Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Pair of Old Foxes
Ning Ye was asked by his mother and ran away, went back to the room, remembered that person, and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and start calling, but on the other end of the phone, there was still a blind tone.
Ning Ye put down his phone in a dejected manner, picked it up again after thinking about it, and sent a message to threaten: "If you don't answer my phone again, you'll be spanked!" ”
As soon as the message was sent, there was a response: "Spare your life, I'm afraid!" ”
The joy in Ning Ye's heart swelled to explode, and he called again, and Zhang Shuqiu's voice on the other end of the phone seemed quite pleasant: "You're back?" ”
"Well, just got home."
"Have you eaten?"
"Just finished eating."
"Instant noodles again?"
"No, my mother made me a big meal."
"That's good. If you're tired, go to bed early! ”
Ning Ye felt that Zhang Shuqiu was about to hang up the phone, and said busily: "You haven't answered me on the phone for so many days, just a few words?" ”
"So what's not? It's relieved to know that you're safe, well-fed and ready to go to bed. Zhang Shuqiu said innocently.
Ning Ye was so angry that he didn't know where it came from, did this person have no heart or liver, or didn't care about him at all? The anger that was about to erupt was suppressed by years of anger control, and he took a slow breath before saying, "I miss you, do you know?" ”
"I know, you send it twice a day, I don't want to know." The voice on the other end of the line was smiling.
"What about you, do you, miss me?" There was a hint of caution in Ning Ye's tone.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone and replied, "I've been a little busy these days, and I've reviewed several books, all of which are in a hurry." ”
Ning Ye didn't get the answer he wanted, knowing that the person on the other end of the phone was not very good at lying, but he still preferred that she could deceive him, and couldn't help but hate him and said, "You are a person, you can't ......"
"But, occasionally, I still think about ......"
Ning Ye suddenly froze, suddenly stopped his previous complaining words, and asked again, "What did you say?" Say it again, okay? ”
"I said, think about it......" Zhang Shuqiu's voice couldn't tell whether it was happy or a little melancholy, but Ning Ye was so happy that he didn't know what to do to make his joy seem more real.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I didn't, you were too anxious to let me finish speaking." The tone is full of innocence.
Ning Ye suddenly felt that kind of state, not knowing what to do with a person. I just want to tie her to my side, put her where I can see and touch her, look up and see her, reach out to hug her, and bow my head to kiss her......
"Where are you? I ......"
Before he could finish asking, Zhang Shuqiu suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I have a video conference, it may be late, you are tired, rest first, I will call you tomorrow, first, 88 ......"
Listening to the blind voice on the other end of the phone, Ning Ye was stunned for a long time, then put down the phone with a wry smile, lay on the bed for a while, got up again, took out the box, began to pack up, tossed for a long time, felt really tired, and went to sleep.
When Hua Lang arrived home, it was already late. He originally thought that his wife had fallen asleep, so he entered the room lightly, but found that Hu Xinlan was still reading the book on the chaise longue, reading it with relish. couldn't help but joke with his wife:
"What's wrong with you lately? I was still reading in the middle of the night, but I had the momentum to take the graduate school entrance examination that year. ”
"Ha, of course, there is Yan Ruyu in the book!" Hu Xinlan put down the book, took off her glasses, and replied with a smile.
"What are you so happy about? I heard that Ah Ye is back? Hua Langxing and Hu Xinlan have been together for many years, and they still know their wife's words and deeds very well.
"Yes, I came back just after dark. Lao Hua, come and take a look. Hu Xinlan beckoned to her husband who was taking off his coat.
Hua Langxing looked at the big box of books and said with a smile: "Is this really seeing that Yan Ruyu is here?" You want me to come and see it. ”
"I took this book from your son's study." Hu Xinlan pretended to be mysterious.
Hua Langxing was stunned, walked to the chaise longue and sat down, and said with a smile: "Is it your son's Yan Ruyu?" ”
Hu Xinlan put the books on the table together, put the side of the original book and the translated name in front of her husband and said, "Take a look, see if you can see something." ”
Hua Langxing leaned back, only to see the words on it clearly, the original work has different nationalities and different names, but this translation is the same person named Zhang Shuqiu. Hua Langxing couldn't help but look into the box again before asking, "This is all translated by one person?" ”
Hu Xinlan nodded and smiled: "How is it, this Yan Ruyu is powerful enough, right?" ”
"Why does your tone have a taste of pride?" Hua Langxing said with a smile.
