Chapter 3
Chapter 2 – Every Family Has A Hard Time
Ye Zhen naturally didn’t know about this.
At this time, she was sitting at the end of the corridor of the research room with her waist bent, looking out the window, waiting for her teacher, Professor Lin, who is also the dean of the Academy of Sciences, to leave work so that she could go in and pack up her things and go home.
Despite the fact that she resigned and did not quit, she insisted on applying for the job at Rongcheng Entertainment despite the opposition of the Academy of Sciences, and she skipped work today.
One can imagine how ugly Professor Lin’s face will be.
However, Ye Zhen, whose eyes were lingering outside the window, seemed to have forgotten all this at this moment. She was concentrating on the figures of the workers under the overpass. With the light on, Ye Yi’s smiling face dimmed a part, and it just slowly disappeared, in the dark night with the vast sea of people.
No one cares.
Ye Zhen took out her mobile phone, moved to the window sill, pursed her lips and showed a smile, compared to Scissorhands, she took a photo with the rest of the billboards.
“Hmm—” Professor Lin heard that Ye Zhen was back after a while, and she came out with a lot of momentum, but she didn’t see it after standing for a long time, so she had to make a sound to show her presence.
Ye Zhen put away her phone, stood up neatly and said, “Professor Lin.”
“Well,” Professor Lin said angrily, “Come in.” After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back to the research room.
Ye Zhen followed and walked in. Professor Lin put on his reading glasses and began to rummage through the things on the table. He said in his mouth, “How was the interview today? You didn’t embarrass me when you went out, did you?”
“without.”
“Um.”
The atmosphere fell silent again, only the sound of Professor Lin shaking down the documents in the research room, Ye Hao cleared her throat, just about to speak, Professor Lin suddenly said: “I found it,” and handed it to her, “Take it, I’ll ask Someone did it for you.”
It was a letter of appointment to reserve a position and be stationed in Rongcheng Enterprise for joint research. Ye Zhen took it, raised her head in surprise, and heard Professor Lin say: “I know, young people are no more patient than us, the world is so big, I want to Go out and have a look, just go, I hope you will be willing to come back when the time comes, alas~”
Ye Zhen held the letter of appointment in both hands and bowed to him: “Thank you, Professor.”
“Um.”
“Professor, I’m going to pack my things.”
“…Huh? Wait,” Professor Lin put his hands behind his back, and he was feeling sad about parting, when he saw his lover turned around and planned to leave, “Is this gone?”
“Professor, is there anything else?”
“After talking about this, you didn’t intend to open up and tell me why you had to leave?”
Ye Zhen said softly: “I entered Huada at the age of thirteen. At that time, teacher, you welcomed us on the podium. You praised us as geniuses. You said that all people are created equal, but the combination of a person’s EQ and IQ is what we commonly call Things that are ‘smart’ are not equal. God wants us to lead the world to move forward, so that we can be smart people, so being smart is not something to be proud of, but a responsibility.” Her voice After a pause, “Teacher, the students will remember what you said. No matter where you are, you will not be ashamed.”
Looking at the handsome figure of his lover, Professor Lin took off his reading glasses and wiped his tears emotionally, and sighed: “This child, although he usually doesn’t like to talk, he really speaks, really, he deserves to be taught by me. of!”
As for after returning home, when my wife asked, Professor Lin realized that he had been fooled and changed the subject, and was so angry that he jumped up and down. This is another story.
Ye Zhen carried the cardboard boxes she packed up from the research room, shuttled back and forth on the college road that she had walked for ten years, and headed home. Her home is at the other end of Xueyuan Road, a small Huaiyang noodle restaurant—the store is on the first and second floors, and her home is on the third floor. She came to Beijing to study at a young age, so her parents were naturally worried. The couple closed the restaurant in their hometown, and followed them to this unfamiliar place to open a noodle restaurant, just to take care of her.
Fortunately, after ten years of work, the noodle shop business is getting better and better, and it is rare in this university town. Firstly, it naturally benefited from the good reputation of the noodle shop, and secondly, it has something to do with Ye Zhen, the “God of Learning”. Chinese people always have a complex of “being happy” and “seeking auspiciousness” in their bones, so before the exam day, there will be a long line in front of Ye Zhen’s noodle restaurant, and the line is full of “worshipers” who came from hundreds of miles away. “.
Today was such a scene again, Ye Zhen asked the clerk who was maintaining order when passing by: “Why are there so many people, isn’t it only March?” Usually there are no exams at the beginning of school.
Before the clerk could answer, several students chirped: “We are going to take the National Computer Rank Examination, which is very important.”
Someone with bright eyes said, “Are you the senior sister?”
“Please bless me!” I prayed to God.
