Cheng Yijie took the train to Yidu at 7 o'clock in the morning, and then took the bus back to Fandu in Yidu.

Even Liao Fanmin thinks that Cheng Zhenlin's requirements for Cheng Yijie are too strict, and they are too mechanical, in fact, there is a direct flight from Beijing to Fandu, and it is much easier to take a plane, it is nothing more than a higher ticket price, counting the cost of the journey, maybe it will be cheaper to take a plane.

There are some things in officialdom that may not be clear, and Liao Fanmin is not willing to think about it so much.

When I walked out of the train station and had just gotten into the car, my phone rang.

Liao Fanmin looked at the caller ID and immediately connected the phone.

"Husband, what are you busy with? ”

"Still sleeping, ready to get up. ”

"I'm going to the classroom soon, husband, I can't go home this Spring Festival, I can't see you, what should I do? ”

Liao Fanmin's heart was a little annoyed, and when he heard Cheng Yahui's voice, he couldn't help it.

"Xiaohui, are you so busy studying, why can't you go home during the Spring Festival. ”

"The professor said that my foundation is not very good, I need to study hard, I have to participate in a lot of interview activities, I need to use English to converse, my English speaking gap is still very large, if I don't work hard, it will affect the next semester's homework, in fact, I also want to go home, but there is no way. ”

It was more than seven o'clock in the morning in Nanhua City, and it was about eight o'clock in the evening in the eastern United States, and Cheng Yahui should be in the classroom or in the student apartment at this time, but Liao Fanmin heard a noisy voice on the phone.

Liao Fanmin felt a little angry in his heart, he found that he was a little too confident in his feelings, in fact, he should have decisively prevented Cheng Yahui from studying in the United States.

"Xiaohui, let me ask you something, is Chen Wei going home for the New Year. ”

"Husband, what's wrong with you, is Chen Wei coming home, how do I know, I haven't touched him... ”

"That's good, I'm a little worried, it seems that I'm too worried, you are studying in the United States, it is really hard, I can't help much, I can only wish you a smooth study. ”

Liao Fanmin's tone has become not very good, he can't help it at all, Cheng Yahui has long decided not to go home for the New Year, Cheng Zhenlin, Luo Yuhua and Cheng Yijie all knew, but he was kept in the dark until the thirteenth day of the lunar month, seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, Cheng Yahui called, which made Liao Fanmin very uncomfortable.

In Liao Fanmin's impression, Cheng Yahui was not like this before, maybe she studied abroad and gradually matured after suffering some hardships, but this is not what Liao Fanmin wants to see, he doesn't want to find a strong woman.

"Husband, I heard you speak in a bad tone, what's wrong with you. ”

"It's nothing, you study hard in the United States, take care of yourself, my internship unit is about to go on vacation, I won't go home immediately after the holiday, the company still has some things to deal with for me, I may also be busy, if I forget to call you then, you have to call to remind me." ”

"Husband, I don't, you make it clear, is it that I can't go home for the New Year, you're unhappy, but I really can't go home." ”

"Xiaohui, don't say much, the company is calling, there may be something, I need to deal with it, you study hard in the United States, during the Spring Festival, remember to call your uncle and aunt, if you don't go home for the New Year, they must feel uncomfortable, talk to them well, let them feel more comfortable, must remember, if there is nothing else, I hung up the phone." ”

Hung up the phone, Liao Fanmin's heart was very uncomfortable, he didn't mean to snub Cheng Yahui, if Cheng Yahui was indeed nervous about studying and considered not going home for the New Year, Liao Fanmin couldn't say anything, but when Liao Fanmin's tone was obviously bad, Cheng Yahui was still explaining that he was nervous about studying and couldn't go home for the New Year, which made Liao Fanmin very annoyed, it seems that in Cheng Yahui's heart, studies are already the first.

With Liao Fanmin's understanding of Cheng Yahui, Cheng Yahui is not a scholar, not a person who loves to learn so much, why has it changed so much in more than half a year in the United States.

Is America really a place where people can be completely transformed?

More than ten minutes later, the mobile phone rang again, and Liao Fanmin was driving at this moment.

With a sigh, he parked the car on the side of the road, and Liao Fanmin answered the phone.

Cheng Yahui's choked voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Husband, I feel uncomfortable and want to talk to you. ”

"Xiaohui, aren't you going to the classroom, don't you go at this time, it's almost nine o'clock in the evening, and I feel uncomfortable and wait until the end of class to call, otherwise it will affect my learning." ”

Cheng Yahui on the other end of the phone was a little speechless.

A shadow appeared on Liao Fanmin's face.

