In the following days, Xu Ling always set aside half a day every week to go on a date with Zhou Xingyan.
This life lasted for a year, and the two became more and more in harmony. They never quarreled, and there was no trivial matter, and there was no misunderstanding.
Zhou Xingyan is also a top ten boyfriend. He will give gifts during Chinese New Year and birthdays. Xu Ling is very satisfied with this situation, and the two occasionally sit down to discuss academic issues.
Xu Ling had imagined the scene where they would meet each other after watching. Her life is very fulfilling. Nothing is to study experiments and fall in love on weekends.
The peaceful life occasionally gets a little splash, but it's not her, but Ding Haitao from the previous dormitory. She also learned about Ding Haitao's current situation when she was told by the seniors in the laboratory.
"I heard that the girl
belongs to the younger sister and others ." Jia Lingxuan gave Cui Jiayi a white look. "When did you gossip?"
Cui Jiayi looked helpless, "I don't want to gossip. The man is in our class, I I just want to avoid it, but I can’t avoid it."
"Little Junior Sister, don’t you know?"
Xu Ling looked dazed. Except for class recently, she has been in the laboratory all the time. She has a normal relationship with her classmates. Contact, even her deskmate couldn't say ten words to her for a year.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
Cui Jiayi had to patiently explain to her, "It's Ding Haitao, the one in your class who talked with Wu Zhen in our class, and ended up having a big belly.
" Wu Zhen doesn't want to be responsible, and this person is bothered. I have seen him change several girlfriends. The little girl named Ding Haitao must have been deceived by him."
"That Ding Haitao directly reported to the principal. It's a big noise."
Xu Ling really didn't see Ding Haitao much recently. She had missed class for several days. "What about this now?"
Cui Jiayi: "What else can I do? I heard that both of them were expelled. The reason is not entirely because of this. It seems that their performances are also very dismal, and they also staged a suicide scene on campus. The impact is too great. , So they were all expelled."
Xu Ling really didn't know about this. Since she moved out of the dormitory, she has rarely seen Ding Haitao. Occasionally, she saw Ding Haitao in class, and she went to the laboratory immediately after class.
I went back to the dormitory very late every day. When I got back to the dormitory, I was busy washing and sleeping. There was no time to gossip. She didn't even know that Ding Haitao had a boyfriend named Wu Zhen.
I thought that Ding Haitao had spoken to her when she first entered university. She had thought of making good friends with her at that time, but for good fortune, everyone has a good side and a bad side.
Xu Ling also wanted to keep the good side of Ding Haitao, but it was a pity that they were not happy with each other in the end. Time flies so fast that everything can be forgotten.
In the spring of 1979, war broke out on the border of South Vietnam and Zhou Xingyan was transferred back to the army.
Xu Ling entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences smoothly after graduating from Beijing University. Both of them were originally employed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After the war broke out on the South-Vietnam border, Zhou Xingyan was immediately transferred back to the army.
Zhou Xingyan has been away for a week. Xu Ling commuted to and from work as usual, as if he was not affected at all. Jia Lingxuan cautiously asked her during lunch, "Are you not worried about Zhou Xingyan?"
Xu Ling didn't raise her head. "Worry, but what's the use of worrying? I believe he will come back."
But Jia Lingxuan didn't see any worry on her face . She should eat and drink, and go home when she is resting. Go shopping alone, soak in the laboratory at other times.
Many things have happened in the past few years. In the second year of school, Xu Ling reformed and opened up, and the college entrance examination was resumed across the country. In the third year, Yu Xiaowan was discharged from the Zhou City Arts and Crafts Troupe, and she went to Hong Kong alone.
Li Xiayun was still in the Zhou City Arts and Crafts Troupe. Liao Yimei was preparing to train her to succeed. He originally planned to get married this year. After the war broke out on the South-Vietnam border, Xi Hongxin rushed to the battlefield.
Xu Ling knew that Zhou Xingyan would be back soon. She knew that the war had only been fought for a month. The reason she didn't seem worried was because she believed in Zhou Xingyan.
However, when the night was quiet, my heart was always flustered. In the daytime, he returned to normal. For a month, he said whether it was fast or slow. Xu Ling has never returned home, so he spends almost every day in the laboratory.
She is also doing experiments in the laboratory alone when she is resting. Only she herself knows that time can pass faster.
Stopping will only think about it, she thinks she doesn't believe him that much, she will also worry about him being injured, worrying that he will not come back.
Before, she always thought that she just thought Zhou Xingyan was suitable for marriage, no matter which aspect she was just suitable for marriage, now she knew that she might have fallen in love with him during the long time together.
One month later, the South-Vietnam border ended the war. Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She had not received any bad news in the past month, and Zhou Xingyan should be safe.
She returned home. Xu Shan was already in the fifth grade of elementary school. When she saw her eldest sister came back, she no longer let Xu Ling hug her. After all, she was already very big now.
Xu Shan is in high school and she is very busy with her studies. She shuts herself up and reads a book every day. Wei Yahui is cooking and Xu Jianhua is reading the newspaper.
