Cheng Yan didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he felt a splitting headache and a hot body. This feeling is too familiar to her, how many times she has experienced it since she was a child, she has a fever, even if she is in a coma, she knows that she has a fever. When she regained some consciousness, she opened her eyes to the familiar ceiling, and listened to the sounds around her, and it was very quiet. She couldn't help but feel at a loss, and wanted to open her mouth to call her mother, but she felt that her throat was very dry and she couldn't even make a sound.

The headache hit, she fell asleep again, and by the time she woke up again, it was already afternoon. She was pressed with two quilts on her body, and she was sweating, the headache was lighter, and her body was not so uncomfortable, so Cheng Yan lifted the quilt with great difficulty and sat up.

You can hear the whirring of the north wind outside, but you can't hear a human voice. Cheng Yan felt that his eyes were dark, and after getting used to it for a while, he turned over and got out of bed. She walked out with her shoes on, and there was no one in the kitchen, and when she entered the living room, she heard a noise coming from her parents' bedroom.

Cheng Yan had a fever for two days, and she had long forgotten what kind of quarrel she had that night, and when she pushed open the door, she saw her brother playing a game, and asked with a frown, "Mom?" ”

Cheng Lin heard the voice, turned his head to look at her, his expression was a little awkward, and said, "Go out." ”

Cheng Yan let out an "oh" and turned around to leave, but Cheng Lin suddenly stood up, pointed to the game console in his hand, and stammered and asked, "Do you want to play?" ”

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at him, usually this game console is like a baby in his eyes, how could he be willing to let himself move, why did he take the initiative to let himself play now? But to be honest, she really wanted to play, and seeing that Cheng Lin's expression didn't look like a joke, she nodded.

"Then you can play." Cheng Lin stepped out of the way and made room for her.

Cheng Yan felt a little flattered, she sat down on the stool, and she didn't know how to operate. Cheng Lin stretched his neck and watched, teaching her how to play. When he was ready to play, Cheng Yan felt very interesting, but his head still hurt a lot, and he felt nauseous after looking at things for a long time, so he put down the handle and said, "I'm dizzy, don't play, you can play." ”

"Mom cooked porridge in the pot, you go eat it." Cheng Lin said, his expression still stiff and awkward. Cheng Yan stood up and walked outside, still feeling strange in his heart.

After casually eating two mouthfuls of porridge and filling his stomach, Cheng Yan felt that he had some strength in his body. She went back to bed and lay down again, and within two minutes, there was a knock on the door outside, and the sound of stomping her feet was heard. It was the mother who came back, and she hurriedly closed her eyes, hid half of her face in the quilt, and pretended to be asleep.

"Xiaolin?" He Tu shouted loudly, "Has your sister woken up?" ”

"I woke up and ate too." Cheng Lin replied sullenly. Cheng Yan heard his mother come into the house, put something on the table, stretched out his hand and pushed her twice, and shouted, "Get up, Xiao Yan, get up and take medicine." ”

Cheng Yan couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so he opened his eyes and glanced at his mother, and saw that his mother was neatly dressed, and her nose and cheeks were red from the cold. She stood up, took the pill and swallowed it, and lay on the bed and looked at her mother steadily. He didn't even look at her, turned around and went out again.

Cheng Yan gradually remembered the incident of the previous night, it seemed that her mother was still angry with her about this, she couldn't help but sigh and close her eyes.

Not long after this incident, Cheng Jiaye's happy day was set, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which means the New Year and the New Year. Cheng Jiaye naturally has to have some temper, but how can he make trouble, as long as he puts on a set of filial piety, he can't speak after reading a lot of books, and later, he can only obediently listen to his parents and accept this family affair that he is unwilling to accept. A week before getting married, he went to the place where he often met Feng Xin as usual. In the small teahouse, Feng Xin sat steadily, his eyes fixed on the book in front of him, like a born lotus, ignoring the things in his ears.

