Hearing that Li Yafang was about to get married, Zhang Xuemei took the time to go to the 54 Factory Children's School.

The two of them talked as they walked on the playground.

Zhang Xuemei said to Li Yafang:

"Have you really thought about it? Have you really decided that you want to marry that worker? ”

"I had to do it as a last resort!" Li Yafang sighed, "Since Chen Wenhai is unwilling to marry me, I have no choice but to wronged myself!" However, don't tell others what I said, especially in front of Chen Wenhai, you have to keep your mouth shut for me! I don't want Chen Wenhai to know: I lowered my requirements to marry that ordinary worker! ”

"Why is Chen Wenhai unwilling to marry you? Is it just because you're not pretty enough? Isn't that Zhang Peony not very beautiful? However, Chen Wenhai likes her! ”

"Human feelings are like that! Like someone is often unclear! ”

"Have you ever seen Zhang Peony?"

"Only once. She's the child's mother now! Otherwise, Chen Wenhai will definitely chase her! However, not necessarily! The two of them belong to the kind of tacit friends, although they love each other, but they don't want to say it, they just love each other silently! Chen Wenhai said to me more than once: Zhang Peony loves to laugh very much, and he looks very good when he laughs! For a long time, Chen Wenhai couldn't let go of Zhang Peony, and missed her day and night, so that he couldn't think about tea and dinner and couldn't sleep at night! However, Shen Ruolan didn't understand her son's mind at all, and insisted on asking Chen Wenhai to marry Qiu Mei! Qiu Mei is a rural girl who can't read a single word, how could Chen Wenhai marry her? If you want to blame Wang Zhiyuan and Zhu Zhenhua, if it weren't for these two villains who instigated Shen Ruolan to knead this family business, how could Chen Wenhai be seriously ill! This serious illness almost killed Chen Wenhai! Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I still have a little sympathy for Chen Wenhai! ”

"I'm not like you! I really sympathize with him! That's why I was under great pressure to deal with him, and even took a big risk to ask him to help me out of the blackboard newspaper! As a result, it was used by guys with ulterior motives! They spread rumors that I was Daji! You say, am I a vixen? I am the secretary of the school's Youth League branch and the counselor of the brigade, and I can't even be busy with my own work, so how can I have spare time to seduce Chen Wenhai? ”

"I can understand your situation, you really have a hard life! Women's hearts are often the same! Don't pay too much attention to the gossip! You'd better ignore those stinky men, because they just 'can't eat grapes and say they're sour'! ”

After returning from the 54 Factory Children's School, Zhang Xuemei said to Chen Wenhai:

"Actually, Li Yafang is a good girl!"

Chen Wenhai's eyes widened and he said:

"I didn't say she's a bad girl! What the hell do you mean? ”

"Don't you worry?" Zhang Xuemei smiled, "I mean, I don't have long eyes, but I won't let you marry her!" Isn't she just not beautiful enough? Do you have to be a pretty girl to be worthy of you? ”

"You're really good at telling jokes!" Chen Wenhai couldn't help laughing, "I don't care too much about a girl's appearance!" Isn't Zhang Peony not beautiful enough? But I like her! If it weren't for my mother's obstruction, Zhang Peony would be my daughter-in-law, how could it be her current husband's turn? ”

"You are really unlucky, you like Zhang Peony so much, but you can't marry her, and you are married by someone else!"

"What's even more sad is that I later fell in love with Zhang Huifang and Cao Xiaoyan successively, but they were all beaten by chickens and eggs, and so far I am still alone, living alone in this world!" Speaking of this, Chen Wenhai's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't cry! After a while, Chen Wenhai calmed down his excitement and said to Zhang Xuemei with a smile: "I heard that you are also about to get married, will the two of us be good friends in the future?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll dislike me, a little girl who grew up in a small county!"

"No, no, no!"

"I haven't seen anything big, and I've always felt like I'm not worthy of you! Don't you often say to me: You are from Shanghai, and you want to marry a Shanghai girl! I'm often ashamed of myself! ”

"Don't worry too much, I'm just saying it casually! Actually, you're pretty cute, and it's a blessing to be able to marry a girl like you! Unfortunately I don't have that blessing! ”

The conversation between the two of them soon reached Xie Jihong's ears, and Xie Jihong said to Zhang Xuemei:

"Chen Wenhai is really a good man, you will regret it if you miss him!"

