Chapter 16: Wishes

Xing Hongming also couldn't help it, and hugged her tightly again.

They went on like this for a long time, leaving everything they had to do behind.

"Brother, let's get married, and we can be together in the future."

"Girl, have you thought about it?"

"Well, you should know why I chose to come here to set up a Confucius Institute in the first place."

His nose was sour, and his eyes were filled with tears. A scene from a year ago is presented in front of me again-

At the international airport, he was anxiously waiting in a suit and leather shoes, and his mood was full of complicated feelings. A civilian airliner flying from the motherland landed slowly.

A beautiful girl in an azure dress followed the other passengers down the gangway. She is Jiang Wanrong, who is actually a mother in her early forties. But she dressed up very carefully, as if she deliberately put on makeup, making her youth seem to return to twenty years ago. Clearly, she knew who she would face as soon as she stepped into this strange land.

He and she finally met where they could meet, and they froze a few meters away, and their eyes were amazed, moved, and joyful.

He breathed hard and took the lead in breaking the silence: "Rong Rong... There you are? ”

Her beautiful eyes glistened with faint tears, and she was so excited that she couldn't say a word, so she had to nod her head slightly. At this time, her emotions have accumulated to the highest point, and she urgently needs to release it at once, but in this crowded announcement occasion, she must maintain the restraint and subtlety of an oriental woman.

He stared at her beautiful face, unable to be reserved any longer, and sighed heartily: "Rong Rong, you are so beautiful!" ”

"Really?"

"Well, you're pretty much the same as you were twenty years ago."

She sighed gloomily: "If we could go back in time, it would be nice to go back to twenty years ago!" ”

He barely suppressed the surging in his heart, slowly approached her, and took the handle of the suitcase from her small hand.

When their bodies touched slightly, she couldn't help but bury her pretty face in his shoulder socket.

His eyes were blurry, and his brain seemed to be short-circuited, and it was a mess. This is the first time they have met after more than 20 years. Time flies, the stars change, but his love for her remains the same. Now, the girl in his heart has finally come to his side, and they met in a foreign country.

With great excitement, he drove her away from the international airport and drove slowly all the way to the capital.

She sat in the passenger seat, still resting her head on his shoulder, not caring that her actions affected his driving.

In order to keep the car safe, he had to drive slowly and cautiously, and at the same time, in order to enjoy the fragrance emanating from her body more, his expression was full of joy, apprehension, hesitation, and excitement.

"Brother, where are you going to take me?"

"I'm assigned by the organization, of course I'm going to send you to the embassy."

She immediately straightened her position, took her head off his shoulder, and commanded, "Who told you to do this?" Take me to your quarters! ”

He was stunned: "I live in the oil field." It's more than 100 kilometers away. ”

"What about more than 100 kilometers? You're there as soon as you step on the gas. ”

"However, the embassy has learned that you are coming, and has already prepared a banquet for you."

She was very tough: "No, I'll let you pick up the wind and wash the dust for me alone." ”

"Rongrong, don't be willful, you can't let other pigeons go, right?"

"I don't care about this, you can call and explain to others."

"Rong Rong, why are you doing this?"

Her eyes were red: "We have been separated for more than 20 years, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

His nose was sore, and his tears were like floods that opened the floodgates.

He didn't take her to the oil field right away. Because it is not only simple to eat and lodging, but also a man's world. He chose a Chinese restaurant to pick her up. At this moment, their emotions remained calm.

"Brother, after so many years... I'm really sorry for you..." As soon as she spoke, she couldn't control her emotions.

He smiled honestly: "Look at you, you are really a little girl who doesn't grow up, why do you still cry your nose." ”

As soon as his voice fell, his nose was also sour, and he had to turn his face out of the window.

This encounter in a foreign country has a life-changing meaning for both of them.

She wiped her tears and recovered: "I'm sorry, I should be happy." ”

He frowned: "Rong Rong, you really shouldn't come!" ”

She raised her eyebrows: "Don't you want to see me?" ”

"It's not. The situation in the country is complex and can be described as a region of turmoil. ”

"In that case, why are you here?"

"I am reluctant to come, but I must respond to the call of the country."

"I'm not like you, I could have gone to Western Europe, but because this country has something that particularly appeals to me. I took the initiative to ask the organization. ”

"Rong Rong, you will put too much pressure on my mind by doing this."

Her eyes were red: "If I don't come, my mind will be more stressed." ”

He shuddered, and the ripples in his heart set off a stormy wave.

··················

Suddenly, a pungent smell of smoke pulled him back from his memories, and he quickly separated the woman in his arms, and when he turned around, the frying spoon on the stove was already burned.

Three days later, the oil field returned to normal, and the evacuated workers came back one after another, even the hired local black laborers went to work in the oil field.

It was inconvenient for Jiang Wanrong to stay any longer. In fact, she has a lot of things to do in the capital.

Xing Hongming and her have been together for three days and nights, although there is no deep affection, but the former love for each other has already made the two of them inseparable from each other. However, there are still some responsibilities and missions in front of them, which can only make them temporarily put aside their children's personal affairs.

He sent her far away, still reluctant to give up. In the end, I had to say goodbye in tears. In fact, their workplaces are not far apart, only more than two hours by car, and there are a lot of opportunities to see each other.

"Brother, when I finish the preparatory work for the Confucius Institute, we will get married!" She put the sentence aside, drove the car she had driven, and rode away.

He stood alone on the side of the road, looking in the dusty direction, stunned. For her, he spent most of his life single, waiting for her, who was already a wife, and guarding a dream that was almost broken.

He returned to the oil field and watched his men busy again, and his lonely mood was relieved. Of course, the words she left behind also filled him with anticipation. However, a similar scene surfaced in his mind back then-

After that mountain climb and escape, his acceptance letter came down and he was admitted to the Petroleum Institute. He immediately made an appointment with his prospective girlfriend Jiang Wanrong.

Jiang Wanrong was very surprised: "Brother, you have such good grades, why do you want to apply for the Petroleum Institute?" ”

"I want to contribute to the country's energy industry like the iron man did back then."

"But... You can also contribute to the country through other majors. ”

In the end, he had to reveal the truth. It turned out that his parents in his rural hometown were not in good health and could not afford the cost of his college education. In fact, he attended a high school in the city, and his parents and fellow villagers in his hometown pooled money for him. In order to reduce the burden on his family, he had to choose this college. Because it charges low, the package is allocated.

As he tearfully recounted the plight of his family, her head rested on her shoulder.

He finally complained: "Actually, I don't even want to go to petroleum school. ”

"Why?"

"It's too far from home. If you make a round trip, it is not easy. I can't worry about my parents at home. ”

She gritted her teeth: "You can go with confidence." I'm studying at a university in this city, so I can help you take care of them by the way. ”

In this way, he embarked on the road to study in a distant country.

She personally put him on the train. The same as today, according to the farewell.

He swore that "when I come back from college, we will get married!" ”

However, when he came back three years later, everything was already wrong.

His parents are gone, and his bitter lover has married their classmate Shen Jinghao and went to Beijing to develop together.
