23, The Story of Reluctant (5)

The arrival of Dong Jianjun once made the young female scientist Fang Lingzi ecstatic.

Fang Lingzi rushed to the Denver airport from Cambridge Town, and received Fang Jianjun from the East Coast to visit him at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Massachusetts, the husband and wife have not seen each other for two years, when Fang Lingzi saw Fang Jianjun's burly figure from the street, two lines of tears flowed out of her beautiful eyes, and the beautiful wife quickly stepped forward, took the luggage he pushed in her hand, and took his arm, and walked out of the airport together.

In order to pick up Dong Jianjun, Fang Lingzi specially bought a second-hand Lincoln, and after putting the luggage in the trunk, the husband and wife got into the car, and saw his wife's skillful driving skills, Fang Jianjun observed it carefully, sat in the spacious Lincoln car, and the two started the trip hand in hand.

Fang Lingzi said to Dong Jianjun, "Lao Dong, in order to see you, I specially bought this second-hand Lincoln, and I got my driver's license last year, which is the first time I have driven a long way." ”

Dong Jianjun smiled, "What about environmental transformation people?" Where in the country is it possible to have such a good private car? How much did you spend on this car? ”

Fang Lingzi, "The second-hand car market here is very developed, more than 1,000 US dollars to buy it, and then sell it when you leave, basically you can sell it for more than 1,000 US dollars, it is much cheaper than our car rental, if you rent a car, we have spent money, it is not convenient, if the car has a problem, you have to repair the car yourself, buy a second-hand car is the best, and then sell it when you run out, if you meet a good buyer, you may make a little money." ”

Dong Jianjun did not know anything about the American automobile market, especially the second-hand car market, Fang Lingzi told him, he just listened, "What do you think is good, what do you think is good, our family affairs, what is not up to you, this is the case in China, is it not like this in the United States?" ”

Fang Lingzi said with a smile, "While you are in the car, you can take a good rest, pour down the jet lag, we may have to pay attention to the motel on the road, and the two of us will chat when we get to the hotel." ”

Dong Jianjun said, "I haven't seen you for two years, I just met you, where can I sleep?" ”

Fang Lingzi said, "Are you tired along the way?" One transfer in Tokyo, another transfer in New York, this time it will take seventeen or eighteen hours, it must be very tiring. ”

Dong Jianjun, "How can you be so tired?" I'm not muddy, I'm going to study at New York University for three months, it's also an exchange, and I've already negotiated a topic of cooperation, how are you here? ”

Fang Lingzi said to Dong Jianjun, "Tomorrow we will go to Cambridge Town, you can enjoy the scenery here by the river, MIT is very large, stretching for a mile, you want to transform the university, but it takes a certain amount of effort, I have been here for two years, I have not been to many attractions in the school, every day is the library and laboratory, scientific research is particularly busy, our team is now catching up, ultra-low temperature critical materials is a high-precision subject, I have not been in contact with it in China, Whether in theory or in the process of experiments, we have encountered a lot of problems, and we can only work overtime to catch up with the schedule, do a good job in experimental design and experimental reports, where is the time to go to school? ”

Dong Jianjun said distressedly, "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out, let alone in a foreign country." You have worked hard in the past two years, but according to your ability, these difficulties are nothing, I have read the paper you published carefully, it is really a very level, but it is a pity that you did not win the Nobel Prize, if you win the award, you will be a star. ”

Fang Lingzi said happily, "Isn't it because of the opportunity you created for me?" Originally, these achievements should be yours, and if you were a communication scholar here, it would definitely be richer than what I have achieved, and I owe you this all my life. ”

Dong Jianjun said with a smile, "We are all a family, old husband and wife, what are you talking about?" It is also a kind of fate to have this opportunity for you to go abroad for further study, although I have done some work here, mainly because of you, your level and your rigor, it is strange that there are no results. ”

Fang Lingzi asked eagerly, "How is Jiaojiao now?" Has the child run all over the street? I'm not at home, you're alone with the child, you're really hard, if I see her now, the child will definitely not recognize me, how much failure do you say I'm a mother. ”

