Propaganda Minister's number one fan

Father Su hid in the toilet to calm down his ups and downs.

He looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly realized that time flies and he is old.

He couldn't help but think of the year when he graduated from high school and went to Cunchang City to find a job. The salary was not high, but it was enough to support himself.Life is hard, but because he can see his senior from time to time, he enjoys it.

Duan Zhang was studying oil painting at the university, and his sophomore year had just ended.With no worries about food and clothing, he doesn't know Su Yuan's suffering, but he just thinks that he is very happy to see Su Yuan.

Su Yuan thinks about it now, those two years were probably the happiest two years for them, and it was also the two years when their way of thinking gradually drifted away.

Later, Duan Zhang entered his senior year and was about to graduate. He wanted to sell his oil paintings to make a living. His family helped him open up some channels, but he could barely support himself.

But Duan Zhang was a little frustrated, he felt that his level was more than that, he didn't want to just sell paintings to those who didn't know how to paint, he wanted to have higher attainments.

Painting is his ideal, a spiritual pursuit that breaks away from the mundane world.One day he decided not to paint those stereotyped decorative paintings anymore.He stayed behind closed doors and wanted to paint a shocking work.

Su Yuan has been with him in those days.

But no matter what, Duan Zhang couldn't draw a painting that satisfied him.He submitted his works to participate in international competitions, but there has been no news.

This is a matter of course.Duan Zhang thought, after all, how can a work that he doesn't even like can attract the attention of others?

When he graduated from senior year, Duan Zhang and Su Yuan went back to Meijiu City together.

Su Yuan's work in Cunchang City has not been smooth for the past two years, so he simply resigned.

Duan Zhang wants to ask his family for some money to continue painting.After all, painting is a very expensive job, and he has no job, let alone borrowing money from Su Yuan.

Duan Zhang’s family members are engaged in business. Duan Zhang self-assessed and cut off their hard-won connections before. The family members were already dissatisfied. Now seeing that he has been bored at home painting and not doing anything serious, he wanted to persuade him to take over the family business. Business.

Duan Zhang quarreled with his family and went to live in Su's house.I spent a few months in the Su family in a daze.

During this period, gossip about Su Yuan and Duan Zhang also spread in the small Meijiu City.At that time, people treated the relationship between the two men with contempt, and most of the discussions were harsh words.This kind of thing had happened in Cunchang City before, and it was also one of the reasons why Su Yuan's work was not smooth.At that time, Duan Zhang could still turn a deaf ear to it, but now he was depressed, when he saw Su Yuan frown because of gossip, he already felt ashamed to face the other party.

"Xiaoyuan...I'm really useless," Duan Zhang and Su Yuan sighed one night, "I can't even support myself, let alone protect you."

Su Yuan hugged Duan Zhang: "We are all men, and you don't necessarily need you to protect me. I can protect you too. I found a new job today, and I can go to work next week. It is still necessary to support the two of us. OK."

Duan Zhang hugged Su Yuan tightly and cried weakly.He has had smooth sailing since he was a child, but this is the first time he has encountered such a setback, and the psychological pressure is really unbearable.

At that time, Su Jing was about to get married, and her fiancé worked in the post office.It was only when they went home to visit their relatives that they realized that both Su Yuan and Duan Zhang had returned to Meijiu City for nearly half a year.

When Duan Zhang confessed his love to Su Yuan, Su Jing was going to the rooftop to ask them to go back to sleep in the house, so she actually knew the relationship between the two.

Over the years, because Su Jing couldn't bear to blame her younger brother, she didn't intervene in the relationship between the two. Now that she heard that Duan Zhang was in a slump and that Su Yuan hadn't made a name for herself in Cunchang City for two years, she couldn't help being a little annoyed.

When Su Yuan went out to buy vegetables, she found Duan Zhang, and only said one sentence to him: "If you can't give Su Yuan happiness, but only drag him down blindly, don't be with him. Let go pass him."

After nearly a year of struggle, finally under the pressure of the last straw, the rebellious Duan Zhang was defeated.

He went back to Duan's house that day, and the family took a step back from him, agreeing to let Duan Zhang continue to paint, but only if he married Zhang's daughter and let her take over the family business.

Duan Zhang agreed.

When Su Yuan bought vegetables and came home, he found that Duan Zhang was not there, so he went to Duan's house to look for him.

Duan Zhang didn't let him in, but said goodbye to him outside the door: "I will get married next month, do you want to be the best man?"

Of course he knew how much such a cruel proposal could hurt Su Yuan, but he knew that only in this way could Su Yuan completely sever ties with him.

Su Yuan is so smart, he understands how much pressure Duan Zhang has experienced this year, and he knows how much painful struggle Duan Zhang has to endure to make such a decision, so he didn't cry and make a fuss, and he didn't ask why .

He smiled: "Best man, don't you have so many buddies, go find them, I won't come. Congratulations."

Duan Zhang was a little choked up, he tried his best to breathe steadily, and then smiled and said slowly: "Thank you."

Su Yuan turned around to leave, but couldn't move.

After a long pause, he turned his head and said to Duan Zhang behind him: "If one day you regret it, you have to remember that I am still here. No matter what time it is, I will give you a chance to turn back."

Duan Zhang shook his head: "I can't turn back. Don't wait for me, Xiao Yuan."

That year, Su Yuan's work in Meijiu City went smoothly unexpectedly, but he always missed the two years when his work was not smooth.

