Chapter 30 Childhood Sweethearts

The blessing is far-reaching, and the moth is like a moth. It was "Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums." Living together for a long time, the two have no suspicion. ”

After Dai Yi was born, Dai Wei loved her only sister very much, and she had to take Xiao Xiao Er with her almost everywhere, and Ze Yuan and Feng Yi naturally saw Xiao Xiao Er from time to time. Zeyuan loves the house and Wu, and is as gentle as water to Huai'er. After a long time, Xiao'er always likes to stick to Dai Xun and Zeyuan's side, but Zeyuan always has to have time to be alone with Xun'er, so he always asks Feng Yi to take care of Xiao Yi'er...... In short, he dislikes her and makes him unable to play anything. But later, after he had been doing his mother's work for a long time, he was not used to it without the sound of Xiao Xiao'er crying in his ears. So it became that he took the initiative to pick up Xiao Wei'er and go out with Zeyuan and Dai Xun.

A carefree childhood will always pass. Although the four of them often get together from time to time, since Tong Fengyi and Qiu Zeyuan entered the Financial Secretary and the Overseer Office one after another, they talked more than just eating, drinking, and having fun. Especially after Tong Baiyi was sent to Puxi, there was more or less a wisp of melancholy between their eyebrows.

It was precisely because of this incident that Xin Daixun quarreled with Qiu Zeyuan for the first time......

That day should have been the first rain in early autumn, and the rain was flowing down the ridge carving of the west wing of Xinfu, penetrating Qiu Zeyuan's green shirt, but he still kept knocking on the door, until a tearful man with pear blossoms and rain opened the door, he wanted to persuade him, but he heard her ask: "Bai Yi is only five years old...... How could Uncle Qiu, Uncle Tong, and his father bear to send him to Puxi?! You train your army all day long, but you can't even keep your closest relatives? ”

Qiu Zeyuan took out the square silk and wanted to wipe the tears on Xin Daihuan's face, but Xin Daihuan turned his head to the side, "You go, Bai Yi's today may be my tomorrow." Since you can't protect me at all, I won't ask for your senseless mercy. ”

"Xun Xun, you listen to my explanation......" Before Qiu Zeyuan finished speaking, Xin Daiyuan had already locked him out.

Xin Daiyun in the house thought that Qiu Zeyuan had left, but she didn't expect him to squat at the door of her room, and it wasn't until she went out again that she found that he was shivering from the cold outside.

Although she couldn't bear it, she was even more angry that he was persecuting her so much. She turned a blind eye to his presence and turned a deaf ear to his pleas. In the end, when Xiao Xiao'er came to find her sister, she found Qiu Zeyuan, who was already feverish, and sent him back to the Overseer's Mansion.

Qiu Zeyuan seemed to feel a pair of soft little hands caressing his forehead and cheeks in a daze, and he struggled to open his eyes and saw a childish, familiar face.

"Brother Zeyuan, you're awake!" Little Dai exclaimed in surprise.

Qiu Zeyuan wanted to say the word "water", but found that he couldn't make a sound at all, but the smart Dai Yi immediately understood what he wanted, she wanted to help him get up and drink water, but she couldn't lift him. She had no choice but to go to the kitchen and fetch a spoon and feed him little by little.

Xiao Daiyu saw that her brother Zeyuan had been frowning, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Zeyuan, why are you squatting in front of my sister's door?" Isn't my sister there? ”

Qiu Zeyuan looked at the innocent little Daiyu, nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's not the right time for Brother Zeyuan to go, it just so happens that your sister went out to play." ”

Xiao Dai didn't know what she thought, and pouted, "I don't know where Uncle Tong sent Brother Bai Yi?" What kind of place is Puxi? Is it far from here? ”

"Does Xiao'er miss Brother Bai Yi?"

Little Daisy nodded, "Yes." Although my sister, Brother Zeyuan, and Brother Feng Yi treat me very well, I still like to play with Brother Bai Yi the most. ”

Qiu Zeyuan thought that Bai Yi was only one year older than Dai Wei, and the two of them could indeed play and talk more together than with them.

"Xiao'er, isn't Brother Zeyuan useless? Lost your brother Bai Yi......"

Xiao Daiyi looked at Qiu Zeyuan's sad expression, and felt very uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "No, didn't Uncle Qiu say it?" Brother Bai Yi will always come back. Besides, you will fly a kite with me and bake sweet potatoes for me to eat, you are very useful, how can it be useless? ”

Qiu Zeyuan was originally full of sadness, but when he heard Xiao Daiyi's answer, he was instantly amused by her innocence.

So when Tong Fengyi heard the news of Qiu Zeyuan's illness, he rushed to the Overseer's Mansion in a hurry, and the scene he saw was Qiu Zeyuan with a charcoal face and a little guy holding a sweet potato and giggling.

After that, Xin Daiyun quickly forgave Qiu Zeyuan, but only Tong Fengyi clearly knew that Qiu Zeyuan had nothing to be sorry for Xin Daiyuan, but Xin Daiyun was pampered and arrogant, and did not take Qiu Zeyuan to heart.

