Shu Wan woke up in the middle of the night, moved his body, and sat up from the bed. The person next to him also woke up, his eyes were foggy, and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, you can sleep." Shu Wan said.

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom; Lying back in bed, unable to sleep for half a day.

"Daughter-in-law, are you alright?" Qi Tong asked again.

Shu Wan put his hand on Qi Tong's waist and said, "You say, after the two of us get married, what will you become?" ”

"I'm still me, and I'm not going to change."

"I heard that men treat women as treasures before marriage, the 'treasure' of babies, and after marriage, they treat women as protectors and nannies' 'treasures'."

"Don't worry, I won't."

"You sleep. I squint, maybe I can fall asleep in a daze. ”

Qi Tong reached out and grabbed Shu Wan's back, patted it gently, humming a lullaby in his mouth: "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby......"

Listening to Qi Tong's soft, indistinct hum, Shu Wan's thoughts drifted to the time of childhood. On a summer evening, the family takes a dip under a big tree in front of their house. Grandma hugged her eldest cousin and hummed a lullaby softly. I sat on a small chair next to me, sleepy. It's so close, you can touch your grandmother's hand when you stretch it out. But it's so far away, so far away that you can't touch it. She once pretended to accidentally touch her grandmother's hand, but her grandmother quickly retracted her hand and patted and patted and patted her eldest cousin on the back. My grandmother would hug and coax my eldest cousin every night, and help him chase away mosquitoes with a fan, but she never hugged herself once.

Not far away, my grandfather was playing mahjong with other old men, and my uncle and aunt were playing mahjong with their neighbors. From time to time, laughter reaches the eardrums.

Everybody lives freely and happily. And he is like a superfluous person, but he is indeed a superfluous person.

Xu Jing's mother came over, saw Shu Wan, and said, "Ah, this child is sleepy." Don't fall, take it to bed and go to sleep. ”

Shu Wan woke up suddenly and said hurriedly: "I'm not sleepy yet." ”

She was afraid to be alone in the room, dark, scared. I felt that a bloody monster would come out at any time and swallow myself alive.

"Ah, look, what do the mosquitoes do to the children?" Xu Jing's mother exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Shu Wan's body was covered with red envelopes, all of which were bitten by mosquitoes, and then caught by himself. Her skin is already white and tender, and she looks particularly conspicuous.

Xu Jing's mother's tone was full of distress, and she said, "Silly child, it's very itchy, right?" You gotta say it. Don't you say, your grandmother is very busy every day, how can you notice? ”

She lowered her body, carefully wiped the flower water she brought with her on Shu Wan's exposed arms and legs, and said: "There are many trees and many mosquitoes in the mountains, so you have to wipe some flower water when you go out at night." ”

Shu Wan will never forget this cold and comfortable taste. This is the taste of the neighbor's love for oneself. She, grateful.

From that day on, every summer night out, my aunt would throw herself a bottle of toilet water and let her apply it herself.

Later, she grew up. She was still afraid of being alone in a room, but she had learned to overcome her fears. She no longer went downstairs to join in the fun, and when she was so scared, she covered her head with a quilt. She didn't dare to turn on the light to sleep, because she would be found by her aunt and scolded her, saying that she would spend money on light. She comforted herself that it was Shu Qifang's wish to be able to sleep in a room by herself. Ms. Shu said she and her sisters slept on a small bed. Every morning I wake up and it's either this hand eating that or the toe gnawing on this. It is common for the quilt to be robbed in the middle of the night and people to be kicked under the bed.

Thinking about it, she reached out and grabbed Qi Tong's arm, pillowed, and slowly fell asleep.

…………

Yao Wen sat in Shu Wan's office for a while, and after chatting about business, she sat still and didn't leave, her expression was like a shy little girl, and said, "Minister Shu, let me ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Shu Wan asked.

"That, Ding Hangxuan, why don't you have a girlfriend yet?"

"I heard that he wants to start a business first and then start a family."

"Not for any other reason?"

"It shouldn't be GAY. He's still young, so don't worry. ”

"Oh."

"You have a crush on him?"

"Huh?"

"Ahh looks so demonic, anyone who sees it is excited. ”

"Uh...... Minister Shu, do you think he is good-looking? ”

"Nonsense."

"Isn't that a lot of girls who like him?"

"What do you think?"

"Oh." Yao Wen said weakly and stood up.

"Don't you like mature and steady men?" Shu Wan looked at her, smiling rather than smiling.

"I like people who are handsome and have a lot of work ability. Minister Shu, you haven't seen him look like when he works hard, he is super charming. ”

"You like him so much, I can help you date him."

"No, no, no. I'd better take my time. ”

"Hmm. He likes to be pretty. You dress up nicely and he'll notice you. Your foundation is still very good. ”

"Thank you—Minister Shu for your encouragement."

Yao Wen pushed the door and went out, Shu Wan pursed her lips and smiled. If Yao Wen and Ding Hangxuan get married, it will be a beautiful thing, can I blackmail Ding Sanya for this?

After work, Qi Tong came to pick up Shu Wan, and Ren Tiangang was still sitting in the car.

"Hello sister-in-law!" Ren Tiangang said obediently, with a bright smile on his face.

