Chapter 23 You Know

"You don't care how I met." Xu Zhi glanced at his little sister: "This man doesn't look very old, but he is much older than your brother and me."

"So?" Xu You then asked.

Xu Zhi stood up: "What's the reason? I'll go back to the room to sleep for a while. This wine is a bit sweet."

But Su Chen didn't drink much, because he had to go back, and Xu Zhi didn't persuade him, Xu Zhi drank most of the bottle of wine.

After Xu Zhi returned to his room, he closed the door, then took out the 1000 yuan bill with his body temperature, counted it carefully back and forth, and finally let out a long breath.

1000 yuan, this is a huge sum of money, for some people, it may be a year's salary;

But for most people, it may be several years of wages, and they even have to eat or drink to have so much money.

I don't know what that guy was thinking, 1000 yuan was given to himself without blinking an eye, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it was given after drinking.

For Su Chen, throwing out 1000 yuan directly is not because he has too much money.

But he really wanted to find a partner. If Xu Zhi ran away with the 1000 yuan now, he would lose the 1000 yuan.

Character is something that needs to be tasted.

Besides, if you can run to a monk, can you also run to a temple?
Coming out of Chopsticks Alley, the snow hadn’t stopped, and there were only buses running on the road. It was probably too cold, and I didn’t see anyone.

After getting on the bus and getting off the bus, he didn't know whether Xue Yu had eaten. He bought a roast duck on the side of the road and took it back. When he returned to Dongmen Hutong, there was another layer of snow that had been shoveled off in the morning.

Push open the door and step into the yard.

Xue Yu just came out of the study, and when she saw Su Chen, she said, "Are you back? Have you eaten yet?"

"Have you eaten, Mr. Xue, have you eaten? I just bought something to eat on the way." Su Chen lifted half of the roast duck in his hand and walked over.

Xue Yu sniffed her nose: "Why do I smell alcohol on you? Have you been drinking?"

"Drink a little, warm your body." Su Chen raised his hand and sniffed: "Strange, why didn't I smell it?"

"If you can smell it, you'll be damned." Xue Yu reached out and said, "I just haven't eaten, so give it to me, and I'll heat it up."

"Good."

Xue Yu probably waited for Su Chen to come back before eating, but since Su Chen had already eaten, she could make it herself.

"Do you want to eat more?" Xue Yu asked before going to the kitchen.

Su Chen shook his head: "No, Mr. Xue, you can just eat what you eat, I'm still full."

"OK then."

……

After staying in the capital with Xue Yu for another day, the two of them were ready to go home.

Because both of them are going to take the train to Baodingfu and then transfer, it happens that they can go together.

The two of them didn't bring much, just one bag each, and squeezed onto the train bound for Baodingfu.

Su Chen didn't bring all the money back, he only brought 2000 yuan, and the 2000 yuan couldn't be known to his parents, otherwise he didn't know how to explain it, but he didn't know if Cao Weimin had come back.

He tightly guarded Xue Yu behind him. There were so many people of all ranks and grades on the train, and there was no telling when the bag would be cut off, so he had to be careful.

Compared with when I came here, there are a lot of people now, some are college students who want to go home for the New Year, some are workers from various industries,
Fortunately, the distance from the capital to Baoding Mansion is not too far, so he didn't suffer much.

Xue Yu turned to look at him: "Su Chen, when do you plan to return to the capital?"

"The eighth day of the lunar new year." Su Chen had made an appointment with Xu Zhi to go south during the Spring Festival, so he had to return to Beijing in advance.

Xue Yu was taken aback: "It's so early?"

"It's getting late, Mr. Xue, when are you going back to Beijing?"

Su Chen took out the key to the door, the key to the study, and the key to his own bedroom, and gave one to her: "Maybe when you come back, I won't be in the courtyard, so I will trouble Teacher Xue to stay in the courtyard for a while." a period of time."

"Well, I've become your housekeeper, okay, I'll guard your little yard for you because I've been living in your house for the past few days." Xue Yu sighed and reached out to take the key .

"Then please trouble Teacher Xue." Su Chen said with a smile, "I don't feel at ease if it's someone else."

Xue Yu didn't ask him what he was going to do, since Su Chen asked her to help guard the house, then help him guard the house.

Moreover, she does not treat this boy who is younger than herself as a younger brother.

But she didn't know what Su Chen meant to her, and she couldn't ask such things clearly.

After looking out the window for a while, she said slowly, "I'm 22 this year..."

"22?" Su Chen pretended to be surprised: "Mr. Xue, if you didn't tell me, I thought you only had one."

"Don't be so talkative." Xue Yu rolled his eyes at him: "I was just lucky. My second uncle worked in the capital, so I avoided going to the countryside. Last year, my second uncle asked someone to find a relationship and asked me to be a tutor. Otherwise, I probably don’t know which mountain nest I’m in now.”

Su Chen listened quietly.

"In a few years, I will be thirty. Find someone to marry, start a family, work while educating the children, and then wait for the children to grow up. My life will be like this. You are only nineteen now, and you still have a family." When you are young, there will be infinite possibilities in the future." Xue Yu said pretending to be relaxed.

Su Chen turned his head and looked at her seriously, with a serious face: "Mr. Xue, are you serious?"

"What do you mean I'm serious? Could it be that what I said is not true?" Xue Yu said with a pretty face: "Also, do you really regard me as a teacher?"

Facing Xue Yu's question, Su Chen couldn't help thinking deeply, did he really regard her as a teacher?
But it seems not.

"What? Can't answer?" Xue Yu suddenly felt a little lost, and she didn't know where the loss came from.

Su Chen didn't speak, but reached out and held her hand. It was very cold in winter, but her hand was still very delicate, without the slightest dryness or roughness, just like holding a piece of jade.

"You, what are you doing?" Xue Yu panicked for a while, and wanted to pull her hand back.

Instead of letting go, Su Chen interlocked his fingers.

Then he said, "You understand."

"I don't understand." Xue Yu's face was hot again, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was held tightly by this man, unable to break free.

I can only let this person clasp his hands tightly, his heart beats faster, and it feels like it could pop out of his throat at any time.

Su Chen smiled: "I know you understand, and you also know what I want to say."

"Bah, you can't die of embarrassment." Xue Yu spat.

……

After the train arrived at the station, the two got out of the car. Up to now, the two have gone on different paths.

Su Chen sent Xue Yu to the bus to Chongming, and said: "Be careful on the road, if it's not so busy, I'll go find you."

"I am such an adult, I will definitely take care of myself." Xue Yu took the time to scramble to write an address: "This is my home address, come here if you are free, if you are not free, don't use it, don't you have to go back to the capital after the next year. "

"Okay." Su Chen waved his hand and watched Xue Yu's bus leave.

Turning around, he also took the bus to Rongcheng, took out the paper from his pocket, and glanced at it.

Farewell, Sister Daiyu, Farewell, Sister Baochai, and so-and-so, also farewell...

When he got home, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Just when the parents came back from get off work and saw their son coming back, Su Weiguo complained: "You kid, you didn't send a telegram in advance when you came back, and you even asked Mr. Toro to tell me that you would come back this day."

"Mr. Luo has been here?" Su Chen was taken aback, because he really didn't know about it.
