Several times in dreams

Chapter 174 Alone

"Dad, what are you doing here? You're not familiar with the environment when you first came here, so you'll get used to it after a while." Yu Hui comforted her quickly. It seemed that the old man lost his temper after a quarrel with the other door.

"I'm not losing my temper." As if seeing through Yuhui's mind, Zhang Ruimin said solemnly: "I know you are filial to me, and I am afraid that I will be alone in the Great Northern Wilderness. The living conditions here are good, but my old comrades-in-arms In the Great Northern Wilderness, without them, I am really lonely."

"Dad! When you get used to it here, you will make new friends." Zhang Chunshan persuaded his father.

"I'm almost 80 years old, how can I make new friends! My loess is buried up to the neck. I didn't want to leave today because I had a fight with the boy at the opposite door. I wanted to leave a long time ago! It's not convenient to go up and down here. I I'm just like a prisoner all day long, locked in this small room of a few square meters." Zhang Ruimin said angrily.

"Then I'll take you out for more walks in the future and look around the scenery." Zhang Chunshan said again.

"What scenery to see? I have traveled all over the world for decades, and I have never seen any scenery! I have lived in the Great Northern Wilderness for decades and I am used to it. When I go out, there is a courtyard. There are old comrades-in-arms everywhere. There are endless things to talk about, and we fight together every day. Mahjong, have fun! Don't worry about me!"

Seeing that the old man was so stubborn, Zhang Chunshan and Yuhui discussed to send Zhang Ruimin back to the cadre rest center in the Great Northern Wilderness next month after the summer vacation.

Zhang Xueqing lingered in the art cram school until dark before returning home. The sketch assigned by the teacher today was completed long ago, and she was praised by the teacher.

In the past six months, Zhang Xueqing's painting performance has continued to improve. When she first came to learn painting, Zhang Xueqing thought she was good at painting, but as a result, she was severely criticized by the teacher.

Because Zhang Xueqing has never studied painting systematically, she relies on her own comprehension and speculation. It is one thing to be talented in painting, but another to be unprofessional.

Because she draws blindly by herself, Zhang Xueqing has many bad habits in her painting techniques that she shouldn't have. The teacher said that a blank sheet of paper is easy to teach, but it is more difficult to correct someone like Zhang Xueqing.

In order to correct her shortcomings, Zhang Xueqing decided to abandon all the so-called experience she had summed up before and learn from scratch.

In the studio of the school, while others paint for an hour, Zhang Xueqing paints for two or three hours. Sometimes all the people leave, and she still sits in the studio alone and ponders, observing the key points of copying still lifes under different angles and light.

The hard work paid off, after half a semester, Zhang Xueqing's painting level improved rapidly, and she successfully completed the painting course of this semester.

At this moment, the teacher and classmates had already left. Zhang Xueqing sat in the studio and took out Zhao Chenxing's letter.

The letter this time was unusual, with more than 20 pages of letter paper. In the letter, Zhao Chenxing confessed to her. After more than a year of correspondence, the two young people have a better understanding of those troubles that cannot be shared with others. , but they can talk to each other without any obstacles. For a period of time, Zhao Chenxing has become the spiritual pillar for Zhang Xueqing to persist in learning.

The summer vacation is here, and Zhang Xueqing's cultural class performance has improved by a full ten places compared with last semester. Although she is still in the backward echelon, she has made considerable progress.

Zhang Xiangxiang is in the second grade, and her grades are stable in the top ten. After this summer vacation, she will be a third-grade elementary school student. Zhang Xiangxiang has a slender figure since she was a child, and she is slim, especially her two long legs, which are straight and slender. The teacher said She's a good dancer.

Zhang Xiangxiang herself also likes dancing very much. She wanted to sign up for a dance summer camp privately run by a music teacher and learn to dance in her spare time. Yuhui firmly disagreed, which made Zhang Xiangxiang very unhappy.

Zhang Chunshan sent his father back to the cadre rest center in the Great Northern Wilderness, and brought back his aunt Wenlan when he came back.

This surprised Yuhui. A few days ago, Wang Yuhong's letter mentioned her aunt's affairs. It is said that rumors were flying all over the farm, saying that Wenlan was going to marry Changsheng. married.

But Yuhui was very puzzled, her aunt didn't mention anything in her letter, and Yuhui couldn't take the initiative to write a letter to ask. When the two mothers talked about this at home, Meng Wanying said that it was not credible.

"I know Wenlan very well. She has been arrogant since she was a child. At that time, Changsheng was interested in her. We all know it. But your aunt told grandma at that time that she didn't like Changsheng. She wanted to find someone A capable, capable man."

"What if I'm getting older now and want to find a companion?" Yu Hui analyzed.

"There is no chance. All these years have passed. She is the kind of person who would rather be absent. Although Changsheng is an honest person, he has always been kind to your aunt. Even his wife Lan Xiang has been nice to her. Wenlan just wants to take advantage of this moment , give him a favor, it's a reward."

Seeing her aunt coming back, Yuhui admired her mother even more. It seemed that her mother understood her aunt. If what Wang Yuhua said was true, why would her aunt come back with Zhang Chunshan?
Over the past six months, Wen Lan has become tired and thin from serving Chang Sheng, her two cheekbones stand up, her cheeks are sunken, and there are many wrinkles. After all, she is in her 60s.

"Auntie, you've been exhausted for the past few months. Let my mother kill a chicken tomorrow to make up for it!" Yu Hui distressedly took Wen Lan's hand, which was dark and thin with veins exposed.

"No need! This little thing won't bother me." Wen Lan smiled.

"Is Uncle Changsheng better?"

"Okay, anyway, that's it, I'm doing my best to him, put on the prosthesis, after training, he can take care of himself no problem."

Wen Lan's eyes dimmed, clearly not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.

After Zhang Ruimin left, the two sisters moved back to the hut again, and went about their own business after dinner without interfering with each other.

Meng Wanying and Wenlan also returned to their room to rest, "Sister-in-law, I almost married Changsheng..." Wenlan said suddenly.

Meng Wanying was taken aback, this is not Wenlan's character, "I still want to ask you, Wang Yuhong wrote to Yuhui a few days ago, telling Yuhui about the farm gossip, and I said you can't marry Changsheng, why? I'm tempted ?”

"It's not that I'm tempted anymore. I haven't been in that mood for so many years. I just saw that he had no one to take care of him, so I decided to help him. I got along very happily, but I really thought about it once. Wouldn't it be great to be a companion!"

"What then?"

"Later?" Wen Lan laughed mockingly, "Later they told me that Chang Sheng spread the news everywhere that we were going to get married, but we never talked about this topic!"

"No wonder!"

"My, I woke up all of a sudden! Changsheng is still that little man. Although he is honest and has no evil intentions, he is not the kind of upright man I like at all. I will not let it go!" Wen Lan's eyes flashed with determination. Light.

"You, it's still you!"

The sisters-in-law laughed together.
