Chapter 373 The Secret That Can't Be Said
With Jiang Guangzhi joining the dinner, the atmosphere became lively and friendly. The family was happy. The topic focused on Fu Ping'an. The elders' eager eyes were also on him. It really fits the saying that the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law and liked her more and more. Now, not only Gu Tsinghua's parents, but also her uncles and aunts also liked her.
The uncle said: "Little Fu, aren't you going to Jiang Da? Why have you become a classmate with Jiang Guangzhi again?"
Fu Ping'an explained: "When I was in my sophomore year, the school originally arranged for me to be an exchange student at Cornell University in the United States, but later I failed to make it because of some reasons. The relevant parties probably wanted to compensate me, so they arranged for Fu Longzhi to go to Liang Zan. They went to Liang Zan inexplicably for half a year. I can still repair a diesel engine now."
Gu Qinghua acted like a little fan and asked with his chin on his cheek: "Why do you repair diesel engines when you learn special operations? Could it be that you are Liang Zan Lanxiang?"
Everyone smiled kindly.
Fu Ping'an said: "I learned paratrooper combat vehicle maintenance, and diesel engines are similar."
My aunt sighed, "It would be great if I went to the United States, and I would be able to get to know our Tsinghua University earlier."
Gu Qinghua said: "Aunt, we met in our third year of high school." As he said that, he talked about how Fu Ping'an talked to him at night and how he overcame all kinds of difficulties and studied hard. She told the past. When she heard the scene of the young Fu Ping'an pulling his paralyzed father climbing the hill on a snowy night, Gu's mother quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.
"How come the kid who works so hard fails the exam?" the uncle sighed.
"If you don't fail the exam, the army will lose a good soldier and you won't win a local conflict. The world pattern today may be different." Jiang Guangzhi said, "A tough guy gets up from wherever he falls. This is what I admire most. Xiao Fu's merits in the army are enough for him to live for the rest of his life. He can be admitted to the military academy, but he chose to retire and return to the local area to take the college entrance examination again. If I remember correctly, Xiao Fu, you are admitted to Jiangda University with the first place in the science entrance examination in Jiangdong Province in 2010."
Fu Ping'an nodded: "The repetition is still effective."
My aunt fussed: "Our Tsinghua University is also the top scorer in the college entrance examination in 2008. How many points are you given, Xiao Fu?"
Fu Ping'an said: "The score for upgrading is higher, 813 points."
Qiao Yusen said: "The total score of the paper is only 750, do you get 813 points?"
Fu Ping'an said: "My aunt asked about the upgrade score. I got 707 points, plus 15% of the policy bonus, which is indeed higher than the total score."
Qiao Yusen didn't say anything anymore. 707 was already the highest score among the high scores, and even if there were no extra points, he was the top scorer.
My aunt said, "Niu Niu, I remember you got 720 points in 2008?"
Gu Qinghua said: "Yes, but I am a liberal arts student, and the difficulty of the test paper in 2008 is slightly worse than that in 2010. The liberal arts admission line is also 20 to 30 points lower than the science admission line, so Ping An is a real academic master."
My aunt said, "It's great. The couple are both top scorers in the college entrance examination. Alas, Xiao Fu, why haven't you been to Peking University?"
Fu Ping'an said: "At that time, my family was in trouble. Jiangda had a scholarship of 200,000 yuan. I could also choose majors at will. And I was close to home, so I chose Jiangda."
Everyone sighed. It would be a pity to give up Jiang Da for a mere 200,000 yuan. If they had not had these achievements, they might think that Fu Ping'an was short-sighted and now they were just regretting him.
Gu Qinghua still spoke for him: "There is nothing wrong with Shangjiang University. The History Department of Jiangda is at the forefront of the country. Ping An's mentor Shao Wenyuan is former president of Jiangda. His influence in the academic community is at the level of Taishan Beidou and a national teacher."
Everyone nodded seriously again. This is true. So what if you go to Peking University? It would be better to find a good mentor. You can go to the next level. Fu Ping'an can walk into Zhongnanhai at the age of 27, but it is not because of a good mentor.
A first-class hero and model, a top scorer in the college entrance examination, a net worth of 10 billion yuan, and a young and promising person. In ancient times, it was simply a constellation from heaven and earth, or a combination of Wenqu Star and Wuqu Star.
The elders were very concerned about Fu Ping'an, and my uncle suggested very considerately that it was not enough to have business and academic achievements alone. Nowadays, I had to protect myself. I also pretended to be mysterious and winked: "You understand."
Now Gu’s father realized that the conflict between Fu Ping’an and Dongming’s family was probably not just a traffic accident. Perhaps it was a game of the forces behind it. This son-in-law is not simple.
"Ping'an has a military background, are you afraid of those villains' open and secret arrows?" The old lady said righteously, as if she had already recognized her grandson-in-law, and no longer called Xiaofu, and changed her name to Ping'an, a more friendly one.
Jiang Guangzhi said: "Xiao Fu retired from active service. Now he is a reserve service. I remember when you went to school, you had the rank of sergeant?"
Fu Ping'an said: "Report to the leader, my military rank has been adjusted after graduating from university, and I am now a reserve captain."
Jiang Guangzhi said: "A twenty-seven-year-old captain is just right, and this is how it is after graduating from military academy."
My uncle said: "I mean, it's better to be in politics."
Fu Ping'an said: "Uncle, I am still studying. If possible, I have to follow my supervisor to continue my doctoral degree. I will not consider it for the time being."
Gu’s father said: “The intrigue is not suitable for Xiao Fu. Both of them are engaged in academic research, I think it’s good.”
The old lady made the final decision: "After graduation, they are transferred to Nanjing, go to university to be a teacher, teach and educate people, and have many students all over the world. This is the right way."
