Chapter 17 Chapter 17

In the following half a year, Ni Huanzhi and Miss Jin were happily immersed in the lover's life with the color and fragrance of roses smiling towards the future.One is still his teacher, and the other is practicing education; just like in the bright spring season, when the mind is at ease, with their heads up and their chests up, and they walk up the beautiful and prosperous road, they also feel that their bodies are full of vigorous energy. Angry, life is a topic worth playing. Everything in Huanzhi's school went according to the plan for the first half of the year.He no longer felt the germs of burnout and neglect growing among his students; he certainly never had them himself.As for the performance of the students in the first half of the year, he explained as follows: In the first half of the year, it seemed that they encountered a dark shadow, and that was because their expectations exceeded the limits of what was possible; The peasants asked them to act, but wanted them to look like superstars, so naturally they were only disappointed.But why is that the original intention?It's just that they need to experience various aspects of the human world, so that they can negotiate with them with their own mental strength, and gain some basic ability to stand in the world from it.That being the case, the important point is to accumulate gradually rather than see good results immediately.As long as you accumulate without interruption, the results will certainly be considerable.In other words, when the students who have received this kind of innovative education graduate, they must show unusual colors, which is enough to prove that the idea of ​​reform is not fantasy, and the efforts are not in vain.When thinking this way, Huanzhi felt that he had no regrets about his job, and his duty was to continue working hard.What's even more gratifying is that Jiang Bingru will always go forward bravely, and he has never encountered any black shadows at all; because the addition of the workshop is very smooth, there is no trouble like the farm in the first half of the year, and his plump face is even more radiant. brilliance.His brilliance added a lot of excitement and confidence to Huanzhi.

Miss Jin is new to children; because of her good grades, she was sent to try to teach the most difficult lower grades.Some terms, some methods, and some principles are always spinning in her mind; this does not disturb her, but enables her to treat children with an attitude of appreciation and experience, just like a well-educated artist.Affiliated elementary schools charge more than ordinary elementary schools, which is no different from a kind of screening. As a result, there are very few children who are overly shabby or even incomplete.Miss Jin looked at those little faces that were blushing in white, and the kind of cute look that couldn't speak clearly, and she just felt that all the praises for children were not lies; children are really flowers of human beings!She taught them to sing, and made up simple and interesting stories for them to listen to; Approved, still not at ease, and thought it over and over again, and then used it to implement it.Outside of regular class, she always leads a few beloved children around the playground on campus; when she sits down, the children climb onto her shoulders and play with her hair.Seeing this situation, her classmates playfully said to her: "Our sister Jin is born to be a good mother." Of course, her answer was a shy and soft spit, but she couldn't help feeling a little proud in her heart; "I hope to be such a good mother forever and educate this class of lovely children!" At the same time, she insisted on going to higher education and relying on her career to be self-reliant.

Two people devote themselves to their careers without feeling any fatigue; even if they are a little tired, there is still ten times the comfort of fatigue, and that is the correspondence that goes back and forth every three days.The wife of the dormitory supervisor of the female teacher saw the letter with "Ni Jian" written on the cover, and knew that most of it was a love letter, but the word "Ni Jian" was sterilized, so there was no need to open it; some female students were jealous Under his eyes, he handed the letter to Miss Jin.On Huanzhi's side, since Li Yigong left in the first half of the year, he has been living in a room alone; this is very suitable for meditation and worrying, and expressing his heart to the person he likes with a pen and paper.The delivery is entrusted to the ship, because the boatman is willing to deliver it as soon as it arrives because of the extra money for the wine, which is faster than the post.On a windy day, if the wind direction is just opposite to that of the outgoing or incoming letter, on the one hand, one has to wait with patience and restless mood.The two of them called this "heart-grinding homework"; but if it was mailed, it would also grind their hearts.

