Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie arrived home, and the door was still open. They pushed open the half-closed door and went into the house. Before going upstairs, they went to the living room to greet Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying and told them that they were back.
Ruan Changfu was drinking tea and reading a magazine, while Feng Xiuying was sitting next to him knitting a sweater.
Ruan Changfu showed his routine concern for Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, and asked them, "What did you do today?"
It was not something that could not be said, so Ruan Xi answered frankly, "I went to the theater to watch a performance."
Hearing this, Ruan Changfu seemed quite interested, and his expression brightened as he asked, "Oh? What was being performed today?"
Ruan Xi had no intention of standing and chatting with him for a long time, and simply answered, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy."
Ruan Changfu went on to say, "This play is quite interesting. Yang Zirong fought a group of bandits with wisdom and courage."
After that, he asked, "Did you two go by yourselves?"
Ruan Xi said, "No, there were also Xu Zhuo and the others, plus Xiao Jie and I, a total of seven people."
Hearing this, Feng Xiuying stopped knitting a sweater and looked up at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie.
Ruan Changfu's drinking movements also slowed down. He put down his old enamel teacup with the bottom chipped on the tea table, sat up straight and looked at Ruan Xi for a moment, cleared his throat and asked, "What is your relationship with Xu Zhuo now?"
Ruan Xi still said naturally, "Nothing, revolutionary friendship, ordinary friends."
Ruan Changfu's expression did not change much, he was still relaxed, and his tone of voice was still normal. He looked at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie and said, "You are young and inexperienced, I have to say a few words to you. Don't think that those boys have a good family and they will be confused without any effort. Falling in love at this age will only do you harm and no good. They are now in the second year of high school. They will have to join the army after graduation this year. They will have to break up in half a year. What future can there be with you guys?"
Ruan Xi accepted his advice in this regard and said, "Don't worry, although we are young and don't have much experience, we are not without brains. We know what to do and what not to do."
Ruan Changfu felt relieved subconsciously after hearing her words, and said, "It's okay as long as you know it."
Ruan Xi didn't want to stand and talk to him anymore, "Then let's go upstairs."
Ruan Changfu nodded, "Go."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie turned around and went upstairs with their schoolbags on their backs.
After they went upstairs, Feng Xiuying looked at Ruan Changfu and said, "We all went out to see a show together, and you just said these two words and then you don't care? They grew up in the countryside and probably don't know what's good or bad. How can they not feel dizzy when they see these boys? If you don't take good care of them now, and they really do something shameful, it will be too late to regret it! I can't control them."
Ruan Changfu was not worried, "Didn't you hear it? It's the seventh Eight people went to see it together, not just two people. You can tell from what this girl said that she knows everything in her heart, she is not confused."
Feng Xiuying twisted the wool with her fingers, "I don't see where she understands."
Ruan Changfu didn't want to talk to her more about Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie had a lot of problems. There were problems everywhere in them, and sometimes they couldn't even breathe properly. No matter how much she talked, she would not change her mind about them.
He did not mention Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie again, but changed the subject and asked, "What did Qiu Wen do today?"
Feng Xiuying knitted her sweater and said, "She went out to play with a few female classmates."
Ruan Changfu turned his head and looked outside, "What are they doing? Why haven't they come back so late?"
Feng Xiuying said, "Girls just eat and drink. They must not have finished dinner yet."
Ye Qiu Wen was always thorough in her work, so Ruan Changfu did not ask any more questions and continued to flip through magazines.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went upstairs and opened the door, and Ruan Qiuyue came in from her room.
Ruan Qiuyue followed into the room and asked with a smile: "How was it? Was the performance good?"
Ruan Jie smiled and said: "It was good, more interesting than watching a movie. It felt good to see the curtain slowly opening."
Ruan Qiuyue sat down at the desk and said with great interest: "Cousin, can you tell me about it?"
