Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Qiu Luming had long been aware of Zheng Wei's affection for her, but had always pretended not to know. She also hoped that he would give up when faced with difficulties, so that they would not even be able to remain friends.

She pretended not to hear his question because of the strong wind and continued riding her bike.

Zheng Wei didn't ask any more questions and just followed her silently.

Passing by the food company, Qiu Luming found that the door sign had been replaced by the Fuli Ballroom. Before it was completely dark, the colorful lights in front of the door were already flashing. Some young men rode bicycles and motorcycles, or walked to the door of the ballroom arm in arm, to buy tickets to enter.

Seeing Qiu Luming looking over there, Zheng Wei took the initiative to explain, "A group of workers from the food company were laid off, and this half of the store was rented out. This is a dance hall opened by the brother of the governor of the People's Bank of China. It opened on New Year's Day. You don't take this road to work, so you don't know. Yang Dawei and I went in once. The ticket price was five yuan, and the nut platter was ten yuan a plate. It was full of people, some in their thirties and forties."

Seeing Qiu Luming looking back at him, he explained, "I only went there that one time. I'm not lying to you. Yang Dawei said he learned it from Guangzhou and Hong Kong. It's very fashionable. He insisted on taking me to broaden my horizons. But when I went in, I was dazzled by the spinning lights. I also saw women with exposed arms and legs. They danced with me for money. I sat there for a while and then left. I don't know how to dance."

"You can go as many times as you want! What are you telling me?"

"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand!" Zheng Wei smiled.

Qiu Luming frowned, "Why is there such a place on the street?"

"Alas, this dance hall is different from the one in the cultural center, and it will definitely not be the last one. Times have changed without us noticing. Did you know that there are two hair salons on the commercial street? They say they also offer massages after washing your hair."

"I was wondering why I saw a few women dressed up like voluptuous girls on the street. They don't look like people from our county. It turns out that this trend has changed again!" Qiu Luming had always been thankful that there were no places for drinking and drinking, no casinos, and no one smoked opium in this era. Suddenly, dance halls appeared on the streets. Presumably, even if there were no opium dens and casinos in Jiayang, other places would have them.

"Your second brother didn't tell you that those women were registered with the Public Security Bureau and paid money!" Zheng Wei added with a rumble.

Qiu Luming's three views were completely shattered and he felt disgusted.

The street lights were dim. On the solid and smooth road, an old man who was walking slowly and carefully sat down on the ground and couldn't move for a long time. Before Qiu Luming could sigh, she also fell down with a clang. The bicycle made a sound as if it was about to fall apart. She rubbed her knees in annoyance. Zheng Wei had already picked up her bicycle, checked it, and said, "It's done!" after straightening the handlebars.

If you get distracted while chatting, you'll definitely fall over.

"Go and help that old man..." Qiu Luming raised his hand only to find that someone had already helped the old man up.

She then vented her anger by saying, "Didn't they say that the units on both sides of the street would be responsible for clearing the snow in the shared area? Why is there still so much snow? Look how clean the street on the west side is!"

"Workers from two companies here are making trouble because of layoffs. No one is shoveling snow. There is a 200-meter-long road with no one to take care of the snow."

Qiu Luming held onto the handlebars, feeling a little scared as she was afraid of falling again.

In fact, when riding a bike in winter, I always feel a little nervous before getting on the bike.

"Do you still dare to ride?" Zheng Wei asked with one foot on the ground.

Qiu Luming looked at his long legs with envy, calmed himself and said, "What are you afraid of?"

After saying that, he got on the bike carefully and rode away slowly.

After passing the North Street section, the rest of the asphalt road was very clean, and Qiu Luming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We soon got to Binjiang Road and arrived at our home.

Zheng Wei got off his bicycle and wanted to help Qiu Luming push the bike into the door. "The cars in big hotels all drive to the door from the gentle slopes on both sides. I'll help you build a cement gentle slope next to the steps, so you don't have to go through so much trouble to get in and out every day."

"No need." Qiu Luming refused immediately.

"Are you afraid that I will pester you?" Zheng Wei laughed and said casually, "I am not that kind of person. Don't worry about being with Fei Yuanhang. You will definitely be happy in the future!"

Zheng Wei helped Qiu Luming push the bicycle into the yard, turned around, got on the bicycle and rode away quickly.

He Manshu had heard the sound of the door and came out to see her, "Are you back? Who sent you back? Why didn't you let someone come in and sit for a while?" He Manshu thought it was that Mou Shanjiang.

"It's Zheng Wei. They're still drinking and are in a hurry to get back."

"Oh. I thought..."

After entering the house, Qiu Luming hugged He Manshu, "Mom!"

He Manshu was startled, "What happened again?"

Qiu Luming leaned on He Manshu's shoulder and said, "Mom, Yuanhang's mom agreed."

"Agreed? So you..." He Manshu pushed Qiu Luming away and looked at her, "So you guys got back together?"

"Yeah. His family actually found a celestial being to exorcise the evil spirit for him. He was so weird. Principal Fei even wanted me to stay for dinner, but I refused because I remembered what you said."

