It was been almost three months since university’s start of a new term, Yan Chu already used to the intense and enthusiastic learning atmosphere of this year’s college students. Now the weather was getting warmer. He wore his wife’s hand-woven dark blue thin sweater and a pair of loose jeans, carrying a bag of buns and ready to go home.

Although Lin Dingding was a southerner, she liked to eat the northern noodles. As her stomach gradually began to show, whether Yan Chu or Yan Xun were too afraid to let her went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. Now for three meals a day, Yan Chu basically were taken home all of them from school.

Yanjing University’s canteen was still very famous, especially Master Fu who made the mán tou[1]. It both fragrant, had tenacity and the weight was also sufficient. Yan Chu and Yan Xun both were two big men, as long as they ate two people portion they would be full. Lin Dingding’s appetite became bigger after pregnancy, and for one meal she ate one and a half at most.

Mán tou

He thought about passing through the free market and conveniently took a look if there was any nearby suburb’s vegetable farmers carrying their own dish on the shoulder pole to sell. If there were, he had to buy some back, stir-frying a vegetarian dish, and then together with yesterday bought tofu to make a bowl of soup. On top of that, at home still had the half not finished eating chicken, today’s meal was almost ready.

Tofu soup

Yan Chu looked to the wrapped up mán tou at his hands and couldn’t help to smile, he felt that he had innate skill to become a househusband.

“Yan Chu, are you Yan Chu?”

When he was walking on the avenue of the campus, suddenly a young man with a tall, handsome, and forthright appearance came out, and there were seven or eight strange men and women behind him.

Yan Chu narrowed his eyes to look at people, didn’t expect the capital was so small. He hadn’t looked up, those people themselves came over first.

“When you come to the capital? You don’t talk to and on bad terms with your family!? Do you know how worried Aunt Gao is in these days?”

Jiang Donglin looked at Yan Chu with very dissatisfied expression showing in his eyes. He had never liked this younger brother brought by his stepmother. He was gloomy and depressing, made people felt agitated just from looking at him. The most important thing was this younger brother was good at studying. They were only one year of age difference, they was often compared together by people. In Jiang Donglin’s view, he was nothing more than a dragged oil bottle[2] brought by his stepmother. He ate and drank from their home, why everything was still pressured on his head?

At this time, Jiang Donglin looked at Yan Chu’s dress, and remembered that they were currently standing in the campus of Yanjing University, his heart had a faint guess.

Impossible, Yan Chu previous performance was good, but he had been in the countryside to live on rural community for two or three years. Those knowledge he had learned should be almost forgotten. He was very happy when he was admitted to politics and law major in university. For this purpose, a few tables of banquet were held by his family. Jiang Donglin didn’t believe that this younger brother, who had been exiled to the countryside, had ability to be admitted to Yanjing University.

“Donglin, who is this ah? You do not introduce him to us.”

Jiang Donglin’s friend stood behind him, asking with a giggle and pointing at Yan Chu, who wasn’t far away.

One of the female student looked at Yan Chu’s appearance and style of dress, there are some changes, he could appear in the school were basically students of Yanjing University. She saw the Citizen[3] wrist watch on Yan Chu wrist, her father also has one, it was bought and satisfying scene ever. He had spent more than three hundred kuai[4], nearly four or five months of salary, mad her mom reminisce about it for a very long time.

The boy was still a student wearing such a good watch, it seemed that the conditions at his home must be very good.

“This is dìdi[5] that my stepmother brought, Yan Chu.”

Jiang Donglin saw interest of a few girls behind him toward Yan Chu. He loathed Yan Chu and one thing was his appearance was too picky. Especially when he was a child, he was lovely like jade snow[6], and the elders around him would praise him.

He knew that Yan Chu most cared about his biological mother and a pair of younger siblings who was born later, therefore why he liked to be close to the woman he emphatically didn’t like in his presence and the two little hybrids who snatched his father? He knew that Gao Yaqin wanted to please him, just by this point, made Yan Chu increasingly felt wronged.

He watched him from the beginning of the lively and cheerful little boy, turned into a gloomy and quiet youth afterwards. So what if there was a good vessel? All the elders would only liked sweet-talking and lively, looked to be strong in qi[7] and cheerful child of him to get along with.

Jiang Donglin looked at this combed neatly short hair head, handsome five sense organ[8], and fair-skinned youth. The other’s eyes were crystal clear, watching him as if his inner ugliness were visible, which makes Jiang Dong was surprised, at the same time there was also some fretful, he felt that everything was starting to break away from his control.

“Yan Chu, Aunt Gao is very worried about you. You came to the capital and didn’t go to see her at home. These days, she had been sent letter and stuffs to your small village that you lived on a rural community. She never received your reply and thought that something happened to you. She is ready to ask for leave to see you.”

Jiang Donglin’s appearance followed his father, thick eyebrows, sharp edges and corners, and looked very upright. He quietly looked at Yan Chu’s expression at this time, while not forgetting to secretly discredit him to the people around him.

