During the spring break of my first year of my Ph.D., I received something from my rosary. Two sets of little boys' white shirts, said to be Qi Qi Nu respectively

se

y (toll) at graduation and Receptio

Wear it at the beginning of the school year. In addition, there are three or four bottles of pickled sugar osmanthus, two bottles of Pingwang spicy sauce, a box of perfumed rose-flavored watermelon seeds, and the most valuable, vacuum-packed begonia cake.

Full of memories of S City.

In addition to these, a postcard is attached. The handwriting on it, I recognized at a glance, was not a rosary. Although it didn't get paid, I know who made it.

The rosary said, "My immigration procedures have been approved." These days, when I am comprador things, I always feel that I have to bring this too, and I have to buy that. Looking at the Dongting Emperor in the courtyard, he suddenly had a sense of regret. I used to think about leaving every day, but when it was time to leave, I deeply realized the "separation". Before leaving, I would like to go to Maokong to retrieve the last letter I wrote "to the future". Because I clearly know that the future me will not be in the place where the letter is written. As a result, I saw this postcard by chance.

I think he wants you to see it. Although this hope is close to remoteness, I will help him realize it, even if it is a little immoral condemnation.

Anyway, you should know. Far away, you also need such a distant love. In this world, don't forget that someone is loving you so affectionately and genuinely.

Thank you, dear rosary. My eyes blurred with tears as I rubbed the postcard again. On it, a strong and flowing pen was written, and Pushkin's poem "I Used to Love You" was written. There is no address, no recipient, not even a payment. But I and the rosary both recognized Zhai Yi's handwriting:

I used to love you—

Love, perhaps, is in my heart

Not completely dead yet

Hopefully it won't bother you anymore

I don't want to make you sad and sad anymore

I once loved you silently and hopelessly

I endured both shyness and jealousy

I have loved you so sincerely, so tenderly

May God bless you, and so will the other person

Love you as much as I do

Finally, the rosary told me: "Zhai Yi will go to England soon." He applied to the University of Edinburgh. After a pause, she added, "I'll tell him your number." ”

He...... Know what happened to your child? "I wanted to say more.

"No...... I didn't tell him. "Besides, I didn't tell him your address." So whether you see him or not, the decision is yours. ”

I can imagine how well-intentioned the rosary is, and I can't help but wet my eyes, "Okay, I see." Prayer beads...... You take care. ”

Before the start of my second year of PhD, the rosary flew to Seattle with my parents.

Qiqi is four years old and has started to enter Receptio

(Preschool) stage.

Although and the Nu before it

se

y (kindergarten) belongs to the same category as "Ea."

ly yea

"(Early Childhood Education), but this is a more formal education in the UK. For the sake of Qiqi's physical and mental health development, I plan to change to a larger residence before Qiqi officially enters primary school.

The average price of a house in London is 90,000 pounds per ping, which is about 80,000 yuan, which is not much worse than the magic capital and the imperial capital of China. But according to Zuo Yi, it is still better than Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, the house is almost 150,000 square meters, which makes me smack.

The money from the sale of the wine, that is, the money that can buy a house in London.

Edinburgh starts half a month earlier than UCL. I think Zhai Yi should have arrived in Scotland by now.

Until Qiqi and I officially started school, he didn't contact me. That's good, too.

In fact, I didn't think about what I would do and what I could do if he contacted me.

Hide? Move out with the kids. But she didn't have to hide from him, Zhai Yi didn't know that the child was his.

If he doesn't leave, he's coming, how is she going to communicate with him? reminiscing as an old friend, or strangling the possibility of him becoming his new love with a resolute attitude. What if, by virtue of the nature of father and son, he finds out that Qiqi is his son? Because I and he are the biological mother and father of the child, respectively, do we have to be mixed together?

Now this situation is saving me this trouble. I don't know if it was because I was worried about the high housing prices in London, or because of something else, I didn't sleep well for several days after school started.

Fortunately, I live close to the school now, so I don't have to get up a few hours early to take the bus, and I can ride a bicycle for about ten minutes to get to school.

Circumstances change with the passage of time. After I convinced myself with these four words, my insomnia and dreams were cured.

Today's Halloween, I made jack-o'-lanterns with Qiqi. I followed his idea and helped him dress up as a little vampire prince, with ketchup on his lips and went out to ask for a lot of candy.

I asked him, "Did you steal it?" ”

"Nope." He clutched his mouth and said.

"How many can we eat a day?"

"No more than five. No more than nine o'clock in the evening. Always brush your teeth after eating. He said.

"Good." I said, "Pokemo."

and remember what you say. You're not a three-year-old anymore. Manly, when it comes to what must be done. Otherwise, when they grow up, no girl will like a boy who doesn't talk much. ”

"I don't need girls to like." Qiqi said. "I think they're stupid and noisy."

I leaned in to sniff his little red mouth, and asked, "Is the hazelnut chocolate good?" ”

"No, it's Matsuren." He laughed.

As soon as he blurted out the words, he realized that the secret had been leaked, and quickly closed his mouth tightly, glancing at my expression with his spare eyes.

