What's in the safe?
Old Wen finally got some free time two days before New Year's Eve. As soon as he got some free time, he took his family back to his hometown to reunite with his parents for the New Year.
As a result, when he returned to his hometown, the first thing he did was to change the combination lock of the safe.
This was what Shen Hongyu told Wen Jing. He saw Old Wen changing the lock and coaxed him to keep it a secret and not tell his sister.
"Then why did you tell me?" Wen Jing asked him.
"Sister, I'm better with you." Shen Hongyu said a little embarrassedly.
Wen Jing felt funny and sad at the same time. Children are the most sensitive and they know better than anyone else who is good to them.
However, Shen Hongyu asked again the next second: "Sister, what's hidden inside?"
"Well, these are just some old souvenirs. My dad treasures them very much." Wen Jing said ambiguously.
She now felt sympathy for Old Wen. It would be disgraceful if Shen Hongyu took out those things and looked at them secretly.
"Oh." Wen Jing saw Shen Hongyu lowering his head and talking to his phone watch: "Sister said there were some souvenirs inside. I thought it was something good!"
Wen Jing asked him who he was sending it to.
He said Chen Songyan.
“…”
"Why did you tell him everything?" She thought about it and felt a little distrustful. She reached out to him and said, "Give it to me, let me see it."
Shen Hongyu retracted his hand.
Wen Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at him. He actually started to hide a little secret in front of her.
Shen Hongyu was also a little embarrassed: "Sister, brother said that boys also have secrets with each other."
Seeing his expression, Wen Jing thought that these two people couldn't do anything, so she let them be.
"You really treat him as a brother," she said.
Shen Hongyu smiled at her: "Sister, no matter who I chat with, the most important people in my heart are you and mom."
Wen Jing was slightly startled: "When did you become so good at talking?"
"I said these words to my brother the other day, and he asked me if I had told you before. I said no, and he told me to express my love directly to the person in question in the future, otherwise others might not be able to sense it."
Finally, Shen Hongyu looked at Wen Jing again, his round eyes shining: "Sister, I love you and mom the most."
Wen Jing rubbed his hair: "Sister likes you too, and so does mom."
I didn't expect Chen Songyan to have such a big influence on Shen Hongyu. They had only met once and there was no difference between them and netizens.
Wen Jing thought again, it is not ruled out that Chen Songyan played a role, but in the final analysis, Shen Hongyu was too lonely. He had no friends at school, so now he added a brother who was eight years older than him on WeChat, and they could chat happily every day.
Well, let them talk about whatever they want.
"Sister, will we go to Wahe Village on New Year's Day?" Shen Hongyu asked again.
Wen Jing said it depends on the situation.
In fact, she felt that the probability of being able to go was still very high, but she was afraid that other accidents would occur during the New Year, so she decided to be conservative so as not to disappoint Shen Hongyu.
As it turned out, she was right, but she didn't expect that this change came from Shen Hongyu himself.
On New Year's Eve, after eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the family gathered in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Shen Hongyu sat next to Wen Jing. He was very happy at first, but suddenly he became depressed as he sat there. When Wen Jing handed him some fruit, she saw that he was reluctant to take it. Puzzled, she turned around and saw that his tears were falling like pearls.
She did not disturb others, so as to avoid causing some bad remarks about Shen Hongyu, and directly led him out of the house.
"What's wrong?" She took a piece of paper to wipe away his tears, and the more she wiped, the wetter they became.
"Sister, why is it so lively here?"
Wen Jing was silent.
"My mother and I celebrated the New Year there, and it wasn't this lively."
It's not just not lively, it's deserted.
Whether it's with grandparents, or with mom and brother alone.
The Shen family members are all taciturn. When they meet, it seems that they have nothing to talk about except work and studies.
Wen Jing did inherit some of this, so she could still tolerate this atmosphere, but Shen Hongyu obviously inherited more from his father, so this atmosphere was not suitable for him.
"Sister, do you think Mom will be lonely spending the New Year alone?"
Wen Jing paused her hand that was wiping his tears and lowered her eyes.
Will it? Of course it will.
Eight-year-old Wen Jing also thought about this problem, so during the Spring Festival that year, she called her mother and asked her to pick her up.
Ms. Shen refused, saying that she was not needed there during the New Year.
"Don't come back. I don't want to see your father or you again."
These were the exact words Ms. Shen left for Wen Jing.
Because of this sentence, she didn't contact her mother for three years.
It was not until I accidentally overheard the conversation between my father and grandparents that I was able to glimpse the truth of what happened back then.
Later, Wen Jing recontacted Ms. Shen under the pretext of wanting to see her brother.
Although the two of them mostly talked about studies and her younger brother, Wen Jing was able to understand Ms. Shen's insincerity from her few words.
However, she still didn't want her to spend the New Year there.
What do you mean by not wanting to see her? It's just that I don't want her to be embarrassed.
Ms. Shen loves to do this kind of thing the most.
Wen Jing squatted down and asked Shen Hongyu: "Do you want to know what mom is doing now?"
"I do." Shen Hongyu replied in a crying voice.
"Then you should video call your mother right now."
Shen Hongyu was stunned.
Apparently, Ms. Shen treated the siblings equally and never made any face-to-face phone calls with them.
"Go ahead and fight. Tell mom what Brother Songyan taught you." She continued to encourage Shen Hongyu.
Shen Hongyu stopped crying. He stared at her with his watery eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"I'll go with you." Wen Jing said.
After she said this, Shen Hongyu seemed to have made up his mind. He said "good" heavily and lit up Ms. Shen's video call page.
