245. The first exhausting challenge(1/2)

246. Is the backyard fire caught?

The spring in Yuezhou comes almost when people are ready.

Even a coastal city with an amazing development speed, in the corners of this city, there is still greenness of mud and warm sand everywhere. The camphor tree has just begun to fall leaves, the ground is covered with reddish brown, and the newly-launched buds shine with a soft and jade-like brilliance in the sun. The taller sycamore tree is not so eye-catching, with white fluff on the tender leaves, and even without mist and rain, it is still hazy.

Jiang Nan was bored and turned her pen in her hand. This was the time for the third class. The first-year high school students didn't need to be nervous enough to use every minute and every second in school to fight against the test questions.

Just like now, Luo Mengzi in the front row is looking through a book with relish, without having to verify the content of the book, just glance at the girl's focused and happy expression, and you can assert without hesitation that it is undoubtedly an extracurricular book.

It is likely that it is a pocket romance book, with most young girls with their eyes shining after reading it, and a bloody and stingy plot that can satisfy them.

But when Luo Mengzi turned slightly, Jiang Nan scanned the content of the book. It was a comic, a familiar style. What else could it be if it wasn't "State"?

When Jiang Nan saw "State", the first thing she thought of was not something else, but the bastard who skipped classes for almost a month. To be precise, it was still 5 days away...4 and a half days, and it was a whole month.

However, since the start of this semester, Yang Yi has not come to the class many times. Even after coming, he went to He Yue to show his presence and rarely met his classmates.

Logically speaking, for today's young boys and girls, the frequency of time and daily contact is the most important factor affecting two people - mainly between the opposite sex.

With long-term separation, even the best friends will feel alienated, not to mention the little men and women whose relationship has not yet been identified.

But this principle seems to be unsatisfactory for Jiang Nan. Although Yang Yi rarely comes to school, his influence is everywhere, from birthday parties in early March to work competitions. Even though these days have passed, those comic books that have been circulating among classmates, and when girls call friends from time to time, they say, "Then go shopping in Yunshu City, and see if Faye Wong's new album comes out first." They remind Jiang Nan that even though that boy is not by her, he has his shadow anytime and anywhere.

Has the influence of this young man reached this level without realizing it?

"Hey, murmur." Guo Na in the back row poked Jiang Nan, awakening her from her thoughts. Then the art committee member begged to be close: "Why are you stupid? The weekend after tomorrow, we went to Yunshu City to stroll around. I heard that there was an event there, and many things were discounted. I don't know if it included the audio-visual area, and I have been thinking about that Aihua Walkman for a long time. If it was discounted this time, I would buy it."

Guo Na's look of enthusiasm attracted several listeners. Jiang Nan has now been arranged to have a new deskmate, a boy who had just transferred from Ning Chao not far away last week. This boy was obviously quite secretly happy to be able to sit next to Jiang Nan. He usually uses excuses to chat with girls regardless of whether he has anything to do, but he dare not be too radical in the face of Jiang Nan's clear and quiet smile.

Now that Guo Na has started to talk, he quickly turned around and interrupted: "Ah, you are going to the bookstore on the weekend, why not together? There are a lot of things there and there are all the facilities next to you. I agree to go there."

Perhaps this boy is ambitious about Jiang Nan, but he doesn't seem to be the kind of young young boy who is rushing around. Whether he usually takes the opportunity to chat with him by his homework or "campaign encounters" in the corridor playground, he seems natural and casual. Compared with those boys who can see the intention of slapping flowers at a glance, his methods are not bad, so even Jiang Nan's close friend Le Fei can't feel annoying.

Not to mention other girls who have a higher relationship with Jiang Nan, there are even many girls who secretly talk about this boy as a topic.

At this time, Guo Na was undoubtedly very happy when she heard him agreeing with her opinion, but then she said curiously: "No, do you know Yunshu City too? How long have you been here, it's less than ten days."

If someone is questioned like this, no one will be happy. However, when Guo Na asked this, she just put a step up. The boy smiled and said, "Yuezhou Yunshu City is so famous, there must be not many people who don't know. Besides, when I was in Ningchao last year, I also came here a few times and even got a VIP card. When you look at things, you can buy them for me and have a discount."

"Ah, you also have VIP card." Guo Na was excited and had a girl's face fantasized: "If Aihua's Walkman was discounted, plus your VIP card, it wouldn't it save a lot of money."

"Where are you, Jiang Nan, why don't you come together, you can save a lot after the discount." The boy looked at Jiang Nan with a smile, and asked casually, but the expectation in his eyes could not be concealed.

