Hearing He's mother's urging to get married, Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and shook their heads.
The next two or three years were a mess, and it was not the right time to get married and have children.
"Mom, Dong Ge and I have a lot of things to do this year, and we may travel all over the country.
So we are not planning to get married this year, we will consider it next year, next year."
He's mother said unhappily, "You are all in your twenties now.
Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for staying together all day without any official status?
Nowadays, the control over relationships between men and women is getting stricter. It’s not good for you to go around without a license.”
Zhang Xudong thought about it and said to He's mother:
“Auntie, look at the situation here now, it’s impossible to hold a proper wedding.
But I don’t want to have a simple wedding like others do, with simple music and vows.
I didn't want to let Xiaojing down, so I thought that after we settled down, I would prepare a grand wedding in Hong Kong and marry Xiaojing home in a grand ceremony.
So don't worry, after this busy period, I will definitely make Xiaojing the happiest bride."
He's mother was overjoyed to see that Zhang Xudong was so considerate of her daughter.
This son-in-law is so thoughtful. He is both literary and martial, can make money, and is very kind to his daughter and his family.
The only thing Old He did right in his life was to secure this good son-in-law early on.
Otherwise, I don’t know whether my daughter can get married or not.
The next day, he and He Jingxian went to the department to find Director Hu and submitted an application for leave of absence.
Director Hu looked at their application and tried to persuade them to stay:
"Student Zhang, student He, you are both rare talents in the department. It's a shame to have you take a leave of absence like this.
I advise you to think carefully before deciding whether to take a leave of absence from school.
If you have any difficulties at home, please tell the department and we will definitely help you solve them if we can.”
Zhang Xudong sighed as he looked at the old scholar who was devoted to learning.
"Director Hu, you should take some time off to rest.
It would be even better if I could take a leave of absence or retire and return to my hometown in the countryside.
I’m afraid there won’t be a peaceful desk on campus in the future.
You, Professor Wang, and Professor Chen are wasting your time here. It would be better for you to return home and study quietly."
Director Hu was stunned after hearing Zhang Xudong's words and said:
"You're saying this because of what happened yesterday, right?
Don't worry, this is nothing serious and should be over soon.
We must believe in the organization, believe in our superiors, and more importantly, believe in ourselves.
As long as we stand upright, have a clear conscience, we will not be afraid of those monsters and demons.
As students, your primary task is to study.
Only by studying hard now and contributing to society in the future,
You are the ones who deserve the country’s efforts and cultivation.”
Zhang Xudong looked at Director Hu and sighed in his heart.
These old scholars today will not believe their own advice.
Let’s talk about it later. They are bound to suffer.
Zhang Xudong no longer thought about persuading Director Hu.
Director Hu did not approve Zhang Xudong's application for leave of absence, so he had to persuade him to take a half-month leave.
In fact, it’s okay to skip classes without asking for leave.
Everything will be in chaos in the future, so who will care whether you come to class or not?
They said goodbye to Director Hu and walked towards the classroom.
Along the way, there were groups of students debating, arguing and even pushing each other.
Zhang Xudong also discovered that some gangsters in society were mixed in the crowd, fanning the flames, fearing that chaos would not break out.
Yesterday's incident was obviously planned by someone.
When he arrived at the classroom door, he found that the classroom was more lively than a toad pit.
The two groups were arguing about who was right and who was wrong. They were arguing so fiercely that their faces were red and they were almost cursing at each other.
Several class leaders stood between the two groups and tried their best to dissuade them from having physical contact.
Zhang Xudong walked up to the podium with a frown, and slammed the table, which suddenly turned into a pile of waste wood.
The noisy classroom suddenly became quiet after the loud noise.
Those students who were full of high spirits and passion were frightened and felt humiliated.
They were about to lose their temper, but when they saw the person standing on the podium was Zhang Xudong with a gloomy face.
He Jingxian, who was standing at the door, was smiling at them with the corners of her mouth raised.
They shuddered, shrank their necks, squeezed their buttocks together, and didn't even dare to fart.
This couple is simply not human.
They are both tough guys who don't talk much, but they are very fierce when they fight.
If he gets ruthless, he can make you feel like you're in ecstasy and doubt your life, but he can still leave some evidence.
Our group of people can't beat them, and we're not as cunning as these two guys.
There isn't much to say about their family affairs, but every member of their family is either a martyr or a hero.
When you deal with others, you have to first check whether your hands and feet are clean.
Otherwise, you are not just betraying your father, you are betraying your ancestors.
Zhang Xudong took out a notebook from his jacket pocket, held it up and said:
“This little notebook says: If you don’t investigate an issue, your right to speak on it will be terminated.
We are all college students, so we should understand the meaning of this sentence, right?
Is there any point in you arguing about who is right and who is wrong here without any basis?
If you say someone is wrong, why don’t you investigate and collect evidence, then present the facts and reason to show where they are wrong?
