Chapter 580: , That Lost Youth

Inside the Mercedes-Benz.

Li Heng asked: "Teacher, is everything in Jingcheng finished?"

"Um," Yu Shuheng responded harmoniously.

Li Heng gossiped: "Why did Jiao Sect and Sister Xu start quarreling on the phone?"

Yu Shuheng said: "They often quarrel, they quarrel several times a year, this time the fuse was Jiao Sect saying that Editor-in-Chief Liao is older than Mother Suyun.

By the way, Suyun has returned to Shencheng."

Li Heng was surprised: "Spending the New Year at my senior brother's house this year?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Should be."

Li Heng asked: "Then whose surname does the child follow?"

Yu Shuheng said: "The first child follows your senior brother, the following ones follow Xu."

Li Heng asked: "What if my senior brother only has one child and doesn't have any more?"

Yu Shuheng smiled meaningfully: "They will have more, your senior brother is not like you, people can endure."

Li Heng was speechless.

It was very obvious, the teacher was a bad-hearted one, using that sentence "I will not be wronged in front of your kind of big family" to tease him.

Driving forward for dozens of miles, Yu Shuheng asked: "Two more big grass carp, another bag of winter bamboo shoots, did you go to Mai Sui's house in Shaodong County?"

Li Heng didn't hide it: "Stayed there for two nights."

Yu Shuheng glanced at him, pondered for a long time and asked: "How do you plan to handle Mai Sui in the future?"

Li Heng looked out the car window: "Teacher, do you reject her?"

Yu Shuheng didn't reply at the first time, looked ahead for a long time before saying faintly: "Little man, if the teacher rejects, will you abandon her?"

Li Heng didn't hesitate: "No."

Yu Shuheng sighed softly, and after the car drove another twenty or thirty miles, she said softly: "The teacher is generous, allowing you to have two concubines."

The implication was: she could accept Mai Sui.

It was consistent with previous statements.

Li Heng pondered for a long time, and finally said honestly: "Mai Sui is very good to me, gentle and not noisy, I'm a bit unable to leave her."

Yu Shuheng understood his subtext, the core was "not noisy."

Thinking about it, she reminded: "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world, and don't underestimate people's parents, this is your second time going to Shaodong County, some things will have traces once they happen, it's better to control the exposed feelings in the short term."

Li Heng didn't make a sound.

He very much agreed with the other party's words, once it happens, there will be traces. Look, this time Mai Sui revealed flaws invisibly, and I don't know if Mai Dong, this future father-in-law, will think too much? Will he have already noticed something wrong?

Seeing him silent, Yu Shuheng asked worriedly: "Could it be that it's already exposed?"

Li Heng shook his head, denying it: "No, I went with Sun Maning, she covered for me, these two days I didn't have any excessive actions with Mai Sui."

Yu Shuheng fell into deep thought.

The Mercedes-Benz drove all the way north, got off to buy some things when passing Huixian, then passed Huamen, Hexiangqiao, Liudouzhai, Qijiang, and Yanggu'ao, and finally arrived at the town in the evening.

Passing Shimen Station, she looked at the Qian Yuejin Wonton Shop and asked: "The previous shop closed down? Why is the brand changed?"

Now it is still selling wontons, but the proprietress and the door plaque have changed, and the business has followed and fallen sharply.

Li Heng said: "The previous proprietress is now opening a shop in Shaodong County, now it is her husband who is operating it."

"The business was so good, why run to Shaodong County? Now this business can't compare to before?" Yu Shuheng looked puzzled.

Li Heng said: "There are hidden feelings."

Yu Shuheng asked curiously: "What hidden feelings?"

Li Heng immediately told the story of the affair between Zhang Zhiyong's father and the proprietress, and at the same time pointed to the girl cooking wontons in the shop: "That is the proprietress's daughter, now a senior at Lake University, coming back during the winter break to help her father operate the business."

Yu Shuheng frowned, looking at the girl in the shop carefully and said: "This girl is quite good-looking, her mother was pregnant with another child before she divorced."

Li Heng said yes.

Yu Shuheng asked: "Her father didn't go to find trouble?"

Li Heng said: "He did go, but Lao Yong's father's social composition is relatively complex, he has a sand mining company in Shaodong County, and has many people under him. They made trouble once but had no results, instead, he was beaten up, finally heard that people swallowed this breath for the sake of this daughter's safety."

Yu Shuheng asked: "How is the relationship between Zhang Zhiyong and his father?"

Li Heng said: "Broken. Que Xinyan's mother is now making a fuss about divorce."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng parked the car on the side, "Teacher is a bit hungry, let's go down and eat a bowl of wontons."

