After reading Tong Hua's "Those Young Times I Can't Go Back", I couldn't let go of the open ending. I read it as a romance novel, and always hope that people in love can get together. After reading it, I looked for a lot of book reviews and information about the author. I can understand and agree with everyone's analysis. I can even accept such an ending in real life, but I don't want to see the parting of ways in the novel.
Many people say that the first time you read it, the second time you read it, the feeling will be different, but the first time I read it, I still prefer Zhang Jun. Therefore, in order to satisfy my own regrets, I stubbornly imagined their perfect ending.
1
Qiqi finished washing all the stones, put the iron box on her lap, picked them up one by one, looked at them again, and put them back one by one. .
Zhang Jun knew that he gave Qiqi that iron box and those stones. Ten years later, she took these stones and sat by the river where they often came. Did she think in her heart? Is it also yourself?
After squatting for too long, his legs were a little numb. Zhang Jun sat casually on the ground and glanced at the other side of the river through the grass from time to time. After missing the initial impulse, he no longer had the courage to go out, so he could only stay with Qiqi silently. Just like many years ago, when he was in a bad mood and stood on the bridge throwing stones, Qiqi was accompanying him under the bridge, although he didn't know it at the time. He thought it was good that he could still see her. This was a dream he didn't want to wake up from so many times.
Qiqi rested her legs on the river bank, playing with her feet in the water like she did when she was a child. She sometimes glanced at the bridge. It was already dark, and she had no intention of leaving yet. She had been sitting here since Zhang Jun came here, and she hadn't even eaten dinner. As the time got later and later, Qiqi looked at the bridge more and more frequently, and occasionally looked at her watch. She was waiting for someone. Who was she waiting for? Zhang Jun even wondered if she had discovered him and had been waiting for him to stand up on his own.
When I was debating whether to stand up or not, I heard someone call "Qiqi?" The deep voice sounded cautious.
Qiqi was stunned for a moment, quickly retracted her legs, stood up, and watched the tall and thin figure walking over. "Xiaobo?"
"It's me, I'm sorry, Qiqi, I'm late!"
"It's not too late, it's never too late as long as you're here. "Qiqi's voice choked up.
Xiao Bo stretched out his hand and wanted to rub her hair, but halfway out, he suddenly realized that he was no longer a child. He retracted his hand and patted her shoulder, "Qiqi I have really grown up."
Their voices were not loud, but in this silent night, Zhang Jun could still vaguely hear the conversation on the other side. It turns out that Qiqi is really waiting for someone, but it's not him. It turns out that the purpose of revisiting her old place is to find Xiaobo in her heart. Maybe she has already forgotten her. During that relationship, the only one I could never forget was myself. He couldn't stand the pain in his heart and couldn't stay here anymore and listen to them talk to each other.
After maintaining the same posture for a long time, Zhang Jun's body became a little stiff. After a while, he stood up shakily and walked quickly towards his car in an embarrassed manner.
Qiqi seemed to have a sense of it. She looked back to the other side, only to see a vague but memorable figure passing by. Her heartbeat accelerated and she was a little disbelieving. Is that Zhang Jun? Why do you see him here at this time? Could it be that he has been here for so many years and never left?
Xiaobo asked: "What's wrong?"
The figure had disappeared, "I just saw someone on the other side, it seemed to be Zhang Jun."
Listen Xiaobo was a little nervous when he heard the name. He knew that many years ago, Qiqi liked Zhang Jun and had deep feelings for him. Zhang Jun also loved her deeply. Seeing Qiqi's expression, the confidence encouraged by Brother Li, and the courage of self-suggestion slowly weakened, he seemed to see the little girl outside the skating rink who was dejected because of Zhang Jun. Brother Li said that the gap between him and Qiqi is not that big, and they can still get back together across the Pacific Ocean. However, they all forgot that if the person Qiqi loved was not themselves, no matter how hard they tried, it would be of no avail, and it had nothing to do with distance.
