Chapter 16 Ring

Shi Mi's phone call was silent for a long time, and Su Youqin and Shen Qianyao did not communicate again until they were sitting in the steamed fish restaurant by the Shili River.

The two sat by the window. Through the window, they could see the slightly turbulent surface of the Shili River and the small boats driving on the river. Shen Qianyao looked out of the window with her chin propped up, and murmured: "If life is not harmonious, It won't be long."

Su Youqin nodded.

After all, Shi Mi is only 24 and five years old, and the days to come are still long.Although she didn't comment on Shi Mi's choice, she was puzzled by Shi Mi's eagerness to get engaged.

Shen Qianyao sighed.

She put the hand on her chin to rub her cheeks, and when she turned her head to look at Su Youqin, she returned to her usual bright and sunny smile: "It doesn't matter, let's go out to play, eat and drink well is the business."

It seemed that the person who was silent all the way just now was not her.

Su Youqin had no choice but to remind her that the two of them came to visit the house instead of going out to play.She watched the waiter come over with a plate full of steamed fish, moved her nose slightly, smelled the scent of steamed fish in the air, and said with a smile, "It's okay, this is called combining work and rest."

The fish in the Shili River really deserves its reputation.The steamed fish is delicate and fragrant, and even the layer of rice noodles wrapped on the steamed fish has its own flavor.

Because it is Saturday, there are many people who drive from other places to try new things, and the business in the store is good.Su Youqin saw that many people were carrying bags with the store name and logo on them when they left. She was curious about what was inside.Seeing what she was looking at, Shen Qianyao asked while a waiter was passing by.

The waiter was very enthusiastic, saying that the store provides semi-finished steamed fish, the steamed fish is marinated, wrapped with rice noodles in the store, and taken away in a packed box.In this kind of weather, it is no problem to take it home and store it for a day or two before eating.

The two understood, and at the same time they started to buy semi-finished products.

After a meal, Su Youqin took the initiative to check out, saying that she was grateful to Teacher Shen for taking her out to play.Shen Qianyao did not refuse.

The two of them carried the semi-finished steamed fish in the store and the dried goods made of river prawns respectively, and drove to the next student's house with a sense of satisfaction after the delicious food.

When I came out of the student's house, it was not yet four o'clock.Shen Qianyao looked at his watch in a hurry. Although he was a little tired, he was in good spirits: "Let's go to another house while it's still early."

Su Youqin nodded in agreement.Shen Qianyao stood by the car and asked her if she wanted to drive?

Su Youqin's complexion slightly tightened, and she shook her head.She hadn't driven a car for a long time. After the car accident, although she had no resistance to riding in a car, she was very disturbed at the thought of sitting in the driver's seat and controlling the car alongside or overtaking other cars.

Shen Qianyao saw the change in her expression and said nothing.

The two get in the car.

After the vehicle drove for a while, Shen Qianyao suddenly said, "You haven't answered my question at the milk tea shop last time." She looked straight ahead with her eyes flat, her tone indifferent.

There was a soft English song in the car. Seeing that Su Youqin didn't respond, she continued, "Well, why are you looking for a boyfriend?"

Su Youqin naturally remembered the time at the milk tea shop, she didn't have time to answer Shen Qianyao's matter.In fact, she thought about it to herself after that.The main reason for finding out is nothing more than family members, and I want to use a temporary compromise in exchange for the freedom of the next few decades.

If a stranger or someone with a normal relationship asks, Su Youqin will simply mention it like this.But facing Shen Qianyao, she didn't want to answer so simply.Strictly speaking there are many reasons.

Su Youqin found that in front of Shen Qianyao, her desire to tell soared, those things she kept in her heart that she had never shown before, wanted to be shown in front of Shen Qianyao.

This is a bit strange.But makes one want to do it.

A lively and outgoing female voice came from Su Youqin's mobile phone: "I typed slowly and said, wait."

Shen Qianyao glanced at her sideways, the wind blowing outside the window lifted the bangs on Su Youqin's forehead, revealing the scar on her forehead.

Su Youqin typed very quickly.But she still knocked on the phone for a long time before clicking on the voice playback.

No matter how natural the voice is, it can't pronounce the tone that the real person wants to express.

Su Youqin listened to the female voice from the phone, lively and sunny.

