As soon as Wang Yunqing became angry, everyone was dumbfounded. No one had the heart to drink and eat anymore, and they all left the restaurant one after another after a while, but they didn't expect the reception banquet specially set up for Wang Hong to end so unpleasantly!

Wang Hongju was the only one left in the restaurant, and he sat alone at the table with his head bowed in contemplation, and after a while he slowly got up and left the restaurant.

Wang Hongju wanted to find his father to explain the reason why he and Lin Meijiao got married, he came to his father's study, and when he pushed the door in, he saw that his parents were sulking.

Wang Yunqing squinted at Wang Hongju, and said angrily: "Sit down, tell me about your private marriage!" ”

Wang Hongju sat next to his mother with a smiling face, and then he told his parents about the emotional entanglement between himself and Huang Tingting and Lin Meijiao from beginning to end, and he analyzed to his parents why he wanted to marry Lin Meijiao as his wife.

What happened to Lin Meijiao was that Wang Yunqing and his wife sighed, they did not blame their son, but expressed their understanding and approval of their son's approach.

Wang Yunqing said to Wang Hongju with a ashamed face: "Child, we blame you, you dare to take responsibility, you are benevolent, righteous and open-minded, and your father is ashamed of himself." Here, Dad wishes you well for your marriage! ”

"Dad, Gillian is not only beautiful but also kind-hearted and understanding, a traditional good wife and mother-type woman. After marriage, I really love her, and I love her more and more! I will bring her home in the future, and I think you will definitely like and accept this daughter-in-law! ”

Wang Yunqing said again: "Your current marriage is very happy, but your marriage will hurt Tingting emotionally." Although Uncle Gillian blocked the correspondence between you and Tingting, you still have the responsibility to leave it behind, so you owe Tingting a love! ”

"Dad, it was the weakness in my personality that made me pass by Tingting. I'm sorry for her, I should review. ”

"Uncle Huang loves you very much, he wants you to be his son-in-law in his dreams, and he will be very angry if he knows that you are married to another woman. I don't think you should see him when you come back this time, and I will explain it to him slowly in the future. ”

"Dad, I haven't seen Uncle Huang for several years. I must visit his old man this time. I personally explained to him about me and Tingting, and I trust him to understand me. ”

Wang Yunqing disagreed, he said: "This matter between men and women can't be explained in a few words, I think it's better for you not to see Uncle Huang." He'll understand when time passes. ”

"Okay. I listen to you! Wang Hongju agreed.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the side, interjected: "Hongju." Since you married Gillian, you should forget about Tingting as soon as possible and live with Gillian wholeheartedly. If you guard the woman in the house, but the heart rests on another woman. You're sorry Gillian, and your married life won't be happy! ”

Wang Hongju joked happily: "Mom, I know that shark fin and bear paw can't have both, one Gillian is enough, and I can't afford two big beauties!" ”

"You're going to play tricks on me!" Mrs. Wang pretended to be angry and slapped her son on the shoulder, and then she instructed: "The child in Gillian's belly is innocent, don't dislike it!" If you are good to that child, you are good to Gillian, you have to remember your mother's words! ”

Wang Hongju patted his chest and promised: "Mom, don't worry, that child is the same as my own." ”

Mrs. Wang took off a ruby ring on her finger and handed it to Wang Hongju, "This is the ring that your grandmother gave me when I married into your Wang family, and I will pass it on to your daughter-in-law now, even if it is my recognition and acceptance of this daughter-in-law." ”

While Wang Hongju was talking to his mother, Wang Yunqing took out a silver longevity lock from the drawer, and he carefully wiped it with a cotton cloth. Then he held the longevity lock and said to Wang Hongju: "Hongju, this longevity lock was hung around my neck by your grandfather when I was out of the full moon, and I have been wearing it since I was a child." Decades have passed, and I have cherished it so that I can pass it on to my grandchildren in the future. Take it today, and hang it up when the child is born. ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Dad, Mom." Wang Hongju happily took over the longevity lock.

"Hongju, since you are the father of the child, so after the child is born, the surname of our Wang family will be followed, according to the old rules, whether the child is male or female in the future, the child's name will be given by my grandfather."

Wang Hongju happily agreed: "Hey! ”

Wang Yunqing and his wife suddenly accepted Gillian's mother and son, which made Wang Hongju very moved.

