Chapter 3

The day is getting colder and colder.

Yang Yuyan doesn’t like to go out in winter, but the third day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is Zhu Yanshu’s birthday, so she discusses with Yang Yucan about how to celebrate Zhu Yanshu, whether it’s to go out to eat, go out to watch a movie, or both.

“Dinner at noon and a movie in the afternoon.” Yang Yuyan said.

Yang Yuchan said, “Then mom can be willing? A day without playing cards ……”

Zhu Yan Shu’s addiction to cards was quite big.

“Mom hasn’t eaten on the street for over a year, she mentioned it to me. Also these three or four years, she hasn’t even gone to the movies.” Yang Yuyan said.

Before Yang Xuhe had an affair, he and Zhu Yanshu were also known as a divine couple. Both of them had studied, both of them came from bookish families, and both of them had gone through the impact of the New Wave, so they had a lot of common language. After Yang Yuyan came here, she merged a lot of memories with this “Yang Yuyan”, only that the previous Yang Yuyan was probably a person who didn’t like to study, so she lost all her knowledge, but she merged a lot of other memories.

She remembers that in the past, Yang Xuhe liked to go to western restaurants with Zhu Yanshu to eat, go to the theater, and go to the movies.

This kind of romance ceased to exist after Yang Xuhe left, and Zhu Yanshu threw more energy into the card table.

“With all the new restaurants opening, mom definitely wants to try them.” Yang Yuyan said, “There’s also a new movie with Zhou Xuan in it.” Although she didn’t like old movies, Zhou Xuan was really pretty! It made her rise that little bit more interested in movies as well.

Yang Yucchan was convinced, “Alright then, let’s talk to mom together.”

Zhu Yanshu of course didn’t agree at first, but after Yang Yuyan said two or three times, I don’t know what happened, but she agreed!

Zhu Yanshu said excitedly, “Then let’s take this opportunity to make a new dress for the three of us!” She twisted Yang Yuyan’s sleeve in disgust, “Don’t wear this dress out in the future, the sleeves are all frayed.”

Yang Yuyan lifted her sleeve and looked at it, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, it was old, but it was comfortable to wear.

But Zhu Yanshu is happy.

Zhu Yanshu also said to find a day, the three of them to go to the tailor store tailoring pick material, must find a good day of sunny days.

From this day on, the weather forecast at home is important, every morning, Zhang Ma is seriously on time to unscrew the radio, listening to the weather forecast.

At the breakfast table, Zhu Yanshu said, “Yan Yan and I are simple to take advantage of big sister’s time. Big sister, is your school busy lately?”

Yang Yucan opened her notebook in a serious manner and looked at it before saying, “I still have some work left to do, but I’ll definitely have time by Thursday.”

Yang Yuyan said, “Then pray to God Buddha that Thursday is a good day!”

Zhu Yanshu glared at her, looked at Zhang Ma in the living room, and whispered to Yang Yuyan, “Don’t follow Zhang Ma’s example! God and Buddha together, it’s not a hodgepodge!”

Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan both poofed and hurriedly stifled their laughter.

Su Chunjun also knew that Yang Yuyan was going to make some clothes, because she had a rare opportunity to look up Yang Yucan’s pictorials.

She, however, rarely looked at the pictorials, saying that everything in them was too old-fashioned. He didn’t know if it was because Second Miss Yang was too discerning or what, Shanghai Pictorial had heard that even the President’s wife liked to read it, and was called old-fashioned by her.

So when he saw her flipping through the pictorial, he couldn’t help but be very surprised.

Yang Yuyan: “I’m going to make new clothes with my mom and sister to see what’s fashionable now, so I don’t show up at the store and lose face.”

Su Chunjun usually loves to read the pictorials, and as a young man, he is of course attracted to the beautiful young actresses in the pictorials. However, because of his shyness, he always took advantage of other people’s books. He saw that the one in Yang Yuyan’s hand was new, so he went over and said: “Which one do you like? I’ll give you some advice.”

Yang Yuyan put all the favorites in her hand and handed them to him, saying, “This is the one, this one, and this one.”

Su Chunjun took a look at the three sets of cheongsams, none of which were western-style dresses. He remembered that Miss Yang usually wore cheongsams, and the few dresses she wore were old.

“Why don’t you pick a foreign dress? Girls nowadays love western clothes.” He asked.

Yang Yuyan: “Nowadays, foreign dresses are all dirt, I don’t like them. How can they look as good as cheongsams?” This is all handmade by the master! Do you know what the price will be? At least four figures.

Again, it’s dirt. I don’t know what Ms. Yang doesn’t see as dirt.

Su Chunjun himself had no preference for cheongsams or dresses, and was used to Miss Yang’s usual style of looking down on everyone. So he didn’t comment, and only picked out one of the three cheongsams with red flowers on a white background.

“This one suits you best.” Most suitable for a little girl.

