Early in the morning, Mrs. Zhou was wearing pajamas, her hair was scattered, and she was sitting in front of the dresser in a daze. Master Zhou sat on the bed and looked at her strangely,

"Shulan, Shulan?" He called her, and it took several times to pull Mrs. Zhou's mind back.

"Huh? Well? ”

"What's wrong with you? The soul is not guarded. ”

"Ahem----" Mrs. Zhou sighed, shook her head, frowned, and said, "There are some things I really don't understand, you say, does Ruojun have a heart for Ryan?" ”

Master Zhou "smashed" his mouth, glanced at his wife, smiled and said, "You have been talking about this for several days." He is a husband and wife, what is the mouth-to-mouth medicine...... And they're living together now, maybe, and soon we'll have grandchildren to hug. ”

"Yo, I still need to say this, I'm also anxious to hold my grandson. It's strange to say, even the doctor said that the speed of Ryan's recovery this time was a miracle, and he recovered from such a serious illness in just a few days. I really don't know what demon method this Mei Ruojun used. ”

"Demon law?" Master Zhou's eyes widened and he looked at Mrs. Zhou strangely.

"I heard Cuiliu say that she really hasn't been out of the door of Juyuan in the past few days, and she is also thoughtful in serving Ryan, will she have any conspiracy?"

"Conspiracy?!" Master Zhou became more and more unable to understand Mrs. Zhou's words, and interrupted her: "Hey, Shulan, what's wrong with you?" Before, I was worried that she would dislike Ryan, and then I was worried that Ryan's illness would hurt people, and he couldn't get a round house, but now that he is in love and living together, you start to worry about Ruojun having a conspiracy, are you too worried? ”

Mrs. Zhou glanced at her ignorant husband on the bed, and shook her head helplessly, what she was worried about was that Mei Ruojun looked too calm and too peaceful, she really never took a step out of the gate of the chrysanthemum garden, and did not secretly go to see Ruikang, and after Ruikang experienced a beating, it seemed that he had changed a person, every day was to go to and from school, there was no intersection between the two at all, and they didn't even meet again. This radical change between the two of them made Mrs. Zhou very unsure, and she always felt that everything was too smooth and easy.

"Well, what about that bastard? It's almost gone. Master Zhou asked.

"Oh, you're worried about him now? How can you not feel distressed when you start that day? looks like he won't give up if he doesn't kill him. Mrs. Zhou gave her husband a complaining look.

"Ahem, it's a miracle that I wasn't by him. Why do you think I gave birth to such an ignorant son? He really ran away from the marriage by himself! It's really a shame, what a terrible thing the words of the person sent by the Cheng family are! Say that we are a family of poetry, that we have no way to teach our children, and that we have no faith in our words...... Ahem, I really wanted to find a hole to drill into. Master Zhou frowned again after thinking about it, feeling tightness in his chest.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly comforted him and said: "Forget it, I will retreat, and it will be like that if I am scolded a few words." Maybe the two of them don't have that fate. ”

"Alas, he told people in Cheng's house that he had another sweetheart, and he said that he would never marry that woman in his life, what is this? If you have a sweetheart, why don't you get married? There must be something wrong with that woman. No, I'll have to find some time to ask him. ”

"Master, it's not easy to have a few days at home, you just let everyone be quiet and quiet, although Ruikang is frizzy and ignorant, but he still does things in a measured way and won't mess around. You can rest assured. I'll take care of that. ”

Master Zhou thought about it, after such a turmoil, everyone in the family needed some time to buffer, sighed, and asked:

"Is his injury better?" Master Zhou asked with concern.

"It's good that Ruikang is strong, otherwise you would have been killed by you like that, it's okay, I went to school yesterday. Master, you should take good care of it, and only after you have taken care of your body can you hold your grandson. ”

"Ahem, yes, Ruikang will withdraw from this marriage, and I don't know when I will get married, now I can only count on Ruian and Ruojun to add Ding to the Zhou family as soon as possible." Master Zhou sighed helplessly.

In the afternoon chrysanthemum garden, there is a kind of serenity of isolation, the sun shines obliquely through the glass window, warm, Ryan sits by the window, lying on the desk and painting a picture of a lady, he used to rarely paint people, the paintings are mostly still lifes with flowers, but after this recovery, his mood is much more cheerful, and he began to paint landscapes, people and small animals.

Ruojun sat across from him and braided Xunmei in the sun. Xun Mei was a little afraid of Ryan's appearance at first, but after a long time, Ryan had a good temperament, so she was not afraid.

Ruojun tied two small braids for Xunmei, tied two bows with red satin on them, and dotted a red dot with rouge in the middle of her forehead, which is even more cute with pink makeup.

I took a mirror and looked at her and asked, "Do you like it or not?" ”

Xun Mei looked at herself in the mirror, very satisfied, and said in a milky voice: "I like it, thank you sister." ”

"Ryan, do you think Xun Meipiao is pretty?" Ruojun hugged Xunmei on his lap and asked with a smile.

