Chapter 20 talks about classmates
Although Liu Ying was a little excited, she was also very uneasy: "It's too far away from our camp, right?" ”
"Ahem, is it only seventy kilometers away? I drove there in less than an hour. ”
The wife obviously didn't want her husband to be too preoccupied with work, so she happily said, "That's good." ”
He saw that his wife was very happy, and he also became active: "Let's go, let's go drive." ”
In their campsite, several construction trucks were parked. However, it is not exactly a truck, there are also cars carrying people, one of which is a special vehicle for Lu Yuxian, who is the head of the project.
He took out the car keys from his trouser pocket, first holding the umbrella and carefully helping his wife into the passenger cab, then he turned to the side of the cab, and when he got into the car, he closed the umbrella and then closed the door.
As his car drove out of the camp, it passed by the bustling staff quarters.
He looked helpless: "Their mood is completely different from mine, it's really the same weather, two different mentalities." ”
His wife smiled: "Yu Xian, don't be too demanding of your employees." It's not easy for them, and they finally look forward to a day off. You should also relax yourself. ”
He smiled bitterly: "In the face of the current predicament, where can I relax?" ”
The wife restrained her smile: "It seems that you came out this time completely to entertain me." Since that's the case, then I won't force it. ”
He was stunned for a moment, and then confessed: "Yingzi, the only thing that can make me feel happy at the moment is to have you by my side." Being able to make you happy is the most exciting thing for me. ”
When the wife heard him say this, she regained a glimmer of brilliance, but warned her husband: "Since you want to be happy with me, don't mention the project again." We can completely leave all our troubles behind today. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." He pulled himself together, and the car drove out of the camp—
On the road to Yatu, while driving, he asked his wife, "You have been in contact with Rong Rong a lot lately, right?" ”
The wife nodded: "Well, our sisters almost have nothing to talk about. ”
"Oh, did she mention Hong Ming then?"
The wife shook her head: "She mostly listened to me talk about the situation and what she saw here. ”
He frowned: "I heard the radio this morning that there was another armed conflict in the country where she worked. I have heard that the local opposition is so arrogant that it is almost threatening the country's capital. ”
Liu Ying said angrily: "You, you're really worried about your life, just didn't mention our project, you care about your high school female classmates again." ”
He smiled bitterly: "I'm not worried about Rong Rong, after all, she can stay in the embassy of the motherland, but she sweats about Hong Ming's situation." The oil fields he was responsible for were located in close proximity to conflict zones. I care about that male classmate. In fact, Mr. Ye is also the most concerned about him. ”
Liu Ying sighed: "How can it be easy for people like us who go abroad to work?" May he be safe! ”
He nodded, saying no more.
Liu Ying became interested in Xing Hongming at this time, and couldn't help asking, "Yu Xian, what kind of result did you say Rong Rong would have with your old classmate?" ”
He pondered: "I am the person who knows Hong Ming the most among our class of 94. He loves very persistently, even if Rong Rong marries Jing Hao by mistake, he still does not change his original intention. If it hadn't happened, they would have been together a long time ago. ”
When Liu Ying heard this, she couldn't help but half-joke: "You were also Rong Rong's suitor at that time." If she marries you by mistake, your life will be perfect. ”
He was not moved by his wife's jokes, but just smiled indifferently: "Rong Rong was our school flower of the 94th class at that time. Which male classmate doesn't covet her? ”
Liu Ying's face suddenly turned pale and said, "Could it be that he has never married, just to wait for Rong Rong?" Could it be that Rong Rong divorced another classmate of yours, Shen Jinghao, also for Xing Hongming? ”
He muttered: "Rong Rong suddenly married Jing Hao back then, and now she is suddenly divorced, for me, it's all a mystery. But the reason why Hong Ming has not married so far is somewhat related to Rong Rong. He has always set the standard of courtship to a girl who is the same type as Rong Rong. Rong Rong is always a hurdle in his heart. ”
Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh gloomily: "It's really hard for him." I hope there will be a bittersweet ending between him and Rong Rong. ”
Unexpectedly, he shook his head: "Rong Rong's parents don't see it that way. They almost regarded Jing Hao as their other son, and they didn't want that family to fall apart like this. ”
Liu Ying glanced at her husband: "It seems that Rong Rong and Shen Jinghao were united at the beginning, mostly because of pressure from their parents. ”
He thought for a moment: "I admit that there are factors in this regard, but Rong Rong is not a girl who is willing to give in. Actually, she still misunderstood Hong Ming back then. ”
