1987 My Era

Chapter 306, How do I compare to you? New book (please subscribe!)

The owner of the ski resort not only sent us various cured game, but also some fresh ones.

In addition, there is domestic pork and various popular vegetables, and all the ingredients are available.

After Lao Fan left, Li Heng rolled up his sleeves and started cooking dinner.

Yu Shuheng was not idle. She helped him and helped him to light the fire.

Li Heng was a little surprised: "Why are they still burning firewood here?"

What he meant was, why would someone like Teacher Yu look for a house that burns wood?
Yu Shuheng understood his thoughts: "Burning firewood in winter is warm and has a smoky air. I like this feeling. Don't you burn firewood in your hometown?"

Li Heng replied: "My hometown is in the middle of the Xuefeng Mountains, where there is no shortage of wood. We all burn firewood on a daily basis, and only one or two families in the village burn coal. And we don't burn coal briquettes very often. We only use a few to stay overnight in the winter or to boil Chinese medicine."

He asked curiously: "Teacher, can you burn firewood?"

Yu Shuheng said: "I've had it a few times, so I know a little bit."

Hearing this, Li Heng became worried and went around the stove to check.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it. Once I looked at it, I almost fainted. I subconsciously snatched the tongs from her hand and took the wood out of the stove while complaining:
"Oh my god! How can you light a fire like that? How can you fill the stove up so full? You are just a bunch of nerds, you don't have any common sense, you are so wicked, there is no oxygen for combustion."

Yu Shuheng glanced at him, smiled slightly, and let his saliva spray on her face, just sitting there without moving.

Li Heng stopped only after removing at least half of the wood: "Blackheart fire produces a lot of smoke and ash, and its firepower is poor. I only need four pieces of wood as a base, and I can add more or less debris later according to my needs."

Yu Shuheng carefully observed his micro-expressions. The way this little boy scolded others was quite interesting. She had rarely been scolded since she was a child. However, he had ridiculed her twice, and this was the second time.

After a while, Li Heng returned the pliers to her and said, "Teacher, do you understand?"

"Now you know to call me teacher. You didn't give me any face at all just now," said Yu Shuheng.

Li Heng chuckled and pretended not to hear, then went back to the stove to prepare dinner.

After cooking two plates of wild game, Yu Shuheng suddenly asked, "I heard that you have egg custard for the New Year?"

"Yes, you heard it from Teacher Wang, right?" Li Heng said.

Yu Shuheng nodded, "Can you?"

"That's not difficult, it just takes time. How about I make a whole bowl? It tastes good both when eaten dry or in hot pot." Li Heng asked.

Yu Shuheng looked expectant.

Just as he was chopping pork to make egg rolls, Zhou Shihe came out of the bathroom with her hands full of washed clothes. After hanging them up, she came over and asked, "Li Heng, do you need my help?"

Li Heng waved his hand: "Since you have finished your shower, stay away from the kitchen. This is a wood stove with lots of ash. Don't you see that Mr. Yu has grown a beard like a cat?"

Zhou Shihe looked towards Teacher Yu and chuckled the next second.

Yu Shuheng subconsciously touched her face and asked, "Is there a lot of pot ash on your face?"

Zhou Shihe smiled and nodded.

Seeing that Mr. Yu was about to stand up to look in the mirror, Li Heng stopped him immediately: "Hey, don't run away. If you run away, who will keep the fire burning for me? Wait until you finish cooking, then look in the mirror. The more beard you have, the more beautiful you will be."

Yu Shuheng was pushed back by him. She looked into his eyes again and again, but she managed to hold back her mysophobia and didn't have an outburst.

"Turn on a low heat, the egg dumplings will easily burn if the fire is too big." He ordered.

Yu Shuheng returned a piece of firewood.

Li Heng said: "Smaller."

Yu Shuheng returned another piece of wood.

Li Heng looked at the small amount of oil bubbling rapidly in the pot and ordered, "Slow down."

Yu Shuheng returned the last of the firewood.

But Li Heng still felt it was too big, "Teacher, make it a little smaller."

Yu Shuheng raised her head and said, "There's no more firewood in the stove."

Hearing this, Li Heng ran over to take a look, then picked up a small shovel, shoveled out two shovels of red charcoal, and joked:

"Teacher, it's a good thing you were born in a wealthy family. If you were in the countryside, wow! My goodness, you wouldn't know how to do farm work at all, and it would be difficult for you to get married."

Yu Shuheng stared at his profile without saying anything.

