Genius Girlfriend - v4 Chapter 131
That evening, dark clouds covered the sky, and snow flew down.
The heavy snow flickered, covering the sky and the earth, and the lights of thousands of families melted into the cold night. Lin Zhixia stared at the scene outside the window, muttering to herself: “I haven’t been home for a long time.”
Steaming meals filled the table. Mother gave Lin Zhixia a bowl of soup, and said with emotion: “Your father, I will talk about you every two days, for fear that you will suffer outside suffering. In the next two years, when Xia Xia wants to go home, Tell your parents, your parents will pay for your plane ticket.”
Lin Zhixia held the soup bowl: “Mom, I can buy my own ticket.”
“How much money is in Xia Xia’s small vault?” Dad asked.
Lin Zhixia said frankly: “My post-doctorate’s annual salary is 100,000 US dollars.”
The whole living room fell into silence.
After a few more seconds, my father asked, “One hundred thousand dollars? Is Xia Xia earning one hundred thousand dollars a year?”
According to the foreign currency exchange rate in January 2014, one hundred thousand U.S. dollars is approximately 610,000 yuan.
Lin Zhixia had just turned 19 and was able to earn an annual salary of more than 600,000 yuan, which shocked her parents and brothers to nothing. And her plan is also very clear: “I will go to MIT to do a post-doctorate for a year after I graduated from my PhD in the second half of this year, and I will return to China in October next year. I can use the money I saved to buy a new house. I want to live. Near the university town.”
“House prices have risen in the past few years. The university town is a school district room.” Dad opened a bottle of liquor. “The price is very expensive. It costs more than 30,000 yuan per square meter.”
Lin Zhixia said happily: “I can pay the down payment first, and then the loan. When I get the teaching position, the school will give me a settlement allowance. I want to buy a large house of more than 200 square meters. Our whole family lives in.”
“Buying a big house” is also Lin Zeqiu’s goal.
Lin Zeqiu absently took two bites of rice.
Dad looked up and bored half a glass of white wine, and his mother pulled his sleeves: “Drink less, you are not young, you have to pay attention to health preservation.”
“I’m happy, I’m so happy in my heart,” Dad’s eyes were red and his voice gradually increased, “Xia Xia in our family is so promising.”
Drinking up, Dad held his chopsticks and said in a whisper: “Dad was farming in the village when he was a child, and he could only study when the farm was idle. We didn’t have a table at home, so Dad lay down on the kang to do homework… At that time, Dad thought, this I have to go to the city in my life. How dare I think of what Peking University and Cambridge my daughter can go to and buy a big house of more than 200 square meters…”
Lin Zhixia reminded her dad shyly: “I haven’t bought a house yet, I just have a plan.”
Dad wakes up like a dream: “If you buy a house next year, your parents will give you some subsidies.”
Mom put a chicken leg for Lin Zhixia: “The down payment for a big house is also a lot of money. Let’s buy a small one first. Let Xia Xia live there, come back several times a week, eat a meal, and sleep. Take a nap, parents can take good care of you.”
Lin Zhixia said firmly: “No, no, no, I want to buy a large set, I can afford it.”
Lin Zeqiu reminded her: “You can’t be fat with one bite, and the pressure to repay the loan in a big house is heavy.”
The north wind whistled and the falling snow rustled, Lin Zhixia was in the warm home, and she couldn’t help but relax a lot. She picked up a piece of crispy beef, carefully dipped it in the soup, and put it into Lin Zeqiu’s bowl: “Brother eat beef.”
Lin Zeqiu likes fried beef with green pepper the most. He never tires of this dish.
He took a bite of beef, and Lin Zhixia revealed: “I have a senior sister, she was selected for the’Thousand Talents Plan for Youth’.”
“Is it Qing Qian?” Lin Zeqiu answered.
Lin Zhixia began to talk about the treatment of “Qingqian”: “Yes, the state will provide a one-time subsidy of 500,000 yuan to “Qingqian” talents, and universities in our city will also provide an additional reward of 1 million yuan. This is tax-free. Moreover, Professor Qingqian usually gets an annual salary, starting at about 300,000 yuan, and the research funding starts at several million. I don’t have to worry about research funding. I can recruit graduate students and train them to become a new generation of talents. …I am very happy.”
