between clouds and mud

Chapter 42 Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease

This autumn's Lantern Bridge has a good harvest of melons and fruits, and an ordinary but lively wedding is slowly unfolding.

Amidst the beating of gongs and drums, firecrackers blared, red confetti fluttered, and the welcoming team drove slowly over the red silk.

Zhang Fang wore a Chinese double-breasted dress according to local customs, and covered her head with a hijab, sitting on the wedding bed in the room and waiting.

Hearing the sound of the convoy downstairs, the crowd downstairs became lively.

The bridegroom officer got off the car, and he strolled in, passing through the roaring salutes.

The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and the little Doudings covered their ears: "Pick up the bride."

Behind Zhang Jiaxiang are five best men in suits and leather shoes.

After saluting with the elders in the main room, a group of groomsmen followed Zhang Jiaxiang to the new room on the second floor.

The bride's room was tightly blocked, behind the door was the creaking laughter of the bridesmaids.

According to the rules, Zhang Jiaxiang handed in the red envelopes through the crack of the door, one after another.

There is a custom of marriage and trouble in rural areas, and the more trouble is, the more lively the life is.

Seeing the flow of red envelopes stuffed in, Zhang Fang sat on the bed feeling pain in her liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. She half-revealed her hijab and wanted to open the door, but was stopped by the bridesmaids.

The first one was Zhou Song, who led the bridesmaids to guard Zhang Fang with sharp eyes: "We have a traitor here."

Amidst the excitement, Zhang Jiaxiang moistened his throat: "Get out of the way, out of the way, if you don't open the door, I'm going to hit you."

Before he could kick it, the handle of the door was secretly turned from the inside.

As soon as Chen Xiaolan, who was secretly keeping Chen Cang open, was squeezed aside by the best man group who swarmed in.

"Brother-in-law, you have to give me a big red envelope." Chen Xiaolan, who was squeezed behind the door, pouted and did not forget to ask for credit.

Before Zhang Fang could see who was coming, her body was picked up by the sky. Zhang Jiaxiang embraced the daughter-in-law in his arms, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "The red envelopes are not enough, we have so many single brothers, I will pick them for you."

"I still have to look for shoes. If you don't find the shoes, you are not allowed to leave." Zhou Song blocked the door.

Zhang Fang showed her new shoes under the bright red face, and signaled that she had already put them on secretly by herself, and she complained: "Just now when the door was blocked, Xiao Liu made the most noise."

Zhang Jiaxiang sucked his daughter-in-law's cheek and strode out the door: "Someone took care of her."

Zhou Song held the red envelope in her arms, and she proudly opened one secretly.

Huh?How come it gets smaller and smaller, and there is still one yuan.

Zhang Chengnian waited for her, sighed, he was already worried.

"You make such a fuss, what shall we do then?"

"what?"

"It will increase the difficulty of Brother Cheng."

Zhou Song threw the empty red envelope to him, and the temperature reached her ears: "You think beautiful."

The newlyweds' motorcade arrived at Zhang Jiaxiang's house, and the empty lawn in front of the house was covered with banquets covered with red silk.

As the newlyweds got off the car, the salutes sounded one after another, flower petals fell all over the sky, and candies were scattered all over the ground.

After the banquet during the day, Jiang Lele, the only one who didn't drink, drove the couple to Linxi Shangfu.

The new house is a standard three-bedroom, two-living room. Jiang Lele and Zhou Song share a room, and Zhang Chengnian sleeps in a room.

Jiang Lele held her laptop and began to watch the video recorded during the day. She brought her assistant over to help with the photography.

Zhou Song was a little dazed, but he didn't forget the business. Zhang Chengnian blocked a lot of wine as the best man.

The door of Zhang Chengnian's room was not closed tightly, and the bedroom was dark, so she walked in softly: "Is your stomach ache better?"

The man on the bed rubbed his stomach with his palms, and his voice was a little drunk: "It hurts"

"I'll cook you a bowl of porridge."

