Master, he has to report his thoughts every day [Rebirth]

After Shu Li sent the money, it stopped for a few days, and then she ran to Shu Wangbei to report here every now and then. She asked him how things were going, and Shu Wangbei said it was going on. Zhou Li's attitude changed.

Shu Li asked why she couldn't see Zhou Li every time she came. Shu Wangbei said that a friend was hospitalized, and Zhou Li went to help take care of it.

Two days later, Shu Li said that she wanted to take some things to the hospital, but Shu Wangbei stopped her, "You don't know Zhou Li's friends, so what's the matter if you go? Besides, in this kind of thing, girls You have to be more reserved."

Shu Li blushed at what he said, and finally gave up.

Two days later, Xie Jianye and Zhou Lian and his wife came home, bringing over a box of cakes from Daoxiang Village in Beijing that Xie Zhuyun had sent over, along with three invitations. took one.

"Your uncle's factory will be completed this Saturday. You must go early to hold a banquet in the factory." Zhou Lian urged, and Zhou Xi agreed.

On Saturday, Shu Wangbei got up early on purpose to get his and Zhou Xi's clothes ready and ironed.What was prepared for the old lady was a bright red special festive dress. Grandma was too embarrassed to wear it, but Shu Wangbei persuaded her for a long time before she reluctantly agreed.

The dairy factory was built on the edge of the town, not too far away. The completion ceremony was scheduled for 58:[-] a.m., which was not an easy time. Zhou Li drove over to pick him up, and it was exactly [-]:[-] a.m. when he arrived at the factory.

The scale of the factory is quite large, with office buildings, workshops, staff dormitories, canteens, and auditoriums all available. Banners and ribbons were drawn at the entrance of the factory. Shu Wangbei laughed when he saw it, and looked down at Zhou Xi. When Zhou Xi met on a blind date, the banner "Come and visit and cooperate" prepared by Zhou Xi was quite fun now that I think about it.

There is an etiquette staff at the door who is in charge of signing in. Grandma thought it was very fresh, so she handed over the invitation card, and they respectfully invited her in, and gave her a handbag with a glass handicraft in it. Fits right on the bookshelf at home.

A few days ago, Shu Wangbei planned to go to the county to buy some gifts, but Zhou Xi stopped him. Old Xie's family really didn't lack anything.Zhou Xi spent half a day writing a poem by Chairman Mao, which fits right in the office. Shu Wangbei took it out and framed it. Today, he brought it over and sent it over. Xie Jianye was very satisfied after reading it.

The employees of the dairy factory are basically all in place. In addition to the old employees of the original milk powder factory, many new employees have been recruited. A while ago, Xie Jianye caused a great commotion when he recruited people in the town. The remaining labor force in the town Quite a few, this time the town government was relieved of a lot of pressure.

During the ribbon-cutting, Zhou Xi and the others were arranged to sit in the front seats. The county TV stations and radio stations were all present, and the cameras and microphones were set up. Grandma pointed at the camera and said, "Looking north, I'm watching Why is that camera just looking at me?"

Shu Wangbei turned his head to take a look, and said with a smile, "I see you are beautifully dressed, so I want to pat you more."

The old lady quickly stroked the hair next to her ears, which made Shu Wangbei laugh for a while.

After the banquet at noon, Zhou Li drove his grandma back, and the other three went to the town hospital. This day was the day when Xiao Ran was discharged from the hospital.

When they arrived, Xiao Ran had already packed up all his things, and changed the hospital gown, which was neatly folded on the bed, and he sat leaning against the edge of the bed, bowing his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Li went over and moved everything to the car first, and then helped him to the back seat of the car. Zhou Xi was also sitting in the back, and the car was very quiet for a while.

Shu Wangbei finished emptying the trunk, got into the co-pilot, "Let's go."

When they arrived at Xiao Ran's house, Zhou Li walked in front and knocked on the door, and soon a middle-aged woman with wrinkled eyes came and opened the door, she glanced at Xiao Ran who was standing behind, "You are back, fast forward house."

Xiao Ran nodded and called "Auntie".

A group of people entered the room and found that there was almost nothing in the living room. The aunt sighed, "A few days ago, the old Wang's family brought a bunch of people to make a fuss and smashed everything. I cleaned it up for two days. They were all thrown out, and they said they had to go to the hospital to make trouble, but are you okay?"

Xiao Ran turned his head and glanced at Zhou Li, Zhou Li said expressionlessly, "I asked someone to stop me."

Xiao Ran nodded and said thank you.

The living room was empty, there was not even a place to sit, so everyone had to stand.

Xiao Ran looked around and asked, "Auntie, where is my mother?"

