1987 My Era

Chapter 120, Attitude Change (Seeking monthly ticket!)
bedroom.

As soon as the door was closed, Chen Zijin took off his disguise and couldn't help but lie on the bed and cry softly.

She didn't know why she was so sad, but she just wanted to cry.

Tears flowed out like a flood that broke through the dam, wetting the thin summer quilt in a blink of an eye.

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was another knock on the door, this time accompanied by Chen Xiaomi's shout:

"Zijin, open the door. My aunt wants to talk to you about something."

Chen Zijin wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and after calming down her emotions, she stood up and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the strong Chen Zijin appeared again, "Aunt, what do you want from me?"

Chen Xiaomi observed her for a while, walked into the room and closed the door before speaking: "Have you cried?"

"No." Chen Zijin said aggrievedly.

Although Chen Xiaomi had opposed Li Heng and her eldest niece being together before, she had always been very fond of this beautiful niece who she had held since she was a child, and she reached out and stroked her beautiful hair.

Question: "How long does Li Heng plan to stay in the capital this time?"

Chen Zijin said: "4 days."

Chen Xiaomi was surprised: "You came all the way here, and you're only going to stay for 4 days?"

"Well, he has something else to do."

Chen Zijin hummed and said, "He still has to go to Gansu."

Chen Xiaomi asked: "What is he doing in Gansu? Such a remote place."

Chen Zijin explained Zhao Jing's situation.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "I have seen Zhao Jing when she was young. She was a pretty woman. At that time, it was rumored that she liked Li Jianguo quite a lot. It's a pity that she has to be widowed in her middle age."

As he spoke, Chen Xiaomi sat down beside the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled his niece over to sit next to him and said:
"Your mother is a little irritable today, but you have to understand that she is your mother after all, and she is thinking about you.

and"

After a pause, she continued, “And my sister-in-law is also from a big family, and she has had the temper of a big lady since she was a child.

Your grandfather and your father were able to start working so quickly thanks to the help of your grandpa and uncle, so in this family, as long as it is not a major issue of principle, they basically will not go against your mother, you have to be aware of this. "

Is it possible not to count?

Chen Zijin knew it very well. The main reason why her mother had such a high say in the family, besides her grandpa and uncle, was that her father loved and spoiled her so much.

Therefore, over the past year, my father could only comfort and enlighten me, but he would not really stand on my side.

Sometimes she even thought that although Grandpa and Dad had some complaints about what Mom and her aunts did in the past, they didn't really take it to heart.

Or maybe, grandpa and dad didn't really agree with this marriage in their hearts, but because of their face and the character of men, they wouldn't go to extremes and make it so ugly.

Perhaps, my mother and three aunts understood what grandpa and father were thinking, which is why they opposed it so strongly.

Whenever he thought of this, Chen Zijin would feel so confused. The feeling of being isolated and helpless was really too suffocating.

Seeing that her niece was silent, Chen Xiaomi sighed, put her arm around her waist and said, "Since I met Li Heng in Shao City, I have watched To Live no less than five times during my time back in Beijing.

Each time I watch it, the time I watch it becomes longer and longer, and each time I watch it, the feeling becomes deeper and deeper. Let me say this from my heart without worrying about you laughing, but now I kind of regret having treated him like that.

He is a piece of gold full of inner talent. Even in extremely unfavorable circumstances, he can still turn the tide. To be honest, I still admire him very much.

Although I don’t want to admit that I have wavered, I now enjoy reading his novels, including his new book, “The Troublemakers.”

Chen Zijin was shocked and stared at his sister-in-law in disbelief.

My little aunt is such a proud person, and her personality is almost the same as mine. Once she makes up her mind, she will never turn back, even if she is wrong, even if she gets hurt, she will not change easily.

But now.
What did she hear?
She heard that her aunt was shaken and regretted her feelings, which completely overturned her previous understanding.

Seeing her niece's expression, Chen Xiaomi smiled helplessly: "I am different from my sister-in-law and your two aunts. My job is an editor, and I am engaged in literature. Li Heng's works have a much greater impact on me than theirs, and I can feel Li Heng's strength and genius more."

Chen Zijin asked, "Aunt, how did you know that Li Heng wrote "The Troublemakers"? "

Chen Xiaomi did not shy away from the question: "I have been following him. I also have friends at Harvest Magazine. Some things can be hidden from outsiders, but not from people like us who are interested."

What do you mean by these caring people?
They are people in the industry and those with extremely high social status. As long as you ask around, many of them will take the initiative to show goodwill.

Chen Zijin was immediately filled with worry, "That won't be good for him."

Chen Xiaomi waved her hand: "Don't worry, there are definitely people who know his true identity, but not too many."

Hearing this, Chen Zijin's heart was instantly relieved.

That night, the aunt and niece opened up to each other for the first time and talked a lot about Li Heng, and they didn't leave until late at night.

Before leaving, Chen Xiaomi said to her niece earnestly, "As a woman, I now understand why you like Li Heng so much.

But you still have to be careful about your approach and don't go head-on with your mother. You are all blood relatives, so you have to learn to give in."