Dong Jianjun looked at the melancholy temperament, and said with love and pity, "Lingzi, stop blaming yourself, we are young now, we should put all our energy on our careers, and sacrifice a little family warmth for the sake of the scientific cause of the motherland, what is there?" As long as I am here, you will work the road to success, your current scientific research achievements, the brilliant achievements you have made, in the future our daughter will grow up, will be proud of you, I will also be proud of you, all of us will be proud of you. ”

Fang Lingzi heard her husband's comfort, tears of excitement flowed out of the corners of her eyes, she had indescribable happiness in her heart, looked at Dong Jianjun affectionately and said, "My dear, it is really my greatest happiness to be able to meet you in this life, without you I would not have my achievements today, without your support, I would have lost the motivation to struggle, every day I think about being on the other side of the world, with my lover, my children, and my home, waiting for me in warmth, whenever I think of this, my body is full of strength, No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will move forward. Although the scientific research conditions here are first-class, but the research I chose is also arduous, along the way, all of them are bumpy and thorny, with you, with children in my heart, I have the courage to break through all great love, Lao Dong, thank you. ”

Dong Jianjun can imagine the difficulties encountered by Fang Linzi in scientific research, a young woman in a foreign country to achieve scientific research results, it is impossible not to make a certain amount of effort, the first thing to overcome is herself, to overcome the longing for the motherland, the nostalgia for the family, the love for her husband, the love for her daughter, more difficulties, this comes from the scientific research project itself, what he is engaged in is now the international cutting-edge scientific research project, there is no successful model, there is no successful idea, and there is no successful experience to learn from. Everything must rely on oneself, to have new ideas, to have new ways, but also to have the ability to innovate.

Dong Jianjun said to his wife caresses, "Lingzi, we just want to support each other, help each other, home is your happy and warm harbor, when you are tired you can come back to keep warm, our motherland is your happiest family, but also your strongest backing, as long as you pretend to be the motherland, pretend to be our family, there is no insurmountable difficulty, now that the country has reformed and opened up, everything has changed for the better, respect for knowledge, respect for talent, respect for science atmosphere has become a common practice, The school attaches great importance to your achievements, every time you have any achievements, the school will be solemnly recommended, among more overseas students, you are the most fruitful, you have won glory for our motherland, for the school, but also for me and my children to win glory. ”

Fang Lingzi saw her husband's satisfied expression, it was completely a feeling of happiness, and her heart was fully satisfied, with her husband's understanding, it was all worth it. But I have to admit that my foundation is too poor, although the master's degree and doctorate have been obtained, but there are still many peaks to climb in this field, scientific research is like this, innovation is the goal, take the road that others have not taken, do projects that no one else has done, this is the difficulty of scientific research, but also the shortcut to achieve results.

Fang Lingzi held the steering wheel in her hand, looked at her husband with the rest of her eyes, and reached over with the other hand to hold the strong and warm big hands, a force flowed all over her body, she hadn't pulled this powerful big hand for more than two years, and now she feels that he has strength, how warm and reliable he is, more than 700 days and nights of missing, the person in her heart is sitting next to her, because she has to drive, she can't be distracted more, but that watery tenderness has been passed to Dong Jianjun, From Dong Jianjun's hard grip in his hand, he realized that the two people had a common heart and went hand in hand on the road of science, which was the most beautiful moment in Fang Lingzi's heart.

The car was running in the wide field, two people who loved each other sat in the car, the two hearts were tightly attached together, Fang Lingzi was full of happy life, "My dear, your three-month exchange, although we are not in the same city, but we are all under the same blue sky, both in the United States, the two of us can get together from time to time, the transportation in the United States is still very developed, and aviation is even more developed, unlike when you are in the motherland, I think you can only look at the sky, look at the moon and the stars." Sometimes I think like this to the starry sky, we have really become a cowherd and weaver girl now, I am in the United States, you are in the motherland, only the same sky is shared by us, we have been married for three or four years, but the time together is only a little more than a year, what is left for you is tedious housework, is a dumb child, you now spend a lot of time in family life, so that I am really sorry to be a wife, come to the United States, we live here, work here, and do scientific research together, The scientific research team here, the scientific research equipment here, the scientific research conditions and the scientific research atmosphere here are all beyond your imagination, let's live a good life here and be a fairy couple. ”

