Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Update (Revised)
The department quickly re-transcribed the commendation letter and posted it on the bulletin board. People in other classes were only surprised that the Economics Department actually recruited such a powerful student this year, but the people in Class 1 and Class 2 of the Political Economy Department were all dumbfounded.
Especially the people in Class 1. You Yonghua mentioned Shen Moer's bravery in the class meeting before, but he said that Shen Moer assisted the police in solving the case. Now that everyone has read the commendation letter, they know that it is not about assisting in solving the case. It is not an exaggeration for this trafficker to say that it was Shen Moer who caught the man.
Four traffickers!
Two of the women are kind and very deceptive, and the two men are tall and strong, fierce and strong men.
Just by looking at the description of the human traffickers by the public security organs, one can guess how dangerous the situation was at that time.
The key point is that Shen Moer looked so thin.
The people in the political economy class crowded in front of the propaganda column. Lu Junjie read the commendation letter in front of him with great emotion. Others cheered and praised from time to time. Some of them were so shy that they ran to Shen Moer to clasp their fists and bow to express their admiration, which made Shen Moer laugh and cry.
I don't know which wicked person suggested to Yu Xiangnong that we should enrich the content of ideological and political studies. It is better to learn from the advanced people around us than from the advanced people in the newspaper. It just so happens that there is a letter of commendation posted on the propaganda column. They can conduct a unique on-site study based on the letter of commendation, and use the advanced deeds of the people around them to inspire everyone's determination and will to make progress.
Then, Yu Xiangnong, the seemingly very conservative "old cadre", actually agreed.
So there was this scene in front of us.
If the person in question was not herself, Shen Moer might also think that this way of learning is very novel and vivid, but because the person in question is herself, Shen Moer now even regrets running to expose You Yonghua and forcing him to take out the letter of commendation.
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 commendation written on red paper in front of her. She was angry and embarrassed, and her whole body was shaking slightly.
This was an honorary letter of commendation for Shen Moer, but for her it was a shameful stain that she wanted to bury forever.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
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, the roommate told her to go back to the dormitory and rest after the meeting.
Over there, Lu Junjie finally finished reading the commendation letter. 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 a reflection and submit it before next Friday.
Shen Moer: "..."
She 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. 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, and he would push the wheelchair for unimportant things. It happened that today, the couple were at home and could take care of the child by themselves, so Shen Shaoyuan took Zhou Pingan away.
The young couple had no choice but to take the child out for a walk by themselves.
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 just took the child to the department store.
Xiao Liangliang rarely sees her parents now. Shen Moer and Fu Mingze go out early and come back late. Sometimes the child has already fallen asleep when they come back at night, and the child is not awake when they leave in the morning.
It's rare for her parents to take her out to play. Although she always points to the road and looks for Shen Shaoyuan who takes care of her every day recently at the beginning, she soon forgets about it. She grabs Fu Mingze's clothes with her little hands and laughs. Occasionally, when Fu Mingze teases her, she will subconsciously call "papa".
After arriving at the department store, Shen Moer went straight to the fabric counter. Fu Mingze, holding the child, walked a little slower to avoid the crowd. Little 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."
He had just taken two steps when someone suddenly called him: "Fu Mingze?"
Fu Mingze turned his head and saw a long-haired woman in a beige tweed top looking at him in surprise not far from him.
"It's really you, Fu Mingze!"
The woman walked over quickly and covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the child in Fu Mingze's arms: "This, this is your child?!"
In fact, there was no need to ask, the answer was obvious.
The little girl in his arms looked too much like Fu Mingze, except for a pair of slightly round eyes. The eyebrows, nose, and mouth were just like they were printed from the same mold.
Fu Mingze frowned as he looked 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 remember me? We haven't seen each other 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 a prominent figure in the school. With his family background, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University or arrange a job 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 been sent to work in the countryside, she was sad and melancholy for a long time. She admired Fu Mingze very much, but when he was in school, he basically ignored other people except for 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 simply very happy.
But she didn't expect that he would be holding a child.
Fu Mingze's temper was not good. When he was in school, he was arrogant and looked down upon by ordinary people. He had never had any relationship with any girls. Jin Shanshan felt that a person like him would be even less likely to have any relationship with any lesbians 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 just replied indifferently: "Well, this is my child. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Although he and Jin Shanshan are classmates, their relationship is actually average. He recognized her not because he was impressed by her, but because he had a good memory and his brain reacted immediately when he saw her.
