1987 My Era

Chapter 186, Run Da Baozi (Subscribe!)

His beloved is going on a long journey tomorrow, so Chen Zijin cheered her up and stayed up till late at night before falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, before dawn, she struggled to wake up again to the sound of the alarm clock and reached out to shake Li Heng: "Honey, get up, we have to catch the plane."

It is said that one must close one's eyes seven times and grit one's teeth eight times, and one must advance nine times and ten times to get tired. Last night, Li Heng relied on his youthful body to reach his best condition ever, making Zijin beg for mercy again and again. But even so, he still slept soundly better than Chen Zijin in the end.

He asked confusedly: "Wife, what time is it?"

Chen Zijin said considerately, "It's 6:20, and the alarm just rang for the second time. I saw you sleeping soundly for the first time, so I didn't call you."

Hearing this, Li Heng's consciousness instantly became clear. He jumped up, held Zijin's face with both hands, pecked her fiercely, and then did not dare to delay any more. He dressed and washed in one go.

The timing was just right. When the two of them checked out and came out of the hostel, Chen Xiaomi drove up in a Jeep 212.

Seeing that Li Heng was confused, Chen Zijin whispered in his ear: "I'll ask my aunt to send you off."

Li Heng hugged her tightly, feeling warm in his heart. His wife is really the best. She cares about him all the time.

As they were in a hurry, the three of them had a quick breakfast at a roadside stall and then rushed to the airport.

capital Airport.

When they parted, Chen Zijin was very reluctant to let go. With tears in her eyes, she held his hand tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Li Heng reached out to help her comb her hair and comforted her gently: "I said I would come to see you on New Year's Day, but it's not even March yet."

"Really? I'm just worried that you're too busy and don't have time." Regardless of the presence of his aunt, Chen Zijin tiptoed to kiss him before reluctantly letting go.

Li Heng promised: "I will come here regardless of whether I have time or not. Besides, my father should still be recuperating in Beijing at that time given his poor health."

Chen Zijin hummed and looked at his aunt.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaomi handed over three bags: "These are some local specialties of Beijing. Your Uncle Chen and Zijin picked them especially for you."

The three bags represent three portions, and the last portion must be Chen Xiaomi's. Li Heng took it and said thank you sincerely.

Chen Xiaomi said: "I will keep an eye on the matter of the Siheyuan and let you know if there is any news."

Li Heng thought about it and gave the two girls the landline number of Yu Shuheng's home: "This is the number of my university teacher's home, and he is also my neighbor. You can call me if you have any questions."

"Okay." Chen Xiaomi memorized the number and decisively took a few steps back, leaving the last space for the two of them.

Without any surprise, the two hugged each other. After a long time, Chen Zijin let him go: "Go quickly, the airport broadcast is urging you."

"Okay, take good care of yourself."

"Uh-huh."

Li Heng took his luggage, completed some formalities and went to the waiting airport.

Inside the jeep.

After the car drove a few miles forward, Chen Xiaomi suddenly said, "My sister-in-law almost lost her temper last night."

Why was he so angry? Chen Zijin knew.

Chen Xiaomi asked: "Do you want to go home with me now?"

Chen Zijin looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the car and said, "No, aunt, just take me back to Renmin University."

Chen Xiaomi glanced at her niece in the rearview mirror. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival. The Zhong and Chen families had a rare gathering. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin showed up and seduced Zijin away. She insisted on coming out to accompany Li Heng.

Zhong Lan was so angry at the time that if there hadn't been so many elders present, the mother and daughter would probably have started a fight. In the end, it was Mr. Chen who relented and Zhong Lan gave in.

Even though he gave in, Zhong Lan was still holding on to the anger in his heart, which might explode someday.

In fact, people are so strange. In the past, few people in the Chen family really respected Li Heng, so they didn’t care much about his behavior and attitude.

Now, Li Heng has emerged as a rising star and is soaring to fame. "To Live" and "Cultural Journey" have made him famous. He has carved out a path for himself in the domestic literary world and has become a literary giant.

In the past, the royalties of "To Live" were criticized by many media and critics, but since the publication of "Cultural Journey", those noisy voices have suddenly become much weaker, and many older generations have been impressed by his hard power and no longer publicly sing against him.

This is a typical example of what happens when a person's achievements reach a certain level. The voices of opposition disappear, the road ahead becomes bright, and all you see are good people and good words.

