Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Forty minutes later, Lin Zhengjun had prepared all the dishes and everyone gathered together to eat with great interest. It was almost one o'clock by then.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the family was in high spirits and the atmosphere was set.

Zhou Shoucheng raised his glass and said, "Come, let me toast to the police. They have helped me a lot in my home these days. It made me realize that the people's police are for the people!"

"Professor Zhou, you're welcome."

He Sheng hurriedly held up the wine glass with both hands and said, "The Zhou family is a family of scholars. I have been influenced by them when I came here to work, and I have learned a lot of knowledge and culture!"

The two drank a cup together, and Zhao Xiangrong half-jokingly and half-remindingly said: "He Sheng, you have to finish what you started. In the spring of next year, I want to repair the roof, you have to come!"

He Sheng put down his wine glass and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao, my position of serving the people will never waver, and I will definitely come!"

Lin Zhengjun looked anxious and said with a smile: "Oh, I am really convinced. He Sheng, stop reciting quotations here and say something practical and down-to-earth!"

He Sheng's hands were shaking. He coughed softly and said in a trembling voice, "Professor Zhou, Teacher Zhao, I, I like Zhou Dongxue. I want to date her. Do you two allow it?"

Zhou Dongxue was drinking tea. When she heard this, the tea spurted out of her nostrils with a "puff". She turned her head and started coughing.

His face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was because of the choking or the embarrassment.

Zhou Shoucheng smiled and said, "Our family supports our children's free love. From our eldest daughter Qiuping and Tang Ningcheng to Xiaofu and Zhengjun, we did not interfere."

Lin Zhengjun complained softly, "They didn't interfere with my uncle and aunt's relationship, but one of them couldn't be found, and no one wanted the other!"

"Oh, you are courting death. You underestimate me. There are so many people chasing me!"

Zhou Yangguang said unconvincedly: "I am obsessed with literary creation and have delayed my marriage. Otherwise, my children would be too old to play with soy sauce. I want to promote the literary and artistic undertakings of our country! No one really wants Dongxue!"

"There is only one Zhang Xuliang, and he's a scumbag!" Tang Xiaofeng interrupted.

Everyone laughed.

After Lin Zhengjun's joke, He Sheng also started laughing and was no longer nervous.

The Zhou family is really different from other families.

Not only is it full of cultural atmosphere, but the family atmosphere is also relaxed and democratic. There are not so many rules, and the family members love each other.

Zhao Xiangrong smiled and said, "We won't interfere, so it all depends on Dongxue's opinion. If she is willing to accept you, we will bless her!"

Zhou Dongxue turned her head and looked at He Sheng sincerely, smiling and saying, "He Sheng, I'm really grateful that you're willing to accept me. After all, I'm so old, definitely an old maid! I'm willing to try everything with you!"

She also has some of the temperament of a girl from Yanjing, and is not so shy.

Like Zhou Qiuping and Tang Xiaofu, they are both straightforward and free-spirited, and dare to love and hate. As the saying goes, people from the same family tend to be alike.

"Dongxue, I'm older, six years older than you. Thank you for not looking down on me!" He Sheng said with an excited smile.

Zhou Shoucheng was very happy, and raised his glass again with a smile, saying: "Come, I wish you can achieve a happy ending! I hope you can treat each other wholeheartedly and cherish your hard-earned fate!"

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and laughed.

Outside the window, heavy snow was falling, and the biting cold north wind was like the howling of ghosts and wolves. There was a solemn and solemn atmosphere between heaven and earth.

In Professor Zhou's home, the small stove emits a warm red light, as warm as spring, and the atmosphere is cozy.

……

After dinner, everyone sat around drinking tea. Professor Zhou said, "Zhengjun, there is something I need to talk to you about!"

"Grandpa, you say!"

Professor Zhou asked, "Do you still remember Gu Si Nian?"

"Of course I remember. She was the female teacher who was imprisoned and humiliated by Zhu Yongcheng."

Lin Zhengjun said: "I have never met her, but her parents followed He Sheng to the Beijing Film Studio to thank me and wanted to give me money, but I refused."

"You did very well!"

Zhou Shoucheng nodded in appreciation and continued, "After she was rescued, she was not in good condition and attempted suicide twice!"

"what?"

“How come we didn’t know that?” Everyone was shocked, it was obviously the first time they heard of it.

Zhou Shoucheng sighed and said, "Alas, the college believes that the Zhu Yongcheng case is a scandal of the school, so we ask everyone not to talk about it outside to avoid a bad influence!"

"After Gu Si Nian was rescued, the college leaders went to comfort her and sent the Zhu family several thousand yuan in civil compensation, and restored her teaching job."

"She looked normal on the surface, but she attempted suicide by cutting her wrists twice last month. Fortunately, her parents found out in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Currently, the school believes that she is no longer suitable for frontline teaching and has approved her for long-term sick leave..."

Lin Zhengjun nodded and said, "Some scars will follow you for a lifetime! Another tragedy in the world!"

Tang Xiaofu gritted her teeth and angrily cursed, "This Zhu Yongcheng is a beast. Shooting him once won't satisfy me!"

Zhou Dongxue said: "That's right, it's a disgrace to our Industrial College!"

Zhou Shoucheng said: "I have a pretty good relationship with her father Gu Jianghe. I also watched Gu Si Nian grow up and taught her. Now she is neither human nor ghost, so I think..."

Lin Zhengjun said: "Grandpa, I understand. You mean can I find a doctor to treat Gu Si Nian..."

"Yes!" Zhou Shoucheng nodded.

Tang Xiaofu also said: "Zhengjun, Sister Gu is very good. When I was a child, she often took me to play, and she also helped me when other children bullied me! Please help her!"

"Okay!" Lin Zhengjun nodded and said, "Let's go over and take a look!"

"Okay!" Professor Zhou immediately put on his coat and stood up.

Seeing that Tang Xiaofu also wanted to go, Lin Zhengjun said, "The patient is closed-minded and doesn't want to see outsiders. Xiaofu, you stay at home!"

"Okay!" Tang Xiaofu nodded and said, "You must help her!"

Lin Zhengjun nodded, and soon came to Gu Si Nian's house with Professor Zhou.

"Comrade Zhengjun, why are you here?" Gu Jianghe was very surprised to see Lin Zhengjun coming.

"I came to visit my grandparents and came to see you!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Come and sit down, come and sit down!" Gu Jianghe made two cups of tea and handed them to Zhou Shoucheng and Lin Zhengjun.

Lin Zhengjun took the tea, sat down on the chair and looked around.

Gu Si Nian's family also lives in a slum, but there are only two rooms.

The room outside is about ten square meters, with a bed, a chest of drawers, and a folding table. They are usually put away and opened when eating.

The inside is even smaller, only eight or nine square meters.

Lin Zhengjun asked, "Where are Auntie and Sister Si Nian?"

"My wife went out to buy New Year's goods, and my daughter was inside. She came out only after I called her. After all, you are her lifesaver, so you must meet you!" Gu Jianghe said as he walked into the inner room.

"Comrade Lin Zhengjun is here to see you. He is your savior!"

"Dad, I don't want to go out..."

"Don't be so closed to yourself. You should make more friends! Don't you love literature the most? Zhengjun is the great writer Chu Kuangren. The works you like, such as The Horse Herder, Under the Hawthorn Tree, and Farewell My Concubine, were all written by him..."