So even if they met again after not seeing each other for many years, Fu Mingze felt that saying hello was enough.
Jin Shanshan was a little hurt by Fu Mingze's indifferent attitude.
Although he has always been like this, the memories of not seeing each other for all these years always beautify some things. Jin Shanshan sometimes has the illusion that Fu Mingze was actually quite nice to her in the past.
This illusion was strangled by the other party the first time they met again.
Jin Shanshan subconsciously said: "I, I have something to do too. My dad and my cousin are ahead. I'm going to find them."
She walked faster than Fu Mingze, and said as she walked: "Fu Mingze, congratulations on your return. Goodbye."
After that, she walked quickly to the other side almost as if she was running away.
Fu Mingze walked towards the fabric counter. The little one in his arms looked at Jin Shanshan who was walking away curiously. The little hand patted Fu Mingze's face again and again, and he was saying "Ah ah ah papa ah ah" in his mouth.
Fu Mingze glanced at the little one in his arms. 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, it didn't hurt or itchy, 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 hand couldn't move. He looked at his father with his round black eyes, and his little mouth was shrunken, as if he was about to cry.
Fu Mingze was almost so angry that he laughed. He let her go and said, "You little rascal, you are as cunning as your mother."
Shen Moer didn't know that Fu Mingze was complaining to his daughter about her cunningness behind her back. After she arrived at the fabric counter, she asked the salesperson to take out a few rolls of comfortable and breathable cotton fabrics, and picked out a few yards of each of the 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 duck-shell blue satin fabric inside. 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, Shen Moer had already picked out a stack of fabrics. Fu Mingze said hurriedly, "I brought money, it's in my pants pocket."
Shen Moer looked at him and said, "I brought my own money."
Fu Mingze choked, and sure enough, he saw her take out a stack of bills from her pocket. Thinking of where these bills came from, Fu Mingze's expression suddenly became a little complicated.
After the start of school, the intense military training and study life made him almost forget about this matter. When he occasionally thought about it, he even suspected that what happened that day was a dream or his own hallucination.
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 every time they talk about money, they still feel a little awkward. After
buying the fabric, the family of three went shopping at the ready-made clothing counter. Shen Moer didn't want to buy clothes, but wanted to see what kind of clothes were sold in the department stores in the capital.
However, as soon as she walked to the ready-made clothing counter, Shen Moer saw Guo Qi standing in front of the leather shoe 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 look 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 before.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Mingze noticed her gaze, looked in the direction, frowned, and quickly recognized: "That person is Guo Qi from your class?"
Fu Mingze knew the names of everyone in the political economy class, and even basically everyone's name could be matched with a specific person.
He deliberately memorized it, and he also consciously observed it during military training, so no matter what Shen Moer told him about the class, he could easily match the person.
Shen Moer nodded and frowned and said, "It's not strange to meet him, but the strange thing is that I always feel that the person next to him seems a little familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere."
Fu Mingze took a look and didn't see anything special.
Shen Moer looked at him for a few times 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 to be much brighter, and the styles 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 difference was very obvious.
Paul often joked that China was a fashion desert, and almost everyone wore the same style of clothes without any creativity.
Shen Moer thought he was talking without thinking. China has a large population and its 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 to ask Paul to study Chinese history carefully and not be arrogant.
After looking at the clothes, Shen Moer suggested going to the pastry counter, where she weighed a large bag of cakes and bought some packaged biscuits.
After buying them and walking out, Fu Mingze suddenly stopped and called out "Moer". Shen Moer turned her head to look at him and saw him staring thoughtfully at a few people not far ahead. She looked and saw that it was Guo Qi who she had just seen at the ready-made clothing counter.
Beside him, besides the middle-aged man she had just seen, there was also a young woman in a beige tweed coat. The three of them were walking and chatting, talking and laughing.
Shen Moer looked at Fu Mingze in surprise, thinking that even if Guo Qi was in front, they didn't have to avoid him, after all, she did everything openly.
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 woman is my high school classmate Jin Shanshan, I just ran into her."
Shen Moer raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting for him to continue.
She thought to herself, it can't be some childhood sweetheart or something?
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 far as I can remember, works at Capital University."
Shen Moer frowned and quickly understood what Fu Mingze meant.