"Lying in the house, from morning to night, just lying down every day." Auntie sighed.

Xiao Ran turned back to look at Zhou Li and the others. Zhou Li put down the things in his hands, and his eyes stayed for a moment on the only intact photo of Xiao's father in the living room before turning to Xiao Ran, and said, "Let's go first, you have a good rest, and I have something to do. Call, I gave you the number."

As soon as they left the door, Xiao Ran came up from behind, "Thank you." He hesitated for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Li waved his hand, Shu Wangbei smiled, Zhou Xi nodded and said, "See you at school next week."

.......

The next morning, Shu Li came again, and Shu Long was with him, but this time he didn't mention Zhou Li.

Shu Wangbei's patience with the siblings was almost exhausted, and he let them into the room with an uneasy face. When they entered, he saw that Shu Long still had two boxes of pastries in his hand.

The three of them sat on the sofa, and Shu Li had a smile on her face, "I saw you on the news broadcast in our county last night. You were sitting in the first row at the completion ceremony of the dairy factory. It's really impressive, neighbors." Everyone is envious!"

Of course Shu Wangbei also watched TV. Grandma was so happy to see him on TV, and Shu Wangbei was also happy. It was the first time he was on TV in his previous life and this life.

Shu Wangbei could see that these two people must have come for a purpose, so he didn't answer her.

Shu Li stabbed Shu Long's waist with her elbow, and Shu Long sat up straight because of her stabbing, and even opened his mouth to show a smile, although his fierce face made this smile look particularly ferocious, Shu Wang Bei was still very surprised, you know, he had never seen this brother give him a good face.

Shu Long put the cake in his hand on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of Shu Wangbei, "Wangbei, I have something to ask you."

Shu Wangbei looked at him suspiciously, "Please?"

Shu Long smiled awkwardly, "I know I was wrong before, we are all real relatives, we were young and ignorant before, don't take it to heart, brother will change his mind and treat you well in the future."

Shu Wangbei didn't argue, just looked at him with scrutiny.

Shu Li smiled at the side, "It's all about what the family says, and Wang Bei is not a person who holds grudges. Besides, it's going to last forever, maybe they will get closer."

Shu Wangbei thought to himself that this sister was really fooled by lard, she thought too beautifully, but she still kept her face calm.

Shu Li is used to his attitude and doesn't mind, and then said, "We came here today to ask you something, you see, my brother is quite old, and he used to do odd jobs everywhere before, and never had a regular job. , your uncle failed to get a permanent job, and now he is about to retire, and he has not been able to pass on the position to him. A while ago, the dairy factory was about to start open recruitment, and the wages were very high. My brother went to participate I just passed the exam, but luckily I didn't pass it. It just so happened that I saw you yesterday while watching TV at the neighbor's house. The neighbors said that we have an affair with Mr. Xie's house. Isn't it just a matter of saying something when I go to work? Think about it, we are all one family, and we can use outsiders, so it’s more reassuring to use our own family!"

Shu Wangbei understood what she meant after listening halfway through, nodded and said, "There is some truth to what you said...."

Both Shu Li and Shu Long's eyes lit up, and Shu Wangbei changed the subject again and continued, "It's a pity, the dairy factory is fully recruited, yesterday I asked my uncle if I could go to work, uncle It is said that there is a hole for a carrot, so we can’t arrange it.”

Shu Li was a little skeptical, "I can't, isn't your teacher Zhou still unable to speak with his uncle?"

Shu Wangbei sighed pretendingly, "Don't you know our teacher Zhou, I hate these crooked things the most, I mean I dare not tell him."

Shu Li still couldn't believe it. Shu Long beside her had already changed his face, his face was tangled up, and he showed his fierce look again, "Shu Wangbei, what do you mean? Are you going to help me with this?"

Shu Wangbei shook his head simply, "I can't help."

Shu Long rolled up his sleeves and wanted to make a move, but Shu Li, who had an ugly face, hurriedly grabbed him. She was still thinking about Zhou Li, and she didn't dare to offend anyone. Shu Long was very emotional, and Shu Li couldn't hold him back. , go out quickly.

"Then let's go back first. Dad is still waiting for us to eat. We will talk about this matter later," Shu Li said anxiously, still refusing to say it to death.

Shu Long was dragged away by him cursing, and he still didn't forget to take the two boxes of pastries, Shu Wangbei watched them go out with a cold expression.

When he was about to walk to the door, Shu Long broke free from Shu Li, turned back, pointed at Shu Wangbei and said, "Don't think you are so awesome now, let me tell you, everyone in the town has spread the word that Zhou Xi will marry you." You are persecuted entirely because of Xie Jianye, don't think that he really likes you, and you don't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue you are, I'm sorry!"

