Chapter 87
In fact, the moment Wen Jianning heard the Lu family's aunt and wife call him Mr. Feng, it was like an initiation, and finally overlapped this person's face with a certain teenager he had seen many years ago. It's just that they haven't seen each other for too long, and Wen Jianning still doesn't dare to confirm each other's identities before hearing each other's personal admissions.
The person on the other side was shocked when he heard her words, and his eyes quickly lit up.
He met the gaze of the girl opposite him and said firmly: "See Ning." ”
Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is a great joy in life.
The two sides finally confirmed each other's identities, and they were a little happy, but they were also a little embarrassed.
They also met once when they escaped the air raid of the Japanese planes before, but neither of them recognized anyone at that time, and the time they returned the book, they failed to meet by mistake, so it was not confirmed until today.
Feng Yixian explained: "I lost my glasses last time, I just saw you familiar at the time, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”
Wen Jianning also hurriedly explained: "The last time we met, I only thought you were familiar, but I couldn't remember where I saw it for a while. Then my friend called me, and I ran away. When I returned the book, I also asked someone to help deliver it, but I didn't see you. By the way, those books of yours seem to be mathematical works, and I was a classmate of the mathematics department, but I didn't expect them to be at all. ”
She still remembered that Feng Yi studied physics. Feng Yi had told her in the letter that he would return to China if the situation was critical, but she didn't expect that they would meet here. Moreover, she has been in Kunming for a while, and the liberal arts college is not too far away, and the two did not even meet once before that air raid.
The two of them opened their words, and Fang Cai's embarrassment was quickly diluted. After all, it has been many years since they first met, and the faces of both of them have changed a little, and it is normal that they can't recognize each other.
While speaking, the two of them had already entered the school gate.
Before parting, Feng Yi reminded: "Most of those two children will not be convinced, and they will inevitably play pranks in the future." ”
Wen Jianning thanked him for his kindness, but had no intention of backing down.
She said goodbye to Feng Yicai here, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhong Hui on the other side of the road waving at her.
Zhong Hui read the note she left and already knew about the publication of "Yongding Bridge", and the whole person was very excited. But because Wen Jianning had told her in advance that she was not allowed to reveal these things to others, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back in the dormitory alone, so she estimated that it was time for Jianning to come back, so she deliberately ran out to find her, but happened to see the scene where she said goodbye to Feng Yi just now.
Zhong Hui was very curious. She and Wen Jianning have been friends since middle school, but it is the first time she has seen her interact with a male classmate she doesn't know, so it is inevitable to tease a few words, and by the way, find out Feng Yi's origin.
Wen Jianning reluctantly explained: "That was my former friend, I didn't expect to meet in Kunming." ”
Zhong Hui didn't believe it: "What former friends, I don't know what friends you have, so I'm not ready to explain honestly." ”
Wen Jianning smiled: "You really don't know this, I did have a few years of correspondence with him in the past, but I was just an ordinary friend, so I didn't tell you." Well, it's really not what you think, we don't have that kind of relationship, it's just gentlemen's friends. ”
Zhong Hui didn't seem to hear the second half of her words, and said to herself: "I think that person looks good, he has the appearance of a young talent, barely worthy of you." It's just that I don't know how he can learn this person's character, so I'll help you inquire when I go back, so don't worry. ”
Wen Jianning warned her: "Zhong Hui, you are not allowed to mess around. ”
Zhong Hui obviously didn't take her words to heart, but just said: "Don't worry, you can rest assured that I will do things." ”
Wen Jianning wanted to say a few heavy words to tell Zhong Hui to stop messing around, but when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't bear it, and swallowed it back.
She knew that Zhong Hui didn't have the intention of teasing her, but out of good intentions, hoping that she could make more friends like other female classmates, or fall in love freely, and find a reliable person to entrust for life. Even if you can't, at least you have multiple friends.
Wen Jianning didn't know if she could find such a person, but that person at least wouldn't be Feng Yi.
To her, Feng Yi is a very distant friend.
If the two of them were still the same as before, they exchanged letters across the ocean, she would feel familiar and at ease, and she would be willing to talk to this friend, but if this person came to her, she would only feel strange and uncomfortable.
But no matter how uncomfortable she is, she still inevitably has to meet Feng Yi.
Every evening, she had to land at the door of the mansion to teach the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.
The two didn't go differently, sometimes he arrived earlier, sometimes Wen Jianning arrived early, whoever came first would teach the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses to do their homework first, and when the other party came, they just nodded to each other, and rarely talked during the whole process.
It wasn't until it got dark at the end that the two walked out of the gate of the mansion and walked back one after the other.
In the first few days, when the two went back, it was as if they hadn't recognized each other, and no one spoke all the way, and when they walked near the school, they naturally separated;
The two chatted slowly on the way back.
