Lin Changning presided over the scientific research project at the State Oceanic Research Institute, and has achieved a lot of results in the past two years, this time he came to Beijing to participate in a scientific and technological achievements exhibition held by the State Council and the subsequent science and technology award conference, originally he wanted to let other people come, but his mentor Mr. Lu Zengming personally called, let him come to Beijing for a gathering, he had to push away everything, with the other eight people of the project team came over.
"Dad, your college teacher? How old is that? Chen Anxiu successfully picked up Lin Changning at the door of the hotel, and the two were in the car on their way back at this time.
"He's in his eighties." Lu Lao's achievements in life genetics have made him enjoy a high reputation in the field of international biology, he was able to go abroad so smoothly, inseparable from the old man's strong recommendation, for this old man, he is respected and grateful from the bottom of his heart, without the protection of this teacher, there would be no Lin Changning now, "I went to the United States to study graduate school in the letter of recommendation, it was written by Lu Lao. ”
"The old man is really long-lived, Dad, when are you going to see him?"
"The appointment is the day after tomorrow, he is older now, and he sees fewer outsiders." The car drove smoothly into the community, "The environment here is really good. "In a place like Beijing, there are streams, lakes and large green spaces in the community," by the way, I heard you call before, don't you live with Zhang Shinian's parents? "With those two old men, it seems impossible to live in such a place.
As soon as they met and talked, Chen Anxiu forgot about this stubble, "Dad, I live with Uncle Lu now." ”
"What?" Lin Changning was shocked, and turned his head to look at him, what did Zhuang Zhuang mean by this.
After turning a corner, the house was in front of him, Chen Anxiu temporarily parked the car on the side of the road, "It's just that there are too many people on the Ji family's side, and I don't like to make a fuss, so I moved to Uncle Lu to live here for a few days, and you just happened to come over." Daddy, if you don't like it, I'll ......."
Lin Changning really didn't want to step into Lu Jiangyuan's territory, let alone such a private place as his home, but he didn't want the child to be embarrassed, "It's okay, let's go, I'm just going to see Ton Ton and Mao Mao." With the current relationship between him and Lu Jiangyuan, Lu Jiangyuan couldn't do anything to him, and that time on the phone, they talked away.
Tons of piano followed the newly invited piano teacher to practice in the piano room, Lu Jiangyuan was playing in the living room, and when he heard the sound of a car in the yard, he pushed the door out with someone and said, "Are you back?" ”
Lin Changning raised his head, there were two huge kumquat trees at the door, and the image of Lu Jiangyuan holding the child standing there waiting was instantly frozen because of this sentence, at this moment, he suddenly had an illusion, it seemed that the two had never been separated, but he went out of a long way and walked for a long time, but now he is back. But the illusion is an illusion after all, the reality is that they have been separated for thirty years, and every morning when he washes, the thin lines in the corners of his eyes remind him that a long time has passed.
It's been more than a month since he came to Beijing, and I don't know if he still remembers Lin Changning, but when Lin Changning called him, he still opened his little arms generously, and at the same time opened his mouth, "Ah......"
Open his little hand to hug him, Lin Changning understood, but what did it mean to open his mouth, "Is he hungry?" ”
Lu Jiangyuan explained, "No, he asked you to see his newly erupted teeth. ”
It turns out that since Mao Mao has grown a small tooth, the people in the family have regarded it as a strange thing, today said, Mao Mao, I will look at your teeth, tomorrow said, Mao Mao, I look at your teeth, and praised him when it was over, just like that, after a few days, Mao Mao also regarded his own teeth as a thing that could be shown off, so now when he saw someone, he opened his mouth widely, for fear that others would not know the way, although the tooth was only a little bigger than the millet grain, and he could not see clearly if he did not come up.
Lin Changning laughed, gently pinched his chin to take a look, and did not forget to praise in his mouth, "It's so powerful, it's all teething." "It's like it's a presumptuous credit.
Mao Mao originally felt very proud, praised him like this, and I didn't know what the surname of Lu Dao was, and it was a slam on Lin Changning's face, fortunately he was still clean and had no snot, but rubbing people's saliva was indispensable, but the little grandson rubbed it, Lin Changning was too late to be happy, where would he mind.
