Seventy-Seven
It was a rare quiet morning since the New Year, with no relatives or friends to come to pay New Year's greetings, and the whole family had no travel arrangements. Tang Jianyu woke up a little later than usual, and went downstairs to see that his parents had already eaten breakfast. Tang's father sat at the dining table and looked through today's newspaper, and when he saw his son, he asked, "Go exercise?" Tang Jianyu shook his head, "When I go to the gym at night, the weather is too cold and it's a bit unbearable outside." Where's my mom? Father Tang went to the study Nunu mouth, "There is a lot of progress in the New Year, and I am in a hurry!" ”
Tang Jianyu turned around to the kitchen with a smile, brought the breakfast prepared by his mother to the dining table, and said to his father: "Is it a collection about orchids made by the Flower and Bird Association?" Father Tang nodded, turned the page of the newspaper in his hand, and replied: "She has nothing else to do except this episode, and she has to contribute even with me!" "What's wrong?" "I am forced to write a preface to her every day, how can I understand this!" Tang Jianyu swallowed a mouthful full of soy milk and grinned: "Whether you understand or not, only my mother knows best." The corners of Father Tang's mouth curled, and he shook his head and didn't speak again.
Tang Jianyu finished his breakfast slowly, cleaned up and sat back down with his father, and said, "Today I plan to call Li Yaxin." Father Tang turned his head when he heard the words and asked, "Have you thought about it?" "Well, there has to be a story. It's been a week, and there's no movement at all from their house, so I guess I'm waiting for me to make a statement first! Father Tang closed the newspaper and put it on the seat, adjusted his sitting posture, and didn't ask much, just said: "If you decide something, you will deal with it, no matter what decision is made by the family, it will support you." Tang Jianyu nodded with a heavy face.
At this time, Tang's mother came over with a silk cloth in both hands, and when she saw Tang Jianyu, she said, "It's really strange that you got up late today." Tang Jianyu replied: "You were too focused to pay attention to me." I even washed the breakfast bowls. Tang's mother walked carefully in front of the two of them, holding up the square paper in her hand, and Tang Jianyu saw that it was a flowerless orchid. How's that, it's still stretchy and tangible from the leaves, right? Tang Jianyu leaned his face over and said with a smile: "I don't understand this, just look good!" Mother Tang sneered and held the flower in front of her husband, "You say." Father Tang put down Erlang's legs, leaned back, made a posture to be appreciated, and shook his head: "I don't understand!" ”
Seeing his mother's expression change suddenly, his father couldn't help laughing, and Tang Jianyu almost laughed out loud. I thought that Tang's mother would have to raise eyebrows at Tang's father, but the woman was not angry but laughed, turned around and walked to the study while carrying the painting and said: "No matter how you pretend to be me, you have to write for me, and you have to mention the words to me!" After saying that, he went back to the study with a swagger.
After lunch, Tang Jianyu remembered that the materials he borrowed in the university last time seemed to be about to expire, so he decided to go out and see the situation at the university, which could also give him a good mood. As soon as he drove out of the alley, he ate a red light for more than 90 seconds, Tang Jianyu pinched the steering wheel, drove the car to the side of the road after the green light was on, and took out his mobile phone.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and a soft voice came from the long-lost whisper, "Hello, Happy New Year." Tang Jianyu was stunned for a moment and replied: "Happy New Year!" Hearing a lot of mahjong on the opposite side, Tang Jianyu then asked, "Are you on vacation today?" "Well, it just so happens that there are guests at home, watching them play mahjong." Such a bland conversation caught Tang Jianyu a little off guard, and after he said "um", he was a little confused about the purpose of this phone call.
Hearing that Tang Jianyu didn't speak, Li Yaxin asked softly, "Is there something wrong?" Tang Jianyu was even more caught off guard, and he asked himself the same question almost at the same time. My family called me, so I didn't hang up beforehand. Li Yaxin said, Tang Jianyu quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! Something. That's our business. Who knew that Li Yaxin laughed and asked, "Do we have anything else?" Tang Jianyu felt a blockage in his throat and didn't know how to deal with it.
Facing another round of silence from Tang Jianyu, Li Yaxin deepened her smile and said, "I know, then let's make an appointment again." After today's break, I don't think I'll be free until next week, when all middle school students start school next week. "It's okay, I'll work with your time." "Okay, I'm a little busy here, so I'll hang up first?" Tang Jianyu also heard Li's mother calling her, and said lightly, "Okay".
This is an indescribable feeling, and it seems that it is Li Yaxin who has never been seen before on the phone. Tang Jianyu leaned on the back of the chair and thought about it, and three or four cars roared past him, "It's okay." He straightened up, muttered to himself, and set off again.
