However, she still smiled sweetly in her heart, and then said proudly:
"Mom! The person I like is Zhong Yuejin, a poet. He is a great poet who has published poems in Poetry Magazine.
However, I have not met him yet, we have only communicated via correspondence once, and he wrote back to me.
In the letter he said that he would soon be transferred back to the capital to work as an editor at Poetry Magazine.
Then you will officially date me..."
Yes!
When she came back before the New Year, Gong Xue received a reply letter from Zhong Yuejin.
The emotions in the letter were so passionate that Gong Xue felt like she was in love.
During the ten days since she returned home, she was always looking forward to meeting Zhong Yuejin in person after returning to the capital.
Originally, she wanted to wait until she and Zhong Yuejin actually met and established a relationship before confessing the matter to her parents.
But she didn't expect that her mother would ask Aunt Guo to find a partner for her. Gong Xue said it in advance out of desperation.
However……
Gong Xue originally thought that this relationship, which she had actively pursued, would receive her mother's blessing.
Unexpectedly, when Gong's mother heard this, the joy on her face immediately fell, and anger crept up, and she immediately denied it:
"No way! Xiaoxue, how can you be so naive? You just exchanged a letter and haven't even met each other, and you...you say you like me?
Do you know whether the other person has good character and appearance?
You don't know anything about his family situation, so how come you...are in love with him?"
"Mom! Although I have never met Zhong Yuejin, I can feel his love for life from his poems. He must be a very good and kind person."
Faced with her mother's misunderstanding, Gong Xue tried to explain things to her.
But Guo Linxian on the side also interrupted and said: "Xiaoxue, it's not that Aunt Guo wants to hit you. Let's not talk about whether Zhong Yuejin lied to you or not, and whether he is a famous poet.
Even if that is the case, scholars have always been romantic since ancient times, and the most heartless people are also scholars.
You feel like you understand him and like him just by the poems he wrote.
In fact, this feeling is the biggest illusion. At most, you just like his poetry.
Liking poetry and liking the poet who wrote it are actually two different things.
You can't be impulsive and you must distinguish your own feelings.
Even if you really want to develop a relationship with him, you must remain rational and approach and understand him step by step..."
Because she had also watched Gong Xue grow up, Guo Linxian said so much, which was considered as fulfilling the obligation of an elder to remind her.
Although Gong Xue was a little in love and her mind was full of Zhong Yuejin who wrote to her, she had always admired and liked Guo Linxian, a beautiful aunt who was a talented young lady from Shanghai, since she was a child.
So, I thought carefully about her advice and felt that it made some sense.
She nodded and said to Guo Linxian: "Auntie Guo, Mom, don't worry. I will carefully distinguish it myself. I just told you that I have such a person I like.
As for whether to formally contact and date him, and whether to marry him in the future, it is still unknown!
After returning to the capital, I will carefully examine him..."
"That's right! Xiaoxue, don't blame me for what I said.
As the old saying goes, men are afraid of choosing the wrong career and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
A woman’s marriage is a gamble for her lifelong happiness.
You must open your eyes.”
Mother Gong gave Gong Xue a lot of instructions before reluctantly letting her go.
It was not until he saw his daughter getting on the bus to the train station that he smiled at Guo Linxian and said:
"Sister Guo, what you just said is right, few of those literati are reliable.
Since the Republic of China, how many famous writers and poets have not been romantic and abandoned their wives and children?"
"Yes! Marrying off a daughter is also a matter of luck..."
Speaking of this, Guo Linxian felt a little upset.
She thought of her daughter Liu Rumeng, who had been in the countryside for three years and was about to return to the city, but why did she... marry a farmer in a mountain village?
However, for the sake of her own face, she didn't dare to tell these words to Gong's mother, so she could only keep them in her heart.
Today's words of advice to Gong Xue also stimulated Guo Linxian herself to arrange for her daughter's divorce and return to the city as soon as possible.
…
On the other side, Gong Xue took a bus to the train station and boarded a train from Shanghai to Beijing.
Looking at the scenery passing by rapidly outside the window, Gong Xue's mood suddenly improved.
"Comrade Zhong Yuejin, I'm back in Beijing. I've been looking forward to meeting you when you return to Beijing, as you mentioned in your letter!"
With her chin supported by one hand, Gong Xue began to imagine what it would be like to meet her idol, the great poet Zhong Yuejin!
…
On the other side of the Linjiagou Production Brigade, after Lin Huowang was called back from the Feilong Breeding Base by Liu Rumeng, he was stared at by everyone and was forced to sit in the brigade office, holding a pen and continuing to write the first chapter of "Drawing Sword".
Lin Huowang, who had never been a professional writer in his previous life, now truly experienced the feeling of a writer being urged to update his work.
At the beginning, as soon as he finished writing a page, Liu Rumeng would immediately take it over, and everyone would read it eagerly.
In the end, everyone couldn't wait any longer, especially when they saw that Li Yunlong was finally sent into action by the brigade commander and decided to use earthwork to break through the firepower line of the Shanqi Battalion...