Lu Jiangyuan took the initiative to say, "Come in and sit, I should be tired after sitting in the car for so long." ”
"yes, Dad, you guys go in first, I'll take the contents out of the trunk." In the handbag brought by my uncle, I also know what Lu Dao contains, and the weight is quite heavy.
Regarding Lu Jiangyuan's words, Lin Changning nodded silently, turned back to Chen Anxiu and said, "That's the rice cake that your mother asked me to bring, saying that you didn't eat it during the New Year, so I specially left it for you." ”
"My mother is really not too troublesome, and it's not that it is not sold in the supermarket." That being said, but his movements were not like this, he was a little impatient to open the tote bag, which was still covered with a layer of plastic bags, and a dozen round and chubby rice cakes were lying inside. It should have been in the refrigerator before, the ground was as hard as a stone, and it was dry and cracked in some places, "My mother has put a lot of dates this year, Uncle Lu, at noon today, let's steam the rice cakes and eat, so that you can taste the rice cakes made by my mother." ”
"Okay, talk to Sister Zhou."
The heating has not stopped, the house is much warmer than the outside, Lin Changning took off his scarf after entering the house, because he encountered difficulties when he took off his coat, Lu Jiangyuan came over and said, "I'll help you." ”
"No, you don't." Lin Changning dodged for a while, Lu Jiangyuan's fingers brushed the side of his neck, Lin Changning took a step back and said, "You hug it, I'll come by myself." ”
Lin Changning handed Mao Mao out, but Mao Mao didn't do it, probably because he felt that this person was very similar to his father, he and Lin Changning were very close, and at this time Lin Changning wanted to let go of him, so he held on tightly.
Lin Changning is also so soft-hearted to the child that he can't do it, how can he still let go when he sees this.
Lu Jiangyuan approached him and said, "Even if I want to do something, but the children are here, what are you worried about?" ”
Lin Changning raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Even if Zhuang Zhuang recognizes you, it doesn't mean that the relationship between us will change because of this, Mr. Lu, don't say these ambiguous words,"
"Are you going to spend here with me until Zhuang Zhuang comes in?"
Lin Changning said lightly, "Lu Jiangyuan, I haven't seen you all these years, but you are good at your kung fu." "When we first met in Green Island, I saw that Lu Jiangyuan's attitude had obviously given up, why did he have a tendency to entangle recently? I usually call him at every turn and don't say anything, and now I still say these misleading words.
Lu Jiangyuan looked down at him, "We've been separated for thirty years, Changning, isn't it normal to change a little?" ”
Outside the house, Chen Anxiu had already taken out all the things in the trunk and was carrying things up the stairs, Lin Changning didn't want to stand here with Lu Jiangyuan and make people misunderstand anything, so when Lu Jiangyuan reached out again to help, he stretched out his arms cooperatively.
Sister Zhou, the nanny, came down from upstairs with some washed sheets, and cleaned up the room adjacent to the master bedroom today, she planned to dry these changed sheets outside, but when she saw Lin Changning's face, her hand slipped, and the laundry tub fell on the carpet, making a muffled sound, it turned out to be this person, after thirty years, she actually saw this person again.
"What's the matter, Sister Zhou." Lu Jiangyuan asked, Sister Zhou had worked in the Lu family for many years, and then resigned because of family reasons, when he moved here to find a housekeeper, he happened to meet again, she is now alone and old, so he left people behind.
"It's all right, sir, I just slipped my hand." She used to call Sanshao in the past, but she has gradually changed her words in the past few years, she picked up the basin on the ground, looked at Lin Changning, and asked, "Sir, are there any guests at noon today?" I'll go to the supermarket and buy some more groceries. ”
"Well, buy more."
"I have something to do in the afternoon." Originally, he wanted to accompany Ton Ton and Mao Mao more, but this is Lu Jiangyuan's home, so he is not ready to stay longer.
"It's all here, don't you even eat a meal? Tons of tons just kept asking when you were coming, saying that I hadn't seen you for a long time. ”
Children are his weakness, as soon as it comes to this, Lin Changning has no room to refuse at all, not to mention that there is something in the afternoon is his excuse, the itinerary arranged by everyone this afternoon is free activities, and tomorrow a few graduate students will go to arrange the venue.
Lu Jiangyuan knew his temper somewhat, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he understood that he agreed, so he asked people to go down to prepare, and led Lin Changning to sit down in the living room.
