32 Chapter34 Unwillingly
The winter break is expected to arrive as scheduled, and the report card will be sent to your home in about a week, during which everyone can completely relax, put aside the results for a while, forget about the fear and worry, and have a good time.
And Shen Fan went back to the countryside after tidying up the textbooks for the first half semester of high school and the second year of high school, on the one hand, she was not worried about her grandfather who returned to her hometown alone, and on the other hand, she also needed to sort out the thoughts born because of Gu Dingheng's birthday.
The ancestral house in the countryside is still the same, with wooden structures, dirt floors, old-fashioned tall beds, old and bulky cabinets, and grandfathers who sit under the porch to repair shoes. Grandpa Shen has an excellent skill in making shoes, and when he gets older, his hands are not as flexible as before, but his skills are not lost. Living alone in an ancestral house, he also wanted to find something to do, and several nearby villages knew his skills, and they all came to the door if they needed to repair shoes. Grandpa Shen generally charges a material fee, and sometimes he doesn't charge money, and the villagers give some vegetables or fish and shrimp caught. Slowly, in addition to the elderly, young people will also come to repair shoes.
"Grandpa, it's so cold outside, why are you sitting here, go inside." Shen Fan put his luggage and wanted to help his grandfather in.
"Ah Yan, you kid, why don't you say it in advance, grandpa is ready to prepare." Grandpa Shen was surprised and worried about his granddaughter who suddenly appeared, and he usually didn't buy any vegetables alone.
"I still need to say in advance when I come to see grandpa, I don't need grandpa to prepare, I'm ready!" Shen Fan motioned to her grandfather to look at the things she brought, in addition to clothes and books, she didn't have meat, fish and other ingredients, "Let grandpa taste my craftsmanship today." β
"Oh, Ah Fan can cook? Okay, good, grandpa wants to be happy! Grandpa Shen looked at her with a loving smile.
"Grandpa, come in, it's cold." Shen Fan urged again, although there is sun, the corridor house in winter is still exposed to cold wind, and it will definitely be cold after sitting for a long time.
"The light inside is not good, grandpa will make up this pair and go into the house." Grandpa Shen still insisted, "Ah Fan go in quickly, don't freeze, you must be tired from coming from Shenzhou, take a rest first." β
Shen Fan knew that his grandfather had his own insistence on repairing shoes, so he didn't say anything anymore and took his luggage into the house. The ancestral house is a four-hall two-bay bungalow with a small patio in the middle and a loquat tree planted. Before going to elementary school, Shen Fan lived with her grandparents in the ancestral house, and after returning to her parents to study at the age of seven, she rarely came back to live except for the Chinese New Year. But her grandparents have always kept her room, facing the patio, the one with the best lighting, and there is still a writing desk made for her by her grandfather when she was a child.
After looking around the room, I took out the bedding that my grandfather had put in the cupboard, took the quilt, pillow and mattress to the windowsill to dry, and then put the clothes and books in place. Seeing that his grandfather hadn't come in yet, Shen Fan took the newly bought hot water bag, filled it with hot water and took it out for his grandfather.
"Grandpa, I know you don't like to use charging, I bought you a new one, and I also brought my own thermal bag, you try it." Shen Fan stuffed the warm water bag into his grandfather's arms like a treasure.
"What Ah Fan bought must be good, it's very warm." Grandpa Shen touched the warm water bag and looked at his granddaughter squatting beside him, "In the blink of an eye, Ah Fan has grown so big...... It's still the same as when you were a child, when you were young, you also watched your grandmother fill the warm water bag every night, and then put it in the bed for your grandparents, but unfortunately your grandma went early and didn't see the grown-up Ah Qiao......"
"Grandpa, that grandpa must live a long life, keep watching me, watch me get married and have children, okay?" Shen Fan was cheeky and coquettish.
Sure enough, Grandpa Shen was amused by her, and nodded again and again and said, "Okay, grandpa still wants to hug his great-grandson!" β
"Then grandpa repaired his shoes and hurried into the house, and I will go and prepare dinner first." It was already noon when Shen Fan arrived in the town from Shenzhou City, and after lunch, he took a car to the village, so it was already afternoon.
"Okay, Ah Qiao should be careful in the kitchen, and be careful with knives and fire." Grandpa Shen still didn't feel at ease.
"Got it, rest assured."
The interior of the ancestral house has been renovated in previous years, with running water and flush toilets, and the earthen stove has been dismantled and replaced with a gas stove. Otherwise, Shen Fan was not sure that he would be able to make a meal.
Grandpa Shen has a good tooth that is very rare at his age, and he used to have no taboos when he ate, but when he thought of it, his stomach was not very good. Shen Fan is still determined to make some dishes that are easy to digest, a fish head tofu soup, an orange-flavored pork ribs, and two vegetables, stir-fried pumpkin and fried fungus with yam.
Grandpa Shen loves to eat oranges, so Shen Fan specially checked the recipe of this orange-flavored pork ribs and bought a manual juicer. Of course, although I am mentally prepared, it is really sadistic to use my hands to squeeze juice. In the end, with the help of his grandfather, he barely squeezed a small bowl of orange juice, but fortunately, the oranges bought by Shen Fan were of good quality, and after putting some freshly cut orange peel, the ribs really had a fresh orange fragrance.
