Xiao Shuyun's understanding of Wang Shuzhen is indeed limited, and when she finished talking about a few short experiences, it came to an abrupt end.

Li Mengmeng seemed unfinished: "Have you finished speaking?" ”

Xiao Shuyun nodded: "Well, that's all I know. ”

"Alas, I want to know more about her deeds, such as her love with Brother Cheng and how to educate her children and other family matters."

Xiao Shuyun flashed her eyes: "It's not difficult for you to know more, let's ask Brother Cheng when you see him." ”

"Well, as soon as I meet him, I will talk about me and Brother Xiaoguang, and when we see him again, there should be a new topic. It's a pity that he went far away, and he won't see him for a while. ”

Xiao Shuyun's heart moved: "Mengmeng, I want to remind you a few words, when you want to know about Shuzhen's situation, you have to grasp the proportions." ”

Li Mengmeng blinked her big confused eyes: "Why?" ”

Because he has just lost Shuzhen, the haze in his heart has not yet dissipated. You're afraid you'll have no intention of revealing his new scars. ”

When Li Mengmeng heard that it made sense, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Yes, when we meet next time, he will definitely not have the same attitude as before." What am I going to do? ”

Xiao Shuyun pondered: "Can you approach his new girlfriend?" ”

Li Mengmeng was blindfolded for a while: "His new girlfriend? ”

"It's the girl that Shuzhen arranged for Brother Cheng."

Li Mengmeng suddenly woke up: "Yes, listening to Brother Xiaoguang, that girl is still a student of Shuzhen, and she is also an astronomical worker." ”

"Well, she definitely knows everything about Shuzhen's situation."

Li Mengmeng no longer spoke, but thought silently...

Besides, in Shangjiang, Cheng Xuedong settled his daughter, and then he wanted to take Liu Yan to his own battlefield - Qianxi.

The night before leaving, Xiaowei fell asleep early, but Liu Yan and Cheng Xuedong were not sleepy, and they sat in the living room and communicated.

Cheng Xuedong finally understood from her mouth what his deceased wife had endured during this long time, and when he thought of the pain and suffering endured by his deceased wife, he burst into tears.

Liu Yan tearfully persuaded: "Teacher Cheng... You must take care of yourself, Sister Shuzhen has a spirit in the sky... It's sad to see you like this... It's going to be unsteady..."

Cheng Xuedong said gloomily: "I'm different from you, Shuzhen is accompanied by you in the most difficult moments, you can say that there are no regrets, but what about me?" What have I done for her? This debt is enough to make me regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"Nope! You don't owe her anything! Liu Yan said emotionally, "You have fulfilled a dream for Sister Shuzhen, this is the greatest consolation for her... And she saw you on her deathbed... You can smile at Jiuquan..."

Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but be very moved when he listened to the comfort of the choked voice in front of him, and couldn't help but pity: "Yan'er, you haven't gone out of your heart yet, but you still have to comfort me, it's really hard for you." ”

"Teacher Cheng... I think you're so sad... So I'm sad..."

Cheng Xuedong stared at her with deep eyes, and read the gold-like quality from her flower-like appearance, which seemed to have the shadow of Wang Shuzhen back then.

"Yan'er, shall we discuss a matter?"

Liu Yan rolled her crystal eyes: "If there is anything, you can just say it." ”

"I won't be sad from now on, and you shouldn't be sad, you must put away your tears. As you said, Sook-jin is watching us from heaven. ”

Liu Yan nodded again and again: "Well, I listen to you." ”

Cheng Xuedong suddenly approached her and reached out to wipe the tears on her cheeks himself.

Liu Yan froze, as if an electric current was rolling through her body, making her numb, and letting the other party's fingers soothe her beautiful cheeks.

Cheng Xuedong said in a serious tone: "Girl, the value of tears is to make yourself strong." Before Xiaowei's college entrance examination, I agreed with her that we would turn our grief into strength and live up to her mother's ardent expectations. Now, what I want to advise you is that you must learn to be strong so that you can carry on Sook-jin's legacy. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Yan's sad expression became a little shy, and she wanted to take the opportunity to throw herself into the other party's arms, but she finally didn't have that courage.

Cheng Xuedong was about to dry her cheeks and held one of her small hands.

Liu Yan's body was already stiff, and finally trembled: "Teacher Cheng, you..."

Cheng Xuedong said in a kind tone: "Yan'er, don't call me 'Teacher Cheng' in the future, it's better to be casual, such as 'Lao Cheng' or 'Xuedong', just call me as smooth as you want." ”

Liu Yan shook her head again and again: "I don't call you 'Lao Cheng'!" ”

"Why?"

"I... I'm afraid I'll call you old..."

"Look at you?" Cheng Xuedong said angrily, "It's always 'you', are you afraid that you won't be old?" Why don't you call it casual? I'd prefer you to be kind. ”

Liu Yan's eyes lit up: "I call you 'Xuedong', right?" ”

"Okay, didn't I just tell you about it?"

Liu Yan was held by him, feeling warm in his heart, and he didn't mean to get rid of it at all, wondering where he was going to take him?

What surprised her was that Cheng Xuedong led her to a room that was unfamiliar to her, it was a room she had never patronized, she had heard Wang Shuzhen say that it was Cheng Xuedong's father's bedroom, and there were tablets for Cheng's father and Cheng's mother, which made her timid. Now, she was about to be led in by him. However, she was not afraid, because he was by her side.

As this bedroom does not have a window, the light is particularly dark. Even if Cheng Xuedong opened the door and let the light in the living room shine in, it was still dark. He casually clicked the switch behind the door.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in front of Liu Yan's eyes, forcing her to blink her eyelids. When she looked at it, she couldn't help but look ashamed. It turned out that the whole room had been covered with dust because it had not been cleaned for a long time.

