Chapter 304: , too unexpected! How could this happen? (Please subscribe)

After returning from the rehearsal at the CCTV studio hall, Li Heng didn't make plans to eat with anyone else, but instead planned to go to his parents' place in Gulou.

The three were still staying at Yu Laoshi's house near CCTV.

Entering the house to drink a cup of hot water, Li Heng put the ocarina back in the room and asked Zhou Shihe: "Yu Laoshi plans to drive me over. Shihe, are you coming along?"

Having not gone last time, Zhou Shihe shook her head again: "I'm a bit tired, you guys go."

Li Heng said: "Then we might come back quite late. I'll bring you dinner then. If you're hungry, eat something to pad your stomach first."

"Okay," Zhou Shihe replied, personally seeing the two out the door.

In the Mercedes-Benz, seeing him staring out the car window in deep thought, Yu Shuheng asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Li Heng didn't come back to his senses.

Yu Shuheng glanced at him and asked: "Are you thinking about why Shihe refused to go to your house twice?"

Li Heng turned his head: "Not really. By the way, Teacher, why do you think Shihe refused?"

Yu Shuheng guessed: "She might be afraid that your parents will misunderstand and it will be awkward."

Li Heng was speechless: "Aren't you overthinking it? I didn't even consider that aspect at all."

Yu Shuheng said playfully: "She doesn't know you have two other women in Beijing. But if she knew, she might be even less likely to go home with you."

Li Heng: "."

Last time, his dad, mom, and second sister misunderstood Yu Laoshi. If Shihe went, they really might misunderstand.

Thinking about it this way, it's better that Miss Zhou didn't come, saving the trouble.

Turning left at the intersection ahead, Yu Shuheng asked: "Why do you dare to invite Zhou Shihe home? Aren't you afraid Chen Zijin will be jealous?"

Jealous?

Isn't it the same thing whether she's jealous sooner or later?

If she's not jealous now, once she gets on stage at the Spring Festival Gala, she will inevitably ask. But of course, he couldn't say that, so he said:

"Zijin is a very sensible person. Besides, I'm thinking of staying over there tonight."

This was his main purpose. Sending the invitation was firstly because he was afraid of neglecting classmate Shihe, and secondly, he missed Zijin.

A picture of him rolling in bed with a woman suddenly popped into Yu Shuheng's mind, and she glanced at him twice:

"You can also stay over there; I'll just go back alone."

Li Heng looked straight ahead, not taking the bait, wondering what he was thinking.

Familiar with the route, they arrived in Gulou District. The Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the two carried gifts, walking one after another toward the middle of the hutong.

Only then did he notice that Yu Laoshi, who had been all in black during the morning rehearsal, had changed her clothes at some point. She was wearing a fitting light red coat, paired with a perfect scholarly temperament, fully displaying grace and nobility.

This is the true daughter of a noble family; every word and action is full of substance, and every step is full of grace.

Li Heng asked: "Teacher, did you change your clothes specifically?"

Yu Shuheng said warmly: "Didn't you say last time that your parents have a taboo against black? So I wore red today."

Li Heng praised: "If you wore bright red, it might be even more beautiful."

"Bright red? I do have it in my wardrobe, but it would be too enchanting and wouldn't fit my status as a teacher," Yu Shuheng said.

While talking, the two arrived at the courtyard gate, and he raised his hand to knock.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me, open the door."

Today the sun was shining brightly. Tian Run'e was originally listening to Peking opera and sunbathing in the courtyard. Hearing this, she happily trotted over and opened the door.

"Manzai, you... Yu Laoshi is here too."

Seeing Yu Shuheng behind her son, Tian Run'e immediately stopped greeting her son, hurriedly stepped over the threshold, and took the things from Yu Laoshi's hands with both hands.

She didn't forget to be polite: "Yu Laoshi, it's enough that you came; don't bring such valuable things."

Yu Shuheng smiled and said: "Just a little token, it's not worth much."

To be honest, Li Heng didn't know what Teacher had brought over.

But he felt it shouldn't be cheap, after all, there weren't many things in her house that were cheap.

Entering the courtyard gate, Yu Shuheng looked straight at the tape recorder on the stone table. What was playing inside was exactly the Peking opera *Mu Guiying Takes Command*, Huang Zhaoyi's voice.

Yu Laoshi swept a glance at Li Heng calmly, but the latter had no reaction.

He really had no reaction, because his attention wasn't on the tape recorder, but he walked straight into the house to talk to his dad, Li Jianguo.

"Dad, how is your health recently?"

"Much better. Yu Laoshi is here, please sit." Seeing Yu Shuheng, Li Jianguo hurriedly stood up to offer a seat, tidied up the things on the coffee table, and then went to pour hot tea without stopping.

Yu Shuheng sat down with great cultivation and started chatting with the old couple about family matters. For example, asking about their health and their living situation in Beijing.

