Zhou Yunwan took two candies and handed them to them: "Yueyue, Chuanchuan, do you want some candy? After eating the candy, you won't feel so bad."
"Thank you, aunt." Shen Yue and Shen Chuan took the candy, but they didn't eat it directly, they just held it in their hands.
He had been holding back his emotions, but soon he burst into tears, sobbing and trying not to cry too loudly. But it was because of his "sensible" appearance that he looked even more pitiful.
When Shen Yue, who was usually more stable, started crying, Shen Chuan was also moved to cry, but he was younger and didn't know how to hide it, so his crying instantly resounded throughout the room.
"Aunt, uncle, wuwuwu, are we going to be without a mom and dad?"
Zhou Yunwan and Shen Yanli looked at each other, looking embarrassed, but before they could think of how to speak, Shen Yue slapped Shen Chuan on the mouth.
“Don’t talk nonsense. We, we are not without a father and a mother. At most, we are without a father or a mother.” When he said the last part, Shen Yue’s eyes dimmed a little, but this is better than losing both a father and a mother.
Zhou Yunwan was a little surprised and asked, "Yueyue, why would you say that?"
Shen Yue sniffed and choked up as he explained, "There's a classmate in my class whose parents are also divorced. He lives with his father, and his mother has never seen him again. His father said that his mother wants to divorce his father, so she doesn't want him anymore."
...
...
"Mom is going to divorce Dad. Will she also abandon us?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yunwan was stunned at first, then said with a firm look in her eyes: "There is no mother in this world who would not want her own child. Even if there is, it is very rare."
"You know better than your aunt how much your mother loves you and how good she is to you, so how could your mother not want you?"
Her voice was gentle and delicate, which invisibly soothed the two children's uneasy hearts.
Just then, the door opened.
Wu Yi stood at the door and looked at Zhou Yunwan with gratitude in her eyes. Women always understand women best and are the most able to sympathize with each other. They looked at each other and smiled at each other tacitly.
When they saw Wu Yi, the two children Shen Yue and Shen Chuan immediately rushed over, one on each side, hugged her thighs and cried sadly.
Wu Yi comforted them for a few words, and when their crying subsided a little, she said to Shen Yanli and Zhou Yunwan: “Thank you so much for today.”
"You're welcome, sister-in-law."
After a few polite words, they helped Wu Yi coax the two children to sleep before leaving.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Zhou Yunwan called Shen Yanli to her room, and after closing the door, she discussed in a low voice, “Brother and sister-in-law have made such a fuss, let’s talk to uncle and aunt about our affairs later.”
My eldest brother and his wife are getting a divorce, and the atmosphere at home is tense. It is really inappropriate for them to announce their relationship at this critical juncture.
But for Chen Yanli, of course, the sooner they announce their relationship, the better. Otherwise, if it is delayed any further, what if Wanwan regrets it and doesn't want to make it public anymore?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhou Yunwan took a step closer to him and looked at him with misty eyes: "Hmm? You don't want to?"
Looking at her small face, Shen Yanli pursed his thin lips and said truthfully: "It's not that I don't want to..."
After a while, Shen Yanli squeezed her hand and said gently, “Then let’s talk about it later.”
Zhou Yunwan didn't think much about it, shook his hand back, and changed the subject: "By the way, did you get the theater tickets for the Dragon Boat Festival?"
The Dragon Boat Festival was the day when the play she starred in was officially performed at the Beijing People's Art Theater, but because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, tickets were hard to come by.
They had discussed this issue before, but so much time had passed that they almost forgot about it.
Zhou Yunwan attached great importance to this performance and put a lot of effort into it, so Shen Yanli would naturally not miss this performance.
Shen Yanli curled his lips and said, "I asked Fan Lihua to use his connections to get me one."
Fan Lihua is a friend of Chen Yanli, a writer of some fame, with extensive connections in the art circle. They met last time at a gathering of friends.
Hearing this, Zhou Yunwan raised her hand and touched his face, then smiled: "Hehe, that's good."
The two of them stayed affectionate for a while, then went to wash up and rest.
Because of what happened between Shen Yanxiang and Wu Yi, the Shen family seemed to be covered by a dark cloud, gloomy and sad.
Zhou Yunwan suddenly felt that it was a rational decision not to make their relationship public. Otherwise, how embarrassing it would be.
The days passed, and soon it was the Dragon Boat Festival.
The performance went smoothly and the audience applauded loudly.
Backstage, everyone in the drama troupe was very excited. They were chattering and laughing, talking about how nervous they were. Many people also came to ask Zhou Yunwan if she would leave the troupe after the performance.
Zhou Yunwan paused as she put away her hands, turned her head to look at the man, and said with a smile, "It should be."
The man sighed and said, "What a pity! You are such a good actor and have so much talent. I really don't want to part with you."
But soon, she thought of something, her eyes lit up and she suggested, "Aren't you about to graduate from high school? Then you can apply for our art troupe, and then you will have a great chance of staying."
"Thank you for your suggestion. I will seriously consider it."
From the current perspective, the art troupe is indeed a good place to go, with good pay, decent and stable job.
However, she knew that after the 1980s, with the streamlining and reorganization of the army, the military art troupe would also undergo major adjustments, and would then face the dilemma of reducing personnel and merging.
So rather than joining the art troupe, she prefers to take the college entrance examination. During college, the wave of reform will hit, and there will be opportunities everywhere. The treatment will not necessarily be worse than in the art troupe.
While the two were talking, Deputy Head He called Zhou Yunwan's name: "Come out for a moment."
Zhou Yunwan thought that Deputy Director He wanted to talk to her about leaving the art troupe, so she paused while taking off the pearl earrings, told the young lady to help watch over her things, and followed her out.
But she didn't expect that the person looking for her would be Cheng Jinche.
Deputy Head He avoided the question at the right time: "Then you guys chat, I'll leave first."
Cheng Jinche looked at the woman in cheongsam in front of him, his eyes revealing undisguised amazement.
She was wearing a dark blue embroidered cheongsam, her black hair was tied up in a complicated bun, her face was made up, her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, and her lips were beautiful red. She looked dignified and noble, which was not in line with her age, yet she was charming and graceful.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, Zhou Yunwan took the initiative to break the silence: "Director Cheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
