37, homesick

(The storyline is completely fictional, the official must not sit in the right seat, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence)

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Jing Hao helped Li Ruoshi to take the bus back to No. 28 Haydry Road, Mr. Chen happened to stay in the room for some reason, and when he heard the news, he went downstairs with a small medicine box and helped him apply plasters and bone-setting in the restaurant.

Everyone was surprised that Mr. Chen would do this, Mr. Chen smiled, and said that after he came to the UK ten years ago, in order to make a living, he tried to do almost all the work that he could and dared to do, and even dared to shave people's heads without receiving training......

Teacher Bai sighed: "Xiao Chen'er, you are really not easy, not simple......"

Jing Hao drank a glass of water in the dining room, went upstairs and returned to the room, took out the book that Harry had just given her from her bag, opened it, and saw "To Jing Hao, I wish you no more happiness!" This strange blessing also reminded her again: the birthdays of her mother and Chen Dongliang are coming soon.

She flipped through the WeChat on her mobile phone and sent a video chat to Chen Dongliang.

Jing Hao said: "Chen Dongliang, you and my mother's birthdays are coming soon. ”

Chen Dongliang said: "Yes, it's really fast, year after year." I don't want a birthday present, so please go buy something for me, and I'll give you money when I get back. ”

Jing Hao said, "Do you want to buy that kind of thing again?" ”

Chen Dongliang said: "The last time I asked you to buy two things in a famous brand store in London, our director Rong Shengli was very satisfied, the price of the two things combined, he said that it is not much more expensive than buying a thing in the same store in China, it is equivalent to making money, let me thank you well, hehe." ”

RECALLING WHAT HARRY SAID AT THE DOOR OF THE BURBERRY STORE, JING HAO SARCASTICALLY SAID TO CHEN DONGLIANG: "IT'S NOT WORTH IT IF IT'S CHEAPER THAN IN CHINA, PEOPLE BRITISH PEOPLE DON'T BUY THOSE THINGS, IT'S Chinese LIKE YOU AND THOSE MIDDLE EASTERNERS WHO LIKE THESE, THE DAY I WENT, THE LV AND BURBERRY STORES WERE FULL OF CHINESE CUSTOMERS." I think people are afraid that they have made our money, and they are still laughing at us in their hearts, 'people are stupid and have a lot of money, and they are turtles'! ”

Chen Dongliang said: "We are not stupid, the same thing is cheaper and older than in China, why don't we buy it?" We are 'dirty and fine' at best! You can help me buy a men's belt at the LV store. ”

Jing Hao was puzzled and asked, "Belt?" The big logo is so obvious, you don't dislike vulgarity? In the TV series, it's either corrupt officials or nouveau riche who use this thing! ”

Chen Dongliang said: "Hey, I don't need it myself, I want to give it to our director and contact our feelings." ”

Jing Hao said: "Even if it is cheaper than in China, it is at least more than 5,000 yuan, is it necessary?" ”

Chen Dongliang said: "It is because of 5,000 yuan that you bought it, and it is because it is expensive that people think that you are true feelings and hearts." Besides, at least eight thousand in the country! ”

Jing Hao said, "When I go to London again, I'll help you take a look." ”

Chen Dongliang said: "Okay. Hey, is it the angle? How do I think you're thin. ”

Jing Hao said: "I seem to have lost a little weight, I don't know why, you look fat, and your face seems to have been a little fat recently." ”

Chen Dongliang didn't care too much: "If you get lucky, you will get lucky, don't forget that I'm also in my thirties, and I'm going to be the director soon, if I'm too thin, it's not good-looking, people will say 'sharp-beaked monkey gills'." ”

Jing Hao said: "You should still exercise more, be more active, age and fat and thin are not directly related, the main thing is to be healthy." ”

Chen Dongliang said: "Okay, I have something to do here, you can be busy with yours." ”

It was nine o'clock in the evening on Chen Dongliang's side, and he was attending a dinner outside, which was deliberately coming out, walking to a small open space outside the hotel, and making a video with Jing. After speaking, he immediately hurried back to the small private room, not to continue drinking, but to apologize and say goodbye to the people at the dinner, because he still had a dinner party waiting for him tonight, and he had to go.

The implementation of the eight-point discipline and the vigorous anti-corruption campaign have led to the fact that gatherings are now held in hidden and inconspicuous places. I saw an old black Passat turn around and enter this high-end villa complex by the sea, and stopped in front of a chic door with the words "Stone Boat Sushi", apparently this is a Japanese restaurant. Director Rong got out of the black Passat, he was also two dinners tonight, and he had just come over.

As soon as Rong Shengli walked into the hotel, Chen Dongliang also arrived. It's a tatami room, and they all take off their shoes at the entrance. The three guests in the room stood up to welcome Rong Shengli and Chen Dongliang.

Rong Shengli said: "Xiao Chen, we are both front and back, and I have just arrived." I couldn't go over there just now, and they didn't let me go. ”

Everyone laughs.

