The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiaofang called Zhang Chen and told him that when she came back from the United States the day after tomorrow, Zhang Chen held the phone in his hand and thought, time flies so fast. In a flash, it has been more than a year since Xiao Zhao left them, and Xiaofang went to the United States. It’s also been a year.

Zhang Chen, Xiaoshu and Yao Fen went to Shanghai Pudong Airport to pick up Xiaofang. Xiaofang had been alone in the United States for a year and had matured a lot. When he saw her walking towards them with a smile, Zhang Chen fell into a trance. , he felt that it was Xiao Zhao who was walking towards them.

It wasn't until the little tree next to him called "Second Sister" that Zhang Chen woke up.

On the way back to Hangzhou, Xiaofang told Zhang Chen that she had three months of vacation and would not return to the United States until the end of August.

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang said that they should not be in a hurry to come back during the holidays. They would wander around the east and west coasts of the United States. When they arrive in the United States, they must understand the United States thoroughly.

Xiaofang nodded and said, I miss you.

After a while, he said again, I miss my sister very much.

When we returned to Hangzhou and were about to pass by the Mishi River, Xiaofang said that she wanted to see the painting of Xiaoshu first. She burst into tears when she saw the photo on the Internet.

Zhang Chen agreed, turned the car left and went to the Lakeside Oil Painting Gallery. After parking the car in the parking lot, the four of them walked towards the oil painting gallery. When they reached the door, Xiaoshu stopped and squatted down at the door and did not follow. They continued walking, and when Zhang Chen was about to ask him what was wrong, Yao Fen pulled his sleeve and winked.

After the three people entered, Yao Fencai and Zhang Chen said, "I don't dare to look. Every time I go in and out of here, I always walk past with my head down."

Zhang Chen understood.

Looking at Xiaofang again, she was already standing in front of "Sister" in a daze, with tears rolling down her face.

Others who were walking in and out of the oil painting studio looked at her in surprise and then at the painting. What surprised them was that this girl looked so much like the girl in the painting.

A girl about the same age as Xiaofang came over. She stood beside Xiaofang and watched, with tears streaming down her face.

"Is that you in the painting?" the girl asked.

Xiaofang shook her head: "No, my sister."

"What's up with her?"

"No more."

"Oh, what a pity." The girl sighed, "You and your sister look so alike. Your sister must be very nice to you."

Xiaofang said yes, my sister and I are very good, and she is very good with everyone.

The two girls stood there and started talking. Zhang Chen and Yao Fen walked aside.

Zhang Chen asked Zhao Xin for a picture album from their Lakeside Oil Painting Gallery. The first page of the album was "Sister". The album was printed by Qu Tianlin and the others. The picture was very restored and clear. Zhang Chen gave it to Xiaofang and talked with her. Said, this is clearer than what is found online.

Returning to "Splendid Home", Zhang Chen asked Xiaofang: "Should I go to see my parents first or..."

"I want to see my sister first and tell her I'm back." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen said yes.

Xiaofang still stayed in her original room. Xiaoshu helped Xiaofang carry her luggage up. As soon as Xiaofang entered the room, the first thing she ran to was Zhang Chen's bedroom and closed the door. After a while, Zhang Chen and Xiao Shu Yao Fen heard Xiao Fang crying from the room.

They went to Zhang Chen's parents' house. Xiao Zhao's parents had been waiting here for a long time. Xiang Nan and Xiang North were much taller than when Xiao Fang left a year ago. When they saw Xiao Fang again, Fang, both of them are a little shy. They no longer call "Aunt Xiaofang" like they did when they were children, and just pounce on her.

Instead, they waited until Xiaofang waved to them and asked them to come over. Then the two of them went over and took Xiaofang's hand.

However, after this contact, the two of them refused to let go of Xiaofang and followed her all the time.

During dinner, Tan Shuzhen and Liu Ligan also came. When Tan Shuzhen saw Xiaofang, she said that Xiaofang is already an adult and looks more and more like Xiao Zhao.

…

Xiaofang's parents told her about Zhang Chen and He Hongmei when she called back.

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang returned to the house where they lived. Xiaofang asked Zhang Chen, brother-in-law, how are you and Sister Hongmei doing now?

"Very good." Zhang Chen said.

"Then why aren't you married yet? Sister Hongmei is not young anymore. Brother-in-law, Sister Hongmei is very nice. Moreover, if you get married, my sister will be very relieved, I know." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "What do you know?"

"I know that if I leave you and Beibei to Sister Hongmei, my sister will feel relieved and will definitely be very happy."

"I know too." Zhang Chen said, "Xiaofang, do you know what your sister said to me in the ward at the end of her life?"

"She asked you to marry Sister Hongmei, and she also told you that Sister Hongmei will be very good to Beibei." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

"We are all staring at you in the corridor outside. We can't hear the sound, and we can't read lips? Not only do I know, but Sister Zhenzhen and Sister Tianlin also know, and Sister Hongmei also knows. Everyone knows, At that time, my sister was most worried about you and Beibei."

Zhang Chen nodded, he sighed and said: "I also know that Hongmei is very good. She was indeed very good when we were together, but it is impossible for us to get married."

"Why?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen told Xiaofang what He Hongmei said to him, and Xiaofang fell silent.

