The wind that rose from the ground made the petals scattered on the ground roll forward, and the wheels pressed over the freshly poured asphalt road, bringing the flowers on the side of the road to blow, and there was always a burst of floral fragrance in the wind.

Baoqing's rickshaw was behind her, and the rickshaw driver ran all the way, which made the oncoming wind whizz in her face. She turned around with her hair back on her face, and she said loudly, "I'm going home, see you tomorrow!"

Her voice was unconsciously amplified, and at the fork in the road, the rickshaw driver turned left and right, and Baoqing waved and said, "Goodbye!"

When she arrived on Yong'an Street, Shen Danyu hurriedly shouted to stop, and the coachman immediately stopped, and she said to the driver: "Wait for me." So he ran into a laundry shop, put a bag on the cabinet, and said to the boss, "Wash the clothes inside, and I'll get it tomorrow, and the money will be given to you when the time comes." The boss didn't have time to speak, so he saw the back of the girl in the blue cloth dress running out as soon as she smoked.

When she got home, it was past dinner, the rickshaw stopped outside the door, and she took out a silver coin from the black cloth bag and paid it to the driver. The lights were on in the house, and the door was unlocked, which made her heart pound.

Sure enough, the dishes on the dinner table had not been withdrawn, and Juan's mother was busy in the kitchen, and when she saw her coming back, she wiped the water stains on her hands, and said, "Come back so late, you're hungry, I'll give you a hot meal, and I'll serve it to you." ”

Shen Danyu hung the bag on the hanger and only said, "I've eaten ......"

Mother Juan's wrinkled eyes blinked twice, and nodded: "Yes, I'm very tired today, look at your tired face." Shen Danyu subconsciously touched his face, and only asked, "Where is my father?" ”

Shen Danyu saw that the door of the living room was closed, and his heart was relieved for some reason. The two moths on the dining table fluttered their wings around the electric lamp, flapping their wings and making a sound, and the black shadows reflected messily on the wall.

She lingered two steps in the doorway, and suddenly the door opened. Shen Feiyin walked out talking with a person who was wearing a uniform, and the title on his left shoulder was the position of the local police chief. When Shen Feiyin saw her daughter standing at the door, she didn't say much, but said, "This is Director Huang, call someone quickly." Shen Danyu obediently called "Uncle Huang". The Director Huang glanced at her twice, but he didn't expect that Boss Shen's daughter was so smart, and praised Shen Feiyin, saying, "Is it like Mrs. Ling?"

Shen Danyu lowered her head shyly, and on the wall above the shrine where she entered the door, there was a photo of their family of three, framed with a glass frame, and Juan's mother would go up to wipe it every day, so the frame of the photo frame would shine cleanly, just like the mother's old smile and eyes were still shining.

Shen Feiyin handed over a few words, and when he sent Director Huang out, he turned around and told her: "If it's okay, go back to the room to do your homework." ”

Shen Danyu went upstairs, and after a while, Juan's mother came up with the fruit, and said to her, "The bath water is put away for you." Shen Danyu thanked her, and Juan's mother closed the door. She had a bouquet of dried flowers on her desk to decorate, but when the wind blew a piece of dried flowers on the paper, she noticed that the balcony window was not closed, so she closed the window and fastened the lock.

When she came out of the shower and saw the light on in her father's study, she hesitated to step forward, gritted her teeth and decided to test her father. She knocked on the door, and Shen Feiyin called "Come in".

Shen Danyu put on a pair of pajamas after taking a bath, which smelled of soap. saw that Shen Feiyin was not sitting at the desk, but standing in front of the window with a bag of cigarettes. Shen Feiyin said: "You haven't slept so late?" Shen Danyu pretended to be relaxed and stepped forward and stood in a row with him. I saw that the night outside was dark, and the moonlight was bright, and it was a dark blue color. You can see the street lamps on the street standing there lonely, empty. She said, "Why did Director Huang come to the house just now? Didn't Dad always dislike dealing with people in officialdom?" Shen Feiyin knocked on his pipe, turned around and said, "Director Huang is here to talk to me about a business, and I haven't agreed yet." Why are you asking this?" Shen Danyu said: "I'm worried, those people in the officialdom are deep in the city, and I'm afraid that my father will suffer." ”

Shen Feiyin looked her up and down, only felt that her daughter was a little strange, and didn't think much: "What are you doing as a girl in charge of the affairs of adults?" Shen Danyu stuck out his tongue and wanted to say something again, Shen Feiyin's voice sounded behind him, and said: "Why did you go home so late today, and Aunt Qijuan still left food for you - did you go to play with that male classmate named Fang Shiyan again?"

