Chapter 432: This year of forced smiles
Qiao Lin chatted with Murong until late before saying goodbye to her. The last thing Murong said to her was - dear, don't tie the ponytail anymore, your left forehead is bald.
It was as if a large knife had been plunged into Jolene's chest, and in an instant blood three feet high was splattered.
Jolene positioned herself as a young fairy, she was not yet twenty-five years old, how could she become a bald girl? But she looked carefully at herself in the mirror, and the hair in front of her did fall out a lot, which made people melancholy.
It seems that she still hasn't escaped the spell of rhubarb, and sooner or later she will be bald if she engages in simultaneous interpretation. It's almost summer vacation, and Rhubarb also introduced her to a translator, medical equipment. Although it is not a simultaneous interpretation, the specifications are not low, and you must prepare carefully.
Jolene got in touch with the company early on and asked for all the information she needed. She used to stay up late translating, maybe her hair fell out at that time! She had to eat more walnuts, hoping that her hair would grow back and not show a bare brain.
The next day, Qiao Lin was still sad because of hair loss, and she couldn't even eat breakfast, and suddenly received a call from her sister's colleague - Qiao Lu suddenly fainted and was sent to the school hospital.
Qiao Lu fell asleep on the sofa in the laboratory that day, and her colleagues went to work in the morning to call her up. She said she was going to wash up, but as soon as she stood up, she fainted. He knocked over a beaker and slit his wrist.
Qiao Lin hurriedly went to find her sister, Qiao Lu had regained consciousness and was on a drip. She told Jolene not to worry, and joked: "Fortunately, someone saw it, otherwise others would have thought that I was crazy about doing experiments and committed suicide by cutting my wrists in the laboratory!"
Qiao Lu is in charge of a key part of the major projects in the laboratory, so she is under a lot of pressure. She said she had done no less than 100 experiments to find a new type of catalyst. In order to keep the whole project going, she had to work overtime and not hold back, and she was working in an almost masochistic way.
Qiao Lu once said that she would no longer exchange her health for work achievements, but in the past six months, she has still been working hard. She insists on practicing yoga every night, and whenever the weather is good, she goes to the playground in the morning for a run. But even so, her body is still very depleted, and now in addition to endocrine disorders, she also suffers from severe anemia.
Joe's family was very worried about her, especially Jolene, remembering that many of the chemists who went down in history died of cancer. She once went to her sister's lab, and the smell was so bad that she couldn't stand it for less than five minutes. But my sister wore a mask and was engrossed in the experiment, and she was not affected by the smell at all.
Jolene advises her sister that health always comes first. In the past, Qiao Lu could listen to it and wouldn't stay up all night in the laboratory. But after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, she began to numb herself with work.
"You say, what can I do now but work?"
My sister's smile was very bleak, so that Jolene couldn't bear to look at it. After the breakup, she passed a year as if nothing happened, but her heart was already rotten.
Jolene hopes that someone can save her sister, even if that person is rhubarb, as long as she can make her sister completely happy, she is willing. Qiao Lu was accompanied by a colleague, so she drove her sister back to class. Rhubarb didn't get out of class, and he asked Jolene with concern if her sister was okay. Jolene told the truth, and Rhubarb continued to lecture.
After class, even Xiao Jiang said that he felt that Rhubarb was very interested in Teacher Qiao, not like ordinary colleagues.
If the two of them can develop, Jolene will not stop them. After all, my sister is thirty-one years old, and in Hong Kong City, it is an age when she can't get married. People often come to ask about Qiao Lu's marriage, and the pressure on the old couple of the Qiao family is also very high, but they will not introduce anyone to Qiao Lu anymore. Qiao Lu told them that she didn't want to be hurt anymore, and she wanted to let go of her feelings.
The old couple was anxious, but their daughters were so old that they couldn't manage it if they wanted to. The two relationships came to an abrupt end when they talked about marriage, which hurt Qiao Lu enough. She didn't want to fall in love, and the old couple couldn't bear to force her.
In front of her parents, Qiao Lu is always calm, and even in the eyes of her parents, she pretends to be a little too hard. She said that this summer, the little commander is already one year old, and it is time to make up the wedding for his parents, and she is willing to help her younger brother manage it.
Bruised by her feelings, and still have the energy to manage someone else's wedding? She wants to force a smile, but she doesn't have to. Lao Qiao really wanted to make up for his son's wedding this holiday, but Qiao Nan was busy with work, and Wen Jing was busy starting a business, so he couldn't spare time to hold a wedding.
In late June, Wen Jing went thousands of miles away to renovate the store that was about to open, and had to put her son in Hong Kong City. Both of her in-laws have jobs, and Wen Jing didn't want to bother them too much, so she hired a distant relative as a nanny to help take care of her son.
She has never been separated from her son for so long, and it was quite relaxed at first, but as soon as her son in the video called her "Mom", her little hands grabbed at the screen, and she couldn't stand it. She had only one thought, that is, to quickly decorate the store and then take her son to her side.
Old Joe's son, who was most worried, is now the happiest. Their young couple and Hemeimei are all working hard for their respective careers, which makes him feel very gratified. The eldest daughter, who didn't worry about him the most, became the one who worried him the most. She has been adrift for so long, when will she have a home?
