Green Tea is So Annoying - Chapter 75
Chu Ning’an never heard her answer.
She wanted to ask but didn’t dare. After a while, she said, “Where are you now?”
Xie Mingjun said: “I did.”
“Huh?” Chu Ning’an didn’t return to her senses.
Xie Mingjun repeated: “She told me.”
Chu Ning’an didn’t know how to answer this, Xie Mingjun said, “If you’re not busy tomorrow, I’ll invite you to dinner when I have time.”
“…Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, she regained her senses. It was already dark outside the window. Back in the living room, Xie Mingjun took the remote control and turned on the TV.
The internet has been disconnected at home. She turned on the hotspot of her mobile phone, and clicked on the recent broadcast record of the TV. She only saw the news broadcast last month and the national talks, which were all major events that happened last month.
After reading it, she blindly clicked into the music.
“…Whentheygettothepart,Wherehe’sbreakingherheart,Itcanreallymakemecry…”
“Just like before, It’s syesterdayoncemore.”
On the coffee table is a tin box with a cute and soft Peter Rabbit on it.
When Dong Yin was sick and hospitalized before, she went to buy the toffee for Dong Yin. Dong Yin liked the box very much at the time, but she did not take it with her when she left.
The box can also smell a faint toffee aroma.
The iron box was opened by her, but it was not empty. It contained a coin and several cards with Dong Yin’s writing on them.
[Because of the confidential nature of the work, there is no way to tell you the address, I am very sorry. But the instructor said that if you do it well, you will have better development, and also said that you can go to the United Nations in the future, please don’t worry about me.
Maybe I have to leave for half a year, maybe a year, maybe two or three years, I don’t know, the return date is undetermined, but I will definitely come back.
I feel proud to translate documents for the country.
In fact, it is not just because of the high salary, but because I can stand in a higher place, I can get close contact with my dreams, like the bubbles I blew when I was a child, and floated into my hands, making me feel that I am not So small, qualified to fight for everything and you.
I’m leaving, you have to be fine.
In the days after that, it may be difficult to accept. Just like when you went to study abroad, we were all very sad. I also lost my temper with you, and I am very sorry. But I want to tell you that you don’t have to work so hard, just do what you can do, and remember how to be happy.
All I say are angry words, don’t work too hard.
I still remember the first time I saw you.
At that time, you were very fierce. You blocked me in the classroom. I asked you to let me go, but you refused to move, which caused me to write homework in the classroom all night.
When I met you, you were fierce and bad. Later, I realized that you were very good. Think about it carefully. In fact, whether you are good or bad, you are Xie Mingjun.
I love you too.
You took away a box of my things when you left, and I also took a box of yours when I left, I hope you don’t mind.
I have cleaned up at home and wrapped it in dust-proof cloth. You don’t have to run back often to clean up, and you don’t have to call the housekeeping auntie. My things are inconvenient to take away, please don’t lose them, I have sealed them.
In my absence, may you be brave, may you be at peace, and may you be free from suffering.
(The stationery secretly sprayed your fragrance, do you smell it?)
—To girlfriend Xie Mingjun]
Xie Mingjun pinched the card and was speechless for a long time. She looked at it, looked at it again and again, picked it up and sniffed it, but she could only smell the fragrance of the white rabbit’s milk.
She took out her phone.
During this period of time, the time difference between the two places caused them to send messages back and forth. Every time Dong Yin would seriously tell her that the work was going well, but she was wrapped in fear of parting and did not say a word of congratulations.
Xie Mingjun put away the card and put it in the box. There was also a coin in it, a one-dollar coin. It didn’t look very new, and the date of manufacture was ten years ago.
She couldn’t understand what it meant until she picked up the coin.
There was also a note on the back, and Dongyin wrote very small words: [The coin you gave me before, let me make a wish to the turtle in the wishing pool, I have always been reluctant to make it, and I will leave it to you to make a wish. Not so good. 】
Xie Mingjun put the letter paper back into the box, and she looked in the house. She used to have a strong desire to shop and bought everything. The house was full of luxury goods she bought. She couldn’t figure out what Dongyin took with her.
