Two years later, Xu Jiazhen no longer lived in the home left to her by Xu Fugui, but moved to Nancheng with her children.
Arriving in Nancheng, Wang Xu found Xu Jiazhen's new home according to the address Zhang Fan gave him.
Xu Jiazhen is now a director of the Feminist Liberation Association and also serves as the chairman of the Tianjin Feminist Association. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the female representative of Tianjin.
In Wang Xu's mind, she should live in a mansion, wear a cheongsam, go to the upper class, and be a winner in life.
But when she saw her new home, Wang Xu found that the new home was still very shabby and not as good as the house left by the rich in the past.
Low walls, wooden doors with peeling paint, small courtyards, and dilapidated houses.
Wang Xu didn't knock on the door, but turned over and jumped into the yard in one step.
Xu Jiazhen was not at home, and neither was her daughter Qiuxia. There were clothes for others to wash hanging in the yard. When Wang Xu saw the dense bamboo poles, he naturally thought of Xu Jiazhen holding a wooden basin and sitting in the yard washing clothes.
.
"Why are you still washing clothes for others? Doesn't the Feminist Association pay wages?" Wang Xu's face was a little dark. In any case, Xu Jiazhen was the first woman to enter his heart. He hoped that she could live a better life.
Reaching out to open the door, Wang Xu walked into Xu Jiazhen's room.
There is very little furniture in the room, only a cabinet, two stools, and a sleeping earthen bed.
There is a mat on the earthen kang, two pairs of quilts on the mat, and a small dining table.
Wang Xu raised his head slightly. On the southeast corner of the wall, there were two letters of appointment and a black and white photo.
The letter of appointment appoints Xu Jiazhen as an officer of the Women's Association and the president of the Women's Rights Association.
The photo is amazing. It is a photo of Xu Jiazhen and Mrs. Song. In this era without PS, no one would think that the photo is fake.
Wang Xu sat on the mat and looked around the room, as if he had returned to his youthful days.
The first time I met Xu Jiazhen was in 1940. Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and there were several more five years in my life.
He has become a middle-aged man who is nearly 30 years old. Xu Jiazhen is about the same age as him. He is also in his twenties this year. Time is really ruthless.
"Hey!" Wang Xu lowered his head and found that there seemed to be something hidden under the mat in the corner.
I opened the mat and looked at it. There were dozens of IOUs underneath. The people who issued the IOUs were Zhang Dahua, Li Xiaomei, Yang Chunhua, and Zhang Yuxian.
The contents of the IOUs are also different, some are borrowing money, some are borrowing rice, and the amounts are also different.
Wang Xu made a rough calculation and found that the total amount of money and food loaned out was enough to build two small courtyards in the countryside.
"No wonder Xu Jiazhen's life is still difficult even though she has two jobs. All her money has been loaned out. Are these borrowers able to repay it?"
Wang Xu put the IOU back, walked to Xu Jiazhen's west wing, and looked at the rice vat placed in the corner.
The rice vats were separated by wooden boards. There were probably two vats of rice, and not much white flour, with the most being corn flour.
Dried salted fish were hung from the beams of the house. There were about a dozen small dried fish as thick as a finger.
Underneath the dried fish was a bench. On the bench were placed radishes, potatoes, and beans, not too much.
But the bacon hanging on the window put a little more smile on Wang Xu's face.
But when he got closer, he saw that the bacon had no trace of cutting at all. It was obvious that Xu Jiazhen was unwilling to eat it, and his only smile disappeared.
"What are you doing? I can't bear to eat or wear clothes. I've lent out all the money and food. I'm sick in the head!" Wang Xu complained in his heart. Before he could look at anything else, the sound of opening the door rang outside.
Wang Xu was startled when he heard the sound and hurriedly walked out.
When he caught his eye, Xu Jiazhen was coming in with a package in his arms. The two of them looked at each other and were speechless.
Snapped!!
The sound of the package falling to the ground broke the silence between the two.
Xu Jiazhen looked at him in disbelief, her chest heaving violently, and she stuttered: "You, didn't you go abroad? When did you come back?"
"I just came back and came to see you." Wang Xu took the initiative to walk over, picked up the package on the ground and stuffed it into Xu Jiazhen's hand: "I brought some braised pork, it's almost dark, you must not have eaten, we
Let’s eat together.”
Xu Jiazhen didn't speak, she just raised her head slightly and looked at him, saying nothing.