The complaints, dissatisfaction, and scars brought about by the first love in her heart disappeared, and she seemed to be listening to the emotional radio, which belonged to another person's story.

And those narrations about family pressure are also lively. In this case, the reason for "why find a boyfriend" seems very untenable.

Su Youqin was amused.Obviously, she typed the words herself, but if she saw it as a bystander, she would feel that she was too weak in the story and a little cowardly.

——Because of the inexplicable breakup of my first love, I was sad and sad for many years; because my family mentioned it from time to time, I wanted to take a man back to gag.No matter how you look at it, it is the lowest choice.

After several long paragraphs of self-reports were played, Su Youqin was rarely shy and annoyed.She turned her face out of the window, looking at the rapidly receding street trees on the side of the road.

The car was quiet for 2 minutes.

Shen Qianyao will change the playing music to rock, the electric guitar and the drum kit are mixed together, making the car lively and dispelling Su Youqin's embarrassment caused by peeling layers of onions.

Shen Qianyao: "I haven't said anything about my coming out, have I?"

Su Youqin turned to look at her, she was eager to try, and seemed to want to tell Su Youqin about it: "I was dumped by Fu Lili when I was in freshman year, and the next day after I was dumped, our chat history was seen by my mother. You I know, people who are in love, sometimes they are not so serious in the chat records."

In fact, it can be described as extremely unscrupulous.

Shen Qianyao still remembers Shu Xian's reaction after seeing the chat records.Shu Xian, who was born in a scholarly family, was engaged in education, and was the leader of a certain democratic party in Yuanchuan City, dropped his phone directly on the ground, staring at Shen Qianyao with horror in his eyes.

Shen Qianyao did not expect that she would come out in this way.

In fact, if she hadn't been dumped by Fu Lili at that time, she might have found a way to close the cabinet door.It's a pity that Yu Fan, who was dumped, was suppressed by her in her heart. After Shu Xian's panic, she asked and accused him endlessly. One hundred, one thousand losses.”

Shen Qianyao's father, aunt, and younger father and mother rushed from Yuanchuan and Jinshi to Beicheng overnight, and their grandfather and eldest father were also watching with the video on.Sitting on a low sofa in the hotel, she accepted questions from the whole family.

Like interrogating a prisoner.It's just because the family is more self-cultivated, they didn't even let her kneel down.

They wanted to hear from Shen Qianyao something like just having fun with girls, but from the beginning to the end, Shen Qianyao insisted that he only fell in love with girls.

Shen Qianyao's grandfather came from the Anti-Japanese War. He was one of the few people who went to college and fought in the war during the Anti-Japanese War. He was originally going to join the provincial party committee, but he stayed in Yuanchuan for some personal reasons.Among his children, the eldest and only daughter both serve in the province. The eldest is in the provincial party committee and the daughter is in the public security system.The third child, that is, Shen Qianyao's father is in the Yuanchuan Municipal Party Committee, and the youngest son, Shen Qianyao's younger father, has transferred to the government and went to sea. Now he has established industries in Yuanchuan, Jinshi and Beicheng.

A family like her originally had the capital to do anything wrong, but the Shen family has a clean and upright family style. Shen Qianyao's mother, Shu Xian, is a scholarly family who teaches at the only university in Yuanchuan, and everyone on her mother's side works in the university.Shen Qianyao was not allowed to find a way out of these.

Shen Qianyao has escaped from her personality since she was a child, and she takes soft but not hard.The family also followed her point of view and reasoned with her all night.But she didn't listen.

Seeing that the morning was approaching, my father and aunt left in a hurry and went back to work.Before leaving, Father Shen asked Shen Qianyao to think carefully and make a choice after thinking about it. Her choice will determine her future path.

The next day, Shen Qianyao gave the family their own choice.

Then, she was cut off her living expenses for more than two years.He was also stared at by various strange people in Beicheng, and if he behaved slightly out of line, he would be reported to his elders.It wasn't until the end of her junior year, when she was admitted to graduate school, and her younger father and younger mother lobbied at home, that she regained the "freedom" that belonged to the Shen family-living expenses and the right to choose about the future.

It may be that the behavior of first love and the subsequent coming out of the closet made her confused. In the years of college, no matter whether the living expenses were rich or not, no matter how closely her family watched her, Shen Qianyao was very open about her relationship.

