Lin Zixuan returned to the familiar rhythm of life.

He deliberately reduced his work, stayed at home to accompany Feng Chengcheng, and arranged for his sister Lin Xiaoling's trip to the United States.

In this era, studying in the United States is divided into two types: official fees and self-paid fees, with quota restrictions.

In 1908, the US Congress passed a bill to use this money to help China run schools and fund Chinese students to study in the United States for the refund of China's "Bontaine Indemnity".

The two parties agreed to establish Tsinghua Academy, and since 1909, China has sent 100 international students to the United States every year.

This is the origin of the students studying in the United States in the Boxer Prize. This form of studying in the United States was fixed as a system.

Since 1909, some self-funded international students in the United States have also received funding from the Boxer Revenue, resulting in a rapid increase in the number of Chinese students studying in the United States.

By 1924, the number of people studying in the United States was 1,637, of which 1,075 were born on their own.

Lin Xiaoling graduated from Shanghai Middle and Western Girls' School, which was equivalent to high school graduation in later generations. Middle and Western Girls' School is a church school. For graduates of our school who want to study abroad, they can recommend them to continue their studies at church universities in the United States.

For example, the three sisters of the Song family are like this, and Bingxin, who is studying at Wellesley Women's College in Boston, USA.

Wellesley Women's College has an unwritten rule that men are not allowed to hold any leadership seats in the university, which is a purely women's school.

Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng went to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, a co-educational university.

Lin Xiaoling originally planned to go to Wellesley Women's College, but after she heard that she could go to a co-educational university, she immediately changed her mind and prepared to go to Philadelphia.

Perhaps it was her nearly ten years of life in the Chinese and Western girls' schools that made her tired.

As for what she hasn't thought about studying, she is interested in many subjects, including business and art.

This incident made the family a little more trouble. The older generation had different ideas. They could still accept Lin Xiaoling going to school with foreign women, but they could not accept it if they were mixed with foreign men.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but shake his head. Fortunately, the dormitory of American universities is separated by men and women. If it were dormitory like that of American universities in later generations, it would probably cause parents in the Republic of China to collapse.

With Lin Huiyin as an example, Lin Xiaoling did not give in and was very persistent.

According to her, I decided to go to the United States, and I would go wherever I wanted to go to school.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but mediate in it again. This is a housework, and although it's troublesome, he really cares about each other.

Feng Chengcheng envied this sister-in-law who could study abroad.

She had many ideals when she was in Peking before. She wanted to study abroad and become a female painter.

Because she grew up in the French Concession and had contacted many French people, Paris was the place she always wanted to go. In her imagination, it was the romantic capital, full of artistic atmosphere everywhere.

However, the reality is that she got married, had children, and ran a women's clothing store.

Feng Chengcheng remembered that he had a very terrible fight with his father for going to college. At that time, she was even more stubborn than this sister-in-law.

However, she finally compromised and did not leave Shanghai, but married a man instead.

Sometimes, when I recall the past, I feel a little regretful. I don’t know where all the students from girls’ schools went, whether they continued to pursue their ideals, or compromised with life like myself.

When did you change yourself?

Feng Chengcheng thought about it, perhaps from the time he received his first love letter, perhaps after the two of them slowly got to know each other, or perhaps at some unintentional moment, he saw him walking towards him.

The relationship between the two is like other men and women. Instead of deliberately creating surprises, they are quite dull.

In the past two years, she has watched him step by step on the road to success, his circle has continued to expand and his influence has increased day by day.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a talented man from Shanghai, a world-renowned novelist, a leading figure in the literary world, and even Americans come to China to interview him.

But in Feng Chengcheng's eyes, the man she married was the same as when she first met him, and there was no change.

In Shanghai, many women envy her and think she is very happy.

Are you happy?

Feng Chengcheng stroked his abdomen and looked at the man sitting beside him reading a book. She was very satisfied with this kind of life.

Maybe this is happiness.

As for the distant Paris, it would be great to imagine it in a dream. Everything in front of her is the most real. It may take several years for her sister-in-law to understand this truth.

Although the scenery in the distance is beautiful, it is not as warm and comfortable as the home.

In May, the weather is warm and sunny.

In the small garden behind Lin Mansion, Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng were sitting on the bench, Feng Chengcheng leaned on Lin Zixuan, while Lin Zixuan was reading with a book.

The sun shines on them through the treetops, and in the distance there are a few butterflies flying among the flowers.

He didn't know that his wife was recalling the past, but he just habitually held her hand and looked at her lazy appearance.

After sitting for a while, he helped Feng Chengcheng up and the two of them walked slowly around the small garden.

According to the doctor's instructions, pregnant women should exercise regularly, which will be beneficial to the fetus and mother.

The two of them were talking about family trivial matters while walking, mainly about Lin Xiaoling.

This sister is a bit of a headache. Lin Zixuan doesn't know what will happen to her when she arrives in the United States.

Feng Chengcheng said not to worry too much. When he arrived in the United States, his sister-in-law would gradually become sensible after she lived independently.

This is her experience. Thinking about her past willful and outrageous appearance, now she only finds it funny. After getting married and having children, everything becomes different.

This means that you are mature.

The two walked around and continued to sit on the bench, snuggling together, and Lin Zixuan began to read aloud in a whisper.

It is said that this is prenatal education. It has been proven by Western doctors that children in the abdomen can hear outside sounds, and children who have prenatal education will be particularly smart.

Feng Chengcheng thought that her husband was talking nonsense, but he did not refuse. It would be great if the two of them were together like this.

This story was written by Lin Zixuan. Although it is a children's story, it sounds very interesting and even she is fascinated by it.

The story is called "Shuke and Beta", which tells the adventures of two little mice.

She didn't know how her husband could come up with so many novel and interesting stories, perhaps it was a talent.

Because the child is about to be born, Lin Zixuan thought of fairy tales. Children's literature in this era is just beginning, so he is planning to run a children's magazine to write out fairy tales from later generations.

It is for both my own children and for other Chinese children. A childhood without fairy tales is unimaginable.