Shu Li's face turned pale with anger, she didn't want Shu Wangbei and Zhou Xi to have a good or bad relationship, then wouldn't things between her and Zhou Li become dirty, she patted Shu Long on the shoulder vigorously, "You What nonsense are you talking about, they are all rumors, can you believe it, go home quickly."

After speaking, he dragged him out forcefully, there was a bang sound outside the door, it was Shu Long who was unwilling to leave, and kicked the door panel hard.

Grandma was scared by the sound and called him in the study. Shu Wangbei went over to take a look, and comforted the old lady for a while before leaving the house.

He returned to the bedroom, picked up a small mirror from the table, and looked at himself for three to five minutes. Then he put down the mirror, took the book and went back to the room to read.

When Zhou Xi came back in the evening, he noticed that Shu Wangbei's face was not quite right, and he didn't respond to the food when he was eating.

After eating and tidying up, Zhou Xi called Shu Wangbei to their room and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shu Wangbei's expression seemed a little puzzled, he frowned and asked, "Are you saying I'm not good-looking?"

Zhou Xi didn't understand where his question came from, so instead of answering him directly, he asked instead, "What do you think?"

Shu Wangbei picked up the mirror and looked at it again, and said, "I think it's okay, I can't say it's particularly handsome, but it's generally a bit handsome."

Zhou Xi couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Well, he's a little more handsome than usual, and then what?"

Shu Wangbei put down the mirror and turned to look at him, "They told me that you were forced to marry me..."

Zhou Xi's face changed suddenly, and the relaxed smile on his face just now disappeared.

"Who said that?" He asked in a cold voice.

Shu Wangbei shook his head, "It's not important, I just want to know now, I'm not ugly, and my personality is okay, why don't you want to marry me? Or I should ask, why did you marry me? They say It was my uncle who forced me, I don’t believe it, you are not someone who will be forced to do anything.”

Zhou Xi pondered for a while before saying, "There is something I've always wanted to tell you."

Shu Wangbei's heart sank suddenly, he forced himself to suppress the sudden uneasiness in his heart, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Xi's eyes lingered on his face, like a fine and dense net, "On the first day of the new year in 79, the firecracker factory exploded. When Xiao Ran's father was sent to the hospital, he was out of breath. My father, Shu Liang, left this world in the hospital due to excessive blood loss, and on that day, in the same hospital, my mother... died on the operating table."

Shu Wangbei was in a trance for a moment at first, and then slowly regained consciousness from his misty eyes. He looked at the opposite person with unbelievable eyes, "This is impossible."

Zhou Xi's complexion was also not good, his eyes were a little blurred, and he seemed to be stuck in that memory, "Her name is Zhou Yan, and she was only 15 years old when she married my father. They were unhappy and divorced later. She She was 42 years old when she passed away, and she was pregnant with her third child, whose father was her second husband, from Mishui Town, whose name was... Liu Jizu."

Shu Wangbei felt a burst of thunder rumbling into his ears, and he was dizzy from the shock. He was so familiar with this name that he couldn't be more familiar with it. Although he had never seen this person before, the police often came to According to his family investigation, he has seen photos of this person many times. Although the person is middle-aged, he does not look old at all. The obvious mole, obviously a very blessed appearance, but crazily killed others, and she also ended up being shot.

It took more than ten minutes for Shu Wangbei to feel his ears gradually quiet down. He woke up from the trance, only to find that Zhou Xi was looking at him with worried eyes, and his lips were softly calling out to him. name.

Shu Wangbei subconsciously agreed, and couldn't help crying after agreeing.

He wiped away his tears casually with his sleeve, "So you want to marry me, right? But it's not your fault at all, it has nothing to do with you, you have a cold face, but why are you always such a bad guy? "

Zhou Xi approached him, took out a handkerchief to wipe away his endless tears, and sighed, "At that time, my aunt and uncle were worried that I would be too old to have a partner, and I would live alone for the rest of my life, so they made blind dates for me. , I have always disagreed, but it just happened to catch up with the accident in the coking plant, and they were even more worried about me. They hoped to find someone close to me to take care of me as soon as possible. I had a quarrel with my uncle in the hospital, and many doctors and nurses were present at the time, and I guess that was the source of the later rumors."

"Later, they got so anxious that they even forced me to meet the blind date they arranged. I actually didn't resist marriage. I just hoped that I and my future partner could be respected enough. I hope that if there is no love in our marriage, at least They also admire each other, so I began to think, maybe I can find such a person for myself."

