Chen Yuchuan took a shower, and the person was awake, but his head still hurt.

She sat in the room and drank the decanting soup sent by Chu Yikun in small sips.

"Is it hard to drink?" Chen Qingwu asked.

"It's hard to drink, and I wonder if he's poisoned." The hangover made Chen Yuchuan's mouth bitter, and he couldn't taste it at all.

"That's also Brother Yi Kun's thoughts, you should be bored, don't be too picky."

Chen Yuchuan suddenly raised his eyes and glared at Chen Qingwu fiercely: "You are not allowed to mention the matter of the red line just now, especially don't let your grandfather hear about it, I don't want to complicate everyone's relationship."

Chen Qingwu nodded and made a gesture to zip his mouth. She is simple-minded, but she also understands that adult considerations are far more complex than she thinks.

The two were talking in the room when there was another knock on the door.

This gentle voice sounded like Chu Yikun.

"Ah Kun, I drank the sobering soup, don't worry, I'm fine, you hurry back to work!" Chen Yuchuan shouted out through the door panel.

There was two more knocks on the door.

Chen Yuchuan sighed, put down the bowl in his hand and ran over to open the door: "Chu Yikun, you're not done yet, do you know how unpleasant your decanting soup is, if I don't sell you face, I'll ...... it."

"Han Ruize is here." Chu Yikun interrupted expressionlessly.

"Who? Who do you say is coming?"

"Han Ruize."

"Chen Qingwu, bring me my dumbbells."

「……」

Chen Qingwu didn't expect that this Han Ruize would have the face to come to the door.

Chen Yuchuan was obviously angry, and he took three steps and one step down, rushing straight into the courtyard.

Chen Changsheng didn't know it, and was still chatting with Han Ruize enthusiastically and introducing him to the fig trees in the yard.

"Han Ruize!" Chen Yuchuan pointed to the door and tried to calm his voice as calmly as possible: "You come out for me!"

Han Ruize calmly said to Chen Changsheng, "Uncle, I'll go out for a while, and I'll come back to chat with you later."

The two walked out of the courtyard one after the other.

"What's wrong?" Chen Changsheng noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and said to himself, "Did you quarrel?"

Chen Qingwu and Chu Yikun were silent.

The jujube trees outside the courtyard gate have a bumper harvest this year, and the emerald green leaves are full of small jujubes, and a few of them have quietly turned red.

Chen Yuchuan and Han Ruize stood under the jujube tree, not knowing what to say.

Chen Qingwu always paid attention to the movement outside, inexplicably a little irritable, she thought that if it was like that in the movie theater, Han Ruize and her sister-in-law would be over, but who knew that this man's skin was thicker than the clouds before the rainstorm last night, and he didn't know where he got the confidence to feel that this relationship could be salvageated.

Fortunately, the sister-in-law is sober enough not to fall into the trap of "reforming" the scumbag. I saw her standing there coldly with her elbows crossed, looking at Han Ruize, and almost hit the word bad luck on her head.

As Han Ruize spoke, his emotions gradually got out of control, and he wanted to reach out to hug his sister-in-law!

Who can bear this?

Chen Qingwu wanted to pick up the broom and beat the scumbag, but Chu Yikun next to her ran out of the yard one step ahead of her and directly knocked Han Ruize to the ground with one punch.

"Ah Kun, what are you doing here!"

Chen Changsheng was startled, and hurriedly ran out to fight, but it was too late, Chu Yikun and Han Ruize had already scuffled together.

"Tamagawa! Tamagawa! Let's pull them away!" The old man exclaimed.

Chen Yuchuan was also afraid that something would happen to Chu Yikun, so he leaned over and dragged him behind him.

Han Ruize was already in the mode of jumping over the wall in a hurry, he saw Chen Yuchuan protecting Chu Yikun, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and took a sip: "I'm embarrassed to say that I will split my legs first, I see that the two of you eyebrows are the Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Yikun was furious.

He hid it in his heart, took care of it silently, didn't dare to make a mistake, didn't dare to blaspheme his feelings, and was so unbearable by the people in front of him

。

"I said you liked her, didn't you? I can already see it, you can't wait to see Chen Yuchuan's eyes and can't immediately catch her!" Han Ruize was already speechless, he kicked the Chevrolet parked next to the Cayenne, "A poor ghost who drives such a broken car doesn't look in the mirror, and he is not qualified to be a phoenix man!"

Chu Yikun suddenly died down, and Han Ruize's words seemed to choke his backbone.

"Han Ruize! Don't go too far!" Chen Yuchuan directly picked up the bamboo pole used to pick up the dates on the side, and smashed it on Han Ruize's Cayenne with a "pop", "You get out of here now, and don't appear in front of me again!" Once it appears, I'll hit it once!"

"Okay, don't regret it."