"Good looking. Like you. Ryan looked up and smiled, his eyes full of tenderness, and a thought came to his heart that made him feel excited and shy, yes, he hoped that Xunmi was their child, or rather, he hoped that they could also have a beautiful and lovely daughter like Xunmei. Thinking of this, a heat rose in his heart, and he blushed and lowered his head.

"By the way, what about your brother?" Ruojun asked Xunmei.

"He thinks I'm stupid and doesn't play with me."

"Huh? How come, where are we stupid? You go and call him and we'll play the game. ”

"He's at the big brother's, he won't come. What are they talking about...... Three People's Principles...... I didn't understand, so he called me stupid. Xun Mei said with some grievances.

Big brother, Ruikang, cough, Ruojun sighed secretly, dispelled the idea of going to Shu Zhi, any person, thing, or thing related to Ruikang, she must avoid, the farther away the better.

"Sister, shall we go hide and seek?" Xun Mei shook Ruojun's arm.

Ruojun looked at the warm sunlight outside the window, she hadn't been out of the chrysanthemum garden for ten days, and she looked up at Ryan.

Ryan smiled, "Go...... Right, I'm ...... I draw ...... After these few strokes...... Only...... I'm coming to you."

Ruojun thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "No, I won't go out." Xunmei, you go and play with Cuiliu. She was afraid that meeting Ruikang would be another turmoil, so she would rather hide in the chrysanthemum garden and enjoy the tranquility. Xun Mei nodded, took the rag doll and ran out.

Ruojun walked to Ryan's side and looked at his painting, under a flowery begonia tree, a beautiful woman with a delicate figure, fluttering dress, holding a book in her right hand, slim and elegant, the jade hand was about to reach out to pick flowers, her demeanor was charming, and the corners of her face and mouth were very similar to Ruojun, very beautiful.

Ruojun smiled slightly and said: "Under the shadow of the flowers in your spare time, the begonias are enchanting."

Ryan smiled sideways, changed a brush, moistened it on the inkstone, and lifted the pen to spread the two lines of poetry in cursive in the upper left corner of the drawing.

"Your drawing is wonderful, Ryan, you're really good." She praised it sincerely.

There was a confident glint in his eyes, she admired him, maybe she liked him too, wouldn't she? He didn't know, but he saw her staring at his paintings, with a beautiful smile on the corners of her mouth, her eyes shining, she was standing beside him, the fragrance on her body entered his nose along the air, making him a little confused, he wanted to hug her, but he was still inferior, he was afraid that she would reject him, he was afraid that she would scare her away, he was afraid that she would be hurt, and in praise of her, he finally just returned a modest and even somewhat humble smile and lowered his head.

//

"Big brother! There are two typos in your editorial, and I circled them for you. Shu Zhi sat on the side of Ruikang's desk, holding a pencil seriously, and was working as a little secretary for Ruikang.

Ruikang stopped his pen, looked at it, and said "um", he didn't expect Shu Zhi to be so young, but the number of words he knew was no longer inferior to that of high school students, so he lowered his head and continued to write.

"Big brother, isn't it time for you to shave?" Shu Zhi said with a frown.

"Huh?" He didn't care, and continued to write, he didn't care about many things now, or he didn't dare to care. There are some things that can only be avoided and not touched. He got a job as a teaching assistant and became busier, so he immersed himself in his studies and work every day, except for eating and sleeping, trying to keep his head in a state of numbness, like a robot, doing what he should do, without joy, anger and sorrow, without knowing that he was living every day.

Shu Zhi sighed and shook his head.

"Brother! Brother! Big brother! Xun Mei happily ran in, raising the small wreath on her wrist.

"Ouch, why are you here again? Big brother is at work, don't make trouble. Shu Zhi said, got down from the chair, stepped forward and pulled his sister aside.

"Who gave you this wreath? It's so beautiful. ”

"Cuiliu and I picked a lot of flowers in the back garden, and the wreath that my eldest sister made for me is beautiful?" She asked with a smile in the blink of a pair of large, clear and bright eyes.

"Beautiful!"

Big sister, Ruojun, his heart stinged, and he couldn't help but look up at the garland on Xunmei's wrist, and suddenly, a bunch of joys, sorrows, and sorrows churned in his chest, he suppressed his emotions for so many days, and he anesthetized his consciousness for so many days, and all of a sudden came back.

Weaving garlands? Oh, she really lived a carefree life, a concubine, for so many days, she hadn't seen him, hadn't asked him, hadn't inquired about him, and didn't have any words. He thought that she knew that she was beaten for quitting her family, and she would feel sorry for him, and she would be anxious to find a chance to come and see him, or ask Shu Zhi and Xun Mei to pass a note, or a word. But no, nothing...... Looking forward to it day by day, disappointed day by day, the wounds on the body gradually turned into the wounds on the heart.

How could she be so cruel, so cold, she reacted as if nothing had ever happened between the two of them, and when he thought of it, he felt like a sharp knife in his heart, and the ruthless woman was holding the hilt of the knife, constantly turning.