She has formally dated people twice, once with a girl she met when she was working part-time, and once with the cool girl Wang Yi she met in Beicheng last time.But she has had relationships with several girls, and those girls, without exception, are good-looking, with cold faces and a sense of distance, making people want to get close and protect.

It's no wonder that Wang Yi grabbed her and said that when they met in Beicheng last time.Looking back now, Wang Yi was an exception.

"I haven't talked since graduate school." Seeing the car driving to the street in Longlin Township, Shen Qianyao turned the steering wheel and turned to the small road leading to the village: "Suddenly I feel that dating is boring. Those stupid things I did in the past are quite boring Yes. Not worth revisiting."

Su Youqin knew that Shen Qianyao's family was in good condition.But I didn't expect it to be so good.

Shen Qianyao told herself these things in order to make herself realize that the past is boring?

Is it to comfort yourself?

"So, Boss Su, I want to get to know you, so I ask you some questions about the past. But you don't need to arouse bad emotions because of these questions. After all, everyone is young and stupid."

Shen Qianyao stopped the car.After unfastening her seat belt, she pressed Su Youqin's seat belt buckle. Looking at the yard in front of her, she said cheerfully, "Get out of the car. The last task of today is about to be completed."

Su Youqin looked at the back of Shen Qianyao pushing the car door, and smiled slightly.She felt as if something had been poured out of her heart, so relaxed.

--------

Shi Mi's engagement banquet was held in his hometown on New Year's Day.Before the engagement banquet, Mi Hao's parents came back from outside the province, and the two families readily agreed to each other's request.

On the last night of the New Year's Day holiday, Shi Mi and Mi Hao invited their friends to dinner at the sauce bone dry pot restaurant in the town.

Su Youqin received an invitation from Shi Mi a few days ago.She didn't quite understand whether gifts should be prepared for such a treat under the premise of engagement. She asked Shen Qianyao, but the other party said no.But she didn't quite believe it, because Shen Qianyao was smiling when she answered, and she didn't seem to take her question to heart.

So when she met Liu Ancan on Guolin Road, when the other party mentioned the meal, she asked him again.Liu Ancan obviously didn't understand, so he called another person on the spot and got the answer that he didn't need to prepare a gift.The two were relieved.

Because there was a dinner party in the evening, Su Youqin and Sister Cui agreed to make preparations for the next day's breakfast shop in advance.

It is low in December and the weather is gradually getting colder. During the New Year's Day, thick fog has begun to appear in the morning and evening, and everyone puts on sweaters and thin padded jackets.

When Shen Qianyao came to look for Su Youqin, Su Youqin was trying on clothes in the innermost room.After a long absence, she used concealer again to cover the scar on her right cheek, leaving the bangs on her forehead in place.

She was so absorbed in trying on clothes that she didn't hear the knocking or opening of the door.Until Shen Qianyao walked to the door, pushed open the half-open door, and said, "You are at home."

Su Youqin was startled, the clothes in her hand fell to the ground, and she looked at the person who appeared suddenly in horror.

Shen Qianyao was also frightened by her reaction.The two looked at each other for a few seconds and laughed at the same time.

Su Youqin touched his chest to express that he was about to be scared to death.Shen Qianyao is very innocent. She sent a message to Su Youqin but didn't reply, and there was no sound when she knocked on the door. Thinking that it was impossible for her to go so early, she opened the door and came in to have a look.

This was the first time she used the key after Su Youqin gave her the key.

recovered from the shock.Su Youqin looked at the few clothes on the bed and asked Shen Qianyao to help her choose.

A mid-length brown trench coat, a short black thin down jacket, and a mid-length off-white sweater, honestly, they all look good.But people who can't stand it have choice phobia.

Shen Qianyao wore her hair down today, a mid-length light brown sweater, pencil pants and Martin boots.The style of the sweater is very similar to the off-white sweater on the bed. They are both solid color half-high collars and slightly tucked in at the hem.

Looking at her clothes, Su Youqin tentatively picked up the sweater and looked at Shen Qianyao.

Shen Qianyao smiled: "Just this one."

Su Youqin came out after changing her clothes. In order not to bump into Shen Qianyao too much, she wore boots.Her hair is much longer, and half of it is pulled up and tied into a bun, looking youthful and beautiful.

