Chapter 2 The Star Chaser

"Finished eating?"

"I'm done. ”

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. ”

"Will I cook it for you every day in the future?"

"Not good. ”

"Why not?"

"You're busy, I'll cook it for you when you go to school later. ”

It was a bright noon, the sun shone through the camphor tree in front of the window, and the slender and soft girl was eating white fungus soup with a spoonful, and there was a light like two bays of clear water in her eyes.

Until he finished eating, Zhang Yunqi put away the thermos box and smiled at first sight: "Are you going home?"

Zhang Yunqi also smiled: "I'm going home." ”

Hatsumi got out of bed and went to the bathroom with his clothes in his arms.

The ponytail rises and falls, slender and slender, Zhang Yunqi looked at the girl's back, when he was in school before, he always seemed quiet and silent at first sight, but at this time, Zhang Yunqi could feel the happiness in her eyes, but Zhang Yunqi still had palpitations, what happened that day has been constantly replaying in his mind like a movie.

When he rushed into the hospital that day, he had already fainted, covered in blood, and several nurses skillfully opened the stretcher to catch the person, and the long hair with a thin straight hair was stuck to his face with dried blood.

His mother knew about this, and rushed with Jiang Feng almost in the back, when Jiang Feng came to the front to see, tears suddenly welled up, and screamed bitterly! At the moment before the flat car was pushed into the emergency room, his mother took the doctor's arm and begged: "You must save her, she is only 17 years old!

The white iron door slammed shut.

The red light on the door was on, the words "during surgery" were extremely dazzling, and the two rows of benches in the aisle were full of people who had come to visit them one after another, including school leaders, teachers, and classmates from Class 156 of the city's No. 1 Middle School, as well as some relatives and friends. They all surrounded Zhang Yunqi, who was covered in blood, to inquire what was going on, Zhang Yunqi leaned against the corner of the wall, really didn't know what to say, and when he first saw his mother's mournful screams echoing in the crowded aisle, like a hammer, once, once, on his chest.

Time passed quietly in this suffocating atmosphere, slow as a knife cut, until the daylight spilled in through the window became trance-like, the lights in front of the operating room door for an unknown amount of time finally went out, the door of the operating room opened, only a crack opened, the noisy sound of the emergency center receded like a tide, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at the chief surgeon who emerged from that crack.

The chief knife doctor with a tired face didn't speak, and nodded slowly at the large group of people outside.

When I first saw my mother, I cried again.

Later, the doctor told him that the first wound was in the heart and was 3 centimeters deep. Thankfully, when the knife was pierced into the body, it deviated and went in sideways, and although it was close to the heart, it did not cause damage to the heart, and if it was pierced in the body, the person would be gone.

After the wound was stitched up, he was hospitalized for observation for a period of time, and he missed the final exam at first sight. It doesn't matter, the point is that after the observation period, there are no further problems.

By the end of July, Hatsumi was able to go home to recuperate. The clothes were all sorted out by Jiang Feng, the mother of the first meeting, and the account was settled, and Zhang Yunqi drove the first meeting home.

It's not Hongshan Lane that I went back, it's a new home I saw for the first time.

The location of the new home is in the community where Zhang Yunqi lives, next to the Municipal Education Bureau, and there are few good places in the first ring to be quiet.

The house was privately asked by Zhang Yunqi to help Wang Guibing find someone to buy, and he bought it a long time ago, 86 years of frame building, a two-bedroom and one-hall building, 78 square meters, the area is not large, but it is the current mainstream room type, just enough for a family of three to live. The house is well decorated and has all kinds of furniture. But I didn't know about it until now, everyone wanted to surprise her, she looked at Zhang Yunqi who was concentrating on driving in front of her, and asked: "Yunqi, does the Provincial Sports Lottery Center really give a bonus repayment?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and nodded: "Yes, in fact, this is the case, my brother should be getting married on National Day this year, I am going to give him a house and a Santana, and when I bought a house some time ago, I bought an extra set by the way." It just so happened that the Provincial Sports Lottery Center reissued Santana and bonuses to your family, and I discussed it with your mother, and she felt that Santana was not needed, so she transferred it to me at the original price. As for this house, I also transferred it to your family at the original price. So many things have happened, and my aunt also thinks that Hongshan can't live anymore, and the old house is cold in winter and hot in summer, and there are mosquitoes in the hot and humid weather when it rains, and the environment is too bad, not to mention the destruction of the spirit, it is not good for people's health, you are about to recover your body. ”

At first sight, he was silent, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

The lunch meal was very rich and lively, and Zhang Yunqi's parents, as well as Chunlan Xiaoxiao, came.