Li Heng walked around and asked: "Eh, Dad, where is Second Sister? Not at home?"

Li Jianguo said: "She took Zijin home; she'll be back in a while."

Li Heng was stunned and turned around: "Zijin went home?"

Li Jianguo looked at Yu Shuheng and said: "After the exam, she has been accompanying your mom and me here for the past few days. Tomorrow her aunt's daughter is getting married, so she went home. She left around 3 o'clock in the afternoon."

Li Heng was a bit depressed. Recalling, her aunt's daughter should be getting married during this period. After all, in his previous life, the first child of his and Zijin was born in early 1994, and the other party's child was more than 5 years older than his own; he remembered vaguely.

Hearing "Zijin," Yu Shuheng had been secretly observing the expressions of the three members of the Li family. From the few words just now, it could be inferred: it seems Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo already regarded Chen Zijin as their daughter-in-law and often lived together.

It's just that she didn't know if this couple knew about the existence of Song Yu and Xiao Han?

If they knew, yet were still so biased toward Chen Zijin, then the move by the Chen family to treat the other party's body was too correct; for the time being, they were almost in an invincible position.

If they didn't know, everything was easy to say.

This little boy is really a flirt. One woman is already living at home, yet he is still causing trouble outside. Later, he must have a good talk with Comrade Shen Xin about how to explain this hexagram?

As Yu Shuheng thought, her eyes suddenly froze, and she was a bit stunned.

She could actually see a photo of Huang Zhaoyi here?

A group photo was placed on the top of the cabinet. From left to right, they were: Chen Zijin, Tian Run'e, Huang Zhaoyi, Li Lan, and Li Jianguo.

Huang Zhaoyi was in the opera costume of *The Imperial Concubine Gets Drunk*, standing in the center position. Tian Run'e was holding Chen Zijin's hand, and the five of them were smiling, looking at the camera together.

Li Lan and Li Heng's looks were inherited from Tian Run'e; the three looked somewhat similar. Couldn't Huang Zhaoyi see that?

Or was it because she saw the similarity between Tian Run'e and Li Heng's appearance that she was willing to cooperate with the photo?

Seeing Yu Laoshi's gaze fixed on the photo on the cabinet, Li Heng looked in the direction of her gaze, and at just one glance, he was stunned.

He asked after a long time: "Mom, when was this photo taken?"

Tian Run'e took down the photo with joy and introduced: "We took the group photo last week. In two days, your dad and I are going back to our hometown. Your second sister saw that we like Peking opera, so she specifically took us to the theater to watch a performance.

Look at this person, her name is Huang Zhaoyi, she is the big *qingyi* that your dad and I like the most."

Li Jianguo chimed in from the side: "To watch this play, your second sister started planning two months ago. There are not many opportunities for this Huang Zhaoyi to perform in Beijing.

There are only one or two shows a month, sometimes not even one a month. She is quite popular, and tickets are hard to get."

Li Heng and Yu Shuheng looked at each other, their emotions inexplicable.

Tian Run'e was still showing off: "Manzai, let me tell you, this big *qingyi* is especially easy to get along with. When taking the photo, she didn't want to stand in the middle, saying that it was a bit disrespectful to your dad and me.

Look, what a humble person she is.

Your dad and I aren't that old, so your second sister and I insisted on pulling her to stand in the middle."

Li Heng's mouth twitched; he didn't know how to respond.

Yu Shuheng stared at Huang Zhaoyi in the photo and smiled elegantly: "Uncle and Aunt are still quite young; they don't look much older than this big *qingyi*."

Li Heng: "."

He didn't see it coming; this teacher was also a bit bad.

With one sentence, she made Tian Run'e bloom with joy.

In the past, she looked a bit old in the countryside, but after coming to Beijing for half a year, because she ate well and lived well, and no longer worried about her husband's illness, her skin was fair, and her appearance had unexpectedly reversed its aging, restoring some of her original beauty.

The four chatted enthusiastically for about half an hour, and then Second Sister returned.

Li Heng checked the time and stood up: "Mom, please accompany Teacher well for me; I'll go cook."

Tian Run'e said with a full face of smiles: "Eh, go ahead, make a few more dishes that Yu Laoshi likes."

"Mm, I know." Li Heng entered the kitchen.

Not long after, Second Sister, who had been chatting with Yu Shuheng for a while, followed in. She closed the kitchen door and started teasing: "Today's Yu Laoshi is so feminine. Little brother, have you tasted her yet?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "Mom said you guys are going back to your hometown in two days?"

"Yes, the train ticket is at four o'clock in the afternoon on the 2nd. Zijin is going back with us," Li Lan said.

Li Heng asked: "Then what did the doctor say?"

Li Lan told him: "The doctor said it's no problem to go back for a period of time. He prescribed some Chinese medicine and plasters. After the aunt's daughter gets married on the sixth day, we will immediately rush back to Beijing."

