As soon as Chen Wenhai walked into the Wuyan shopping mall, he was met by a young woman and a little girl.

The young woman asked:

"You're Chen Wenhai, right?"

"That's right! You are ......"

"Why don't you even know me? I'm Zhang Peony! ”

"I didn't expect to see you here! I saw you so familiar just now, and I couldn't remember what your name was! We haven't seen each other in seven or eight years, and I'm going to find you! Chen Wenhai glanced at the little girl beside Zhang Peony, "She's your daughter, right?" ”

"Yes."

"What's her name? How old is this year? ”

"Her name is Chen Shanshan, and she is only 4 years old this year." Zhang Mudan pointed at Chen Wenhai, and then said to his daughter, "Call uncle!" ”

"Hello uncle!" Chen Shanshan called out sweetly.

"That's good!" Chen Wenhai hurriedly praised.

"Not long ago, your mother went to my brother's house. Your mother told me: You found a partner, what is Li Yafang. When are you two getting married? ”

"I haven't thought about it yet! I won't necessarily marry her! ”

"What's the matter, you don't think she's pretty?"

"It's not!" After a pause, Chen Wenhai asked Zhang Peony:

"How are you now? Life is still comfortable, right? ”

"It's okay!" Zhang Peony glanced at Chen Wenhai, and then asked with a smile:

"How have you lived in the last few years?"

"I first went to the countryside to join the queue, then I went to the factory as a worker, then I went to university, and now, I am a teacher in a children's school in the Second Automobile." Chen Wenhai said affectionately, "I think back then, we came here from Shanghai together, on the same ship, on the same train, and on the same car!" We spent three unforgettable days and three nights on the trip! ”

"You were only 15 years old!"

"You were 17 years old! You're two years older than me, I should call you sister!" In the three years since you came here, you've been coming to my house a lot! If it weren't for my mother's nonsense, you would have been more and more diligent when you went to my house! Although you went to my house less often, I often met you on the road! Every time I meet you, you have a smile on your face! Speaking from the heart, I love to see you laugh! It's a pity that my family moved to Junxian later, and I can't see your smile anymore! I can't believe that we can meet you here after a long absence! Chen Wenhai looked at Zhang Peony affectionately, "In the past seven or eight years, have you missed me?" ”

"Why don't you want to?" Zhang Peony said affectionately, "In the past seven or eight years, I have been looking forward to you writing to me, and even hoping that you can come to see me!" ”

"I wanted to write to you, but I heard that you were married, so I dismissed the idea!" Chen Wenhai said depressedly, "Besides, in the past seven or eight years, I have encountered many things on the road of life that I did not expect, and I don't have the heart to write to you at all!" Especially when I was in college, I got seriously ill and almost died, and until now, my body has not fully recovered! I'm still having a hard time right now! You didn't expect any of this, did you? ”

"I really didn't expect that! However, you survived by all means! After a while, Zhang Peony continued, "I heard: You are in love with Zhang Xuemei!" However, the two of you often have awkward arguments, what the hell is going on? ”

"I can't say a word or two!"

"Now, there's a lot of rumors out there about the two of you!"

"Can you believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it! You are so loyal and honest, how can you become so bad all of a sudden? ”

"That's all a rumor they made! Now that there is freedom of speech, some people are unscrupulously slandering others! ”

"My master said: This is not surprising at all, because our country has just begun to carry out reform and opening up, and the law is still very imperfect, which gives some people an opportunity to take advantage of! With the deepening of reform and opening up, the situation will gradually get better! ”

Actually, I am also at fault, because I am often confused and hesitant due to the influence of wrong ideas in society! This situation has a lot to do with my physical condition. ”

"I don't understand! Can you be specific? ”

