Chapter 133 Chapter 133 (Update)
As expected, the department quickly re-copied the letter of praise and posted it on the bulletin board. People in other classes were only surprised that the Economics Department had recruited such a talented student this year, but people in Class 1 and Class 2 of Political Economics were all dumbfounded.
Especially the people in Class 1. You Yonghua had mentioned Shen Moli's brave act in the class meeting before, but he was talking about Shen Moli assisting the police in solving the case. Now after reading the letter of commendation, everyone realized that it was not assisting in solving the case at all. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was Shen Moli who caught the human trafficker.
Four human traffickers!
Two of the women were kind in appearance and very deceptive, while the two men were both tall, strong and ruthless middle-aged men.
Just by looking at the public security authorities' description of the traffickers, one can guess how dangerous the situation was at the time.
The key point is that Shen Moer looks so thin.
The students of the Political Economy Class were crowded in front of the bulletin board. Lu Junjie read the letter of praise aloud with great emotion. Others cheered and praised from time to time. Some of them were even mischievous and ran to Shen Moli to clasp their fists and bow to express their admiration, which made Shen Moli laugh and cry.
I don't know which wicked person suggested this to Yu Xiangnong. Isn't it necessary to enrich the content of ideological and political studies? It is better to learn from the advanced people around you than to learn from the advanced people in the newspapers. It just so happens that there are letters of praise posted on the bulletin board. They can conduct an unconventional on-site study based on the letters of praise, and use the advanced deeds of people around them to inspire everyone's determination and will to forge ahead.
Then, Yu Xiangnong, the seemingly very conservative "old cadre", actually agreed.
So we have this scene before our eyes.
If she was not the person involved, Shen Moer might also feel that this way of learning is very novel and vivid, but because she was the person involved, Shen Moer now even regretted running to expose You Yonghua and forcing him to take out the letter of praise.
Shen Moer was surrounded by a group of people, with a look of despair on her face.
At the back of the crowd, Zhang Jiaojiao looked palely at the letter of praise written on red paper in front of her. She felt angry and embarrassed, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.
To Shen Moli, this was an honorable letter of commendation, but to her it was a stain of shame that she wanted to bury forever.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
The roommate standing next to her noticed that something was wrong with her and couldn't help asking.
Zhang Jiaojiao clenched her fists and forced a smile: "I kicked off the quilt last night and caught a cold."
After hearing this, her roommate told her to go back to the dormitory and rest after she finished.
Over there, Lu Junjie finally finished reading the letter of praise. Yu Xiangnong took the lead in applauding, and announced in the warm applause that this ideological and political study was successfully completed. Everyone was asked to write an experience report after returning and submit it before next Friday.
Shen Moer: “…”
She now even regretted voting for Yu Xiangnong as the branch secretary.
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Shen Moer and Fu Mingze had nothing to do for a rare occasion. They originally wanted to take Xiao Liangliang out for a walk as a family, but Shen Shaoyuan said that he had something to do at his publishing house.
Usually Shen Moer and Fu Mingze were not at home, so he would push the wheel for unimportant things. But today, the couple were both at home and could take care of the child themselves, so Shen Shaoyuan took Zhou Ping'an away.
The young couple had no choice but to go out shopping with their children.
You can't walk too far with a child. Shen Moer thought that when the weather gets warmer, she should prepare some spring and summer clothes, so she simply took the child to the department store.
Xiao Liangliang has very few opportunities to see his parents now. Chen Moer and Fu Mingze go out early and come back late. Sometimes the child is already asleep when they come back at night, and is still asleep when they leave in the morning.
It was rare for her parents to take her out to play. Although at the beginning she always pointed at the road, confusedly looking for Shen Shaoyuan who had taken care of her every day recently, she soon forgot about it and giggled while grabbing Fu Mingze's clothes with her little hands. Occasionally, when Fu Mingze teased her, she would subconsciously call "papa".
After arriving at the department store, Shen Moer went straight to the fabric counter. Fu Mingze held the child, avoiding the crowd and walked a little slower. Xiao Liangliang saw her mother walking away, and immediately pointed at Shen Moer's back anxiously: "Hey, mama——"
Fu Mingze glanced at the little guy and smiled: "Well, let's go find mom."
After taking two steps, someone suddenly called out, "Fu Mingze?"
Fu Mingze turned his head and saw a long-haired woman in a beige tweed shirt looking at him in surprise not far from him.
