Chapter 58: Lovers support each other and become "people"
Yes, Bai Tian and Ning Qian are mature enough to know what they want and want. They even feel that they have wasted a lot of time before, and they must cherish every minute and second they will be together in the future, and they must make up for what they missed before, such as: Ning Qian refuses to walk, so she has to carry her during the day.
Such a game is unimaginable for two foreign elites who wear professional clothes and go in and out of major business occasions, but if they were in their teens and twenties, they didn't go around and around, and they just talked about love, this should be the fun of being together at that time, right? During the day, she was unequivocal, and she ran away when she picked up Ning Qian, but after only a few steps of running, Ning Qian asked to put her down: "I am reluctant to let you be tired, I feel distressed." ”
while abusing and hurting; While scolding, while boasting; While teasing and petting, this seems to have become Ning Qian's way of dealing with the day. And daytime, for Ning Qian, is one word: "meticulous".
Mom and Dad had already determined that this young man was the one they were relieved of in less than a day and a night. In the words of the white sturgeon: "Brother, your mother-in-law actually made clothes for you by herself, this family business is settled!" Before setting off in the daylight, the mother carefully prepared a meeting gift for her in-laws, and saw that they brought back a bunch of return gifts. The windbreaker that her son was wearing was actually made overnight after meeting, and it can be seen that Xiao Ning's mother had already prepared the fabric and was waiting for it. Such intentions and abilities are also rare among mothers, no wonder their daughter is so smart and sensible. Daylight also told her mother that she was very close to Ning Qian's father and her family, simple and enthusiastic. Ning Qian's parents have already agreed to marry their daughter to him.
"Today is just the first time to visit, and I have to come to propose relatives." Bai Tian has already made a promise to Ning Qian's parents.
Daylight's mother knows that her son will definitely be likable, but she is also worried about the thinness of the family and the woman's parents, and now she can be regarded as relieved.
The time that Ning Qian and Bai Tian were able to stay together this time was only four days, and they deliberately set aside one day to take wedding photos. They were going to send him photos before Gupta left China. Indeed, Justin's influence was huge: Bruno actually agreed to let Gupta continue working in China until Bruno helped him find another expatriate opportunity. Gupta's tenure in China has been extended for another six months, and it has now been confirmed that he will be sent to Africa next to take charge of three countries, and just by the time he leaves China, both daughters will go to college in the United States.
Gupta was leaving, the organizational structure was changing, and for Lipton's people, there was a bit of trepidation. As a high-potential talent of Youjia, Fang Gang was transferred to Beijing as the manager of Huajing factory. Although Jiang Yannan was reluctant to leave Guangzhou, in order to support his career, he also followed him to Beijing. Lu watched the department managers who used to be together leave one after another, and he was very insecure, and soon, he changed jobs to do the corporate services he was good at before, and took Spring with him by the way. When Aimee went back to send photos to Gupta, he looked at the unfamiliar faces coming and going in the office, and suddenly realized that things were different.
Bai Tian has been employed in Hong Kong, Ning Qian is in Beijing, both of them are in a state of crazy business trips, phone calls, emails, letters, and postcards have become the main form of long-distance relationships. Even, sometimes, when the trip is in a hurry, they will make an appointment to meet at the airport, but they are too rushed, they just have time to hug at an elevator exit at the airport, and then pull their suitcases and go their separate ways. Even so, every time they separate, they will have a sweet smile on their faces, they are very firm and warm, and they know that the other party is in their chest.
With a deep understanding of each other's careers and strong psychological support from each other, the two of them have made faster progress in their careers: their investment banking careers have opened up, the cases they have participated in are very influential, and he has begun to become a rising star in the industry. Ning Qian is responsible for the brand, advertising creativity, media release, won a number of global awards, sales are increasing, Aimee is also in the fierce competition of Youjia, the marketing team is increasingly dazzling.
