Three or Two Things about Rebirth

"Forget it, I won't bully you anymore." Qiu Luming rode away on his bike.

"What do you mean?" Zheng Wei grabbed the back seat of her bicycle, and Qiu Luming had to jump off the bicycle again.

"Isn't it obvious? I've had this temper since I was a child, and I can't change it. And you're the kind of person who can't stand being bullied, so just forget it. Tomorrow, I'll find someone who's willing to be bullied!"

"Then I surrender! Is it not enough to surrender?" Zheng Wei straddled the bicycle, bent down and reached out to grab Qiu Luming's back seat, tilted his head and looked up at Qiu Luming, looking like a pitiful big dog. If Qiu Luming had known him for a few years less, he would really believe it.

"Are you really convinced?"

"I'm so convinced!"

Most of the young people in Northeast China, at least her male classmates, are unwilling to admit defeat. The phrase "I am your father" can definitely trigger a fight, as if the other party will really become his father if they don't fight immediately. For those who are younger, such as Xie Guang's age, it is even more impossible for them to say "admit". Even if their father's belt is broken, they will not say a word of comfort.

Zheng Wei is already 26 years old, a seasoned man. He looks dishonest, and even less so inside. But Qiu Luming couldn't help but curl up his lips.

Zheng Wei naturally noticed the change in her expression, and said with a stern face, "Qiu Luming, with your bad temper, you cause trouble among your classmates and at work. If it weren't for your brother and me, you would have been bullied to death! With someone like you, who can I trust?"

"Don't worry about it!"

"That won't work! I have to carry out such a difficult task myself!"

"You're crazy!" Qiu Luming stretched out his leg to kick Zheng Wei's hand that was holding the back seat.

"Hey, hey~ I can't kick!" Zheng Wei let go and Qiu Luming kicked in vain.

Just as he was feeling proud, Qiu Luming had already ridden away on his bicycle.

"Slow down!" Zheng Wei got on his bike and followed. Lao Ma had analyzed this for him in the past few days. According to Qiu Luming's personality, he could only go along with it. Changing his name should be done naturally and quietly. When paying his salary and deciding his position, he should choose the right time. If it doesn't work, he should ask his future father-in-law for help, instead of rushing to do it right away like he did a few days ago. He has waited for so many years, what else is left for him to show off!

Zheng Wei felt relieved and followed Qiu Luming closely on his bike. Although he couldn't see her face, he could guess from the leisurely way she rode that she was in a good mood because she had won against him. She might even have a smug smile on her face.

Zheng Wei's mood also improved, and he comforted himself in his heart: With my woman, what's the point of talking about winning or losing! Old Ma has spoken. Twenty years ago, I was already a slave to others. Now it's too late to turn things around!

Zheng Wei was just thinking about it when he saw Qiu Luming stop at the door of Han Meifen's house and shouted to Han's mother who was hanging clothes, "Auntie Wang, where are the clothes hanging?"

——This girl is a bit of a donkey, but she is kind-hearted and can’t bear to see others suffer. Zheng Wei thought again.

Mother Han raised her head and smiled, and even took a special look at Zheng Wei. "Luming, are you off work at noon? I just washed two pieces of clothes for your uncle and put them outside with the water dripping."

"Yes! This dripping water makes ironing easier than washing machines. By the way, Aunt Wang, I just passed by the hospital and saw that Meifen has been discharged. Fu Xinyang and her mother-in-law took her out."

"Oh." Han's mother was slightly startled, but still smiled and said, "Meifen, this kid, always says that her mother-in-law is better than me. It seems that she is really a good one."

"I don't believe it. Of course my biological mother is the best!" Qiu Luming chuckled, "Auntie Wang, I'm going home now. Come to my house when you have time!"

"Hey, come over when you have time!"

"Hey!"

The information was passed on, and Zheng Wei continued riding his bike with Qiu Luming.

At the gate of the Qiu family, Zheng Wei looked at the steps in front of the door with pride, "Tsk tsk, this little job is done beautifully!"

Zheng Wei reworked this inconspicuous five-step staircase twice and finally fixed it straight. His craftsmanship is definitely not worse than that of an old bricklayer!

Qiu Luming pushed the cart up the steps and with a bang, he knocked the door open with the front wheel.

This cruel woman didn't even turn her head. Zheng Wei shouted, "I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow!"

