Chapter 303: Coming Home
When Sister-in-law Lin saw her, she smiled on her face, and her expression looked more and more kind.
"I thought I was mistaken, why did you suddenly appear here? It's been a long time since you've been back, where have you been all these years? ”
The middle-aged woman looked at Bai Qianqian, who had grown into a slim white in front of her, and her eyes showed a look of surprise, but she was full of relief at the same time.
Bai Qianqian looked at Sister-in-law Lin, who she hadn't seen for many years, and couldn't help but think of the times when the two of them were neighbors before, although those old days were long and dull, they were still very warm and happy with Sister-in-law Lin.
There was a look of reminiscence on her face, and then she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Lin, a lot has happened over the years, and there have been many places, but fortunately, it has settled down now, and everything is fine now." ”
She didn't tell Sister-in-law Lin specifically what had happened over the years, how she had gone around and around over the years, it was all her business, and there was no need to tell others about her misery.
Anyway, she is happy now, and it is enough for her to share her happiness with others.
Sister-in-law Lin knew that she didn't want to say it, but since she didn't say it, Sister-in-law Lin didn't ask, and only said a few words again and again: "Okay, it's good now." ”
It's just that the unspoken words have turned into countless moves and sighs from the eyes.
Seeing the man standing next to Bai Qianqian, Sister-in-law Lin looked at her carefully and said, "Could it be that this is your husband?" ”
Bai Qianqian nodded, a red cloud flew up her cheeks, and she looked a little shy.
Hearing this answer, even though Sister-in-law Lin had guessed in her heart before, but when she heard Bai Qianqian's own confirmation, Sister-in-law Lin couldn't help but be happy for her now.
This man is not an ordinary character at first glance, he is handsome and magnificent, even if Sister-in-law Lin has never seen any big shots, she knows that Li Cheng is the legendary big man.
Sister-in-law Lin praised without hesitation: "It's really amazing, at first glance, it is a great achievement, this young man, he will definitely have a bright future in the future, the two of them are so good, the golden boy and jade girl are really enviable!" ”
Li Cheng looked at Bai Qianqian beside him, with a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
He didn't like to deal with others, and this kind of innocuous compliment was not worth mentioning to him.
What's more, this kind of village woman?
But Sister-in-law Lin is different, not because she is different from others, but because she is a good person to Bai Qianqian.
Looking at the way the two get along, you know that Sister-in-law Lin must have treated Bai Qianqian much better than ordinary people treated her.
Otherwise, she would not have been so happy after so many years, and she would have been so happy to meet again.
Bai Qianqian smiled embarrassedly, looking at the already late sky, she didn't want to bother anymore, and said with a smile: "It's so late, we won't bother anymore, I'm passing by here today, and I'll definitely visit next time." ”
Hearing that Bai Qianqian was about to leave, Sister-in-law Lin showed a reluctant look on her face.
Some regretful retention: "Do you have to leave today?" I finally met you, stay a few more days, it just so happens that I still have a vacant room here, it is enough for the two of you to live, just take it as a good time to accompany me for a few days, Sister-in-law Lin likes to be lively the most. ”
Bai Qianqian was a little hesitant, but Li Cheng also said on the side: "Since you want to stay, let's stay, staying for a few days is just right for me to get familiar with the environment in which you grew up." ”
Bai Qianqian sighed and agreed.
"In that case, well."
Saying that, Sister-in-law Lin welcomed the two of them in very happily.
She originally wanted to have a good chat with Bai Qianqian to catch up with the old days, but it was already late after all.
Considering that the young couple of newlyweds Yan'er, no one wants to be disturbed, and she will only affect people's intimacy here, so Sister-in-law Lin went out very interestingly.
Before leaving, he also glanced at Bai Qianqian and Li Cheng, and wished the two of them an early birth of a noble son.
Even if you don't say much about such a blessing, everyone understands what it implies.
Bai Qianqian's face turned red immediately, and she lowered her head very embarrassedly, not daring to say a word.
When Sister-in-law Lin went out, Li Cheng hugged the woman and said, "Did you hear it, Sister-in-law Lin asked us to give birth to a noble son early, so do we have to take action?" ”
At this time, the door had just been closed, and the man's voice was most likely heard by Sister-in-law Lin.
Almost the moment these words were spoken, Bai Qianqian hurriedly covered the man's mouth.
Li Cheng said with some puzzlement: "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”
The woman was angry and annoyed.
"Be careful to let Sister-in-law Lin listen, it's embarrassing."
Looking at the woman's red and hot face, Li Cheng couldn't help laughing.
grabbed Bai Qianqian's waist and said, "Don't worry, she has already gone away, and I am teasing you." ”
Although he did want her very much, he was not in someone else's house.
Not to mention whether this is good or not, it is not polite, but it is too easy to be interrupted in other people's homes.
Maybe it was because she returned to her previous home, or maybe she was really tired these days, Bai Qianqian fell asleep as soon as she lay down, sleeping soundly and peacefully.
The man kissed her lightly on the forehead, looking at the woman's sleeping face and feeling at peace in her heart.
