Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Chen Yan nodded vigorously.

He was actually very curious about what happened to Zhu Dakang.

But out of consideration for the relationship, as this was obviously Zhu Dakang's sad story, Chen Yan held back and didn't ask.

It couldn't be better if Zhu Dakang took the initiative to bring it up at this moment.

"I used to work here! I was the deputy director! And my teacher! His name is Gao Yanqiu, he was in charge of the entire translation bureau! He was also a very good scholar! Later he was demoted to an unknown place..."

At this moment, Zhu Dakang told Chen Yan all the past events that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time bit by bit.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't say these things.

After all, being convicted for speech is not uncommon in this special era!

So when some people say that this is a crazy and barbaric era, it is not an exaggeration.

Chen Yan was not surprised when listening to Zhu Dakang's story!

Just as he had guessed, it was a very common story, but it was a scar of this era.

It's heartbreaking.

"Now, I only want to see Teacher Gao as soon as possible! So, Chen Yan, I actually lied to you, I'm sorry!" After Zhu Dakang finished speaking, he sighed disappointedly and said to Chen Yan with an apologetic look on his face.

Chen Yan frowned. "You lied to me? Where did you get that from?"

Zhu Dakang smiled bitterly, "I can't be transferred back to the provincial capital from Lanshan by myself now! But maybe God is kind to me, so... he gave me a chance and let me meet you! No matter what, I am in charge of the work of Lanshan Xinhua Bookstore now. As long as the translations you make are substantial, then as your recommender, I have done a good job in disguise! Maybe I will have a chance to be transferred back!"

"Only after I am transferred back will I have the chance to ask about Teacher Gao's affairs!"

After saying this, Zhu Dakang looked at Chen Yan with an open gaze, his eyes flashing with guilt, "I know that what I did was despicable, and even took advantage of you! But Chen Yan, this is my only chance! Whether you despise me or blame me! I, Zhu Dakang, admit it! I only ask you to help me, help me this time!"

"I didn't tell you this before because I didn't know how to face you! But last night, I thought about it all night! A talent like you shouldn't be living in Lanshan County. It's too unfair for you! So, I decided to tell you everything! I still ask you to help me, but I have no right to ask you to do anything!"

After saying that, Zhu Dakang bowed deeply to Chen Yan, "I'm sorry!"

There was an inexplicable gleam in Chen Yan's eyes.

"Is it worth it, Uncle Zhu?"

Zhu Dakang did not wait for Chen Yan's refusal, nor did he wait for Chen Yan's agreement. Instead, he waited for a question from Chen Yan.

He knew that when he said those words just now and told Chen Yan everything, he actually didn't have much chance left.

But after interacting with Chen Yan for some time, he could feel Chen Yan's sincerity.

He was almost dead from carsickness yesterday, and Chen Yan was busy taking care of him alone.

The more Chen Yan acted like this, the more Zhu Dakang couldn't bear it.

Maybe for other people, it is a great honor and opportunity to have a connection with the Provincial Translation Bureau.

But through contact with Chen Yan, Zhu Dakang has finally understood after several attempts.

This kid is just like those hermits in ancient times. He would rather do what he likes in the mountains than go against his own ideas and pursue fame, fortune and wealth!

So, he decided not to force Chen Yan.

But Chen Yan didn’t know what Zhu Dakang was thinking at the moment.

If you knew, you would definitely say with a smile, Uncle Zhu, of course I want fame, wealth and power, but... it's just not suitable for me now!

Of course, this is off topic.

At this moment, Chen Yan was also weighing the issues in his mind.

What Zhu Dakang said is not simple.

He knows Zhu Dakang well.

After this period of contact, I also know what kind of person Zhu Dakang is.

But Chen Yan had never seen Gao Yanqiu.

Moreover, he knew very well that in this day and age, it was better not to get involved in some things. If one did, one never knew when it would bring trouble to oneself.

You know, some people were really wronged at that time, but there were also some people who had problems themselves.

This Gao Yanqiu is Zhu Dakang’s mentor, but not Chen Yan’s mentor.

Of course, Chen Yan never thought about giving up everything he had now.

He had finally found a way to make money steadily, and he was hoping to earn enough money to support Qin Yurou.

You can't give up halfway.

However, there are some things that need to be made clear in advance.

Zhu Dakang fell into deep thought at this moment.

Chen Yan asked him, "Is it worth it?"

Zhu Dakang grinned and said, "I don't know what this means to others. But for me, without Teacher Gao, I wouldn't be who I am today! I would have starved to death a long time ago!"

Zhu Dakang didn't say directly whether it was worth it or not, but the meaning of his words was very clear.

"Okay! Uncle Zhu! If you can be honest with me, I won't be rude either! To be honest, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to live my life with my wife! I don't want to get involved in other things, and I can't afford to get involved!"

When Zhu Dakang heard what Chen Yan said, he smiled bitterly in his heart!

Is that really the case?

Come to think of it!

Nowadays, among the people who were sent down to the lower ranks in which brigade, there were not a few who were in similar situations to their teachers?

How many people would do something for these people?

Don’t dare!

Chen Yan himself is an educated youth, and it is too risky for him to get involved in his teacher's affairs!

No wonder!

"I understand, Chen Yan, I still have to thank you. I..." Zhu Dakang hesitated for a moment, raised his head to say something. He was worried that Chen Yan had some burden in his heart.

but!

Before he could finish, Chen Yan interrupted him and continued.

"Uncle Zhu! I just listened to your story as a story! I think it's pretty good! If I change my career to become a writer in the future, I can write a book about this!"

"And now! I just want to make money!"

"I have to support my wife, I have to buy clothes for her, and my whole family needs to eat! So, I have to make money!"

"When can you get me a senior translator? Hehe! I can make more money and be more fashionable!"

After saying that, Chen Yan patted Zhu Dakang's shoulder meaningfully, then sat down in the enamel pot and gulped down the tea.

Zhu Dakang stood there in a daze!

Just want to make money?

He seemed to understand something.
