"Who is this woman, and what is her name?"

As soon as Lu Zhongjun got into the car, Lu Xiaolin, who had been sitting in the back seat just now, couldn't wait to lie on the back of the front seat and ask.

"Little kids, don't be nosy. Lu Zhongjun started the car, stepped on the accelerator and left.

"Lu Zhongjun, you are honest, do you look at other people's beauty and fall in love with others?"

"I'm looking for her to get down to business. Serve. ”

Lu Xiaolin pursed her lips: "Cut! Why haven't I seen you serve others like this! Why don't you allow me to come down and go with you when you have something to do? Lu Zhongjun, you still deny it! Quickly give me an honest explanation!"

"Lu Xiaolin, it's getting bigger and smaller! Believe it or not, I'll find a man tomorrow to marry you off and let you harm others! Let me think about it, who is more suitable...... Uncle Yu's son was a little stunned, but he was okay...... Why don't I ask?"

"Oh, I hate it, do you have such a brother!" Lu Xiaolin was anxious and slapped Lu Zhongjun in the back.

Lu Zhongjun smiled: "I finally know that I am still your brother." Honestly, did you sneak out of your house this time? Stay two days and go back honestly, so as to save them from worrying!"

Lu Xiaolin sat back, and the atmosphere in the car fell silent.

"Why don't you speak?" Lu Zhongjun glanced at his sister in the rearview mirror, "You don't squeak on the side, I'm really not used to it." ”

"Brother," Lu Xiaolin suddenly raised her eyes, "What's going on with you? I don't believe you would do something like that! You must have a hard time! That woman relied on you, right? Sister Hua Lan is still quite sad. ”

Lu Zhongjun twisted his eyebrows: "What's the matter with her! ”

"Okay, I won't mention her. Say Dad. He's not supposed to slap you so hard, but why didn't you explain it to him at the time? He won't even let us tell him your name now. ”

The smile on Lu Zhongjun's face gradually faded.

"It's not bothered. That's what it is. He said lightly.

Lu Xiaolin stared blankly at the back of Lu Zhongjun's head.

"Okay, even if that's the case, so what? Who hasn't made a mistake or two. Brother, you go back and apologize to our dad, he will definitely forgive you. Look what you've become now! Are you staying in this place? Are you staying there?"

"Girl, don't engage in regional discrimination!" Lu Zhongjun laughed again, "Which eye of yours can't stay with me?" Seriously, this is a good place, your brother and I really don't want to leave." ”

"Who are you fooling!" Lu Xiaolin shouted, "It has been your dream since you were a child to fly a fighter plane to the sky! An excellent pilot who graduated from the first class of the Moscow Aviation Academy! A flying hero who has been on the battlefield! Are you really willing to mix here for the rest of your life? Brother, I beg you, don't be so stubborn, go back and apologize to our father." It's okay to really do that, if you admit your mistake, he will definitely forgive you...... Seeing you stiffen like this, you don't know, I feel very uncomfortable......"

Lu Xiaolin's eyes suddenly reddened slightly.

Lu Zhongjun stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, turned his head, raised his hand and pinched her cheek: "I haven't seen you cry for a long time, I forgot how you cry and your snot bubbles! Hurry up and cry one to show my brother! Brother will buy jelly beans to coax you!"

"I hate it!" Lu Xiaolin burst into tears and laughed, and twisted Lu Zhongjun's arm vigorously, "You don't treat me as an adult! I'm so unserious! I'm serious! When are you going to screw with our father!"

Lu Zhongjun's eyes moved slightly, turned around and drove forward again, and said slowly: "Xiao Lin, he blamed me for embarrassing him, he was angry when he saw me, and it is estimated that picking my skin is not enough for him to relieve his anger, you can spare your brother, don't embarrass me." I'll take you to a good meal and send you back to Beijing tomorrow. ”

……

That night, Guo Yun was released. I took advantage of the darkness to bow my head and enter the door secretly. But it still fell into the eyes of sharp-eyed neighbors, and someone went to the door to express concern, Guo Yun's mother excused herself with a headache, and sent someone away without saying a word and closed the door. After a while, some people gathered in Aunt Li Mei's commissary to discuss the matter, saying that Guo Yun was lucky and was not the main culprit, and he was released after being educated.