Zhou Shihe, who was standing at the kitchen door, heard this, looked at him, then looked at her, lowered his head and smiled slightly, then continued to peel the garlic in his hand.

After returning the red charcoal, Li Heng realized that the teacher's face was as cold as an iceberg, shivering with cold, and immediately threw a staircase over:
"Of course, it's impossible for our rural family to have someone as beautiful as Teacher Yu.

If you really appear, hey! I guarantee that all families will scramble to have you, they won’t have to do anything, they will just eat and drink well and treat you like an ancestor.”

When Yu Shuheng heard the word "beautiful", the names of Chen Zijin and Xiao Han came to her mind.

But strictly speaking, Chen Zijin is from Beijing, and no one in Xiao Han's family has a rural household registration, so they cannot be considered rural people.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, with beef hotpot, egg rolls, wild rabbit and pheasant.

Finally, there is a bowl of cabbage hearts.

Li Heng brought the last Chinese cabbage to the table and asked Yu Shuheng, "Teacher, this Chinese cabbage is very tender. Is it from other places?"

"It should be. Harbin's food is basically frozen on this day."

Yu Shuheng said, and asked the two: "Would you like some wine?"

Li Heng asked: "What kind of wine do you have?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Only Erguotou."

Li Heng was puzzled: "Teacher likes to drink red wine the most, why did you only bring Erguotou?"

Yu Shuheng said, "None of this Erguotou is mine. It was given to me by someone else. But this kind of weather is suitable for drinking this. Come, bring the cups over. One cup per person."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng and Zhou Shihe both handed over their cups.

Drinking wine, eating hot pot, and taking a bite of juicy fried tofu, Yu Shuheng said: "Actually, I really yearn for the farm life, it's down-to-earth."

Li Heng said: "It's easy. Convince your family and then marry a country boy. Then you can live a happy life."

Zhou Shihe glanced at him strangely and remained silent.

Yu Shuheng just smiled and didn't respond.

Li Heng continued, "In fact, you may yearn for it, but if you really live in the countryside, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea will be enough to keep you busy all your life, so there is no time for poetry and distant places. Teacher, I will give you a copy of Fortress Besieged later, please read it carefully."

Yu Shuheng said: “I have read it.”

Li Heng said: "Then what are you still yearning for?"

Yu Shuheng said seriously: "It would be nice to stay for a while occasionally."

We chatted and the meal lasted for about an hour. It was already late, but we could occasionally see a few people laughing and playing in the white snow.

After taking a shower, Li Heng came over and sat next to Zhou Shihe, and asked with concern: "You didn't talk much today, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, just a little tired." Zhou Shihe said.

Li Heng asked: "You've never exercised like this before?"

Zhou Shihe recalled: "It's not that there haven't been any, but after high school, it rarely happened."

Li Heng said: "Studying and practicing piano?"

Zhou Shihe nodded, "I also like reading."

Teacher Yu was taking a shower at this time. Li Heng was afraid of making things awkward, so he tried to find a conversation: "Which book do you like best?"

Zhou Shihe looked him in the eye, smiled and said, "To Live."

Li Heng raised his eyelids and said, "Miss Zhou, please speak human language."

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, "One Hundred Years of Solitude and Moby Dick."

Li Heng was very surprised: "It turned out to be these two world classics. I thought you liked books like Jane Eyre."

Zhou Shihe said: "I have read Jane Eyre twice and I like it quite a lot."

They both loved reading, so they had a common topic again. For the next half an hour, they chatted like old friends while sitting by the fire. Occasionally, their eyes met, but they would look away after a few seconds without leaving a trace.

During the time, Li Heng also baked a glutinous rice cake, which was baked until it was puffy and golden brown on both sides. He asked her, "Have you ever eaten charcoal-grilled ones?"

“No, we used to fry them in oil or cook them in sweet wine,” said Zhou Shihe.

Li Heng broke one for her and said, "I think glutinous rice cake should be eaten roasted, it has the most original flavor. You can try it, if you like it, eat it, if not, return it to me."

"it is good."

Zhou Shihe didn't hesitate to tear off a piece of leftovers and put it in his mouth, then said, "Hmm, it's delicious."

Li Heng smiled and said, "I'm just a foodie. How can something that's approved by a foodie taste bad?"

After a while, Teacher Yu came out.

He asked, "Teacher, what took you so long? If I hadn't heard you making a noise, I would have wanted to knock on the door several times."

Yu Shuheng sat on the other side: "There was so much dust that I took two showers and washed my clothes twice."

Li Heng looked at her hair: "How many times have you washed your hair?"

