Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Qiu Luming endured it again and again, but still complained, "Meifen, it's over now. The most urgent thing is for you to quickly return to your normal life. You haven't been hurt, so why are you like this? You know what people are talking about outside, and you think others haven't said enough?"

Han Meifen covered her face and cried, "I'm sorry, I was scared when I thought about yesterday and had nightmares all night."

Qiu Luming was speechless. Forget it. Didn’t he also have a nightmare last night? So he shouldn’t be too demanding of others.

She patted Han Meifen's back perfunctorily, "Did your mother scold you again? Okay, okay, stop crying. I shouldn't have said that to you. Just take your time."

Unexpectedly, Han Meifen cried even harder. "It was too dark last night, I couldn't see you, but I heard your footsteps running back. You don't know how touched I was at that time. Later, you dragged me and asked me to stand up. I didn't mean to drag you down. I was really scared and couldn't stand up! I hate myself so much..."

Qiu Luming felt embarrassed. "Oh, don't be like this. I was actually quite scared too. If it happens again, I might run away first. Also, didn't my dad perform surgery on that robber last night? My mom and I didn't dare go home in the middle of the night, so we stayed in the hospital ward. As a result, I also had a nightmare."

Han Meifen hugged Qiu Luming and burst into tears, "Your parents and your brother are so good to you. My parents started scolding me on the way home in the middle of the night, and they are still scolding me today... and, there's also my wallet..."

Qiu Luming quickly said, "The wallet is fine!"

Han Meifen stopped crying immediately, looked up at her, blinking her red eyes.

Qiu Luming looked at her and nodded deeply, "Yes, it's okay!" What could happen to a person in the background of a photo? Only Han Meifen would be so shocked by this.

Han Meifen breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa.

Qin Huifang was puzzled. "What photos?"

"No, nothing." Han Meifen said vaguely and took out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

Zheng Wei suddenly said to Qiu Luming, "How about this, I'll pick you up from get off work before school starts!"

"Ah?" Qiu Luming was stunned. "No, I don't have classes now, so you don't need to pick it up. There are so many people on the way home from get off work, it's okay."

Ma Mingjun glanced at Zheng Wei and immediately said, "Well, then I will be responsible for picking up Han Meifen. Let's divide the responsibilities!"

Han Meifen blushed, "No, no, I'm going to get off work with my dad."

"Oh, all right."

Zheng Wei ignored what others said and stared at Qiu Luming, "Have you ever thought about how Ma Zhenyi showed up so coincidentally? His home is at the west end of the county town. Think about it, was he coming from the west or the east? If it was the east, then he could explain that he was going home. If it was the west, whose house would he go to after nine o'clock? So, although he saved you two, we have to say that he is also a dangerous factor!"

"Tsk tsk!" Lu Jiaming laughed, "When did Lao Zheng become so meticulous in his thinking? Did you go to an electric power school or a police school in Harbin?"

"Get lost!" Zheng Wei yelled at him, "If you hadn't made such a strong drink, would we have all gotten drunk? I've never seen you treat a meal like this!"

"When I was drinking, everyone rushed to drink it, saying that it wasn't spicy, didn't burn your heart, and didn't make you dizzy. But after drinking it, they came to scold me. I've never seen you treat a guest like this!" Lu Jiaming was also anxious.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing!" Qiu Luming hurriedly tried to stop the fight.

As soon as the door rang, Qiu Jiashu came in with a stern face. Seeing someone suddenly in the living room, he frowned. Ma Mingjun stood up first, "Brother Qiu is off work, let's go see old...Qiu Luming." After saying that, he pointed to the canned food and pastries he brought.

Several other people also stood up and called out to Brother Qiu.

"Ah, you are here, please sit down, I will come back to get something and leave soon."

"No, no, we don't want to sit here anymore. We should leave." Several people took their coats, huddled together, and hurried out the door.

Qiu Luming went out to see the guests off, and came back to ask his second brother, "What happened?"

"That..." Qiu Jiashu pointed in the direction of the Han family somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh, you should have known what she was thinking a long time ago."

"How would I know what you little girls are thinking about?"

"You're not a slow person. You can't fool me. You must have felt it."

"Well, I know a little."

"Is that right? There is nothing wrong with admitting it. It is impossible for a person to be completely ignorant of other people's affection for him."

"So you also feel that Ma Zhenyi and Zheng Wei have a crush on you?"

"Uh..." It was Qiu Luming's turn to be embarrassed. "I was talking about you, why are you dragging me into this?"

"I'm asking you to be careful. Ma Zhenyi has extreme emotions. You can't get close to him, but you can't anger him either. Can you grasp the balance?"

Qiu Luming was a little embarrassed, "I don't know." Then he asked, "Will he go in again this time?"

"I don't know." Qiu Jiashu looked at his sister. "You and Fei Yuanhang have confirmed your relationship. Both parents have agreed. You are so far away from each other, so you must pay attention to the distance between you and your male colleagues and classmates, especially Zheng Wei. He is too obvious! Remember?"

"Remember!" Qiu Luming didn't want to listen to his second brother's nagging, so he pretended to hold a microphone, raised his right hand to his chin, and asked with a smile, "Officer, I want to interview you. From childhood to adulthood, people look at you with admiring eyes every day, you receive a lot of love letters, and you are always cared for by women in your work and life. What does it feel like? Do you feel more happy or more troubled?"

"I still have more worries." Qiu Luming didn't expect her second brother to answer her seriously. He said, "Like this time, I didn't even know there was such a photo, and I didn't know she would put the photo in her wallet. If she got a solo photo of me, or if it wasn't Xie Zhi who was on duty yesterday, you can imagine how much worries I would have now.

Did you know that one of the reasons Zhou Lina's parents objected to our relationship was that I was too good-looking, and they concluded that I would definitely change my mind in the future... Haha, as if ugly people would never change their minds!"

Qiu Luming nodded. "Beauty is a passport, but it also makes it easy for people to misunderstand and ignore your character."

"Now many people say that I am marrying up because your second sister-in-law's family is so well off. Do I have to find an ordinary, poor person to be considered true love?

Fang Yuan and I also spent some time getting to know each other before we decided to be in a relationship. She doesn't beat around the bush, she's very direct and pure-hearted. Although her father is a bit shrewd, she's really nice and understands me. She's very nice to my parents and you."

"Second sister-in-law is a really nice person. I'm happy for you." Qiu Luming smiled and said, "Second brother, you have such a handsome face and a good temperament. If it were during the Wu Zhou era, you would definitely be captured by the empress and become her lover, hahahaha!"

"It's just a piece of skin. Isn't there a kitchen knife?" Qiu Jiashu said lightly.

Qiu Luming was stunned. She didn't expect her second brother to respond like this. She couldn't help but think of a sentence she had read in a book before: "The Yangtze River is not far away."

——This was Lin Huiyin's answer to the question "What to do if the Japanese army comes" when she refused to seek refuge abroad during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Qiu Luming suddenly felt uncomfortable for no reason. Good-looking people are indeed easily influenced by the environment and become impetuous, but her second brother is definitely not. The second brother has a good character and never flirts with any woman. He has excellent grades in school and is down-to-earth and serious at work. He also silently replaces the eldest brother, serves his parents in his hometown, and takes care of her, his sister, without any complaints. What a good brother he is! But someone dislikes him and makes him sad for so many years!

"Yoyo, thank you!" Qiu Jiashu said suddenly.

Qiu Luming knew that he was talking about her begging Xie Zhi, and smiled and shook his head.
