Night fell from the sky, Zhuang Yuncheng returned, and the night wind was even colder, blowing his face as cold as ice.

"How did it take so long?" Yun Yun asked.

"The accounts are very complicated, Zhong Yuqian, this stingy guy, is calculating, and he has to calculate a little bit clearly, I said that I would rather do it simply, I can suffer a loss, but he is still afraid that he will suffer a loss, and he will be careful in his calculations."

"Give." Yun Yun gave him a thermos bottle in his hand, and Zhuang Yuncheng took it and applied it to his face.

"How?" Yun Yun asked, "Actually put it on your face?" ”

"My face is frozen, and I can't open my eyes."

Yun Yun got up, took the thermos over and put it on, walked behind Zhuang Yuncheng, put her hand on his face, and said, "Isn't this better than putting a bottle on your face?" ”

"Much better." Zhuang Yuncheng felt a warmth in his eyes, so he smiled.

Yun Yun rubbed him for two or three minutes, Zhuang Yuncheng's facial muscles stretched, he made a few expressions, and then he didn't feel uncomfortable, so he said, "Okay, uh...... Where's your sister? ”

"Where else to go? In the kitchen, I help to cook the fire, and my sister is always like this, and the family secretly says that she is hot-hearted, and there is no young lady's shelf, which makes me embarrassed. ”

"Don't listen to their nonsense, when is it, what's the young lady's shelf, you're hot-hearted, it's just not on this, I know."

"But they don't like what they talk after all."

"If you care so much, just learn to do it, your sister is called a thrifty housekeeper, you have to learn sooner or later."

Yun Yun hums silently, and then Fluttershy and Lotus come to serve the food, and the weather is cold, so they eat quickly, and when they see that it is early, they make a charcoal fire and put it away, and the three of them sit around and talk about the fire.

"You guys are running out all day, how is the match factory buying equipment?" Yun Yun asked.

"Unsatisfactory," Zhuang Yuncheng said, "the asking price is too high, it's not normal......"

"After all, it is to open a new factory, and they deliberately make it difficult and want to make a profit." Fluttershy says.

Zhuang Yuncheng put his hand on the charcoal fire, stared at the fluttering flames and the blazing core in the center of the charcoal fire, and said in a deep voice: "This is not like doing business anymore, there is too much resistance, I thought that money can be unimpeded, but money can never fill the greed of those people, and it seems that it is not a way to smash it with money, and it will be a long-term loss." ”

"And what do you do?"

"Look at it again, I feel like a capital game, someone is manipulating a set of rules behind it, and I don't understand these rules......" Zhuang Yuncheng thought about it and said to himself, "I have been doing business with Zhong Yuqian for a few months, and I also understand some operating rules, but when it is my turn, I feel quite constrained." ”

Zhuang Die frowned and shook his head and said: "It's different, we don't play the same game as Zhong Yuqian, we understand his set of rules, but now that we have changed the game and changed people, we don't understand." ”

"What do you think?"

"Jin Yu is a veteran in this game, you should ask him." Zhuang Yuncheng said.

"Stains, but Jin Yu is also strange, I haven't figured out what he's doing for so long, he is in contact with people in officialdom all day long, and he is also in contact with foreigners, and he is not like he only ships and buys goods for sale."

"Hey, do you remember that when you said you wanted to set up a factory, he stopped you and advised you not to go this way."

"I remember, but I just thought he thought I was inexperienced and worried that I would suffer, so I only persevered for a while, and he didn't say anything in the end."

"Aren't you at a loss?" Yun Yun said.

"Although it is." Zhuang Yuncheng suddenly said in shock, "But now it seems that it's not just that simple. ”

Fluttershy nods solemnly.

"I haven't asked much about Jin Yu's business, I don't know what he's been busy with during this time, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I just went to see him."

This matter is complicated, Zhuang Yuncheng saw that because of his own troubles, the two sisters were made gloomy, and he couldn't get over it, so he asked Yunyun: "Teacher Wen's birthday today, how are you doing?" ”

"Okay, Mr. Wen is leading a group of young people, and he seems to be a few years younger, and he is very energetic."

"That's good, Mr. Wen has such great ideals and ambitions, but he doesn't want to be a few years younger and fight for the cause of education for a few more years."

Yun Yun thought of Chen Rundong again, they were about the same age as her brother, and she couldn't help but ask Zhuang Yuncheng: "Brother, what is your ideal?" ”

"Ideal ......" Zhuang Yuncheng's tactful gaze swept across the two sisters, and said with a smile: "Earn money and support your family?" ”

"Money?" Yun Yun asked, "Just revolving around money?" Doesn't it say that money is something outside of the body? ”

"I'm just an ordinary layman, not for money, why? Are you stupid at reading or do you think it's easy to make money? Zhuang Yuncheng smiled and said, "You open your mouth to 'money?'" He said so disdainfully, and he had the ability to earn it himself. ”

"Not really." Yun Yun hurriedly denied it, muttered for a long time, and said, "I just don't think this is ideal." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng thought for a moment and said, "I understand, first, I hope you have a good home; Second, we hope that the war will end at an early date, the regime will be reunified, and the people in need will be able to live a good life. ”

After speaking, he unconsciously thought: "If these two are ideals, I can hardly see any signs of realization." ”

After Yun Yun listened, that heart still fell to the ground, not to mention disappointment or joy, she just recognized herself more clearly, and she saw the boundary between the ideal and reality more clearly.