"I fell seriously ill when I was in college, and although I didn't die, I left a sequelae: I couldn't read books for a long time, I couldn't think about problems for a long time, otherwise, I would have a splitting headache! As a result, I rarely read books and think very little about problems now! If you read fewer books, your ability to resist erroneous trends of thought will be weakened. There is less thinking about problems, and the ability to distinguish between right and wrong is relatively weakened! I often suffer from this! This is the fundamental reason why my nervous breakdown has not healed for a long time! I still suffer from insomnia and as a result, I often languish! In such a situation, how can I teach the book well? I don't teach well, my parents have a lot of opinions, and my colleagues look down on me! Zhang Xuemei often has trouble with me, isn't it just because I can't teach me well? I love her so much, but she often looks down on me! In order not to let others see the jokes, I often made compromises and took the initiative to reconcile with her, but she didn't understand at all and mistook my behavior for inferiority, so she looked down on me even more! I'm going crazy with her! Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about the latest: Not long ago, Hu Zhanyong from our school returned to Tianjin, Zhang Xuemei even went to see him off, and after sending him away, he began to ignore me again! If it had been someone else, he would have been to death! ”

"From this point of view, there is still a lack of communication and understanding between the two of you! You should talk to her often! ”

She didn't believe what I said, thinking I was making it up to get her! Sometimes she gets impatient when I talk too much, and she doesn't even see me at all! It shows that she doesn't love me at all! ”

"It seems that you still know it in your heart, not like some people say! I often hear people say that you are unrequited, that you are hot with a shaved head, and even that you are ......"

"They even called me a scoundrel, a mad dog and a hooligan, right?"

"So you know it all?"

"These curses have already reached my ears! If it were you, would you still be alive today? I'm afraid I've already gone to see Lord Yama! ”

"You're so thoughtful, I admire you!"

"What's the use of you admiring me? You're not my wife! ”

"It turns out that I want to be your wife, but your mother is not happy, what can I do?"

"I'm most annoyed with my mother, I'm messing around with my marriage all day long, and I'm about to be angry with her!" Chen Wenhai became more and more angry the more he spoke, "In the past, the two of us were good, but my mother didn't like it and said a lot of things that shouldn't be said!" I thought: the reason why you married someone else and didn't marry me is because of my mother's trouble! ”

"If only you could understand!" Zhang Peony sighed, "It's too late to say anything now!" ”

"I've heard that you husband and wife often quarrel and get divorced, is that true?"

"I lacked an emotional foundation when I was in a relationship with him, and he also knew that I liked you!"

"But, both of you have children now!"

"I'm so glad to see you today! If you have time to go to my house to sit down, your school is not far from our 51st factory! ”

"I will definitely go! I'm afraid that Shanshan and her father won't be happy! ”

"What if he's not happy? I wish I could divorce him now! ”

Zhang Xiuying saw Zhang Xuemei on the road, and she asked Zhang Xuemei:

"I heard that the two of you are having trouble again, what the hell is going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm against him writing to me."

"That's because he likes you! That's not a bad thing! ”

"Then you shouldn't have written me so many letters! My mom thought we were both ......."

"What is it already?"

"That's it!" Zhang Xuemei blushed shamefully, "Actually, the two of us haven't developed to that point yet!" Li Lihua told me everything! I didn't expect Chen Wenhai to be that kind of person at all! ”

"Is all the information Li Lihua has true?"

"Of course it's true! It's all provided by Chen Wenhai's classmates, will there be any leave? ”

"Perhaps, these are just superficial appearances!" Zhang Xiuying hurriedly shook her head, "Will Chen Wenhai be like the kind of person they say he is?" You should trust your eyes and judgment! ”

At this time, Wang Guifang came, and she said to Zhang Xuemei:

"I know Chen Wenhai, he can't be that kind of person at all!"

"So, am I wrong to blame Chen Wenhai?"

"Chen Wenhai loves you so much, it's too much for you to treat him like that!" Wang Guifang was extremely angry, "Do you know how uncomfortable you treated him like that?!" Fortunately, he thought about it, if he had changed to someone else, he would have been angry with you a long time ago! It's not that I'm talking about you, you don't cherish his feelings for you too much! ”

"If I were you, I would have married him a long time ago!" Zhang Xiuying said.

Zhang Xuemei lowered her head embarrassedly!
