Chapter 62: My Cousin's Birthday
Wu Xiaochuan was born in an intellectual family, grew up in a loving environment since he was a child, good family education, years of self-cultivation, and gradually developed a good attitude of treating others without being shocked and lenient, so Wu Xiaochuan did not take his cousin's prank to heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA few days later, Wu Xiaochuan returned to his aunt's house, and after the meal, he seemed to inadvertently ask about his cousin Huiting's birthday, and he said to his aunt: "Aunt! I remember that Cousin Huiting was two months younger than me, right? Wu Wenying said: "Yes! Her birthday is less than ten days away! Then my aunt said angrily: "Little belly chicken intestines! Leave her alone! But Wu Xiaochuan knew it in his heart.
When Wu Xiaochuan had two days left on his cousin's birthday, he went to Hui Ting's graduate school to find his cousin, Hui Ting lowered her head and did not speak, Wu Xiaochuan sincerely said to her: "I am in the United States as your relatives, we are relatives of flesh and blood!" The reason why my aunt loves me so much is because of the long-term separation between my aunt and me, which has caused her spiritual loss and emotional dislocation. It's nature for your aunt to love you! Besides, I must go back to China! Do you understand? The words are true, and they are also Wu Xiaochuan's heart.
Yang Huiting slowly raised her head and looked at this middle cousin who was the same year as herself, and today she found out that her cousin was so cute and wise, but she seemed to be so obscene and stupid! She slowly lowered her head, and after a long time, she said in a low voice, "Cousin Xiaochuan! I'm sorry for you! I was wrong! Wu Xiaochuan said: "What do you say? You're my sister! Then he patted her on the shoulder and said, "In that case, what are you waiting for?" Go home! The brother and sister happily returned to their aunt's house together.
After Hui Ting arrived home, she saw Wu Wenying and quickly bowed and admitted her mistake and asked her mother for forgiveness! Wu Xiaochuan also kept saying good things for his cousin on the side, and Wu Wenying forgave Yang Huiting when she saw this.
Wu Wenying took her daughter's hand and said, "Child! It's not easy for you Brother Xiaochuan to strive for self-improvement in such a difficult environment and maintain such excellent quality! You now understand why I love your cousin, right? Hui Ting said again and again: "Yes! Yes! Brother Xiaochuan is so cute! My cousin is really better than me! Wu Xiaochuan took the opportunity to mention his cousin's birthday again, and Wu Wenying said happily: "Over! Pass! It's going to be bigger! Celebrating my daughter's twenty-third birthday! "Immediately open a bill to shop, over there Yang Huiting was busy writing invitations. On her cousin's birthday, Yang Huilin, Yang Huizhong, and Wu Xiaochuan all came, and Hui Ting invited more than a dozen of her graduate school classmates and friends to have a birthday party in the hall on the first floor, including Chinese and Americans, men and women, and even the piano was brought over.
Wu Xiaochuan is the conductor of the "party", he has been a cadre of the student union, he is familiar with the party, Yang Jiaxuan and his wife and the eldest cousin are also very happy, and they met with everyone and drank some red wine to tell everyone to have fun, and went upstairs to talk.
Boy! For a while, the beaches of Hawaii, the water city of Venice, the hot springs of Iceland, the surfing of the sea in Australia, and then the Formula 1 car, the bullfighting in Spain, the Palace of Versailles in France, the Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, and even the Las Vegas casino, and the nightless Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, have all become topics of conversation for them! A group of people are valuing the sea and the sky, acting arbitrarily, loudly and loudly, as if no one is around, drinking and talking to see who "can blow" big. Wu Xiaochuan never joined in the "high-minded talk" of these people, and later, when talking about the ongoing Sino-British negotiations on the Hong Kong issue, a small controversy broke out, and the focus of the debate was whether Hong Kong should be returned to China! Will China be able to govern Hong Kong well in the future? There is a clear line between the two sides of the argument – the Chinese and the Americans.