"Uncle Zhang, Happy New Year!" Tang Jianyu put his head on the glass of the guard room of the city university and called, and when the uncle saw it, he hurriedly came over and opened the door, invited Tang Jianyu into a small room with the heater on, and said, "Little Tang, why did you come to school today?" Tang Jianyu only wore a tweed coat, and as soon as he entered the room, he felt the temperature difference, put his hand on the heater, and replied while drying: "The borrowed materials are about to expire, let's see if there is anyone on duty in the library." ”
Uncle Zhang shook his hand, "University is not as good as primary and secondary schools, and you can almost find people after the Lantern Festival!" Tang Jianyu nodded: "Yes, I also passed by and saw your old man paying a New Year's greeting!" Uncle Zhang smiled, and said several "Happy New Year", after a while, Tang Jianyu was about to leave, Uncle Zhang asked him where he was going, he was stunned and said casually, "Go home", Uncle came over, and said with a surprised face: "You don't want to see Professor Du?" Tang Jianyu felt that something was wrong, and said a little suspiciously: "I went to worship the New Year before." Uncle Zhang said: "Du Lao had a stroke yesterday, and he is in the first hospital of the city!" Tang Jianyu was shocked: "Really? How do you know. "Isn't your Uncle Zhao a relative of the principal, I said it here in the morning." "Oh, then I won't tell you, I'll go to the hospital." Without waiting for Uncle Zhang to reply, he hurriedly opened the door and left, all the way to the hospital.
According to what was confirmed by Shi Niang on the phone, Du Lao, the mentor of Tang Jianyu when he was studying for a bachelor's degree, did go to the hospital yesterday because of a stroke, "Fortunately, it was a small stroke, half of the body was numb, and now it can move, and the doctor said that there will be no sequelae after three months of recuperation." However, it is necessary to take strict precautions, and the second recurrence will be serious. ”
Tang Jianyu was a little relieved, and when he arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the ward, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw two beds, and Du Lao was half lying on the bed inside. The master and wife were not there, and there were three people about the same age as Tang Jianyu around the bed, a man and a woman were standing, and a man was sitting on the edge of the bed, talking about something, which made Du Lao smile.
"Ah, Ah Yu arrived so soon, and he didn't go in yet." The master walked into the ward with a basin of washed fruits, and happened to bump into Tang Jianyu, who had just arrived at the door, and led him into the house. Hearing his wife's words, Du Lao and the three of them all looked at Tang Jianyu. Du Lao Sheng stretched out a hand and said, "Oh, why is Ah Yu here, is your master scared you again!" Tang Jianyu walked to the side of the bed, frowned and blamed: "You are really good, you were fine the day before yesterday!" Today...... "What's wrong with me, it's just that this left hand can't be raised for the time being, and I can still chase you for data in a few days?" As he spoke, he looked up at the other three people and asked, "Is it true?" and the other three said "What the teacher said" like coaxing a child.
It turned out that these three were all students that Du Lao had taken in the past, and after Du Lao took turns to introduce them, he pointed to the man who was sitting on the edge of the bed and said, "This is your senior brother, both bachelor's and master's degrees are the same major as yours, and the doctor is still brought by me!" Zhang Kun. When Tang Jianyu heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I'm glad to meet you." ”
The man quickly pushed his fingers, the last bit of peel was peeled off, he handed the peeled apple to Professor Du, and put away the fruit knife, then held Tang Jianyu's hand and returned: "Fortunately." There aren't many people studying math these days. Tang Jianyu nodded, and they looked at each other. Different from Tang Jianyu's elegance and handsomeness, Zhang Kun's angular face is sharp, and his deep eyes are shocking and cold.
At this time, the wife brought the fruit to the bedside table, and saw that the two students of my wife's favorite finally got acquainted, and she couldn't help but tell a joke, "You Teacher Du specially brought a family with difficulties, this is not the year before last I just implemented one, and another one!" These two are still handing over the baton here! Professor Du pointed at his wife and shook his head, and everyone laughed.
Several students left each other's contact information, and after meeting again when they were free, Tang Jianyu said goodbye from the teacher and went home. Walking to the registration hall, Tang Jianyu heard someone calling him, and when he raised his eyes, it was a fat nurse with dimples. Tang Jianyu remembered that she was a colleague of Li Yaxin in a duty room, and once met Li Yaxin at the door when she sent her back to the hospital.
"Hey, the handsome guy came to Yaxin?" "No, I just finished a visit." The fat nurse suddenly realized and said, "I said, how could you not know that she was on annual leave?" Tang Jianyu nodded, and the nurse said, "How is it, are the wedding preparations going well?" Tang Jianyu rolled his eyes and asked, "Me and Li Yaxin?" "Otherwise, you don't have to hide it for her, she said that she would take wedding photos as soon as the weather was hot, and the shift transfer report was ready."
Tang Jianyu nodded thoughtfully and did not answer the fat nurse's words. I made an excuse and hurriedly left. He took out his mobile phone to determine the next date, and secretly thought that he had to meet Li Yaxin as soon as possible.