She came back and put the box in the drawer. This drawer is usually used by Dong Yin, but now there are a bunch of boxes in it, all of which are finger cots and small toys, all the messes are bought by Dong Yin.
Xie Mingjun took the box and looked.
It reads: [Remember to buy the things I sent to you, it’s too uncomfortable for me to kill myself, I want you to kill me. 】
Xie Mingjun laughed.
She was the first who didn’t want Dongyin to study abroad, she was the first to study abroad, and she was the one who couldn’t bear Dongyin’s departure in the end.
I’m really selfish.
Xie Mingjun thought, obviously she wrote so seriously and said goodbye so seriously, but I pretended not to know, pretended not to hear, even now I still think she should not leave, should not leave me.
“laugh.”
Xie Mingjun was lying on the sofa, she looked at the ring on her fingertips.
Then, without realizing it, tears fell, and she raised her hand to cover her face.
What am I thinking?
How could Dong Yin not want me?
She cleaned the house so that she could come back better.
·
When we were leaving, the rain stopped and the road was wet. Xie Mingjun held an umbrella to go to the airport. She sent a message to Chu Ning’an, saying that there was something wrong with the school and it was too late to meet.
She bought a plane ticket and flew abroad directly. When she got on the plane, she turned the ring on her finger and looked at the small words on the inside.
“lifetime with you”
·
In the first year, someone stayed with me for half a year, but it went by quickly. In the second year, the overseas branch grew rapidly, and she was so busy that the axis turned quickly. In the third year, she was busy graduating…not so fast.
Looking back, the days have become boring. There is a saying that people who have tasted the sweetness will find it difficult to go back and endure hardships, except for a new taste.
After being immersed in the sweetness of love, then being alone will make life difficult.
In the past three years, she seldom went back. She only returned to China during the Chinese New Year and when she had to come back for work. Usually, she stayed abroad.
“Xie Mingjun, let’s play together. I see that you never go out to relax. Just after graduation, go to the bar for a drink.” The Chinese classmate called her.
Xie Mingjun replied: “I don’t want to go, I want to go back to China.”
“Hey, if you hadn’t talked about your work every day, I would have thought that your family was strictly in control,” said the friend.
Xie Mingjun stopped and said, “Indeed, girlfriends are strictly controlled.”
“…Ah? Do you have a partner?” The friend looked at her in surprise, not very convinced. “It can’t be an excuse. I haven’t seen you have any hobbies in three years of study. You are really clean.”
Xie Mingjun didn’t say much, she stretched out her finger, wearing a thin gold ring on her middle finger, after finishing speaking, she took the textbook and left.
The three words “girlfriend” are strange.
She stopped and looked outside the school. She said that time flies, but mentally and physically, everything reminded her that three years is a long time.
Xie Mingjun doesn’t have any hobbies. He used to play and spend money. In the past three years, he has developed a habit. He likes to collect records, especially old records, such as “Yesterdayoncemore” and “BrotherLouie” …Every song is classic, but unfortunately, no matter how old the record is, it doesn’t sound too hard to sing.
There are holidays every year. When returning to China for leisure, Xie Mingjun will go to Dongyin’s postgraduate school, walk from the south gate to the north gate, and stand in a daze under the plane tree.
At that time, she would come to wait for Dong Yin after get off work early, Dong Yin would wait for her at the door of the company after class early, buy food together, she would cook, Dong Yin would come to serve the food, and her fingers would be burned, Dong Yin would pinch herself ear.
Time will dilute many unforgettable things. It is such a small thing that can be kept in my heart forever. Every time my heart is accidentally touched, the string will break and cause faint pain.
Human memory is limited, many things will gradually be forgotten, and nothing can seal the memory forever, even the knowledge that has been reviewed all the time, will gradually disappear in the mind because of new things.
In fact, she could also feel that she was slowly forgetting.
I don’t often put this name in my mouth, and it is difficult to say it again.
Xie Mingjun sat for a while and walked back. Coincidentally, just after she took a few steps, she met a familiar face, not an acquaintance, but Dong Yin’s former mentor.
The instructor took the initiative to call her and said, “Xie Mingjun?”
