Chapter 43

When Lan Dong and Old Darren went to country M, no one notified, even Yu Yun just sent a message to her, Lan Dong knew that if she was asked to send it, Yu Yun would definitely cry again, and it would be difficult for Lan Dong to leave if he was soft-hearted

Zhou Xue'er's Lan Dong didn't even send a message, Lan Dong even thought that it was best not to meet each other in this life, Lan Dong was also afraid that Zhou Xue'er would fall deeper and deeper into herself, and when the time came, there would be no more tragedy of Zhu Cong, then no one would be able to stand it

Lan Dong wanted to leave quietly, but Old Darren still made a phone call to Zhou Mingyuan, and Zhou Xue'er happened to be by his side at that time, so Zhou Xue'er heard their conversation word for word

Putting down the TV remote control in her hand, Zhou Xue'er rushed out, she naturally wanted to give Lan Dong a ride, seeing her daughter like this, Zhou Mingyuan hurriedly said, Xiaoxue, why are you going, Xiaoxue, she didn't look back and didn't answer, Zhou Xue'er went out without looking back, and pushed out her electric car in the garage, and went to the airport crookedly, fortunately, there is only one airport in this city, and Zhou Xue'er will not get lost

Forget it, let her go, there is already a jumper, do you still want Xiaoxue to be like that, Zhou Mingyuan had no choice but to sit down when he heard his wife's words, but when he saw Zhou Xue'er ignoring him and running out, he was still angry, and said to Li Laiyun on the other hand, this child is spoiled by you

Li Laiyun was not happy when she heard this, oh, now blame me, why did you go earlier, after saying that, Li Laiyun put her hand on it and pinned her face to the side

I went to smoke a cigarette, saying that Zhou Mingyuan went to the balcony, in fact, his smoking was fake, but in fact, he still cared about Zhou Xueer, as soon as he held a cigarette in his hand, he saw Zhou Xueer riding an electric car and walked crookedly

I don't know when Li Laiyun has come to Zhou Mingyuan's side, okay, don't look at it, Xiaoxue is not a child anymore, she is measured, but, but, Zhou Mingyuan said, don't be, I know you want to say, Xiaoxue is not skilled in riding an electric car, if she talks to herself, she will send her

Zhou Mingyuan finally lit a cigarette, took a puff and didn't say anything, just gave Li Laiyun a thumbs up, and turned to look out the window, who do you say this girl is with, I wasn't so impulsive back then, it must be with you, and you took the initiative back then, saying that Li Laiyun hit Zhou Mingyuan with her elbow

Zhou Mingyuan put down the flue, hey, why just follow me, you dare to say that you didn't have a crush on me back then, you must have a crush on me, it must have been your initiative, and the crush is a mental activity, but you walked in front of me first...

When Zhou Xueer arrived at the airport, there happened to be a plane taking off, and the huge roar attracted Zhou Xueer's attention, looking up at the plane gradually flying higher, through the clouds, the fuselage slowly became smaller, Zhou Xueer's heart became empty all of a sudden, she was like a piece of her heart was suddenly poached, until the plane was out of sight, Zhou Xueer rode back on an electric car in despair

Yu Yun looked at the message Lan Dong gave herself on her phone, and she didn't complain about Lan Dong's farewell, because this kind of departure is actually the best, if he goes, it will make him reluctant, the so-called gentle township, it turned out to be a hero's mound, that is, he wants to be his own hero, then he will quietly wait at home for him to ride the colorful auspicious clouds to marry himself

Bai Hongmei looked at a plane flying in the sky, and couldn't help but say to herself, Xiaodong, is it you? If it were you, then my mother would wish you a smooth journey and a safe journey, you can rest assured that I will take care of Teacher Yu, and I will definitely return you a white and chubby daughter-in-law when the time comes

On the plane, Old Darren asked, Xiaodong, why don't you let your family come to send it, I saw that there are many people at the airport who have family members to send it, I don't want to see them crying, I like to see them laughing, and Lan Dong looked out the window as he spoke

It was the first time for Lan Dong to go to such a far place alone, and he used to complain that his mother and he got together less and left more, but he didn't think that he would be separated from her for so long this time

Lan Dong looked at the city that took off again, and said silently in his heart, Xiaoyuer is waiting for me to come back, and my mother is waiting for me to return

The plane lasted for more than ten hours, and now finally landed safely, the old Darren led Lan Dong back to his home, sat still for a long time, both of them had some back pain, as soon as he returned home, the old Darren said to Lan Dong, there is a bathroom upstairs, go take a shower, there is a room upstairs, take a beautiful sleep after taking a shower, what is going on tomorrow, after saying that, Old Darren himself also entered the bathroom on the first floor

Lan Dong didn't say politely to Old Darren, went up to the second floor with his luggage, took out a change of clothes from the suitcase, turned around and went into the bathroom