Cheng Jiaye stood at the door and looked at her for a long time. She didn't know about this yet, and she hadn't figured out how to tell her, but when he saw her again, his heart ached fiercely, no matter what, he was reluctant to leave her, and he was reluctant to let her suffer any harm, but he couldn't help himself, although he was full of anger, but he was helpless.

Feng Xin was tired of reading, and when he raised his hand to hold the teacup, he saw Cheng Jiaye standing at the door out of the corner of his eye. She turned her head, looked at him in surprise, and asked with a smile, "Why are you standing there?" Come in and sit. ”

Cheng Jiaye walked in. He sat down opposite Feng Xin, barely squeezed out a smile, glanced at the book in her hand, and asked, "Why are you so fascinated by it?" ”

Feng Xin ignored his words, she looked at the look on Cheng Jiahua's face, and she figured out a little bit in her heart. She had heard about his family's affairs, but she had always believed that he could handle it, so she never asked. But seeing him like this at this time, she also guessed a few points, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, but she was open-minded by nature and saw the matter of feelings more openly, and this loss lasted for two seconds, and immediately she laughed and asked, "What?" Didn't discuss it with your family? ”

Cheng Jiaye glanced at her, knowing that she was so smart, he couldn't hide it from her if he wanted to, so he lowered his head and nodded slightly.

Feng Xin sighed, closed the book, and said, "I can understand, after all, my parents are the oldest. If I make it difficult for you with them, then you don't have to worry about me, you-" Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Jiaye, who raised his head to look at her, his eyes lit up, and said excitedly: "Why don't we elope!" ”

Feng Xin frowned, smiled bitterly, and said, "Why bother? ”

"We eloped, we don't have to care about them, we can stay together every day, read books together, live together, you clean up the housework at home, I make money outside to support the family, how good it is!" Cheng Jiaye said as he spoke, as if he had seen the picture, and his whole face was shining.

"Kaye!" Feng Xin's expression became serious, "How can you think like that? ”

Cheng Jiaye's fantasy was interrupted by her words, and he couldn't help but look at her suspiciously.

"We ...... If you elope, you can have a good time. Speaking of the word "elopement", Feng Xin seemed to be very embarrassed, and he didn't really want to say it, "But have you ever thought that your parents, your family, are they going to make them unhappy for the sake of our happiness?" Even if you are happy for a while, will you still feel at ease when you think of them later? What's more, I don't want to do something like that, I'm not that kind of woman. Feng Xin turned his face away, not wanting Cheng Jiaye to see the expression on his face.

Cheng Jiaye's eyes dimmed, but immediately, he reached out and grabbed Feng Xin's hand, and said hurriedly: "They have already betrothed me to marry, I don't want to marry her, I want to marry you!" ”

Feng Xin smiled bitterly, pulled out his hand, and said, "You want to marry me, but they don't allow it at all, right?" ”

Cheng Jiaye looked at Feng Xin's dark eyes and couldn't help but nodded.

"I said that if I had a hard time with your parents, you didn't have to worry about me." Feng Xin picked up the book and stood up, "What's more, I don't want you to be so embarrassed, and I don't want to put myself in such a difficult situation." Gaye, I like you, I like you very much, but that doesn't stop me from making any choices about reality. ”

Cheng Jiaye hurriedly stood up, took her hand, and asked in horror, "Xiaoxin, what do you mean by this?" What choices are you going to make? ”

"You know it all in your heart, don't you?" Feng Xin looked at him, her eyes were full of tears, but not a drop fell, she broke his hand, she turned around, and left resolutely.

After that day, Cheng Jiaye didn't know how he survived, his head was muddy, his life was muddy, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant. He also went to Feng Xin's house to look for her, but Feng Xin didn't want to come out, the door of her house was closed tightly and never opened. In the end, Feng Xin's parents really couldn't stand it, and they also knew Cheng Jiaye's child, knowing that he had a good character, and his feelings for Feng Xin were also true, but his family affairs had already been decided, and the two of them were so entangled with each other, it would not be the same. They support their daughter, although they see that their daughter is uncomfortable, they feel uncomfortable, and they want to persuade a few times, but the daughter stubbornly says that she is okay and does not need to be persuaded. As a parent, I felt that I had nowhere to go, and I saw Cheng Jiaye stay outside his door for several days, and the stubble had grown several layers, and the old couple couldn't bear it anymore, so they opened the door and let him come in and sit, intending to guide him, so that the strength in his heart to help came out.

