I love you, police officer

After a night of delay, Cheng Yu confessed to his mother when he returned home the next day that he wanted to break up with Teacher Ye.

Aunt Cheng stared blankly at her son, the lines on her face were swallowed up by disappointment, she had nothing to say.

The old lady still had a little bit of thoughts in her heart. Cheng Yu went to meet Ye's parents and left a good impression on each other. .

There was a ferocious knock on the door outside the door, accompanied by shouts. Those who didn't know it thought that the Cheng family owed usurious loans.

It was Aunt Lianhua's big and anxious face that opened the door and bumped in: "Cheng Yu, tell me clearly, Cheng Yu, what's going on with you!!!"

Aunt Lianhua is swinging her broom with her teeth and claws open, and a lot of melon seeds are sticking out behind her to join in the fun. At first glance, she looks like the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara—or a plump version.

Cheng Yu: "...Auntie."

Li Lianhua: "Don't call me! I called Teacher Ye just now. His parents have been waiting for you for more than two hours, and you actually messed with him?!"

Cheng Yu lowered his head and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I was busy with work yesterday... I was delayed."

Li Lianhua was dumbfounded: "Are you busy with work? Just meeting your parents for a meal can delay you. Your work is a big deal! You are the president of the country?! Our place is Shichahai, not Zhongnanhai!!!”

Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, don't get angry, it's my fault, just scold me!"

Li Lianhua got angry, and the broom swung up: "I scold you? I, I, I, I really want to beat you with a broom bump!

Cheng Yu lowered his head and dodged a broom.

The two circled around the faucet in the middle of the yard, one dodged in embarrassment, and the other chased desperately!

The fat aunt poked Cheng Yu on the back of the neck angrily: "Your mother is not willing to beat you. Forget it, my aunt is also reluctant to beat you, but what is it that you do? What a man you are! "

Cheng Yu apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was the one who picked it up, but I... just recently my mind has been a little messed up, and I have been through a lot, so I haven't recovered."

Li Lianhua said unwillingly: "Then you can't be sorry for Mr. Ye, you mean to take advantage of him and then break up with him. Is this appropriate for you?"

Facing the seven or eight heads protruding from the entire courtyard, Cheng Yu couldn't hold back anymore, and confessed frankly: "Auntie, I didn't take advantage of others, I'm not that kind of person! Besides, it really doesn't matter. To that point..."

Didn't take advantage?

The expressions on the faces of Li Lianhua and Aunt Cheng were clearly extremely discouraged and disappointed!

If there is any substantive and in-depth relationship, the kid Cheng Yu has always been decent and thin-skinned, so he can still talk about it.But there's not even a bullshit relationship, it's just a date and a relationship, if you agree, you will succeed, if you don't agree, you will break up, can you still hold your head and not allow them to break up?Aunt Lianhua, who is tough, has nothing to do.

Of course, Cheng Yu was not stupid enough to directly confess the truth to his mother and the old neighbors watching the fun in the courtyard: his relationship with Ye Yutong was far closer than that with Luo Zhan.He and Luo Zhan have hugged, kissed, naked, and slept in the same bed!

Cheng Yu made up his mind to break up with Teacher Ye, the direct reason was that he messed up the dinner with the other's parents, and felt that he was so sorry for him, and the long-term pain was better than the short-term pain, but it was not entirely because of the chaos last night.

He scratched his head and made a deep introspection. What Luo Zhan said about cutting him before was absolutely right, and it hit the nail on the head.He didn't understand the matter of feelings, and he couldn't figure it out.The night in Beihai was just the last straw that overwhelmed the farce of the blind date.

Does he love Teacher Ye?

Don't talk about love or not, there is no such thing as a heavy word.The two had no relationship foundation from the beginning, and they got on a blind date just to satisfy their parents and neighbors in the courtyard, as if they wished to complete a task. Every meal tasted like a routine report to the police inspector at the end of the year, Cheng Yu wrote A report was handed in, and the inspector reviewed the questions one by one. The other party asked Cheng Yu a question, and finally gave a few comments, typed out a post assessment score, and then handed over to the superior of the branch office.

In this way, we will finally step into the siege of marriage. Don't say I am sorry for Mr. Ye, can I be worthy of myself?

Trying to cultivate a relationship with Mr. Ye, he can still try reluctantly, but being pushed, forced, even coaxed into such a marriage, it feels like a prisoner sitting in court unwillingly As if waiting for the verdict to be pronounced, the judge slammed down the hammer and sentenced us to indefinite term, depriving us of freedom and rights for life, and then we have to fulfill the contract of this lifetime. Is this the life I want to live?That's not the case...

In Luo Zhan's words, falling in love is not the way you talk about it. Cheng Yu, you have never loved anyone, and you have not figured it out!Delay others, also delay yourself!