His classmate is Jin Shanshan, and 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 letter after the exams, Liu Yinshuang had muttered many times, saying that she must go to the post office from time to time and often go to ask if there is any letter for her. Even if there is no letter, the postman can be familiar with you and your name, so that you don’t have to worry about someone else picking up the notification letter when it arrives.
Shen Moer heard it at the time, and was afraid that such a thing would really happen in the future, or it would happen at this time and be discovered later.
Fu Mingze also heard it, but he didn’t believe what Liu Yinshuang said before.
At that time, the couple also discussed this matter. Even though Fu Mingze didn’t believe Liu Yinshuang’s weird words, he had to admit that the situation Liu Yinshuang said was still possible.
They had discussed it, and Shen Moer had even suggested to the county that the process of sending admission notices should be strictly enforced, so she was deeply impressed by this.
As for Guo Qi, Shen Moer had also mentioned it at home, including that he was appointed class monitor by the counselor despite his lack of qualifications, that he had little ability but was always the leader in everything, that he was admitted to Capital University with high scores but sometimes his words were incoherent... To be honest, the insistence on re-electing class committee members was not because everyone had to go against You Yonghua, but because everyone could see that Guo Qi was not good enough.
When they talked 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 was still an idle official, so he knew some things in the court.
Things like impersonation were actually more common in "ancient times" like Daliang, such as impersonating household registration, impersonating imperial examinations, impersonating favors, impersonating military service, and even impersonating pensions for fallen soldiers. Although
the court tried its best to eliminate these phenomena, there were still people who tried every means to gain benefits. Those
who could be admitted to Capital University were supposed to be the chosen ones, but Guo Qi sounded like a good-for-nothing, so Shen Shaoyuan said this.
At that time, everyone was just chatting about it and didn't take it too seriously, but when they suddenly met today, Fu Mingze felt it was strange and suddenly remembered what his father-in-law said at that time.
It's not that it's wrong to see that the cousins don't have the same surname, but various signs, vaguely, just fit this suspicion, making people can't help but associate it with it.
Shen Moer also felt it was strange, but 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 the mother's surname."
That is someone else's private matter.
This matter is not something they can come up with an answer to just by thinking about it. The two of them did not get entangled and put it aside tacitly.
"Forget it, let's go buy some more candy."
It was finally a weekend when everyone was not busy. After shopping, they went back to have lunch. In the afternoon, Shen Moer was going to take Xiao Liangliang to visit her grandparents.
In the past, it was impossible because the mountains were high and the waters were far away. Now everyone is in the capital. They usually live in the small courtyard for the convenience of going to school. If they don't take time to visit the elderly on weekends, it would really be inappropriate. The people
in Yongning Hutong are indeed always thinking about them. Even Fu Zhiyuan keeps saying when his granddaughter will come when he gets home from work.
My son is so old now, he can go anywhere he wants, and I can pretend that I have never given birth to him. But I can't do that with my granddaughter. She is so obedient and soft, and I don't know how many adults are busy over there. I don't know if she is taking good care of her, eating well, and wearing warm clothes.
It was better not to see her before, but since I saw the child, the little person has really made the whole Fu family worried.
So, there is no doubt that after arriving at No. 9 Courtyard that afternoon, little Liangliang was warmly welcomed by her great-grandfather who was finally no longer bedridden, her great-grandmother who quietly made two small underwear for her, her grandmother who bought her several sets of clothes in the department store, her grandfather who didn't know if she could eat but still bought her a lot of snacks, and her uncle who immediately threw his homework aside when he heard that she was coming.
The weekend only had one day off and it passed quickly.
On Monday, Shen Moer returned to school. During class, she saw Guo Qi sitting in the third row and looking a little listless. She couldn't help but observe him carefully.
He was quite serious in class and was always taking notes. I don't know how well he learned.
Shen Moer looked away after taking a few glances. This kind of unfounded speculation was only said among her family members. She would not mention it in school.
Even if Guo Qi has no organizational skills and is too self-righteous, these are not reasons for groundless speculation.
Thinking of this, Shen Moer quickly put the matter aside and began to study seriously.
The vacancy of the college entrance examination in eleven years made this class of students cherish the hard-won learning opportunity. After the military training, almost everyone studied hard, and Shen Moer was also moved by this atmosphere to be more focused.
Those things that happened at the beginning of the school year were like a drop of water falling into the lake, which caused ripples and soon disappeared.