Fifteen minutes later, Lan Dong came out of the bathroom again, wiped his hair with a towel, and returned to the room, now it is still night here, open the white curtains, it is dark outside, there are few places where the lights are on, there are few people and cars on the street, only the stars in the sky have not yet slept, and they are still looking at those who refuse to fall asleep with their eyes open, Lan Dong took another look, the bright moon in the middle of the sky, it doesn't feel more round than when I look at it in China, why do so many people like to run here, Lan Dong shook his head, a little puzzled

Lying on the bed, Lan Dong sent another message to Yu Yun to report that he was safe, Yu Yun didn't reply to him immediately, Lan Dong put down the phone, thinking that maybe he was reading a book again, but he didn't hear the phone ringing, or the phone was not around at all, thinking about Lan Dong, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep after a while

When Lan Dong woke up, it was already noon the next day, and Lan Dong went to look at his phone for the first time, at this time Yu Yun had already sent him a message back, asking him to take care of himself here, and he didn't have to worry about him in China, not to mention that his mother took care of himself, Lan Dong replied to Yu Yun a few messages, and then went downstairs

When I went downstairs, I found that Old Darren had prepared a sumptuous lunch for Lan Dong, and when he woke up, Old Darren said, Well, I overslept a little, Lan Dong scratched his head a little embarrassed, it's okay, young people can always sleep a little longer, unlike old men like us, who can't sleep even if they want to

Come, sit down, old Darren invited Lan Dong to sit down again, I'm afraid that you just came to eat the food on our side, it just so happened that there was a Chinatown on my side, so I went there to buy a little food, I don't know how to do it, I haven't done it for a long time

There are several common home-cooked dishes on the table, there are eggplants, tomatoes, and a plate of coriander, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long, eat quickly, old Darren said, Lan Dong is not polite when he hears this, he didn't eat anything on the plane, and he slept for so long after getting off the plane, and now Lan Dong's stomach is already empty, not waiting for old Darren to say that Lan Dong's stomach has already sung about the empty city, but because of politeness, Lan Dong didn't put down the chopsticks, and now that Old Darren has already started, then Lan Dong will be polite to him

Pick up a piece of tomato and put it in your mouth, the tomato was sprinkled with some sugar, the entrance felt good, Lan Dong took another piece of eggplant, this time Lan Dong only took a bite, Zou frowned, put too much salt, salty, too salty, but in the end Lan Dong still ate it, while eating Lan Dong and thought, I have long heard that the American food culture is a desert, it seems that it is really so, it seems that if you want to eat authentic Chinese food in the future, you can only do it yourself

Old Darren not only cooked, but also thoughtfully cooked rice for Lan Dong, but after Lan Dong took a bite, he almost didn't spit it out directly, the rice was cooked half-baked, it was really hard to swallow, and finally Lan Dong had to eat the plate of raw tomatoes, all as if he were eating a plate of fruit salad

Although Lan Dong already thought that he had covered it up well, he was still seen through by Old Darren, oops, it seems that my craft is still not at home, it seems that I still have to practice in the future

Lan Dong said busily when he heard this, he really didn't want to eat the half-cooked rice, the teacher has a saying in our China, follow the local customs, which means that we will eat whatever there is in the host's house, and we don't need to press the row politely

Lan Dong thought to himself that even if it was bread KFC every day in the future, it would be better than eating this half-cooked rice, looking at Lan Dong's face as if life was worse than death, old Darren said again, Aren't I afraid that you won't be used to eating it, it's okay, I'm not a picky eater, Lan Dong said against his will

After the two had a not very pleasant meal, Old Darren drove Lan Dong to his studio, saying that it was a studio, but it was more appropriate to say that it was a warehouse, the studio was divided into two floors, the upper floor was the finished product exhibition area, and the lower floor was some semi-finished products, and some equipment

Lan Dong's first feeling as soon as he came in was that this was not a studio for a master photographer, but more like a studio for film shooting, but as Lan Dong's eyes moved, his mouth was also opening little by little, and he finally knew why Old Darren was a palace-level existence in the photography industry

The rows of new cameras on the shelves, and their respective professional cameras that specialize in shooting a certain type, are the so-called tools that must be sharpened before they want to do a good job, and the old Darren has really put this sentence into practice

At this time, the old Darren also walked to Lan Dong's side, go, I'll take you around, well, Lan Dong agreed to follow behind the old Darren, here are some of my early works, at that time I didn't have much money, so there was no good equipment, so the shooting was not very good, but for me now, the memory is more significant than anything else, it has witnessed my growth all the way, if there is no original persistence, there will be no me today

Well, while listening to the lecture, Lan Dong took out one from time to time to take a closer look, indeed these photos are not very good, and they can even be said to be rough, and the clarity is not as good as that taken by the current mobile phone

Lan Dong put down the photos in his hand and went to get another one, these were taken when I was middle-aged, and the photography technology at that time had improved, of course, it could not be compared with the current professional camera, old Darren Dao
