Chapter 58 Chapter 58

On the road Pei Zheng mood has not been high, Lu Nong sighed in the heart, think this child is really unlucky, but people can not choose the origin and parents, God gave Pei Zheng a can be said to be the existence of the golden finger of the origin, was born in Rome, but also closed the window of his “parental edge”.

In the novel, Pei Zheng is just like he is now, not treated by his family, not liked by his mother, and not close to his father, until he meets the heroine and is attracted by her lively family, and only then does he realize the warmth of affection between parents and children.

It can be said that Pei Zheng will fall in love with the female lead, the female lead’s family played a very important role.

Lu Nong also remembered Shen Yimei’s ending, the book “Lu Nong” died a long time later, Pei Silk An rose two grades, Pei’s seven aunts and eight aunts to introduce a daughter-in-law, Shen Yimei finally could not help to Pei Silk An in front of the showdown, but the answer was refusal.

Shen Yimei is not happy that after so many years of dedication, Pei Jingan still treats her as a piece of grass and doesn’t even look at her, so she looks for her son Pei Zheng to back her up, but Pei Zheng doesn’t stand up for her and advises her to stop bothering her father, so Shen Yimei scolds Pei Zheng for being ungrateful.

Soon after, Pei Zheng takes the heroine to see Shen Yimei, who in revenge for her son’s failure to help her, makes it difficult for the heroine by doing a hundred things, and embarrasses the heroine at a banquet attended by celebrities, which is only resolved when Pei Zheng intervenes to stand up for the heroine.

The banquet incident is also the beginning of the formal break between Pei Zheng and Shen Yimei, who was unable to pester Pei Jing’an and made all the jokes, and was finally sent back to Yazhou by her mother and brother, where she met her former cheating partner, Cushilian.

He was already married and had children, and Shen Yimei met, the two once again sparks, Su Shiliang abandoned his wife and son but not divorce, Shen Yimei willing to be a mistress.

Later, Cebu Shiliang knew that Shen Yimei’s son Pei Zheng had a big future, gritted his teeth and his ex-wife discussed divorce, coaxed Shen Yimei to take him and his children to the capital, wanting to rely on Pei Zheng’s relationship to his children’s future.

Pei Zheng on his own mother has long been dead, did not think that his own mother can still break through the limit, that moment has become a big brother Pei Zheng sneered after, with some means to let Su Shiliang family gray back to Yazhou, Shen Yimei followed Su Shiliang also back to Yazhou.

For the rest of their lives, Shen Yimei, Su Shiliang and Su Shiliang’s ex-wife will be entangled for the rest of their lives, and they will never be at peace until they die.

After the death of Cebu Shiliang, Cebu Shiliang’s children buried their parents together, Shen Yimei cried and cried and finally remembered her promising son and called Pei Zheng to come and make a decision for herself.

Pei Zheng ended up going, and the result of the discussion was a joint burial for the three of them.

Shen Yimei is not willing, but not willing and what can be done, her son and then powerful, but also can not stop other people’s children to let their parents buried together, can agree to three people buried together has been a compromise step back, after all, Yazhou is too far from the capital city, the future tomb sweeping to rely on the children of the Cushman Liang.

These are all Lu Nong recently thought up, after thinking about it more heartache Pei Zheng, there is a saying: unfortunate childhood, to be cured in a lifetime.

And the cause of childhood misfortune, and most from the parents, Pei Zheng is even worse, his mother spread his whole life.

Perhaps it is not only Xiao Huai who needs to be cured, but also Pei Zheng, compared to the cold and heartless big brother Pei Zheng in the novel, who only slightly solves the rhetoric in front of the heroine, Lu Nu prefers the present sand sculpture, talking and laughing Pei Zheng.

In order to keep the talking and laughing Pei Zheng from disappearing, Lu Neng reluctantly had to continue to take care of (bully) him.

(Pei Zheng: Are you polite?)