Ruan Jie had just finished watching the play and naturally wanted to tell about it. When she was with Xu Zhuo and the others just now, she did not interrupt them, so now she sat down at the desk and told Ruan Qiuyue about this model opera seriously.
While they were chatting, Ruan Xi took some clean clothes and went to wash up.
When she finished washing up and drying her hair and returned to the room, Ruan Jie had finished telling Ruan Qiuyue about the model opera.
Ruan Qiuyue was satisfied after listening to it, so she let Ruan Jie take the clothes and wash up.
Ruan Xi didn't rush to sleep after taking a shower, and sat by the desk waiting for her hair to dry.
Seeing that she didn't want to sleep, Ruan Qiuyue naturally didn't go back to her room, and sat by the desk chatting with her.
When Ruan Jie came back after washing up, the three of them read for a while and sat under the desk lamp to do some math problems.
The room became quiet, with only the sound of pages turning and noses turning on the pages.
After working on the questions for a while, Ruan Jie began to feel troubled, so she pushed the extracurricular exercise in her hand to Ruan Xi and asked her, "Sister, do you know how to solve this question? I've been thinking about it for a long time but can't find a solution."
Ruan Xi took her exercise booklet, used a pencil to calculate on the draft paper for a while, and then called Ruan Jie, "Come here, I'll give you an idea, you try it again, and I'll tell you if you can't solve it."
Ruan Jie nodded and came over to listen to Ruan Xi's ideas.
After listening to her, she followed Ruan Xi's train of thought and tried to do it for a while. After a while, she suddenly understood. She took a pen and quickly wrote down all the steps to solve the problem. Then she laughed and said, "Sister, I did it."
Ruan Xi encouraged her, "You will be able to do it if you do it more."
Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue were lying under the desk lamp reading and doing exercises. There was a semi-new round mechanical alarm clock on the desk. The hands on the clock face turned one by one, and the minute hand and the second hand overlapped with a ding. It was exactly ten o'clock in the evening.
Ruan Qiuyue began to feel sleepy. She couldn't help yawning, and her eyes became wet.
Just when she was about to close the book and go back to her room to sleep, she suddenly heard a knock on the door downstairs.
Because there was nothing to do at night, there was no nightlife in this era, and everyone went to bed early at night. Ten o'clock was considered very late. Everyone in the house was asleep, so after the knock on the door for a while, no one went to open the door.
Ruan Qiuyue was a little sleepy, blinking and asked: "Is it our door?"
Ruan Xi's life and work routine have been following this era for several years, and she is also sleepy from reading. But she doesn't look as sleepy as Ruan Qiuyue. She raised her hand and pressed her temples and said: "It should be, Ye Qiuwen is back."
"Ye Qiuwen?"
Ruan Qiuyue took a long time to react, "Yes, she seems to have gone out today too."
The knocking sound downstairs rang again, but no one went to open the door after listening for a long time. Ruan Qiuyue had no choice but to stand up and said as she walked: "Forget it, I'll go open the door for her, otherwise I'll wake everyone up."
She yawned and went out of the room and went downstairs. She went to the front door and opened it, and sure enough, she saw Ye Qiuwen outside. She didn't say hello to Ye Qiuwen, but opened the door and went back upstairs, pretending that she didn't see Ye Qiuwen.
At this time, Feng Xiuying came out again, and when she saw Ye Qiuwen, she hurriedly said: "I fell asleep while waiting, did you knock for a long time? It's so late, go upstairs to take a shower and go to bed."
Ye Qiuwen didn't say anything, nodded and went upstairs.
After Ruan Qiuyue went upstairs, she did not look for Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie again. She returned to her room and lay down to sleep directly.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie were in the room listening to Ye Qiuwen going upstairs and entering the room. After a while, she went out of the room to wash up in the bathroom.
Ruan Jie whispered, "She came back so late? We came back just after dark, and uncle and aunt told us so much, why didn't they care about her? She went on a date with a boy alone and came back so late. This is obviously a problem."