Xiaobo turned to look at the other side of the river. There was no one there, "Did you see it wrong? I heard that after graduating from high school, Zhang Jun went to college elsewhere, and later worked elsewhere and rarely came back. , I have not seen him in these years.
"
Qiqi smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I saw it wrong. Let's go and have some food with me. I'm hungry! ”
Zhang Jun didn’t know how he left the river. He just drove the car aimlessly on the street. Later, he was really tired and saw a hotel on the roadside and checked in.< /p>
Today was like a roller coaster ride. The words in the lucky star made him ecstatic. He rushed here quickly and actually saw Qiqi. All the memories and longings came flooding back. , he watched her secretly all night with complicated emotions, coveting the close and silent companionship with her, even if she didn't know it.
However, Xiaobo's arrival was like a touhou. A basin of cold water was poured on them. They made up for classes together, went home together, the stones they picked up by the river, and the movies they watched together... all slowly faded into the background. Instead, Qiqi and Xiaobo's affectionate duet, She danced with him, they went in and out of the karaoke hall together, and reviewed their homework together during the summer vacation... When he was a freshman in high school, he was afraid that Ma Li would find someone to deal with Qiqi, so he followed her quietly every night. Later, she seemed to be aware of it, and faced the void, The name he called out was "Xiaobo". He always knew that Xiaobo was a special existence in Qiqi's heart.
That's fine, Zhang Jun comforted himself, at least Xiaobo was true to Qiqi. Good. In order not to affect Qiqi's future, I broke off the relationship with her. If it wasn't for the depth of love, Xiaobo was also a good person. He had never done anything extraordinary in a mixed environment. He had himself. With his persistence and principles, no matter how difficult the conditions are, he can always stick to his true heart. Qiqi and Xiaobo are together, and he is relieved.
However, his reason told him this, and he felt so strong in his heart. The sadness made him breathless. After so many years of indifference and no contact, he silently told himself that if Qiqi could take care of herself, be independent and independent, she would live a good life and find love. Her person will definitely be happy, and he can just think about it and bless her alone in his heart. However, when he actually sees Qiqi with another man, he realizes that he still can't accept it. It's really cruel! p>
Zhang Jun thought of the suitcase he brought back and found the lucky star bottle. He needed those loving words to relieve the overwhelming heartache, and he needed sweet memories to forget the unbearable sadness at this moment.
< p> He continued to open the lucky stars one by one, like a fool, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, sometimes carefully rummaging through the notes he had just read, and then comparing them with each other, connecting them with the context, and thinking about this. The meaning behind the sentence.Two
The next day, Zhang Jun was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. After briefly talking to his colleagues about business, he looked at his surroundings carefully. The contents of the suitcase were placed haphazardly on the bed, and the lucky star notes were curled up everywhere. Some of them were still pressed under him. He quickly got up and put those notes away carefully. He wanted to fold the strips of paper and turn them into beautiful stars. However, it was easy to fold them, and after several struggles, he finally folded them into several. But it didn't look like it. Zhang Jun was a little frustrated. Thinking of what he saw last night, he felt even more depressed.
After a night, he still hadn’t figured out where to go. What was certain was that he didn’t want to leave. Qiqi was here and he couldn’t bear to leave. Simply pack up, take your phone and go out.
Zhang Jun called Teacher Gao and made an appointment to see her. Although he has not had much contact over the years, he still insists on paying New Year greetings to Teacher Gao in the third year of junior high school. Sometimes he will send New Year greetings on the phone when he does not come back. Teacher Gao said, "Have you made an appointment with Qiqi again? I just met her the day before yesterday, and you came here today."
"Qiqi...is she okay?"
"Have you not seen her yet? She looks pretty good. She is in the United States now. It is not easy to come back. If you have a chance, let's meet her."
Zhang Jun smiled and said nothing. , Qiqi still wants to see her?
After leaving Teacher Gao’s house, Zhang Jun came to No. 1 Middle School again. In 6 years, he left too many precious memories here. After graduation, he never went in again. Today, he walked slowly along the school gate and wall. At this time, several teenagers suddenly jumped down from a fence. It was obvious that they had skipped school and slipped out. When they saw Zhang Jun, they thought he was a teacher, but they didn't recognize him, so they timidly picked up the schoolbags on the ground.