Zhou Shihe looked over there.

Facing the gazes of the two, Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, "Also twice."

Li Heng brought a new glutinous rice cake over and used iron tongs to bake it:
"Hey, I don't know what to say to our teacher Yu. Forget it, I'll cook tomorrow's meal by myself. I'm tired of watching you take a bath and wash clothes."

Yu Shuheng smiled, looked out the window and said, "It's snowing again."

Li Heng had noticed it a long time ago. "Yes, I've lived for so long, but this is the first time I've seen such heavy snow."

Yu Shuheng joked: "So long? You're just over 18."

Li Heng said: "I may look young but I am old at heart."

That night, the three of them stayed by the fire and chatted, a rare warm scene. It was not until after 1 a.m. that they went back to their rooms to rest.

It was my first time sleeping on a kang. It was so warm and I couldn’t get used to it at all. If my eyelids hadn’t been fighting, I would have probably kept my eyes open until dawn.

...

The next day.

When he got up, the two women had already washed up and watched him make breakfast.

Li Heng asked Zhou Shihe, "Do you still dare to ski today?"

Zhou Shihe said it was slippery.

Yu Shuheng said: "I got you a new coach, also a woman."

Zhou Shihe didn't refuse.

The three of them stayed at the ski resort for more than two hours in the morning. Li Heng was very excited and stayed with Teacher Yu the whole time, challenging the difficult slopes.

Take a break at noon and continue in the afternoon.

However, the two of them did not go out for fun in the afternoon. Instead, they accompanied Miss Zhou and took her out for a leisurely play. They laughed and enjoyed themselves all the way, which was a different kind of fun.

"Give me your hand, I'll take you to a challenge." Li Heng said to Zhou Shihe.

"Yeah." Zhou Shihe gave him her hand, and the two of them skated hand in hand while gesturing to Teacher Yu who was taking pictures.

Li Heng shouted: "Move in unison, move in unison, watch me."

"Okay." Zhou Shihe couldn't learn his funny ways, but in order not to spoil the fun, he still imitated his movements.

Yu Shuheng has the best skiing skills and is more than capable of chasing the two and taking photos.

Later it was Li Heng's turn, but he was not as good. He could just about take pictures. He fell several times and once even bumped into an old man.

The uncle grabbed his arm and jokingly said, "Why? Young man, are you attracted to my daughter and want to get close to her in this way? Come on, it's great, let's have dinner together."

Li Heng quickly waved his hand and pointed in the direction of Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe: "Uncle, I have a girlfriend. Look, she's so beautiful."

The uncle looked over and asked: "Which one is your partner? The older one? The younger one?"

Li Heng blurted out: "Hey, uncle, please let go, big or small is fine."

The surrounding is hilarious.

Yu Shuheng: “.”

Zhou Shihe: “.”

The three of them had a great time after playing for two days in a row, but there was nothing they could do as the third rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala was about to begin, so they had to hurry back.

"Have you packed up everything?" Teacher Yu asked.

Li Heng and Zhou Shihe checked it each and confirmed that there was no problem.

Teacher Yu wrapped her scarf around her neck and opened the door: "Let's go."

Li Heng looked at Zhou Shihe, "Miss, you go first, I'll cover you."

Zhou Shihe smiled brightly and followed him out.

They changed trains to the airport and then changed trains again in Beijing. It took the three of them more than five hours to get home.

As soon as she entered the house, Yu Shuheng said, "Let's go eat first, and then rehearse "The Original Scenery of Hometown" in the afternoon."

There would be a rehearsal tomorrow, and the three of them had no objection.

On February 2, Li Heng, Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe rushed to the CCTV studio to participate in the third rehearsal.

After the rehearsal, Li Heng invited Feng Gong, Zhu Shimao, Lao Zhao and others to have a drink.

February 2th was the day of the fourth rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

In the studio, he met a classmate, Liu Yue.

However, the girl's attention was focused on Zhou Shihe behind the piano, and she didn't come over to say hello. This made him feel relieved.

Honestly speaking, he really didn't want to deal with this girl. Her train of thought was always so strange, and she always said things that surprised people.

After 3pm, the rehearsal was over. After watching Li Heng, Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng leave, Liu Yue went backstage and asked Huang Zhaoyi:

"Auntie, you guys haven't talked to each other in all these rehearsals?"

Huang Zhaoyi hummed and removed her makeup in front of the mirror.

Liu Yue was anxious for her: "He is like a piece of wood and doesn't move. Can't you find a chance to take the initiative?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "He has no shortage of women around him."

