Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 25 Chapter 25

After receiving the news that everything in the lectures was going on as usual, Chen Muwu's hanging heart was finally reassured.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered another matter, so he turned his head and asked Hu Shi another question: "Also, I would like to ask you, sir, when you were in the meeting room today, did Mr. Zhou Qimeng attend the meeting? "

"Qimeng?" Hu Shi thought for a while, "It seems that he didn't come. I don't know if it's because there is a class at Beijing Normal University, or there are other reasons."

"Okay, thank you sir, I will take my leave now."

Zhou Qimeng, another friend whom his eldest brother Chen Muqiao asked him to visit, also teaches at Bei University.

The reason why Chen Muwu asked Hu Shi about this person was because he still had three catties of winter bamboo shoots to give to him.

Winter bamboo shoots, which are tender and fresh, start to age rapidly as soon as they are dug out of the ground, so they must be eaten as soon as possible.

The six catties of winter bamboo shoots brought by Chen Muwu followed him after two days of traveling from Qihai to Beijing. If they were not handed over to others quickly, they might become a bunch of sticks that could not be chewed.

After leaving Beida, he went back to the horse house in Dongbanqiao, took another three catties of winter bamboo shoots, called a rickshaw, and went straight to Badaowan.

When ordering a foreign car again, Chen Muwu still had a lot of psychological pressure, but the main reason was that he was not familiar with Beijing's geography and didn't know where the address was this time, so he could only turn to others for help.

This time the rickshaw driver was not as talkative as Xiangzi in the morning, but like a dull gourd, pulling the car and running without saying a word.

This gave Chen Muwu plenty of time to think: he has always been curious about how the male owner of this house chose a house so that he could achieve the effect of being far away from the Ministry of Education where he works and the part-time Bei Da at the same time.

Speaking of the elder brother Chen Muqiao's old friend Zhou Qimeng, readers may not know who this person is.

But when it comes to his name, Zhou Zuoren, many people may feel familiar.

And when it comes to Zhou Zuoren's eldest brother, Zhou Shuren, everyone really knows about it.

That's right, through Chen Muwu's elder brother and Mr. Lu Xun's second younger brother, the two irrelevant characters also came into contact.

In 1905, Jiangxi Province sent [-] students to study abroad at public expense, specializing in teachers, commonly known as "Hundred Teachers".

Chen Muwu's eldest brother, Chen Muqiao, and the husband and wife of Ma Yuzao's family, where Chen Muwu is currently renting, were selected together.

Chen Muqiao is from Keyu County, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Ma Yuzao is from Yin County, Zhubo Prefecture. The two prefectures of Ning and Shaoxing have been one family since ancient times.

Therefore, even though Ma Yuzao was seven or eight years older than Chen Muqiao, the two of them who lived in a foreign country quickly became close.

In the second year, Zhou Zuoren followed in the footsteps of his elder brother and traveled to Ben to study abroad. He was the same age as Chen Muqiao, and both were from Shaoxing Mansion, so the two naturally got together.

Among the friends Chen Muqiao made during his study abroad in Ben, the two of them are the best friends.

After returning to China, Ma Yuzao entered Bei University and became the director of the Department of Chinese Studies. Zhou Zuoren also followed in the footsteps of his eldest brother and lived in Beijing.

Chen Muqiao returned to Nanyang Public School because he wanted to find a job close to home.

"A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world", the three friends are separated in two places, but the correspondence between them has never been cut off.

When he learned that his little brother was going to give lectures at Bei University, Chen Muqiao immediately thought of his two good friends, so he sent telegrams to them respectively, asking them to take care of them, and asking if the empty room would allow him My younger brother borrowed for ten days and a half a month.

Zhou Zuoren himself lives in the house bought by his elder brother, and there are many female relatives in the family, so it is inconvenient to arrange.

Fortunately, Ma Yuzao sent an affirmative reply in the call back, so that Chen Muwu in Beijing would not be reduced to the point where he had no place to stay.

"Sir, Badaowan Hutong has arrived."

The coachman's call brought Chen Muwu, who was out of his mind, back to his senses.

He got out of the car with his luggage, paid the fare, and knocked on the black-painted gate of the deep house compound again.

The door opened a small crack, and a teenage child showed his head: "Who are you looking for?"

"My name is Chen Muwu, I'm here to find Mr. Zhou Qimeng."

"Looking for my father? Come in, please."

Only then did he open the door, and Chen Muwu followed into the courtyard.

"Daddy, daddy! Someone is looking for you!"

The child yelled towards the backyard while taking small steps.

"Master Feng'er, keep your voice down, Mr. Da is studying in his room."

A middle-aged woman dressed as a maid spoke in a local accent and whispered admonitions to the child in front of her.

Mr. Big?Could it be Lu Xun?
Chen Muwu thought to himself.

He followed the child to the west wing of the backyard, and saw a rich and handsome middle-aged man who had come to greet him at the door, presumably this man must be Zhou Zuoren.

"Brother Tuesday, my younger brother Chen Muwu is here to visit."

"Like, really like! Hanchen, you really look like you were carved out of the same mold as your elder brother. Come in, please!"

Chen Muwu secretly slandered, and said that my elder brother and I look alike, but you and your elder brother are called alike!
No wonder Chen Muwu said that, if Zhou Zuoren could keep the hair on his bald head, he would be like a Lu Xun number two.

Zhou Zuoren led Chen Muwu to the table of the Eight Immortals, and sat on both sides, one on the left and one on the right.

His wife, Yutai Nobuko, immediately offered Chen Muwu a cup of tea.

Chen Muwu put the burden on the table of the Eight Immortals: "Brother Zhou, this is the three catties of winter bamboo shoots that my elder brother asked me to bring. After two days on the road, I don't know how much of it is still edible. You have to eat it as soon as possible."

Zhou Zuoren ordered his wife to send the winter bamboo shoots to the kitchen, so that they could add another dry-roasted winter bamboo shoots at noon today.

Then he pulled Chen Muwu to talk about the daily life, the recent situation of his elder brother Chen Muqiao, the flood that happened in Jiang Province last year and so on.

The two chattered, and the time soon came to noon.

"Daddy, daddy, let's eat, let's eat!"

Zhou Zuoren's son ran in again, so Zhou Zuoren also sent an invitation to Chen Muwu: "Hanchen, let's have a whole bite at home at noon today."

He said that he could eat casually, but in the Chinese hospitality etiquette, staying at home to eat is the highest treatment.

Chen Muwu knew that this was a sign of intimacy, so he didn't refuse the kindness.

He followed Zhou Zuoren to the restaurant, where there was a small square table with four sets of bowls and chopsticks.

It seems that it should be the main couple, plus the child, plus himself.

Unexpectedly, after the three of them were seated, Zhou Zuoren's wife Taixinko Yu did not show up for a long time.

A few minutes later, seeing no one came, Zhou Zuoren said to his youngest son, "Feng'er, go and call your uncle to eat."

The child got up from the chair and ran to the door.

Chen Muwu was surprised in his heart: So the fourth set of bowls and chopsticks was not prepared for Mrs. Zhou?

Uncle?
Is it really Mr. Lu Xun?
