Chapter 2 The first taste of joy and sorrow when returning
Sun Han's parents' home, an old commercial housing community, a three-bedroom apartment on the 5th floor of an 11-story small high-rise. The two of them who were already a little anxious at home were waiting. On the one hand, Sun Han's father, who was busy in the kitchen, and on the other hand, Sun Han's mother, who was going back and forth to the kitchen, living room, and hallway, couldn't help the chef very much, so he was left to wait a little anxiously. Finally, Sun Han's mother, who was pacing to the living room, finally heard the doorbell ring. But it was Sun Han's father who walked out in a few big steps, and almost with Sun Han's mother, he opened the door downstairs and waited at the door...... It was just 1-2 minutes of waiting, and finally I was looking forward to the familiar knock on the door that I hadn't seen for a long time.
Along with the opening of the door, there is also Sun Han's father and mother who keep "welcome, welcome, welcome... Oops, Lan Lan is here, come in, come in. Sun Han took the coat that Zhang Lan had taken off, and while hanging it on the shelf, he saw that Zhang Lan had been pulled into the living room by his mother and sat down directly. I had to mumble and say to my mother: "Mom, I pulled the wrong daughter, hey, Sister Lan Lan is still charming." As he spoke, he came into the living room and wanted to sit down. But her mother shouted with a smile: "Lan Lan is a guest, you hurry up and help your father, your father is still in the kitchen." Hurry, hurry, hurry. I asked for help with the food. Zhang Lan next to him also smiled and gently pushed Sun Han, Sun Han had no choice but to continue muttering and dragging a long voice "Okay, good", and turned around and went into the kitchen.
At the dinner table, water was used instead of wine, and the four of them sat around, and the food was current, talking about the days of Australia and the new chapter of returning to China...... It was only less than 19 o'clock after the meal, and under the double nagging of Sun Han's mother and Sun Han, it was still a weekend anyway, so Zhang Lan simply stayed in Tianjin tonight. continued to chat with Sun Han's parents for a while, then got up to say goodbye and went to Sun Han's own home. Actually, it's the 9th floor in the same building, so it's very close.
Sun Han asked while opening the door: "Last time you returned to China, you also went to my parents' side, right?" Haven't you seen it here? Zhang Lan followed closely and replied as she entered the door: "Yes, I just bought it last time, and you said that the decoration was too messy, so I didn't come up to see it." "It's a one-bedroom apartment that's been renovated in a Scandinavian style, square and airy. Looking around the room, the spacious living room is connected to the balcony, the bedroom with a sunny sun is in the middle of a double bed, and there is a super large Shar Pei dog lying on the bed, the kitchen is almost brand new, and the bathroom is separated...... At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door, interrupting the two people who were chatting while looking at the pattern, it turned out that the beer that Sun Han had just ordered had arrived.
At the beginning of April, it was not too cold in the evening, and the breeze was gentle. The balcony on the 9th floor is not too high, but it is enough to overlook a brightly lit area, especially the river scenery not far away, and the high and low buildings on both sides of the Hejin River, inlaid with decorative light rings, exude different colors of bright or dark poke light. Sun Han opened a can of beer and handed it over, saying, "You still have to drive tomorrow, just this one." The two of them touched the beer, and each of them took a big sip, which was cool, and it seemed that they were suddenly a little upset. Sun Han took another big sip and said to himself: "I seem to have regretted it a little suddenly", although with three points of laughter, but also with seven points of sincerity and even helplessness, and maybe a trace of helplessness. As if talking to himself, Sun Han continued, "I stayed for 12 years, you stayed for 14 years, Lan Lan, have you ever regretted returning to China?" ”
Zhang Lan still looked into the distance and said slowly: "I may have always been more obedient, my parents let me go abroad, and my parents let me go back to China." Not adaptable, quite a lot, regret, sometimes, but since I came back for 1 year, I have to change myself to run in, to accept, sometimes I am too exceptional, I don't fit in, domestic, not social is really not good, especially in my company's environment, you know, listed group, big business, although I am in one of the subsidiaries, but still a little old, I know that some people don't like to always travel, I am quite lucky, always need to run around, in the company is not much time, On the contrary, it made me less depressed. To be honest, although I was also doing education in Australia, the subdivision direction was different, but my parents felt that K12 education and training were flourishing, and now they are doing it, which is quite challenging. ”
Taking a sip, Zhang Lan continued: "Actually, I really didn't expect you to come back. We just met that time, you actually transferred from Mo University to Ta University, and you are brave enough, how can you turn into an obedient baby and return to China like this? ”
Sun Han said half-jokingly: "Aren't I following Sister Lanlan's steps, hahaha." After pouring another big sip of wine, Sun Han's expression changed a little, and he continued: "I was a little angry when I went abroad, I could have gone to a better university, but I was not allowed to go to other places, so I simply went abroad after college." To be honest, I didn't expect that I was going to fight for permanent residence in just half a year, and the policy of that formation, the transfer of Mexico University to Tada University was also a suitable choice, and there were bonus points in remote areas. We've been here for too many years, and we're really used to too many habits, and maybe when we come back, I can also expect that there will be a lot of discomfort, let's take it one step at a time. In fact, I decided to come back, on the one hand, because my parents made it clear that they would never go to Australia for permanent residence, and in a few years, it may be difficult for the elderly to apply for visas, and they can't stay in a foreign country like this all the time. On the other hand, I have also checked the development status of the domestic education industry, including the direction of quality education, research and camp, I think the prospects are also very good, and development is still the most important, which can be regarded as deepening my intention to return to China. ”
