Jolene sent the picture book to her little nephew, he liked it very much, and sent a voice message to his aunt in a milky voice, and his father helped him: "If you send a book next time, don't forget to attach the signature of the great translator, so that I can give it to my colleague's child." ”

Jolene couldn't help but be happy, and it turned out that her brother was still very proud of her. Jolene told her brother that she was actually very depressed, and that she wanted to be not a translator, but an author. It's a pity that the story she wrote about her grandmother has been rejected by several publishing houses.

Alas, it would be fine if she was explicitly rejected, but if she didn't hear back for months, it was as if she had been ignored and they didn't bother to reply to her.

She also confided in her brother that she was troubled: "Maybe what I wrote is really not up to the editor's appetite! Or maybe I wrote too badly...... In short, with each shot, the frustration deepens. A year has passed, and it is already full of devastation. ”

Chief Qiao replied, "That's because the more you try, the more chances you will have to fail." If you're in one comfort zone all the time, where is the frustration? You've tried to shoot into different baskets, and you're always going to get one. ”

Look, Chief Joe's ideological work is getting better and better, and Jolene suddenly becomes brighter.

It's been a long time since the Spring Festival, and Jolene is ready to go back to class. This time, it will take a month to see her husband at the earliest. Sun Ruiyang told her not to be sad, she can live a normal life, which means that his condition is also very good!

Jolene always told him that he just had to be strong for others to see, and he didn't have to be so strong in front of her. Sun Ruiyang smiled softly: "If you hold on, you don't have to take care of me so hard." ”

A few months ago, he had heart surgery that caused paralysis in his lower limbs, so much so that he was in a wheelchair for a long time. The doctor estimated that the recovery period would be half a year at the earliest, but after half a year, he could really stand for a while, and he also said that he would walk to Haida to report for duty.

Qiao Lin asked him not to talk so much, in case he couldn't go, wouldn't the gap be very big? But Sun Ruiyang was very confident, he said, Haida is not stupid, who do you want if you don't want him?

Jolene was so focused on taking care of her family that she never paid attention to the people who were causing them pain. Before she returned to Beijing, Cao Shengxia, who had gone to Africa with Sun Ruiyang, came to visit him in Hong Kong City, and brought unexpected news: "I heard from my classmates that Tian Miao's job at school has also been lost." ”

Sun Ruiyang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but his tone was quite flat: "What's the matter?"

"A few years ago, I went through the formalities for the students, and I lost my family's household registration book, and the family was anxious to buy a house, urging her to look everywhere, but she still refused to admit it. During the Chinese New Year, there was no time to make up for it, and the parents of the students went crazy all of a sudden. Then, they reported her. Among the evidence listed by the parents, there is also an old incident several years ago - Tian Miao deliberately damaged the applicant's information when sorting out the study abroad materials. Not only is she not serious about her work, but she also deliberately makes it bad, and it is infuriating that such a person can still stay in school and work. The parents of the students are not good at stubble, and told the school that if they don't deal with it seriously, they will expose the matter to the media. ”

Qiao Lin was preparing tea, and when she heard this, her eyes immediately widened and she asked, "How did that parent know that she destroyed other people's study abroad materials?"

Cao Shengxia shook his head: "I don't know, I also heard it when I went back to school to go through the formalities." ”

Jolene was at a loss: "But I didn't tell anyone ......"

Sun Ruiyang immediately coughed a few times, interrupted Qiao Lin's words, and asked her to stop talking, and Qiao Lin closed her mouth very obediently. Cao Shengxia drank tea and said with a smile: "How can I say it, I feel sad for her, and I feel that she deserves it." Actually...... I'm glad she was punished. ”

Sun Ruiyang is not perverted, but Qiao Lin saw his expression, he should be very happy!