Ruan Xi said, "They may not know that she went on a date with a boy."
Ruan Jie thought for a while and said, "Yeah, she certainly won't tell."
After that, she stared at Ruan Xi for a while and asked, "Should we tell them?" "Do you want to let Uncle Su know?"
Ruan Xi raised her head to look at her, "Do you want to get involved in his family's affairs? Even if you tell her, Ye Qiuwen will not admit it. Based on the impressions we both have on Feng Xiuying, do you think they will believe us or Ye Qiuwen? You may be afraid that Ye Qiuwen will go astray, but people will only think that you are jealous of her and framed her, causing trouble for no reason."
Ruan Jie cleared his throat, "Forget it." It's better not to
meddle in other people's business.
Ruan Xi hummed: "Don't meddle in what you can't control."
This is the love between the male and female protagonists that transcends all worldly rules. Nothing can stop it, and it is so hot that it is about to burn. The more they can't be together, the more they can't help but be together regardless of everything.
Reality is not within the scope of consideration, love is more important than everything.
The original novel unfolds with the love story between the two of them. Love is the ultimate belief, and everything else is at the service of love. However, this love story is not smooth and sweet, and there are many
twists and turns in the middle. The two people opened their hearts to each other since their youth, regardless of other things and fearing the future. They experienced countless twists and turns in the middle, but in the end they were still full of determination. The lovers finally got married and became an enviable couple.
The twists and turns in their love are caused by the times and some by humans.
The twists and turns caused by the times are separations that have to be faced, and the twists and turns caused by humans are that someone maliciously set up obstacles in the middle, creating difficulties and obstacles for them, and trying their best to break them up and separate them.
The original Ruan Xi was one of the stumbling blocks in their love.
Ruan Xi naturally would not waste time being the vicious female partner between them, and she would not let Ruan Jie get involved. Whether it was with good intentions or malicious fighting, they would not gain any benefits because Feng Xiuying did not believe them.
Let others create the twists and turns in their love.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie did not talk about Ye Qiuwen anymore. They were tired from studying, so they packed up their books and stationery and prepared to go to bed.
While packing her schoolbag, Ruan Jie suddenly found a piece of chocolate in her schoolbag.
She reached out and took it out, only to find that it was the piece that Chen Weidong gave her in the theater that afternoon but she did not want. She was holding the chocolate for a while, and suddenly she heard Ruan Xi say, "Huh? Did Chen Weidong secretly give it to you?"
Ruan Jie came back to her senses and looked at Ruan Xi, "I don't know either."
Ruan Xi smiled, "I saw it, it's the very expensive one."
Thinking of what happened in the theater, Ruan Jie couldn't help but blushing again. She lowered her head embarrassedly, stuffed the chocolate into her schoolbag and said, "I'll return it to him tomorrow."
Ruan Xi looked at her and said nothing more.
Ruan Changfu actually said everything that should be said before going back upstairs.
Ruan Xi herself is not that old, of course she won't be dizzy because of a box of ice cream and two pieces of chocolate, but Ruan Jie is that age, and she is actually a little worried that she will fall into it.
But even though she was worried, she would not interfere too much with Ruan Jie. She needed to make her own decisions on such matters.
In the morning, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie would go to school with Ruan Hongjun, Ye Fan, Ruan Qiuyue, and Ruan Hongbing, and would rarely run into Xu Zhuo and the others. Ruan Xi suspected that they all slept in the morning and skipped classes, and did not go to school at all.
The brothers and sisters walked to the school gate, three went to the elementary school, and three went to the junior high and high school.
As summer vacation was approaching, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was not cool in the morning. After
finishing classes in the morning and going home at noon, the sun above their heads was even more scorching.
Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong were waiting for them at the school gate, and as usual, they would go home together if they met.
When they entered the compound and reached the fork in the road, Ruan Jie did not turn around and leave immediately, but suddenly took out chocolate from her schoolbag, handed it to Chen Weidong and said, "I'll give it back to you. Don't buy me anything in the future. I can't afford it."