Aunt Li Mei closed the commissary and went back to the house, Xiao Ni was already asleep, she went over and pushed open the door of Anna's house and peeked out, and saw that Anna was not asleep, leaning on the kang and seemed to be distracted, and asked: "Mei Mei, what's wrong with you, I will see you shrinking into the house when I come back at night." Isn't it feeling well?"

Anna said that there were a lot of things to do at school, and she was a little tired when she came back today, so she didn't go out.

"Tell you, Guo Yun went home, do you know? Did you go to the captain to intercede?"

Anna paused slightly and shook her head: "No." I originally wanted to talk to him, but I didn't have time yet. It's good that she's back. ”

"I'm not lucky. I heard that those who started will be sentenced to one or two years. Aunt Li Mei shook her head, "It's not that you can intercede with that captain of the army, so that those people don't have to arrange you there." It's okay, then you go to bed early, and I'll go back to the house. ”

Aunt Li Mei closed the door, and the footsteps disappeared at the door.

……

Anna couldn't sleep that night.

The impact of the incident that she accidentally discovered during the day is still fermenting and deeply troubled her.

No wonder she spent the night at the base station that night, faced Lu Zhongjun face to face, and when she saw him laughing, for a moment, she felt a sense of déjà vu.

At the time, I thought it was just my own delusion. Now it turns out that this was not a delusion. But I had seen him before. In an old photo.

This discovery also made her more sure of one thing, her parents must be living in S City now.

……

A few days later, it will be New Year's Day. Under the leadership of Vice Principal Li, Anna and the students went to the city to participate in the show.

The show ended smoothly, the program finally won the second prize, the city TV station interview video, President Li was happy, announced to take everyone to the botanical garden to play.

C City Botanical Garden before the liberation, the earliest by a foreigner to China to build, the history is long, to the present scale is also very large, there are many rare species at home and abroad, the two years of domestic opening, the garden department also began to receive letters from the United States, Canada and other countries related departments, asking for the exchange of information with the botanical garden, in the international is also an influential large botanical garden.

The students were very happy to hear this, and Anna naturally went.

During the New Year's Day holiday, there are many people in the botanical garden. When visiting a plant, there was a foreigner about 40 years old on the side who carried a bag and a camera to take pictures of various plants.

At this time, the country has just opened up, and foreigners are still rare varieties, especially in the mainland of City C, and it is not uncommon to be watched by people on the road. When the students saw the foreigner, they stopped chattering and looked at him curiously.

Seeing the students staring at him, the foreigner stopped to take pictures, waved to Anna and the students, smiled and said in stiff Chinese: "My name is Pieru and I am from France." I love your country. ”

When the students saw the foreigner talking to them, they were a little shy and didn't dare to reply. Anna smiled and replied in Chinese: "Welcome to China." ”

Separated from the foreigners, Anna took the students to continue the visit, at four o'clock in the afternoon, to see that the time was almost up, and took a few students who followed her to the door to wait to meet the rest of the people, then saw the Frenchman Pieru just now in the Botanical Garden outside the duty room and the staff pointing and talking, speaking French for a while, popping out an English word or two for a while, very anxious.

The staff looked confused and at a loss. There are a lot of tourists on the side.

"Does anyone speak English or French? I need help!" the foreigner failed to communicate with the staff, turned his head and asked the person next to him in English, looking around anxiously.

"Mr. Pieru, what can I do for you?"

Anna stepped forward and asked in French.

When the foreigner saw Anna speaking French, his face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly ran over, and said wah-wow-wow-wah.

