Don't suffer Lao Tzu

"you....."

"Marry me or something, it's awkward to say, it's better to be together forever." Shen Qing looked at Tang Shiyi.

Tang Shiyi sorted out his emotions, nodded solemnly, "Actually, anything is fine, as long as it's you."

The two smiled at each other.

"I put it on for you." Shen Qing said, "If you put it on, you will be mine."

"It's been a long time ago." Tang Shiyi smiled and stretched out his left hand.

Shen Qing took out one and put it on Tang Shiyi's hand. It was just the right size.

"This... you did it." Tang Shixi carefully looked at the ring.

"Well, there are words on it." Shen Qing put on her own, leaned over to Tang Shiyi and pointed.

Tang Shixi put the ring in front of him and turned it half a circle. There were six small characters engraved on it.

young boy, old friend

Tang Shiyi stroked the six words, feeling indescribably touched and delighted.

"Mine too, look." Shen Qing raised her hand and held it in front of Tang Shiyi.

Tang Shiyi sniffed, "You wrote it?"

"Yeah." Shen Qing nodded, "Take it off when you go to school, and put it on when you can wear it... Am I too anxious?"

"No...it's pretty good."

All the emotions surged into his mouth, Tang Shixi kept repeating "It's very good... very good..."

"Go home, Wei Meng should be ordering dumplings by now." Shen Qing stood up and reached out to Tang Shishi.

Tang Shiyi held onto Shen Qing, and was dragged up by Shen Qing, "Sister Wei...will you make dumplings? Why am I a little worried?"

"Should be, I might be able to catch up with the full meal if I go back earlier." Shen Qing said with a smile.

The two walked away holding hands.

"Come back!" Wei Meng put the last plate of dumplings on the table, and the tops of their heads were white.

"It's snowing outside." Shen Qing said as she helped Tang Shiyi sweep the snow off her body.

"Wait." The Weimeng runway bathroom took two towels and handed them to them.

"Thank you." Tang Shixi took it and put it on his head.

"Warm up for a while, then eat dumplings." Wei Meng took off his apron and handed them slippers.

"Thank you." Tang Shixi said.

"Don't thank me, we're all a family, so you're welcome." Wei Meng said.

Tang Shixi smiled and hummed.

While eating dumplings and watching the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala, the hosts on TV gave blessing speeches one after another.

As the countdown number turned to zero, the crackling of firecrackers and fireworks sounded outside the window, and the streets were bustling with activity.

"Happy Chinese New Year, sister" the two agreed tacitly.

"Happy Chinese New Year." Wei Meng smiled the happiest, stood up and walked into the house.

Tang Shiyi glanced at Shen Qing suspiciously.

In a few seconds, Wei Meng came out again, with two more red envelopes in his hand.

"Here, the New Year's money." Wei Meng handed it to the two of them.

"Thank you, sister." Shen Qing took it with a smile.

Seeing that Shen Qing accepted it, Tang Shiyi also accepted it with a smile, "Thank you sister."

"Study hard." Wei Meng said.

"Yes."

Tang Shiyi glanced at his phone while the siblings were talking, and sent a happy new year to Tang's parents and Tang's mother, and wished Zhang Jun a new year.

"Happy New Year Dad, it's another year to be a son!" Zhang Jun replied.

"Happy Chinese New Year son." Father Tang replied, followed by a large transfer.

Tang Shiyi counted twice, and there were indeed four zeros, "Thank you Dad!"

After receiving the money, he felt very happy, and sent Zhang Jun a red envelope of 0.88 in return.

Zhang Jun: "..."

"You guys watch the replay, I'm sleepy, go to sleep." Wei Meng yawned and walked into the house, "Today's sketches are quite interesting."

"Got it." Shen Qing said as she picked up a bite of dumpling and put it in her mouth.

"Are you going to retest soon?" Tang Shixi asked.

"It's early, March." Shen Qing said.

"Oh, I'm going to serve some soup." Tang Shiyi stood up with a bowl in his hand, walked to the kitchen and saw a plate of "dumpling cakes" that couldn't be seen as dumplings, poked his head out and gently called Shen Qing over.

Shen Qing put down her chopsticks, and the rebroadcast on TV started, full of beauties.

"Look at this." Tang Shixi picked up a plate of broken dumplings.

"I just said that it's unrealistic that the dumplings are complete. I dare to hide them." Shen Qing leaned against the door and shook her head helplessly.

"Then... have you eaten?" Tang Shixi shook, the meat stuffing mixed with the dough trembling.

"Let's put it here, and cook it again tomorrow." Shen Qing said.

"Wait a while." Shen Qing turned around and pulled out a plastic bag from the cabinet to prop it open, "Pour it in and give it to Xiao She."

