City C has changed its leadership team in the new year, and its development has changed with each passing day. When Chen Lou walked from here, the railway station was still an old station, many roads were still potholes, and when he came back after a year and a half, he heard that the new railway station that had been stopped was about to be completed and put into use, and it was very convenient to go in all directions.

He came back this time to visit Father Wu and Old Man Gao, he didn't have much to bring, he spent two days visiting, and he did some work for Old Man Gao, and then went back after being scolded. In the winter of this year, there was heavy snow in City C, and when Chen Lou left from City C, he happened to hear a radio in the taxi, saying that the wall of the parking lot of the sales property on Jiangnan Avenue in the city collapsed, damaging many vehicles. The hostess then asked whether the property should be compensated in this case and how to collect evidence on the spot, Chen Lou was very bored halfway through listening, but when he was about to get out of the car, he suddenly heard a familiar name - Yangchun Beauty.

The taxi driver went to help him get the luggage in the trunk, Chen Lou was stunned for a moment and then got out of the car, only to find that he couldn't remember the number of his former home, and even the number of buildings had become blurred. The road behind him is covered in snow, and the world is as clean as a new picture. Chen Lou stopped on the street with his suitcase, and after a while, he only felt full of emotion, but he had nothing to say.

Chen Lou is a master of surgery, but fortunately, his mentor is a maverick, not only gave him a direction, but also asked someone to take Chen Lou to the clinic early. Chen Lou is grateful for this, although this tutor often can't even remember his name and never replies to text messages, but the platform provided is also broad enough.

Chen Lou also later learned that he was simply a plug-in, this tutor is a big bull in the industry, there are many doctoral students under him, he has recruited several masters before, the requirements are quite high, and he also uses people as donkeys, but he has a lot of funds in his hands and a wide range of contacts, so every year there are many elites who want to come in. Later, the boss was annoyed again, saying that the current students are not as good as one term, and they asked how the subsidy was going when they came up all day long, so they didn't accept a master's degree for two years.

Chen Lou was also startled when he first saw him, he had a relationship with this one, but the other party spoke unceremoniously, and directly explained that if it were not recommended by his old classmates, he would not recruit this kind of student who is not at the level of three or four levels, and is not good at the level of three or four and is also ambitious, Chen Lou was immediately scolded for a bloody head, blushing in front of several senior brothers, and he wanted to die.

It's just that since then, he has also aroused his enthusiasm, and the loss of failing to be admitted to the master's degree has long been forgotten, and he only reads and makes up for literature repeatedly every day as if he is crazy, and he can't wait to grow four ears in class, and he repeatedly pesters foreign teachers if he doesn't understand foreign language lessons. On average, he only sleeps four or five hours a day, and he doesn't have a lunch break, and he doesn't want holidays, because he has to squat in the laboratory to raise cells for old rats, run PCR, and supplement literature to make a reading report. In addition, he also took the initiative to take over the brainless chores of several senior brothers - the mentor couldn't take care of him, and the most direct people he chose to ask for help for the big topic were these senior brothers and sisters.

In the second year of graduate school, Chen Lou published a 2-point SCI at the beginning of the new semester, and his pre-experimental results were quite gratifying. It's just that this joy didn't last long, because the tutor disdainfully told him that among the undergraduate students of S University, someone had already published two SCIs with a score of 2+. Chen Lou's eyes were dazzled when he was already busy, and only then did he understand what it meant to have someone outside the world.

Although he didn't perform before, he was somewhat arrogant in his heart - he could get into 985 in high school, and he could get an A in college. Such a situation is indeed rare, and he can be regarded as smart, so he thinks that he has capricious capital, such as wanting to be a doctor. In the previous life, the doctor didn't take it, and as a result, he became a small medicine agent. In fact, the work of pharmaceutical generation abounds, but Chen Lou's mentality was already unbalanced at that time, he looked down on his peers, and he couldn't take the order, so the next step with arrogance was to break the jar and break it.