"Actually, I wanted to marry him, but my sisters didn't understand me and said that my ideas were unrealistic! The most infuriating was Qu Ying, who said to me: 'How could Chen Wenhai fall in love with you!' He's just a whim! I have already put the words out, and I have already said to many people: Chen Wenhai is unrequited love! I said to him: 'Don't do things badly, Chen Wenhai is not so easy to mess with!' If you talk such nonsense, Chen Wenhai will hate you for the rest of your life! He said to me, 'It's good to let him go, I just don't like him, I just don't want this kid to take a big bargain!' My eldest niece looks like a fairy, how can she marry a little hooligan on the beach! ’”

"Qu Ying is not afraid of five thunderstorms in the sky when she says this!" Xie Jihong was indignant, "How good Chen Wenhai is!" How did he get into his mouth and become a little hooligan on the beach! Chen Wenhai was already in very bad health, and he was still against Chen Wenhai everywhere, didn't this make Chen Wenhai worse? Xie Jihong pondered for a while, suddenly slapped his thigh, and then said loudly: "I must not sit idly by, I must intervene in this matter, I must stand on Chen Wenhai's side and speak up for him!" ”

"How are you going to help him?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Xie Jihong frowned and said, "I'm very depressed now, I haven't come up with a particularly good idea to deal with Qu Ying!" He's an old fox, and it's not easy to defeat him! Speaking of this, Xie Jihong suddenly changed the topic: "However, I believe that with the deepening of my social experience, I will definitely come up with a trick to subdue him!" ”

"You should have this confidence!"

One afternoon, when the north wind was howling and the snow was falling, Chen Wenhai met Zhang Xuemei in the corridor of the teaching building.

Seeing that her face was full of unhappiness, Chen Wenhai asked her:

"What's wrong with you? Did someone say you again? ”

"Nobody says anything about me! Aren't I fine now? ”

"Shall we go to the office and talk?"

"What are you going to talk about?" Zhang Xuemei's face was immediately covered with a shadow, "Would you like to pay attention to the impact a little?" Now, the two of us are just ordinary colleagues, and you look for me at every turn, so that others can see what others will think? ”

"I'm looking for you to talk about work, let others say whatever they like!"

"You say you're talking about work, but others don't think so, and they want to say that you fall in love during working hours, which affects your work! How do you say? ”

In the evening, Chen Wenhai met Zhang Xuemei in the corridor of the teaching building. At this time, the wind blows harder and the snow falls heavier.

He said to Zhang Xuemei:

"It's so late, and the snow is falling so heavily, why are you still coming to school?"

"I've got a few things to do, so I'm here."

"Where are you going now?"

"Go to the classroom and tutor the students! In addition, I have to have a meeting with a few members! ”

"Will you go to the office later?"

"Of course I'm going, and I'm going to correct my homework!"

"Can you take some time, then? I have something to say to you! ”

Zhang Xuemei originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw Chen Wenhai shivering from the cold, her heart softened again, so she pretended to smile and said to him:

"I'll try to find time, but you have to make a long story short, don't talk about it endlessly, Miss Ben doesn't have so much time to spend with you!"

"Don't worry, I'll make a long story short!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Xuemei walked into the office, and Chen Wenhai hurriedly said to her:

"It's so cold today! Come over and make a fire! ”

Zhang Xuemei walked over, and at this time, the fire was booming. She said to Chen Wenhai:

"You have something to say, I'm so sleepy right now, I really want to go to bed right away!"

"My mother asked someone else to introduce me to a partner, what do you think I should do?"

"Is that still easy? Just talk to her! ”

"But I don't want to talk about it now! A few months ago, the principal said that you were about to get married, but a few months have passed and you are not married! What the hell is going on? ”

"Does this have anything to do with you? Besides, he's talking nonsense, and you really believe it? ”

"Then why did the principal lie to me? I really don't understand why the hell is this! ”

"Maybe the headmaster is doing it for your good! Don't be too desperate and don't have any hope for me! ”

"I just like you! Don't you even object to this? ”

At this moment, Zhao Zhigang came, and Zhang Xuemei hurriedly said to him:

"Come over here and roast the fire!"

So, Zhao Zhigang came over to roast the fire.

He said to Chen Wenhai and Zhang Xuemei:

"It's so touching that you two are coming to work at school so late!"

"I'm not here to work, I'm here to read books." Chen Wenhai hurriedly explained.

"You both have to pay attention to your bodies and don't stay up too late!" Zhao Zhigang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's not too early now, I should go back!" ”

"You go first, Teacher Chen and I still have something to say!" Zhang Xuemei said to him.

Zhao Zhigang called Zhang Xuemei to a place a few meters away from Chen Wenhai, lowered his voice and said to her:

"When are you two going to have a happy event?"

"Next life!" Zhang Xuemei said with a red face.

"How can you wait until the next life? You can't let Mr. Chen like it and be a bachelor for the rest of your life! ”

"He can marry someone else! Why do you have to marry me? You can rest assured, there are so many girls who like him, he won't be a bachelor forever! ”

After Zhao Zhigang left, Zhang Xuemei returned to the stove.

She stabbed the fire with tongs, and then said to Chen Wenhai:

"You just said that you like me, you'd better not say this to others in the future!"

