and leave. When she was about to cross Tan Ziran, she reached out and grabbed her arm, looked at Zhou He with resentment in her eyes, and said, "That surname Cheng is the culprit who caused my parents to be imprisoned, do you have to be with him?"

It turned out that they even knew that Cheng Wei was celebrating the New Year at the house.

The corners of Zhou He's mouth rose with sarcasm, and he didn't pay attention to Tan Ziran, but just looked back at Ren Yurong.

Ren Yurong was a little weak, took a few steps forward, and said, "Ahe, you and Cheng Wei are not suitable. Cheng Wei, he's not as simple as you think......"

"You don't have to worry about it. Zhou He's tone was light, and after speaking, he broke away from Tan Ziran's hand and walked out.

Tan Ziran was a little out of control, and wanted to stop Zhou He again, but was stopped by Ren Yurong. She stared at Zhou He's back, gritted her teeth and said, "Zhou He, if you have to be with the surname Cheng, don't think about going back to this home in the future!"

Zhou He's footsteps stopped, looked back at Ren Yurong, and sneered: "I never knew that I actually had a home." ”

She walked out without looking back. Behind him was Tan Ziran's hysterical scolding.

As soon as he walked to the side of the road and was about to stop the car, Ren Yurong drove the car and chased it out. He got out of the car, opened the door, and said, "I'll send you back." ”

Zhou He didn't move and said, "No." ”

Ren Yurong didn't insist, stalemate for a while, and said: "I know, I'm not a qualified father, and I've never helped you before." Now that you've grown up, even if you want to help you, you're powerless. But Cheng Wei is indeed not a good match. He and you are not people of the same world. ”

Zhou He didn't speak, and when he saw a taxi coming, he stepped forward and stopped the car to leave. She didn't say hello to anyone, and returned to Beijing in the afternoon.

When she got on the plane, she planned to close her eyes and recuperate, but as soon as she sat down, she saw Han Xin sitting in the position inside. She is still elegant and beautiful, but she has lost a lot of weight, and her face is not very good.

Zhou He didn't expect that she had already returned from abroad, and she was also in Yucheng, she was slightly stunned, and soon greeted politely, "Miss Han." ”

Han Xin was in a daze, and raised her head when she heard Zhou He say hello. She also didn't expect it to be so coincidental, and quickly squeezed out a smile on her face, nodded slightly, and said, "It's quite a coincidence, are you going back to Beijing too?"

Zhou He's answer is yes. She couldn't find a topic, but it was not easy to change positions, so she fell silent.

Han Xin quickly cheered up and asked her, "Are you working now?"

"Worked up. Zhou He replied.

She was no longer the silent girl she was at the beginning, and began to greet Han Xin politely.

Han Xin should have known about her relationship with Cheng Wei, but she never mentioned it. It's all about inconsequential things.

She came back in the year when Zhou He went abroad, and she came back from abroad because her mother was seriously ill during the Chinese New Year.

She's not young anymore, but she's still single. Not married.

Han Xin was preoccupied, and the two chatted for a while and then stopped talking, just sat in a daze. Zhou He closed his eyes and recuperated.

After getting off the plane, someone came to pick her up and invited Zhou He to go with her, but Zhou He declined. Waited for her to leave before stopping the car and leaving.

The day after returning to Beijing, she went to the Li family's old house. Li Peiyuan went to H City for something, and he hasn't been here for many years. I only returned to Beijing yesterday.

After having breakfast casually, he took Zhou He to sweep the old lady's grave.

Zhou He knew that Xu Yuanning's cemetery was also here, and after sweeping the old lady's grave, he whispered, "Little uncle, I'll go to Senior Brother Xu's side." ”

Li Peiyuan's footsteps paused slightly, nodded, and said yes.

Xu Yuanning's grave is on the top of the mountain, and several bouquets of flowers have been placed in front of the tomb. Li Peiyuan didn't go over, and waited far away.

At the time of the funeral, Zhou Hefu came to the future, and this was the first time she came. Looking at Xu Yuanning's sunny smile on the tombstone, her heart tingled. She resisted the sudden sourness, walked to the tombstone, and called Senior Brother Xu softly.

But Xu Yuanning couldn't give any response, only the photo on the tombstone looked at her.

Zhou He stood in front of the tombstone, her eyes were very astringent, she just looked at Xu Yuanning's bright smile on the tombstone so quietly, and only said goodbye to him after a long time.

probably knew that she was in a bad mood, and Li Peiyuan didn't speak on the way down the mountain. got into the car, Zhou He kept looking out the window, and Li Peiyuan drove silently.

The car hadn't gone far when a large truck drove up on the opposite side. Zhou He didn't care about it at first, but it wasn't until Li Peiyuan hit the steering wheel in a hurry that she suddenly came back to her senses.

The big truck rushed straight towards them, and Li Peiyuan hit the steering wheel, but it immediately stopped there.

Zhou He realized that something was wrong at this time.

Li Peiyuan's face was cold, and he whispered to Zhou He to grab the handrail, stepped on the accelerator violently, and narrowly brushed off the roadside when the big truck was about to crash over.

The truck slammed into the guardrail on the side of the road.

Li Pei didn't look at it from afar, and drove the car fast. The other party obviously didn't just arrange a big truck, and it didn't take long for a few motorcycles with the accelerator pedal to appear behind them, obviously chasing them.

Li Peiyuan's face was ugly, and his thin lips were pursed tightly.

Zhou He grabbed his mobile phone and called the police in a panic.

She tried her best to keep herself composed, and when the phone was answered, she talked about what happened to them and where they were.

Although I called the police, it took time for someone to come. Zhou He hung up the phone, and Li Peiyuan said: "I'll get rid of them later, you get out of the car first and find a place to hide." Their target is me. ”

There were many people on the other side, so they directly arranged for a big truck to come over, obviously wanting his life.

At this time, where can Zhou He leave him. Before she could answer, another car drove up from the opposite side.

Li Peiyuan was already vigilant, where would he let the car crash over. made the previous trick, but still narrowly passed by the car.

The scrape between the cars made a screeching sound, and the tail collision shook the body hard, and Zhou He's head slammed into the glass.

Li Peiyuan didn't care about her at this time, until he drove past the car, then he looked sideways at Zhou He and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhou He quickly calmed down from the shock and said, "It's okay. ”

Something had to be done at this moment, but she had no idea what to do at this moment. She tried her best to calm herself, looked at Li Peiyuan, and asked, "What can I do?"

The motorcycle behind was chasing closely, Li Peiyuan was silent for a while, and said, "You get out of the car at the bend in front, and I'll lead them away." ”

Where would Zhou He agree, he shook his head without thinking about it, and said: "I'm with you, I won't be a burden to you." ”

There were more than a dozen motorcycles behind him, and if he was overtaken, he alone could not be the match for those people. With one more her, maybe we'll be able to delay a little longer.
