Lu Qingman said, "I was also inspired by Xiao Na's wedding last time. I heard you say that after she married Xu Gengnian, Xu Gengnian's son was very supportive and very formally thanked you. This shows that Xiao Xu loves his father very much and is very concerned about his father's life in his old age. I was thinking that since our two fathers' situations are similar to Xu Gengnian's, as their children, shouldn't we also consider their happiness in their old age? Although both of us are very filial to the two elders and want to take good care of them, after all, we can't be close and considerate to them, so … "
When Li Rui heard this, he understood what she meant. He stopped walking and raised his hand to slap his forehead. He cried out in surprise and dismay, "Aiya, why didn't I think of this? Why didn't I think of this? I'm really ashamed of being a son. "Lu Qingman giggled and said," You've forgotten about your father after marrying a wife. " Li Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "I understand what you mean. You want to remarry for our two fathers. I have no objections to this and support it with both hands and feet, but I'm afraid that there's a problem with our two fathers. Your father's identity is special and it's very difficult for him to find a wife of equal social status. I don't think he has time to date. My father's thinking is old-fashioned and probably won't be able to accept remarrying in his old age. I'm afraid he won't agree. " Lu Qingman said, "Then we need to help them think about it. Otherwise, what do they need us for? We need to help them think about it and then help them find a wife. If we can't find a suitable one at the moment, we'll find one eventually … "
The young couple planned as they strolled. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, they decided to go home and rest.
The two of them turned and walked back the way they came. They had only taken a few steps when a middle-aged woman in her fifties walked towards them. She caught a glimpse of Li Rui and saw that he looked familiar. She was slightly stunned. Li Rui also saw her and instantly recognized her. He hurriedly stopped and greeted, "Teacher Zhou." The woman smiled and said, "Is it really Li Rui?" Li Rui said, "It's me. Hehe, Teacher Zhou, what a coincidence. Are you also here for a stroll?"
The Teacher Zhou that Li Rui mentioned was none other than his class teacher and English teacher, Zhou Pingli.
Zhou Pingli was from the northern district of the city. She taught English at City No. 12 Middle School in the district. She was not tall, less than 1.6 meters. Her body was thin, and she was used to keeping her hair short and curly. Her appearance was average, and she suffered from chronic rhinitis. Regardless of whether it was winter or summer, she would sniffle. It was especially serious during winter. She always had tissue paper at hand to wipe her nose. She didn't judge others, but as a teacher and form teacher, she was very responsible and strict with her students. If the students didn't listen to her, not only would she reprimand them severely, sometimes she would even hit them.
Of course, these characteristics and deeds didn't leave a deep impression on Li Rui. To Li Rui, the thing that left the deepest impression on him, even engraved in his life, was when she forcefully separated him from his deskmate, Ding Yijing, when he was in the third year of junior high. At that time, Li Rui already had feelings for Ding Yijing. He liked her so much that he couldn't wait to be with her all the time. Under such circumstances, Zhou Pingli separated the two of them. One could imagine how much resentment he had. Even now, that resentment still appeared in his mind from time to time. Whenever he thought of Zhou Pingli, he couldn't help but hate her. He hated her for destroying his first love with her own hands.
Now, Li Rui suddenly bumped into his former form teacher and the "enemy" who destroyed his first love when he was taking a stroll in the park. Even though he had already completely conquered Ding Yijing and could continue their relationship, he still couldn't help but feel awkward. Even though he was polite and respectful to her on the surface, who knew how many times he had cursed her in his heart.
Zhou Pingli said, "Yeah, I came out for a stroll … Hehe." She glanced at Lu Qingman beside him as she spoke.
Li Rui introduced her, "This is my lover, Lu Qingman." He then introduced her to Lu Qingman, "This is my middle school form teacher, Teacher Zhou."
The two girls nodded and smiled as they greeted each other.
Zhou Pingli turned her gaze back to Li Rui's face and said, "I heard that you're doing quite well now. You're working at the Municipal Party Committee and even became a secretary for the municipal leader. Is that true?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not doing quite well. I'm just messing around. Hehe, Teacher Zhou, who did you hear this from?" Zhou Pingli said, "Your old classmate. You were in the same class in middle school. Jia Yuanyuan. You should still remember her, right?"