Thinking of Zhou Shihe's stunning beauty and Teacher Yu's perfect scholarly temperament, Liu Yue wanted to say something, but ended up being speechless.

Seeing that her niece rarely said anything to provoke him, Huang Zhaoyi said, "I saw another woman of his a while ago."

Liu Yue asked: "Who? From Peking University? Or Renmin University?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "I didn't investigate where he studied, but he was with Li Heng's family, holding hands with his mother, and they had an extremely close relationship."

Liu Yue opened her mouth wide, quite surprised: "Is that so? He really dares to have two relationships at the same time?
I was just guessing before, I didn't expect he would go this far, one is hugging and hugging in Shanghai, and the other has openly met with his family in Beijing, haha! He is worse than I thought. "

Huang Zhaoyi glanced at her niece through the mirror and didn't respond.

Liu Yue asked: "Is she pretty?"

Huang Zhaoyi said, "Beautiful."

Liu Yue asked: "Compared with you, my aunt?"

Huang Zhaoyi recalled and pondered, "Is she pretty or not? To what extent is she pretty? Just like Xiao Wang in your school, there is no clear boundary or distinction between high and low. Everyone has their own preferences and the criteria for judging are also different.

Unless you meet a woman like Zhou Shihe, you can achieve a unified aesthetic."

Liu Yue had been observing Zhou Shihe today. Even though she didn't admit it, she knew in her heart how much damage that kind of woman could do to a man. She continued to ask, "How does she compare to you?"

Huang Zhaoyi smiled and asked, "Why do you have to keep asking?"

Liu Yue said: "I'm just curious, that guy doesn't even like you, who on earth is the one who caught his eye?

Do I have to be as beautiful as Xiao Han?
How many people of this beauty can you see in real life? Among my peers, I have only seen three in my life. "

"Oh?"

Huang Zhaoyi said, "Where did you see the third one?"

Liu Yue said: "When I went to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an during the summer vacation, I saw a passerby."

Huang Zhaoyi nodded. Her niece was always proud and arrogant. It must be amazing that she could say that:
"She's called Chen Zijin. I can't tell you exactly how beautiful she is, but judging by her looks, she should be about the same as Xiao Wang from your school."

Liu Yue pursed her lips, "Are you about the same as me? That's indeed beautiful enough! But why doesn't Li Heng look at you straight in the eye?"

Huang Zhaoyi's hands paused as she removed her makeup, looking dejected: "Aunt is too old. If she were 10 years younger, I might still have a chance."

Liu Yue disagreed: "You just love him too much and have an inferiority complex. In my opinion, everyone has weaknesses. He is so lustful, you can definitely treat the symptoms. Your body is ripe, how many men would not be envious?"

Huang Zhaoyi remained silent for a long time before changing the subject and asking, "Why did you come to the capital?"

Liu Yue said, "I'm going to the United States. My aunt is taking me to visit universities there. If conditions are ripe, I might go abroad to study in advance. Mom happened to be in Beijing for something, so I came to see you and say goodbye to you."

Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Going abroad next year?"

Liu Yue said: "I have this idea."

Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Are you not coming back for the New Year this year?"

"There are still a few days before the New Year. We'll see how the situation develops. But my aunt wants to come back to celebrate the New Year," said Liu Yue.

Huang Zhaoyi packed up, stood up and said, "Come on, auntie will take you to have a meal."

It was a bit of a coincidence that she met Li Heng and his companions at a Shandong restaurant before the rehearsal for the first time. This time, she went to Quanjude and Huang Zhaoyi met Li Heng and his companions again.

But today, in addition to Li Heng and the other two, Xu Suyun and Jiaojiao are also there.

He won more than 1000 yuan playing cards last time, and Quanjude agreed to treat him. A person must fulfill his promise to be trustworthy.

In his previous life, Li Heng had a good character in the eyes of others, that is, he kept his word. So he had many friends. When they met at the door, Jiaojiao saw Huang Zhaoyi first, and immediately took out her camera and said happily:

"Look, that's Huang Zhaoyi. Our whole family likes her very much. Suyun, can you take a picture for me? I want to see if I can take a picture with her?"

Everyone in the circle knew that Jiaojiao loved drama. Xu Suyun took the camera and stood up.

Seeing that Jiaojiao came from Li Heng's side, Huang Zhaoyi naturally did not refuse. Instead, she was very friendly and cooperated to take three photos in a row.

Xu Suyun was no less enthusiastic and also took a group photo. Then she came back and asked Yu Shuheng:

"Shuheng, my mother told me that your grandmother really likes this actress and goes to the theater every month to watch her performance. Is that true?"

