It’s approaching the beginning of June, and it’s almost like summer in Amsterdam.
In less than two months, she can leave the Netherlands and return to Beijing. During these two months, she will participate in the awards ceremony of the Dutch competition, and the specific list of winners will be announced at the award ceremony.
The students are very optimistic about her work.
Some even asserted that this year's first prize winner in the news portrait category must be her.
She takes very little notice of the reputation and achievements outside her body. The regret of missing out last year has long since disappeared as she found her lover on the Forgotten River. Everything depends on fate, I gain it but I lose it. With this kind of feeling,
If you look at the problem with an attitude, you will not have entangled thoughts.
While Conway was hospitalized, she had to contact him every night. Judging by his voice, he was in excellent spirits and always in high spirits. He often joked through the phone to make her happy.
When she learned that his examination needed to be postponed, she was a little worried and wanted to talk to Professor Liu, but he blocked her with words. Two days later, he took the initiative to call and said that all his indicators were normal and he could be discharged from the hospital.
Already.
Hearing that there was nothing unusual about him, and with a nurse standing by to testify, she had no choice but to give up.
Being in a foreign country, she could give him very little care.
After he was discharged from the hospital, Conway disappeared for a while. After a week, the two contacted him. Gu Mengmeng asked him where he had been in the past few days? Was he on another mission?
He replied no, it was a closed training and he was the guide, with no contact with the outside world.
As a military wife, she knew a soldier's mission and sense of responsibility. She didn't complain a word, but thoughtfully told him to take care of his health.
In the days after that, until now, nearly a month, he has not contacted her again.
During this period, He Tuan called and said that Conway had gone to Shaanxi to participate in the army's field training competition, but he was there as a judge, so she didn't need to worry. This year's field training competition will be long and may last three months.
time. He Tuan explained that because the signal was not working, she might be suffering from lovesickness again.
This little bit of suffering was nothing compared to the suffering he had endured.
So, on the phone, she solemnly promised He Tuan that she would never disturb Conway's work before returning to China.
Time passed day by day, and her lectures in the Netherlands were coming to an end.
The organizing committee specially arranged time for the three teachers to take a vacation, and together with the award ceremony, the course only took one month to successfully complete the task and return to the motherland.
Taking advantage of her rare vacation time, she embarked on a self-guided travel trip to the Netherlands.
Amsterdam strippenkaart, also known as the legendary grid ticket, can be used on buses throughout the Netherlands. There are special pink tickets for children and the elderly. When taking a bus, tell the driver where you want to go and he will help you.
Calculate how many grids are needed for the whole process, and then mark the grids.
At the bus station, she saw a beautiful little Dutch girl riding the bus next to her mother with a checkered ticket in her hand.
In the Netherlands, when children take trains, as long as they are accompanied by an adult, they can buy a child ticket for 2 euros, which can be used for one day.
She followed them into the car and went to Dam Square, a landmark building in Amsterdam. When she arrived, it might be a Dutch festival, and the square in front of the palace became a playground, with various thrilling rides.
People screamed one after another. On the opposite side of the Dam Square, a large group of people gathered, sitting leisurely around the national monument built to commemorate World War II.
She found a secluded corner and sat under a shady tree to look at the surrounding scenery.
To be honest, the square is very shabby, but the flocks of white pigeons add a touch of brightness to the shabby appearance. The little girl who just held the checkered ticket put sugar cookies in her hands and ran away happily, chased by the pigeons.
Her smile was bright and pure, lighting up the world with the unique brightness of a European child.
She was about to take out her camera and take pictures.
The little girl dodged the pigeons and ran towards her.
The ground was bumpy and uneven, and before she had time to remind the little girl to pay attention to her steps, she had already screamed and fell.
Gu Mengmeng felt a pain in her heart and immediately stood up to help the little Dutch girl who had fallen below her knees.
"Does it hurt?" she asked.
The little girl shook her head, looked around for her mother who was buying ice cream, bit her lip and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Gu Mengmeng bent down, dipped a clean handkerchief into the clean water from the water pipe next to the square, and wiped away the dirt for her.
"Just go back and apply some alcohol to disinfect it." She leaned down and blew gently on it like she did when she was a child treating Gu Jingxi's wounds.
"Can I kiss you? Beautiful foreign aunt." The little girl blinked and asked.
"Yeah, okay." She raised her waist slightly and hugged the little body that was leaning towards her.
Warm, with the pure and transparent natural smell of a child, it penetrated into the tip of her nose.
"Thank you. My mother is here. Mom-------" She straightened up and ran towards the Dutch woman holding ice cream in both hands.
She said a few words to her mother, then pulled her mother over.
"Thank you for helping my daughter."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. She is very brave and I like her very much."
"Here, this is for you. The most famous nectar paradise ice cream on the streets of Holland!"
The girl's mother forced a vanilla egg roll into her hand, took her daughter and left.
Gu Mengmeng smiled slightly, sat back on the chair in the square, and put the sweetest part of the egg roll into her mouth.
"Hiss---------" Her face suddenly changed.
I was so carried away that I forgot about the recent toothache caused by poor sleep.
Waves of sour water filled her mouth, and the side of her headache felt like needles pricking her, causing her entire scalp to feel numb and swollen.
The phone vibrated in her pocket. She was slightly startled, but endured the toothache and took it out of her pocket.
Qin Yun?
Why is it her?
"Hello, I am Gu Mengmeng, is this Qin Yun?"
"it's me."
"What's the matter?" The warm sunshine was blocked by a trace of dark clouds, and the surrounding area of the square, which looked like gold just now, became dark now.
"Conway will arrive at Amsterdam Airport tomorrow afternoon to undergo surgery by Dr. Kentoko, the father of brain surgery. You'd better be prepared."
