I saw Teacher Yu got on the walk-behind tractor first.

Li Heng had no choice but to follow.

After sitting firmly, he reminded: "Teacher, this kind of farm vehicle is quite bumpy, how about driving your Mercedes?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuheng refused, "No, this one is good."

Her idea was simple. She was tired of riding in a Mercedes-Benz and wanted to experience a new way of traveling, with fresh air and enough time to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way.

Knowing that this teacher was a person with very positive ideas, Li Heng stopped trying to persuade him after giving him one piece of advice and instead started chatting with Quxinyan.

He asked, "I seemed to see your father half an hour ago. I couldn't see him clearly, only his back. Was it him?"

Zhang Zhiyong pouted, "Hey! Don't mention that bitch to the old man. Damn it! That idiot treated my home like an inn. He ran away as soon as he came back. He didn't even eat when his grandparents called him to eat. He was in such a hurry as if he was going to reincarnate."

Yu Shuheng glanced at Zhang Zhiyong and couldn't help laughing.

This was the first time in her life that she had met such a top-notch person. He kept swearing and looked down on everyone. It seemed that he respected Li Heng the most.

It took the tractor 10 minutes to reach the 25-mile distance, which was really slow.

However, when they arrived at Shimen Station, before the three of them had time to get off the bus, they found a group of people gathered in front of Qian Yuejin's wonton shop. The crowd was shouting and making a fuss, and it seemed that someone was fighting inside.

Seeing a newly bought Honda motorcycle parked not far away, Zhang Zhiyong immediately yelled: "Fuck! Didn't that idiot say he was in a hurry to go back to the company in Shao City? Why is the motorcycle here?"

Li Heng also saw the motorcycle at the first moment, but before he could say anything, two people, a man and a woman, hurriedly ran out from the crowd. Aren’t they Zhang Zhiyong’s father and the proprietress of the wonton shop?

Zhang Zhiyong's father quickly took out the key and started the motorcycle. The boss's wife was also quick to sit on it.

When the motorcycle just started, the boss's husband rushed out with a kitchen knife in his hand and chopped furiously! Almost! Just a little bit! The kitchen knife hit the boss of the Chaos Shop.

With a roar, the motorcycle flew out, leaving a man chasing it with a kitchen knife in his hand.

Li Heng and Yu Shuheng were both stunned!

The people around were stunned!
After coming to his senses, Zhang Zhiyong cursed: "Bitch! That bitch must have gone out to play with women again, and was caught alive! Damn it! How did he escape? Why wasn't he hacked to death!"

Li Heng: “.”

Yu Shuheng: “.”

Li Heng kicked the idiot and said, "Hide quickly. If he fails to catch your dad, he might take his anger out on you later."

"Fuck! It's true. I'm a college student and I don't want to take a knife for that bitch." Having said that, Zhang Zhiyong no longer cared about the tractor and quickly dived into the crowd.

Before leaving, the fool gave him a look, meaning that he should go to the post office and mail a letter.

The crowd was still lively.

No! The wife ran away with the adulterer. This was a big drama! The onlookers were very excited and told each other about it. The scene was boiling, even more lively than the previous fight scene.

Li Heng sighed softly as he watched.

Yu Shuheng asked: "Why are you sighing?"

Li Heng looked at the wonton shop sign and said, "I will never be able to eat such delicious wontons in this town again. How can I not feel regretful?"

Yu Shuheng had eaten wontons here the day before yesterday, and they were indeed delicious. After a while, she asked again, "Is Zhang Zhiyong's father a playboy?"

"Well, his father is famous for being a playboy." Li Heng said.

"Oh."

Yu Shuheng said "oh" and asked meaningfully, "How does it compare to you?"

Seeing this question, Li Heng's forehead was sweating, and he realized that he had fallen into a trap due to his carelessness.

He rolled his eyes and said calmly, "I am different from him."

"They're both fickle, what's the difference?" Yu Shuheng was curious.

Li Heng held up two fingers and said, "First, his stupid father likes to find widows and married women. Second, his father either coaxes women with words or spends money to find women. Most of the time, he uses money to get them."