When He Hongmei came to Hangzhou, Xiaofang followed Zhang Chen to pick her up at Xiaoshan Airport. When the two saw her, they shouted in Chongqing dialect from afar, and then hugged each other, jumping up and down.

When Xiaofang came back, He Hongmei did not go to live in the International Building. Instead, she slept with Xiaofang as before. After taking a bath, the two of them sat on the bed and talked endlessly.

Soon they talked about Zhang Chen. Xiaofang looked at He Hongmei and said frankly, Sister Hongmei, my sister handed over my brother-in-law and Beibei to you. Why aren't you married yet? Do you dislike my brother-in-law? Zhang Xiangbei?

"Zhangzui, how could I dislike Beibei!" He Hongmei scolded.

"What's the reason?" Xiaofang asked, "Is it because my brother-in-law always has my sister in his heart?"

He Hongmei nodded: "Yes."

"Stingy, my sister is no longer here, and you still care about me." Xiaofang said.

He Hongmei looked at her and sighed: "I'm not caring, I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Xiaofang was surprised and asked.

"Your brother-in-law always has your sister in his heart. I'm afraid that when we get married, he will always compare me with your sister. Even if he doesn't want to, he will do it subconsciously. When he looks at me, he will think, Xiao Zhao wouldn't say that. , Xiao Zhao will not do this, Xiao Zhao does this, Xiao Zhao does that, as if we are not two people together, but three people living together, that will cause trouble and problems."

He Hongmei paused and then said, "I don't want to compete with your sister either."

"Then why are you together again? You said that subconsciously, after getting married, he will compare subconsciously. When you are together now, are you not afraid that he will also compare?" Xiaofang asked.

"There is no obligation now. It's better to compete. If he thinks I'm not as good as your sister, just walk away. You don't have to pay attention to me. Once you get married, he will want to walk away but can't. If he thinks like this in his heart, he's just pretending on the surface. If you become like that, over time, people will become hypocritical. I don't want that, and I don't want your brother-in-law to become like that. That will make me lose confidence in people." He Hongmei said.

When He Hongmei was talking, Xiaofang kept staring at her, which made her feel bad and cursed: "Why are you looking at me?"

Xiaofang shook her head and said, "I don't know whether you have low self-esteem or self-confidence, or both. Sometimes it's really like this. You are confident because of low self-esteem, or conversely, you have low self-esteem because of self-confidence. Like two sides of the same coin.

"Everyone has a process, and after they have experienced it, they will leave traces of their memories. Not to mention my sister and my brother-in-law, who have lived together for more than ten years. It's me. I had a crush on our squad leader when I was young. Now that I think about it, I still have his image in my mind. What should I do? Do you want me to open my head and clean it?

"Sister Hongmei, don't tell me. You have never had such an experience. You have never had such a man in your mind. Since kindergarten, the only thing you have thought about is my brother-in-law? Are you sure there is? You can put your Are you going to wash away your memory? If you can’t wash it away, why do you ask my brother-in-law to wash away my sister? Isn’t this too unfair?”

"Oh, these are two different things. I'm not asking your brother-in-law to wash away your sister. If he really wants to wash away your sister, I will still think that he is heartless and unjust." He Hongmei said, "By the way, Yaomei, you have a boyfriend." ?"

Xiaofang shook her head, and He Hongmei laughed "ha" and cursed:

"Look at you, a person who has never even been in a relationship. You don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Here you are discussing love and marriage issues with me, and you still talk about the same thing."

"Why can't we talk about it?" Xiaofang said unconvinced, "You have had several bad relationships, what's the big deal? I'm trying to reason with you."

"Yamei, you haven't been in love before, so you can't understand many things. Do you understand? You have seen pigs running, but you are not a pig. You don't know why they run. The same is true between men and women. There is no reason to explain. , just rely on feeling." He Hongmei said.

"What does it feel like? After all, I am still stingy." Xiaofang said.

"No." He Hongmei said.

"that is."

"It is not."

"It is, it is."

"It's not, it's not, it's not."

The two people started bickering as they spoke, and finally fell to the side laughing.

"No, just wait." Xiaofang said and got out of bed. He Hongmei asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll call my sister and ask her to come here to listen to us and make comments." Xiaofang said.

"Just go!" He Hongmei also got out of bed.

The two of them walked outside and reached the door of Zhang Chen's room. Xiaofang reached out and knocked on the door, shouting: "Brother-in-law, open the door."

Zhang Chen came over, opened the door, looked at the two people standing at the door and asked, what's going on?

Xiaofang pointed behind Zhang Chen and said to him: "We want my sister to sleep with us."

He Hongmei smiled and said, "Don't you want her to comment?"

"Yeah, sleep with us, and she listens when we talk. If you talk nonsense, I will let her scold you." Xiaofang said.

"You're talking nonsense." He Hongmei scolded.

Zhang Chen didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but weren't they always like this when they were together?

Zhang Chen smiled and stepped aside. Xiaofang walked in and picked up Xiao Zhao's urn. He Hongmei picked up Xiao Zhao's portrait and said to Xiao Zhao in the painting:

"Let's go, Xiao Zhao, let's go teach this Yaomei a lesson."

Moo moo moo. Xiaofang stretched out her head and made a face at He Hongmei.
