Fan Yun came quietly and left quietly. Looking at her distant back, Zheng Wenshu stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time without making a sound. When she came to her senses and looked back at Mrs. Cen, she found her mother-in-law sitting on the chair with a very ugly face.

"Mom, are you okay?" Seeing Mrs. Cen like this, Zheng Wenshu was a little anxious. She knew that her mother-in-law had a heart condition, and her respiratory function was not good, so she could not be stimulated.

"I'm fine. Mrs. Cen waved her hand gently. She held her breath for a long time, and after several efforts, she coughed up a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in her throat. Seeing her struggling appearance, Zheng Wenshu took the spittoon and gently beat her back.

Enjoying her daughter-in-law's filial piety, Mrs. Cen was very pleased. But this was only a matter of a moment, and soon, unhappiness came to my heart again: "Wen Shu, you said that there are people here, how can they turn their faces faster than turning books?"

"You mean Lu Junyi?" Zheng Wenshu asked lightly on Mrs. Cen's back in her hand.

"Who else is she not?" Mrs. Cen sighed, "I think at the beginning, we didn't entertain her less, but now she treats us like this, isn't this too ignorant?"

Also, listening to her mother-in-law's words, although Zheng Wenshu did not respond, she agreed in her heart. She thought that although she was not as experienced as her mother-in-law, she was almost fifty years old, and people like Lu Chunyi were really rare.

"I heard that she still wants to be pragmatic with us?" As she spoke, Mrs. Cen suddenly remembered the rumors she had heard some time ago, so she asked her daughter-in-law for confirmation.

"How do you know?" Zheng Wenshu was a little surprised to hear her mother-in-law ask this.

"Looks like that's the case. From her daughter-in-law's rhetorical question, Mrs. Cen confirmed her guess. However, instead of making her happy that she still knew some information, it made her even more unhappy. "With her virtue, she still wants to marry my family pragmatically, I'm afraid she wants to deviate. She said angrily.

Listening to her mother-in-law's angry words, Zheng Wenshu did not squeak. She actually saw Lu Chunyi's thoughts about making a boyfriend and girlfriend with pragmatism, but she kept it in her heart, and she didn't even say anything about Cen Huanian. For this woman, although she felt good in the past, she really wanted to accept her as her daughter-in-law, but she felt that she had not yet reached that role.

Although she couldn't say anything bad about this woman, she always felt that she didn't feel as comfortable as You Shanshan. Now that her mother-in-law mentions this matter, she will naturally have a new look at this girl, and it is precisely because of this that from her mother-in-law's words, she thought of pragmatism. It has been more than half a year since the last letter, and I haven't received a word from him, and I don't know what his situation is, which is really worrying.

But Zheng Wenshu didn't expect that she was worried about her son at home, and Cen Shipra, who was thousands of miles away, was also thinking about her parents and the whole family, and because she couldn't help herself, this kind of thinking was more powerful than her concern for him, and the mood was like a kite with a broken string.

A year ago, when the situation had just changed, Cen Shishi's heart was clouded. It is precisely because of this that he naturally thinks of his hometown and the Yahou Street where he was born and raised. What a nostalgic place it is.

There, there are ancient and elegant houses, deep and quiet lanes, and pleasing flowers and plants. There, I did homework with Peng Kai and other classmates, asked Jia Shan, Xin Weiping and his brothers for learning methods, and took his new brother to pick well water and make briquettes for the family...... By the way, in that spacious courtyard, I also screened my shadow puppet show for my neighbors on a summer night on the weekend, and won their applause. But can these things happen again?

All I could know from my mother's letter was that the streets were battered and scarred. This is still self-sufficient, and what is even more worrying is that many of the people who live in this world are not having a good time now. Thinking of the treatment that his father was very likely to suffer at this moment, Cen Shishi was very painful.

But Cen Pragmatic never imagined that when he was worried about his hometown and family, he also suffered an unexpected impact.

Cen pragmatic school held a meeting and lined up, and when he looked up, he found that Yu Shengnan, who was walking on the edge of the line, was squinting at him, and he had been staring at him for a long time.