“Huh? Hello.” Xie Mingjun was stunned for a moment and shook hands with him.
The tutor said: “I always saw you coming to school to wait for Dong Yin. Thinking about it, it was a few years ago. Time passed by so quickly.”
Xie Mingjun nodded.
The tutor asked again, “Did you go abroad later?”
“Yes, I studied abroad later, and I am preparing to graduate recently. I guess I will read a blog again.” Xie Mingjun said about his development.
“Yes, both of you are working hard. There are not many young people who can work hard like you. It’s not bad.” The tutor looked at her with approval.
The two walked along the forest road. The instructor was very impressed with Dong Yin. The two chatted and talked about the past. He said that after Xie Mingjun left, Dongyin worked very hard, she recited two books when others recited one book, and often forgot to eat and sleep, only when Xie Mingjun called her would she go to dinner, “At that time, I couldn’t even see it, I told her to relax, but she told me that my girlfriend is also working hard, and I can’t fall behind. Hey, I thought she was too tight at that time, and it was the first time I thought, what to do at such a young age. “
Xie Mingjun recalled and said warmly, “She said that the opportunity was rare, and that she was too far behind to become a monk.”
“Opportunities are rare…” The instructor sighed, looked at Xie Mingjun and said, “She has worked hard, and you are also working hard as family members. I didn’t want to recommend her at that time. She was too young, and I was afraid that she would not be able to endure hardships or follow suit. home contact…”
“Teacher…” Xie Mingjun stopped. She apologized first and said, “You just said that I am… a family member?”
“Isn’t it a family member?” The instructor wondered, “I often saw Dong Yin play with the ring on her finger at that time, and asked me if I could wear a ring and dye my hair when I joined the translation department.”
Standing on the road, Xie Mingjun listened to the wind blowing in her ears and the noise of shoes falling on the leaves, she stammered and said, “Yes, I, we as family members are very supportive, this is not a personal person. Honor, if she can contribute to the country, our family is very proud.”
After speaking, she added seriously, “Really.”
“Hahahaha.” The instructor laughed.
Xie Mingjun squeezed the ring on his finger, turned it gently, and asked, “It’s very hard to translate, before she was at home, she always had to put a few documents, and the computer had to be turned on to check documents, she always had to remind her Time and time again, she doesn’t listen and insists on translating first.”
The teacher said, “You want to ask her if she is suffering or not?”
“…Sorry, you all found out.” Xie Mingjun smiled embarrassedly.
“Life should be good, but work is tiring, but this is unavoidable, just like going up the stairs. You have to keep going up. If you want to go to a high place, you must pay and you must work hard.”
“Yes, I don’t know if she is obedient and whether she has a combination of work and rest. I used to be able to cook for her at home, and she didn’t know if she would eat something good when she was outside. She was too mean to herself, okay. give it all to others…”
“That’s why she can do great things. You’re not bad. Now you have to take Jundi’s class. I remember that when the school bought a water dispenser, Dong Yin would point to me and say, teacher, this is my girlfriend. The product developed by the team. The little girl looked at it very much.”
Xie Mingjun smiled: “Now I’m in charge of overseas branches.”
Chatting, chatting, the road came to the end, and at the gate of the school, Xie Mingjun wanted to chat for a while, but he was afraid of disturbing others, so he was hesitating whether to open his mouth to invite guests to dinner.
The instructor took the initiative to say, “Go to the classroom to see?”
“Okay.” Xie Mingjun replied.
On weekends, the school is full of people, laughing and discussing academics. The tutor pushes the door open and turns on the lamp on the wall. There is no one in the classroom.
They stood at the lectern and talked about the recent social development, how important diplomacy is, and the development of the country.
No matter who is referring to their own country or current affairs, they will show seriousness.
Xie Mingjun said, “Can I trouble you with one thing?”
“You said.” The instructor asked.
“If you have a chance to see her, just help me with a word, not to mention how I am, that is to say…the family is fine. “
The tutor said: “I may not have a chance, but you can tell her face to face.”
After chatting for a long time, it was dark when we went back.