Yang Yuyan scrutinized the cheongsam for a few moments, and was also very attracted to the other one with white flowers on a willow leaf green background, and couldn’t part with the two pieces.

Su Chunjun tea sitting and waiting for a moment, see her still entangled, come over to look at two eyes, said: “Willow leaf green also set off people white, but a little bad face will show face yellow. The white cheongsam on the other hand, no matter how good or bad the person’s face is, it will set the person off whiter by one point.”

“Is that so?” Yang Yuyan was quite moved by the phrase “one point whiter”, and finally looked favorably on this one, folded a corner, and planned to show it to the master when she went to make the dress.

Putting down the pictorial, she was satisfied and went to drink tea and eat snacks, and had more time to talk to Su Chunjun.

“You’re really good at picking out clothes! You can’t see it normally.” She inclined her head and looked at him with a sly smile.

Su Chunjun knew that this was another stab at his lack of a girlfriend, and he responded by putting down the tea cup in his hand and picking up his textbook, “Let’s start reading!”

Yang Yuyan’s face instantly hangs down, her little face bulging with anger! But even though she was angry, she didn’t dare to say a word, she could only put down the snacks in her hands and obediently took out her pen and book.

Su Chunjun was satisfied.

The two teach and learn, another hour, and when the class is over, it is already dusk, Zhang Ma have come back to start cooking, the fragrance wafting out of the kitchen for a while, attracting people drooling.

Su Chunjun is not open fire, Zhang Ma said he can not even boil the water, usually go outside to eat.

Yang Yuyan asked, “What are you going back to eat?”

Su Chunjun: “I’ll just go outside and buy a bowl of noodles.”

Yang Yuyan: “Do you want to eat at my house then?”

Su Chunjun hesitated for a moment. Although the noodles in the soup outside were not bad, he had been eating them for two years and had gotten tired of them. Although he was willing to stay, he felt that Yang Yuyan might not be able to make a decision.

“Is what you say okay?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Is it okay?

He had taught her for half a year, so it was okay to keep him for dinner, right?

Yang Yuyan: “Don’t say anything, I’ll go ask Zhang Ma.”

Su Chunjun sat down at ease and watched Yang Yuyan run into the kitchen jumping like a little swallow, leaning on Zhang Ma’s body as she swayed and pampered herself.

“Is it okay? Is it okay?” Yang Yuyan grunted.

“Yes, yes, my little aunt! If you keep shaking, the soup will spill! Quickly go out and set the table!” Zhang Ma said in a panic.

Yang Yuyan immediately ran out happily and reported to Su Chunjun, “Okay! Follow me to wash your hands!”

Su Chunjun had been in the Yang family for many days, and this was the first time he stayed for dinner. He followed behind Yang Yuyan, first going to wash his hands, then wiping them clean, then accompanying her to the dining room, laying the tablecloth, putting the placemats on, then taking out the dishes from the cupboard.

At this time the doorbell rang.

Zhang Ma: ”There are still guests today? Yan Yan! Go open the door and see who’s here!”

Yang Yuyan answered and ran to open the door, Su Chunjun was still in the dining room all heard Second Miss Yang’s voice was not right.

“It’s you again!”

This tone of the door is not like seeing a guest.

Su Chunjun saw that Zhang Ma in the kitchen hadn’t yet realized what was going on in front of the door, and hurriedly went out from the dining room, raising his voice, “Yan Yan, who is it?”

Walking up to the door, it was a young man, probably in his thirties, with two moustaches, wearing a white suit, dressed in an unorthodox and greasy manner. He was carrying two pastries in his hand, and was being blocked at the door by Yang Yuyan.

When he saw Su Chunjun, he was also very surprised and hurriedly introduced himself, “I am Dong Zai Feng, a disciple of Mr. Yang.” While extending his hand to shake.

Su Chunjun also shook it and introduced himself, “Su Chunjun, I am Miss Yang’s tutor, teaching her English and Japanese.”

Dong Zifeng immediately made a big sigh of relief and said, “Before I heard that Yan Yan had been refusing to go to school and was worried for her, but now that I see that she is still studying, I can rest assured.”

Yang Yuyan did not forget to show herself even when she was blocked by Su Chunjun, and returned a heavy cold snort at Dong Zai Feng’s self-centered elder paradigm. If anyone could see her, they would have rolled their eyes again.

However, Dong Zai Feng did not show that he was offended, and was quite thick-skinned.

Su Chunjun was naturally still towards his student, and instead of saying that he would let people in, he continued to chill, “If Mr. Dong is looking for Mr. Yang, he is not at home at this time, so why don’t you ……”

Dong Zifeng quickly said, “I came to visit the master’s mother, the master’s birthday is coming up, I did not take anything good, only mentioned two boxes of the master’s mother used to love to eat snacks, sorry.”

Sounds like a good person ah, to the present still recognize the master mother, but also specially come over.