Seeing Xu Ling's return, Wei Yahui quickly put down what she was doing, "Why are you so busy these days, you haven't returned for a month."
"There is a chemical experiment in a hurry, so I was a little busy."
"The South-Vietnam border is over. Your brother called back to explain that he was back tomorrow, saying that their head gave him a vacation."
Xu Ling's eyes lit up when he heard that, "That's pretty good. I haven't seen him for several years."
"Who said no. Well, I always
thought he was annoying at home before, and I missed him after a few years." Wei Yahui hesitated and asked her: " Has Xiao Zhou contacted you?"
Xu Ling shook his head, "No, I guess he still has a lot of things. Be busy."
Wei Yahui was a little worried. Xu Mo was ready to come back. A few days ago, he called in advance to report his safety. This is all over. Even if he is busy making a call, he will still have it.
She was afraid that Zhou Xingyan was injured. She couldn't move and could not report safety, but she thought so in her heart and comforted Xu Ling, "I guess so, maybe it won't be true if you come back without saying a word someday."
Xu Ling laughed He smiled and said nothing, "Mom, I want to go to bed for a while and I'm too tired."
Wei Yahui nodded quickly, "Go ahead." After
Xu Ling left, Xu Jianhua sighed, "Hey, this kid is obviously worried. But he didn't say anything."
"I think Xiao Zhou's child must be fine, but something was delayed."
"I hope so." Xu Jianhua put down the newspaper and went back to the study.
Early the next morning, Wei Yahui called the three sisters, "Hurry up, let's go to the station to pick up your brother."
Xu Ling rubbed his eyes and glanced out the window. Before dawn, he glanced at his watch. At half past five, "What time does Xu Mo arrive? Why did
he get up so early." "He said that he would arrive in the morning . He was called by their team leader before he said the time. Let's go early so that we don't miss the time."
Xu Ling Nodded, "Okay,
let's get started." The two sisters also got up reluctantly, and the family rushed to the train station after washing up. Fortunately, Xu Jianhua bought a car instead of crowding the bus.
It was half past six when Xu Jianhua drove to the train station, and a car from Zhoushi arrived at the station. There were many people in the car.
"It's still a step late, maybe I got off the car."
Xu Ling: "It seems that it hasn't been long since we arrived
, so let's look for it." The three of them dispersed to find, Xu Jianhua pulled Xu Xiang, and Wei Yahui pulled Xu Shan. , Xu Ling walked to the back of the carriage alone.
She looked at the people who got off the car one by one, for fear of missing it. She hadn't seen Xu Mo for several years. It must have changed a lot. She ran to the place where she got off the car and looked closely.
Unexpectedly, after watching for a long time, there was no sign of Xu Mo. Soon everyone in the car got off. Xu Ling thought that maybe he wasn't here, so he would meet his parents first.
She turned and walked a few steps, a familiar voice sounded behind her, "Lingling."
Xu Ling's tears fell when she heard the voice of thinking day and night, she turned her head, Zhou Xingyan was behind her, he It looks a little darker, and the scum is growing out, and he is looking at her with a smile.
Xu Ling ran over and hugged him tightly, Zhou Xingyan let out a sullen snort, she also noticed, and wanted to get out of his arms, "Are you hurt?"
Zhou Xingyan was unwilling to let her go, "I It's okay, it's just a small injury."
She buried him in his chest and found a faint smell of blood. She must have been injured in the chest. She struggled out quickly and reached out to untie his military uniform.
Zhou Xingyan took her hand and said softly in her ear while chuckles: "Baby, don't worry, there will be time in the future, it will not affect the public."
Xu Ling did not intend to let go, "You You must be injured. Let me see it soon."
Zhou Xingyan couldn't help her, so she had to let her see. Xu Ling unbuttoned the button, there was gauze on his chest, and blood leaked out, Xu Ling tears with distress. Come down.
She trembled and asked, "Does
it hurt ?" Zhou Xingyan reached out and wiped her tears, "It doesn't hurt at all, don't you think I am not good?"
She buttoned his clothes while crying. Zhou Xingyan grabbed her hand and said, "Hey, don't cry, I'm really fine."
"Ahem." Xu Mo, who was standing behind him, coughed. It was obvious that he got out of the car behind Zhou Xingyan. But my sister didn't seem to see him.
Only then did Xu Ling notice Xu Mo, who was carrying luggage behind her, and she wiped away tears indiscriminately, "Why are you two together?"
Xu Mo is much taller, thinner, and darker, but looks a lot more mature than before. Although Huli is unreliable, and the Xu family’s looks are relatively high, he is no exception. Going out for exercise for a few years is quite interesting. Manly.
"I've been standing behind for a long time, but you patronize your object and don't put me in your eyes at all."
The people in the station are almost gone, Xu Jianhua and Wei Yahui can't find anyone to look into the car behind. , I saw Zhou Xingyan and his son.
The two rushed over with the sisters. When Wei Yahui saw Xu Mo's tears, she felt that this son was not very arrogant, but after all, it was a piece of meat that fell from her body. Why didn't she think that she hadn't seen her in a few years?
Xu Mo flushed his eyes when he saw his parents, "Dad and mom, I'm back."
