Back home, her parents were not there, and Ye Zhen didn't have a key, so she called and said that she would not be back until two hours later, so she squatted at the door of the house with her luggage in her arms and replied to Lu Licheng's text message.

When I got home, my parents were not there, and I didn't have the keys.

He seemed to be busy over there, and he didn't return until a while: wait at the opposite person's house, don't stay outside.

Ye Zhen sniffed, stood up obediently, and knocked on the opposite door.

A couple of elderly people lived opposite her. They knew her parents and had a good relationship. Naturally, they also saw her from a young age. When they saw her, they first felt that time flies and then asked if there was a boyfriend in the school grade.

At a loss, she replied yes, she is from Anhui.

The old man kept saying that Anhui people are good and Anhui people are smart, Ye Zhen nodded, Lu Licheng is indeed very smart.Anhui people love their wives.She blushed and nodded again, Lu Licheng was very gentle to her.Anhui people know how to manage money.She nodded, Lu Licheng is very good at making money and spending money.

She stayed there until very late before Mother Ye came to take her away.She thanked the old man for his care, and followed her mother back home with a suitcase and bag.

She thought her mother would say something, but she just boiled water for her to wash and go to bed early, and when she woke up the next day, she was alone again.

After waking up, Ye Zhen lay on the bed and reacted for a long time before recalling that she was already at home. Then she rolled over with the quilt in her arms and took out her mobile phone.

There was no electricity again.

She charged the phone and turned it on, and received more than ten calls and text messages from Lu Licheng again. Then she remembered that she forgot to give him a response, and weakly reached out to press the button.

I... my phone ran out of battery yesterday, and I forgot to charge it when I came back, so I don’t know that you called me so many times, you won’t be angry, will you?She replied with a guilty conscience, after all, it was her own fault.

And almost at the same time as it was sent, Lu Licheng's text message came back.

will not.

Just as she was about to reply, another text message came in.

You sleep a little longer.

She hugged her phone and looked at it for a long time before replying with a good word, and then rolled into the quilt.

She still eats and drinks when she goes home. She refuses all the class reunions, because she really doesn't like to be asked around, and she has nothing to do. Don't worry about these anymore.

So usually she doesn't go out, she just sits on the sofa in the bed and basks in the sun, being a full-fledged bookworm, and coming back with her hands full of ingredients as soon as she goes out.

So busy, the days passed very quickly, and it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

Ye Zhen learned to cook according to the recipes at home, and after learning that her parents would only come back at night on New Year's Eve, she resigned herself to the job of cooking.

The TV was on, and she was cutting carrots and chicken in the kitchen, preparing to fry Kung Pao Chicken, when the phone in her pocket rang, it was an unknown number.

"Hey" she wiped her hands, grasped the carrots in the bowl next to her with one hand, took them to boil water, and connected the phone with the other hand.

"It's me," Ban Xia's voice came from over there, "Guess where I am?"

Ye Zhen turned over the diced carrot with a spoon, and responded casually, "Where is it?"

"I'm in Boston."

She fumbled, and the spoon almost fell into the pot.

"Didn't expect that!" Ban Xia asked triumphantly.

She took the phone away and looked at the caller ID. It was indeed a series of unknown numbers. It was very long. It was an international call.

"When did you go?" She pressed, "I said I would see you off, and I was waiting to say goodbye to you at the airport. Why did you leave first?"

"Haha, it's an uncle who happened to apply for a visa to come here, so he brought me here to play for a while, and then go straight to school when school starts in a few days." Intermittently, Ye Zhen only heard half of a sentence.

"Have you applied to college yet?" Her concern was still with her studies.

"Of course, what else would I do here?" Ban Xia said triumphantly, "But I won't tell you, or you will be proud!"

"Anyway, I don't understand, and I don't know if you tell me." She copied out the diced carrots and put them in a bowl.

"Hey, guess who I saw here?" Ban Xia said mysteriously.

"Who?" She reached out to turn off the fire.

"Senior Fang Wei!"

She was distracted, her index finger was scalded by the hot pot, she let out a low cry, and quickly walked a few steps to the faucet to rinse with cold water.

