Chapter 267

In the evening, as soon as Su Chunjun came back, he was pulled inside by a solemn Zhu Yuyan, and as soon as the door of the room was closed, Mr. Su’s heart jumped two more times.

Zhu Yuyan said seriously, “I have something to tell you. Before I hear about this matter,I want to tell you that I didn’t tell you before not because I didn’t believe you, but because I had to keep it a secret from the others, and I didn’t tell anyone in order to hide it from them.”

Mr. Su nodded and sat on the sofa, and also pulled her to sit beside him as well, hugging the second young lady, he said, “Okay, you tell me.”

Well, he was satisfied now, nothing could surprise him.

But he was still surprised.

Not for Shi Wuwei and Dai Yu Cicada to go to study abroad, this matter has been mentioned many times before, see the meaning of the family is also will let them two go out, now finally ready to send them on the road.

He was surprised because Zhu Yuyan did not intend to study abroad together.

Moreover, she had already told Ms. Zhu. Mother and daughter had reached a consensus after “friendly” negotiations.

I won’t mention how much bloodshed there was in between. Su Chunjun recalled the way Ms. Zhu had looked at him over the past few days, and felt deeply that Ms. Zhu had been magnanimous in not poisoning his dinner.

He thought cautiously in his mind for a moment and said, “About studying abroad, I think you should reconsider. There is a big world out there, completely different from this world we grew up in. You should go out and have a look, and with your acumen, I think you’ll be able to gain many, many rewards.”

He thought that with Miss Zhu Er’s character, she should be curious about foreign countries, she had read so many foreign books and talked so eloquently about England, the United States, Japan and other developed countries, wouldn’t she want to go and see for herself?

He said, “It is still possible to go out now, although the governments of Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries are all wolves, it is obvious, but foreign people are not all as evil as their governments. There are still many good people among the people, but of course, there are also many bad people, similar to our own country; it is still important to be on guard, but there is no need to talk about the foreign countries.”

“You’re so smart, you’ll definitely be able to get into their school there.” He was confident in Miss Zhu Er’s mind.

After Mr. Su said so many heartfelt words from the bottom of his heart, Second Miss Zhu lightly said, “Oh, let’s talk about it later. I really don’t have any plans to go out now. Anyway, as long as there is peace later, there are still plenty of opportunities to go out.”

That would have to wait until there was peace.

Who knew where peace was?

Su Chunjun had a bit of selfishness in bringing up studying abroad. Now that the situation was bad, of course he wanted to send his favorite girl to a safe place.

When Miss Zhu balked, he took it as a sign that her thinking was immature, thinking that there would be no danger if the Japanese were pleasant to her. But he then dismissed the thought, for Zhu Yuyan’s previous words and actions had invariably indicated that she had always speculated about the Japanese with the utmost malice, and to say that she would regard them as good people would be ludicrous.

–Is it because of him that she won’t leave?

Su Chunjun’s heart bubbled up with flowers that were both happy and pungent at the same time.

Perhaps it wasn’t just because he was here, there was also Zhang Ma, Ms. Zhu, and Professor Dai who were also quite liked by Miss Zhu Er, a child who couldn’t stay away from her family, and refused to run away on her own for the sake of her family, which was very much like her.

But he also couldn’t help but think arrogantly that she would also have a few moments of not wanting to leave because of him.

But then along came the pain. The person he loved the most, the person he most hoped to be happy, if she stayed because of him and ended up in misfortune, how was he going to face it?

Su Chunjun turned a few times in his mind, and still thought that he should persuade her to study abroad.

However, this can be done without having to rush, slowly persuade, turning in circles.

Regardless of whether it is persuasion or deception, in short, it is still best to send her away.

Seeing that his expression was normal, as if he had already accepted the reality, Zhu Er Miss said to continue to speak: “Eldest sister doesn’t want to go, but we lied to her and said that we will all go in the future, so she agreed to do so. You go out in a while, don’t say anything.”

Su Chunjun: “It’s good for everyone to go.”

