When Wang Kaiyun saw Du Juan for the first time, his heart skipped a beat, and he could never forget this figure ever since.

Wang Kaiyun lives in the same alley as Du Juan, the difference is that he lives in a low and dilapidated one-story house, while Du Juan lives in the second-floor bungalow of Sister Yu's house. Although this bungalow is also very dilapidated, it is almost the same as the nearby Bungalows are a mix.

Wang Kaiyun just passed away this year. He was the apprentice of Sister Yu's husband Lei Zhenyu and a worker in Yangpu Power Plant. When he was 13 years old, his father died and his family lost the mainstay.

Under Lei Zhenyu's strong recommendation, Wang Kaiyun went to a power plant as an apprentice, doing some odd jobs, and besides one lunch, he could also receive a salary of three yuan a month.

Three years ago, Wang Kaiyun became a full-time worker after completing his apprenticeship, and his salary rose to 6 yuan a month, but just after he became a full-time worker, something happened to his master.

After Lei Zhenyu passed away, Wang Kaiyun has been busy helping Sister Yu to make ends meet. Every month, he will save one yuan or eighty cents from his food expenses, and give it to Sister Yu after three or two months. go.

During the holidays, he would collect donations from Lei Zhenyu's former friends in the factory, and the workers would chip in a sum of money so that the orphans and widows could live a stable year.

But the wages of the workers are already very low, and they have to support a large family, so there is really not much money to spend.

Sister Yu knew the situation of these workers. They lived like this when Lei Zhenyu was alive. At that time, she still had some jewelry and only had one child. .

She asked Wang Kai to tell the workers, and she took everyone's wishes, and don't send her any more money, even if it is sent, she will not accept it.

After she rented the second floor where she lived to Du Juan, her financial embarrassment was relieved at once. Apart from having to sleep with her son in the narrow utility room on the first floor, her daily life was more spacious than when Lei Zhenyu was alive. .

The fried steamed buns and condensed milk that Du Juan brought back from the factory every day were really good things. Not only did the malnourished mother and child recover completely, but they also became much stronger.

Du Juan liked Xiao Jiu very much, so he simply regarded Xiao Jiu as his godson, and said that he would support Xiao Jiu with Sister Yu, and send him to school if he was older. A pillar of society with knowledge and ability.

In the evening, Xiao Jiu is often taken upstairs to sleep by Du Juan, who teaches him to read and write. Xiao Jiu also relies on and likes this new godmother.

Although Du Juan has not been to school for a day, she has received a complete knowledge of classical culture. This is a compulsory course for every girl in Changsanshuyu. She has learned Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuanqu from the beginning of the Four Books. Of course, some people do not like to learn. Just listen to the fur.

Du Juan is eager to learn, not only does his husband teach well, but he also asks for advice on his own initiative, and he can still recite many famous chapters.

She started with literacy and taught Xiaojiu to read the Three Character Classics and Hundred Family Surnames, in order to lay a solid foundation for the children.

In fact, Sister Yu is also a literate person. She did not teach her children to read and write. Firstly, the child was still young. In addition, she felt that even if the child was willing to study, she would not have money for him to study in the future, so she simply gave up the idea.

It's different now, Du Juan agreed to let Xiao Jiu read, and the thoughts in Sister Yu's heart came alive again, and she also began to teach Xiao Jiu to read with Du Juan. In just two months, Xiao Jiu was able to memorize the Three Character Classic. I can also read all the characters on the family name.

Du Juan is going to teach Xiaojiu to read the Analects of Confucius next step. Although she doesn't know what books are taught to children in the school, she thinks that as a Chinese, Analects of Confucius must be read at any time.If the Chinese do not read the Analects, it means that they have forgotten their ancestors.

A week after Du Juan lived in Sister Yu's house, she ran into Wang Kaiyun on the way home from get off work. The two met at the entrance of the alley and walked in the same direction.

Wang Kaiyun was dumbfounded the first time he saw Du Juan.