Everything is written in their letters.From the time when a man and woman are attracted to each other to finally falling in love, they will inevitably say some lingering words that are close to obsession and a bit nasty, but they are missing that part; the current correspondence just makes up for the gap, so that kind of words It takes up most of the correspondence.The marriage contract has been made, but both sides still take the trouble to prove how dedicated and sincere their love is, and the only opponent is the sacred and most ideal spouse that they can't have two.Then there was mutual telling of everything about the implementation of education, full of discussions and encouraging tones; Consider it an incomparable joy.And second is talking about the future.Ah, the future!What a sweet and impatient treasure it is; what a state it contains, sweet and rich enough to intoxicate, but how slow its steps are, like a snail on a wall, which never seems to move.Huanzhi's letter reveals this meaning especially a lot.Huanzhi was convinced that the literary reform movement had great significance, so what he wrote was of course still vernacular:

When I think of the two of us being one and never to be apart, my soul soars into the sky and smiles proudly to the earth.For then the greatest happiness will be ours, and the highest joy will fill our arms.Mr. Peizhang, do you think so too?I know from myself, and from your love, that you must think so. This time is not far away, it will be next spring.However, its allure is too great, so I only feel that I am far away from it, and there is still a difficult period like an ascetic monk to get close to it.How nice it would be to have a deep sleep, or a long dream, to fill up the difficult period, and wake up to face the happy joy!Every morning when I wake up, I always ask myself this way: "Has the time for happiness and joy come yet?" And knowing that it hasn't arrived yet, I can't help feeling disappointed.Please don't laugh at my stupidity, you should understand my heart!

Communications that go back and forth every three days are certainly not unsatisfactory.However, what can be written is tangible words, what cannot be written is intangible mood.When two people are together, they often feel satisfied as if they possess the whole world without using a word or an action; but if they are separated, if they want to use words to make up for the shortcomings, then write thousands of words. Not necessarily half as effective.Although I am not afraid to write letters, each letter is always a long and cumbersome section, but I long to stop this work at once.How can we stop this work immediately?

Actually, saying "the two of us" is unreasonable.we are one!Between one half and the other half, there is a kind of cohesive force stronger than the centripetal force acting there.This can explain the reason why the two of us are in the mood at this time... When writing about "cohesion", he thought very far away, very mysterious, and he thought of some elusive, almost absurd and glamorous scenes.Suddenly alert, he re-read the letter to see if there were any inappropriate words that would make the other party blush.No, not at all, just the word "adhesion".Such an innocuous but symbolic word is exactly what a young lover wants to express, so he often uses it.

Miss Jin still writes in classical Chinese.She said it was not easy to write vernacular; she somewhat believed in the popular saying that "only those who can write well in classical Chinese can write vernacular well", although Huanzhi refuted this statement in correspondence, she still believed it.She also hopes that the time to be together will come soon; but she speaks in a more subtle way, unlike Huanzhi, who is afraid that it will not be obvious and exhaustive. She is almost anxious about Huanzhi's expectations, and she comforts him in many ways, so She herself didn't seem in a hurry.For example, in a letter she had the following words:

...After the merger, listen to the evening blind date, the soul will be connected forever, without any troubles: this is solid and joyful, and it is more than a book in three days today, and it is too many words to be exhausted.The feeling of waiting is deep with you.I only think of the changing seasons, and I am as sick as the hub; from now until spring, there are only four moons and round ears.It is not very far away, which can be comforting.After the yellow flowers, Sushuang came, the harsh winter reigned, and the mountains and rivers were covered with snow; not for a moment, but Fangchun greeted people with a smile.Mr. Huan, time does not deceive people, fortunately, don't worry too much, and hurt your arms...

She added two circles next to the word "Fangchun". Of course, Huanzhi had to figure out what that meant.From these two circles, Huanzhi seems to see the double shadows of the two heads talking about each other, and also seems to see the two hearts beating in unison, so he is more eager for the time of the merger to come soon; That sent too much thought. In their correspondence, they described their life after the merger, how to engage in business, how to study on their own, and how to live, how to entertain, and how to deal with household chores, and they were not afraid to ask each other and discuss one by one.Huanzhi would like to have a clean, bright, lively and comfortable family; to reduce the so-called housework to the minimum, but not to do it casually, but to use the most appropriate handling method to make it twice the result with half the effort; the rest of the time is spent on reading Books and newspapers, receiving friends, doing some relaxing and interesting things, or going for a walk in an open and quiet place with bamboo streams.For these ideas, Miss Jin naturally agrees; she also added some specific plans, such as a small tea table should be prepared for receiving friends, so that refreshments can be arranged casually, informally, and a canvas stool used by painters for outdoor sketching should be brought with them when going out for a walk. When you come across a place with beautiful scenery, you can sit down and enjoy it carefully.Every plan is like a fairy tale, and the two of them get a lot of sweetness in the taste of imagination.There are also some anecdotes and anecdotes that are inconvenient to mention now, each secretly chewing in their hearts; both of them thought equally excitedly: "If only we can prove each other! If only we can prove each other!"

