Chapter 65 Divorce
Not long after, Lin Nianyin heard Cen Shuyao from afar suddenly became furious and shouted: "They are dreaming! Li Mengyao, what do you mean? You came here specifically to make trouble for our family, right?"
Lin Nianyin hurriedly walked outside and took a look, and saw Aunt Li trying to grab Cen Shuyao's arm, but Cen Shuyao threw her away time and time again.
Aunt Li said helplessly: "My dear Doctor Cen, why do you get more and more grumpy as you get older? I haven't finished what I said yet?"
Cen Shuyao shook off Aunt Li's hand angrily and said, "What else do you want to say?"
Aunt Li sighed and started to hold Cen Shuyao again. She didn't know what she was muttering under her breath. While talking, she kept looking into the room.
Not long after, Cen Shuyao and Aunt Li separated.
Everyone goes back to their homes.
As soon as Cen Shuyao entered the room, she kept frowning and sighing.
Lin Nianyin patted the little girl who was doing her homework on the table and motioned her to take a look at Cen Shuyao.
The little girl understood immediately, slid down from the chair, ran to the kitchen and took out two apples, and squeezed into Cen Shuyao's arms.
"Grandma, eat the apple." The little girl handed the apple to Cen Shuyao's eyes.
Cen Shuyao lowered his head and raised his hand to knock the little girl on the head, "You want grandma to peel it for you?"
The little girl smiled and nestled in Cen Shuyao's arms and said, "Grandma will have one, and my brother and I will share one."
Cen Shuyao said, "Okay, grandma will peel it for you and then cut it for you."
When Cen Shuyao had peeled the apple cleanly and was about to cut it in half for the little girl and the others, the little girl held the apple up to Cen Shuyao's mouth and said, "Grandma, eat it first."
Cen Shuyao smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't want to eat it. You and your brother should eat it first."
The little girl shook her head, "Grandma should eat first."
Cen Shuyao could only nod, "Okay, I'll cut another one for you."
A few minutes later, Cen Shuyao peeled the second apple and put the two halves into the little girl's hands.
The little girl took half and put the other half away, "I'll eat this half when my brother comes back."
Cen Shuyao said: "Actually, you can also eat one. There are plenty of apples at home. When your brother comes back, there will be more."
The little girl wanted to vomit, "That's different."
Then, the little girl touched the apple in her hand to Cen Shuyao's apple and said, "Grandma, let's make apples!"
Cen Shuyao: "..."
"You!" Cen Shuyao smiled and hugged the little girl, "How come I've only heard of cheers, but not of dried apples!"
"Isn't it here now!" The little girl touched Cen Shuyao's with her apple again, took a bite, and said in a choked voice, "Grandma, we've made apples, you want to eat them!"
"Okay, okay, grandma, eat it!" Cen Shuyao couldn't help the little girl, so she cooperated and took a bite.
When the grandmother and granddaughter finished the apples laughing and laughing, the little girl took Cen Shuyao's hand again and said, "Grandma, wash my hands and face."
Cen Shuyao stood up and held the little girl's hand and said, "Let's go, grandma will take you there."
When she got to the bathroom, the little girl washed her hands, leaned against Cen Shuyao and looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Grandma, are you a little happier now?"
Cen Shuyao was stunned for a moment, looked up at the little girl in the mirror in surprise and said, "Xiaoxiao knows grandma is unhappy?"
The little girl nodded, "I heard grandma was angry. Mom said that eating sweet things will make our bodies secrete...pamine, which will make us happy, so I brought grandma an apple. It's sweet and delicious. Got it!"
Cen Shuyao's expression changed slightly, and then he helped the little girl dry her hands and said with dignity: "Grandma is not angry anymore. Did grandma just scare you?"
The little girl shook her head, "I don't have one, I'm very brave!"
After saying that, the little girl asked again: "Grandma, why are you angry?"
Cen Shuyao led the little girl out and said, "This is a matter for adults. You are still young, so don't ask, okay?"
The little girl sighed, "I understand. It's a secret that children can't understand. You can only know it when you grow up, right?"
Cen Shuyao smiled, "That's it."
The little girl said "Hey", "Forget it, I'd better go back and do my homework."
Lin Nianyin waited until Cen Shuyao came out, then smiled and said, "It seems that Xiaoxiao has coaxed you well."
Cen Shuyao nodded at Lin Nianyin in the air, "You."
Lin Nianyin asked: "Mom, what did Aunt Li say when she came over to make you so angry?"
Cen Shuyao shook his head and said, "It's not the Su family's business."
"What's wrong?" Lin Nianyin frowned.
Cen Shuyao said: "What else could it be? Now that we have been rehabilitated, the thigh that their family used to hug is now broken. Doesn't this remind them of our family again?"
