April.
Spring is in the air.
Song Shengsheng found a job after the spring. He worked in an old tailor's shop at the corner of the alley, altering clothes for people. He also learned how to make cheongsam from the old master.
These days, it’s not convenient to wear cheongsam when going out.
In the past, she would be regarded as the eldest daughter of a capitalist family.
However, she made one for herself, but only tried it on twice at home and didn't dare wear it out.
Moreover, a lot of things have happened in the past few months, some people have died, some have fallen.
Like the calm before the storm.
Song Shengsheng has gained some weight in the past few months in Xicheng, and her cheeks have become visibly rounder and smoother. She has also learned how to buy meat on the black market, and she does it almost every day.
Pork, pheasant, and the rare lamb.
The price is a little more expensive, but I don’t mind.
All the money she spent was the salary Fu Cheng gave her before, so she could afford it.
Song Shengsheng has taken good care of herself, and her small clothes are a bit tight for her, but she still looks slim and not fat.
I was born with a small frame, and I look better with a little flesh.
It's the kind of beauty that comes from having abundant energy and blood.
Even though she seldom went out, there were still enthusiastic neighbors who wanted to introduce her to someone. There were also young and talented unmarried men in this alley who took a fancy to her and asked her mother to go to their homes to act as a matchmaker.
The mother was somewhat reluctant to let her son marry a widow.
And it’s not a good thing if the partner is too beautiful.
"Change someone else. Her neighbor, Fen'er, said that both of them had miserable lives. Their husbands died."
"Although superstition is not allowed nowadays, it is not safe to say that you will bring bad luck to your husband."
The son, who usually accepted everything, was tough at this moment: "It's okay, Mom, I'm tough."
"She had someone before her, and you don't mind?!"
Men, although they can talk nicely, they should keep up with the new era and not have old-fashioned thinking.
But they still care a little bit, and they all hope that the wife they marry is clean and has never been touched by anyone.
It is still the mother who understands her son.
One sentence hit the pain point.
"Listen to me, go find someone innocent in two days."
The man was still not happy, and said with his neck stiff, "Mom, I don't mind." Then he waved his hand and said, "I'm going out!"
He ran to the tailor shop in a hurry.
There are two sewing machines in the old master's shop. One of them is a bit old and no one knows what's wrong with it.
The young man volunteered to come and help fix it.
Even without his glasses, one could tell why the old teacher came at a glance.
Song Shengsheng knew in her heart that she had been pursued by gay men before.
She didn't resist and wouldn't initiate a conversation with him.
This person can do it if he is willing to do it.
The old teacher can still save some money, and the extra money is her salary.
And only after the sewing machine is repaired can she make more money with it.
Song Shengsheng's life is very comfortable now. He works in the tailor shop with his teacher to earn money during the day and goes home to read books and do homework at night.
According to the time mentioned in this book.
The college entrance examination will be resumed next year.
She still has a year to work hard.
Song Shengsheng is still a little vain. She wants to be the first female college student in the village to graduate, so that she can show off in front of her parents.
Give yourself a chance.
"Uncle, the machine has been repaired, take a look."
The old teacher put on his reading glasses, walked over to try them on, and then asked, "How much?"
The young man's face was a little hot, and he waved his hand quickly: "No need."
As he spoke, he took out the green bean cake he had just bought on the street and handed it to Song Shengsheng with a red face: "I bought it on the street, try it."
Song Shengsheng deeply understands the principle that one should be soft-hearted when receiving favors from others and should be grateful when receiving favors from others.
She can't control other things, but she can control her own mouth.
"I'm not hungry." She turned to the old master and asked, "Master, do you want to eat?"
"I have bad teeth and cannot eat sweet food."
The young man felt a little embarrassed and had to leave with the mung bean cake.
In the end, I couldn't bear to leave, so I just stood guard at the door.
Inside the room, the old master looked at his apprentice who was always laughing for no apparent reason. He asked, "Didn't you see that the gay guy just now had feelings for you?"
Song Shengsheng nodded: "I see."
The old master likes his little apprentice very much. He is serious and enthusiastic in learning, and he is not stupid. However, he is alone here, which makes people feel uneasy.
She lost her husband at a young age.
It's a hard life.
"I think the boy is handsome. You should observe him more and find a partner sooner rather than later. It won't do you any harm."
Song Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing who he was thinking of, and seemed not as happy as before.
She continued to work, saying, "My late husband and I had a good relationship. I will wait for him for two years and then see."
The old teacher sighed and said, "We should always look forward. Being too sentimental may not be a good thing."