He Manshu nodded, not knowing whether she was happy or angry, "I understand."

"Mom, you are unhappy." Qiu Luming understood that her mother was worried about her future relationship with the mother-in-law, but she really didn't want to think too much about it now. She didn't want to be rational, and she couldn't bear to leave Fei Yuanhang.

"Of course I'm not happy!" He Manshu took off her apron and stopped cooking. "Oh, he disliked you before because you were a jinx, and now his son is the unlucky one, and you agree again? Ha! There is no such a cheap thing in the world!"

"Well, I didn't think that much..."

"What is Fei Yuanhang thinking? He is so unlucky, but he has the heart to bring trouble to you? He can be hit by billboards when he walks, how can I let you walk with him without worrying about it!"

"Mom, how could he always be so unlucky..."

"Anyway, I don't agree! Ask his mother to come and talk to me. I want to ask her what she thinks."

Qiu Luming returned to his room in annoyance. Qiu Jiye followed him to the door and asked, "Yo Yo, what happened to Yuanhang's injury?"

"What happened? It was just a strong wind that blew off the billboard and hit my leg. Dad, don't you agree?"

"Alas, you have to live your life in the end, so you decide for yourself. But after this incident, you should respect yourself more and don't make decisions on impulse and give up this job that 99% of the girls in Jiayang envy."

"Dad, I see."

On Monday morning, Qiu Luming had just wiped his desk clean and hung the rag up when he received a call from Qin Huifang. She said half seriously and half jokingly, "You guy, why did you run away first? I was waiting for you to come back! You don't even care about Meifen? It was Lao Ma and Lao Yang who sent her home.

By the way, what happened to Zheng Wei? He kept drinking after sending you back, and soon got drunk, and fell under the table with a thud. "

"How should I know?" Qiu Luming felt a little guilty.

Qin Huifang probably knew something about Zheng Wei's thoughts. She said, "This person has been stubborn since he was a child. If he can't do it, just give him a chance!"

"Fei Yuanhang is back."

"Ah?" Qin Huifang was silent for a few seconds. "...His mother agreed again, right? Her son has become unlucky, so she agreed, right?"

Qin Huifang's first reaction was exactly the same as He Manshu's.

"Qiu Luming! Can't you be a little tougher? Don't bother with them!"

After waiting for a while and seeing no response from Qiu Luming, he continued, "Okay then, I support you. As long as you're happy, as long as you don't lose any more weight! You and Meifen are both of that kind of character, just a little bit of Qiong Yao. Isn't it just a breakup? Is it necessary to lose weight like that?"

Qiu Luming said, "Hello, comrade, this is a public phone, someone wants to make a call!"

"Go ahead, I can't control you anymore! You should go to Beijing as soon as possible and stop living with that old woman."

****

During the Spring Festival, Qiu Huaixin's family came back to celebrate the New Year as usual. Qiu Moshi arrived home on the morning of New Year's Eve. He did not drive and did not bring Zhang Weijing back.

When Qiu Jiye asked him about it, he said, "Zhang Weijing got married on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month."

"With that Sun Ning?"

"Yes, of course it's her. We've been engaged for so long, it's time to get married."

The topic of the New Year's Eve dinner inevitably turned to Qiu Luming. Qiu Huaixin frowned, "This family is fickle, you should not contact them anymore! In the future, if Fei Yuanhang makes any trouble, his mother will definitely make a fuss!" After saying that, he looked at Qiu Luming seriously, "Is your mind filled with rice porridge? You go to their house when they ask you to, and you make peace when they ask you to? Have you forgotten all about the humiliation in the hospital?"

Qiu Luming was scolded so hard that she pouted and lowered her head. She also discovered her fatal weakness. She was indeed too impulsive when she went to Fei's house that day.

Qiu Moshi said, "Don't worry about other things. Yoyo, you should finish the self-study exam first. I'll ask Viking to help you find a job. If you can't find a job, go to a company. If that doesn't work, go to my company." He then said to the family, "It's already like this, don't worry about it. Fortunately, Fei Yuanhang is just unlucky himself, and Yoyo has never been involved."

"Although he is unlucky, it will also affect his family life in the future. Everyone wants to live with the lucky one. Have you ever seen someone who specifically looks for unlucky people?" Qiu Huaixin glared.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qiu Luming was not allowed to visit the Fei family to pay New Year's greetings, and Fei Yuanhang was unable to leave the house due to injury.

The two of them secretly paged each other and sent their "coded messages".

On the evening of the second day of the Chinese New Year, the Qiu family sat together playing checkers when the phone rang suddenly, startling everyone. Qiu Luming looked at the red phone at home and suddenly had a bad premonition, which became even stronger when Qiu Huaixin looked at her with a complicated expression after listening to two sentences on the phone.

Qiu Huaixin hung up the phone and said, "Dad, it's the hospital. They said they just admitted a burn patient. A scorpion has got into his collar, and the doctor on duty can't treat him."

Without saying anything, Qiu Jiye stood up and took his coat. "I'm staying at the office tonight. You don't have to wait for me."

"Dad." Qiu Huaixin hesitated and said, "The patient is Fei Yuanhang."