After that, she stuffed the chocolate into Chen Weidong's hand and took Ruan Xi away.
She was different from Ruan Xi. Ruan Xi could accept the things Xu Zhuo bought because Ruan Xi had the money to buy things back and treat all of them to such an expensive meal, but she didn't have this ability.
Chen Weidong was stunned for a moment and shouted from behind, "I didn't ask you to pay it back!"
Ruan Jie turned her head and said, "I don't want it either!"
Although she was indeed timid and ignorant, she also knew that if you take advantage of others, you will be in trouble. Her grandmother taught her since she was young that she should not ask for other people's things casually, and that she should return the things she ate.
Chen Weidong stood there and watched Ruan Jie walk away, kicking the stones on the ground for a long time.
Xu Zhuo looked at him with a schadenfreude and smiled, "Or give it to me, or it will melt if I don't eat it."
Chen Weidong threw the chocolate directly into his hand, "Eat, eat, eat!"
Xu Zhuo was not polite, he tore the chocolate and put it in his mouth to bite a piece, while eating he nodded and said affirmatively: "Well, expensive things are different, it really tastes good."
Chen Weidong: "..."
What kind of people are he friends with!
When Xu Zhuo was eating chocolate and teasing Chen Weidong, Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang just walked past them.
Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang were people who could not talk to them, so they usually just walked past them normally, but today Ruan Qiuyang couldn't help it. After walking a few steps, she suddenly pulled Ye Qiuwen back and stood in front of Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong. They
were not familiar with each other, so Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong looked at them and said nothing.
Ye Qiuwen wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ruan Qiuyang.
Ruan Qiuyang took a breath and plucked up his courage and said, "You treat Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie as your friends, and buy them this and that every day. They are happy when they receive the things, but do you know what they say about you behind your back?"
Since it was Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie's topic, Xu Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ruan Qiuyang and said, "What did she say?"
Ruan Qiuyang held his breath and said, "She said you are gangsters and she doesn't like you at all."
Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong's faces darkened when they heard this.
Ruan Qiuyang was secretly happy, thinking that Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong were so concerned about their reputation that they would definitely get angry. They might not look for Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie to play with them in the future, let alone buy them this and that. They might even humiliate and retaliate against them.
Can these people tolerate others calling them hooligans and saying that they look down on them?
As a result, she didn't even have half a minute to be secretly happy, Chen Weidong raised his eyebrows and said to her: "It's none of your business! They look down on us, are you happy? They came here to laugh at us?"
Ruan Qiuyang didn't know that Chen Weidong had just been rejected by Ruan Jie, and this was just a shot in the arm. She was even a little confused - she told them kindly, and they should be angry with Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, why were they angry with her!
She said, "I'm just telling you out of kindness, so you
don't get fooled..." Chen Weidong was just so angry that he took it out on Ruan Qiuyang, saying to her, "I'm happy to be fooled, and I'm afraid they won't fool me enough. What's it to you? Get out of here!"
Ruan Qiuyang: "!!!"
What a psycho!
The word "psycho" was on her lips, and she almost vomited it out. But she still remembered who the two people standing in front of her were, and how they must not be provoked, so she swallowed the three words.
She didn't dare to say anything else, and Ye Qiuwen pulled her, and she followed her.
After walking a few steps, she looked back and saw Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong had also left. Ruan Qiuyang said in a depressed tone, "Could it be that Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie know some kind of witchcraft? Are they possessed by evil spirits?"
Ye Qiuwen whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, this is feudal superstition."
Ruan Qiuyang was depressed - if she had known earlier, she would not have said it. She was scolded for nothing. It was really unlucky!
When she sat down to eat at home, she was still angry. She thought that Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie might be some kind of witches. They must have cast a spell on Xu Zhuo and his friends, so Xu Zhuo and his friends became like this.
