Chapter 43
The names of the three young people do not need to be detailed, who knows if we will see each other again in the future?
Yang Yuyan only vaguely remembered that the square jawed one was named Fang, the short-nosed one was named Xu, and the stunted one was named Gao.
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan age difference of only two years, when I was a child, I can see the difference in size, and now they have grown up is almost the same, wearing a general model, and in front of the guests, they are all smiling virtuous woman.
Three young people from the left to see the right, and then from the right to see the left, the two sisters are very satisfied.
A certain aunt called out to Yang Yucan to sit down, letting Yang Yuyan go and play with the children, the youth with the high surname hurriedly said, “All sit, all sit.” He also got up to give up his seat.
This wolfish look of his was really obvious in the eyes of the crowd of wives and madams who had practiced and attained Taoism.
One of the ladies covered her mouth and laughed, “Then sit down, sit down and talk.”
How would Yang Yuyan sit on the chair he offered? Now a hidden white eyes rolled up, twisted face to Zhu Yan Shu side to go, sit down on the arm holding Zhu Yan Shu to her just discovered the experience of the whole pouring to the mother know, angry to be pulled over the Yang Yucicang a pair of eyes overflowing with murderous gas, dead glare at the beating of the pro sister.
Wish Yan Shu heard surprised: “Yo, there is this thing?” That Ma Tianbao is good looking? She didn’t think so.
Yang Yuyan signaled her to look at the three men in the room, “How do you compare to them?”
Zhu Yanshu hurriedly whispered, “Don’t worry, tell your sister that I don’t have my eye on these three, and I won’t force her.” How are these three people worthy of her daughter?
She pushed Yang Yuyan, told her to hurry up and go to Yang Yucan’s heart, and when her second daughter reluctantly got up, she looked at these three youths, and compared them with Ma Tianbao in her heart, and finally felt that Ma Tianbao wasn’t so worthless.
However, it still can’t be.
Yang Yuyan slipped to her sister’s side, Yang Yucan has been pulled by the lady to sit down, is forced to listen to the youths’ family details. Yang Yuyan was pulled by her, in order to prevent her sister from pushing her sister, Yang Yuyan hurriedly whispered Zhu Yanshu did not approve of these three youths.
Yang Yucan heart a big stone put down, willing to let her sister a way out. However, she still did not forget to warn her: “Don’t talk nonsense again!”
Yang Yuyan raised her hand and swore, “I promise not to talk nonsense!”
And then ran to the restaurant in a huff, playing with a group of little kids.
Adults with empty lives could bring their children to visit their homes during the New Year’s period. Every family had its own problems, either because their husbands were not to their liking, or because they didn’t get along well with their mothers-in-law, or because the heavy household chores were distracting, and the empty wallets made people feel anxious. The New Year can make everything temporarily forgotten, put on new clothes, wear a new hat, go to any house to spend time will not let people kicked out, there are sweets and snacks melon seeds can be coaxed children, which gained a temporary ease.
So wives and madams brought their children, and they chatted about the gossip of life in the drawing-room, while the children ate candy in the dining-room.
Yang Yuyan was a few months short of adulthood, but was not the biggest of these children, the two teenagers sitting against the wall were, one of them was eighteen, one was nineteen, they were no longer considered teenagers, they could be viewed as youths, but even though they were already adults, they were still mixing with the children.
This was also something that couldn’t be helped.
Regarding their story, Yang Yuyan knew all about it long ago.
They came here after Mrs. Liao, who was the wife of the director of the fire-fighting bureau, and Zhu Yanshu, who was a poker friend, and was also Yu Yingda’s introducer. Mrs. Liao kind eyebrows, and the Goddess of Mercy has a seven-point similarity, I heard that she is nine years older than Secretary Liao, now the two couples stand together, but more like a mother and son.
The two teenagers were said to be nephews of Director Liao, but there were also rumors that they were Director Liao’s illegitimate children. Mrs. Liao is certainly kind as a Bodhisattva, but neither of Director Liao’s young lovers lived too long, one was said to have hanged herself, and the other was said to have eloped with someone, and later fell into the river and drowned.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Liao have always been very harmonious, and it is said that they usually do not even quarrel.