Li Heng and Zhou Shihe looked at Teacher Yu at the same time.

Yu Shuheng said calmly: "That was a few years ago. Now she is more obsessed with Huangmei Opera."

Li Heng: “.”

Zhou Shihe: “.”

The two of them were a little skeptical about what Teacher Yu said, but neither of them said it out loud.

Hearing this, Jiaojiao sighed: "Oh, I originally wanted to get to know each other and invite Huang Zhaoyi to come sit with me, but now that you say that, forget it."

There are quite a lot of people dining here today, but luckily Teacher Yu has booked a private room so we don't have to squeeze in the hall outside.

Liu Yue glanced at Li Heng, Zhou Shihe and Teacher Yu, but didn't come over to say hello.

Li Heng and the other two naturally would not take the initiative to go over and greet them. After looking at each other, they went their separate ways.

Jiaojiao had a clear goal. As soon as she entered the box, she took the initiative to sit with Li Heng. She was even more relaxed when drinking. Not only did she actively urge him to drink, but one time a glass of wine accidentally spilled on Li Heng's thigh. The woman hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it, and accidentally touched somewhere with the tip of her finger like lightning.

A thought immediately flashed through Jiaojiao's mind: What a huge lump!
Yu Shuheng saw all of this and immediately said to Jiaojiao, "Li Heng is still a student and can't drink anymore. Let me change seats with you."

Jiaojiao pouted and didn't want to change, but when she saw Yu Shuheng's eyes getting colder and colder, she changed reluctantly.

Everyone present is not blind, so they all know what just happened?
Zhou Shihe glanced at Li Heng, then at Jiaojiao and Teacher Yu, and felt that this meal was really complicated.

Xu Suyun pulled Jiaojiao under the table, and then left the private room under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao understood and followed him out.

In a corner of the corridor outside, Xu Suyun seriously questioned Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, were you crazy just now? Don't you know that you are married?"

Jiaojiao didn't take it too seriously: "I don't want to cheat."

Xu Suyun asked: "Did you drink this glass of wine accidentally? Or did you do it on purpose?"

Jiaojiao wanted to cry but had no tears: "Who do you think I am? I was so careless."

Xu Suyun asked, "What's wrong with your hand? You stretched it so far out? Do you think no one saw it? Miss Zhou was on Li Heng's left, but she could see it clearly."

Jiaojiao said, "When I bent down just now, didn't I twist my foot?"

Xu Suyun asked: "Really?"

Jiaojiao said: "It's absolutely true!"

Xu Suyun looked at her coquettishly for a while, then said earnestly: "Others may not know it, but I don't know you, right?
You have been a bit of a pervert since you were a kid. Whenever you meet a good-looking boy, you like to touch his face in a joking way. But this Li Heng is different. Stop having these crooked ideas!"

Jiaojiao said: "I really don't have any."

Xu Suyun said, "I don't care whether you really don't have it or you're just pretending. I'm reminding you that Li Heng might be the man Shuheng cares about. You'd better know this in your mind."

"ah?!!!"

Jiaojiao was surprised and asked, "How did you see that?"

Xu Suyun said, "How did you know that? How else can you know that? You really don't know how many rules Shuheng has broken for Li Heng?"

Jiaojiao recalled the way her friend looked at her just now, which was colder than any time before, and she couldn't help but shudder:
"Isn't this Li Heng her student? How is that possible? She wants to keep the dragon whip for herself?"

Xu Suyun said: "After spending a few times together, Shuheng's behavior is indeed normal, but have you ever seen a couple living in the same room at her house?
Her family is most averse to this, saying it destroys feng shui.

But how many nights have Li Heng and Zhou Shihe lived in the same room? Not only did Shu Heng not feel strange, she even moved another mahogany bed in. "

Jiaojiao said: "Maybe Zhou Shihe is not simple?"

Xu Suyun nodded: "I don't deny Zhou Shihe's identity. But you know, Lao Fan and I have a very good relationship. The day before yesterday, he secretly told me that at the ski resort, Shuheng has been teaching Li Heng how to skate, and they didn't even hire a coach. Which man has ever enjoyed such treatment? You can think for yourself."

Jiaojiao was a little confused, with disbelief on her face, but she said, "This doesn't mean anything. What's wrong with taking care of your own students?"

Xu Suyun said: "It doesn't mean anything, but it won't hurt if you keep your distance."

Jiaojiao stopped talking. After returning to the private room, she immediately became much more well-behaved. Although she still communicated with Li Heng, the topic was limited to the Spring Festival Gala three days later.

