The third uncle's house, "Lao Yan, why do I feel that Lao Yi can't speak as well as before." The third aunt said. The third aunt's words were like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment, and the third uncle fell silent. His eyes were a little confused, as if he was recalling his past interactions with Lao Yi.
Uncle Yan was sitting on the edge of the kang, his brows furrowed, deep in thought. The dry tobacco bag in his hand had not been lit for a long time, and the familiar scent of tobacco also disappeared in the air. Uncle Yan is usually a man of few words, but every time he opens his mouth, people can always feel his majesty and wisdom. Today, he seemed a little confused.
"Lao Yan, what's wrong with you?" The third aunt asked from the side, she could see something was wrong with the third uncle. The third aunt is the wife of the third uncle. The two have gone through ups and downs for decades and have already formed a tacit understanding.
The third uncle raised his head, looked at the third aunt, and spoke slowly: "Dongxu's people are gone, and Shazhu has married again. Every time Shazhu wants to hit someone, his wife Yu Li pulls him back. He no longer has the previous shock. Lao Yi suddenly lost two die-hard supporters, so his words will naturally not be as effective as before."
After hearing this, the third aunt understood. Dongxu's death and Shazhu's change did have a big impact on the yard. Lao Yi lost two staunch supporters, and his voice naturally weakened.
"Lao Yan, this is life, people will change, and things will also change." The third aunt said softly.
"Hey, if the courtyard is going to be unstable, Lao Yi will definitely have to find another old man. Dongxu is dead, and Silly Zhu was married before that. Lao Yi is really having a bad time." The third uncle shook his head and said, Just like the reincarnation of a tortoise prime minister.
"Then it will be difficult for Lao Yi in the future. There seems to be no suitable candidate in our yard. In fact, Shazhu is quite suitable. His wife is also pretty good. I don't know why Lao Yi just doesn't like her." The third aunt couldn't understand Yi Zhonghai's operation.
"What Lao Yi needs most now is someone he can trust and is willing to listen to him. Although Yu Li is good, she has her own opinions and will not act completely according to Lao Yi's wishes. Silly Zhu is also afraid of his wife. Silly Zhu was controlled by Yu Li. Silly Zhu was so old, he finally got a beautiful daughter-in-law, so he still had to coax her. Now that she was pregnant with Silly Zhu’s child, Silly Zhu couldn’t treat her as an ancestor. stand up."
The third aunt smiled softly, she understood what the third uncle meant. "You are right. Silly Zhu now has a wife and children, and his thoughts must be on them. As for Lao Yi, he may not be as concerned as before."
The third uncle nodded. He looked at the third aunt, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "This is life. Silly Zhu has his own home, and his world is no longer just a courtyard."
Qin Huairu's premature birth made Su Wen a little flustered. He was worried that something might happen to Wang Qianqian. There were not many good people living in the courtyard.
Su Wen stood in front of the door of his house, his eyes wandering around, trying to pry out the many secrets hidden in the darkness through the deep night. The panic in his heart has not completely calmed down. He knows that everyone in this courtyard has their own story and purpose.
Xu Damao's house was not far away, with bright lights and bursts of laughter. That kind of chic and comfortable attitude towards life made Su Wen feel a little bit envious. He couldn't help but think of his situation with Wang Qianqian. Compared with Xu Damao's comfort, their lives seemed full of unknowns and variables.
He shook his head, trying to get these thoughts out of his mind. Now is not the time to feel sorry for himself. He needs to stay awake and calm, for Wang Qianqian and their future life.
He raised his head and looked at the sky again. The bright moon seemed to be brighter, and the cold light shone on his body, making him feel a little bit chilly. He suddenly remembered a poem: "The moon waxes and wanes, and people have their joys and sorrows." Isn't everyone in the courtyard experiencing their own joys and sorrows? "
Just as he was deep in thought, a slight sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the courtyard. He turned his head and saw Wang Qianqian walking slowly. The moonlight shone on her body, covering her with a silver coat, making her look like a fairy under the moon.
"Su Wen, what are you thinking about?" Wang Qianqian asked softly. Her voice echoed in the night sky, making people feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
Su Wen smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something." He didn't want his worries to affect Wang Qianqian, so he didn't mention Qin Huairu's premature birth, the complicated interpersonal relationships in the courtyard, or his own worries. .
Wang Qianqian approached Su Wen gently, and he could feel the faint fragrance on her body, like the fragrance of flowers in the night wind, which made people feel peaceful. She stretched out her hand and gently held Su Wen's hand. The warm touch made Su Wen's panic instantly dissipate.
"Su Wen, I know you have something on your mind." Wang Qianqian's voice was soft but firm, "Although we have not experienced too many storms, I believe that no matter what difficulties we may encounter in the future, as long as we trust each other and walk hand in hand, we will be able to overcome Can overcome it.”
Su Wen looked at Wang Qianqian's bright eyes and felt a warm current in his heart. He found that Wang Qianqian was a smart and sensitive woman who could always understand his heart.
He took a deep breath and decided to tell her his concerns. "Qianqian, I'm worried about you." He said frankly, "Qin Huairu's premature birth made me realize that this courtyard is not so safe. I'm worried that you will be hurt."
After hearing this, Wang Qianqian did not show any panic or uneasiness. Instead, she looked at Su Wen calmly and said, "Su Wen, thank you for your honesty. I also know that you are worried about me, but I want to tell you that I am not afraid." Her words made Su Wen feel an inexplicable power. He looked at her firm eyes, and the worry in his heart seemed to lighten a lot.
He held her hand tightly and said: "Qianqian, I will definitely take good care of you. Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown to pick up my mother and let her take care of you in the yard. Xiaoya and I have to go to work, so you can I don’t feel comfortable being alone in the yard.”
After hearing this, Wang Qianqian's eyes flashed with emotion. She knew that Su Wen did this entirely for her safety. In this seemingly peaceful courtyard, there are too many unknowns and variables hidden. My mother-in-law is an experienced old man. Her arrival will undoubtedly bring more peace and warmth to the family.
"Awen, thank you." Wang Qianqian said softly.
Su Wen gently patted Wang Qianqian's hand and said with a smile: "Qianqian, you're welcome. We are husband and wife, and this is what I should do. As long as you are safe, I will feel relieved."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tension and worry in their hearts disappeared at this moment.
