Chapter 166 Chapter 166 Countdown to the End (I)...
Recently, Cheng Yu has been in a bad mood.
Because he was about to leave for Northeast Polytechnic University to take the special recruitment examination.
But he couldn't bear to leave home, and couldn't bear to leave Litchi.
As for their future,
Lizhi had never had a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Cheng Yu didn't dare to bring it up.
During this period of time, Cheng Yu has stopped operating the car factory.
Now he stays at home every day. After studying, he cooks and inspects the house. If he finds something that needs repair, he will start immediately...
As a result, Cheng Yu and Su Tianli's home became more and more beautiful and more and more lively.
Now that summer has arrived, the flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables in the yard are growing lushly.
The bamboo shed was already covered with vines of loofah, bitter gourd, cucumber, grapes, etc.
However, only two loofahs were ripe.
Other fruits are not yet ripe, but these are so abundant that it makes people happy just by looking at them.
The flowers in the corner are also budding and blooming.
White jasmine, gardenia,
Yellow frangipani,
Purple double daisy,
There is also a very luxuriant bougainvillea...
There is also a small vegetable patch where chives, garlic sprouts, leeks, eggplants, tomatoes, cabbage, mustard greens and the like are planted, and they are also growing very lushly.
Cheng Yu carried a bucket of water and a spoon to water the fruits and vegetables, wondering if there were enough vegetables in the yard to eat the lychees.
As soon as he left, she was the only one left at home.
Even if she eats three meals a day at home, with a melon and a handful of vegetables for each meal...
There aren't many opportunities to buy groceries.
Forget it, she'd better not eat it at home.
She has a small appetite, so no matter how much she cooks for one person, the meal will always be too much.
It would be best if my cousin Qianzi could move in with her.
This way the litchi won’t be lonely.
But--
Lizhi and Qianzi are both girls.
Although the public security is still acceptable nowadays, there is still room for accidents. It would be best to let my father-in-law move here as well.
In this way, Qianzi can help Lizhi with cooking and other things, and Lizhi won't have to suffer;
Although my father-in-law has a bad lumbar spine, he has recovered well after years of rest and is still very strong. With him in charge, Litchi can be safe.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh and started to plan his vacation again.
He has already inquired about it. After school starts in September, there will be three days off for National Day. Together with the weekend, there will be a maximum of four days. When the time comes, he will look at the course schedule and maybe he can get back the first and last two days... at most he can make six days.
In six days, he took a train from the Northeast back to Guangzhou, which took two days and two nights;
Including the return trip,
That means he can come back and stay for two days during the National Day holiday.
There is also a busy farming season in early November, so we will also have a holiday.
Usually three to five days.
Then he can come back again...
New Year's Day is close to the end of the semester, so there will probably be no holidays
I may have to wait until the end of the semester before I can go home.
After thinking about it this way, Cheng Yu felt mixed emotions.
He was actually looking forward to the new school and wanted to start learning in the new system as soon as possible;
But he and Lizhi were newlyweds, and their relationship was just getting sweet and sweet, and suddenly they separated... It really made him feel very sad.
And he was also worried.
In September, Litchi will also start school.
Will she meet a male classmate who is more handsome than him?
She is so beautiful, there must be a lot of boys pursuing her, right?
The more Cheng Yu thought about it, the more panicked he became.
“Squeak—”
The gate was pushed open.
Cheng Yu looked up and saw Lizhi coming back pushing a bicycle.
He was just about to ask her whether she wanted to eat lettuce or choy sum for lunch...
Lizhi smiled and said, "Cheng Yu, we have guests coming today."
Cheng Yu was stunned.
Soon, Lizhi pushed the bicycle into the yard.
A handsome and strong young man with a wheat-colored complexion followed Lizhi and walked into the yard.
Cheng Yu was stunned.
Su Tianli introduced the two with a smile:
"Xiao Tao, he is my lover Cheng Yu."