The dinner ended in a happy and peaceful atmosphere. I didn’t drink much wine, but it seemed that everyone was getting high, the meal money was not settled, and the boss gave her a free farewell. The farewell session was the most touching, because Fu Ping'an was about to fly back tomorrow. Qiao Yusen blushed and threatened Fu Ping'an with the alcohol, saying that I will leave this sister to you, you must be kind to her and protect her for the rest of your life. Before he finished speaking, he covered his face and left.
"Sen Sen and her sister are in deep feelings." Uncle and Fu Ping'an shook hands and refused to let go. "Come to Nanjing when you have time, I will arrange it."
My aunt also said, "Yes, let your uncle take you around, Confucius Temple, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Xuanwu Lake, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in Nanjing, there are many scenic spots and many universities. Let's settle in Nanjing in the future."
After saying goodbye, they got in the car and left. On the way back, Gu's father asked with great enthusiasm: "When will you two prepare for the ceremony? You have to prepare in advance."
Fu Ping'an looked at Gu Tsinghua, and the latter said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it when you graduate."
When he returned home, Gu's father offered Yongle blue and white porcelain vases. Gu's mother was busy making the bed for Fu Ping'an, saying that if you could build a camp bed in the study, you should not spend money to open a hotel outside. This is also a sign of accepting Fu Ping'an. How could parents not know that their prospective son-in-law would sneak into their daughter's room in the middle of the night and turn a blind eye.
Fu Ping'an said that the hotel had been opened and the room fee was paid. It was a pity that he couldn't stay. His uncle and aunt gave up and asked his daughter to take Fu Ping'an to the hotel, and even told him to come back early.
Back at the hotel, Fu Ping'an finally had the opportunity to talk about that. He started with his injury and went around for a few turns and finally got to the point.
"You mean, you made a girl pregnant, but you had nothing to do with each other." Gu Qinghua was so calm that he was terrible.
Fu Ping'an nodded with his teeth and said, "Although it's outrageous, it's true."
Gu Qinghua said: "The speed of the bullet is several hundred meters per second. Will the hot bullet carry live sperm? That's not a fried egg?"
Fu Ping'an was in a cold sweat. Although he was right in this matter, the matter itself was unreasonable, and no matter how he explained it, it became a quibble.
Gu Qinghua thought for a while and said, "After the gun battle, did you two go to the hospital at the same time?"
Fu Ping'an said: "The same operating room, the same surgeon."
Gu Qinghua said: "That's reasonable. There are many unknown situations that may occur, such as surgical instrument pollution. Field hospitals are not as particular as ordinary hospitals. These details cannot be verified. What are the plans of the woman?"
Fu Ping'an did not dare to say it was not a field hospital, but only said that Luo Jin had made up his mind to give birth to raise himself.
"There's nothing to do. You can't force someone else to have an abortion." Gu Qinghua sighed, "Congratulations, you're going to be a father."
Fu Ping'an smiled bitterly: "This is not a joy. It's simply a flock of people. Fortunately, you can understand it. If it were someone else, I really couldn't imagine it."
Gu Qinghua said: "Who said I am considerate? I am jealous."
Judging from her attitude, she doesn't look angry. Gu Qinghua is kind in her bones. She can understand Fu Ping'an's helplessness and Luo Jin's persistence. Besides, she doesn't want to have children. Someone left a genetic bloodline for Fu Ping'an. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
"Have you told your parents?" Gu Qinghua asked.
"I haven't dared to say it yet." Fu Ping'an said, "It seems that you didn't tell your family either. Your father is urging us to get married."
Gu Qinghua said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Fu Ping'an sent Gu Tsinghua home again.
When Gu Qinghua entered the door, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, as if he had something to say, and he felt panic in his heart, afraid that he would force himself to get married, have children, and go back to Nanjing to find a job.
But what she expected did not happen, and the father spoke first: "Tsinghua, my father is very happy today. My daughter is going to get married and become a real adult. Some things must be told to you." As he said that, he glanced at his mother affectionately.
The mother held her father's hand and nodded: "Yes, I can't hide it from you for the rest of my life, it's too selfish."
Gu Qinghua became anxious: "My parents, what's going on? It's so serious."
The mother said: "Your father and I have been married for many years and have never had children. I have been to the hospital for examination. It is my problem and I cannot have children..."
The father continued: "So we decided to adopt a child. In that era, the adoption system was not as perfect as it is now. We went to the hospital to adopt you. An acquaintance said that a female college student who was pregnant with an illegitimate child would not be able to support her and she would give her away..."
Gu Qinghua's intuition was dizzy and fell on the sofa. He actually adopted him. For many years, he has always thought that he was the happiest daughter in the world. He has the most beloved and reasonable parents in the world. How could such a good parent be a relative?
She calmed down and said, "My parents, you will always be my parents, and I will always be your daughters."
The family hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
After crying, the father said, "I have discussed with your mother that you have the right to find your biological parents, but there were few clues left back then. Your biological mother was unwilling to reveal her identity. After all, that was not a very glorious thing... There was only one note in your cradle."
As he said that, my father got up and took out an old book from the top of the bookshelf of the study. He opened it. There was a piece of paper in the book. The yellowed piece of paper was placed in front of Gu Qinghua, with two lines of words written on it: The above is the beginning of the spring. The following is the birth date, but it is not consistent with Gu Qinghua's birthday.
"We are afraid that your biological mother will regret it, so we come to ask for someone in a few years, so we changed the date of birth when we registered for you." My father said, "In fact, your birthday is April 15th."
Gu Qinghua was stupid. April 15th, wasn’t that Fu Ping’an’s birthday? She also knew that Fu Ping’an was adopted, could it be... No, there is no such coincidence in the world.