Yu Shuheng asked mockingly: "What about you?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes again, "I am always pursued by women, except Song Yu."

What he said was the truth. In his past and present lives, among so many women, he had only pursued Song Yu.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the temperature in the air suddenly drop a lot, and there was a chill in the middle of summer.

Li Heng turned his head and found that Teacher Yu looked calm, but his cold aura returned to normal.

Well, this has offended people invisibly.

About 20 minutes later, the farce in front of us dissipated, and the chaotic restaurant that had been open for many years closed in broad daylight. After the proprietress and her husband left angrily, the idiot appeared from some corner again.

Yu Shuheng said to Quxinyan: "The letter has been sent, let's go."

Zhang Zhiyong touched his head and pretended to be dumbfounded, "Teacher, what do you believe?"

Yu Shuheng glanced at Mr. Li, smiled warmly and said nothing.

In front of others, she gave Li Heng enough face and concealed her cold side very well.

Li Heng pretended not to have seen or heard anything about the letter, and said, "Lao Yong, let's go, let's go to the next town for a walk."

"Okay, okay! Let's go!" Although his father was caught stealing, his stupidity didn't seem to be affected at all. On the contrary, he looked very excited and even sang in the same tone as when he was worshipping Nanyue Bodhisattva.

The neighboring Jinshi Town is a little far away, about 20 miles away. The rural market in summer is not as lively as that in winter. Both sides of the street are full of vendors' stalls. Most of these stalls have a urea bag on the ground, and then the things to be sold are placed on it. It is very simple, the goods are of different qualities, and it looks very messy.

Seeing that Teacher Yu was enjoying the shopping, Li Heng took her to crowded places such as the farmers' market and the agricultural machinery station.

Especially in a corner of the farmer's market, she guarded a mushroom stall for a long time, but didn't sell a penny. The vendor glanced at Teacher Yu from time to time, thinking, this woman is so dignified and beautiful, why can't I sell my mushrooms when she comes?
The stall owner felt that he was unlucky, but when he saw Li Heng and the stupid guy standing next to him, he didn't dare to chase them away.

Li Heng pulled Teacher Yu's sleeve and said, "Teacher, it's getting late. Let's find a place to eat something. We will go back later."

Yu Shuheng nodded and left the farmers' market.

Strangely enough, as soon as she left, customers came to the stall and the stall owner was almost moved to tears.

Li Heng asked her, "Why did you stay there for so long?"

Yu Shuheng said: "I was tired from walking and wanted to take a break. I happened to see the milk mushrooms we picked yesterday on the stall, and I was curious about how much we could sell them for in a day?"

Li Heng was speechless. The reason was so strong that he couldn't refute it for a while. After all, this girl was from the city. It was normal for a girl from the city to be curious about things from the countryside.

They chose a clean shop and had a bowl of noodles, then the three of them rode back on a tractor.

When he returned to Qianzhen, he thought for a moment and said to Zhang Zhiyong, "Lao Yong, stop for a moment. I have something to do."

The fool bared his teeth and shouted, "Damn it! I knew you would ask me to stop the car. You want to go find Xiao Han, right? You haven't looked for her for such a long time since you came back. Watch out for your head!"

Looking at this idiot, Li Heng's mouth twitched and he wished he could kill him with one finger.

He couldn't help but sigh to the sky: Damn it, what I feared is bound to happen, how could I know such an idiot?
Seeing his constipated look, Yu Shuheng suppressed her laughter and got out of the car first and said, "The Xiao family is in the middle of the town, right? I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity to see what your junior high school looks like."

Li Heng was reluctant and said, "Teacher, didn't you say your feet were tired? Why don't you wait for me in the car? I'll be back soon."

Yu Shuheng turned a deaf ear to this.

Instead of retreating, Li Heng had to take a shortcut to the town government, hoping that she really just wanted to visit the town.

But the problem is that the place where Xiao Han and I usually date is also in the grove in the town.

But when he thought about the time they had agreed to meet at around 10 a.m. and it was already past 4 p.m., he felt relieved.

Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived near the gate of the town government.

Li Heng looked around and did not move.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng crossed the road and entered the town opposite.

Li Heng looked at Zhang Zhiyong: "Lao Yong, do you want to be a light bulb?"

The fool immediately followed him to the town, cursing.

After the troublesome person left, Li Heng looked at the time, 4:32, and then found a grocery store and started calling the Xiao family.

It didn't work out.

I called the second time, but it didn't go through.

After beating three of them in a row, they all stopped.

Aren't you at home?

Li Heng was thinking, and after hesitating for a moment, he changed his mind and walked straight to the entrance of the town government.

He showed up at Shanghai Medical University a few days ago and was also seen by Wei Shiman. He claimed that he was good friends with Xiao Han. So it’s no big deal to go to her house to look for her now. There must be a reason, right?
"Hey! Are you Li Heng? The great writer? Who are you looking for? Are you here to see the secretary's daughter?" The security guard recognized him at a glance, and his attitude changed drastically compared to last time. Not only did he open the door on his own initiative, but his face was also filled with an old smile, though his speech was a little verbose.

Remember last time, wow! People treated him like a thief and were on guard against him. Their tone was as bad as it could be, and they almost chased him away.

Having lived two lives, Li Heng didn't care about these trivial matters. He smiled, nodded, and prepared to go in.

But after taking only two or three steps, he stopped.

Guess who he saw?
He looked up and saw Xiao Han standing by the window. When he looked over, the latter looked pitiful and his expression was as aggrieved as possible.

This scheming daughter-in-law is at home, why is she deliberately not answering the phone?

Could it be that she has heard that Teacher Yu went to Shangwan Village?

Looking back on their time together in the previous life, this wife had a changeable personality and never played by the rules. She was someone he could never figure out.

Li Heng waved his hand and opened his mouth to shout, "Wife, come down."

Xiao Han hid behind the curtains and looked at him, unmoved.

Li Heng waved again, but she still didn't respond.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards the corridor. No matter whether Wei Shiman was at home or not, he had decided to lock the door today.

I have to knock on the door. I've been back for more than a day. I was too busy yesterday and didn't come to see her right away. I already felt guilty. I have to have a personal talk with her today.

Otherwise he would feel empty inside, as if he had lost the most important thing.

Seeing him walking across the basketball court in the compound and entering the corridor, Xiao Han lost her composure. Although she was deliberately making things difficult for Honey, her mother might be back at any time.

If a divorced man were to come to her house, Lady Wei Shiman might appear to be smiling on the surface, but she would definitely go crazy on the inside.

It can be said that there was a reason for our meeting at Shanghai Medical University a few days ago.

If he came to my house again today, could it still be called a coincidence? How could there be such a fool in the world who was so easy to deceive? Thinking of this, Xiao Han quickly left the bedroom, opened the door and walked towards the living room.

At this time, there were two women sitting on the sofa in the living room, Xiao Qing and Xiao Feng. The latter came here yesterday for the market and had stayed at Xiao's house for one night.

Seeing her sister changing her shoes and getting ready to go out, Xiao Qing asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Han replied: "Something happened."

Xiao Qing glanced at the clock on the wall, then at Xiao Hai who was busy in the kitchen. She walked over and whispered a blessing: "Don't be too late for the date. Today is Mom's birthday. You have to come back before 5 o'clock."

Normally, Wei Shiman would get home around 5 o'clock, so she reminded her sister.

Xiao Han's face was a little twisted, but she knew that she couldn't hide it from her sister. She had just unplugged the phone line for no reason, which probably made her sister suspicious. And now she left alone without paying attention to her friends at home, which further confirmed this point.

That's right, she was standing by the window just now and saw every move of Li Heng, Yu Shuheng and the stupid guy outside. When she saw her man walking towards the grocery store, she guessed that he would call her, so she unplugged the phone line in advance.

She didn't know why she had to pull it out. She really wanted to see him, but she was a little confused.

Alas, Honey is indeed the nemesis of this beauty. I am distracted by him, otherwise I would not make such a low-level mistake. Xiao Han reflected on it inwardly, then responded with "I know", opened the door and walked out.

