Chapter 16 The street lights are bright but cold
"Dad, if one day I have to go to a far away place, you and Mom have to take good care of ourselves."
Father Shen was stunned for a moment, then punched him and said angrily: "I just said something nice to you, and you deliberately angered me, right?!" ”
Shen Yisheng looked down at the cigarette butt between his fingers, "No, the news should come out soon, let's talk about it then." ”
"Alas......" The look on Father Shen's face clearly indicated that he wanted to say something more, but he still didn't say anything in the end.
Shen Yisheng has been an adult for a long time, and he is no longer the little follower who follows him and regards everything he says as a correct thing, and now Shen Yisheng has the ability to think independently.
And Shen's father also believes that his son is by no means so reckless.
After a while, Father Shen scratched his head and said, "Go back, don't let your mother wait alone." ”
"Hmm," Shen Yisheng tossed the cigarette butt into the trash.
When he went out with Shen's father, the young man who was leaning against the wall and smoking was gone, leaving only a lot of ashes on the ground.
Lifting a curtain, Shen Yisheng saw his mother at a glance, half-lying on the table, boredly cutting the plate of strawberries into thin slices, if there was a microscope at the moment, maybe she would be ready to take a closer look at the structure in this strawberry flakes.
Father Shen slapped Shen Yisheng on the shoulder and said: "Look at her, the older she gets, the stronger the girl's heart becomes, I didn't see her so fond of dressing up when I was young before, this time I went out to pick a skirt and perm my hair, and I tossed enough." ”
"My mother was too busy when she was young and didn't have time to dress up, so she finally retired, but she couldn't come back."
Shen Yisheng looked at his father and said, "You still spoil her a little more on weekdays." ”
"Then you still need to say, she is my wife, I don't spoil her, who will spoil her."
Father Shen teased him and said, "When will you find such a virtuous girl to come back?" Your mom will be overjoyed. ”
Shen Yisheng avoided the topic a little embarrassed, and said, "It's still early, and I don't know what my favorite partner is." ”
"Earlier, I heard that the other professors in your scientific research institute are all married and in love, and some of them have several children. If you don't pay attention to it, it's too far away from others, other people's children will play soy sauce, and you haven't fallen in love yet! ”
"Besides, this kind of thing can't be rushed, I still have some things, so I'll go over to eat first."
Shen's father always felt that Shen Yisheng had a bit of a posture of running away, as soon as he remembered that some time ago, his students came to visit and specially told him a "big event", he felt a pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to let Shen Yisheng's mother know, otherwise it would be a bloody storm.
He touched his gray hair, and finally let Shen Yisheng go.
No matter what to do, what can a person of his age do, and it is a blessing to live happily every day.
The affairs of the children and grandchildren will naturally be handled by themselves, and as an elder, there are too many things to manage, which will cause people to be upset.
Shen Yisheng walked to his mother and sat down, reached out to take a glass of red wine, and drank it all.
The sea breeze that blew all over my stomach just now, and this glass of red wine finally felt a little warmer.
"Drink slowly, don't drink too quickly."
Shen's mother felt a little sorry for him, helped him put the wine glass back on the table, and then handed a plate of steak that had been cut to Shen Yisheng.
"How about you taste it, I think it's okay, so I'll order another one for you."
Shen Yisheng originally ate almost, plus he had something on his mind, so he didn't have much appetite, but Shen's mother ordered it specifically for him, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he forked a piece with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, which tasted a little special.
It was the kind of spice taste that he couldn't tell, a little sweet of maltose, and a rich taste of raw garlic, and after tasting it, Shen Yisheng pushed the plate of steak back.
"Doesn't it taste good?" Shen's mother was a little disappointed, "After you went to college, you rarely stayed at home to eat, and I don't remember what you like to eat." ”
Father Shen raised his eyelids and said comfortingly: "Next time you celebrate your birthday, let Shen Yisheng go home, and you can cook for him by yourself." ”
Shen Yisheng said with a smile: "How can someone let her cook for her birthday!" ”
"Then what do you say, anyway, your mother is sad for your business, and you have to solve it."
Shen Yisheng waved his hand helplessly, "I'll go home next time and cook for your second elder, it's okay, right?" ”
He raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was almost time, and it was time to go back and check the information.
"I have to go first, there are still a lot of things for me to deal with, next time I have time, I'll come to see you again."
Shen's mother hurriedly stood up and handed him the suit jacket that Shen Yisheng had placed on the chair, "Let's go, be careful when you go home, you drank so much wine just now, if you feel aggrieved, sleep for a while and get up again, don't be too aggrieved." ”
"Okay, how old is he, and he doesn't know how to deal with his negative emotions."