Cui Fengming was reading a book in the office, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, he didn't raise his head and said, "Come in." ”

After the knocker pushed the door into the house, Cui Fengming took his eyes off the newspaper. When he saw that the person who came was Wang Hongju, a comrade-in-arms who had been absent for a long time, his face suddenly showed great surprise.

"Oops! I can't believe it's you! He quickly stood up and stepped forward to hug Wang Hongju with one arm outstretched. Good brothers! We're finally meeting again! Cui Fengming hugged his comrades-in-arms tightly with his only arm.

"Lao Cui, I miss you so much!" Wang Hongju also hugged Cui Fengming tightly, and his eyes were a little moist while he was happy.

"Come, sit down!" After hugging, Cui Fengming let Wang Hongju sit down in front of the sofa, carefully looking at his comrades-in-arms who he hadn't seen for many years.

Cui Fengming said: "Hongju, you have changed a lot in the past few years, when you first arrived at the company, you were a student soldier with an immature face, and now your style is like a big leader." ”

Wang Hongju smiled: "Ha, you haven't changed at all, you will sarcastically mock me when you meet." ”

Cui Fengming poured tea for Wang Hongju and asked jokingly: "Hongju, how did you find me in this vast sea of people?" ”

"I went to your house and saw your mother and sister, and they told me that you worked at this school for disabled soldiers, so I came all the way."

Cui Fengming said happily: "I'm so happy that you can find me, which shows that you haven't forgotten the friendship between the two of us." ”

"Lao Cui, we are fellow villagers, we are all lucky people who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and we are good brothers in life and death! You helped me mentally too much during my time in the company. Otherwise, I'd make a lot of mistakes. It's been years since we fought a war, but I still miss the time when we fought together! Speaking of which, Wang Hongju was very emotional.

Cui Fengming nodded again and again and said, "Yes, I haven't gotten any news from you since you wrote me a letter before you went south with the army, and I've been thinking about you." Sometimes I still think blindly, the war is so cruel, people are dying every day, have you already been reimbursed on the battlefield? You can still stand alive in front of me today, don't mention my joy! ”

"I'm a big person, I've brushed shoulders with death several times, and I can't be a martyr if I want to!"

"You have vajra protection. Better than me. I didn't lose my life. One arm is missing! ”

"Lao Cui, you can be content! Both of us lived to see the founding of New China, and we were much luckier than those comrades-in-arms who died on the eve of liberation! ”

Cui Fengming smiled and said, "Of course I'm content!" Hey, I see that you didn't wear a military uniform, and eighty percent of you returned to Beijing from the army, right? ”

"I transferred to a school in Hainan to become a teacher. This time, I took a leave of absence to go home to visit my family. ”

"In the past, it was a wild place with high mountains and far away emperors. I heard that the place is hot to death! Are you a native of the north used to living there? ”

"I'm basically getting used to it. Lao Cui, how are you doing now? Are you happy with your job? ”

"I'm a man who lacks an arm, so I can only do what I can in this school. What is not satisfied, even if you are not satisfied with the current state, there is nothing you can do. But you are different, you are a scarce high-level intellectual in our army, you have withstood the test of war and are in the prime of life, you should have a lot of room for improvement in the army, how did you get transferred? ”

"Don't mention it! I'm getting mixed with that Li Qiming again! If he hadn't played this internal reference for me, I might still be in the army! ”

Wang Hongju wanted to speak again and again, and under Cui Fengming's questioning, he told the matter of the collision of views with Li Qiming in the land reform.

"I know Li Qiming as a person, he always looks bitter and hateful all day long, his nerves are always in a state of fighting, and the world in his eyes is full of class antagonism, and he believes that class struggle is the means to solve all problems. In the process of social transformation and national building in peacetime, his mentality is easy to go to extremes. ”

Wang Hongju said: "I agree with you that revolution is actually a complex scientific activity that puts great ideals into practice. Now that the country has opened a new chapter in the construction of new democracy, it will be very difficult for these people to meet the needs of the country's development and construction in the new period if they do not improve their political and cultural quality and keep up with the development of the times in their thinking. ”

Cui Fengming praised Wang Hongju and said: "Hongju, your thinking has matured a lot in recent years. ”

"It's not mature, I can't just say these things casually, I can only complain to you behind my back."