Li Ruixin's head suddenly became numb. Jia Yuanyuan? How could it be her? When did she meet this old form teacher and even talk about her? But thinking about it, it wasn't strange. After all, they were all from the northern district of the city. They usually lived and worked in the northern district of the city. It was normal for them to bump into each other and chat occasionally. She had even seen this Teacher Zhou on the streets a few times before. She just didn't go up and greet her. She said, "Oh, I remember. Of course I remember."
Zhou Pingli praised, "Not bad. It's not bad to be the secretary of a city leader. At least in the city, you can do well and have a bright future. If you develop well, you might even be able to become a deputy mayor. Compared to those old classmates who got into Peking University and Tsinghua University, that's not bad."
Lu Qingman, who was beside her, smiled and didn't say a word. When she heard what Zhou Pingli said, she was secretly amused. She thought to herself, Teacher Zhou, you're underestimating my husband. He doesn't need to develop much in the future. It's not a problem for him to become a mayor. If he develops well, he might even become the mayor's secretary.
Li Rui smiled and said, "I'm counting on your auspicious words." He was wondering if he should say something else. After all, he didn't have any feelings for her and had always held a grudge against her. There was really nothing to talk about with her.
But Zhou Pingli didn't know that she wanted to continue and said, "When I was teaching you all, I could tell that although you weren't the best in your class, you had a high EQ and knew how to conduct yourself. The teachers and classmates all liked you. At that time, I was sure that you would develop well in the future. Look at you now. I wasn't wrong. You've developed so well! Back then, your class had more than 60 students. Now, you're the best, right? What's the name of the one who got into Tsinghua University after your class … Look, I've forgotten his name. He's a classic example of someone who only developed his IQ but not his EQ. I didn't even remember his name. Even if he graduated from Tsinghua University, he's still working for others. He won't be able to make it in society. He's also a failure.
He's much worse than you! "Li Rui was secretly amused. He thought to himself, Teacher Zhou, if you want to promote me, then just do it. You don't have to step on the top student from back then. He graduated from Tsinghua University. He's definitely not worse than me now.
After Zhou Pingli finished speaking, she said, "Give me your phone number. Maybe I'll need your help in the future."
Regarding her small request, Li Rui did not feel that it was too much and was willing to agree. In the future, if she really came to him to ask for help, he would also be willing to help. After all, she was his teacher for three years, and there was a teacher-student relationship between them. As a student helping his teacher, even if it was not a matter of course, it was absolutely necessary. As for his little bit of "personal grudge" with her, if he really wanted to talk about it, it was just a joke. Of course, this was based on the fact that he had already renewed his relationship with Ding Yijing.
After taking down Li Rui's phone number, Zhou Pingli said goodbye to the young couple and walked away with light steps.
Li Rui turned around and watched her leave. He thought to himself, Teacher Zhou, oh Teacher Zhou. If you knew that Ding Yijing and I were together again, and even better than when we were in middle school, what would you think?
"What's going on with that Jia Yuanyuan?"
Lu Qingman suddenly asked. Li Rui looked at her in shock. Even though he felt a little guilty, he still asked calmly, "What do you mean what's going on?" Lu Qingman asked with a smile that wasn't a smile, "What's your relationship with her? Why would she mention you to your old class teacher? Why didn't she mention anyone else but you? "Li Rui raised his hand and lightly smacked her butt." You're jealous? You're really asking for a beating! "Lu Qingman laughed." I was just casually asking. How am I jealous? Hurry up and tell me. " Li Rui said, "Jia Yuanyuan is my old classmate. Our relationship is okay. We've been talking since we were young. I was also puzzled just now, why would she mention me to Teacher Zhou if she wasn't coming? Maybe it's because I'm doing the best among my old classmates in the city, so she mentioned me. I met her at a recent class reunion. "
This reason was passable. Lu Qingman couldn't smell any more ambiguity in this matter, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Li Rui held her hand and walked towards the entrance of the park. He smiled bitterly in his heart. His wife was too sensitive. She only heard Jia Yuanyuan's name, so she asked carefully. It seemed like he couldn't let her hear any other woman's name in the future. Otherwise, trouble would come uninvited.
The couple walked out of the park and went back the way they came. When they arrived at Shengjing Hotel, they got into the BMW that Li Rui had parked there. They drove the rest of the way.
