Looking at this back, Wen Jianning couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Sir, you ......"

She couldn't go on with all she said, and at this moment, no matter how comforting she was, it paled in comparison.

Several other classmates were also at a loss, not knowing what words to use to comfort Mr. Wen.

Just when everyone was a little depressed, they saw that Mr. Wen's back finally moved slightly. He turned his head and smiled at the students: "Maybe that's what God meant, let me start all over again." ”

Wen Jianning was a little moved, and was speechless for a while.

Mr. Wen bowed slightly to her and the other female classmates, walked over and patted the shoulders of the other male classmates one by one, and said gently: "It's just that I have to work hard for you, and I have to help me, a careless gentleman, be an assistant for a long time." ”

......

In the airstrike, not only were the manuscripts burned, but even some of the books that Mr. Moon had not been able to take with him were burned, not even a single piece of paper was left, and the books of the other two professors who were said to have lived with him were also destroyed.

After the bombing, Wenlin Street and Fengzhu Street outside the Lianmen Gate were almost razed to the ground.

As far as the eye can see, the once prosperous and lively city is almost completely devastated.

Just as the city was immersed in the bleak atmosphere after the air raid, a surprising piece of good news suddenly came. The Japanese withdrew abruptly, and there were no more air raids throughout November.

During this period, Wen Jianning received replies from various places one after another.

Cousin Wen Baiqing only replied with a few words, saying that he already knew, and Liao Jingqiu, who had not been in contact for a long time, also sent a letter, euphemistically saying that if they needed to handle marriage in the future, they could open up to her.

Mr. Qi has always trusted her, and he did not ask too much in the letter, but still told her to focus on her studies. Regarding Wen Jianning's concern about her safety, she only said that she was active in the concession most of the time now, and she could not act recklessly, so she did not have to worry about her safety. However, Wen Jianning could see that Mr. Qi was still very happy in his heart, and this was the first time that Mr. Qi had written a letter more than a dozen pages long without talking about the current situation. Although it was just chattering to her about some trivial things in life, it was precious to Wen Jianning, and she put the letter away with great care.

Among all of them, only Meng Li was the most excited, she babbled more than a dozen pages, one would recall in the letter that Wen Jianning would not be able to get married, and the other would worry that she would not be able to dress up and not be able to catch a man's heart in the future, and asked if she wanted to send her some fabric jewelry. However, she is most concerned about Feng Yi, although Wen Jianning thinks that she has written Feng Yi's very clearly in the letter, she still can't wait to ask the Feng family to count the eighteen generations to rest assured.

The last thing she received was Zhou Yinghuang's reply.

There were two letters, one for Ruan Wenyun and the other for her.

Zhou Yinghuang wrote in the letter that since they left Kunming, they went to a secret base in southern Yunnan for training, and because the training intensity was too great, they had not been able to find time to reply to them some time ago. The letter also said that they had eaten and lived with a group of American pilots, and that they were well treated, so that they could take care of themselves in Kunming and not have to worry about their lives.

After writing two large pages about his recent situation, he asked about Wen Jianning's engagement at the end of the letter.

Probably for fear of arousing her rebellious psychology, Zhou Yinghuang's wording was very restrained.

He just asked her if she had decided to marry the one whose surname was Feng. Although the engagement does not mean that the two will definitely get married, he believes that with her character, she is willing to agree to this extent, and at least she has the determination to entrust her for life.

Wen Jianning was lying in front of the case and replied to him with a long letter. Since she agreed to be engaged to Feng Yi, the reactions of the people around her have been different, but this is the first time she has told people her thoughts in such detail.

Although it has only been two years since they reunited, the two have known each other for a long time. Both parties are familiar with each other's family backgrounds and personalities, and the remaining concerns are only the depth of their feelings and consideration for the future.

Wen Jianning is not an ignorant girl who will be carried away by just reading two romances, she has experienced the early death of her mother since she was a child, and has also witnessed countless naked money transactions in the villa in the middle of the mountain, and she has also written about the joys and sorrows of many infatuated men and women. For the word love, she has always been vigilant enough. This also determines that it may be difficult for her to treat her lover as innocently and passionately as ordinary female classmates, and her relationship with Feng Yi is more of a trickle, plain but reassuring enough.

She likes Feng Yi's peaceful temperament, respects his character and knowledge, and trusts him to be calm and reliable enough to walk side by side with her through thick and thin. If she didn't think too much about it when she first fell in love with Feng Yi, she just wanted to respond to Feng Yi's affection for her, but after getting along in the past few months, she already had a premonition that sooner or later the two would come to the point of talking about marriage.

It's just that she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

However, as the Japanese army approached, the shadow of the air raid never dissipated, leaving them with very little time. She just wants to seize every minute of the moment, cherish the people she loves, and try not to leave regrets for herself. Now that I have made a decision in my heart, I am still entangled in the trivial matters of others, which is just a matter of worrying about the sky and increasing the trouble.

A week after sending the letter, she, Feng Yi and Zhong Hui took leave and returned to Hong Kong.

The trio had a rough ride and did not arrive at the port until noon that day.

As soon as he got off the boat, Wen Jianning first grabbed the arm of his friend next to him, and said to him with a smile: "Let's not rush to your house first." ”

Feng Yi thought at first that she wanted to visit Zhong Hui's parents first, and then turn around to go to Feng's mansion, but after accompanying her to Zhong's house, she realized that this was not the case. As soon as these two good friends arrived home, they said hello to the elders, and then went shopping hand in hand, leaving him alone in the Zhong family's living room, and he had to deal with the interrogation of the two elders alone.