Cheng Jiaye was happy when he saw the door open, thinking that Feng Xin was willing to see him, but when he saw that it was Feng Xin's parents, his smile disappeared all of a sudden. Feng Xin's parents saw it in their eyes, but they didn't say anything, let him sit in the house, poured a cup of tea, and said, "Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin has been very uncomfortable for the past two days, it's just-"

"She's uncomfortable too?" Cheng Jiaye hurriedly stood up and looked around hurriedly, "What about her?" ”

"Kaye, you sit down first." Feng Xin's father waved his hand at him, Cheng Jiaye sat down reluctantly, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, I really want to see her, I am willing to work harder, maybe my parents will really change their minds!" ”

"We have also heard about your family, to be honest, your parents are unwilling, and we can't force you, but it's like our daughter can't get married, and she is in a hurry to marry your family." Feng Xin's mother said, glanced at her husband, and her expression became a little embarrassed, "What's more, don't be angry when I say this, Jiaye, we all know what happened to your eldest brother back then, and we also have a general understanding of your parents' temper, since your family affairs have been decided, forget about Xiaoxin, don't be obsessed anymore." ”

Cheng Jiaye was about to cry in a hurry, he grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly, and said with a crying voice: "But, I can't live without Xiaoxin, I can't live without her, I, I feel that this day is boring!" ”

"No one is without anyone who can't survive, it's just a matter of time." Feng Xin's father said, "You have also read a lot of books, and you understand this truth, that is, you are drowning in it now and can't get out, and after a while, you will forget it." ”

"No, I can't forget, I'm miserable." Cheng Jiaye buried his head in the palm of his hand, biting his lip tightly, his face full of pain.

Feng Xin's parents both sighed, but they didn't know what to say, the three of them sat stiffly for a while, waiting to let Cheng Jiaye go back, but they couldn't bear it, I don't know how long, there was a sudden sound outside the door, and a woman in her twenties was standing at the door, poking her head out and looking in.

"You are?" Feng Xin's mother asked hurriedly.

"I'm Cheng Jiaye's sister, I'm here to find my brother." The woman said, saw Cheng Jiaye at a glance, hurriedly walked in and grabbed his hand, pulled him outside, and said as she walked, "Dad asked me to come to you, tomorrow is a happy day, what are you doing here?" ”

Feng Xin's parents have been interested in the process a few times, but that was when she was a teenager, and she was admitted to other places in the past few years, and she only came back twice a year, and she grew up a lot, so she couldn't recognize it. Seeing Cheng Jiayi dragging Cheng Jiaye out of the door, Cheng Jiaye was still reluctantly looking at his home, they sighed and shook their heads.

Walking outside the door, Cheng Jiayi suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Uncle and aunt, is Sister Xiaoxin okay?" ”

"It's fine."

"That's good." Cheng Jiayi bit his lip, turned his head, and continued to drag Cheng Jiaye back.

Cheng Jiaye was dazed, dragged to the house by Cheng Jiayi, he faintly heard his father scolding himself a few words, what he scolded but didn't know, he was locked in his own room, there were people locked outside, the night was getting thicker, the lights were not turned on in the house, it was dark, he was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling blankly, and all kinds of expressions flashed in front of him.

It took him a long time before he closed his eyes and cried out in pain.

Cheng Yan and Cheng Lin were taken by their mother to attend the wedding of the third uncle.

They had never participated in such a happy event, and they felt that it was very novel, and they could not stay idle for a moment, running from here to there, and from there to here. In addition, when my father came back, I was happy to give them two pocket money, which was really the happiest day.

He helped out in the kitchen and didn't care about them. Cheng Lin didn't know where to go, Cheng Yan followed Cheng Siwen and Cheng Siyi, and the three of them mixed in the crowd and talked to each other.