Tang Shiyi froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

The two of them tinkered in the kitchen, turned off the TV, put on their clothes and went downstairs quietly, and entered the hospital through the back door.

"It's so dark..." Tang Shixi said to himself.

"Wait a minute, I'll look for a lamp." Shen Qing felt her clothes being grabbed, and said patiently.

"Ah."

As soon as the light was turned on, I heard the sound of the shack in the house.

The two walked into the house and let Xiao She out.

Xiao She frantically wagged her tail and walked around the two of them before she understood the situation.

Tang Shiyi took out the food bowl and poured the still warm dumplings into it. Xiao She asked first, and immediately started to gobble it up.

"Why does it taste so delicious..." Tang Shiyi said with a smile.

"En." Shen Qing gently hugged Tang Shiyi from behind.

"My mother said, the dumplings you made are delicious..." Shen Qing said softly.

"You told auntie about me???" Tang Shiyi looked back at Shen Qing.

"Well, she knows you exist, and she wants to meet you... don't worry, take your time after you take the college entrance examination." Shen Qing said.

"Okay, I'll go see my aunt after the college entrance examination." Tang Shiyi said with a smile.

"She promised me that she will receive treatment after this matter is resolved." Shen Qing said, resting her chin on Tang Shiyi's shoulder.

"...everything has changed for the better." Tang Shishi looked at Xiao She, whose head had been buried in the food bowl for a month and a half.

"Hmm..." Shen Qing's snorting snort was very attractive.

"Have you decided what major to take the exam?" Shen Qing asked.

"...Let's learn geology, I have enough." Tang Shixi said confidently.

Shen Qing smiled and said nothing.

"I'm still very interested in these things. When I was at the racecourse, I kept running into the mountains and was caught several times. Later, I saw that there were real wild boars, so I never ran around again." Tang Shiyi said. He smiled as well, he might not be suitable for the noisy city, and it would be nice to think about working in the mountains and rivers for a lifetime.

"Maybe the wild boar is also startled." Shen Qing said.

"....It's also in W City, so we can be closer." Tang Shixi whispered, and Xiaoshe had also finished eating at the moment, and walked out, leaving two people in the hut.

"Really?" Shen Qing's eyes lit up.

"Well, but my score is only enough for admission now. If I can reach the score of geology, I have to help me." Tang Shiyi felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his poor Chinese and slightly improved English, but for the sake of To be able to live in the same city as Shen Qing and to live the life I want is also a struggle.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Shen Qing nodded, "Leave it to me."

"Okay." Tang Shixi said with a smile.

"October! Wake up! The school newsletter just sent by the teacher said to gather earlier!" Tang Ma's voice pierced through the door and entered Tang Shiyi's ears.

Tang Shiyi turned over and slowly opened his eyes.

Today is the [-]-day swearing-in, and it happened to be Saturday, and it was even more unfortunate that Shen Qing was not there, so he should have arrived in W City by now.

Standing up, there was still a booklet of English vocabulary that I hadn't finished memorizing beside my pillow, which was specially tailored for me by Shen Qing, and they were all confusing words, synonyms, and various derivatives that I couldn't remember clearly.

"Come on—" Tang Shiyi dragged his body out of his body, stared at a bird's nest and opened the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Tang's mother walking up and down in a red cheongsam embroidered with gold silk peonies, looking dignified.

"You...why..." Tang Shiyi mentioned that the Hundred Days Pledge requires parents to attend together, who would have thought of this.

"How about it? It's hard for me to make an appearance, so I can't embarrass you." Tang Ma walked around in a circle, showing off her figure.

Tang Shiyi stared at the legs exposed under the cheongsam, "Aren't you cold?"

"Bare-legged artifact, what do you know?" Tang Ma flipped her hair and clapped her hands, "Honey! Come out and let your son see it!"

As soon as the words fell, Father Tang came out of the bedroom, wearing a retro robe, a long white scarf draped neatly on his shoulders, leather shoes on the floor making a crisp and pleasant sound, and wearing a pair of sunglasses under a black top hat, with his own BGM on stage man.

"Go, Shanghai Beach?" Tang Shiyi looked at the two cosplayers in front of him having a good time, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Your mother chose it, son." Father Tang took off his sunglasses with aggrieved expression on his face.

"Hey hey hey! I got your consent, okay, let's talk about it! It's not good-looking!" Tang Ma pinched her waist.

"Looks good." Tang's father immediately admitted, "The point is, isn't the main character today Eleven, we two are too flamboyant." As he spoke, he winked at Tang Eleven.

Tang Shiyi immediately came to the rescue, "Yes, yes, yes, I am the protagonist, listen to me, and change to someone who is a little more low-key. You see, when this long leg shows off, it will all be up to you."

"I still have a cloak, alas.... that's fine, I'll wear it when you take the college entrance examination." Tang Ma said, dragging the tiny Tang Papa back to the house to continue the transformation.