He later described that he felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and he was completely numb, standing there like a wooden sculpture made of clay.

When he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long it had passed.The image of those few seconds was played repeatedly in his mind: a girl like a celestial being walked lightly in front of him, and the heels of her shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the cinder road.

He stared blankly at the direction Du Juan was going away, as if Du Juan's back was still appearing in front of his eyes.

He couldn't believe that such a girl would appear in this dilapidated civilian area, only in the "four major department stores" on Nanjing Road in Shanghai Bund.

"Stupid boy, don't look at it, you are not good enough for him, he has his master. I don't think this little girl will live here for long." At this moment, a person patted his arm and smiled.

Wang Kaiyun looked back, but it was the neighbor Wang Grandma.

He nodded, completely agreeing with Grandma Wang. He is indeed not worthy of others. Compared with Du Juan, Du Juan is a heavenly man. He is the most common cinder on this road. He has no more demands, just I would rather be stepped on by the cuckoo every day.

Since this moment, the shadow of Du Juan has never left his mind. He thinks of Du Juan when he eats, and thinks of Du Juan when he sleeps. He has no intention, but he just can't stop himself from thinking about Du Juan.

After his old mother knew what was on her son's mind, she just sighed and didn't try to persuade her son.

From this day on, Wang Kaiyun hurried home after get off work, and then he listened intently to the movement in the alley. Once he heard Du Juan's footsteps, he rushed out like a demon, and watched Du Juan passing in front of his eyes obsessively. , and would not return to the room until long after the cuckoo had disappeared.

Wang Kaiyun's mother knew that her son was thinking of a woman, so she started looking for a matchmaker everywhere to arrange a marriage for her son.

Wang Kaiyun is similar to his master Lei Zhenyu. He is also tall and handsome, with a cheerful personality. When the neighbors around have something to do, he will take the initiative to help without calling him.

Wang Kaiyun works in Yangpu Power Plant. He has a stable job, a relatively high salary, and he is handsome. His elder brother is the only one in the family, so there is no more burden.

In the eyes of ordinary people, such a young man is of course a very good marriage.

Many families intended to betroth their daughters to this young man. Wang Kaiyun's mother would tell him every night what happened to the daughters of this family and what happened to the daughters of that family.

They are all girls who grew up in the neighborhood, they know their roots, they are both virtuous and beautiful, and they must be good housekeepers after marriage.

Wang Kaiyun couldn't listen to a word. He waited for his mother to finish, and then shook his head. Sometimes when he asked urgently, his head shook like a rattle, and his mother scolded him for several days.

Mother knew that a girl who looked like Miss Jiao lived in the alley a while ago, and she looked like she was not a daughter-in-law that a commoner family could keep.

It's one thing for someone to see their son, but it's another for their own family to be able to pretend to be him. This kind of love at first sight is far from marriage.

When the mother got angry, she scolded her son. All the toads in the world wanted to eat swan meat, but did anyone eat it?In the end, I couldn't get anything, and my marriage was delayed in vain.

Du Juan didn't know what was on Wang Kaiyun's mind, and he didn't care about this man. Although the young man looked very energetic, he was just very energetic.

This is Du Juan's best evaluation of Wang Kaiyun, and it has nothing to do with being handsome and beautiful.

In Du Juan's eyes, Lu Ming is the only man in this world who is handsome and beautiful, otherwise, she wouldn't be so desperately in love with her.

Wang Kaiyun looked at him with special eyes, a little focused, a little excited, and a little shy, but she has long been used to it, and she is not surprised.

Every time she walks through the alley, there are not a hundred or eighty pairs of eyes staring at her, from children as young as seven or eight years old, to elderly people as old as seven or eighty years old, and even older girls and daughters-in-law. look at her.

She herself wondered, they were all the same person, what was there for her to see?

Once Sister Yu told her with a smile that there was a young man in the alley who suffered from lovesickness because of her. Du Juan just smiled lightly and didn't answer a word. Every day, she deliberately goes out to seduce men like a vixen.