"Of course, you know how many languages there are, right? I really don't know if I count, and I'm shocked when I count them. Hu Xinlan said with a smile.
"According to what you say, this translator should be not young, this Ah Ye ......," Hua Langxing hesitated.
"Otherwise, there are always some amazing and brilliant people in this world, which are difficult to match. Actually, I know this kid. Hu Xinlan said with emotion.
"Is it Ah Ye from their ministry? Why am I not impressed at all? Hua Langxing was surprised.
"No, it's Zhang Heng, it's Li Guangming's wife, Zhang Heng, do you remember?"
"Remember, you used to work together in Jiangda, right? But doesn't the Xiao Li family have only one son? I have a good relationship with Ah Ye, and I still live together when I study abroad. Now it's also an amazing talent. Hua Lang said suspiciously.
"This child is Zhang Heng's niece. Zhang Heng's brother died in the line of duty that year, and according to today's standards, he is a martyr. The child's mother later remarried, and she grew up with Zhang Heng. Hu Xinlan explained.
"Tell me about it." Hua Langxing is obviously also thinking about his son's marriage.
"This child should have come to Zhang Heng's house when he was in high school, first said that he was seriously ill, and then he got better, and he skipped one level in high school in three years, and finished in two years. It is said that he was the first in the Hui grade of the High School Affiliated to Jiang University, and later went to Chinese University of Foreign Studies. It turns out that I saw it once, and I could see it when I was a child, and it was very beautiful.
At that time, Li Yun was in our eyes, they were all children of other people's families, although our Ah Ye didn't let us worry about anything, but in terms of learning, it was still a little worse than Li Yun. Zhang Heng in front of us, never praised his son, but praised her niece, I felt at that time that she was pitiful that the child was lonely, and it hurt too much, now look at it, but I am narrow-minded. Hu Xinlan said with emotion in her recollection.
Hua Langxing took the book again, flipped through it in his hand, and Hu Xinlan said with a smile: "I have read it in general, this child's Chinese skills are very unusual." There are twelve languages involved here, I calculated, she should be two years younger than Ah Ye, at this age, this career achievement, it is simply, I can't find an adjective. Ah Ye said that she has seven advanced translation qualifications. Director Yu of their department said that this kid is a leader in the international industry. ”
"It's no wonder that I'm still single at this age. This business, no matter how smart it is, depends on the accumulation of time. But just look at these books, and you know that there is no distraction. Such a child, I'm afraid that his mind is not on the family. Plus you look at Ah Ye, this mind is also ......" Hua Langxing shook his head and said.
"Lao Hua, let me tell you, when I was a child, Ah Ye didn't take it with us, I always felt that this child suddenly grew up, and I was very disappointed. But you didn't see him like that today, I think I've been raising a son for decades, just today, haha......" Hu Xinlan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of Ning Ye's appearance at dinner.
"No, I'm not sorry then?" Hua Langxing couldn't help but smile when he saw his wife smiling happily.
"Don't worry, we still have to watch this matter. I originally thought that this child was an old man, and he didn't care much about these things, how do I know that people have already quietly touched their hearts, our son, you don't know, as long as it is accurate, there is nothing he can't take......" Hu Xinlan became more and more excited, just thinking about going to bed quickly, and when she got up tomorrow, she could see her son's red ears again.
Early the next morning, Ning Ye got up and went downstairs, Hua Langxing was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, and Ning Ye said hello as usual.
Hua Langxing put down the newspaper and said, "The work at hand has been handed over?" ”
Ning Ye nodded and said, "Well, it's almost." ”
Hu Xinlan came over with a pot of porridge, Hua Langxing tacitly took one from a stack of mats on the cabinet next to him and put it on the table, Hu Xinlan said while putting the porridge: "When are you going to Jiangcheng?" ”
"I'm going to go to the ministry in the morning to complete the formalities, and if there's nothing going on, I'll leave in the afternoon." Ning Ye replied.
"So fast? Have you packed up your salutes? ”
"Well, almost."
"Then where do I put the box of books you got back last time?"
Hua Langxing watched his wife take the initiative to tease her son, and the corners of her mouth showed a subtle smile.
