Li Shusheng is right, perhaps, Li Yun is really similar to her mother, her mother just couldn't bear the severe pain caused by the sudden "let go" of her loved one and died. Li Shusheng said that it was a pity that he didn't understand this truth back then.

However, if he doesn't understand the truth, how can I understand it? Or, how many times do people understand but can't? No one can predict the future, just as I could have predicted that I would wake up and cross the line of time after meeting a wandering singer?

I drank a cup of bitter and thick kung fu tea in silence, thought about it, in my mind, and remembered Li Yun's pale face after being drunk and the feeling of heartache at that time, I had no confidence in myself, but in the face of a middle-aged man who lived in repentance every day and dreamed of atonement every day, I had to say something.

So I solemnly made my promise to him (just as I have promised Li Yun many times): "Uncle Li, I won't let go, don't worry." ”

Li Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief and told me that he was always available to help me if my bookstore encountered any difficulties.

"By the way," I said suddenly, "after your book city is built, leave me a bunk, and I will open my bookstore branch in your book city." ”

Li Shusheng laughed and said: "Zhou Xu, your ambition is not small, no problem, I will reserve a place for you." ”

Before leaving, I glanced at Chen Yan, who was standing respectfully beside Li Shusheng, and tried to find a trace of his wife in her, but there was nothing.

Chen Yan is Chen Yan, although beautiful, although plump and seductive, she has no resemblance to my wife in later life.

When Li Yun asked me why I wasn't in the dormitory this afternoon, I said that I had gone to visit a bookseller introduced by Guo Ming. I asked again, "Did you go to me today?"

Li Yun said yes, I found a person who did store design, I asked my classmates to introduce him, and I wanted to go with you to find him. During this time, I wanted to do a good job of designing the storefront of the bookstore first.

I hummed and said, "New Year's Day has passed, and another month is the Spring Festival, and you're going to be in the Spring Festival this year—"

Of course, I want to ask Li Yun where she plans to spend the Chinese New Year this year, since she doesn't go to Hong Kong, and her father is patiently staying in Hangzhou waiting for her to change her mind, so is she really going to spend the New Year in this rental house?

"Then what do you say, you must go home for the New Year, right?" Li Yun said worriedly.

I laughed and said, "Then come to my house for the New Year, anyway, my mother will find out sooner or later." The beautiful daughter-in-law has to see that, too. ”

Li Yunleng for a moment, then understood, and punched me in shame: "What nonsense are you talking about, you are not allowed to say such things again." ”

The exam is coming up in a few days, and I don't think it's good to stay in the rental room to review, so I told Li Yun that we will live in the dormitory in the days before the exam, and we will talk about it after the exam.

It should be said that the exams in college are still relatively easy to deal with, especially in the third year, there are more essay questions than rote memorization, although I am still tired of this kind of stupid test, for me, the comfortable life after work is still much better than the study stage.

The day after the exam, I received a letter, and when I saw the cover, my heart began to beat strongly, and the familiar handwriting told me that it was from Bao Lina.

When I pulled out the letter and looked at it, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This letter, to be precise, was not written by Bao Lina at all, and the contents of the three sheets of manuscript paper full of words were the long poems I wrote on the bus when I returned from Shengzhou.

There is not a single word except for this long poem. Bao Lina didn't write a word, just gave me back the long poem I had written, and that's it.

At that moment, I had a strong urge to run downstairs, to run down the corridor on the right, to find Bao Lina, to ask her what the letter really meant.

But I didn't move, I didn't do anything, I put the three manuscript papers under the box along with the envelope, and this long poem became my treasure "at the bottom of the box".

The winter break has begun, and there are still four days left before the Spring Festival. During this time, Li Yun really found someone to design the decoration plan of the store, and after we confirmed it, it could be decorated after the Spring Festival. Li Yun is in charge of the decoration, and I am in charge of the source and approval.

On this day, I found a public phone booth on campus and called Qian Haiping, and I was surprised to find that the voice of Qian Haiping, deputy director of the External Relations Department of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, sounded very young.

Guo Ming treated me honestly, he had already greeted Director Qian in advance, and he also told me the basic situation of Qian Haiping. It is said that this Qian Haiping is already a very powerful figure at a young age, and his father is a famous novel writer in this province and a member of the National Writers Association. Qian Haiping's literary level is average, but his mind is very smart, and he is very good at interpersonal relationships, and he can be regarded as a rare business-minded person in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. And the interesting thing is that although he is not very good at writing, he is very good at writing reviews, in other words, he can't write things himself, but he is very good at commenting on what others write.

Qian Haiping said that he was Guo Ming's brother, so he could tell him anything he could, and he would definitely help.

I said that it was actually nothing, it was just a matter of approval.

Qian Haiping said with a hearty smile on the phone: "The problem of approval is actually a problem of affiliation, this is no problem, so let's do it, it's not clear on the phone, we are going to have a holiday tomorrow, let's see if there is time during the Spring Festival, everyone gets together." I haven't seen Guo Ming for a long time, this guy has been haunted since he beat his wife and returned to China. ”

I said, "Okay, then we'll find Guo Ming to have a party together, I really have to trouble the two big brothers in this matter." ”

Qian Haiping said: "Okay, I'll give you a phone number at my home, I'm free after the third year of junior high school, you discuss with Guo Ming for a while, call me again, let's go to Guo Ming's house." ”

After making this phone call, I thought about it in my heart, it seems that I have to first list the problems to be solved to open a bookstore, as well as the procedures and objects needed, and then on the day of the party, I will ask these two big brothers to work on the staff and staff of the two big brothers, and I need their help to say hello in advance. As for the benefits for the two of them, I also have to consider, after the bookstore opens, I will seal a red envelope for them at the end of each year.

With that in mind, I called my mom and told her I was going home tomorrow.

My mother was naturally happy, and then I told her: "Mom, is it okay for Li Yun to come to our house for the New Year this year?"

My mother said "Huh" and said, "You kid, do you really want Li Yun to become our daughter-in-law?"

I said, "Yes, the raw rice is already cooked." ”

My mother exaggerated "ah" on the phone, and then said, "Okay, good, you kid is promising, and if you are cooked, you will be cooked." But let me warn you first, Li Yun is a serious girl, and she is quite pitiful, you can't find other raw rice. ”

I said, "What do you call that, your son is the kind of person who cooks rice everywhere and plays around." ”

My mother said happily on the phone: "Okay, I believe in you, but I believe that you are useless, and Li Yun must believe in you." Let's do it, let's go home together tomorrow, you tell Li Yun that our whole family welcomes her!"

Putting down the phone, I feel relaxed, everything that should be done has been done, it seems that I have to sleep in the living room again this Spring Festival.

The only thing that made me feel strange was Bao Lina's strange letter that didn't have a word of her at all.

When I went back to the dormitory building, I just walked to Wenxin Bookstore, and I saw Bao Lina standing in front of the bookstore, taking a schoolbag, and putting a lot of books in the bag.