Of course, she thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She had to learn from it.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie didn't know that she had gone to Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong to get herself scolded, so they naturally ignored her and Ye Qiuwen as usual. They didn't talk much at the dinner table, just listened to what others were saying.
Ruan Changfu was in a hurry in the morning and didn't have time, so he asked Ye Qiuwen: "Qiuwen, what time did you come back last night?"
Before Ye Qiuwen could answer, Ruan Qiuyue replied: "Ten o'clock."
As soon as Ruan Qiuyue finished speaking, Ye Qiuwen's expression froze for a moment, and she was going to say breakfast.
After hearing what Ruan Changfu said, Ruan Qiuyue asked, "Where have you been? Why are you so late?"
Ye Qiuwen said calmly, "I was going to come back after dinner, but on the way I met an old lady who couldn't find her home, so we sent the old lady home. Her memory was not very good, and she searched for a long time, so she came back late."
In fact, she planned to come back after watching the show, but sometimes reason will be led away by emotions. When the emotions are strong, she wished they would never be separated. Unknowingly, she delayed it later and later, and came back late.
Ruan Changfu didn't have any doubts when he heard her say this, he just said: "We really can't just ignore it, the later it is, the more it deserves praise."
Ye Qiuwen pursed her lips and said: "This is what every one of us should do."
Ruan Changfu then started the ideological and moral education class again, and said to the others at the dinner table: "You all should learn from your eldest sister's helpful spirit. If you meet someone in need of help outside, you must help."
Ruan Xi couldn't help but cleared his throat subconsciously while eating.
Ruan Changfu looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"
She had no intention of speaking, but when asked, Ruan Xi had to clear her throat again and said: "I went to the theater to watch a show yesterday afternoon. There was a very uncivilized person sitting next to me. He kept smoking. I inhaled second-hand smoke for more than ten minutes. My throat has been a little uncomfortable since I woke up today. It's dry and itchy."
Hearing this, Ye Qiuwen suddenly raised her head and looked at Ruan Xi, her face tense.
Ruan Changfu didn't pay attention to Ye Qiuwen. He just looked at Ruan Xi and said, "Your throat is uncomfortable, so drink more water."
Ruan Xi didn't care about Ye Qiuwen's reaction and replied to Ruan Changfu, "I drank a lot this morning."
At this time, Ruan Hongjun heard the topic that interested him, and hurriedly continued, "Sister, did you go to the theater to watch a performance with your cousin yesterday? I was wondering where you were. I didn't see you for a long time, and you didn't come back until the evening."
Ruan Xi looked at him and smiled, "Yes, many people from our school went to watch it. There was a representative of outstanding students like Sister Qiuwen. He was in the same class as Xu Zhuo and his name was Lu Yuanzheng. He went too."
Hearing this, Ye Qiuwen's face turned red instantly, and she quickly lowered her head. The knuckles of her fingers holding the chopsticks turned white.
Ruan Changfu continued Ruan Xi's words, "Yes, that child is also excellent."
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Excellent people are worth learning from. Please continue to talk about Sister Qiuwen's helpfulness."
Ruan Changfu cleared his throat and found the topic again, and continued to use Ye Qiuwen's matter to teach ideological and moral education. When
Ye Qiuwen heard these words again, her face seemed to be slapped, and the redness on her cheeks became heavier.
Ruan Qiuyue stared at her for a while, and said in a gap between Ruan Changfu's words: "Sister Qiuwen, Dad is praising you for being helpful, why do you keep your head down, and your face is particularly red, is Dad's praise wrong?"
Ye Qiuwen smiled hurriedly, "The weather is too hot."
Feng Xiuying heard this and immediately handed Ye Qiuwen a fan, asking her to fan herself before eating.
Ye Qiuwen took the fan and fanned herself, feeling the heat on her face was relieved a little, then she picked up her chopsticks to eat again.
Ruan Changfu's ideological and moral class was interrupted again. He looked at Ye Qiuwen, then at Ruan Xi and Ruan Qiuyue, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