"Are they still thinking about Su Su?" Lin Nianyin said: "During this period, my eldest brother and I basically went to pick up the two children. The school also specifically asked them not to let strangers approach them. If you can’t even get in, what else can you think of?”
Cen Shuyao sneered: "I bet you can't even think of it!"
"An idea that can make you so angry..." Lin Nianyin frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly the scene she saw on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month last year suddenly appeared in her mind.
Lin Nianyin suddenly said: "Could it be that they have their mind set on my eldest brother?"
"How do you know?" As he spoke, Cen Shuyao shook her head and sighed: "No, you are not familiar with them at all. It is impossible to know. Then how did you guess it?
Lin Nianyin said: "Didn't they come here once last year on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month? There were three of them. In addition to the two older ones, there was also a young woman. They were all dressed fashionably and put on makeup. , when we meet, we call our eldest brother 'Brother Haiyan'. I thought this was their name at first, but now that I heard you say it, I feel something is wrong, so I made a bold guess."
Besides, with the advanced information technology in later generations, any weird thing can spread thousands of miles and become a hot topic.
Now that my sister is gone, it's not a new idea for my sister-in-law to want to take over.
Cen Shuyao said: "Isn't that right? That's what Lao Li came here to tell me just now!"
"Lao Li said that someone from the Su family had found her head and wanted her to help intercede. He said that the eldest daughter-in-law had been gone for so many years, and the eldest son had been single. This was not an option. Besides, there was Su Su to take care of. I have to marry another one..."
Cen Shuyao said with a look of disdain on her face, "They also said that marrying a woman from outside is not as good as their own family. They said that Jinyu is the woman you said you met on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. She said she was Su Su's aunt. , Jin Xi’s sister, she is a relative in the first place, so for Su Jinyu to marry the eldest brother, she is a close relative, and she also said that they happen to be relatives, and they will definitely treat Su Su well in the future, but this makes me angry!"
Lin Nianyin was also speechless for a moment.
Based on the family's previous virtues, it's not surprising that they would do something like this.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Has something happened to their family recently? Otherwise, how could they come up with such an idea?"
Cen Shuyao shook his head and said, "Who knows? I get a headache whenever I hear news about their family, and I don't even bother to pay attention."
Lin Nianyin said, "Then I'll have to talk to dad and brother later."
Cen Shuyao nodded.
Lin Nianyin thought for a while and then said: "By the way, Aunt Li came here to talk about this matter? Is she interceding with the Su family?"
Although Lin Nianyin has not been here for a long time, she can still see that the feelings between the people in this compound are good.
That Aunt Li often goes out with Cen Shuyao, so she wouldn't do such a thing, right?
Cen Shuyao shook her head, "At first, I thought she came here to talk to the Su family, and I was angry, but later I realized that wasn't the case."
"What else is there?" Lin Nianyin asked.
Cen Shuyao frowned and said: "Lao Li said that although the idea from the Su family was bad, the boss has indeed been single. He is not yet forty and cannot stay like this for the rest of his life. He should think about finding another one. I am not worried. What about this matter?"
Lin Nianyin subconsciously thought of her stepmother.
As the saying goes, if a stepmother has a stepfather, although she has an exemplary stepmother like Su Yingxiu, Su Yingxiu is an exception after all, and most stepmothers will not be kind to the children in front of them.
And it may be a bit unreasonable to think of Cen Haiyan like this, but after all, Cen Wangsu has been with her for several years, and Lin Nianyin really can't bear to let Cen Wangsu suffer at the hands of her stepmother in the future.
But then I thought about it, and it was normal for both Aunt Li and Cen Shuyao to think about it now.
Cen Haiyan is not yet forty. If he is not the kind of person who plans to be single for the rest of his life, then it would be a shame to let someone stay single for the sake of their children.
After thinking for a while, Lin Nianyin said: "This matter is still my eldest brother's own business. He should make his own decision."
Cen Shuyao shook her head, "Forget it, just follow what you said. I'll talk to the boss later and see what he thinks."
In the afternoon, Cen Haiyan came back with Cen Wangsu.
Cen Shuyao looked over and said, "You're back. Have you seen Jin Xi?"
Cen Haiyan nodded, "I've seen it."
Cen Shuyao looked at Cen Wangsu again, beckoned and said, "Su Su, come to grandma."
Cen Wangsu walked over and raised his head, "Grandma."
Cen Shuyao touched Cen Wangsu's head and said, "Susu, are you tired?"
Cen Wangsu shook his head, "Grandma, I'm not tired."
Cen Shuyao said: "Nonsense, I've been out for almost a day, how can I not be tired, go and have a rest."
Cen Wangsu smiled, held Cen Shuyao's hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry about me. I just went to visit my mother's grave. If you're tired, it's okay."