At this time, Shen Danyu was anxious, her face was hot, and she stepped forward, but her father had no evidence, after all, she was justified, and raised her face and said: "I went out with Baoqing, and then had dinner together, if you don't believe it, you can ask her." Shen Feiyin exhaled and stopped making a sound. Shen Danyu's heart swelled up, and he whispered: "Why do you have prejudices against that Fang Shiyan...... Is it because his family is not as good as ours and dislikes other people's family backgrounds...... That's not what you taught me from a young age...... A person's good conduct is the most important thing, and a mountain of gold can't compare-" Shen Feiyin slanted a glance, he only felt impatient as if he had something on his mind, put his pipe on the table, and said with a fierce expression: "Enough is enough—what's wrong with you today, do you have something to say to me?"

Shen Danyu blinked, shook his head and said, "No." Shen Feiyin picked up a document and waved his hand as if to rush to the door: "Go back to the room if you have nothing to do, I still have to deal with the things on the cabinet - it is windy at night, remember to close the window." Shen Danyu responded and closed the door of the study. Back in the room, she leaned her back against the door, patting her chest and finally settling down with a hanging heart.

The next morning, she changed her clothes and went to school with her bag on her back. She got up half an hour earlier than usual today, and the driver at home hadn't gone to work yet, so she called a passing rickshaw. She had to go to Yong'an Street to pick up clothes, so she had to make a long walk to get to school, so she got up early so that she wouldn't delay entering the school.

But the shop hadn't opened yet, and she waited for more than ten minutes before finally taking out her clothes. When she arrived at school, almost everyone arrived, she rushed into the classroom, locked her clothes in the locker, and just returned to her seat when the teacher came in. She was still trying to breathe steadily.

During the recess, Baoqing came to talk to her, she leaned in front of her, got closer and said, "Why did you come so late today, it won't be for your father to find out, right?" Shen Danyu shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to get a piece of clothing, so it's late." Baoqing pinched her two braids, rubbed the ends of her hair against her cheeks, and said: "Your father didn't find out, and my father didn't care about me at all, and my mother played cards all night...... It doesn't matter what I'm doing outside, as long as I don't lose my family's face......" Shen Danyu suddenly smiled: "I don't think you've ever been beaten......

Then there was a sound of begging for mercy in the classroom, Shen Danyu bent over, Baoqing came up and tickled her, and said straightly: "Who do you say has itchy skin?" Shen Danyu didn't let go of her mouth at first, but she was afraid of itching, and finally couldn't help but beg for mercy: "It's my itchy skin, it's my itchy skin, right?"

After eating in the cafeteria at noon, Shen Danyu did not go back with the sisters, the meal was eaten faster than usual, and after washing the chopsticks and lunch box, he returned to the classroom.

She carried her bag across a small road with a student residence hall behind her. At this time, everyone went to eat, and the downstairs of the dormitory was very deserted. After a while, when she saw an acquaintance, she called, "Xiansheng." "Xiansheng had just finished eating, and he was holding a lunch box in his right hand, and there were still undried water droplets on the lunch box.

Xiansheng didn't feel strange when he saw her, so he stopped and said, "You came to find Shiyan." ”

Shen Danyu nodded and said, "Did he finish eating? Why didn't he come with you?" Because the school is divided into male and female canteens.

Xiansheng said: "He didn't go to eat at all, no, I helped him get food and came back." Only then did he see the lunch box in his left hand, wrapped in a cloth cover. So he said, "I'll go up and help you get him down." ”

But after a while, Fang Shiyan came out, and the sleeves of his old and white-washed shirt were rolled up. As soon as Shen Danyu saw him, he felt that his whole person was wrong - he was a lot haggard, his eye bags were swollen, and his spirit was not good. She didn't have time to return the clothes, so she only cared about asking: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you rest well?" Fang Shiyan squeezed out a smile and said: "This semester is stressful, there are a lot of things to review, and I have to submit a paper at the end of the month. ”

Shen Danyu was relieved at this time, stretched out his hand and handed it to him: "Return the clothes to you, I will wash them all." Fang Shiyan took it, Shen Danyu originally thought that he still had something to say to himself, but when he saw that he had taken something and was silent, he understood that he was already very tired from his studies, so he spoke: "Then I'll go first, you have to remember to eat on time." ”

Shen Danyu walked, and suddenly turned around, Fang Shiyan was still standing there watching him, and he also saw her, so he waved his hand. When she was far away, she turned and went upstairs.