Zhang Jun smiled, "Where are you going? Do you want to play games in the Internet cafe?" No one said anything, and he added: "Come back early to study if you have fun. Otherwise, if you meet someone who wants to catch up in the future, you may have to pay a thousand times. "No matter how hard we try, we can't save it."
Later, Zhang Jun climbed in along the wall they came down from.
The campus is different from ten years ago, but he can still find the basketball court where he sweated like rain, the playground where they once had military training, and the table tennis table where Qiqi stood for punishment... The past events followed his footsteps frame by frame. The frame passes by as if it was yesterday or a lifetime ago.
After he left No. 1 Middle School, he continued to wander on the streets without driving. Walking felt like he was still walking on the streets when he was 19 years old. However, the scene on the street has changed beyond recognition, just like his heart is riddled with holes and he can't find his direction. The buildings on the roadside have become taller, and the road underfoot has become wider. The skating rink that used to be a cabaret, dance hall, movie theater, etc. can no longer be found. Zhang Jun walked and identified, trying to match the scene in his memory. Suddenly, the four words "On the Water Side" came into view. This is the only sign that has not changed. No, it has not changed. At that time, "On the Water Side" was a dance hall with feasting and feasting, but the "On the Water Side" in front of us was a quaint bookstore.
With strong curiosity, Zhang Jun stepped into the door. There are two clerks, one is arranging books, and the other is arranging the coffee table in the rest area. Seeing him come in, the clerk who was clearing the coffee table did not put down his work, but smiled at him and said, "Just take a look."
He nodded, walked inside, looked at the books on the shelf, picked up one, and flipped through it. I vaguely heard the sound of someone talking and laughing inside. Looking for the sound, I walked in unconsciously and found a billiard table at the end. Next to the billiard table was a table with several people sitting around chatting.
Brother Li said, "Qiqi, you see, since Xiaobo opened this bookstore, I have come here when I have time, and occasionally read two pages of books. Now when I go out, I can sometimes pretend to be a cultural person."
p>"Haha, Xiaobo's bookstore is quite good." Qiqi said.
"Yes, it can be regarded as realizing one of his dreams." Brother Li still felt guilty about Xiaobo.
"It also fulfilled my dream when I was young." Qiqi looked at Xiaobo and said.
Zhang Jun was heartbroken. He knew he should leave, but his legs felt like lead and he couldn't lift them.
At this moment, Xiaobo looked up and spotted him. "Zhang Jun?"
When Qiqi heard the name, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards the door. Neither of them seemed to have expected to meet again under such circumstances. Zhang Jun was a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said, "Ah, I was passing by the door and saw the sign 'On the Water Side', so I wanted to come in and take a look. I didn't expect it to be a bookstore opened by Brother Xiaobo."
< p> Xiaobo invited him to sit down and asked him when he would come back.After polite greetings, he glanced at Qiqi opposite him. Except for the shock at the door, she had never looked at him since he came in. She kept looking down at the cup in front of her, wondering. What are you thinking. He wondered, did Qiqi not want to see him? Still hate him? However, when they met, he couldn't pretend not to see her. He asked, "When did Qiqi come back?"
"Ah, I've been back for several days." Qiqi raised her head and looked at he. Her hair is shorter, but she is still thin, and her eyes are still as sparkling as before.
"When are you leaving?"
"Maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have to go to Beijing and then back to the United States."
"We have time. Let’s have a meal together?”
“Okay!”
The originally relaxed and happy gathering of old friends seemed a little awkward and alienated because of Zhang Jun’s participation. Zhang Jun also realized that he left after Qiqi left her contact number.
After Zhang Jun left, Qiqi's state was a little absent-minded, and her smile did not reach her eyes. Brother Li gave Xiaobo a meaningful look.
After leaving the bookstore, Zhang Jun continued shopping and met a kebab seller. He ordered 20 skewers. Ten skewers were not spicy, and the extra 10 skewers were more spicy. It's really spicy, so spicy that my heart, liver and lungs hurt.