Shen's father pressed Shen's mother's shoulder, asked her to sit down, and then motioned for Shen Yisheng to hurry up.
"If you want me to say, you're just too nervous, he's an adult, can he make any unforgivable mistakes?!"
After Shen Yisheng left, Shen's mother withdrew the gaze she had been watching, turned her head, and sighed deeply.
She didn't know that what Shen's father said was also the truth, but as a mother of a child, her heart was always connected with Shen Yisheng, and if he was sad, she would also feel distressed.
"He must have encountered something in scientific research, but this kid has a stubborn personality and refuses to tell the truth."
Mother Shen said that she felt that her eyes were a little hot, she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said: "As a father, you should help him more, if you can help him a little more, is he still just a little professor?" ”
Every time she talks about this matter, Shen's mother will always bring out this sentence, how can Shen's father not feel sorry for his child.
It's just that there is no way to change some things, if he has the opportunity, how can he not want his children to have more room for development, but they don't know Shen Yisheng's character, and they have never asked anyone.
There are always bitter tears swallowed in my stomach, and I won't tell them at all, if someone else hadn't broken the news this time.
I'm afraid that Father Shen doesn't know now that Shen Yisheng has offended more than half of the scientific research community for the sake of a foreign creature.
"Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, he has his own ideas in his heart, so let, as elders, don't interfere too much."
The wind at night is so cold, cold and cold blowing on people's faces, it actually makes people feel a little biting.
Shen Yisheng drank a few glasses of wine, felt warm in his belly, he carried a suit jacket in one hand, and walked on the street, the street lights were very bright in some places, and there were only a few scattered in some places, and he specially selected those lonely streets to walk.
In the distance are two groups of young couples, talking while walking, and playing with each other.
Although the boys' clothes are not particularly luxurious, and the girls' makeup is not so exquisite, the smiles on their faces are the most sincere and rare in the world.
Shen Yisheng smiled a little enviously, took off the frame of his glasses, and put it in his pocket.
In the past, when he was studying, the degree of myopia was not high, but after participating in the work, he hid in the laboratory day and night, often overusing his eyes, and the power of his eyes naturally increased.
After taking off the glasses, Shen Yisheng's vision was obviously blocked, and the world seemed to change in his eyes.
The neon signs, which were still clearly visible, have been blurred into spots of light, which are terribly warm.
Fortunately, he can still see the section of the road under his feet, although he is a little unsteady, but he is still on the same road.
If he guessed correctly, the end of this road should be a sea.
It was the same as the restaurant where he and his parents had dined before, and the large sea behind it.
In fact, Shen Yisheng was not particularly anxious to go back to read the literature, but he didn't know why, he was not very happy to stay there for a long time.
Maybe it's because I'm worried that my expression will change, and my mother, who has always been accustomed to observing words and feelings, will see it.
In front of his parents, he always has a sense of alienation, this sense of alienation is not formed overnight, but in the day and night, little by little from intimacy, to the current kind of intimacy that seems to be familiar, but can never go into the depths of his heart.
The weather was cold, Shen Yisheng sighed, and white gas came out of his mouth, he rubbed his hand that had been blown by the night wind and was almost unconscious, and put his coat on the ground in three or two.
It's always a black suit, but this time there is a slightly thicker vest inside, which is also because when he was about to go out, the little assistant specially prompted - it will suddenly cool down tonight, so he will wear a thicker.
In the moment when he was distracted just now, the two teams of couples in front of him had disappeared.
It should have gone to the seaside, Shen Yisheng used to follow the gathering of the scientific research institute and went to the beach to play together, there is a large beach, and there are several small shops there, which can provide barbecue grills and some game props.
However, if you come and play on a sunny day, I'm afraid it will be better than now.
But Shen Yisheng laughed self-deprecatingly, how could he, an old man who was already thirty-two years old, think the same as those young people.
He coughed, his throat and eyes hurt from the wind, and he quickly closed his mouth, intending to go in the other direction.
This seaside is too cold for him to go alone.
After walking back some distance, under a dim street lamp, there was a young man leaning against the wall with a silver dinner knife in his hand.
Shen Yisheng couldn't see clearly without glasses, and he could only barely recognize that this person looked a little like the person who had smoked in the restaurant before, but he didn't intend to be nosy, rubbed his blown red nose, and continued to walk forward.
"Stop, didn't you see the master robbing here?!"
The tone of the voice seemed to have been heard somewhere.