The first thing they mentioned during the casual conversation was the fact that they had broken off contact at the beginning.
After Wen Jianning fled to Shanghai that day, she wrote to Feng Yi to tell her whereabouts, but she never received a reply from the other party. She just thought that Feng Yi was the same as Jianxiu, and for some reason she didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, so she didn't write anymore.
Although she didn't show any obvious emotions because of this, she was still a little hurt in her heart.
After she asked the reason this time, she saw Feng Yi silent for a moment before saying, "Maybe it was lost in the mailing process." ”
Wen Jianning thought about it, this is indeed not impossible.
After all, there is a great ocean between Shanghai and the United States, and it is not impossible to lose a letter on the way; not to mention that Feng Yi is not the kind of person who will play tricks and break off relations with people for no reason, but blame her for not writing a few more letters, so she misunderstood others.
Thinking about it like this, her whole person suddenly became much more relaxed.
On the way back, the two talked about their experiences over the past two years.
Wen Jianning cut off the part where he had trouble with the Wen family, and only said that he went to Peking to study, and then fled back to Hong Kong to study in Mengzi, and Feng Yi's experience was much more complete.
When he heard about the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, he hurriedly contacted his old friend and returned to China.
However, at that time, Beiping had already fallen, and he could only go to Changsha to go to the United Nations Congress. Since he had not fully graduated from the United States before leaving, he had never even received a college diploma there. Fortunately, the United Nations University cherishes talents, and he passed the examination under the auspices of several professors, and is now accepted as a closed disciple by a physics professor in China, and also serves as a physics teaching assistant in the lower grades in his spare time.
Later, when the United Nations General Assembly was about to move to Yunnan, he joined a walking group of teachers and students of the United Nations and traveled through Xiangxi, Guizhou and other places together to arrive in Kunming. Soon after, he met the Lu family, talked with the owner of the Lu family, and was hired by the other party as a tutor.
As for the situation of the Lu family, Wen Jianning has also seen it these days.
That aunt and wife were rampant, and the dragon and phoenix fetus also looked down on other gentlemen except Feng Yi. recruited a few female gentlemen before, the mother and son were quite unkind to others, and occasionally Feng Yi was present to help talk, but once he had something to do, the family would definitely make waves, and four or five female classmates of the United Nations University were angry one after another.
Although Feng Yi was dissatisfied with their behavior, as a man, it was not good to interfere too much in the other party's family affairs, especially the little girl in the dragon and phoenix womb, and he was not good at scaring her with a knocking board. On the day Wen Jianning came out, it was the first time he saw the mother and son of the Lu family being confronted like that. He also hoped that she could stay, that there would be someone to help her, and that the two would take care of each other.
With Feng Yi's help, the two children of the Lu family were soon cleaned up and obedient, and they could only study with this poor female college student with their heads bowed. As for the aunt and wife of the Lu family, although she was dissatisfied with Wen Jianning, for Feng Yi's sake, she actually gritted her teeth and endured it.
After the matter on the Lu Mansion gradually stabilized, the discussion around "Yongding Bridge" finally gradually spread to Kunming and spread among Wen Jianning's classmates.
Many students of the United Nations University have personally experienced the fall of Beiping, and they empathize with the mentality and experience of Wen Hui, a female student in the text. Because some details are true enough, some people speculate that the female student Wen Hui herself should be among them.
However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the success of "Yongding Bridge" has led these students to speak out in newspapers and magazines, either describing the details of the 77 Incident, or complaining about the atrocities of the Japanese army after entering the city. In fact, when they first escaped from the occupied area, some people published similar experiences in the newspapers, but they were quickly drowned out in the discussion of the situation and the state of the war.
Wen Jianning couldn't accurately estimate the influence of "Yongding Bridge" among his classmates, but he could still see some differences from Zhong Hui's reaction. Zhong Hui's chin was almost raised to the sky these days, if Wen Jianning hadn't emphasized to her repeatedly in advance, maybe she couldn't hold back these days, so she casually exposed Wen Jianning's identity as the original author. And her previous works, although there is no shortage of discussions, have never had such a great influence among the student body.
In addition to these, the most intuitive benefit of the success of "Yongding Bridge" to Wen Jianning is that she received an extremely generous remuneration at one time, which greatly reduced her financial pressure. But except for leaving a small part for living expenses, Wen Jianning did not plan to keep all the money in his own hands and rot. You can save money slowly, but there are some things that you can't put off. She plans to donate the money to the front line, and there are many such activities in the United Nations General Assembly to donate funds for the war of resistance, and there will always be a time when she can donate it.
One day in October, Wuhan and Guangzhou fell one after another.