As soon as his face appeared on the phone watch page, Shen Hongyu suddenly became nervous and looked at her for help: "Sister."
"Okay, okay, I'll come over." Wen Jing leaned her face over and appeared on the screen face to face with Shen Hongyu.
It was the first time she was so close to him. Wen Jing looked at the two faces that were 50% similar in the small square, and her heart was filled with ripples.
Shen Hongyu, with tears still on her face, suddenly laughed: "Sister, you look a lot like me!"
Wen Jing knocked on his head and said, "On the contrary, Tian Gang, you are the one who looks like a sister!"
"I didn't hold it upside down." Shen Hongyu stared at his phone watch. "Look, our faces are all upright."
“…” Wen Jing couldn’t help laughing.
When Shen Hongyu saw her smile, he also smiled.
As the two of them were playing around, the video call that had been delayed for a long time suddenly connected. The real source of the two faces looked at them blankly, as if he didn't understand why his two children suddenly called him on the video and were so happy.
Shen Hongyu was the first to shout out, looked at Wen Jing first, and said excitedly, "Mom answered it", and then shouted "Mom" to the other end of the video with a little shyness.
Wen Jing followed and called out "Mom".
Shen Yunhui looked obviously a little embarrassed. She just said "hmm" and asked them why they suddenly made a video call.
Wen Jing glanced at Shen Hongyu, who suddenly said loudly: "Mom, I miss you!"
But his voice got lower and lower at the end, and he sounded weak and embarrassed.
Wen Jing simply spoke for him: "He missed you so much tonight that he cried and insisted on having a video call with you."
It is always easy to convey some words on behalf of others.
Ms. Shen looked a little unnatural and said "Oh".
Wen Jing sighed in her heart and suddenly said, "Happy New Year, Mom."
Shen Hongyu joined her in shouting. Ms. Shen finally recovered and replied with a "Happy New Year." Then she suddenly changed the subject: "Have you done your winter vacation homework during this time?"
Finally finding her comfort zone, Ms. Shen spoke at length: "I left in such a hurry last time that I forgot to ask Shen Hongyu to bring his winter vacation homework so we can work on it together. And Jingjing, this is your first holiday in high school, you have to make the most of it. Your English grades are lagging behind, so you should take this opportunity to improve them."
"..." Wen Jing glanced at the dumbfounded Shen Hongyu next to her, unable to hold back her laughter, and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of changing the subject: "Okay, we get it. Mom, when will you return to Jin City?"
"If it's quick, tomorrow, but I can't guarantee it."
"knew."
Since Shen Hongyu suddenly became listless, Wen Jing hung up without talking to Ms. Shen for long and turned around to ask him what was wrong.
Shen Hongyu looked embarrassed: "Sister, I didn't bring my winter vacation homework."
It is true.
Wen Jing smiled and said it was okay.
"Sister, I want to go back to Jin City tomorrow. Will you go back with me?"
Unexpectedly, his thoughts coincided with hers. Wen Jing raised an eyebrow and asked him, "Why do you want to go back to Jin City? Is it because you didn't bring your winter vacation homework?"
Shen Hongyu shook his head: "I'm afraid that when my mother comes home tomorrow, she'll find the house empty."
Wen Jing touched his soft hair and felt that it was just as soft as his body.
"So we have a deal, we won't watch the fireworks show either?"
"I'm not going." Shen Hongyu's eyes were firm. "Mom is more important."
Wen Jing smiled and said, "Then remember to tell your mother these words when you see her, okay?"
“…I’ll try my best to say it.”
"Okay, then I'll go with you and cheer you up."
As for the fireworks show, we can only watch it next year.
She thought about it and realized that she should not have promised Chen Songyan that she would go to see it by herself, so it didn't count as breaking the appointment.
I really didn't expect that the casual promise of seeing you at the beginning of school would actually turn out to be just that: see you at the beginning of school.
However, as Shen Hongyu said, compared to looking at a handsome guy and looking at your mother, of course your mother is more important.
Anyway, Chen Songyan and I are deskmates, so I can see him every day after school starts.
Ever since she knew that Chen Songyan was not in a premature love relationship, Wen Jing's interest in him has rekindled.
Thinking that he not only has a pretty face, but also a great figure and many cool tricks, Wen Jing feels that she can maintain her interest in him for a long time, at least longer than Jiang Xi.
With this thought in mind, Wen Jing was in a good mood on the first day of school, even though there was an unfinished English test paper in her bag that had to be corrected.
I wonder what Chen Songyan will wear this time. Will it be the same as at the beginning of last semester?
Because No. 1 Middle School requires students to wear school uniforms during school hours, she only saw Chen Songyan wearing that outfit once.
It’s still cold now and I can’t wear it, what a pity.
Thinking of the extremely slim black sweatshirt Chen Songyan was wearing when she met him in Wahe Village during the holiday, Wen Jing couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that Chen Songyan knew quite a bit about dressing.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Chen Songyan's hair was a little long during the holiday, and his bangs were blocking his eyes. When the wind blew, his hair all flew back, revealing his superior eyebrows hidden under his hair. In the reflection of the waving fire knife, he looked heroic and full of vigor.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment, Wen Jing felt that he was handsome even down to his hair.
According to her observations since childhood, boys basically have their hair cut before the first month of the lunar year. She hopes that he won't have his hair cut badly because it's too long, which would be terrible.
The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. When Wen Jing stepped into the classroom and saw the man sitting next to her wearing a baseball cap and with no hair on the back of his head, her heart ached.
The other person turned around, Wen Jing was stunned and took a step back.
I walked into the wrong classroom, I must have walked into the wrong classroom!