Jiang Nanran smiled and said apologetically: "Sorry, my mother is coming back this week, and I will be with her at home."

"Ah, your mother? On your last birthday, I didn't seem to see my aunt. Did she work in another place?" Guo Na couldn't help but talk, and quickly diverted her attention: "Hey, I murmured that you are just like your father, and you are all very busy. However, there are not many activities in the bookstore, and you have discounts and VIP cards. There are not many opportunities. It would be a pity if you don't go."

"Yes, it's a pity not to go for the opportunity to discount the discount." The boy tried not to let his mind be too obvious, but as a senior student, he had not been able to completely hide the sense of superiority brought by having VIP cards that his classmates did not have.

"Fei Fei also has VIP cards. If I want to use it, I'd better find her." Jiang Nan smiled slightly. In fact, there is no need to mention Le Fei, how could she not have VIP cards from Yunshu City? Yang Yi gave her only one hundred diamond-shaped VIP cards.

It’s just that the girl has the intention of a girl. She regards this card as a secret between the two, so she naturally won’t talk much to irrelevant people.

After Jiang Nan gave this reason, Guo Na stopped talking. Speaking of which, Lefei and Guo Na are both easy to get along with. One is smart and the other is extroverted and generous, but the encounter between people is so strange. Two good people may not be able to become friends. Anyway, Guo Na and Lefei dislike each other, and neither of them can explain the reason, which can only be explained as being born with a disagreement of horoscopes.

So Guo Na naturally stopped persuading, and the boy who was still waiting for Guo Na to continue to work hard was also disappointed.

...

If the spring in the campus is bright and lively, then the old houses hidden deep in the alleys in the southern part are not as light as drizzle as March, but the blue bricks, black tiles and white walls are still indescribable and beautiful. Perhaps the originally dark lighting of these old houses, or the narrow and dilapidated wooden stairs, or the dark mold eroded by plum rain and moisture, all of which are incompatible with the new world outside, but fascinating old days.

At this time, moss was already spreading under the wall, occupying the old land of last year, and the swallows' nests under the eaves. I don't know when black and white birds were passing by, passing by the bamboo pole where clothes were drying outside the window.

The boundaries between the sun and the shadows behind the high walls are so clear that the children's innocent voices of laughter are long and they pass through many heavy alleys.

At this time, Su Wan's home has become the favorite gathering place for nearby neighbors. A square table is placed in the hall, and the sound of mahjong collision can be heard for an afternoon.

Because the house has been renovated, unlike other old alley residents, the labyrinth-like tortuous layout and the living room with dark light and no distinction between day and afternoon are spacious and bright.

Moreover, Su Wan's mother had no job at all, and after her daughter made a fortune, she became a full-time sissman. She just wanted to make her baby girl free of worries and be able to paint happily.

Su's mother has long forgotten the anxiety and doubts about her daughter giving up her studies and focusing on making money.

For their generation, after experiencing a life of hardship and poverty, money is definitely not meaningless data, but represents delicious food, warm clothes and quilts, and the envious eyes of others. All of these things are enough to constitute a reason she cannot refuse - to let her daughter do what she wants, that's it.

"Mom Su Wan, you are enjoying your life now. The girl is so capable. When I went shopping for vegetables in the morning, I saw several little kids, with Su Yatou's paintings in my hands." An aunt touched a card and quickly played one. Her words were full of envy and she was so thick that she drowned the whole house: "You said this book is more than ten yuan. I read the newspaper and said that the girl's paintings were sold for more than ten thousand and tens of thousands of copies. How much does it cost to add up?"

Su Wan's mother waved her hand quickly. Although it was pleasant to be envied, it was not her intention to attract people to hold grudges. If she didn't explain it clearly to these neighbors now, there would be rumors that her girl Su Wan earned millions a day tomorrow: "Hey, Sister Wang, you're wrong. This money is not Wanwan's own. She just took a small head, and the royalty was only a little over 10%. If a book is sold for ten yuan, she could get one."

"That adds up to more than 100,000 yuan." Another older mother-in-law couldn't help but interrupt.

Su's mother smiled proudly and carefully: "Highlights of tens of thousands look much better, but in fact it's just that. I know what she will look like in the future. It's not a lifetime for me to draw such a baby book."

"Oh, why are you still going to spend your whole life? Could it be that you still want to support yourself?" The aunt who spoke at the beginning said, "Just earn enough of your pension expenses and get a dowry money. Girls, you can't ask too much."

