Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

When "Study Abroad" was still being serialized, Li Zhenyao wrote letters to Lou Yuyu, and they all sent them to Dazhong Daily.

And she never expected to receive a reply - Lou Yuyu probably received a lot of letters every day, he must be very busy, how could he have time to reply to her letter?

But even so, she wrote a lot of letters, and... she got a reply!

Mr. Lou Yuyu also said in the letter that he wanted to meet her!

The address Li Zhenyao wrote to Dazhong Daily was the address of the school, and the reply letter arrived yesterday, but she saw the letter when she went to school on Monday, and then she couldn't study with peace of mind.

Mr. Lou Yuyu left an address on the letter and asked her to write back to confirm a time, saying that she would come to her, but she felt that Mr. Lou Yuyu should not be bothered, and she could go to Mr. Lou Yuyu.

Li Zhenyao desperately wanted to see Lou Yuyu, so she pretended to have a stomachache and asked for leave from school and left the school.

Leaving the school with her, and her deskmate—she couldn't hide from her deskmate about receiving and reading letters, and her deskmate was also a reader of Mr. Lou Yuyu's novels, so they also followed.

The two called a rickshaw to Ping An Middle School.

"Zhenyao, is Mr. Lou Yuyu really in Ping'an Middle School?" Yang Yujun, Li Zhenyao's deskmate, asked Li Zhenyao.

"The address sir gave me is Ping An Middle School." Li Zhenyao said, "Sir should be a teacher of Ping An Middle School." The address on the letter was Ping An Middle School, and the recipient was Lou Yuyu.

"I've heard of Ping An Middle School, which was run by Wei Ting. Because of the low tuition fees, he can't pay the teachers high salaries...Mr. Lou Yuyu teaches here, it's really a noble character!" Yang Yujun's eyes sparkled.

"Wei Ting? You mean the one from the Wei family... who can spend money?" Li Zhenyao asked.Shanghai now has a large population, but not many rich people, so even if they don't know each other, they have heard of each other.

Although the Wei family is not in Shanghai, many of their businesses are in Shanghai. Everyone knows that Wei Ting is even more famous.

Of course, his reputation is not good, at least every time Li Zhenyao's father mentions him, he always calls him "prodigal son".

"Yes!" Yang Yujun said.

"I remember that he is young and has stayed abroad. Do you think...he is Lou Yuyu?" Li Zhenyao asked.

Yang Yujun was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's really possible! I heard that he has been refusing to get married because he misses his former wife."

"He is so affectionate and righteous!" Li Zhenyao was full of emotion.

Yang Yujun blushed a little; "In fact, he is not a prodigal, he has been doing practical things. I met him once, and that time he was with Mr. Qi."

"Yeah, he doesn't gamble or smoke opium, how can he be called a prodigal!" Li Zhenyao reached out to touch her bag, which contained a letter sent to her by Lou Yuyu.

The more the two girls talked, the more they felt that Lou Yuyu should be Wei Ting.Ping'an Middle School is not well-known, and the salary is also low. Lou Yuyu, who came back from overseas like this, can't be an ordinary middle school teacher in such a small school.

At this time, the two had already arrived at Ping An Middle School.

At the gate of Ping'an Middle School, there was still only a lame old man guarding the gate, and he was still holding Feng Xiaoya's child.

Li Zhenyao went over with the letter and said, "Hi old man, I'm here to find Lou Yuyu."

"Lou Yuyu? I haven't heard of it. Which class is it from?" asked the crippled old man who didn't know any words and never read books or newspapers.

"He should be a teacher..." Li Zhenyao said.

"We don't have a teacher with that name here," said the crippled old man.

"Let's find Wei Ting." Jun Yang Yu said.

"Look for Principal Wei! Principal Wei is inside!" The crippled old man opened the door and pointed to a place.

Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun went in immediately, and walked in the direction pointed by the lame old man.

The teacher's office in Ping'an Middle School was quite easy to find. Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun found it quickly and looked around the door.

"Who are you looking for?" Teacher Zhong was the first to notice these two little girls.

"We're looking for Mr. Wei." Jun Yang Yu said.

Wei Ting was writing an article when he heard this and raised his head: "Looking for me?"

Wei Ting is only in his 30s. He has always been pampered and well-maintained. There are almost no traces of age on his face. On the contrary, he is full of the charm of a mature man. Such a person is definitely very lethal to a little girl.

Both Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun blushed, "Mr. Wei..."

