all things

He took it out and looked, a little dazed.

Weng Lin.

A familiar yet unfamiliar name.

A person who used to want to keep in touch with mobile phone text messages even if they couldn't stick together for 24 hours.

How long has it been since we saw each other?

Right now, there are only four words on the screen, happy birthday.

It's been a long time without contact, and it's normal to not even know what kind of response to give.

It was rumored in the class that their relationship had reached a freezing point.In fact, he was quite confused by this statement, and he didn't think that the two of them really reached the point where their enemies were jealous when they met, as rumored by the outside world.

It's just that the friends around the two of them were all fighting for them - it was as if the two camps had set up a dragon gate formation to start a fight, and the two of them, as commanders, had to cooperate.

Not cooperating is like betraying the group of friends who are complaining about themselves.

It's ridiculous.

If you can't go on the road, just make a decision, and it may not be a good strategy to procrastinate.Weng Lin is not stupid, she should have seen all kinds of contradictions between the two, she overreacted at the beginning, it's just that her emotions overwhelmed her rationality.

She always wants to go, let him follow, or tell him to wait for her to come back.Who dares to say that there will be no variables in the middle?Both of them are teenage boys, the road ahead is too long, and the price of growing up is sometimes enough to suppress all innocence.

Of course he understands what Lin Haiqiong and the others think. It is nothing more than to blame him for choosing to give up without the slightest hesitation, so he is a scumbag, and Weng Lin breaks up first and then goes abroad, creating a poignant beauty of "going to a foreign country after falling out of love". .So in their imagination, he should first beg hard and beg for nothing, and then stay where he is for the last ten or eight years, waiting for Weng Lin to come back suddenly in a certain year, and then the two of them will achieve a positive result.

This is what they think should be the plot development.

——I really think too much.

Perhaps it is because the waiting is full of unknowns that it looks extraordinarily beautiful. The innocent boys and girls all look forward to the fate of falling in love with their first love after many years.

It is indeed beautiful, but it is not enough to support the reality of life.

Although he is one of this group of boys and girls right now, since he was with his father since he was a child, he has seen a lot of worldly sophistication, so naturally he is less naive and more realistic.

He thought that the road he would take in the future must be a neat and orderly road after eliminating all impracticalities.

And Weng Lin has a fatal point, she made a not completely wrong judgment on Bian Zhenhua, this is the reason why Bian Xiang chose to separate without hesitation, saying that he is irrational, but in the end the dragon has the scales.

His father is the pillar of the entire Bian family, no matter what, he does not allow anyone to judge him rashly.

Time has passed, and some explosive emotions have weakened a lot. Now it seems that they can calmly think about all kinds of things between the two of them.

Of course Weng Lin knew that it was his birthday habit, and it was his intention to say that there was nothing wrong with the message. He thought about it and replied with two words——

【thanks! 】

Polite and distant, but could not fault it.

After waiting for a while, the other party did not reply again, probably because they felt that it was meaningless to come to this point, so they just sent a blessing.

He went out after finishing the soup. Shen Yunjia walked towards the kitchen and pushed him back as he walked.

"Come and help, let's eat."

A long-lost family reunion.

There was no deliberate explanation, and no gift was prepared in advance, but Lao Bian rarely opened a bottle of red wine and asked Bian Xiang to raise the wine glass together, which was regarded as a little expression of celebrating his birthday.

Ms. Shen spent a whole day preparing a table of dishes that looked like a full banquet of Man and Han. She even paid special attention to the arrangement of the dishes. The red radishes were carved, the green coriander was embellished, and the combination of Shandong and Cantonese banquets was an improved mix and match.

Thinking of giving her a thumbs up: "Miss Shen, your skill is getting more and more amazing! You even learned how to carve flowers. Didn't you secretly go outside to enroll in some class while the old man was away?"

Shen Yunjia waved his hand smartly, "Do you have to learn this secretly? It's upright! As for the effect, I know it in my heart, you two can boast a few words at will."

This shameless posture is really getting more and more fascinating.

Suddenly I don't know how to answer her.

He rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform, and when he stretched out his hands to pick up vegetables, the bracelets were exposed.

"Hey, you took off your school uniform and came over to eat—yo?" Shen Yunjia saw it with sharp eyes, "Where did you get the Buddhist beads? Let me see, have they been consecrated?"

After speaking, he grabbed the hand he was thinking about, and he was happy when he saw the cats of different shapes above him, "Eh? You still have cats on your prayer beads? The one you keep outside? Has this cat also been consecrated?" ?”

While thinking about it, he rolled his eyes, "What is the one raised outside? It's as if I raised a Xiaomi."

Shen Yunjia smiled and said, "What's the matter? You've collected a lot of cat food and don't let me tell you!"

While trying to take off the school uniform jacket and hang it on the back of the chair, he touched the bracelet and said, "It was given by the back table, and the cat on it was also drawn by him. We raise this cat together, so it is so domineering!"

"Draw it yourself? That's a lot of effort!" Shen Yunjia's eyes widened in surprise.

Although I wanted to collect it so quickly that I couldn't take a closer look, but I can vaguely see that there is no repetition of the patterns on it.

"This kid is very caring."