Li Heng looked up at the sky that was about to turn dark, thinking that because it was inconvenient, he didn't notify his family to prepare meals for the teacher in advance, so he followed her down.

The girl in the shop recognized Li Heng at a glance, remembering that the town's little town flower Xiao Han had come to the shop to eat initially.

Similarly, the girl also knew that he had a very good relationship with Zhang Zhiyong, so when looking at Li Heng again, there was no admiration in the girl's eyes, it looked very flat, and she didn't even take the initiative to greet him when business came.

Yu Shuheng roughly figured out the girl's heart, smiled and said: "Bring two bowls of wontons, one medium bowl slightly spicy, one big bowl extra spicy."

Yu Laoshi was born too beautiful, with a very strong scholarly temperament, the girl couldn't help but look at her several times, before looking down to cook the wontons.

Waited for several minutes, the wontons were served, Li Heng couldn't wait to taste it, then was uninterested. The taste was actually not bad, but it lost the amazing feeling of the past, which was also the reason why the business was not as good as before.

The girl had been observing his expression, finally, her city was not enough, and asked him: "Is it hard to eat?"

"It's okay." Li Heng was surprised, didn't expect the other party to talk to him, still thought she would innocently implicate him because of Lao Yong's relationship.

The girl said: "It's okay, it means it's very average, my mother, the secret recipe for boiling high soup in the past, I didn't learn, leading to the taste being worse, and the business is not good."

The girl subconsciously said "my mother," but changed her words, obviously very hateful of the proprietress's behavior of abandoning her family.

Before Li Heng could answer, the girl asked: "How is the relationship between Zhang Zhiyong and his father now?"

"Broken, just like you," Li Heng answered honestly.

Hearing this, the girl said: "Today's wontons are on me."

Li Heng smiled, feeling that the other party's attitude had changed a lot, as for the reason, he could figure it out with his toes.

Yu Shuheng was a bit hungry, and ate all 15 wontons into her mouth in a leisurely manner.

On this side, 10 wontons were a small bowl, 15 a medium bowl, 20 a big bowl. A big bowl was twice as expensive as a small bowl.

After the meal, the two left, Li Heng still silently pressed the money under the bowl.

Perhaps, for the girl, this money didn't matter, she was happy to hear that Zhang Zhiyong and his father had broken up.

But Li Heng had eaten other people's food, so he couldn't not pay.

The Mercedes-Benz started again, rushing to Shangwan Village.

Halfway there, the sky turned completely dark, Yu Shuheng was a bit unaccustomed to the winding mountain road, and instantly reduced the speed to 20 yards.

Li Heng said: "Teacher, how about I drive."

Yu Shuheng hesitated for a moment, didn't let him: "You've only been touching the steering wheel for less than a year, this kind of road is dangerous, wait a few years before I let you."

Damn it, he heard thick distrust.

Old man was a veteran driver for decades in his previous life, and had driven three cars before and after, eh.

Li Heng didn't force it, then acted as a guide, where there was a turn ahead, where he needed to honk, where he needed to slow down, etc., he kept nagging and prompting in the passenger seat.

In the middle of the night, Yu Shuheng driving this kind of high mountain road was a huge challenge, her nerves were tense all the way, fortunately, she arrived at the village without danger.

Small cars were extremely rare objects in this era, not to mention this kind of luxury Mercedes-Benz, as soon as it entered the village entrance, it quickly caused a huge sensation, and many people followed behind to watch.

Someone said: "Yo, by the sound, it must be that literary star from the Li family who came."

Someone also said: "This lineup! This style! Even more awesome than the town mayor, the town mayor's car is not as good-looking as this, I'm afraid it's not just the literary star who came back, I'm afraid that university teacher came."

Someone echoed: "What are you afraid of? I dare to guarantee it is, don't you remember, last time, last time that fairy-like female teacher drove this kind of black shell to our village."

"..."

Regarding the relationship between Yu Laoshi and Li Heng, the village had long derived various versions, but due to the prestige of the Li family now, due to the Chen family's high position, everyone only dared to chew the roots of their tongues behind their backs, and it was a song of praise on the surface.

But no matter which version of the rumor, everyone felt that Li Heng's peach blossom luck was prosperous, this female teacher was comparable to the Xiao family girl in the small town, very beautiful, making everyone envious.

Seeing the bright and beautiful Mercedes-Benz passing by, listening to the flattering voices of the people around, Fat Aunt felt more uncomfortable than seeing her husband and daughter-in-law having an affair, instantly the melon seeds in her hand were not fragrant, and she got up and rushed home.

An aunt shouted: "Fat Aunt, why are you leaving? Don't sit for a while?"

A man laughed: "Li Heng is back, glorious, Fat Aunt staying has no face, don't wait for you to watch the show and laugh at her."

