Chapter 2 The Eighties
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three years have passed. Zuo Xiaoyou has officially entered the adult stage.
The 18-year-old Zuo Xiaoyou has grown into a tall man of 1.85 meters. He has a very handsome appearance. Not only has a good figure, but his long legs are also envied by countless boys. At the same time, he is called Pan An and the prince charming by girls in the school.
Zuo Xiaoyou is now a senior high school student, but because his grades have always remained at the top of the grade, he has been admitted to a Peking University place by the school. Therefore, Zuo Xiaoyou should be one of the easiest college entrance examination candidates throughout his senior year.
Another student was given a recommended place, the female hero who wrote a love letter to Zuo Xiaoyou back then.
This female hero is not only in the same class as Zuo Xiaoyou in junior high school, but also in the same class as Zuo Xiaoyou in high school. She is also the first in the grade every time. She is the second in the grade every time, but only in the Analects of Chinese language test papers, Zuo Xiaoyou will lose two or three points every time. No, this woman's composition level is too high, and she will have full marks almost every time. Zuo Xiaoyou's writing style is not as good as hers, and she will fail the exam if she fails.
Fortunately, Zuo Xiaoyou has a huge advantage in terms of total score, and his total score will exceed this woman's ten or twenty. While admiring this woman, she will study hard without admitting her defeat, so she has always firmly occupied the role of the number one pursuer.
Because of this, after the two entered the third year of high school, they both obtained the school's admission quota.
By the way, the heroine's surname is Wang Mingfang, a name that suits the atmosphere of the times. Fang is 29 years old, 1.68 meters tall, and weighs 50kg. She looks like a model figure, but her appearance is much more beautiful than ordinary models. She looks a bit like Chen Hong, a female star in Zuo Xiaoyou's previous life. If there is a school beauty ranking in this era, Wang Fang can at least be in the top three.
Wang Fang is a good family, has a good family, and is good at studying. She is the object of male aspirations in the school. However, such a goddess has taken the initiative to bother Zuo Xiaoyou for three years. Even during the winter and summer vacations, she would ask him to go out to play with him from time to time.
Zuo Xiaoyou is not a arrogant fool like Long Aotian. He has neither taken the initiative nor refused to Wang Fang, and they get along quite well. However, Zuo Xiaoyou always feels that Wang Fang is not his future marriage partner, because Wang Fang is a girl who yearns for abroad and is a typical product of the era that thinks that the moon is rounder abroad. Of course, Zuo Xiaoyou did not express dissatisfaction with her. In this particular era, there are too many people who yearn for abroad. Even in the 21st century, there are a lot of gzjy belittle the motherland and elevate Europe and the United States, and all kinds of soft articles are disgusting.
Zuo Xiaoyou did not plan to change Wang Fang's thoughts. Everyone has their own values. Since she thinks that abroad is good, she will just go abroad in the future. But Zuo Xiaoyou will never give up on her motherland in this life. Foreign? Maybe she will visit her when traveling, but the places where she works and lives will always be in China.
However, because Zuo Xiaoyou's words and deeds were not attracted to foreign countries, Wang Fang's idea was directly affected. She originally planned to study abroad after the college entrance examination, but when she faced the school's proposal for the Peking University admission quota, when she learned that Zuo Xiaoyou had accepted another quota, she accepted Peking University admission without hesitation.
After hearing this news, Wang Fang's mother had a fight with Wang Fang, but with her father's help, her mother chose to compromise. After all, Peking University is also the top institution in China, and it is Wang Fang's father's alma mater. It is a very proud thing for Wang Fang's father to be able to attend his alma mater.
By the way, because of this, Wang Fang's parents specially invited him to have dinner at home. As the most learned group of people of this era, Wang Fang's parents basically have an open attitude towards their daughter's feelings. As long as the person their daughter likes is not too bad, they will not object too much. But they always have to look at who the daughter likes. Because her daughter likes a bad boy, she changed her idea of studying abroad, and it would be strange if Wang Fang's parents didn't take a look at it personally.
Zuo Xiaoyou learned from Wang Fang that her parents wanted to meet her, and she was a little surprised: "Why did your parents meet me?"
"Because..." Wang Fang was a little shy and wrapped her fingers around her braids, saying, "My parents know that I like you."
