Qiao Nan once again felt that he had done a bad thing, because he had put down three people with a parting - his father was reluctant to give up his grandson and had a rare high fever, and his son was not used to life in the interior, so he caught a cold as soon as he came home, and successfully infected his sister. The little boy with the perpetual motion machine in his body suddenly wilted, and the quiet girl was not worrying, and Qiao Nan and his eyes came out.

Qiao Nan also told his family that when Qiao Bowen first came home, he often squatted on the bay window in the living room to look. Qiao Nan asked him what he was looking at, and he said wistfully: "Dad, why can't our family see the sea? ”

……

Qiao Nan patiently explained to his son that there are only mountains here, not seas. Qiao Bowen was so sick that he hummed and chirped, and let go of the scoundrels, insisting on looking at the sea.

Qiao Nan sighed helplessly - is it possible, in the past, there was a fool who moved mountains, and now there is a Qiao Gong who moves the sea?

There was still a cloud of parting overhead, but Qiao Nan interrupted him, and there was laughter at home again. Old Qiao was haggard and said, "Either you get a piece of the sea over, or you send my eldest grandson back." ”

Since the little commander left, the mental state of the old couple of the Qiao family has plummeted. Ten years ago, they watched their son fly away, and ten years later, their son took away their grandson, and by the way, they took away all the excitement and vitality of the family, how could they stand it?

Qiao Lu, who was far away in the capital, was very worried about them, and often called to express condolences. She pinned all her hopes on Qiao Nan, and told her parents more than once: "If Qiao Nan can really come to Beijing to study for a doctorate, she will stay in Beijing to work in the future." You don't have to worry about Jolene's work...... Anyway, the three of us are together, and we will definitely let the two of you spend your old age in peace. ”

No matter how well the flatbread is drawn, you won't be able to eat it for a while, not to mention that the old couple will never leave the port city at all. The more Qiao Jianjun's waist bent, the more he nagged - it was useless to raise so many children, and in the end, they were still living alone.

What about Jolene? After being at home for so long, she didn't want to go anywhere. But Qiao Nan said that she would stay in Beijing nine times out of ten, not to mention that she had adapted to life in a big city, and the Sun family had already bought a house in the capital, what concerns did she have?

The concern is her family. Jolene witnessed the parting of her father and the little commander, and her father told him a lot with red eyes, and the little commander listened to it at first, but as soon as he stuffed him into the car, he punched and kicked, cried and made trouble. In the end, the car pulled him away, leaving his grandfather in place.

Jolene remembered that when she was seven years old, she also parted with her grandmother like this. The same scene recurred, she knew how painful such a parting was, and she didn't want her family to go through it again.

So, she sent an email to Sun Ruiyang: "Xiucai, I'm serious, I really want to go back to Hong Kong City in the future." ”

Sun Ruiyang did not reply. Many people say that in fact, the Sun family is crumbling, and Professor Sun went to Japan for treatment. Qiao Lin checked with her mother, but Li Lanzhi couldn't judge the authenticity. She said: "Who wants to tell others about being sick, but if Lao Sun is really sick, then Chen Yun is too uninteresting, so he won't even tell me, right?"

Fortunately, on the third day of the first lunar month, Chen Yun came back with her husband and had dinner at Qiao's house in the evening. Professor Sun did lose some weight and his complexion was not very good, but he quickly refuted the rumors: "My body is not so tough, but the diseases I had before have not continued to deteriorate. This time I went to Japan for the Chinese New Year, and we also did a set of detailed examinations there. It's all at this age, and there are some problems, but it's not to the point of hospitalization. ”

Professor Sun said frankly, and everyone had nothing to worry about, and they had a happy meal. Chen Yun liked Qiao Nan's two children very much, not only gave them New Year's money, but also brought them small gifts from Japan. Qiao Nan said that she was too polite, and Chen Yun smiled: "When Qiao Lin has a child, you, who are an uncle, will buy them again." ”

Chen Yun is still very anxious about her son's marriage. Jolene has also studied for a doctorate, and many of her classmates are married and have children, so she does not rule out having a wedding during her doctorate. The key to the problem is Sun Ruiyang, when meeting with Chen Yun, Qiao Lin said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Aunt Chen, I don't know if Sun Ruiyang still wants to get married." ”

"I think about it, I must think about it!" As soon as Chen Yun was in a hurry, the Shanghai accent came out: "I promise you, except for you, he has never dated any other girl, and no one will understand him as well as you." ”

Jolene wanted to say that it wasn't that he hadn't been in a relationship with other people to guarantee that he would definitely want to get married. But seeing Chen Yun's eager expression, she couldn't bear to say it.