Li Heng nodded, then lowered his voice: "After returning to Qian Town, try to take Zijin out to play more; don't let her meet Xiao Han in town alone."

Li Lan sneered: "What are you afraid of? Afraid they'll fight?"

Li Heng ignored her tone: "Fighting won't happen. But they have had a grudge for a long time, and if they meet, it's inevitable that there will be a war of words. Help me stop them."

Li Lan shook her head: "Not necessarily able to stop them. Last night Zijin slept with me and said she wanted to go see her junior high school alma mater, and Xiao Han's house is right opposite the town middle school. It's possible they might meet."

Li Heng said: "At the end of the year, there will be a continuous market in town, and there are so many people, how could it be so easy to meet? You pay attention, and later I'll give you money to open a shop and do business."

Li Lan asked: "How much are you willing to lend?"

Li Heng said: "You name a number."

Li Lan calculated with her fingers: "5,000."

Li Heng agreed readily: "I thought you wanted a lot, it turns out it's just this little. Don't say 'lend' for 5,000; little brother will support you unconditionally."

"That won't do. Close brothers settle accounts clearly; one thing is one thing, I won't take advantage of you. Also, don't be too cocky now that you have money; save it well. I see your women are one after another; it will probably cost a lot of money to support a wife and children in the future. It's good to have a count in your heart," Li Lan said.

Li Heng chuckled: "Don't worry about money, I can't possibly lack money to spend in this life..."

He was halfway through his sentence when his mom broke in and said to Li Lan: "Lanlan, you go accompany Teacher, I have a few words to say to your brother."

Li Lan twisted her mouth, washed her hands, and left.

Closing the door, Tian Run'e asked: "Manzai, tell Mom the truth, do you and Yu Laoshi really have nothing going on?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes to the sky: "Your son swears to heaven, it's really clean and white now."

Hearing this, Tian Run'e breathed a sigh of relief, then blamed: "In the future, talk is talk, don't swear to heaven. God doesn't like to pay attention to your kind of romantic affairs.

I just secretly looked at the gift Yu Laoshi sent. There is a ginseng as long as a beard; it's estimated to be 50 years old."

Li Heng didn't doubt whether his own mother could distinguish it. After all, his grandfather's family used to run a pawnshop; what strange and weird things hadn't they seen?

He asked in surprise: "So valuable?"

Tian Run'e nodded, looking at her son's eyes solemnly: "A teacher sent this kind of thing, Mom doesn't dare to accept it, I'm a bit scared!

Manzai, you have to have a limit to your flirtatiousness; don't touch this Yu Laoshi, our family can't afford to provoke her."

Li Heng said: "I know, Mom, don't worry."

A good drum doesn't need a heavy hammer. Tian Run'e sighed: "It seems Yu Laoshi's family is even more substantial than your dad and I thought. Ordinary families don't even have this kind of ginseng, let alone see it once in a lifetime."

Li Heng agreed with this.

Next, the mother and son didn't talk about emotional matters, but talked about their hometown.

Their son is going to be on the Spring Festival Gala. In fact, Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo didn't really want to go back, because there is a TV in Beijing, and they can watch the live broadcast.

As for their hometown, electricity had just been connected not long ago, and it was impossible to have a TV. And even if there was one, the signal in the mountain nest wasn't good. It was estimated that they could receive at most one or two local stations; it was very difficult to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

However, they had reasons they had to go back:

First, the new house was built, and they had to move in.

Second, Grandma was home alone.

Third, it was heard that the second uncle was in poor health and might not last long. He had no children, and Li Jianguo was his closest person, so he had to go back.

At the same time, the policy in Hong Kong and Taiwan had opened up, and the eldest grandfather's lineage was coming back to visit relatives, so Li Jianguo had to receive them.

Fourth, the aunt's daughter was getting married on the sixth day. There was only one uncle, so how could he not go to support the scene?

Dinner was quite rich, and the food was very much to their taste. Yu Shuheng ate half a bowl more rice than usual.

After 9 o'clock in the evening, because they were thinking of Zhou Shihe at home, the two decided to return early.

Tian Run'e originally refused to accept valuable gifts like ginseng, but she didn't know what Yu Shuheng whispered in her ear.

Only to see Tian Run'e's eyes widen, and later she never said anything about not accepting gifts. Instead, she personally saw the two to the alley entrance, and enthusiastically urged them to come again next time, and said she would bring the pig blood balls, bacon, and game that Teacher liked from her hometown.

On the way back, Li Heng in the passenger seat was very curious: "Teacher, what exactly did you say to my mom? Why did she have that reaction?"

Yu Shuheng asked: "What reaction?"

Li Heng gestured with both hands: "Like she was possessed!"

Yu Shuheng laughed and said playfully: "Want to know?"

"Mm," Li Heng looked forward to it.

Yu Shuheng said lightly: "Nothing, I told her that we slept together."
