Marriage of the Republic of China

Chapter 45

Back to Baoding, after three days of class, Fu Wenge asked Chen Xiaomo to borrow his notes, and hurriedly made them up.The professors are rigorous in their studies, and their requirements for students are even stricter. Those with a slightly dull mind can be overwhelmed by the pressure of homework.Before the end of the first semester, more than ten people in the class had already left, and all of them were transferred to other schools without exception.

Among them, there are many family members who have practiced medicine for generations. They have memorized medical books and pharmacopoeias fluently. After entering university, they were confused by teaching chemistry, physics and mathematics.Like Chen Xiaomo, who used to do some acupuncture, but in the laboratory, he injected air needles into the veins of the rabbit's ears, and his hands trembled.

"It's a pity, the rabbit is so pitiful." Chen Xiaomo took the dead rabbit into his hand, "Take it back to Aunt Fang, and add something tonight."

Both Fu Wenge and Zhou Yunfei looked at him with "you're still eating" eyes.

Zhou Yunfei beat the "poor rabbit" to death and was laughed at by Aunt Fang, saying that he had never tasted starvation.Chen Xiaomo called half a catty of wine, bought some appetizers, and said to accompany Aunt Fang to drink two cups.He Lang also came with his younger brother and younger sister. Fu Wenge heard from him that today is Aunt Fang's 40th birthday.

Aunt Fang was very happy at first, but after drinking, she started to wipe her tears again when she talked about the past.In the year of the war, her man was recruited by the soldiers to become a strong man, transporting things, and the skin was broken on his leg by a shell.After finally escaping home, he had no money to go to the hospital for treatment. He was infected and burned like a piece of charcoal fire, and he died not long after.

The family lost support all of a sudden, so they had to send He Lang to his father's uncles and brothers to work as apprentices, so he lost a mouthful of food.At that time, she was still pregnant with her daughter, and she was dragging an ignorant young son, and her life was extremely difficult.Fortunately, the relatives of the man's family saw her as a widow, so they helped her for a while.Later, when her daughter was born, she went to a rich family to be a nanny.The young master who was raised by others was fat and fat, but his own daughter was thin and small.

Life is not so tight now, the eldest son He Lang is able to make money, the second son He Xuan is also an apprentice, and the youngest daughter He Lan said that she will work for a small business family and wait until the age of sixteen.Even if the family is not well-off, He Lang can't be called a daughter-in-law even in his twenties. She always feels sorry for her son.

Zhou Yunfei listened beside him, his eyes wandering to He Lang from time to time.Since Li Chunming moved away, He Lang also left the courtyard.He hadn't seen each other for a few days, but today in the picture above, he found that He Lang always avoided him.When eating, sit far away, each guarding a corner of the table, so that a diagonal line can be drawn between the two of them.

He Lang lifted the corner of his clothes to wipe Aunt Fang's tears, and persuaded: "Mom, you have suffered, I am not in a hurry to get married, and neither are you."

Zhou Yunfei tilted his head angrily, meeting Fu Wenge's gaze.Fu Wenge shook his head at him, reminding him not to play the young master's temper at the dinner table.He can see the careful thinking of these two people: He Lang doesn't like Zhou Yunfei, but he doesn't dare to climb high branches; Zhou Yunfei is also the kind of master who "I have to do whatever I want", so He Lang avoids him and hurts him self-esteem.

But emotional matters, can you really hide from them?

After eating, Fu Wenge urged Aunt Fang to go to rest, saying that he might ask the birthday star to work.Chen Xiaomo drank a few taels, but there was no trace of red on his face, it seemed that he had a little capacity for alcohol.He cleaned up the table and washed the dishes with Fu Wenge, and after finishing everything, he realized that Zhou Yunfei had gone somewhere.

Ask Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang said that Zhou Yunfei and He Lang sent their younger siblings home.When she said this, there was concern in her tone.To say that she really likes Zhou Yunfei, she looks energetic and kind, and has a sweet mouth.It's just that her family temple is too small to afford this big Buddha.

Aunt Fang took Fu Wenge's hand, and said earnestly: "The Zhou family has a scholarly family, and their ancestors were high officials. How could they find a family like us? It's not right if the family is not right. Besides, the Zhou family has to be accompanied by Master Yunfei." Gen Miao, we will not be able to recruit a son-in-law in the future? Yes, our He family is poor, but we can’t teach our relatives and neighbors to poke the spine, can we? Master Wen Ge, please help persuade Master Yunfei.”

Fu Wenge was speechless and felt helpless.If it is said that the family is wrong, he doesn't think it is an obstacle.He has seen Zhou Yunfei's parents before, so they are not unreasonable people.Zhou Yunfei's father was originally a poor student who was sent to study abroad by the government. He met Zhou Yunfei's mother at the fellowship meeting, and they fell in love at first sight.But at least his parents have achieved a positive result. When Zhou Yunfei came here, Fu Wenge didn't know if he was on a whim or if he was really determined to be with He Lang.According to Zhou Yunfei's temperament, it is probably the former, so he cannot firmly support the other party.

No wonder Aunt Fang was worried.He Langtu is honest and honest, although he is big, he is definitely a few feet behind Zhou Yunfei in terms of playing tricks.I'm afraid that when the time comes, the soul will be taken away and there will be no results, and then something will happen to the injury.

If you want to talk about this emotional injury, it can really make people fall into a state of ashes, which is more desperate than being decapitated.

