Zhou Chen coughed a few times. Luo Yuzhu's straightforwardness was really beyond his expectation.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was silent, Luo Yuzhu asked again: "Isn't it true? If you don't like me, why are you so nice to me? Do so much for me?"
Looking at Luo Yuzhu's familiar appearance and expectant eyes, what else could Zhou Chen say.
"Yes, you guessed it right, I just fall in love with you."
The shyness she imagined did not appear, and Luo Yuzhu's eyes suddenly widened: "Really?"
"real!"
Luo Yuzhu couldn't believe her ears at first, and then she hugged Zhou Chen fiercely.
"Woooo..."
Listening to Luo Yuzhu's cries, Zhou Chen felt uncomfortable. Does he like Luo Yuzhu?
To be honest, I have a good impression, but I can't say I like her.
At first, he was attracted by Luo Yuzhu's face. He could never forget this face, which was the same as his former wife's.
But after getting along many times in this month, he has come to realize the reality. Luo Yuzhu is not his former wife. They are completely two people. Except for their appearance, they are different in every other aspect.
Especially in terms of personality, Zheng Juan is meek, kind and selfless, while Luo Yuzhu is lively, arrogant and selfish. Their personalities are completely different.
So Zhou Chen has already recognized the reality, but he still can't watch Luo Yuzhu suffer alone outside, let alone see Luo Yuzhu with others.
Anyway, he wants to get married and have children in this world, so why can't this person be Luo Yuzhu.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Zhou Chen gave Luo Yuzhu a positive answer.
He is not in love with her now, but he believes that if they stay together for a long time, they will fall in love over time, so he does not reject being with Luo Yuzhu at all.
Luo Yuzhu cried for a long time before leaving Zhou Chen's arms. Only then did she show a shy expression.
"If you believe me, you will live here from now on. I will come back after graduation and we can talk about our affairs then, okay?"
Luo Yuzhu nodded obediently. She already recognized Zhou Chen in her heart. As long as Zhou Chen didn't abandon her, she was willing to follow Zhou Chen.
"good."
"Then let's go buy the things we need at home now. I'll be leaving in a few days. I'll help you pack them up in the next few days."
"Okay, I know where they sell things, I'll take you there."
"Okay, let's go now."
In the next three days, Zhou Chen would go out early and come back late to help Luo Yuzhu clean up the house.
In just three days, the yard was full of life and felt like a home.
In the past three days, the smile on Luo Yuzhu's face has never stopped, but she secretly remembered the money Zhou Chen spent on her these days.
Chen Jinshui had no objection to Zhou Chen leaving early and returning late. In his opinion, Zhou Chen was now a famous university student and would have no problem going anywhere.
However, Qiaogu always clamored for Zhou Chen to take her out. Zhou Chen later even took a day to take Qiaogu around the county town and bought her many things, which made Qiaogu happy for several days.
Finally, the summer vacation is coming to an end. Zhou Chen has dinner at Luo Yuzhu's place tonight. The dinner tonight is particularly sumptuous. Luo Yuzhu specially cooked it for Zhou Chen.
However, while eating, Luo Yuzhu was not in high spirits and looked sad.
Zhou Chen saw it, smiled slightly, and advised: "Don't be like this, I'm going to school, not for anything else. I'll be back sooner or later."
Luo Yuzhu said nothing. Although Zhou Chen said he would come back, she was still in a state of uneasiness. These good days made her forget the identity gap between herself and Zhou Chen.
It was only when Zhou Chen was really leaving to go to school that she realized that Zhou Chen was a college student at the best university in the country, and she hadn't even graduated from elementary school, and she couldn't compare with those outstanding female college students in the university. She
Of course I will feel uneasy.
Zhou Chen knew how Luo Yuzhu was feeling and saw that his persuasion had little effect, so he didn't say any more. The more he said at this time, the more uncomfortable Luo Yuzhu felt.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Luo Yuzhu asked again: "You will really come back and you didn't lie to me?"
"I'm not lying to you, really."
Luo Yuzhu then showed an ugly smile.
After dinner, Luo Yuzhu cleared the table and saw Zhou Chen was about to leave, so she suddenly grabbed him.
"Zhou Chen, you, don't leave tonight, okay?"
Zhou Chen was shocked and looked at Luo Yuzhu seriously. Luo Yuzhu's eyes were nervous but firm.
He understood what Luo Yuzhu meant, but he did not agree. Instead, he reached out and touched Luo Yuzhu's face.