As soon as I closed the door, I bumped into Li Heng.

Looking at each other, Xiao Han tried hard to force a smile and greeted: "Hi! Mr. Li, long time no see."

"It feels like a long time since we last met. It's been a long time since we last met." Li Heng said, standing still.

This time it was Xiao Han's turn to get angry. It was broad daylight, and walls have ears. Could you please stop standing there? Could you please not make me get beaten when I get home?
Xiao Han would be extremely happy if he broke up with the noble lady of the Chen family.

But this guy is obviously two-timing and not a quiet person. He carries bombs with him and might explode on the spot one day.

In her mind, Li Heng should not have the chance to eat Song Yu, so Song Yu can only be considered half a boat.

Xiao Han came over and tried to pull him away.

Li Heng pushed hard, but she couldn't pull him even a bit.

Xiao Han reached out and pulled again, but to no avail.

Her eyebrows curved, revealing a miserable expression, and she lowered her voice and said, "I beg you, my wife, to give me some face."

Li Heng wanted to laugh, and he laughed.

In order to show that she is in harmony with her husband, Xiao Han tried hard to adjust her expression and smiled with a forced smile.

Li Heng asked: "Did you unplug the phone line?"

Xiao Han shook her head and denied it flatly: "No."

Li Heng said: "This won't happen again. If you pull the phone line again next time, I will..."

"You're going to knock on the door and propose to me in front of Lady Wei Shiman? Right?" Xiao Han interrupted him in time and hinted at him indirectly.

This hint was somewhat playful and full of youthfulness, but it was more of her inner expectation.

Noticing the worry and longing in her eyes, Li Heng suddenly calmed down and nodded seriously.

His nod invisibly broke the deadlock and also cleared up some unclear issues.

What are the things that cannot be explained?
For example, why did Teacher Yu come to Qianzhen?

For example, how to deal with the issues between her and Chen Zijin in the future.

For example, facing problems with other women in the future.

Although the future is full of variables and uncertainties, her man's attitude can at least comfort her in the short term, comfort her anxiety and worries, and comfort her decadence and dejection.

People are made of flesh and blood, not iron walls. When there are top competitors like Chen Zijin and Song Yu in front of him and Mai Sui and Yu Shuheng behind him, even if Xiao Han is very confident, he will inevitably feel depressed and exhausted.

She jokingly called this: Even tigers take naps.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Han pulled his sleeve for the third time with a pleading look on his face.

This time Li Heng took action and fulfilled her wish. He followed her down the stairs and left the town government compound.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

Li Heng pointed to the small hill on the other side of the river and said with emotion: "Let's go there. I often played there during my three years in junior high school. I haven't been there for many years. I miss it so much."

"You often had fights on it in junior high school," Xiao Han recalled.

"Who said it wasn't?" Time is gone forever, and many things are still vivid in his mind, as if they happened yesterday, which makes him regretful.

Xiao Han glanced at the town across the street and suddenly said, "Mr. Li, it's too hot today. Let's not climb the mountain, let's go sit in the woods for a while."

Li Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood that many things were actually transparent between each other.

Come to think of it, why else would she unplug the phone line?
Crossing the road, the two walked into the town diagonally opposite, one after the other, then turned right and walked towards the grove as if they were familiar with the route.

Speaking of this grove, I am filled with tears. It was originally the place where Zijin and I had a date in junior high school, but this sinister wife chose this place.

He sometimes wondered if she was deliberately taking revenge on Zijin?
Unfortunately, the grove was quite lively today. Not only were there a few children chasing and playing inside, but there were also a few teachers standing nearby chatting.

Obviously, the two of them couldn't go there.

Otherwise, what happened in the last second would be heard by Wei Shiman in the next second. There are many teachers in this school who have a very good relationship with Wei Shiman.

Xiao Han held her right hand with her left hand, pouted, turned around and said, "Let's go to Class 224."

Class 224 was the class the two attended in junior high school, and was located on the second floor of the teaching building.

He asked, "Do you have a classroom key?"

