Three

At the beginning of the month, the wartime child care association was established in Hankou, and the war victims were taken in, and the nursery school assumed the responsibility of education and recruited teachers from the society.

She didn't expect that the second time she saw Jiang Gubei, it was in a nursery school.

At school, Jing Mingchen teaches music and dance, when Jiang Gubei came, she was teaching the children to sing, sitting in front of the piano, notes and melodies flowed from her fingers, Jing Mingchen closed her eyes slightly, listening to the sound of the piano and the children's clear and immature singing, the breeze was gentle and the sun was warm that day, and she was almost going to fall asleep, at the end of the song, there was a sudden applause outside the door, Jing Mingchen opened his eyes and looked back, it was Director Chen who stood by the window and applauded, and the person standing next to him was not her fiancΓ© Jiang Gubei? She remembers his height vividly.

Director Chen introduced Jing Mingchen: "This is my friend, Jiang Gubei. ”

Hey, it turned out that Mr. Chen didn't know the news of himself and Jiang Gubei, Jiang Gubei smiled slightly: "Hello." ”

He pretended not to know himself, and Jing Mingchen cooperated with the acting: "Hello." β€œ

They stretched out their hands and shook each other's hands, Jiang Gubei's hands were very dry and a little rough, Jing Mingchen finally saw his face clearly in the sun, there was no doubt that he was handsome, with deep eyebrows and thick black eyebrows, but unfortunately it was not what she liked.

Director Chen said goodbye: "I left a little in advance, please Miss Jing help me take Gubei around the school, Gubei is a rich man, maybe he will donate some money to the school, haha." ”

Jing Mingchen didn't tell her colleagues about her engagement, obviously, Director Chen thought she was single and intended to match her and Jiang Gubei.

Jing Mingchen's heart suddenly moved.

This shows that Director Chen didn't know about Jiang Gubei's engagement, they were friends, but Jiang Gubei didn't tell him, could it be that he, like himself, was also ashamed of this arranged marriage?

The two of them kept a distance on the school lawn one after the other, Jing Mingchen took care of himself and made a small calculation in his heart, if Jiang Gubei was also dissatisfied with this marriage, could he consider winning him to regret the marriage?

Suddenly, Jiang Gubei spoke, and he asked, "Does Miss Jing teach music and dance at school?" ”

There seemed to be a little contemptuous attitude towards music and dance in his tone, Jing Mingchen was sensitive to this, and his tone of answer couldn't help but be a little stiff: "What? Mr. Jiang looks down on music and dance? ”

Jiang Gubei smiled faintly: "It's nothing, as an interested sponsor, I just want to know about the teaching situation of the school, after all, the national crisis is at the head of the economy, and every penny has to be spent where it should be spent...... I would like to ask, is there any other useful curriculum offered in the school besides music and dance? ”

Obviously, he thinks that music and dance are useless things, Jing Mingchen was completely angry, she said bluntly: "Mr. Jiang is in business, of course he thinks that music and dance have no effect, if Mr. Jiang thinks it is useful, I am afraid that he can only change all the school textbooks into business classics, but it is a pity that the school teaches to educate people, not to cultivate a group of mercenary small businessmen." ”

Jiang Gubei raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It sounds like Miss Jing looks down on businessmen, but now the slogan of the government's industry to save the country is very loud. ”

Jing Mingchen was speechless, and for a long time, she waved her hand irritably: "Mr. Jiang, the two of us hate each other so much, why are we engaged?" ”

Jiang Gubei was stunned, Jing Mingchen was also stunned, she didn't expect that she would say what was in her heart so easily, and as soon as the words were spoken, there was no room for turn, but she became excited: "Seriously, Mr. Jiang, what I like is wind and snow, what you love is down-to-earth, we are not the same kind of people, nor are we people who need each other, we are all new youths, why do we have to be bound by family?" It's better to stop it sooner. ”

Jiang Gubei calmed down: "Do you want to regret your marriage?" ”

Jing Mingchen kicked the stones under his feet in annoyance: "If only I had the right to speak." ”

She turned her head to look at Jiang Gubei, and her expression was radiant: "But you are different." ”

Jiang Gubei was speechless: "Do you know how bad it will be if a girl is divorced?" Your future in-laws will be affected. ”

Jing Mingchen shrugged: "It doesn't matter, I don't want to marry anyone anyway, it's good to be single for the rest of my life." ”

After a long time, Jiang Gubei asked: "Aren't you because you have someone else in your heart?" ”

Jing Mingchen nodded, and Jiang Gubei thoughtfully: "Oh, I know." ”

A few days later, a piece of news shocked Hankou - the third lady of the Jing family was actually divorced by the eldest son of the Jiang family!

Mrs. Jing sat in front of Jing Mingchen's bed and scolded Jiang Gubei for two hours, rubbing Jing Mingchen's trembling shoulders, and softly comforted Jing Mingchen, who buried his face in the pillow and "cried": "Don't be sad, mom will find you a better son-in-law tomorrow." ”

After his mother left, Jing Mingchen wiped the tears from his laughter and threw the pillow aside.