Zhang Lan smiled and said to Sun Han: "You have really been so rational and independent", as she spoke, she reached out and smoothed Sun Han's wind-blown hair, raised her eyebrows, and continued to ask with a smile: "By the way, is Alex back?" Sun Han pretended to block Zhang Lan's hand, almost smiled and bent his eyes, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" I accompany my parents and you, how can I pay attention to him. As he spoke, he went to get his mobile phone, and he really pretended to take a closer look, then handed the mobile phone screen directly to Zhang Lan's eyes, and said, "Just this line of expressions, like a riddle." ”
Zhang Lan looked over, and the expressions on the screen were all different smiles. I can't help but ask: "This? What is this? "Who knows", Sun Han turned his phone over, and continued: "Forget it, he will also take a step at a time." When he went to the United States from Australia, it was he who broke up, and now that they are all in China, let's see... Your family Ke
How's it going? Zhang Lan patted Sun Han, pursed his lips, and said, "I've been back for 1 year, and he hasn't come back 1 time, what else can I do?" In the second half of the year, he said that he would find a chance to come back in the second half of the year. I can't take care of him, and I'm so busy with work. ”
As if remembering something, Zhang Lan continued: "By the way, speaking of work, our group has also set up a new subsidiary to do research and camp education, have you started to recruit people or any progress, or let me ask, do you consider Chengdu?" Or have you decided to go to Shanghai? ”
Sun Han took the initiative to touch the beer lightly and said, "Actually, these 3 offe."
Just three types are exactly three places, too, and it's quite a coincidence. Shanghai is a foreign company, Beijing is a start-up, and Hangzhou is a mature group start-up. I should go to Shanghai, you also said that there are a lot of uncomfortable places to come back, I also want to have a relaxation space at least in the past two years, the foreign company headquarters in Australia, also 7-8 years, this time is a new branch in China, the vice president of Australia also said at the end, there will be a lot of training at the beginning, in addition to local recruitment, there will also be employees from various countries sent to assist first, so I think this more diversified environment, in fact, is similar to when in Australia, even if it is to give yourself a buffer period. Hearing that the logic of Sun Han's analysis was in order, Zhang Lan couldn't help but nod yes.
...... Just drinking and talking...... Under the bright lights of the city, a few sparse stars can still be seen in the sky in the distance, a good scene of "a hook of the waning moon with three stars outside the sky".
The next day, early Sunday morning, is the moment of food after sleeping until you wake up naturally. Following the aroma of mung bean flour pancakes and pure soy milk, Zhang Lan got up and saw Sun Han who was already preparing in the kitchen. In addition to the steaming food, extra Sun Han also cut a few kinds of fruits and was plating. accompanied by a joke: "You also got up too early, right?" Seeing that Zhang Lan was coming, Sun Han immediately went around the table, pulled Zhang Lan, sat her down, and said, "Lan Lan, of course I have to treat you, who said anything about renting a car from afar yesterday, you have to go back in a while, and you should accompany me to have a good meal for breakfast." ”
In teasing and laughing, Meimei enjoyed breakfast, the two chatted for a while, Zhang Lan saw that the time was about the same, and she was about to hurry back, and when she went out, she didn't forget to ask: "Sun Han, do you want to go back to your uncle and aunt?" Sun Han locked the door and replied directly: "It's okay, they're all so familiar, they are probably walking outside at this point, you are also very tight at this time, it's okay, hurry up and get the car." ”
Downstairs, before getting in the car, there was a big long hug, too much reluctance, although they all returned to China, but after all, they were not in a city, and the next time they met, I don't know when it was. Until Zhang Lan's car drove a long way out, Sun Han did not go upstairs to go home, but walked out of the gate of the community, rode a shared bicycle, and rode on the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar street, surrounding the neighborhood.
Riding a bicycle past the Sky Tower in the lake, and then going all the way, almost to the side of the water park, I found the sign of Gao Leya, which is another memory associated with Australia. suddenly remembered what Zhang Lan had said too many times: "Of course you have to take pictures, photos are all memories." "Maybe it's really that after getting too familiar with each other, slowly a lot of habits are similar, while thinking, Sun Han also parked the car, took out his mobile phone and took a steady picture of Gao Leya's door, WeChat sent it to Zhang Lan, and added an extra sentence: Bring you next time.
This Gao Leya coffee was originally a flagship store, with a large scale and comfortable decoration, so I found a quiet place to sit down, quietly sipping Aobai, and the push information from the recruitment website came. It turned out that the headhunter pushed the new position, plus WeChat, and saw JD, which turned out to be the group where Zhang Lan worked, and it was probably the newly established subsidiary mentioned by Zhang Lan. briefly introduced his situation, and also truthfully fed back his current state, the headhunter is still very positive, and he also made an appointment for voice communication in the afternoon. For Sun Han, one more opportunity is only one more choice, not to mention that he is applying for a middle and senior position, and it is of course a good thing to have the opportunity to have more contact with company bosses with different backgrounds.
continued to sip coffee, swiped WeChat, and clicked on Alex's dialog box, I can't tell what the mood is or even a little naughty, and I also put on a series of expressions, all kinds, and finally ended with a question emoji, and sent it out. This time, it turned out to be a second back.