"That's right, my eldest grandson has been studying in college for two years. He is also an intellectual. What's the use of reading so many books? It's really a bottomless pit. Not to mention making money like Wanwan, we don't expect it. It's good to spend less. Tuition and living expenses are 10,000 or 20,000 a year. That's really unbearable. Half of the time has passed, and there are still two years left. There will be money to get married in the future, but I don't know where it will be?"

"He must have earned the money for starting a family by himself. Do you also have to pay for it?" Aunt Wang gave the grandmother a blank look: "The girl's family earns money to support her family by herself. A boy, you are so spoiled."

"That's right, if we really have no money, we adults have to find a way." The mother-in-law sighed and returned to Su Wan: "It's better to have a girl, that's true."

At this time, the last neighbor who didn't speak suddenly laughed and said, "Mom Su Wan, I have seen your girl several times, and it seems that she is in and out with a boy. She is the one who often comes by in a car. The two little guys have a different relationship."

As soon as these words were said, several people showed curious expressions at the same time. Aunt Wang suddenly woke up and kept saying "Ohhh": "I remembered it too. The last time those reporters and readers and fans, wasn't it the boy who came here when they didn't leave? Oh, yes, what's the relationship between the two little guys? Let me tell you, your girl is rich now and has a beautiful birth, so don't be targeted by some messy people."

Seeing that these card friends were getting less and less talkative, Su's mother quickly explained: "No, no, that's Su Wan's classmate. We, Su Wan, made this comic, was introduced and arranged by him."

Originally, Su's mother said this because Yang Yi was the benefactor of the mother and daughter. Su's mother, who was honest and simple by nature, was unwilling to be the one who helped her child and was misunderstood to be a person with bad intentions. But she didn't expect that her words would have the opposite effect.

"No, that kid introduced you Wanwan to do this comic?" The last neighbor was a dumb man, but when he opened his mouth, he always said that he was on the vital point: "Then, he has a background, otherwise how could a kid introduce and arrange this relationship for someone? Your kid has already found a rich son-in-law."

The few people started to make fun together, and now they didn't care about the cards anymore. They all glowed their eyes and were judging Yang Yi's origin and identity, which made Su's mother a little unable to resist.

This housewife, who had only taken less than half a year from poverty to wealth, was concealed and casually looking for topics to deal with things, while thinking about her thoughts absent-mindedly. The two children seemed to stand shoulder to shoulder in front of her, and they were very stunning. However, such a young man and woman would have to experience countless storms in the future. Now, we are talking about the issue of being together. Are you thinking too early?

Just as Su's mother was thinking, a man and a woman stood at the door at some point. The man looked around and knocked on the door politely.

Several people stopped their movements and mouths at the same time and turned their heads together. Since Su Wan exposed it on New Year's Day last year, all kinds of people visiting in their old alley have risen sharply. Sometimes, the children coming in groups are almost enough to get to the number of people in one class. These people came to find Su Wan without exception.

"May I ask, is this Miss Su Wansu's home?" The man stopped at a table and asked with a smile.

Several neighbors were used to the uninvited guests who suddenly visited, so they stopped at this time, with the "well-trained" ones drinking tea and going to the bathroom to the bathroom, even if it was a break in the card game.

Anyway, these people will leave after a while.

But this time, they seemed to have guessed the purpose of these two people wrongly. After getting Su Wan’s mother's affirmation, the man stepped forward enthusiastically: "Oh, it turns out that you are Miss Su Wan's mother. Fortunately, I'll finally find you."

"Two are you..." Su Mu's vision and knowledge can be considered to have grown rapidly in the past six months, but there are rarely such times. One of the people who come to the door is counted as one, and they all look for her daughter Su Wan, either asking for an autograph or asking for a photo. Now someone suddenly popped up and said that she had finally found her, which made Su Mu a little confused about the situation.

After the man said this, several neighbors realized that they had something to come to the door, and they all said goodbye with a wink. Only then did Su's mother have time to pour tea for the visitor.

"Are you two here to find my girl, or..."

"I'm looking for Miss Su Wan, but I'm also here to visit you." Although the visitor spoke Mandarin, it was obviously different from Wu Yue's soft voice, and it looked a bit like a person from the Demon City. Su's mother was stunned when she heard this, and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"That's right, let me introduce myself. I am Qin Pi from Dingchen Cartoon, and we have come to our company last time and have come into contact with Miss Su Wan." Qin Pi smiled very kindly, but if Yang Yi or Rogo were here, he could see through it at a glance, and the most obvious professional smile.