However, he now has no arrogant capital, looking at the classmates around him who are stronger than him, some people recruit 390 to come in, and Chen Lou later looked at the topic, and his estimated score was about 330, according to the admission line of the year, he couldn't enter S University. This is the real elite group, and he is like a gravel in the middle, and he can't move forward unless he tries his best.

Chen Lou finally chose a path that was quite difficult for him to take - he took the selection of scientific research topics combined with clinical as the main direction of his published papers. As an undergraduate non-clinical person who is now in the laboratory, this is tantamount to taking his own shortcomings to fight other people's longboards, a senior brother is quite puzzled, because clinical thinking and their scientific research thinking are quite different, Chen Lou insisted on going his own way, but unexpectedly won the support of his mentor.

This doctoral supervisor likes to go to the specialist outpatient clinic for special needs, and take a look at incurable diseases by the way, Chen Lou didn't explain anything when he first went to the clinic, and now he finally has one more sentence: "This is my newly accepted primary school student, you just look hard and call, don't get used to his idle problems." The chief physician who followed him nodded and smiled in response, but turned his head and immediately asked Chen Lou to be a helper.

Chen Lou got rid of the chores of writing doctor's orders everywhere and occasionally going to the emergency department to block the medical trouble, but he still respected the doctors and nurses around him, so that if there were occasional difficult cases, everyone would remember to greet him: "Xiao Chen, come and take a look...... or the new female nurse in the hospital, he would also remember to greet him: "The one in the pediatrics, the skin feels very good......

By the time the second and third papers were published one after another, Chen Lou had already lost ten pounds, so much so that when he was named to lecture on literature, he won the title of a thin beauty.

The thin beauty became famous, won the favor of the big boss, and published three papers in the second year of research.

On the day of the big cold of this year, the bird was very sick, and the water was strong, Chen Lou was recommended by the big boss to get a doctorate, and the full award was deducted from the tuition, in addition to the monthly scientific research funds, and the clinical department bonus was also obtained, and there was a notice that the big boss was strict, but his reputation was out, and he was willing to promote students, whether he went to the hospital or stayed in school in the future, Chen Lou had a bright future.

During this period, Lu Hening finally gave up his routine confession, and it is said that he was taken by the stunned boss of the rival company, and the two planned to get along with each other. Chen Lou remembered what Guan Yu said before, and carefully asked the other party's name, searched the Internet and there was no peachy news, and finally told him to speak to himself if he was difficult.

Lu Hening said in a relaxed tone when he was about to hang up the phone, "Chen Lou, do you know what I like about you?" ”

Chen Lou asked, "What?" ”

"I like your personality and attitude," Lu Hening said with a smile, "In addition, I also like me when I like you...... Before I met you, I was selfish, lonely and vain, but when I saw that you had almost no resemblance to me except for your looks, I couldn't help but start to compare, and then envy. You have made me ambitious for real life...... Although I couldn't be with you, I'm still happy and grateful. ”

Chen Lou smiled here, and then heard him say again: "The Buddha said that the suffering of life, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, can't ask for it...... I used to think it was difficult to understand, but now that I think about it, it's actually just our feelings of pursuing ourselves too much, if birth, old age, sickness and death are at will, love and hatred are fate, and there are not so many desires for forcible fulfillment, maybe it won't be bitter. ”

After he finished speaking, he felt a little funny, and couldn't help but laugh at himself twice and asked, "Where are you going for the New Year?" ”

Chen Lou thought for a while: "Go home." ”

When he was on annual leave, he packed his luggage on time and on time, flew to the provincial capital, and took Lu Zhecheng's car back to his hometown.

He is no longer the graduate who has to save even air tickets and has a bleak future, and he doesn't have to exchange the money he has saved for a gross ticket. He has a lot of money on him, and he plans to give some of it to Wang Gufen, and the rest is for the old lady to use as a pension book.