Don’t look back yet!

"See you tomorrow!" Zheng Wei shouted at the top of his voice, then rode away on his bike.

The magpies on the poplar trees by the roadside were startled and flew around chirping. Qiu Luming was so angry that he chased outside the door. He heard Zheng Wei laughing as he ran away, and then howled at the top of his voice, "I am a wolf from the north..."

When Qiu Luming entered the house, He Manshu asked, "Who was yelling outside?"

"Zheng Dawei!" Qiu Luming said unhappily.

Fang Yuan chuckled, "Listen, Mom, we've got a nickname."

"What nickname? He's too cunning. I just agreed to get in touch with him first, but he took advantage of it and said he wanted to give me his salary! He's obviously playing tricks on me and wants to establish a relationship with me!"

"Haha!" He Manshu laughed.

"Oh, right, Mom!" Qiu Luming thought of Han Meifen's story and told her everything all at once.

"Oh my God!" Fang Yuan cried in shock, "She's so seriously ill, and they don't let her be hospitalized. Are they trying to torture her to death?"

He Manshu sighed, "The little daughter of the old Han family is soft-hearted, but also stubborn. Also, her parents probably didn't give her the confidence to return the child. You should go to her less often in the future. The better you live, the more it will irritate her. If you try to persuade her, based on her personality, it might just backfire."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Some people's ideas are just so unreasonable, just be careful!"

"Yes! Mother!"

Fang Yuan came over holding Kuan Kuan in his arms, "There's nothing wrong with being cunning, as long as it's not a bad intention. Look at Fu Xinyang, he looks honest, but his mother is the one who makes the decisions at home and outside. A grown man can't handle anything!

Also, your second brother told me that Zheng Wei's family is a very kind and righteous family. His father is very good at handling things. He is a humble official and does not bully others, but he is not pedantic either. He has not delayed the work arrangements for his children. It's just that he is old, so if he works for a few more years, he will definitely have a better future.

His elder brother is also a very down-to-earth person. Zheng Wei has not been valued by his parents since he was a child, and sometimes he plays tricks to attract his parents' attention. You should pay attention to him. If he really plays tricks on you, plots against you, and is not sincere, we will not get along with him! No matter how good his fortune is, we will not get along with him! If this couple plays tricks for a lifetime, how tired they must be! And his elder sister seems to be quite powerful and chattering, you should pay more attention to her. "

Kuan Kuan stretched out his two fat hands and pounced on Qiu Luming. Qiu Luming took him, and he hugged Qiu Luming's neck and sighed.

Qiu Luming laughed and teased his nephew, "Oh, Kuan Kuan is worried about something!"

Fang Yuan also laughed, "We don't know what's going on in this kid's little head!"

Kuan Kuan stood up, pointed out the window, and uttered two words clearly, "Dad!"

The room was quiet for a moment. He Manshu came over quickly, took her grandson, and hugged him tightly. "Oh my baby! My baby misses his daddy, right?"

Qiu Jiashu has been studying for more than a month. The children miss him, and the adults miss him too. Qiu Luming saw that Fang Yuan's eyes were red. This couple has never been separated for so long!

"Second sister-in-law, I will help you take care of the child. You can go to Shenyang to visit my second brother."

Fang Yuan shook his head. "No, he's going there to study and do serious work. I won't interfere with him. He will be back in a few months! He calls me every two days now, which is good!"

He Manshu probably also thought that her second son would be transferred soon, and she felt both relieved and sad. She didn't look at anyone and carried Kuan Kuan back to her bedroom.

***

At the end of April 1996, Qiu Luming went to Beijing to take the exam as usual.

I only signed up for two subjects this time, as I have passed the other two subjects. There is no way I can do that going to Russia has delayed my study progress.

She used all her saved salary to buy clothes and jewelry. Before leaving, Zheng Wei insisted on giving her a thousand yuan, but Qiu Luming refused to take it. However, after getting on the bus, she found that he had stuffed the money into her purse at some point.

So, while shopping for clothes, I bought an electric shaver for Zheng Wei, and then on second thought, I bought one for my father as well.

On the way back, she got off the bus early in Yi City and went to visit Qin Huifang.

She thought she would see a beautiful woman who was full of vigor and radiant, but unexpectedly, Qin Huifang, who had lost a lot of weight, hugged her and burst into tears when she saw her.