To the first inspection unit, Lu Nong patted Pei Zheng’s shoulder, took the camera hanging on his neck down to him, explaining the task as solemnly said to him, “Take good, a moment to shoot me beautifully, if I shoot me ugly, you’re dead know?”

Lu Nu ran to the bottom of the unit hanging sign, posing and smiling demurely.

Pei Zheng took the camera and rolled his eyes, how could someone be so boring and specifically come to the entrance of the unit to take pictures, the key is that they also pulled him along, it’s too embarrassing.

I have to say, the two people’s thinking difference of half a century, Pei Zheng only think Lu Nong specifically to the door of people’s units to take pictures is very boring, put into the modern era, that is the equivalent of someone who specifically ran to the door of the village canning factory to take pictures.

And what Lu Nong wants is to try her best to leave a mark on this era, so that when she enters the Internet era and becomes a cross-century old lady, she can show off these precious photo materials.

See, Grandma, I almost made it into the Chinese Academy of Sciences when I was young.

Don’t believe me? Look, Grandma here has photos to prove it!

Yes, one of the first olive branches Lu Nong received was the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The national character at the beginning is the Institute of Archaeology, is China’s first national level of archaeological research institutions, has participated in the excavation of the Half-slope site, Luoyang East Zhou City site, Mawangdui Han Tomb, Sui and Tang Dynasty Luoyang City site and so on……. These are just a few Lu Nong remembered the more famous projects.

Sixty-one years when the Institute of Fine Archaeology to simplify the organization, the entire department is left with only more than a hundred people, very bad into, even Lu Nong did not expect to receive the olive branch of the Institute of Archaeology.

The pie is big, but as a national archaeological unit, there is bound to be outgoing archaeological work, and between the 1960s and the 1990s a large number of tomb and monument sites were discovered across the country, most of which involved the Institute of Archaeology.

It’s conceivable that a youngster like Lu Nu will go in and run around the country, most likely.

Lu Nong heart, but also stop at heart, first of all, she is not sure if she can suffer, Miss Lu Nong Nong grew up in her uncle’s house as a child in fine clothes, exchanged to the modern era, out of the country have airplanes, high-speed rail convenient transportation, live in a high-class hotel, and suffer the word never touched.

Furthermore, she wasn’t alone after all, she had Wu Ma and Xiao Huai with her.

Well …… although Lu Nu usually does not bring Xiao Huai much, but the two comparisons of having the real mom with her and having the real mom traveling for most of the year are still different.

He said that he would accompany Xiao Huai to grow up well and not let him grow up to be the villain in the novel, and that he would do what he said he would do.

So she rejected the unsuitable several units early, said to field trip in fact only one unit, this time to the Archaeological Research Institute, purely for the door to take pictures to keep a souvenir, for this Lu Nong deliberately borrowed Shen Jiming’s home camera.

…… Mentioning Shen Wenming, Lu Nu seriously suspected that he had social bullheadedness, and he is now living alone in the Shen family, but people can be much more heartfelt than Pei Zheng.

Mid-autumn day at Pei’s home to listen to the whole process, Shen family after the accident honestly stay at home, wait for all the dust to settle, and began to Pei’s home to run, see Pei Silk An can face without changing color shouting “Pei uncle”, Pei Silk An face without changing color to say yes, as if the two families have nothing to worry about, the two people have so much bull in the body.

No wonder the novel ends with Pei Silk An and Shen Wenming one becoming a military big shot and the other becoming a political big shot, tsk tsk.

After playing the card of the Institute of Archaeology, Lu Nong took Pei Zheng to run several units in a row and met the strange gazes of others to take good pictures.

Pei Zheng really admired this stepmother of his, treating the eyes of others as if they were nothing and not caring about others at all.

When she arrived at the last unit, the one Lu Nong wanted to work for, she didn’t take a picture, instead she went with Pei Zheng to buy two tickets – tickets for the Forbidden City.

