Chapter 576: , Marry! The Brutality of Song Yu and Zhou Shihe
A bit unexpected.
Entering the restaurant, Li Heng saw the wonton shop across the street at a glance.
Isn't this the proprietress of the Qian Yuejin Wonton Shop at the former Shimen Station?
Didn't expect her to run here. With a big belly, it seems she really is pregnant.
Seeing him staring across the street through the glass, Sun Maning couldn't help but tease: "A pregnant woman with lingering charm, what are you looking at, Li Heng? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her?"
Li Heng was speechless.
He said: "I know that person."
Sun Maning asked: "Who is it?"
Li Heng said: "She's from our town, our group used to love eating wontons at her shop, the taste was really good, didn't expect to run into her today."
Sun Maning scoffed: "Are you sure the wontons were good? Not that the proprietress had a big chest and a perky butt?"
Damn it, this girl is not acting like a human, putting me in a bad spot in front of Song Yu and Mai Sui.
You'll suffer for this later.
Li Heng had no choice but to say: "She is the stepmother of Que Xinyan, uh, can't call her stepmother, she's the mistress of Lao Yong's father outside."
Hearing this, Song Yu and Mai Sui looked in the direction of his gaze together.
Sun Maning stared at the proprietress for a long time, then nudged him with her elbow and asked excitedly: "Tell me, tell me, I love hearing stories about other people's affairs the most."
Li Heng: "..."
Song Yu: "..."
Mai Sui: "..."
Seeing that the three women were all a bit curious, Li Heng immediately recounted the ins and outs.
After listening, Sun Maning rolled up her sleeves and indignantly helped Que Xinyan curse: "I xx! I xxx! mlgb, if I were Que Xinyan, I'd have to take a kitchen knife and chop this pair of adulterers. Zhang Zhiyong is too useless, can't even handle this little thing, and often brags that he can fight three people at once. Bah! A coward."
Song Yu heard this and calmly looked at the person beside her.
Coincidentally, Li Heng caught Song Yu's meaningful look.
Ouch! That was instantly so awkward, damn it, Sun Maning, you big idiot, can you not mention this?
Can we still live like this?
Can we still eat this meal?
Li Heng gave Sun Maning a subtle kick.
This big idiot reacted very strongly, jumped up, and confronted Li Heng: "Why are you kicking me? I'm cursing that big idiot over there, what does it have to do with you?"
Li Heng blinked at her, then blinked again.
Sun Maning said: "Stop blinking, I saw it, I didn't curse you for being philandering, can't I curse someone else? Why are you so nosy?"
Damn it!
He understood, this idiot was doing it on purpose.
She was helping him earlier, and he was moved to tears, didn't expect this idiot to turn around and mock him by hitting the mountain to frighten the tiger.
Damn it, patience has its limits, Li Heng, whose little temper was rising, almost couldn't hold back from pressing her to death with one finger.
Li Heng said to Song Yu and Mai Sui: "Help me manage her, she's completely lawless."
Song Yu smiled and didn't speak.
Mai Sui was even more direct, pretending not to hear, her gaze looking outside the window.
No choice, Li Heng had to turn and threaten Sun Maning: "If you're this arrogant again, you pay for this meal."
"Bah! I have no money, even if you kill me, I have no money." Hearing that she had to pay, Sun Maning instantly wilted, hugging Song Yu's arm with her left hand and Mai Sui's arm with her right, smiling slyly and trying to please them in every way, the language was basically about freeloading, not paying.
Talking and laughing, this meal took over an hour to finish.
Li Heng wanted to rush to pay the bill, but Song Yu didn't let him.
Only later did he realize that this meal was less about treating him, and more about Song Yu treating Mai Sui, and he and Sun Maning were just tag-alongs.
As for the ins and outs, only Song Yu and Mai Sui knew.
Leaving the restaurant, Li Heng asked Mai Sui: "Where are you going tonight?"
Before Mai Sui could answer, Song Yu said first: "Mai Sui, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, come to my house tonight."
Hearing this, Mai Sui agreed.
Li Heng stopped and asked Song Yu: "So fast? Leaving tomorrow morning?"
Song Yu explained: "An elder in the family is celebrating their 70th birthday, and my parents and I have to rush back."
70th birthday?
Song Yu's grandparents didn't seem to be that age yet, it seems it wasn't them, so he immediately stopped asking.
Detouring to the Teachers' College, the four arrived at the Song family's door.
Song Yu pondered for a moment and asked Li Heng: "Do you want to go inside and sit for a while?"
Li Heng was a bit hesitant: "Came in a hurry, I didn't buy any gifts."
Song Yu smiled beautifully, reached out to pull Li Heng's wrist, and led him toward the house.
