Chapter 107: Husband sings and wife follows? Did Brother Yuan Chao do it on purpose?

Fengtian Railway Guesthouse
"I'm taking the train back to the capital tonight. This is my dormitory phone number. If you need anything, you can call me."

……

In the morning, Zheng Juan came to Wang Yuanchao's room happily as usual to receive the day's teachings.

It has been 13 days and she has learned 312 characters from the Thousand Character Classic. She didn't even know she was so smart.

She went to night school as usual. No matter how cold it was, her heart was always burning with joy.

At night school, she learned another 165 words, and her learning efficiency was greatly improved because she knew how to memorize these words by forming words and sentences.

She has even started writing. It's a little ugly, but it's understandable.

Her leaders and colleagues at work were also more caring towards her, and she felt that her fate had changed.

My younger brother would give my grandmother massage at home in the evening. He could explain the meridians and acupoints in detail.

He talked more, became more lively, and his whole body was filled with something called hope.

He would always say "Uncle Yuanchao said" and "Uncle Yuanchao said". Fortunately, Zheng Juan asked Brother Yuanchao, and it turned out that the younger brother never had a serious apprenticeship. He just taught whoever was free, and the one who taught the most was Brother Yuanchao who returned recently.

Sometimes after helping my grandma, I would also help her. Although the boy didn't have much strength, he did feel some soreness and swelling when he massaged, which was quite comfortable.

Only grandma, although smiling happily, but Zheng Juan could see a hint of worry in her eyes from time to time.

She knew what her grandmother was worried about.

More than a month ago, when she decided to trust Brother Yuan Chao and change the fate of her family, her grandmother said:
"There is no free lunch.

There is nothing that doesn't require a price.

If you feel you haven’t paid a price, then you are the price.”

Zheng Juan certainly understood what her grandmother meant. She was liked by others. After all, Wang Yuanchao had used flowers as an analogy, which was quite explicit.

In fact, having known Wang Yuanchao for such a long time, from the four strings of candied haws in the beginning to the work and study of the whole family later, with no worries about food and clothing and the care of colleagues and leaders, Zheng Juan felt that even if he fell in love with her, so what?

What's more, Wang Yuanchao is quite good-looking.

Which girl doesn't have love in her heart? Meeting such a talented, handsome and capable man, Zheng Juan can still be polite, reserved and behave herself, which is already the good result of Grandma Zheng's education.

When they arrived at Wang Yuanchao's room, Wang Yuanchao didn't waste any time and first checked his study progress yesterday.

"Tell me what you learned yesterday first."

Zheng Juan opened her mouth and said:

"Sincerity at the beginning is beautiful, and caution at the end is appropriate.

What this sentence means is that whether it is self-cultivation or studying, it is good to pay attention to the beginning, but it is more important to do it seriously and have good results.

The foundation of a prosperous career is endless.

What this sentence means is that this is the foundation of a lifelong honorable career, and with this foundation, there is no end to development.

Those with excellent academic performance will be promoted to officials and those who take up positions in politics will be promoted to officials.

This sentence means that if you study well, you can become an official and exercise your power to participate in state affairs. "

Wang Yuanchao wrote a few words casually, and Zheng Juan could recognize them all. He nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was still worth training.

Wang Yuanchao handed over today's "Keep the sweet tangerine, and you will sing more when you leave. Music is different for the noble and the humble, and etiquette is different for the high and the low. The upper and the lower are in harmony, and the husband sings and the wife follows."

He began to explain sentence by sentence and asked Zheng Juan to recite it.

As God knows, he definitely taught in order, six sentences and 24 words a day.

But Zheng Juan's face was flushed, and she said to herself: I will definitely listen to you.

What bad intentions could Wang Yuanchao have?
I just can't bear to see the flowers being ravaged by bad people.

Even if a girl develops early, it cannot hide her actual age. After all, how old is Zheng Juan?
Zheng Juan finished today's homework with a red face.

Wang Yuanchao did not send Zheng Guangming to a blind massage school. At the end of the 50s, blind massage training schools appeared in the capital and Fengtian as well, but Wang Yuanchao had visited them. It's hard to describe.

