Chapter 12
Peking University's holiday starts earlier than the military academy, so Weisheng moved his bedding and some valuables to the courtyard as soon as the holiday started.
The winter in Beijing is a bit cold, and the courtyard is a bit deserted, but for a person who doesn't like children, after being disturbed for a semester, he really enjoys this quietness and comfort.
Weisheng didn't like children, and he didn't like his tiny dorm room cluttered with diapers. He also didn't like naughty little boys running around, even touching his things. He didn't want to have to change clothes in bed or in a cold bathroom every time just to avoid them.
The three-year-old child has already started to remember things. It’s okay in winter, but tomorrow summer and even the next three years of college life... Weisheng has decided to move out of the dormitory next summer.
It's not just because there are two children in my dormitory, but also because there are many children in the entire girls' dormitory building who accompany their mothers to study.
This is a problem of the times. Weisheng understands it, but cannot fully accept it.
And for someone who has space, it is more convenient to be alone.
~
After the holidays, Weisheng would sleep in and continue working towards his financial aid/scholarship and his future graduate studies. Occasionally, he would wake up early and take his shopping bag to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some New Year's goods.
She bought ten pounds of pork, two chickens, and some side dishes, which she cut into pieces and stored in the freezer.
She also bought some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage, which are easy to store. However, Weisheng still cleaned up the empty flower pots on the terrace and planted some of her favorite vegetables.
Weisheng got up early that day and cooked himself a bowl of noodle soup for breakfast. After eating, he heard some noise outside the space. When he came out, he found that it was Cheng Feng who knocked on the door.
I put on my coat and went to open the door, and saw Cheng Feng outside with a lot of things.
A sack of firewood, a sack of Datong coal, and a sack of mixed potatoes and sweet potatoes.
In addition to these three sacks, there was also a backpack, a fish, and a chicken.
Weisheng blinked, and then blinked again, looking at Cheng Feng with some confusion.
She guessed that these things were brought to her, but she couldn't guess why Cheng Feng gave her so many things.
Could it be that he wanted to repay her kindness with some snacks, just like Ning Xiaomin?
You know what, Cheng Feng really thought so.
The dinner on the train and the lunch last time were both cooked by myself, but the food was bought by Weisheng.
It just so happened that when Cheng Feng came here last time, he felt that Weisheng didn't have much firewood and coal. After estimating it with his naked eyes, he felt that it was not enough. Thinking that he owed Weisheng two meals, he decided to help Weisheng get some firewood and coal.
The chicken was a New Year's gift for Weisheng, and the fish was the 'boiled fish' he remembered Weisheng mentioning a lot before. He was catching a train tonight, and it was just past noon, so he had just enough time to cook a meal.
Weisheng liked the large kang in the east room of the main house and would often sit there to read. Therefore, even if he spent more time in the space, he would always raise the ground dragon. Cheng Feng's sudden visit didn't let him notice anything.
After welcoming the person in and chatting for a while, Cheng Feng went to the kitchen to cook fish, while Weisheng was thinking about what to give Cheng Feng as a return gift.
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything. Finally, Weisheng took advantage of Cheng Feng cooking fish in the kitchen and went to the state-owned restaurant.
I spent 1.4 yuan to buy a pound of meat dumplings, and spent some more money to buy roast duck.
The dumplings were packed in an aluminum lunch box, and the roast duck was packed in a gift box from the store. After bringing all these things back, Weisheng boiled five eggs and put them in another smaller aluminum lunch box.
The food in the aluminum lunch box is for Cheng Feng to eat on the road, and the roast duck is a return gift to Cheng Feng.
By the way, Weisheng bought two roast ducks, one for Cheng Feng and one for himself.
…
Cheng Feng returned to the mountain city. When he returned to the capital from the mountain city, he specially brought Weisheng some specialties from the mountain city and Rongcheng.
Yes, it’s a mountain city.
Rongcheng was indeed Cheng Feng's hometown, but the Cheng family had settled in the mountain city since Cheng Feng's grandfather's generation. They opened a photo studio and lived a comfortable life, though not necessarily better off than in the upper class. Then, in 1969, the Cheng family became a target of public criticism due to the identity of their customers.
In order to protect Cheng Feng and his brothers and sisters, Cheng's mother had to draw a clear line with Cheng's father. After the divorce, she moved to Chengdu with her three children.
Later, Cheng Feng's sister took over Cheng's mother's job and stayed in Chengdu. Cheng Feng's brother, in order to stay in the city, adopted a childless old man as his godfather and took over the old man's job by providing him with care and support until his death. So, in the end, the family's spot in the rural program fell to Cheng Feng.
Cheng's father passed away in 1974, Cheng's mother passed away in 1975, and Cheng Feng went to the countryside in 1976.
When parents are alive, brothers and sisters are relatives. When parents are gone, brothers and sisters are relatives. Now that brothers and sisters have started their own families, they have become more distant from Cheng Feng. Although I was happy for Cheng Feng when I learned that he was admitted to university, there was no more.
