1987 My Era

Chapter 473, Be my daughter-in-law!

Although there is an invisible barrier between Tian Run'e and Mai Sui for the time being, the dinner is still quite lively.

Tian Run'e did not ignore Mai Sui out of concern. On the contrary, she picked up several pieces of food for Mai Sui with her chopsticks.

In her opinion, even if there was a mistake, it was her son's fault and had nothing to do with the girl.

Tian Run'e even thought irritably: If her son really dies in a woman's belly one day, it would be a calamity in her fate. She would not be satisfied with just one or two, but now she has a whole handful of them, and all of them are so rare and stunningly beautiful that they could overshadow the moon and flowers. Even the emperors in ancient times did not have such a blessing.

Is Manzai's fate as strong as that of ancient emperors?

Tian Run'e didn't think so, so she was worried every time she opened her eyes or closed them.

After dinner, the rain outside finally subsided a lot.

Tian Run'e remembered the favor Wei Quan had done for her in finding her sister, so she discussed with Li Jianguo: "Jianguo, I heard that Teacher Wei also lives at Fudan University. How about buying some things and going over to take a look?"

Li Jianguo nodded, "It should be."

Li Heng interrupted and said, "Your daughter-in-law knows where Teacher Wei lives. Let her take you there."

After these words were spoken, Mai Sui's face turned red, and she lowered her head, shyly wanting to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Sun Manning was shocked. She really admired Li Heng's courage! She hid aside and gave Li Heng a thumbs up! One thumbs up was not enough! She gave him two thumbs up! She lip-synched: Uncle Li, you are my idol!

Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo looked at each other, not knowing what to say. If the Li family had another son, this one could be kicked out of the house and left to fend for himself. It was really worrying.

Tian Run'e said to Mai Sui gently, "Sui Sui, go with your aunt."

Mai Sui said yes.

After watching the three people disappear into the rainy alley holding umbrellas, Sun Manning asked, "Hey! The wheat ears have all gone, why don't you go? Aren't you afraid that your mother will eat the wheat ears?"

Li Heng turned his back to look at the dusky sky, and sighed for a while, "She is a little bit restrained in front of my mother. If I go, she will become dependent on me. If I don't go, she will slowly grow bolder."

"Oh my! This is well-intentioned, but unfortunately! That certain person has a playboy heart and can't move me." Sun Manning took the opportunity to complain.

Li Heng rolled his eyes at her, not wanting to pay attention to her, and turned to go upstairs.

Sun Manning was bored, so she turned around and followed him upstairs.

Li Heng asked: "Why are you here? Aren't you going to play with Shi He?"

Sun Manning sat down on the sofa and complained, "Oh! Frankly speaking, I don't know what's going on. When I met Shihe's mother and sister-in-law, I felt out of tune with them. We didn't have much to talk about. I felt uncomfortable staying there. It was so awkward."

A word suddenly emerged in Li Heng's mind: class gap.

Come to think of it, this girl usually speaks recklessly, is used to being wild, and is carefree. It would be strange if she could integrate with others in a short time. It's only because Zhou Shihe has a gentle personality and is more tolerant, otherwise it would be difficult to become good friends.

Li Heng casually threw a book to her: "Then read it."

After saying that, he turned the pages of the book and entered the world in it, ignoring her.

Sun Manning muttered: What the hell are you looking at, you nerd!
Later she realized: Well, he is a great writer, not a nerd. So annoying, how can you become a great writer just by reading books?
Sun Manning looked at Li Heng's profile as he was absorbed in thought and wrinkled his nose: You know what, this bastard is really good-looking, no wonder the beautiful lady died when she met him, but the little beauty was able to survive intact.

After looking for a while, Sun Manning looked away and suddenly thought of the foursome in high school: Song Yu and Mai Sui were both involved with him, and he didn't know what Chen Lijun was like. Would she also have a crush on this bastard?
In the evening, Zhou Shihe came over, wearing a beige silk sweater, which perfectly set off her delicate and fragile temperament. It made people want to protect her with all their tenderness.