"Husband, I don't want to go to class anymore, it's all this time. ”

"Xiaohui, I know that studying abroad is very hard, the process of learning is even harder, you don't plan to go home for the New Year, stay in the United States to study seriously, although I am uncomfortable, but still support, more than half a year, it is said that you should be integrated into the life of the United States, at least you have adapted to everything in the United States, you can't have no friends in the United States, and it is impossible to have no other activities, this is unrealistic, every time you call me, either in the classroom or in the apartment, is this possible, I have been putting up with it before, I have not said it, I am afraid that you will hear it uncomfortable, just like saying that I can't always be at work or at home, Xiaohui, do you say yes。 ”

There was silence on the other end of the line, and a full ten seconds passed, and no words were spoken.

"Xiaohui, I don't want you to change too much, studying abroad, it is impossible without any changes, after all, you have gained knowledge, not to mention that you are studying in the United States, I am interning in the Legislative Affairs Office, I feel a lot of things that I have not experienced, and I also feel the changes in myself, at least I have become a lot smoother. ”

"I cherish the relationship between us, that's why I say these words, Xiaohui, I hope you understand my hard work. ”

Cheng Yahui, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Husband, come to the United States to accompany me after graduation, okay? ”

"This is impossible, Xiaohui, my roots are in China, maybe after I stand firm, I will go to the United States to have a look, you know, I took the initiative to give up the opportunity to study in the United States, and I have already expressed my attitude. ”

"But if you leave me alone in the United States, I will be very lonely. ”

"Xiaohui, this is the choice you made, I said at the beginning, if you insist on studying in the United States, you will have to bear everything you may encounter, I hope you hold on, I am waiting for you in China. ”

"Husband, the United States is better than China, there are many opportunities, I want you to come to the United States, can't we live here. ”

Liao Fanmin's hands trembled a little.

"No, I won't go to the United States to live, Xiaohui, listen to me, men are big trees, women are duckweed, if the big tree moves, it will wither because of the incompatibility of water and soil, duckweed drifts anywhere, can live by relying on the environment, I'm afraid I am the tree that can't be moved." ”

"Husband, I understand, you let me think about it. ”

Hanging up the phone, Liao Fanmin was silent.

A feeling of powerlessness, haunting in my heart again, people will always change, sometimes overconfident, is to let yourself fall into the abyss, when Cheng Yahui decided to study in the United States, Liao Fanmin was uncomfortable in his heart, but did not insist on his own opinions, although there was a lot of helplessness, but this decision was wrong, a little wrong.

Once people's hearts change, a delicate situation will appear, and now Liao Fanmin can be sure that there must be contact between Cheng Yahui and Chen Wei, but this kind of contact is still in a calm state, in just half a year, it is impossible for Cheng Yahui to change greatly in her emotional life, but after a year, two years, or even three years, what will happen, who can guarantee it.

Liao Fanmin will never go to the United States, this is his principle, because his roots are in China, only in China, he can show his ambitions, once he goes to the United States, he can't take root, can't fight, depression, will quickly destroy him.

Men cannot live entirely on feelings.

Before the sedan could be started, the phone rang again.

I looked at my watch, it was close to nine o'clock, and at this moment it should be said that it was close to ten o'clock in the eastern part of the United States.

"Husband, I can't come back for the Spring Festival, I will take the time to go home in the near future, you have to wait for me. ”

"Okay, when are you ready to go home and have a look, call me, I will pick you up at the airport, whether it is Beijing or Shanghai, I want you to come back and see." ”

"Well, time is uncertain, there is one more thing, just now I came out with a few classmates, wandering on the street, I didn't tell the truth, husband, you have to forgive me. ”

"I didn't blame you in the first place, oh, I forgot to tell you one thing, your brother Cheng Yijie played with me for a day, and went back today, he talked about a friend in Beijing, Beijing Technology and Business University, during the internship in his senior year, he was also preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination and go to the United States to study, Cheng Yijie asked for my opinion, I told him very clearly, he and his girlfriend had no play, Cheng Yijie also figured it out, and may have made a decision. ”

Cheng Yahui on the other end of the phone suddenly became louder.

"Husband, why did you tell me about this, why didn't you stop me from studying in the United States, I've been in the United States for half a year, do you want to give up your studies and return to China, what face do I have when I return to China, I can't do it, woo woo... ”

Hearing Cheng Yahui's cry, Liao Fanmin was still very calm, and what he said meant something, just to remind Cheng Yahui and prevent Cheng Yahui's heart from fluctuating.

"Xiaohui, you should understand what I mean, in fact, I stopped you at the beginning, but I didn't insist, I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to hurt my uncle and aunt's heart, I always think that everything will pass, I'm overconfident, it's my mistake, now I say these words, not to blame you, but to blame myself, you are not wrong, I am wrong, but I hope my mistake will not lead to a situation that we all want to see. ”