After dinner, Jiaojiao returned to her home.

Xu Suyun did not leave, but followed the three people back to Yu Shuheng's home.

When they got a chance to spend time alone together, Yu Shuheng asked, "What did you say to Jiaojiao?"

Xu Suyun smiled and said, "She asked me if you were going to keep the dragon whip for yourself. She said you were not loyal enough!"

Yu Shuheng said: "Don't test him, he has a girlfriend."

Xu Suyun restrained her expression, "I know he has a girlfriend, but you are too good to him, aren't you? You have never been so attentive to a man."

Yu Shuheng said: "He is a student of my best friend, and I promised to take care of him."

Hearing this, Xu Suyun nodded, "His girlfriend should be pretty good, right?"

Yu Shuheng hummed indifferently.

After 7 o'clock in the evening, someone delivered a stack of letters.

Yu Shuheng took them, flipped through the covers, and handed four of them to Li Heng.

One of the letters was given to Zhou Shihe.

Li Heng glanced at the envelope in Zhou Shihe's hand and found that it was written by Mai Sui.

He didn't open the letter in public, but took it to his room.

4 letters, from: Song Yu, Zi Jin, Xiao Han and Mai Sui.

Looking at the envelope spread out on the table, Li Heng wondered: How could it be such a coincidence? If they didn't come, they didn't come? But they all came at once?
After taking a quick look, he subconsciously opened Song Yu's letter first.

Inside was a piece of letter paper with three paragraphs as usual:

In the first paragraph, she said that she had returned to her hometown, Dongting Lake, and that her several aunts had also returned with their families, and that this year's New Year's celebration was very lively.

In the second paragraph, grandma asked about him. She told the family about Li Heng's performance on the Spring Festival Gala, and everyone was looking forward to his performance.

Here, she omitted some words.

In fact, it wasn’t just her grandmother who asked her. Several elders in the Song family had specifically asked her: Are you dating Li Heng?
But Song Yu’s answer was: No, just good friends.

The other elders all looked regretful after hearing this. After all, who wouldn’t want a great writer like Li Heng?
Only Song Shi and Jiang Yue, who knew about it, breathed a sigh of relief. If their daughter said she didn't have a boyfriend, then she definitely didn't.

The couple trusts their daughter!
In the third paragraph of the letter, Song Yu said that she had met Mai Sui and praised her for becoming more and more beautiful. Together with Chen Lijun, the three girls went to No. 1 Middle School to visit Teacher Wang and the head teacher Wang Qi.

The content was short. Li Heng read it carefully twice, especially the third paragraph, and pondered over it word by word, but in the end he gained nothing.

I don’t know what the meeting between Song Yu and Mai Sui was like?

But since we can visit the teacher together, I think the situation is not that bad.

He kept Song Yu's letter and took Zi Jin's second letter.

There is no reason, I just miss her a little.

Chen Zijin's letter was quite thick, containing 4 sheets of paper.

According to handwriting analysis, two of them belong to my second sister Li Lan.

My second sister said four things:
The first thing was that the new house was too grand. Many people came to support it, and the banquet was very splendid, with a grand scale that overshadowed anyone in the surrounding area.

The second thing is that Chen Zijin stayed at Lao Li's house for a few nights. Tian Run'e specially asked him to stay. Zhong Lan unexpectedly did not come to make trouble, which surprised the villagers.

Li Lan's original words in the letter were: Brother, you have to be careful. Zijin is very sweet-mouthed, even more eloquent than me, and he made my parents lose their minds.

If you don't want the household registration book to be the final word, it's best to find an opportunity to bring Song Yu or Xiao Han to meet your mother and let them show their charm.

Seeing this, Li Heng was puzzled. His second sister blatantly betrayed Zijin, so why did they send their letters together?
What a pair of foxes!
The second thing is that my great-grandfather’s family returned home on the fourth day of the New Year and had received a telegram notification.

In addition, the second uncle has been talking nonsense recently, telling everyone that he is leaving. But he is very energetic. When the new house was burned, he drank more than a pound of liquor. Everyone said that he did not look like he was about to die.

But I think he might be dying. I had a dream the night before, in which I saw Second Uncle in a white robe being put into a coffin. People say dreams are the opposite of reality, but I always feel that it is true, because Second Uncle's eyes are waxy and cloudy, and it is a bit creepy when we are alone.

Seeing this, Li Heng paused. The second sister was famous for her daringness. She dared to walk to Zengjiaao alone at night, but she was inexplicably frightened by the second uncle's eyes?