Just when Ning Qian felt that career and love went hand in hand, she suddenly received a call from her mother: Dad was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, and the doctor said that time was running out and there was no therapeutic value. Ning Qian couldn't believe it, and cried and told Bai Day, who immediately said: "Don't worry, Coriander, there is me!" "Daylight took Ning Qian to his middle school classmates, and asked his classmate's authoritative father in the tumor hospital for help, and Ning Qian's father was immediately admitted to the hospital in Guangzhou; He arranged accommodation, transportation, and three meals a day for Ning Qian's mother, who accompanied his father; In order not to affect Ning Qian's work, he told her not to run at both ends during the day, and he tried to go back to Guangzhou on weekends to accompany his father in the hospital......
The hospital finally persuaded Ning Qian's father to go home to recuperate. Alan was also sad to know about Aimee's father's illness, so she asked her to go back every Friday night to visit and care, and then come back to work early Monday morning. Dad's condition is getting worse and worse, he is rapidly losing weight, he no longer has a smile on his face, and he no longer has the strength to speak.
On this day, his father, who had been lying in bed, suddenly asked Ning Qian to accompany him downstairs, and he was going to wait for daylight. Daylight said yes, I'll come from Hong Kong this afternoon. Ning Qian supported her father and stood at the intersection, her father's already deep facial features have really become carved now - without any fat support, all hard bones. Dad's eyes, which were already almost almost radiant, were full of anticipation at the moment.
"Dad, it's a little windy outside, let's go home and wait." Ning Qian looked at her father's appearance, and her heart hurt so much.
"It's okay, I'll wait. I have something very important to say to Xiaobai. ”
When the day finally appeared at the intersection, he saw Ning Qian and his father from a distance, and immediately ran over with his luggage. He gave his luggage to Ning Qian and went home with his father on his back. After gently helping my father to the bed during the day, I carefully took off the outer clothes for my father, and adjusted the angle of my father's pillow so that my father could talk to him comfortably. Dad asked to talk to Bai Tian alone, Ning Qian heard Dad's vomiting sound from time to time, and when he rushed into the room, Bai Tian helped Dad, gave Dad's mouth and wiped, without any disgust, but full of pity.
Dad let Ning Qian into the room, put Ning Qian's hand in Bai Tian's hand, and said in a weak voice: "Coriander, my baby little daughter, Xiao Bai is someone you can entrust for life, Dad feels very sorry, I can't see your wedding anymore, but Dad also feels very happy, and Xiaobai will continue to love my baby little daughter for me." ”
After Dad said this, he fell into a continuous coma. On the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, Dad left.
On the last night with her father, Ning Qian received a call from Justin, who learned the news of Aimee's father's departure and comforted her on the phone. Ning Qian politely expressed her gratitude. At that moment, the sky was so dark, so dark that there was not a single star, but Ning Qian saw her heart clearly in this endless darkness: Justin or Marcus, they can't take care of my father and support this collapsed world for me like Daylight, he is indeed the most suitable person for me.
Bai Tian took the initiative to handle everything and carried Ning Qian's home.
Ning Qian, who sent her father away, still couldn't accept this fact: Dad had less than three months from finding out he was sick to leaving, and when Dad left, he was just in his early fifties. In Ning Qian's heart, his father is still so young, and he will still have the opportunity to accompany him and take care of him in the future, how could he disappear all of a sudden?
"Daylight, what should I do? I'm really scared and regretful...... "In front of her mother, Ning Qian was very strong and assisted Bai Tian to handle all the processes in an orderly manner, but only in the face of Daylight, she completely collapsed and poured out all her tears.
"Coriander, I understand. If it was me before, I would definitely blame myself, is it a bad fate, Daddy. My own dad is gone, and I just felt the warmth of fatherly love from our dad, and he is gone. However, our father said to me, "I was sent by God to love my mother and sister for my father, and to continue to love you for him." I think Dad has a point. We can't control life and death, but love, we can inherit and continue. ”
"Coriander baby, you have me." The daytime hug is so powerful, he can really shelter me from the wind and rain.