The next day, Bai Qianqian took Li Cheng to her alma mater.
Nothing has changed in school or years ago.
It's like when I was in school, but it hasn't changed much, except for the areas that have been expanded.
As soon as she entered the school, Bai Qianqian instantly felt as if she had come to life, as if she had returned to the age when she was in school, and her mood was mixed at first, but after staying in school for a while, she began to become bright and happy.
The school always seems to have this ability, to bring back forgotten memories and bring people back to that era.
The state of mind that has been precipitated has become like a child who has not been deeply involved in the world at this moment, and the impetuousness of this world has nothing to do with him, leaving only simple and natural, happy and happy.
Bai Qianqian walked around the school a few times, went to the playground again, and saw the long-dusted memory of an office from a distance, and suddenly woke up.
In the past time when she went to school, because of her poor health and young age, her family background was not good, and her whole person was very old, and she never had new clothes, which made her feel a little inferior and introverted.
Although her grades are very good, there are not many people who really play well with her, and there are not many people who are good to her.
After all, the other people around her, in addition to their family background, are not as good as her in many aspects.
So this has aroused the envy and jealousy of many people, especially some girls, and it is precisely because of this that there will be many people who bully her.
And among those people back then, very few people could be good to her, and it was unlikely that anyone would take the initiative to stand up and help her.
But Chen Hua is one of them, Chen Hua is her Chinese teacher and her homeroom teacher.
If it weren't for this person, she didn't know what she would be bullied into.
It is even very likely that she will drop out of school because she was bullied too hard, which is highly likely.
Speaking of which, she hasn't seen Chen Hua for many years, and she doesn't know if Teacher Chen is still in this school?
Even in this school, do you still use that office? Still teaching here?
Thinking of this, Bai Qianqian's mind couldn't help but appear a middle-aged man sitting at his desk grading homework.
The man's white shirt had been washed very thinly, his black suit pants had turned a little gray from fading, the pair of leather shoes had just been worn for I don't know how many years, and he always had a pen pinned to his chest, but even so, under such poor conditions, he was always clean, always spotless, as open as his heart.
Bai Qianqian couldn't help but miss the days when she went to school, and she missed the warmth she got.
Li Cheng saw that the woman had been wandering for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking, and her eyes seemed to recall how long ago she had happened.
He said softly, "What are you thinking?" ”
The woman didn't speak, but after a while, as if she had made a decision, she suddenly showed a bright smile to Li Cheng, looked into the man's eyes, and said word by word:
"I decided to take you to meet him."
The man was puzzled, and he didn't know who the woman was referring to?
But thinking that since he is the person who can make Bai Qianqian so excited, he must be a very important person.
He didn't refuse, and agreed: "Okay." ”
Bai Qianqian took the man's hand and walked all the way to the familiar location of the office.
When they approached, they found that the door to the office was not closed, and that there was someone in the office.
A middle-aged man with gray hair and about fifty years old was sitting at his desk and grading his homework dedicatedly.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qianqian's face instantly became a little pale, she was a little incredulous, covered her mouth, and her eyes were full of tears in an instant.
With this thin back and resolute body, who is Teacher Chen if she is not her?
She never imagined that he was actually here, let alone that he had been in this school for thirty years.
Although Chen Huacang has aged a lot and her hair is gray, Bai Qianqian still recognizes him at a glance, and that man is something she will never forget in her life.
Her eyes were red, and tears were running down the corners of her eyes.
The man held Bai Qianqian in his arms, patted her gently on the back, and comforted the woman who was crying very sadly.
The man didn't say a word to make her not sad, he knew that the most comforting thing for Bai Qianqian at this time was not those so-called words, but a hug, a shoulder, and everything was already satisfied.
That's what she needs most at this moment.
Bai Qianqian was crying in the man's arms, even though she had tried not to make a sound, not wanting to disturb Chen Hua in the office, but her low choking still disturbed the people in the office who were correcting their homework.
"Who's out there? Isn't school already over? Why don't you go home yet? ”
Chen Hua's slightly tired voice came from the office, followed by the sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor.
He walked out, and when he heard Chen Hua's familiar scolding, Bai Qianqian's memory rushed even harder.
This is the impression of Teacher Chen Hua, which has not changed at all.
However, there was no situation outside the door as Cheng Hua imagined, there were no naughty students who didn't go home, and some only had a familiar and unfamiliar face.
That familiar face, very familiar, familiar many years ago.
And the face at the end was also unfamiliar, and that body bearing alone had already made Chen Hua feel bright.
There is a saying that a coarse cloth wraps his career, and he has poetry and books in his belly, but even if this man doesn't look at whether he really has poetry and books in his belly, just by looking at this glance, Chen Hua is very sure that this man is by no means a character here, at least not a person who can appear and live here.
And this man is likely to be a big man from somewhere.
Otherwise, ordinary people will never have such a bearing, which Chen Hua is full of affirmation.
And the woman who came with her, that familiar face, even after many years, has been the same as back then, but Chen Hua can still vaguely recognize the little girl from that mold.