"It's really you, Fu Mingze!"
The woman walked over quickly, and when she saw the child in Fu Mingze's arms, she covered her mouth in surprise: "This, this is your child?!"
In fact, there is no need to ask, the answer is obvious.
The little girl in his arms looked too much like Fu Mingze, except for a pair of slightly round eyes. Her eyebrows, nose, and mouth looked exactly like they were printed from the same mold.
Fu Mingze frowned at the person in front of him: "Jin Shanshan?"
Jin Shanshan nodded heavily, her eyes full of joy: "It's me, Fu Mingze, do you still remember me? I haven't seen you for so many years. I heard that you went to be an educated youth. When did you come back? How, how come you have a child?"
Jin Shanshan and Fu Mingze were high school classmates. Fu Mingze was good-looking, good at studying, and had a good family background. He was the center of attention in school. Given his family background, it shouldn't have been too difficult for him to get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University or to arrange a job for him after graduating from high school. But somehow, he signed up to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth.
When Jin Shanshan heard that Fu Mingze had gone to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, she was sad and melancholy for a long time. She admired Fu Mingze very much, but when he was in school, he basically ignored everyone except a few male classmates he was good friends with.
When they met again many years later, Jin Shanshan was actually afraid that he would ask "Who are you?". The moment she heard him call out her name accurately, Jin Shanshan was so happy.
I just didn't expect him to be holding a child.
Fu Mingze's temper is not good. When he was in school, he was arrogant and looked down upon by ordinary people. He had never had any involvement with any girls. Jin Shanshan felt that a man like him would be even less likely to have any involvement with any female comrades after going to the countryside.
She even felt that the fact that Fu Mingze was holding a child was unreal.
Jin Shanshan asked a series of questions, and Fu Mingze only replied calmly: "Well, this is my child. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Although he and Jin Shanshan are classmates, they actually have an average relationship. The reason he recognized her was not because he was impressed by her, but because he has a good memory and his brain reacts immediately when he sees her.
So even if they met again after not seeing each other for many years, Fu Mingze felt that just saying hello was enough.
Jin Shanshan was a little hurt by Fu Mingze's indifferent attitude.
Although he has actually always been like this, the memory always beautifies some things after not seeing each other for so many years. Jin Shanshan occasionally has the illusion that Fu Mingze was actually quite nice to her in the past.
This illusion was killed by the other party as soon as they met again.
Jin Shanshan said subconsciously: "I, I have something to do too. My dad and my cousin are ahead. I'm going to look for them."
She walked faster than Fu Mingze, saying as she walked: "Fu Mingze, congratulations on your return, goodbye."
After saying that, he walked quickly to the other side almost as if he was running away.
Fu Mingze walked towards the fabric counter. The little one in his arms looked at Jin Shanshan curiously as she walked away. His little hands slapped Fu Mingze's face again and again, and he made some inaudible sounds of "ah ah ah papa ah ah" in his mouth.
Fu Mingze glanced at the little one in his arms, and for some reason he had the illusion that the little guy was blaming him.
The little guy's hands were still patting his face, but he didn't have much strength and it didn't hurt, and he couldn't even make a sound.
Fu Mingze suddenly opened his mouth and gently bit the "rebellious" hand.
The little guy was stunned, as if he didn't understand why his hands couldn't move. He looked at his father with his round black eyes, and his little mouth pouted, looking like he was about to cry.
Fu Mingze was almost laughing out of anger, so he let her go and said, "You little rascal, you are as cunning as your mother."
Chen Moer had no idea that Fu Mingze was secretly complaining to his daughter about her cunningness. After she arrived at the fabric counter, she asked the salesperson to bring out a few rolls of comfortable and breathable cotton cloth, and picked out a few feet of each in plain patterns.
After all, it was a department store in the capital, and there were many kinds of fabrics. Shen Moer even saw a piece of duckshell green satin fabric in it. Her eyes lit up, and she asked the salesperson to pull out enough fabric to make two sets of clothes.
When Fu Mingze came here with Xiao Liangliang in his arms, Shen Moer had already picked out a stack of fabrics. Fu Mingze hurriedly said, "I brought money with me. It's in my trouser pocket."
Shen Moer glanced at him and said, "I brought my own money and tickets."
Fu Mingze choked and saw her take out a stack of banknotes from her pocket. Thinking about where these banknotes came from, Fu Mingze's expression suddenly became complicated.
