1987 My Era

Chapter 118, Who says I have bad taste? My man is the best in the world (Please subscribe!)
The two of them seemed to be in a vast ocean. The wind started to blow and heavy rain began to fall from the sea. The strong winds created waves dozens of meters high, which pressed violently from all directions, making the whole bed shake as if it was about to fall apart.

The whistling sea breeze lasted for a long time, and I don't know when the thunder and lightning started. The "boom boom boom" sound was incessant, like a symphony, the music was swirling and rising, and it became louder and louder as it went on. When it reached the climax of the concert, the whole audience stood up and applauded warmly. The applause lasted for a long time, like a turbulent torrent in a river, rushing thousands of miles, and finally converging into the ocean with the storm, so refreshing and thorough.

Doing happy things with your lover is always a pleasure. Li Heng hugged Chen Zijin in his arms and lowered his head to smell the fragrance of her hair:

"It's almost time for dinner, are you hungry?"

"Has it been so long?" Chen Zijin was surprised.

Li Heng laughed and said, "What does this prove about me?"

Chen Zijin stared at him with a smile, her face flushed.

Just when Li Heng's scalp was tingling and his right hand reached out involuntarily, she held his hand and said, "Tell me about your experience of writing "To Live"."

Seeing her serious expression, Li Heng stopped joking and said, "This is a long story, but it's mainly for you, to narrow the gap between us."

Chen Zijin agreed, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and continued to listen.

Li Heng recalled: "A lot of things happened to our two families over the years. My old father lost his job due to persecution and his health also deteriorated.

And your grandfather and Dad Li successively became ordinary and soared into the sky again.

Originally, I didn't care much about these things, and didn't realize what this huge gap would mean. It wasn't until last summer vacation when your aunt and her friends gave me a vivid lesson that I suddenly realized that I should do something and work hard to improve myself so that I could impress your family.

And I am just a student now, what earth-shaking thing can I do?

By chance, I suddenly got inspiration from the newspaper and thought about writing.

As you know, I have always loved reading over the years. I read a lot of books to avoid work and read a lot. When I had the idea of ​​writing a book, I couldn't stop myself. So I wrote "To Live" day and night. You know what happened next."

Listening to his story, Chen Zijin's eyes softened and finally filled with tears.

She considered herself to be considerate and confident that she was a strong person who could stick to this love for the rest of her life. However, she did not expect that he would go through so much hardship and be under such great psychological pressure just after she left Shangwan Village and came to Beijing.

When she was in the village before, she had experienced rumors from all sides, which made her afraid to go out and almost suffocated her. However, she still underestimated the great psychological pressure that her mother and aunts had brought to her lover because of this incident.

Although what he said just now was very simple, and his tone was neither light nor heavy, as if he was explaining the origin of something lightly, Chen Zijin could still imagine the inhuman torture he had endured during this period from these few words.

Is it depressing every day?
When she thought about how he mustered up his energy every day, how he was tortured by rumors and pressure from his family and couldn't sleep in the dormitory every day, but he still had to cheer up and be strong, just to narrow the gap with his family, just to see her, Chen Zijin felt very flustered and distressed.

"Don't be so desperate next time. I'm your woman, I won't run away."

Chen Zijin raised his head slightly again and kissed him on the cheek twice with emotion.

Li Heng smiled and said, "I was young and full of energy and wanted to save face. Fortunately, God blessed me and made my novel "To Live" a hit."

Thinking of the huge success of the novel "To Live", Chen Zijin looked at Li Heng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

She said happily: "Dad and grandpa have read your novel and praised it for being well written. Grandpa doesn't praise people easily. He read your book twice."

This incident made her extremely proud and proud, and it also directly reversed the bad impression of Li Heng in the Chen family.

In the past, whenever the Chen family's aunt and sister-in-law talked about Li Heng, they would grit their teeth and criticize him more and more harshly.

Now, every time when talking about Li Heng, the Chen family would suddenly fall silent, and then someone would start to change the subject, and the atmosphere would gradually get better.

She asked with concern: "Did you encounter any difficulties in writing?"

Li Heng shook his head: "It's not bad. With the prototype of the second uncle, it's going well."

Next, Li Heng recounted his creative experience and sources of inspiration in detail, which made Chen Zijin's blood boil, as if he had witnessed the rise and birth of a great event.

This made her feel incredible and magical.