Under the siege and persuasion of a group of people, Cheng Yu's mind was extremely firm, but he did not let go.

Li Lianhua asked angrily: "Cheng Yu, tell me the truth, do you have someone else in your heart? If you have someone else who is better, my aunt will stop talking nonsense with you!"

Cheng Yu was silent for a while, and could only say, "No."

Li Lianhua said: "You don't have a date and you don't have anyone else, are you planning to be single for the rest of your life?!"

Cheng Yu bit his lip and didn't speak.

What he was thinking about at this moment was Luo Zhan, but he couldn't let out any of these words, so he could only carry them on his own.You have to pass this threshold sooner or later, and walking through it like this is like a prisoner in the old society parading through the streets with his shackles on his back. Everyone shouts and beats them, and collects a basket of rotten vegetables and leaves.

Li Lianhua is used to Cheng Yu's non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, and she can't stand this kind of ruthlessness, and said angrily: "Cheng Yu, you child is too stubborn and ignorant, you just wait for a lifetime without being able to marry a wife No one wants you!!!"

Cheng Yu's heart was also on fire, and he said stubbornly: "I'm living a good life alone now, why do I have to find someone to marry?!"

These words made Aunt Cheng very worried. There was almost no hope in this life, and her blood pressure surged up.

Aunt Cheng knows her son's temper best.Cheng Yu has an idea, he doesn't say it, he knows it in his heart, let alone this time he expresses his position clearly.No matter how depressed and distressed the old lady was, with headaches and heartaches, she could only watch her well-matched partner fall through the cracks again.

Ye Yutong is Xiaojiabiyu from a typical intellectual family.Such a suitable girl can't get along with Cheng Yu, who else can Cheng Yu look for in the future?

Aunt Cheng was thinking about her son's past blind date partners, flower shops, insurance salesmen, salespersons in boutiques, white-collar workers in foreign companies, technicians in state-owned enterprises, and this female middle school teacher... Aunt Cheng Counting her fingers, her son has never been close to a rich woman, and he has never met a rich and powerful person.

Is there still time for a rich woman?

Come on, with Cheng Yu's cold and stubborn temper, he himself has to be willing to serve the rich woman!

Cheng Yu called Ye's parents, apologized earnestly, and then made a final appointment with Ye Yutong.

Cheng Yu was very tactful and polite, saying that he had a lot of things recently, and he was extremely unsuitable to talk about his partner's marriage, and he didn't want to delay the other party any longer. Please forgive me, Teacher Ye, and let's break up.

Ye Yutong came prepared, neither in a hurry nor annoyed, let alone making trouble with Cheng Yu.Cheng Yu's happy attitude of agreeing to break up made her think more clearly.

Ye Yutong asked: "Cheng Yu, have you been dissatisfied with me from the very beginning?"

Cheng Yu shook his head quickly: "No, you are fine, but I am too bad..."

Ye Yutong, a smart girl who was directly issued a good person card, also understood that there was nothing worth redeeming.She was very disappointed in her heart, maintained her demeanor on the surface very well, and said with a smile: "Cheng Yu, in fact, I could see that you have always been indifferent to me, it doesn't seem like that..."

Cheng Yu: "..."

Is it cold?When a man and a woman fall in love, it’s normal to be intimate, cuddly, cuddly, and longing for each other, right?Cheng Yu himself felt that there was something wrong with him. He never had any desire for Mr. Ye. The most profound memory in his memory over the years was when he was intoxicated physically and mentally, and had an affair with Luo Zhan that night after drinking... As for the aftertaste and experience in dreams again and again, the wonderful taste lingers and lingers.

Ye Yutong pretended to ask casually: "Cheng Yu, do you have someone else in your heart?"

Cheng Yu was speechless.

A hint of sadness appeared in Ye Yutong's eyes: "Cheng Yu, you don't like my type. You like another kind of person. There is another person in your heart. Why don't you dare to admit it..."

Cheng Yu didn't even bother to listen to what Teacher Ye had to say.He stared blankly at the dish in front of him, and suddenly realized that the dish was roasted eggplant with fish sauce.

The eggplant was burnt until the skin was burnt and the flesh was soft, and the heat was not bad, but Cheng Yu could tell the difference.His appetite has been cultivated and he can't cook, but he can eat now.

The chef of this shop, the sweet and sour sauce is not enough vinegar, sweet and sweet, too much water and starch, the taste is sticky, not smooth enough; and this shop does not have the special skill of Luo Zhan's secret marinade Meat, delicious, spicy, chewy, crisp, that kind of taste is Cheng Yu's rarest bite!

Because of this incident, Aunt Lianhua had been angry with Cheng Yu for a long time, and it was not until the end of the new year that she recovered.Every time she sees Cheng Yu, she rolls her eyes angrily and ignores him.