Xie Mingjun opened the car door. She was sitting in the driver’s seat, holding the steering wheel, and her eyes fell on the ring on her middle finger. She raised her hand and gently dropped a kiss. At that moment, her heart was beating fiercely and her blood was boiling hot.
She drove the car and received the call from the secretary in the middle. She didn’t say much, but just asked the secretary to finish the procedure as soon as possible, and she planned to go back to the domestic headquarters.
“What does the headquarters say?” the secretary asked.
Xie Mingjun said, “Who dares not let me come back now?”
Full of confidence.
“Okay, I’ll go to the company now.”
Xie Mingjun drove back to the old house, her father’s mansion.
Mr. Xie was having dinner. When he saw her back, Mr. Xie was overjoyed. He hurriedly said to Aunt Lin, “Make two more dishes.” Then he asked Xie Mingjun with a smile, “I don’t want to say anything in advance when I come back. Let Aunt Lin cook two dishes.”
“I didn’t plan to come back today, I have something to do in the middle.” Xie Mingjun took off her coat and hung it on the hanger. She went to pour a cup of tea first, with a smile on her face, she seemed to be in a good mood.
Mr. Xie asked, “Have you seen friends today?”
Xie Mingjun has been developing abroad in the past few years. When she comes back, she will not do anything else except to see friends, and she seldom returns home.
“No, I went to Dongyin School.” Xie Mingjun said.
“Huh?” Mr. Xie turned his head to look at her. He hadn’t heard the name for a long time. Two or three years were enough for a person to forget it.
When he was about to speak, Aunt Lin brought out a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, and Aunt Lin said, “You two eat first, I’ll go get it later, and I want to drink a bar. It happened that I brought fresh peanuts from my hometown and gave them to you. Get a plate.”
Xie Mingjun nodded and opened the gift box next to the sofa. She looked at Mr. Xie, “Drink?”
“Okay.” Mr. Xie smiled.
Both of their cups were filled with wine, Xie Mingjun was holding chopsticks, she was eating, and Mr. Xie was looking at her while feeling relieved.
When Aunt Lin brought the peanuts over, Mr. Xie said, “Your Uncle Nan’s son is also studying in your school. If he has nothing to do, he can have a meal and get in touch so that we can help each other.”
When Mr. Xie said it, he kept looking at Xie Mingjun, quite implying her meaning.
Xie Mingjun ate the vegetables and asked, “How old are you?”
“Twenty-four, I’ll be younger than you.” Mr. Xie said, taking a sip of wine without hesitation, observing Xie Mingjun’s mood all the time.
“I’m already twenty-four years old, and I have no hands or feet. We need to help each other. I can live well in the past two or three years, but he can’t do well? Or do you want him to join the company? I will take the overseas position. Give it to him.”
Mr. Xie laughed, “Hahahaha, even if they keep talking nonsense, it doesn’t matter if they don’t want to know each other, you are still young.”
Xie Mingjun took another sip of his wine, “I’m serious, if you fancy him, I’ll give him the position, and I’m going to come back.”
Mr. Xie frowned, feeling that he didn’t understand Xie Mingjun’s words, “Mingjun, if you’re not happy, I’ll reject him now, don’t get angry with your father, and finally come back.”
Xie Mingjun smiled: “What do I have to do?”
She was a little speechless, and Mr. Xie couldn’t understand it. He didn’t know what Xie Mingjun was going to do. Originally, it was a good thing for Xie Mingjun to come back, but now he doesn’t want Xie Mingjun to come back, “Overseas, you are doing well, now It has also become a major sales place. I plan to hand over several overseas companies to you, and other shareholders think so too…”
“That’s even better. If you hand over the domestic branch to me, I believe the shareholders will agree. Next week, you can have a good time to announce this matter.” Xie Mingjun said.
“Ming Jun!” Mr. Xie raised his voice.
On the surface, he said it well, but in reality there was a fire in his heart.
Looking at each other, Xie Mingjun held the cup and took a sip, resting his chin on the back of his hand, “Isn’t what you said at the beginning, I will work hard, you will give me the company, and now I have finished the overseas company, what about you? Of course, I didn’t ask you to give me the company now, but I can always have the position of the CEO of the headquarters, right?”