Chen Dongliang hurriedly called the waiter outside the door of the house to pour tea for the director, and then asked the director "Look at what to add", came out and put on his shoes to go to the ordering place to add new dishes......

Rong Shengli gave a thumbs up and praised the other guests: "Look at our Xiao Chen, he will be the director soon, not only is he not proud of his tail, but his work is more in place!" ”

Several guests seemed to be old friends, familiar with Rong Shengli and Chen Dongliang, and when Chen Dongliang came back from ordering, he immediately raised his glass to celebrate "Xiao Chen Gaosheng" and talked about the wine......

Put down the phone, for some reason, Jinghao suddenly missed her parents, and even missed Chen Dongliang a little, sat down to study, flip books, and write homework, but she was not at ease, and went downstairs to make a cup of hot chocolate and served it to drink, but she still couldn't sit still.

She simply changed into a set of sportswear and sneakers and went for a run......

Run all the way through the Ranch, Stone Road, Wooden Bridge, South Park, Broad Street, High Street, Masting Road...... When she got tired of running, she stopped and walked for a while to take pictures of the street scene......

The scenery along the way is picturesque, just take a picture so casually, and each one can be used as a postcard.

Living here every day, such a beautiful environment, but still have a clear feeling of being in a foreign land. Of course, it's good here, but when you leave, you will miss the old days very much, but it's good to return, and it's still a foreign land. Jinghao has no intention of "staying", she has always planned to return to China after finishing her studies and return to her own city. But now, for some reason, she has a growing attachment to the city of Oxford.

The sky of Oxford was high and clear, and the sword of daylight pierced through the clouds, and gradually the sun turned westward, and then into evening, and then into night. In the dark blue night, in a bar on the street in the center of Oxford, Jing Hao and Mayo are drinking a little wine together.

It's really rare that both of them are wearing small dress-like clothes, and the weather is already quite cold, but they are still wearing open-toed sandals with big high heels, revealing bright red and shiny toenails. That's how the local girls in Oxford go to the pub and party, and they learn from them.

The other male and female students in the bar, whether from Asia, the Middle East, or the United States, were the same, either dressed in fancy clothes or like dresses, as if they were not the same people who were serious and plainly dressed in the streets and classrooms during the day. They were catharsis and nonsense in the bar, twisting their waists and swinging their hips one by one, and suddenly one of them came over, hugged one of them, and poured wine directly on his head, the man immediately had his hair close to his face, and his chin dripped, he wiped his face and immediately retaliated back, and the man's chin was also dripping, and a group of people around him laughed...... Probably too tired from studying during the day, these people run to the bar at night to let loose and release their stress.

In the bright lights, Jing Hao drank a little more, and told Mayo about his troubles: "Mayo, I suddenly feel homesick, I miss my parents very much, I miss my parents very much. ”

Mayo said, "You, you'll be fine in a day or two." Sometimes it's like this, it's normal. Even my mom and dad are in Paris, so close, I sometimes miss them. ”

Jing Hao said again: "Also, how do I feel that my old classmate, or boyfriend, has changed, becoming like another person, a person I don't know, of course, it may also be my problem, I used to think he was A, but he has always been B, my problem......"

Mayo smiled and said, "You, it's good to have a boyfriend, don't complain so much, look at me, I like someone, people won't even pay attention to me." ”

Jing Hao asked, "Really?" Briton? ”

Mayo nodded: "Yes, British. ”

Jing Hao said: "British men are really unpredictable......"

Mayo said, "Have you ever had a British boyfriend too?" ”

Jing Hao hurriedly said: "No, I just read novels and movies, and I think they are too thoughtful and difficult to socialize." ”

Mayo said: "Yes, I do admire such a person, but he ignores me, and even a little tired of me, in fact, even if he talks to me well, and tells me tactfully that he doesn't like my type, I will be happy to accept it, but he is very cold and avoids me." I'm so distressed, who can understand my state of mind? ”

Jing Hao joked in English to open Mayo: "Maybe the moon understands your heart best." ”

Mayo had probably never heard of this phrase, and repeatedly asked Jing Hao, "Why ......?"

Jing Hao told her: "Because you can talk to the moon about all your own things, talk about your heart, and of course it knows you best." ”

Outside the bar window, in the night sky of Oxford, there is really a big and round moon, the moonlight sprinkles in the alley of the pub, there are orange street lamps, yellow stone walls, roofs from a hundred years ago, small lattice wooden windows, stone steps, gravel roads, like an old oil painting.

Under the same big moon, Harry was bathing in the bathroom of his house with a lotus shower head at this time, his figure was already the figure of a middle-aged man, but the pectoral muscles were still there, although the six-pack abs were not obvious, but they were still looming, but probably there were few opportunities to bask in the sun in this area, and the skin was too white, not the bronze of the fashionable rich. At this age, there are still a few abs and pecs, thanks to Harry's boys' school life since he was 12 years old, with four hours of physical activity and activity every day.