After the pork ribs were stewed crispy and the fish head tofu soup turned milky white, Shen Fan fried two more vegetables, three dishes and one soup, and the grandfather and grandson were satisfied.
"Ah Qiao's craftsmanship is better than your mother's!" Grandpa Shen blinked a little mischievously, "Don't let your mother know, otherwise I'll let you cook in the future." β
"Haha, grandpa, rest assured, I won't rob my mother of the chef's position." Shen Fan also laughed happily.
It's still early to clean up everything, but there is really nothing to pastime in the countryside, and Grandpa Shen is also used to going to bed early, and after watching the news, the grandfather and grandson went back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Fan looked at the book for a while, and then his eyes fell on the scarf placed next to the pillow. She sighed softly, gathered her books, and lay down on the bed.
She recalled her past life and this life, and found that she slowly began to think of Gu Dingheng in her previous life, and more of him was now a teenager, a dazzling boy who appeared in her new life. From the surprise and panic of seeing him at the beginning, to the ease of getting along later, and the gradual familiarity. The recitation of English poems on stage together, the chat after the confession, the jokes during the sports meeting, the side by side in the knowledge competition, the road home together, the exercises asked for advice in the reading room, so many bits and pieces, she and him began to get closer, and she seemed to be slowly lost, even different from the previous look up at work.
She forgot the original intention of saying that she would treat him as just an ordinary classmate, and forgot the beautiful childhood sweetheart around him. Even if Gu Dingheng did not have Chu Hanguang by his side in his previous life, nor did he have a girlfriend or fiancΓ©e, this does not mean that it is impossible for him and Chu Hanguang. Perhaps, his emotional world is something that Wang Anqi doesn't understand?
Shen Fan always thought that she had done a good job and had withdrawn all her thoughts that she shouldn't have, but this gift that couldn't be given gave her a resounding slap in the face. Why did she think she would be different? He never accepts gifts from girls, never reads girls' love letters again, and he is one of these girls.
Right now, put away all your unwillingness.
Shen Zhang, who suffers from gains and losses, is not the self she wants. Work towards the goal, and go to the side with little love and love! A strong ego can make a good life even if you are alone. Finish your studies, do what you want to do, and travel around the world to live a life of wantonness.
When I returned from the countryside, I enrolled in a German class to prepare for studying abroad. I also want to learn various languages and learn more about the world.
Shen Fan went to bed early in the midst of imagining the future, but some people couldn't sleep.
"Why didn't the class representative reply to my message, didn't she go online during the winter vacation?" Zhong Ji opened Q/Q for the Nth time to check the message, but there was still no reply he wanted, "Didn't you promise me to go skating together, I still want to go to the band with the class representative......"
Faced with Zhong Qi's broken thoughts, Gu Dingheng's expression was uncertain.
"Why do you have Shen Zhang's Q/Q?"
"Huh? It's been added a long time ago, don't you know? I am the second friend of the class representative Q/Q, and the only two, and the only one in our Shenda High School. Zhong Qi was triumphant, and then asked, "Ah Ding, do you want to add a class to represent Q/Q?" β
"No, you don't." Gu Dingheng moved his gaze back to the book.
"Okay...... It's a pity that I don't have the mobile phone number of the class representative, otherwise I will kill it directly with a phone call! Even talking doesn't count. The more Zhong Qi thought about it, the more indignant he became, as if he had really made an appointment with Shen Fan to be released at a time. Then he crackled and left a long list of words on Q/Q.
"This year, my parents are coming back for the Chinese New Year, and my freedom is gone. Ah Ding, I can only rely on you when the time comes......"
When Zhong Ji finally left, Gu Dingheng took out his mobile phone and dialed it.
"Wang Zi, it's me, is the address book of our class complete? Have you asked for the number of your classmates who have a mobile phone? Okay, send me an email. β
When Gu Dingheng opened the email to check, he found that the address of Shen Zhang's house was written in the southern urban area of Shenzhou City, and the phone number left was only the landline number. He remembered that she had a cell phone...... Wang Zi's work efficiency is really poor!
Pick up the book again and look at it, this is exactly the Christmas gift given by Shen Fan, Mr. Ji Xianlin's "Ten Years in Germany".
And when Zhong Qi finally remembered that there was still a class address book, he asked Wang Zi for it again, checked the landline phone number of Shen Zhang's house, and then ...... And then there is no more......
Because he was told that Shen Fan had gone back to his hometown, he didn't say when he would come back. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhong Qi's stone head forgot to ask Shen Fan's mobile phone number at all.
Because of the business problems in the factory, the Shen family and the Zhang family both decided to spend the New Year in Shenzhou City, and Shen Fan stayed in the ancestral house until the twenty-eighth year of the New Year, and then she persuaded the eldest uncle and aunt to let her grandfather go to Shenzhou City with her for the New Year. Of course, she knows the facts, at this time, the lobby brother and the lobby sister-in-law are divorcing, and the uncle's family is turned upside down, and she has no heart to pay attention to where Grandpa Shen is going for the New Year. Grandpa Shen didn't want to go, but in the end, he couldn't resist Shen Zhang's various coquettishness.
On the second Spring Festival after being reborn, Shen Fan spent it with his family in Shenzhou City.
