Chapter 87
Lin Changning was silent for a short time, only a minute at most, but it was a little abrupt in this lively and cheerful atmosphere, Chen Anxiu noticed that a leader-like person next to him motioned to the staff on the stage to go over, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was explaining.
The student who asked the question quietly touched Chen Anxiu and said, "What should I do, I seem to have made Professor Lin angry." Isn't that really abrupt?"
"No, he's not the kind of person who cares. ”
"How do you know Lu Dao?" the tone was so sure.
Chen Anxiu replied to him with two words, "Feeling." ”
"Classmate, this answer is so shameful, it's like saying it in vain. ”
In fact, at this moment, Chen Anxiu was also wondering, what was the uncle hesitating, was he afraid that he was here, and some questions were not easy to ask? If this is the case, in fact, there is no need, for the little aunt and David, he really does not have any rejection, since he was a child, he has parents, younger brothers and sisters, and his family affection has never been short of half a point, so no matter what the reason for the separation is, he hopes that the uncle is happy, and the aunt and David have given the uncle a complete and normal family, which is very good.
Catching up with Lin Changning's complicated gaze from the stage, Chen Anxiu gestured, he went outside to wait for someone, but before he got up, he heard Lin Changning say, "My wife and son are in the United States." The child is still in high school. ”
Chen Anxiu stopped his movements.
"Professor Lin, would you suggest that he major in biology?"
Lin Changning said lightly in a fatherly tone, "He doesn't seem to be interested in my professional field at all, and I think he would rather be a journalist who can run around than this." Zhuang Zhuang must be very conflicted in his heart, so let him make this decision.
The staff in charge of hosting on the stage also said in a timely manner, "It sounds like Professor Lin has a very happy family, which is really enviable." ”
Lin Changning smiled, his gaze lightly on Chen Anxiu's body, "In fact, this is indeed the case. ”
Happiness is always a beautiful thing, the students in the audience sent blessings with applause, the atmosphere was lively again, and this page was quickly lifted.
After the boy sat down, he and Chen Anxiu sighed, "If a person lives like Professor Lin, it can be considered complete, his work and career are so good, and his family is so happy that people are jealous." It sounds like his children are also smart, which means that his wife is also a smart woman. ”
"How do you infer that his son is wise, and his wife is wise?"
"Haven't you heard anyone say that whether a child is smart or not is mainly inherited from the mother, although there is no scientific conclusion on this, but many people say so, there should still be some basis. However, if the child had inherited it from Professor Lin, he might be smarter. ”
Chen Anxiu pressed his chin to the ground and said, "I think you're right. ”
After the report, the school leaders and students rushed to the stage to take a group photo, and Chen Anxiu took the opportunity to retreat and wait for him under the tree outside the door.
Lin Changning came out accompanied by a group of people, and when he saw Chen Anxiu, he nodded, and someone immediately noticed this, "Changning, your son is really ...... Ripe. ”
Lin Changning smiled and said, "Senior brother, he is ...... My nephew. He came to pick me up. ”
"I'll just say, your son is obviously a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student, how can he look twenty-three or four. He turned his head and asked Chen Anxiu, who was approaching, "Is the young man studying or working?"
"An Xiu, this is my senior brother in the university before, your name is Uncle Li, senior brother, this is my sister's son, called Chen Anxiu. ”
"Hello Uncle Li, I'm already working. ”
Li Ruihua asked the other people around him to be busy, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The young man is really energetic, exactly the same as your uncle when he was young, your uncle was a famous talent in our biology department at that time, many girls like it, even I want to introduce my sister to him, who knows that he went to the United States as soon as he graduated." ”
Lin Changning said on the side, "Senior brother, how many years old Huang Li has passed, you still take it out and talk about it." ”
"I thought Ruitang was too enthusiastic and scared you away. ”
"How come, I have long planned to go abroad, how is Ruitang now?"
"It's very good, after graduating from college, she opened a software company, and now she is also a good business, her lover works in Lu Jiangyuan's Hongyuan Group, and the two have settled in Beijing for many years, Lu Jiangyuan, do you remember?"
Lin Changning said very blandly, "It's still a little impressive." ”
"It's true that it's hard for this person to be forgotten, there were few people in the school who overshadowed him back then, and now it's also very good, last year's class reunion, he also went, and when Lu Lao talked about you, he also asked two words. ”
"Really?" may also feel that his tone was too cold, Lin Changning took the initiative to say, "The year before last, my family accompanied Lu Lao to the United States for medical treatment, and lived there for a while. ”
"So there was such a thing. ”
When they were about to separate, Li Ruihua repeatedly kept them, wanting them to go home for a meal together. However, he was still politely rejected by Lin Changning.