Li Heng couldn't help but glance at her several times.

Zhou Shihe was very observant and noticed his strange gaze at the first moment. She paused, then pretended not to know anything, took the herbal tea from Sun Manning and took two sips.

Sun Manning, who was feeling bored and lonely, asked happily, "Haha, Shihe, why are you here? Aren't you at home with your mother and sister-in-law?"

Zhou Shihe said gently, "I made an extra portion of squirrel mandarin fish and crab meat lion head today and put them on the first floor."

Sun Manning jumped up: "You sent it over?"

Seeing her greedy look, Zhou Shihe smiled and nodded slightly.

"Yeah! Our Shihe is still the best! Long live Shihe!" Sun Manning ran to the corridor entrance amidst the sound of the wind and went downstairs.

The crazy girl left, and suddenly the only people left on the sofa were Li Heng who was reading a book and Zhou Shihe who was drinking tea.

After a while, Zhou Shihe asked reservedly, "Auntie, do you have any problem with Sui Sui?"

Li Heng was stunned and raised his head suddenly?
Their eyes met, and he blurted out, "Why do you say that?"

Zhou Shihe smiled gently, "I was just guessing before, but your expression now gives me the answer."

Li Heng thought for a while, but couldn't find any flaws. Finally, he was curious: "What's the reason?"

Zhou Shihe glanced at him strangely, then said quietly, "When you came back from shopping, your mother was looking down at the wheat ears from the attic, and she seemed to be in a complicated mood."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows, "Where were you at the time? How could you see this clearly? Do you have clairvoyance?"

Zhou Shihe said: "My eyesight has always been good."

Li Heng teased: "Not only do you have good eyesight, you are also very cunning. Teacher Yu is often annoyed by you."

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, holding the teacup in both hands, and remained silent for a while.

After a long while, she asked in confusion: "Why?"

Her words made no sense, but Li Heng understood them. She asked: Why does Comrade Tian Run'e have a problem with Mai Sui?
In Zhou Shihe's eyes, Sui Sui is gentle and sensible, virtuous and good at housekeeping, and very beautiful. Except for the fact that she can't cook, she is simply a perfect wife.

Of course, the main reason was that she didn't know that Li Heng had another woman outside, nor did she know that Li's parents knew about Xiao Han and other women, and thought that Xiao Han was still in love with him but was hiding it from her family. So she asked this question.

Regarding the characteristics of wheat ears, Li Heng didn't want to answer this question. He lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand. The living room was quiet for a while.

Her gaze lingered on him for a moment, then Zhou Shihe placed the teacup on the coffee table, slowly stood up, and tiptoed away from the second floor.

This was the first time he ignored her after knowing each other for a year. Her intuition told her that she had asked the wrong question.

At the same time, it was also discovered that the position of Wheat Ear in his heart was more important than he thought.

When I went downstairs, I saw Sun Manning lying on the table eating crab meat soup. The way she swallowed it in big mouthfuls made me laugh.

Zhou Shihe couldn't help laughing: "Manning, why don't you eat mandarin fish?"

Sun Manning shook her hands. "Tsk! Someone loves fish the most. Someone loves fish because of his love for me. You didn't make this dish for me."

The first someone this girl mentioned was Li Heng, and the second someone referred to Mai Sui.

After talking to her for a few words, Zhou Shihe's mood suddenly improved. She stood by and waited for a while. When Sun Manning finished a whole plate of food, she said calmly, "It's boring to stay at home. Let's go for a walk."

Sun Manning packed up the CDs and asked, "Do you want to invite Li Heng?"

Zhou Shihe shook his head: "He is reading, don't disturb him."

Sun Manning circled her bestie three times, laughing, "Oh my! This is the first time I've seen our Shihe's charm being ignored. A certain idiot actually ignored the most beautiful woman in the world and read a book instead. Wow! He is really a nerd, a fool."

Zhou Shihe smiled slightly and left Building 26.