Seeing that cold gaze, Cen was speechless. He turned his face sideways, trying to avoid the hateful look in his eyes. He couldn't figure out how a woman could have such a big hatred, and just because she couldn't succeed in courtship.

Cen Shishi met Yu Shengnan four years ago, and the chance was simple: as an upperclassman, she was selected as a political counselor in the lower grades according to the school's practice. Originally, this was a very ordinary thing, but she didn't expect that after leading the classmates to carry out a few activities, she fell in love with him, and she came to find him when she had nothing to do, and she was very affectionate, which made him overwhelmed. In the end, she generously made clear her intentions, saying that she liked him and wanted him to be her boyfriend.

Seeing that although she was not shy but did not hide her liking for him, Cen Shishi was greatly surprised: Which one of her methods entered her eyes and could be favored by her? You must know that as one of the few student party members in the department, and she thinks she is beautiful, she rarely casts a green eye on ordinary people. And what he didn't expect was that she actually said that as long as he agreed, she would be assigned a bag after graduation, and not only could she stay in Shanghai, but also enter the government.

For the teachers and students in the department, if they knew that Yu Shengnan ignored many suitors, but fell in love with Cen Pragmatic from a remote town, and did not hesitate to stage a story of trees and vines, and the conditions offered were so favorable, they would definitely be surprised.

But in Cen Pragmatic's opinion, although this dumpling fell from the sky, it was not fragrant, because he had never liked strong women, not to mention that he already had a beloved Shanshan. As for the conditions she offered, in his opinion, it was nothing less than a contempt and even an insult: As a college student, my work is assigned by the state, and I can't do it without you? Of course, it is also my wish to stay in Shanghai and enter the government, but I have never thought of realizing it by improper means. Now you say this, what kind of person do you think of me, a soft eater?

What should I do? Faced with such a situation, Cen Shishi hesitated: Accept it? That is impossible; Refuse? With her own personality, she will definitely not be able to stand it. However, after several hesitations, Cen pragmatically decided to make it clear to her in person, thanking her for her kindness, but he couldn't accept it, because he already had a girlfriend.

"Can't you reconsider it if you have it?" Faced with Cen Shishi's seemingly euphemistic but firm answer, Yu Shengnan really couldn't accept it.

She has always thought that she is good in all aspects, and there is nothing that cannot be done, including emotional problems, but the first time she confessed to a big boy she liked, she was rejected, and he just studied well and looked in line with her own aesthetic standards, is this not sure to embarrass herself? And no matter how she went to him after that, he deliberately avoided it, which was too shameless for herself!

Cen Pragmatic, if you treat me like this, don't blame me for being unkind to you in the future! Seeing that Cen Pragmatic didn't know how to lift, Yu Shengnan felt very unhappy. It's just that because his performance has always been good, and the teachers and classmates in the department have a good impression, he really can't find anything wrong, so he has to bury this hatred born from the failure of love in his heart.

It is also in line with Cen to be pragmatic and unlucky, and now taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Shengnan decided to piggyback and beat him. She knows that he doesn't mess with right and wrong, doesn't care about idle things, and it's not easy to find his faults, but what's the point?

Yu Shengnan had what kind of thoughts he had, and Cen Shishi, who was walking in the middle of the team with his head down, didn't need to think about it to know what her squinting gaze meant. But he never thought that when he and his classmates had just walked into the largest lecture hall in the teaching building, and before he could sit down in his seat, Yu Shengnan began to target him, and the attack in his words made him sigh deeply in his heart. Even though he knew that he hadn't done anything, he was still surprised by the life of the woman in front of him. He couldn't have imagined that just because the courtship failed, a woman would deliberately retaliate. Looking at her decent face, thinking of the scene when she was very enthusiastic in leading her classmates to carry out club activities in the past, he never imagined that she would be such a person.

Cen Pragmatic will think about something at this time, Yu Shengnan can think of it without guessing. She thought that he might regret his refusal in the face of an unwarranted disaster, so she showed a begging look. But now, judging from the look on his face that didn't look at him, it was obvious that he had gone all the way to the dark. Since this is the case, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless, see if he dares not to put himself in his eyes.