With that said, it would be inappropriate for Su Chunjun to block the door again, so he had to make way and invite Dong Zai Feng in. The most coincidental thing is that he turned around and saw Zhang Ma watching from the kitchen door, and when she saw Dong Zifeng come in, she didn’t come out at all, but went straight back into the kitchen.

This shows that Mr. Dong is really an unwelcome guest.

Dong Zifeng wasn’t afraid of strangers and went straight to the dining room when he entered.

Su Chunjun pulled Yang Yuyan, whose face was still very ugly, behind him and asked in a low voice, “Why do you hate him so much? Is it because he is Mr. Yang’s student?”

Yang Yuyan sneered and bit her ear with him, “He came to borrow money!”

So that’s how it was.

This Su Chunjun also understood. This Mr. Dong is afraid that he always borrows the name of Mr. Yang’s disciple, saying that he has come to visit his teacher’s mother, but after visiting, he loves to open his mouth to borrow money. Before Ms. Zhu was afraid but face borrowed a few times, after understanding that he is no longer welcome to visit the door, the result is that Mr. Dong is still thick face time and time again to come to the door.

Su Chunjun said to Yang Yuyan, “Don’t worry, I’ll drive him away.”

Yang Yuyan’s disbelieving gaze immediately swept to his face, “You?”

Su Chunjun walked over and sat down with Mr. Dong. Yang Yuyan hid outside, Zhang Ma hid in the kitchen, and the two hosts didn’t even send up a mouthful of tea.

Mr. Dong, of course, will not be moved by this coldness. Seeing Su Chunjun over, he smiled and chimed in, “I don’t know where you work?”

Su Chunjun: “I’m still studying.”

The smile on Dong Zifeng’s face was a little more: “I wonder which school?”

Su Chunjun: “Nanjing University.”

Dong Zifeng’s eyes lit up, “You are indeed a highly talented student! I have a few classmates who teach at Nanjing University, so maybe they taught you.”

Su Chunjun laughed, “In that case, Mr. Dong is like a teacher to me! I wonder which university Mr. Dong teaches at?”

Dong Zifeng shook his head loftily, “I’m not a teacher, I just publish some articles in the newspaper from time to time.”

Su Chunjun looked in admiration, “So Mr. Dong is the one with the deepest secrets!”

Seeing that he had subdued Su Chunjun, Dong Zifeng became even more arrogant: “Where where.”

Su Chunjun eagerly said, “Although it’s the first time I’ve seen Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong’s elegance has already overwhelmed me!”

Dong Zifeng smiled and waved his hands, “I wouldn’t dare!”

Su Chunjun: “Mr. Dong must be the mainstay of the newspaper!”

Dong Zifeng hurriedly said with a solemn face, “You can’t say such things! I’m still a student, and I haven’t learned enough!”

Su Chunjun: “Mr. Dong is so modest, how admirable! I just hate that I’m still in school and can’t follow Mr. Dong!”

Dong Zifeng was flattered: “I don’t think so. But if you usually have any difficulties in your studies, you can also come to me, and it’s nothing for me to give you a few pointers. ”

He kept on kissing ass here, the tail of his eyes swept to the outside of the restaurant door standing at the edge of the second Miss Yang is almost angry crooked nose.

Su Chunjun secretly laughed in his heart and didn’t dare to delay any longer for fear that Second Miss Yang would suddenly have a seizure.

He suddenly grabbed Dong Zifeng’s hands, “Mr. Dong, I have an uninvited request!”

Dong Zifeng froze for a moment, but still nodded, “But is there something you don’t understand about the article?”

Su Chunjun face shame: “My family has not sent me living expenses for three months, now even the rent can not afford to pay, I do not know if I can borrow a hundred …… dollars from Mr. Dong business? To solve the urgent need.”

Dong Zifeng: “……”

Su Chunjun: “Mr. Dong? If a hundred is not available, fifty will do.”

Yang Yuyan covered her mouth by the door, not daring to laugh out loud.

Dong Zai Feng, who was pestered by Su Chunjun and kept asking where he lived, which newspaper office he worked for, and how he went to visit Mr. Dong, had to flee. Su Chunjun sent him all the way to the downstairs and chased him across the street before he came back with a flourish, and as soon as he walked in the door, Yang Yuyan screamed and ran to him, “You’re too good! As soon as he entered the door, Yang Yuyan ran to him with a scream, “You’re too good!

Su Chunjun laughed, “A small matter. People like him are most afraid of people asking him to borrow money. I’ll go to him again tomorrow, so that as long as I still live in this building, he won’t dare to come to your house to borrow money.”

Yang Yuyan was surprised: “You’re going to find him again tomorrow?”

Su Chunjun: “I’m taking advantage of the situation. Let him believe that I’m a better cowboy than him, so he won’t dare to come.”

Yang Yuyan worried: “You are not afraid of your reputation ……”, so deadbeat borrowing money, reputation will become bad, right?

Su Chunjun: “I was originally poor ah.”