It is easy for her to recover her current strength. If Mr. Xie stops him, it is estimated that others will be puzzled, wondering if he deliberately exiled Xie Mingjun to a foreign country, how could he treat his daughter like this?
Mr. Xie made a glass of wine, filled it up again, and said, “Mr. Ming, are you angry at Dad, you said you went to Dongyin School. It’s been so long, why do you still hold this grudge?”
Xie Mingjun looked at him, his lips moved.
“Is it yours to take revenge?”
“Don’t you know what you did yourself? Didn’t you target her at the beginning? You didn’t call her school to say she was **** and forced her to come out in front of her mentor? You didn’t put pressure on her at the company. Are you scared that she keeps talking nonsense with a high fever? How powerful are you, how can you hide, how vicious you are, you want to destroy her directly! If it wasn’t for her teacher suggesting to me today, I would still be trapped by you Drum!”
“Did I really want to be with Zou Yuxi at the beginning? Didn’t you keep saying, keep saying, keep saying that Zou Yuxi is a good man, you said that you understand his temperament, and that the two families can help each other. Otherwise, I will stay with him. Together? Later, when you say ‘you like it’, it becomes that I love Zou Yuxi very much, and it becomes that you forgive me.”
“Have you considered what I want? I just want someone to spend the rest of my life with me, how can I have so many pursuits, even if I have pursuits, you can cut me off. You said let me go abroad, I said If you don’t want to think about domestic development, you can find a way to put me in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and over time, I will live as you want.”
“You said you wanted me to ascend to the high position of the emperor, but in reality, throw me abroad, give me an empty shell, others start from the grassroots, I start from scratch, now I can come back, and you stop it. In the end, do you love me, or for your own face, in order to satisfy your own vanity, in order to become a good father in everyone’s heart, so you can dominate my life at will. Listen to how many people praise you now, thank the director for your good education .”
“Dong Yin left, I hated her, and I also hated myself running out to study, but I hated myself more, the powerless myself, I wanted her to tell me everything, but I didn’t take the initiative to ask her what she should say. Why should she tell me anything. Do you want her to tell me, Xie Mingjun, that your father doesn’t like me very much, has he always wanted to destroy me? “
“When my mother was sick, you sent it to my aunt. She scolded me every day, and you didn’t see it. You treated their family as a benefactor for the sake of face. Have you ever thought about whether I would not? You thought about me at all. Don’t you want to see their family? I went to college, and you made it clear that I would fall in love with whom I majored in. When I was confused and depressed, you would only say, “Ming Jun, Dad will give you money. From the beginning to the end In the end, you always say as long as I like it, but when did you really ask, Ming Jun, what do you like?”
“You want me to be good as a father, what about me? I’m not trying to balance family and love, you can just say what’s good, but I hold back until I have the ability to tell you? Because you are my father, You can just hurt me, if I do something that hurts you a little bit, it would be rebellious.”
Xie Mingjun looked at him, lowered her head again, and loosened her clenched fists. After all, these words were kept in her heart, and she didn’t say a word, like all children who quarrel with their parents.
Parents will say, “Get out of here and find a better parent”, but children rarely say “Get out of here, I’m going to find a better parent”. Parents speak of their love as noble, but very Don’t think about the inappropriateness of this love.
At this moment, Xie Mingjun swallowed the words into her stomach, like a calm and steady adult, she raised the cup in her hand and said with a smile: “You don’t do that kind of succession to the throne, I know you feel bad for me and want to I will have someone to help me in the future, I understand. When Dong Yin comes back, she becomes stronger, and I also take a firm seat. At that time, you go out and blow, oh my, how powerful are my two daughters, one protects the country and the other protects the family, and I am a winner in my life. You are at the forefront of the world, so many people can’t envy you.”
Mr. Xie looked at Xie Mingjun in astonishment. He knew his own daughter more clearly. He suddenly said this, didn’t he mock him?
No matter how he looked, he could only see the smile on Xie Mingjun’s face.