Thin strings of water slid from Harry's forehead to his neck, landed on his shiny shoulders, and from his back down his firm skin to his waist, and he shook his hair, the brown blonde hair, and with a flick, there were many spots of light in the light, which were small droplets of water, like light, sprinkled on every corner of the shower curtain. Caucasians are especially old, and Harry is no exception, his face is no longer young, folded one after another. However, looking at it from the back alone, his figure is still very tight and has a mature beauty.

An image popped into Harry's mind: a thin figure in the shower curtain, flushing with this shower head, and he could only see her back. Her back was thin and had a distinct line that was sunken, and her shoulder blades resembled two small wings......

Harry shook his hair again, and the small droplets of water on the tips of his hair were thrown on the shower curtain, in the bathtub, everywhere, and the light shone on it, and the mist swam in the light and shadow...... Because he suddenly closed his eyes, his face was full of wrinkles and folds, and when he let go, the water that was hidden in the wrinkles dripped down.

In China, Jinghao's parents are walking in a large and spacious shopping mall, the father is carrying a large shopping bag, and the mother is carrying a paper bag, and the two are walking slower than the people around them. A little girl of five or six years old held her father's hand, and the two walked in front of them from behind.

Jinghao's father sighed and said: "Time flies so fast! When Jing Hao is so big, it is right in front of him. ”

Mom smiled: "Really." ”

Dad said again: "Do you remember that she liked to go out shopping with me at that time, and didn't like to be with you, because I was better than you, I buy things unconditionally, and you always have to make requirements with your purchases, hehe......"

Mom said: "I'm embarrassed to say, you are so strict with her in some things, but when it comes to buying things or something, messy and useless, as long as she wants, buy them!" Once she asked for marshmallows, you bought her two, and they finished eating on the way, and as soon as they got home, they had diarrhea, and they couldn't hold it at the door, so they hit the door......"

Dad laughed.

This conversation evoked my father's memories: when I met Jinghao's mother, both of them were teachers in a newly built university, and after being introduced and matched by colleagues, the two began to date. After getting married, at first my mother taught public languages, but later I had children, and in order to take care of the young Jinghao and the sick Jinghao grandfather, it was inconvenient to travel back and forth to several campuses, so I temporarily transferred to the logistics to do administrative work. Jinghao grew up in the kindergarten, cafeteria, and parents' office in the college. At first, the conditions of the school were very difficult in all aspects, especially the transportation, because it was located in the middle of the city and almost on the edge of the city, and it took more than ten minutes to walk to the nearest station...... Jinghao grew up day by day, and her parents also got older little by little.

Jinghao's parents sat down on a wooden chair, and on the large LED screen in the shopping mall opposite, an old English song - You Raise Me Up ("You Inspired Me"), the picture of an old Dutch man wearing a scarf singing this song in the street, passers-by were attracted to the onlookers......

The two sat quietly in wooden chairs and watched this music video clip. The mother said to her father: "I really hope that she will come back soon, be safe and stable, start a family with Chen Dongliang, and be with the whole family, how good!" ”

Her father comforted her and said, "Come on, don't worry. Besides, it's useless if you're in a hurry. ”

The mother whispered: "Actually, I still don't approve of her going to school, how old is she when she comes back......

The father said, "Look at you, you have gone all the way, and she will not be less than 30 when she comes back?" Afraid of what? ”

The mother said, "It's not too late to get married in your thirties?" ”

The father said: "Anyway, she has a boyfriend, so she will be late a little later, and she is not afraid of anything else." ”

The mother said, "What if something else happens?" ”

The father said, "What if? What if? ”

Mother said: "I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid of breaking up, people are easy to say, but how old are we now?" And it's a foreign master's degree, so it's even harder to find......"

The father smiled and said, "Look at what you said, doesn't she study for a master's degree?" Those female doctors don't have to start a family, right? Have you been single all your life? ”

Mom said, "Isn't it very difficult for those female doctors to find a partner!" Do you see that most of the female singles in our school are not because of their high academic qualifications? ”

Dad shook his head: "You, a generation takes care of a generation's own affairs!" Can you manage so much? ”

Mom said, "You, she's our child, we don't care who cares?" ”

Dad said, "You can't take care of the problem!" In case they're going to break up, can you handle that? Besides, they have known each other since they were children and have been dating for seven or eight years, how can it be so easy to break up? ”

Mom said, "Doesn't this happen very often?" ”

Dad laughed at Mom and said, "Why should they break up?" You're really, unfounded......"

I don't know why, Jinghao's mother has always had faint worries recently, but she can't explain the reason to Jinghao's father, and what Jinghao's father said is not unreasonable, but she can't listen to it, and when she hears it, she is still anxious to get angry, and she is angry, who is angry, she is angry, she is angry, she is angry, she is angry, she is stubborn, blindly confident, self-righteous, and angry that neither of them understands her worries.
