Chapter 149
Leaving from Professor Zhu’s classroom, Fu Peixian’s mood could not be calmed for a long time.
Before this, although she has always wanted to do something for the country and the people, but there has been no direction, as if in front of her eyes are all fog, so that she does not know in the end which road is the most need for her, she can play the biggest role.
Under these circumstances, she went to the church hospital every week as a volunteer, she also went to the church as a volunteer, she also went to the Chinese Medicine Hall to give medicine, to try to help more poor people.
But whether it was the church hospital or the church, when she volunteered, she was only responsible for welcoming some foreigners who were well-dressed, because she was a university student and was good at English, so she could talk to those foreigners. She didn’t help the people who were really in need and who she wanted to help the most.
When she went to the traditional Chinese medicine store to give away her medicine, she had to be protected by her family. When she went to those places where the poor gathered to give away their clothes, food and medicine, she often encountered robbers and tailgaters, but thanks to her family’s protection, she was able to stay safe and sound.
She also wrote articles, want to wake up the sleeping masses, but her articles to the newspaper always failed, newspaper editors said her articles “not worth a penny”, but also wondered why she did not write a lady write about clothing and jewelry, celebrity gossip and anecdotes, or the wind and snow, this kind of article is better to publish.
Her parents can not pay to open a newspaper to help her print newspaper ah, Fu family is not so generous.
When she tried to get her family to do so, her cousin and her parents asked her, “What exactly is your career?”
She said, “I want to help people out there! I want to do my part for my country!”
Her parents laughed and said, “Oh, you want to do good deeds. The family has some money, so if you want to do good deeds, go ahead and do them. Every year, take out a few hundred dollars and buy some food and clothes to give to the poor, which is also doing good deeds.”
Her cousin also said to her, “I am then serving my country, with my flesh and blood. You are my wife and should share in all that I have. When I charge the enemy with my rifle, every bullet has a share of your credit on it.”
Her family was loving and her cousin was affectionate, but this wasn’t the career Fu Peixian wanted.
All she knew was that she couldn’t give up! They had already lost many comrades, and every day in this school, someone gave up, and perhaps the fervor of youth could only burn for a moment, not for a lifetime, and she feared that she would become cold at some point in the future.
Until today, it was as if she had finally found the place where she could exert her power!
Professor Zhu said that everyone should utilize his or her own strengths. Xiao Yang studied hard, actively read foreign writings, experienced them with her heart, and then introduced all these precious ideas to everyone.
She can also translate these foreign thoughts just like Mr. Yang!
She doesn’t know German, but she decided to start learning it today!
Also, that offer from Little Yang-san to teach people skills is very valuable!
She’d always wanted to help the poor, but she’d done nothing else but give them money and things. The old saying that it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, she had forgotten such a simple truth! Now foreign countries are developing rapidly, the country is lagging behind for a long time, in order to catch up with foreign countries, we need all Chinese people to work together. Opening factories and running industries is indeed a way out, but being a factory worker requires more knowledge and skills, and many people simply don’t have the opportunity to learn.
She could think of ways to help these people ah!
Fu Peixian returned home, Mrs. Fu saw her running in and quickly said, “Xianxian, look who’s here?”
A clean-cut and tall young man stood up, he was wearing a military uniform and said with a smile, “Xianxian, my mom called me to bring you some fresh lychees.”
There was a large basket of lychees with leaves on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Mrs. Fu smiled and said, “See how much your aunt remembers you. In a while, I’ll prepare some things, you and Zhiwu go to see your aunt and have dinner with her before coming back.” With that, Mrs. Fu stood up and said, “You guys sit and talk.”
Wang Zhiwu was Fu Peixian’s cousin. The Wang family and the Fu family used to live on the same street, the Fu family was a family of poetry and books, and the Wang family was also a family of poetry and books, the two families were door to door, and the two families had always had a very good relationship, as distant relatives were better than close neighbors.
After the Wang family moved away, the two families should have been disconnected, but coincidentally the Fu family son and the Wang family son even to go to Beijing to take the exams, the same hometown, but also was a close neighbor, they went on the road together, and it is a great coincidence that the two sons were successful in the exams, the clothes of honor to return.
However, in a few years, the Qing dynasty broke, Fu, Wang’s two families to see the court can not, but also when that one exam in the graduate does not count. Would have liked to move to become a county official or something, this time there is no need to mention, stay in their hometowns.
However, although the court can not, but Fu, Wang, the two princes or quite recognized that time the friendship of the same year, and then took advantage of the situation to tie a family, which is Fu Peixian’s aunt and uncle.