This is the case with being a matchmaker. If it works, everyone will be happy;Aunt Cheng also felt very sorry for Li Lianhua, she couldn't lift her head when she saw her old neighbors in the yard who had been with her for many years.

In the midwinter season, the radiators were so hot that they burned white smoke on the window panes.

Cheng Yu took a basin of water and put it on the radiator to make a fake humidifier.

There is a row of Chinese cabbage on the bottom of the wall outside the window, which is frozen hard, and there are bunches of small ice scum on the leaves of the fresh green cabbage.Now life is gradually getting better. Vegetable farmers in the suburbs use heated greenhouses to grow vegetables, and there are plenty of vegetables in the vegetable markets and supermarkets in Beijing in winter.However, these old people in the courtyard who are used to living a simple life are still used to storing cheap Chinese cabbage for the winter.

There are two small earthen jars in the corner of the room, which are tightly sealed. They are sauerkraut pickled by Aunt Cheng, and they are ready to be eaten on New Year's Day.

Aunt Cheng took antihypertensive drugs, leaned on the quilt to meditate, tossed and turned, and couldn't help calling Cheng Yu: "Son, come here."

Cheng Yu obediently took a stool and sat by the bed.

Aunt Cheng looked worried: "Son, Mom hasn't talked to you for a long time... Tell me, what's on your mind?"

Cheng Yu lowered his eyes and muttered, "I didn't think much about it."

Aunt Cheng: "Hey, what's in our hearts that we girls can't say? Have you fallen in love with someone else? Bring back whoever you like. Mom will give you the palm of your hand. I'm sure!"

Cheng Yu shook his head lightly: "No."

Aunt Cheng acted very open-minded: "Mom won't object to whomever you like. If you find someone from the suburbs and rural areas like Huazi in your school, Mom will have no objection. If he is a good person and treats you well, it will be fine." ,real!"

Cheng Yu: "..."

Can you tell the truth?Cheng Yu thought to himself, if he brings Luo Zhan back and tells his mother that this is the man, please hold my eyes for me, is this guy sincere, can you accept this "daughter-in-law", my mother will not let her go go.

Aunt Cheng's voice was a little choked up, and she wiped the corners of her eyes: "Cough, you child, are you single for the rest of your life? Then if I'm gone, who will serve you and take care of you?"

Cheng Yu felt uncomfortable like a needle prick in his heart, as if he owed everyone and felt guilty, but when he turned his head and thought about it again, in fact, he was the one who struggled and struggled the most in the middle, and he couldn't help himself.

Cheng Yu lowered his head, bit his lips fiercely, and said for a while, "Mom, I really don't want to just get married like this and find someone to make do with.

"Marriage should be when two people have a relationship, a very deep relationship, a matter of course, just like you and my dad before, how good we are... I also want to find someone I like like my dad loves you , I really want to take care of the girl for the rest of my life, but I don't feel that way..."

Aunt Cheng told Cheng Yu to speak, and tears fell down, and she kept wiping away with a small handkerchief.

When Cheng Yu's father was alive, he rode a bicycle to work in Guozijian Street every day, and worked as an administrator of ancient books in the Capital Library for more than 20 years.

When he got off work every night in summer, there were two vegetable pockets hanging from the handlebars of his bicycle, and a large watermelon was tucked in the back seat of the bicycle.Entering the courtyard and looking into the small kitchen, Cheng Yu's mother must be making lentil cold noodles and eggplant noodles for her husband and son in the small kitchen.

Later, Cheng Yu was admitted to No. [-] Middle School, riding a bicycle for a long distance to and from school every day, self-studying early and evening, going out in the dark in the morning in winter, and returning home in the dark at night, he worked hard and was sensible.

Cheng Yu's father had a cough and shortness of breath for a while, and then suddenly fell ill.Into the hospital for a check, lung cancer.Working in the library all the year round, it may be an occupational disease. I spent all day looking up ancient books and compiling catalogs and files in the dark and moldy basement reference room. I inhaled carcinogenic dust and contracted lung disease.

He spent a lot of money on hospitalization and treatment, and his family was almost wiped out.

When Cheng Yu's father had only a few days left, he called his son over, held hands and said quietly: "Son, I will tell you a little secret, you have to remember it well, don't forget it for me.

"In your grandfather's small study room, there is a mezzanine under the mahogany desk. I also hid a passbook. Our family actually has money... Don't tell your mother, she will be in a hurry if you tell her." I took out all the money in a panic and gave it to the hospital. I want to leave some money for her. Cheng Yu, you can tell her after a while, understand? Don’t let her treat the mahogany table as a waste product. sold me...

"The password is my anniversary with your mother. She knows it and can guess it..."

Cheng Yu's mother later took out the passbook from the gap in the small desk, held it, and sat in the small room all day.She nagged as if talking to herself: "Why did you leave me such a passbook?

"The money is still there, but the people are gone.

"The man who loved me the most in my life is gone..."
