Chapter 29 Chapter 29(1/2)
Even though Duan Yuche didn't like this polite uncle, he went to a few meals and listened to a concert of the orchestra. The orchestra had to perform in the other two cities, Duan Yuche must take his aunt home together.
She also brought a gift to Duan Yuche, which was a chocolate that he had never tried before.
The day Duan Yuche took her home, Duan Shumin happened to be not at home, so she asked: "Do your father often be so busy at work?"
"It's not... because it's the end of the year recently, and there are so many things happening in the bank."
"Who cooks for you when you are at home?" In fact, she was not very satisfied with Duan Shumin taking the child he sponsored home, but now she saw Tommy having a brother and relied on him, so she thought it was a good thing.
At least he has someone to accompany him.
"He eats at school when he goes to school, and he will cook it for me when he gets home." Duan Yuche pointed to Cao Feng, who has been taciturn, "It's better than his father."
"Is that true?" My aunt looked at Cao Feng and said, "Tomy called me before and often talked about you."
Cao Feng smiled shyly, feeling very excited and a little at a loss: "I'll go wash the fruit."
My aunt had a good impression of Cao Feng and felt that the child knew it was a good child and sensible at first glance. She asked Duan Yuche in a low voice: "In the past, Tommy didn't have an older brother, but now she has one, are you happy?"
"……Happy."
When Cao Feng came back with the fruit plate, he heard the two of them talking about the exam.
"You need to prepare a song called Xiao Lian, a complete Beethoven sonata, or you can choose Haydn, and also a work by Brahms or Liszt, the more difficult it is, the better..."
Duan Yuche seemed a little resistant: "I don't want to practice, I don't plan to learn this, I don't want to study abroad..."
Cao Feng's heart sank for a moment and put down the fruit plate: "Is Tommy going abroad to study for college?"
The aunt said helplessly: "I have this intention, but he doesn't seem to want to go."
Duan Yuche shook his head stubbornly, and his aunt touched his hair and said, "But that's good, it's good to stay in China." After all, Duan Yuche also has the inheritance left by her sister and grandfather. Those inheritances are enough for him to live a life of wealth and nothing to do. Even though she thinks that life should be realized, her carefree state is very suitable for her child who is born to be a little depressed. It would be even better if she had another partner who loves him.
My aunt only stayed for a week before leaving.
The school is preparing for the final exam at the end of January. Most students are reviewing and preparing for the exam. The same is true for Cao Feng. He likes to study extracurricular knowledge, but those involved in the exam dare not be careless. After all, this represents his scholarship and poverty fund.
The winter in Linzhou is biting cold, the damp and cold are everywhere, and the sun is always gone, and the gloomy weather makes people unwilling to learn.
That morning, Duan Yuche was sleeping in his beloved small blanket, and Ma Xiaobo came in with a stack of envelopes.
"Students." He called the class monitor first and sent the envelopes down, and then said, "The school organized a meaningful activity to write a letter to yourself ten years later. You can speak freely, put it in the envelope after writing, and write the address on the envelope."
"What letter should I write... Isn't it just writing an essay?" A classmate complained with a white envelope with the school badge printed on it.
"It's not about writing compositions." Ma Xiaobo explained patiently, "No teacher will check your letters, you can write whatever you want."
"This letter will be kept properly in the school's storage room and will be sent on January 1, 2016."
"Wow."
“Is it free?”
Ma Xiaobo nodded: "Free, the mailing fee is borne by the school. Students who are willing to participate will be handed over to the class leader next Monday."
The envelope was sent to Cao Feng's hand. Seeing Duan Yuche was resting, he helped him get it, but did not wake him up.
Cao Feng arrived home at night and only remembered when he opened his schoolbag and saw the envelope. He took the envelope and knocked on Duan Yuche's door.
"Cao Feng? What's the matter?" Duan Yuche was still the same, and he completed the puzzle one half. He was very patient in searching for a new piece every day. When he had time, he could spend the whole afternoon in this game.
"The school sent this, I forgot to give it to you."
"Envelope? What's the matter?"
"An activity organized by the school is... to write a letter to myself ten years later." Cao Feng roughly described it.
Duan Yuche showed an interesting expression: "So this letter will really be sent to me in ten years?"
"Well, it was sent out on January 1, 2016."
Duan Yuche looked up and asked him, "Then do you want to write?"
"You have to write." Cao Feng has this hobby, and he likes to write letters.
"How are you going to write? What do you think you will be like in ten years?" Duan Yuche suddenly began to discuss with him, "Ten years later, that is... twenty-six, seven or eight years old. If I could get into college, you and I should have graduated from college, you should have gotten married, and maybe you still have children!" And with Cao Feng's hardworking and diligent personality, he might have achieved some success.
Duan Yuche could easily think of Cao Feng's future, but he couldn't think of his own. Perhaps he was still like this, doing nothing, squandering adult money, and living the best and most boring life.
Cao Feng shook his head. Ten years later, he didn't know what he would be like. He just hoped that by then, he would be able to repay Uncle Duan with achievements. He and his younger brother were good friends. Perhaps he could make money to buy a larger house and let Duan Yuche move in. If he was in love, he could also let his partner move in... Cao Feng frowned involuntarily when he thought of this.