When passing by Building 27, Sun Manning put the empty plate in, then ran out and said, "I ate the whole plate by myself, and now the empty plate is returned to its original owner. Li Heng's parents don't know about this."

Leaving Lushan Village, Sun Manning asked: "Where are we going?"

Zhou Shihe looked into the distance, then pursed her lips and said, "Let's just take a walk around the campus."

Although she said she was walking casually, Sun Manning intentionally or unintentionally took her friend towards Yanyuan to look for Wei Xiaozhu.

Zhou Shihe didn't care at first and didn't think much about it until she saw Li Jianguo and his wife and Mai Sui appear in Teacher Wei Quan's house. Then she realized that Manning might have done it on purpose.

Sun Manning did it on purpose, but she had no bad intentions. It was just a prank that came to her mind occasionally: bring together the two little Wangs from Fudan University to show Li Heng's parents what it means to let a hundred flowers bloom. Phew! Your son is a playboy. Guess how many of these will be his daughters-in-law in the future?

The girl was still thinking with regret: It’s a pity that seniors Liu Yue and Ye Zhanyan went to the United States, otherwise if they were called over, it would definitely make someone’s parents unable to sleep, that would be fun.

When she saw Zhou Shihe up close again, Tian Run'e suddenly felt alert. This was not the first time. When she met him in the alley in the afternoon, her alarm bells also rang.

As the old saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. She knows her son's character better than anyone else. It is estimated that the type of girl from the Zhou family is the easiest to impress her son.

She had never met Song Yu in person, so she couldn't give her a correct evaluation of her, but as of now, Zhou Shihe was the most stunning woman she had ever seen in her decades of traveling around the country, no doubt about it.

Even when she was younger, Tian Run'e admitted that she was not as good as the other and there was a gap.

Noticing that Tian Run'e's eyes were wandering around him, Zhou Shihe, who was as calm as water, continued to chat in a low voice with Wei Xiaozhu, Mai Sui and others as usual, appearing very calm.

While chatting with friends, Zhou Shihe suddenly had a strange idea when looking at Mai Sui and Wei Xiaozhu in front of him: Sui Sui was born with a pair of charming eyes that could make people have endless fantasies; and Xiaozhu was just the opposite, with eyes as light as chrysanthemums, and her whole body smiled as if the spring breeze was at dawn, as if flowers were in full bloom, making people want to find a first love encounter on the green grass.

Looking at the two women with such a contrast, Zhou Shihe realized belatedly: Could it be that Li Heng's mother was worried because Sui Sui was too "alluring"?

It was quite late when we came back from Yanyuan.

Afraid that Mai Sui would not be able to adapt, Li Heng stopped reading and pulled her to sit on the sofa to watch TV with the old couple.

At around 10: in the evening, he took a shower first, and then in front of Li Jianguo, Tian Run'e and Sun Manning, he pulled Mai Sui directly into the room.

Mai Sui was a little panicked and frightened, but the man's grip was too strong and she couldn't resist at all. In the end, she had to follow him into the bedroom with a red face.

As the door of the master bedroom closed, the living room fell into silence.

Sun Manning was a very sensible person. Fearing that the raging fire would burn her, she decided to go all out and quickly went to the next door building No. 27 to take shelter, staying away from the family.

After a long silence, Li Jianguo was the first to break the deadlock and consoled: "Run'e, things have come to this point, we must adjust our mentality."

Tian Run'e frowned, "Mai Sui said that the two of them haven't reached the final step yet."

Li Jianguo has a different view: "It has come to this point. We have slept in the same bed. Whether or not we have taken the final step is not that important. We have to recognize this girl."

Tian Run'e thought about it and didn't answer.

Li Jianguo asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Tian Run'e said: "I plan to stay here for a while and get to know Mai Sui's temperament before leaving."

Li Jianguo shook his head: "Not really. This girl must be a very good person. You can tell from her housework. Besides, don't you think about it, our son has messed with so many girls, why is Mai Sui the only one who stays with him?"