Liu Ying was a little disapproving: "Yu Xian, I think there is still a deep gap between Rong Rong and Xing Hongming. Let's not talk about other factors, just say that Rong Rong, as the messenger of Chinese cultural transmission, has a posture of dominating the world. With such a strong character, would she succumb to any man? ”
He couldn't help but glance sideways at his wife: "As Rong Rong's best friend, do you treat her like this?" ”
The wife was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That girl doesn't actually tell me what is in her heart." I'm not sure to judge. ”
He asked, "She is a woman, and you are a woman." You think about it from the perspective of you women, no matter how high your social status is, don't you want to be spoiled by a man around you? ”
His wife's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "You know me, why do you ask like this?" ”
"I know you, but I also know Rongrong. She was my classmate from elementary school to high school. Actually, she's the same type of woman as you. ”
The wife said "um", "Otherwise, we wouldn't be good friends." ”
He also said: "I actually want to contact Hong Ming personally, but I am tired of this project every day, and I can't eat or sleep well every day, but I'm afraid that he will worry about me." Therefore, when you contact Rong Rong again, you must make a special inquiry about Hong Ming's situation. ”
"Well, don't worry about it, I'll help you ask."
The two chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived in Yatu City. It's the country's economic center, and while it's not as prosperous as China's developed cities, it's not unlike any other. The skin and language of the people here are varied, and the mixture of white and yellow people makes it seem to be a pluralistic society.
While driving through the streets, Lu Yuxian introduced to his wife: "Yatu City can be regarded as a city with a long history, and I think it was a very important transportation hub on the ancient Silk Road. It is also engraved with many imprints of ancient Chinese culture. ”
Liu Ying sighed: "I think that our ancestors relied on horses and camels to complete thousands of miles of journey, how much time and years does it take for this round trip." Nowadays, it only takes us a few days to take a look at this ancient Silk Road from beginning to end. ”
He nodded, and then said, "If this is reached, then our section of the railway project must be successfully completed." ”
Although he unconsciously brought the topic to the project he was responsible for, it resonated with his wife.
She pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Yu Xian, do you remember that the two of us talked about Zhan Tianyou together when we were in college? ”
"Of course I do. He was the first railway engineer in his homeland and will always be my idol. ”
Liu Ying sighed: "The railway we are building now can be said to be many times more difficult than the railway built by his old man. Therefore, when we have completed this arduous project, we can finally say, 'Our achievements have far surpassed those of our predecessors'! ”
Unexpectedly, his expression became melancholy again: "If you want to successfully complete this project, it is simply too difficult!" ”
The wife immediately said: "Don't worry, there will always be a way to overcome the difficulties in front of you." ”
He shook his head gloomily: "Sometimes, I feel that I am quite useless, I have built the railway for most of my life, and there are still many technical difficulties that cannot be overcome." ”
Liu Ying understood her husband's mood very well, so she patiently comforted: "This is a national project, not your own business." Sometimes, don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”
"Well, you have a point. When you encounter difficulties, you need to work together to solve them. ”
His wife smiled: "Look at you, don't you understand this truth very well?" Why do you always have worries on your face every day? ”
He seemed to have a hint of realization in an instant: "Yes, the current problem cannot be solved by worrying alone. I need to adjust my thinking a bit and try to expand my thinking. ”
"Hehe, since you have such thoughts, then go out with me and relax, maybe it will inspire your infinite inspiration."
On a whim, he drove straight to Yatu's largest international shopping mall, which displayed high-end goods from all over the world.
Liu Ying was surprised: "Why did you bring me here?" ”
After he parked the car, he glanced at his beloved wife affectionately: "Yingzi, you and I have never lived a stable day for more than 20 years. I also rarely take you out to buy things. Today, I'm going to buy you a piece of the world's famous brand clothing. ”
The wife was a little moved, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't buy it." We are busy with projects every day, how can we have the opportunity to wear them? Besides, how expensive it must be to buy clothes from here! ”
He laughed: "We are not a low-income group, what is there to be reluctant to spend?" Besides, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year? It's also good that you can wear beautiful clothes every night for me to admire. ”
The wife's pretty face turned crimson, and she was embarrassed to say anything more.
