Chapter 1: The eldest lady of the Lian family who has a brain pain
Coming out of the house, Lian Xin started the car and drove towards his small apartment. While driving, Lian Xin couldn't help but recall his life in the past 27 years.
Since coming out to work, Lian Xin has moved out of Lian's house and rented a small house near her teaching school, and she rarely goes home unless something happens.
Few people in the upper social circle of City A know about Lian Xin's existence, and almost no one should know that the Lian family actually has twin daughters. Everyone thought that the Lian family only had one daughter, Lian Xin.
can't blame anyone, Lian Xin has lived in her grandmother's house since she was a child, only her mother and brother will often visit her, and her father is very busy and rarely has time to look for her. It's not her father's fault, it's her own problem. Since she was a child, she has been disgusted with the life of this high society, and when she was still a baby, she showed a sense of disgust for the drinking party held in the middle of the night. So every time there was a wine or banquet at home, she would cry and cry, and she couldn't coax it. There were a few times when my father asked someone to come home to talk about business, but because of her crying, it was disturbed.
That period coincided with the development stage of the Lian family, and these businesses were of great significance to the Lian family. Her crying affected Lien's cooperation. Because of this, even though she was still a very young child, her father still didn't have a good face for her. The world of children is very simple, and only those who are good to her will be close. Her father's way of doing so pushed her farther and farther away, so much so that it is difficult to repair it today.
Later, her mother sent her to her grandmother's house in the suburbs, when she was only two years old. The cause was in an important negotiation, because of her crying, which caused the emotional distress of the collaborator, and the cooperation failed completely. In a fit of rage, her father forced her mother to send her away.
On the contrary, Lian Xin has not been afraid of people since she was a child, and she was seen by her father's partners several times, and took the initiative to get close to them, which made them happy and made her father very happy.
In such a strong contrast, her father disliked her even more, and she saw him only a few times in her childhood.
She didn't go to an aristocratic school since she was a child, she followed her cousin and cousin to an ordinary school. Because she grew up in her grandmother's house, she was not close to Lian Xin, and compared to her dislike of the upper-class life in City A when she was very young, Lian Xin was extremely excited. My father once joked: This is the child of the upper class of City A.
When I was in my first year of graduate school, my mother fell seriously ill and she had to go home. But my mother's illness did not improve because of the family reunion, and she eventually left. Soon after, the eldest brother threatened to run away from home in pursuit of his ideals, and said that he would not be in charge of his father's company. Her father, who had suffered a major blow at once, was admitted to the hospital, which forced her to stay, who was supposed to leave.
Although she has never been close to her father, she has to abide by her mother's last words, and Lian Xin works hard to maintain that family affection. During the time when her father was hospitalized, she took care of him in the hospital day and night, regardless of her busy studies. Although they are father and daughter, they are equivalent to strangers, and there is not much communication between the two people.
The father, who was well in condition, suddenly remembered the father-daughter relationship and began to care about her from time to time. But now she doesn't need it anymore, since she hasn't gotten it since she was a child, she won't pursue it now. Every time he faced the enthusiasm shown by his father, Lian Xin didn't feel much.
After his father got better, Lian Xin lived at home until he came out to work. Although they have lived at home for a few years, the relationship between Lian Xin and Lian Xin is still cold. She didn't bother to repair the sisterhood that had been cold for twenty years, and besides, she was very busy with her studies, really busy. She studied anthropology, and often had to go out to the field, and often went for more than a week, so she didn't have much time and energy to establish a so-called family relationship with Lian Xin.
It took me four years to finish my master's and doctoral studies, and I returned to City A to find a job as a university teacher at University C. Thinking of this, Lian Xin couldn't help but wonder if she was right when she insisted on returning to China.
She studied both her bachelor's and master's degrees in China, and she was in S City. When she was taking the Ph.D., as a student who loved anthropology, she was very ambitious. So during her master's degree, she boldly applied to Yale University, and in the end, she passed.
For anthropology students, if they enter Yale, then Mary Shaw is their ultimate goal, she is one of the world's leading anthropology scholars, not only in methodology, but also in research topics, she is very assertive. Although she has a great reputation, Mary Xiao Guijing is not much expensive, and she is very strict with the selection of students. Fortunately, when Lian Xin entered the school, Mary Xiao was working on a research project on China, and she was successfully selected by Mary Xiao as one of the few Chinese students that year.
Under Mary Shaw's rigorous training, Lian Xin's grades were very good, and before she graduated, the Yale school had already put forward a proposal that she would stay in the school to teach. Being able to stay at Yale to teach is exciting news for any Yale student, but at that time, Lian Xin was very confused, and she didn't know if she should stay. In fact, to be honest, in a foreign country where the humanities have developed so well, she doesn't really want to stay abroad, but wants to return to China. When she first entered the undergraduate program, she was too impressed by the words of the class guide. He said that in China, few people are willing to study sociology, anthropology and other majors, because these majors do not directly bring benefits, in short, you can't see the existence of money, but these are the most basic disciplines, are the disciplines that make people become rational, looking at many famous foreign leaders, many of them are from this kind of discipline, but there is no domestic one.