This feeling is very familiar, he looks at Xie Mingjun as if he is looking at himself. Saying it nicely is called being able to judge the situation and speak with patience. She has become mature, and it is hypocrisy to say that it is unpleasant, and she is an old fox.
“What are you thinking?” Xie Mingjun touched him with a glass of wine, “Dad, drink it.”
Mr. Xie looked at it for a long time and said, “This wine…”
“It’s not as good as those wines in your collection, but the taste is justified, try it.” Xie Mingjun said with a smile, he did it first, and then he ate slowly, “You don’t have to worry about me, now I’m doing a good job. Right, I’ll take your place sooner or later.”
After that, Xie Mingjun didn’t want to talk to him about this anymore. She felt that the copper odor on his father exuded an unbearable decay. She did not reject the copper odor on others. Everyone had it, and she herself Yes, but her dad smelled particularly bad.
Mr. Xie said: “I haven’t believed it for three years, you really think…”
“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, I believe it.” Xie Mingjun looked at him seriously, “Where am I, where is her home, she will definitely come back.”
“During this period of time, I have been working hard, and I have been unwilling to stop. I am afraid that I will not be able to reach that height one day.”
Xie Mingjun said stubbornly: “I believe she will stand very high, and she doesn’t need anyone’s evaluation.”
The wine flowed into the stomach, Mr. Xie didn’t taste it, Xie Mingjun walked upstairs after eating, and the smile on the corner of his mouth didn’t go down.
At night, Mr. Xie couldn’t sleep. He put on his coat and went to the balcony. Xie Mingjun also came out to blow air, pressing his hand on the railing, as if he was blowing away the alcohol on his body, and he seemed to be thinking about who and who in the distance.
Mr. Xie felt that her father and daughter were very similar. In his early years, he also thought about his deceased wife, and he couldn’t reconcile with himself. He was always thinking about it. I don’t think they are so similar. Xie Mingjun is more like a deceased wife, and has a solitary courage.
In the drunken night, their father and daughter got along much more harmoniously than expected. It stands to reason that they should have had a fight, but now they firmly hold the words in their throats, and then digest them separately.
He didn’t know what a disappeared person would develop into, or he stubbornly felt that the choice he gave Xie Mingjun was the best. I just sighed and wondered if I was just thinking about giving her money.
Xie Mingjun looked at the stars in the sky, twinkling, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. She took another sip of wine and was slightly drunk tonight.
·
As for the words on the wine table, Mr. Xie forgot all about it when he looked back. In retrospect, he just felt that his daughter was hurt by this relationship, and because of Xie Mingjun’s character, he couldn’t say it directly.
However, Mr. Xie did not expect the slap in the face to be so fast.
On weekends, he pushed several invitations and sat on the balcony of his house to bask in the sun. He felt that the father and daughter had gotten along less in the past two years, which led to differences in thinking, and was thinking about how to ease it.
Aunt Lin brought a cup of tea over and said, “The tea that Ning’an brought in in the early spring is very fragrant. You can try it. When Ming-Jun wakes up, you can go out for a walk with Ming-Jun.”
Mr. Xie responded, and just as he was about to drink, the news broadcast began to broadcast the talks between the two countries, and the Gringo babbled a lot.
He scolded, “These dogs really treat themselves as human beings, and they dare to challenge us with anything.”
Aunt Lin followed suit, “It’s just that she takes herself too seriously. I read on the Internet and said that our country has grown, and they are afraid to provoke them again and again.”
Mr. Xie nodded and said, “This leader is not bad.”
The male leader’s voice was unhurried and full of energy, followed by the diplomatic interpreter. The interpreter was a female voice, flexible and flexible, and powerfully reproduced the speech made by the leader.
Even if she speaks another language, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is not petty at all.
Speaking for more than ten minutes, he spoke fluently and imposingly.
Mr. Xie thought about it for a while, feeling very familiar, as if he had been attacked like this before, he got up curiously, walked from the balcony to the living room, and stood behind the sofa to take a closer look.
In the camera, a short-haired woman in a suit is facing the camera. She manages the shorthand at hand, staring at the opposite with a pair of big eyes, her eyes are firm and sharp, and her words are hard enough, “…Thisismystrength, frommycountry…”