Standing in front of the mirror, I am very satisfied.

Shen Qianyao followed her all the time, watching her tidy up with a smile, and when she stood in front of the mirror, she suggested, "Boss Su, let me take a photo for you."

Photograph?Su Youqin looked at her suspiciously.

"Looks good, take a picture." Shen Qianyao didn't wait for her to respond, after meeting her gaze, she raised her hand to take a picture.In the photo, Su Youqin's eyes were a little dazed, and his heart softened.

Shen Qianyao sent this photo to Su Youqin, thinking of the photo of Su Youqin in high school that was secretly taken away in the room, she felt even happier.

After posting the photo, she turned around, "Let's go." Suddenly, Su Youqin grabbed her arm. She looked over suspiciously, and saw Su Youqin picked up the phone, turned on the front camera, and pulled Shen Qianyao to her side, pointing her finger, and the two of them The first group photo of her fell into the phone.

In this photo, Su Youqin smiled slightly, while Shen Qianyao's eyes were a little dazed.Su Youqin liked it very much and sent it to Shen Qianyao.

When he got to the store, Su Youqin realized that Shi Mi had invited quite a few people, and the two tables were all young people.

Everyone came early, talking and laughing, and some snacks were already placed on the table.

Su Youqin and Shen Qianyao had just entered the store when someone called Shen Qianyao's name and greeted her.Su Youqin glanced over, besides Shi Mi and Mi Hao, Liu Ancan and Bian Chao were also there. Sitting beside Liu Ancan was another young girl who was a nurse she had seen in the hospital before. There were several young teachers beside Shi Mi, whom she had also met. .She doesn't know the others.

Shen Qianyao obviously knew most of the people. She took Su Youqin to a seat and introduced to Su Youqin: "This is Li Mumu, Wang Xiaoyang, Jia Zhao, and Wu Tian. Except for Jia Zhao who works in the government, the other three are all village officials. On the Guolin Road next door Village officials around the week."

Su Youqin nodded and smiled at them.

Shen Qianyao introduced Su Youqin again, and everyone laughed. At this moment, Su Youqin knew that they had a group, and there had been Su Youqin's "legend" in the group.

"We Qianyao, during the summer vacation, asked everyone in the group if they knew that there was a young boss who opened a breakfast shop near the school." Li Mumu had dark skin, a cute voice, bright eyes, and a heart that wanted to gossip It was fully exposed on the face: "Later we all found out that there is a boss Su who runs a breakfast shop in the elementary school."

"Yes, before we asked Mrs. Shen to take you out to play, but you have to work at night to prepare things in the store, but she refused." Wang Xiaoyang is a slightly fat girl with a male-like voice, showing big white teeth with a smile.

And this?Su Youqin looked at Shen Qianyao, and Shen Qianyao showed an innocent expression: "In summer, it's between seven and nine in the evening."

This time did coincide with the preparation time in the store.

Jia Zhao, who was sitting on the other side, smiled and said, "Your writing is very good."

Su Youqin looked at him suspiciously.

Jia Zhao smiled: "You wrote the two articles on the highway street handed over by your village head, right? The village head told me to use your two articles. In fact, there is no need for him to ask, then The two articles are so good, we will definitely use them.”

"What text?" The others looked at Jia Zhao.

"In the past two months, the government asked each village to submit articles to compile this year's year-end magazine, introducing the situation of each village. Didn't you, Mu Mu and Xiaoyang, also write it?"

"Su Youqin wrote two articles, one introducing the highway street in the form of a report, and the other writing about the changes in the way of people and the people and things in the highway street. Both articles have been selected and have been sent for publication. They will be published in a few days It should be distributed to the villages."

Jia Zhao finished explaining.Everyone looked at Su Youqin with admiration.

Li Mumu applauded lightly: "It's amazing, I put together an article from documents."

"Me too..." Wu Tian continued.

"I am ashamed to say that you people should be dragged out and beaten up." Jia Zhao joked.A table of people laughed.

Amidst the laughter, the restaurant began to serve food.Shi Mi and Mi Hao greeted everyone together.

The people at the two tables were very close to each other, chatting with the neighbors on the left and right.Su Youqin found that she was not at all embarrassed in this situation.Everyone seemed to be unaware of the fact that she couldn't speak, and they chatted to themselves.