"Don't wrong yourself, wait for me, I will come back, and when I come back, I will come to you."
The moment Zhou Chen stepped out of the door, Luo Yuzhu couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged Zhou Chen from behind.
"I have no relatives in this world. Zhou Chen, if you leave me, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. You must come back, okay?"
"Um."
Zhou Chen responded softly, held Luo Yuzhu's hand with both hands, and said softly: "While I'm away, if you encounter trouble that you can't solve, go to Chenjiacun to find my uncle. His name is Chen Jinshui."
, is the village chief of Chenjia Village; but he is quite old-fashioned, so if it is not a big deal, try not to find him."
"I understand, I listen to you."
…………
On the day Zhou Chen left, it was Chen Jinshui who still led people to the train station. Before leaving, he also gave Zhou Chen instructions.
"Xiao Chen, it's a long way back and forth from the capital. If you find it troublesome, don't always come back. Stay in school and study hard, and have a good relationship with your teachers and classmates."
"I know, uncle, don't worry."
Zhou Chen naturally agreed to Chen Jinshui's request. In fact, he did not plan to come back in the next two years because he wanted to use his vacation to do more important things.
Before getting on the train, Zhou Chen saw Qiu Yingjie waiting for him.
"Yingjie."
"Brother Zhou."
"You were already here?"
"No, I just arrived a while ago."
Zhou Chen took out a ticket from his pocket and handed it to him: "Here, this is your ticket."
Qiu Yingjie took it and took a look, and was shocked: "This is a sleeper? Brother Zhou, did you buy a sleeper?"
"Yes, both are sleeper berths, connected, don't worry."
"Why are you so embarrassed? The sleeper ticket is so expensive, I'd better give you the money."
Qiu Yingjie didn't know the exact price of a sleeper ticket, but he knew that it would definitely be much more expensive than a seat ticket, and he didn't want to take advantage of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen suppressed his move to pay and said, "Yingjie, don't be so polite to me. We are friends. You call me big brother. At least give me, the big brother, a chance to show off."
"But."
"Don't worry, the train is about to leave. Get on the train quickly."
Zhou Chen didn't give Qiu Yingjie a chance to refute and forced him onto the train.
After getting on the bus, they quickly found their sleepers. Zhou Chen bought two sleepers connected together, with upper and lower beds.
When they arrived, there were only two of them in a small sleeper compartment. It was probably because it was not the peak period for taking the train, so there were fewer people buying sleeper compartments.
After putting down the gift, Qiu Yingjie said with a smile: "This sleeper is indeed much more comfortable than the seat, but the price is too expensive."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's expensive, I think it's okay now, but it may be more expensive in the future."
"Brother Zhou, we have agreed that when we get to the capital, I will treat you to dinner. You must not refuse."
"No problem. If you're not in a hurry, you can come and sit at my place. I rented a house next to the school. If you want to eat, you can eat at my place."
Qiu Yingjie asked in surprise: "Brother Zhou, doesn't the school have dormitories? Why are you still renting a house off campus?"
Zhou Chen explained: "There are too many people in the dormitory, and I don't like it. Sometimes I like to be quiet when I'm reading, so I rented a house outside."
"Oh, renting a house in the capital isn't cheap, right?"
"It depends on where you compare it with. If you compare it with Yiwu, it's really not cheap. One month is worth several months."
"The capital city."
Because they had just gotten on the bus, both of them were in good spirits and did not feel sleepy at all.
The longer he spends time with Zhou Chen, the more Qiu Yingjie admires Zhou Chen. He feels that Zhou Chen is really amazing. No matter what he says, Zhou Chen can catch it.
For example, in economics, there were many things he didn't understand, but after listening to Zhou Chen's explanation, he could quickly understand.
He even couldn't understand a lot of what Zhou Chen said, and the school teachers never taught him anything.
Sometimes he felt that what Zhou Chen said was better than what the school teacher taught him. He was surprised and admired him even more.
No wonder Zhou Chen was able to get top spot in the college entrance examination, but he couldn't. It turns out there is really a gap in talent.
"Brother Zhou, the car has stopped and I'm a little bored. I'm going to go do some exercise. Do you want to come with me?"
"I won't go. I'll read a book."
Zhou Chen waved his hand and continued reading, while Qiu Yingjie left the sleeper compartment alone.
The train started again, Qiu Yingjie hadn't come back yet, and Zhou Chen didn't care. After reading the book, he picked up the newspaper and started reading again.
