CHAPTER XIV
After dinner, Hu Zhanyong watched the news broadcast, but Chen Wenhai didn't want to watch it, so he went out alone.
When I came to the principal Qu Ying's house, Qu Ying was eating.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten it."
"How about a little more?"
"I'm full."
Qu Ying said to his wife:
"Yue, pour a cup of tea for Teacher Chen."
Chen Yue'e hurriedly made a cup of tea and brought it to Chen Wenhai with a smile, Chen Wenhai took the teacup with a smile and put it on the table.
"We have poor conditions here, and the school building has not yet been built, but it will be built soon." Qu Ying asked Chen Wenhai, "Are there any difficulties in life?" ”
"Nope."
"Is there a partner?"
"Not yet."
"You're young. I thought: as long as you do a good job, the object will not be a problem. ”
"Can you pick one of the teachers in our school?" Chen Yue'e, Chen Wenhai.
"Where is the right one in the school?" Qu Ying asked his wife.
"For example, Zhang Xuemei, I think it is very suitable for Chen Wenhai."
"The problem is that Zhang Xuemei already has an object. What's so good about Zhang Xuemei? I don't think it's suitable for Chen Wenhai! ”
"Why?"
"Chen Wenhai is from a big city, and Zhang Xuemei grew up in a small county, so she is not worthy of Chen Wenhai at all!."
"You're not right at all! Zhang Xuemei is so beautiful, she was the class flower in the class when she was in school, and Chen Wenhai is a college student and very talented. If the two of them can be combined, they can be regarded as talented and beautiful! Such a talented woman, you still say it's not suitable! I doubt there's something wrong with your brain! ”
"You know what!" Qu Ying's expression became solemn, "How could a great writer like Chen Wenhai fall in love with Zhang Xuemei?" Chen Wenhai doesn't need vases and embroidered pillows, what he needs is a confidant! Chen Wenhai, am I right? ”
"Love, marriage and family are complex issues." Chen Wenhai smiled bitterly, "Sometimes boys fall in love with a girl who is not a confidant!" This kind of love can also be very painful! ”
"So, what do you think of a girl like Zhang Xuemei?" Chen Yue'e asked Chen Wenhai.
"I don't know much about Zhang Xuemei." Chen Wenhai smiled, and then said to Chen Yue'e: "However, if I fall in love with her, I will take the initiative to approach her." I don't think the principal would object, would he? ”
"Everyone has the right to pursue love and happiness, how could I object?" Qu Ying smiled, and then said to Chen Wenhai: "However, I want to remind you that ideals cannot replace reality, sometimes, when solving marriage problems, you must be realistic, and the requirements for the woman cannot be too high!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Wenhai heard Qu Ying's voice, and felt very uncomfortable, "If I have fallen in love with Zhang Xuemei, shouldn't I pursue her?" ”
"Of course you can go after her, no one has the power to stop you." The corners of Qu Ying's mouth were full of contempt and sarcasm, "You just graduated from college, you should focus on teaching and try your best to teach books well!" As for marriage, you can think about it later! A manly husband should focus on his career! ”
After coming out of Qu Ying's house, Chen Wenhai walked along the railway.
Chen Wenhai was walking forward, and suddenly found that there was also a person walking in front of him, and when he got closer, it turned out to be Hu Zhanyong.
Hu Zhanyong saw that Chen Wenhaiguang was walking with his head down and not speaking, so he said to him:
"You seem to have something on your mind!"
"Just now, I went to the principal's house. He seems to be against me approaching Zhang Xuemei! ”
"What's the use of him objecting?"
"He is the principal, and Zhang Xuemei's father is an old comrade-in-arms, as soon as he objects, I have no hope of marrying Zhang Xuemei!"
"If there is no hope, go after other girls! Why hang yourself from a tree? ”
"The problem is that I haven't fallen in love with another girl yet!" Chen Wenhai said to Hu Zhanyong, "I see that the principal also has the outdated concept of the feudal society in his head, and he opposes me to get close to Zhang Xuemei, doesn't it just look at Zhang Xuemei as a cadre's son!" ”
"It's not just the right thing, I'm afraid there are other reasons, right?" Hu Zhanyong glanced at Chen Wenhai, "I heard that you were stimulated on marriage issues when you were in college, is there such a thing?" ”
"I strongly oppose my parents' arranged marriage!" Chen Wenhai said to Hu Zhanyong, "When I was in college, my mother insisted that I marry an uneducated rural girl!" My mother's forced marriage made me seriously ill! ”
"And what are you going to do in the future?"
"Actually, I'm very conflicted right now!" Chen Wenhai told Hu Zhanyong calmly: "I can't make up my mind whether I should chase Zhang Xuemei again in the future, because my understanding of her is still very limited after all!" ”
"I think: since you are already in love with her, you should continue to pursue her, because it is only in the process of pursuing that you can get to know her better!"
"In real life, lovers often can't become dependents! Wang Shifu said in "The Legend of the West Chamber": I hope that all the people in the world have become dependents, in fact, this is just a good wish of people! ”
After Chen Wenhai left, Qu Yingman said to his wife:
"In the future, if Chen Wenhai comes to my house again, don't interfere!"
"Am I talking nonsense? Mr. Chen's body is so thin and he needs a girl to help him in life, is it wrong for me to care about his personal problems? ”
"The problem is that you shouldn't mention Zhang Xuemei! Now, Huang Jianhua is chasing Zhang Xuemei, you don't know! ”
"Of course I do, but do you think the two of them are suitable?"
"What's out of place? As long as the relationship between the two of them is good, there is nothing wrong with it! ”
"Is the relationship between the two of them good?" Chen Yue'e couldn't help laughing, "You men are just rough-hearted, and you don't understand women's minds at all!" To tell you the truth, Zhang Xuemei didn't take a fancy to him at all! ”
"Aren't the two of them good?"
"Zhang Xuemei is both talented and beautiful, how can she fall in love with him? What else could he do besides play football? ”
"How can you belittle him so much?" Qu Ying slapped the table, and then shouted: "Huang Jianhua only went to junior high school, and he taught himself high school courses, how difficult it is for a disabled person!" Not only are you not moved, but you belittle him so much, can you still be considered a human being? ”
"Don't be so excited!" Chen Yue'e continued: "Huang Jianhua's spirit is indeed very valuable, and we should all learn from him, but does this have anything to do with love? Could it be that based on this alone, Zhang Xuemei should marry him? I think: Zhang Xuemei and Huang Jianhua are not suitable at all! ”
"Zhang Xuemei and Chen Wenhai are not suitable either!"
"How is it not suitable? One is a talent, the other is a beauty, and it happens to be a talent with a beauty! ”
"Don't forget, it's not a feudal society now, and your set is outdated!"
"On the issue of marriage, people still pay attention to the appearance of talented women!"