After paying homage to his parents, Cheng Feng took care of some personal matters in Shancheng and Rongcheng, then bought some local specialties and took the train back to Beijing.
Kyoto University's winter break started on January 22, while the military academy's winter break started on February 1, but the date for returning to school was set on February 20.
By the way, the Spring Festival in 1979 was on February 17th.
Cheng Feng got off the train on February 18th, which means he spent the entire New Year on the train. Like before, he waited for the first bus at the train station and took it to Weisheng.
He left the local specialties he brought to Weisheng, and then Weisheng invited Cheng Feng to have a meal. Adhering to the principle of "you give a gift, I return a gift", Weisheng and Cheng Feng started a new model of friendship with each other.
Except for the first time, every time Cheng Feng came to see Wei Sheng, he would buy food in advance and then go to see Wei Sheng. And Wei Sheng would rack his brains to prepare a return gift for Cheng Feng every time.
Fortunately, Cheng Feng only has one day off a month, so they only meet once a month.
But over time, many things began to change. At first, Cheng Feng would simply cook Weisheng a meal, chat with him for a while, and then leave. Later, Cheng Feng would take on all the chores around the courtyard, like tiling the small storage room, cleaning the ash from the ceiling, repairing the electrical circuits, connecting the plumbing, and building the veranda.
By the way, Weisheng has four days of vacation a month, one of which is for her to go to Tianjin, so she may not stay in the courtyard for the remaining two days.
First, whenever he had some spare money, Weisheng would buy a house. Second, Weisheng would go shopping with Zhou Ying or other classmates.
So even if Cheng Feng has time, they can only meet about once a month.
But I have to say that Weisheng quite enjoys this frequency of meeting.

Time flies and it is his senior year. Unlike other students, Weisheng did not accept the assigned jobs, but applied for the mechanical manufacturing graduate examination at Kyoto University.
The examination subjects include politics, English, mathematics, mechanical principles, mechanical design, basic manufacturing technology, etc.
Not only did Weisheng already have a foundation in politics, English, and math, but he also kept up with them during his four years at university. He also spent several years self-studying the remaining mechanical manufacturing-related courses. Fortunately, the exams were only theoretical, not practical, otherwise Weisheng wouldn't have dared to aim so high.
Because he was good at taking exams, Weisheng was admitted to the graduate program in mechanical manufacturing.
Graduate students receive a higher stipend than undergraduates, totaling 46 yuan per month. Add to that a 3.3 yuan food allowance and a 5 yuan book allowance, and you'll receive a total of 54.3 yuan in "study allowance" each month.
At the postgraduate stage, it is not just about studying and taking exams. The tutors will lead them in practical operations and even take them to the workshop.
Weisheng studied mechanical manufacturing so that he would have a skill when he went to other time and space in the future. He was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the instructor's progress or remember the instructor's teaching content. Weisheng would bring his mobile phone to school every day, turn on the video function of his mobile phone before entering the classroom, and then put the phone in the pocket of his work jacket.
The work clothes made of denim were not only durable but also very wide and straight. By deliberately tampering with the pockets of the jacket, no one would notice the phone recording the video.
All the video teaching materials were organized in the form of PPT, and Weisheng also made special backups.
Compared with Weisheng who stayed in school to continue his studies, Cheng Feng and others accepted jobs after graduation.
Ning Xiaomin was assigned to teach at a high school, and Zhou Ying and He Qiulang were also assigned to different work units. Oh, the two broke up during their junior year, and now they are both living happily.
Cheng Feng joined the army as expected, starting at the rank of deputy company commander. However, after joining the army, Cheng Feng broke the window paper between him and Wei Sheng.
In this era, most people talk about love in a very implicit way, but Cheng Feng and Weisheng have a tacit understanding that does not require words, so at this moment, Cheng Feng wants to formally confirm the relationship with Weisheng.
The kind that reports marriage to the army.
At this moment, Cheng Feng looked at Weisheng, who was eating rice with shredded pork in fish-flavor sauce, and said nervously, "The army stipulates that family members must be deputy battalion commanders to accompany the troops. My current rank is not enough to accompany the troops..."
They got married first, and then Weisheng continued her graduate studies. After he arrived in the army, he worked hard and tried to get to a level that allowed his family to accompany him.
Cheng Feng’s idea is easy to understand, but he knows nothing about Weisheng’s situation.
Weisheng, who had originally had a good appetite, suddenly lost his appetite. He slowly put down his chopsticks, picked up the jasmine tea beside him and took a sip. Then he "confessed" to Cheng Feng:
"My mother has a mental illness, and there's a high probability that it will be passed on to me and my children. My brother got into trouble a few years ago and is still in jail.
My father favors boys over girls. He previously prevented me from taking the college entrance exam and even tried to arrange a marriage for me, even going so far as to… Many people know about this. He briefly explained the story of the three members of the Luo family to Cheng Feng, and finally, Weisheng looked directly at Cheng Feng, "Can my family conditions pass the political review?"
Cheng Feng: “…”