At this time the Forbidden City is not like the later generations of visitors from all over the world, the flow of people, the daily limit of tickets, ticket prices are very low, as long as eight cents.

People’s standard of living is not high, and most of them are busy making a living, and their pursuit of material things is much higher than their spiritual and cultural needs.

And then think about half a century after the country of China, simply sky-rocketing, ever-changing, Lu Nong as a person spanning two eras, is a witness to this history, all kinds of thoughts in the heart stirring, there is a kind of inexplicable impulse to want to shed tears.

“What’s wrong with you?” Pei Zheng turned his head Kung Fu to see Lu Nong’s eyes moist, not like sadness but like being touched, confused.

Lu Nong shook her head, “Pei Zheng, do you believe it? In the future, our country will build rockets that fly into space, go to the moon, and set up a space station in space; it will take back the land it lost; it will gain the respect of the world, everyone will have enough to eat, and people from all over the world will come to visit the Forbidden City.”

Pei Zheng reached out and touched Lu Nu’s forehead, “You don’t have a fever, do you?”

Lu Nu slapped Pei Zheng’s hand away, “You don’t believe me?”

Pei Zheng: “I believe that the motherland will be strong in the future, but you’re talking about this as if you’ve seen it with your own eyes, and those who don’t know will think you’re writing a science fiction novel.”

Lu Nong smiled mysteriously, “Science fiction some times is a prediction of the future, wasn’t the Nautilus ultimately built by the Pretty Country, and in October, our country’s first atomic/bomb exploded successfully, all of these were fantasies a hundred years ago, so who’s to say that science fiction is merely fantasy?”

Pei Zheng was thoughtful, “If only it was really like you said.”

“Since you have so many strange ideas in your head, why don’t you just write a science fiction novel? You’re from a liberal arts college, don’t waste your talent, and when you become a celebrity and people ask about our relationship, I’ll tell them that the famous science fiction novelist Lu Nong is my stepmother!” Pei Zheng encouraged Lu Nong.

“Wow, that’s not bad, you’ve got a lot of ideas young man.”

Lu Nong looked at Pei Zheng with surprise as if her mind had been opened, she could totally write a book about modern life in the form of sci-fi, whether or not it made sense is another story, at the very least, it could satisfy her own expectations of the future!

She also wanted to record the vicissitudes of the times, just as she had used her camera to take a snapshot of herself and the times, so that she could act as a personalized camera and write down what she had experienced.

******

Once inside the Forbidden City, the two men first toured the Palace from end to end before finally reporting to the library.

There was only one old man in the library wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, after Lu Nong explained his intention to the old man, the old man lifted his head and looked at Lu Nong, “You are Lu Nong, the outstanding student recommended by Professor Jingliang?”

“Yes, hello, I am Lu Nu.” Lu Nu smiled faintly.

For Lu Nong’s polite greeting, the old man’s tone of voice did not change for the better, but instead more serious up and down to look at Lu Nong: “You are not a serious library science graduate, sure that you can be competent for library work?”

Lu Nong has not really had contact with the library management of this profession, but she can learn, roll the king is not afraid of all the challenges, advanced to work in the Imperial Palace and then say.

“I can try.” Lu Nu said modestly.

“Try?” The old man snorted, “We are not a place for you to try. Tell you what, I’ll test you, if you pass then you can stay and work, if you don’t, I’ll have to ask you to find another job.”

Pei Zheng looked at Lu Nong worriedly.

Lu Neng nodded, “Of course.”

Seeing Lu Nong’s quick agreement, the old man raised an eyebrow and walked towards the library with his back hand, “Come with me, the lads in the back will follow along.”

Lu Neng and Pei Zheng looked at each other and followed the old man.

The old man led the two of them through the vast and smoky book collection area, pulling out a book or a few books from different shelves and putting them into Pei Zheng and Lu Nong’s hands, which amounted to as many as twenty to thirty books.