Whether it's Li Zhenyao or Yang Yujun, they have been reading Lou Yuyu's novels, and they have repeatedly discussed with each other, and they have given Lou Yuyu some chapters such as "affectionate" and "respect for women". Lou Yuyu is in their hearts. It's getting better and better.

They were at the age when their hearts were sprouting, so they had to fall in love with "Lou Yuyu".

If they hadn't been in contact with Lou Yuyu all this time, they would have forgotten about this sweetness when they found someone they really liked in the future, but they received Mu Qiong's letter, came to Ping'an Middle School, and met Wei Ting.

Wei Ting is handsome, he is a student of Mr. Qi, he has run many schools, and he insists on not marrying a wife for the sake of his wife who has been dead for many years...

The faces of the two of them became more and more red, and they faltered and didn't know what to say. They just felt that "Lou Yuyu" was exactly what they thought, full of knowledge and personable.

Seeing them like this, Wei Ting frowned: "Did my father ask you to come?"

Wei Ting didn't know Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun. Seeing these two seventeen or eighteen-year-old young girls coming to him, he immediately thought of his father.

His father wanted him to get married wholeheartedly, did he find him another marriage partner?or two? !

Wei Ting didn't know what to say anymore.

Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun were at a loss, but they still shook their heads: "No...you wrote me a letter..."

"I haven't written you a letter." Wei Ting's brows became tighter and tighter. Hearing this little girl say this, his first reaction was that his family used his hand to write a letter to the little girl.

Wei Ting has always been unwilling to get married, one is because he doesn't want to bear the pain of losing his wife, and the other is because he doesn't want to hurt others.

He will spend most of his time on education in the future. Not only will he be living in poverty, but he will definitely not have time to take care of his family. In this case, if he marries someone, won't he be harming others?

What's more, the wife his parents are looking for must have a heart for his parents, and he doesn't want to listen to the people next to him telling him to "do business properly".

"You wrote it, and I brought the letter." Li Zhenyao looked for the letter anxiously.

"I'm sure I didn't write it, little girl, go home quickly!" Wei Ting said, and while he was talking, Li Zhenyao saw Li Zhenyao take out a letter.

The words on the envelope were very familiar, and the name written was Lou Yuyu.

Wei Ting: "..."

"Mr. Wei?" Yang Yujun looked straight at Wei Ting with both eyes.

Wei Ting said: "I'm not Lou Yuyu, you're looking for the wrong person."

Both Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun froze.

Mu Qiong was also in the office, moving a domino stool and sitting at Sheng Chaohui's desk, discussing the Educational Monthly with Sheng Chaohui.

When Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun came in, he also saw it, and then, like Wei Ting, he thought it was Wei Ting's rotten peach blossoms.

Although Wei Ting moved out of the family, his parents did not give up the idea of ​​letting him marry a wife. Therefore, relatives of the Wei family often came to Wei Ting and persuaded Wei Ting to go back and marry his father.

I didn't expect to call all the little girls to their school now...

Mu Qiong was sighing, not wanting things to change suddenly - did they come to find him?

After Wei Ting said that he was not Lou Yuyu, both Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun were stunned.

When they came in, they looked at the people in the office, and it was obvious that only Wei Ting resembled Lou Yuyu the most!Isn't Wei Ting now... Following Wei Ting's gaze, they saw Sheng Chaohui.

Sheng Chaohui has been running out recently in order to run the monthly education magazine well. He is a little tanned and has acne. Both Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun are a little disappointed.

At this moment, Mu Qiong stood up and looked at Li Zhenyao who was holding the letter: "You are Li Zhenyao? Hello, I am Lou Yuyu."

Li Zhenyao was already in a daze.

They had seen Mu Qiong a long time ago, and they had been a student of Ping An Middle School, but he was Lou Yuyu?

The temperament and appearance in front of him are all extremely outstanding, but his age is clearly about the same as them!

"I'm Li Zhenyao... Are you really Lou Yuyu?" Li Zhenyao couldn't help asking.

"Yes." Mu Qiong said: "I received your letter, and after I learned that you took in many street children, I replied to you. I want to meet those children." Mu Qiong could feel that the people in the office The teacher's eyes fell on himself.If he doesn't explain, maybe they will misunderstand that he has thoughts about other girls, and write letters to express love...

"Why are you so young?" Yang Yujun blurted out.Although they knew that Wei Ting couldn't lie to them, they really couldn't believe it.

"Isn't it good to be young?" Mu Qiong touched his chin.

Of course it's good to be young, but it's a bit beyond their expectations... Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun looked at each other, unable to tell what it was like.

But one thing is for sure - the charming thoughts in their hearts have completely dissipated now.

