Chapter 618: Fate is indescribable
The train roars!
Shen Yunliang sat in the sleeper berth of the train, looking a little tired.
But in the midst of tiredness, there is also a hint of joy!
After half a month of hard work, I can finally go home.
Moreover, he felt that he had done a very good job this time, and he believed that he would definitely be appreciated after he returned.
Although he doesn't care about ordinary praise, he still cares about some kinds of praise.
for example……
"Dear passengers, our next stop is Changfeng County, where our train will stop..."
When Shen Yunliang, who was originally thinking about other things, heard the voice on the radio, his heart moved.
Isn’t Changfeng County where my daughter went to work? Cheng Xuyuan is from Changfeng County.
Although this place has nothing to do with my daughter anymore, it is a hurdle that Shen Yumo cannot get around in her life.
If possible, I would definitely stop my daughter from coming to Changfeng County.
Even other counties are fine, as long as I don’t meet Cheng Xuyuan! Just when Shen Yunliang was daydreaming, he heard footsteps.
He didn't think much about it. After all, this berth was not something that ordinary people could sit on.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard someone say, "Brother, this is the car. You are on the lower bunk and I am on the upper bunk."
As he spoke, two people walked in.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man wearing a gray Dacron shirt with two pens in his chest pocket. He looked gentle and refined.
Shen Yunliang didn't like the behavior of putting a pen in the pocket.
He is used to putting a pen in his handbag, but people nowadays like to dress like this, and he can't change it.
The person walking behind was a man who looked to be in his fifties.
Although the man was wearing new clothes, he could not change the habits of the country people.
For example, his movements were stiff and there was a hint of timidity in his eyes.
Shen Yunliang was not very fond of these two uninvited guests.
He originally thought that this time he would be able to occupy a room alone and return to Yanjing in peace.
Now it seems that it is impossible.
But this is normal. After all, there are four bunks here, and it is unlikely that the other three are empty.
Looking at the somewhat reserved countryman, and then at the middle-aged man who looked like a cultured person, he already had some guesses in his mind about the origins of these two people.
But that country guy seems a little familiar.
What's going on? Have I seen it before? But for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
I must have remembered it wrongly. I've gotten older and my brain isn't as good as it used to be.
"Brother, put your luggage here." The middle-aged man who looked gentle and refined put his luggage under the bunk and said to the man who looked like a country boy.
The two of them hurriedly put down their luggage, and the middle-aged man with the pen smiled and said to Shen Yunliang: "Comrade, are you alone here?"
"Yes, I was just alone just now." Although Shen Yunliang was a little unhappy in his heart, his years of self-cultivation still allowed him to have a slight smile on his face.
After all, this is a train. It is convenient for others and for yourself.
The middle-aged man took out a pack of cigarettes and said, "It's fate that we're together. Come and have a cigarette."
Shen Yunliang waved his hand and said, "I used to smoke, but now I always cough and my family doesn't allow me to smoke anymore."
At this point, he smiled and said, "Just smoke, don't worry about me."
The middle-aged man did not let Shen Yunliang's words get in the way. He smiled and said, "I smoked one just now when I got on the bus, so I won't smoke anymore."
At this point, he introduced the country boy who was bunking below him and said, "This is my brother. The two of us are going to Yanjing."
"Where are you going, comrade?"
Shen Yunliang is very familiar with being approached by strangers on the train, and he thinks it is very normal. After all, it is fate that they meet on the train.
When there is nothing to do, chatting is also a way to pass the time.
It's not time to go to bed yet, so it's nice to chat for a while.
He immediately said, "What a coincidence, I am also going to Yanjing."
"Comrade, are you going over there to do some business?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Shen Yunliang said: "I am going home. My last name is Shen, you can just call me Old Shen."
After hearing what Shen Yunliang said, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. Hello, Old Shen. My last name is Cheng, and I work in our county."
"This time my brother and I went to Yanjing to look after the children."
Last name: Cheng!
When Shen Yunliang heard this surname, he felt displeased.
The reason why he did this was very simple, it was because of Cheng Xuyuan.