Shu Wan nodded. She hadn't seen him in a while.

"I'm just going on a trip to get married, so I'm going to invite us to dinner today." Qi Tong explained.

"Traveling to get married, can you save a red envelope?" Shu Wan joked.

Ren Tiangang raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, the two of you haven't had a wedding yet." You look at it. ”

"It's different. We're going to have a wedding. You're going to eat and drink when the time comes, but you don't do anything, right? Shu Wan said.

Ren Tiangang slapped his thigh and said, "There is a way." I'll be back after your wedding. I don't eat or drink, and I certainly don't have to be courteous, right? ”

Everyone laughs.

Shu Wan asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"Early tomorrow morning. Come back the day before you get married. Ren Tiangang replied.

Shu Wan understood. In this way, it is to avoid participating in Guo Roumei's wedding, deliberately.

I found a porridge city to eat.

Ren Tiangang said: "Sister-in-law, is your grandfather very happy?" ”

"Why?" Shu Wan asked.

"You got Qi Tong, and your brother got Guo Roumei. The ancestral tomb of the Shu family has good feng shui. Ren Tiangang said.

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, eternal truth." Shu Wan replied.

She observed Ren Tiangang's expression and said, "My grandfather is not very happy that my brother will marry Guo Roumei, and I think that girl should not really like my brother." ”

"Heh" Ren Tiangang sneered and said, "When did their generation talk about true love?" Aren't they just about the door? ”

"My brother likes Guo Roumei a lot. Every time I talk about her, I am full of love and pride. Shu Wan said.

"Of course. He's got shit luck. Ren Tiangang said.

Qi Tong diverted the topic and said, "Where are you going to play?" ”

"I don't know. It was arranged by Momo. Ren Tiangang said.

He picked up his glass, poured himself a drink, and drank several glasses. He looked at Qi Tong pitifully and said, "Brother, don't you really want to have a few drinks with me?" ”

"Your sister-in-law is sensitive to smells right now. If I drank, she wouldn't let me go to bed at night. Qi Tong replied.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to leave tomorrow, you let my brother drink two drinks with me." I promise, don't let him get drunk. Ren Tiangang looked at Shu Wan and said.

Shu Wan smiled and said, "Qi Tong, you can drink two cups with Tiangang." Tiangang, getting married is a happy thing. Be happy. ”

Ren Tiangang smiled bitterly and said, "You don't understand. Dong Momo - I think she and I should divorce in a few years. She's too tired. I was annoyed when I looked at it. ”

"And you're still married?" Shu Wan said dissatisfied.

"I'm going to get married anyway. She waited for me, and she got her wish. Ren Tiangang disagreed.

"Tiangang, you're too child's play." Qi Tong frowned.

"What then? I'd like to be serious. Don't talk about it, drink. Brother and sister-in-law, I envy you for meeting each other and recognizing each other. I wish you all eternal happiness and good health! Ren Tiangang raised his glass.

A bottle of liquor, most of which went into Ren Tiangang's stomach. Ren Tiangang was still very sober and not a little drunk. He said, "This is how it is in this life. Isn't it, sister-in-law? ”

Shu Wan looked at the man who was not yet thirty years old. He usually looks like he doesn't care about anything, and in his heart, he must have hidden too many things.

"You say, I'm a person who hasn't finished junior high school, normal people, don't you feel at ease to hand over your daughter to me?" Ren Tiangang didn't wait for Shu Wan to answer, and continued.

He sighed heavily and said, "So be it." I think I'm so ridiculous. ”

Shu Wan didn't know what words of comfort to say. Encourage Ren Tiangang to be with Guo Roumei? Life is not just about firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Guo Roumei and Ren Tiangang are together, it is better to be with Shu Ting.

At least, now, Guo Roumei can sleep peacefully instead of fighting against the whole family.

"I hate them. Hate more than ever. Ren Tiangang said.

Shu Wan is wondering who "they" are.

Ren Tiangang said: "If they don't get divorced, maybe I won't be tired of studying." I will also go to school normally, and I can confidently pursue the good girl I like. ”

Shu Wan looked at the water cup in his hand and said, "Tiangang, don't complain about the sky." You're fine now. You didn't go the wrong way, you ran a thriving seafood restaurant with your own efforts. The seafood in your store is the best I've ever tasted, and there is no one. Your grandpa will be proud of you. Women, but the icing on the cake. There are too many cases of fate and inseparability, and love is unattainable. It has nothing to do with you personally. That's fate. The so-called life is a natural law. I don't say whose life is good and whose life is bad, but it works like this. Anyone will meet, and whoever meets will be in a hurry. ”

She took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, I speak now, how much can you listen." But I still want to say. I have people who I love but can't get, and you have the same brother. And Dong Momo, she is very good. I think there are a lot of boys who like her very much and love her but can't get it. She dares to love and hate, likes to laugh, and is willing to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire for you. I hope you will cherish her well. When a woman marries, she is reincarnated for the second time. Parents don't have a choice, and sometimes men don't have a choice. But you were chosen by her, and she was full of joy. Don't live up to her affection. You will be happy. I think that when you get old, you will have a trace of regret in your heart, but you will not regret this decision. It's the best decision you can make at the moment. It's good for everyone. ”