Cen Shuyao nodded Cen Wangsu's forehead, "How come you are always so smart, kid?"
Cen Wangsu smiled sheepishly.
The little girl rushed in at this time, handed half a yellowed apple to Cen Wangsu and said, "Brother, I left the apple for you."
Cen Wangsu spread his hands and looked at them, "Wait while I go wash my hands."
-
After dinner, Ji Zhoutong came back.
After the two children went to bed, Cen Shuyao talked to Cen Haiyan and Ji Zhoutong about what happened during the day.
Cen Haiyan immediately sneered: "What Su Jinyu, he wants to daydream again!"
Cen Shuyao said: "Yin Yin said during the day that they were suddenly like this. Did something happen at home?"
Ji Zhoutong said: "Qian Donkey's skills are limited. Their family has done a lot of things over the years, and they have recently started to be liquidate. Maybe they heard some rumors, so they are trying to think of a way. I guess they are not the only ones they are looking for."
Cen Shuyao sneered, "Is it possible that their family still wants to have a daughter named Xu Baijia?"
Ji Zhoutong shook his head, "Don't worry about it. Their family will only be able to live happily for this period of time. Once the liquidation is over, their family will no longer be happy."
Cen Shuyao said: "Okay, let's not talk about the Su family's matter for now, let's talk about another thing."
"What else?" Ji Zhoutong asked immediately.
Cen Shuyao looked at Cen Haiyan, and then said: "It's about the boss. When Lao Li told me about the Su family today, she mentioned the boss's thing by the way. I heard her tone, and she wanted to introduce it."
Ji Zhoutong looked at Cen Haiyan, "Boss, what do you think? This is your business after all. As parents, no matter what we do, we cannot impose our own ideas on you. Everything is still based on your own wishes. .”
It was really inconvenient for Lin Nianyin to be here at this time, so she left as soon as Cen Shuyao spoke.
l
But she also wanted to know Cen Haiyan's attitude, so she kept walking slowly on purpose.
When she was about to enter, Lin Nianyin heard Cen Haiyan say: "I have no plans to marry again for the time being. Dad, Mom, if anyone talks about this later, please help me get back."
Ji Zhoutong and Cen Shuyao looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Nianyin closed the door.
I felt relieved to be honest in my heart.
She is also a normal person with her own little thoughts.
Compared with Cen Wangsu, Cen Haiyan is naturally not that important to her.
A few days later, Aunt Li came over again. The topic of course was to tell Cen Haiyan about getting married.
Cen Shuyao naturally refused.
Aunt Li didn't understand why and said, "What's wrong? Do you think it's bad for you to dislike the person I introduced to you?"
"Let me tell you, we have known each other for decades, and I will not harm you." Aunt Li took Cen Shuyao's hand and said, "Is the girl I introduced to your Haiyan the child of a colleague in our unit, or As a married woman, you know what has been going on over the years.
"In 1966, this girl was twenty years old, which was the right age for marriage, but unfortunately she had to go to the countryside. She had been away from the countryside for more than ten years, and she never got married in the countryside. She just came back at the end of last year. , she is thirty-two this year, and their family was also worried about her marriage, so they asked us to inquire. Then I thought, your Haiyan is just right, so I asked them if they would like to get married to a man that have a child and marrying for the second time. If you are willing, they asked about the age of the child, as well as Haiyan’s character and work, and said it was no problem, that’s fine, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to ask you, it’s really suitable!”
Cen Shuyao shook his head, "It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not. I've asked our boss. He doesn't have that intention now. Forget it, don't bother."
Aunt Li frowned, "Why, your Haiyan doesn't want to get married yet. Does he plan to stay single for the rest of his life?"
Cen Shuyao said: "I can't say for sure, but the boss really has no plans to get married now. You'd better not worry about it. It won't be good if the girls think that our family is deliberately leaving them alone. You should hurry up and give it to them." Come back, ah!"
"You..." Aunt Li sighed, "I don't understand what's going on with you. Haiyan is your son after all. Why don't you care at all about your son's future?"
"Why don't I care?" Cen Shuyao couldn't laugh or cry.
Aunt Li clapped her hands and said, "You still say you are interested. If you are interested, can you think about Haiyan's future? He is a man in his thirties, and he has been single all this time. Now he is young, strong, able to run and move, What if he waits until he gets old, have you ever thought about what he will do?"
"Isn't there Su Su?" Cen Shuyao said, "He has such an old son right there. He shouldn't be able to lose. Really, don't worry about it!"
Aunt Li could only sigh when she saw that she could not be persuaded.
A few days later, Aunt Li came over and said, "Your Haiyan really doesn't have any plans, right?"