Although the appearance of Xiao An'an has made him feel a little relieved about Cheng Xuyuan, his daughter's situation still makes him feel bitter.
"Oh, it's good to look after the child." Shen Yunliang forced himself to be cheerful and responded.
Although he somewhat disliked these two people because of Cheng Xuyuan, the etiquette he had developed over the years still forced him to deal with them with all his might.
But after dealing with it, he suddenly thought of a scene.
It was last year or the year before that Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing got engaged.
I went out to eat with my friends and met the father of Fang Gengsheng and Cheng Xuyuan.
At that time, my attention was all on Fang Gengsheng.
But he also took a look at Cheng Xuyuan's father.
This person looks familiar, and his surname is Cheng. He is going to Yanjing to see his child. Could he be Cheng Xuyuan's father?
But he wasn't sure about this.
Just as Shen Yunliang was looking at Cheng Jiaxing, Cheng Jiaxing also glanced at Shen Yunliang.
He really had no impression of Shen Yunliang.
Because when we met, the person who was mainly introduced was Fang Gengsheng.
Cheng Jiaxing was a little nervous and didn't pay much attention to Shen Yunliang at that time.
When he later heard Cheng Xuyuan say that the person he met was Shen Yumo's father, he could no longer remember what Shen Yunliang looked like.
Now that almost two years have passed, he can't remember it anymore.
Even the feeling of familiarity only flashed through my mind.
He felt that he probably didn't know this person.
Shen Yunliang began to doubt, and after a moment's hesitation, he said to the middle-aged man with the pen, "It's not a festival, why are you going to see the children at this time?"
"Does your child work in Yanjing?"
The middle-aged man with the pen was Cheng Jiadong. He did not doubt Shen Yunliang's identity. After all, the two had never dealt with each other.
When I heard Shen Yunliang's words at this time, I thought that Shen Yunliang was just chatting casually.
After all, at times like this, taking the train is a bit too boring.
He smiled and said, "My brother's son is still studying in Yanjing."
"I'm going to graduate this year, and I'm dating someone. We plan to discuss marriage after graduation, so my brother and I are going to Yanjing."
Going to school, getting married, having the last name Cheng, and looking familiar...
Putting all this together, Shen Yunliang was already 80% sure that the two people in front of him were Cheng Xuyuan's father and uncle.
He is also Xiao Anan’s grandfather and uncle.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunliang felt uncomfortable.
He wanted to avoid talking to the two of them, but when he thought of little An An, he felt that he had to give the best consideration to the Buddha. For the sake of his grandson, he couldn't be so cold.
Otherwise, how will we meet in the future! While he was thinking about this, he said to Cheng Jiaxing, "Brother, your son is so lucky to be able to go to school in Yanjing!"
"What university are you going to?"
Cheng Jiaxing asked in confusion: "How do you know my son is in college?"
"What else can you go to in Yanjing besides university?" Shen Yunliang said casually.
His words did not make the Cheng Jiaxing brothers doubt.
Cheng Jiadong was afraid that his brother would not be able to answer any questions and thus lose face, so he smiled and said, "You guessed right, my nephew is going to college."
"He is now a senior student at Yanda University and will graduate this year."
Senior year at Yan University, this is happening again.
In other words, the two people in front of him are 90% certain to be Cheng Xuyuan's father and uncle!
Isn't this a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road? Although he was very confident, Shen Yunliang still decided to play it safe.
He pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, these are the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. It's really amazing."
“And it’s Yanda.”
"Brother's child is really promising."
At this point, he seemed to feel that it was a bit embarrassing to say this, so he smiled and said, "My child also studies at Yan University."
“It is also the first batch after the resumption of the college entrance examination.”
At this point, Shen Yunliang saw that both Cheng Jiaxing and his brother were paying attention to him, so he continued, "Our child is studying Chinese. I wonder what your child is studying?"
Cheng Jiaxing was not familiar with categories like the Chinese department.
So when faced with Shen Yunliang's question, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, he felt in his heart that since he had met Cheng Xuyuan's father, they would be closer.
He was a little unable to put it into words, but Cheng Jiadong could.