Father Zhong only asked him about his views on some current affairs, but Mother Zhong made no secret of his inquisitive heart and was extremely enthusiastic. Although the other party didn't ask any embarrassing questions, it still made Feng Yi nervous a little instinctively.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone who had no heart and lungs to finally come back. However, before he could greet her, he saw the pair of good sisters hurriedly leave him and go upstairs.

Feng Yi smiled dumbly, so he had to sit down again to deal with the Zhong family's parents.

This time they waited downstairs for a long time, until both sides had nothing to say, Zhong Mu remembered something, got up and said: "These two girls are weird as soon as they come back today, and they don't know what to do upstairs, I'll go see them......"

Before the words could be spoken, the two girls upstairs finally came down.

As soon as Feng Yi raised his head, he saw Wen Jianning who was left behind.

She changed into a tea-red long-sleeved silk cheongsam, which made her skin extraordinarily fair, and she wore light makeup on her face. Soon after establishing a relationship with Feng Yi, she has never cut her short hair again, and nearly half a year has passed, and she has long black hair, which will be softly curled in the back of her head, with a classical and gentle charm.

When he came to him, Wen Jianning explained a little embarrassedly: "Zhong Hui said that I am always too studenty, let me dress up well today and then come to the door, at least don't let your family think that I have treated them slowly." ”

Feng Yi finally came back to his senses and said with a smile: "If you are willing to go back with me, it is already a special favor." ”

The parents of the Zhong family saw the two of them standing together, and they felt that this pair of talented women was simply made in heaven. Although they were a little reluctant to Wen Jianning, who had just come back, they still smiled and urged: "Okay, since the people have already dressed up, I won't keep the two of you, so I'd better take them home and show them to the elders in the family earlier." ”

Feng Yi calmly took her hand, and after saying goodbye to the Zhong family, the Zhong family's driver sent them to the place.

The two got out of the car, Feng Yi carried a suitcase in one hand and pulled her outside the gate with the other.

Sensing that the people around him were taking a deep breath to calm down, he held her hand tightly, turned his head and said gently: "Don't be afraid, my second uncle and I are angry, and I won't let you be wronged." ”

Wen Jianning cleared his throat: "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little nervous." ”

He didn't say anything more, just took her hand tighter and tighter.

Feng Yi raised his hand and pressed the electric bell, and after the maid hurriedly ran out to open the iron barrage door, he climbed the stairs with her.

There were two people sitting on the sofa in the living room, one was a middle-aged man in a black robe in his forties and fifties, with a solemn face, the short beard at the chin was neat and beautiful, presumably Feng Yi's father;

Seeing the two of them coming in, Father Feng coughed heavily a few times before putting down the newspaper in his hand: "I'm back." ”

Feng Yi politely greeted his father, and when he saw the other party's sharp eyes sweeping towards the girl beside him, he stepped forward slightly to introduce her: "Father, this is Jianning, my fiancée." ”

Wen Jianning followed his introduction and said politely: "Hello uncle." ”

Father Feng's reaction was cold, he had already learned about Wen Jianning's existence from the telegram, and he had also heard his eldest daughter Feng Ling mention some things. However, no matter how much he was dissatisfied, because of his identity, he only bowed his head slightly in response.

Feng Yi pulled her to salute the second uncle next to her.

The second uncle put down the ancient book in his hand, lifted the glasses on the side of the tortoiseshell, squinted and looked at it carefully for a while before saying something. Not only does he speak with a strong native accent, but he also had a throat problem a few years ago, and he once underwent surgery for a time, and now his speech is even more incomprehensible. Even Feng Yi had to listen for a while before he could slowly translate it for Wen Jianning.

Wen Jianning hurriedly said hello, the second uncle had a very peaceful attitude towards her, did not examine the exploration of outsiders, nor did he treat the arrogance of the juniors, as if he just saw the family come back from shopping for vegetables in the morning and responded to the hello.

The second uncle then asked about the academic status of the two, and muttered to them for a long time about a certain lace news in the tabloids. Father Feng, a serious elder, was left by this old man and a young man on the side, his face was a little unbearable, and he coughed several times halfway to get their attention, but with little effect.

They didn't come back early, and it wasn't long before it was time for dinner.

They were joined by several aunts.

After Feng Yi's mother committed suicide, Feng's father hurriedly took his daughter abroad, and after many years of not returning, these aunts were left in the old mansion, and spent their good years waiting day after day. Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Feng family moved south, and they were finally not forgotten again, and they were brought to Hong Kong together. These aunts are old, they have no children in the Feng family, and their status is not high, and they are very cautious about Wen Jianning, an outsider, at the dinner table.

The whole family ate this meal quite harmoniously.

After dinner, Feng Yi was called by his father to the study for questioning, and the second uncle also went back to his study to read the scriptures, while Wen Jianning was left in the living room to chat with the aunts. Most of the aunts are thoughtful people, and they don't make her uncomfortable when chatting. When Feng Yi finished talking in the study and came down to look for her, they also got up to say goodbye and went upstairs one after another.

Wen Jianning asked, "Did your father embarrass you?"

Feng Yi shook his head: "I just asked about my studies, and I didn't mention anything else." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief and pulled him to sit down on the couch.

The conversation between the two stopped, it was getting late outside, but it was still early to fall asleep, and it was rare for them to have such a long time to relax, and they didn't know what to do to kill the time. In the end, Feng Yi got up and walked to the corner of the living room, turned on the gramophone placed in the corner, and soft music slowly flowed out.

Wen Jianning was a little embarrassed: "We just came back today, and my uncle and second uncle are still upstairs......

Feng Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Do you mean that you will agree to my invitation tomorrow?"