Xiao Han cleared his throat, glanced over, and said crisply, "You are really a forgetful person. Did you forget? The window glass and steel bars are loose and can be taken out."

Li Heng was surprised: "After so many years, you haven't replaced it yet?"

Xiao Han smiled sweetly and said, "The school is poor, so we just make do with what we can. Unlike you, you are rich now."

Li Heng frowned. Why did he always feel that something was wrong with these words?

Why does it always feel sour?

Why do I feel like she is making a veiled accusation?
The thing is, I am also a very sentimental person, okay? Women are like wine, the longer they are with him, the more he treasures them and the more he cherishes them.

After crossing the playground, he came to Class 224 in his memory. Sure enough, there was a glass window that could be removed. After pulling the steel bars inside to both sides, a big hole was revealed. With his help, Xiao Han easily got in.

Then he restored the glass window and she opened the back door of the classroom.

After entering from the back door of the classroom and closing the door, Li Heng reached out and hugged her.

"Oh! You've been sweating a lot today, and you stink." Seeing that there was no hope of getting away, Xiao Han rarely resorted to verbal coercion.

Li Heng lowered his head and smelled it, "Where is it smelly? Isn't it fragrant?"

"Really? What's that smell? The smell of a woman? Let me smell it again." Xiao Han looked cunning.

Li Heng: “.”

She didn't mention Yu Shuheng at all, but she was making insinuations everywhere.

This is truly my wife, no one else can pretend to be her.

They looked at each other and the air suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, he couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to kiss her because he had been greedy for Teacher Yu these days.

But Xiao Han dodged it.

This is the first time the two have clearly established a romantic relationship.

Li Heng looked at her.

She turned her head away, not looking at him, and said pitifully, "Mr. Li, I had a dream last night."

Li Heng asked: "What dream?"

Xiao Han said: "I dreamed that our ginkgo tree died."

"Ah? How could it die? I watered it every day at school." Li Heng felt that her dream might have come true, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

The truth is, he has no experience in planting trees, and he doesn't know why the leaves of ginkgo trees wither.

Xiao Han said in a low voice: "Do you know how it died in the dream?"

"How did he die?" Li Heng asked curiously.

Xiao Han pursed his lips and said, "It didn't know how to be patient. It went deep into the enemy's territory alone, which was a taboo in military strategy. It was beaten to death by its enemies because it showed its edge."

Li Heng's eyelids twitched more than ten times. He leaned over, trying to see the expression on her face when she said this.

Xiao Han knew what he was thinking, so she immediately turned her head away to prevent him from succeeding.

Li Heng asked: "It's just a tree planted in the yard, where does it have any enemies?"

Xiao Han sighed, "In nature, everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. How can it not have enemies? The flowers on the left, the grass next to it, and the Chinese tallow tree opposite are always competing with it for sunlight and rain. It's new to Lushan Village, and now there's no one to take care of it. I'm really worried about it."

The flowers on the left? There are indeed roses and camellias in the yard of Building 27.

There are indeed two Chinese tallow trees in Teacher Yu’s yard opposite. In spring and autumn, the leaves are bright red and very beautiful.

As for the grass? There was a lot of grass around the ginkgo tree, indeed.

But it sounded strange to him. Was it really not referring to Zhou Shihe, Teacher Yu and Mai Sui?

In fact, he guessed it right.

In Xiao Han's heart: Zhou Shihe is as beautiful as a flower, and her looks and temperament make her afraid. Every time she sees her, she feels a great sense of crisis.

The reason why wheat ears resemble grass is that they are good friends of Li Heng, which makes it easy for people to overlook their degree of danger. However, few people know that grass has a characteristic, which is that it is extremely patient and has great vitality.

Just as the poem says, "Wildfires cannot burn it all; it will grow again with the spring breeze", the wheat ears are the most deadly because they are invisible.

To Xiao Han, Yu Shuheng is just like a towering Chinese tallow tree, with a thick trunk and luxuriant branches and leaves. It is also known as the "red leaf tree" and is very beautiful and has horticultural value. All of these aspects make the ginkgo tree helpless.
