Chapter 106 An Ordinary Visit
At 7:30 in the evening, Cheng Xuyuan arrived at the West City Family Compound where the Shen family lived.
As soon as I walked into the gate of the family compound, I saw Shen Yulin standing in the guard room smoking.
Shen Yulin was wearing a dark green tweed coat. He looked handsome and energetic.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, you are quite punctual!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled. In fact, he arrived a few minutes early. In order not to disturb the Shen family's dinner, he deliberately asked a passerby for the time and then arrived at the right time.
It's really inconvenient without a watch.
After "Desire" is published, I will use the royalties to buy myself a watch.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Yulin, Happy New Year!"
Shen Yulin also responded with a smile: "Happy New Year."
"Come on, let's go upstairs."
Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yulin walked side by side upstairs. As they walked, Shen Yulin couldn't help but say, "Xiao Cheng, I've read "Eating Noodles" and "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor" that you wrote. They're very well written."
"You have expertise in this area. If you develop it well, you will definitely have a bright future!"
Listening to Shen Yulin's emotional words, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Yulin. I was just lucky. I didn't expect these two sketches to be so popular."
Shen Yulin said: "Xiao Cheng, excessive modesty is pride."
"I like to be straightforward. Good is good."
It only took two or three minutes to arrive at the Shen family.
During the conversation, Shen Yulin kept looking at Cheng Xuyuan.
Although they had not seen each other for just over a month, Shen Yulin clearly felt that this young man had an indescribable aura.
This kind of demeanor made him no longer restrained and talk freely.
In Liguotun Township, when he first met Cheng Xuyuan, the timid look on his face had disappeared completely.
The door was opened after just a light knock.
It was Ma Xiaoli who opened the door. She glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said with a smile, "Xiao Cheng is here, come in and sit down!"
At this time in the living room of the Shen family, Shen Yunliang and Shen Yushu were chatting, while Li Xueling was watching TV.
Hearing Ma Xiaoli's words, Shen Yunliang also stood up with a smile.
He looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng is here, come and drink some water to warm up."
Shen Yunliang was also looking at Cheng Xuyuan, but compared with his son, his observation was more secretive.
Cheng Xuyuan was still wearing the same clothes he wore last time.
And judging from their expressions, there seems to be no difference.
His expression is calm and he is not surprised by praise or criticism.
He glanced at his second son standing next to Cheng Xuyuan and felt that although Shen Yulin was several years older, he looked frivolous and not so dignified.
Compared with Cheng Xuyuan, the difference is not just a little bit.
This child!
"Xiao Cheng, are your parents in good health?" Shen Yunliang asked with a smile after Cheng Xuyuan picked up the water glass.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "My family is very nice. When I came back this time, they asked me to say hello to Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen."
Shen Yunliang continued: "Good health is the best asset."
"At our age, the most important thing is a good body!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, you seem to be more energetic this New Year than last year."
As they were talking, Li Xueling brought over a plate of sliced apples.
"Xiao Cheng, eat some fruit."
Compared with her husband's covert gaze, Li Xueling's gaze was somewhat direct.
At this moment, in her eyes, Cheng Xuyuan was not only handsome, but also looked indescribably elegant.
After all, anyone who can write a skit that is praised by everyone must have good literary talent.
"Thank you, Auntie." Cheng Xuyuan said calmly.
"Xiao Cheng, when will you go back to your hometown?" Li Xueling asked casually.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Auntie, I will go back after New Year's Day."
"I just came back from my hometown yesterday."
Shen Yulin picked up an apple and took a bite. "Your leave is long enough. Will Director Niu approve it?"
Shen Yunliang knew why Cheng Xuyuan wanted to go home, and wondered why Niu Changqing didn't approve it.
But at this moment, he did not want to reveal the fact that he knew Cheng Xuyuan had been admitted to university.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yulin who was speaking without meaning it, and said with a smile: "The one-month vacation was awarded to me by Director Niu."
Shen Yulin patted his head and said, "You should be rewarded. After all, you have brought great honor to the Nancheng District Cultural Center this time."
"Now people say that the skits at the South City Cultural Center are well performed."
"Even our unit's art troupe has started rehearsing skits!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "That's good."
Shen Yunliang looked at Shen Yulin who was talking nonstop, and said helplessly: "Yulin, go to the bedside and get my reading glasses."
Although Shen Yulin still wanted to chat, he still had to listen to his father's instructions.
So he ate the apple and quickly went to his father's bedroom.
"Xiao Cheng, your sketch was praised by Mr. Wan. What do you want to do next to develop in this area?" Shen Yunliang asked as he added some water to Cheng Xuyuan's cup.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I plan to write some more skit scripts."