Tang Shiyi sighed and laughed helplessly.

Such a good life.

After washing up, Tang's mother and Tang's father changed into normal clothes, sat in the hall, ate melon seeds and watched TV.

"Sister Wang! I have to iron my cheongsam before putting it away!" Tang Ma looked at Aunt Wang.

"Okay, I'll fix it for you in a while." Aunt Wang was happily working, wiping around with a rag, muttering, "It's so fast, Congcong is about to take the college entrance examination."

Tang Shixi wiped his face and walked out with a smile.

Back in the house, I took the phone and took a photo from a good angle, and sent it to Shenqing.

--picture

--Let's go!

A few seconds later, Shen Qing also sent a picture, which was the main entrance of the university.

--It's time for an interview.

Tang Shixi sat on the bed and quickly replied,

--So early?

--No, first find a place to read a book and get ready.

Tang Shiyi smiled and typed in his hand

---Come on duck, waiting for your good news.

---The same to you.

---(hug)

---(hug)(hug)

"Have you cleaned it up!" Tang Ma shouted.

"Here we come!" Tang Shiyi grabbed his coat and walked out the door. The old couple had changed their shoes and stood at the door.

"Hurry up." Tang Ma urged.

Tang Shiyi put on his shoes right away, "No, it's my swearing-in teacher, not you, so why worry."

"Once in a lifetime, your dad and I can't miss it again this time." Tang Ma took out the mirror to confirm again.

Tang's father looked at Tang's mother smiling without saying a word, with love in his eyes.

Tang Shiyi sighed, moved.

"Let's go, the gathering is at the gate of the medical department, right?" Tang's father put his arms around Tang's mother,

"En." Tang Shixi nodded.

The school's [-]-day swearing-in is borrowed from the student hall of the University of Medical Sciences, which has been going on for many years.

"Where's Shen Qing? Is he at school?" Tang Ma asked casually.

"He went to W City for an interview." Tang Shiyi said, he didn't know when Tang's father talked about himself and Shen Qing, and Tang's mother's ability to accept was beyond his imagination, she was extremely calm, and occasionally asked about Shen Qing's recent situation , As for how much father Tang spent talking about it, Tang Shishi didn't know.

"There is still an interview for the postgraduate entrance examination?" Tang's mother was a little surprised.Tang Shiyi looked at Tang's mother silently, "The retest is not as difficult as the written test, and it's basically done."

"Then where are you going to take the exam?" Tang Ma asked.

"University of Geosciences is also in W City." Tang Shishi did not hesitate.

The couple looked at each other, they probably didn't expect Tang Shiyi to make his own decision.

Tang's mother said first, "If you choose, work hard, if you can't, come back and run the horse farm with your father."

"You are really..." Tang Shiyi smiled helplessly, "They always encourage their children and force them to take this test and that test. Why are you so Buddhist?"

As soon as the elevator door opened, the cold wind poured in.

When the three of them walked out of the corridor, Tang's mother put away Tang's father's collar and looked at Tang Shishi, "What else can I do? I'm afraid that you will suffer and suffer."

Tang Shiyi glanced at his parents. It seemed that for a moment, the years made people old, and the scars of the world's wind and rain were carved on their parents, but they still moved forward with tenacity.

Tang Shiyi also knew at this moment where his aggressiveness and stubbornness came from.

"If you don't endure hardships, you won't grow up. Don't worry." Tang Shiyi said with a smile.

Tang's mother and Tang's father didn't know what to say for a while, especially Tang's mother, don't open your eyes, your eyes are red.

"Let's go, the driver is waiting." Father Tang patted Mother Tang on the back.

"Parents are asked to sit in the back row and on the second floor." The grade director began to arrange seats. The school uniforms of more than 800 people in front of the first floor of the auditorium are as white as new. Looking at them from a distance, they are refreshing and neat. In a sense, the visuals are inspiring to the army.

Tang Shiyi and Zhang Jun sat together, and the vacant seat on the right was for Sui Siying, who had just been called away by Zhang Lili to arrange for the leader to speak.

"I just saw Brother Tao in the background." Zhang Jun said.

"Ah? Why is he here?" Tang Shixi was puzzled.

"I don't know, it should be a sound system, look!" Zhang Jun pouted on the stage immediately.

Tang Shiyi looked over and saw that Jiang Tao was also in formal attire, discussing something with another teacher, with a serious face, which was too serious, which made Tang Shiyi and Zhang Jun who were familiar with him happy.

Sure enough, the next second, the teacher walked away, and Jiang Tao took a glance at Tang Shiyi and Zhang Jun sitting in the second row, and gave them a mean wink.

"It's so coquettish..." Zhang Jun smiled shyly and bowed his head.

Tang Shiyi waved his hands with a smile, and looked around.