The snail-like time has come to the cold winter.As the time for marriage drew near, some leisurely questions were put on hold, because there were several practical problems in front of me.First, do you live in a city or a town?The problem was soon resolved.Jiang Bingru has already decided to ask Miss Jin to be a grade teacher in the school; although there is no precedent, Bingru has good reasons and believes that it is very appropriate for male students in high school to be taught by female teachers.Of course he lives in the town.It just so happened that not far from Bingru's home there were four inner rooms for rent; the front yard was very spacious, and there were two sweet-scented osmanthus trees taller than the eaves; the rent was not expensive, only three yuan.Huanzhi rented it out; when his mother welcomed him during the winter vacation, he began to arrange the new family; at that time, Miss Jin also graduated and came back, so of course she was the backbone of the design. Regarding the second question, which is the complexity of the wedding ceremony, the two of them have somewhat different opinions.Huanzhi thinks that marriage is just a matter for two people, as long as the two parties are purely in love, it is moral to be together.As for announcing to relatives and friends.Marriage under the supervision of relatives and friends is irrelevant and unnecessary.Those are all remnants of marriage ceremonies in the barbaric era, and the more thorough they are, the more vulgarized love and marriage will be.But he also does not advocate the absolute absence of ceremony.He said that the kindness of congratulations from relatives and friends cannot be let down.It might be a good idea to hold a tea party with the newly married couple as the host, so that everyone can see that two people who are so happy and loving appear in front of them like lotuses on the head; this is the most appropriate and meaningful way.But Miss Jin did not approve of the tea party ceremony.She didn't ridicule that it was too frugal to do so, and she didn't say that people might laugh at it, but said: ... The two of us agree with each other and get married. Unlike the plunderers of barbaric times, there is no marriage ceremony based on their legacy.However, the tea party is not the same as an ordinary pastime, and it seems to be less solemn.I don’t want to tell the gods at the beginning, but I swear to my relatives and friends; the first chanting of the scriptures is the combination, the two hearts will be fixed forever, and I will keep it for life; for mutual proof and self-planning, it is advisable to choose a more solemn ceremony to decorate this beginning and also…… Huanzhi couldn't help being a little dissatisfied after reading these sentences; mutual proof lies in mood and behavior, and Zixu is also an internal matter. Even if the ceremony is extremely solemn, what does it have to do with these?Women always love to dress up and try to be superficial; Miss Jin also has her same-sex weakness when it comes to arguing about marriage rituals.But this little dissatisfaction is just like a floating cloud in space, which is blown away by the wind of "enthusiasm" in an instant. "For her, you can obey anything; this is not flattery, it's just a tendency in your conscience. The wedding ceremony is a trivial thing. It's good not to have it, but it's not a thing to take it casually and pretend it doesn't exist." Not good? What’s more, Miss Jin has her own reasons for what she said; and she also clearly stated that she did not take the posthumous type of marriage ceremony in the barbaric era, which is very satisfactory.” Then Shubo and Bingru also expressed their opinions, Although the tea party is fresh and interesting, it does not seem to be very good after all; in the current so-called civilized marriage ceremony, the new couple bows to each other three times, the witnesses, introducers, and family members have their own positions, and the organ is used for music. This is very simple yet solemn , can be adopted.For this opinion, Miss Jin thought it was feasible, and Huanzhi agreed, so she decided to use a "civilized marriage" ceremony. After the winter vacation, Huanzhi hired a boat to pick up his mother. Two open boats carried all the furniture and followed behind.There was no wind, and the surface of the Wusong River was shining like blue crystals with light and warm sunshine; farmers in the village came out to scoop up river mud and go to the market, and there were almost countless small boats like gulls and birds.Huanzhi looked at both sides of the river, feeling very happy.He thought of the scene of coming to school for the first time in the cold night last year with strong winds.At that time, I was full of hope, like an explorer seeing a new land; although the river scenery was bleak, it never aroused melancholy.Now it is even more different; the career looks like a fact that has already been seen; and it is right in front of you, and you will fall into a happy and boundless married life; the bright tempo and