In Fu Peixian and Wang Zhiwu was born after this short period of more than ten years, the Chinese land is changing, the times are changing too fast, Fu and Wang’s elders are also very enlightened, and did not stick to the stereotypes, so Wang Zhiwu went to be a soldier, Fu Peixian went to college.
Originally Wang Zhiwu when this soldier, does not mean that the Wang family wants him to be the battlefield, but figure when the officer’s cheap, so that later to take care of the family. So Wang Zhiwu is already a small army commander, this is not only his efforts, more or thanks to the blessing of Brother Kong Fang.
Originally this intention is very reliable, after all, the Qing Dynasty how much money when the official ah, serious to go to war in addition to the bottom of the pawns, leading the troops are all serious officers, the kind of hereditary, the turn to pay Lang outside the official on the field.
The Wang family originally intended quite good, unexpectedly, this this this now this officer he is not reasonable! If you want to start the battle, then start the battle, fight the battle, why would you choose the son of the Wang family to go! He is the captain of the army is out of pocket ah, the Wang family is not a family of military officials ah!
When this happened, Wang’s parents cried and cried, pleading for help, and finally came up with the idea of marrying their son, which made people laugh and cry.
Wang Zhiwu himself is not afraid to go to war, but also really want to try his blade.
He and his cousin does not have male and female love, but is very worried about this social atmosphere, especially the university campus, students shout every day what freedom of love, freedom of marriage, he was afraid of Fu Peixian affected, and then cause any scandal, so now every day door to door, all kinds of gifts, alas, think of the future, he went thousands of miles, it is difficult to predict the death of life, the normal husband and wife still have to worry about his wife Pipa, not to mention that they were not emotionally attached. I can only hope that my cousin’s integrity and the Fu family’s tutelage.
He was uneasy, to Fu Peixian will be obedient, as if a good lover of knowledge and understanding, sincere people.
Fu Peixian and he already have the friendship of relatives, two young people also often meet, and now become an unmarried couple, the future to be accompanied by a lifetime, she is also willing to be more intimate with him.
In this way, Fu Peixian will be very happy to talk to Wang Zhiwu about the school, as well as her career.
Both the Fu and Wang families were happy to see their young people cultivate their relationship and always looked for opportunities for them.
After Mrs. Fu left, Fu Peixian sat on the sofa with Wang Zhiwu, and she couldn’t wait to tell him about the class.
Wang Zhiwu listened in his ears and became less fond of this Professor Zhu and Xiao Yang. These two women, instead of thinking about teaching their children, they are so restless in the room, it is really a bad world.
But he did not immediately refute Fu Peixian, but asked her, “Then how do you plan?”
Fu Peixian said, “I want to teach myself German first. Fellow student Xiao Yang is so good, I don’t dare to compare myself with her, but I can still make an effort to learn only one subject.”
Wang Zhiwu is very happy Fu Peixian self-study German, learning, that is not bored at home? If you don’t hang your head from a beam and prick the bone, how can you learn well? In this way, Fu Peixian can not run out.
He immediately agreed: “Good, I support you. In this way, I will go back to find some German books to send you, you learn well, don’t care what others say. I am very much in favor of you learning.”
Fu Peixian was touched and smiled. Even her parents thought that after she got married she should be a good daughter-in-law, be filial to her in-laws, and give birth to a grandson for the Wang family as soon as possible, so of course she shouldn’t go to school every day like when she was an unmarried girl, showing her face and taking classes with male students, this is definitely inappropriate ah.
Only Wang Zhiwu was on her side and helped her convince both parents.
He was an enlightened and advanced thinker, which was the most comforting thing about the marriage.
Fu Peixian said, “Also, Xiao Yang proposed that the people could be taught some skills in a targeted way, so that they could better find jobs and have more job opportunities. I think what she said makes sense, and I want to try it at home first.”
Wang Zhiwu then laughed and shook his head, “Xianxian, you can’t do this, the house will be in chaos. You’ve taught your subordinates, what if they refuse to work in our house? If everyone runs away, there will be no one to cook, no one to clean, no one to serve in the house.”
Fu Peixian froze for a moment, this was different from what she thought. Her heart felt like it was stuck in a piece and she said, “If people don’t want to work in our house, then we should let them go. We can hire someone else.”
Wang Zhiwu still shook his head, “You’re too naive, Xianxian. Reliable people are not that easy to hire. Besides, if you continue to teach the underlings you hire again, won’t they still run away? Underlings don’t have to learn skills, they just have to serve people.”
For the first time, Fu Peixian realized the difference between her and Wang Zhiwu, a difference so sudden that she could never have imagined it.
“But this is not right.” She said.
Wang Zhiwu said, “Xianxian, I support you in your studies, but you can’t hurt your own family.”