The intense military training and study life after school started made him almost forget about the incident. When he occasionally thought about it, he even suspected that what happened that day was a dream or an illusion.
But since his wife started talking about it, she no longer hides anything in front of him. Details like this remind him all the time that everything he saw and heard that day was true.
The relationship between the two has eased recently, but whenever the issue of money comes up, there is still some awkwardness.
After buying the fabric, the family of three went to browse the ready-made wardrobe counters. Shen Moer didn't want to buy clothes, but wanted to see what styles of clothes were sold in the department stores in the capital.
However, as soon as she reached the ready-made wardrobe counter, Shen Moer saw Guo Qi standing in front of the leather shoes counter next door. He was standing with a middle-aged man and seemed to be preparing to buy leather shoes.
Shen Moer couldn't help but glance at the man next to Guo Qi. Logically, this man should be Guo Qi's elder, but Shen Moer always felt that this man looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Mingze noticed her gaze, looked in the direction, frowned, and quickly recognized her: "Is that person Guo Qi from your class?"
Fu Mingze knew the names of everyone in the political economy class, and almost everyone's name could be matched to a specific person.
He had made a deliberate note of it, and had also made conscious observations during military training, so no matter what Shen Moer told him about the class, he could easily match people up.
Shen Moer nodded, frowned and said: "It's not strange to meet him, but the strange thing is that the person next to him always feels a little familiar to me, as if I have seen him somewhere."
Fu Mingze took a look and didn't see anything special.
Shen Moer took a few glances and didn't care anymore. After all, who this person was had nothing to do with her.
She looked carefully at the ready-made clothes hanging behind the counter and found that the overall style of the clothes seemed much brighter and the designs were more refined and beautiful than in previous years. However, compared with the clothes in the foreign fashion magazines that Paul mailed to her, the gap was obvious.
Paul often jokes that China is a fashion desert, where almost everyone wears the same style of clothes without any creativity.
Shen Moer felt that he was talking without any concern. China has a large population and the production capacity cannot keep up. It is good enough for everyone to get some cloth to make clothes. Who cares about fashion?
She wrote back asking Paul to study Chinese history carefully and not to be so arrogant.
After looking at the clothes, Shen Moer suggested going to the pastry counter, and weighed a large bag of egg cakes at once, and also bought some packaged biscuits.
After buying the things and walking out, Fu Mingze suddenly stopped and called out "Moer". Shen Moer turned her head to look at him, and saw that he was staring thoughtfully at a few people not far in front of him. Following his gaze, she saw that it was Guo Qi whom she had just seen at the ready-made wardrobe counter.
In addition to the middle-aged man she had just seen, there was also a young woman in a beige tweed jacket beside him. The three of them were chatting and laughing as they walked.
Shen Moer looked at Fu Mingze strangely, thinking that even if Guo Qi was in front of them, they didn't have to avoid him. After all, everything she did was aboveboard.
But Fu Mingze stared at the backs of the three of them as they walked away, thought for a while with a serious expression, and said, "That girl is my high school classmate Jin Shanshan. I just ran into her."
Shen Moer raised her eyebrows slightly and waited for him to continue.
I thought, it can’t be that they are childhood sweethearts or something like that, right?
Fu Mingze didn't know what she was complaining about, and continued, "When we met just now, she said she came with her father and cousin."
Fu Mingze looked at Shen Moer and repeated: “My classmate is Jin Shanshan, and her last name is Jin.”
He frowned: "Her family, as I remember, worked at Capital University."
Shen Moer frowned and quickly understood what Fu Mingze meant.
His classmate is Jin Shanshan, so it seems that Guo Qi should be her cousin...but the problem is that Guo Qi's last name is Guo.
The two looked at each other and instantly knew what the other was thinking.
Liu Yinshuang, yes, Liu Yinshuang. When they were preparing for the exams and waiting for the notification letters after the exams, Liu Yinshuang had muttered many times that she must go to the post office from time to time and often ask if there were any letters for her. Even if there was no letter, the postman would be familiar with her and her name, so that she wouldn't have to worry about someone else claiming the notification letter when it was delivered.
Shen Moer heard it at that time, and was afraid that such a thing would really happen in the future, or such a thing would happen at this time and be discovered later.
Fu Mingze had also heard it, but he didn't really believe what Liu Yinshuang said before.
