Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Although Qiu Luming felt that his third brother was a bit of a bully, he also understood that it was all for his own sake, so he didn't say a word.

Qiu Moshi continued, "There is another point that you don't understand. My sister is too honest. If she is disappointed, she will turn around and give up completely!"

"Don't worry, third brother. I will treat Lu Ming well, and we will never give up on each other!" Fei Yuanhang was neither humble nor arrogant, and he raised his head to drink the wine in the glass.

Fang Yuan looked innocent like a little girl in Qiu's house, but in fact, those who had experienced the army were not simple. In front of outsiders and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, she acted like a sister-in-law. Seeing that Qiu Moshi had shown enough power, she smiled and said to Sun Ning, "My Lu Ming has been transferred to work in the customs. The job is leisurely and respectable. When she puts on the uniform, she immediately surpasses me and her second brother!

She also studies very hard and does a very good job in translation. When she has some free time, she learns calligraphy from my father-in-law and knits from my mother-in-law. This time, she knitted a sweater for Yuanhang and Moshi respectively!"

Sun Ning stared at Fang Yuan for a long while, and suddenly murmured, "Fang Yuan, I really envy you."

Fang Yuan laughed, "Why are you envious of me? I envy you for living in a big city!"

"What's so good about Beijing, sandstorms or traffic jams? I really envy you. Jiayang's air is so fresh, the people are simple and leisurely."

"That's right. There are no big factories in Jiayang. Except for the boilers in winter, the air is usually sweet. There are no polluting enterprises on both sides of the river, and the river water is also very clear."

"You also have such a reasonable mother-in-law and sister-in-law."

"Ah?" So this is the key point. The air froze for three seconds. Fang Yuan glanced at Zhang Weijing uncomfortably, feeling a little embarrassed. If she was modest, she would be denying her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If she admitted it, it would seem like she was agreeing that Zhang Weijing's mother and sisters were not reasonable enough.

She smiled and changed the subject, "I can't compare to you. Manager Zhang is much more handsome than my Jiashu. He is well-educated, rich and has a good family background. You two are truly a perfect match. We are from a small family and just make a living in the frontier. By the way, I do have an advantage. Manager Zhang is the youngest son in the family, so I have the most capable and handsome brother-in-law than you!"

Qiu Moshi laughed out loud, "So there's a share for me!"

Sun Ning just smiled and said nothing. When he saw the half-drunk Zhang Weijing staring at Qiu Luming, his mood immediately became terrible. He frowned, picked up the wine glass and shouted impatiently, "Weijing, Viking!"

"...what?"

"Isn't it Grandma Zhang's 75th birthday on the first of next month? Why don't you invite Fang Yuan and Lu Ming?"

Zhang Weijing frowned and looked at Sun Ning.

******

Before the exam, Fei Yuanhang took time out to accompany Qiu Luming to Xiangshan, climb the Great Wall, and visit the Forbidden City. He also asked a friend to take her to Peking University for a tour. They didn't go in because the gates of Tsinghua University and Beihang University were too strict, but they did visit the Film Academy.

During this period, Fang Yuan did not follow. She went to her cousin's house, but returned to the hotel every night to live with Qiu Luming, faithfully completing the task assigned by her mother-in-law.

The exams were held on Saturday and Sunday at No. 57 Middle School. Fei Yuanhang had taken her to the site in advance and arranged lunch for her. After two days, everything went smoothly. Qiu Luming roughly estimated that her scores would be over 70.

After the exam, Qiu Luming put all matters concerning the self-study exam behind his mind, as there was no point in thinking too much about it.

On November 2, Qiu Luming put on the woolen skirt and windbreaker she had just bought in Beijing, and went to Zhang's house with Fang Yuan to attend Grandma Zhang's birthday party.

In fact, Qiu Luming and Fang Yuan were not suitable to attend. Today's guests were all from the same family as the Zhang family. Qiu and Fang Yuan did not belong to this circle and would be very embarrassed. But after Sun Ning mentioned it in a bit of anger that day, Zhang Weijing seemed to have made up his mind and sent a formal invitation to Qiu Luming and Fang Yuan the next day.

Qiu Moshi prepared gifts for them, bought them new clothes, and privately told Qiu Luming, "You must be careful with your words and actions."

Qiu Luming snorted, "If I go there, I have to kowtow to the old lady, right?"

Qiu Moshi scolded, "Nonsense!"

Qiu Luming glared at him. "I said I would go home after the exam, but you insisted that I stay. What are you thinking? Are you going to sell out your sister and sister-in-law so that the Zhang family can support your business?"

Qiu Moshi covered her mouth with his hand, "You are a grown-up girl who is about to get married, how come you are still so clueless! I want you to go out and broaden your horizons, to see what kind of life other senior officials live, and to let you know what a good life is! Don't always think that Fei Yuanhang is the best, and to clear your mind. I know Zhang Weijing's thoughts very well. You must see the gap between you two. If one day Zhang Weijing goes crazy and says or does something to you, you must know what to do."

"Got it!" Qiu Luming hit Qiu Moshi on the back, "Who are you looking down on? I'm not the kind of person who would change his mind if I were to ask for more!"

"That's the best!"

Three hours before the banquet, Zhang Weijing drove to pick up Qiu Luming and Fang Yuan. They drove to a relatively wide alley and pushed open the vermilion lacquered gate, which revealed a stone screen wall engraved with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. They turned around, walked around the corridor and arrived at the backyard.

People's emotions are affected by the environment.

When Qiu Luming was in Peking, although he lived in a boarding school, he also visited the homes of wealthy female classmates and saw luxurious courtyard houses and Western-style villas.

But at this moment, when she walked in this yard, she felt not only wealth, but more importantly, nobility.

When she entered the main room in the backyard and saw Grandma Zhang, Qiu Luming felt a little uneasy because she found that Sun Ning had not come yet. To put it bluntly, they came too early.

She looked at Zhang Weijing in confusion, wondering what he meant.

Zhang Weijing solemnly introduced them to his grandmother, and pointed at Qiu Luming and said, "Grandma, this is Uncle Qiu's daughter whom I told you about. How about her? Pretty, isn't she?"

Grandma Zhang is over 70 years old, but she has straight teeth, a fair face, and no white hair on her head. Most of her hair is just a little yellow. She has a bun at the back of her head with a simple and elegant white jade hairpin inserted in it.

The old lady has a plump face, kind eyes, and one can vaguely see the beauty she had in her prime.