She wants to return to China, and she wants to use her strength to train more students who are interested in subjects like anthropology. At the beginning, she didn't voluntarily apply for this subject, but it was the teacher who made her change her opinion, so she became such a teacher. She hopes that students who choose the subject, whether voluntarily or passively, will gain a new understanding of anthropology, rather than just reading that diploma.
At that time, Teacher Mary Xiao also hoped that she could stay, but Lian Xin insisted on leaving. In China, the best humanities are in cities A and S, but the most specialized in anthropology is in C University in city A. Since Lian Xin insisted on choosing to go back, after all, he was a student he valued very much, and Mary Xiao recommended Lian Xin to go to C University.
Lian Xin only took an undergraduate for one year at C University, and directly took a graduate student in the second year, after all, there are still too few outstanding scholars who have returned from abroad. Lian Xin is very grateful for the importance of the school, and she is more serious in teaching than before, but she is still relatively inexperienced, and the first year of taking graduate students is still quite difficult, but fortunately, everything is now on the right track.
And Lian Xin, whether it is the trajectory of growth or life, is in City A. Although Lian Xin's grades were not as good as her and Lian Lian, she still got a key university diploma after all. Although they are twin sisters, the two can almost be said to have zero communication, let alone intersect in behavior. Except for that family trip, which she had to attend because it was her father's sixtieth birthday.
It was that time that she and Lian Xin's ID cards were exchanged. If it weren't for the school's evaluation of job titles this time, the submitted materials and ID cards were sent back, she really didn't notice the exchange of ID cards and Lian Xin.
When I came back from the investigation, I heard Aunt Liu, who was in charge of the Lian family, say that Lian Xin was married. In hindsight, she suddenly realized: If she and Lian Xin's ID card were confused, and they got married again during this time, could it be that their marriage certificate was her name?
Thinking of this, Lian Xin inexplicably wanted to be rude, so she used some contacts to check. Although she didn't live in the Lian family, her brother Lian Lian has been very good to her since she was a child, and she knows more or less about the dating circle of Lian. So this time, she asked a connected friend to help investigate.
Sure enough, the results of the investigation showed that the person who got the marriage certificate with Jiang Yu was Lian Xin and not Lian Xin.
Seriously, when she learned about this, Lian Xin broke out in a cold sweat: she, who has never been in love, suddenly has an extra husband, or a husband who has never met.
She knew that Lian Xin was messing around and had a bad attitude towards her, but this time Lian Xin was really too much, and she didn't contact her even if she knew that her ID card was wrong, to be honest, her first reaction was that she felt that Lian Xin was playing tricks on her.
Lian Xin because her father was kind to her since she was a child, which led to some psychological distortion, she wanted everything in the family, and she happened to meet a brother and sister who didn't want anything, and Lian Xin thought that everything in Lian Xin's family was hers. So at the beginning, when Lian Xin came back to live, his father's attitude towards Lian Xin gave Lian Xin a sense of crisis, and he didn't trouble her a lot. But Lian Xin really didn't expect that this time, Lian Xin would actually joke about marriage.
But it's strange to say, I don't know if it's because of guilt for not taking care of her, Lian Yi has been so good to her in recent years that he is even a little afraid of her!
Lian Xin knew that it was a bit scary to start a fire once he started, and his mother once said that he was like a very grandfather, and when he had a good temper, he was approachable to death, and once he started a fire elephant tiger. But she didn't need Lian Yi's goodness, not only did it not bring her any benefits, but it caused her a lot of trouble.
In the Lian family, her closest person is her brother in addition to her mother. Although the eldest brother has been living at home since he was a child, he will often visit her and treat her very well, better than his mother treats her. At the beginning, she chose S University in S City, also because she was connected there, but unfortunately, she returned to City A when she was a graduate student, and the two siblings were only together for two years in S City.
For the Lian family, she has too little memory since she was a child, and it may be a kind of resistance, she always subconsciously doesn't want to have too much contact with the Lian family, but it backfires, the more she seems to be clear, the more she keeps cutting off the Lian family.
Thinking of this, Lian Xin couldn't help but sigh.
Now she just wants to be her teacher quietly, do her research, and live her life in peace. Why can't such a small requirement be met?
This may be the reason why her attitude is too extreme tonight! But since this matter has come to this point, she doesn't want to retreat, her name is her name, from the moment she gets the card, the name and every number on it belongs to hers, why should she back down on the premise that she is not wrong. Moreover, she always felt that she should go and meet that Jiang Yu.
In that case, then she will go!