I got angry, walked over to the jack-o-lantern and cut the wick shorter, saying, "If you keep going like this, your teeth will rot." When the time comes, the witch will take up residence in the black hole...... When the time comes, it's too late for you to regret it. ”

"My teeth won't rot." He said confidently. "Because I met a good friend. He's a dentist, and I'm not afraid of him here. ”

"Good friends? Dentist? I was shocked when I heard this, but my face remained silent, "Nonsense, how can there be such a powerful person in your school?" I won't talk about Tomas, the dentist he played last time in the stage show. ”

"No, it's a real dentist." Qiqi said.

"How did you meet him?" I asked.

"I ......" Qiqi suddenly stopped talking and squinted at me, "Mommy, you want to trick me again, but I won't be fooled." ”

"You!" I froze, "I'm afraid you've been deceived, and you don't even know." How do you know if he's going to be a bad guy? ”

"Uncle Dentist is not a bad person! Mommy, I'm not allowed you to say that about my friend. ”

This is upside down. I suppressed the words that came to me, slowed down, and said, "Anyway, if he asks for your home address, you must not say it." He wants to take you anywhere, and you can't say yes. You say, Mommy or Madeleine are coming to pick you up. Remember? ”

Before I could finish my sentence, Qi Qi interrupted impatiently, "Am I that stupid?" I don't know how many times Teacher Fanny said what you said when I was in the nursery class. ”

"Okay." I decided not to be a tiresome old mom anymore, "I'm sure you won't let me down." ”

With half a month to go before Christmas, the festive atmosphere on the streets of London is already quite strong. Instead of the bustle of red and green, the Christmas market looks exquisite with elegant blues, greens and golds, and it has the grandeur of a big city.

One morning, I was woken up by Qiqi's scream, and he ran to my bedside excitedly, "wake up to s."

ow！ (When I wake up, I see snow)

I hurriedly opened the curtains, only to see snowflakes falling one after another, which was really pleasantly surprised. London, like S City, does not have much snow in winter, and occasionally it snows a little, and it disappears before it reaches the ground. It is rare for snow to accumulate a white layer on the ground like today.

"Do you know about snow?" I laughed and teased him. Because in his short life, there is no memory of snow.

"I've seen it on TV. I've seen it in books. "He's talking about the National Geographic book I subscribed to. Before I could say anything, he burst out with another sentence, "I haven't seen pork, I've seen pigs run." ”

Abuse vulgar use, but also use the wrong one. I corrected him, "I haven't 'eaten' pork, I've never seen a pig run." ”

"Oh."

It was snowing, so I wasn't going to ride it. But Madeleine arrived a little later than usual because of the slippery snow, and I waited for her to arrive before pushing the cart out the door. There is an exam today, and in any case, we have to get there as soon as possible.

Although this snow is not comparable to the snow in S City in 2008, after a long time on the battlefield, the front tire of my bicycle skidped, and I fell down with people and cars.

At this moment, someone helped me up. I thought it was ......, but when I turned around, it was Jeffrey.

"Why are you here?" I asked him.

"I'm going to find you." "I found it," he said. ”

"Don't make a fuss." I said, "You're out of class, I still have a very important exam waiting for me today." ”

"I'll send you." "I finished my final exams yesterday," he said. ”

I shook my head, stood firm, and pushed my bike forward. "I'm sorry, Jeffrey, I'm really late."

He stepped forward and grabbed the bike, "It's too late, you still don't want to sit up?" Have you forgotten that I used to be the best at flying? As long as you dare to sit down, you will definitely be able to catch the exam within the allotted time. ”

"Good...... All right. "I walked over and sat down in the back of the car.

Sure enough, the speeder is not covered. Not to mention the speed of riding a 4x4 car on this snow, but the speed of a battery car is always there.

I made it to the exam.

After the exam, I walked with Zheng Encheng, who had already returned from interdisciplinary training, and talked about the knowledge points I was confused about just now, and walked to Go in UCL

do

At the door of the café, Jeffrey greeted him from the café with a large bouquet of roses.

He handed me the rose, "If you can't marry me now, then please fall in love with me first!" If you can't fall in love with me yet, then go on a date with me first! Teresa, I'm not the hairy kid I was a few years ago, I've seriously thought about it, I think you're the kind of girl I want! ”

The eyes of the people around were immediately attracted, and some people even whistled. Zheng Encheng looked at me, his face also showed a little stunned, and after a moment he asked quietly, "Is this ...... Little Brown? ”

I let out a faint "um" and looked up, "Jeffrey, I really thank you for doing me a great favor this morning." But I ...... I ......," I looked at the crowd of onlookers and lowered my head, "I already have someone I like." ”

"Impossible." Jeffrey said, "I know you're lying to me. ”

"No, there really is." I looked at Zheng Encheng with a pleading gaze, and he immediately understood, but before he could say anything, Jeffrey had already said, "If so, you tell me who he is?" As long as there is such a person, I will die. Who are you talking about? His gaze fell on Zheng Euncheng, who had been standing next to me all along, "Is he here too?" If so, Teresa, you point it out to me. ”

"It's me." A familiar and unfamiliar voice rang out from the back of the crowd.