The same goes for the Chen family. If Li Heng was considered a figure in their eyes after writing "To Live", then after "Cultural Journey" came out, he had become a "big shot" and worthy of their attention.

The impressions of the other members of the Chen family on Li Heng were gradually changing, but Zhong Lan was the exception. She was very angry now, angry that Li Heng had not visited the Chen family during his several visits to the capital.

Fine! It's fine if you don't come to visit. Our Chen family has a high threshold, so we don't need you to come. But it's not a big deal if you don't come. You always sleep with my daughter, and my daughter always comes to my house to be slept with. She still does this even when her family members come. This directly breaks her defense and makes her lose face.

Yesterday, just last night, Zhong Lan was so angry that she wanted to come to the hostel to meet Li Heng, but she was stopped by her family and three sisters-in-law. Otherwise, there would have been a bloody storm.

After this incident, the Zhong family, that is, Zhong Lan’s maternal family, all remembered Li Heng.

Chen Xiaomi said: "Today is Friday, why don't you go home after school this afternoon?"

Chen Zijin didn't insist this time, "Yes, I want to go back to accompany my grandparents."

Chen Xiaomi nodded with relief. She was now afraid that her eldest niece would take advantage of Li Heng's success and run away wholeheartedly, and then the Chen family would become a joke.

After getting a clear attitude, Chen Xiaomi changed the subject and asked, "Did you ask Li Heng this time why he went to Shanghai?"

As for this issue, Mr. Chen stopped talking halfway last time, which made her feel itchy.

Hearing this, Chen Zijin couldn't help but think of Xiao Han in his mind, "I didn't ask."

Chen Xiaomi was surprised, "Such a big thing, why don't you ask?"

Chen Zijin said: "It's already a done deal, there's no point in asking. I believe he has his reasons for going to Shanghai, and besides, he didn't get into Peking University."

Chen Xiaomi turned her head to look at her eldest niece, opened her mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Li Heng was too tired last night and fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane. He slept comfortably for almost three hours before arriving in Changshi.

After leaving the airport, he first took a car to the Xiangya Hospital to buy some fruits and flowers, and then rushed to the ward according to the hospitalization information provided by Teacher Yu Shuheng.

Room 3, 305rd floor, Inpatient Department.

The small glass window was covered with newspapers from the inside, and Li Heng reached out and knocked on the door.

"dong dong dong"

After knocking once, the door opened from the inside, revealing the figure of the high school music teacher, who was also the wife of the dean of studies. She and the English teacher had always had a close relationship and they often ate with each other when they were in school.

"Huh? Li Heng, why are you here?" The music teacher was particularly surprised to see Li Heng appear at the door.

"I came to see Teacher Wang." Li Heng said with a smile.

"Come in, come in, you are so thoughtful." The music teacher helped him take his things while opening all the doors.

At this time, the English teacher was lying on the hospital bed, and there was a young woman guarding beside him. Li Heng recognized this young woman, who was the English teacher's cousin and had been to the school many times.

Smiling and nodding to his cousin as a greeting, Li Heng quickly came to the bedside, lowered his head to observe the English teacher, "Teacher, you have lost weight." "Why are you here? Aren't you going to class?" Seeing him, the English teacher instantly became much more energetic.

Li Heng took the stool handed over by his cousin, said thank you, and grinned: "What's the point of class? How can it be more important than the teacher's health? After Teacher Yu told me that you were sick and hospitalized, I couldn't eat and ran over here."

The English teacher sneered, "Haha, I received a call from Shuheng last night, and she mentioned you in the middle. You clearly went to Beijing to have fun, and people who didn't know could really be fooled by you."

Li Heng was speechless, "Then why are you asking me if I can attend the class?"

The English teacher said, "I'll just test you."

Li Heng glanced at the ward and said, "Aren't you hospitalized? How can you call me?"

The music teacher next to him explained: "Every evening at 6 o'clock, Teacher Yu from Shanghai will call the nurses' station."

Then the music teacher added, "Teacher Yu will be here around 7 o'clock tonight."

Today is Thursday, and it seems that Teacher Yu is early. Li Heng thought about this and asked with concern: "Teacher, how do you feel?"

The English teacher put on his glasses and said, "It's not bad. You're not going to die. Did you go to find a hotel?"

Li Heng shook his head: "No, I couldn't wait to get in as soon as I got off the car, so I didn't have time."

The English teacher said, "Knowing that you and Shuheng are coming, your music teacher has already booked a hotel for you. It's not far away. Ask her to take you there."