As Chen Yun said, Qiao Lin can indeed be called Sun Ruiyang's soul mate. Chen Yun went to Shanghai a few years ago to meet her mother's family. Among that group of people, there are business celebrities, and there are also a few political dignitaries, who gather for dinner and inevitably ask about the current situation of their children. How dazzling Sun Ruiyang was at the beginning, how much attention he received.

Chen Yun was extremely proud of it, but when she said it, her group of relatives said: "It's good to be a doctor, which hospital does he work in?Have you ever gone abroad for further study-no? Alas~ Why don't you plan for him as a mother? He has such a high degree of education and is smart, you should pave the way for him! You don't know that doctors in Europe and the United States are really elite, and their status and income are definitely much better than those in China... …”

Chen Yun's head was buzzing with the noise, and she was going to skip this topic, but the group of people were still asking tirelessly. She had no choice but to tell the truth – her son was still volunteering in Africa. The group of people "sighed" again, but Chen Yun could see that they were not complimenting, but mocking.

After the banquet was over, Chen Yun's eldest brother stopped her and asked her a few questions briefly: "You let your son study medicine just so that he can be a volunteer?"

“……”

"So what is the benefit of volunteering for his career development?"

“……”

"Xiao Yun, be realistic, don't hold yourself up so lofty. Others are right, let Ruiyang come back, I will arrange for him to go abroad and let him take root abroad, this is the right way for Baili to be harmless. ”

After that, the eldest brother added: "Don't let your idealism delay the child's future." ”

The eldest brother sat on the high place for a long time, and his speech was very brief, but he said what he said. On the return trip, Chen Yun also thought a lot. The children of her relatives are all taking the elite route without exception, but her children have paid the most, walked the longest road, and suffered a lot...... So how could she not be in such a hurry?

After Sun Ruiyang left, he had a phone call with her, which basically meant that he wanted to be the most powerful doctor, so that his mother could raise her head in front of her mother's family. But no matter how hard he tried, he still did nothing, was his mother very disappointed?

Chen Yun immediately said: "Yangyang, you also underestimate your mother too much. Mom asked you to read so many books, not to make the whole family look good, but to let you do more meaningful things. Although I don't agree with you going to such a difficult place, since you have gone, then I am proud of you. ”

Probably because of such a mother, Sun Ruiyang can make a different choice from others. Jolene also called him stupid, complaining that he had kept her waiting too long, but if someone else really pointed fingers at his choice, then she still stood firmly on his side, saying that he was just as proud as her brother.

Therefore, Chen Yun was reluctant to be a "daughter-in-law" like Qiao Lin, and gave a lot of guarantees for her son. But she didn't know that her son's mind was not on getting married.

Although Sun Ruiyang lost his mobile phone, he and Qiao Lin did not lose contact. Sun Ruiyang has sent her a lot of photos, including the starry sky on the African grassland, those children with big eyes, and the local folk customs...... He also brought a kindle with him, which stored a large number of e-books, and after reading each one, he sent his experience to Jolene.

Jolene looked forward to his emails, but there was always a strange feeling - as if the person he was writing to was not his fiancée, whom he missed day and night, but a pen pal whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

It's not that Sun Ruiyang can't make calls, he can borrow a colleague's mobile phone, and he can also use a landline phone, but each call is not long. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Ruiyang only fought for about two or three minutes, Qiao Nan blinked his eyes and said, "Sun Xiucai is so restrained!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, maybe people are showmen, and they are indeed more subtle than me, a martial artist. When I was in Africa, if I could get my hands on the phone, I could send a lot of voice messages to your sister-in-law. ”

Sun Ruiyang used to be a sour talent, but what was he restraining himself from? After Qiao Lin expressed his desire to return to Hong Kong City in the future, he didn't reply positively.
