"Teacher Li, what do you plan to do when you go abroad?"

"What can I do? I haven't been engaged in teaching and research in China for a long time, and I don't know how many years behind foreign countries in what I studied before, it's impossible to go out and want to be a teacher, it's impossible to teach, and it's ......impossible to study at this age," he sighed, "My brother-in-law opened a Chinese restaurant, we will probably help there, wash the dishes, serve the dishes and collect money, fortunately, my English is okay, not to mention anything else, it should be possible to mix food and clothing." ”

"Don't you think it's a pity?"

Li Jiyuan looked melancholy, "It's a pity, but isn't everyone like this? It's not just me who is a pity, if you want to say it's a pity, it's more regret, if you choose to go abroad from the beginning, I'm afraid our situation will be much better than now, it doesn't matter if I'm alone, as long as they live well." ”

For so many years, he didn't know how much he had been complained about by his wife, but now that he finally had the opportunity to go abroad to change his life, he couldn't drag his wife and children back anymore.

"It's not just you who are sorry, it's a pity that we are the students of H University, they have just been admitted to the university, and they come to the school with enthusiasm to learn knowledge, but their teachers have gone abroad. ”

"There are still a lot of excellent teachers in the school, and even if I go abroad, it won't make a difference. Li Jiyuan took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, "To tell the truth, this earth can turn without anyone, I have been in the countryside for so many years, except for giving popular science lectures to children, I have never been on the podium at all, and the school is not still running well." ”

Li Jiyuan has been working in the countryside for so many years, and he is not without resentment in his heart, after all, he is just an ordinary person, and his moral sentiment is not so high.

Liu Haohao was speechless, she was different from Li Jiyuan, she had never experienced such ups and downs as them, and she had not experienced such a mental journey from ambition to discouragement and disappointment, so she couldn't understand his choice before, when he said this, she couldn't say her unspoken words.

"I know you mean well, but I've already decided, don't persuade me anymore, after I go abroad, the third brother will trouble you to take care of it here. Li Jiyuan said embarrassedly, "They really treat you as a family member, and they will come and go often in the future, take care of each other, and I can rest assured abroad." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I fell in love with Aunt Yu's new sister, and I also treat them as relatives," Liu Hao smiled melancholy, "Mr. Li, if you are not comfortable abroad, you can also choose to return to China......"

Zhuang Lijun glanced at Liu Haohao, she has always had a high emotional intelligence, but she said such things to denigrate Li Jiyuan before leaving, which shows that she is really worried about his future.

Fortunately, Li Jiyuan didn't think about it, he smiled at her, looking very optimistic, "How can the days be smooth sailing, no matter how uncomfortable the days in this life, I have also come, there will be no wind and rain in the future, even if there are some small difficulties and small obstacles, stand up, and you can come over if you insist on it, and escape can't solve any problems." ”

The circumstances of life tempered Li Jiyuan, making him from a weak scholar who did not care about mundane affairs, to become extremely strong and forbearing.

"By the way, I can't celebrate with you when you get married, here is a little caution from me, leave a memorial for you. Li Jiyuan took out something wrapped in an old newspaper from the bookcase and opened it carefully.

There are two Shoushan stone seals lying on the old newspaper, the texture is warm and clean, delicate and pure, it can be seen that it is a good material of the same stone, the dragon and phoenix carved in hollow on the seal are lifelike, it seems to be everyone's handwriting, but the bottom of the seal is very smooth, and the words have not been engraved.

"It's too expensive for us to take it. Liu Haohao immediately refused, although these two seals are not valuable now, they will definitely be worth a lot of money in a few decades.

"It's not a valuable thing, it's two pieces of material that I bought when I was young, so that an old friend of mine carved such a pair of dragons and phoenixes, I originally planned to carve my name and give it to our family, but unfortunately she didn't like it, so it has been idle. Now we don't plan to bring this thing to country M, but we might as well give it to the two of you, and when the time comes, you will have your name engraved, which can be regarded as my wedding gift to you. Li Jiyuan said sadly that his wife has a foreign style and has never been very interested in traditional culture, and it is a waste for these two small things to be left in his hands.

Liu Haohao also knows his wife's temper, after all, she was the daughter of a wealthy family in Nanyang, and she doesn't know how many good things she has seen, so she will not take these "old antiques" out of the country.

Liu Hao pushed but had no choice but to accept his kindness, but she came in a hurry, except for the candy and snacks that she had prepared before to visit relatives and friends, she didn't prepare any gifts, and she was a little unhappy.

"Don't be embarrassed, we're going abroad with our family, and we can't bring too many things," Li Jiyuan smiled bitterly, his wife hated everything in the family now, and couldn't wait to bring any of them, and bought them all abroad, "But I will take this set of books you recommended me out of the country at that time, and I will have a thought abroad in the future." ”

Li Jiyuan took off the brand-new set of sample books in the bookcase and patted them lightly.

"I've heard that this set of books is selling very well, the first printing has all been sold out, and the supply is still in short supply, and the publisher is preparing to print thousands more copies, and everyone says that you are a great popular science writer. Liu said with a good smile.

"Really?" Li Jiyuan's eyes lit up, and he shook his head and laughed, "The circumstances of life are so wonderful, when I was young, I wanted to become a scientist wholeheartedly and research results that were beneficial to the country, but I didn't achieve anything for decades, but because I gave a few popular science lectures to a few elementary school students, I published such a set of books, and became a popular science writer, and now I am getting old, and these hands that do experiments and write papers are going to wash the dishes and serve the dishes......"

Speaking of this, he stopped his mouth in a self-conscious manner, after all, no one forced him, it was his own choice, what else was there to complain about?

Coming out of Li Jiyuan's house, Liu Haohao not only looked back at the building, as if he could see the lonely figure standing behind the window.

"If Mr. Li could adjust his emotions in time, maybe such a tragedy would not have happened. Zhuang Lijun said with emotion.