Mom sat beside Lin Zhixia. She raised her hand and touched Lin Zhixia’s head. Lin Zhixia said coquettishly: “Mom, I miss you so much when I am abroad.”
Mother replied: “Mom also misses Xiaxia.”
But my dad asked in a daze, “Xia Xia, what you just said are true?”
Lin Zhixia nodded: “Of course it is true.”
Dad took out a tissue and wiped his face.
His face glowed red.
He has some white hair, which shines dazzlingly in the light.
He touched his palm back along his forehead, smoothed his sideburns, and kept muttering: “Great, Xia Xia, hey, dad drink two more glasses of wine, don’t let your mother stop me, dad’s heart It’s so smooth, Xia Xia is a talent, and she can cultivate talent. Mom and Dad are proud of you.”
Mom also said: “Mom and Dad have saved some money over the years, and we give you all the savings. Can you see if the down payment for the big house is enough?”
Lin Zhixia declined her mother’s kindness.
In front of her family, Lin Zhixia calculated without evasiveness: “I earned more than 300,000 yuan in my undergraduate program. During the two years of Ph.D., I got a scholarship and worked as a teaching assistant, saving 140,000 yuan, and saving another 400,000 yuan next year. With the addition of various subsidies from Qingqian, I can almost have 2.4 million in cash, which is enough for me to pay the down payment.”
The series of astronomical figures reported by Lin Zhixia made Lin Zeqiu forget to chew the rice in his mouth.
After Lin Zeqiu heard Lin Zhixia’s income, he inevitably thought of Jiang Yubai.
On the way home, my father said to Lin Zeqiu that Xia Xia has grown up and has seen a world bigger than them. As a father, he can’t express his worries. He should support Xia Xia and Xiao Jiang as much as possible, and can’t let Xia Xia be caught between her family and Jiang Yubai in embarrassment.
Lin Zeqiu heard this sentence.
Lin Zeqiu suddenly hammered the railing at the airport exit, using ten percent of his strength. Now, a few hours later, Lin Zeqiu’s palm is still aching. When he thought that Jiang Yubai tricked Lin Zhixia into cohabiting, and even taught Lin Zhixia to lie, he didn’t get angry.
My sister finally came back. Lin Zeqiu didn’t want to criticize her harshly. It spoiled the atmosphere at home, so he simply stopped mentioning Jiang Yubai.
Lin Zeqiu deliberately avoided the three words “Jiang Yubai”, but Lin Zhixia took the initiative to say: “By the way, Jiang Yubai will also help me run the’Quantum Technology Laboratory’. I will be named in an Internet company. My main energy can be Put it on scientific research.”
Strangely, the response from the family was not overwhelming.
The silence in the living room extended.
In the vast night sky, snowflakes fluttered down, and a layer of white snow accumulated on the windowsill. Dad glanced out the window and came up with a set of rhetoric: “Mom and dad don’t understand the Internet and laboratories. Xia Xia decides on her own. Be careful. If you have anything to do, tell her mom and dad, and the family will find a way.”
Lin Zhixia is eating shrimp dumplings. When the vinegar in her bowl ran out, her mother poured her vinegar, and asked, “How is Xiao Jiang treating you? Mom doesn’t understand him, I think he has a good temper.”
Lin Zhixia seized the opportunity to score Jiang Yubai’s impressions: “Jiang Yubai has a very good temper and is very gentle. He has never been angry. He is calm and calm when things happen, not arrogant or impetuous, and has a stable personality. He has a quick mind He is very reactive, and I like to chat with him… We have been chatting for ten years, and we often exchange diaries and notes. His writing is as interesting as his own. He is dedicated to me…”
Lin Zhixia almost said, “He is reserved and reserved, and guards himself like jade.”
Fortunately, she stopped in time.
Then she suddenly realized that she rarely mentioned Jiang Yubai in front of her parents.
Jiang Yubai had given her so much emotional support, and she buried those support as a secret in her heart.
Now, Lin Zhixia is open and honest: “I used to be very courageous, Jiang Yubai often encouraged me…”
Her voice gradually lowered: “From childhood to adulthood, he always said, you are excellent, and you must go forward bravely.”
“Xiao Jiang is a good boy.” Dad commented somewhat drunkly.