Mrs. Liao has a son and a daughter, the eldest son of the director is born by Mrs. Liao, and is now working in the police station. Zhu Yan Shu has seen the Liao family’s eldest son, said with Mrs. Liao like a full nine points, like a pressed pier, short and strong, eating white fat, looks silly, driving a car to flaunt the city, and recently is pursuing the police chief’s daughter.
Daughter is Mrs. Liao’s sister was born, when the sister lived in Mrs. Liao’s home, and Liao director of the night and day will be secretly in love, Mrs. Liao is not angry, but also for the sister to wait for the month, and so the sister gave birth to the child, on behalf of the sister to find a family, the scenery of the marriage, the daughter was raised in the side of Mrs. Liao, as a general pro-life.
The two teenagers were also taken home by Mrs. Liao when they were young and spoiled like her own, and they were still taken around by Mrs. Liao as children when they were older.
Let’s call these two people Liao Er and Liao San.
Yang Yuyan could see at a glance that among these small guests, the two sons of the Liao family were the ones who needed her serious hospitality.
Liao Er saw Yang Yu Yan walk in and pounded Liao San, both of them stood up together, greeted Yang Yu Yan and bowed together to say hello.
Liao Er: “Good morning second miss.”
Yang Yuyan: “Good morning. You guys don’t be polite, just tell me what you want to eat and play, even if you don’t have it at home, you can go outside to buy it.”
Liao San glanced at the various cakes, cookies and candies on the dining table and said sincerely, “It’s already very sumptuous, many of which I haven’t eaten at home.”
Yang Yuyan laughed, “It’s because I love these things that I always prepare them at home. It’s good that you guys don’t mind, have a seat.”
The three of them humbly let each other sit down, Yang Yuyan first took the milk candies and chocolates and let a circle of bystanders, and then sat back to talk to Liao Er and Liao San with peace of mind.
Liao Er pointed to himself and his brother and introduced, “I’m the second in the family, he’s the third, Miss Er, feel free to call her as you like.”
Yang Yuyan then said: “Second son, third son.”
Liao Er asked Yang Yu Yan: “Where is Second Miss studying? I’ll go find Miss Yang to play.”
Second Miss Yang then confessed that she was a school dud, didn’t go to school and had been hiring a tutor.
Liao Er and Liao San didn’t go to school either!
When a scum meets a scum, they are naturally close to each other. Besides, Liao Er and Liao San were brought here by Mrs. Liao, and were hinted to “know a few girls”, and Miss Yang was beautiful, cheerful and generous, and both of them liked it very much.
Liao Er said he would like to invite Yang Yuyan to dance, Liao San said he would like to invite Yang Yuyan to watch a movie, and both of them competed to issue invitations, and both of them said that they could drive their cars out to pick up Yang Yuyan.
The Zhu family didn’t really have a car.
However, Yang Yuyan does not feel that the car what rare, not to mention that she has long heard Zhu Yanshu gossip about the Liao family, under the heart sympathetic to the Liao two Liao three show off good acceptance.
She shook her head with a smile and refused the car because what Liao Er Liao San said was that they could drive the car themselves!
Classmates, do you have a driver’s license!
The odds were that she didn’t, so there was no thought that she would go for a ride either.
Next the three chatted about the ladies in the pictorials, and how to play poker, mahjong, dice, etc. At first sight it was Mrs. Liao’s teaching by word and example. In the long run these two youths will become gamblers in the near future.
Yang Yuyan does not want to open a gambling house in their own home, but also because Zhu Yanshu although he loves to play cards, but never with two daughters to play, Zhang Ma to the money in the pocket of the eyeballs more than tight, and even more refused to play this kind of “unscrupulous” things – this is Zhang Ma’s original words. However, although Zhang Ma does not play, but Zhu Yanshu to play this acceptance of good, because “or let her go to smoke cigarettes?”
This shows that in Zhang Ma’s eyes, Zhu Yanshu, who has money and leisure and an empty life, has only two choices, one is to play cards and the other is to smoke cigarettes.
Then it’s better to play cards.
Yang Yuyan then said that there is a singing machine at home, why don’t we all listen to songs.
Not only did Liao Er Liao San’s eyes light up, even the other children who were listening to them said yes.
