Chapter 78 Is Everything Fate?
Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yunliang drank a glass of wine and toasted Shen Yushu and Shen Yulin respectively.
He and Shen Yushu had very little contact, and they only met once at the station. It can be said that the two were strangers.
However, Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yulin had a lot of contact.
It can be said that it was Shen Yulin who brought him to Yanjing.
So when he toasted Shen Yulin, the smile on his face became even more pronounced.
At this moment, Shen Yulin was filled with emotion.
He watched the performances of "Eating Noodles" and "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor" and knew that Cheng Xuyuan, who was introduced to Mr. Wan, had a bright future.
Looking at him calmly raising his glass, Shen Yulin found it difficult to connect this person with the Cheng Xuyuan in his memory.
"Keep up the good work, Xiao Cheng!"
Cheng Xuyuan said thank you and drank the wine in the glass again.
After drinking the glass of wine, Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Ma Xiaoli and others, and was ready to finish pouring the wine.
After all, the women in the family don't drink alcohol, so there's no point in him toasting them.
At this time, Shen Yunliang was introducing Shen Yumo, Li Yufei and others.
As an elder, Meng Dezhi smiled and said a few words of encouragement to everyone when Shen Yunliang was introducing them.
Appears very amiable.
Especially after hearing that Shen Yumo had just returned to the city and was working as an editor at Yanjing Literature and Art, he smiled and said, "Yumo, you've suffered a lot in the countryside for a few years!"
"But the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I believe that you will finally have a happy ending after all the hardships."
"By the way, Yumo, where are you working in the countryside?"
Shen Yumo said calmly: "Mr. Meng, the place where I went to the countryside is Changfeng County."
Meng Dezhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Changfeng County, um, it sounds a bit familiar, but I can't remember when I heard it."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Meng Dezhi's expression and thought to himself, when we were chatting, you asked me where I was from, how come you forgot now! Fortunately, you forgot now! Shen Yumo smiled and didn't say anything.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Xuyuan and Meng Dezhi said goodbye and left.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Cheng Xuyuan, Meng Dezhi and others walked out of the Yanjing Roast Duck Restaurant.
In the dim light, the cold wind howled.
However, Meng Dezhi, who had drunk some wine, smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, let's take a walk. It's not too far anyway."
Seeing that Meng Dezhi didn't want to find a car, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to accompany him.
Mo Yunqi and Fang Yuqing followed behind the two men, chatting as they walked in the light coming from the alley.
In fact, the chat was mainly between Cheng Xuyuan and Meng Dezhi talking, while Mo Yunqi and Fang Yuqing were listening.
But halfway through the walk, Mo Yunqi suddenly said, "Yuqing, when you go to college, you have to watch out for a certain type of person."
Mo Yunqi's instructions immediately attracted the attention of Meng Dezhi and Cheng Xuyuan.
After all, Mo Yunqi usually spoke in a very casual manner, but now her tone was a bit serious.
"Aunt, you say." Fang Yuqing also said solemnly.
Mo Yunqi said: "I went to work this morning and heard something."
"A prospective college student who had been admitted to a university insisted on divorcing his current wife, and in the end the woman wanted to jump into the river. Fortunately, it was discovered early."
"Hey, what do you call this?"
After hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan felt sorry for the woman.
However, Mo Yunqi's next words made him tremble.
Because Mo Yunqi said: "When you go to college, if you meet a divorced guy, stay away from him."
"Although this kind of person cannot be killed with one blow, at least, nine out of ten are Chen Shimei!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly shuddered.
Because next, his marriage seemed to be ending in divorce.
According to Mo Yunqi's logic, wouldn't I also be among these Chen Shimei's?
Under the dim light, no one noticed Cheng Xuyuan's embarrassment. Fang Yuqing smiled and said, "Aunt, I know."
"Don't worry, my eyes are still sharp."
As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
Of course, in the dim light, no one else noticed her little action.
The discussion on this topic did not last too long, after all, this topic is quite simple.
When they arrived at the small white building where Meng Dezhi lived, Meng Dezhi asked, "Xiao Cheng, will you come back before the Chinese New Year when you return to your hometown this time?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "The museum gave me a month's vacation. I plan to take a few more days off and spend the New Year in the village."
"Come back after the New Year."
Meng Dezhi nodded and said, "That's good."
"By the way, now that you are back home, don't relax too much. You still need to write the manuscript."
"I advise you to sort out the fifteenth year of Wanli."
“I think this is pretty good after writing it.”
Hearing Meng Dezhi bring up the matter again, Cheng Xuyuan could only evade the question by saying, "I'll think about it again."
Meng Dezhi didn't force it. He said to Mo Yunqi, "Go home and find some industrial coupons or cloth coupons for Xiao Cheng. It won't be good for him to come home empty-handed this time."
Mo Yunqi agreed and pulled Fang Yuqing upstairs.
Cheng Xuyuan wanted to refuse, but in the end, he swallowed the words that were about to be said.
Although he had more than 200 yuan in his hand, money alone was not enough to buy things.
For example, to buy jadeite cigarettes, you need cigarette tickets.
Not to mention the more scarce items.
In just two minutes, Mo Yunqi and Fang Yuqing came down again.