Li Heng said: "Don't worry, I'll accompany you first."

The music teacher interrupted, "Okay, you two can chat while I go get some water."

My cousin followed me out and went to the cafeteria to buy lunch.

As soon as the door was closed, the room instantly became quiet. After looking at each other for a while, Li Heng sighed: "Teacher, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you're like this. I was really scared when I heard it."

"I'm not Song Yu, Xiao Han, or Chen Zijin. Why are you so worried?" The English teacher habitually spoke in this sarcastic tone.

But Li Heng only used one move to make her furious, "Teacher, why don't you just resign?"

"Get out of here!" The English teacher cursed, then stared at him with a half-smile: "Why? Even beautiful girls like Song Yu and Xiao Han can't satisfy you?"

Li Heng answered the question irrelevantly, took an apple, peeled it and asked, "By the way, what time will the surgery be tomorrow?"

The English teacher said, "10 a.m."

Li Heng asked: "Can we still eat now?"

The English teacher looked up at the alarm clock and said, "The doctor told me not to eat anything after 5pm."

After peeling the apple, Li Heng ate most of it and cut a few small slices for her.

While eating apple slices, the English teacher asked, "How was college?"

Li Heng said casually: "That's it. You are not used to the absence of a teacher. No one poured me tea when I was writing."

"So you want me to quit my job and become your water-serving maid?" the English teacher sneered.

Li Heng waved his hands, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously. I can't afford an English teacher as a maid, it would ruin my reputation if it gets out."

"I'm glad to know this. If you take it seriously, I'll break your legs." The English teacher said this with sharp eyes and a serious look.

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "Teacher, you are still as fierce as ever, you don't look sick at all."

Hearing this, the English teacher smiled slightly and suddenly asked curiously: "What was your first impression when you saw Shuheng?"

Li Heng recalled for a while, "My first impression was that she was a cold beauty, my second was that she was gentle and soft, and my third was that she was very profound. Such a strong scholarly aura is very rare, which is a big plus."

The English teacher curled her lips and said, "You are not hypocritical."

Li Heng replied: "We are all adults and we know each other well. I have finally come here, so there is no need to do anything nonsense. It is meaningless."

The English teacher asked, "How does it compare to Song Yu?"

Li Heng said: "It's hard to compare. In terms of pure beauty, Song Yu is not inferior to anyone."

The English teacher agreed with this view, "It is said in No. 1 Middle School that Xiao Han and Song Yu are compared. I personally prefer Song Yu's orchid-like temperament."

Li Heng said: "Don't sow discord between them. In my opinion, they each have their own merits."

The English teacher chuckled, "You are not speaking from the heart. If the Chen family wasn't in Beijing, I guarantee you would go to Peking University."

Li Heng tilted his head: "Teacher, why are you so concerned about my woman?"

English was so angry that his chest swelled and his clothes were about to tear apart. He threw a half-eaten apple slice at him, "Get out! Now!"

Li Heng picked up the apple slices and threw them into the trash can. "It's not good for your health if you're going to have surgery and you're still so angry."

As he said this, he took out a new piece and handed it to her.

The English teacher took it and suddenly reminded: "Don't set your sights on Shuheng, or you will be in trouble in the future."

Li Heng was stunned: "This is the third time you've reminded me. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought about it that way at all."

The English teacher shook her head. "Shuheng told me in the letter that you two are neighbors and you will have many opportunities to meet and get along with each other in the future. You don't know how charming she is. I have seen it in college. Most of the boys who have been in contact with her for a long time have secretly fallen in love with her, and some individual tutors are not excluded."

"I do believe this to some extent, but don't worry about me, teacher. I have seen beautiful women before."

"It's true that you've seen beautiful women, but you're not a good person."

"I don't like to hear that. Why am I not a good person?"

"One step on three, isn't that rotten enough?"

Li Heng's face twitched, "Don't bring up my feelings, otherwise we won't be able to get along happily."

The English teacher put the last apple slice in his hand into his mouth and reached out to him, "You have the habit of carrying manuscripts with you. Take them out and let me indulge you."

"Really, there are 12 manuscripts in total, enough for you to kill time today." Li Heng picked up the bag and took out three chapters first.

As soon as the manuscript was received, the English teacher became obsessed with it and ignored him, leaving him to the dust.

After a while, the music teacher and cousin came back.

One of them poured him a glass of water.

The other one gave him a box of food with a rich variety of dishes, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
