In view of Zhou Zhou's bad behavior of frequently calling friends out during the seven-day holidays in the past Spring Festival, one week before the holiday, my father made three rules with her in the video call: Eat at home, eat at home, and eat at home!
Zhou Zhou said, "I haven't seen my old friend for a year. What's wrong with having a meal?"
Dad retorted: "You and your old father have been there for a year, not... half a year, not... not... not... not... not seen for several months. So what's wrong with having dinner with me?"
Zhou Zhou smiled and felt that his father was so unreasonable, but it made sense.
My mother squeezed into the camera with a black mask on her face. Her mouth was moving in a small amplitude and her speech was a little vague, like a martial arts man making a silence, "I went to attend your teacher Gao's son's wedding yesterday, and met an old classmate of yours. He asked about your situation and said he wanted to come to visit your home."
"What's his name?"
My mother thought, "What's his name... I remember he worked in an investment bank in Shenzhen before."
Zhou Zhou's heart rumbling, "Chen Yu?"
"Yes, it's him!" My mother slapped her thigh and the mask fell off.
Zhou Zhou smiled. But his heart couldn't help but turn it around - how could he suddenly ask about her?
Maybe you are so kind. Zhou Zhou thought, decisively put down his cell phone, turned off the lights and went to bed.

Chen Yu is a classmate next door to Zhou Zhou and a sensational figure in the school.
He has good grades, good looks and good character. When he speaks at the flag-raising ceremony, his voice is clear and his pronunciation is as standard as the host of the Youth Channel.
In Zhou Zhou's eyes, he is different from others. The grades are better than him, but they are not as good as him; those who are better than him are not as good as him; those who have good grades and appearances are good, such as a boy in the same class always stubbornly called her "fat girl", which obviously has a bad character and a very poor mouth.
Yes, Zhou Zhou was a fat girl back then. Her mother felt sorry for her hard work in school and was afraid that she would not have enough nutrition. She called her teacher during lunch break and called her out. Zhou Zhou huffed to the school gate. Her mother stuffed her a lunch box containing cut crystal pig elbows. She was laughed wildly by her classmates for a semester.
The fat girl Zhou Zhou has a little inferiority, but she has always used pride to hide her inferiority. For example, she always stands straight and sits upright, not only because of the education she received since childhood, but also to prevent the swimming rings in the half-sleeved school uniform from being too obvious.
Zhou Zhou's performance is very good, and Chen Yu's ranking is the bull's eye she aims at. She also has another specialty, which is that she can write and draw, and she works hard. Every time she updates the newspaper, she is the person who stands in front of the newspaper wall for the longest time.
Zhou Zhou and Chen Yu have never said a word during the entire high school stage. Occasionally, I met in the corridor, and each looked at me without squinting, as if the other party was transparent.
There were two times when they were very close, and their wide school uniforms and sleeves were swept together. There were waves in her heart, but her face was still not moving.
Zhou Zhou thought, maybe it was because he was not good-looking. She was a little sad, but she was not depressed by it. She worked harder and waited to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.
After the college entrance examination, Zhou Zhou finally owned his own mobile phone. She edited a text message with deletion: "Hello Chen Yu! Can you meet you at 'Sculpture Time' tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning? Looking forward to reply!"
Zhou Zhou closed his eyes, pressed "Send".
However, he did not reply. The next morning, Zhou Zhou waited for nothing, but she was mentally prepared. After eating a beautiful little cake, she went home easily but sadly.
Zhou Zhou’s life creed is: don’t do things that make you regret impulsively, but if you are sure not to do things that will leave regrets, then be impulsive once and do them bravely.
She has passed by bravely, so she will not regret it.