"I have never spoken to anyone except Xie Dongsheng and Hu Zhanyong before! Truly liking someone is something that doesn't go all day long, unless he's a love liar! ”

"Ever since you 'announced' that you love me in the office, it has spread so much that everyone knows that we are a couple, and I can't tell it even if I have a long mouth! I'm so annoyed that the people around me are worrying about my marriage all day! ”

"I'm in exactly the same situation as you, and I'm annoyed too!"

"Speaking from the heart, I really miss the life when I was in the queue as an educated youth, at that time, how simple we were, not as complicated as now!"

"I miss that life as much as you do, it was a time of burning passion!"

"In that remote, poor and backward mountain village, I spent three whole years! I'm afraid I'll never forget it in my life! ”

"Although I have only been in the team for one year, this period of time has made me unforgettable and will be unforgettable! At that time, there were eight intellectual youths, four men and four women, in our tea house, and although there were contradictions between us, but, in general, we got along very well! ”

"At that time, there were four young intellectuals in our production team, all of whom were women. I'm the last one to return to the city! Originally, I could have gone first, but because there was a girl I had a particularly good relationship with her, I couldn't bear to leave her alone, so I resolutely let her go first, and as a result, in the end, I was the only one left! ”

"Your eyes are so good! Not only are you beautiful, but you're also a good-hearted girl! There is a person named Zhang Huilan in our tea field, she is just like you, she is also very beautiful and kind-hearted! ”

"Do you like her?"

"Of course I like her! However, I thought that her petty-bourgeois sentiment was too serious and I didn't dare to have much contact with her! ”

"Are you still in touch?"

"Nope! Maybe she's forgotten about me! ”

"Wouldn't it? Does she like you too? ”

"I thought: she likes me!"

"How nice it would be if you married her then!"

"That's all in the past, we should think about how to live now, what kind of life is the most meaningful life!"

"I don't think as much as you think, I just want to live a peaceful life! After that movement, who among the Chinese does not want to live a peaceful and stable life? ”

After returning to the single dormitory, Chen Wenhai's mood couldn't calm down for a long time!

Speaking from the heart, Chen Wenhai especially likes to be with Zhang Xuemei, because her voice is very good when she speaks, and she looks very good when she laughs, and being with her is simply a kind of life enjoyment! What especially gratified Chen Wenhai is that through this conversation, he has a further understanding and understanding of Zhang Xuemei, and sees her very kind side!

Chen Wenhai thought: Zhang Xuemei is both beautiful and so kind, but the principal wants to oppose the two of us! In order to tear the two of us apart, he actually lied to me that Zhang Xuemei was about to get married, which is really hateful!

Chen Wenhai saw the principal and asked with a smile:

"Didn't you say that Zhang Xuemei was about to marry someone else? But why didn't she admit it herself? ”

"Maybe she's a girl, embarrassed to admit it!"

"What's so embarrassing about that?" Chen Wenhai decided to expose him, "You want her to marry someone else soon!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" The principal deliberately pretended to be confused!

"Do you want me to say this? Aren't you just against me and her? ”

"What are you talking about? Why should I oppose you two? Am I full? The headmaster sneered, "Don't you still understand that she doesn't like you at all?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Chen Wenhai was full of anger, "What is the basis for what you say?" ”

"Of course there is a basis!" The principal triumphantly said to him, "Everyone is talking about your unrequited love, isn't that still a basis?" ”

"This is pure rumor!" Chen Wenhai was even more angry, "You guys are too despicable and shameless!" In order to bring me down and stink, you are so unscrupulous! ”

At this time, Zhang Xiuying and Wang Guifang came. Zhang Xiuying said to Chen Wenhai:

"Come with me, I have something to say to you!"

After coming to the office, Wang Guifang said to Chen Wenhai:

"Why are you arguing with the principal? He opposes the two of you because of prejudice against you and because he is jealous of you! You just need to know it in your heart! ”

"The three of us were still talking about you just now, and we all sympathize with you!" Zhang Xiuying said to Chen Wenhai.

"Which three?" Chen Wenhai asked Zhang Xiuying and Wang Guifang, "Who else is there besides the two of you?" Isn't it Zhang Xuemei? ”

"You guessed it!" Wang Guifang said to him, "Actually, Zhang Xuemei still admires you!" ”

"What does she admire about me?"

"I admire your talent!" Zhang Xiuying said to him, "Zhang Xuemei said: If it weren't for the opposition of her family, she really wanted to ......"

"Don't talk about it anymore!" Chen Wenhai hurriedly interrupted her, "Now, I understand everything!" Actually, Zhang Xuemei still likes me a lot, am I right? ”

"If only you knew it in your heart!" Zhang Xuemei and Wang Guifang both laughed.