"Cen is pragmatic, there is your letter. As soon as he entered the dormitory, his roommate handed over a letter from the porter, "It's still from the army." ”

Hearing this, Cen Shishi felt incredulous: he didn't have any relatives and friends in the army, but after taking the letter, he found that the sending address was exactly what his roommate said. Suspicious, his hand sped up. When I hurriedly opened it, I found that the letter was from You Shanshan.

It was her! When she was depressed, she suddenly received a letter from her sweetheart, and Cen Shishi was very excited. At this moment, he doesn't talk about sweeping the burden in his heart, at least he feels a lot more relaxed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like encountering Ganlin in a great drought.

"It's a letter from my girlfriend. Seeing Cen Shishi's tightly knit brows loosen, the roommates kindly guessed.

"Sort of. Cen was pragmatic and couldn't admit it, and it was not good not to admit it, so he replied vaguely.

"Yes, yes, no, no, whatever. The roommates were not satisfied with this answer. But it was a matter of moments, and soon they fell silent. After glancing at each other, they quietly picked up the rice bowl and slipped out of the bedroom.

Not only did they have already heard that Cen pragmatically rejected Yu Shengnan's courtship, but they also guessed that his current situation was very likely to be due to the latter's plan. Now receiving a letter from his girlfriend is undoubtedly a gratifying thing for him. This happiness should be left to him alone to enjoy slowly, after all, the mutual affection of the sweetheart is much more useful than the comfort of others.

Living in a dormitory for four years, how could Cen pragmatic not know what his classmates were thinking. It's just that he was too excited at this time, and he had already thrown the previous humiliation and resentment behind him, and all he had in front of him was the scene of himself and Shanshan meeting in the pear garden pavilion on the side of Yahou Street, just her shy, moving appearance.

Three years ago, in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Cen returned to Lichuan from Shanghai. What prompted him to change his plan to stay at the school and temporarily decide to go home was the letter You Shanshan wrote to him from Guangzhou before the holiday, which made him excited. In the letter, she said she wished he could come home and that she had something to say to him. Sure enough, on the third day after returning to Lichuan, he waited for her at his home in Yahou Street.

"Are your mom and dad at home?" You Shanshan entered the hall and stretched out her head to look.

"Just sent off a guest. Seeing her ask like this, Cen was a little strange. But when I saw her shyness, I immediately understood something, so I tentatively asked, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"

"Okay. You Shanshan agreed, but then her face turned red.

Looking at her like this, Cen Shishi's heart jumped a little. He made up his mind, took his scarf, insisted on wrapping You Shanshan around his head, and walked out of the courtyard gate with her. Before leaving, Xiang Zheng and Limin, who were watching the two of them, confessed and asked them to tell their parents.

It was the third day of the Lunar New Year, the weather was very cold, and there were no people in sight in the lanes of Yahou Street. Unconsciously, the two walked through several lanes, walked into the pear orchard next to Yahou Street, and finally walked into the pavilion with snow on the railing.

"It's so beautiful. Standing in the pavilion, looking around at the world of ice crystal jade in front of him, You Shanshan praised sincerely.

Listening to the admiration and looking around, Cen was pragmatic and thought so, but when he looked back at You Shanshan, he felt that what was really beautiful was not the garden covered with snow, but the pear tree in the garden like a jade tree and Qionghua, but the person around her.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" You Shanshan was a little embarrassed when she noticed Cen Shishi's gaze on her.

"Because you're good-looking. Cen blurted out pragmatically, and felt a little embarrassed after saying it.

Hearing him say this, You Shanshan's face turned red again. She glanced at him affectionately, and although she didn't squeak, her heart was very useful.

Looking at her delicate and lovely demeanor, Cen was a little stunned. At this moment, he remembered what You Shanshan had said in his letter, and asked, "Didn't you say that you had something to say to me, what words?"

"You know that. You Shanshan blushed, glanced at him, and muttered.