the comfortable ride in front of you, don’t you hint at the future life? attitude?He looked at his mother's face excitedly, and saw that she was still looking worried, with many pitiful wrinkles carved on her forehead and cheeks; a ray of sadness pierced through her heart, and she cried out sadly like a child: "Mom!" There is nothing more to say. "Huh?" The mother who seldom opened her mouth only accepted this kind of Yu; she didn't understand what Huanzhi called her; she didn't understand what kind of state was waiting for her in the future. Outline it. Miss Kim is back.She and Huanzhi set up the new family with the feeling of a bird with newly grown wings holding a branch and building a nest in the shade.My favorite smile is like a well-grown flower, blooming everywhere in the four rooms.The utensils in the bedroom were bought by Miss Jin; it was not like the common practice that the man’s family gave the dowry and the woman’s family did the dowry, but they were bought and put together with Huanzhi’s old ones to form a display, just like two people. Join together and become a couple.She placed these things after very careful consideration; when she was satisfied, there was nothing to change, and then she smiled and went to arrange the second thing. On the day of the wedding ceremony, the weather was very sunny.Joyful sparrows are flying and chirping among the bamboo trees and fields.Eight or nine male and female guests came from the city one day earlier; colleagues and acquaintances in this town came to congratulate after the morning tea; there were also one or twenty students, and the eight in the middle were singing teams, preparing to sing "wedding songs" of.The usual greetings, praises, inquiries, and admiration filled the hall, which was red on three sides; followed by drinking and eating modestly and practically without giving in; several yellow dogs scurried between the legs of the guests, often The hero who labored those legs stopped his chopsticks and bent over to expel them. stretch!stretch!stretch!Three cannon shots were fired, and Huanzhi suddenly felt his body lighten; not only was it light, but it seemed to be gradually dissolving, like a cloud coming out of Xiuxiu.He looked at the people around him as if he was sitting on a tram in Shanghai and saw the people on both sides. Their faces were just a group of white and yellow marks, which flowed backward as if stirred by something.He had no thoughts at all, his mind was empty; only his heart was beating solitaryly and excitedly. The sound of cannons meant that the sedan chair to welcome Miss Jin had arrived.The distance is not far—that is, how many miles is it from Dongzha to Xizha? ——However, to use a sedan chair is also a solemn meaning.Wearing the same style of honey-coloured brocade squirrel jackets, two girls' high school students helped Miss Jin out of the sedan chair, applause suddenly sounded like torrential rain; at the same time, countless eyes focused on her pink veil, as if What is inside is not the girl who often passes by on the street during the winter and summer vacations, but a protagonist who appears mysteriously. The witness was Zhao Juren, who was invited by Uncle Shu, and Uncle Shu said that he was the only one who deserved it.According to the example, the married couple had to make a few speeches, which were derived from the pastor's speech in Christian wedding ceremonies; Congratulations instead (his pen seems to be getting healthier as he gets older).He has not forgotten the sonorous tune of reciting eight-part essays, squinting his presbyopic eyes, shaking his head, and reciting in a low and low voice. He suppressed the disturbance in the class; I can't tell what he is celebrating. Zhao Juren's congratulatory speech faltered again and again, and finally stopped.After holding back the laughter for a while, the laughter jumped out of everyone's throats, just like when a comedy scene in the theater has just finished.Then a singing team composed of eight students began to sing the "Wedding Song";The sound of the organ seems to be sinking in a very deep and low place; occasionally, one or two high notes are not willing to sink, and burst into people's ear tubes, but immediately disappear in the laughter. "The bride and groom are getting married!" The master of ceremonies sang loudly, solemnly and in a play. Whether Huanzhi was pushed by the bridesmaid or subconsciously controlled by him, he couldn't figure it out; in short, the fact was that he was facing inward, but now he was facing west.For the first time, he saw a bright red bunch in front of him, like a cloud, like an illusion, like oleanders in full bloom; this is his bride!This is his Jin Peizhang!One, two, three, he bowed, he bowed reverently as if facing a god; he didn't want bowing to be just a ritual, from the point of moving a part of the body, bowing was no different from the kneeling of the so-called barbaric ritual of. During the third bow, he saw the bride bowed even deeper than he, her body bent at a ninety-degree angle.When it