The younger brother, who has just graduated from college, also stayed in Guangzhou to work, and after his father left, his mother stayed alone in the original house, seeing things and thinking about people, and often washed his face with tears. Bai Tian discussed with Sister Ning Qian's brother-in-law whether she could let her mother change her environment and move to Guangzhou to live, and her sister and brother-in-law also agreed. During the day, I discussed it with my mother again, and my mother agreed. During the day, he began to take Ning Qian to show his mother and younger brother the house in Guangzhou. Finally optimistic about a place, he paid the deposit directly. Mother and brother were very satisfied with all the arrangements, and my mother insisted on returning the deposit to Bai Day, saying that she could not let him contribute money and efforts and endure so much hardship, but Bai Tian said with a smile: "Running errands for my mother and brother cannot be regarded as hardship." "Mom was a little worried that she would be a little unreliable if she was too handsome during the day, but after so many things, her mother completely recognized this warm-hearted child.
Sure enough, a very formal marriage proposal ceremony was arranged during the day, and the two families met ceremoniously. Ning Qian's mother paid special attention to the costumes for this appearance, her mother, sister, brother-in-law, and younger brother all wore family clothes designed by her mother, and the family appeared very imposing. Mom said: When we meet for the first time, we must support Ning Qian, and in the future, she can hold her head high in front of her in-laws.
Dayday's mother insisted on giving a bride price, but Ning Qian's mother insisted on not accepting it:
"As long as the children like it, as long as they are happy. My daughter, your son, is our treasure and our greatest treasure, and since we are both willing to give each other our most precious treasures, there is no need for anything else. ”
Wedding, grandiose. Bai Tian said: His wife must be married with great fanfare, and he wants everyone who knows him to know how important his wife is to him! He did it: he did everything, Ning Qian, as long as he attended.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of not having a father in both families, the whole wedding banquet is more like a party for young people. Alumni, Bozhou, Youjia, and SM colleagues are the mainstay, supplemented by relatives and friends, relaxed and lively, and beaming. But Ning Qian saw it: at the main table, the two fathers were specially reserved for the day.
Justin flew in from Shanghai to attend their wedding. This was the first time he had met Bai Day, and the moment he saw him, he believed what Aimee said was her willing choice.
Fang Gang deliberately flew back to Guangzhou from Beijing to attend the wedding. This was also the first time he had seen Daylight, and the moment he saw it, he was glad that he didn't chase recklessly - this person's overall strength was too strong to fight.
Alan was going on vacation with his wife at this time and couldn't attend the wedding, but he sent a carefully selected painting and asked Aimee to send him a wedding photo: "I want to see what kind of man you will marry such a special girl." ”
Yes, this is a man embedded in her life, even in the infinite darkness, he can use his enthusiasm and warmth to illuminate her life as day, that is, day.
After the wedding, Bai Tian personally sent Ning Qian to Beijing. He carefully checked that every appliance in her apartment was safe, filled the refrigerator to the brim, and pasted his handwritten weekly recipe on the refrigerator – "I've sorted these ingredients into categories, you just have to take them out and do them according to the standards, Monday through Sunday." ”
"Are you afraid that I will starve to death?" Ning Qian was pressed against his chest, moving and pitiful.
"Yes, the wife who has worked so hard to marry home, of course, you have to protect it well and feel distressed!" The pain of the day is really into the bone marrow.
"It's cold in Beijing now, I'll help you put your plastic slippers in the bathroom, wear them when you take a shower, and after taking a shower, you have to dry your feet immediately and change them into cotton slippers, you know?"
Cotton slippers? Ning Qian remembered that after her father had entered a coma, her mother saw that the weather was cold and wanted to find out the cotton slippers at home, but she didn't know where to put them, so she asked Ning Qian to ask her father. Dad had been delirious for many days, and heard Ning Qian lying in his ear and saying, "Dad, Mom asked where are the cotton slippers?" Dad still opened his eyes with difficulty, and said in an extremely weak voice, "In the little attic." Ning Qian went to the small attic and turned out a pair of cotton slippers of the family that were cleanly washed and neatly wrapped in moisture-proof paper when her father was changing seasons. Yes, my dad is a warm man, and my day is also a warm man.
Ning Qian was wearing plastic slippers after taking a bath, and was about to wipe her feet, when she came over with a dry towel during the day: "Come, stretch your little feet over!" ”
Ning Qian obediently stretched out her feet.
Dry my toes carefully one by one during the day, this action, this force, why is it so similar to the feeling of my father wiping my feet when I was a child? Am I missing my dad too much?