After going to college, Zhou Zhou lost weight due to active exercise. She had a beautiful jaw curve, and probably because of her long-term attention to her demeanor, many girls envy her swan neck and elegant figure.
How beautiful the world in front of her is, she has almost forgotten Chen Yu. Of course, it's just "almost".
Zhou Zhou once had a tall and handsome boyfriend. He is very ambitious and has a good family background. He is the kind that matches the symmetrical aesthetics of love. One day they were in the restaurant and heard a girl ordering food at the next table. Her boyfriend casually said, "I'm going, the fat girl still eats so much!"
Zhou Zhou became disgusted with him and was out of control. As they were awkward, the two broke up. After
is working, time seems to pass by in a flash.
Zhou Zhou is about to be twenty-eight years old. My mother said there are three types of unfilial things. Not eating breakfast is for being unfilial, not sleeping in the early morning is for being unfilial, and not talking about her boyfriend is for being unfilial.
But Zhou Zhou had no choice, she didn't meet the person who was in the same way. Occasionally she would think of the heartbeat when the school uniform and the school uniform touched. He brought a faint wind that had blown her for so many years.
Now, he is here. On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, he said he came to visit his uncle and aunt and wish him an early life.
Zhou Zhou didn't know when he became so familiar with "uncle and aunt", so he didn't dare to say it or ask.
My parents sat with me for a while and then walked away, leaving two young men of marriageable age with a clear intention. Chen Yu is thoughtful and insightful, and is fresh and handsome, and elegant. Zhou Zhou looked at him and his eyes no longer dodged. She had already practiced well and generously. The two of them sat on the sofa and were still a little unfamiliar and polite at first, but gradually they felt tacit understanding and joy.
Later, my parents kept the meal, but Chen Yu refused, but my mother enthusiastically tried to keep it, so he refused. His eyes looked at her, as if asking for her opinion. What can she say? She smiled like a flower, repeating what her mother said: "It's the New Year, let's go after dinner!"
Zhou Zhou thought to himself that he is twenty-eight years old, and he should be twenty-eight years old. Has he also been urging his parents to fall in love and get married, so he wants to find a girlfriend urgently before the New Year comes?
Hehe, Chen Yu, how good it is to hire a temporary worker!
04
Chen Yu is here again, on the second day of the first lunar month, " Auntie's Day ". He and Zhou Zhou had hundreds of pages of WeChat chat records. She mentioned the text messages sent to him that year, "looking for reply". He explained that many text messages with unknown numbers were deleted in batches at that time.
He said, "I don't know that number is you."
is very reasonable, and Zhou Zhou immediately turned the matter over.
In fact, even if he said he didn't like Zhou Zhou at that time, she wouldn't feel too angry. He was like a light cloud back then, and she was the Cinderella chasing the clouds on the ground. But now she is very confident, he is excellent, she is not bad, but she is comparable to him.
Chen Yu said: "At that time, I often saw your name on the grade column. You were very proud and didn't look at people when you walked. You had bright eyes and a little baby fat on your face.
Zhou Zhou smiled: "Can I call it baby fat like that?"
Chen Yu was embarrassed by her smile, and his ears continued red: "Once you wrote the newspaper very late, and I was behind you when you came out. That night there were stars and moons. The bus stopped. I didn't know why I felt very worried. I followed you to the intersection near your home and saw your mother standing there waiting for you..."
Zhou Zhou stopped smiling. She remembered that it was a summer, the night fog was steaming with the heat, and her coat was wet and sticky. She didn't stop the taxi and watched the street lights and stars all the way back. My mother stood under the lamp pole at the intersection and said to her, "Baby, you are so anxious about mom..."
Zhou Zhou felt his eyes were a little wet. The young man in front of him completely coincided with the boy at the time, and her heartbeat was abnormal.
05
Mom said, in the first month of the New Year, Chen Yu came to pay New Year's greetings, and you should also pay your respects back.
Zhou Zhou felt strange, "Is it too fast?"
As he spoke, Chen Yu's phone call came. He said that his grandmother was old and always said that she hoped he could have a girlfriend.
He said, "Zhou Zhou, do a favor!"
"Please you to dinner." He said, "Monthly, New Year's Day! How about it?"
Zhou Zhou agreed. Why don’t the high-quality young people today and the young people I liked at the time agree?
At grandma's house, the old man held Zhou Zhou's hand, smiled from ear to ear, grabbed the candy handfuls from the candy box and stuffed it into her pocket, as if she was a child.
The temperature in the room was high. When it was about to eat, Zhou Zhou found that a piece of wine heart chocolate melted in his pocket, making his hands sticky.
Chen Yu accompanied her to the bathroom to wash her hands, and wiped the candy stains on on her pocket with a wet tissue. If it was not wiped clean, he would use a wet tissue dipped in water to wipe it, and then use a hair dryer to dry it.
He lowered his head and focused and seriously cleaned her pockets. She looked at the back of his head and the crisp collar of his shirt, as well as the raised upper arms and shoulder blades when he bent over and used force.
is really excited and likes it very much. She called him softly: "Chen Yu?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." She said: "Looking at you, it's like dad loving mom."
Chen Yu said very well, and he quickly interjected: "Zhou Zhou, I love you!"
Zhou Zhou laughed "patter" and said, "In the bathroom , this sentence doesn't count! Chen Yu, I want you to say it again..."

"I don't know the peach blossom language in the temple"
Author: Lemon
Excerpt from the article:
Two surnames are married, and they have made a contract together. For Gu Henli, it is just a political transaction, but to me, it is not the case. But I was still young at that time and had a lot of youth, but I didn't know that I could endure my life in the vast years.
After reporting this to my parents, my father blamed me for taking my own actions, but after thinking about it for a while, I still agreed with my idea. Now the eldest princess is arrogant, extravagant and lustful, and is very happy to be successful; the second princess acts recklessly and gradually loses her holy heart; the Han family is powerful in the fifth princess's father's clan. If she ascends the throne in the future, the Han family will definitely suppress the Bai family. In this way, the third princess, who is weak but meticulous in his actions, is indeed the most suitable candidate.
Wedding date is set on the ninth day of the eighth month, which is a good day and is suitable for marriage.
Happiness is approaching, and the Bai family mansion is full of joy. The child in front of the court clapped his hands and sang a song. I listened carefully to the lyrics:
Have all my wishes in front of the pillow, and wait for the green mountains to rot. The scale floats on the water surface and wait until the Yellow River is completely dry.
lyrics are excellent, but unfortunately, it is just a wedding letter full of power.
Early summer is approaching, and I pressed the last peach blossom under the desk, waiting for the end of this spring.