Li Heng was a bit dazed, then his happiness exploded, and he excitedly followed.
Sun Maning was dumbfounded.
Mai Sui wasn't much better, also dumbfounded.
Looking at the man and woman walking slowly on the stone steps, Sun Maning cursed: "Damn! Li Heng, this dog thing, really has good fortune, this is the first time I've seen Song Yu be so proactive."
Mai Sui didn't speak.
Sun Maning asked: "Are you feeling sour inside?"
Mai Sui said, "No."
Sun Maning didn't understand: "Why would she be like this? Is she doing it for you to see?"
Mai Sui still didn't speak, a sentence ringing in her mind: Song Yu said, I am trying hard to convince myself to accept him.
This "accept him" meant wanting to marry him.
Sun Maning asked: "You and Song Yu, what did you say?"
Mai Sui said: "Didn't say anything."
Sun Maning pouted: "Sure enough! Sure enough, the three of you are a family, I, Sun Maning, am an outsider after all, the misery of burning bridges after crossing the river, nothing more than this."
Mai Sui smiled and reached out to hold her arm, "Alright, stop complaining, Song Yu is waiting for us."
Song Yu was indeed waiting for the two women. After she brought Li Heng up to the terrace, she let go of Li Heng's wrist and turned to look at the two women below the steps.
The steps were very long and very high, totaling more than 80 stone steps.
While waiting for Mai Sui and Sun Maning, Song Yu asked coldly: "Went to the Xiao family today?"
Li Heng's heart was shocked, reflecting on where he had gone wrong?
Where was the leak?
That let Song Yu notice?
Song Yu seemed to see through his heart, her temperament heavy as she said: "Since you knew that Mai Sui and I were meeting today, it must have been Mai Sui who told you beforehand.
But you didn't come to stop it immediately, but rushed over in the afternoon, I think there must have been something more important that you couldn't get away from, and you could only let us meet.
And now in the town, Zijin is not home, only Xiao Han could make you like this, thinking of Xiao Han's mother having been to Fudan University's Lushan Village, this matter is not particularly hard to guess, am I right?"
After speaking, she stared quietly into his eyes.
Li Heng opened his mouth, but finally fulfilled his promise to her and didn't lie: "Yes."
Looking into each other's eyes, after a long time, Song Yu moved her gaze away, looking at the distant skyline that was about to turn dark, and asked: "Then, can you still marry me?"
When she said this, it was as if she was narrating something that had nothing to do with her, without joy or sorrow.
After the words fell, she waited silently.
Li Heng didn't hesitate at all and said decisively: "Marry!"
Song Yu seemed not to have heard this, and after a long, long time, she said softly, "Good."
Smart as she was, she didn't pursue the details of Li Heng going to the Xiao family.
There was no need to pursue it.
He was a grown man, and also an extraordinary man with a set personality, she didn't need to force him, didn't need to deprive him of his freedom and right to breathe.
Some things are better left with one eye open and one eye closed than being aggressive.
Song Yu only wanted one result: his will hadn't wavered, his original intention hadn't changed, he still wanted to marry her, that was enough.
She asked: "Aren't you going to ask if I made things difficult for Mai Sui today?"
Li Heng said: "You are the kind Song Yu, you wouldn't."
Hearing this, Song Yu smiled beautifully, then her eyes became distant: "You are just using my kindness, always bullying me, always finding sisters for me outside, are you really not afraid that I will get angry one day and leave you?"
Li Heng said concisely: "No matter where you go, I will spend a lifetime chasing you back."
Song Yu asked: "And what about them?"
"I'll manage, but you are Song Yu," Li Heng said.
Song Yu withdrew her scattered gaze, her eyes stayed on him for a long while, and finally, she didn't say anything, just said: "Tonight, you, Mai Sui, and Maning, sleep at my house."
Li Heng asked worriedly: "So many people, can we fit?"
Song Yu said: "I already prepared the bedding for you with Mom this morning."
"Ah?"
Li Heng let out an "ah," turned around abruptly, "You, you guessed I would come?"
Song Yu had a smile in her eyes, stared at him without blinking, and calmly spat out three words: "Is it hard?"
Li Heng was shaking all over. At this moment, he felt he had become a transparent person, his whole body was full of transparent holes, and he had nowhere to hide in front of her.
He patted his forehead with his right hand, "This is the strength of getting into Peking University, being too smart is not good, eh."
Song Yu smiled, a long shot of smiling in the dusk.
Mai Sui and Sun Maning finally climbed up.
As soon as she stood firm, Sun Maning complained bitterly: "Song Yu, these stone steps are too hard to walk, let your husband think of a way later, use money to smash out a road to the sky."
