Chapter 1475: Chapter 1475: Life is Like a Dream 4
Zhu Ling was talking with Father Lu, chiming in: “This is what they call life being but a dream, and the world being ever-changing.”
“Have both of you elders returned to resu your work?” Feng Qingxue asked.
Zhu Ling had already answered this question to Father Lu, but since Feng Qingxue was not at ho then, he repeated, “We haven’t fully resud work. We still have to write regular self-criticism reports and accept supervision. We’ve returned to be in charge of so translation work for now. After we deeply recognize our own mistakes, the nation will then consider arranging for us to continue our work.”
Translation work? Yes, Zhu Ling and Wenyue had studied abroad early on and are renowned contemporary translators, having published many translations of foreign classics. They have a prestigious reputation in the cultural sphere.
Feng Qingxue nodded. She figured that it wouldn’t be so easy for the elders to resu their work.
So old professors at the school who could still teach seed to have gotten their jobs back, but their situation was similar to that of Zhu Ling and his wife. The country was in dire need of talent, so those with lighter cases got to reflect on their mistakes before being recalled. Many teachers were extrely cautious while lecturing, not daring to speak their minds loudly for fear of being turned in by the students and the remaining few in the school.
“It’s good you could return. You can’t get fat with just one bite; let’s take it step by step.”
After listening to Feng Qingxue’s words, Zhu Ling nodded slightly and said, “Your dad just said the sa thing. He ntioned that the situation is gradually improving. Although not significantly, there’s always a ray of hope, right? And we’re in good health, we can wait.”
“Just thinking about being able to pick up the pen and do what I love fills with enthusiasm,” Wenyue continued.
Father Lu cautioned, “Still, be careful not to give anyone leverage against you; there’s no telling how many eyes are on you, and one little dissatisfaction could be an excuse to drag you out for a walk.”
Dragged out for a walk? The words are crude, but the aning is crystal clear.
Just today, shortly after getting off the train, the elders saw a parade for public shaming. They didn’t dare to linger and hurried through the blizzard to the Lu Family just once to drop off so of their luggage, and then rushed to their own place.
Speaking of a place to stay, it was uncertain whether theirs was still available. They needed to check in first and transfer their food and oil rations back.
Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, “Teachers Zhu and Wenyue, please have a al before you go, I’ll cook.”
“No, no, we were sowhat asured in getting off the train. Any more delay may arouse suspicion. Once we’ve checked in, we won’t be able to co see you, and you shouldn’t co to see us either, to avoid getting you involved. Just keep in mind what we’ve left here. Once we’re settled, we’ll co and take it secretly.”
After Wenyue finished, not giving the Lu Family ti to respond, she and Zhu Ling quickly left with the luggage that wouldn’t raise suspicion.
Feng Qingxue saw them to the door, watching their thin figures disappear into the swirling snow.
Lu Jiang saw his wife standing alone in the snow from the car and hastened to have the driver stop. He exited the vehicle, dashed over to hold an umbrella for her, “Didn’t you see the snowfall? Why didn’t you wear sothing thicker and bring an umbrella?”
“Ajiang? You’re back?” Seeing her husband, Feng Qingxue felt an unexpected surge of joy.
Lu Jiang pulled her inside, “Today is New Year’s Day, a holiday, and if not for an urgent task, I would have returned last night. I heard there’s a new movie out at the cinema, so I bought two tickets. After I drop off my stuff, I’ll take you to watch the movie to make up for the one we missed back then. Just the two of us, we won’t bring the kids; let them eat and sleep at ho.”
… I owe two chapters, covering my face, it wasn’t on purpose, there was a power outage, and my laptop battery was low; the claim that it stands by for twelve hours is misleading, I’ll make up for it earnestly tomorrow.