"I know?" Cen was stunned at first, but once he saw You Shanshan's shy expression, he immediately understood. In an instant, the tide of emotion surged. Impulsively, he took You Shanshan's soft little hand into his thick palm.

"Brother Pragmatic!" Looking at Cen Pragmatic's eager eyes, You Shanshan's heart was about to melt. At that moment, she felt a little dizzy and her legs a little weak, and unconsciously, she leaned softly on Cen Shishi's shoulder.

Suddenly seeing You Shanshan like this, Cen was a little stunned. But once he came back to his senses, needless to say, he was excited, and he had the courage to hug Shanshan over and hug him in his arms. But though people try to be calm, their hands tremble involuntarily.

Being hugged tightly by Cen Pragmatic, You Shanshan had forgotten everything around her. Although it was cold at the moment, she didn't feel cold at all. All she could feel was Cen Shishi's generous and warm heart, and the powerful arms that hugged her.

Cen pragmatic looked down at You Shanshan in his arms. He felt that she was so beautiful at the moment, the curved eyebrows, bright phoenix eyes, delicate nose bridge, ruddy mouth, together with the oval face and white skin, all of them were born just right, especially the soft and elastic body that clinged to him, which made him feel that everything about her was lovely. I can't see enough and hold enough. Looking at her extremely charming face, especially at the shy look of her half-closed eyes as if looking for something, he tried his best to suppress the beating of his heart, and kissed her little mouth that was constantly approaching.

……

"Cen Shipra, why don't you go to eat, the canteen is about to close. With the sound of footsteps, the classmates in the dormitory returned from the cafeteria. Seeing that Cen was still reading the letter, they quipped: "It's really sent by my girlfriend, otherwise, you can't even skip eating." ”

"Otherwise, how could Yan Shu say back then, 'I want to send color notes and rulers.' Where do you know where the mountains and rivers are?'" someone hung up the book bag.

"Don't say, 'The beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth 10,000 dollars'. As soon as the voice fell here, the other side handed over the word.

"That's not a good thing to say," someone picked up immediately.

"Yes, but we didn't hear anything. "Quietly, someone said.

"Yes, yes, we didn't hear anything. And they all chimed in.

Hearing this, Cen was pragmatic at first, and then smiled bitterly, not only for the friendly ridicule of the room, but also for the gradual severity of the situation.

For more than a year, that Yu Shengnan still had to get along with himself, which was depressing when he thought about it. If possible, I really don't want to stay here for an extra day, just go back to my hometown. I just don't know what's going on in Lichuan nowadays, and what is the situation at home?

Alas-

Thinking of this, Cen Shishi's mood was very heavy, and most of the joy generated by You Shanshan's letter disappeared in an instant. In her letter, she reminded herself that she must be cautious in her words and deeds, but some disasters cannot be avoided by being cautious in words and deeds! Like that Yu Shengnan, she didn't provoke her anything, but she just wanted to fix you, which was really helpless.

Forget it, I don't want to, it's better to be the same as everyone, let's boil. Thinking of this, Cen Shishi picked up the rice bowl, nodded to his roommates, and walked towards the cafeteria. But not far from the dormitory, I heard the whispers of my roommates-

"How did you get the pragmatic letter?"

"I saw it at the porter, and I brought it by the way. ”

"That's weird. ”

"Why?"

"You don't know, there was a meeting the day before yesterday, and the person surnamed Yu said that he wanted to block Cen Shishi's letter."

"How can this be?"

"yes, what right does she have to do that?"

……

Hearing this, Cen Shishi's mood became bad again: it seems that the reason why Shanshan's letter can reach her hands is largely because she used an envelope for the army. This was in her, but the classmate who was in the army gave it to her casually, but she didn't expect to inadvertently help him avoid Yu Shengnan. But how long can this practice last? Not to mention Yu Shengnan's eyeing himself, even if the army's envelope works, Shanshan's classmate can't give it to her every time.

Thinking of this, Cen Pragmatic's footsteps were very sluggish. In the end, he didn't know how he got to the cafeteria or what kind of food he bought. All he knew was that he had to hurry up and write a letter to his family and Shanshan to report that he was safe.