But Ban Xia over there didn't hear it, and was still saying: "Senior Fang Wei was talking with a few white people on the street. I happened to meet them, so I said hello and left each other's phone calls."

"Isn't he in New York?" Ye Zhen asked.

"He said he was traveling to Boston, and he told me..."

The sound stopped here, Ye Zhen looked at the screen, the phone did not hang up, it seems that the signal is really not very good.

"Look..." Ban Xia was still talking, "...the mailbox..."

Ye Zhen understood, she meant to write her an email to clarify, so she hung up the phone.

The signal was cut off right there, and she actually wanted to hear what Fang Wei said.

They hadn't contacted him since he arrived in the United States. Ye Zhen only said that he was getting used to everything when he first arrived, and he had just established a relationship with Lu Licheng, so she didn't care.Now that I think about it, they haven't been in touch for seven or eight months.

Just email, Ye Zhen thought, but I still have to go to the Internet cafe to read it.

There was a festive sound coming from the TV. It was time for the news broadcast, and there were still a few of her dishes that were not ready, so she quickly put her phone on and started cooking.

The last dish was fish, and she put the lid on it. It happened that her parents entered the house together. Seeing the food on the table in the living room, they looked at her at the door of the kitchen in surprise.

"Zhenzhen?" Mother Ye asked, "You did it all?"

Ye Zhen smiled: "Of course, could it be the snail girl?"

"What are you doing so surprised?" Papa Ye smiled, "We are not at home, isn't she still hungry, she must be thinking about cooking by herself." As soon as he hung up his coat, he went to the kitchen: "Is there any more food?"

"Yes, there's another fish, it's already stewed, Dad, just watch the fire later." Ye Zhen walked out of the kitchen, "I'll go out later."

"Why go out on New Year's Eve." Mother Ye immediately objected, "Besides, it's so dark outside, it's inconvenient for you as a girl."

She thought about it, yes, anyway, she had plenty of time, so it was not too late, so she obediently went back to the kitchen, and was kicked out by Dad Ye to watch TV on the sofa as expected.

It seemed that it was all news broadcasts. She had nothing to do, so she took out her phone and sent a text message.

doing what?

eating.

So early?

It's getting late, there are still many things to do in the evening.

Is it convenient for me to call you tonight?

Convenient, just go and see mom.

Ye Zhen hugged the phone and fell silent. She didn't know how to reply, so she had to look at the screen for a long time and couldn't do anything.Fortunately, Lu Licheng sent another one.

I also want to be the first to say Happy Chinese New Year to you.

Ye Zhen raised the corners of her lips quietly, not realizing that her face was full of happiness.My mother didn't even notice.

"Have you made a boyfriend?" Mother Ye asked.

Ye Zhen hid her phone in panic, and was held down by her mother: "Why are you nervous, tell me what kind of young man you are?"

She stuttered and told the details of her relationship with Lu Licheng, but Mother Ye frowned and said, "Is he a country boy?"

She was silent and nodded solemnly.

"Zhenzhen, I don't object to you looking for people from the countryside," Mother Ye said, "but you have to think carefully about the remote mountainous areas."

She wanted to explain that she had just been there, the scenery was beautiful, even though it was winter, there were many evergreen trees, it was not monotonous at all.But she didn't say it, because she could hear that her mother's tone was a little dissatisfied.

Her family is from the city. Although it is a small city, her parents were both workers. Of course, she did not want her to go to the countryside.No matter how good the conditions are, they must be carefully considered.

When the last dish was served, Mama Ye stopped talking.And Ye Zhen kept thinking about it until the end of the meal.

She knew that her parents might object, but she liked Lu Licheng and his big family, so she didn't know how to say it.

Ye Zhen held onto the phone and didn't know what to send for a long time, but in the end she just sent him a happy Chinese New Year message.

The person quickly replied with a happy Chinese New Year message, but she didn't have anything to say.

After staying up until midnight, she quietly took out her mobile phone again and typed four words.

我 很想 你.

Although it has not been two weeks since we separated, even though the residual warmth of my body is still lingering by my side, I miss you very much, Lu Licheng.

Miss you very much.

The author has something to say: Speaking of which, I did not discriminate against rural people

But because of the separation of my parents, my view of love has been greatly affected

So that might be one of the reasons why they separated.
