The evening breeze was miserable, not only could not blow away this annoying irritability, but also plated a layer of cold helplessness in my heart......

After dinner, Cheng Jia'an squatted on the threshold and smoked silently, his eyes were foggy and his thoughts were restless. Li Xiulan came out with a basin to wash clothes, so she could chat with Cheng Jia'an by the way. Seeing her husband's loneliness, Li Xiulan's expression also dimmed.

"His father, so to speak, Jiang Shui really decided to take the high school entrance examination? You didn't force her, did you? ”

"I'm a dad who can force my own girl." Cheng Jia'an glared, spit out a puff of smoke rings in his mouth, and wisps of smoke filled the front, becoming trance and ethereal.

He stared sadly into the distance, and said in pieces, "Hey! This girl in our family really made me a father, and I couldn't do it all afternoon. Choosing that path seems simple, but the future is very different! ”

"Hey! Dad, don't be so uncomfortable. Li Xiulan sighed, stretched out her hand, gently rubbed along Cheng Jia'an's back, and in her heart, she gritted her teeth and said, "Or...... Otherwise, let's let the girl go to high school, isn't it difficult? Grit your teeth and get over! I also figured it out, no matter how much I lose, I can't lose my child. In case the child is unhappy in the future, isn't it still us who are sad parents? ”

Cheng Jia'an turned his head in surprise and looked at his wife seriously: "Can you really figure it out?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Xiulan glared at him and slapped Cheng Jia'an's back: "This mother, how can you not feel sorry for the meat that fell from your body!" ”

Cheng Jia'an nodded clearly, turned his head and said wistfully: "That's what I said, too, but our girl's heart is bright." The decision she made, I'm afraid that the nine cows can't pull it back, from this point of view, it's you who are alive and well, and you are strong! ”

Li Xiulan's face was also gloomy, and she bowed slightly: "This girl is with me, she takes care of this family first in everything she does, if it is someone else's child, can she still take care of you?" Hey, this girl really didn't raise in vain. ”

The wife is not the kind of patriarchal foot-bound aunt, and the expression of this heart is no less than the expectations for the two sons, and even worse, which makes Cheng Jia'an deeply gratified.

As long as a bowl of water can be leveled, no matter what the fate of the children will be in the future, as parents, they will be able to be confident.

Cheng Jia'an nodded and said with emotion: "No, I have always said that Jiang Shui is a treasure of our family." Ay! I just don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future. ”

Li Xiulan raised her neck at this time, full of absolute confidence: "Don't worry, the person we Jiangshui is looking for is not the best, and it must be one in a hundred, this must not have run!" I believe in our girl's vision. ”

Seeing his wife's appearance of calling Hanako to catch lice, Cheng Jia'an couldn't help but wonder: "Ho, you are quite confident." ”

"The child I gave birth to, I have a spectrum in my heart!"

Li Xiulan's eyes rolled, and then the tone of her words changed, and she said domineeringly: "Besides, she is looking for her mother-in-law's house, don't you have the two of us in the back, don't even think about it!" ”

Cheng Jia'an's face was stunned, and then he teased: "You are still old-fashioned, now that everyone is in free love, you should still be the words of our parents." ”

Li Xiulan thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said also makes a little sense...... By the way, Yi'an also took the exam this time, right? I didn't come back beforehand, and it's been a long time since I went back. ”

Cheng Jia'an frowned and thought for a while, and said calmly: "Yi'an is definitely going to take the exam this time, and I think it's right if he doesn't come back." ”

"How do you say that?" Li Xiulan was a little puzzled, why didn't she go home, but it was right.

Looking at his wife's frowning eyebrows, Cheng Jia'an knew in his heart that He Yi'an had not turned around for a long time, and his wife was already more or less resentful in her heart, but because of Du Wanling's affection, she didn't say anything.

But if she didn't have a good reason, she would definitely not be able to get over the hurdle in her heart, so she hurriedly explained for He Yi'an.

"Didn't the newspaper say that the focus was on recruiting high school graduates like him? But think about it, how many schools and how many students we have in the country. Well, I guess there are four or five million people, to say the least. There are so many people, even if everyone sharpens their heads and drills into it, they can't all go to college, right? ”

"Four or five million!"

This is an astronomical amount in Li Xiulan's eyes, she looked incredulous, and her surprised eyes were about to fall: "Oops...... This...... That's how many people there are! But if you have to catch up with thousands of regiments, can we be admitted to Yi'an? ”

Cheng Jia'an emphasized: "Don't say that you can't pass the exam, now that the exam time is approaching, you just let him review well, don't look forward to running around, this won't delay learning." ”

Yes, competing in front of such a "thousand troops" is more difficult than climbing to the sky!