Song Yu automatically filtered out some words and said calmly: "We are moving next year."
Mai Sui asked: "Moving where?"
Song Yu said: "To Changshi."
Mai Sui asked: "Is Uncle's work being transferred?"
"Um, to Lake University," Song Yu told them.
Regarding the future father-in-law going to Lake University, Li Heng wasn't surprised at all, and even knew that the little aunt Song Shuyu had helped a lot.
He pondered that he had to buy several properties near Lake University, which would be convenient for Song Yu's family and also for him.
The four entered the courtyard laughing and talking, and saw Song Shi and Jiang Yue peeling sugarcane at the door of the house at a glance.
Hearing the movement, the couple turned their heads together.
When seeing Li Heng in the crowd, Jiang Yue understood why her daughter asked her to tidy up the bedding in the morning, it was for Li Heng.
"Uncle, Auntie." Li Heng was very sweet-mouthed, leaned over, and called out.
"Eh, you're here." Song Shi nodded with a smile.
Jiang Yue put down the sugarcane in her hand and ran into the house to pour tea for them, "Have you eaten dinner?"
"We ate before coming, Auntie, you don't need to worry," Li Heng said, taking the tea.
Next, Li Heng kept chatting with the couple.
Seeing her daughter always sitting next to Li Heng, this time Jiang Yue was different from the past, asking a lot about his family and his new book.
For example, the health of his parents and grandmother?
For example, the progress of his new book mentioned in the newspaper?
But what Jiang Yue was most interested in was his old profession of music, she asked Li Heng: "The newspapers all say you are on "Time Magazine," and also say they will conduct an exclusive interview with you, is it true?"
Li Heng nodded: "Yes, at the end of February, I will go to the Netherlands for a performance, and by the way, accept an exclusive interview with "Time Magazine" there."
Jiang Yue was moved, obviously knowing the gold content and world influence of "Time Magazine," those who could be on such cover magazines and exclusive interviews were all leaders in their fields, all big shots.
She asked curiously: "Besides the flute, erhu, and ocarina, I heard you also play the piano well?"
"Um, it's okay, but after all, the practice time is short, maybe it can't be on the elegant stage," Li Heng said modestly.
It was really modest, he felt he played the piano okay, at least not worse than the mother-in-law in front of him.
Even a little bit better!
Otherwise, how could Chen Siya, who made a living by opening a piano training institution, be amazed by his piano talent?
Although his piano talent was cheating, it was the accumulation of decades in his previous life, but the level was indeed not bad.
Jiang Yue glanced at her daughter and suddenly said to Li Heng: "Auntie likes "The Mark of Rain" very much, but I always feel I can't play the artistic atmosphere in your album, can you play it for me to listen to?"
Li Heng was ashamed.
That wasn't his masterpiece, the piano in the pure music album was played by Zhou Shihe.
Compared with Miss Zhou's level, he was completely a pediatrics, nothing at all.
Song Yu helped him out: "Mom, "The Mark of Rain" is mainly based on the piano, the piano is played by Zhou Shihe."
"I know, Mom just had a whim and wanted to see Li Heng play live." Jiang Yue had spent the first half of her life dealing with music, and for the world-famous pure music album, she treated it like a treasure when she first heard it, and was almost obsessed when she heard it again.
So, she had a selfish motive today, wanting to watch Li Heng perform for free.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Heng.
Since it had come to this, how could Li Heng refuse, so he stood up and asked: "Auntie, at this hour, will it affect the neighbors?"
Jiang Yue said: "The neighbors are usually some teachers, after the winter break, they basically went back to their hometowns for the New Year, don't worry."
"Eh."
The group came to the piano room.
Li Heng was thick-skinned, ignoring the several pairs of eyes staring, sat down in front of the piano and entered his state, not long after, a pleasant piano sound came from the piano room.
Looking at the man in front of the black and white keys, Song Yu's eyes were brighter than ever, she personally liked the piano very much, but her talent was limited, she could play, but not brilliantly.
Now hearing "The Mark of Rain" under Li Heng's fingers, Song Yu looked a bit quiet, this feeling of years being quiet was the first time it appeared in her heart.
Mai Sui looked at Li Heng, and couldn't help but associate him with another best friend with great piano talent, Zhou Shihe.
Does he really have a romantic entanglement with Shihe?
Is it really like what Xiao Han said, he only loves big beauties, and has really fallen deeply in love with Shihe?
Until now, Mai Sui still didn't believe it. She believed that Li Heng and Shihe were innocent.
Listening to the piano sound that was better than her own, Jiang Yue was first a bit happy, and then a bit regretful.
