Bai Fumei in the 70’s

Feng Lian did not say anything when she saw her daughter came out. She called her to eat grapefruit and said, "It's really sweet."

"It's better than what your dad bought."

Zhao Lanxiang said silently in her heart, 'These grapefruits were bought at a high price by He Songbai. Of course, the quality was different.'

Feng Lian said, "This Xiaobai is really amazing, and he is a knowledgeable one. When he comes out, talk to him more."

Zhao Lanxiang was surprised, and asked, "Really, what should I say?"

Feng Lian shouted towards the room, "Xiao Bai, are you alright?"

Inside the room, He Songbai accidentally flicked the photo frame, and he randomly took a Marx's book from the shelf and walked out of the room.

After he went out, he only realized that he had taken the third chapter of "Das Kapital" in a hurry, and his head started to sweat. Although borrowing books was only an excuse, he had to play the role properly. He hadn't read the first chapter. In case anyone asked, he is finished.

Feng Lian asked He Songbai, "Just now I heard your remarks. Have you studied in the workers, peasants and soldiers university?"

Feng Lian's guess was not without a foothold. In her mind, he could be sent to other cities to buy vaccines, so he must be the animal control officer.

Such an important position is undoubtedly the most suitable for someone who had completed of workers, peasants, and soldiers university.

He Songbai didn't know what he had just said just now that made Feng Lian had this assumption.

He quietly put the third chapter of the book on the chair and put it in a hidden position.

He Songbai felt rather guilty, "No, I haven't been in it."

"Actually, I haven't gone to school even for a day."

Feng Lian was a little surprised. This boy's remarks were full of scholarly humor. He doesn't look uneducated.

He Songbai paused and said helplessly, "The things I just said are all taught by my grandma."

"Your grandmother is very smart. She must be an amazing cultural person." Feng Lian felt a little regretful, as if she just asked about someone's shortcomings.

She turned to other topics.

Zhao Lanxiang seemed to be reluctant to let the topic go. She didn't want him to just received her mother's contempt, so she asked rather unfairly, "Where did your grandmother go to school? Did she go to college?"

He Songbai's expression had a hint of forbearance, and he said with a light smile, "She went to college. New York University in Country M."12

He couldn't make a move by himself, but with his grandma, he would never lose.1

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate the fruit quietly. His rough thumb tore a grapefruit that his girlfriend had not peeled, little by little. 

Feng Lian suddenly choked while eating a grapefruit, and quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

She just thought it was a pity that he couldn't afford to go to school. The next moment he immediately turned into someone with a family background. Someone like Feng Lian, who self-proclaim to be an intellectual, couldn't help but admire him.

When He Songbai finished peeling fruits, he said, "It's almost time for dinner, I won't bother you anymore."

He quickly picked up the book and prepared to leave.

Feng Lian just talked about her interest, but the boy was about to leave. She was about to invite him to dinner together.

Zhao Lanxiang glared at her mother.

She noticed the book that He Songbai took out indiscriminately, and she couldn't help but sweat. If they get him to stay, it will really be a matter of time before he got found out. His faintly pressed lips also revealed his helplessness at the moment.

"If he go back late, he can't catch the bus. The bus in the New Year stops early!"

When Feng Lian heard it, she knew that she couldn't keep him.

She wanted to ask this young man to take care of her girl. Otherwise, she wouldn't entertain him so enthusiastically today.

Feng Lian wrapped a heavy bag of sausages for him to take away, but He Songbai refused to take it. She chased him all the way downstairs and said. "You can't eat anything delicious in the guest house. You can eat this after steaming it for ten minutes."

"And also......"

Feng Lian couldn't help but plead, "Niuniu has a stubborn temper and doesn't like to work."

"You......"

He Songbai heard her and knew what she meant in seconds. He nodded. In order to reassure Feng Lian, he took the sausage that he did not want to accept before.

"No problem."

Parents are all the same everywhere in the world. He Songbai carried this heavy bag of sausages and walked on the cold street with a warm heart.

When someone loves her, and he also feels warm.

Although He Songbai never remembered his own mother.4

...

The crackling sound of firecrackers sounded sparsely early in the morning. On the road during the New Year, a lot of red confetti were spread on the road.

Zhao Lanxiang's family had already had breakfast. After eating breakfast, Zhao Yongqing is well dressed and going to work.

Zhao Lanxiang wiped his hands with an ointment. His palms were cracked during the winter, although he did not work during the Spring Festival.

"Would you like to wear gloves?"

Zhao Yongqing glared at his daughter.

"Go! Take advantage of these few days to get in touch with your friends and classmates from before. After the Chinese New Year, you always stay at home and get moldy!

Zhao Lanxiang responded.

She tidied up and prepared to go to the guest house to find He Songbai. Unexpectedly, her dad had just left, and someone surprisingly came to her house.

Jiang Li wore a light brown cap and a big blue-indigo windbreaker, and a pair of windproof snow boots. She appeared very beautiful.

"What's the matter, you haven't seen me for a long time. You are so happy and become silly?"

Zhao Lanxiang shook her head.

Jiang Li said, "I didn't want to come to your house, but..." She coughed hard and controlling her surprise.

Her eyes were wide and round, "You used to tell me in the country, you have nothing to do with my brother."

"I still don't believe it."

"You are very good. My brother has completely changed his personality these days. Now he is fighting for you."

"Come with me quickly, he and Captain Gu are about to fall out."