"What about the third uncle? Why didn't I see him? Cheng Yan stretched his neck, looked around the crowd, and asked.

"I don't know." Cheng Siwen shook his head and bit a piece of candy in his mouth. Cheng Siyi smiled and said mysteriously: "I know." She pointed to the small room on the second floor, "Locked in the room." ”

"How do you know?" Cheng Yan asked.

"I saw it last night, and my grandfather scolded him."

"Let's go up and have a look!"

As if they had suddenly found something worth doing, the three of them exchanged glances with each other and ran through the crowd towards the second floor. The door was locked, and the three of them leaned on the door and studied for a long time, not knowing how to open the lock. Seeing that the door couldn't be opened, Cheng Siyi knocked on the door and shouted, "Third uncle? Third uncle? ”

There was silence inside, as if no one was there.

The three of them were about to knock on the door and shout together, but suddenly a voice came from behind them, Mu Shi walked over with a bunch of keys, and reproached slightly: "What are you three cramming here for?" Come on, get out of the way. ”

Cheng Yan hurriedly got out of the way, and when she saw her grandmother open the door, she poked her head out and looked inside, the third uncle was lying on the bed, with his eyes closed, and he hadn't gotten up yet.

"I didn't expect the third uncle to lie in bed." She thought to herself and pursed her lips.

Mu Shi walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and dragged Cheng Jiaye to get up while nagging. Cheng Jiaye only opened his eyes and looked at her blankly, then left her at her mercy, dressed, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and took him out, Mu Shi seemed to be taking care of a baby who was not yet sensible. Cheng Yan and his two younger sisters looked at them curiously, covered their mouths and smiled, followed behind their grandmother and third uncle, and came to their grandfather's bedroom.

Cheng Tielong was buttoning his coat, he was wearing a brand-new Mao suit today, his beard was also clean-shaven, and the whole person looked very energetic. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and saw the tired and decadent look on his youngest son's face, and couldn't help frowning, and reprimanded: "Look what you have become!" ”

Cheng Jiaye didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't even raise his eyes.

Cheng Tielong glared at him twice, and said to Mu Shi: "Hurry up and dress him, I'm going to pick up the bride soon." ”

"So fast?" Mu Shi looked at him in surprise, what time was it.

Cheng Tielong only said "um", stood up and walked out. Mu Shi didn't say anything more, sighed, glanced at his son, and beckoned Jiayi to help him dress.

Cheng Tielong seemed to be particularly concerned about this day, and specially hired a camera company, planning to record the whole wedding process. When he went to pick up his relatives, he sat in the passenger seat of the car with great energy, as if he was the protagonist today. And Cheng Jiaye sat in the back seat dejectedly, except for the suit on his body and the groom's name tag pinned to his chest, at first glance, it really couldn't be seen that he was marrying a daughter-in-law. A group of cars and people were walking on the road, so it was not lively, and many people came to like candy. Finally arrived at the door of the bride's house, Cheng Tielong got off the station, straightened his neckline, turned around and called Cheng Jiaye, signaling him to knock on the door.

Cheng Jiaye looked up at his father blankly, he was still immersed in pain, his mind was full of Feng Xin's expression, and he didn't hear his father's words. Cheng Tielong waited for a few seconds, and when he saw that his son was indifferent, he couldn't help but be annoyed, reached out and dragged him, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You give me a good start!" So many people! ”

Cheng Jiaye noticed the situation around him, he looked down at himself, and saw that he was dressed in new clothes, and there was a red festive flower paper pinned to his chest, and his heart was pinched, and he hurt fiercely. He really wanted to leave everything and go home, cry for a while, and beg Feng Xin again, maybe she could change her mind. But the laughter around him reminded him of what the occasion was, and his upbringing did not allow him to do so, coupled with his father's stern eyes staring at him all the time, made him flustered, and he couldn't help but reach out and knock on the door.

There wasn't even a door inside, and as soon as there was a knock, the door was opened.

There was a commotion all around, and people became even more excited.

