Chapter 298 Zhu Lin's Doubts

I didn’t talk much with Lin Yuan. After all, we weren’t that familiar with each other.

After a brief chat, Li Changhe returned home.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard Zhu Lin's giggling coming from the room.

Li Changhe walked into the house and saw that there was one more person in the house.

It was Gong Xue who had just returned from the Magic City.

"Xiaoxue is back so soon?"

Seeing Gong Xue sitting on the sofa, Li Changhe asked with some surprise.

"She hid back!"

"I was always forced to go on blind dates at home. In order to avoid them, I came back early!"

At this moment, Zhu Lin smiled and talked about the reason why Gong Xue came back.

Gong Xue's face was full of shyness and she was too embarrassed to look at Li Changhe.

"sister"

"Okay, I won't say anything. There's nothing to be shy about."

"But judging from your age, you are indeed not young anymore. Is it time to find someone?"

"Why don't you tell me your standards? If that doesn't work, ask your brother-in-law to introduce you to someone."

"There are still many single students in Peking University."

Zhu Lin asked Gong Xue enthusiastically.

She remembered that many of Li Changhe's classmates were single. Nowadays, students from Peking University were considered to be among the most outstanding unmarried young people in the country.

“I haven’t even thought about these things yet.”

"I'd like to wait two years!"

Gong Xue said in a low voice at this time.

“My classmates.”

Li Changhe was also a little surprised when he heard what Zhu Lin said, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What happened to your classmates?"

Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe in confusion.

Li Changhe shook his head.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, but they are not very suitable for Xiaoxue."

Li Changhe didn’t think that Gong Xue was not worthy of them, but based on his current observations and his understanding of the future.

Li Changhe felt a little sad in his heart. Even though he tried very hard to guide many classmates, these classmates were all people with strong minds and would not be easily disturbed by external factors.

"You are such a nasty person, you always speak half the words!"

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Zhu Lin said to Li Changhe with some dissatisfaction.

Li Changhe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Some things can't be said. Anyway, I think my classmates are not suitable for Xiaoxue."

"Sister Linlin, I think what my brother-in-law said may have his truth. After all, we don't know his classmates well."

"Besides, I really don't have any intention of finding a partner right now. I've only been at the Beijing Film Studio for a few days. I can't find a partner and get married so soon."

"I always feel that it is very troublesome to make a movie after getting married. The sister Liu Xiaoqing who lives with me in my dormitory."

"It's like this now. Her husband comes to the factory to look for her every now and then. The two of them quarrel and fight. After every quarrel, Xiaoqing cries in the dormitory. It's so pitiful to see her."

Gong Xue said to Zhu Lin in a low voice at this time.

After listening to this, Zhu Lin also sighed.

"Ugh!"

"The traditional concept among ordinary people is that the spouse should stay at home to take care of the husband and children. For someone like Liu Xiaoqing, she would go out to shoot a movie for several months. If her husband has more traditional ideas, he would definitely not be able to stand it."

"It would be even more unbearable if there were some intimate scenes in the movie."

Li Changhe also spoke at this time.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. Filming a movie takes several months."

"If this person were to date someone, wouldn't that be harming that person?"

"So I think it's better not to talk about it. Let's talk about it in two years."

"Anyway, the country now advocates late marriage and late childbearing, so I am responding to the country's call."

Gong Xue said with a smile at this time.

After hearing this, Zhu Lin was a little stunned.

Why did these words sound so familiar to her?
I think she told her mother the same thing two years ago.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let Xiaoxue handle her personal life on her own. We will help her when she can't handle it."

"Since Xiaoxue is back today, let's go out for dinner and give her a welcome."

Li Changhe quickly changed the subject at this time.

"Okay, let's go out to eat!"

The three of them then packed up and walked out.

At night, Gong Xue did not leave, but stayed in the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

However, in the master bedroom, Zhu Lin leaned on Li Changhe's arms and asked curiously, "Changhe, I'm still curious, why don't you want to introduce Xiaoxue to your classmates?"

“I think they’re pretty good.”

"Like Lao Tao, Hai Wen, Ying Tao, aren't they all single now? Their ages aren't too far apart either. What do you think is inappropriate about them?"

Seeing that Zhu Lin was still confused, Li Changhe sighed helplessly.

"It's because they are so nice that I don't dare introduce them to Xiaoxue."

"Hmm? I'm a little confused by what you said. Because they are so nice, you don't introduce them to each other?"

"Why, Xiaoxue is not worthy of such a good Peking University student?"

Zhu Lin asked somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"There is no such thing as worthy or unworthy."

"My classmates may seem to be doing well now, but their future is uncertain."

"Just like in previous years, don't those college students have bright futures?"

Li Changhe hinted at Zhu Lin.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin fell into deep thought.

"Reform has always been a process of change that is never smooth, but a collision of various forces."

"Among these people, there are conservatives and radicals. Some feel that they need to learn from the West, while others feel that they need to resist Western erosion. They have different positions and goals." "So the next few years are destined to be years of ideological upheaval. In fact, including the top leaders, will be influenced by many factors."

"Peking University has always been a place of open-mindedness, and this shift in the spirit of reform is particularly evident at Peking University."