"I'm sorry you ghost!"

Han Ruize realized that Chen Yuchuan's dislike of him was far greater than he imagined, and he was determined to leave.

Outside the small courtyard, Chen Yuchuan and Chu Yikun both seemed to have fallen into a mode of exhaustion, while Chen Changsheng was still in a fog, watching Han Ruize drive away, and kept asking, "What happened?"

Chen Qingwu couldn't hide it anymore, so he pulled his grandfather aside and told his grandfather about Han Ruize's cheating.

"How do you know?"

"That's what I saw."

"How did you see that?"

"Grandpa, is this the point?"

"Then why didn't you tell me?" The old man was angry, "You have to tell me earlier, see if I didn't break this stinky boy's dog leg just now!"

Chen Qingwu sneered, she couldn't guess that Han Ruize could still be sent to the door to be beaten, she had known that this would be the case, wouldn't she have replaced the bamboo pole that knocked the dates with a thicker stick!

Chen Changsheng walked out of the door and saw Chen Yuchuan standing dejectedly, so he immediately reached out and took his daughter into his arms.

"Okay, breaking up is not a big deal, you have to be glad that you found it early, otherwise, when you get married, you will find out that it is a big carrot, and you will have more hardship!" The old man patted his daughter's back, rarely showing his gentle side, "Don't be sad, two-legged toads are not easy to find, two-legged men are everywhere, my daughter is beautiful and excellent, are you afraid that you won't find a partner?"

Chen Yuchuan didn't have such a strong sense of sadness, but when he was hugged by his father, the string in his heart suddenly broke, and tears fell down in large blooms.

Crying sounded in the small courtyard, Chu Yikun frowned tightly, and Chen Qingwu was not comfortable.

She has never seen her sister-in-law like this, in Chen Qingwu's heart, her sister-in-law has always been a female warrior wearing armor, three hundred and sixty degrees of strength without dead ends, but it turns out that her sister-in-law also has her vulnerability, Chen Qingwu suddenly panicked inexplicably, and the feeling of wanting to grow up quickly became stronger.

"Don't you still have to meet customers?" Chu Yikun walked in front of Chen Yuchuan.

He woke up the dreamer with a word.

Chen Yuchuan was stunned and said that if he didn't cry, he wouldn't cry.

"Oh my god, I'm going to be late! Chu Yikun, why didn't you say it earlier! This customer is important today!"

She quickly wiped away a handful of tears and hurried up to the second floor to put on makeup.

Chen Changsheng looked at Chen Yuchuan's back and shook his head.

"I don't know when it's going to be worry-free?" After that, he turned his head and glanced at Chu Yikun and Chen Qingwu again, "You guys, none of them are worry-free!"

Chen Qingwu and Chu Yikun glanced at each other, and each looked away weakly, and they didn't know what the old man had seen through?

----

In short, what was supposed to be a perfect summer vacation ended in a mess.

Chen Qingwu has been worried about her sister-in-law in her heart, but in fact, her sister-in-law's self-healing ability is not bad, at least, after crying that day, she never showed her frustration in front of others. Chen Qingwu's sister-in-law went on a business trip to Chongcheng on a business trip the week of school, and cut her long hair after she came back, and since then she has devoted herself to her career, and all the three aunts and six mothers-in-law who said that they are close to each other have been rejected.

There is a saying among relatives that the sister-in-law was deeply hurt by the scumbag and is psychologically abnormal.

Chen Qingwu was also a little worried that her sister-in-law would drill the horns

, so he actively persuaded: "Sister-in-law, you can't close your heart just because you meet a scumbag, it's unfair to overturn a boatload of people with a rod, there are still good men in this world, you look around at the right time, cherish the people in front of you."

Chen Yuchuan rolled his eyes: "You directly reported Chu Yikun's ID number, what benefits did he give you, and you spoke for him all day long?"

"No, I think Brother Yi Kun is very good."

"Is that Brother Yi Kun good, or is Duan Jin Cheng good?"

"Sister-in-law! Don't talk nonsense, I'm in my third year of high school, and I have to study hard to take the college entrance examination!"

"It's good if you know, you know how to meddle all day long, you can take care of your studies, and you don't have to worry about my affairs."

All right.

After entering the third year of high school, Chen Qingwu's life is indeed not as comfortable as before, and obviously the pace of life has not changed much, but he feels that there is an invisible pressure that follows him.

The thoughts of the other students around him are also visibly heavy, only Duan Jincheng is still switching between the two identities of a scholar and a worker.

Chen Qingwu still asks him questions occasionally, but now that she is smarter, she will no longer focus on a single topic, but try to learn Duan Jincheng's problem-solving ideas, and integrate the same type of questions and draw inferences from one another, which not only saves his time, but also improves his ability.