Cui Fengming joked: "Hongju, if you want Li Qiming to hear your words, he will say that you are not a fellow traveler of the revolution." ”

Wang Hongju said sadly: "He is the kind of person who prides himself on being upright and has a firm position, and in his eyes I have always been a sour petty-bourgeois element." His contempt and discrimination against intellectuals is unacceptable to me! ”

Cui Fengming saw Wang Hongju's unhappy face when he talked about the past, so he wanted to adjust the atmosphere, he squeezed his smiling eyes and said, "Hey, hi! Don't mention that Li Qiming. Let's talk for a change of taste, okay to talk about women? ”

Wang Hongju laughed slightly sarcastically: "Ha Luha, you are a guy who comes to the spirit when he talks about women!" ”

"Brother, what happened to your confidante who was arrested and imprisoned by Kuomintang spies?"

"She was rescued."

Cui Fengming asked with concern: "What stage has your relationship with her developed?" ”

Wang Hongju replied very simply: "I am already married, but my lover is not Huang Tingting." ”

"I didn't expect that! You once swore to me that Huang Tingting is the woman you love the most, but you didn't marry her as a wife. Is she unwilling to marry you or are you a guy who likes the new and hates the old? Cui Fengming was surprised.

Wang Hongju didn't answer Cui Fengming's question, he hung Cui Fengming's appetite and said: "Old Cui, the story of your love affair with Sister Chunxiu has touched me for a long time. Do you want to hear my love story in the past few years? ”

Cui Fengming said with a wicked smile: "Of course I want to hear it!" I love to listen to the affairs of men and women, and I have heard that most of the women in the south are beautiful and beautiful. You handsome guy must be surrounded by a lot of beautiful women, right? I don't have a class this afternoon, so you can talk about it. Ha Lu Ha! You have to talk about the history of the whole and the wild, and you are not allowed to have any reservations! ”

Cui Fengming re-brewed a cup of tea for Wang Hongju and took out a pack of cigarettes from the front door. Wang Hongju lit a cigarette and fell into contemplation, and the emotional entanglements between him and Huang Tingting and Lin Meijiao in the past few years appeared in front of him like acting in a movie.

Wang Hongju told the story vividly, Cui Fengming listened to the story with relish, and after Wang Hongju finished speaking, he clapped his hands again and again and said: "Good story, wonderful, very exciting!" The story of the relationship between a handsome man and two beautiful women is much more exciting than the story of me and Chun-so! Hongju, it's really a pity that you and Huang Tingting didn't become husband and wife. But I think you're right to marry Gillian as a wife. It's not a pity that you lost the position of principal for your wife! You are a talent, you don't have a master here, you have your own place. Go home, you can come to me as a teacher. I now formally extend an invitation to you! ”

"I'm coming back sooner or later. But not yet. Lao Cui. Tell us about yourself! You're not a big guy, but have you solved your personal problems now? ”

Cui Fengming pointed at Wang Hongju's head and said, "Aren't you pretending to be confused!" You know that there is only one woman I love, and that is Chunxiu. I'm not Chunxiu and don't marry. It's a pity, until now I don't know where Lu Dao Chunxiu is? I'm looking for her so hard! ”

"Huh? After so many years, are you still looking for Chunxiu? ”

Cui Fengming hung his head and said: "Where can I find her in the vast sea of people, if she is not in the local area, I may never find her again in my life!" ”

"During this period, did you have the idea of finding another woman to be a wife?"

"I don't agree with the organization that introduced me to several objects, some of them are younger and more beautiful than Chunxiu, but somehow I just think Sister Chunxiu is the best!"

"I understand your psychology, because Chunxiu is your first love, and she has left too deep a mark on your heart!"

Cui Fengming was a little embarrassed and said: "There is another reason, this is a secret, I will only tell you." He whispered to Wang Hongju: "I always feel that I can find a mother-like feeling of love in Chunxiu!" ”

Wang Hongju was surprised and said, "Huh? It's easy to understand that a person has a mother-love complex when he is a child, but you, an adult man, still have a mother-love complex! Abnormal! ”

"I can't say this well! Anyway, I like mature and gentle women! I can't stand the arrogant little girl! ”

Cui Fengming suddenly remembered something, and he asked Wang Hongju very mysteriously: "Hey, do you remember the little nurse who changed my dressing in the hospital?" ”

Wang Hongju knocked on the door of his head and said thoughtfully: "Is it the one who speaks very well and looks good?" ”

Cui Fengming had a smug expression on his face, "That's right! She's courting me right now! Very fanatical pursuit! ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? She's in the city too? Wang Hongju asked with great interest.