However, Su's mother's past life experience and the people with the highest social status that she has come into contact with are just mothers and mothers of the neighborhood committee, so she naturally can't see through it. She only felt that the imposing boss was very kind, so she apologized: "Sorry, I basically don't care much about my girl's affairs, she is dealing with it myself."

"Oh? But Miss Su Wan should not be eighteen years old yet, right?" The young woman following Qin Pi smiled and followed her to the bottom of the story, but she had some accusations inside and out.

Su's mother didn't know how to explain it at once, and thought to herself that she was kind enough to be the boss. Why did this little girl look no older than her daughter, but she spoke uncomfortable.

However, the visitor was a guest, and she couldn't compete with others in these details, so she laughed embarrassedly: "This, I really can't talk about my girl's affairs anyway. If the two of you came to her, then wait a moment, and they will be back soon."

They? Qin Pi keenly captured this number word, thinking to himself that the little boy named Yang Yi was also with him. If he was really that boy, his plan would inevitably be ruined again this time.

He is a person who is used to being a boss. Although his style of conduct is criticized, he is not just about taking advantage of it. He can also put down his posture when it is time to put down his posture: "It doesn't matter, we'll just wait for a while, but has Mama Su really had no effect on our Dingchen animation?"

Su's mother nodded embarrassedly: "There are too many people coming to find Su Wan now. I just serve water and tea for them. If there is anything, the girl is talking to them..."

"Oh, that's it." Qin Pi was still smiling, but his eyes were flashing, and then he seemed to be curious and curious: "You just said 'them', which means Miss Su, and..."

If it was really Yang Yi, then they would have been so happy to get up and say goodbye. Qin Pi still remembers what happened three months ago when he was thinking about the road. It was that time that he came up with this roundabout way again, even though he was reluctant.

Su's mother didn't know that the two people in front of her came to the door because they were trying to copyright her daughter's work. They were just weasels to pay New Year's greetings to the chicken. Moreover, there were two little guys living in her house, and they were all things that neighbors knew. When Qin Pi asked, she smiled and said, "Hey, they are two children, both of whom learned to draw with Wanwan."

"Oh, Miss Su Wan is starting to accept apprentices now. It's really a hero who makes a boy. Oh, it's a hero who makes a girl who makes a girl. Haha, hahaha." Qin Pi felt a little disdainful, thinking that a girl who makes a cartoon is more arrogant than a specialist painter and teaches people to draw. It's funny.

"No, it's not Wanwan's apprentice." Su's mother heard Qin Pi's misunderstanding and quickly explained: "One of them is a junior of what kind of partner, and the other is the parents at home. The child has some relationship with Wanwan's company, so they just live in our place. Both children like to draw and say they are learning to draw, which is actually a helping hand."

"Oh, that's it." Qin Pi nodded repeatedly when he heard it. He was a master of the shopping mall and had a very good time observing his words and expressions. At this time, he also heard some vague things about Su Mu's words.

Although Su Wan's mother has not seen the world, she also knows that some things are not easy to explain to outsiders too clearly, but it is precisely this vague speech that made Qin Pi sensitively notice some things. The latter is a master of playing tricks, and he will definitely not miss this opportunity at this time.

"What happened to your parents at home, there are always relatives. Putting people here will not let you raise children for free?" Qin Pi pretended to be a little indignant.

However, facing the first time I met, even if this person agreed with his good words, Su's mother still kept cautious: "The child really has no relatives, otherwise he wouldn't live here."

"Then I'll send it to the civil affairs department. You'll suffer too much," Qin Pi became even more indignant: "You mother and daughter are really kind-hearted. If you change someone, you are not close relatives, who would care about this matter?"

Su's mother smiled and didn't answer.

"The child of Miss Su's partner is not Lao Luo's person, right?" Qin Pi continued to cliché. If Su Wan's mother didn't say that she would not care about the matter, she would have taken the initiative to express her attitude now, undoubtedly telling others that she was not familiar with her daughter's work.

If it weren't for this, Qin Pi really wouldn't dare to deceive Su's mother casually.

Su's mother was stunned when she heard this, and then she reacted: "Are you talking about Mr. Luo?"

"It's him, my little brother and old friend." Qin Pi nodded indifferently: "Don't say that boy put his juniors here."

Then he murmured to himself: "But it's not surprising, Lao Luo often says that he has a good relationship with your family."

Undoubtedly, Qin Pi's words reduced Su Wan's mother's vigilance to a very low level. When she heard that she was Rogo's friend, she let down most of her previous defense: "No, she is a foreigner, a junior of a company boss on the island country."
To be continued...