Regretful that Li Heng's background was not good, otherwise, with his strength in such a short time, he could have gone further on the piano road.
But later, thinking of Li Heng's attainments in literature and other musical instruments, Jiang Yue was relieved, things are hard to be perfect, if there was no Li Heng's bitter experience since childhood, perhaps there would be no talented Li Heng today.
It seems that everything has a fixed number in the dark.
After playing one song, Jiang Yue smiled and said: "Played very well, Auntie received some inspiration, come to the house to play the piano more often when you have time."
Jiang Yue's words were meaningful, making Li Heng's eyebrows almost happy to the sky.
He hurriedly said "eh eh" twice and agreed.
In fact, from the bottom of her heart, Jiang Yue didn't want to say this.
But just now she had been secretly observing her daughter's expression, seeing her daughter's look of great favor for Li Heng, and then thinking of her daughter asking her to prepare bedding this morning, she sighed secretly, and finally fulfilled her daughter once in addition to being happy.
The next time, Sun Maning shouted that it was not fun, and shouted to play cards to pass the time.
Anyway, the TV was not good, so the group agreed.
Drawing cards, Li Heng had bad luck, drawing to be on the same side as Sun Maning.
Instantly, both of them didn't want to, so they drew again.
This time Li Heng and Song Yu were on one side, Sun Maning and Mai Sui were on the other.
Mai Sui didn't understand much, and asked Maning, "Li Heng has always had good luck, why don't you be on his side?"
Sun Maning pouted: "Good luck, can it be better than Shihe...?"
Before she finished speaking, a foot suddenly stretched out from under the table and kicked her.
Sun Maning instantly bared her teeth and wanted to spray Li Heng beside her, but found from the corner of her eye that the culprit was actually Suisui, so she immediately stopped with doubt, and changed her words: "Besides, Mai Sui, is your brain stiff? Li Heng and Song Yu are a couple, why would I go and disturb their husband and wife? Am I full and have nothing to do?"
A sentence "Li Heng and Song Yu are a couple," and another "their husband and wife," made Song Shi and Jiang Yue look at each other.
Observing her daughter carefully for a while, seeing her daughter's expression calm, without any waves, as if she had long accepted this title, Song Shi quietly pulled his wife's sleeve, "Dinner was a bit full, accompany me for a walk."
"Good." Jiang Yue moved to follow.
After the old couple left, Sun Maning winked at Li Heng, meaning: I'm treating you well, right? Treat me to dinner later.
Li Heng blinked, meaning: No problem.
Song Yu saw their little actions, smiled calmly, and didn't speak.
Coming outside, Song Shi took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and asked: "What do you think?"
"Alas, no need for me to think, the daughter is grown and not controlled by the mother, the daughter probably already has an idea," Jiang Yue replied with a sad face.
Song Shi nodded, "Seems so, this time Yu Bao seems more determined than the previous few times, seems, seems..."
Halfway through, he couldn't go on, his heart was blocked.
Walking silently forward for a hundred meters, Jiang Yue rejoiced: "Fortunately, we already made the worst plan."
Hearing this, Song Shi looked back at this home where they had stayed for almost 20 years, "Going to leave, suddenly a bit reluctant."
Jiang Yue said: "It's hard to leave the hometown, just treat it as for the daughter."
It is really hard to leave the hometown.
After graduation, the two were assigned here to work, and in a blink of an eye, 20 years had passed, the couple had long treated this as their hometown, didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with changes, and they had to leave, eh.
Of course, they had thought about going to Changshi to work before, but at that time they were only occasionally moved, after all, the human relationship network was all here, and the couple without much pursuit didn't really want to leave in the end.
But as the relationship between the daughter and Li Heng became clearer, during the summer break, the couple had to take out the shelved plan to go to Changshi again and put it back on the agenda.
After half a year of hard work and pulling strings, the higher-ups finally transferred them to Changshi, to Lake University.
After 9 o'clock in the evening, the couple returned home and started to go to the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack.
After 10 o'clock in the evening, the couple who had made the midnight snack came to the card table to watch the battle.
Jiang Yue liked Mai Sui very much, seeing her husband sitting beside her daughter, she simply sat beside Mai Sui and watched Mai Sui play cards.
Seeing this scene, Sun Maning almost laughed crazy in her heart, thinking: Look, look, every time I come to your house as a guest with Suisui, Auntie, you always show concern for Mai Sui, and let me be free-range, humph! Now it's good, you raised a love rival for your daughter! Oh hahaha...!
Sun Maning's inner drama was very rich, rich enough to show on her eyebrows.
Li Heng looked up and asked: "Maning, why are you so excited? Is the hand good?" ===== CHAPTER 577 =====