Although Wang Xu had gone through strong winds and waves, he didn't know why, but he was made uncomfortable by Xu Jiazhen's eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you recognize me?"
"You are still the same, you haven't changed at all." After Xu Jiazhen said this, she slowly lowered her head.
Wang Xu understood instantly that he would not grow old after drinking from the Fountain of Youth, but Xu Jiazhen did not have this ability.
The Republic of China is not modern. In modern times, women in their twenties and seventies will look old if they don't pay attention to maintenance. Needless to say, the living conditions in the Republic of China were even worse.
Xu Jiazhen has no cosmetics and usually has to wash people's clothes to make money. The traces of wind and frost are very obvious on her face.
Standing next to Wang Xu, who was as energetic as twenty-two-three, no one would believe him if he said it was his mother, and no one would object if he said he was his eldest sister.
"Look up and look at me" Wang Xu held Xu Jiazhen's arm and called her softly.
Xu Jiazhen slowly raised her head, and when she met Wang Xu's gaze, she lowered her head like a deer.
Wang Xu reached out his hand before she lowered her head and gently hooked her chin so that Xu Jiazhen could see his face.
The two of them looked at each other like this, and soon a red glow appeared on Xu Jiazhen's face, and she became nervous: "What are you doing!"
With a coquettish tone, Wang Xu was instantly transported back to the day when they first met.
At that time, Xu Jiazhen was so beautiful. She was in her twenties and thirties, wearing a light blue national uniform. She had the charm of a girl and a young woman, which is unforgettable.
Wang Xu didn't say anything. A bottle appeared in his hand and he whispered: "Be good, open your mouth."
"Don't make trouble." Xu Jiazhen was not a little girl after all. She was so embarrassed and angry by Wang Xu's actions that she leaned back and hid.
Wang Xu didn't wait for her to escape, then he hugged her waist and put the bottle to her mouth.
Feeling the cold touch on her lips, Xu Jiazhen closed her eyes resignedly and opened her mouth gently without asking what Wang Xu gave her to drink.
One bite, two bites, three bites
Soon after drinking a bottle of unknown liquid, Xu Jiazhen felt warm all over her body and felt an indescribable comfort.
"What is this?" Xu Jiazhen asked in confusion, licking the corner of her mouth.
"Concentrated core evolution fluid, an improved version of biotechnology, and added with life-extending potion, you deserve it!"
Wang Xu looked at Xu Jiazhen's face, and with the naked eye, Xu Jiazhen's skin became whiter and tenderer, and it looked less rough than before, as if she was several years younger.
The bigger change is in the hair. During the Republic of China, many people were malnourished and their hair looked dry and yellow.
After drinking this bottle of concentrated evolutionary fluid, Xu Jiazhen's cells became more energetic, and her life span was instantly increased by twenty years, as if she was back in grade 23 or 4 again.
"See for yourself." Wang Xu took out a mirror and put it into Xu Jiazhen's hand.
Xu Jiazhen didn't care at first, but when she saw herself in the mirror suddenly looking three or four years younger, she was shocked.
"This, me, you" Xu Jiazhen was a little incoherent and looked at herself in the mirror in disbelief.
Wang Xu walked up behind her, held her gently in his arms, and whispered: "If life is just like the first time we met, why is the autumn wind sad and painted with a fan?"
"How could this happen?" Xu Jiazhen still couldn't believe it was true, and was even more afraid that it was all an illusion.
Wang Xu is an illusion, becoming younger is also an illusion, everything is an illusion.
She couldn't help but close her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, for fear that when she opened her eyes again, everything would be back to the way it was before.
In the past, my beauty was old and I didn’t have a youthful appearance.
Xu Jiazhen opened her eyes, looked at Wang Xu who was still beside her, and whispered: "There is no you either."
"Ouch!" As soon as the words "No you" came out of her mouth, Xu Jiazhen felt her body light up and was picked up directly.
Xu Jiazhen struggled, slapped Wang Xu on the chest, and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"If life is just like the first meeting, I want to sleep with you the first time I see you. You bring back my memories. What do you think I want to do?"
"Let go, you, woo woo woo"
Since life is a game, why do you have so many regrets?
When he was young and thin, Wang Xu believed that love meant letting go and not being like a beast.
Now that so many years have passed, when I look back on my thoughts at that time, I feel worse than a beast.