To be honest, if the novel "To Live" had not been written by her man, if it did not really exist, she would still feel like she was living in a dream.

It's not that she looked down on her man or doubted him, but she was just being too dreamy.

Originally, she had prepared herself for a long-term struggle with her family, and her best expectation was that he would be assigned a good job after graduating from university and would have enough money to marry her.

Let's not even talk about the worst-case scenario: that is to burn her bridges, marry him secretly and have children despite her family's opposition, and make the matter a fait accompli.

To her surprise and surprise, she didn't expect happiness to come so quickly.

Thinking of his current success and how he had come thousands of miles to see him, Chen Zijin felt that it was all worth it.

She felt that the grievances she had suffered at home in the past year were nothing at all. This was called bitterness before sweetness, which would only make her cherish this hard-earned relationship even more.

Others and her family all thought that she was deceived into bed by Li Heng's sweet talk. Only she knew that she really liked this man.

In the blink of an eye, the two have been in love for 6 years. They were forced to separate for a year last year. Thinking back on the past, Chen Zijin's nose couldn't help but feel sore.

She suddenly buried her head in Li Heng's arms. At first he thought that his woman couldn't suppress her happiness, but when he felt the wet tears on his chest, he realized something was wrong.

Li Heng held up her beautiful face with tears in his eyes with both hands and said lovingly:

"Why are you still crying? Aren't the sufferings over? Our future life will definitely be better than now, and it will get better day by day."

Tears were still falling, but Chen Zijin smiled and said, "How could I cry? I was just excited.

From now on, no one dares to say that I have a bad eye for men. My man is the best in the world."

Li Heng was silent. He looked at her for a long time, then lowered his head and kissed away all her tears. He whispered in her ear:

"My wife really has good taste. She is the best! Great!"

Sensing his impatience, Chen Zijin was frightened, "No, it's the third time, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Since it was not too late, after playing around for a while, the two took a shower, dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

Li Heng said: "The English teacher and the heartless are also in Beijing, let's go and invite them to have dinner together."

"Okay, I'll treat you to this meal, and you can't snatch it from me. I have to thank them very much for their help." Chen Zijin said, holding his hand.

The English teacher provided great convenience for his writing, and the fool often spent one person's money on two people and accompanied them to Beijing. Naturally, Chen Zijin wanted to thank them both.

Li Heng knew what she meant, and promised that he would not compete with her for the bill this time.

The result was that I knocked on the door of the next room, but the English teacher was not there.

I knocked on Zhang Zhiyong's room, but there was still no response.

Chen Zijin asked in confusion: "Where did they go? Have they not come back yet?"

Li Heng nodded: "It's possible if we go to Renmin University."

Chen Zijin asked: "Why don't we wait a little longer? Wait until they are together."

Li Heng glanced at his electronic watch.

The time is 5:41.

He said, "No, it's already dinner time. If he hasn't come back yet, then he definitely won't be back so soon."

What is the reason?
Of course, it is to provide a convenient space for the two people on a date, so as not to disturb them. Chen Zijin also thought of this, his face was slightly flushed, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Then let's go, I know a restaurant that will definitely suit your taste."

Li Heng asked: "Hunan cuisine?"

Chen Zijin said: "It's not Hunan cuisine, but a modified version of Sichuan cuisine. The boss and his wife are from Zigong and they cook very well. Sometimes when my mother and sister-in-law don't want to cook, the whole family will go there to eat together."

Hearing that there was something delicious, foodie Li Heng couldn't sit still and asked quickly, "Is it far from here?"

Chen Zijin said, "It's not very far. Just walk to the right. It's about 8 minutes."

Li Heng looked at the bicycles coming and going on the main road and said with emotion: "It's really not far. If only we had a bicycle, it would probably be faster."

Chen Zijin said, "I have one at home. I'll ride it out tomorrow."

It was only a seven-minute journey, but the two of them chatted and laughed and it didn’t take them long, and they soon arrived.

"Zijin is here."

The proprietress who was in charge of entertaining the guests seemed to know Chen Zijin, and she walked over enthusiastically when she saw the two of them appear.

"Sister Wu, is there any quieter seat?" Chen Zijin asked with a smile.

The proprietress glanced at Li Heng and said, "Yes, follow me."

Taking the two to a private room, the other party asked tentatively: "Is this your friend?"

Chen Zijin smiled and shook his head, "No, it's my boyfriend."

