The Romance of a Young Painter

Shen Guangji and Wen Juan finally reached a consensus. He turned off the network and turned on the surveillance video of the past few days at a high speed. When he saw Zhou Nianjiu appearing in the night vision camera, he slowed down the speed a little.

It took an hour to delete the backup and shut down the computer. Shen Guangji called Zhou Nianjiu.

"Just finished the transcript." Zhou Nianjiu's voice was a little tired. He had just repeated all the details he could remember to different policemen no less than three times. One can imagine what Fang Leye, who was temporarily detained, would go through. When he asked the other party if he could When meeting Fang Leye, the other party gave a negative answer without hesitation.

"You and Liye go back to Fang's house, and I will go there too." Shen Guangji said.

The last time Zhou Nianjiu went to Fang's house when he was still in college, no one else was there except Fang Leye, a student. This time it was just the opposite, everyone was there except him.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Li Ying affectionately pulled him to sit on the sofa.

"It should be." Zhou Nianjiu withdrew his arm a little uncomfortably. He should have called Fang Leye "Auntie" according to Fang Leye's seniority, but after learning about Shen Guangji's background, he was not sure how to address him.

Li Ying only thought that he was shy, so she got up with a smile and poured him a cup of calming tea, and said, "Drink some water first."

"Thank you." Zhou Nianjiu quickly took it with both hands, and when he didn't know what to say, he saw Shen Guangji coming out of it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The door at home is broken, so it's not safe to live in," Shen Guangji explained why he came to Fang's house, and then said to Li Ying, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you for a day or two before the door is repaired."

"What are you doing so far? You want to stay as long as you want." Li Ying smiled.

Fang Huaimin said: "It's good to come back here, but this time, if we stay at home for a while, the Yuan family will definitely not let it go after suffering such a big loss."

Shen Guangji said: "The matter of Le Ye seems to me to be the work of those under the Yuan family."

Li Ying revealed a look of disgust, and said: "Isn't it true that even though you use some insidious means, the standard is not up to the table."

Fang Huaimin said calmly, "Yuan Zhang was released today."

Shen Guangji frowned and said: "Then move faster, otherwise the matter of Le Ye will be difficult to deal with."

Fang Liye hurriedly said: "Don't worry, little cousin, our people have been investigated almost, and the suspects have been locked up, and the results will be available soon, and it will be too late for the Yuan family to intervene."

"Don't be careless, make a quick decision to avoid long nights and dreams." Fang Huaimin arranged for Fang Liye to go out to deal with the follow-up matters, and turned to Shen Guangji, "Who did it?"

"It's Yuan Xun," Shen Guangji glanced at Zhou Nianjiu, and said, "But he did it very perfunctorily, as if it was just for business."

Li Yingdao: "He is a different kind of Yuan family, but his surname is Yuan after all. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. The immigration side said that he will fly to Europe tomorrow. I don't know what the hell is going on."

Fang Huaimin said: "Guang Ji, you have met Yuan Xun face to face, what do you think of this matter?"

Shen Guangji said: "In the past few years, the relationship between Eastern Europe and the Belt and Road Initiative cannot be easily shaken. As for Western Europe, they are still preoccupied with the internal issues of the European Community, and there will be no disturbances for a while. I think Yuan Xun's trip The main purpose should not be in this aspect, he should pay attention to what he does from a distance, and the focus should still be on Lao Yuan and Yuan Zhang."

Fang Huaimin nodded and said: "My opinion is the same as Guang Ji's. The main conflict lies with Yuan Yuan, Yuan Zhang and his son. After losing power in the last election, Lao Yuan's actions have become more radical. You see, among the people investigated by the procuratorate in the past two years Although most of them belong to their faction, there are also a lot of victims here. The old man was very worried when he knew about it. He made several phone calls to warn our generation of leaders to make steady progress in their work, and a big change of blood is not conducive to stability. Guoben."

Shen Guangji said: "Is he already eighty?"

Fang Huaimin said: "No, you take the time to persuade him not to worry about it, he won't listen to what I say."

Shen Guangji shook his head and said: "Let Liye and the others go on this errand, I will go out when Leye returns safely, and I won't be back for a while."

Zhou Nianjiu finally interrupted and asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Guangji smiled and said, "It's not me, it's us. Didn't you say you wanted to go to Africa to sketch?"

Although Zhou Nianjiu felt that the news came in a hurry, she still let out a "huh".

Li Ying disagreed and said, "It's hot in that place right now, why don't we wait for the little rainy season to pass, the weather will be cooler anyway."

Shen Guangji said: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, and we can catch up with the relocation of the wildebeest when we set off for a while."

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Nianjiu's eyes lit up.

Fang Huaimin saw it, and said to Li Ying: "It's getting late, you take Xiao Zhou to the guest room to rest first, and Guangji and I go to the study to talk about something."

The two brothers closed the door and talked, Fang Huaimin said: "Guang Ji, tell me the truth, how is your health now?"

Shen Guangji said: "It's not very good, the shortest is two or three months, and the longest is half a year."

Fang Huaimin frowned and walked around the room for a few steps, saying, "Has it broken to this extent?"

Shen Guangji said lightly: "Sooner or later."

Fang Huaimin said, "Do you know that you are such a young Zhou?"