"But my focus in the future will not be on this aspect."
Shen Yushu hadn't said much until he heard Cheng Xuyuan say this, and he immediately understood. He guessed that Cheng Xuyuan's future focus should be on going to college.
Yenching University, my second sister only got a junior college degree, how did he get in?
Could it be that this person's learning quality really depends on his talent? Just as all kinds of thoughts flashed through Shen Yushu's mind, Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the wall clock next to the TV and found that the time was already seven fifty.
The purpose of his coming to the Shen family, in addition to fulfilling his father's arrangement and paying New Year's greetings, was to talk to Shen Yumo about divorce.
But now Shen Yumo hasn't shown up, so let's say goodbye early.
This way everyone can relax.
"Uncle, my dad asked me to bring some fried fruits from my hometown. I want you and aunt to taste our local specialty."
"It's getting late. I won't disturb you to rest. I'll take my leave now."
Shen Yunliang looked at Cheng Xuyuan who stood up and said goodbye, feeling a little disappointed.
Cheng Xuyuan's performance was completely like that of an ordinary junior.
There is a sense of distance in the politeness.
This sense of distance actually also shows that he is no longer prepared to get entangled in his marriage with Shen Yumo.
Although he was disappointed about this, he was able to let it go.
Although Cheng Xuyuan showed extraordinary excellence, there should not be any unforgettable love between him and his daughter.
If there was, it would be impossible for two people to be married for such a long time without sleeping in the same bed.
"Okay, Xiao Cheng, come and play with me more often when you have nothing to do in the future."
"Also, when you write home, thank your father for his kindness on my behalf."
"I heard from Yu Mo that your father is a smoker. You can give this pack of cigarettes to him. It's pretty good to smoke."
Looking at the Red Plum cigarette that Shen Yunliang handed over, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shen. I'll send it to my dad later."
“He’s going to love it.”
Shen Yunliang nodded and said, "Yulin, can you go and see Xiao Cheng off?"
Just as Shen Yulin was about to agree, he saw the door of the room next to him suddenly open, and Shen Yumo, wearing a light blue coat, walked out quietly.
"Dad, I'll go take it there."
Looking at Shen Yumo's determined expression, Shen Yunliang wanted to say no, but in the end he didn't say it.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, then you can see me off."
Shen Yulin wanted to speak at this moment, but in the end he said nothing.
After leaving the house, Shen Yumo remained silent.
When they walked out of the corridor, Cheng Xuyuan felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he stopped and asked with a smile: "How have you been recently?"
"Very good." Shen Yumo said: "You should be doing well too."
How do you know I'm doing well? In fact, I'm doing well.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good, especially after returning to my hometown, I can feel that the city is even better."
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You came to the city and achieved your own success through your own efforts. Congratulations."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "It's just luck, it happened, it's nothing."
"By the way, I heard from Brother Yulin that you seemed to have joined some editorial department?" Cheng Xuyuan asked for the sake of conversation.
Shen Yumo touched his hair and wanted to tell him everything. I am in the editorial department of Yenching Literature and Art, and the ones responsible for communicating with you now are Zhang Dening and I.
It is I who wrote the letter.
But in the end, she didn't say it.
After all, once I say it out, I won’t know what to do in the future.
She didn't know why, but whenever she thought of Cheng Xuyuan, a warm wave would surge in her heart.
"Yu Mo, I think the matter between us should also be..." Cheng Xuyuan paused for a moment, then changed the subject, preparing to talk about the divorce.
But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Second sister, what are you going to do?"
As he said this, a girl wearing a scarf and a red knitted hat rushed towards Shen Yumo.
Seeing this girl, Shen Yumo said, "I'm here to see someone off."
Just then, another girl with a scarf wrapped around her face came over.
"Hello, Sister Yumo."
Seeing this situation, Cheng Xuyuan knew that this was not the time to talk about divorce.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yu Mo, when are you free, let's meet again."
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said, "I know your company's phone number. I'll call you later."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Okay, it's getting dark, I'll leave first, you guys go back too."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan strode towards his residence in the dim moonlight.
"Second sister, who is this?" Because the moonlight was dim, Li Yufei could only see that there was a man walking side by side with her sister, but she couldn't see his appearance clearly.
I can only go by feeling that he is in pretty good shape.
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said, "He is a friend of mine."
At this point, she changed the subject and asked, "Why did you come home so late? What did you do?"
Liang Xiaolu, who was standing next to Li Yufei, said, "My cousin said Xu..."
"We went to play with Xiao Lu's cousin." Li Yufei quickly changed the subject.
For some reason, she didn't want to let her family know that she went to find the author of "The Pursuit of Happyness".