Mom’s attitude is still unclear: “Is Xiao Jiang free? Let him come to our house again. Mom and Dad have a few words with him. It’s not convenient to say too much at the airport today.”
Lin Zeqiu let out a sneer.
He has not told his parents that Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai have moved in together.
Lin Zhixia suddenly looked at him.
Her eyes were clear and pure, like melting snow on a mountain. After all, he couldn’t bear to let her get into a deadlock, so he concealed her cohabitation in a vague way.
Later, more severe challenges came.
Lin Zeqiu had to bear the responsibilities of his parents.
He must explain clearly to Lin Zhixia, the risk of a girl living with a man.
He has done psychological construction for a long time.
By ten o’clock in the evening, the lights in Lin Zhixia’s room were still on.
Lin Zeqiu knocked on his sister’s door and strode into the room. His sister looked at him with a puzzled face. He moved a chair and wanted to have a long conversation with her sister.
Lin Zeqiu thought about it seriously, and Jiang Yubai was attracted to Lin Zhixia with his “gentle and calm” character. If Lin Zeqiu blindly blamed his sister, he would only push her further and further away.
Therefore, Lin Zeqiu changed his previous fierce and stern attitude, and even barely squeezed out the corners of his lips. He said: “There is something you must know.”
Lin Zhixia stared at his face and shivered: “I just came home, don’t scold me.”
Lin Zeqiu frowned slightly: “I really didn’t want to scold you.”
Lin Zhixia asked quietly: “Aren’t you just asking me to talk about cohabitation?”
Lin Zeqiu broke power all at once. He made a cold face again.
Lin Zhixia is painting.
There are blue sky and clear water, flying fish and sea birds in her writing.
She was in a good mood and said in a soft voice: “Are you going to tell me, pay attention to safety? Don’t worry, I will not let you be an uncle at a young age, Jiang Yubai and I have not yet reached that point.”
Lin Zeqiu helped the table to stand up.
“What’s wrong with brother?” Lin Zhixia asked him.
“I’m leaving.” Lin Zeqiu shook off this sentence coldly, and hurriedly left Lin Zhixia’s bedroom.
My sister is really smart. He thought to himself, maybe he doesn’t have to worry about his sister at all.
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yubai woke up early.
He received Lin Zhixia’s invitation and will visit Lin Zhixia’s parents today.
Jiang Yubai told his family about the incident.
The uncle immediately said, “Xiaojiang, this is very important. You must perform well in front of your future parents-in-law.”
The aunt reminded: “Don’t forget to bring a gift, come formally, don’t go empty-handed.”
The uncle put his arms around his aunt’s shoulders: “My wife is very thoughtful, what good things do our family have, let the housekeeper prepare a few more, and the uncle and aunt will help you pick one. Your uncle, I went to your aunt’s house for the first time. Something went wrong…”
Compared with the positive enthusiasm of uncles and aunts, parents’ attitudes are more calm. Dad asked Jiang Yubai to be polite at his girlfriend’s house, and his mother told him to come back early in the evening, and there was a dinner at home.
Jiang Yubai said, “I will eat at their house in the evening.”
Mom put down the tea cup and said warmly: “Well, then, you can get along more with their family.”
In the morning, Jiang Yubai bathed and burned incense, put on a new set of clothes and new shoes, carrying a few bags of valuable gifts, personally drove a Rolls Royce Phantom, and arrived at the Ancheng community where Lin Zhixia was located.
Jiang Yubai parked his Rolls Royce not far from Lin Zhixia’s building.
He picked up a lot of paper bags, carrying the ardent expectations of his uncle and aunt, and walked slowly towards the door of Lin Zhixia’s house.
In the past two years, the lanes of Ancheng District have been renovated, and the roads are straight and clean. However, the snow on both sides of the road has not melted. Lin Zhixia ran out wearing a pair of rubber shoes and greeted enthusiastically: “You are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you should come in with me soon, I made a lychee mousse cake.”
Before Lin Zhixia spoke, another Lexus car passed by.
The moment the door opened, Lin Zhixia frowned slightly.
Lin Zhixia stood there without saying a word.
Jiang Yubai was wondering what happened to Lin Zhixia, so he heard her say without emotion: “Uncle, aunt, cousin, good morning.”