Yang Yuyan asked Zhu Yanshu if she could bring out the singing machine. Zhu Yanshu herself hadn’t used a singing machine for a long time, and seeing that today’s atmosphere was just right, she smiled and said: “What’s wrong with it? But they are all old records, there may not be any songs you like to listen to.”
Liao Er Liao San rushed to move the singing machine, Zhang Ma was afraid that this precious thing was knocked by these young masters and smashed, hurriedly stopped them, he went to carry the singing machine out, cleaned all the debris on the small round table under the window where the vase was placed, put the singing machine on it, and put a shelf for records next to it, saying: “It used to be placed right here. ”
Later, Zhu Yanshu stopped dancing with Yang Xuhe at some point, and the singing machine was moved to the house.
Yang Yuyan and Liao Er Liao San went to pick out records and found that Zhu Yanshu still liked to buy records, even American black music jazz had two. As soon as Liao Er saw it, he whispered in awe, “Mrs. Zhu really has a wide range of hobbies!” He also mysteriously asked Yang Yuyan if she had ever heard of it.
Of course Yang Yuyan hadn’t heard of it, she had been here for three years and had never turned on the record player.
Liao Er and Liao San then scowled, Yang Yu Yan life is most annoying to be treated as a fool, immediately face a cloudy, willow eyebrow raised: “Have something to say not to say, hold in the stomach hatching eggs?”
Liao Er was amused, was stabbed also not angry, said with a smile: “Not not to say to you, just that these words are not good to speak to the girls. The lyrics of this nigger music are all very …… out of the ordinary, we are not allowed to listen to it at home, they are all going out to secretly listen to it afterward, and the general dance halls do not dare to sing it.”
Liao San then whispered a section of lyrics, Yang Yuyan immediately understood, inside sex, smoke, alcohol, sexual innuendo, promiscuity innuendo a lot.
She rolled her eyes and laughed too, and didn’t say anything else.
Liao Er and Liao San felt that she was even more lovely, and said: “Look, it’s just that we’re familiar with you, so you’re not angry. If the adults knew about it, they would have to take off a layer of their skin.”
These two records definitely can’t be put away, and can’t be displayed here, it’s not good for other people to see and recognize them. Zhang Ma didn’t know before she took them out, so Yang Yuyan put these two away and put them back in Zhu Yanshu’s house. After she came out, singing was already resounding in the restaurant. Yang Yuyan didn’t know what singer was singing, but apparently everyone else in the house was familiar with it, all of them looked mesmerized, and Liao Er even sang along.
I don’t know whether it was the singing machine or Miss Yang who was more attractive, Liao Er and Liao San left with a great deal of reluctance, Mrs. Liao looked at Yang Yu Yan with a smile that made her hair stand on end, took her hand and said, “Good girl, come to my place to play in the future, there’s a pugilist in the house that was raised by the master, he can talk!”
When she took Liao Er Liao San away, it really looked like a mother’s kindness and filial piety.
Yang Yuyan thought of Liao Er Liao San, deeply feel like Mrs. Liao such a person, she met just want to run far away, do not want to go to her home to play.
The guests left, leaving a mess behind.
Zhang Ma was busy cleaning up, Yang Yuyan also helped to transport a few things before being driven away.
Zhang Ma was annoyed, “Don’t add to the mess! Go play on the side!”
Yang Yuyan still followed her, grunting, “My mom is talking to my sister, I don’t want to go over there.” Today, there were three uninvited blind date men, so they knew that the atmosphere of the conversation over there wouldn’t be too good.
Zhang Ma sniffed and hooked her head to look at the living room, seeing Zhu Yanshu and Yang Yucan sitting on the sofa over there, not too far away and not too close, it didn’t look like they were going to quarrel.
Zhang Ma said, “A family has a daughter and eight families are seeking, your sister is good looking and went to university, your mom is rich and the dowry will definitely not be small, today there are only three, in the future thirty may not be enough!”
Yang Yuyan leaned against the cabinet, “My mom said she didn’t have her eye on any of them. I don’t have my eye on any of them either.”
Zhang Ma got angry when she saw it, “The cabinet is so oily, if you lean on it, your clothes will be stained with oil! Don’t worry about your sister, you’re getting close. Aren’t two of them coming for you today?”
Yang Yuyan hurriedly jumped out of the way and said, “You mean Liao Er and Liao San, right? With Mrs. Liao around, not to mention these two, even the Liao family’s eldest son, there’s no way I’ll agree.”
