Sister, please help me
On the train platform, Zhou Huaiyue and Shen Roujiao walked hand in hand in front, while Uncle Hong and Zhou's parents walked behind.
"These two are great, don't worry, Sister Chen. When I told her about Huai Yue getting caught in the rain, the girl started crying. She looked like she really liked them."
Uncle Hong also saw that as soon as Shen Roujiao got out of the car, she ran to Zhou Huaiyue. The two of them naturally held hands, and the girl's sweet thoughts were all written on her face.
"Don't worry?" Chen Zhenhua sneered, "Chu Zhuo, the one who just said there was no marriage, it was him, right? Then take a look, what kind of hand is he holding now?!"
Zhou's father sighed and said, "Hey, we shouldn't get involved in young people's affairs." How come they are in love, but their relationship goes from sunny one day to rainy the next?
On the platform, there was an air of farewell. Chen Zhenhua's eyes were full of reluctance, and he gave Zhou Huaiyue many instructions. Zhou's father stood beside Shen Roujiao and said with concern: "My son has many problems and a bad temper. Don't take it personally. Go back and tell your uncle, and I will help you discipline him."
After saying goodbye, the whistle sounded. The people who were seeing them off did not put down their waving hands but went to wipe the tears from their eyes.
The moment the two turned around and stepped onto the train, a cold voice came from behind Shen Roujiao: "Let go, the show is over."
She pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed, and let go of his hand dejectedly.
Zhou Huaiyue failed to push down the high wall built by Shen Roujiao. He then built a few more layers to block out the storm, but could not block the cold.
In the midsummer, the two hearts fell into a cold winter, all white, desolate and lifeless.
......
The next day after returning to Benyuan County, various news came in, some good and some bad.
Sister Ruyu was admitted to the Normal University in Beijing. When the admission letter was mailed to the village, the village chief stood under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and read it twice in a row. Shen Ruyu was the first college student in Hedong Village, and the whole village was excited.
Master Ciyun passed away with regret, and she did not live to see Sanhua Weitai go on the market. The eldest brother Shen Tianhua stayed with his father in the peaceful Nanshan Village. Shen Tianyou followed Ciyun's last wish and returned to Yunnan with the calligraphy and the little nun Lingxi.
The Yunnan-Dian medicinal materials distribution center, which had been in preparation for more than half a year, was finally completed. Because of the strong support policy of the county government and the influence of Mr. Cui and Mr. Chen in the medicinal materials industry, it attracted many large medicinal materials dealers in the surrounding area.
County Mayor Gu is currently in contact with several large pharmaceutical factories that are interested in building branch factories. If nothing unexpected happens, a new pharmaceutical factory will appear next to the Sanhua Factory by the end of the year, and the shape of Benyuan County's development of a "traditional Chinese medicine" economy will emerge.
Aunt Zhao, who had finally achieved success in her life, wanted to invite the whole village to a banquet.
That day, Gu Changgeng, who had returned to the village to join in the fun, came to find Shen Roujiao early and bumped into Zhou Huaiyue on the stairs.
When the love rivals meet, their eyes turn red. They stare at each other and pass each other coldly. Gu Changgeng starts the conversation first: "Are you in love?"
The rumors that spread throughout the capital were passed from the painter's grandmother to the Gu family. Gu Changgeng suddenly realized why Zhou Huaiyue was so hostile to him when he first met him, and why he was inexplicably vicious to him. It turned out that he had feelings for his apprentice.
"Our business has nothing to do with you." He side-glanced at the handsome and well-dressed junior Gu.
"Why doesn't it matter? I've been waiting for you two to break up. You're not worthy of me." He was arrogant and acted as if he knew nothing.
Even though grandma and the entire Gu family thought they were a good match, Gu Changgeng, who had seen them quarrel, firmly believed that they would not last long and would definitely break up.
Because Zhou Huaiyue is a stupid man who loves to get angry with the senior. He doesn't understand that loving someone is like nurturing a flower, and that being coquettish means watering it. A woman needs to be pampered, coaxed, loved, and cherished. But Zhou Huaiyue has none of these. He is selfish and arrogant, and is not worthy of the full vitality of the senior.
"Then I hope you can live to see that day." Zhou Huaiyue left him his back and slammed the door shut.
"." Gu Changgeng cursed him from head to toe in his heart.
Inside the house, Zhou Huaiyue stood at the window, opened the slit in the curtain and looked downstairs. Shen Roujiao was wearing a light pink long skirt, her hair was casually spread out, and she was carrying a small red cloth bag. She looked youthful, lively and beautiful.
Gu Changgeng said something that made her smile like a flower, like a beam of light that illuminated the surroundings. She hadn't smiled at him like this for a long time, a smile that was so sweet to her heart.
After returning from the capital, the two of them had been in a cold confrontation, and she no longer even pretended to be his girlfriend.
Downstairs, they got into the car together and it disappeared from sight.
No matter how harsh the words were, they couldn't hide the deep sense of defeat. Zhou Huaiyue stared out the window in a daze. The helplessness of losing more the harder he tried made him feel depressed and at a loss.
He did everything he could and couldn't do, so why couldn't he get her?
......
Hedong Village.
Shen Roujiao met her junior sister Lingxi at the Shen family. The two hugged each other and shed tears for Grand Master Ciyun. According to her last wish, Jingxuan stayed in the Taoist temple, while Lingxi walked out of the mountains and followed Xianyun to make medicine and see the world.