Zhu Er Miss rolls her eyes, “How can that be? It would be impossible for a substitute professor to leave the school, and my mom is definitely not willing to be a deserter now that she finally has her own career. Zhang Ma is so old, letting her go to a foreign country on a boat trip for more than a month, and having to relearn English and adapt to the British climate …… is too difficult for her. Besides, I don’t think she would be willing to leave my mom.”

Zhu Yuyan looked at him, “And you, are you willing to leave?”

Su Chunjun nodded frankly, “Of course I’m willing.”

Zhu Yuyan was almost bluffed by him!

Su Chunjun put his arm around her and said, “Mayor Feng is ready to run, but he certainly won’t inform me. He’s often sent me out these days, probably just packing his bags. Cai Wenhua is probably going to run along with him as well. With all of them running away, the government will become an empty shelf, and how long can I hold it together? When they’re gone, I’ll be gone too.”

He was self-conscious that these words were very reasonable, but Miss Zhu Er laughed coldly and looked at him askance, “Fine, I’d like to see if you’re going to leave. If you really intend to go, I’ll just knock my mom and the others out and tie them up to go with you, okay?”

Su Chunjun had the feeling that he had been seen through for a long time under such penetrating eyes, and he braced himself and quipped, “Second Miss is wise. Then when the time comes, I’ll join you in tying up people, you take the stick and I’ll take the rope.”

His playful words failed to get a compliment from Lord Taiza.

Afterward, Second Miss Zhu gave him all the remaining boat tickets and instructed him to take them and sell them for a good price. Hearing that this was all tricked by Professor Dai with Shi Wuwei these days really made Su Chunjun admire him! Professor Dai’s skill, whether in the officialdom or the shopping mall, will be invincible, but he has devoted himself to the school, teaching and educating people.

Su Chunjun took the tickets away and sold them for 5,000 dollars each, which is not enough to share.

Two of them he sold to Mrs. Shao at a friendly price.

Mayor Feng fled, and it looked like he only intended to take his wife with him, so Mrs. Shao could only fend for herself. However, Mayor Feng had found her a good husband before he left and was willing to take care of her even now, so he wasn’t really sorry for her.

But Mrs. Shao realized that her new husband was not trustworthy enough, and when she found out that Su Chunjun had some boat tickets, she immediately paid for two of them.

The wallet did not have enough dollars, Mrs. Shao took off her gold watch, emerald bracelet and diamond ring on the spot.

Su Chunjun thought that these things are not good to get rid of, so he only received her dollars: “You are too polite, according to reason I should not receive your money, but these tickets are also other people entrusted to me out of the hand, I am not good not to give people hard work fee.”

Mrs. Shao emptied her handbag, and now she only had these two tickets to Malaysia in her hand, her breath was unsteady with excitement, and her face was red like she had just touched herself with a Guo Shi Wu Yi.

“You are welcome. Mr. Su, it’s me who wants to thank you. You saved my life.” Mrs. Shao had tears in her eyes, “I know there are many people who look down on me, but you have never looked down on me, and now you are willing to save my life, I have never met any good people in my life, thank you.” She bowed deeply.

Su Chunjun indeed never looked down on Mrs. Shao, compared to her, any gentleman in this house is more shameless and shameless than her.

He said, “How can I be in a position to look down on people? Others have not spoken ill of me.” Since he had received the money, he had to give Mrs. Shao a few more words of advice, “This ticket is for boarding the ship, but it is not easy to get on board.”

Mrs. Shao held the two tickets tightly, “I know, I understand.”

The pier was now full of Japanese soldiers, and it certainly wasn’t easy to successfully board the ship.

Mrs. Shao knew in her heart that she couldn’t get on the ship just by herself, and this other ticket was the one she had prepared for her bodyguard.

However, she had no way to decide who to choose.

Lu Qifang this person is young, the bad is still limited, also has a few sincere to her. But he brought an old mom, Mrs. Shao can no longer change another ticket. He may not agree to letting Lu Qifang give up her mom and run away with her.

Moreover, Lu Qifang’s young master’s temperament is so heavy that she can’t carry it on her shoulders and hands, so if she really goes out, her ability to support her family still depends on her. When the time comes, will she sell herself to support them both? In the end, she should not become Du Shinniang again.