In the afternoon, Jiang Feng and Zhang's mother went to the fishmeal shop to get busy.

Chujian was resting in the bedroom, a few children were watching TV and playing in the living room, and Chunlan, who was sitting on the sofa and knocking melon seeds, saw her second brother go to Chujian's bedroom, and pouted.

The new bedroom at first sight is not big, but it is warmly furnished.

The floor is wooden, sky blue sheets, a large brown bear ragdoll is placed at the head of the bed, there is a blue window on the left, there is a desk under the window, a whole row of bookcases are filled with all kinds of books, the camphor leaves in front of the window are lush and green, windy, reflecting the light, bringing a fresh breath.

When I first arrived home, I first saw a few children with each room to see it again, but the second time I walked into this bedroom, I was still a little stunned, she never thought that she would have such a warm home, like a dream, but, although she was very happy in front of her family, her mother also told her that the money to buy this house was the bonus of her stepfather's Chu Dapeng, and the Provincial Sports Lottery Center had announced that the lottery ticket was real, but she always felt that something was wrong. The most terrifying appearance of a person is probably to accept the gifts of others with peace of mind.

When I first saw and touched the books in the bookcase, they were all brand new, with the fragrance of ink, many of them she had seen and liked, she took a copy and sat at the head of the bed to read, turned more than ten pages, Zhang Yunqi knocked on the door and came in, she was stunned, and her little face turned red.

Straight into the girl's boudoir, Zhang Yunqi was not ashamed at all, he sat directly on the edge of the bed, staring at Chu Jian and smiled, Chu Jian pursed his lips, and his clear eyes also looked at him, after a while, she suddenly stretched out her hand and put it in his palm, and her little face became a little serious: "Yunqi, you have already prepared this house and renovated it, I have only been hospitalized for more than ten days, it is impossible to decorate it in such a short time." Moreover, I don't know if my stepfather's lottery ticket is real, and even if that ticket is real, the City Sports Lottery Center probably won't send the prize so quickly. ”

Zhang Yunqi didn't expect that he was still thinking about this when he first saw him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he held the hand of the girl in front of him with some ice, and after a while, he said with a smile: "First meeting, do you know why I have to buy this house?"

Hatsumi asked, "Why?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Have you noticed that there is a very different place between our countrymen and foreigners, that is, they love to save money, it may be that many people are poor and afraid, and they feel that money is the guarantee of a happy life in the future." Happiness is like a deposit, it can be taken out and used later, but in reality it is impossible. Because every moment of life, as long as you miss that moment, it will disappear forever and never get it back. So, be happy now. ”

When she blushed at first sight, she let out a soft "um".

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "The lottery is a bit complicated, the police are still investigating, but from the news I got, the lottery ticket should be real, when the prize is sent down, it's the same, you don't need to think about these things, I understand your thoughts, first sight." ”

Chu Jian pursed her lips and said okay, after a while, she suddenly said again: "Yunqi, in the future, can you call me Yu?"

"Why?" Zhang Yunqi asked.

"Because...... Yu is your light. Hatsumi said softly.

There was wind outside the window, blowing the camphor leaves rattling, in the broken light projected in, Zhang Yunqi looked at the blushing clear girl in front of him in a daze, at that moment, the flowers and plants outside the window grew wildly, the sunset fell, Zhang Yunqi felt that his heart was about to melt, he touched her slightly hot little face, and smiled: "Yu, tired, do you want to take a nap?"

Chujian obediently got into the quilt, and shook his head in the quilt again, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't, you tell me a story, right? Yunqi, you tell me a story when you are bored in the hospital." ”

Zhang Yunqi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Some time ago, the comet hitting Jupiter attracted a lot of attention, and I think of such a story. ”

"What's the story?"