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, “You can’t look at the Liao family’s eldest son, your mother can’t even look at him, once she saw him, she told me that the eldest son was born like a potato, you mother and daughter must be the same. On the contrary, these two small born, look good, may be all with mom.”
Yang Yuyan then laughed.
Yang Yucan brought over a tea tray, handed it to Zhang Ma and asked her, “What are you laughing at?”
Yang Yuyan asked if she had seen Mrs. Liao’s two sons.
Yang Yuchan: “I saw them. I heard that they were born to the youngest wife, and only took them back to raise them after the youngest wife died.”
Zhang Ma exclaimed, “Aigoo, can you go outside to talk? This kitchen is so small and full of oil, so if your clothes get dirty, it’s still my job. Get out!”
The two sisters were kicked out, but the conversation was still going on. Yang Yuyan said, “Liao Er told me that he went back to the Liao family only when he was in middle school, and once he went back, he was not allowed to go to school. Liao three is even worse, two or three years old was carried back, has never read a book, his little knowledge is all Liao two secretly taught. However, Mrs. Liao watched them like a bead on her eye, and took them with her wherever she went, and they just followed her to eat in the east and play cards in the west, and usually didn’t do anything.”
Yang Yucchan sighed: “What can be done about it? Director Liao doesn’t care either.”
Yang Yuyan whispered: “Liao Er said that Liao Da treats them well and usually gives them money quietly.”
Yang Yuchan: “He can’t be stronger than Mrs. Liao, otherwise these two wouldn’t be so old and still have nothing to do.”
Speaking of this, Yang Yucan remembered the matter of letting Yang Yuyan continue to go back to school. She carefully sized up Yang Yuyan and felt that she couldn’t let her know about this! She had to persuade Zhu Yanshu first, and then send Yang Yuyan there directly.
After making up her mind, Yang Yucan dragged Yang Yuyan back to her house as if nothing had happened, and asked her: “Right, where are your old textbooks? You go back and find it, wipe the dust, I’m going to use it when I give Wu Xiaoping a lesson. ”
Yang Yu Yan did not suspect any fraud, nodded her head and said, “I had guessed that she was going to use them, I have already found them all, they are all on the bookshelf.”
Yang Yucan then went to the bookshelf to rummage, one book on the table, asked, “Do you still read these books?”
Yang Yuyan shook her head, “I still used to read them when I hired a teacher, but then I stopped reading them when I followed Mr. Su, he always came up with his own questions for me to do.”
Yang Yuchan smiled and unscrewed the pen, “Then I’ll give you a question to do, let’s see how good Mr. Su is?”
How could Yang Yuyan disgrace Teacher Su? Tilting her head proudly, she said, “Go ahead and give me a question!”
Yang Yuchan then measured the difficulty of the textbook and gave Yang Yuyan a few simple questions, not wanting Yang Yuyan to easily answer them! Yang Yuchan was overjoyed! She wrote a few more difficult questions, even from her college textbook, because she guessed that Mr. Su would probably use his textbook to teach Yang Yuyan as well.
As a result, Yang Yuyan answered them all.
Yang Yuchan was overjoyed and took these sheets of paper and went to find Zhu Yanshu.
She said, “I think Yan Yan can go back to class! Look, she even answered my questions!”
Zhu Yanshu had also studied seriously under Master Zhu’s tutelage, and before Master Zhu passed away, she had not slacked off for a single day, and now she could easily solve the questions even after picking up a pen.
She looked at the topic once, and mentally calculated the answer once again, smiled and said, “Yan Yan’s knowledge is still quite solid well, Mr. Su’s teaching is also good.” She puts down the paper and agrees to Yang Yuchan’s suggestion after thinking for a moment, it is really because the Zhu family actually has a person who did not get a middle school diploma, that would be too embarrassing! In the past, she was concerned about Yang Yuyan’s body and didn’t dare to push her, but now that she looks much sturdier, she can be pushed as well.
Zhu Yanshu smiled and said, “I’ll pay a visit to the girls’ middle school after the New Year to see if I can get Yan Yan to go back to school.”
Yang Yucan carefully said, “Can’t let her know!”
Zhu Yan Shu nodded, “I know.”