At that time, the couple had also discussed this matter. Even though Fu Mingze did not believe in Liu Yinshuang's weird words, he had to admit that the situation Liu Yinshuang described was still possible.
They had discussed it, and Shen Moer had even specifically suggested to the county that the process of delivering admission letters be strictly enforced, so she had a deep impression of this matter.
As for Guo Qi, Shen Moer also mentioned him at home, including that he was appointed class monitor by the counselor despite his insufficient qualifications, that he had limited abilities but was always the first to try, that he was admitted to Capital University with high scores but sometimes his words were incoherent...To be honest, insisting on re-electing class committee members did not mean that everyone had to go against You Yonghua. The truth was, everyone could see that Guo Qi was not good enough.
When they were chatting about it at the dinner table, Shen Shaoyuan even joked, "Isn't this guy a fake?"
Although Shen Shaoyuan was just an idle prince in Daliang, he at least had an idle job, so he knew some things in the court.
Things like impersonation were actually more common in "ancient times" like Daliang, where people used impersonators to register for household registration, take imperial examinations, receive royal favors, join the army, and even collect pensions for fallen soldiers.
Although the imperial court tried every means to eliminate these phenomena, there were always people who did everything they could to pursue their own interests.
Those who can be admitted to Capital University are supposed to be the chosen ones, but Guo Qi sounds like a good-for-nothing, so Shen Shaoyuan said this.
At that time, everyone was just chatting about it and no one took it too seriously, but when they suddenly met it today, Fu Mingze felt weird and suddenly remembered what his father-in-law said at that time.
It's not that I feel something is wrong when I see that cousins don't have the same surname, but various signs, vaguely appearing, just happen to fit this suspicion, and I can't help but make the connection.
Shen Moer also felt it was strange, but after thinking about it carefully, although there seemed to be signs, there was actually no real evidence, and: "It's hard to say whether we are suspecting someone of stealing the axe. After all, there are other possibilities, such as one of them taking his mother's surname."
That's their private matter.
This was not something they could figure out just by thinking about it, so the two of them did not dwell on it and tacitly let the matter go.
"Forget it, let's go buy some more candy."
It was finally a weekend when everyone was not busy. After shopping, she went back to have lunch. In the afternoon, Shen Moer also planned to take Xiao Liangliang to visit her grandparents.
In the past, there was no way because the mountains were high and the water was far away. Now everyone is in the capital. Usually they live in the small courtyard for the convenience of going to and from school. If they don’t take time to visit the elderly on weekends, it would really be inappropriate.
The people in Yongning Hutong were indeed always thinking about them. Even Fu Zhiyuan would keep talking about when his granddaughter would come over when he got home from get off work recently.
My son is so old now, he can go wherever he wants and I can pretend that I have never given birth to him. But it’s different for my granddaughter. She is so obedient and soft, and I don’t know whether I have taken good care of her, whether she has eaten well, and whether she is dressed warmly because the adults there are busy.
It would have been fine if they hadn’t seen the child before, but since they saw the child, that little person has really made the entire Fu family worried about him.
So, there is no doubt that when little friend Liangliang arrived at No. 9 Yard that afternoon, she was warmly welcomed by her great-grandfather who was finally no longer bedridden, her great-grandmother who quietly made two sets of small undergarments for her, her grandmother who bought her several sets of clothes from the department store, her grandfather who bought her a lot of snacks even though he didn't know if she could eat them, and her little uncle who immediately threw his homework aside when he heard she was coming.
The weekend was only one day off and it went by quickly.
On Monday, Shen Moer returned to school. During class, she saw Guo Qi sitting in the third row, looking a little listless, and couldn't help but observe him carefully.
He was quite serious in class and was taking notes all the time, but I don't know how well he learned.
Shen Moer glanced at it for a few seconds and then looked away. This kind of unfounded speculation was something she would only talk about among her family members, and she would not mention it at school.
Even if Guo Qi has no organizational skills and is too self-righteous, these are not reasons for unwarranted speculation.
Thinking of this, Shen Moer quickly put the matter aside and began to study seriously.
The absence of the college entrance examination for eleven years made this class of students cherish the hard-earned learning opportunity. After the military training, almost everyone studied hard, and Chen Moer was also driven by this atmosphere to be more focused.
The things that happened at the beginning of the school year were like a drop of water falling into the lake, causing ripples but soon disappearing.