Finally he led Lu Nong and Pei Zheng out of the book collection area, turned to Lu Nong and said, “Now you go and put these books back in their original places, as long as you can put two thirds of them right you can stay, this young man is not allowed in.”

Pei Zheng’s eyes widened as he listened, clearly making it difficult for Lu Nu, with so many books, it’s hard to put half of them correctly, and two thirds is simply impossible.

Lu Nu smiled and said, “Good.”

She re-entered the collection area with a stack of books, and this time it was the old man’s turn to follow Lu Nong.

When Lu Nong put the first book in its original position, the old man’s expression was unimpressed, and when Lu Nong put the second book back in its original position, the old man’s expression was still unimpressed.

When Lu Nong put the third, fourth, fifth …… and tenth books back in their original places, the old man s expression became solemn.

When Lu Nong put the twentieth …… thirtieth …… last book back in the correct position, the old man was shocked.

He took off his old glasses and once again looked Lu Nong up and down, but this time there was no longer underestimation but admiration in his gaze, finally he coughed softly, “You passed my test, you can stay here and work, come and report to work next Monday.”

“Thank you so much then.” Lu Nu bowed and thanked him.

The two returned to the office area and Lu Nu excused herself, “Master Li, then in that case I’ll take my leave.”

Master Lee waved his hand and returned to his seat to continue reading the newspaper.

Pei Zheng didn’t know the result and asked Lu Neng in a low voice, “How was it?”

Lu Neng shook his head, “Let’s go.”

Pei Zheng looked at Master Li and then at Lu Nong, who had already walked out of the library, and chased after her to comfort her.

“Didn’t pass? It’s fine, more than thirty books, even I can’t remember ……” Pei Zheng comforted Lu Nong.

“What do you mean even you can’t remember? You mean I’m worse than you?”

Pei Zheng: “……” He really didn’t dare to say that.

Pei Zheng took a deep breath and told himself that Lu Nu was in a bad mood for being kicked out, and he had to be understanding and sympathetic!

“I don’t mean that, I mean, that old man is just deliberately making things difficult for you, don’t stay here, don’t be discouraged.”

Lu Nu covered her face, her voice muffled from her palm, “I’m so miserable, don’t you have anything to show for it?”

Pei Zheng “hissed” and secretly said it was not good, who knows what kind of crooked ideas Lu Nong would come up with to torment him when he was in a bad mood.

“…… What do you want?”

Lu Nong immediately made a request, “I’m going to take your Grandma Wu and Xiao Huai to the Great Wall this weekend to take pictures, so help us take pictures of the backpack.”

Pei Zheng gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I promise you!”

Lu Nu quickly released the hand covering her face and said with a smile, “Too good, when the time comes, you can bring several of your brothers with you, one to hold Xiaohuai, one to carry a backpack, one to take pictures, and the remaining one to support your Grandma Wu.”

Pei Zheng: “……” is a beautiful thought.

…… But brothers, is to be used to pit.

Back home, in order to celebrate her successful entry, Lu Nong made a bunch of snacks and prepared a table of good food with Wu Ma, calling Pei Zheng to play the hand, she first went upstairs to change her clothes.

Pei Zheng picked vegetables in his hands and asked Wu Ma curiously with his mouth, “Grandma Wu, what kind of day is today that you’re cooking so many dishes?”

“You don’t know?” Wu Ma said cheerfully, “Thickness has been assigned to the Forbidden City and is working in the library, it’s clean, so let me make a nice meal to celebrate.”

Pei Zheng: “……”

“She said that? Said it went into a library job?”

Wu Ma nodded, “Yes ah, aiyo she also said that an old gentleman in the library to make it difficult for her, let us Nong Nong put a pile of books one by one back to the original position, the result Nong Nong a not bad put back. This is a small skill, our thick thick since childhood, can not forget, standing in the doorway to look at the house, will be able to put the things in the house which placed where remember clearly, not to mention a few books.”

