Chapter 20 Chapter 20 I don't know how to do this
Shu Niannian found another question and pointed it out to Ye Jinhong. Ye Jinhong took the exercise book and pretended to study it very hard for a few minutes. His brows were furrowed all the time. Finally, he said, "I don't know how to do this question."
Shu Niannian took the exercise book with satisfaction, thinking to herself, "You can't even do such simple questions, and you still want me to give you guidance?"
But the moment she turned around, she saw a smile on Ye Jinhong's lips. How to describe that smile? It was like when she was arm wrestling with her older brother Shu Wenhui when they were little. She kept losing and she was so angry that Shu Wenhui pretended to lose to her and watched her cheering for her hard-earned victory. That was the kind of smile that appeared on Shu Wenhui's face at that time.
A kind of helplessness from family members, coupled with a little doting smile.
Thinking of this, Shu Niannian blushed instantly.
She turned around angrily and said coquettishly, "Uncle!"
When he found out that the truth had been revealed, Ye Jinhong no longer held it back and laughed heartily. The deep voice seemed to have penetrating power, drilling into Shu Niannian's ears.
Shu Niannian was afraid that her face would get even redder, so she hurried back and left.
She attributed it all to the fact that she was ridiculed by her "uncle".
The little girl's attitude was covered up by herself.
Because Ye Jinhong was going to have lunch at home, Yang Guifen steamed white flour buns and made a few more dishes, including pickled cabbage with vinegar and scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts. The pig's trotters that had been left over from the previous two days came in handy at this time. Yang Guifen crushed the garlic, mixed it with soy sauce, vinegar, salt and sesame oil, and sprinkled it on the broken pig's trotters. The taste was indescribably delicious.
Just smelling it makes one's mouth water.
Fortunately, I left over two pig’s trotters from two days ago, otherwise there would only be a few vegetarian dishes for lunch today, which would be so embarrassing!
Logically speaking, the Shu family and the Lu family have severed their relationship now, but the one who came today was Ye Jinhong, and Nian Nian told her that when she was in Haicheng, Ye Jinhong took a lot of care of her.
As people, no matter what time it is, we must remember the kindness given by others.
In order to entertain Ye Jinhong, Yang Guifen also made some egg drop soup. She sprinkled chopped garlic sprouts and pepper on the steaming egg drop soup. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, she felt so warm.
For this meal, Yang Guihua used up all the eggs in her home, but she was very happy in her heart. Ye Jinhong praised her cooking and the egg soup she made. The steamed buns were even more delicious than those in the army canteen.
Although Ye Jinhong didn't talk much, every word he said hit the nail on the head, and he praised Yang Guifen so much that she couldn't stop smiling.
Shu Niannian looked at Ye Jinhong in confusion. She suspected that Ye Jinhong was trying to flatter her.
However, Ye Jinhong sat upright on the stool, unmoved by any circumstances, as steady as a rock. Why would such a steady man need to flatter Yang Guifen? ?
After dinner, Ye Jinhong was about to leave. Yang Guifen wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't open her mouth. Ye Jinhong came to their house and asked about what happened in the past two days. During the period, she did not defend Lu Jianjun or try to reconcile him. It was as if he was just a guest. If she asked about Lu Jianjun now, it would seem as if their family couldn't let him go.
Yang Guifen asked Shu Niannian to see Ye Jinhong off, and Ye Jinhong did not refuse.
Shu Niannian thought Ye Jinhong had something to say to her, but he didn't say a word until they reached the village entrance. Shu Niannian got anxious and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ye Jinhong thought for a moment and asked, "I'll find you some review materials when I get back. You can take a look at them first. When the final exam results for this semester come out, send me your transcripts. I'll have someone analyze your weaknesses and design a special review plan for you. What do you think?"
Shu Niannian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said okay.
Ye Jinhong is a man of excellent qualities. He has a strong body, broad shoulders and a straight back. Especially when he is wearing a military uniform like now, his figure is straight and neat, which makes him eye-catching no matter how you look at him.
There were people coming and going at the entrance of the village. The two of them only exchanged a few words, but everyone turned back to inquire. Shu Niannian was at the center of controversy in Shujia Village, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she asked Ye Jinhong to leave quickly. Ye Jinhong nodded, turned around and left.
On the way home, an aunt from the same village asked Shu Niannian who that was. Shu Niannian was silent for a moment and said it was his brother's friend.
We are no longer relatives.
It seems that I can no longer call you uncle.
Ever since she told him that she would never marry Lu Jianjun, Ye Jinhong never mentioned Lu Jianjun in front of her again.
******
Speaking of Lu Jianjun, he was squatting behind a straw stack at the entrance of the village in the morning waiting for Ye Jinhong. Who knew that Ye Jinhong didn't show up, but Shu Meilan showed up instead.
When Shu Meilan saw the red and purple wounds on his face, she threw herself into his arms and started crying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's my fault that I hurt you. I shouldn't have let you come to see me!"
The moment Lu Jianjun saw Shu Meilan, he wanted to dodge, but his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground and he couldn't move no matter what.
When Shu Meilan threw herself into his arms, Lu Jianjun could only sigh in his heart. It happened again.
The feeling that I can't let her down and I have to treat her well came back.