He is a botanist and photographer who teaches at a prestigious university abroad, and can only speak the first sentence in Chinese. I went to China with the group for academic exchanges, and after the exchanges, I visited the botanical garden in C city. Originally, I had a friend with me, and I had been here for a day yesterday, and I couldn't get enough of it, and I came again today. But today his friend didn't come, and he was on his own. Just as he was about to leave, he realized that the wallet was missing. In addition to money, passports, and contact information with friends are all in it, so it's not in a hurry.

"Are you sure you lost it here?" asked Anna.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure! it's still in my pocket when I come in!" the foreigner nodded.

Anna told the people in the duty room about the situation, and the staff quickly informed the leader. As soon as he heard that the botanist from abroad had lost his wallet and passport here, the leader attached great importance to it, rushed over to comfort him in person, and broadcast a notice on the loudspeaker of the botanical garden.

After a while, the news came. Said that the wallet was found. It just so happened that one of Anna's students saw it in the corner of a flower bed while she was free. It was delivered to the Botanical Gardens office at that time. It should have been when he took pictures by himself, and things accidentally fell out when he took them.

Pieru took the wallet back, saw that everything was there, was very grateful, couldn't stop giving a thumbs up to the leader of the botanical garden and the student who picked up the wallet, and asked Anna's name, Anna told him his English name, Pieru thanked her, "Miss Anna, I have met very few Chinese who can speak French." You speak French very well. Lived in France before?"

"Did stay for a few years. Anna smiled, "I hope you have a nice trip to China." Next time, remember to put the wallet away and don't lose it. ”

Pieru laughed: "China is a country full of magic, I have wanted to come here for a long time. I'll be back in two days, but I'll be back soon. ”

The foreigner took a group photo with Anna, the students and the leaders of the botanical garden, and then said goodbye and left.

The leaders of the Botanical Garden specially expressed their gratitude to Principal Li, saying that today it is thanks to the good teachers and students of your school that they have helped the foreign guests.

Principal Li and You Rongyan said on the way back: "Teacher Li, you are okay, why don't you usually hear you mention it, you can still speak French?"

"I used to teach myself a little bit. Anna said modestly.

"What a talent!" Principal Li praised.

……

When the city came back, this little episode passed, and Anna was not reassured. As soon as New Year's Day passed, the school began to prepare for the final exams. The last few Mondays passed by, and it was a day of winter break.

Anna came back from school, and as soon as she entered the door, Aunt Li Mei asked Anna to take Xiaoni to the county tomorrow to find Chen Li.

Last weekend, Chen Li asked Anna to go on a blind date, saying that she had already told her that the son of the Gao family was also willing to meet her, but Anna excused herself on the pretext that she was busy with school affairs.

Two days ago, Chen Li asked someone to send a message again, urging Anna to take a vacation.

Anna knew that Aunt Li Mei was urging her to go on a blind date, and after entering the house, she said to Aunt Li Mei: "Auntie, I'm sorry I may not be able to go." School is out and I want to go back to Shanghai. ”

Aunt Li Mei was stunned: "Why are you going back to Shanghai? Your mother used to live in a unit house, but the people are gone, and the house has been taken back, where did you live in the past?"

"I have friends over there, don't worry," Anna lied, "I was in a bit of a hurry last time I came to you, and there are still some things to deal with over there." I thought about taking advantage of the winter vacation to take care of everything. ”

"You can go back, why are you in such a hurry, don't delay going on a blind date first!"

"Let's talk about the blind date later. It's actually quite urgent over there. I want to leave tomorrow. ”

"That's it—" Aunt Li Mei thought for a moment, "Forget it, then you can go back first." When I come back, ask your sister to arrange it again! I said Meimei, it's not a few days before the New Year, remember not to be greedy, you must rush back to celebrate the New Year here!"

Anna agreed, and went into the house to pack her luggage.