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou sighed: "But we are not a boyfriend or girlfriend!"
"It's time for a while!" Wang Fang pursed her lips and looked at him with big eyes: "Do you don't like me?"
"...This is not a question of whether we like it or not. Don't you think we are too young?" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "We are still high school students!"
"But we are all eighteen years old." Wang Fang said seriously: "Before the Marriage Law was officially implemented on January 1, 1981, we could get married and have children at our age."
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou was speechless. It was 1983. The first marriage law in China was just implemented two years ago, which stipulated the legal age for marriage for men and women. However, before that, whether a man and a woman got married depends on the conditions of both families. There are many situations where they get married at the age of fourteen or five. Even now, in addition to big cities, many second- and third-tier cities get married first and then get a marriage certificate. Even in 2015, before Zuo Xiaoyou was reborn, many men and women in remote rural areas got married in their teens. This was the case in 2015, let alone 1983.
"You just want to marry me?" After nothing can be said, Zuo Xiaoyou had to face this problem.
Wang Fang looked at him and nodded heavily: "Didn't I say it in the letter three years ago? I want to form a firm revolutionary friendship with you until Immortality."
“…”
That night, Zuo Xiaoyou returned home and told Yan Zhen about the situation he encountered at school. After hearing this, Yan Zhen smiled with relief: "This is a good thing! Remember to get up early on Sunday, put on the best clothes, and wear that suit, so that all the parents of the child's family can see. If the matter is almost the same, I will talk to the parents of the child about you."
Zuo Xiaoyou pulled the corner of his mouth: "Master, you have thought about it. We are all from the special abilities department. She is just an ordinary girl. If something goes wrong in the future, I will not be able to protect her."
"What do you want to do so much?" Yan Zhen said: "The responsibility of our special functional department is to defend our country. Since this is the case, our family members must give us the greatest support, and even if they sacrifice their lives for the country, they will do whatever they want."
"..." Sure enough, there is no human rights!
"It's not this problem!" Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "It's our identity that cannot be exposed. If they marry their daughter to me without knowing it, there will be problems in the future. Not only will they not support me, but they will call me a liar and a bastard who cheated their daughter away!"
"This..." Yan Zhen frowned: "It's also a problem."
"So I'd better not go!" Zuo Xiaoyou said.
"No! Go." Yan Zhen said: "One code is one code, you are eighteen years old. There are several girls and children in the village who are the same age as you. You can't delay too long. Although you can't get married now, you can settle the matter first. When you and that child are old enough, you will get married first." He paused: "At that time, you happened to graduate from college and start a family and start a career and solve it in one go, so don't cause trouble for the party and the country."
“…”
It’s just that I misjudged the environment of the times.
On Sunday, Zuo Xiaoyou got up early to take a shower, put on a black suit bought from Hong Kong, and his 300-quarter hair was shaped with mousse. He carried a bag of fresh fruits Yan Zhen bought from the vegetable market early in the morning, and rode his bicycle to Wang Fang's home.
The ancestors of Wang Fang's family were scholarly families and had good relationships with many warlords during the Republic of China. Later, because of their support for GD, they entered the government department after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, Wang Fang's father graduated from university and married a mother of a good match. The two families joined forces to spend the darkest decade safely. Now three generations of their ancestors live in the Siheyuan, a unique courtyard. When Zuo Xiaoyou came to the gate of the Siheyuan, Wang Fang was already waiting here.
Today, Wang Fang was wearing a beautiful light yellow dress, with two marijuana braids hitting the shoulders on both sides, which was very youthful and beautiful. Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou coming on his bicycle, he showed a happy smile on his face.
He blinked his eyes and looked at Zuo Xiaoyou's outfit, with a light in his eyes: "Zuo Xiaoyou, you are so handsome today."
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "Is it just handsome today?"
"I used to be handsome, but today I am very handsome." Wang Fang is no worse than anyone else in terms of verbal skills.
Zuo Xiaoyou licked his lips, feeling that in the future, he didn’t know what his family status would be like?
When Wang Fang saw the fruit hanging on the handlebar, she immediately smiled and took the initiative to go forward and took it down: "Come on! You have something to bring, don't do this in the future!"
"..." He said politely, but he was not at all polite to start.