When Lao Qiao was so worried about his eldest daughter's lifelong event that he couldn't sleep, when he saw his eldest grandson, his sad face stretched a lot. He patted the little commander lightly and said in a low voice: "Little commander, you are our family's lucky doll, I hope your aunt can give you a little brother and sister as soon as possible!"
Qiao Lu didn't hear her father's prayer, and if she did, it would only make her more sad. Because she went to the hospital for a full set of physical examinations, the doctor told her very seriously that according to her current physical condition, the probability of getting pregnant in the future is very low, and if she doesn't pay attention to herself, no one can help her.
Qiao Lu, who got the result, was discouraged, she had no hope for love, and now her body is like this, how can she talk about marriage in the future?
When Xu Na came to her dormitory for dinner, she heard Xu Wei's news for a long time. Listening to Xu Na, he and his lover are separating, and their children are placed at the child's grandmother's house. People have long been paying attention, if they divorce, it is impossible for the woman to hand over the custody of the child.
Xu Wei was very troubled. If we get divorced, what will happen to the children? In this marriage, he is most reluctant to live with this child, but how can he win a lawsuit?
Qiao Lu asked, "The two of them are the right people, how can they get to the point of divorce?"
"It's said that the character is inappropriate, but I feel that they are too playful, and they don't have any family concept when they get married, and they are very disappointed in each other, and then they can't get by!"
Xu Na looked at Qiao Lu's face and asked Qiao Lu cautiously, "Sister Qiao Lu, do you still have feelings for my cousin?"
Qiao Lu smiled: "I'll ...... with him That's all from the previous life, how can you still think about him?"
"That's good, your choice is wise. From now on, he really can't stand up to anything. ”
Qiao Lu didn't think so. Many years ago, Xu Wei was still very courageous. Since he gave in to his grandmother, he has gradually lost his assertiveness and drifted with the crowd, making people forget his previous high-spirited appearance.
"Listen to my dad, my cousin wants to return to Hong Kong City after the divorce and do a clothing business with Japan and South Korea. But my uncle didn't allow them, and I felt that he was almost thirty years old, and I didn't want him to toss around. At that time, he was finally stuffed into a public institution, and the household registration was all solved at once, so where could their family let him go? If he regretted it and had no way out, he would never find such a good unit again. Xu Na sighed and said, "But his family is not happy now, and his career has not improved...... It's okay anyway, but I'm sorry for him. ”
When Jolene heard this, she said, "That's boiling a frog in warm water, and I don't know if I boil myself to death one day!"
Qiao Lu remembered that the last time she saw Xu Wei was during the Spring Festival in 2014. Both of them were greeting the New Year on the street, and they met by chance, but there were a lot of people, and the two nodded and did not speak. Xu Wei is a little fatter than before, more like a middle-aged man. But his complexion is still good, and he talks and laughs with his brothers, not like a person who is tortured by life.
That night, Jolene and Xu Na stayed at her house until late. Qiao Lu poured a glass of red wine and drank it slowly on the balcony. When I think of the United States at that time, they imagined the future so beautiful, but in the end it was just a bubble.
When Qiao Lu realized that the phone was vibrating, it had been ringing for a while. When she saw the phone number, she wiped her hands before answering it.
"Professor Qiao, long time no see. ”
“...... Long time no see. ”
"Are you still single?"
"Well, I'm still alone. Qiao Lu replied honestly.
"That's good, if you're in a relationship, it's inconvenient for me to call you. ”
He is a very measured person, Qiao Lu has known this for a long time.
The man continued: "I was drinking, I remembered that night in Japan, and I wanted to call you. ”
Qiao Lu smiled: "That's really a coincidence, I'm also drinking." ”
"Do you drink to celebrate, or do you want to drink to drown your sorrows?"
"It's neither, it's ...... Suddenly want to have a drink, that's all. ”
That night in Japan, Qiao Lu just walked into a tavern by chance, but she didn't expect to see him drinking. Judging from past experiences, he is definitely not the kind of person who is an alcoholic. But when Qiao Lu saw him, there were already two bottles of sake in front of him. He ordered two more beers, greeted Qiao Lu warmly, and drank with him.
That night, he was very drunk, Qiao Lu didn't drink much, and he couldn't see death without help, so he had to send him back to the hotel. She pulled the hotel business card out of his pocket and dragged him into a taxi with great difficulty. The hotel staff asked for Qiao Lu's contact information before sending him back to the room.
The next day, he called Qiao Lu to thank her in person, at least to return the taxi fare to her. After all, taking a taxi in Japan is quite expensive, and it didn't take long to drive, and it cost Qiao Lu 300 yuan.
Qiao Lu said: "Forget the money, after all, you also helped me...... I'm going to leave Tokyo soon, and I'll be able to go back to Beijing. ”
"I'm not used to owing money to others. However, I'll write a verbal check first, and you can use it at any time. ”
"What check?"
"In Beijing, no matter what trouble you encounter, you can call me and I will arrange it for you. ”
......
After living for thirty years, Qiao Lu has only heard such a tone in childish idol dramas, and thinks he is pretending to be × or bragging. However, he proved with practical actions that he may have this strength.
Qiao Lu drank the red wine, and he didn't know why he made this call, could it be that he was drunk and cried to her again? Unexpectedly, he said: "I don't know if you are willing to give me the opportunity to meet, I owe you the fare, and I haven't paid it back to you yet." ”
