On the way back to the city from the Beijing Airport, sitting in a simple Mercedes-Benz car, Xiao Sui couldn't wait to confide in Gu Biao some warm words, and also told him about his recent situation.

Of course, Mercedes-Benz bought it in advance, using import indicators, paying for foreign exchange, and Xiao Sui helped run the procedures.

Gu Biao is worth this value, even if the domestic card is strict, buying a Mercedes-Benz is almost as difficult as going to the toilet, and there is nothing to say about the process.

The sound insulation of the car is good, the driver's seat is separated from the back position, and the sound absorption treatment is done to prevent the driving bodyguard from hearing the conversation between the employer and other guests.

This kind of facility is rare in the current cars in China, and Mina specially let people change it.

In fact, not to mention the specially customized interior, even the Mercedes Benz itself is quite rare.

After the excitement calmed down a little, and returned to the state of daily life at home, Xiao Sui discussed confidently: "Husband, there is something I want to ask you - I want to get married after grad school, okay? It is exactly two years, half a year later than the original plan." ”

Before studying abroad, Gu Biao mentioned "I will marry you when I come back after graduation, don't be afraid", Xiao Sui obviously always remembered.

Gu Biao knew that Xiao Sui had entered the literature workshop for graduate school, so he smiled indifferently:

"What's the matter? The school doesn't allow marriage, I respect your opinion. However, I remember that the literature workshop did not recruit new undergraduates, and the other students were all old, and there were many people who came to study after getting married and having children. ”

"It has nothing to do with the school rules, it's just that I want to fight. Xiao Sui sighed, "With you, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and I always feel that I am less and less worthy of you." However, I always want to do my best in the field I struggle for, and prove myself - husband, can you tolerate my willfulness. ”

"To put it bluntly, what does this have to do with getting married? Could it be that getting married will delay your own career?" Gu Ao laughed narrowly, and squeezed Xiao Sui without malice.

Xiao Sui blushed in a hurry: "Of course it's not affecting my career, it's that I want to rely on myself - let's put it this way, before I entered the literature workshop, I felt that I was also an ordinary young writer." At most, I am considered a top student in Fudan Academy of Liberal Arts, and there are always tens of thousands of people in the national circle who are better than me, or even more powerful than me.

However, when I got the official letter of guarantee from the Literature Institute, my heart was a little bigger, and I wanted to prove myself even more. Perhaps, the literati in the whole country who are as talented and knowledgeable as me are ...... I want to rely on my real skills to rush for the Mao Dun Literature Award in the next year.

You are now a person with eyes and hands, and so many leaders in the cultural field have spoken to you very well. If I marry you first, even if I get the award in the future, others will think that you didn't give the word. Not only will I not be able to lift my head, but I will also cause you to be splashed with dirty water.

It's better for us to fight for nothing, I want to do my best to save a manuscript in the past two years. If you can't win the award in the next year, I will marry you immediately, and if I don't participate in the evaluation for the rest of my life, I won't embarrass you and leave a handle for being attacked. ”

Gu Biao was quite moved when he heard this, but he couldn't help but persuade: "This is your career, why bother to say anything about 'if you can't be evaluated once, you won't participate again'." Those who are pure are self-purifying, do we still need to care about the gossip of those vulgar people.

Besides, the first thing is very subjective, even if it is the Nobel Prize, that is, the people of the jury score it by one vote, how can anyone in the world win the award without 100% non-operation. If you don't win once, you won't be able to compete, and I'll hurt you.

I believe in your level, but the age is a hard injury, the first selection, most of the winners are fifty or sixty years old, fortunately explained that there are too many historical problems left over from the country before. In the second selection, theoretically it will be younger, but why do you have to be forty years old to win the award.

The Nobel Prize in Literature has the unspoken rule that "because people who have passed away, they cannot win the prize, and they have to give priority to the elderly who are not in good health". If you want me to say, for example, Haruki Murakami, the rookie writer who is currently very popular, is less than forty years old, and he still pays great attention to exercise and self-cultivation, I think he will not be able to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for thirty or forty years, so he has to spoil his health and make the jury feel that if he doesn't give it to him this year, he may die next year. ”

Xiao Sui wiped the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help laughing out loud when he was amused by Gu Wei's words. She vented and screwed Gu Biao:

"How can you say that, the grand event in the literary world is so vulgar by you! Besides, I just don't participate in the Mao Dun Literature Award, and it doesn't mean that I won't participate in any awards. Anyway, give me two years, and before I graduate, I can get whatever I want, and then I will obediently marry you.

I've figured it out a long time ago, it doesn't mean anything if you have a prize or not, in the eyes of the jury, maybe 'best-selling' is a kind of original sin, thinking that you are a best-selling is kitsch. Some readers agree, why bother with these. ”

"If you can figure it out like this, that's for the best. I'm okay with that, it's all up to you. Gu Biao followed the advice and ended the discussion.

……

While the couple were chatting, the Mercedes-Benz car soon arrived at the dormitory assigned by Gu Biao when he was in the Foreign Investment Commission, the kind of tube building outside the East Second Ring Road.

Because it was a weekend, there were three or five buses parked on the side of the road in the community, and when Gu Biao saw that there was a Toyota Crown among them, he knew that it was Mina's car.