As soon as she finished speaking, he gently grabbed the corner of her clothes, and a pair of eyes locked her tightly in the darkness.

"Just rub it for me." The drunken voice sounded a little lazy.

Zhou Song couldn't see his expression clearly, she sat down beside the bed: "How have you taken care of yourself these past few years, is it because you can't take care of eating well when you are busy with work."

"You take care of it from now on, I'll definitely listen." In the dark, he held her palm tightly, and said in a cautious tone, "Xiao Liu, don't get angry with me."

The guest bedroom where Zhang Chengnian lived was close to the master bedroom, and he could vaguely hear the rustling of the new house next door.

The air was inexplicably quiet, and the two looked at each other silently, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhou Song walked away silently, and told him: "Get up quickly, take off your suit, and take a bath to feel more comfortable."

"I'm uncomfortable." He tugged on his tie, his throat a little dry: "Xiao Liu, help me."

Zhou Song couldn't help punching him, and heard him grunt.

Under the touch of skin to skin, it was cold, and at this moment she also realized that something was wrong.

Zhang Chengnian was terribly cold, she touched his forehead, it was cold.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Song became nervous: "Do you feel bad pain?"

Zhang Chengnian breathed out, and he said, "There is medicine in the car, in the box in front of the co-driver."

She took the key and ran all the way downstairs to the basement, and found stomach medicine in the car.

Check the English letters and instructions on the bottle, this is medicine for gastric ulcer.

He took a glass of warm water and gave it to him to drink.

Zhang Chengnian closed his eyes in a daze.

Zhou Song helped him loosen his tie and unbutton his shirt.

Wipe his body clean with a warm towel and change into his pajamas.

After a series of actions, Zhou Song helped him cover the quilt.

Her palm gently stroked the broken hair on his forehead, trembling, and her voice was difficult to coherent: "Zhang Chengnian, how do you take care of yourself? Gastritis has turned into a gastric ulcer. Do you take your body seriously?" Son."

Her tears dripped down into his palm.

Zhang Chengnian wiped away her tears.

"Xiao Liu, brother Cheng is very good."

"Don't cry."

His voice was very soft, and he stretched out his arms to hug her, smelling the familiar smell, the pain finally eased a little, and he gradually fell asleep.

Jiang Lele got so busy that she almost forgot the time.

She stayed up all night and edited the video, and thought it was good, so she posted it on Weibo.

She didn't wake up until the afternoon, and when she touched the phone, the calls were all ringing, and they were all from the company.

I glanced at the work group, my God, Weibo exploded.

Jiang Lele opened the homepage of Weibo, which usually has tens of thousands of likes, but last night it skyrocketed to more than 20 likes, and the data is still soaring.

Click on the comment area, and it's all calling - Mr. Zhang.

Fuck, who is Mr. Zhang?
Jiang Lele scrolled down to Zhang Chengnian's name, when did this guy become so popular?
Jiang Lele searched his personal information. It was a renovation program that was aired recently, and Zhang Chengnian worked as an old house renovation designer in it.

She screamed in shock, and everyone in the room surrounded her in shock.

"what happened?"

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Jiang Lele turned her laptop screen to them, and her expression could be described as thunderous: "Zhang Chengnian, you're on fire."

It turns out that this is how one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Even with her, it was on the top 10 of the hot search headlines.

In Jiang Lele's video, Zhang Chengnian is completely different from the mature and restrained image in the show.

In the streets of the small town, he was riding a bicycle leisurely, with pure eyes and flying hair.

At the lively wedding, standing in the crowd, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, full of vigor and vigor.

Except for riding a bicycle, Jiang Lele didn't take pictures of him on purpose, and basically just swept him away, and the sharp-eyed fans cut out the pictures frame by frame.

It's crazy, the comment section is full of husbands, these women are like wolves and tigers.

The attitude of the person involved, Zhang Chengnian, was very indifferent. He obviously knew the news in advance.

This show was originally unpopular, but after three episodes, the discussion skyrocketed.

Because a designer named Zhang Chengnian appeared on the scene.