Wang Gufen is still living in the next courtyard, to Chen Lou's surprise, the old lady is also taken care of very well, he can't figure out whether Wang Gufen has changed sex or temporarily done superficial work, so he asked the old lady herself, and learned that Wang Gufen has been like this for the past two years, and finally put her mind at ease.

Wang Gufen was so happy to see her son come back, although she knew that their mother and son were not in harmony, she still wore new clothes every day and went around, and when she met people, she said that her son was back. So people with many things asked about your son's work, right? Where? Is the salary high? Wang Gufen didn't know it in his heart, but he casually said that it was high, thousands a month, a big city.

She was like a peacock with the screen open every day, and Chen Lou didn't bother to care, so she only took the old lady to the county hospital for a physical examination. There is an old saying in the village that when the old man reaches seventy-three or eighty-four, the king of Hades will die if he does not call himself. And the old lady was stuck in the next year, that is, the hurdle of eighty-four, Chen Lou was reluctant in his heart, he didn't know what to do, but he also subconsciously wanted to work hard.

It's just that the results of the examination are helpless - the old man came by eating bran and digging up the bark of trees when he was young, and now he is old, and many organs in his body have sounded the alarm, like a sieve leaking sand everywhere, and there is no way to plug the leakage. Chen Lou still took some medicine, and played with the old lady all day like coaxing a child, on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family of three was reunited, Wang Gufen cooked and cooked, Chen Lou wrapped dumplings on the side, and the old lady sat in the top position at dinner at night, and spoke as an elder for the first time.

She first said Wang Gufen: "Our mother and daughter have been angry with me for decades, you are old with me, old with me, but I am also old, and I can't be angry with you, so that's it." It's just the same, child, good causes grow good fruits, these years you have been a mother and ask yourself, are you sorry for Xiaolou......"

Her gaze was cloudy, but it was extremely sharp. Wang Gufen sneered: "Isn't this kid also promising?" ”

“…… How much has he suffered......" The old lady sighed, and said, "That's it." ”

Chen Lou watched her pick up the small wine cup, thought for a while and said, "Grandma, will you change the juice?" This wine is a little high, right? ”

The old lady shook her head and said with a smile: "You are like your father, and you are like your grandfather, you can pour it by looking at the bottle, and this is not with me." He added: "Don't be too tired outside, your body is the most important thing, you have to be well, you are good, and grandma will not be worried." ”

Chen Lou nodded yes, and after talking for a while, the old lady went to sleep.

The layout of the hometown has basically not changed, with two courtyards divided on the left and right, and three large tiled houses on each side. Chen Lou waited for Wang Gufen to go back, he walked out of the main house, walked around the yard, and when he saw the vegetable patch that was far away from the neatly covered with film, he didn't know what was planted here, and he got some fertilizer to sprinkle it for the old lady tomorrow, and saw that the outer wall of the house was a little crispy, revealing the red bricks inside, so he planned to find a construction team to come and clean up the house in the next few days. In this way, many places were picked out, the roof tiles were about to be newly paved, the gate was about to be replaced, and the brick road from the gate to the main house was also uneven in several places...... The money brought with me is enough anyway.

Chen Lou originally planned to find a pen and paper to write them down one by one, but he didn't know that there was nothing after looking around, so he could only remember it in his heart and go to sleep first.

The next day, when he woke up naturally, he lit the fire and heated up yesterday's dumplings, and then went to wake up the old lady.

The old lady lay on the bed motionless. Chen Lou chuckled in his heart, gently reached out to shake him, and shouted softly twice...... After a while, I finally couldn't help crying.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old lady drove back to Xianxiang to return to Elysium, and Chen Lou, as the eldest grandson, knelt for five days with a death certificate, and finally spent half of the money on the funeral. After the funeral, he knelt three times and bowed nine times in front of the ancestral grave, and since then he has left his hometown without any more concerns.