Take a sip of water and continue reading.

The fourth thing Li Lan mentioned was: Xiao Han and Chen Zijin ran into each other when they went to the town to attend the market yesterday. Although they did not meet because of the crowd, the two women looked at each other with a strong sense of tension.

Brother, I have a feeling that World War III is about to start. If you have a chance, go out and leave two seeds before coming back. This town is not safe.

Li Heng was speechless. His second sister was getting more and more frivolous!
Then he thought depressedly, can Zijin and Xiaohan finally avoid it?
At this point, he agreed with his second sister's guess that the two women would definitely find a chance to meet.

I hope it’s not too early and I hope I can get back in time.

After reading his second sister's letter, he went on to read Zijin's.

Zijin was still the same as before, sharing the changes at home and his insights about the town. Every word revolved around him, and he never mentioned his encounter with Xiaohan.

Somehow?
Seeing this, Li Heng's thoughts were in a tizzy. He suddenly wanted to hold Zijin's hand and walk around the entire Shangwan Village. It was not for any other reason, not to show off, but just to do it.

When it comes to selflessness, there may be no one in the world who is more pure than her in her love for herself.

It’s not that Xiao Han and Song Yu’s feelings for him are impure, but no matter how much the Chen family suppressed them in their previous life, they couldn’t separate her from her determination to follow him. Although she always smiles in front of him, she has actually cried a lot behind his back.

Li Heng had run into him several times.

But Zijin acted like a spoiled child and refused to admit that she was crying. Every time this happened, she would burst into laughter and snuggle into his arms, saying sweet words and acting coquettishly to divert his attention.

After reading the letter, Li Heng leaned back on the sofa and was in a daze for an hour.

For a moment, he regretted not going to Beijing to study at university and not being with her.

But later, when I thought of Song Yu and Xiao Han, this regret slowly disappeared.

Going to Beijing was not the best choice. With Zijin around, not only would I be unable to develop a deep relationship with Song Yu, but it would also delay my pursuit of Xiao Han.

An hour later, the door opened a crack and Zhou Shihe quietly poked his head in. Seeing him staring at the ceiling in a daze, he deliberately looked up at the ceiling, but found nothing unusual.

After a moment's silence, Zhou Shihe walked in and called softly, "Li Heng."

Li Heng came to his senses and looked at her.

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Shihe said gently, "I cooked a pot of seafood porridge and fried a few dishes. Let's have a midnight snack together? Teacher Yu and Sister Xu are waiting for you."

Li Heng subconsciously asked: "What time is it?"

Zhou Shihe said: "It's past 9 o'clock. You've been in the room for almost 2 hours."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, and wanted to stand up, but he found his thighs were a little numb, so he sat back down, rubbing his legs and asking, "Was the letter from Mai Sui sent to you?"

"Yes," she said.

Li Heng thought for a while and asked, "How was her writing to you?"

Zhou Shihe looked at him strangely, "Did you have a fight?"

After asking the question, she felt that it was a pointless question. With Su Su's deep feelings for the man in front of her, it was impossible for her to quarrel with him.

Li Heng shook his head: "No, I'm just asking."

After looking at each other for a while, Zhou Shihe said, "There's nothing unusual. How about I give you the letter and you analyze it yourself?"

Li Heng quickly waved his hand: "No, I'm just asking casually, don't mind it."

Seeing him like this, Zhou Shihe asked, "Are you worried about her meeting Xiao Han?"

Li Heng shook his head again.

Zhou Shihe thought for a moment and asked, "Did you flirt with other girls in Shao City?"

Li Heng was startled. He didn't expect her to be so perceptive. "No."

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly: "I'm going to go out first, come and have some midnight snack."

Li Heng replied: "Okay."

The seafood porridge contained scallops, crabs and shrimps, and was very fresh. Yu Shuheng praised it for being delicious: "Shihe, who did you learn this from?"

Zhou Shihe said: "My mother is from Guangzhou, she taught me."

While eating seafood, several people discussed matters concerning the New Year.

Xu Suyun invited the three to her home to celebrate the New Year together.

But Li Heng, Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe discussed it and declined. The Spring Festival Gala would not end until after midnight, so how could they wait for three people that long during the New Year?

After dinner, Xu Suyun left and her family came to pick her up.

After seeing Youhao off and closing the door, Yu Shuheng sat back down and asked Li Heng, "Are you thinking about a new book?"

Li Heng looked up: "How did the teacher know?"