Mo Yunqi held a stack of tickets in his hand and handed them to Cheng Xuyuan, saying, "Xiao Cheng, these are the only tickets we have at home for now. If you want to buy anything, let Lao Meng find another way."
"Thank you Aunt Mo, this has helped me a lot."
"I'll come back after the New Year and bother you again."
Mo Yunqi smiled and said, "We are all family, why should we be polite?"
"Xiao Cheng, if there is anything urgent, please call me. You must remember Lao Meng's office phone number."
After saying goodbye to Meng Dezhi's family, Cheng Xuyuan walked towards the Nancheng District Literary Association.
In the cold night, there are very few pedestrians, but occasionally, one or two firecrackers can be heard.
On the last day of the Gregorian year, some people also stayed up all night.
For some reason, Cheng Xuyuan thought of what Mo Yunqi had just said.
Although he didn't feel any guilt about this situation.
But being categorized as Chen Shimei doesn't feel very good anyway.
Should I talk to Shen Yumo about this marriage and get a divorce early?
It avoids any entanglement and makes no one feel comfortable.
If Shen Yunliang was concerned about work, then after he reported to the university and was no longer an employee of the cultural center, this concern would no longer exist.
In that case, the last obstacle to divorce will be gone.
When I came back from home, I told Shen Yumo about this matter.
Before going to school, I had to settle this matter once and for all.
Before he knew it, Cheng Xuyuan returned to the building where he lived.
Although it was already past ten o'clock, the lights were on in most people's homes.
I could even faintly hear the sound of singing.
The new year is approaching, and it seems that many people are celebrating.
But he had to go to bed early today, after all, he had to go home tomorrow. With the tickets given by Meng Dezhi and his wife, he also had to go to the department store to bring some things home.
No matter how you look at it, I can be considered to have returned home in glory this time.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was striding up the stairs, the Shen family also returned home.
Shen Yushu took away Chaoyun and Zhaoxia, who had been playing all day, and Shen Yulin and others also returned to their rooms, and the house soon became quiet.
Shen Yunliang returned to his room and couldn't help but pick up a cigarette.
Li Xueling looked at Shen Yunliang who was lighting a cigarette and couldn't help but said, "Old Shen, it's already this late, and you still want to smoke. I tell you, smoke less, it's not good for your lungs."
In the past, whenever Li Xueling said this, he would put down his cigarette.
But this time, he still lit it.
Li Xueling frowned and wanted to persuade her again, but in the end she didn't say anything.
After taking two puffs, he said to Li Xueling, "Do you think there is still a chance for Yu Mo and Xiao Cheng?"
Li Xueling was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Old Shen, what do you mean by that?"
"Do you still want the two of them to be together?"
Shen Yunliang took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Actually, Xiao Cheng is pretty good."
Li Xueling thought for a moment and said, "Old Shen, when we transferred Xiao Cheng here, we had already agreed to divorce."
"If we see that Xiao Cheng has achieved something now, let them be together again."
"What do you think Xiao Cheng will think of our Yu Mo?"
Hearing this, Shen Yunliang smoked a little harder.
Yes, this is all wishful thinking.
From the way Cheng Xuyuan treated her, she should be able to sense his distance from her family.
"You're right." Shen Yunliang said, "I thought this matter was too simple."
"Okay, I won't say any more."
Li Xueling asked: "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
"Do you think that Elder Wan and the others admire Cheng Xuyuan, so you think he is not bad?"
Shen Yunliang said: "There are some reasons for this."
"Also, let me tell you something. Don't tell Yu Mo."
Li Xueling immediately became curious, after all, her husband was rarely so serious.
She said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
"I promise not to tell Yu Mo."
"Cheng Xuyuan was admitted to university. His scores were very high, so he should be able to be admitted to Yenching University."
Shen Yunliang spoke in a low voice, but his words sounded like a thunderclap in Li Xueling's ears.
If just now, she felt that her precious daughter and Cheng Xuyuan could not continue, then now, she felt that she and Shen Yunliang were really short-sighted.
Such a good son-in-law was not caught.
College student! This is a college student who can go to Yenching University! A college student from Yenching University who can write a short play that was highly praised by Mr. Wan, this is a good son-in-law that is hard to find even with a lantern!
However, such a rare son-in-law was rejected by his own family without hesitation.
This... this is really a lack of vision!
After a long pause, Li Xueling couldn't help but ask, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Did Cheng Xuyuan really get admitted to Yanjing University?"
"He didn't lie to you, did he?"
Shen Yunliang sighed and said, "I don't think he has any need to lie to me about this matter."
"After all, it won't do him any good."
"Mr. Meng is also here!"
Li Xueling stopped talking. At this moment, she felt mixed emotions and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly turned to Shen Yunliang and said, "Tell me, is this my daughter's fate?"
"The two of them, is there still a possibility?"
Hearing his wife asking the same question, Shen Yunliang didn't know what to say.
"when!"
The clock in the living room chimed softly.
Shen Yunliang glanced at the watch on the desk. It was midnight! The new year was coming!
The third update is here, with 10,000 words. I’m begging for your support, and I hope you can continue to release more updates tomorrow!
