Chapter 235
The addition of a newlywed couple to the Little Red Mansion has had a definite impact on the lives of the others.
First of all, Prof. Dai has to move into Ms. Zhu’s bedroom – although it was originally his bedroom, it is now returned to its rightful owner.
Prof. Dai’s move is equivalent to vacating a room, which means that Su Chunjun will no longer have to sleep on the floor, and he can now share a room with Shi Wuwei.
When Mr. Su welcomed the new house, Yang Yuyan enthusiastically came over to help decorate the new home. She lent her a pot of flowers, a scented bag, a blanket, and two pillows, and then Mr. Su asked her to borrow a photo.
Ms. Yang ranted: “Bah, when I do not know what you boys take photos to do!” She chose a single winter photo and refused to give him a summer photo of her wearing a short-sleeved dress.
Mr. Su borrowed the photo, and when he saw it, he occasionally acted out of line, remembering Miss Yang’s laughter when she gave him the photo, as if she was right in front of his eyes, glaring at him angrily, which made Mr. Su even more incapable of acting on his own.
Secondly, Prof. Dai and Ms. Zhu were newly married, and their teaching life was usually very busy, so they went out together, ate together, and slept together, so they didn’t have any extra time to share with other people.
At breakfast one day, Ms. Yang realized that she had not seen Ms. Zhu for three days, and suddenly felt relieved, exclaiming to her sister, Ms. Yang Yucan, “It’s good that Mom doesn’t have time to care about us now.”
Although the two changed their surnames, and their classmates called them by their new names when they read the newspaper, they were not called by their first and last names, so their lives were not affected.
Yang Er Miss became Zhu Er Miss, Yang Yu Cicada became Dai Yu Cicada, and the two remained as usual.
Ms. Zhu sighed at the newspaper, “Our names look really interesting.”
Although different surnames seemed like they weren’t sisters in the same family, she felt that Zhu Yuyan and Dai Yucan were more like two sisters now, and were even closer than when their surnames were Yang, and she didn’t know where this odd thought came from.
“That’s because of mom’s relationship with Professor Dai, I guess.” Dai Yucicang has already become an adult, changing her mouth to call her father is a little awkward, fortunately Professor Dai doesn’t care, and Zhu Er Miss has long been quick to change her mouth to call her father, and she can’t call her a hundred or eighty times a day.
Zhu second miss: “all right, I called is equal to you called, I call a few more times, you do not need to call.”
Dai Yuchan: “Nonsense.”
Dai Yuchan secretly resolved that when this year’s New Year came, she would definitely change her name.
In the end, the marriage looked good, no conflicts, no arguments, no discord, everything looked good. Zhu Er Miss’s heart was foolishly tempted to tell Ms. Zhu that it had been a year since she and Mr. Su were engaged, so was it time to think about getting married? Yamamoto’s side of the last time through the wind want her to study in Japan, this period of time the Japanese teacher also began to non-stop say good things about Japan, in their mouths, Japan simply from beginning to end not a little bad, and said to her “you like Japan so much, do not you want to go to see her with their own eyes”.
Does Japan have Akihabara now? Without her to go to the hell oh.
Ms. Zhu’s heart felt like a cat scratching at the bottom of her heart, making her want to tell everyone about this great idea.
And after Ms. Zhu and Prof. Dai had gotten over their newlywed bonding period, they finally managed to spare a few moments to talk to everyone.
One day after dinner, Mr. Su had not yet returned, which rounded up to equal a meeting of only his own family – Shi Wuwei was in the kitchen washing pots and pans.
Professor Dai, a newcomer to the Zhu family, sat sipping tea, being a competent bijou, speaking only when Ms. Zhu needed it.
Zhu Yanshu shook Dai Yucan’s hand and began to play the emotional card, “Big sister, mom has always felt a little sorry for you. My affair with your biological father has caused you a great deal of hurt, I know, you adore him, it’s all my fault for not being able to pick a better man for you to be a father to.”
In Ms. Zhu’s thoughts, children are all born by herself, the man just provides a sperm, she is just a different man to give birth to the children, Yu Cicada and Yu Yan will still be her children. So the bad thing is just that Yang Xuhe is too bad, this is her own blindness can’t be helped, at that time, she really should have picked a better one, obviously that era of professors have almost returned to the country, if she can wait for another two years, and wait for the generation of professors to return to the country to the university to take a turn, then wouldn’t it be better?
The past is not traceable, but the future is still possible.
Now it’s like going round and round and back to the right path, just pretend that the past doesn’t exist, and life starts afresh from today.
Zhu Yan Shu blinked down two clear tears – this ability to cry at the drop of a hat has been with her since she was a child.
Dai Yu Cicada was also touched by this, and shed much more tears than Ms. Zhu, as she firmly said, “Mom, you should stop thinking about him, he’s just not a good person. You and us are the ones who have been victimized by him, forget about him.”
Zhu Yanshu: “Okay, I’ll forget about it, you forget about it too.”
Mother and daughter were holding hands, very touching.
The second lady Zhu sitting next to her would like to squeeze out two drops of tears, otherwise the mother and daughter trio will not cry and she will not look enough and group, but she just can’t squeeze it out, so she has to take the book to block her face.
Ms. Zhu continued: “I suddenly remarried with Mr. Dai and changed your name, I am not willing to let you have anything to do with Yang Xuhe, but I forgot to ask you what you think, this is my negligence as a mother. I apologize to you today, if you have any comments, it’s not too late for us to change it now.”
Dai Yu Cicada: “Mom, it’s okay, I don’t care what my last name is, the last name is actually not that important, what my last name is has nothing at all to do with what kind of person I want to be. It’s not the case that a person with the surname Aisin Gioro can become an emperor. My last name is Yang, or my last name is Dai, I am your daughter, Yan Yan’s sister, we are a family, there will be no difference because of our last names.”
