As the saying goes, a man chases a woman over a mountain, and a woman chases a man across a veil. In fact, as long as the girl is attracted to this kind of thing, the rest of the matter will not be too difficult.
On a very "accidental" occasion, Hong Yanwen witnessed with his own eyes the scene in which Xu Chongya "accidentally dropped" a handkerchief and then "unknowingly" walked into the bookstore. He quickly picked up the thing and chased it in.
The two of them immediately started talking.
Later, it became easier. After the initial acquaintance, Xu Chongya told Hong Yanwen to "thank you", "Don't buy books from those people anymore. Thank you. Although these books cannot be sold to you according to regulations, I can lend them to you."
Look. Well, you can take whatever you want to read from here, as long as you don't tell others about it and don't lend the book to others."
This is equivalent to having a free library! Of course Hong Yanwen was overjoyed. He thanked him profusely on the spot. Then he borrowed and returned books.
He no longer has to stand outside when he comes again. Xu Chongya is very enthusiastic towards him. Not only does he give him tea to drink, but she also lets him sit on the sofa and slowly pick and read. The two of them will also chat together and exchange experiences about books.
.
And since he was so interesting, why would Hong Yanwen, a grown man, be too embarrassed to take advantage of her? It’s always right to invite someone to a restaurant or watch a movie, right? Little by little, the two of them came together.
Therefore, what Qian Zhongshu said in "The Besieged City" is quite reasonable. Books cannot be borrowed casually. If you borrow them, things will happen.
In short, they had similar interests and met each other late. Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya made up for each other's emotional emptiness and loneliness. After a few months, they developed from close friends and friends to lovers.
Just before Hong Yanwen was about to graduate, the two of them couldn't wait to announce their relationship to their families so that they could get their little red books in time for National Day.
Why is it so urgent? In fact, apart from the fact that this is a late love for Xu Chongya and she can't hold back the desire in her heart, she also has considerations for Hong Yanwen's future.
"First Normal University" is a normal college after all. After graduation, you will stay in the education department to work. Xu Chongya wanted to finalize the relationship with Hong Yanwen before the school assigned work. This gave her a reason to ask her father to marry her lover.
Arrange a better job.
As for Hong Yanwen, he is already twenty-five years old and there is a real need to start a family.
Although dating was not allowed in the university, he originally planned to consider personal issues after graduation. But now that God has arranged this fate, and Xu Chongya is a girl with excellent conditions in all aspects, there is nothing wrong with letting nature take its course.
?
The same thing applies to his career. He doesn't expect to rely on nepotism to get to the top. But firstly, he is afraid that refusing to live up to Xu Chongya's good intentions will make her sad. Secondly, he really doesn't have much interest in education. If he can use this relationship to change the environment, it will be the same.
It's what he wishes. Can't he just rely on his own efforts in the future?
In this way, the marriage of the two people was put on the agenda. They soon began to take practical actions for it.
If young men and women want to form a family, of course they must obtain the consent of their parents, so visiting each other's homes is a necessary procedure.
At this point, Xu Chongya asked Hong Yanwen to go to her house first. This was because she was most worried about her parents. She knew what they valued and was afraid that they would dislike Hong Yanwen's civilian status and family background.
Sure enough, when their daughter first introduced Hong Yanwen's family situation, Deputy District Chief Xu Bingquan and District Chief's wife Yu Wanfen were not happy.
In their view, since their daughter's conditions are so good, why should she be found in the family of a minister or deputy minister? If she is a soldier, she should at least be at the military district level. Only in this way can she be considered a good match.
Why did we reject so many outstanding cadres’ disciples in vain?
Even Xu Chongya's younger brother Xu Shaojun expressed his extreme disappointment in his sister.
He sneered and said that his sister was obviously lost. As proud as she was before, his buddies thought that her sister should at least be the mayor's wife. Now finding such a master would be an embarrassment to him as a younger brother.
Of course, Xu Chongya was very annoyed by her family's attitude.
To be honest, she doesn't pay much attention to the concept of family status. This is indeed influenced by novels and movies. With her young age, she can easily be deceived by the beautiful fairy tales fabricated by literary and artistic workers.
She is so naive that she doesn't understand what extra burdens people have to bear if they go against the objective laws.
However, she does not have any lofty ideals. She does not want to be the boss of her husband, nor does she have any ambition to be the mayor's wife or the minister's wife as Xu Shaojun said.
She is high-minded and picky, focusing more on whether her lover is handsome, chic, passionate, smart, and graceful.
Having a decent husband who can talk, read, and watch movies with her every day, and live a comfortable life that is superior to ordinary people, is her biggest ideal as a little woman.
Hong Yanwen could completely satisfy her with such a request. She had finally fallen in love with a man. She had already regarded Hong Yanwen as the only one in her life, so how could she give up so easily?
So she was not afraid to fight alone, argued hard to defend her love, and had an unprecedented fierce dispute with her family.
Xu Chongya's parents had never seen their daughter so stubborn. They had no choice but to compromise and agreed to meet Hong Yanwen first.
But to be honest, up until this point, they just wanted to deal with their daughter. They had even made up their mind to treat her lightly so that Hong Yanwen could retreat.
However, when they actually saw Hong Yanwen in person, they understood their daughter a little better.
It turned out that Hong Yanwen was personable, polite and considerate when he arrived. Because he was used to going in and out of his own big house, he didn't feel any discomfort in the four-bedroom apartment of the Xu family. He and Xu Bingquan imagined that ordinary people's children would be restrained and guilty if they had never seen the world.
It looks completely different.
Moreover, Hong Yanwen's offer was by no means shabby. Although the pastries and tea were ordinary, the Maotai liquor, Chinese cigarettes, and sea cucumbers from Bincheng "sponsored" by Hong Yanwu were considered heavy gifts even when visiting senior officials and ministers.
This made Yu Wanfen calm down at first sight. At least she liked Hong Yanwen's appearance and felt that he looked outstanding and matched well with her daughter.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. So Yu Wanfen changed her attitude first and served hot tea and fruits.
As for Xu Bingquan, he was sullen at first. But after a few words with Hong Yanwen, he was impressed by his knowledge.
He believed that Hong Yanwen was a man of real talent and learning, and he was also a college student. If he was well cultivated, he might not be unable to achieve great things.
As a result, he was tempted. After exchanging glances with his wife, he changed his approach. He asked the nanny at home to cook some delicious dishes and treated Hong Yanwen to a good meal.