Since Qiu Zeyuan's generation, foreign ideas have begun to imperceptibly influence the people of Puxizhou. Women began to have their own names, and the buildings on the street were more than just garden courtyards, and people did not have to be connected by letters alone......

Qiu Jiyuan had insight into the situation, and in order to stabilize the political situation, he began to optimize and reform from various aspects, one of which is education. Qiu Jiyuan openly recruited foreign scholars to teach the children of Qiu Tong Xin's three families. After several rounds of screening, a Dr. Liuyang named Yuan Ye was selected by Qiu Jiyuan.

At that time, Qiu Zeyuan had no regrets after twenty years, and he had already made great achievements on the battlefield and was able to take charge of himself. Hearing his father say that he would ask someone to teach them to read, although he didn't dare to disobey his father's decision on the surface, he was not very convinced by this Dr. Liuyang. Tong Fengyi's thoughts were similar to Qiu Zeyuan's, so when the two of them first met Yuanye, they just talked to him about it, and he said above that they were handling their official duties below. On the contrary, Tong Baiyi, Xin Daiyun and Xin Daiyi listened more seriously.

Qiu Zeyuan occasionally raised his eyes to look at the wilderness a few times, and found that he obviously saw that he and Tong Fengyi ignored him, but he didn't say anything to discipline, and couldn't help but think of Mr. Xun, who was very strict with them when he was young. At that time, if he accidentally took a nap, he would have to be punished.

After class, he stopped Teacher Yuanye, who wanted to leave directly, and said righteously: "Teacher Yuan knew that Feng Yi and I didn't listen carefully during class, but he ignored it. After class, we do not assign lesson plans and homework to supervise our studies. You're such an easy teacher. ”

Yuan Ye lifted his glasses, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips that was not easy to be noticed, "Mr. Qiu also said, you didn't listen to my lecture carefully just now, so you naturally don't know what I said." It's my break and I'm not obligated to answer your questions that aren't related to schoolwork. Please get out of the way, I'm going home. ”

Tong Fengyi saw that this wilderness dared to be so flamboyant in front of them, and couldn't help but want to reprimand, but saw Xin Daiyun walking up to Qiu Zeyuan, gently pulling his arm, and letting him let the wilderness leave. Although Qiu Zeyuan was dissatisfied with the unruliness between Yuan Ye's words, he was even more reluctant to dismiss Xin Daiyun's heart, so he let Yuan Ye leave as he wished.

After Yuan Ye left, Xin Daiyun looked at Qiu Zeyuan helplessly, "Teacher Yuan has already said that the mainstream ideas in the outside world are freedom and equality. People have given us freedom, and we should also repay them as equals, shouldn't we? Besides, we didn't suffer enough from Mr. Xun's board when we were children? Now there is a reasonable teacher, don't you lose your identity when you look at others? ”

"Then will you tell me the key points of what he talked about today?" Qiu Zeyuan looked at Xin Daixun with a smile, his eyes were gentle like water, and there was honey in the cotton.

Tong Fengyi coughed heavily, "There are so many people, talking about love...... Oops! Qiu Zeyuan, you know how to kick me! If you have the ability, don't run! ”

Xin Ruilin looked at Tong Fengyi's embarrassed appearance, and laughed backwards. Tong Fengyi kicked him with a flying leg, but he was thrown into the air in a flash and fell to the ground, Xin Ruilin laughed even more, Tong Baiyi, who was standing in the corner, looked at Tong Fengyi who was lying on the ground and sneered secretly.

Only Xin Daiyi walked over to help Tong Feng Yi stand up, and asked with concern, "Brother Feng Yi, you didn't break it, did you?" Brother, you are really, Brother Feng Yi has fallen like this, and you are still gloating. ”

"My silly sister, can his rough skin and thick flesh still break sometimes? It would be nice if he could break it, and Zeyuan and I would have a few days to stop. Xin Ruilin said with a smile.

Tong Fengyi heard Xin Ruilin say such heartless words, he was angry, and just wanted to settle accounts with him but was stopped by Xin Daiyi, "Okay, okay, if you don't leave, Brother and Sister Zeyuan will go far, let's go find them." ”

……

After that, Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi listened carefully to a few lectures in the wilderness, and found that the world he described was something they had never been exposed to, and many of the ideas he expounded were deviant in their concepts. But as kings, they have been told since they were young that "the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great." "They should seek common ground and deal with all things in this world that are new and conflicting.

And they found out that the wilderness did indeed have his arrogant capital. He learned five cars, only eight buckets, knew astronomy, knew geography, and after he described the ancient and modern things at home and abroad, it was no longer a rigid history, but a period of interesting stories. In addition, although Yuan Ye is rebellious, he is not inclined to be inflammatory, and sometimes he can give Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi some suggestions that they did not expect. Gradually, he became Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi's "counselor", always by their side, criticizing their shortcomings.

In addition to Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi, Xin Daiyun also has a soft spot for this teacher who returned from abroad. His humor brought so much laughter to her twenty years of unchanging life. His yearning and pursuit of freedom also ignited her vision for the vast world in the future. Yuan Ye also took special care of this beautiful schoolgirl, often giving her novel gifts and telling her all kinds of strange stories.

Such a quiet time has passed a whole circle of annual rings......
