Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Chapter 159 Fading away

Yang Dawei picked up a piece of pork chop for his girlfriend, "You can't believe me when I say I've never been in a relationship at my age! Come, eat a piece of pork chop, you're too skinny! You'll look better if you gain some weight!"

Li Lu ate the pork ribs happily and stopped asking how many digits Yang Dawei had as his ex-girlfriend.

Qin Huifang sighed, "Sister Li Lu, listen to me. You can't trust everything men say. They love to change women. They say you'd look better if you had some weight, but when you really gain weight, they'll be the first one to dislike you!"

Yang Dawei protested, "Gah ha ha! Why are you all here to instigate my girlfriend? Are you bullying her because she is young?"

"You are the one who bullies her!" Qin Huifang rolled her eyes at him and continued to say to Li Lu, "Li Lu, do you know that your brother-in-law in my family was so attached to me before we got married that he clung to me like a dog-skin plaster. But he changed after I gave birth to my child. When I was a baby for a few months, my body shape hadn't recovered yet, but he said to me that I looked like a big-bellied toad every day, and he also complained that I was losing my hair. Anyway, he never even looked at me all day long!"

Li Lu smiled and looked at Qin Huifang, then at Lu Jiaming. Before she could speak, Yang Dawei quickly said, "Hey, that's your Lu Jiaming, but not all men are like that! At least the four of us aren't, right?"

Fu Xinyang nodded, but Ma Mingjun and Zheng Wei didn't respond.

As soon as Qiu Luming saw Li Lu's expression, he knew that Qin Huifang's words were in vain. The girl was in love and seemed very confident. She must have felt that even if she gave birth to a child, she would never be as ugly as a toad. Even if she was really ugly, her big brother Wei would not despise her.

Perhaps in her eyes, these older sisters are already old women. The four-year age difference makes her feel superior.

Qiu Luming turned around and asked, "Huifang, is my goddaughter two years old? If she didn't make it to her birthday this year, I'll make it up to her as her godmother with a gift later!"

As soon as her daughter was mentioned, Qin Huifang immediately changed the subject and no longer cared about Li Lu.

Ma Mingjun chuckled and said, "Old Qiu has been a godmother for two years, and she doesn't even have a partner. You have to hurry up."

"You, are you so happy with your love life that you want to bring everyone in the world together to date?" Qiu Luming glared at Ma Mingjun warningly. This guy always mentioned her dating status during a meal. Don't think she doesn't know, he is secretly acting as a vanguard for his good buddy Zheng Wei.

Qiu Luming had long understood what Zheng Wei meant, but she really had no feelings for him.

Overall, this guy has all the good qualities, but she has always treated him as a good friend. She is really afraid that Zheng Wei will not be tactful enough to tell her the truth. That would be really embarrassing, and she might not even be able to be friends with him.

Ma Mingjun shrugged helplessly at Zheng Wei, picked up the wine glass, raised it towards Qiu Luming, and said, "Apologize." Then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said nothing more.

Lin Haiying, who had been silent all this time, brought up the topic of Qiu Luming's new house at the right time, saying that she envied Qiu Luming for being able to get a house at such a young age, and that their Agricultural Bank system also built a building, but she was not eligible for a house because of her lack of experience. She also discussed with her whether red or original color flooring was better, and whether it was better to buy a wardrobe from Guangming Furniture or find a carpenter to build one embedded in the wall.

Qin Huifang heard something and clicked her tongue twice, "Old Ma, have you set a date? Shouldn't we prepare the gifts?"

Ma Mingjun chuckled, "We'll meet our in-laws. We'll get married after my zodiac year is over, in the first month of next year. The staff housing complex in our company will also be completed and renovated next month. We'll go to Harbin on National Day to buy things and take wedding photos."

Everyone laughed and said congratulations.

Yang Dawei said, "Do you still remember that time in the library, in Lao Qiu's reading room, you were full of emotion, because Lao Xu came back to Shanghai, which stimulated you. He said that in Jiayang, a small place, we were born and raised here and didn't have much experience. You wanted to go out and see the world. Tsk, tsk, why don't you go out now? You won't go anywhere if you have a wife?"

"You are so damn vengeful." Ma Mingjun laughed and scolded, "Who can remember what happened five years ago? Anyway, I don't remember what I said."

The friendship between childhood friends who grew up together may not last until the end.

Qiu Luming could feel that the Seven Freaks of Jiayang were no longer as united and harmonious as they were five years ago. Back then, there were only some minor frictions between Lu Jiaming and Yang Dawei occasionally. Now, five years later, everyone seemed to have collectively neglected Yang Dawei. It was really that this man's style of doing things in recent years was becoming increasingly unacceptable.

Among the remaining people, Ma Mingjun and Zheng Wei are the best friends, and Qiu Luming and Qin Huifang are the best friends. This is a friendship they established when they were young.

Han Meifen, who joined the group the latest, has almost left the Jiayang Seven Monsters. She rarely contacts everyone, and she didn't talk to everyone during today's meal. Judging from her expression, she is not unwilling to get together with everyone. She still has a happy and yearning smile on her face, but that smile seems to have nothing to do with everyone.

