Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Since Ran Jingxuan was a returned overseas Chinese, there was a great possibility that he would be targeted. During this period, he would probably be worried every day, unable to eat or sleep at night. Ran Qiuye came to see him, probably because something happened to Professor Ran, and she naturally wanted him to think of a solution.

"Brother, my dad was dragged to the square yesterday."

As soon as she entered the office, Ran Qiuye grabbed Qin Zheng's arm, said just one sentence, and then burst into tears.

Looking at the out-of-control and haggard Ran Qiuye, Qin Zheng felt a little sad. The impression given by this girl was that she was always gentle, quiet, dignified and elegant, and never panicked.

But now, this simple-minded, well-educated, elegant and dignified girl has become a frightened deer, completely at a loss.

Anyone who has watched "Love in the Full Moon" knows that the reason why Ran Qiuye is liked by many people is because her values, outlook on life and values ​​​​are very positive. She loves her job, is optimistic about life, and even when she suffers injustice, she silently shoulders her own responsibilities without being indignant or complaining.

Qin Zheng once analyzed that the ending of Ran Qiuye in the play would definitely not be good.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because, in the context of the times, she can't work normally, can't live a normal life. If she remains single, she will have to endure loneliness. If she wants to get married, it will be difficult to marry the person she likes.

No matter how cheerful a person is, if he or she cannot enjoy the sunshine and rain for ten years, his or her life will lose its original brightness.

Qin Zheng helped Ran Qiuye and asked her to sit down on the sofa. After she calmed down, he asked, "Qiuye, don't cry. Is Teacher Ran okay now?"

"I was dragged to the square yesterday and told that my father was a representative of feudalism, capitalism, and revisionism, and a bad element. They will definitely not let him go in the future."

"No one was hurt?"

He didn't ask whether he had been wronged or insulted. That was certain, there was no need to ask. The difference was just the severity.

"No one is injured, but my waist hurts a little today."

"Are you okay today?"

"I'm at home. Schools are closed."

Qin Zheng nodded, then picked up the phone and dialed.

"Shaokang, wait for me at the south gate of your school in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zheng said, "Qiu Ye, let's go to your house."

"Brother, please don't go. I'm afraid it will implicate you. I came to you to ask if you know any leaders of the school's revolutionary committee. Can you..."

Ran Qiuye was hesitant to speak, but her meaning was clear: she wanted Qin Zheng to find someone who could help Teacher Ran suffer less.

"Hahaha, are you worried about affecting me? Don't worry, let's go."

Qin Zheng already had enough understanding of Ran Qiuye's kindness. He had already secretly decided that anyone who caused trouble for him and his family would have no other outcome except death.

When he reached the door, Qin Zheng suddenly asked again: "Qiu Ye, what about you? Has it affected you?"

"I, I, I'm fine. I'm still the same, sweeping the floor at school."

Looking at her expression, Qin Zheng knew that she was lying. She didn't want to worry him, so he asked again.

"Were you also struck?"

"Well, now I not only have to sweep the floor, but I'm also asked to clean the toilet."

Qin Zheng didn't continue the topic and walked downstairs silently.

On the way, Ran Qiuye recounted what happened yesterday from beginning to end.

"Teacher Ran, Aunt Qi, are you all right?"

When she heard footsteps outside the door, Qi Wei thought someone was here to cause trouble again. She was very scared and was hesitating whether to open the door when she heard her daughter opening the door.

"Qin Zheng is here, come in quickly."

Ran Jingxuan sat on the sofa. Seeing Qin Zheng, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine. Why are you here now? You shouldn't have come."

This father and daughter are really well-mannered and considerate of others.

"Teacher Ran, how are you? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"You're not injured, no need to go to the hospital."

Ran Jingxuan looked haggard, but his expression was calm, which seemed to imply that he was neither happy with things nor sad with himself.

He is well-educated and has a strong character, but the same cannot be said for Qi Wei and Ran Qiuye. One can tell from their faces that they are both a little at a loss. Of course, the biggest reason is their worry about Ran Jingxuan.

"Teacher Ran, can you tell me who is the leader?"

"The leader was a student, but not one of mine. I seemed to hear that he was from the Geography Department. He was short, thin, and wore glasses. I couldn't remember his name."

"I know who it is. Teacher Ran, I have a house in Houhai. You can move in with me for a while. When I have settled things here, you can move back."

Ran Jingxuan shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to leave, and I can't leave. That would make me a real reactionary, and I would be charged with one more crime."

"Teacher Ran, don't you believe I can solve it?"

"That's not the case. I'm not a pedantic person. If you really have a way to let me live a normal life, I would be very happy. But I really can't leave here."

"I understand. Teacher Ran, I'll be leaving first."

"Well, if you don't have to, don't come."

Qin Zheng smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

Qin Zheng didn't want to fight an unprepared battle, so a few months ago, you checked the leaders of some units and made a list.

The leader that Teacher Ran mentioned is named Shen Minghui. He is on Qin Zheng’s list and is the deputy director. He does things crazily and has no bottom line. He cannot be understood by common sense.

Qin Zheng drove to the south gate of the school and stopped the car. Ten seconds later, a man opened the door and got in.

"Brother Qin Zheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The person who got into the car was named Guo Shaokang. He was the younger brother of Guo Shaojie, the company instructor when Qin Zheng was the company commander in the Korean battlefield. He was a senior student and now a middle-level cadre of the school revolutionary committee.

Although Guo Shaojie is a soldier, he is gentle and well-mannered, and is adept at political work. He is now a regimental-level cadre. Qin Zheng has never lost contact with him. When his younger brother was admitted to university, he entrusted Qin Zheng to take care of him.

Guo Shaokang respects his elder brother very much, and naturally respects Qin Zheng as well. He often listens to his teachings and is considered a fan of Qin Zheng.

"Shaokang, next, you have to strive to take over Shen Minghui's position."

"Got it. I will do my best to get this position."

As for why he wanted to strive to replace Shen Minghui, he didn't even ask. Since Qin Zheng said so, it meant that Shen Minghui would definitely lose this position. He trusted Qin Zheng so much.

"Well, Professor Ran Jingxuan from your school was dragged to the square yesterday. He is my elder, so I will take good care of him in the future."

"I understand what you mean, don't worry."

Just two days later, Guo Shaokang got the position he wished for.