His first transformation mission was for a middle-aged and elderly scientific research couple, both of whom were intellectuals, who had been studying rice growth in the fields all year round.

The income of national scientific research personnel is actually not high, and the husband and wife live in the scientific research base all year round, so the budget for this transformation is not too much.

Finally, after more than a month of renovation, the space is mainly simple and warm in color.

In fact, compared with the previous designers, the effect is more general and not outstanding.

The audience was also a little disappointed with Zhang Gong's ability.

But he was handsome after all.

As long as the elder brother looks good, Sanguan will follow the five senses.

The comment section put the blame on the owner's budget issues.

When the owner entered the site for acceptance, his reaction was completely opposite to that of the audience, who was very satisfied with the effect.

The old man is different from the young man, he likes to be simple and down-to-earth.

All the details of the space have been thoughtfully considered in the humanized design. After all, the husband and wife are old and like to be practical.

Therefore, Zhang Chengnian is greatly appreciated. A young and outstanding talent like this, also a returnee, does not stick to superficial things.

Everyone subconsciously agreed that this man's family background, experience, style of conversation, and conduct were all first-class and outstanding.

I have to feel that the Creator is really partial.

To the following gift exchange link.

The owner spread pen and ink on the desk in the new home, picked up the pen vigorously, and wrote down the word "ingenuity" as a gift to the young designer.

The paper is full of smudged thick ink, the pen is old and heavy, and every word is clear.

In the camera, an unpretentious old man and a young designer in their prime are leaning over the desk, which makes people feel that the picture is extremely full.

The director team didn't expect this show to be a big hit, so they specially cut some clips into it.

After the show ended, Zhang Chengnian accompanied the old man to the experimental field.

In the mirror are plump grains, and in the distant shot, the two are bending over to negotiate in the field.

The lens zooms out, slowly zooms in, and then cuts to black.

This program has undoubtedly made Zhang Chengnian's career a turning point in his life.

Since then, Zhang Chengnian has not only represented the name of an ordinary person, but also has infinite possible commercial value.

In front of the TV, Zhang Jiaxiang, Zhang Fang, Zhou Song, Zhang Chengnian, and Jiang Lele watched the program together.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, they were not yet able to perceive this change and the possibility of future emergence.

Zhang Jiaxiang was in confusion: "Brother Cheng, you are on the show."

Zhou Song's expression is relatively flat, she has also given speeches on TV.

Is Jiang Lele making such a fuss about this?

Zhang Fang patted her husband's thigh and stood up. She thought of the way to get rich: "Next time you shoot, can you take two pomelo to help promote it."

Jiang Lele looked at him adoringly, and she had already begun to secretly regret that she deliberately made things difficult for Zhang Chengnian last time.

With infinite remorse in my heart, as Internet celebrities who rely on traffic to make a living, it is best for the two of them to smile away their enmity.

Because, she still wants to grab a few more waves of bonuses.

Zhang Chengnian's performance was relatively flat, he was sitting on the edge, chewing wedding candy in his mouth.

Zhou Song's cell phone began to buzz, and the caller showed Lao Gu. She was curious: "How did Lao Gu call me?"

Zhang Chengnian took her mobile phone and explained: "There are too many harassing calls, my mobile phone has been turned off for a few days."

The wedding is over, and everyone's departure schedule is on the agenda.

Jiang Lele and his assistant enthusiastically carried the suitcase, and planned to sit in Zhang Chengnian's car: "Go back to Hangzhou, take me along."

"I'm afraid I won't be on the way. I'm going to Shenzhen." Zhang Chengnian didn't hesitate.

Jiang Lele, who was splashed with cold water, gritted her teeth secretly: "Then take me to the station, let's go."

Zhang Chengnian glanced at her and leaned aside.

When Zhou Song went downstairs, he naturally took the luggage and put it in his car.

"I drove by myself." Zhou Song reminded.

"I'm worried about your technology." Zhang Chengnian took the car key from her hand and threw it to Jiang Lele.

He thoughtfully arranged for Jiang Lele: "Daxiang will drive you to the station."