Cheng Yan followed at the back of the crowd, and he really couldn't see the situation in front of him, but fortunately, Cheng Siyi was clever and pulled his two sisters to the front of the crowd, just when the door was opened, several women stood inside and looked at the crowd in front of them with a smile. Cheng Yan looked at the expressions on everyone's faces curiously, and saw that the third uncle was drooping his face, and there was no festive expression at all, but his grandfather was very happy. She followed her grandfather's gaze and saw a middle-aged woman with a light bearing standing inside the door, she was different from the women around her, and it was easy to notice at a glance in the crowd. She also looked at her grandfather with a smile, the way they looked at each other was different from looking at others, but what was the difference, Cheng Yan couldn't say. She was looking, and everyone around her crowded forward, and she was also squeezed through the door, and separated from her two sisters.

"Swain? Siyi? Cheng Yan called out loudly.

When she finally saw her two younger sisters, she hurried to them, holding their hands and refusing to let go. At this time, the crowd made a louder noise, and when I turned my head to look, out of the middle of the main room came a bride dressed in red, with a big red hijab on her head, walking cautiously with the support of others.

"That's the bride." Cheng Siyi pointed at her and shouted.

Cheng Yan nodded, and also looked carefully, but the red hijab was covered, and he couldn't see the bride's appearance. She turned her gaze to the third uncle on the side again, and seeing that the third uncle still lost his soul, she held the bride's arm under the pull of her grandfather, and the two slowly walked towards the door together.

The two families were not far apart, the car drove very slowly, dressed up for festivity, pulling the groom and the bride towards the house slowly, and they walked behind, laughing and talking. Cheng Yan's attention was attracted by the middle-aged woman from time to time, and he couldn't help but ask Cheng Siyi, "Who is that woman?" ”

Cheng Siyi took a look, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”

Although Cheng Yan was curious, she didn't feel anything strange, and soon, her attention was attracted by something else, and she ran around like crazy with her two younger sisters. It was lively all day, and when it was almost dusk, the talents in the courtyard gradually dispersed. The bride and groom had toasted and had been sent into the cave room, where several young men were huddled together, ready with a series of bad ideas to trouble the bride and groom. Cheng Yan also wanted to squeeze in to watch, but they kicked him out, saying that children couldn't watch it. Cheng Yan pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, glanced at the third uncle and the new third aunt through the crowd, and saw that the third uncle was still listless, but the third aunt was full of shame, and the two of them sat together, constantly teased by the people next to them.

"This new third aunt is not good-looking, what do you think?" Cheng Yan said to his two younger sisters.

Cheng Siwen didn't say anything, but Cheng Siyi snorted and nodded, "I also think that my mother and your mother are much better looking than her." ”

Cheng Yan waited for Hetu to finish his work, and then came to Hedi's side and asked, "When are we going back?" ”

He Tu had been busy all day, and her waist was about to break, so she sat down with her waist pounded and said, "Wait a minute." Then he asked, "Have you eaten?" Have you eaten enough? What about your brother? ”

Cheng Yan nodded and said, "I'm full, I don't know where Xiaolin went, I've been with Siwen and Siyi, and I haven't watched." ”

He Tu sighed, turned his head to Fang He, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Look, my little son, he is crazy like something, and he can't control it." ”

Fang He smiled and said, "Then you have at least a son." ”

He Tu wanted to say something, but her sleeve was pulled by Cheng Yan, she turned around, and saw Cheng Yan pointing into the distance, so she followed her daughter's gaze, and saw her father-in-law standing with a woman, they were holding hands with each other, and they were talking about something.

"Huh?" He Tu frowned and looked closely.

Fang He's gaze was also attracted, she squinted her eyes, suddenly sneered, and lowered her head.

He Tu looked back at her and asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at the shamelessness of the world." Fang He said thoughtlessly, sneered again, and was silent.

He was sensitive to something, but he couldn't tell what it was. She then looked back at her father-in-law and the woman, and couldn't help but feel that this scene was a little familiar, and the expressions on their faces were clearly the expressions on their faces when they met Zheng Xi!