Cui Fengming sighed: "What's more! She's right next to me! Coincidentally, last year there was a new nurse in our infirmary, and I recognized her at a moment when she reported to me. We also knew each other, and we were very happy with each other when we met. Who knew that she stuck to me every day after coming to school, and she couldn't shake it off! If I ignore her, she'll not be happy. Guess what she said to me? She said that she liked me, that she secretly fell in love with me when I was hospitalized, and he also said that she liked my masculinity, that it was fate for her to see me again, and that God wanted to make our marriage, and she had the strength to not marry. Do you think this girl is annoying? ”

Wang Hongju has a different opinion from Cui Fengming, "What's there to worry about? That girl is good, people are worthy of you, hurry up and marry her! ”

Cui Fengming said resolutely: "No! I once swore that I would find Chunxiu! If I can't find her, I'd rather never marry her! ”

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside. Cui Fengming said outside the door, "Come in." ”

said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and after the door was pushed open, the little nurse mentioned by Cui Fengming walked in with something in his hand.

Cui Fengming asked seriously: "Little Lizi, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Principal Cui, how dare I go to your Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do, since I am here, I have something to do!" The articulate little nurse amused Wang Hongju at once.

Cui Fengming straightened his face and said, "Don't you see that I have a guest here?" If you have something, say it quickly, don't be flamboyant with me! ”

The little nurse put the things in her hand on Cui Fengming's desk, which was a newly knitted camel-colored wool vest. "Principal Cui. You're an old man who doesn't hurt anyone, and you don't have a decent piece of clothing on you except for a military uniform. Now is the time of the change of seasons, and it is easy to catch a cold when you wear too many clothes, and if you wear less hot clothes, I knit a wool vest according to your figure. Then the little nurse spoke in a much softer tone.

Cui Fengming picked up the sweater and looked at it carefully, he couldn't put it down: "Oh, this wool vest is really well knitted!" I also knitted the wool vest into flowers. ”

Xiao Lizi said a little coquettishly: "That's, I knit it with my heart and needle!" ”

"Thank you. But it's starting to heat up this day, why are you weaving this thing for me? ”

"It's a brainkiller! You can't wear this wool vest now, so you won't wait until it's cool! ”

"Then I'll thank you! I took the sweaterback, and I received your heart. Small plums. I have something to discuss with the guests, so you can get out of the way. I'll bring you the money for this vest when I get back. ”

"Humph! What are you pretending to be confused? This wool vest is a piece of people's hearts, but you treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! "The little nurse felt that her feelings had been hurt and she was upset. It's just that there are guests next to it, and it's not good to have a seizure. Then he pouted and walked out.

As soon as Xiao Lizi came out of the house, Cui Fengming grinned. "Do you see, I can't do anything about this girl. She's like a fire when she's kind to you, but if she gets bigger, she'll have to burn you to death! Let's be honest. I'm a little scared of her! ”

"This girl is very rare, she is a hot temper who loves you to death, hates you to death. I can see that she really likes you, and she is good-looking, so you can fulfill her. ”

"Hey, this girl is good in every way, I like her character, I know that she is good to me, and I don't want to break her heart. However, "Speaking of this, Cui Fengming self-deprecatingly came to a Peking Opera confession: "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang, how is this good for me?" ”

Wang Hongju understood Cui Fengming's thoughts, he didn't want to tell about his meeting with Chunxiu, he was afraid that Cui Fengming would be desperate to pull Chunxiu back to his side, which would bring a lot of trouble to Chunxiu and Chunxiu's family. But when he saw that Cui Fengming was still waiting for Chunxiu so persistently, he decided to tell Chunxiu that he was married, so as to make Cui Fengming die.

Wang Hongju pretended to be mysterious and said to Cui Fengming: "Old Cui, I encountered an unexpected thing after I returned to Beijing, do you want to guess?" ”

"What's the matter?" Cui Fengming asked curiously.

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. I bumped into a guy, guess who! Wang Hongju sold Guanzi.