So he entrusted Zheng Guangming to his uncle's clinic to learn massage for five years, and he only needed to provide him with meals. In fact, it was easy to teach him. He only needed to follow the routine movements, and his uncle and brothers would give him some pointers, and he would have an honest free laborer to help him with the massage.

This child was educated by his grandmother to be very sensible and able to endure hardships. He may have also been taught by his sister Zheng Juan that this was an opportunity to change his destiny, so he worked very hard.

Massage training may only take a few months, but Zheng Guangming needs to work for free for 5 years in exchange for this learning opportunity.

Wang Yuanchao felt that this was definitely more profound than what was taught in school. As long as Zheng Guangming was willing to study hard and work hard, his growth would be limitless compared to those technicians in school.

He brought in two pounds of frozen mutton from the window, which had been frozen outside the window last night, and said:
“This is a New Year gift for you. During the New Year, your family can make mutton dumplings.

I'm taking the train back to the capital tonight. This is my dormitory phone number. If you have any questions, you can call me."

Zheng Juan was a little flustered, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she said nervously:

"You, you, do you still want me?"

Wang Yuanchao wanted to reach out and stroke her hair, but thinking that the girl was not young anymore, he retracted his hand. Unexpectedly, Zheng Juan took the initiative to move her head closer and leaned directly on him.

Wang Yuanchao hugged her gently, supported her, and said:

"Did you forget what I said?"

Zheng Juan was a little confused. What did you say?

"You must trust me and not doubt me!"

Zheng Juan nodded quickly and said:
"I believe it. I will do whatever you say."

Wang Yuanchao handed her the Thousand Characters book he had bought and said:
"I'm going back now. You still have to study hard at night school. If you don't understand something, ask the teacher for help. Next time when I come, you'd better explain it to me from beginning to end!

If you can't read more and learn more, how can you help me in the future?"

Zheng Juan was immediately delighted and said with a smile:

"I will study hard, don't worry. I will definitely not let you down!"

Wang Yuanchao went to say goodbye to his master again. His master helped him order a batch of ginseng, deer antlers and tiger bones. However, the quantity of each kind of medicinal material was not large, especially tiger bones, which were very rare.

"This ginseng should be 50 years old. Under normal circumstances, it is enough for you to use it as medicine. No matter how old it is, the effect is not worth the price, so I didn't ask for it for you.

In 62, the government included the Siberian tiger in the list of protected animals. If you want to collect this, you might as well go to the south, where more South China tigers have been killed in recent years. Some of those medicinal herb dealers go to the south to collect them.

However, if you need it for something else, I have prepared a jar of wine for you, so you can take it with you if it is convenient for you."

If it wasn’t for his master telling me, Wang Yuanchao wouldn’t have known that the South China tiger is still one of the four pests these days! In a few decades, it will be extinct in the wild.

He suddenly couldn't help but want to do something for the South China tiger.

However, he could do nothing at the moment, not even to help collect their bodies.

Moreover, the number of bones that my master has in this profession is not as many as those obtained through unconventional means in the railway system.

But he had already collected quite a lot, so he could pack the herbs and carry them away by himself.

As for that jar of wine, wow, it’s really good stuff.

After having dinner at his master's house, Wang Yuanchao returned to the guesthouse and began to pack his bags to say goodbye to the director, Brother Wang Bin.

The elder brother has been with him for quite a long time, and he likes this younger brother from the bottom of his heart because he is experienced and knowledgeable.

Road:
"Don't worry, bro. I'll take good care of you!"

Those who understand that look will understand.

Wang Yuanchao didn't explain either. There was no explanation.

The train ticket back this time is much cheaper. I can leave in the evening and arrive the next morning, so I only need to sleep for one night.

The last time he came out, it was definitely Director Jin who was making trouble for him and wanted to teach him a lesson.

[In February 1959, the Ministry of Forestry issued a directive that classified the South China tiger as a harmful animal in the same category as bears, leopards, and wolves, and called on hunters to "hunt and kill them with all their might"; while the Siberian tiger was listed as a protected animal in the same category as the giant panda, golden monkey, and gibbon, and could be captured alive but not killed.

In September 1962, the State Council issued a directive to protect and rationally utilize wild animal and plant resources, listing 9 species of animals that were strictly prohibited from hunting and protected in some areas. The South China tiger was once again excluded.