"Cheng Yu, Xiao Tao works at the Water Conservancy Bureau. I went to their unit to do some work today. When I came out, I happened to meet him who was also out on business. He happened to be passing by our house, so he came over to have a meal together."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Welcome! Welcome!"
He put down what he was holding, took a clean towel beside him and wiped his hands before shaking hands with Xiao Tao.
But Cheng Yu was puzzled. The Hydropower Bureau was quite far from Panfu Road, but Xiao Tao didn't seem to be riding a bicycle? Did he come here on Lizhi's bicycle?
The more Cheng Yu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
But he couldn't show it.
In order to simplify lunch, Lizhi bought half a soy sauce chicken and two pounds of roast pork at the state-owned roast meat shop at the entrance of the alley when he came back.
Cheng Yu was in charge of cooking. He stir-fried some lettuce picked from the yard, and also picked two tender loofahs and made a loofah, egg skin and dried shrimp soup.
That's it.
At lunch time,
Cheng Yu noticed that Lizhi was very polite to Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao's attitude is also rather distant.
The only thing we talked about during the meal was work.
Mainly, Lizhi was asking Xiaotao about the specific procedures for obtaining water and electricity from the hotel.
Xiao Tao also answered seriously.
After dinner, Su Tianli wanted to lend her bicycle to Xiao Tao, but Xiao Tao refused and said he could just walk outside and take the bus.
Su Tianli didn't force Xiao Tao.
Just like that, Xiao Tao left.
Cheng Yu was busy cleaning up the dishes.
Su Tianli took advantage of the excitement and quickly wrote down the application process she had just asked Xiao Tao about.
After finishing all this, Su Tianli packed up her notebook and pen, washed her face and feet, and prepared to go upstairs to rest.
Soon, Cheng Yu also went upstairs.
Su Tianli looked back at Cheng Yu and smiled, "What did you do? You looked so sullen when I came back... What's wrong?"
Cheng Yu looked at Su Tianli aggrievedly.
After a while, he asked pitifully, "How did you and that Xiao Tao... come back? The water and electricity bureau is so far from our home, and he didn't ride a bicycle! Did you take him with you on your bicycle? Or did he take you with him?"
Su Tianli opened her eyes wide.
Cheng Yu was so angry that his eyes turned red. "It takes half an hour to ride a bike from the Water and Electricity Bureau to our house!"
"Whether you were with him or he was with you, you two were alone together for half an hour, right?"
"Look at that little Tao again!"
"Look at him!"
"That skin of his...his muscles! He's manly, isn't he?"
Later on,
Cheng Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Su Tianli chuckled.
She stood up and walked over, gently hugging Cheng Yu's thin waist.
Cheng Yu was still angry.
I would tear her hands apart and not let her hug me.
But think about it,
——He will set off in a few days.
When he left like this,
From then on, Lizhi couldn't hug him even if she wanted to.
So he had already stopped her from hugging him,
Finally, he put her hands around his waist again and asked her to hold him tighter.
Su Tianli: ...
She found it even funnier.
because,
This was the first time she saw Cheng Yu so jealous.
So she quickly explained:
"When I went to the Water Conservancy Bureau to look for Xiao Tao, I came back empty-handed. I heard that he was out on business, so I came back."
"As a result, when I was almost home, I saw a person sitting by the window on a bus. He looked like him."
“So I just waved at him.”
"He saw me and got out of the car."
"He even apologized to me, saying that he had originally arranged to discuss this matter with me at his workplace today, but he didn't expect his boss to suddenly ask him to run errands... He was also thinking about returning to the workplace quickly to deal with my matter."
"I said that since we've already caught up, why not let my family go to talk? My wife is also at home, so I'll introduce you to each other and we can have a simple meal together."
"He was embarrassed to come to our house for dinner, but I persuaded him. I said that if we deal with this matter today, firstly, I won't have to go to your company again, and secondly, it won't delay your return to work. It's lunch time anyway."
"That's why he agreed."
