Chapter 11 (Part II)

After listening to Chen Yi tell the ins and outs of why she wanted to go to the United States, Chu Fan was heartbroken, she objected, in order to express her resolute opposition, she called her nine times before and after, asked her out for dinner three times, and gave her a detailed explanation of this matter, and did a pros and cons analysis to try to keep her.
"That's the United States, although the earth is about to become a village now, but it takes more than ten hours to fly over, not a distance that you suddenly want to go back to your hometown and take a five-hour high-speed train. Chu Fan sat in the café, holding her forehead with her hands, as if she was about to become steel because you hated iron and became steel, she sighed and said to Chen Yi who was sitting opposite, "You are not familiar with life over there, if you are wronged by Bai Qi, who can you find to cry?
Chen Yi thought it was funny, "How could Bai Qi abuse me?"
"He's so big, with muscles all over his body, and he has a pair of eyes like this, like a good person?" Chu Fan stretched the corners of his eyes with both hands, imitating Bai Qi's narrow eyes, and said excitedly, "Look at Guo Zhongxue again, he looks like the reincarnation of a living Buddha, the face of a great good man, who could have guessed that he would do it in a hurry?" People will change, in the future, Bai Qi will look at you unpleasantly, he will push you, and you will be able to fly out of the window, the territory of the United States is full of wilderness, and no one will know if you are buried, because you don't have any relatives around. ”
Chen Yi frowned at Chu Fan's alarmism, "Bai Tang also went with us, the three of us are a family, so I have relatives." ”
"Come on, you, the two of them are together, what's the matter, do you see her towards you or towards her brother, besides, you are a fart family, do you and Bai Qi want to get married and get a license?Is there a legal guarantee that you are a family?" Chu Fan was so excited that he picked up the cup but put it down heavily without taking a sip, and a small piece of coffee stain was left on the table, she said, "As soon as you are alone, you will be like a black household, you are going missing, they don't report the crime, and no one knows that you are in the world." ”
Chen Yi felt that she was making trouble unreasonably, and couldn't help but show a nerve-wracking expression and said, "Why do you think people are so bad, I live with them every day, can I understand them better than you?"
Chu Fan said: "Everything must be prepared for the worst, so that when something as bad as ordinary happens, you will feel that it is okay and bearable." ”
Chen Yi shrugged. "Okay, you have the wisdom of life. ”
"Don't talk about wisdom now, even common sense is running out, your brain is broken. After Chu Fan finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and pointed at Chen Yi, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Is Bai Qi's ability particularly outstanding in that aspect or what? Look at your self-defeating strength, you almost don't wear a dog collar around your neck." ”
Chen Yi rolled his eyes.
"It's not okay for a woman to have her own career, no matter if the man gives you a golden nest or a dog kennel, it's not your nest, now Bai Qi is willing to pay you money, it is also taken out of his wallet, you can't take it out of your own pocket, you believe me, in this world, the closest relatives are money. After Chu Fan took a sip of coffee, he seemed to quickly go through his little half of his life in his mind, and said with a long breath, "So men are still smart, you see, the whole society is encouraging men to put their careers first, no one has ever persuaded men to put their families first, if there is really a man who throws his head and spills blood for love, others take him as a fool, you look at those myths and legends, a poor scholar and a female monster love to die and live again, he is also worried about the fame, and the ancient people are clearer than you." ”
Chen Yi nodded, agreeing with Chu Fan's point of view, she said: "I went to the United States and can have a career, Bai Qi doesn't want me to be a housewife." ”
Chu Fan shook his index finger and interrupted her: "Come on, although you haven't made a big deal in Beijing, at least you have met a lot of people and accumulated contacts, which are all resources, and everyone is a Chinese-speaking person, close to the heart, how can you get it immediately when you go abroad, you haven't been abroad, you don't know, the language barrier and folk customs are a wall that can't be broken." ”
Chen Yi asked rhetorically, "What's the use of these connections for me? People have been in Beijing for so many years, and they haven't helped me, and when I'm leaving, they will suddenly want to pull me out?"
Chu Fan replied to her, "It's not useless, it's not time, don't underestimate the accumulation of more than ten years, you can become the person you are now, and these years of personal struggle are inseparable, you are only a few steps away from success, you should continue to persevere, you have given up yourself, those who want to help you, can't wait for the opportunity to make a move." With that, she patted her chest and said, "Look, aren't I just going to stretch out my hand? The hardships you have endured with me in the past have been exchanged for my trust in you today." ”
Chu Fan's bitter words did not impress Chen Yi, who had made up her mind, her shoulder muscles were very relaxed, and her heart was already calm, she said in a very indifferent tone: "I am reluctant to go a few steps away from success, I am really dead." ”
After a period of silence, Chu Fan clenched his hands into fists, let out a silent scream into the air, and then gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to be angry with me, if you can't be angry with me, you can also be angry with your mother!"
Chen Yi smiled, "Maybe my dad was angry first......
She asked, "Did you tell them?"
She replied, "Not yet." ”
Chu Fan knocked on Chen Yi's mobile phone on the desktop and said, "Look, you know in your heart that this thing is magic, it's unreasonable, and you can't open your mouth to your parents." ”
"I'll speak now. Chen Yi picked up the phone, but hesitated for a few seconds before putting it down weakly, "I shouldn't be at home during the day, I'll call again at night." ”