Ning Ye looked at his mother and said a little unnaturally: "I'll clean it up myself later." ”
"You have to think about it, you went to that ravine, and that Xiaoqiu's work is all outside. If you want me to say, it's better to let your dad think of a way for you, work is important, but you can't help but ...... this lifelong event," Hu Xinlan said with a smile.
"Mom, this order has been issued, how can you change it casually? Besides, Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu is back, ...... in Jiangcheng"
"Oh, I see, I said why did you suddenly choose such a place......
"Mom, this is all an organizational decision, how can it be my own decision......" Ning Ye looked helpless, obviously feeling that his mother was teasing him, and his father was obviously watching a good show.
The sun shone into the house through the window, and Hua Langxing followed the light, and clearly saw that his son's ears were really red, as his wife said. couldn't help but feel happy and asked, "I heard your mother say, why didn't you think about introducing such a talent in your department?" ”
"Dad, this work has to be done by wishful thinking, her temperament, the nature of our work, may limit her." Ning Ye explained a little helplessly.
"Oh, what kind of character is it? Even the temperament is understood, it shouldn't be a day or two. You hide it quite deeply, and when you find a girlfriend, you don't tell your family, so you let your mother worry. Hua Langxing joked with a smile.
Ning Ye suddenly felt that there was another piece of bag on his head, so he had to lick the corner of his mouth and explain: "No, I just touched it, and it's not time yet, I will definitely take it home when the time comes." ”
Hua Langxing looked at his son, who had always been old, and suddenly became a little less determined than before, and began to understand what his wife said last night, and couldn't help but look up at his wife with a lively expression, the two exchanged glances, Hu Xinlan said: "Look at you like this, it seems that you are still a shaved head and hot, do you want your mother to help you?" Mom went back and called Aunt Zhang, but it really didn't work, Mom went to ...... by herself."
"Mom, Mom, you're still busy with your business, I'll take care of it myself, don't ......" What Ning Ye is most afraid of is this result, who knows what he is afraid of.
"Don't worry, your mother won't give you a troublemaker...... Hu Xinlan continued.
"Okay, let's eat, you just let him toss by himself first, it's such an adult, you have to rely on your parents to help you find a girlfriend, it's not suitable." Hua Langxing looked at his son's face and couldn't hold it anymore, interrupted his wife with a smile, and ended this round of teasing his son with deep pleasure.
Faced with such a pair of parents who were as shrewd as old foxes, Ning Ye was very helpless, and felt that he was still too shallow. On the other hand, I also breathed a sigh of relief, at least, my parents here, as I expected, should have passed the test easily.
After breakfast, when Hu Xinlan helped her husband change clothes and was about to go out, Hua Langxing seemed to have been silent for a long time, and asked softly: "Judging from this situation, Ah Ye is afraid that he has eaten the scales, you say, should we take a look at the child, after all, it has been too long outside......
Hu Xinlan paused with the movement of her hand and said: "Don't do it for the time being, first, I believe in Zhang Heng's character; Second, I basically read the works translated by that child, and the three views are still very correct. Besides, our Ah Ye is also older, and if he doesn't know about it, there will be right and wrong, and it will not be good at that time. ”
"Okay, you can make up your mind about this. But you better not get involved first, don't really scare the girls away. Hua Langxing nodded and smiled.
"What you said, that kid has seen the world big, and he can be scared away by me." Hu Xinlan said angrily.
"I mean, other people's families don't have that mind, so you can go as a mother-in-law by yourself, so you can't be scared away." Hua Langxing joked to his wife.
"Okay, can't I not mix? Let's go, I've been waiting outside for a long time. Hu Xinlan said helplessly.
"What's your arrangement for today?" Hua Langxing asked.
"I asked Xiao Zhang to cancel the arrangements for these two days the day before yesterday, Ah Ye is about to go out, I ......"
"Okay, how old are you, so are you, I didn't see you when I was young, but I was old and old, and I fell in love with my son."
"Anyway, I'm leaving today, hey, I don't know when I'll come back next time, you said that place, I heard, there are mountains on three sides......" Seeing that her husband was about to speak, Hu Xinlan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I know, I know, okay, okay, you go quickly." ”
Hu Xinlan called Ning Ye and sent Hua Langxing out together. When he arrived at the door, Hua Langxing turned around and instructed Ning Ye: "Go and do a good job, you can still come back for help if you have difficulties." You must know the purpose of letting you children go down to poverty alleviation. ”
Ning Ye nodded solemnly and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will do a good job." ”