In the first monthly exam after entering the third year of high school, Chen Qingwu achieved good results, and the midterm exam made persistent efforts and moved forward bravely, which made her feel a trace of delusion that she wanted to catch up with Duan Jincheng.

Dreams still have to be had, in case God naps.

She began to listen to lectures and brush up questions with great energy, to tell the truth, in the past ten years of life, she has never had such a clear goal, and she has never pursued anything so hard. The awakening of waste wood is the best description of her at this stage.

Duan Jin Cheng also saw that she had been ambitious and worked extra hard recently.

"Have you already decided what school you want to go to?" One day after the midterm exam, he suddenly asked her.

"No, what about you, have you figured it out?" Chen Qingwu took advantage of the situation to ask.

"I didn't think about it."

"With your grades, you will definitely be able to get into Beicheng."

Duan Jincheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, I'll talk about it after the exam is over."

The topic is stuck, and it's a little cold for some reason.

"Where have you been working part-time lately?" Chen Qingwu changed the subject.

"I haven't had a part-time job lately, but my dad is back." Duan Jincheng's eyes flashed, as if he was hiding a good news and was eager to share it with her, and he couldn't hold back his joy, "The money I saved before was enough for the two of us to rent a house outside, and I have been accompanying him to adapt to life outside recently, and when he transitions, we can start a new life."

The loneliness and the suffering under the fence are finally over.

"Really! Great!" Chen Qingwu was sincerely happy for him, "Then I wish you and your uncle all the best in their new life!"

"Thank you!"

----

After Duan Jincheng's father was released from prison, Duan Jincheng except for coming to school to attend classes, the rest of his life was tilted towards his father.

Chen Qingwu often saw him leave school in a hurry with his schoolbag on his back as soon as he got out of school, let alone ask him questions, and she even had fewer and fewer opportunities to talk to him. Although he was a little disappointed, Chen Qingwu also understood Duan Jincheng's feelings, after all, it was his father who returned to his side.

If her father could return to her, then she would be ten thousand times happier than Duan Jincheng.

Of course, this is only a hypothesis with a zero probability of realization, and her father will never return to her, and she will never experience the joy of regain.

Chen Qingwu thought of his father, and by the way, he remembered that his father's death day was coming, and his grandfather seemed to be very busy recently, and he didn't hear him talk about this topic.

It's time to go back and remind Grandpa, she thought.

After school, Chen Qingwu went straight home.

small

There was a black Audi with a clear A license plate parked at the gate of the courtyard, and Chen Qingwu recognized this car as Zhou Yiren Zhou's uncle's car.

Zhou Yiren is the person in charge of the nuclear carving studio that his grandfather cooperated, and it is said that many of his grandfather's works were brought to fire by Zhou Yiren's nuclear carving studio, and his grandfather was grateful, so even if he had a certain reputation and a better cooperation platform to find him, he did not stop continuing to cooperate with this nuclear carving studio.

During the New Year's holidays, Zhou Yiren would come to visit his grandfather with a congratulatory gift, but he had never seen him come to the door, why did he suddenly come today?

Chen Qingwu felt strange, and as soon as he stepped into the small courtyard, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from his grandfather's studio.

"The market has long been chaotic, and we are not the only ones who are using machine carving to pretend to be handmade!"

"I can't control what other people do for the time being, but the works signed with my name can't be faked!"

"Master Chen, can you stop being so brainless? Think about it, how much time does it take you to go from finding inspiration to ideating to producing your work one by one? No matter how expensive your work is, if you convert it into time, it's just that! But the machine carving is different, the machine carving is fast, how much money can you make more! You can do the math yourself! I've been working with you for so many years, I'm sure I won't hurt you, I'm definitely thinking about your benefits!"

Grandpa sighed heavily: "Xiao Zhou, you also said that I have worked with you for so many years, don't you know what I am like?" Am I the kind of person whose interests come first? If I only thought about making money, would I still sit here today and hand-carve my work one by one?"

"That's why I said you're brainless!"

"I'm not brainless, I just think that art has to be sincere, and nuclear sculpture is an art. A work of art must have its own thoughts, in order to meet real resonance, machine sculpture is the creation of a machine, the machine is dead, what kind of thoughts can there be? This kind of work is just to deceive some laymen."

"I don't hinder you from pursuing art, you can also continue to create by hand, I just add a few works to you during the blank period of your handmade creation, so that you can gain a little more, and you have no loss, just a signature, don't be so serious, Master Chen!"

"You're a strong word!" Grandpa Chen Changsheng was furious, "If you insist on doing this, I don't think we need to cooperate anymore!"

"Master Chen, we signed a contract, if you don't want to cooperate anymore, you have to pay liquidated damages, you have figured out, whether you want to make money or lose money!"

"You...... You ......."

"Eh, eh! Master Chen! Don't get excited! Master Chen! Master Chen!"