Shen Guangji said: "The result is the same whether you know it or not."

Fang Huaimin disagreed and said: "How can it be the same? I used to be afraid that he would affect you, but now I am worried that you will delay him."

Shen Guangji pretended to be displeased and said, "Are you my elder brother or his elder brother?"

Fang Huaimin said: "Don't interrupt, let's be serious, what do you plan to do? Take someone on a breakup trip?"

Shen Guangji said: "Who says we want to break up? It's so easy to wait until we are happy. I don't want to die with regrets. Brother, this is between me and him, so don't worry about it. With this skill you See how I am now, do I look like a normal person?"

Fang Huaimin stared at him for a long time, and said, "Except for his pale face, I can't tell anything else."

Shen Guangji smiled and said, "That's good."

Early the next morning, Zhou Nianjiu cooperated with Fang's family to run for Fang Leye's affairs, while Shen Guangji drove to the Babaoshan cemetery alone with a bouquet of flowers. He searched around the second cemetery, and finally stopped in front of a tombstone, on which was a young woman A photo of her, a short line of text describing her life:

An He (196X-199X), scientist, medical worker, and main researcher of Xinghe vaccine.

Shen Guangji placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone. After finishing this action, he stood silently in front of the tombstone for a while, and then whispered to himself: "They all said that you have been calm and reserved all your life, and you have nothing to do with other things except research. Don't care, so they have never been able to understand why someone like you would do such a crazy thing, ask for sperm from a man who only met once, or a widower who is almost 20 years older than you, and made a A child who has your genes and his genes at the same time. Until I met him, I didn't know that some things only needed an opportunity to happen. Before that, even I thought it was absolutely impossible to make such a choice. It's a pity, me and you It’s the same, there’s only such a little time left,” and then he chuckled, mockingly, and relieved, and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen you, and it’s also the last time, I still want to thank you for giving me life, mother .”

Two days later, the person who hid drugs and framed him voluntarily turned himself in. He was a very inconspicuous classmate in the department.

Fang Leye was cleared of suspicion and released without charge. The first thing he did when he returned home was Huai Min standing at attention and saluting. He said sonorously, "Report to the chief, I have shamed the old Fang's family. I am willing to accept the punishment. Please give instructions to the chief."

Fang Huaimin said: "You go to the northwest frontier camp and stay for a few years to see the effect."

This startled Li Ying, the youngest son was beaten to death and refused to join the army, now their old Fang was assigned to such a miserable place with a wave of his hand, and he didn't know if he could stand it. Then he winked at his youngest son, signaling him to bargain.

Fang Leye gave his mother a reassuring expression, and said: "This incident made me understand that you are a scholar who is useless, and someone like me who can't carry his shoulders or hands needs to be remade."

"Who wants to remake it?" A crisp voice sounded, it was Shen Guangqing, Meng Meng and her daughter who had arrived, and it was Meng Meng who was talking. She looked Fang Leye up and down and said, "Could it be you?"

Fang Leye said smugly: "It's not me, I'm going to go to the army for training."

Meng Meng blurted out: "Then what about your "Huangtu Baye"?"

"Ah?" This time, not only Fang Leye, but even the elders around looked at her puzzled.

Fang Leye reacted quickly, he tried to smooth things over and said: "Huangtu Baye is talking and laughing, and he is too drunk in his life. My grandma Mengmeng, don't say such shameless jokes on such a serious occasion. Bar."

Meng Meng also came back, and said down the pole: "That's right, let's go over there and talk."

"Uh..." Fang Leye was helplessly dragged away by Meng Meng, and before he threw a glance at Zhou Nianjiu for help.

It's a pity that Zhou Nianjiu didn't notice at all. His eyes fell on Meng Meng. He hadn't remembered her appearance for a long time, and now it seemed like a lifetime away.

Shen Guangji coughed lightly to call back Zhou Nianjiu's attention, and then said to Li Ying, "Since Le Ye is back, it's time for us to resign and deal with our own affairs."

Shen Guangqing looked at Shen Guangji and Zhou Nianjiu with a gloomy face. Since Fang Huaimin was present, she was not easy to get angry, but she still said angrily: "You were in a hurry to leave when I came here."

Shen Guangji explained: "It's nothing else, the time for the visa officer's appointment is almost up, so I can't go."

Shen Guangqing asked, "Where are you going this time?"

Shen Guangji said: "Go to the south for a stroll and see the prairie."

Shen Guangqing cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Nianjiu, and said, "It's hard to make friends. You can count the number of days you have spent in China these years."

Shen Guangji smiled and didn't speak, but the funny didn't reach his eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Ying hurriedly came over to smooth things over and said, "Don't they have to travel to collect pictures when they are painting? Guangji Xiaozhou, you go to do errands first, and come back to eat after finishing. Guangqing, don't stand there, come sit down." , You haven't been here for a while, how are you doing recently, are you busy?"

"It's not like that, I don't even have time to catch my breath." Shen Guangqing ignored Shen Guangji who was going out out of sight and out of mind, and set her eyes on Meng Meng who was talking to Fang Leye, and said, "If my Meng Meng is also with Fang Leye I will be relieved when I get lost and return to my career like a happy career.”

Li Ying smiled, and then she continued to talk about family matters.