The fiery charcoal gradually turned to ashes, and time passed, and the little side hall grew warmer, and the rising heat and carbon filled the room, and they felt drowsy, "Go to sleep." Zhuang Yuncheng got up, his head was dizzy, he paused, shook his head violently, and said: "I heard that carbon gas is poisonous and can suffocate people to death, it seems that the warmer it is, the more deadly." ”

Yun Yun's face was especially red, she stood shaking her head, her legs and feet were also weak, "......dizzy," she shouted.

"Not really." Zhuang Die hurriedly opened the window, and a gust of cold wind blew in, it was simply a collision between the world of ice and the world of fire, Yun Yun shivered, and took a few breaths of cold air, slightly better.

Zhuang Yuncheng extinguished the remaining charcoal fire, and then several people fell asleep.

The next day, Zhuang Yuncheng stayed at home for a long time, playing chess with Fluttershy in the morning, Yun Yun was bored and had to study, because there was a college entrance exam after the beginning of the year, and if she wanted to go to the girls' school attached to the Normal School, it would take a lot of effort, so she made up her mind to work hard to get the exam, thinking of changing the environment, but also changing the status quo of being rejected by her classmates, after all, the school is better, and the people are different.

In the last game of chess, there was eleven o'clock, Zhuang Yuncheng was going to go to Xiao Jinyu's house for lunch after playing this game, and the meal may be the only time he was at home, but the chess game was stale, and it was difficult to solve, and I am afraid it would take some time to play.

Jin Ni stayed at home, I don't know if Xiao Jinyu will come back for dinner at noon, she is idle anyway, so she knits some clothes, shoes and socks for her daughter and Xiao Jinyu, she is knitting by the window of the back room, and suddenly hears the sound of rustling, thinking that it may be that he is back, put down the work in his hand and go to see, when he sees that it is really him, only his gloomy brow makes Jin Ni not happy, although this is the norm, but every time it makes her anxious.

Jin Ni still smiled and welcomed him into the house, the little girl also brought hot tea, Xiao Jinyu took a sip and left it behind.

"Come, try the shoes I made for you and see if they fit." Jin Ni said.

"I have shoes to wear, why should you do it."

Jin Ni glanced at the foreign leather shoes he was wearing, and said, "The weather is so cold, although you wear this outside, it is more comfortable and warm to wear cotton at home." ”

Xiao Jinyu followed her to the room, sat on the kang, Jin Ni squatted down to take off the foreign leather shoes for him, put the unfinished cotton shoes on his feet, and asked, "Is it appropriate?" ”

Xiao Jinyu moved his toes, not loose or tight, felt very good, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

Seeing him smile, Jin Ni was finally relieved and said, "I can finish it tonight, and you can wear it then." ”

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, I'm not in a hurry to wear it."

Jin Ni took off the cotton shoes and was putting leather shoes on him, Xiao Jinyu closed his feet, kicked off the shoes on the other foot, and turned around to lie on the kang.

"Is it okay to go to bed when you want to sleep?" Jin Ni asked.

"I don't sleep, I just rest, tired." Xiao Jinyu lay down, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Jin Ni stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead and said softly, "You are also frowning when you rest, you are too worried." ”

Xiao Jinyu still closed his eyes and didn't say a word, only breathing. After a while, Xiao Jinyu almost fell asleep, half-asleep and half-awake, he was awakened by a hazy dream, he was completely sleepy, and suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Jin Ni sitting next to him by the kang and weaving shoes, he suddenly felt so warm.

"Don't knit it." Xiao Jinyu held her hand.

Jin Ni put it down, Xiao Jinyu pulled her to lie down too, Jin Ni lay sideways in the crook of his arm, Xiao Jinyu looked sideways at her face, he had never looked at her face so closely and carefully, he saw a light mole on Jin Ni's eyebrows, a few freckles the size of broken rice on both sides of the bridge of his nose, and subtle wrinkles at the corners of his eyes......

Jin Ni had never seen him look at himself so seriously, and he felt embarrassed, so he turned his head and said, "I don't go out at home, I don't put on makeup seriously, isn't it ugly?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Jinyu felt cute, and Yun Yun's appearance appeared in his mind, when he was "teasing" her, her angry and shy appearance lingered in his mind, this was his rare fun, but Jin Ni was not Yun Yun, Xiao Jinyu still felt cute, he didn't know whether Jin Ni was changing or he was changing, Jin Ni, who had been sleeping with him for more than two years, made himself feel more and more like his heart was racing.

He held her face in his hand, turned to face himself, and put one foot on Jin Ni's waist, Jin Ni had never seen him so gentle and affectionate, and he was also intoxicated at this time, so he could only blush, his eyes closed, his heart beating wildly, and panting...... Meek as a sheep, Xiao Jinyu stroked her sideburns, stared at her delicate and intoxicated face, and kissed her as if she had made up her mind......

At this time, the meal was ready, the young lady cried and called her mother, Jin Ni pushed, Xiao Jinyu let go of her, and the two of them got up, both blushing.