An old man also fell into the well, "Fat Aunt, I advise you to sit for a while, your Master Liang is hugging your daughter-in-law and gnawing, don't go disturb their good deeds."

Master Liang, that is the Liang-surnamed man who has a reputation for incest that has spread across all the surrounding villages.

And don't even mention it, that old man from the Liu family actually guessed right just now; the Liang-surnamed man was indeed secretly meeting his daughter-in-law in the bedroom.

This is not, you listen, after a heart-rending cry, you heard the sound of a hoe and shoulder pole smashing the door, then, Fat Aunt dragged her daughter-in-law by her hair out of the front door, cursing all the way, the words were as vicious as they could be, as ugly as they could be. Her daughter-in-law hadn't even had time to put on clothes...

Ya Huo Hey! Don't know who screamed, people at the crossroads all ran over to watch. Causing the Li family entrance to instantly become quiet.

Seeing Yu Shuheng enter the door, Li Jianguo and Tian Rune were instantly busy, first serving tea and showing concern, then running to the kitchen to cook dinner. Even if Li Heng said they had eaten wontons in the town, it didn't dispel the enthusiasm of the old couple, and they said wontons counted as what, dinner must be rice.

Eat dinner!

Yu Shuheng smiled and said in Li Heng's ear: "Forget it, let them cook, I'll eat some later."

Hearing this, Li Heng exited the kitchen, "Then I'll accompany the teacher to drink some wine."

Yu Shuheng nodded, then said: "You see if there is hot water, I want to take a bath."

"Eh." Li Heng responded, turning to arrange hot water.

For a time, only Yu Shuheng and Li family grandmother were left in the hall.

Li family grandmother secretly observed Yu Laoshi several times, thinking of the rumors in the village in her mind, but she still didn't dare to believe: such a good-looking university teacher, Jian Guo said the other party's family threshold was very high, so high that the Li family couldn't look up to it, and the age was much older than the precious grandson, how could she take a fancy to the big grandson?

But if she didn't believe it at all, Li family grandmother was very puzzled: this is the second time coming, and it's almost New Year, could it be that the teacher-student relationship is really good?

Sensing that Li family grandmother was secretly observing herself, Yu Shuheng smiled refinedly and called very politely: "Grandmother."

Li family grandmother showed a kind face, "Eh, teacher, sit for a while, rushed for a day, drink some coarse tea."

Yu Shuheng really sat on the side, chatting with the old man very patiently.

Although grandmother was a genuine rural woman, didn't read a few years of books, but her children were promising.

Son was a college student, had been a department-level cadre, daughter-in-law was also a college student; eldest daughter married well; youngest daughter worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, youngest son-in-law was a real-power section-level cadre in Lengjiang, and was about to be promoted, her eyes were much better than ordinary people. The two could barely chat.

Suddenly, grandmother asked tentatively: "Teacher, are you married?"

Smart as Yu Shuheng, how could she not understand the deep meaning? Pondered for a while and

Grandma asked again: "Then do you have a sweetheart now?"

Yu Shuheng pondered for a moment: "I do."

Grandma's heart skipped a beat. Could the rumors in the village be true? She looked at her nervously.

Facing each other, Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, then asked: "Has Grandma heard some bad rumors?"

Grandma did not admit it: "No, Teacher, don't overthink it. Everyone, everyone is saying that you have been a great help to our Li Heng. If our Li Heng can have what he has today, you deserve half the credit."

Everyone helps carry the sedan chair; Grandma clearly understands this tune as well.

Yu Shuheng said: "I dare not take credit; it was just a small favor. He is very pleasing to my eyes."

Grandma asked: "What is 'pleasing to the eyes'?"

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly and explained: "It just means I have a good impression of Li Heng, and I find him pleasant and comfortable to look at."

Grandma leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, have you taken a liking to my eldest grandson?"

Yu Shuheng was stunned; she did not expect the old lady before her to be so blunt.

She wanted to admit it, but felt that would not be good.

She did not want to admit it, and felt that would be even worse.

In that instant, she was stumped.

After a long while, Yu Shuheng decided to be bold for once: "Grandma, how about I become your granddaughter-in-law?"

This time it was Grandma's turn to be in a difficult position. Her eyes widened; it was both unexpected and not unexpected. In any case, she looked very surprised.

Grandma instinctively wanted to ask, "Aren't you his university teacher?", but naturally, she could not ask that out loud. In the end, she just hummed and smiled kindly: "Good! Good!"

Grandma is old and has never been to big places, and compared to others, she hasn't seen much of the world, but at least she is not behind others in terms of human relations and worldly wisdom. Now she has fully reacted: regarding this teacher before her, Jianguo and Run'e were probably already aware of the inside story long ago; otherwise, they wouldn't be so enthusiastic, and the eldest grandson wouldn't have brought her home.