When someone asks Su Youqin a question, Shen Qianyao or Shi Mi will answer for her, especially Shen Qianyao, she can help answer whatever people ask.

No one cared that Su Youqin didn't answer by himself.Occasionally, Shen Qianyao couldn't answer some questions. After Su Youqin simply typed and handed it to Shen Qianyao, the other party could understand her immediately.

There are many people, making noise and laughing.Su Youqin suddenly felt that she should come out more often.After returning home for more than half a year, it seems that after she met Shen Qianyao, she felt like she was slowly melting back into the town.

"Hey, Mi Hao, what engagement ring did you give Shi Mi?" Liu Ancan came over from the table next to her, her face was flushed, and she had drunk a lot of wine.

Meeting Su Youqin's gaze, she waved her hand and smiled and said, "Boss Su, don't be surprised, I drink alcohol to my face, hehe."

Just by her laugh, Su Youqin can tell that she is a little bit hot.

Shi Mi was also aware of this problem, she stood up and supported Liu Ancan who was leaning towards her, with a slightly shy face, she handed her her hand.On the middle finger of the left hand, a plain plain ring with a simple shape is very conspicuous.

Liu Ancan grabbed Shi Mi's ring and looked at it carefully: "Well, it's platinum, and it's pretty good-looking. I like this kind of simple and elegant one. Unfortunately, no one gave it to me." She moved between Shi Mi and Mi Hao, heavily Patting Mi Hao on the shoulder: "You are not bad! You can marry our teacher Shi. Is your milk tea shop going to write Teacher Shi's name?"

Everyone knew that Liu Ancan was joking.Looking at her flushed face, they all laughed whether she was drunk.

Liu Ancan angrily explained that he was only drunk and put on his face, that's all, he was not drunk.She took Shi Mi's hand and stuffed it into Mi Hao's hand, then turned around and picked up a cup from the table next to them to toast them for a lifetime of happiness.

Shi Mi and Mi Hao drank the glass of wine with a smile.

Liu Ancan poked the red mark on the side of Mi Hao's neck and said, "When your burn is healed, are you going to hold a wedding?"

Shi Mi quickly grabbed her hand, and said helplessly, "Doctor Liu, if you poke that tender skin that has grown so hard, it will fall off."

Liu Ancan waved his hands with a smile, pretending to be in pain: "Oh, the water poured out by the married daughter makes my heart ache now, alas..."

She acted without sincerity or sincerity, and people who watched it only found it funny.With her taking the lead, everyone stood up to make trouble for Mi Hao and Shi Mi.

Liu Ancan voluntarily backed away, stood beside Shen Qianyao, put one hand on Shen Qianyao's shoulder, smiled at the others making troubles about Shi Mi and Mi Hao, and sighed softly: "Ah, that's great. Qianyao, tell me, why didn't anyone give me a gift?" What about Su Jie?"

Shen Qianyao teased her with a smile: "Others have no vision. Dr. Liu deserves better in the future."

"Oh, no sincerity." Liu Ancan glanced at Shen Qianyao: "This is all nonsense. However, you have no one to give you a vegetarian ring, so it is useless to ask you."

Su Youqin looked at the two of them with a smile, and was stared at by Liu Ancan, which attracted the other party to say: "Boss Su didn't either, oh, let's get together as singles..."

Su Youqin frowned, and the mischievous element that had been buried for a long time jumped out. She pulled a clean tissue, quickly rolled it into two thin strips, and wound it into a small ring. She grabbed Shen Qianyao's left hand and put the ring on Shen Qianyao's middle finger. .Putting it back on for herself, she put both hands in front of Liu Ancan's eyes, looking at her proudly.

Liu Ancan was startled, her eyes widened.

Shen Qianyao laughed: "Hahahaha, don't you have it? White, no decoration, vegan ring, Boss Su and I have both. Doctor Liu, find someone else to hug you."

Liu Ancan kicked their hands and looked at them for several seconds, then lightly hammered his chest with a clenched fist: "Is that okay? Okay? Or do you guys know how to play? I'll find Xiao Weiwei to hold a group..."

She turned and left sadly.

Su Youqin put down the hand holding Shen Qianyao.

The two looked at each other, Shen Qianyao approached Su Youqin with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "Boss Su's ring is really unique, I really like it."