On the next day off, Fu Wenge still arrived at school early.The day before, I made an appointment with Chen Xiaomo and the others to go to the library to review books together.Entering the reading room, only Chen Xiaomo was there, and Zhou Yunfei was nowhere to be seen.

Putting down his bag, Fu Wenge took out his book and asked, "Yunfei is lying in bed again?"

Chen Xiaomo stopped writing, and said coldly, "He hasn't come back all night."

Singer Fu Wen paused, and asked Chen Xiaomo with wide eyes, "How do you know?"

"I've never seen him get up early to make the quilt." Chen Xiaomo's eyes darkened, "After I got up, I saw that his room was neat and tidy, and he was standing at the door brushing his teeth. He told me that he had something to go out, and he wouldn't come to review his homework today. I After I packed up and went out, I saw He Da hiding behind the telephone pole at the street corner. When he saw me, his face was as red as a pig's liver."

"..."

Not knowing what to say, Fu Wenge rubbed away the wrinkles between his brows.As a friend, he has said everything that should be said. As for how to make a decision, that is Zhou Yunfei's own business.I just hope that these two people can really achieve a positive result and stop making any more stories.

After reading all morning, my neck is sore.Leaving the books to take up space, Fu Wenge and Chen Xiaomo went back to the courtyard for lunch.Originally he ate in the cafeteria, but found that the steamed buns in the cafeteria were harder than rocks, and pancakes were the same.The vegetables were fried again as if they forgot to put salt.I heard that it was because the school was short of funds, and the food in the cafeteria was at a loss, so there was nothing to choose.

After two meals, Fu Wenge decided to go to the small courtyard to join Zhou Yunfei and the others. He would go every day at noon and dinner depending on the situation.Aunt Fang calculated carefully, and only charged him five yuan a month for food, no matter whether it was fried vegetables or stewed vegetables, he could always see meat at every meal.

When he came home late at night, Bai Hanchen often took him out for supper.He felt that he seemed to be a little fatter, but he didn't know where his father and grandma found out that he had lost weight.

Walking towards the school gate, the two of them were talking when they ran into Zheng Hongsheng walking past with a tall girl.Chen Xiaomo's expression was lost in an instant, and the head that was originally raised was lowered.Fu Wenge deliberately dragged him to the path to avoid those two people, but Zheng Hongsheng took the initiative to say hello.

Zheng Hongsheng brought the girl in front of them, and introduced him: "This is my fiancee, Ning Fang. Ning Fang, this is Chen Xiaomo and Fu Wenge, I mentioned it to you."

Fu Wenge felt that he might be a little paranoid, and felt that Zheng Hongsheng's words were only for Chen Xiaomo.Maybe it was to break Chen Xiaomo's thoughts?he thinks.Seeing Ning Fang reaching out her hand generously to Chen Xiaomo, she couldn't help but feel a twinge in her heart.

Chen Xiaomo lowered her head, and when she saw a tender hand stretched out in front of her, she held it hastily, and then let it go.He had heard Zhou Yunfei say that Zheng Hongsheng had a fiancée, and meeting him today really wiped out all the thoughts in his heart.

Fu Wenge also shook hands with Ning Fang, and said politely: "I heard that Miss Ning is a teacher, are you a teacher now?"

"I've already resigned, and I'm going to accompany Hong Sheng to study in France after the Chinese New Year." Ning Fang's speech and demeanor showed the demeanor of a lady, neither restrained nor ostentatious.No makeup was applied on that delicate face, which was the most natural beauty.She is tall and slender, standing with the bookish Zheng Hongsheng, they are really a couple.

Fu Wenge felt Chen Xiaomo's breath tense beside him, and hurriedly asked, "Study abroad? Senior Zheng, I haven't heard you mention it."

Zheng Hongsheng was a little embarrassed: "Father-in-law said that studying medicine is not as good as studying medicine. Let me go abroad to get a doctorate and come back."

The money for studying abroad is still given by the father-in-law's family. Although there is no need to explain it to outsiders, it always teaches him that he lacks confidence.When Ning Fang came here this time, she brought his father's words to him: go home during the Chinese New Year and get married, then the young couple will go to France together, the son-in-law will study, and the daughter will accompany her.

"The situation in Europe is chaotic, I'm afraid it's not safe to go out now." Chen Xiaomo's voice sounded a little trembling.He can bury his thoughts in his heart, hiding them and keeping them from coming out.But when he thought about not being able to see Zheng Hongsheng in the future, his heart felt like being sawed by a blunt saw, and it hurt so much.

Before Zheng Hongsheng could answer, Ning Fang said: "A man, he should go out and learn a lot. It doesn't matter if it's messy, I'll accompany him."

Let's say that she looks like a weak woman, but she has such courage and insight, which can't help but make people look sideways.And so affectionate, it really made Zheng Hongsheng unable to say no.Even though he also wanted to live unrestrainedly like Qin Xuehui, looking for someone who truly matched his soul, he did not dare to disappoint his father-in-law and his fiancée.

"It's true, Miss Ning, women don't give way to men."

After Chen Xiaomo finished speaking, she nodded at the two of them, and dragged Fu Wenge away in a hurry.If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that the blood in his heart would choke out from his throat.Falling in love with someone is sometimes only a momentary thing, but to completely bury a relationship, it takes years and months, which can often teach people to peel off their skin.If there is no time to say it, there will never be a chance to say it again. I can only silently wish the other party a happy and healthy life in my heart.

Being dragged out of the school gate by Chen Xiaomo, Fu Wenge saw that his shoulders were trembling uncontrollably, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

"Cry." He persuaded, "Just cry."