Chen Zijin was stunned for a moment, then personally escorted his sister-in-law out.

On the other side, Mr. Chen’s room.

After playing three games of chess in a row, Mr. Chen asked, "Did Li Heng come to the capital?" Chen Gaoyuan rearranged the chessboard and said, "He did come, and he brought you a gift."

Mr. Chen took a sip of tea and said, "That's thoughtful."

Chen Gaoyuan jumped the horse first, and while making his move, he talked about what happened today.

After listening to this, Mr. Chen did not comment. After a long while, he said with emotion: "Zhong Lan has a good brother. He is going to be promoted."

Chen Gaoyuan held the chess piece in his hand, looked up and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Nothing is certain in this world until the very end. If we have a 7% certainty, we already have hope. Just wait, it will be soon, probably within these two months," said Mr. Chen.

Chen Gaoyuan was silent. After thinking for a while, he jumped forward.

The father and son didn't say anything after that. They concentrated on playing chess until the fourth game was almost over. Then Mr. Chen said, "Are you going to see Li Heng tomorrow?"

Chen Gaoyuan responded, "It's not easy for him to come to the capital, I have to entertain him on behalf of Jianguo and Run'e."

Hearing this, Mr. Chen half turned around, opened the drawer, took out a copy of "To Live" and handed it to his son:

"This book is good. I've read it twice. I can meet the real person tomorrow. You can ask him to sign it."

Chen Gaoyuan looked surprised.

Although signing is a small thing and a piece of cake for Li Heng, it is of great significance.

Old Master Chen slowly took a cigarette out of the cigarette box, struck a match, lit it, took two puffs and said:

"The mother and daughter have been fighting all the time. Don't you think about who Zijin resembles with her personality?"

Chen Gaoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I understand."

The father and son faced each other and smoked for a while. Chen Gaoyuan suddenly said, "I've been thinking about Jianguo being framed a lot lately."

Hearing the string, he knew the meaning of the music. Old Master Chen shook off the ashes from his cigarette and said, "It's not time yet."

After smoking, Chen Gaoyuan packed up the chess pieces and stood up to leave.

When he reached the door, Mr. Chen suddenly pointed to the "Family Letters of Zeng Guofan" on the bookshelf and said, "This book is given to Li Heng as a return gift. Let your younger sister deliver it."

Chen Gaoyuan came to the bookshelf, picked up "Family Letters of Zeng Guofan", flipped through it, and took it away. After he left, the five words "let your younger sister deliver it" were still lingering in his mind.

When her husband returned home, Zhong Lan subconsciously looked at the time.

11: 13.

She asked, "Have you been playing chess with Dad?"

Chen Gaoyuan nodded.

Zhong Lan asked curiously: "What did you talk about?"

Chen Gaoyuan has always doted on his daughter-in-law, so he briefly described the conversation between father and son.

Zhong Lan reached out to take the book from his hand and frowned, "This is one of Dad's favorite books. He usually treasures it very much. So you just gave it to Li Heng like this?"

Chen Gaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Li Heng is very famous now. I have asked several influential friends in the industry and they all praised him highly, saying that he is very talented and that this book has established his position in the literary world.

And my younger sister revealed a piece of news to me today. He recently changed his pen name and wrote a new novel "The Troublemakers". It is still very popular and he is one of the most popular writers nowadays.

You know, the old man loves reading, so he must be looking for talent."

Originally, Chen Gaoyuan didn't need to say the second half of the sentence, but he still chose to say it directly.

Zhong Lan remained silent after hearing this.

She gloomily flipped through Zeng Guofan's Family Letters, which were filled with notes and insights, and finally put the book down, covered her head and fell asleep.

but…

No matter how she pretended to be asleep, no matter how she forced herself to fall asleep, she still tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.

On the other side, the hotel.

When Li Heng returned to the second floor, he knocked on Zhang Zhiyong's room and heard a voice shouting, "Who is it?"

"It's me who is stupid."

"Li Heng, fuck your uncle. This is the capital, the most solemn and sacred place in the country. If you call me stupid again, I will be angry with you." Zhang Zhiyong opened the door and expressed his dissatisfaction with him with a frown.

Li Heng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention, you stupid guy, when did you come back?"

"Fuck you!" With a bang, Zhang Zhiyong closed the door and went into the shower room.

Seeing this, Li Heng turned around and knocked on the English teacher's door and shouted, "Teacher, it's me."

A few seconds later, the door opened a crack, and the English teacher, who had just changed into pajamas and was ready to go to bed, asked with a squinting look, "What's the matter?"

Li Heng quickly looked her over and asked, "Are you asleep so early?"

"I've been walking around for a while and feel a little sleepy. Have you just come back from accompanying your girlfriend?" the English teacher asked.

Li Heng nodded: "Have you had dinner yet? I wanted to invite you and Quxinyan to have a midnight snack."

"I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore. You should also go to bed early." After saying that, the English teacher ignored him and closed the door.

Really, everyone is so irritable, they just close the door without letting people in. Is this how you treat your friends and relatives?