Since there were very few Chinese who went to the United States to study or even go to graduate school after the reform and opening up at that time, these Chinese who participated in the debate today were born and raised in the United States and did not know much about China's history and current situation, so the Americans present were not convinced! At this time, Wu Xiaochuan spoke, and he said in English: "Ladies! Gentlemen! Would I like to interject a word about your argument? As soon as Hui Ting saw that her cousin was about to speak, she immediately took the lead in applauding and said, "Okay! Mr. Wu, please! Cousin, you speak! Speak! Wu Xiaochuan first explained the rationality and legitimacy of Hong Kong's return from the perspective of history and legal theory, and then explained the era, inevitability, and urgency of Hong Kong's return from the perspective of China's national development, the trend of the world, and the emotions of the nation. Those who had objected just now were silent.
In the end, Wu Xiaochuan smiled and asked the Americans present: "May I ask everyone! How would you feel if Louisiana, in the United States, was still under French jurisdiction? There was silence, and applause ensued.
The dance began, everyone appeared on the stage, some played the piano, some played the violin, and several female students invited Wu Xiaochuan to dance, but Wu Xiaochuan really couldn't dance, so Hui Ting said loudly: "Please let my brother Xiaochuan sing the song of Chinese mainland!" Everyone said in unison, "Good! Someone immediately gave up their seat, in fact, their group of people was out of curiosity about Wu Xiaochuan, they thought: A person who can't even dance can really play the piano? Wu Xiaochuan, who was reluctant to be enthusiastic, sat down and played two tunes, "Let's Swing the Sculls" and "BJ Ode", and the beautiful melody echoed in the hall, which surprised the young students who were used to listening to rock and watching hippies.
Music knows no borders, it is said that not long ago, Seiji Ozawa, the chief conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the United States, came to China and conducted the orchestra to play the Chinese erhu concerto "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", which caused a huge sensation, and Seiji Ozawa himself was moved to tears by this beautiful music, which seems to be true!
As soon as Wu Xiaochuan's piano performance ended, Hui Ting then shouted: "Hey! Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Shall we let my cousin play another violin piece? "This time, everyone is not just curious, but feels a little incredible, this person is too powerful! Really?
Yang Huiting is so happy, her cousin Xiaochuan gave her a long face today! Wu Xiaochuan said: "Today is my sister's birthday, don't stand still, I'll play two dance songs for you today, everyone can dance?" "Good!" Everyone was happy, the dance music sounded, Xiaochuan played the "Carmen Overture" first, and then played the cheerful "Mozart Serenade" (the first movement)
Wu Xiaochuan played the violin beautifully, his aunt and his wife and eldest cousin all stood on the second floor and listened quietly, the eldest sister Yang Huilin opened her mouth in shock, Wu Wenying clapped her hands happily and shed tears, Yang Jiaxuan nodded approvingly, "Birthday Star" Huiting was very excited, hugged her cousin and jumped happily, and the party ended very late.
Since then, Wu Xiaochuan and his aunt's children get along very well, Wu Wenying is very happy to see her nephew and his family get along so well, and her cousin Yang Huiting has taken Wu Xiaochuan to visit the world-famous studio Hollywood more than once, and assured her cousin: With her cousin's temperament and demeanor, she will definitely let her cousin take a photo with the famous movie star Elizabeth Taylor! That's great! She also pestered Wu Wenying and said, "Mom! Just let me and my cousin go! I love being with my cousin! Wu Wenying smiled and nodded Hui Ting's brain melon and agreed, but Wu Xiaochuan refused on the grounds that he was nervous about studying, he really reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat in his studies.
During this period, Wu Xiaochuan published more than 10 academic papers in English in the college, including "The Charm and Power of Chinese Traditional Culture", "The Mentality of Americans after China's Sustainable Development", "The Impact of China's Surrounding Environment on China's Sustainable Development", "Economic Construction and Environmental Protection", "The Impact of Reform and Opening-up on China's Traditional Culture", "The Gains and Losses of China's Trade Integration into the World Economy", "The Great Significance of China's Speeding Up Highway Construction", etc. The unique insights, lofty ideas, and far-reaching influence have not been small, and they have also attracted the attention of domestic employers, especially the Organization Department of Tangzhou City.
The relationship between Wu Xiaochuan and the two students in the same dormitory of the college has also become more harmonious, because in this university, including between professors, there is no seniority, everything is an achievement, and the grades are first. During this period, Wu Xiaochuan took advantage of his early arrival in the United States to work and live with his aunt's family to help many international students.