As a college student at the forefront of the times, Dai Yu Cicada’s thoughts were the most advanced and the most reactionary. Otherwise, why does the current government say that college students are reactionary every day? It’s because college students never say anything good about them, and compared to the foolish people at the bottom, college students have always been justified in opposing them.
Although the family name represents a lot, for the new age college student Dai Yucchan, the name is just a code name for someone to call her, and no matter what others call her, she herself will not change, and is still the same as she was originally. From a philosophical point of view to think about the understanding can be more to appreciate her on this matter in the end how indifferent.
Although usually not visible, but Zhu Er Miss has so many whims to achieve success, Dai Yu Cicada never objected not to mention, but also always follow along, which can prove that their sisters’ thoughts are actually highly overlapping.
Changing her surname or calling Professor Dai’s father, Dai Yucchan did not oppose this matter from the bottom of her heart, she was just clumsy and needed time to get used to it.
After laying the groundwork, Ms. Zhu began to zoom in.
She gently asked Dai Yuchan what she thought of Shi Wuwei’s classmate.
–Shi Wuwei student is still brushing the dishes, Zhang Ma supervises the work, today Zhang Ma is responsible for keeping him in the kitchen.
Zhang Ma: “After you brush the dishes later, mop the floor again, look at all the water.”
Shi Wuwei: “Okay, I’ll do it later.”
In Ms. Dai’s brain, the Romantic component was probably only a few micrograms, so small that it could be ignored.
When she heard Ms. Zhu ask a question, she surprisingly didn’t think elsewhere, and really thought that Ms. Zhu was asking her about her evaluation of Shi Wuwei’s person.
She thought carefully for a moment and said sincerely, “I think that Mr. Shi is an upright and good person.”
Second Miss Zhu couldn’t help but put down the book blocking her face and interjected, “Sister, mom is asking if you like him!”
Ms. Zhu twisted her head and scolded her, “Shut up and let your sister speak.” Then she turned to Dai Yucan with a gentle face, “So do you like him?”
Dai Yu Cicada was calm with a hint of excitement, and a little bit of her face was slightly hot in the excitement, she calmly said, “I do have a little bit of a good feeling about him. I think he is an especially serious, caring, and idealistic good person.”
Zhu Er Miss sighed in her heart: very good, her sister’s vision hasn’t changed, loving and idealistic and all that.
Zhu Er Miss recalled her own conditions for choosing a spouse, which were: handsome, smart, capable, and good to her.
Or her own good.
Zhu Yanshu smiled and said, “I also think he’s a very good boy.” Although he doesn’t have money and isn’t handsome enough, but it’s okay, at least the person is smart and learns things quickly, he shouldn’t worry about work in the future, he can earn money and won’t go hungry.
Zhu Yanshu laid out half a day and finally asked her, “Then do you want to study abroad with him?”
Dai Yucan froze, and reflexively had to shake her head, “No …… mom, Shi Wuwei is going to study abroad?”
She looked at Zhu Yanshu and then turned to look at Professor Dai.
The new father, Prof. Dai, nodded at this time and said gently, “Little Cicada, I’ve always wanted Wuwei to study abroad for a while, and I’ve also been looking for connections to send him out. Recently, the situation has been getting worse and worse, and it just so happens that I contacted my former classmates in England and found a fleet of ships that can send Wuwei to England. But before he goes, we want to ask your opinion.”
Dai Yu Cicada was so bewildered that she didn’t know what to say. She seemed to have many things to say, but none of them could come out right now; this problem of having something in her heart but not knowing how to express it had always plagued her, and every time she came to this point, she wished extraordinarily that she could say whatever she had to say, just like Yan Yan did.
She wanted to say that what they and their classmates had been doing now was important, that everyone was active and motivated, that Shi Wuwei was an indispensable member of them, that everyone liked him, and that she was sure that Shi Wuwei liked being with everyone as well.
But she knew very well how much Prof. Dai wanted to send Shi Wuwei out. She knew that Shi Wuwei was a genius, he had managed to learn multiple languages in just a few years, if he had been given a better environment and more time, his achievements would have been more than that!
To build the beautiful motherland in their hearts in the future, they would need thousands of geniuses like Shi Wuwei.
He should be allowed to study abroad to learn advanced foreign science and technology.
Dai Yu Cicada quickly found the most rational answer out of her disorganized thoughts, “He should be allowed to go.”
Zhu Yanshu stroked this daughter’s hair, she was shocked to realize that she had neglected her eldest daughter for too long since Ma Tianbao, an obedient child didn’t mean that she could handle everything, it was most likely just that she was particularly good at enduring restraint. Yan Yan was smart and penetrating, what she needed was a helmsman and reins, while Xiao Cicada, what she needed was a calm and stable environment, because she was too good at enduring pain and restraining her needs, so if there was pain in her environment, then she would not cry out in bitterness even if she was suffering.
Therefore, in order to protect this child, she would have to put her in an environment without too many trials and tribulations, so that even if she couldn’t watch over her all the time in the future, she wouldn’t suffer in places she didn’t see.
Zhu Yan Shu smiled and said, ”I also think Wuwei should go. But we don’t feel comfortable with him going alone. You know Wuwei, he’s a bit of a fool, and foreign countries aren’t particularly good right now, he’s just smart and learns things quickly, but he’s actually not very well versed in all things human. If Mr. Su doesn’t have a job, he’d be the best candidate. Yan Yan is too young, I don’t trust her to go abroad. You’re usually very close to him, and Prof. Dai also said you’re serious and down-to-earth, so if you go together, Prof. Dai and I can both rest assured.”