Hearing Fang Lingzi say this, Dong Jianjun grabbed her hand vigorously, "Lingzi, no matter how good it is here, it is someone else's, our roots are still in our own country, don't you know, in the two years since you left, our motherland has undergone earth-shaking changes, reform and development, so that our country has been plugged in the wings of take-off, we have now formed, quadruple the goal, the whole country is united in their own affairs, let our country become rich has become the consensus of the whole people, it will not take long, We will also have such good conditions and such a good atmosphere for scientific research, everything we have achieved is given by the motherland, and we should also repay the motherland for its training. ”

Fang Lingzi heard Dong Jianjun preach to her seriously, and she didn't take it very seriously, it was natural for her husband, who had just gone abroad, to have these thoughts, but fortunately, there were still three months to go, let him experience it for himself first, and then talk about it, so he changed the topic, "How is the school?" Isn't it the fastest development? ”

Dong Jianjun heard his wife inquire about the situation of the school, and knew that Fang Lingzi was also concerned about the changes in his alma mater, so he excitedly said to her, "Now there is a lot of vitality everywhere on the land of the motherland, and you should not feel strange about all the changes, our country is now developing with each passing day, and our alma mater is also taking off." The main building of the teaching building has been delivered, the original buildings built in the 60s when the school was in school, have now been replaced by a high-rise building, our current library laboratory building, are just built, than any university conditions are not worse, can be said to be a microcosm of the development of colleges and universities in the motherland, working in the new laboratory building, not to mention how happy I am, the hardware is gradually improving, the conditions for scientific research have been thoroughly improved, and the scientific research equipment has been updated. The results achieved each year are also encouraging. ”

Seeing her husband talk about her alma mater's excitement, it also infected Fang Lingzi, "Yes, we have been abandoned for 10 years in the past, and the last 10 years of catching up have brought us closer to the world, but we should also be soberly aware that we are still a gap from the tip of the world, I believe that the development of my alma mater will change with each passing day, and I also believe that having people like you working there will definitely make our alma mater fruitful, and it won't take long, Our alma mater can be compared with the world's first-class school, where we have worked and lived for five or six years, where every grass and tree is pinned on the blood and sweat of our hard students, how much I want to go around in that quiet campus, and have a good experience of this cradle of science and the cradle of our love. ”

Dong Jianjun heard his wife talk about the love between the two people, and his heart was full of warmth, "Yes, although we were classmates in undergrad, but at that time you didn't look at me with the right eyes, when I was a graduate student, the two of us really knew each other, I still remember that it was a moonlit and starry night, let the moon testify for us, I confessed to you, your wonderful first kiss let me enjoy it for the rest of my life." ”

Fang Lingzi was also immersed in the happiness of memories, "My dear, when you were an undergraduate, so many girls chased you, which turn is my ugly duckling?" At the beginning of the graduate stage, we have more contact, and we have a better understanding of you, among those of us, you are a scholar, is a beacon that we look up to, although I dare not approach you when I was an undergraduate, but I miss you every day, I am determined to take the graduate school because of this, I hope to work with you, study together, engage in scientific research together, the little girl's crush determines my future life, when you confess to me, I really fell into the whirlpool of happiness all of a sudden, The little secret in my heart has finally become a reality, and the prince charming in my dream has become my real lover, how beautiful and happy you say this is for a girl. ”

Fang Jianjun was also immersed in happiness, "When you were an undergraduate, your academic performance was also very outstanding, in front of the tutor, the two of us were a pair of golden boys and girls, and the teacher created a lot of opportunities for us, let us study together, work together, and engage in scientific research together, let us further understand each other, and further shorten the distance between our feelings, and also let me have more courage to express my love to you." Looking back now, I'm really a bit wooden in this regard, all of them have already fallen in love, married and had children, I've just entered the period of love, I'm so wooden, you won't blame me, right? ”