Once it comes to the vital interests of the child, Li Xiulan suddenly seemed to be enlightened on the spot, and uncharacteristically told Cheng Jia'an: "That's right, you can also tell Wanling when you go back, let Yi'an study with peace of mind, don't worry about running to the group." Delay your studies, see if I don't peel his skin! ”

The wife is so "understanding", Cheng Jia's worries will naturally be eliminated, it seems that she is still very easy to coax with big nerves.

After carefully pondering Li Xiulan's proper parental words, Cheng Jia'an alertly reminded: "In the future, you can just say it in the bed, but don't say it in front of others." Yi'an has his own parents and parents, and these things are no longer our turn, so let's take a back seat. ”

Li Xiulan frowned and thought for a while, then nodded reasonably: "Hey, that's the reason!" It's like we're going to grab something. Then according to what you said, take a back seat and let Weiguo and Wanling go into battle in person! ”

The parents were chattering outside, but Cheng Jianghe, who was lying on the kang table in the inner room, had his eyes fluttering. glanced at the figure of his parents outside the door, leaned his body to the side, frowned, and whispered to ask Cheng Jiangshui, who was helping his mother hold the soles of his shoes.

"Sister, what your parents said is true, you really don't plan to go to college?"

Cheng Jiangshui nodded lightly: "Hmm! ”

"Why don't you take the test?" Cheng Jianghe straightened up, a little angry in his words, and tried his best to persuade his sister: "How good is the university, it's all in the big city, there is a library, you can read a lot of books, and Brother Yi'an has to take the university entrance examination." ”

Cheng Jiangshui raised his head indifferently, but there was an imperceptible desolation in his eyes: "He is him, I am me, we are different!" ”

Cheng Jianghe was stunned and scratched his head suspiciously: "What's different?" Your studies are no worse than that of Yi'ange, and it is not easy to get into college! ”

"You're too young to understand!" Cheng Jiangshui smiled sadly.

Cheng Jianghe rolled his eyes and snorted twice in his nose: "Who said I don't understand, isn't it that our family has no money!" ”

Cheng Jiangshui raised his head in surprise and looked at Cheng Jianghe with burning eyes: "You, you still ask if you know!" ”

Cheng Jianghe looked aggrieved for Cheng Jiangshui, and said righteously: "Sister, I'm afraid that you will regret it in the future, so it's a pity to give up your life like this." ”

Cheng Jiangshui glared at Cheng Jianghe fiercely, knocked a shudder on his head, and said angrily: "What nonsense, what do you mean by giving up your life, I'm not going to die, crow's mouth." ”

Cheng Jianghe covered his head and exhaled in pain, and said unyieldingly: "I'm afraid that you will be sad in the future, and you have studied for so many years in vain." ”

Cheng Jiangshui frowned slightly, and said calmly: "How come?" I can still go to a high school, and I will be a doctor in the future, just like my father, even if I am not a big person, I can be respected everywhere I go. Besides, if you come out to work early, it will not be so difficult for our family, and in the future, you and Jiang Hai will be able to take the university entrance examination, isn't it all good! ”

Cheng Jianghe was also a little arrogant, and said angrily: "Then in the future, I will also take the high school exam, and I will come out to work early and help my parents with you." ”

These words immediately annoyed the pure and elegant Cheng Jiangshui, who frowned, and scolded with beautiful eyes: "Cheng Jianghe, what kind of!" I can tell you, you get rid of this idea for me. Why should I go to vocational high school? Isn't it for you and Jiang Hai to take a wider road in the future? I won't be in vain if you don't take the university entrance exam, don't force me to beat you! ”

Listening to his sister's fierce words, Cheng Jianghe's heart trembled, his head shrank, and he said in fear: "Oh, sister, I'll just say it, don't worry!" ”

Cheng Jiangshui's face flushed and did not retreat, and he pinched his powder fist and reprimanded: "Can I not be anxious?" You are a recognized talent in our family, and you are also the one with the most potential, who will go if you don't go to university? In the future, this kind of thinking will stop me as soon as possible, do you hear? ”

Cheng Jianghe glanced at it fearfully, and quickly nodded frequently: "Oh, oh, I know, sister!" ”

Day 2, morning.

Although he did enough "psychological counseling" for his wife, Cheng Jia'an was a little uneasy in his heart, which may be the disadvantage of "doctors do not treat themselves".