Song Shengsheng felt a little guilty after hearing this and didn't dare to say anything.
When she finished her work for the day and stepped out of the door, she was startled by the gay man waiting outside.
"Is it not frightening you?"
Song Shengsheng looked at him with a frown, and she took two steps back cautiously.
She was most afraid of people who seemed to not understand what they said. She was not good at pretending, so she was just annoyed. "I'm scared."
She then asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
The young gay man was reluctant to leave when he saw his sweetheart, and couldn't even move his feet. "I'm afraid it's not safe outside, I want to take you back."
Song Shengsheng didn't give him any face at all: "No need."

She made up an excuse: "I still have to be a widow for two years after my late husband's death. It would be bad for others to see us like this."
"I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Song Shengsheng went home without looking back.
I don't know what kind of luck she has had with women recently. From time to time, gay men come to show their affection to her. Even the grandson of the old master in the tailor shop, who came back from the provincial capital, pestered her.
The old teacher's grandson speaks very sweetly.
They are both tall and strong. The elder sister is taller than the younger sister.
Even though his arms are all stiff and muscular, he can still sew with an embroidery needle.
Song Shengsheng was originally annoyed with him, but later he helped her drive away the man who was lingering in front of the door, and she stopped saying anything.
Another three months have passed in a flash.
Even though Song Shengsheng was an ordinary citizen, he could feel the unusual atmosphere.
The situation was tense everywhere, and newspapers frequently reported that people in various places were trying to stir up trouble.
Song Shengsheng buys a newspaper every day to read the news.
According to the progress of this period novel, the Fu family was the winner in this struggle of creating chaos by playing the right chess piece.
Fu Cheng's father's status rose instead of falling.
He was transferred to a senior position in the military and took full control of the real power.
But this has nothing to do with her, she has long known that Fu Cheng will rise to prominence.
She tried her best to please him, but it was totally useless, so she stopped trying to please him.
In the first month, Song Shengsheng still couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of Fu Cheng, but now she can mention this man's name without any emotion.
It has been like this since childhood.
She can never get what she likes.
Even if you hold it in your hand, it can be taken away for various reasons.
So she had already learned to protect herself, and if something was taken away from her, she would just give it up.
She brainwashed herself and said that she didn't like it anymore.
This is what happens when a toy is taken away from you as a child.
The same thing happened to Fu Cheng, who was tired of her.
Song Shengsheng closed the newspaper and placed it on the table. "Master, I put today's newspaper here."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Another head popped up inside, and it was very enthusiastic: "Sister, I'll take you to get the cloth by bike."
Song Shengsheng had become familiar with him over the past few months, so without any hesitation he got on his bicycle and headed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
*
There is an undercurrent in the capital.
After the silent confrontation in the dark, the situation stabilized.
Fu Cheng was also busy. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home. He either slept in the car or in the dormitory.
When you wake up in the morning.
Seeing the calendar hanging on the wall, he stared at the date on it for a long time, then raised his hand and pulled the calendar down from the wall with an expressionless face.
It has been more than six months.
Still no news.
Fu Cheng never knew that finding someone could be so difficult.
She was like a raindrop that fell silently, sliding into the vast ocean. The sky was so big and the earth was so vast that she was nowhere to be found.
"Captain, it's time for us to set off."
"Um."
Fu Cheng has a mission today, he has to catch someone.
The other party's level is not low, and the public security department does not have the authority to do so. The military district can only step in and take the person down quietly to avoid any further complications.
The man was dressed in a neat military uniform. His cold features made him look like an emotionless machine, and his indifferent eyes seemed to show that he didn't take anyone seriously.
He said calmly, "Let's go."
As the sun sets, the mission is successfully completed.
The people below couldn't help but feel happy, but seeing that their leader was still cold and indifferent and didn't look very happy, they didn't dare to celebrate.
They have seen it all over the past six months.
I feel like the leader has lost some popularity and has lost interest in everything.
I rarely see him smile. No, I almost never see him smile.
It was already cold, and now it is more like an iceberg that can only be viewed from a distance.
After completing the mission, Fu Cheng took two days off.
As soon as he got home, he called Ningcheng. In fact, before he made the call, he knew that the result he wanted would not be what he wanted.
Otherwise, they would have informed him long ago.
As expected.
"Captain, the person you asked us to keep an eye on hasn't left the house in the past six months. He hasn't made a single phone call or sent a single letter."
Fu Cheng sneered. Song Peiyuan was unexpectedly cruel, but he could still hold back.
I can do without contact.