Fang Lingzi said with deep feelings, "Honey, how can I blame you? You are left to me by God, you are completely different from others, everyone has entered the age of the beginning of love, in the 4 years of college life, how many lovers have finally become married? And you are still obsessed with studying scientific research every day, you have put all your energy into your career, you don't know the warmth and coldness of the world, and you don't feel the love for so many girls expressing love for you, until you were a graduate student, the two of us had more contact, which opened the door to your feelings. I often think that you are born for learning, for scientific research, and all your genius is used for your career, so I am cheaper as a persistent pursuer. ”

Recalling the season of love full of happiness, a couple immersed in the whirlpool of their own happiness, the years of love filled them with passion, Fang Lingzi could no longer drive forward indifferently, leaned the car on the side of the road, stepped forward and hugged his lover tightly, that love, that love, all expressed in body language, the rich and sexy lips were imprinted on Fang Jianjun's honest face, and the happy spring light was full of spirit in the carriage of the car.

There is still a steady stream of cars on the highway, the street trees on both sides are so tall in the sun, the high blue sky, the white clouds are swimming, and the surrounding flowers and plants are trembling in the breeze.

When night fell, Fang Lingzi parked the car in front of a motel, looked at her husband who was already sleeping next to him, he was not in a hurry to wake him up, sat next to him, and looked at her carefully.

This is the person who thinks about himself, this is the person who sacrifices the quota for himself, this is the person who silently takes care of his children at home for himself in order to have better scientific research results, and this is the person who selflessly dedicates his youth.

She and Dong Jianjun met on the first day of university admission, the sunshine in Beijing at the end of August was so strong, Fang Lingzi, who came to Beijing from another provincial capital, stepped into the campus of the University of Science and Technology with heavy luggage, and bumped into the person next to him with a careful hug.

Fang Lingzi hurriedly apologized to the other party, "I'm sorry classmate, I was really careless." ”

Dong Jianjun looked at the weak little girl opposite, then looked at the heavy luggage in his hand, and said to him with a smile, "It's okay, you are also here to report, classmate, I will help you get some luggage." ”

The magnetic boy's voice suddenly made Fang Lingzi intoxicated, and the girl's heart beat wildly, looking at each other shyly, and she was stunned for a moment.

Dong Jianjun said with a smile, "Classmate, my name is Dong Jianjun, what is your name?" ”

At this time, Fang Lingzi reacted and quickly replied, "My name is Fang Lingzi, and I am also a freshman who has just come to report." ”

Dong Jianjun couldn't help but say, took the heavy luggage from Fang Lingzi's hand, and said as he walked, "Why do you take such heavy luggage?" Let's go and report for duty. ”

Fang Lingzi looked at this tall and mighty boy, and a seed was planted in her heart.

Since the first day of college admission, the tall and mighty figure has been hovering in his mind, the voice with male magnetism has been echoing in her heart, although she was placed in the same class, the figure in her heart has never looked at her carefully, in the mouths of teachers and classmates, it is a perfect student, academic performance has always been at the top of the class, all subjects are excellent, although there is a tall body, but the study is serious like a primary school student, worthy of the name, became the object of discussion among all the girls in the class when they were lying in bed at night and couldn't sleep, whenever this time, Fang Lingzi was silent, listening to the admiration of the girls around her for the boy, although she didn't participate in their discussions, but her heart was like a vinegar vat that had been broken for 300 years, and the sour taste was really uncomfortable.

Now this person is next to him, living together for a few years, as always, love, as always, in order to have a better life, for his own better career, the once ignorant little boy, actually gave up his favorite scientific research and favorite career, with his own quota, in exchange for his wife's going abroad, more than two years, at home silently with the child, two years later, they finally met again on American soil.

Bitter thoughts, silent love, unbearable life in two places, one in the ancient East, one in the superior United States, only the blue sky is shared, it is really a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks. Today we can finally be together, thinking back to the dream of girlhood, recalling the sweetness of the love season, recalling the warmth of the small family, facing the lover who is still sleeping in the car, Fang Lingzi's happy tears flowed down again.