“Well,” Ye Zhen possessed Professor Lin for a second, waved her hand, and walked into the store, “Come on everyone, as long as you work hard, I believe everyone will get good grades.”
She told these children ruthlessly that she had never passed this test at all, and she was always kind.
The store was also very crowded, Ye Zhen found her father’s fat body in the kitchen, and shouted: “Dad, I’m back.”
“Hey,” the fat dad wiped his sweat with his apron, and replied loudly, “Dad boiled silky chicken soup for you and left some vegetables, Zhenzhen, you go upstairs first, and Dad will bring it to you right away.”
“Oh.” So Ye Zhen carried her things again, went upstairs slowly, and returned to her room.
Dad came up after him. Using his professional skills, he stacked up a stack of pots and bowls and brought them in front of her. He asked this and that while arranging the dishes: “How was the interview? What did Professor Lin say? Are you hungry? Hurry up.” Have a meal.”
“After the interview, Professor Lin asked someone to do a letter of appointment for me to be stationed in Rongcheng for research, and temporarily reserved my position.” Ye Zhen stuffed a piece of chicken into her mouth, and said vaguely, “Hungry, it’s delicious.”
“Okay, it’s good to keep the job, and there are guarantees for advance and retreat, so that your mother can be less angry, and you have to thank the teacher when you turn back… Oh, you should drink more of this silky chicken soup, the chicken brought from the country is very nourishing Yes…you get up after eating and walk around twice before doing the questions, so as not to accumulate food,” he finished talking, and wiped his sweat, “Dad is busy downstairs.”
Ye Zhen said “hmm” twice with her mouth full of rice, and buried her head in eating hard.
After eating, Ye Zhen obediently followed her father’s instructions and walked around the house, thinking about how to pack the books and materials she had brought back. Her mother came in with a plate of strawberries, and locked the door with her backhand.
It seems that the plate of strawberries was used as props, not for her to eat, Ye Zhen turned her eyes away from the strawberries and looked at her mother.
Her mother’s boudoir name is Su Tao, and there is a saying in “Book of Songs”: “Peach is so beautiful, it is Ye Zhenzhen”, and Ye Zhen’s name comes from her. It is said that when she was young, she was also a well-known talented woman in the small town, and she even published a collection of poems, but since Ye Zhen can remember, she has always been strict.
Su Tao lowered her head, tore off the strawberry tassels one by one, without speaking, and wiped her tears after a while.
“mom-“
“You still know that I am your mother.” As if a switch had been pressed, Su Tao dropped the strawberry in her hand, and her voice suddenly became sharp, “I have worked so hard to raise you so big, and I can’t bear to eat or wear anything. I want to give you the best, and have strict requirements on you, so that you will not be underestimated by those people! You are good, if you don’t want to work hard, you don’t want to, and you want to go to the entertainment industry like him, the entertainment industry Place, girls are so easy to mess with? Are you trying to **** me off!”
“Mom, as I said, I’m not going to be a star, I’m just going to work, and I’ll protect myself.”
“Work?!” Mentioning work, Su Tao danced even harder, “What a great job in the Academy of Sciences, you have to quit and go to that kind of place! Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking, me and your dad Working hard for you every day is not as rich and famous as he is, and he will attract people if he doesn’t do anything, so go! Anyway, you are grown up now, I can’t control you!”
“I know it’s not easy for you and Dad to raise me. For so many years, I didn’t want to recognize him. Mom, why do you always say these things?” Ye Zhen looked at her mother with a sad expression, “Others have already gone…”
Thinking of the recent events, her mother’s face darkened, but she still said: “Anyway, it’s because of him that you don’t want me as a mother anymore.”
“Mom, mother,” Ye Zhen finally couldn’t help shouting, “He called me at 1:05,” she said, as if she was tearing her own wound, tears streaming down her face , “I didn’t answer it. I saw it, and I didn’t answer it on purpose. Mom, I feel bad and want to see him. Is it okay?”
Su Tao opened her mouth, seemed to be shocked by her daughter’s words, and said after a while: “Zhenzhen, don’t be too sad, mom, mom, I—” She wanted to say something, comfort, and justify, but found that her daughter In the crying, these are too pale.
She turned out the door in a hurry, and after a while, she appeared in front of Ye Zhen dragging a big dusty sack: “He gave you these before, your father… Lao Feng didn’t want me to throw them away, so I gave them to you.” You keep it, if you miss him, just take a look?”
Ye Zhen raised her head and looked at her fixedly, her eyes were red and swollen.
Su Tao put down his things unnaturally, and retreated out of the room consciously, and when he was about to close the door, he suddenly said: “At that time for divorce, he didn’t want anything but you, but I refused. He is not a suitable person. Live your life, but it still hurts you.”
“…”
People are gone, what’s the use of talking about it now? What’s the use?