Cen Shuyao shook his head, "I really don't plan to."
Aunt Li sighed and left again.
In the following period, some people came over to propose marriage to Cen Haiyan, but they were all rejected.
When the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Aunt Li came over with soaked glutinous rice and Ruo leaves. While making rice dumplings, she said to Cen Shuyao: "Let me tell you, the girl I told you about last time has passed. I’m getting married on Dragon Boat Festival!”
Cen Shuyao smiled and said, "That's a good thing. Did you make it happen?"
Aunt Li nodded, "That's not me. You guys don't know how to cherish it. The first thing I thought about was your family."
Cen Shuyao didn't take it seriously.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Nianyin originally planned to go over and deliver rice dumplings to Wei Mingchuan.
By the way, I plan to accompany him.
Unexpectedly, Wei Mingchuan came back and said that their previous stage of training had come to an end temporarily and they just took advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to take two days off.
The family stayed together for a few days.
The happiest among them are the two children.
When Wei Mingchuan's vacation was over, he left again.
The summer vacation of 1978 was coming soon, so Lin Nianyin simply took half of the children to stay in the compound and the other half to accompany Wei Mingchuan.
In the second half of the year, various trends became more and more relaxed.
There are even many private transactions that no one takes care of.
By December, the wind of reform was blowing instantly.
Later, when Lin Nianyin went to Wei Mingchuan, she was pulled by Tian Guihua and said: "Teacher Lin, I didn't expect that what you said is true. Now we can really do business. Tell me what I can do. Please help me quickly." I have an idea."
Lin Nianyin thought for a moment and said, "Then it depends on what you are good at?"
"In these years, our country has always been a planned economy, and supply exceeds demand. If you do business now, no matter what it is, you should be able to make a profit without losing money. But the key lies in what you know. People can only perform in the fields they are good at. .”
Tian Guihua scratched her scalp and said: "I...I have been able to boil brown sugar for many years, and I can also make some clothes, shoes, and cook. Is this okay?"
Lin Nianyin nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to open a restaurant, you not only have to be able to cook, but you also have to cook delicious food. Otherwise, why would others buy yours instead of others?"
"Not only that, you also have to consider where to open the restaurant, what the price will be, what kind of dishes will satisfy the guests, and how you can make money yourself, etc..."
"So, that's a lot to ask for?" Tian Guihua said.
Lin Nianyin nodded, "There should be more."
Tian Guihua asked again: "What else is there?"
Lin Nianyin smiled and said: "If you ask me, I don't know. After all, I have never opened a store."
Su Yingxiu said at this time: "I plan to go to Shenzhen after the New Year."
Lin Nianyin was not surprised that Su Yingxiu had such thoughts, but she didn't expect her to be so anxious.
Lin Nianyin thought for a moment and said, "What are you going to do there?"
Su Yingxiu said: "Clothing business."
Lin Nianyin glanced at Su Yingxiu's house, "Have you... discussed it with Yang Duozhi and the others?"
Su Yingxiu said "hmm".
Only then did Tian Guihua react and asked, "What did you say? Where are you going?"
Su Yingxiu showed a rare good temper and said: "Shenzhen is the circle that was just drawn."
"It's in the far south, right? I heard it's close to the sea!" Tian Guihua had heard Meng Chengyi talk about opening up before, and specifically asked about the location of Shenzhen.
Su Yingxiu said: "That side is opening up now and has the most opportunities, so of course we have to go there."
Tian Guihua: "Are you alone?"
Su Yingxiu nodded, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Tian Guihua and said, "What, how about you come with me?"
Tian Guihua waved her hands quickly, "I'd better forget it."
After the New Year and the fifteenth day, the new year begins to get busy.
One day in March, Cen Wangsu received a phone call.
That night, Cen Wangsu found Lin Nianyin and whispered, "Auntie, Yaya called me."
Lin Nianyin immediately thought of what Su Yingxiu said about leaving, so she nodded and said, "What's the matter? Her mother went out to do business?"
Cen Wangsu shook his head, "Yaya said her parents were getting divorced, and she cried so sadly on the phone."
Lin Nianyin: "Divorce?"
Cen Wangsu nodded.
Lin Nianyin frowned.
The last time I saw Su Yingxiu, she was quite normal.
However, she didn't ask too much last time. Maybe Su Yingxiu had already decided at that time.
Lin Nianyin asked: "Besides saying this, does Yaya have anything else to say?"
Cen Wangsu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I just said divorce and kept crying."
After a pause, Cen Wangsu said: "Aunt, I promised to go over to see Yaya, but I have to go to class tomorrow."
Lin Nianyin thought for a while and then said: "In order to make you keep your promise, I will ask for leave for you tomorrow and accompany you there. It's okay."
Cen Wangsu nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."
