Looking at the backs of Lu Chixiao and his group, Lin Yujuan bit her lower lip and tears almost came out of her eyes.
"Xiaojuan, is he the one you mentioned last time..." my best friend Feng Zhenzhen asked tentatively.
"Yeah." Lin Yujuan choked up and responded, "I've liked him for a long time. His family is the same as mine. Last time, his grandfather and my grandfather discussed and arranged for us to go on a blind date, but he broke the appointment..."
The more she talked, the sadder she became, her tears falling down like broken beads.
"Since both families agree, why don't we just let you get engaged and get married?" My best friend asked puzzledly, "Although free marriage is advocated now, don't most parents still make the decision?"
"The situation in his family is different." Lin Yujuan said with sobs, "His eldest brother was seriously injured on a mission a few years ago and has been in a coma. He inherited his eldest brother's ambition and went out to make a living. He has not been able to spend time at home these years.
He spends a lot of time away from home. His mother told my mother that as long as he wants, we don’t have to choose what kind of wife he marries. As a result, he really wants to marry a country woman who is inferior to me in everything... woo woo woo!"
"Ah? You said that the girl just now came from the country? You can't tell at all. I'm still guessing which family's daughter she is. She has such a good temperament!" Feng Zhenzhen murmured with her cheeks in her hands like a nymphomaniac.
"Feng Zhenzhen! Whose side are you on?" Lin Yujuan couldn't help but get angry.
"Oh, of course I'm on your side." Feng Zhenzhen immediately comforted her and asked, "Is he holding his child in his arms? Oh, Xiaojuan, why don't you give up? You see, he already has children. This marriage
It’s 80% settled. It’s hard to find a three-legged toad, but are you worried that there won’t be a two-legged man?”
Lin Yujuan wiped away her tears and kicked the pebbles at her feet depressedly: "But I just can't let go! How am I worse than that woman? Isn't it just that I look better, my skin is whiter, my figure..."
Looking at it in detail, it seems that everything is better than her.
Except for family background - but the Lu family clearly doesn't care about this.
Lin Yujuan became even more depressed.
…
In that compartment, Xu Suizhu and his party entered the Forbidden City and chatted while walking around.
Rest in the corridor along the way.
Xu Xiuyuan had three urgent needs, so Lin Guodong went with her.
Lu Chixiao helped Little Baozi learn to walk in the long corridor where no one passed by.
Xu Suizhu sat aside and watched quietly.
The atmosphere was a bit subtle, so subtle that the air seemed to be stagnant.
Suddenly, Xu Suizhu heard him say: "That one just now is the granddaughter of my grandfather's former colleague. I don't remember her name."
Xu Suizhu looked at him, was he explaining to her?
He simply picked up the little guy and sat next to her.
"What I said before is true: I have never dated anyone, I have no ambiguous relationship, and I have no so-called friends of the opposite sex." Lu Chixiao tilted his head and looked at her beautiful profile, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Teacher Xu, this
On the other hand, I promise that I am a three-no product."
"..."
Little Baozi probably felt that he was being left out, so he crawled between the two of them desperately, "Ping! Ping!"
This is what Mr. Lu said.
Xu Suizhu couldn't help laughing.
Just laugh!
Lu Chixiao looked at her beautiful smile and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
After visiting the Forbidden City, the sky became dark.
On the way back, Xu Suizhu finally remembered a serious matter that she had completely forgotten when she saw the calendar advertisement on the tram stop.
"The seminar is in two days."
She patted her forehead, but luckily she remembered it, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing. Isn't this the original intention of you coming all the way to Kyoto? But it turned out that you forgot about it, and if you tell me about it, you will probably be laughed to death.
"Auntie, Doudou, please keep an eye on your uncle."
"Don't worry." Xu Xiuyuan responded.
Even if the niece doesn't say anything, they will try their best to take care of her.
Besides, there are also the in-laws. As long as the mother-in-law doesn’t go out, she will hold the little one in her arms and never let go. Occasionally, when we visit, she will hold the little one with her. At the end of the day, it feels like nothing has happened to either of them.
"Where? I'll take you there." How could Mr. Lu miss the opportunity to be alone with his child's mother and build a good impression of her at the same time.
Xu Suizhu thought about it and did not refuse.
The meeting location is the Graduate School of Kyoto University of Foreign Studies.
In the big capital city of the 1990s, she didn't know how to change trains to reach her destination. If she was late, there would be boss Lao Lu.
The seminar lasts for three days in total, and teachers from other places will be provided with food and accommodation by the organizer.
Xu Suizhu is part of the delegation from Province Z and should accept unified arrangements.
However, when Lu Chixiao sent her there, he informed the organizer that she was no longer under jurisdiction and was completely free.
"Xiaojuan, look! Isn't that what we encountered that day at the Forbidden City..." Feng Zhenzhen desperately elbowed Lin Yujuan.
Lin Yujuan raised her eyes and saw that it was Brother Lu. What was he doing here?
Just as she was about to step forward to say hello, the next second, she saw Brother Lu walking towards a woman, and then the two of them walked towards the lecture theater talking and laughing. When they reached the door, the two stopped, and Brother Lu gave the woman
After adjusting her collar, she lowered her head and said something softly. The woman glared at Brother Lu and then went in. Brother Lu left after seeing her go in.
"So, that woman is also a teacher? She came to participate in the National Excellent Teachers Seminar?" Feng Zhenzhen couldn't help but said excitedly.
Lin Yujuan looked at her depressedly: "What are you happy about?"
"Oh, Xiaojuan, the Art of War says: Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Now is a good time to know yourself and the enemy! If you want to defeat her and take back your sweetheart, why don't you get to know her first?"
Lin Yujuan didn't think this was of any use. It seemed impossible for her and Brother Lu.
I talked to her grandpa yesterday. What her grandpa meant was that the Lu family recognized this daughter-in-law and there would be no possibility of changing it.
"Go in!" Feng Zhenzhen pushed her and whispered an idea, "I heard from my uncle that an on-site exchange competition was arranged on the last day of the seminar. Delegations from various places will form teams at will to communicate in English on the spot. The winner will receive a prize."
Lin Yujuan didn't care about the prize at all, what she cared about was that she wanted to defeat that woman.
National seminars are very different from teaching and research activities and symposiums held in small places.
In the lecture theater, which can accommodate one to two hundred people, there is a row of guest seats on the podium, and below are English teachers from all over the country and all over the world.
The scene is quite grand, and the seating arrangement is also particular - the first few rows are dedicated seats for national special-grade teachers; the following rows are for provincial and municipal special-grade teachers, outstanding teachers who have not yet been crowned with the title of special-grade teachers. The last row is for reserved seats.
Those who listen to the new seedlings who are about to join the ranks of gardeners are often related households.
Xu Suizhu found his own name tag: playing at the back of the midfield, with outstanding teachers from all over the front and back rows.
