Three or Two Things about Rebirth

"Hello!" Qiu Luming smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello!" Fei Yuanhang also smiled and gently shook Qiu Luming's hand, then immediately let go.

Qiu Luming knew Fei Yuanhang. He was admitted to the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the age of 17 and became the pride of the people of the whole county. Principal Fei mentioned this son many times, and his eyes were full of pride.

In terms of appearance, Fei Yuanhang cannot compare with Qiu Jiashu in terms of height or looks. He has a standard square face, and his posture and behavior have a military temperament, which makes him easily spotted among a group of young people.

Qiu Luming knew his mother very well. She was so eager that she must have set her eyes on Fei Yuanhang. She felt that she had to act first to get such a high-quality and popular son-in-law candidate.

He Manshu is such a person. She has never known what inferiority is and feels that her four children are all worthy of the best people in the world. Even though she praises Liu Xiaomei and Fang Yuan endlessly, deep down she still feels that her two eldest sons have been wronged.

Coincidentally, Qiu Luming's self-confidence also remained at the stage when she was a student at Peking University. Therefore, whether facing Zhang Weijing and Sun Ning, Fang Yuan's family, or now Fei Yuanhang, she did not feel intimidated at all, and did not have the self-abasement that a junior high school graduate "should have".

He Manshu said, "Didn't your second sister-in-law's cousin come all the way from Beijing to attend the wedding? It's all thanks to Yuanhang for accompanying him these two days!"

Qiu Luming smiled and nodded, "Thank you so much, I'll have another drink later."

He Manshu cried out, covering her forehead, "Hey, no, I have to go to the bathroom to wash my face."

"What's wrong? Mom, I'm with you." Qiu Luming held his mother's arm.

"No, no." He Manshu pushed her away. "There are so many guests here. Please talk to them and don't neglect them."

Qiu Luming naturally understood her mother's intention, but she felt that her mother was being too deliberate. He was already an adult and had lived in Beijing for many years. How could he not have a girlfriend? Even if he didn't have one, he would have to go back and find one in Beijing.

But when she looked at the fine lines at the corners of her mother's eyes and the silver hair on her temples, she couldn't bear to disobey her immediately, so she had to sit next to Fei Yuanhang in her mother's seat.

Today, she entertained relatives and friends, but her father insisted that he was busy with a patient at work and refused to show up at the restaurant. Yesterday, her eldest brother and his family returned to Harbin, and her second brother was still in Yi City. Now, only she and her third brother were helping her mother to support the occasion.

You have been working for more than two years and you are already 22 years old. No matter how spoiled you are at home, no one treats you like a little girl outside.

Qiu Luming followed his mother's example, greeting and thanking the relatives and friends present, and carefully observing the guests at each table to avoid neglecting anyone.

After three rounds of drinks, most of the people were chatting in pairs. Third Brother and Zhang Weijing were drinking loudly with a few good middle school classmates. They drank the whole bottle, as if they were mortal enemies and would not stop until they drank the other person under the table.

Qiu Luming felt that her third brother's behavior at this time was extremely inconsistent with his usual temperament, but she had no way to do anything about this kind of thing, such as adapting to local customs. She went to each table, chatted with people she knew and didn't know, and drank a few beers.

When I returned to the main table, I saw Fei Yuanhang sitting alone on a chair, turning his cup boredly. Probably because no one else was leaving, he felt embarrassed to be the first to leave.

Qiu Luming inexplicably felt that he looked somewhat familiar. Upon careful consideration, he was actually somewhat similar to his father. Both had the hidden pride of an intellectual and the slight embarrassment of being unsocial.

She walked over and sat down, then made small talk and said, "Isn't my mom back yet?"

"Oh, not yet."

There was a bit of a lull in the conversation, and Qiu Luming felt that he had a responsibility to find a topic to talk about. "Oh, by the way, I borrowed Principal Fei's book and haven't returned it yet."

"Oh? What book?" Fei Yuanhang was very cooperative.

"A collection of stories by Chekhov."

"Oh, my dad is like this. He is so happy when someone borrows his Russian books." Fei Yuanhang seemed to have finally found a breakthrough point when talking about his father. "Among the three of us, none of us is a Russian language major. My dad is very sorry. In the past few days since I came back, he mentioned you several times, saying that you have a talent for languages ​​and should not be buried in the library."

"Principal Fei, you are too kind. I don't have any talent. I just want to get a diploma and a raise. It's good enough as long as the library is safe and stable." Qiu Luming drank some wine and spoke the truth.

"You are too modest. My father doesn't praise people easily."

Qiu Luming didn't want the topic to revolve around himself, so he changed the subject and asked, "So you're also studying Russian?"

"Yes, a few years ago, our middle school only had Russian classes, and only in recent years have we had English classes. I was able to get into Beihang University because of my Russian skills."

"Don't be so modest. You are still a role model for middle school students."

"Haha, it's not worth mentioning. It wasn't until I went to university that I realized what it meant to be a place full of talented people. I'm just too ordinary."

"Look how well these two young people are chatting!" Section Chief Lu of the County Hospital's Medical Department is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She smiled and pointed at Qiu Luming and Fei Yuanhang and said to her colleagues, "They look so well-matched!"

Although it was noisy, Qiu Luming believed that Fei Yuanhang must have heard it. She didn't look at Chief Lu, but just smiled and said to Fei Yuanhang, "You can do whatever you want. I'll go see my mother first." Then she stood up.

But the drunk Zhang Weijing grabbed his arm and said, "Don't go, Yoyo, don't you introduce us?"

Sun Ning was sitting across the table, looking like he was enjoying the show.

Qiu Luming could only stand down, gently brushed away Zhang Weijing's hand, and introduced him to Fei Yuanhang. Zhang Weijing's tongue was so big that he sat down and talked about Beijing with Fei Yuanhang. Qiu Luming took the opportunity to get away and went outside to find his mother.

When I walked to the door, I could still hear Zhang Weijing's voice, "Me! Zhang Weijing! My brother! My real brother! Hehehe, you big fool, can't you see that the parents have chosen you!"

Then Fei Yuanhang said, "I know, I came back just for a blind date with her!"

Qiu Luming slipped and almost fell. The waiter came to mop the floor apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, someone spilled some wine just now."

Without even turning his head, Qiu Luming strode out of the restaurant. Seeing his mother sitting on the sofa in the lobby, he quickly walked over and complained, "You little old lady are really amazing! You left a whole room of people to me, and you're hiding here doing nothing!"

"How's it going?"

"What's going on?"

"People!"

"Who?"

"Tsk, Yuanhang, I see you two are having a good chat! What a rare good kid. Look at the family tradition of Principal Fei's family, and then look at Yuanhang's education and character. Man Jiayang won't be able to find a better guy than this!"

Qiu Luming frowned. Like many young people nowadays, she did not like blind dates. It seemed that even if two people who met through a blind date finally got married, they did not seem to have real feelings for each other.

"Mom! I've already told you to wait until we graduate at the end of the year before we talk about it."

"It's already September, so another three or two months won't make a difference. I'm telling you, Principal Fei is particularly optimistic about you and even asked me if you have a date. It's just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival when you return from your long voyage, so you should get to know each other more and don't miss out."

"Teacher He!" Qiu Luming looked around and lowered his voice, "Even if Principal Fei thinks highly of me, do you think that I am really suitable for that person who has already obtained a doctorate, given the huge difference in academic qualifications?"

He Manshu was stunned for a moment, "Ah, I haven't really thought about this!"