Yang Yujun glanced at Wei Ting with some resentment, and said to Mu Qiong: "Of course it's good to be young! It's really admirable that you can write such a good work at such a young age."

Li Zhenyao also nodded: "Mr. Lou Yuyu, I really like your book!"

"Thank you for your attention." Mu Qiong said, he moved a stool for the two girls, had a brief chat with them, and asked about the situation of the street children.

"There are already 34 children living in that house, half of them are disabled, and some are sick. I don't know what to do." Li Zhenyao said.Seeing a doctor is very expensive, and the increasing number of children also makes her somewhat at a loss as to what to do—the money she raises from donations is dwindling at an extremely fast rate.

"Can you take me to see it?" Mu Qiong asked.

When Mu Qiong started writing "Wandering", he had the idea of ​​opening an orphanage.

But he knew that relying on his own ability alone, he would definitely not be able to drive—although he has some money, it is far from enough, and he has never been such a selfless person like Wei Ting, he always puts his own first .

Therefore, he wants to write "Wandering Notes" well, let more and more people pay attention to these children, and then persuade the government to open an orphanage.

He has actually written letters to the relevant government departments.

But what he didn't expect was that there was no response from the government, but Li Zhenyao took in some orphans.

"Of course!" Li Zhenyao said.

Mu Qiong thought for a while and said, "Shall we go there now?"

"Okay." Li Zhenyao said.She has already asked for leave anyway, and it is just right to go and see those children now.

After Li Zhenyao agreed, Mu Qiong first asked Sheng Chaohui to pick up Mu Changyu, then cleaned up the things on his desk, and said to Li Zhenyao, "Let's go."

Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun nodded and walked out.

After leaving the office, Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun were relieved to see Wei Ting no longer.

Yang Yujun was quite lively, and asked Mu Qiong, "Are you the teacher here?"

"Yes."

"I'm the same age as you, and I'm still studying, but you can be a teacher!" Yang Yujun admired.

Li Zhenyao was a little puzzled: "Mr. Lou Yuyu, aren't you a Geng student? Why are you so young?"

Mu Qiong chuckled lightly: "I never said that I am an overseas student under the Geng style."

That's true... Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun asked some more questions.

Mu Qiong answered one by one.Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun, in Mu Qiong's opinion, are people who are much younger than him. When talking to them, he is naturally very accommodating, but he is out of habit and respects people very much.

Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun immediately liked him.

But because of the misidentification before...they can't blush now.

Mu Qiong didn't know that the previous incident made him lose two peach blossoms. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After they walked for a while, they met a rickshaw. Mu Qiong stopped the driver and asked him to pull the two girls, and he followed behind.

After walking for a while, Mu Qiong got into the second rickshaw.

The rickshaw driver pulled them all the way to Shanghai.

Mu Qiong gave them the fare for the car, and gave them a little more to wait, then walked to Li Zhenyao's rented house with Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun.

"The smell here is a bit strong..." Li Zhenyao said shyly.

Yang Yujun had never been here before, and smelled this strange smell, and couldn't help retching twice, but Mu Qiong didn't show anything—the smell here is really bad, but it's not strong, and it's still tolerable of.

Mu Qiong said: "In fact, such a place is also good, so as not to be targeted."

Li Zhenyao, a little girl, really wants to open an orphanage in a place with a good location, fearing that those local hooligans will come to her house every day to beat the autumn breeze.

The three of them came to the gate of the house while talking.

Li Zhenyao asked her servants to invite an old woman with no relatives from the countryside to take care of these children, and now this old woman has come.

Of course, in this era when the average life expectancy is not necessarily 40 years old, the so-called old woman is actually a woman in her forties.

Although this woman is not very old, she looks weather-beaten and very old. She is carrying a baby on her back and holding another baby in her arms. When she sees Li Zhenyao, she smiles flatteringly: "Miss, You came!"

"Mother Wu, let me take a look at the children." Li Zhenyao looked at this woman, and looked at Mu Qiong helplessly: "After knowing that we don't take in children without parents, some people just threw the newborn children in our place. At the entrance of the courtyard, there are already two of them."

"You have worked hard." Mu Qiong said.He was not surprised by this situation at all.

In modern times, there are many abandoned babies. These days, there is no contraceptive method, and they are born when they are pregnant. The vast majority of people still prefer sons to daughters, and there are even more abandoned babies.

"It's not hard work, I didn't do anything, it's just... I don't know what to do in the future." Li Zhenyao said.

Mu Qiong thought for a while and said, "I'll help you find a way, and I will take good care of these children."