Yes! How stupid he is, hehe, he sneered at himself twice, yes, she has already had a round house with her brother Ryan, the newlywed Yan'er, with a lot of affection, how could she still think of herself as a fool?

He had already heard from the mouths of his subordinates how Ruojun took care of his brother Ryan undressed, how he fed medicine mouth-to-mouth, how careful and thoughtful, and how he was in love...... Every time he listened, he wanted to slap himself, he wanted to cry, he wanted to laugh, he wanted to roar, and he wanted to run away. He felt like he was a complete fool.

His face suddenly became sad, suddenly angry, suddenly laughed twice, and suddenly looked like he was about to cry, which made Shu Zhi and Xun Mei look very confused.

Suddenly Ruikang stood up, grabbed the jacket on the back of the chair, and walked out the door, he needed wine, he needed alcohol, he needed alcohol.

He didn't know how long he had been drinking in the tavern, and he didn't know how he had drunk with the other two drunkards he didn't know, but he had a good amount of alcohol, although he was dizzy, but listening to the other two drunkards talking nonsense, he thought it was quite funny.

"I ...... I'm telling you...... Lao Tzu, I once drank eight catties in one go...... I still had a happy night in the 'Spring Heung Temple'......"

", I'm telling you...... Do you know who beat the fat man Chen in the last game? That's me! Do you know who I am? ”

"I'm the senior brother of Yanzi Li San! Hey......"

"Cut, you are the senior brother of Yanzi Li San, and I am your father! ……..”

"Hey....... good boy, dare to take advantage of the master...... Ye is your father......"

"I'm your daddy......"

"Grandson, I'm your father......"

The two of them suddenly quarreled over whose father was who, and Ruikang couldn't help but laugh when he looked at them.

One of them had a rosacea nose, shook the wine jug in his hand, looked at Zhou Ruikang with drunken eyes, patted the drinking friend who was already drunk and couldn't open his eyes, and said with a big tongue: "Hey, this kid laughs at us ......"

The little squinting drinking friend lay on the table, raised his eyes to look at Ruikang, laughed, pointed at him and said, "It's for women......

"The hero sees the same ......thing," the rosacea nose nodded and said, holding the wine jug and trying to pour wine into his mouth, but he was so drunk that he couldn't even find his own mouth, and the wine spilled his face, and he didn't care, and said seriously: "Alas, the brother told you, this thing is a woman...... Untouchable...... If you touch it, you ...... Sad! He said as if he was very experienced, and he patted his heart with his hand as if he were bitter and hateful.

Ruikang raised his head and drank a few sips, and he finally got a little drunk, and said in a daze: "Yes! What oaths are all fart...... Come, brother, let's drink! Don't want a woman! To hell with women! ”

The three of them clinked glasses like this, one would talk nonsense, one would sigh, one would cry, one would laugh, and the restaurant would close until it was blasted out by the store. The three of them had already been drunk, and they walked loudly laughing and screaming all the way down the street.

Regardless of the southeast, northwest, and north, he walked around for a while, and suddenly a strong light hit Ruikang's face, Ruikang subconsciously raised his hand to block, and couldn't see who the other party was, the other party turned the headlights to a weak light, and Ruikang saw clearly that it was a bright new black and bright car parked in front of him. After a while, the car door opened, and out of the car came a tall woman, wearing a white evening gown, wearing a fashionable white bell hat with a small pink flower on the hat and white high heels.

Walking up to Ruikang, he shouted with wide eyes and some surprise: "Zhou Ruikang!" Is it really you? How did you get drunk like this? ”

Ruikang drank in a daze, his brain was like paste, he squinted at her for a long time, and he didn't recognize who she was, he just felt that her face was familiar.

The woman shook her head and said, "I see you're drunk, I'm Xu Manlin." Remembered? ”

Xu Manlin? Xu Manlin? Ruikang tried his best to recall the name, ah, by the way, the iceberg beauty, Xu Manlin from the Department of Foreign Languages, he remembered.

"Oh yes, I remember." Ruikang pressed his temples with his thumb and middle finger vigorously, trying to sober himself up.

"Why are you so drunk? It's midnight now. Let's go, I'll take you home. ”

"No!" He suddenly sobered up halfway, waved his hand, and said categorically, he doesn't want to go back to the home of the suffocating, sad, and bitter people, the chrysanthemum garden of the red luan's happy tent, and the cold and sad Yongmei Garden, no, he doesn't want to go back, he can't stand it.

"That'...... Then you can't spend the night hanging out on the street with two drunks. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, let's go to my house first." ”

"This ......"

"What's this? Big man, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you're afraid I'll eat you! Xu Manlin stepped forward and pulled away the hand that was resting his nose on Ruikang's shoulder, helped him himself, and walked towards the car.

He was stuffed into the car by her, had a headache, and as soon as he sat down, he leaned back in the chair and fell asleep.

Rosacea and Little Squint looked at the speeding car, and said with a drunken and stupid smile: "This kid is really lucky!" "Hope is not a peach blossom catastrophe...... Hahahaha" The two continued to staggered forward, disappearing into the night.