"I was not in the hospital when your father had an accident. Since I came to Mishui Town, Zhou Yan never allowed me to get close to her. I knew that it was her due date, and I also knew that she was admitted to the hospital. I had visited her before that. , I was kicked out of the house by her. I didn't expect this to be the last time. During that time, I was very depressed and refused to hear any news about this matter. It wasn't until about two years later that I accidentally heard about it. It was your father who knew what happened."

"After that, I wanted to go to you and see how you were doing, but I was afraid. Zhou Yan's death was an indelible scar for me. Even if I tore off a small piece of scab, I would feel extremely painful , so I escaped, and then, at the end of last year, my aunt and uncle urged me to go on a blind date and get married...I thought of you."

"Because your mother's later husband killed my father?" Shu Wangbei asked, "Do you like me?"

Zhou Xi shook his head, "At that time, it was not about liking, but more about responsibility."

Shu Wang Beiqi gritted his teeth and cursed again, "He's a bad guy."

Zhou Xi smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's not what you think, I won't use my life's happiness to make up for mistakes that don't belong to me, but I do have a sense of responsibility for you in my heart, or a sense of guilt, I regret it I regretted not looking for you in the earlier years, especially after meeting for the first time in the nursing home." He paused for a few seconds before saying clearly, "At that time, when I thought of finding someone to marry, my mind immediately It's your name that comes up."

"Why?" Shu Wangbei knew that Zhou Xi couldn't tell lies, but he still found it incredible.

"Maybe it's because you spent the most sad time with me." Zhou Xi replied.

Shu Wangbei was stunned for a moment, the originally vague memories came flooding in like a tide, and they became extremely clear in an instant.

After the winter vacation that year, he returned to school to report in a daze. Although he had stopped talking in class, Teacher Shen still called him to the office every day during self-study.

Thinking about it now, Zhou Xi at that time seemed to be different from before, more silent and colder than before.

At that time, Zhou Xi didn't even go to the corridors to inspect. It was often Teacher Li who went out to inspect. Zhou Xi was preparing lessons or reading books in the office. Shu Wangbei often found that he was distracted while reading, and he often found him scribbling on the notebook. After writing the painting, I tore it all up. Thinking about it now, this was Zhou Xi's most intense emotional reaction at that time.

But Shu Wangbei forced himself to focus on the exercise book in front of him most of the time. Occasionally, he couldn't control his emotions, asked for leave, went to the bathroom, cried heartily in the cubicle, and then went back to the office to continue his work. Do questions.Sometimes when he comes back, he can see two pieces of candy on the table, and Zhou Xi will tell him coldly: "When you are under too much pressure, eat something sweet."

At that time, Shu Wangbei especially thanked Mr. Shen for not asking him why his eyes were red and swollen. The teenager didn't want anyone to know what happened in his family, and he didn't want anyone to pity him.

"Would you mind?" Zhou Xi reached out to hold his face in his hands and asked in a low voice.

Shu Wangbei nodded, "Yes, I would wonder if you are kind to me because you pity me, if you tolerate me because of a sense of responsibility, if you like me because you are a bad person."

Zhou Xi sighed, and habitually wanted to kiss him on the forehead, but Shu Wangbei turned his head and avoided it.

This was the first time that Shu Wangbei took the initiative to avoid his approach, Zhou Xi froze for a moment, and glanced at his empty palm.

"Don't you want me to kiss you?" Zhou Xi asked softly.

Shu Wangbei shook his head, "Thought."

"Then why hide?"

"I don't know if you really like me. When you kissed me, did you force yourself... When my parents were there, I was also a treasure in their hands."

Zhou Xi stretched out his hand to pull his face with some force, and looked into his eyes very close to him, "I think they can rest assured to hand you over to me, because you are also my treasure."

"Wangbei, every time I kiss you, your eyes seem to have sucked in the starlight from the sky, looking at me brightly, every time I think, no matter what, I can't bear to see you like this Let down."

Shu Wangbei raised his drooping eyes, and he observed Zhou Xi's expression for a while, Zhou Xi met his gaze directly, without any dodge.

After a while, Shu Wangbei asked a little aggrieved, "Is it because of this that you don't want to have sex with me?"

Zhou Xi didn't expect his thoughts to jump so fast. He thought that he had to reassure him again and again to gain his trust, but he didn't expect that his young wife had already thought of something further.

Zhou Xi smiled helplessly, "It's part of the reason, I don't want you to have any doubts about the intimacy that happened in the past because you know the past in the future, and I really think you are still young, it is a good time to work hard, I don't want you to be greedy for these things and waste a good time."

"Also, the most important point," Zhou Xi seemed a little hard to say, but under Shu Wangbei's expectant eyes, he continued, "My legs have not fully recovered yet, I want to give you the first time." Best memory."