It's no wonder that He Yi'an hasn't shown up again since he went, although Du Wanling will call from time to time, but after a long time, she is always a little worried in her heart.

Cheng Jia'an doesn't take the initiative to call Du Wanling on weekdays, after all, he is a deputy director, and he harasses people when he has nothing to do.

Be a man, keep a low profile, and be at ease at any time.

But it really hit a critical juncture, and it is not practical to ask. Cheng Jia'an pondered, and used Li Xiulan's explanation as a reason to make a phone call to inquire, and also relieved the growing thoughts in his heart.

Estimating that Du Wanling should go to work, Cheng Jia'an paced to the gate of the regimental field. Not only are newspapers distributed, but there is also the only public telephone in the group.

"Master, I'll make a call!"

"Hit, hit!"

Cheng Jia'an said hello to the master, then dialed the phone number of Du Wanling's office, turned over slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, is it Wanling?" Oh, I'm Cheng Jia'an. ”

Du Wanling, who picked up the phone, was a little surprised: "Oh, it's Brother Jia'an, call me so early, is there something urgent?" ”

Cheng Jia'an said curtly: "It's not a big deal, isn't it just that I saw the newspaper, this is not the resumption of the college entrance examination, I want to ask what the situation is on Yi'an's side." ”

Du Wanling suddenly became a little clear, and secretly blamed herself in her heart, and said apologetically: "Oh, I still think about how to tell you, Yi'an is really lucky to be able to participate in the first batch of college entrance examinations this time, and now I am hurrying up to review." It's not been many days since I saw this, so ah, he always wanted to go back to the group to visit you, but I stopped him. ”

Cheng Jia'an hurriedly said reasonably: "Yes, yes, you did the right thing!" That's what I mean when I call, you explain to Yi'an to review steadily, don't run around, it's useless. The key is to get into a good university, which is better than anything else. ”

"Yes, I'm also worried that you will misunderstand, I didn't go to the group to see you when I came back, Xiulan's sister-in-law won't have an opinion, right?" Du Wanling asked a little worriedly.

Cheng Jia'an hurriedly explained: "No, no, you still explain to me before the head, let me tell Yi'an not to run to the group field if you have nothing to do!" ”

Hearing Li Xiulan's attitude, Du Wanling's heart warmed, and her hanging heart was immediately put down: "That's good, when there is a result after the exam, I will let him go back to see you." ”

Cheng Jia'an nodded earnestly, and didn't care if the other party could see it: "Okay, okay, this is not in a hurry, not in a hurry!" Then you can be busy, I won't bother you. ”

It was inconvenient to disturb Du Wanling's work too much, and as soon as the matter was finished, Cheng Jiaan consciously wanted to hang up the phone, but was suddenly stopped by the other party.

"Alas, wait...... Brother Jia'an, Weiguo came back some time ago, and I originally wanted to go to the group to see you, but the work in the province was tight, so I called him back in a hurry, and even their father and son didn't stay long, so I think I can only take another time! ”

Du Wanling's words are obviously looking for a reason for He Weiguo to excuse herself, and when she says this, it is estimated that even she will be suspicious.

There is no way, can you express the grievances in your heart and show the distorted He Weiguo in front of the public? After all, they are husband and wife, even if it is for He Yi'an, Du Wanling must defend He Weiguo against her will.

Of course, Cheng Jia'an of Mu Ne is not stupid. He Yi'an returned to Longyou, and He Weiguo, as a father, will definitely turn around non-stop to visit his precious son, which is the least sophisticated human feelings.

As for whether they can come to the group with a "human touch" to see their "rare" couple, that's another matter.

The reason for this is tacitly understood.

Cheng Jia'an said euphemistically: "Wanling, it's okay, now Weiguo is a big leader, and he is busy with all the major events in the province, don't you dare to delay the time in our corners of the place, work first, work first." ”

Although I couldn't see Du Wanling's expression on the other end of the phone, I could hear a strong apology and helplessness from the voice: "I'm sorry, it's been so many years, and it's hard to come back, but it's ......"

Cheng Jia'an responded quite generously: "It's okay, it's okay, there will be opportunities in the future, Wanling, then I'll hang up first." ”

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Jia'an spit out the depressed and turbid air in his abdomen, but he did not feel relieved by this, but stood gloomily for a while, and then turned to the doorman with a normal face: "Master, how much!" ”

"2 Mao!"

"Here, thank you, master, let's go first."