“I know you blame Aunt Gao for sending you to the countryside, but that is also because of the policy at that time. All these years, every time your birthday she was crying. You still remember your father is labor reformer at that time and Aunt Gao painstakingly brought you up by herself. Don’t tell me you not care about this life grace and nurturing?”

Jiang Donglin’s voice was very loud. When he spoke, many students who passed by couldn’t help but stopped to look around at the group of people, especially when they heard Jiang Donglin’s righteousness rhetoric accusations. They couldn’t help to look at the unfilial son Yan Chu with eyes full of contempt.

“Is he in our school? We still have such a kind of people in our school. There are quite a lot of students who went to the countryside to live on a rural community. Because of this, even his own biological mother can’t recognized him. Just a moment ago he said that his father is a criminal labor reformer, he is following his dear dad, I presume.”

“It’s a pity that pretty face and talented person, I didn’t expect he actually a white-eyed wolf[9].”

Jiang Donglin listened to the whispering of the passing students, his eyes flashed a hint of self-satisfaction. Whether or not Yan Chu was a student of Yanjing University, as long as he was even for one day, Yan Chu must be crushed down by him.

“Isn’t that Yan Chu, a freshman in the finance and economics faculty? My roommate often talks about other things in the dormitory, saying that some of his opinions even made the professor who listened ashamed of being inferior[10]. I didn’t expect he unexpectedly had that kind of moral standing, my roommate was white blind[11] to think highly of him.”

“Is there anything else? I think our school shouldn’t only attach importance to subject education, but also improve students’ ideological education. He should be a good critic of his classmates who don’t care for his biological mother who raised him.”

With more and more people watching, Yan Chu’s identity had also been came out. The latecomers didn’t know the truth, the people on the side would relayed the words they just heard to them. All of a sudden, Yan Chu became the object of public censure.

“This classmate, there’s one thing I have to refute.”

Yan Chu didn’t take Jiang Donglin, but walked to the front of a young man who had just softly accused him.

“What do you want to do? Want to hit me?” The young man didn’t think that Yan Chu would directly found him. He stepped back a small half step and looking at the eyes of the people on his side. He mustered his confidence, sticked out his chest, stretching his neck and talking toward Yan Chu.

“You just said that my dad is a labor reformer. I want to tell you that my dad has been rehabilitated. If you are a student at Yanjing University, you should have heard his name. He name is Yan Xun, a professor of history and literature. Compulsory, you are probably still his student.”

Yan Xun before □□ was a well-known professor of Yanjing University, the lecturer on history and literature. This course wasn’t only a major course in philosophy, literature and history, but also a compulsory subject for other majors. Because the college entrance examination had just resumed and some professors hadn’t returned, currently Yanjing University lecturers weren’t sufficient. Three lecturers of history and literature were responsible for all majors in the history and literature in the freshman year. Therefore Yan Chu said it wasn’t a big story to say that Yanjing University students were familiar with him.

The young man who had just been confident was like a balloon that had been punctured. His lecturer of literature and history was Yan Xun. At this time, he could only thank the young man opposite him for not knowing his name. He estimated that if he made a small report to Professor Yan, he didn’t know who he was.

“Yan Chu is actually Professor Yan’s son, which is really unexpected.” The whispers on the side grew louder. The ones who said malicious words toward Yan Chu just a moment ago were quietly moved to the outer circle, fearing that their face would be written down by him.

“In fact, look at it now, Yan Chu and Professor Yan are really alike. It’s merely Professor Yan is old and Yan Chu is young. I finally believe what our professor said before. He said that when Professor Yan known as the light of Yanjing, in addition to praising his professional attainments, but also his face. It is said that there were many female lecturers and female students who liked Professor Yan. But it was a pity that Professor Yan was a good man with only his wife and child in his eyes and had been wronged for treason. Many female students had been crying for several days.”

“Is there anything like that?”

The people on the side looked at Yan Chu and Jiang Donglin on the side. Suddenly they remembered the meaning of Jiang Donglin’s words.

The Aunt Gao in Jiang Donglin’s mouth was estimated to be Professor Yan’s ex-wife, which was Yan Chu’s biological mother. It was only after Professor Yan’s accident that she remarried to Jiang Dong’s family and then took Yan Chu to Jiang Jia[12]. The circumstance should be like this, right?

In this way, everyone thought about the woman who didn’t hesitate to leave her marriage with a very loyal husband after her husband’s accident. The senses in their heart were momentary a bit in discrepancy and Jiang Donglin’s accusations just recently had been brought up some doubt.

“Donglin, what’s going on?”

This one point Jiang Donglin overlooked was really embarrassing him, he didn’t know anything about Yan Chu’s father matter. In his view, Yan Chu’s father should still be reformed in the northwest farm and Yan Chu was still burdened with the stain of social status, ok?

If he had known that Yan Chu’s biological father had returned and had become a professor at Yanjing University, he wouldn’t had said those words just now. If he was such a stupid person, he wouldn’t had coaxed Gao Yaqin that shrewd woman, and sent Yan Chu to the countryside to live on a rural community.

Jiang Donglin clenched his fists and looked across the man who was breeze was light and the clouds were light[13]. It was only been two or three years away, what had made him changed so much in the end?
