The family all understood the significance of this trip to them, so Huang Xin said she wanted to take care of the child. Shi Wenjun said it was inconvenient, Leonie said she couldn't afford it, and even Kang Si, who was working as a dispatcher on the front line at the Liaoyang Papermaking Base,
They all said they were very busy.
There is no ceremony, no guests are invited, no wedding photos are taken, and there is not even a formal wedding day. If getting a certificate is considered a marriage, then the date is uncertain. If there is a date that must be confirmed, then it is yesterday, which is 2012.
July 21st was the day they met Xu Qinglian’s parents in Yingkou.
Although this was the wish of the two people, Wang Ai repeatedly asked Xu Qinglian if he felt aggrieved, and he didn't have to do it. Xu Qinglian told him every time: I really don't want it!
But in the eyes of others, the family relationship has entered a new stage, and how to get along harmoniously in the future is something that everyone must seriously consider. No matter what the considerations are, the two of them handled it in a low-key manner out of love for them. So this trip
The trip to London, even if Wang Ai went with an organizational mission, in the eyes of his family, it was still a honeymoon trip for him and Xu Qinglian.
With many years of foreshadowing, the two started again at a fast pace this time: the moment Wang Ai entered the simple female cadre dormitory on the fourth floor of the Daqing base, as of yesterday, it had only been more than 20 days in total, and the two had spent
The process of getting to know, fall in love and get married again.
Before June 29, both of them felt that they would never see each other again.
Thinking about these thoughts, the two people clinging to each other said nothing, silently looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
"Have you brought the keys?" Xu Qinglian, who was a little sleepy after adjusting to the jet lag, asked before going to bed.
Wang Ai silently patted the small bag he carried with him: "Go to sleep."
When the plane landed at Heathrow Airport, it was the morning of July 22, London time. According to the arrangement of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, Wang Ai will run in southeast London tomorrow. This is also a respect for his status. Because
The torch relay is more important the further it goes, and the closer it is to the host city, London, and the main stadium, the more critical it is. On the night of the opening ceremony, the torch will be delivered to the main stadium by a speedboat from the Thames River, and the person driving the speedboat is actually Beckham!
Other Chinese or Chinese torchbearers are mainly distributed in the first half of the 70-day torch relay. Only a handful of people with deep connections to London can run in the Greater London area. Wang Ai is one of them, and he is also the most well-known at the public level.
China's Torchbearers.
The reason for giving Wang Ai such treatment is self-evident. He is one of the top three players in football today. If it weren't for the fact that he is Chinese, Beckham's position should be given to him, and he should even enter the main stadium.
He even ran the last leg. At the same time, he once played for Chelsea, a London team and a new giant that has emerged in the Premier League in recent years. It was during his time that Chelsea won the unprecedented "Five Crowns." At the same time, in the process
, he created one great record after another, which still shines brightly in the history of the Premier League.
In addition, at the closing ceremony of the last BJ Olympics, Wang Ai was the player who handed over the flag. It was he who delivered the Olympic flag from outside the venue to the venue, and it was handed over to London Mayor Johnson by officials of the Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee. At that time, the two
They also exchanged a few simple greetings.
It is precisely because of the special arrangements and invitations from the London Olympic Organizing Committee that the Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee, after considering the voices of fans, gave Wang Ai an "organizational task" and required him to accept the invitation of the London Olympic Organizing Committee to attend after running the torch.
Opening ceremony and try to appear in the stands at as many Olympic games as possible.
After coming out of the airport, Wang Ai went to the Chinese Embassy first and met with Ambassador Liu Xiaoming, who succeeded Ambassador Fu three years ago. The two sides reviewed the timetable. Ambassador Liu gave Wang Ai some routine warnings in his organizational capacity, such as not to cause trouble.
Ah, you can't cause trouble, you can't cause trouble. Anyway, Wang Ai listened with a smile. After listening, he said that he would honestly be a bridge of friendship between the two countries and would never cause trouble to the organization.
After the work process was completed, the atmosphere relaxed. Ambassador Liu asked with great interest about Wang Ai's life in London and some things about today's football world. In London's heyday, there were six Premier League teams.
It is impossible to ignore football when working in the city. At the same time, football fans are the largest single group of people in the world. The benefits of having a superstar are unimaginable. Since Chinese fans can appreciate the skills of Western stars, they will also appreciate the country where the league is located.
If the country where his nationality is located has a favorable impression, then fans in Europe and other parts of the world will also look at Wang Ai in the same way: as long as they appreciate Wang Ai's skills, they will not hate his skin color, and as long as they do not hate his skin color, they will definitely accept his Chineseness.
identity.
And after accepting Wang Ai's Chinese identity, he will inevitably develop a good impression of China.
Therefore, even if he says nothing, as long as he is there, this effect will continue.
The conversation continued until noon, when Ambassador Liu invited Wang Ai to dinner and happily accepted the food presented by Wang Ai on behalf of the embassy kitchen.
After finally confirming tomorrow's itinerary, Wang Ai said goodbye to Ambassador Liu and went to the London Olympic Organizing Committee to receive his VIP joint package, which was said to be priced at up to 270,000 pounds... In fact, it was too expensive and not many were sold, so he went to
Wang Ai, this is actually a free ticket.
Of course, it is not a free ticket, and Wang Ai is not that rare. 270,000 pounds is quite expensive, but it is more than 2.6 million yuan. If you have time to watch a game, Wang Ai can earn back by attending any business event.
After receiving the ticket, Wang Ai politely declined the hotel arrangement from the London Olympic Organizing Committee, got in a rented car, crossed the Thames River and arrived outside a quiet community.
Xu Qinglian held Wang Ai's arm and looked up for a moment, then Wang Ai stuffed a key into her hand: "Come on, let's see if your old house has changed."
This was one of Wang Ai's three properties in London. It was Xu Qinglian, Tang Mudan, and Liu Dingxiang's second house in London. It was also the house where Wang Ai originally planned to give himself a rest on game days. After Wang Ai left,
Neither the house here nor in Cobham was sold. I thought I would come to London to work and have a place to live, but I didn't expect to revisit the old place until today.
Taking the key, Xu Qinglian stepped forward: "You haven't stayed here since?"
“It’s the main hotel if I come here occasionally.”
Xu Qinglian tilted her head and looked at Wang Ai, then pursed her lips and smiled. In the three years since she left, Wang Ai must not have wanted to think of things related to her, just like she had been avoiding news about Wang Ai for a time.
Walking into the community and walking downstairs, a thin figure stood alone.
Xu Qinglian let go of Wang Ai's hand and looked in surprise at the figure in front of her who had begun to wipe her tears: "Lilac?"