She wanted to make good friends with her classmates, but she had met a few of them, so she had a good idea.People like Zhang Hongkuan and Wang Zhichao, if they really want to give gifts, they must spend money to buy it. In terms of high value, it must be definitely higher than this bracelet, but in terms of thoughtfulness, I’m afraid it’s not as good as the picture above. much.

"Hey, you're so nice to him, why don't you ask him to go home for dinner? It's a pity that he even took the trouble to prepare a gift for you. You haven't brought your classmates back for a long time, right?"

Thinking about it, I didn't deliberately not bring Yu Jinle to his house, it's just a habit. Now that Shen Yunjia said so, I really felt that I should bring Yu Jinle to his house to play - although there is no fun of.

"Next time, it's exam week now Miss Shen, don't you want to review?"

Shen Yunjia nodded, "That's true."

Bian Zhenhua coughed next to them, and glanced at the two of them, "Eat as soon as you eat, and go chatting after eating."

When the elders spoke, Xiao Xiami had no choice but to keep silent. They looked at each other and grinned at her while thinking about it.

Although Lao Bian missed him a lot when he was away, but when he came back, he disliked his serious face.

There are only three people in a house, all of them are from our own family, what are you doing!

So while thinking about it, my skin felt itchy again, and while biting the crispy chicken bone between my fingers, I said, "Dad, do you know the Wei family over there in the military area?"

Bian Zhenhua looked up at him: "What?"

"I went to military training during the summer vacation. Didn't I have a roommate named Wei? That's the Wei family."

Of course Bian Zhenhua knew that if he threw his son inside, he would keep an eye on his every move!

"I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it."

Although the military and government are family members, they are still not the same family, and they are not particularly close friends.But they are all people who have been in the system for a long time, and their status is there. There are only those who are not familiar with them, and there are no people who don't know-but that's all.

You don't need to be too familiar with it, just know it.

At the same time, he wanted to tell his father what Wei Xihuai said.

Bian Zhenhua didn't say a word after listening, just pick up vegetables and eat without commenting.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to talk about these dark things with his son, thinking that it was his heart, and if there were no accidents, he would only and must have this only son in his life.Although the growth ability is inseparable from experience, but his current three-view construction is not yet stable, and some things will be harmful rather than beneficial if exposed to some things too early.

Dirty things are unavoidable in life, but that's not the main theme, it's just that people have to follow the rules in the game, and he can't be made to take these things for granted.

But he remembered that today is his son's birthday.

A few months ago, it was his son who stood in front of him and kept denouncing him that it was time for him to become an adult, and he didn't want to hide under the wings of his parents all the time.

Yes, eighteen years old, already at the critical point of adulthood——

At his age, he had already packed his bags and joined the army. In that place of strict discipline, he started his long journey, from naive and ignorant to the current level...

Who doesn't come from ignorance?After all, you have to be mature, so why worry about your children growing up too fast as a parent?

Just when he couldn't sit still thinking about it, his father just glanced at him lightly, "Ducheng is a small place, but the locals are exclusive, but the wind of protecting each other is too strong, and everything is prosperous and the other is damaged. There have been ups and downs a few times, and a few unknown pawns have fallen, but it doesn’t have much impact on the whole.”

Although the city is small, it forms a unique area in South China with the surrounding Chaoshi and Rongshi. This area has the same customs, close culture, and related interests. It is not easy to integrate, but once you enter, you will be protected on this floor In the complicated relationship, it is like having a fleet escorting in the vast sea, and with a little effort, everything will be smooth sailing.

As for the situation, it doesn't hurt to teach at the moment.

"You have to understand that the water is so clear that there are no fish. If you want to integrate into this circle, some things are always unavoidable."

"Everything you do is clearly in the eyes of outsiders. If you want to do things, you must first learn to be a man. Do you really think that your father and I can get here alone?" He said with chopsticks After ordering some soup, I drew a large circle on the table and then another small circle.

"This is the circle of Dacheng—" he pointed to the big circle and said, "Not only in Dacheng, but also in various places and at all levels, but the Chaoshan area is special. We will discuss this later."

"This is our Bian family." He drew another big circle outside the small circle, tangent to the big circle just now, "This is the Chen family."

I wanted to stare at those dripping circles.

"Although your grandparents have been away for a few years, the distant relatives and neighbors are still there. Nowadays, every move of our family, including how we treat the relatives of the Chen family, especially your uncle, is all watched by others."

The roots and branches of this circle are entangled, even if the tree falls and the monkeys are scattered, there are many monkeys climbing on other trees around and staring at them with wide eyes.

"Since you use the contacts of the Chen family, you must follow the rules honestly. People will judge the situation. Once there is a cooperative relationship, some things will inevitably be disassembled and interpreted carefully. How can I treat your uncle now? How they might be treated, so they have to judge my every move."

The two tangent circles have arrows connecting with each other, representing each other's judgment and decision-making.

"Of course I took care of your uncle to this extent, not just because someone was watching. I have my own reasons. I have mentioned this to you before, so I won't say it again."

Thinking about it, of course he remembered that his father insisted that Chen Wentong was the only surviving son of the Chen family, and it was his mother's order before she died.

"——Going around, I can't avoid it. No matter how I treat him and clean up the mess for him, in addition to fulfilling my responsibility to the Chen family, in the eyes of others, it is actually a kind of friendly gesture."

The author has something to say:
