Return To 1977 Chapter 586: Women chasing men
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
As the saying goes, a man chases a woman across a mountain, and a woman chases a man across a veil. In fact, as long as the girl is tempted by this kind of thing, the rest of the matter won't be too difficult.
On an "accidental" occasion, Hong Yanwen witnessed with his own eyes the scene in which Xu Chongya "accidentally dropped" a handkerchief and then "unknowingly" walked into the bookstore. He quickly picked up the things and chased them in, and the two of them started talking.
It got even simpler later. After the initial acquaintance, Xu Chongya told Hong Yanwen to "thank you", "Don't buy books from those people anymore. Thank you. Although these books cannot be sold to you according to regulations, I can lend them to you. That's it." , you can take whatever you want to read from here, as long as you don’t tell others about it, and don’t lend the book to others.”
This is equivalent to having a free library! Of course Hong Yanwen was overjoyed. Thank you profusely on the spot. Then there is borrowing and returning books.
He no longer has to stand outside when he comes. Xu Chongya is very warm to him. Not only does he give him tea, but she also lets him sit on the sofa and pick and watch slowly. The two of them will also chat together and exchange experiences about books.
And since he is so interesting, then Hong Yanwen, a grown man, is too embarrassed to take advantage of it for nothing? It’s always appropriate to invite people to restaurants and movies, right? Little by little, the two of them came together.
So, what Qian Zhongshu said in "The Besieged City" is quite reasonable. Books cannot be borrowed casually. If you borrow them, things will come out.
In short, Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya have made up for each other's emotional emptiness and loneliness. Within a few months, they developed from confidants and friends to lovers.
Just before Hong Yanwen was about to graduate, the two of them couldn't wait to announce their relationship to their families so that they could get their little red books in time for National Day.
Why are you in such a hurry? In fact, apart from the fact that this was a late love for Xu Chongya, who couldn't hold back the desire in her heart, she also had concerns about Hong Yanwen's future.
"First Normal University" is a normal college after all. After graduation, you have to stay and work in the education field. Xu Chongya wanted to finalize her relationship with Hong Yanwen before the school assigned work. This is a reason for the father to assign a better job to his lover.
As for Hong Yanwen, he is already twenty-five years old and there is a real need to start a family.
Although dating was not allowed in college, he originally planned to consider personal issues after graduation. But now that God has arranged this fate, and Xu Chongya is a girl with excellent conditions in all aspects, what's wrong with letting nature take its course?
As for his career, the same is true. He does not expect to rely on nepotism to get to the top. But firstly, she was afraid that Xu Chongya would be sad if she rejected her good intentions, and secondly, she really didn't have much interest in education. If he could use this relationship to change the environment, he would also like it. Can’t you just rely on your own efforts from now on?
In this way, the marriage of the two people was put on the agenda. They soon began to take practical action.
If young men and women want to form a family, of course they must obtain the consent of their parents, so visiting each other's homes is a necessary procedure.
At this stage, Xu Chongya asked Hong Yanwen to go to her house first. This is because she is most worried about her parents. She knew what they valued and was afraid that they would dislike Hong Yanwen's civilian status and family background.
As expected, when their daughter first introduced Hong Yanwen's family situation, Deputy District Chief Xu Bingquan and District Chief's wife Yu Wanfen were not happy.
In their view, their daughter’s condition is so good that she should find a family of a minister or deputy minister. If you are a soldier, at least at the military district level. Only in this way can we be considered a match.
I rejected so many outstanding cadres’ disciples in vain, why did this happen!
Even Xu Chongya's younger brother Xu Shaojun expressed his extreme disappointment in his sister.
He sarcastically said that his sister was clearly in a daze. As proud as she was before, his buddies thought that her sister should at least be the mayor's wife. Finding such a master now is simply embarrassing for him as a younger brother.
Of course Xu Chongya was very annoyed by her family's attitude.
To be honest, she doesn’t pay much attention to the concept of family status. This is indeed influenced by novels and movies. With her young age, she could easily be deceived by the beautiful fairy tales fabricated by literary and artistic workers.
She is naive and does not understand what extra burdens people have to bear if they go against the objective laws.
But she does not have any lofty ideals. She neither wants to be the boss of her husband, nor does she have any ambition to be the mayor's wife or the minister's wife, as Xu Shaojun said.
She is high-minded and picky, and she focuses more on whether her lover is handsome, chic, passionate, smart, and graceful.
Having a decent husband who can talk, read and watch movies with her every day, and live a comfortable life that is superior to ordinary people, is her biggest ideal as a little woman.
Hong Yanwen can completely satisfy her request. She had finally fallen in love with a man. She had already regarded Hong Yanwen as the only one in her life, so how could she give up so easily?
So she was not afraid to fight alone, argued hard to defend her love, and had an unprecedented fierce dispute with her family.
Xu Chongya's parents had never seen their daughter so stubborn. They had no choice but to compromise and agreed to meet Hong Yanwen first.
But to be honest, until this moment, they just wanted to deal with their daughter. He had even made up his mind to treat each other with contempt so that Hong Yanwen would retreat.
However, when they really saw Hong Yanwen in person, they understood their daughter a little bit.
It turns out that Hong Yanwen was personable, polite and thoughtful after he arrived. Because I was used to going in and out of my big house, I didn't feel any discomfort in the four-bedroom apartment of Xu's house. It was completely different from what Xu Bingquan and his wife imagined that ordinary people's children would be restrained and guilty because they had never seen the world.
And Hong Yanwen’s actions were anything but shabby. Although the pastries and tea were ordinary, with the Maotai liquor, Chinese cigarettes, and sea cucumbers from Bincheng "sponsored" by Hong Yanwu, even visiting senior officials and ministers was considered a big gift.
This made Yu Wanfen feel angry at first glance. At least she took a liking to Hong Yanwen's appearance and felt that he looked outstanding and would be a perfect match for his daughter.
As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. In this way, Yu Wanfen changed her attitude first, and hot tea and fruits were served.
Xu Bingquan was still sullen at first. But later I chatted with Hong Yanwen for a few words and was impressed by his knowledge.
He believes that Hong Yanwen is a man of real talent and learning, and he is also a college student. If he is well cultivated, he may not be unable to achieve something.
As a result, he was tempted. I suddenly exchanged glances with my wife and changed my approach. I asked the nanny at home to cook some delicious dishes and treated Hong Yanwen to a good meal.