Tian Run'e turned her head and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Li Jianguo said: "I want to tell you that our son likes Mai Sui very much. If we object, it will only cause tension in the family relationship."

Tian Run'e looked toward the bedroom door and fell into deep thought. Intellectually, she knew her husband was right.

But emotionally speaking, she was really worried that her baby son might have an accident.

Li Jianguo went on to say, "We can't stay here for too long. We'll leave in three days at most."

Tian Run'e slowly reacted: "Are you worried that Secretary Xiao's daughter will come?"

Li Jianguo said, "That's right, school starts in three days."

As for women like Manzai, the couple followed a principle: avoid them if possible. Otherwise, if Xiaohan, Mai Sui and Teacher Yu got together, and these girls had a conflict, they would not know who to help or who to favor.

Should we just watch the show and not care? That seems even more wrong.

Therefore, before Manzai's love life was completely clear, the old couple thought it would be better to meet them one by one to avoid meeting two or three at the same time. Time passed by minute by minute, and more than half an hour passed quietly.

At a certain moment, Tian Run'e stood up, walked to the bedroom door with small steps, and listened attentively against the wall.

After listening for a while and hearing nothing, she breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to the sofa and said to her husband, "Let's go back to our room and rest."

Li Jianguo nodded and stood up.

But at this moment, the lights in Building 25 opposite came on, and Yu Shuheng appeared in the living room on the second floor.

Tian Run'e stared at him for a while, then changed her mind and said, "Take me downstairs. I want to talk to Teacher Yu."

Li Jianguo asked: "It's so late, why bother them? How about tomorrow?"

"If I don't go tonight, I won't be able to sleep." Tian Run'e turned and walked towards the stairs.

Li Jianguo had no choice but to follow him downstairs.

Yu Shuheng on the opposite side seemed to have noticed the couple's movements. When she saw them coming downstairs to open the door, she also thought of something, so she put down the work at hand, went downstairs, and opened the courtyard door with a "creak".

"Teacher Yu, will it disturb your rest if I visit you so late?" Tian Run'e asked apologetically through the gate.

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, opened all the doors, and stepped aside. "It's okay. I just got back too. I'm not that sleepy."

Hearing this, Tian Run'e stepped into the courtyard.

Li Jianguo stopped where he was and did not move.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng seemed to figure out what was going on and guessed that Tian Run'e was looking for trouble with her. She smiled and nodded at Li Jianguo, then closed the door.

Coming to the second floor, Tian Run'e looked at the curtains.

Yu Shuheng understood, took the initiative to walk over and draw the curtains, and then started to boil water, "I haven't been home for a few days, and there is no hot water at home. I have to boil it now, please forgive me."

Tian Run'e smiled and said, "Teacher Yu is so polite."

After a kettle of water was boiled and each of them poured a cup, Yu Shuheng and Tian Run'e finally had time to sit down and talk.

Yu Shuheng asked: "When did you come here?"

She seemed confused about how to address Li Heng's parents.

Originally, she was Li Heng's university teacher. Logically speaking, she and the couple should be of the same generation. Before her relationship with Li Heng was settled, it was inappropriate to call them uncle and aunt.

So she didn't add any title and directly used "you" as a pronoun.

Since it was late, Tian Run'e didn't beat around the bush and explained directly: "I arrived this afternoon. I originally wanted to invite Teacher Yu to dinner to talk about something, but you were not at home at that time, so it was delayed until now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuheng straightened up and pretended to listen attentively.

Across the coffee table, the two looked at each other for a while, and Tian Run'e spoke first, asking, "Teacher Yu, can I ask you a few questions?"

Yu Shuheng hesitated and nodded.

Tian Run'e's first question was quite sharp, "Are you and Li Heng in a relationship?"

Yu Shuheng was surprised, but then she felt relieved. Perhaps the couple had been wondering and wanted to ask for a long time. After a moment of hesitation, she hid the shame in her heart and chose to face the reality: "Auntie, I will call you Auntie from now on."