Yu Shuheng said, "I see you brought a lot of books and documents this time, all about the late Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang government, and the Republic of China. Are you planning to write a book on this subject?"

Li Heng nodded: "I have this idea."

Yu Shuheng asked: "When do you plan to start writing?"

Li Heng said: "I may start writing in the next two days. I plan to write 4 words first and hope to publish it in the February issue of Harvest magazine."

Zhou Shihe, who is usually quite quiet, was a little surprised. "After writing Cultural Journey, didn't you say you would take a break for two to three months? How come it's so soon?"

Li Heng smacked his lips. "I finished writing Cultural Journey in mid-December. Now it's mid-February, so it's been two months, right?"

Zhou Shihe was stunned, and then he realized that time had passed so quickly between the final exams and the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng restrained his expression and said seriously: "Is there anything you need to prepare? The teacher can help you."

Li Heng said: "The initial inspiration for this book came from the literature in Aunt Zhao Jing's study, which involved some local cultural history of the Guanzhong region. Then I combined some of my own ideas to come up with the final structure, but I always felt that something was missing."

Yu Shuheng asked: "What's missing?"

Li Heng pondered for a moment and said, "I need some county chronicles from the Guanzhong area. The more the better. If possible, it would be best if I could live there for a while."

Yu Shuheng said: "The county annals are easy to get. I can ask someone to get some for you. Are you sure you want to live there?"

Li Heng said: "Sure, it would be best if I could stay for half a month or a month."

Yu Shuheng asked: "When do you want to leave?"

Li Heng said, "Mr. Fu is getting married on the 10th of the first lunar month. There will be a social gathering on the Lantern Festival. You can leave anytime after the Lantern Festival."

Yu Shuheng was a man of action, and he immediately picked up the phone and said, "I'll call someone to get you some county annals. Do you have any specific places?"

Li Heng said: "The information in Aunt Zhao Jing's study covers a wide range, but the place where I got inspiration seems to be called Bailuyuan. Teacher, please help me search for the county annals of this place and the surrounding areas."

Yu Shuheng nodded and dialed the number.

Zhou Shihe watched this scene quietly. It was his first time witnessing the fundraising process for a great writer to write a book, and he felt it was a bit novel.

After two phone calls, one for the call and one for the answer, Yu Shuheng said to him, "The county annals will be delivered to you by tomorrow night at the earliest and the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Li Heng said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher."

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly. She had seen the video of her best friend Runwen accompanying him in writing. She didn’t think much of it at that time, but now that she was involved in it, she felt it was quite meaningful.

She instructed: "Leave Bai Luyuan's residence to me. Just focus on writing. The teacher will arrange the rest for you. Don't be distracted."

Li Heng responded "yes", very happy, secretly feeling that it was great to have a big thigh to hug!
He said: "Don't live in a place that is too special, and focus on being down-to-earth."

Yu Shuheng nodded and kept it in mind.

After 11 o'clock in the evening, as Teacher Yu was a little sleepy, the three of them ended their conversation and went back to their rooms.

After watching the teacher enter the master bedroom, Li Heng said to Zhou Shihe: "Let's go to the room too."

Zhou Shihe agreed, got up and followed him to the second bedroom.

After closing the door, he asked, "Comrade Shihe, are you sleepy now?"

Zhou Shihe shook his head and looked at him.

Li Heng pointed to the two letters on the table and said, "There are still two letters that I haven't finished reading."

"Well, take a look."

As he spoke, Zhou Shihe took off his cotton slippers and got on the bed, then he picked up "Jane Eyre" from the bedside table and started reading it.

Shortly after opening the book, she suddenly poked half of her head out from behind the book and asked, "Is this book a gift from Teacher Yu?"

Li Heng understood what she meant by asking, because the words "Shen Xin" were written on the title page, and some passages in the book were also marked with insights.

He nodded: "Yes, my teacher gave it to me half a month ago."

Zhou Shihe asked: "Have you turned it over?"

Li Heng stretched and replied vaguely: "Well, Comrade Shihe, you don't care about this problem. I have been with you every day for the past half month, sleeping under your nose, do you think I will turn over?"

After saying that, he was stunned, then turned his head and slowly looked at her.

The two of them retreated as soon as their eyes met. Zhou Shihe pouted her lips slightly and retracted her head behind the book, hiding herself tightly for a moment.

At the end of the last chapter, I read a lot of recommendations for the next book from the big guys. I am very grateful to March. Many of the recommendations from the big guys are very useful, but I can’t write them all at once. After all, the timeline is long. I will write them slowly later. Thank you!