returned to its original state, two bright stars shone inside the pink veil, gradually expanding and gradually expanding, as if he was completely captured in it. ——Ah, mysterious and wonderful black pupils! Jiang Bingru gave a speech as an introducer, but also as an educator.He said: "...The joy of the boudoir, used to be called Thrush. In fact, it's a bit boring, I don't think it has much meaning. Writing poems and lyrics, that's the so-called singing fee, and it's quite remarkable. But it's just a game of Xianyu, as if Said that the husband and wife are really flustered. Now they, Mr. Huanzhi and Ms. Peizhang, are also engaged in education, and they are in the same school. When I woke up in the morning, one said that I thought of a new plan, which can make students benefit more. One said that my homework is prepared to be taught in this way, do you see if there is anything that should be corrected. These words should have been said at the conference in the preparation room; but they have this blessing, in the sweet bed, and Putting your head down and sticking to your face, this is the boudoir joy they can be proud of!" In the warm applause, the heads of the bride and groom almost hang down to their chests. Huanzhi's mother actually smiled, which is a kind of smile that country people show when they see something they don't understand.She wiped her eyes again and again, lest there be some slight blurring, and she would not be able to see clearly the new daughter-in-law of the female student who stood beside her son.What did she see clearly?Loose red gauze, red and white vermilion powder, a peony embroidered on the breast of the jacket, a strange skirt without a pleat, and ridiculous shoes with pointed fronts and heels that are pushed up high by something.She also saw clearly that the new daughter-in-law wrapped and decorated by these things was still something she couldn't understand, even though her family had already agreed to her affectionately calling her "Mother". The first night, which the bride and groom also look forward to later, has finally arrived.The guests in this town have all gone home, the male guests from the city temporarily rent the dormitory in the school to rest, and the female guests live in the old lady's house.Only the newly married couple remained in the new house. Years and days are eagerly looking forward to the union, and it is still the day before yesterday to set up a new house together, but I hope that the first night will come later, what a contradictory mood!Both of them feel that everything in the past has come to an end, and they will open up another realm in the future, and the nature is also very different.If in the past it was poetic and dreamy, then it will be prose and realistic in the future.As the inevitable but unfamiliar opening ceremony draws closer, they feel more shy and bewildered.But for the one he has known for a long time, in the brand-new bedroom, in the situation where the two are facing each other, it is especially difficult and embarrassing to compare the two people who are not acquainted with each other.In case of improper performance, it will erase the good impression the other party already has; this is something to worry about. "Tired today?" Huanzhi sat down by the closet and said in a low voice, as if receiving a stranger; his head was swollen, and his face was flushed with fresh red. "Not necessarily," Miss Jin replied lightly, like a typical bride, with her head down.She was sitting in front of the dressing table, and two bright kerosene lamps reflected her beautiful silhouette in the oval mirror of the table. Huanyi's eyes slipped past, enjoying her round forehead and jade-like nose, her half-open eyes were protected by bright eyelashes, and her upper and lower lips were tenderly pressed together.The pleasure of possessing a treasure came to his heart, which made him more courageous; he cheered up and said, "We are together now!" Miss Jin's answer was to stare at him with her eyes filled with thousands of words of love. This gaze gave Yuhuan a burst of strength, he stood up abruptly, smiled recklessly and said, "What's the use of making trouble for our time? We have finally met today!" He said, and came to Miss Jin; A burst of strong fragrance (perfume fragrance, powder fragrance, mixed with hair fragrance and skin fragrance) entered the nasal passage, opening the door of joy in his heart for him. "We finally met today!" Miss Jin looked around as if confirming a dream, and then raised her head to look at Ding Huanzhi's face; her tone was like the gentlest mother singing the gentlest sleep song. This was the most suitable posture and opportunity, and Huanzhi's right arm moved freely, wrapping around Miss Jin's neck. Miss Jin flinched instinctively from this attack.But immediately thinking that there was no need to back down now, she pressed her cheeks against Huanzhi's chest and rubbed vigorously; it seemed that she had regained her lost dear mother. Everything is gone.The two of them melted in the first ignited love...