When he was in the United States, Mina told him that he had bought another Toyota Crown in the capital and drove it when he needed to keep a low profile.

After all, there are only a few Mercedes-Benz cars in the city, and the license plate number is remembered, if Mina drives a Mercedes-Benz to Gu Biao's house, there will be rumors in the unit tomorrow.

Toyota Crown, with the accelerated opening up in recent years, in the second half of 83, there are always hundreds of cars in the capital, and no one recognizes them all.

However, the thought of letting Mina come to meet him in such a dilapidated building, and having to crowd three people into a small room for dinner for a while, Gu Biao felt a burst of guilt in his heart.

It's time to get a villa or something in the capital.

Originally, Gu Biao was to keep a low profile, knowing that the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Water in the capital was too deep, so he only wantonly enclosed land in his hometown Qiantang and occupied the mountain as the king.

Now it seems that even if you can't do it in one step, at least get a place where you can settle down. The city center can't build a lot of civil engineering villas, and the courtyard houses are okay.

If it is really demolished in the future, Gu Biao will admit it.

While she was thinking wildly, Mina had already come out of the house, hugged Gu Ao, and sobbed for a while.

Xiao Sui flashed into the back room and pretended not to see Bai Xue's scene. She also knows that it is not easy for Mina, she hasn't seen Gu Biao for almost a year, so out of sight is clean.

Gu Biao's guilt in his heart is even heavier, this kind of environment without private space is really bad for girls, even if he wants to sweetly coax them to be happy and make them believe in their single-mindedness, there is no atmosphere.

Gu Biao took pity on the jade and said, "Mina, I have wronged you." It's been a hard year. ”

Mina was very hearty, and wiped the corners of her eyes: "The past is gone, you should endure hardships when you are young, anyway, in the next three weeks, I will pestering you, don't even want to drive me away." ”

"How can I give it up? Gu Biao licked the corners of Mina's eyes and cheeks, helped her wipe away the tears, and then hugged her to the sofa domineeringly.

"Sister Sui is still inside!" Mina resisted smildly.

Gu Biao: "I didn't do anything. ”

Mina still broke free: "On a hot day, I'm not afraid of ugliness, and I will make people sweat, so let's talk about it cooler at night." Look, the dress is soaked by you, so sweaty!"

Mina said, pointing to the round-neck dress on her body, the opening of the round-neck was originally relatively loose, and it was still a white gauze fabric, but now it was rubbed by Gu Ao, and it was drenched in sweat, and even the inside was revealed.

Are you really resisting or are you doing it on purpose?

Gu Biao was just a month of clear soup and little water, and he was disturbed by this atmosphere and went up, but Mina didn't see her for a year.

Although her intellect made her extremely repulsive, her body was out of control.

Cover your ears and steal the bell.

……

"Brother, I don't care, it doesn't matter if I'm ridiculed or ruined. Do whatever you want, don't pity me, I don't want to live that life without seeing you anymore......"

After countless incoherent words in her unconscious state, Mina completely let go of her shame.

As a result, I didn't even eat dinner. Xiao Sui didn't know when he got involved, everyone tacitly did it, just did it and didn't say it, it was almost the same as sleepwalking.

If you want to wear it for half a year, don't smile at people who have been looking at it for a year, everyone is the same.

Now, Gu Biao doesn't want to say anything apologetic, he just wants to look forward.

"Tomorrow, let's go and get a place where the courtyard is not disturbed. Mina, you're in the ministry, and if you have any indicators lately, you can buy a courtyard house or something. For the next three weeks, I promise to be with you every day until you go to Iraq. ”

Mina was confused: "What indicators can I have, it's quite exciting...... You big bad......"

Gu Biao rubbed two handfuls hard, pulled them out and got up, knowing that he was the only one to worry about this matter.

Women can be affectionate and full, but men cannot be without responsibility.

Early the next morning, he made a bunch of phone calls about his connections, and then he actually got an indicator near his alma mater.

Just opposite the Foreign Affairs University, in a remote corner of the Yuyuantan Park area, there is a courtyard house that was levied in the past. Originally, the land was going to be demolished and given to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, but when the Diaoyutai was covered, the plan was changed, and some corners were not used, so they were left.

The State Guesthouse was originally owned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Foreign Investment Commission, and was adjacent to the Foreign Affairs University. Gu Biao has such a big face, and he can only instigate it in the extra indicators of the foreign affairs system.

"No one has repaired the house since the 60s, and it is allowed to settle down according to foreign investment, rebuild it at your own expense, and keep the appearance of the courtyard, with a land of 100,000 yuan. ”

This is the condition given by the unit.

Gu Biao auctioned 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to getting a land use right - now those courtyard houses in the suburbs of Zhongguancun in the capital, if there are indicators, only a few thousand yuan can get one. The courtyard near the second ring road has an index of no more than 30,000 or 50,000, which is already 32 columns. Gu Biao is only an indicator of the relevant diplomatic departments, and the Diaoyutai is next door, so he paid twice as much.

Break the house and clean it first, there is a place to settle in a separate courtyard in the capital, and when I return to the United States for the last semester, let Xiao Sui help find someone to rebuild, anyway, Xiao Sui will study in the capital for two years.
