Yan Yi's gesture of goodwill made Shen Mingzhu instinctively alert, "No need, the bus at the door goes directly to my door, it's very convenient."

Yan Yi gestured behind him, "We have to send them off anyway, so one more person won't make much difference."

Only then did Shen Mingzhu notice that there were three female students standing behind Yan Yi, and it seemed that they all wanted to hitchhike.

It turned out that she was not sent alone.

Well, how could an outstanding single young man like Yan Yi have any thoughts about a married housewife like her?

She is really too narcissistic.

However, Shen Mingzhu still planned to reject Yan Yi, because Sun Feifei was among the three female students who hitchhiked, and the thought of sitting in the same compartment with Sun Feifei made her feel uncomfortable.

As a result, one of the female students who was hitchhiking took her arm affectionately and said, "Let's go together. I just happen to have a question for you."

The female student is called Xiang Ying. Like Shen Mingzhu, she is married. She works as a toll collector at the water plant, but her husband is an official at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Xiang Ying has a good personality, and Shen Mingzhu wanted to make friends with her, so she hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Among the four female students hitchhiking, only Sun Feifei is single, and everyone can see that she is interested in Yan Yi.

So they all tacitly let her sit in the co-pilot seat, while Shen Mingzhu, Xiang Ying, and another female student Xu Na sat side by side in the back.

On the way, Shen Mingzhu and Xiang Ying were whispering about a grammatical problem in modern Chinese.

Sun Feifei and Xu Na were very interested in Yan Yi's personal information and family background, and asked a lot of questions. Yan Yi had a relatively mild temper and was very graceful. He handled the whole process with ease, but he didn't explain anything clearly.

But one thing is clear: I am currently single.

When Yan Yi admitted that he was single, Shen Mingzhu deliberately glanced at Sun Feifei.

Sun Feifei's face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was excited or shy.

However, she felt that there was no chance for Sun Feifei and Yan Yi.

It was obvious that Yan Yi was not interested in Sun Feifei, otherwise he would not have been the first one to send Sun Feifei home.

When getting off the car, Sun Feifei felt a little lost and regretful, but on the surface she pretended to be decent and generous, waving goodbye to everyone on the car one by one, even Shen Mingzhu was not left out.

But Shen Mingzhu ignored her.

Soon, Xu Na also got off the car.

In this way, only Shen Mingzhu and Xiang Ying were left in the car.

With the idea that it would be better for me to let my friend die than for myself, Shen Mingzhu took the lead in telling Yan Yi her address, wanting Yan Yi to take her home first.

Hearing the address she gave, Yan Yi smiled and said, "You and Xiang Ying live close to each other, no wonder you can get along so well."

Xiang Ying followed up, "Yes, I live on North Second Street and Mingzhu lives on North Main Street. When you pass by North Second Street, stop at the intersection and I'll be there in a few steps."

"good."

Shen Mingzhu said hurriedly, "Then I'll get off at North Second Street too."

After she finished speaking, Xiang Ying and Yan Yi both looked at her.

Yan Yi was looking through the rearview mirror.

Xiang Ying said, "It takes several minutes to walk from North Second Street to North Street. Let Yan Yi take you to the gate of the community. It's just a matter of stepping on the accelerator a little more."

Shen Mingzhu thought to herself, if you step on the accelerator a little more, hundreds of rumors about her will spread in the family compound.

Yan Yi seemed to see through her thoughts and said in a clear voice, "I'll drop you off at the intersection of North Street. I'm turning around there."

If it's at the intersection, it's several hundred meters away from the family compound, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence that someone in the family compound sees it.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu agreed.

The car soon stopped at the intersection of North Street. Shen Mingzhu got out of the car while saying thank you. After getting out of the car, Yan Yi suddenly lowered the window and called her.

"Spring is coming soon. I plan to organize an outdoor event next month. If you have any good ideas, please tell me and I will contact you by phone then."

Yan Yi said this and drove away.

Shen Mingzhu was about to go home, and when she turned around, she saw Pei Yang and Pei Ziheng standing not far away.

The father and son held hands, with identical expressions on their faces, staring at her intently.

Shen Mingzhu walked over as if nothing had happened, "Why are you here?"

Shen Mingzhu pinched his cheek and said, "No need to answer it..."

It’s so cold today, be careful not to catch a cold.

This is what Shen Mingzhu wanted to say, but she was interrupted by the dog man before she said the first sentence, "Yes, we shouldn't have come, and we shouldn't have seen you getting out of another man's car."

A strong smell of acetic acid.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him teasingly, took Pei Ziheng's hand, and went back to the staff quarters.

She didn't respond, and Pei Yang didn't say anything else.

The atmosphere was a bit stiff and strange.

Pei Ziheng, who was walking between the two of them, looked up at this and that with his pretty and delicate little face, shaking his head silently.

Stupid dad, your mouth not only has to be used for eating, it also has to be able to talk.

"Aunt Mingzhu, who was the uncle who sent you back just now?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"I'm a student in the self-study group."

"What's his last name? What's his first name?"

"My surname is Yan, and my given name is Yi, which means standing firm."

"Oh, so you have a good relationship with him?"

"It's just average, not great."

Pei Yang blurted out, "You're not on good terms with him, but why are you riding in his car?"

Shen Mingzhu: “…”

Stupid dad, you'd better shut up. You're talking too much.

Pei Ziheng was worried about his father.

After returning home, Pei Yang put on an apron and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Shen Mingzhu went back to her room and changed into home clothes. After thinking for a while, she went into the kitchen to explain to the man why she took Yan Yi's ride.

After listening to her explanation, Pei Yang put down the tools in his hands, walked up to her, bent down slightly and pushed her against the stove.

His deep brows looked down at her, his deep voice was overbearing, "I won't interfere with your normal interactions with your classmates, but there is one thing, you are not allowed to smile at that Yan in the future."

Shen Mingzhu was speechless when she heard the man say, "You are so beautiful, and your smile is like a flower. You can easily seduce someone's soul. What if he falls in love with you and I am not by your side, and he takes you away, who can I cry to?"

Shen Mingzhu held back her laughter and rolled her eyes, "I'll try my best."

"So good."

After saying that, he pressed his lips down and kissed her between the eyebrows.

By the time Shen Mingzhu reacted, Pei Yang had already walked away to prepare dinner, as if the kiss just now was just an illusion.

Shen Mingzhu stared at the man for a while, then turned and walked out.

As soon as she left, Pei Yang danced with joy like a cat that had stolen an ape.

Shen Mingzhu returned to the room and rubbed her forehead in front of the dressing mirror. It seemed that the wet and hot touch of the man's lip prints were still lingering on her forehead.

Damn it, he actually launched a sneak attack.

——

After the separation, Shen Chaobei spent half a month rebuilding the courtyard wall and gate on the north side of the house, so that people no longer had to go through the original gate to enter and exit, which was much more convenient.

After the house was tidied up, Shen Chaobei and Du Juan discussed starting a business using the skills taught by Shen Mingzhu.

But even if it is a small business, it still requires capital.

The couple were separated and lived on their own. Apart from a little food ration, they didn't get anything else. After emptying their family's savings, they were left with only about ten yuan, which was the private money Du Juan had saved up over the years.

The couple discussed it for a night and decided to ask the old couple to borrow some capital.

In order to borrow money, Du Juan gritted her teeth and went to the market to weigh two kilograms of pork, cooked a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli and invited the two old people to come over for a meal.

Qin Jinlian was smiling while eating the meat, but when she finished eating and Shen Chaobei asked to borrow money, her face suddenly fell.