"Okay, I'm not reluctant, let's get together again when we have time, my suggestion, you should also consider it, now the domestic scientific research conditions are also very good." The state also attaches great importance to this area. ”
"Okay, I'll think about it. Senior brother, let's get in touch another day. ”
After getting into the car, Chen Anxiu asked Lin Changning, "Uncle, shall we go home now?"
"I'm not in a hurry, let's go to the beach first, you came here today, you should have something to say to me." ”
There is no parking space on the beach, Chen Anxiu now found a parking space on the nearby street, and the two walked over, the Qianhai line here is the most famous tourist attraction in Ludao City, so although it is not the peak tourist season, you can still see some scattered tourists.
"Uncle, does Uncle Li want you to return to China to work?"
"He's talked to me about it before, and this time it's a rehash. ”
"Uncle, did you agree?"
There are many white seagulls hovering on the sea, and many tourists buy seagull food to feed.
After doing many psychological constructions, Lin Changning couldn't hold back after all, he asked, "Do you want me to come back?"
"Uncle, you don't have to feel indebted to me, don't you think I'm doing well now? "My uncle also has his own family and career, so I don't have to revolve around him alone.
Lin Changning turned his head to look at the sea, and his ten fingers spasmodically grasped the iron railing on the seaside, hoping that his eyes would be extinguished inch by inch, the sea breeze would pour into his ears, and everything around him would be like a silent picture in front of his eyes. He had long known that Zhuang Zhuang didn't need his father at all. What the hell is he expecting, after all, he still doesn't want to die.
"Uncle, uncle......" Chen Anxiu shouted several times in a row, but there was no response from the other end, and he finally realized that something was abnormal.
"Uncle......" Chen Anxiu broke the man's fingers, and when he saw the red bloodshot in the man's eyes, he said that he was not shocked, but it was fake. After all, after being separated for so many years, he always thought that his uncle should feel more guilty than family affection for him.
Lin Changning dodged his gaze and pretended to be calm, "I came to the school today to make a report, and I wrote a draft overnight last night, maybe I stayed up a little late, and my eyes have been uncomfortable today." At my age, I'm no younger than you, and now I can see it when I stay up late. Zhuangzhuang, don't you have something to say? I promise your grandmother that I will go back early tonight. ”
Lin Changning's speed of speech was so fast that Chen Anxiu couldn't interject at all, and it wasn't until he finished speaking that Chen Anxiu spoke, "Uncle, let's come step by step, okay?"
"What do you mean? Lin Changning was afraid that he would be wrong, he didn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes now.
Chen Anxiu gave him a hug very naturally and said, "Uncle, I don't dare to say that I can treat you like a father immediately, but I will try." The other party didn't respond, and he was a little drumming in his heart, "Uncle, do you disagree?"
Lin Changning's fist clenched for a long time before he restrained his almost hoarse voice, patted Chen Anxiu's back and said, "This is already very good." For a father who has not done anything for him in 28 years, Zhuang Zhuang is still willing to accept him, he is very satisfied.
Chen Anxiu smiled and didn't speak, it felt so good that a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, everyone was relaxed, his brother-in-law shouldn't be so careful, he should always be as dazzling and confident as on stage. For this matter, he had awkwardness and rejection in his heart, but since it happened, he must always learn to face it.
In the evening, Chen Anxiu sent Lin Changning back, the sea rose, and it was inconvenient to leave the island, so he stayed on the island for one night. Lin Changning was busy with dinner alone, and Chen Anxiu was in the yard to help his grandmother pluck out her fallen eyelashes. It's a meticulous job, and he does it very seriously.
From the two of them entering the door, the old lady found that it was a little different from before, although it was not very close, but it was much more natural to get along.
"Uncle, put some sugar in the fried tomatoes, I smell the sour smell here. ”
"Oh, okay. Lin Changning quickly agreed in the kitchen.
"Grandma, pull out the five, are your eyes more comfortable now?"
The old lady rubbed her eyelids, blinked again, and said, "Okay, it's not sandy at all." It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable. ”
At night, the two slept on the kang in the east house, looking through the old photos of the family, and when they turned to the one with David and Erin many years ago, Chen Anxiu said, "Uncle, many photos of our family are in this background, a large piece of blue cloth, at first glance there are flowers and water, but this photo studio, I demolished it before I went to high school, and I still remember that there is a big cloth tiger in his house." I used to ride on it for pictures when I was a kid. You see, on the right hand side of my aunt, you can still see the tiger's claws exposed. ”
"We divorced a few years ago. ”
"Huh?" Chen Anxiu didn't hear what he said clearly for a while.
"Erin and I divorced more than a decade ago. ”