The newspapers of this era were quite rich in content. Although they did not spread as quickly as self-media news in later generations, in this era, if you want to know the news, apart from television, newspapers are the most convenient way.
I don't know how long it took, but Qiu Yingjie suddenly brought someone to the small box.
Zhou Chen raised his head and saw a young man following Qiu Yingjie, looking at him with shrinking eyes.
"Brother Zhou, this is a little brother I just met. He is also from our Yiwu, and he is also from your Chenjiacun. Do you recognize him?"
Before Zhou Chen could speak, the young man spoke first.
"Second brother, I, it's me, Ji Feo, Ji Feo, Chen Jianghe."
Zhou Chen's eyes lit up and he looked surprised: "Chicken Feather? Are you really Chicken Feather? I heard from my uncle that you have been running away from home for several years. Are you really Chicken Feather?"
Chen Jianghe looked excited: "Yes, second brother, it's really me, Ji Feo. It's really great to see you here. I heard someone say last year that the top scorer in our province's college entrance examination is named Zhou Chen."
, I thought I heard wrong, but I didn’t expect it was really you.”
"Ji Fei, come on, sit down and talk."
Zhou Chen enthusiastically pulled Chen Jianghe to sit next to him. He knew that Chen Jianghe met Qiu Yingjie on the train, but he remembered that it seemed to be winter at that time, and now that summer had just passed, he did not expect that they would meet in advance.
.
Chen Jianghe was so happy that he was a little incoherent: "I just heard Brother Qiu talking about you. I can't believe such a coincidence. It's really great. Second brother, how is my uncle in good health? He eats well.
, did you sleep well? My aunt and Qiaogu, how are they?"
"Everything is fine. My uncle and aunt are all very good, and my aunt Qiao is also very good. I just miss you so much and talk about you so much. You said you do too, so why don't you go back and see them."
Chen Jianghe's face was full of guilt: "I made a mistake at the beginning. I didn't dare to go back for fear of causing trouble to my uncle and the others."
Zhou Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your matter is over long ago. No one will arrest you anymore. Listen to me and go back and see you when you have time. Uncle and the others miss you very much."
Chen Jianghe nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand, I miss them too."
Qiu Yingjie was also very happy when he saw this scene: "Brother Zhou, Jiang He, you are really destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. Just taking a train, we met again. It's a good thing."
"It's indeed a good thing, and I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to see the chicken feathers." Zhou Chen was also very happy.
Although he was not particularly familiar with Chen Jianghe, he had met him a few times and knew that Chen Jianghe had a very good relationship with his uncle Chen Jinshui's family. Naturally, he was happy to see Chen Jianghe.
Qiu Yingjie said: "It was just a coincidence that little brother Jiang He was selling candy just now. I was very interested, so I bought a piece with him, and then we started chatting. When I found out that he was from Chenjia Village, I mentioned you. Unexpectedly,
It’s no coincidence that you are still relatives.”
Chen Jianghe was very happy and took out everything in his arms.
"Brother, this is the sugar and eggs I made myself. You can try it."
Looking at Chen Jianghe's hopeful eyes, Zhou Chen was not polite, picked up a piece of candy and tasted it.
"Well, it's not bad. It's no worse than the candy made by my uncle."
Chen Jianghe said shyly: "Compared with my uncle, I'm still far behind."
"Don't belittle yourself. I'm telling the truth. The candy you made is really good."
"Second brother, eat another egg."
"good."
While peeling the eggs, Zhou Chen asked, "Chicken Feather, no, you're not young anymore. I can't call you Chicken Feather anymore, Jiang He."
"It's okay, second brother, you should just call me Jifei. It sounds friendly. To be honest, I haven't heard anyone call me Jifei for a long time. When I heard you call me that today, I couldn't be happier."
After many years, he finally met his relatives again, and Chen Jianghe was particularly happy and excited.
"Okay, then I will continue to call you Jifei, Jifei. Have you been hanging around Yiwu in the past few years?"
"Well, I didn't dare to go back, but I didn't want to go far, so I wandered around a few cities and counties near Yiwu, doing some business in exchange for chicken feathers for sugar, selling sugar and eggs."
Zhou Chen looked at Chen Jianghe's weathered face and sighed in his heart. Chen Jianghe was actually two years younger than him, but he looked older than him.
Chen Jianghe fled Chenjiacun when he was eleven or twelve years old. It must have been very difficult for him to survive these years. He doesn't know how many crimes he has suffered.