He said to Shen Yunliang with a hint of admiration: "Brother, you really have a good way of educating your child to be able to go to Yanda University!"
"My nephew studied history."
"Literature and history are inseparable. Maybe they really know each other."
As soon as Cheng Jiadong said this, Shen Yunliang was 100% sure in his heart that this was Cheng Xuyuan's father and uncle.
This is really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!
Although this can be said to be a case of destiny meeting each other despite being thousands of miles apart, Shen Yunliang feels that the description of "enemies meeting on a narrow road" is more appropriate.
After all, there is really a grudge between their family and Cheng Xuyuan's family!
Shen Yunliang wanted to smile to show his calmness.
But unfortunately, he really couldn't laugh.
After all, it's hard for most people to laugh at this kind of thing.
"Haha, you should know each other. There are not many people in each of their majors, and the places where they study are close to each other." When Shen Yunliang said these words, he felt a little pain in his heart.
A thought now arose in his mind, that is, whether he should continue talking to Cheng Xuyuan's father.
If I continue to speak, will I reveal my identity? If I don't speak, I may not have another chance in the future.
But if I were to say something, what would I say?
If he revealed his identity as Shen Yumo's father, could he and his two brothers from the Cheng family really continue to talk happily?
Shen Yunliang has no confidence about this.
He felt that the more likely it was that with several people together, it would become increasingly awkward.
But I won’t say it…
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Cheng Jiadong say, "Brother, you are absolutely right. It is fate that we can ride in the same car."
“Now our children are attending the same school, which is even more fate.”
"Did you have dinner, mate?"
"When we came here, we got on the bus in a hurry, so we didn't eat anything."
"But when I got on the bus, I bought a roast chicken and some braised dishes."
"If you don't mind, let's have a nice drink."
"Have a good sleep. Maybe you'll be in Yanjing when you open your eyes."
Cheng Xuyuan's father and uncle invited me to drink? If we count from Shen Yumo's side, it seems that they should really treat me to a drink.
Not to mention Xiao Anan's side.
I don’t know what Shen Yunliang was thinking, but he actually agreed to drink.
After hearing Shen Yunliang's response, Cheng Jiadong quickly took out a roast chicken, a bag of peanuts, and a bag of chopped pork head from his bag.
At that time, this was already a very sumptuous appetizer.
Smelling the aroma of the pig head, Shen Yunliang actually felt hungry.
"Old Shen, let's have a drink to celebrate the fact that we can get together and drink." Cheng Jiadong took out a bottle of Fenjiu and poured one-third of it into the teacup used by the three of them to drink water.
When Shen Yunliang heard what Cheng Jiadong said, he felt a surge of emotion.
He felt that this reason for the toast was really very appropriate.
Because it is really not easy for them to get together.
As the wine entered his mouth, Shen Yunliang felt a bitter taste in his heart.
At the beginning of drinking, the three of them just chatted casually.
In fact, the one who spoke the most was Cheng Jiadong, while Cheng Jiaxing just drank with them and said very little.
He has a very clear understanding of his speaking ability.
Afraid of saying something wrong.
And Shen Yunliang was very cautious in his words at the beginning, but slowly, as he drank more than half of the wine in the teacup, his mind began to wander.
When Shen Yunliang heard that Cheng Jiaxing went to Yanjing this time to discuss his child's marriage with his in-laws, he became a little angry.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan's marriage means that everything is settled.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of wine, then glanced at Cheng Jiaxing and said, "Brother Cheng, your son is quite outstanding to be able to find a girlfriend in Yanjing."
"I just don't know why he didn't find a partner before he got into college?"
"I heard that in your place, young people look for partners quite early?"
As soon as he said this, Cheng Jiaxing and Cheng Jiadong, who were drinking, were stunned.
They really didn't expect that Old Shen, who had just been talking to them with a smile and seemed gentle and elegant, would actually ask such a sharp question.
This is really a bit difficult to answer.
How could Mr. Shen ask such a question?
And how should the two of them answer this question? Just as the two of them were hesitating, Shen Yunliang had already put down the teacup and looked at them with a smile.
