Lin Zixuan returned to the familiar rhythm of life.

He deliberately reduced his work, stayed at home to accompany Feng Chengcheng, and arranged his sister Lin Xiaoling's trip to the United States.

In this era, there are two types of study in the United States: official and self-funded, and there is a limit on the number of places.

In 1908, the U.S. Congress passed a bill to refund China's "Gengzi Indemnity" in excess of the actual losses of the U.S. side, and use the money to help China run schools and subsidize Chinese students to study in the United States.

The two sides agreed to establish the Tsinghua Academy, and since 1909, China has sent 100 students to the United States every year.

This is the origin of Geng's students studying in the United States, and this form of studying in the United States has been fixed as a system.

Since 1909, some self-financed international students in the United States have also been able to receive Geng Money, resulting in a rapid increase in the number of Chinese students studying in the United States.

By 1924, the number of students in the United States was 1,637, of whom 1,075 were self-financed.

Lin Xiaoling graduated from Shanghai Chinese and Western Girls' School, which is equivalent to a high school graduation in later generations, and the Chinese and Western Girls' School is a church school, and for graduates of this school who want to go abroad for further study, they can recommend them to a church university in the United States to continue their studies.

For example, the three sisters of the Song family are like this, as well as Bing Xin, who is studying at Wellesley Women's College in Boston, USA.

Wellesley College for Women has an unwritten rule that men are not allowed to hold any leadership positions in the university, and it is an all-girls school.

Lin and Liang went to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, a coeducational university.

Lin Xiaoling originally planned to go to Wellesley College for Women, but after she heard that she could go to a coeducational university. Immediately changed his mind and prepared to go to Philadelphia.

Maybe she was tired of living in a Chinese and Western girls' school for nearly ten years.

As for what to study, she hasn't figured it out yet. She is interested in a wide range of subjects, including business and the arts.

This incident caused a stir in the family for a while. The older generation has different concepts, they can still accept Lin Xiaoling and foreign women going to school together, but they can't accept it when they mix with foreign men.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but shake his head, fortunately, the dormitories of American universities are now separate for men and women, if they are like the mixed dormitories of American universities in later generations, I am afraid that the parents in the Republic of China era will collapse.

With Lin Huiyin's example, Lin Xiaoling did not back down and was very persistent.

According to her, when I get to the United States, it's up to me. I went to school wherever I wanted.

Lin Zixuan inevitably has to mediate in it, this is a family matter, although it is troublesome, but he really cares about each other.

Feng Chengcheng is very envious of this sister-in-law, who can study abroad.

She also had a lot of ideals when she was in a girls' school in Beiping, thinking of studying abroad and wanting to become a female painter.

Because she grew up in the French Concession and came into contact with a lot of French people, Paris is a place she has always wanted to visit. In her imagination, it was the capital of romance, full of art.

However, the reality is that she is married. Having children and running a women's clothing store.

Feng Chengcheng remembered that he had a very stiff quarrel with his father in order to go to college, at that time. She is even more stubborn than this sister-in-law.

It's just that she finally compromised. Instead of leaving Shanghai, he married a man.

Sometimes. I will have some regrets in my heart when I recall the past, and I don't know if those classmates from the girls' school went there, whether they continued to pursue their ideals, or compromised with life like themselves.

When did you change?

Feng Chengcheng thought about it, maybe it was from the time he received his first love letter, maybe it was after the two of them got to know each other slowly, or maybe it was the moment when he saw him walking towards him at some inadvertent moment.

The relationship between the two is the same as that of other men and women, there are no deliberate surprises, but rather bland.

In the past two years, she has watched him walk on the road to success step by step, his circle has continued to expand, and his influence has increased day by day.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a genius in Shanghai, a world-renowned novelist, a leading figure in the literary world, and even Americans have come to China to interview him.

But in Feng Chengcheng's eyes, the man she married was the same as when she first met, and nothing had changed.

In Shanghai, many women envy her and think she is very happy.

Are you happy?

Feng Chengcheng stroked her abdomen and looked at the man sitting next to her who was reading a book, she was very satisfied with this kind of life.

Maybe that's happiness.

As far away as Paris, it would be nice to fantasize about it in a dream, and everything in front of you is the most real, and it may take a few years for her sister-in-law to understand this truth.

The scenery in the distance is beautiful, but it is not as warm and comfortable as home.

The weather in May is warm and the sun is shining.

In the small garden behind the Lin Mansion, Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng sat on a bench, Feng Chengcheng leaned on Lin Zixuan's body, and Lin Zixuan was holding a book and watching.

The sun shone through the treetops, and in the distance a few butterflies fluttered among the flowers.

He didn't know that his wife was reminiscing about the past, but he habitually held her hand and looked at her lazy appearance.

After sitting for a while, he helped Feng Chengcheng up, and the two walked slowly around the small garden.

According to the doctor's instructions, pregnant women should move from time to time, which is good for both the fetus and the mother.

The two chatted about family trivialities while walking, mainly Lin Xiaoling's affairs.

This sister is a bit of a headache, and Lin Zixuan doesn't know what will happen to her when she arrives in the United States.

Feng Chengcheng said don't worry too much, when she arrives in the United States, the sister-in-law will slowly become sensible after living independently.

This is her experience, thinking about how she used to be willful and angry, now she only feels funny, married and has children, everything has become different.

This shows that I have matured.

The two walked around, continued to sit on the bench, snuggled together, and Lin Zixuan began to read softly.

It is said that this is prenatal education, which has been proven by Western doctors that the child in the womb can hear the sound of the outside world, and the child who has undergone prenatal education will be exceptionally smart.

Feng Chengcheng thought that her husband was talking nonsense, but she didn't refuse, it's good for the two of them to be together like this.

This story was written by Lin Zixuan, although it was a children's story, it sounded very interesting, and even she was fascinated by it.

The story is called "Shuk and Beta" and tells the adventures of two little mice.

She didn't know how her husband could come up with so many new and interesting stories, maybe it was a gift.

Because the child was about to be born, Lin Zixuan thought of fairy tales, children's literature in this era was just starting, and he was going to set up a children's magazine to write fairy tales for future generations.

Not only for their own children, but also for other children in China, it is unimaginable to have a childhood without fairy tales.

This is a more important thing than a literary polemic. (To be continued.) )