Lin Changning and him didn't have much to say, but because there was a bubble churning in the middle, the atmosphere looked okay.
The time for Ton Ton to practice the piano is two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, so at noon, his piano teacher Zhuo Yi also eats here, but this young man does not talk much, except for eating, he only occasionally whispers a few words with Ton Ton. He is a student who was once funded by the Hongyuan Scholarship set up by Lu Jiangyuan, and he respects Lu Jiangyuan very much, so although he is now famous and has constant invitations to perform, as soon as Lu Jiangyuan proposed to let him teach his little grandson, he came over without saying a word and pushed off all the activities.
Zhuo Yi is very measured, and his curiosity is not heavy, but occasionally, he has doubts about the relationship between Chen Anxiu and Lu Jiangyuan, he once thought that these two people might be lovers, after all, Lu Jiangyuan has never been married, and the outside world has always speculated about his sexual choice, but he has seen the way these two people get along a few times, and it is not like, close but not intimate, it is better to say that it is a lover, it is better to say that it is a father and son or an uncle and nephew. But as far as he knew, Lu Jiangyuan didn't have such a son or nephew, and when he saw the new person today, he felt as if he understood something. Looking at Mr. Lu's gaze, it is really telling.
If it weren't for the presence of the child, Lin Changning really had the urge to smash chopsticks, what did Lu Jiangyuan want to do? Do you think that everyone at this table is blind?
In fact, Chen Anxiu also wants to ask this question, as the son of the two, he naturally hopes that the two of them will be together, and they can be companions when they get old, but standing on a relatively fair position, he is more willing to respect the choices of the two of them, after all, they have been separated for all these years, and their respective life trajectories are different, and it is unrealistic to force them together. Looking at it like this, Uncle Lu is intentional, should he help or not?
"Does this remind me?" Zhang Shinian's tone was neither light nor heavy.
Chen Anxiu lay on the bed, and while making a phone call, he reached out to help Mao Mao, who was also lying on his back, "It's only three days, Mr. Zhang, you won't be really angry, will you?" ”
Zhang Shinian planned not to let go easily this time, but the mobile phone prompted that he received a text message, there was nothing else in it, only a photo, and there were two similar smiling faces on top of each other in the photo, the difference was that the one above was ignorant and innocent, and the one below was flattering.
Chen Anxiu listened carefully and there was still no movement over there, and it was soft. "Hey, you can't blame me all this time, right?" Don't you have any responsibility at all? Evoking Zhang Shinian's sad past, he felt a little sorry for this person, so he tried his best to comfort this person, but Zhang Shinian was good, and he was fooling around in the room for two days, almost making people useless, and he didn't run to have a ghost.
"Jun Yan is gone, when do you plan to come back? Where are you now, I'll pick you up. If you don't want to live at home, we can move outside. ”
"I want to stay here for two more days, and when we go back to Green Island, we may not be able to come here for a while." After all, the focus of his future life is still on Green Island.
Zhang Shinian retreated, "Then it's okay to go out to eat together that night, right?" ”
"My brother-in-law is here, I may not be able to leave."
"You also said that you respect their choice, so why don't you give them a space to be alone?" It's not wrong to keep Lu Jiangyuan busy, "Regarding their affairs, we can talk about them in detail when we have dinner." ”
Chen Anxiu bit the little paw that Mao handed over, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." "I hope he is gone, and Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu don't fight.
After the two finished talking, Zhang Shinian put down the phone, and Ah Joe stepped forward and said, "Just now, Commander Ji asked people to come over and say that he had found out the news of Ji Junyan, and he took a ride to Green Island." ”
"Green Island? What is he doing on Green Island? "Could it be that you are looking for Qin Mingjun? Let's not talk about whether Qin Mingjun has the ability to come back from Qin Hexi? Let's just say that Qin Mingjun's current identity, is he really stupid enough to meddle in this matter? It is a fact that the Qin family has fallen, and even if there is a Qin Mingjun, it can't change anything.
The author has something to say: I made an appointment with my classmates today, and I saw a small cloth shoe on the side of the road, all of them were so beautiful, I was in a hurry, I tried my right foot, and the result was the same pair of shoes, and I took it back and wore it, and my left foot was squeezed to death. Thankfully, it's not very expensive.
Good night.