After listening to Lizhi's explanation, Cheng Yu was no longer angry.
But he began to feel embarrassed about his performance just now.
I had to continue: "He is quite handsome."
Su Tianli suppressed her laughter, "My husband is not as handsome as him."
Cheng Yu laughed secretly, but quickly stopped laughing, and took the opportunity to speak out the biggest hidden danger in his heart, "But Yao Meiyu said that my mother..."
Su Tianli continued to hold back her laughter, "Don't worry about what she said, she's just my best friend."
"She can't influence me on what kind of man I like."
"Besides, she's my bestie and you're my man. If she really likes you, that would be a big problem."
This time, Cheng Yu finally smiled and asked, "Do you like me like this?"
Su Tianli nodded, "I like you like this."
After saying that, she looked up at him.
Looking at his fair and handsome face, my eyes instantly turned red.
Quiet afternoon,
The sun shines into the house.
Cheng Yu, who had fair skin, looked at her with eyes full of love.
Su Tianli's heart suddenly moved.
She didn't even use any strength and just pushed Cheng Yu aside.
Cheng Yu was very obedient.
At this moment, she was the only one in his eyes.
Cheng Yu has always been very service-minded.
Now that he is about to leave, he feels guilty and is more considerate and attentive to Su Tianli.
then--
Quiet afternoon,
Su Tianli finally got what she wanted.
…
Later, she panted softly and took away the cloth covering his eyes. She looked at his red eyebrows and trembling eyelashes, feeling delighted.
He looked at her with emotion and whispered in a hoarse voice: "... again."
All of this made Su Tianli know the essence of the matter.
Maybe I went crazy for a long time during the day, and then took a nap in the evening.
When the stars were shining, the two couldn't fall asleep.
Su Tianli simply made a pot of tea, sat on the lounge chair under the melon shed in the yard, enjoying the aroma of fruits and melons while admiring the stars and the moon.
Cheng Yu bent over and squatted beside him, lighting a plate of mosquito coils.
He moved a small stool over and sat next to Su Tianli, fanning her with a large palm-leaf fan and swatting at her from time to time, and occasionally driving away mosquitoes.
"From the time we got married until now, I've been busy with this or that, and I haven't been able to talk to you properly," Su Tianli said softly, "... Cheng Yu, look at that star, it's so beautiful!"
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment.
The first sentence she said made him a little sad.
The next sentence surprised him again.
He looked up, followed her directions, and saw that very special star.
Most of the other stars are bright yellowish.
The only one is particularly large, particularly empty, and a very special purple color.
It’s really beautiful!
Just as Cheng Yu was immersed in the beauty of the star,
Suddenly, Su Tianli's voice was heard again, "... Today we got to know it together. When I see it again someday, I might think of today and you as well."
Cheng Yu was stunned.
"Cheng Yu, the times have changed and developed, everything will get better and better, and we should follow the trend and grow into the best version of ourselves."
"We are still young and should pursue our dreams. Don't confine yourself to a small space and don't be afraid of separation, because every separation is another beginning." Su Tianli said softly.
Cheng Yu's eyes turned red again.
"I'm not afraid—"
He said slowly: "I... am just worried that you can't take care of yourself."
"Then I promise you that I will take good care of myself, have rice and soup for three meals a day, and carry an umbrella in summer and put on more clothes in winter all year round, okay?" Su Tianli said with a smile.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the almost inaudible sob in her voice.
Cheng Yu nodded repeatedly.
"Cheng Yu, what about you?" Su Tianli asked again.
Cheng Yu took a deep breath——
"I, Cheng Yu, also promised Su Tianli," Cheng Yu said slowly, "I will take good care of myself. I will always be healthy and live to... be a hundred years old."
It was not a very long sentence, but he spoke it for a very long time.
Because only in this way can he hide his sad mood.
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu and smiled.
Cheng Yu also looked at her with his eyes uncovered and smiled.
The starlight tonight is really beautiful.
