29, the tulips bloomed
(The storyline is completely fictional, the official must not sit in the right seat, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence)
The early summer season in Oxford is the most beautiful time, at 28 Highry Road, in the backyard, there is a circle of tulips, and the flowers are blooming just right.
Mr. Chan said that planting tulips and daffodils in circles in gardens and meadows was the first favorite habit of English gardeners, and their daffodils, when they bloom in spring, are full of yellow wreaths in the garden and meadow. In early summer, it is replaced by tulip wreaths. Later, Mr. Bai said that there is also a saying that this planting method was learned by an English gardener following a Dutch gardener. Who is the ancestor in the end, no one has ever researched, anyway, this kind of planting method of daffodils and tulips, circle by circle, is really beautiful when it blooms.
Jing Hao went to school with his schoolbag, and the campus was also full of tulip wreaths, and it was full of the smell of hormones and bookish gas mixed - I saw vigorous male and female students from all over the world, male and female students of all colors, some lying on the grass, some sitting in the college café, and some walking together on the campus and sitting in the library. Although the weather was still a little cool in the morning and evening, many people put on summer clothes at noon.
Corn Market Street in the heart of Oxford City is also bustling with activity: a few street artists, one singing opera, one playing guitar, and one chalk drawing on the concrete floor of the street. From time to time, people passing by put a few pounds of coins in their piano boxes and small baskets.
In the morning, she went to school in the afternoon, went to the city center to buy things, and in the evening, she stayed up all night to study, and the clock on the wall was two o'clock, so she lay down and tossed and turned, probably because of the reason for drinking black tea and staying up late at night, and she had insomnia.
She remembered what Harry had said, "30 years old life has just begun", and Harry asked her if she wanted to stay and apply for a PhD. She remembered Chen Dongliang and his colleagues on the other end of the video, and saw the picture of Rong Shengli entering their office and bowing his head.
She really couldn't sleep, so she had to tiptoe downstairs softly, originally wanting to drink water, but saw a half-bottle of red wine on the wooden table in the kitchen and dining room, guessing that it was Mr. Chen's. She tried it, and the cork wasn't tight. Thinking that drinking some red wine would probably speed up her sleep, she poured half a glass, drank it all in the restaurant, then rinsed her mouth with the water from the faucet, and drank a few more sips directly - the water from the British faucet can be drunk directly, but the water is a little cold in the middle of the night. She wiped her mouth and went back to her room.
Mr. Chen happened to go to the bathroom and met Jing Hao coming out of the kitchen at the top of the stairs, with the smell of alcohol. Mr. Chen was curious, and also went downstairs into the kitchen, observed a residual wine red in the sink, and then looked at the bottle of wine on the table, which was obviously missing, so he concluded that the girl who had never drunk alcohol secretly drank red wine in the early morning! What's going on?
Mr. Chen was a warm-hearted, kind-hearted person, and he also liked to be nosy, so he turned around and went out to chase him to the stairs on the second floor, and asked the girl, "Girl, is there too much pressure on homework?" Or did something go wrong? Why did you drink in the middle of the night? ”
Jing Hao motioned to Mr. Chen to be quiet, and opened his mouth, and the smell of wine was still coming out of his throat. She prevaricated a few words lightly, saying: "I can't sleep, I do my homework too late at night, I can't sleep after lying down for a while, I may fall asleep quickly after a few sips of wine anesthesia, I'm sorry, it's your bar at the table?" I poured a large part, half a cup. ”
Mr. Chen enlightened and said, "It's okay to drink some wine from me, I'm curious about how you drink in the middle of the night." Li Tianying once had a paper of nearly 10,000 words, which was submitted and revised four or five times before it was passed. They didn't stay up late or drink! ”
Jing Hao nodded and said, "I really shouldn't stay up late." ”
Mr. Chen, who is not highly educated, said quite poetic words: "Girl, life is very long, the world is very big, you don't have to be discouraged by a temporary failure or unsmoothness, you should look at the long-term scenery, you don't stay up late, and the other one, you must not rely on drinking to fall asleep......"
This sincere words of encouragement moved Jing Hao: "Thank you, I never do this, just this time, I won't go to bed late in the future." Hurry up and rest. ”
The next morning, I was woken up by the alarm clock, went downstairs for breakfast, and met Mr. Chen again.
Mr. Chen told her about last night: "Staying up late is not good for your health!" ”
Jing Hao hurriedly said: "It's true, it's too late to sleep, and I'm very tired when I get up this morning, and my head has been groggy." ”
Mr. Chen said: "No matter how late you are, you should go to bed before 12 o'clock, get up at 7:30 in the morning, and strive to study in the morning!" ”
Jing Hao said: "Hey, isn't this also that I feel quiet at night, and I've been doing it since I learned it." I have a little paper deadline that is approaching and I want to get it out quickly. ”
Mr. Chen said: "I watched Li Tianying come all the way, I don't know yet, you people, it is indeed not easy to study and get a degree." ”
Jing Hao said: "Yes, it's too hard to study, I sometimes regret getting this degree, it's good to get a training course, while playing, while learning, you can also travel around, it's too hard to get a degree!" ”
Mr. Chen smiled and said, "But it's better to take a degree, you run so far and spend so much money, if you don't go back with a degree, you won't be able to explain it to yourself and your parents." You plan the time in the future, don't worry, don't stay up late in the future, no problem. ”
Jing Hao sighed and said, "Seriously, sometimes it's really too bitter. I was completely self-defeating. ”
Mr. Chen said: "Okay, quiet, in this world, we are already very lucky!" Look at the families of those passengers who crashed the Malaysia Airlines flight, did it happen on March 8 last year, it's been more than a year, I don't know what's going on, and today there is another news ......"