Cao Shengxia came to say goodbye to Sun Ruiyang, and she decided to work in a foreign research institute. Sun Ruiyang persuaded her to think about it carefully, and she smiled bitterly: "I work diligently, I am enthusiastic about public welfare in my spare time, and I do experiments day and night in order to compete for time with foreign teams...... But what did my employer do to me? What did I get in return for my efforts? I'm really disheartened, not only me, but also your heart has been cold, right?"

Lao Guan once expressed deep sympathy for Sun Ruiyang's experience, and he also sighed that he couldn't let such scientific researchers chill and don't force talents away, but what he was worried about still happened. Cao Shengxia is also a young and promising scholar, if she goes abroad and stands on a higher platform, then her research achievements will definitely not be less. Unfortunately, those results will not be ours.

Thinking of this, Sun Ruiyang didn't feel good in his heart. Cao Shengxia pinched the teacup and said with a smile: "Anyway...... I don't have a family in China, and I won't have love...... It's good to go to work abroad without worrying. ”

Her words are very subtle, what is the meaning of "there will be no love"? Out of feminine sensitivity, Qiao Lin was keenly aware that when Cao Shengxia looked at Sun Ruiyang, there was a trace of resentment in her eyes.

Sun Ruiyang tried his best to avoid eye contact with her, and he still said flatly: "You are so good and very young, you will be chased everywhere." ”

"No, it won't. Cao Shengxia said stubbornly: "My mind is not there. ”

Jolene sat on pins and needles, and thought to herself, it is better to take care of dinner as soon as possible! After all, people have come from afar, and she still has to entertain good people. She wanted her father to help with the cooking, but Cao Shengxia insisted on leaving, she said that she was very short on time, and she had to go to the airport for the evening flight.

Before leaving, Sun Ruiyang stood up, leaned on the sofa, and tried to support his body. Cao Shengxia hesitated for a moment and asked, "That...... Old classmates, can you hug before you leave for a long time?"

Sun Ruiyang, who has always been calm, finally had a panicked look, he glanced at Qiao Lin sensitively, Qiao Lin forced a smile: "Hug! Before Xu Na left, didn't she hug you too?"

But Xu Na hugged him, she would not be jealous, and Cao Shengxia hugged him, she didn't feel good in her heart.

Jolene pretended to tidy up her things and half-knelt on the ground. Cao Shengxia no longer hesitated, quickly hugged Sun Ruiyang, and tried his best to hide his trembling tone: "It's really good that you can survive! You don't know how happy I am! But ...... Take care!"

"Thank you...... I've always wanted to say this to you, thank you...... Take care too!"

The two soon separated, and Qiao Lin also wrapped the gift for Cao Shengxia. Sun Ruiyang was unable to move, and the task of sending off the guests fell on Qiao Lin's head. She kept sending Cao Shengxia to the taxi, and Cao Shengxia had returned to her previous calm.

In Jolene's opinion, she is really too scholarly, always unhurried, steady, and always maintains appropriate indifference. is also a scholar, and Jolene is far from her.

Before Cao Shengxia got into the car, he said to Qiao Lin: "I wish you happiness, this is my blessing from the bottom of my heart." ”

"Thank you, and I wish you happiness!"

Back at home, Jolene calmly went about her chores, even though she wanted to ask what they had been through when they went to Africa together, how did they comfort each other when they were attacked by AIDS people together, and how did they discuss it when they were doing research together?

......

She had too many questions, but she didn't feel the need to ask. Her husband is a very frank person, and Dr. Cao has never hidden it. Qiao Lin is sure that she must be in love with Sun Ruiyang deeply, so much so that she willingly chooses to give up, and she loves this relationship deep in her heart for the rest of her life.

Jolene brushed the dishes and turned the faucet on to the maximum so that no one else could hear her sobs. In her opinion, Sun Ruiyang is very lucky, there is such a like-minded confidant with him, and she herself is also lucky, her rival is a little indifferent, but she is also a good girl who is measured and knows how to advance and retreat, and has never embarrassed people, but left the country and silently withdrew from their lives.