Duan Zhang got married for a year and had a child. He insisted on using "Yiyuan" when naming the name. His wife asked him why, but he didn't answer.But even if he didn't answer, a shrewd woman who has been in business for many years can still guess something.

Su Yuan stayed in Meijiu City for three years.Until Duan Zhang became famous internationally, he held his first solo exhibition at his alma mater in Cunchang City.Su Yuan took the car to Cunchang City overnight, just to see Duan Zhang's painting exhibition for the first time.

At the entrance of the art exhibition, Su Yuan saw his alias "Duazhang", and felt a little sad for no reason at that time.

Until he saw Duan Zhang's famous work "Far away" displayed in the hall, he finally understood that Duan Zhang really didn't plan to turn back.

The picture and composition of that painting are so familiar, it is clearly an oil painting version of the sketch that Duan Zhang drew for himself in the rapeseed field.

Apart from the scenery, even the characters in the painting are very similar to Su Yuan.

It's just that it was a woman with flying long hair.

Duan Zhang denied him in memory.

Su Yuan thought.

Maybe he would rather he liked a woman from the beginning.

Su Yuan smiled, but his eyes were wet.

When someone commented on this painting, they once said that the picture is so bright and the characters are smiling and sweet. At first glance, they only feel beautiful and happy, but when they look at it again, they can always feel a faint sadness.This layering and richness of mood is why the painting is known internationally.

Probably the separation of Su Yuan and Duan Zhang really made today's "broken chapter".

That year, Su Yuan's unit had a position that needed to be transferred to Wuyu City, and Su Yuan applied for it.So he and Duan Zhang finally left Meijiu City.

Four years later, Su Jing and her husband died unexpectedly, and Su Yuan became Yu Jiashi's guardian.When I returned to Meijiu City for the New Year, I met Duan Zhang's family of three.

Su Yuan deliberately misled Duan Zhang to think that he was also married and had children.And the intersection of their lives is here, and it is completely over.

At least Su Yuan thinks so.

"Dad, Uncle Duan and Brother Yuan are leaving, do you want to come out to see off the guests?" Jiashi knocked on the door outside the toilet.

Father Su woke up from the memories, wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and walked out of the toilet.

Father Duan's drunkenness faded a lot at this time, and he said goodbye to Jiashi and his son with a serious face: "Xiaoyuan, I will come to see you again soon." Well, he was actually saying goodbye to Father Su alone.

Father Su rolled his eyes: "I'm very busy, so I don't have time."

Duan's father wanted to say something, but Duan Yiyuan hurriedly said goodbye and dragged his father away. He still had lingering fears about Su's father's operation at the dinner table, and was afraid that if his father said something wrong again, he might be killed on the spot.

On the way home, Duan's father smiled and said to Duan Yiyuan: "Su Jiashi is a very good child, my son's vision is as good as your father's."

Duan Yiyuan frowned: "Su? Dad, Jiashi's surname is Yu, not Su."

Duan's father was thoughtful: "Could it be that he took his mother's surname? Did Xiao Yuan marry her?"

Duan Yiyuan heard Duan's father's words and understood that he had misunderstood the relationship between Jiashi and Su's father, so he explained: "Uncle Su is actually Jiashi's uncle, and Jiashi's biological parents passed away very early, so Uncle Su took care of him of."

"Uncle? Passed away?" Duan's father thought for a while, then slapped his forehead, "I should have thought of it earlier, Jiashi is Su Jing's son!"

Duan Yiyuan guessed that the "Su Jing" that Duan's father said was probably the name of Su's father and sister, so he didn't ask.

After turning his head, Duan's father suddenly realized: "So Xiaoyuan has been lying to me from the beginning to the end. He is not married at all, and has he never had a child with any woman?"

Duan Yiyuan thought that Duan's father was talking to himself, so he walked quietly beside Duan's father without answering, but who knew that Duan's father stabbed him: "I'm asking you something, why are you ignoring your father?"

Duan Yiyuan raised his eyebrows, is this person so cheerful when he's drunk: "I heard from Jiashi that it seems that Uncle Su has always been single, and his family tried every means to introduce him to a blind date, but he rejected them all. .”

Hearing this, Father Duan stopped talking.

He was distressed.

I feel sorry for this single man who raised his sister's son alone.

Why are you so stupid, Xiao Yuan.

I told you not to wait for me, why are you still so stubborn.

After feeling distressed, there was another burst of pride: "He also said that his feelings for me have faded long ago, and he clearly still remembers me! Otherwise, why have you been single for so many years! See if I don't chase you back!"

Duan Yiyuan looked at Duan's father who was dancing, and felt a little worried.He always felt that Father Duan was too narcissistic.But...it's better than self-pity.

Thinking back to Su's father's deep smile, Duan Yiyuan hurriedly emphasized to his father: "Don't tell him that Uncle Su has never been married. I said it."

"I know, I know, we are comrades-in-arms!" Father Duan put his arm on Duan Yiyuan's shoulder indifferently.

Duan Yiyuan looked at his slightly drunk father, and always felt that this man didn't listen to his own words.

Duan's father tightened Duan Yiyuan's shoulders: "Jiashi likes you very much, right? He won't refuse to do anything you ask him to do, right? You pull him into our camp and ask him to help me persuade his dad, Don't be stubborn."

Duan Yiyuan: "..."

How had he not discovered that his father was a rascal before? !