"I want to think about it." Cui Fengming closed his lips tightly and thought solemnly, and suddenly he slapped his thigh and said, "As soon as you say that, I guessed that it was eight or nine." You've found the person I asked you for, haven't you? ”

Wang Hongju pretended to be mysterious: "Guess who I found?" ”

"Hah! You've found my Chunxiu sister! Cui Fengming couldn't control himself happily, he waved his only remaining arm and punched Wang Hongju hard.

"Look at you, how do you know it's her?"

"I guessed right! Wang Hongju, are you selling off with me? ”

Wang Hongju was not as happy as Cui Fengming, but he said dejectedly: "I saw Chunxiu, but Chunxiu is no longer your person!" She's someone else's daughter-in-law now! ”

"Chunxiu is married? Why didn't she wait for me? Cui Fengming was a little deflated, and his face became ugly.

Wang Hongju asked rhetorically: "When you left Chunxiu, you didn't say that you wanted to marry her, and people didn't say that you must marry you?" ”

At this time, Cui Fengming's face was already flushed, "Anyway, I don't care!" Chunxiu is my daughter-in-law, and I want to snatch her back when she gets married! ”

"You robbed someone's daughter-in-law against the law! Also, people may have forgotten about you a long time ago! Wang Hongju deliberately poured cold water on Cui Fengming.

Cui Fengming asked anxiously: "Hongju, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about how you met Chunxiu first?" How is she doing now? ”

Cui Fengming told Cui Fengming in detail what he heard from his mother. After Cui Fengming heard this, Ha Luha's big man laughed: "Brother Hongju, I tell you responsibly, I have full confidence in letting Chunxiu return to me!" ”

"For what?"

Cui Fengming said to Wang Hongju with confidence: "First, Chunxiu married an old man to make a second room, she will not do it until the last resort, she must have something unspeakable." Second, now the new society practices monogamy, and if Chunxiu, who is the second room, does not love that man, as long as she files for divorce, the government will approve it. This third point is the most important, that is, I, Cui Fengming, love Chunxiu, and she must still have me in her heart, and I can summon her heart back as soon as I appear! ”

"But that family is kind to Chunxiu, and Chunxiu is unwilling to be ungrateful, what should you do?" Wang Hongju gave Cui Fengming a problem.

Cui Fengming threw the unfinished half of the cigarette in his hand on the ground and twisted it out on his toes. "Whatever it is! Anyway, I must snatch Chunxiu back! ”

"I advise you to calm down, how can you say that you will rob someone's wife?"

Cui Fengming didn't listen to persuasion, he got up from the sofa and walked in the house without stopping, suddenly he stopped in front of Wang Hongju and said loudly: "Hongju, tell me how to find Chunxiu?" I want to see her right away! ”

"Chunxiu is my mother's friend, and I can't contact her."

Cui Fengming said impatiently: "Then I will go with you to find my aunt after work to ask for Chunxiu's address." ”

"No! My mother won't let me tell you about Chunxiu, because he is afraid that you will disturb people's normal life. ”

Cui Fengming pleaded with Wang Hongju: "Brother, you tell me the news about Chunxiu, and you don't let me see Chunxiu, don't you want to kill me?" We are brothers in distress, you must help me meet Chunxiu! ”

Wang Hongju's heart softened when he saw Cui Fengming's anxious appearance, "Old Cui, people's hearts are flesh and blood, I understand your feelings very well, I should help you see Chunxiu." But you have to handle the relationship between you and Chunxiu correctly, emotional things can't be forced, if you don't get it right, you can't even be friends! ”

Cui Fengming saw that Wang Hongju was relieved, so he happily agreed: "Don't worry! I'm not going to give Chunxiu any trouble! ”

"Tell me your office phone number, and I'll ask Chunxiu to call you directly."

"Great, you're a good friend!" Cui Fengming wrote his phone number to Wang Hongju.

"Old Cui, don't be too happy. If Sister Chunxiu doesn't call you, it proves that she doesn't want to contact you anymore, you have to forget about her and marry that little nurse as a wife. If Sister Chunxiu is willing to see you, you don't want to break up her family. Wang Hongju gave Cui Fengming a preventive shot.

"Well, I'll listen to you!" Don't look at Cui Fengming's promise very happily, according to his judgment in his heart, Sister Chunxiu will definitely call him.

Wang Hongju is an anxious person, and after Wang Hongju left Cui Fengming that night, he went directly to Chunxiu's pharmacy in Dongcheng, and he told Chunxiu about Cui Fengming's phone number. (To be continued......)
