Time slipped away in the silence of the night.

When Yang Weiping was halfway through his second cigarette, Su Hongmei's pretty face was full of joy and finished reading the last page.

"Yang Weiping, I don't know what kind of words to use to praise you. Su Hongmei handed the stack of material paper back to Yang Weiping with both hands, and said with a smile: "You are really amazing, such a course, I believe that even primary school students can learn the introductory knowledge of junior high school algebra." ”

"Now it seems that I was completely right. Yang Weiping stretched out his left hand to take the material paper, rested it on the kang table, dusted the cigarette ash into the dustpan with his right hand, and smiled indifferently: "Teacher Su, you will check the content I write in the future." ”

"How can I have the qualifications to check for you!" Su Hongmei shook her head again and again and said.

"As long as there is something that you can't understand and difficult to understand, it means that my writing is not qualified. Yang Weiping said: "My goal is to make it possible for everyone to learn the basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry without the explanation of others, so Mr. Su, your check is very important!"

"Uh-huh!" Su Hongmei nodded vigorously and said, "This pass, I can still help you handle it." ”

Inadvertently seeing the time displayed by the freshly wiped binaural alarm clock on the kang head, Su Hongmei couldn't help but shout: "Oh my God, it's almost eleven o'clock, I have to go home." ”

After speaking, she didn't care about Yang Weiping's reaction, Su Hongmei quickly picked up the flashlight that was resting on the kang table and hurriedly walked out.

"Wait, Mr. Su, it's dark and walking at night, it's not safe for you to be a girl, I'll send you. Yang Weiping got down from the kang, put on his shoes, took a shirt and draped it on his body, turned off two lights, and left only one.

"Well, thank you, Yang Weiping. Su Hongmei stood at the door, looking back at Yang Weiping who was walking towards her, and felt a sweet taste for no reason.

"What's so thankful for this, I'm a man, and that's as it should be. Yang Weiping smiled disappreciatively, closed the door with his hand, and locked it.

"Yang Weiping, why do you still have to lock it?" Su Hongmei asked softly, "Are you still worried about ......?"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently after locking the door, "It's not that I don't trust others, but I have a lot of very important things in my house, and I don't want to be messed up at will." ”

"Uh-huh!" Su Hongmei nodded in agreement and said, "Those materials were all written by you with great effort, in case you lose or break one or two, it will definitely be very troublesome." ”

"Let's go, I'll take a walk too. Yang Weiping nodded with a noncommittal smile and took the lead towards the courtyard gate.

Su Hongmei turned on the flashlight, half a body behind Yang Weiping, and followed behind him, and the flashlight pulled out a long light and shadow in front of him.

The moonlight is like water, and the stars are faint.

The intermittent chirping of crickets, interspersed with a few croaking frogs, made this sultry summer night seem extraordinarily quiet.

Walking on the potholed village road with one foot high and one foot low, neither Yang Weiping nor Su Hongmei spoke, and they didn't know if they didn't know what to say to be appropriate, or if they didn't want to break the peace of the night.

It is not too far from Zhiqing Point to Su Hongmei's house, and it takes less than five minutes to stop and go.

There were still more than ten meters away from Su Hongmei's house, and I saw a middle-aged woman at the door of her house holding a pu fan in her hand, looking in the direction of the Zhiqing Point from time to time.

Probably seeing the flashing of the flashlight, the middle-aged woman asked loudly, "Is it Hongmei?"

"It's me, mother, why haven't you slept yet, why are you standing here?" replied Su Hongmei as she walked.

"What else can I do, of course I'm waiting for you!" Tian Cuifen complained reproachfully: "You dead girl, you don't know how to go home and sleep so late, so I'm here to worry about you." ”…,

"Isn't that what I'm doing, you really don't have anything to worry about. Su Hongmei muttered softly, then turned to Yang Weiping and said, "Okay, I'm home, you go back, borrow the flashlight from you first, so as not to fall off the road." ”

Yang Weiping hesitated slightly, but still reached out to take the flashlight, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay you back tomorrow." Come into the house, I'm leaving. After speaking, he waved his hand at Su Hongmei, turned around and returned the same way.

Su Hongmei stood at the door of the house, watching Yang Weiping's figure gradually melt into the night.

Tian Cuifen saw Su Hongmei standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand and shake it in front of Su Hongmei's eyes a few times, "What else are you looking at, everyone has gone away." ”

"Mother, what are you doing here!" Su Hongmei stomped her feet and said coquettishly.

"No wonder you said in front of Secretary Chen in the village that day that you had someone in your heart, was that person just now?" Tian Cuihua stared at her daughter's eyes seriously and asked, "Are you two already in the middle of the matter?"

"Mother, what are you talking about! I won't tell you, I'll go back to the house and sleep. Su Hongmei blushed and stomped her feet repeatedly, turned around and ran into the door, returned to the room and closed the door, leaning her back against the door, her right hand kept patting her proud and firm chest again and again.