She sat on the left side of Qiu Luming, but her body was obviously leaning towards Fu Xinyang. She crossed her legs with her right leg pressing on her left leg. She even supported her chin with her hand. She put down her chopsticks and supported her cheek with her right hand, looking at Fu Xinyang from time to time.

Her body language expressed that her heart and eyes were filled with Fu Xinyang.

It really makes others envious.

At least Qiu Luming was envious - she could love someone wholeheartedly and be together with the person she loved.

At this moment, the topic just paused for a moment, and everyone at the table started talking to each other in pairs, leaving only her and Zheng Wei staring at each other from a distance.

Zheng Wei smiled at her attentively, which scared her so much that she quickly looked away.

After the banquet, everyone left the private room and Han Meifen couldn't help but dry heave.

Yang Dawei immediately exclaimed, "No wonder she doesn't want to drink, it turns out she's pregnant! If you're pregnant, just say it openly, why are you hiding it!"

Han Meifen was almost crying. She wiped her eyes and said, "I have been feeling uncomfortable in my stomach recently. I dare not drink alcohol because I am afraid it will irritate my stomach."

Qin Huifang also said angrily, "Meifen, you are not unmarried, there is nothing you can't tell me about your pregnancy! I have some experience, and I can teach you a thing or two!"

Han Meifen blushed, "No, no, because it's only three months old in a week, and my mother-in-law said that I have to wait until three months before telling anyone, otherwise it will be bad for the child."

At this point, no one can say anything more.

"Okay, whatever you say! Let's go home first!" Yang Dawei laughed and said to Li Lu, "Wife! Get in the car!"

Li Lu hit him, "What are you yelling about!"

"It's just a matter of time!" Yang Dawei waited for Li Lu to sit down, then he pushed off on his bike first.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Xinyang also rode away with Han Meifen on his bicycle.

Qiu Luming heard Fu Xinyang, who had ridden ten meters away, scolding him, "Didn't our mother tell us not to tell? How come you let it all out after someone tricked you?"

Han Meifen said helplessly, "But I can't control my nausea at all. What can I do?"

"Meifen, remember, you are different from them now. We are married and have our own little family. Our first priority is to serve this little family. If we have extra energy, we can take care of our parents. Only then can we become relatives, friends and classmates.

You also need to distinguish between good and bad character among your friends. For example, you should not make close friends with Yang Dawei. You absolutely should not make close friends with him."

"Xinyang, I'm not familiar with him. I joined their small group later."

"That's good. Meifen, really, I don't object to you working, I don't object to you having good friends. I have said so much for only one purpose, which is for your own good, for the good of our little family. In the future, we will have to walk hand in hand..."

The bicycle was getting farther and farther away, and Qiu Luming could no longer hear it.

When she went to push the bicycle, she could feel Zheng Wei's burning eyes staring at her, so she simply didn't even look at him, said goodbye to Qin Huifang, Ma Mingjun and others hastily, and left.

***

When you go to work in a regular manner, five days are almost the same as one day.

After finishing the delivery, Qiu Luming started to read the self-study textbooks, as he will go to Beijing to take the exam in October.

But he saw his mother hesitating at the door. Qiu Luming had a premonition of what she was going to say and directly refused, "Mom, there are some things that you should not say."

"Why can't I tell you? I accidentally discovered the photos and small gifts in your bookshelf today. I don't have to pry into your privacy, but if you really want to find me a Russian son-in-law, you have to give us some mental preparation in advance!"

"Oh." Qiu Luming thought his mother was going to tell him that someone was coming to her house to act as a matchmaker. "That's impossible. He can't come to China."

"What's the matter?" He Mansu walked into the room and sat on the kang.

"He is a shipyard technician, probably involved in the construction of an aircraft carrier or some warship. Anyway, he is not allowed to leave the country in the short term. Mom, I really didn't know his specific work beforehand. I have been with him for three months..."

Qiu Luming roughly told his mother what happened at the beginning, and finally concluded, "We will have no future in the future. Even if he comes to find me three years later, I can't guarantee that I will still like him, so we broke up." Qiu Luming and his mother talked about everything.

This is what He Manshu is most pleased about. In this way, no matter what difficulties and problems her daughter encounters, she can pass on her experience to her in a timely and effective manner to avoid unnecessary losses.

"You're right. Yoyo, you've grown up. He's involved in state secrets, so you should never have anything to do with him again. This is not just a matter between two families, but a matter between two countries. You're right." He Manshu stroked her daughter's hair distressedly, "You must feel bad! My poor girl, why is it so hard to have a relationship!"

"Mom, recently, no matter who introduces me to a date, just reject them directly. I'll take it easy, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay. Mom won't rush you. You can live at home for the rest of your life and I won't rush you. I just don't want to delay your lifelong happiness."

After saying that, he took the photo and looked at it carefully, "This old Russian guy is really good-looking..."