"Many years ago, a NASA staff member secretly modified the orbit of a satellite, causing a retiring satellite to ignite and change its orbit 1.5 million kilometers away in space, and use the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Moon to catapult farther into the void. At that time, in the depths of the void, Halley's Comet was speeding towards the Earth through 76 years of reincarnation. Europe, the Soviet Union, and Japan launched eight probes to form a mighty Harley-Davidson fleet. At that time, NASA cut its budget and had no money to participate, so the staff stole an old satellite to observe Harley, and in 1986 he met Harley, becoming the first human vehicle to fly past the tail of a comet. ”

In Hangzhou, I know a young man named Wu Xiaobo, who was taking the college entrance examination and wanted to see the Halley comet at night, and his father reprimanded him and said, "Is the comet important or is the college entrance examination important?" Wu Xiaobo looked at the starry sky in disappointment, went back to the house to prepare for the exam, and vowed to leave his hometown. Later, he was admitted to Fudan University's Chinese Department majoring in journalism, and now he has returned to Hangzhou to write columns. ”

In Shenzhen, there is also a young man named Ma Huateng, who observed Halley's Comet with an astronomical telescope and wrote an observation report, winning the third prize. The telescope was a birthday present that his parents had bought him for seven hundred dollars, and it was four months' salary for his father. ”

"You know the poet Xi Chuan, whose famous poem "Looking Up at the Starry Sky in Hargai" was written on that day: on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, next to a train station the size of broad beans, I raised my head and looked at the starry sky. ”

Halley's Comet slowly crossed the sky, 76 years of things are not human, but at that time there were not many people who were willing to look at the starry sky, only the occasional person who looked up, can hear the melody between the stars, Xichuan looked at the stars that year, there was a capital observatory assistant researcher named Nan Rendong went to the Dutch astronomical institution as a visiting scholar, he was not level enough, could not take a plane, could only take a train across Siberia, through Eastern Europe, to the Netherlands, all the way to the customs, asking for bribes, did not go to the Netherlands, there was no money in his pocket, so he sold paintings on the roadside, he painted many strange faces, but his heart must be full of stars。 Once, he visited the United Nations World Intellectual Property Headquarters in Geneva, and in the hall, all countries put out their proudest exhibits, China's exhibit was a cloisonnΓ© vase, while the American exhibit was a small piece of moon rock, and no one had surpassed it for decades. ”

Nan Rendong never forgot the stars and moon rocks, but most of those who were excited to look at Harley back then had already lowered their heads, busy and chaotic in life. At the beginning of 1993, that is, at the beginning of last year, CCTV Economic Channel was established, and at the end of last year, the "Company Law" was promulgated. That's fine, people have to eat, but I always remember a poem written by the poet Nishikawa last year: I can't stop the heavy rain. ”

Hatsumi asked, "Is it attractive for you to be a banknote, or is it a charm to chase stars?"

Zhang Yunqi thought for a while and said with a smile: "People like to chase stars when they are young, and I am the same, but I don't have that condition, of course, it may not be right to say so, a little bit of suspicion of pushing the responsibility to objective factors, or perseverance is not enough, or it may be that I was poor and afraid before, in short, I want to work hard to chase money, so that when the people around me want to chase the stars, they will not be able to chase the stars." ”

When she first saw that she didn't speak for a long time, she held Zhang Yunqi's hand in the palm of her hand, pursed her lips and said, "What about the back of the story?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "In 1993, the General Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science was held in Tokyo, and a new generation of large radio telescopes was proposed. Nan Rendong began to select a site in China and prepare for the construction of a radio telescope. The name of the project is very domineering, China Sky Eye. ”

Because there are a large number of karst depressions in Guizhou, which can save the cost of excavation, Nan Rendong took the team there, climbed over the southwest mountains, searched hundreds of valleys, heavy rain often came unexpectedly, mountain torrents roared under the rope bridge, sometimes there was no road in the dense forest, they used firewood knives to split the road. The villagers in the mountains looked at the visitors in confusion, and the first rumor was that there was a mine, but later it became that "aliens have been discovered", and maybe, the world beyond the mountain is space for them. ”

He traveled all over Chinese universities, wrote books, frequently participated in international conferences, and appeared on major television, the dusty old man, wearing sunglasses, asked the national audience in Jilin Mandarin: Who are we, where do we come from, and are we lonely?

Zhang Yunqi looked at the first sight in the quilt and said with a smile: "The story is here, in fact, it has ended, but it is not over either, because there are still countless star chasers in our country who are continuing to write this story." China's Sky Eye, one day will be built, it will stand on the earth with the world's most advanced radio telescope, listen to the melody of the depths of the universe, look for the mysteries of those stars hidden in the universe, and become the coordinates out of the sea of stars. ”

"What a beautiful story, Yunqi. ”

"Yu is also beautiful. Zhang Yunqi touched the girl's cheek, the girl's eyes seemed to contain the dew of the summer evening, and it was about to flow down, he smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead: "Sleep, maybe there will be a vast starry sky in your dreams." ”

"You'll be there. ”