The lady boss was familiar with the Chen family and probably knew the power of the Chen family. She was surprised and asked, "You have a partner so soon?"

Chen Zijin nodded shyly, "Yes, we are from the same place, and we are engaged."

Hearing this, the lady boss looked at Li Heng carefully and asked him politely and enviously, "What a blessing! What's your name?"

Li Heng said, "Sister Wu, just call me Li Heng."

Sister Wu said generously: "Li Heng, welcome to Beijing. Today's meal is my treat. You can order whatever you want."

Li Heng did not respond, but smiled and watched Chen Zijin chatting and laughing with the other party.

After a while, the restaurant’s signature dish, Zigong Three Tenders, was served, a dish that goes well with rice, consisting of pork liver, kidney and tripe stir-fried together.

Just one bite and I feel that this trip was worthwhile.

Li Heng ate three bites in a row and exclaimed, "It's delicious, really good! We can't keep it so delicious. Tomorrow, we have to bring our English teacher and the fool to try it."

"Yeah." Seeing that he really liked the food, Chen Zijin felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey. While eating himself, he did not forget to pick up some food for him.

In the middle of the meal, Li Heng asked, "Is your family at home resting this weekend?"

Chen Zijin nodded and shook her head: "Mom and aunt are resting, Dad and Grandpa are busy and not at home. They will be back in the evening."

Li Heng asked: "Are you going back tonight?"

Chen Zijin thought for a moment and nodded, "Go back."

After seeing her lover, the message she wanted to convey was probably conveyed, and she still had to go home.

Because no matter who you are, in matters of love and marriage, in the end, you all hope to get the blessing of your family.

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "After dinner, accompany me to buy some gifts for your grandfather. You can't come to the capital empty-handed. Please bring them back for me."

Hearing this, Chen Zijin felt somewhat happy, but also somewhat mixed.

As smart as she was, she immediately understood Li Heng's thoughts. He probably still remembered the grudge against his mother and sister-in-law.

Buying things for grandpa is for your own face, and it also shows the polite attitude that a younger generation should have.

The meaning of not buying things for mom and not going home is clear enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Zijin suddenly felt a little sad, looked up and asked anxiously: "Uncle and aunt don't like me?"

The uncle and aunt she mentioned refers to Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e.

She was neither stupid nor deaf, so she naturally understood what excessive things her mother and several aunts had done to Aunt Tian last summer.

Although she was not at the scene at the time, she had heard and guessed about many things over the past year. In particular, her younger sister, who secretly listened to the scene, later told her everything, so she had a big quarrel with Zhong Lan.

Li Heng saw the worry in her eyes, reached out and held her hand and said, "No, don't worry. My parents are very supportive of my coming to Beijing. My mother also asked me to bring you a message."

Chen Zijin's eyes lit up: "Do you really support me coming?"

Li Heng said: "Of course, you are my wife, how can I lie to you?
If they didn’t support me, would I be able to come here so quickly?”

Chen Zijin leaned forward slightly: "What does Auntie want you to say?"

Li Heng stopped picking up the food and said seriously: "Mom said that our Li family has let you down and owes you an apology. I hope you can forgive me."

Chen Zijin was silent for a long time. After a while, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of food for him and said, "I am also half a member of the Li family now. You don't need to apologize. Uncle, aunt and you don't owe me anything."

Li Heng said happily, "Okay, when I get back, I will tell my mother every word without missing a word. Let her be happy and learn what a sensible daughter-in-law is and what a generous daughter-in-law is."

Chen Zijin rolled her eyes at him in reproach and happily continued to serve him by picking up food and pouring water.

"Don't worry about me, eat too."

"Ah."

"If you don't eat anymore, I won't eat either. It's so boring to eat alone."

"I like watching you eat. Besides, this is your first time in Beijing, so I have to do my best to be a good host."

"You have done your best to be a good host in bed today. I am very satisfied. Come! Eat with me."

"Shame on you! Stop talking nonsense."

"Hey, will you eat with me?"

"Yeah, stay with me."

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a year, after a short period of adjustment, their feelings for each other became even stronger. They got along very well, with no awkwardness or estrangement between them.

After dinner, the two bought a gift before dark and walked together to the alley where Chen's family lived.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, Li Heng stopped and said, "Go in, I'll watch you."

Chen Zijin hesitated several times, but his thousands of words finally turned into just 10 words:

"Okay, let's have breakfast together tomorrow."