He couldn't help but ask Duan Yuche: "Where are you, Xiaoche, what do you have? What do you want to do in ten years?"
Duan Yuche thought for a while and said, "My father is too busy with work now and he is so tired. I want him to retire early and take him everywhere to play. He hasn't been abroad yet."
Cao Feng lowered his head and smiled, feeling that he was so filial and a little bitter. His younger brother really didn't have his own plan: "Uncle will be very happy to hear it."
"I'll just write it in the letter, I won't let him know."
Cao Feng returned to the room, took out the notebook he was reluctant to use, and cut it down with a rice ruler.
"Hello Cao Feng, who is now looking at this letter." He wrote on the letter paper.
"Now I live a happy life that I could not imagine before. I have a new family, uncle and younger brother, so I can't imagine what kind of life I will have in ten years, and will I still be as happy as I am now?"
"...I also have ulterior motives and can't tell anyone else. If you tell someone ten years later, it seems to be easier."
“…”
"Dear Tommy, I love you 256 times."
Cao Feng was timidly afraid to read the lengthy letter again. He packed it in a sealed bag, put it in the envelope, and then glued it with 502 glue.
At the same time, Duan Yuche also left his puzzle, opened the notebook, bit the tip of the pen and began to think about how to write this letter.
He began with the words “deartommy.”
While writing, read out loud.
In the second row, written in German: "Thank you, who is seventeen, for writing this letter to me."
The third row is written in scribbled French: "You are the only one in this world who can understand this letter."
The fourth row is written in Chinese: "I hope you who see this letter now is not lonely."
After turning the letter into the difficulty of Morse's password, Duan Yuche put it in the envelope with satisfaction and filled in the current address.
The envelope was handed over on Monday. The art class was self-study. Duan Yuche, who was playing Goji with the plane, suddenly saw the message on his phone.
Zhou Zeliang: "!!! Guess what happened!!"
"My goddess just agreed!!!"
Duan Yuche: "Who?"
"I told you that the senior high school senior I like, but she and I have a birthday one month younger than me. I can't call me senior. Now I am my girlfriend hahahaha."
Duan Yuche: "Really? Congratulations."
"Hahahahaha I'm going to accompany my girlfriend at noon, so you and Cao Feng go to the cafeteria."
"good."
If it were before, Duan Yuche suddenly received such a message, he would definitely be worried about gains and losses. Even his good friends were in love, what should he do?
But now, perhaps because Cao Feng is always by his side, he doesn’t have that kind of idea, but is simply happy for Zhou Zeliang.
In the afternoon, when Cao Feng went to the office, he accidentally met Zhou Zeliang. The other party was not like before. He rolled his eyes arrogantly when he saw him.
Cao Feng took the exercises from the office, and Zhou Zeliang stepped forward and chased after him: "Cao...Cao Feng, wait!"
He paused and looked at Zhou Zeliang. Zhou Zeliang scratched his head and said, "What... brother, I'll treat you to a meal next week. What do you want to eat?"
Of course Cao Feng knew the reason, so he shook his head and said no.
"How can you do it! You have helped so much. I was so sorry to you before... I was really sorry!" He said in shame, "I didn't expect you to be so kind to me and even help me chase girls." From Sun Miao, Zhou Zeliang learned that Cao Feng had helped a lot in this matter.
He was very puzzled and asked Sun Miao: "I am not familiar with him, why do you help me chase people? I also imitated my handwriting to help me write love letters. This is too..." Brothers can't do such a thing!
"Brother Feng said, you are his brother's friend. You are very upset, so I helped you. Thank you."
"I really thank you." Zhou Zeliang grabbed his wrist, "Really, I'm sincere. You must accept my sincere gratitude. You must eat this meal."
Cao Feng pulled his hand back quietly and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I wish you and her a long time."
Although he refused, he was surprised that he could not escape the meal.
It was Zhou Zeliang who called Duan Yuche and asked him to have a meal: "By the way, you can bring Cao Feng out too."
Even Duan Yuche was surprised, and Zhou Zeliang said: "I have discovered that I was really a little bad to him before and targeted him everywhere. Oh, you can't be like this in life."
He himself felt that it was a bit embarrassing for others to help him pursue others, so he didn't mention it, but he still had to invite a meal.
Cao Feng followed him to a lively Chongqing hotpot restaurant. In order to match Duan Yuche's taste, it is a double pot.
"It's not easy to finally invite you!" Zhou Zeliang's attitude towards Cao Feng was obviously different. "Come on, order food, what do you like to eat? Do you drink? Do you want Xiaoche to drink, will I order a snowflake?"
Cao Feng said: "The final exam will be next week, and Xiaoche and I will not drink it."
"Hey! That's next week. There are still many days left. And the weather is so cold, so it's warm to drink! In this way, I'll order a bottle and let's have a small cup for each person."
Cao Feng said "yes".
Zhou Zeliang took a bite and forced Cao Feng to take a sip of wine, and then sent another message, his face full of silly smiles during the passionate period.