Jing Hao said: "Did you find any clues again?" ”
Mr. Chen's laptop was placed in the corner of the dining table, the picture flickered, and the sound of the news broadcast came, which was supposed to be the family of a wrecked passenger crying: "We only want people, we only want people, regardless of life and death, we want to see people......
Jing Hao said: "They are really flying in trouble, but this matter is too far away from us, so it is difficult to empathize with their pain." ”
Mr. Chen said: "I used to always think that these things could only be seen in the news, and had nothing to do with me, but yesterday your sweet sister called and said that the brother of one of her old classmates was on this flight, and she just found out." ”
Jing Hao was surprised: "Really? Is there really someone you know on this flight? ”
Mr. Chen said: "Li Tianying said that their family was almost completely collapsed. After listening to this, I suddenly felt that peace is the most important thing, and everything else is a trivial matter. ”
Jing Hao nodded and said, "It's true." ”
Mr. Chen said: "We should all cherish life and live happily, so I now also have Li Tianying to go back to start a business, fully understand, although I actually still disagree, but, no matter whether she loses all in the future, or becomes an entrepreneurial star, billionaire woman, I don't care, as long as she lives happily, she feels that she has fun, anyway, people are like this for a lifetime, if there is anything that you want to do and can't do it, she feels uncomfortable, she tries it, she can't do it, she doesn't regret it......"
It's good to hear, the heart is touched, and the thought is thoughtful.
Mrs. Chen's "great cause" in China seems to be much smoother, and she is growing and growing little by little, and her confidence is also sufficient.
Mrs. Chen said: "You, when you come back, you will know how big the domestic development space is and how big the market is!" ”
Although Mr. Chen said to Jing Hao that he fully understood Mrs. Chen's return to start a business, he still had many worries in his bones. He was worried that his wife would not be able to return to China at the beginning, and gradually became worried that her company's loans would snowball.
Mr. Chen said: "Li Tianying, I now make a statement, I fully support you to go back to start a business, create success and failure, I accept it, as long as you feel that your value has been realized." However, I don't think you should be too bold, I have been thinking about one thing these days, people let you be a legal person, you will be a legal person? ”
Li Tianying said: "What's wrong with being a legal person? ”
Mr. Chen said, "What's the matter, don't you have to take responsibility?" What should you do if you can't repay the 30 million loan? ”
Li Tianying smiled: "Limited liability company, what are you worried about." ”
Mr. Chen said, "Then you have to take the corresponding responsibility." Besides, those major investors, why didn't any of them come out to take the lead in this legal person? ”
Li Tianying said: "Okay, okay, don't worry." It's good for you to come back with me early and do us some office work, we haven't found a particularly suitable person until now, and we have always been a vice president and office director. ”
Mr. Chen said: "I can do it as the director of the office, before we went abroad, I was in our state-owned enterprise, wasn't I the deputy director of the office, and I was very familiar with that little thing." ”
Li Tianying said: "The environment is completely different from the previous one, but I think you can adapt to it and be competent." In that prosperous world, don't you think about coming back soon? We can't wait for you in this position, with the right person, you won't have a chance. ”
Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I said, you are also a middle-aged woman, don't do something, you are as anxious as "burning your stomach", haven't we made an appointment for two years?" On your side, the industry is created first, and I am here to earn this little money first, and when your side is really stable, we will reunite and seize the time to have children, this is the top priority, and if it drags on, it will not be able to give birth if you want to. ”
Mrs. Chen disagreed, and said: "What era is it, it's not easy to have a child, I myself am engaged in biological research, I want to say, even if I wait until 46 to regenerate, it is not too late, when the time comes, there will be a "one-egg twin" or "dizygotic twins", and we will have two at once." ”
This touched Mr. Chen's sensitive nerves, he got angry and said: "Why are you so unreliable, when you are 46, I will be 49, some people are 49 grandfathers, this is not like running on a big playground, all of them are called "laps"! ”
Li Tianying said: "Oh, I just said it casually, and I didn't really have to be 46 to be born." ”
Mr. Chen yelled into the phone: "You are such a smart person, are you confused about this matter? Why didn't you give birth when you were young, and you haven't given birth until now, and if you don't hurry up, it's too late for energy and physical strength, you still have to give birth to two at 46, what kind of international jokes are you making, will you have the strength to take care of the child when the time comes? It's really 46, you're starting menopause, why don't you wait until 64 to regenerate? ”
Mrs. Chen was embarrassed and comforted Mr. Chen: "Shengshi, don't worry."
Mr. Chen's face was as pale as a pig's liver: "I'm not in a hurry, how can I not be in a hurry?" Li Tianying, how can I not be in a hurry? After speaking, he cut off the call with a stomach full of anger, and said to himself: "How did you find such a wife!" ”