"Little sister, Zhou Huaiyue hasn't come back yet?" Shen Tiancheng tied Shiwu in the yard. Since Shen's father passed away, Ping An and Jixiang Ruyi were all raised by Shen Shanhe. Today, there was a village banquet at the uncle's house, and the dog was taken back to the Shen family.
"He's busy." Gu Changgeng replied hastily.
"You're so busy. When will the pharmaceutical factory start production? Do you need your brother to help you?" The second brother's eyes were full of pity. She had lost a lot of weight because of her busy work at the pharmaceutical factory.
"Once the customized packaging arrives at the factory, we can start production. Later on, especially when we go to the market, we will need you to help us with production. By the way, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Uncle Shen's family has a double happiness today. His daughter Ruyu is admitted to the university, and his son Rushan is about to marry Caifeng. Father Shen and his eldest brother are not here, so the second brother is in charge of the family.
The pharmaceutical factory needed the second brother to manage it, and the third brother to handle the finances. The fourth brother, Shen Tianyou, was transferred to the township cultural center at the beginning of the year, and the medicinal materials purchasing station was empty. Shen Roujiao planned to let the brother Rushan take over, and the Shen family would get a small share of the profits.
It was given to him and Sister Caifeng as a wedding present.
"Then let's think of it together. I think it's great. Rushan's family got what they wanted, which is wonderful." Shen Tiancheng's eyes fell on the little sister, and he asked in an elder's manner: "What's the situation between you and Huaiyue now?"
"?"
She didn't even have time to conceal her emotions; a flash of sadness passed through her eyes and was quickly caught by Shen Tiancheng.
The brothers of the Shen family had long seen Zhou Huaiyue's feelings for the younger sister. Although Shen Roujiao repeatedly denied it, during the time when Master Zhou suddenly left the pharmacy, the younger sister was obviously in a low mood, and anyone could tell.
"I'm just asking casually. My little sister is more than capable of marrying anyone, and we won't tolerate anyone's anger. At worst, she can be single with me." Shen Tiancheng ruffled his little sister's soft hair, "Let's go and have a feast with the college students. The two girls in our Shen family bring honor to the village."
Shen Ruyu was wearing a big red flower and standing in the crowd. Uncle Shen and Aunt Zhao were grinning from ear to ear with joy.
As each table was toasted, the villagers all praised Ruyu for being smart and down-to-earth, and a good role model for all the children in the village to study hard.
When Shen Roujiao came to their table and took out the thick red envelope she had prepared, Zhao Ye hugged her with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, I owe you an apology. Without you, there would be no Ruyu and Rushan today. Jiaojiao, Auntie did too many wrong things in the past, and I feel guilty."
"Roujiao, thank you so much." Shen Ruyu's eyes were red and she clenched her fingers. "Your courage inspires me."
"I'm just throwing out a brick to attract jade. Sister Ruyu, you are really amazing. I am proud of you." Aunt Zhao hugged the two girls from the Shen family at the same time and shed tears of joy.
The college admission rate in those days was less than 3%. The college entrance examination was really like a competition of many people. Only five people in the entire Benyuan County passed the exam. College students were more valuable than diamonds, and female college students were even rarer.
The village chief raised his glass and stood in the middle of the village banquet, "Fellow villagers, let's raise our glasses together and toast to the two outstanding girls in our village."
......
Hearing the car horn, Zhou Huaiyue immediately jumped up from the bed, rushed to the window and pulled open the curtains.
Gu Changgeng came down from the right side of the car door carrying a bag, and Shen Roujiao and Lingxi came down from the left side. They talked for a while, and Shen Roujiao took the bag from her junior classmate. She watched the car leave before turning around.
The moment Shen Roujiao raised her head and looked towards the window, Zhou Huaiyue dodged away.
He fumbled for a book in a panic, closed the door, and walked quickly towards the stairs. At the corner, he "ran into" two people who had just returned.
"Brother Huaiyue!" Lingxi, who had grown taller, took two steps forward and stood in front of Zhou Huaiyue.
"Junior Sister." His eyes passed over Shen Roujiao's slightly red cheeks after drinking.
"From now on I will live in my junior sister's house and go to the pharmaceutical factory with you guys." Her eyes were filled with joy.
"Come on, let's get to know my door." Zhou Huaiyue raised the arm holding the book and looked at Shen Roujiao behind Lingxi.
"Sister, you go ahead. I'll take the bag and go back first." Her decisive and evasive attitude hit the mark exactly what someone was thinking.
Lingxi looked around Zhou Huaiyue's room. It was a simple layout of one bedroom and one living room, with two large bookshelves filled with books about painting and drug trials.
"Eat candy." Zhou Huaiyue took out an iron box, which contained colorful candies of different flavors.
Lingxi picked out her favorite White Rabbit, stuffed it into her mouth, smacked it, and fished out a note from her pocket, "This is from the master. She passed away peacefully, without suffering."
Zhou Huaiyue took it and unfolded it. He was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled.
The note read: Be nice to my third disciple. Otherwise, I will draw a talisman below to attract thunder and kill you.
"Now you know how amazing my master is." Lingxi chewed some candy, strolled to the desk, opened the sketchbook on top, and screamed in surprise, "Wow, your painting of my junior sister is so beautiful."
That was when he was on the train, secretly sketching Shen Roujiao's sleeping appearance. She was so well behaved and cute when she fell asleep, like a cat.
Zhou Huaiyue carefully put away the note left by Master Ciyun, with a serious look and a sincere attitude, "Little Senior Sister, please help me."