But the problem is...

The problem is that Run'e said this morning that the Chen family across the way would be back in a few days, and Chen Zijin would be coming back with them.

If Yu Laoshi and Chen Zijin meet, won't they have to fight?

Grandma said it was good, but in her heart, she was comparing Chen Zijin with Yu Laoshi before her.

Once she compared them, she inexplicably felt a bit of heartache for Chen Zijin, that girl. Grandma knows, she knows that her daughter-in-law has a great prejudice against the Chen family, and she is afraid that the teacher will really succeed.

But no matter what is said, Grandma actually has a very strong opinion about the Chen family; she favors her own kin over reason, after all. It's just that they helped find a doctor to cure her son's illness, and her eldest grandson did indeed sleep with their flower-like, beautiful girl. With good and bad things intertwined, she herself sometimes doesn't know what to do.

Li Heng came out, walked over, and said to Yu Laoshi: "Teacher, the hot water is ready. Go take a bath."

"Okay." Yu Shuheng stood up. Before leaving, she said to Grandma: "Grandma, I'll go wash up first, and I'll come keep you company in a while."

Li Heng's grandma pursed her toothless mouth and nodded with a smile.

Watching her eldest grandson and the teacher leave, Grandma went to the kitchen, closed the kitchen door, and asked Li Jianguo: "Jianguo, will this Yu Laoshi be one of our own in the future?"

Li Jianguo was stunned and looked at his wife.

Tian Run'e, who was cutting vegetables, turned her head and asked: "Mom, what do you think of this Yu Laoshi?"

"She's good, beautiful, and has, has a noble air." After tilting her head and thinking for a long time, Grandma finally came up with the word "noble air" to describe the feeling Yu Laoshi gave her.

Uh, she heard the word "noble air" from her younger daughter's mouth; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to think of it.

After finishing, Grandma lowered her voice and asked: "Such a good teacher, has she really taken a liking to our eldest grandson?"

Tian Run'e glanced at the kitchen door: "Indeed, your precious grandson is giving me a headache now."

Unexpectedly, Grandma said: "What's there to have a headache about? No need to make it so mysterious. Eat according to the size of your bowl. If our eldest grandson doesn't have that ability, he will calm down on his own after a while."

"That's what you say, but if he gets someone pregnant, I'm afraid it won't be easy to clean up," Tian Run'e said with extreme worry.

Grandma remained very bold: "So what if she gets pregnant? Getting pregnant is good. Does my grandson not have the ability to support a child now? Let alone one, ten or eight are not a problem. While I can still move, I can help raise them."

Tian Run'e was between laughter and tears: "Mom, it's not just about the child; it's that it's not easy to give the woman's family an explanation."

Grandma smacked her lips: "What explanation is needed? When we didn't have food to eat back then, we would fight over a sweet potato in the field. If you won the fight, you'd hug the sweet potato home; if you lost, you'd swallow your broken teeth. It's the same principle. Our eldest grandson is that sweet potato now; let them fight over him themselves."

Tian Run'e smiled bitterly: "Mom, the woman's family is not simple; it's not easy to deal with."

Grandma shook her head, very domineering: "What's not easy to deal with? Killing someone is just a point on the head; if you get killed, it's just a scar the size of a bowl. Three years ago during the summer vacation, if I had been home, I wouldn't have let you go to the Chen family to plead for mercy. If he slept with her, he slept with her; no one was tied up. It was all voluntary with legs spread. If something happens, can you blame my eldest grandson alone?"

Tian Run'e shut her mouth. She had always felt that Lanlan was not like her, but like this mother-in-law, with a very sharp and spicy style of doing things.

It's just that this mother-in-law often helps raise children at her younger sister-in-law's house and doesn't stay at home for many days throughout the year.

A few years ago, when everyone couldn't even get enough to eat, this mother-in-law took the initiative to go to her younger sister-in-law's house, also with a plan in mind: let her younger daughter support her to reduce the burden on her son.

Outside, it was noisy. Yu Shuheng, having finished her bath, came to the second-floor corridor, looking down at the neighbor, Fatty Aunt, and her daughter-in-law pulling each other's hair, and the Liang-surnamed man and his son fighting in a ball.

Li Heng said from the side: "Teacher, shall we go inside? It's cold outside."

Yu Shuheng seemed to see through his little thoughts: "Are you afraid that I will think your folk customs are evil and vulgar?"

Li Heng waved his hand: "No. Where there are people, there is a world; where there are people, there must be filth and dirt. Such things that hurt customs are not to say they can be seen everywhere, but they certainly exist in the dark."