Since they were talking about this topic, she stopped being hesitant and took the initiative to lower her status to the same level as Li Heng.

With just one "Auntie", Tian Run'e understood a lot: "Okay."

Yu Shuheng continued, "I am personally attracted to him and prefer him. But he has concerns."

Tian Run'e leaned forward slightly and asked, "Are you concerned about Teacher Yu's identity?"

Yu Shuheng did not deny: "Yes."

Contrary to expectations, Tian Run'e thought that Teacher Yu and Manzai had already arrived together and had slept long ago. Judging from the situation, it is possible that their progress is not as great as that of Mai Sui.

She was suddenly disappointed.

Noticing Tian Run'e's disappointed expression, Yu Shuheng was full of confusion.

Shouldn't it be an expression of relief? Why would it be an expression of disappointment?

Does Aunt Tian want me and Li Heng to be together?
Seeing Teacher Yu's doubts, Tian Run'e hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Heng will sleep in the same room with Mai Sui tonight."

Yu Shuheng was stunned, and a sense of inexplicable annoyance surged into her heart. Then she forced herself to calm down quickly. After a while, she picked up the tea on the coffee table, blew a few breaths and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Run'e said tactfully: "He is young now and his body can handle the food. I am worried that he will not be able to handle it in a few years."

Yu Shuheng stared at the tea in the cup, savoring the other person's words.

Does that mean he has too many women? That it's bad for his health?

How can this be prevented? Of course, someone has to keep him under control and force him to exercise moderation.

And who should manage Li Heng...?
Thinking that Aunt Tian came to see her so late at night with sadness, Yu Shuheng instantly understood her intention.

The other party wants me to take care of Li Heng.

In what capacity?

it goes without saying.

No wonder Aunt Tian asked me about my relationship with Li Heng right away?
No wonder when he heard that he and Li Heng had not reached that stage yet, he looked disappointed, and he did not hide his disappointed expression at all.

Is she trying to make herself understand her thoughts?

As her thoughts raced, thousands of ideas flashed through her mind. Yu Shuheng was a little dazed, overwhelmed by this huge surprise.

Of course she wanted to marry Li Heng.

Otherwise, why would I let his big hands do whatever they want to me?
Why should I go back to my hometown with him?

Yu Shuheng tapped the teacup irregularly with her fingers, her heart filled with joy, but her face remained calm, because she knew that this job was not easy to do, and this identity was even harder to get.

In order to obtain this identity, in addition to Aunt Tian's approval, the key still depends on Li Heng himself, otherwise everything will be in vain.

After sorting out all the threads in a flash, Yu Shuheng raised her head and asked slowly, "Auntie, are you mainly worried about Mai Sui? Or are you worried about Xiao Han and Chen Zijin?"

Tian Run'e's eyes widened: "Teacher Yu, you know everything?"

"Ah."

Yu Shuheng hummed, took a sip of tea, and spoke warmly: "He is energetic and emotional, which is why I am reluctant to restrain him."

Tian Run'e sighed, "I'm mainly worried about Mai Sui."

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuheng said, "Auntie, don't worry too much about her. From what I've observed over the past year, Mai Sui is a good woman who would rather get hurt herself than hurt Li Heng."

This time it was Tian Run'e's turn to be surprised. She had thought about a lot of things before coming here, but she never expected that Teacher Yu would speak for her potential rival.

It seems that I am too narrow-minded!

It seems that Teacher Yu’s vision and perspective are much broader than I imagined!
Hearing this, Tian Run'e's mood inexplicably improved a lot. "I believe you, Mai Sui should be a good girl. I'm just afraid that bastard will be obsessed with Mai Sui day and night, and the girl will be unable to control herself."

Yu Shuheng said, "Auntie, are you afraid that Li Heng will follow in the footsteps of Li Ran and her daughter?"

Tian Run'e was quite frank, "It is true."

Yu Shuheng agreed, "This is indeed a problem. I will find an opportunity to talk to Mai Sui openly in the future."