Unconvinced, Jiang Lele stood behind and argued: "Going to Wuhan, are you on the way again?"

Zhang Chengnian backed out of the car, slowly lowered the window, left two words and walked away.

"On the way."

It takes five hours to drive from Linxi Town to Zhou Song's school.

Zhang Chengnian's driving habits are completely different from Chi Ye's. When Chi Ye chased her, he drove like a snail. After they got together, they played speed and passion.

Zhang Chengnian is very calm, neither hasty nor impatient, just like his people.

The two drove back and forth all the way, he sat beside her, Zhou Song felt at ease in his heart, even the whistling wind was comfortable.

Zhang Chengnian, who was sitting in the co-pilot, sized her up for a long time, then said slowly, "Xiao Liu, do you remember?"

"what?"

"You say, be my grandson's wife."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Brother Cheng, keep working hard."

Zhou Song knows what he has been insisting on all these years.

"Zhang Chengnian, that's not what I want."

"Ok, I know."

"You only think about your career and making money." Zhou Song's voice was serious: "But what about your body, can your stomach grow a second one?"

"Xiao Liu, don't be angry, I will eat well in the future."

He spoke patiently, with an inexplicable gentleness in his tone.

Zhou Song's heart trembled, and he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel: "Be careful, I'm driving."

Zhang Chengnian sat beside her and looked at her silently. This time, he really came back.

Zhou Song has clearly noticed the changes in Zhang Chengnian. He has a mature and confident aura. Compared with the deep and forbearing in his early twenties, the 30-year-old seems to be a little more energetic than his youth.

He chose to leave when he had nothing in his career.

Zhang Chengnian is such a person, he left her in the sunshine and faced the wind and rain alone.

During these years of complaints, she seldom thought of him. The moment they met, she saw that everything was fine with him, and all her grievances disappeared.

After sending Zhou Song to his destination, Zhang Chengnian had to leave.

His schedule was also in a rush, and at this juncture, work was already delayed a lot.

"Xiao Liu, I will be busy during this time."

Zhang Chengnian swallowed the words, wait for me.

She had been waiting for many years, and this time it was him.

He turned to say: "I'm done, I'll come to see you."

Zhou Song warned worriedly: "Driving long distances, don't drive tired."

"it is good."

"Work and eat well."

"must."

Several students passing by came to say hello to Zhou Song, and asked curiously when they saw the man in the car, "Your boyfriend?"

Zhou Song glanced at him, and introduced in a very calm tone: "My brother."

After hearing this, Zhang Chengnian knocked on the steering wheel and glanced at her with straight eyes.

Parking at the school gate is not allowed for a long time, Zhou Song waved goodbye: "Goodbye, brother."

His expression was secretive: "Goodbye, Xiao Liu."

At this moment, he couldn't stay by her side, and there were more important matters, so he had to leave without stopping.

Zhang Chengnian looked at the smaller and smaller figure in the rearview mirror until it melted into a black spot before looking away.

This year, Zhang Chengnian was 30 years old. With this program, he became famous in the industry.

Amidst the rolling dividends, he started his entrepreneurial journey.

When the old man asked him if he wanted to do it alone, Zhang Chengnian refused without hesitation.

Because he knows it's not time yet.

And now, the opportunity has come.

The golden age belonging to Zhang Chengnian has also come.

In an office building in Shenzhen, the signboard of Chengyuan Design Office was shining brightly, and Zhang Chengnian pulled up his own design team.

Although he was busy with work, he would occasionally call Zhou Song when he was free, and the two often fell asleep while chatting.

It's not good to develop this habit. If one day he doesn't receive a call from him, Zhou Song will suffer from insomnia and can't fall asleep easily.

This is how it is when we are separated by two places, missing each other, telling each other about the ordinary daily life, there is no warm I miss you or I love you, but there is love between the lines.

They tacitly agreed not to pierce the layer of window paper, and Zhang Chengnian planned to wait for his work arrangements to be similar.

But plans can never keep up with change.