Mother's words just now caused ripples in Su Hongmeifang's heart, but she felt that her heart was beating much faster than usual.

The scene of Yang Weiping standing on the grinding plate and giving an impromptu speech kept dangling in front of her eyes.

Mother's words also reminded Su Hongmei that Yang Weiping's figure always appeared in her mind from time to time in the past two days, do I really like him? Su Hongmei couldn't help but ask herself.

The answer was no, she just had a strong curiosity about him, wondering what kind of person he was. Favor, a little bit, but it's definitely not like it, and it has nothing to do with the object of marriage.

In the outhouse, Su Changgui was holding a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth and walking back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Tian Cuifen rubbed her hands from time to time, looking a little helpless, and looked at Su Changgui with a worried face, "Her father, did you see it just now?"

"Hmm!" Su Changgui nodded and replied, "I saw it, and I also saw a trace of love in the eyes of our daughter." ”

"Yes, what can I do, I also saw the love seedlings in the eyes of our daughter. Tian Cuifen was so anxious that she spun around in place, "What can I do, what can I do." ”

"Hongmei can deal with anyone, but she can't go with any of these educated youths!" Su Changgui said in a very firm tone: "Sooner or later, the educated youths will have to go back to the city, they are all registered in big cities, how can the family agree to let them marry a daughter-in-law with a rural household registration and enter the house! This matter must be explained clearly to Hongmei as soon as possible, and the reason must be explained to her clearly, otherwise if they let them develop, if something really happens, it will be our daughter who will suffer in the end!"

"Uh-huh! She must be persuaded to dismiss this idea as soon as possible. Tian Cuifen nodded again and again and said, "By the way, her father, did you see who the offspring was just now?"

"It's Yang Weiping, a knowledgeable youth in the capital. Su Changgui replied without thinking about it: "The age is more than two years younger than our Hongmei, his parents are gone, and I heard that there is no one else in his family." ”

"Isn't he an orphan?" Tian Cuifen asked in a lost voice.

"Hmm. Su Changgui sighed and said: "If it weren't for catching up with this big movement, Yang Weiping's life should be very good." His parents are both educated people with university education, both of whom have participated in the construction of two bombs and one satellite, and are people who have made great contributions to the country. Even if someone dies, he has to buckle the big hat of the Black Five Category Su Xiu capitalist faction, this world, I really can't understand it more and more. ”

"Why is there no one in his parents' house?" Tian Cuifen asked puzzled. …,

Both are descendants of martyrs and studied together in the Soviet Union. Su Changgui obviously knew more about the family situation of the educated youths in the village, and said with a long sigh: "It is said that Yang Weiping's grandfather was the deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army at the time of the Anti-Japanese War, and he was close comrades-in-arms with many major leaders of the Central Committee. If he is still alive, his grandfather will be at least a general in five or five years. ”

"It turned out to be the descendants of the martyrs, no wonder you asked Hongmei to add two eggs to that pot of millet porridge. Tian Cuifen suddenly muttered.

"That baby is pitiful, I had a high fever of forty-one degrees that night, and I thought he couldn't survive. Su Changgui sighed, "It is estimated that there is also his grandfather, his parents are blessed by the spirit of heaven, and it will be fine in a blink of an eye, and there are no sequelae left, and it seems to be stronger than before." ”

"Since there is no one in his family, it is not bad for our daughter to get along with other people!" Tian Cuifen whimsically opened her eyes and said: "When the time comes, persuade him not to return to the city, just stay in the village and be a son-in-law for our family." ”

"What are you talking about!" Su Changgui glared at his mother-in-law, but then whispered to himself: "Don't say it, this idea is really feasible, if Hongmei is really with Yang Weiping, instead of other educated youths, it is not impossible to accept him as a son-in-law." ”

"Hehehehe, what's the matter, my idea is good!" Tian Cuifen smiled triumphantly.

"Stop figuring it out, sleep, sleep. Su Changgui turned around noncommittally and walked into the inner room.

Tian Cuifen spat lightly at her wife's back, blew out the oil lamp in the hall, and went into the house to sleep in the dark.

The parents in the hall discussed in a low voice, and Su Hongmei listened to it in her room against the door.

It turns out that his background is so pitiful, respectable!

No wonder he has such a wealth of knowledge and can write mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks, it turns out that his parents are both big intellectuals who studied in the Soviet Union.

No wonder his momentum is so strong, it turns out that he inherits the blood of a general in his bones.

Thinking of the son-in-law mentioned by her parents, Su Hongmei couldn't help but feel so ashamed that her ears had a fever. Daddy and mother are really, why do you want to say these shameful words behind people's backs!

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, Su Hongmei rushed to the kang with a flushed face, pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and kicked her feet in the air a few times from time to time.

This night, Su Hongmei suffered from insomnia for the first time in her life.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and all she could think of was Yang Weiping's shadow.