Pushing the bicycle into the yard, Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the courtyard. It was a typical courtyard in the capital. It was not luxurious, it exuded a strong ancient and charming of an old capital. There were several bird cages under the eaves on one side of the yard, and there were several starlings in it. When Zuo Xiaoyou and Wang were put in, they shouted in a quack: "Welcome, welcome."
"Oh, this bird can still talk." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at it and liked it, "Is this your parents raised?"
"No, my grandfather raised it." Wang Fang smiled, pointed to the dozen or so flower pots under the wall on the other side, and said, "My dad likes to raise flowers and plants."
"Oh." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the area of this courtyard, which totaled about five or six hundred square meters. Zuo Xiaoyou was stunned. Such a courtyard would not be able to buy it without tens of millions after thirty years. With the fan-shaped structure that is now planning for family planning, this courtyard will belong to Wang Fang in the future. Even if Wang Fang lies, he can still eat it for the rest of his life.
"Dad, mom, Zuo Xiaoyou is here." Wang Fang took Zuo Xiaoyou to the house opposite. It is worthy of being a family of scholars. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled of ink. There were various calligraphy and paintings, bookcases, and desks hanging on the walls. The color and appearance were too ancient, which was not very consistent with Zuo Xiaoyou's aesthetics.
Although Zuo Xiaoyou likes classical literature very much, when it comes to home furnishings, he prefers European styles, especially tables, chairs, sofas, beds, etc. European styles are not only beautiful, but also very comfortable. Although the Chinese styles are very culturally distinctive, they are too hard and too uncomfortable. Moreover, the biggest disadvantage of the courtyard house is that there is no toilet. If you want to go to the toilet, you can only go outside, which is not as convenient as having a bathroom at home.
A middle-aged man in Zhongshan suit and a middle-aged woman in cheongsam walked out of the house. Seeing these two people, Zuo Xiaoyou subconsciously thought of the Republic of China. The two people in front of him were simply cultural people and the great ladies from the Republic of China period. The man was very handsome, the woman was beautiful, and a very matching pair.
When Zuo Xiaoyou was looking at them, the middle-aged man and woman were also looking at him. When they saw Zuo Xiaoyou's first glance, the two smiled. Not to mention anything else, Zuo Xiaoyou's appearance is definitely the top-notch. Don't blame others for their appearance. Anyone's pursuit of beauty remains unchanged. People who are good-looking can easily leave a good first impression. Obviously, Zuo Xiaoyou is the type with a good first impression or above.
Of course, it is not enough to be good-looking. There are many second-rate people who are good-looking. Just looking at a person's temperament, you can see the same thing as a person. The standing posture of Zuo Xiaoyou is not the kind of military straightness, but it is very chic and casual, exuding the elegant temperament of a literati and scholar, which makes Wang Fang's parents, who are already a descendant of poetry and books, very satisfied.
Fish look for fish and shrimps, and turtles look for turtles. They look for Zuo Xiaoyou.
"Uncle, aunt, hello, I am Wang Fang's classmate, Zuo Xiaoyou." Zuo Xiaoyou bowed: "It's the first time I'm here, I don't know what to bring. Please accept these fruits with you two."
Looking at a large bag of various fruits that were already being held in Wang Fang's hand, Wang Fang's parents smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Student Zuo Xiaoyou is right! When you come here, it's like your own home. Don't be restrained." He paused: "Come here, sit here."
"Okay." Zuo Xiaoyou followed Wang Fang's parents to sit down in the living room. The living room was visiting a set of huanghuali's spring and autumn chairs. Wang Fang personally made a pot of tea, served a plate of peanuts, melon seeds, and candy, and then sat next to Zuo Xiaoyou, facing the gaze of his parents.
"Zuo Xiaoyou, have tea!" Wang Fang's mother smiled.
"Thank you aunt." Zuo Xiaoyou picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea fragrance, and then took a sip. The tea was a little hot, but it smelled very fragrant. Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't help but exclaim: "Good tea, if I guess correctly, it should be West Lake Longjing!"
Wang Fang's mother's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Do you still understand tea?"
"I know a little bit." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said some knowledge about the Tea Classic in a few words, which made Wang Fang's mother more happy and very satisfied.
Seeing that his wife had been conquered by Zuo Xiaoyou, Wang Fang's father had to cough and asked, "Zuo Xiaoyou, who are you in your family? What kind of work do?"