"My classmates are now fascinated by state affairs, making suggestions and writing inspiring articles."

"Take Ying Tao for example. His father is now the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and concurrently serves as the director of the China Y Policy Research Office."

"With the convenience of his status, Yingtao is now working with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, various universities, and a group of people from all over the country to conduct research on rural issues."

"They held small meetings in various places in the capital, and discussed various things at the meetings."

In those days, when students held meetings, they did not just eat, drink and have fun like in later generations. They were real meetings where they seriously discussed national affairs.

Everyone came up to express their opinions, and then everyone argued and discussed with each other, compared data, and finally discussed a suitable point of view.

Li Changhe was invited by Deng Yingtao to participate once, but he no longer participated afterwards.

He has also witnessed the passion of college students in this era.

"Do you think this is bad?"

Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"From now on, it is certainly a good thing, but I am afraid that some people will be greedy for more."

"Just like the academic societies at Peking University before, it's a good thing to form a literature society or an economics society."

"But everything has a limit. Within this limit, it is a good thing! But beyond this limit, it may not be a good thing."

Li Changhe shook his head helplessly.

"You mean, they'll discuss it more intensely?"

"It's hard to say now, but reform is actually a matter that involves a lot of things. Even if it is reform, how should it be reformed? To what extent should it be reformed? Many people have different ideas in mind."

"Many students at Peking University are actually still too young and lack social experience, which is a disadvantage for them."

"Especially those who are unmarried. They have insisted on not getting married for so many years. They must have their own considerations in their hearts. Xiaoxue is actually not a good match for them."

"Their thinking and understanding of the world are not on the same level, which is not a good thing."

Li Changhe explained to Zhu Lin tactfully.

There will be a saying in the future that three views are not in line. In fact, it is still the case now. At Peking University, especially among Li Changhe’s classmates, there are probably not many who can share the same three views as Gong Xue.

After listening to this, Zhu Lin suddenly looked at Li Changhe with concern.

"Changhe, why do I feel like you dislike me?"

If Xiaoxue doesn't share the same ideas and concepts as them, then wouldn't she and Li Changhe be even more incompatible?
"I'm different from them. I'm an ordinary person!"

"Besides, I don't plan to pursue a career in politics in the future."

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin sighed, then leaned into Li Changhe's arms and began to think deeply.

My own man, it sounds like he has given up a lot.

In fact, in the past two years at the Film Academy, she has gained a lot of knowledge, including an understanding of the system.

Lao Tian and Lao Chen sometimes like to discuss Li Changhe's future.

According to both people, she sometimes felt it was too fake.

But sometimes she felt that what the two people said made sense. After all, she knew more about many things than Tian Zhuangzhuang and the others.

Even if we put aside his identity as a writer, Zhu Lin felt that the top management would not turn a blind eye to Li Changhe's performance in the Economics Department in the past two years.

What's more, he has close contact with Director Liao.

Unfortunately, Lao Tian and the others would never have imagined that Li Changhe’s future had already been determined.

"Then according to what you said, Xiaoxue and them are indeed not a good match."

If Li Changhe hadn't told her about this kind of thing, she would never have thought of it, nor would she have considered it.

When people get married nowadays, they don't consider whether their ideas are compatible or not.

She could not have imagined that beneath the vigorous social changes, there would be all kinds of storms hidden.

Now it seems that my man's life is very glorious when he works hard outside, but it is also full of difficulties and hardships.

"Changhe, you must remember this in the future. Don't always strive for advancement. Even if we are ordinary workers, as long as we are safe and sound, I will be satisfied."

Zhu Lin said in a low voice beside Li Changhe at this moment.

Li Changhe smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

But despite saying this, Li Changhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Peking University is a huge springboard for him, but it is also a huge shackle.

Whether we can break this shackles in the future depends on how cautious and careful we are.

The days passed and soon it was time for school to start.

On this day, Li Changhe returned to Peking University again, and entering the school gate also meant that Li Changhe had entered his junior year this year.

For contemporary college students, the third year of college means that the basic courses have almost been completed, and the next step is advanced study and practical courses.

"Long River"

"Changhe, why do I feel like you've gained weight during the Chinese New Year?"

Li Changhe went straight to the dormitory of their Department of Political Science and Economics and walked in.

In the dormitory, Haiwen and others greeted Li Changhe enthusiastically.

"Brothers, I copied the class schedule back."

At this time, a young man walked into the dormitory and shouted loudly.

"Look, this year, we added a Western Economics course. The school is really bold. It has made Western Economics a regular course!"

"Zhang Wei, show it to me!"

Haiwen curiously took the schedule from Zhang Wei.

As expected, Western economics was officially listed as a teaching course.

You have to know that before this, Western economics was a critical course, and some teachers only instilled some Western economics ideas into them privately.

Otherwise, you can go and ask for advice privately like Li Changhe did.

This is the first time in the country that a course has been set up so openly.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, shouldn't you be the president of our Peking University Student Union this semester?"

Li Changhe asked Zhang Wei curiously at this time.

　There is no need to guess about Lin Yuan, he is just a fictional character I made up. Many subsequent characters will be fictional, so there is no need to guess!