Lu Jianjun had already realized it in the old house before. This time, Shu Meilan must have set a trap for him. No one knew what tricks she had used to make him temporarily lose himself. When he was awakened by Shu Wenhui's stick, everything that was supposed to happen had happened.
Lu Jianjun hated it most when people used despicable means on him, especially in this matter. Not only did he lose the courtyard house in the city center that was within his grasp, but he also lost his grandfather's favor. Before he met Shu Meilan, he vowed to make that bitch Shu Meilan suffer the consequences, but after seeing Shu Meilan, he seemed to be dominated by the feeling that he was powerless again.
Finally, Lu Jianjun bit his tongue and the pain made him sober. He forcefully pushed Shu Meilan away and was able to start thinking again.
"My grandfather won't let me marry you. Today I'm here to ask for Nian Nian's forgiveness. My grandfather said that if Nian Nian doesn't forgive me, he will break my legs."
After saying this, Lu Jianjun ran away, not daring to stay with Shu Meilan for another minute.
Looking at Lu Jianjun fleeing in panic, Shu Meilan pinched her palm in hatred.
She just didn't believe it. She couldn't marry Lu Jianjun?
The next morning, just as Shu Niannian got up, she heard Yang Guihua's pig-slaughtering screams coming from the second room next door.
Shu Meilan committed suicide.
It was a failed suicide attempt, but he was discovered and rescued by Yang Guihua. The doctor from the village clinic came to see him and found that the wound on his wrist was very deep. If it had gone a little deeper, the tendons would have been broken.
"What was the reason? You were a healthy child, why did you commit suicide?!" Yang Guihua said with great sorrow.
Shu Meilan cried and begged Yang Guihua, "I want to marry Brother Jianjun!"
That was the only sentence she kept repeating over and over again.
Yang Guihua had no choice but to say, "But he doesn't want to marry you, what are you going to do?"
Shu Meilan lowered her head and said nothing, but continued to cry.
Yang Guihua went to find Shu Chengzu, who sneered, "What's the point of looking for me? I can't let the Lu family marry her!"
Yang Guihua: "Niannian and Meilan are both your granddaughters. If Niannian doesn't want to get married, you can let Meilan marry for her, isn't that the same thing?!"
Shu Chengzu angrily threw the teapot on the table and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! This marriage is for Nian Nian and Jian Jun, what does it have to do with Mei Lan? Do you think it's buying something? If you don't want this one, can you exchange it for that one?"
Seeing that Shu Chengzu was unwilling to help, Yang Guihua stopped talking respectfully, "You are biased. You always give all the good things to that dead girl. From childhood to adulthood, what have you done for Meilan?!"
Shu Chengzu glanced at Yang Guihua coldly and laughed angrily, "You are right, I am biased. Nian Nian is my granddaughter, so of course I have to love and protect her. Who is Meilan? What does she have to do with me?"
Yang Guihua shouted, "Yes! She may not be your biological granddaughter, but she married into your Shu family with me, so she became a Shu family member! When you die, she will still wear mourning clothes for you!"
"Then I really don't need it!"
"She is immoral and has hooked up with her cousin's husband at such a young age. Don't think I can't see through what you are thinking?! You ruined my granddaughter's marriage, and I haven't even had time to deal with you yet, but you've turned your attention to me. Why, you've been in my Shu family for so many years, do you think I'm a good-tempered person?"
Shu Chengzu's eyes suddenly turned cold. Yang Guihua, who was still making a fuss, was frightened and quickly shut up and left.
Shu Chengzu's approach was not feasible and Shu Meilan had no hope at all. Lu Jianjun was unwilling to marry her and she had a bad reputation in the village. Finally, she had no choice but to leave. Two days later, Shu Niannian heard that Shu Meilan had gone to her grandmother's house on the way to report to school.
She just listened and didn't ask any more questions.
After repeating the grade, Shu Niannian felt that time passed particularly quickly. She would get up before dawn every morning to read and do homework. When she came back at night, she would continue to read with a kerosene lamp. The day began when she opened her eyes, and ended when she closed her eyes.
Lu Jianjun never contacted her again, but Ye Jinhong wrote her several letters.
He asked Shu Niannian if she had any difficulties in her studies, and sent her the latest study materials. Once, he even sent her cake and candy coupons.
Shu Niannian was in distress when she wrote her reply. Without Lu Jianjun as a bridge, the two of them no longer had any contact. Wouldn't it be bad for Ye Jinhong to continue writing to her so frequently?
Moreover, she didn’t know how to start writing her reply letters. In the past, she would start a letter with “Uncle, Hello.” But how should she start now?
It would definitely be inappropriate to write about uncle again!
Writing to Ye Jinhong felt disrespectful to him. After much thought, Shu Niannian decided to skip this step. It was enough for him to know that it was her reply.
These red tapes are not that important.
The two of them exchanged letters every month. Zhang Chunyang also wrote several letters to Shu Niannian every month. After two months of development, the medicinal creams and hydrosols she made became popular. At first, she sold two or three bottles a month, and later the sales doubled.
Just when Shu Niannian was immersed in the joy of making money, Zhang Chunlai suddenly sent a letter for help, asking Shu Niannian to come to Haicheng as soon as possible, saying that a customer had small bumps like urticaria on his face after using the cream.