Hearing this, Tian Run'e asked back: "Teacher Yu, what are your concerns?"

Yu Shuheng didn't speak for a while, and then she said in a low voice: "I am 7 years older than Li Heng."

Tian Run'e said with a smile: "It would be better to hold two gold bricks."

Yu Shuheng said: "I am his university teacher."

This identity is nothing special, it's more exciting and fun, but it can't withstand rumors. I'm even more afraid of 404, otherwise March would have eaten up Teacher Yu long ago.

Tian Run'e thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Teacher Yu, do you like teaching?"

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng squeezed the teacup in her hand hard, almost breaking it, and smiled slightly: "Auntie, teaching is just a hobby of mine. If there is something more important, I can quit my teaching position at any time."

This question and answer seems like nothing?
But everything is left unsaid.

Tian Run'e asked her if she could quit her job as a teacher and become her daughter-in-law?
Yu Shuheng gave a very affirmative answer.

Sure enough, when Tian Run'e understood what the other party meant, she was overjoyed and looked at Yu Shuheng with bright eyes, as if the other party had now become her daughter-in-law.

Honestly, she had seriously considered Chen Zijin and Xiao Han, but plans could not keep up with changes. She knew very well that the two girls were still too young to play a role. By the time they graduated and became useful, given her son's romantic habits, there would probably be so many women around him that he would not be able to count them on his two hands, and by that time his body would probably have collapsed.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tian Run'e chose Teacher Yu, whom she had once been afraid to touch.

Although the couple was wary of Teacher Yu's noble status and family background.

But on the other hand, only Teacher Yu’s identity and background can truly control his son. Otherwise, it would be useless to just whisper in his ears.

Compared with the guilt and apology she felt towards her other daughters, she saved the most important thing: Manzai's life.

Tian Run'e's eyes lit up, but Yu Shuheng was not as optimistic as she was.

Teacher Yu knew very well that if she could use her status and background to pressure him, and it would really be effective and could make him return to her heart and live with her sincerely for the rest of his life, she really wouldn't mind giving it a try.

But the problem was that she was afraid of the opposite effect. She was afraid that Li Heng would be pushed too far and would pursue Zhou Shihe madly and then turn around to accept Huang Zhaoyi. At that time, her family background would no longer be the only one and would not be able to oppress him.

He pursues Zhou Shihe madly, will Zhou Shihe agree?
Yu Shuheng has done a sand table analysis and based on the premise that the two of them have lived in the same room together in Beijing for such a long time, Li Heng should have a chance of success in pursuing Zhou Shihe, but the chances of winning are slim.

Zhou Shihe is a person who is round on the outside but square on the inside. She seems easy to get along with, but in fact she is more proud than she is. There is always a red line in her heart. It is very difficult for anyone to cross this line and truly enter her heart.

Yu Shuheng believes that among his same-sex friends, it is probably only Mai Sui who has entered Zhou Shihe's heart, Wei Xiaozhu is half, and Sun Manning and Ye Ning may be a little short of that.

As for friends of the opposite sex, Li Heng was probably still beyond Zhou Shihe's defense. So, there was not much hope.

But Zhou Shihe's chances were slim, but Huang Zhaoyi's chances were high. As long as Li Heng was willing, he could change things overnight. He could find someone to back him up overnight.

This is what Yu Shuheng doesn't want to see.

Thinking of Huang Zhaoyi, Yu Shuheng suddenly became serious. As she was too busy, she hadn't paid much attention to her for a long time. She didn't know how this lady was doing now. Was she still pestering Li Heng?
Thinking of this, she felt that she should not be careless and should investigate the other party's current situation carefully to avoid any setbacks.

Thinking back, Yu Shuheng put down the cup and asked, "Auntie, have you seen Song Yu?"

Tian Run'e was awed. As expected, none of her son's secrets could be hidden from Teacher Yu. She nodded and shook her head and said, "I've seen him from the side from a distance, but never from the front."

Then she asked, "Teacher Yu, who are you?"

Ps: Update first and then modify.
