On the day off, Su Qingmeng went to see the red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain with her roommates. Although she had just been there with Lin Xiuyao a few days ago, this was an appointment they had made before, so she treated it as a team-building activity.
There were eight people there, and this time they pooled four bicycles and rode to Xiangshan Park.
Su Qingmeng and Qiu Ling rode one bike. Both of them knew how to ride, so they took turns to rest. They arrived at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in an hour.
Su Qingmeng still brought a camera. This time there was plenty of film, and she didn't refuse everyone's request to take pictures. She took a few group photos herself. Lin Xiuyao had already taken pictures of the places she wanted to take pictures of the last time she came here. His photography skills have been honed now, and the layout and lighting of the photos are very beautiful.
Su Qingmeng and the other three haven't been together for a long time. They heard from their classmates that Bai Yushuang seemed to be in love. She has been very close to a boy from the Physics Department recently. The boy's name is He Cheng, and he is said to be a student union cadre.
Gao Qin had just mentioned him jokingly, and Bai Yushuang showed the shy look of a little girl. Although the school prohibits dating, there are countermeasures to every policy. There are always early romances in middle schools in the future, let alone young people in their twenties.
After a happy day of playing, Su Qingmeng returned to the entrance of the alley at four o'clock in the afternoon. She saw a stranger in front of her, walking all the way to the door opposite. She went back to her house, closed the door and listened to the noise. There were very few strangers in the alley, and she was a little curious.
The man knocked on the door opposite. Shang Yunhe saw the man and excitedly shouted "Brother!"
The person who came was Shang Yunxiao, her eldest brother who had been sent down to the countryside for ten years. The two hugged each other excitedly. "Brother, you have suffered so much." Shang Yunhe burst into tears. Granny Zheng shouted from inside the house, "Who is it?"
When she came out and saw this, she started cursing, "You little whore, you're blatantly cheating on your husband, aren't you?" She picked up the broom by the door and was about to hit her. Shang Yunxiao protected his sister behind him, "Aunt Zheng, I'm Yunhe's eldest brother."
Granny Zheng tried to identify him for a while and said awkwardly, "It turned out to be my eldest brother-in-law. I didn't recognize him. Come in and sit down."
Shang Yunxiao frowned slightly. His sister's mother-in-law slandered them without any basis in fact and didn't even apologize. It was obvious that she bullied his sister a lot. It seemed that his sister had suffered a lot of grievances even though she stayed in the city over the years.
He endured it and didn't lose his temper, but he also had to consider his sister. They went into the house and sat down to talk about each other's situations. Shang Yunxiao told his sister to go home tomorrow and then left.
Su Qingmeng had already entered the room. "Do you know He Cheng? He's from the Student Union."
Lin Xiuyao: "A junior, I'm not very familiar with him. What's wrong?"
Su Qingmeng, "One of my roommates is dating him!" Lin Xiuyao raised an eyebrow, "Doesn't the school forbid dating?"
Su Qingmeng said, "If someone doesn't admit to something like this, the school can't do anything about it!" She washed her hands and dried them with a towel. "Sister Yunhe's brother from across the street is here. It's going to be a good show." She had long been fed up with Grandma Zheng scolding her daughter-in-law every day. "What are we having for dinner?"
Lin Xiuyao: "I went to the market and bought some hairy crabs to eat tonight." The supply in Beijing is sufficient and there are many varieties, so their food has always been good.
Su Qingmeng was surprised, "I haven't eaten this for a long time." The two of them enjoyed the crab feast.
The next day, Su Qingmeng came back from school and saw a few people sitting at the entrance of the alley chatting. She got out of the car and said, "You go home and cook first." Then she sat down to listen to gossip. Lin Xiuyao was helpless. His wife was good in every way except that she liked to listen to gossip.
Sure enough, someone mentioned that it turned out that Grandma Zheng's daughter-in-law was a descendant of a capitalist, and now their family has been rehabilitated.
An aunt said, "She brought three great items as a dowry!" She felt a bit gloating and said, "Now she has someone to back her up. Let's see what Sister Zheng will do."
"Yes, Yunhe is a girl with a good temper. If it were someone else, they would have divorced her long ago." The second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family said. She is not the kind of person who would keep silent when being bullied by her in-laws.
"That's not true. With her family background, if she hadn't married into a working-class family, who knows what kind of suffering she would have endured!" an aunt disagreed.
Everyone had different opinions. What would Shang Yunhe do? Speaking of which, she walked towards the alleyway, backpack on her back, her eyes red and obvious from crying. Everyone fell silent.
Seeing so many people, Shang Yunhe said softly, "Everyone is here!" Zhou's daughter-in-law asked, "Yunhe, are you back from your mother's home?" Seeing her nod, she pulled her over and said, "Come, sit for a while. Is your family all right?"
Shang Yunhe: "That's it. I've suffered a lot over the years." Her father's hair is all white, and he looks like a man in his sixties or seventies, but he's only 47. Her older and younger brothers have also matured a lot.
An aunt asked curiously, "Has your house been returned?" She remembered that the Shang family had a large courtyard with three entrances and a shop.
Shang Yunhe: "Let's return some of it. A few families refuse to move out." Although according to policy, private houses should be returned to the original owners, the tenants insist on not moving out, and the housing management office can't do anything about it. This kind of situation is common. Fortunately, their families all live in the vacated three-courtyard house, which is enough for them to live in.
As he was speaking, the postman came over and saw Su Qingmeng and said, "Comrade Su Qingmeng, there is a letter for you."
Su Qingmeng took the letters and saw one was from Zhou Wenxi and the other from Su Cheng. She said goodbye to the gossip group and went home to read the letters.
The letter from Sucheng was from the original owner's mother. She heard that she was studying in Beijing and wrote to inquire about the situation.
Su Qingmeng was annoyed, "I forgot about her!" It had been a short time since she was admitted to university, and she was so busy that she forgot to inform the original owner's mother, and she didn't think about it afterwards.
Lin Xiuyao said, "I don't remember it either." The main reason was that after Su Qingmeng confessed, he no longer regarded her as his mother-in-law, and the two families didn't contact each other often. Only two letters came after the marriage, and both of them were advising them to break up. Although Su Qingmeng would not listen, he was also quite disgusted.