In the evening, Chen Yi made dinner, took advantage of Bai Qi's not yet returned home, went to the balcony and mustered up the courage to call home, it was his father Chen Kuo who answered, it is estimated that he was sitting in the living room so he picked it up, she and he exchanged a few words, Chen Kuo is a more serious father, and the communication with Chen Yi from childhood to adulthood can be said to be a handful, and the concern he can put forward is the classic three sentences: "How are you doing? How is your work? Is there enough money to spend?"
Chen Yi then played out about a few hundred words of answers based on these three questions, and if he ended the conversation with "okay, okay, enough", then the length of communication between their father and daughter would be too embarrassing.
Sure enough, Chen Kuo transferred the phone to Zhou Biyun after the classic three consecutive questions, "Change your mother to tell you." ”
Zhou Biyun was cooking, and yelled at the phone, "I'm afraid that my food will burn, you have something to say!"
Chen Yi wanted to catch this point in time, she hoped to finish the explanation as soon as possible, Zhou Biyun was in a hurry, so she opened the fence and let her go, just like when she was a child, every time she took advantage of her mother's cooking, she told her that she wanted to go out with her friends for a while, she stir-fried the dishes in the pot, and said impatiently: "Go." ”
However, regarding her decision to go to the United States, Zhou Biyun did not say: "Go ahead." ”
What she said was, "You're trying to me off!"
Zhou Biyun made a lot of noise on the phone, to the effect that their family has a daughter Chen Yi, so abroad, who will provide for the elderly in the future? When he is old, he will inevitably be sick, in case he falls ill, there is no young man in the house who can help send him to the hospital, this is the New Year's holiday, other people's children will rush back from all directions to accompany the elderly, a big room is lively, and now they have no grandson in the house to tease, forget it, it is difficult to see a daughter in the future, the house is cold, and the old man has nothing to rely on.
For the questions she raised, Chen Yidu replied one by one with corresponding solutions, the problem of pension can be asked to be a confinement lady at home, and she promised to go home every Spring Festival, but Zhou Biyun was not satisfied, and finally hung up the phone with a scolding.
At this time, Bai Tang was not at home, it was quiet all around, Chen Yi, who was still wearing an apron, sighed, returned to the bedroom, pinched the phone and sat on the edge of the bed, a sense of emptiness and helplessness hit, making her shiver, since she poured all her attention into Bai Qi, she had not felt like this for a long time, she felt that she was alone, floating on the boundless sea, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and her strength was slowly diluted by the sea and the night.
"Chen Yi, sitting here in a daze?" Bai Qi pushed the door in, and the light in the living room spread like daylight on Chen Yi's boat, he turned on the light and asked strangely, "Don't turn on the light, are you okay?"
The bright light lit up Chen Yi's body temperature, and she came back to her senses and smiled slightly, "I'm waiting for you to go home." ”
Bai Qi walked over, hugged her and said with a smile, "Schengen is done, let's go to Europe to have fun." ”

A week later, Chen Yizheng was packing his luggage to Italy, but was interrupted by a phone call from Chen Kuo, and his father suppressed his anger on the phone and said, "Come back, your mother is sick." ”