This made Cheng Xuedong a little surprised, although it has been several days since he came back, he has not yet gone in because he does not want his parents to see his sadness.

"Yan'er, haven't you cleaned this place?"

In the face of his questioning, Liu Yan was almost embarrassed, and wanted to withdraw his hand in a panic, but he held it firmly and did not get his wish, so he had to hang his head: "I... I've never been in..."

Cheng Xuedong gently asked: "This is also a part of the home, you cleaned up the other places, why did you fall here?" ”

"I... I'm a little scared..."

Cheng Xuedong was stunned at first, but suddenly understood the psychology of a girl, and couldn't help sighing: "Alas, you can't be blamed for this." Because you haven't treated them as relatives yet. ”

Liu Yan's tears almost flowed out again: "I... I'll clean it up right away. ”

However, Cheng Xuedong has not let go of her intentions.

"Yan'er, don't be busy yet, let's clean up together later, and now we can worship their two elders."

Only then did Liu Yan carefully look at the two huge photos hanging on the wall, and when she saw that one of them was an old photo of a young girl, she couldn't help but move. Could this be Xuedong's mother? How could such a young photo be used as a posthumous portrait?

As soon as Liu Yan's mind became such a question, she suddenly remembered that Wang Suzhen once told the story of Cheng Xuedong's mother who died in childbirth for Cheng Xuedong, and suddenly sighed in her heart - could it be that his mother withered like a flower when she died?

Cheng Xuedong faced the portrait of his parents, ignoring the thick layer of dust piled up on the floor, and knelt down first, and the big hand holding Liu Yan's small hand deliberately tugged down.

Liu Yan knelt down knowingly-

Cheng Xuedong stared at the portrait of his parents with a pious gaze, and there were words in his mouth: "Dad, Mom, Xuedong has come to see you two old men." Please forgive Xuedong for not visiting you after returning home, because there are too many things going on at home. Shuzhen has already accompanied you, but when she left, she entrusted Miss Yan'er to accompany Xuedong to continue walking. Now, Xuedong will bring Miss Yan'er over to meet you two elders. ”

Liu Yan waited for him to come to this, and hurriedly bowed his head respectfully.

Cheng Xuedong continued to chant with tears in his eyes: "Dad, Mom, before I left home last time, I begged you to bless Shuzhen to accompany my son... But she still left... Please take good care of her over there... Xuedong doesn't complain that you didn't help me keep Shuzhen... Please bless Xuedong and Yan'er... I wish us the successful completion of the Tianyan Project··· Rejuvenating the country through science and technology is also the last wish of your two elders... At the beginning, my mother risked her precious life to create a scientist like those predecessors... Although Xuedong is stupid... Not up to the heights of the predecessors... But I am also willing to dedicate my modest efforts to the cause of science and technology of the motherland..."

Liu Yan silently listened to Cheng Xuedong's prayers, and her heart was also full of mixed feelings, and as soon as his choked words fell, she let out an emotional voice: "Dad, Mom, please accept Yan'er's presumptuous title." I neglected you two elders before, so that your room was covered with dust, this is Yan'er is ignorant, as long as Yan'er is at home in the future, I will greet you two elders every day, and promise to make this place spotless. Dad, Mom, Yan'er will take good care of Xuedong, and like him, she is determined to dedicate herself to the astronomical cause of the motherland, and be Xuedong's good assistant and companion. ”

Liu Yan didn't wait for Cheng Xuedong to react, and after saying this, he respectfully kowtowed three times.

Cheng Xuedong looked at the girl beside him at dusk, and a warm current suddenly rose all over his body. He suddenly realized the spiritual outlook that Liu Xiaoguang showed because of Li Mengmeng's entry.

By the time they finished cleaning the bedroom together, it was already late at night.

Liu Yan came out of the bathroom to wash up and found Cheng Xuedong still sitting in the living room.

She couldn't help but feel moved, was he waiting for herself?

In the past few days, none of them have had a good rest, and it is also the living room and Xiaowei's bedroom that have become places for each other to rest. Because Cheng Xuedong went home, Liu Yan took the initiative to give up the room she shared with Wang Shuzhen and stayed in Xiaowei's room temporarily. But Cheng Xuedong didn't live in a familiar room either, and kept making do on the sofa in the living room, because he couldn't rest on the bed where his deceased wife left. But until last night, Cheng Xuedong accidentally moved the quilt in, but why did he stay in the living room tonight?

Liu Yan quietly approached him, and did not stop until he looked up and met her eyes.

Liu Yan suppressed her pounding heartbeat: "Xuedong, it's time for you to rest, you will leave for Qianxi tomorrow." ”

Cheng Xuedong stared at her in a daze for a moment, and finally reacted: "Yan'er, I want to ask you something?" ”

"Oh, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

"Sook-jin once left me a letter, right? Where is it? Why didn't you hand it over to me? ”

Liu Yan hurriedly explained: "Because you have been immersed in great grief for the past few days, and you still have to comfort Xiaowei." I'm worried that you'll be stimulated by the content of the letter again, that's why..."

Cheng Xuedong stretched out his hand and interrupted: "I've come out now, can you show me?" ”

Liu Yan hesitated at first, and when she met Cheng Xuedong's determined eyes, she had to turn around slowly: "Please wait a minute." ”

When Cheng Xuedong saw her walk into the bedroom, he couldn't help but feel moved, it turned out that the letter was hidden in the bedroom where he lived last night.