“Didn’t you go with her? You should know better, why are you asking me?” Wu Ma was surprised.

And again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Pei Zheng clenched his fists and pounded his chest with his hands, always feeling that he would one day be exasperated by Lu Nong and play with him to death.

Lu Nong changed her clothes and returned to the kitchen, and in the meantime, she brought the sleeping cub to her, and she was greeted by Pei Zheng’s death stare, the look of injustice.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Neng put down the cub.

Pei Zheng: “Didn t …… you say you didn t pass the exam?”

Lu Nu paused for a moment, pretending to recall, “Did I say that?”

“……”

The corner of Pei Zheng’s mouth twitching, yes, Lu Nong from beginning to end did not say that he failed, people just show a look of unperturbed, at best this “unperturbed” like a great loss.

This liar! Believe Lu Nong one more time, he’s a pig!

Lu Nu: “Since it’s your own misunderstanding, you can’t go back on your promise to me.”

Pei Zheng laughed and said through gritted teeth, “A spit and a nail, never back out.” He would always remember what happened when he was cheated by Lu Nong.

“That’s good.” Lu Neng nodded in satisfaction.

In the evening Pei Silk An went home, what came into his eyes was a table of sumptuous dishes, like a New Year’s Eve, he looked at Lu Nong in disbelief.

Wu Ma joyfully opened her mouth, “Our family Nong Nong has entered the Forbidden City to work, do something delicious to celebrate.”

“Celebrate.” Gu Xiaohuai repeated Wu Ma’s words, he had become more and more fluent lately.

Lu Nu stroked the cub’s little head and nodded haughtily.

“In that case, it’s time to celebrate.” Pei Jingan glanced around the dining table before walking over to the wine cabinet, opening it and taking out a bottle of low degree back to the table, uncapping it, and pouring a small glass of wine for himself, Wu Ma, and Lu Nong each.

Pei Zheng looked blearily at Pei Jingan, then reacted as an afterthought that this was the first time he dared to look his own father squarely in the eye for so many days, not realizing that it was for a glass of wine.

“……” He must have been brought down by the heartless Lu Nong.

He immediately dropped his eyes.

Pei Jingan picked up the tea cup in front of Pei Zheng, poured out the tea inside, personally poured him a glass of wine, and gently placed it in front of Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng looked up in disbelief, his own father actually poured him wine himself?

The two fathers and sons glanced at each other, Pei Zheng reddened his eyes, Pei Silk An frowned at the sight and said with a stern face, “A great man bleeds and sweats but does not shed tears, you are my Pei Silk An’s son, I don’t want to see you show a weak stance again in the future.”

It was still the same reprimanding, unforgiving words, but for the first time, Pei Zheng had seriously listened into his heart.

Although Lu Nong did not agree with Pei Silk An’s words, at this time Pei Zheng was the most insecure, a word from his father to teach him a lesson was more useful than a thousand words of comfort said by the side, because his father’s reprimand represented caring, represented that he had not been given up.

I don’t know if Pei Li An understands this reasoning before applying the right medicine.

After admonishing Pei Zheng, Pei Silk An raised his glass and said a few words of scene to celebrate Lu Nong’s successful work, and the family all raised their glasses and dipped their mouths.

Just as everyone put down their wine cups and began to eat, Wu Ma suddenly patted her head, “Wait, I’ve specially boiled deer blood soup for Auntie this day, I’ll go and bring it here.”

Pei Silian: “……”

Lu Nu: “…… “Awesome godmother, I have not been able to prevent a thousand defenses, and you still made the soup under my nose.

Pei Zheng: “……” Come on, it’s time for me to bow down again.

This time Pei Zheng incidentally pressed his own brother’s head down as well, and the two brothers buried their heads in one position to eat, vowing to let the others at the table know that they can’t hear it or hear it or hear it, so feel free to do as you please.

Lu Nu: “……”
