Chapter 122 Enjoying this world together
"Teacher Liu, I'm sorry for causing you trouble last time." Shen Chutang stood at the door with a fruit basket in her hand. When she saw him, she smiled sweetly and apologized.
"What are you talking about? I've caused a lot of trouble for Teacher Shen in the past. Come in quickly."
Liu Yun took the fruit basket from her hand and looked at the man behind her. He looked familiar. "Who is this..."
"Shi Chengyu is my boyfriend."
"Hello, Teacher Liu." Shi Chengyu nodded and greeted.
Liu Yun didn't recognize the person, but he recognized the name and was surprised. He looked at the person who was following Shen Chutang obediently, holding gift bags of various sizes in his hands. He didn't match him with the impression of Shi Chengyu mentioned by others.
"It's Mr. Shi. Come in quickly. My wife heard that you were coming, so she prepared a large table of food." Liu Yun smiled and invited them in.
"Then I would like to thank you, Master's wife."
Shen Chutang pulled Shi Chengyu in, "Teacher, what kind of person was my grandpa in the past?"
Before dinner started, Shen Chutang sat down on the sofa and asked straight to the point.
Liu Yun laughed a few times, "Your grandfather, let me be rude. Teacher Shen used to be a bad boy, but he became better after he started studying."
"You little rascal?" Shen Chutang was a little surprised.
"Yes." Liu Yun nodded. "Teacher Shen is not from Beijing. He came here with the old general during the war. He was very young when he served in the army. He had no parents and didn't remember where he was from. Later, he stayed in Beijing."
"I was no longer used to being unrestrained, I didn't like going to school, and I didn't want to study. I was chased and beaten by the old generals several times, but I still didn't behave myself."
Shen Chutang took the cup of water that Shi Chengyu handed over, took a sip, and then looked up and asked, "What happened later? How did Grandpa become a teacher?"
"That's something to talk about." Liu Yun recalled, his voice seemed to have traveled through time and space back to decades ago, "Teacher Shen met his wife when he was 20 years old."
"That is your grandmother, Wu Zhiyun. The teacher's wife was a lady from a scholarly family. After Teacher Shen fell in love with her at first sight, he began to pursue her, but the teacher's wife disliked him for being uneducated and a rough man. After Teacher Shen found out, he locked himself in the room to study, and then was admitted to A University. At that time, the school was not called this name. After graduation, he stayed on as a teacher at the school, and the teacher's wife agreed to his pursuit."
"That was also when I met Teacher Shen."
"Teacher Shen was very kind to us. He often invited us to his home for meals. He was afraid that we would not have enough money to eat, so he often gave us meal tickets. During meals, he would tell us about the war and his pursuit of his wife."
"We can recite his lectures by heart. He always enjoys them."
Shen Chutang listened carefully, as if he saw his grandfather when he was young, "Grandpa, you never told us this before."
"Yes." Liu Yun sighed, "After the death of the master's wife, Teacher Shen has not talked about these things anymore."
It turns out that it's not that he doesn't like to chat. Everyone likes to reminisce about the good times of their youth. It's just that after his lover passed away, every time he talked about it, he would recall the sadness of his lover's death.
"Later, Teacher Shen resigned. I became more and more like the teacher's wife and lived like her."
Liu Yun's voice was slightly sad, but then he smiled again. "Before the school started, Teacher Shen called me and told me that you were teaching in my class. I was surprised and terrified, afraid that I would disappoint the teacher. But you are much easier than when I was a student, and you are smarter than me."
"When I was a student, Teacher Shen treated us to dinner. Now that I am a teacher, I am very happy to treat you to dinner."
In a sense, it can be considered a kind of inheritance. When he heard Shen Chutang say that he was coming, he instantly recalled things from his youth.
Shen Chutang: "I didn't know you were Grandpa's student before. I should have come to visit earlier."
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I'm very happy that you can come. Just come often when you have time in the future."
"Are you guys done chatting? The meal is ready."
"I'm coming." Liu Yun stood up and answered towards the kitchen, then turned his head to look at them, "I'm old and I forget the time when I talk about things. I'm wasting time. Let's go eat first."
Shen Chutang stood up and said, "No problem, thank you for telling us this."
The two of them followed to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. While eating, Liu Yun talked about many things about Shen Boyu's youth.
For example, he climbed up the wall of the Wu family to read a love letter, but was chased down by Mr. Wu, and then the old general grabbed his ears and asked him to pay tribute and apologize...
Shen Boyu told Liu Yun many such vivid and interesting things, and now Liu Yun told them to Shen Chutang. They had a very enjoyable meal with constant laughter.
After dinner, Shen Chutang and Shi Chengyu walked home hand in hand. A breeze blew by, carrying the rich fragrance of osmanthus.
"Shi Chengyu, I have never seen my grandmother before. Today is the first time I heard the story about my grandpa and grandma."
Shi Chengyu held her hand and put it in his pocket, "Don't be sad, the one who left is always watching you from heaven, watching Tangtang grow up, go to school, and fall in love."
If it was when he was a child, Shen Chutang would nod in agreement, but now, Shen Chutang smiled and pinched his palm, "Then if grandma in heaven saw that grandpa was not doing well, would she be sad?"
"If it were me, I would definitely -"
Before Shen Chutang could finish her words, Shi Chengyu covered her mouth. He frowned seriously and said, "Don't say such things."
His eyes flickered as he smiled. Shen Chutang kissed his palm and took his hand away. "Those who have left have left, but those who are still alive must continue to live."
Shen Chutang held his hand and interlocked their fingers, "Shi Chengyu, I hope you can enjoy this world."
Shi Chengyu held her hand tightly, "Tangtang, I want to enjoy this world with you."
He knew that this world was a beautiful place, but the premise of all this was that Shen Chutang was there.
Shen Chutang looked at him and smiled, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "I will, I will always be with you."

After the cheating incident, the examination system of University A became more stringent and the examinations became more frequent, which made it difficult for Xie Tong, who liked to cram.
After enduring the arduous exam month, they welcomed their first winter break in college.
Xie Tong was picked up by Xie Yi, and Shen Chutang also returned to Lanjiang Court with Shi Chengyu.
The happiest person is Shi Chengyu. Except for important meetings and special circumstances, he does not go to the company, as if he is the one who has a holiday.
"Shi Chengyu! Where's my photo album?!"
Having some free time during the holiday, Shen Chutang planned to print out all the photos taken during this period, but she couldn't find the album in the room. When she asked Chen Musheng, she found out that she had given it to Shi Chengyu.