On the third day of the lunar calendar, there were even more guests, and the ones who came early in the morning were all tenants, politely bringing snacks and bacon to the door, all hoping that Zhu Yanshu would not raise the rent next year.
Su Chunjun deliberately waited for everyone to leave before coming, knocking on the door, Zhang Ma said with a smile, “Mr. Su didn’t bring a piece of bacon up? ”
Su Chunjun went to touch his pocket and pretended to say, “Yo, I forgot it upstairs.”
Zhang Ma let him in and continued, “So you’ll bring it here tomorrow?”
Su Chunjun kept saying, “Tomorrow for sure, tomorrow for sure.”
Zhu Yanshu sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, “Forget it, Mrs. Zhang, we have enough bacon at home to last until next year, so don’t give Mr. Su a hard time.”
Su Chunjun: “I know that Zhang Ma is joking with me.”
Before Yang Yuyan came out, Zhu Yanshu took the opportunity to discuss with Su Chunjun about sending the second miss to school.
Su Chunjun immediately agreed strongly, “I’ve thought about this, it’s really because I’m working too much right now, I can’t be with second miss every day anymore, and it’s not appropriate to keep second miss bored at home all the time. The school is full of people of the same age, it’s better to let her get in touch.”
Zhu Yanshu said, “I’m worried that she won’t be able to keep up with her studies, I don’t know what her level is now.”
Su Chunjun was not polite, he taught Second Miss Yang really seriously, he had never taught anyone so seriously in his life.
He said, “To put it politely, Miss Yang is now at the level of Nanjing University.”
Zhu Yanshu couldn’t believe it under the surprise: “Really?”
Su Chunjun nodded, “It’s true, I don’t dare to deceive you. I originally thought that you were planning to send her to university, and the second young miss is very smart, I prepared more class content, she can finish.”
Zhu Yan Shu was so happy that she wanted to give Teacher Su a big red packet. This can really …… can really be out of her expectation!
In this instant, she finally believed that Su Chunjun was treating her daughter with sincerity, way back when he hadn’t fallen in love with her.
Such an upright and serious good man could not be spared!
“If Yan Yan really gets into university in the future, you will be a benefactor to my entire family.” Zhu Yanshu said.
Su Chunjun hurriedly waved his hand, “You are too polite, I am also single-mindedly looking forward to the good of second young miss.”
Zhu Yanshu said sincerely, “I believe in your heart. It is a blessing for us mother and daughter that a good person like you can be single-mindedly good to Yan Yan.”
Su Chunjun’s eyes steeply glowed, his face all joyful, still unable to believe that this is actually true.
Zhu Yanshu gently said, “Yan Yan is not yet eighteen, when she becomes an adult, if the two of you are able to fall in love, then I am also willing to bless you.”
Su Chunjun nodded his head in a hurry, and stood up again in a panic, at a loss for words, and bowed to Zhu Yanshu several times in a row, not even able to speak.
Zhu Yanshu hurriedly helped him up, and saw that his face was red with excitement, and his forehead was sweating.
Zhu Yanshu: “I won’t ask more about your family’s affairs, I believe you are a good boy. Just tell me later when you feel up to it.”
Su Chunjun’s brain that was about to boil calmed down all of a sudden, he thought for a moment and then nodded his head and said, “In fact, there is nothing that I can’t tell you, when I am free in the future, I will tell you in detail. You can rest assured, there is no unseemly scandalous thing, that is, there is, it is also the other person’s, it has nothing to do with me.”
Zhu Yanshu: “I am relieved when you say so. Then I’ll go and arrange for Yan Yan to go to school, it’s better to let her graduate from the girls’ middle school first, then consider university.”
Su Chunjun comes up with an idea: “She can go back to the girls’ middle school for a few months and take the graduation exam, with her level she doesn’t have to waste any more time in the girls’ middle school, follow that and apply to the university, I can write a letter of recommendation for her, that way in about half a year, she can be studying at the university.”
Yang Yuyan yawned and pushed open the door, seeing Zhu Yanshu and Mr. Su standing in the living room talking, the two of them were still polite to each other, puzzled and walked over, “Why don’t you sit down? Have to stand and talk?”
Zhu Yanshu and Su Chunjun look at her together, both silently shaking their heads, “Nothing.”