Fu Cheng said coldly: "Keep staring at him. If he's not dead, just keep watching him."
"yes!"
Fu Cheng hung up the phone and sank into the sofa. He closed his eyes and felt a pain in the back of his head.
When Ye Jing came back, she saw him curled up on the sofa without saying a word.
Very quiet, very dead.
This kind of dead silence is like having all the blood drained out of the body, which makes people feel heartbroken and terrified.
After Shengsheng left, Ye Jing felt that her son was becoming more and more silent day by day.
She didn't know how long he could hold on.
Sometimes, Ye Jing felt that he was quite pitiful.
The last time Xiaochi was sick, he came back from the army exhausted.
Although exhausted, she still held the child and took care of him all night long.
It seemed as if only the two of them, father and son, were left to depend on each other.
"You must be tired these days, just rest at home for a few days."
Fu Cheng stood up: "No, Mom, I have to go to Xicheng tomorrow."
Ye Jing was not surprised. In the past few months, he had been running around whenever he had free time, either here or there. He said he had something to do, but as his mother, how could she not know what his actual purpose was?
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
But every time I get nothing.
He visited all the towns around Ningcheng.
Xicheng is very close. It only takes two or three hours by train from the capital.
Fu Cheng originally had no plan to go to Xicheng, because he had a comrade-in-arms who had died before and was from Xicheng.
After his comrade died, in addition to the pension given by the army, Fu Cheng would also send money to his family every month.
This time I sent a letter.
The old lady was not in good health, and there was a shortage of hospital beds, but she was reluctant to spend money.
The little granddaughter was really scared, so she mustered up the courage to call Uncle Fu who was far away in the capital.
Fu Cheng also had an old acquaintance in Xicheng, named Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao works in the municipal government, and his position is neither high nor low.
I called him and asked him to help settle the two grandparents.
Fucheng arrived at Xicheng in the evening.
When Chen Zhao first met Fu Cheng, he didn't know his family background. Later he learned that he was from the capital and was the son of an official who grew up in a compound.
After realizing the difference between the two of us, my attitude toward him changed subtly.
This was a rare opportunity, so Chen Zhao certainly didn't want to let it go.
Especially Fu Cheng's father, his current position is even worse than before, and more and more people will want to curry favor with him in the future.
Chen Zhao went to the train station to pick someone up and also arranged a driver.
Fu Cheng didn't remember that his old acquaintance used to be such a warm-hearted person. He didn't point it out, and curled the corners of his lips: "Don't worry, I'll go to the hospital to see that person first, and then have dinner together in the evening, and I'll go back tomorrow."
Chen Zhao's smile was a little stiff, but he didn't want to force her to stay: "Okay."
It gets dark quickly in the evening.
After visiting his elders, Fu Cheng came out of the hospital. It was already completely dark.
The evening breeze in early summer is slightly cool.
Fu Cheng only wore a shirt today. The temperature was just right during the day, but it was a bit thin at night.
Especially in Xicheng, the weather changes suddenly. Not long after he came out of the hospital, a burst of rain came down, landing on the eaves, making a harsh sound.
The splashing mist soaked the man's thin shirt.
In the misty night rain, he lit a cigarette. Although it was a cool day, Fu Cheng felt indescribably irritated.
"Hurry, hurry! It's raining."
"Use my coat to block it."
"I don't want to, stop it."
"Then wait for me. I'll go get my umbrella first! Wait for me to come back and pick you up!"
Before Song Shengsheng could stop him, the boy rushed into the heavy rain.
A familiar voice was heard amidst the sound of rain. For a moment, Fu Cheng thought he was hallucinating. His eyes froze and his expression changed. His eyes, as dark as the sea, looked in the direction of the voice.
She must have been in a hurry to go out and was looking for a place to shelter from the rain.
She happened to be standing under the eaves opposite him. Next to her stood a tall and thin boy who looked quite young. He was smiling at her and talking to her about something.
Fu Cheng felt his breath catch. He suddenly clenched his hands and stared at her face.
I was afraid that if I blinked, it would be another dream.
His gaze makes people feel uneasy.
Song Shengsheng felt as if someone was staring at him and felt a little uncomfortable.
In the heavy rain, she suddenly met that familiar gaze.
Song Shengsheng seemed to be frozen in place. When she came to her senses, she turned around and ran without even thinking.
She didn't know what she was running for!
She doesn't feel guilty!
But her speed was far slower than the man behind her. Her wrist was grabbed fiercely, with such force that it seemed as if he was using all his strength. Then Song Shengsheng heard Fu Cheng's furious voice: "Run? Why are you running?"