Mrs. Shao doesn’t dare to gamble on a man’s conscience.

Mrs. Shao is holding the boat ticket, but her heart is even more confused than when she didn’t have the ticket.

Autumn has become more intense in the school.

The fallen leaves are piled up on the paths and no one cleans them. The empty front of the building was silent without the students.

There are fewer and fewer students.

Students whose families are outside the country are the first to leave, and local students are also gradually leaving.

Most of the rural students, like Shi Wuwei, were persuaded by their teachers to leave the school and return to their hometowns.

But the school has not yet closed.

Prof. Dai said, “Even if there is only one student, I will teach as usual.”

The only remaining students were in the big classroom, all of them yellow and thin because of the poor food they had eaten lately.

But everyone brainstormed ways to enrich the table.

One professor, Wang, a medical professor who had returned from studying in Germany, aimed to be able to produce penicillin in his own country.

He had recently led his students to pick mushrooms in the school’s woods.

Zhu Yuyan also finally got to eat something other than chili peppers, and no matter how much she worried about poisonous mushrooms when she picked them, she ended up eating them in her stomach all right.

Now this Professor Wang also chopped down a pine tree and placed it in a damp and shady place on campus, saying that he wanted to use the pine tree to raise mushrooms.

Zhu Yuyan originally thought that this Prof. Wang was joking and couldn’t possibly succeed, but she actually did eat the flat mushrooms that grew out of the pine tree.

It would be very peculiar!

However, there was no way that one pine tree could feed the whole school, so Zhu Yuyan sent off most of the students in the foundation.

One boy came to school carrying a camera before he left. His German camera had been used to take pictures of tourists at the Autumn Festival, and almost all of them came out as ghost pictures, so dark that you could only see shadows and silhouettes. When the exposure was increased, the faces of the people in the photos were almost impossible to see.

However, no one minded such photos, many people came back to get the photos afterward, and it looked like they would treasure them.

He brought his camera to the school and emptied four rolls of film, taking pictures of every blade of grass and tree in the school, as well as Zhu Yuyan’s classmates, Principal Tang and some professors were also in the picture.

When he left, he wiped his tears and said to Zhu Yuyan: “Acting President, please don’t give up on the Foundation in the future. As long as the Foundation is still around, our ideals are not dashed.”

The real president was Principal Tang, but Zhu Yuyan was the one who had the final say in the Foundation’s usual affairs, so the students called her the acting president.

Zhu Yuyan: ‘I promise you.”

This male student took out another photo album, which he had taken in the school before, carefully selected and made into an album, wanting to give it to the school before he left.

He said, “Our school has not disappeared, I believe it will come back again one day.”

Zhu Yuyan hugged the album, “I also believe that there will be this day.”

She flipped through the album, the photos inside showed the school full of students, male and female students walking together, they attended classes in the same classroom, laughed and laughed under the same sky, labored and played together, this was the most enlightened and brightest memory of this era.

In the back there were many more photos from the Autumn Festival, black and whirring, with annotations written by this male student underneath; without his annotations, she wouldn’t have been able to recognize whether it was a human or a ghost, a man or a woman photographed in there. But at that time, the sky was so dark, the light was so bad, and it was also possible to be photographed like this.

Male student: “I washed them all out, couldn’t throw them away, so I pasted them all in.”

He pointed to one of the best pictures of a man and a woman and said, “This one is the best, but they didn’t come to pick it up.”

The man and woman in the photo were standing together, the man in a suit, one hand in his pocket, his head tilted slightly toward the lady, a smile on his face.

The woman is holding cotton candy with balloons and a pinwheel, smiling with pursed lips and bent eyes, anyone can see how happy she is.

This was like a pair of young lovers.

But Zhu Yuyan knew these two.

The male student, unaware of the evils of the world and with an innocent heart, said enviously, “This must be a pair of lovers, they look truthfully matched.”

Zhu Yuyan did not refute and agreed, “You’re right.”

Even if it was just the lovers in this one photo, it was just as beautiful.