It was already past 10 o'clock when he returned to the hotel. As the elevator went upstairs, he thought, is it appropriate to call Qiqi tonight, or tomorrow morning? Even if she no longer loves me, but we haven’t seen each other for such a long time, it’s still appropriate to have a chat. She shouldn’t refuse, after all, she is no longer the child of ten years ago.
Maybe, she will bring Xu Xiaobo with her, and that doesn't matter. Although I still love her, it's really good that she has a good home.
However, he didn't realize that after thinking so much, subconsciously, he just wanted to see Qiqi more. Later, Zhang Jun decided to call her at night and call her as soon as he entered the room.
三
When he opened the door, he accidentally dropped the door card, mobile phone and car keys on the ground. He picked them up one by one, opened the door, and was about to go in. Zhang Jun found someone walking in the elevator. A beige figure came out. He looked familiar. He couldn't see clearly due to the backlight, so he didn't pay much attention. He entered the room to insert the card and get electricity. Thinking about it, something still didn't feel right, so I opened the door again.
Just as she reached this position, the door suddenly opened, and Qiqi was startled. When she saw the person in the door clearly, she was even more shocked, "Zhang Jun?" "Qiqi?" they both said almost at the same time.
"Is it really you?" Zhang Jun said.
"You live here?" Qiqi asked.
"Yeah, I just saw a figure coming out over there. It looked familiar. I didn't expect such a coincidence."
"Is this a real 'coincidence'?" Qiqi looked at him and smiled slightly.
"This is indeed a real coincidence."
Qiqi nodded and said no more, but she had no intention of leaving and looked down at the ground in front of her.
"Which room do you live in?"
She went to the door next door and raised her chin, "Next door to you."
At this time, Zhang Jun almost Forgetting Xiaobo's existence and his conflicting moods, all that was left was surprise. It turned out that last night, there was only a wall between them.
"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Zhang Jun asked tentatively. "Anyway, it will be convenient to go back to the next door soon."
"Okay."
After letting her into the house, Zhang Jun realized how hasty this decision was. When he left in the morning, he was worried that the cleaning of the guest room would mess up his lucky star, so he specifically told the front desk that there was no need to clean the room today.
So, what Qiqi saw after entering the house was that dirty clothes were thrown casually on the sofa, towels were draped crookedly on the back of the chair in front of the desk, and slippers were scattered here and there on the floor. There was an old suitcase, open. The bed was even more messy. Although many papers were deliberately arranged in order, they were curled together and still messy. Next to them was a bottle, a velvet box, a photo album, and even a bunch of dinosaur dolls.
"Sorry, I didn't pack up when I left in the morning. Please wait a moment!" Zhang Jun said in embarrassment while packing up the clothes on the sofa.
"Are you buying this as a gift for a child?" Qiqi asked as she picked up a toy dinosaur.
Zhang Jun paused, "Yes, I bought a gift for a certain child back then, but she didn't like it, so she never gave it away."
After hearing this, Something seemed wrong, but Qiqi didn't think too deeply about it. She turned around and saw that the sofa had been packed away, and she sat down.
"Qiqi, how are you doing after all these years?" Zhang Jun's tone was a little heavy.
"Very good. What about you?" Qiqi looked at him.
"It's okay." Except I miss you.
"I went to see Teacher Gao yesterday, and she said she had seen you a few days ago."
"Well, I haven't seen you in so many years, and I miss her very much."
p>
Teacher Gao started the topic and their communication was much smoother. From college to current work, from former classmates to parents at home, they didn't mention anything except their feelings.
After a short silence, Zhang Jun said: "Qiqi, will you still break the lucky star now?"
The sudden question was something Qiqi didn't expect. Looking at him blankly, Zhang Jun stood up and went to the bedside, picked up the glass bottle, "Do you still remember this bottle of Lucky Star?"
Qiqi smiled helplessly, took the bottle, and held it in He looked at it carefully in his hand and said, "You still keep this."
"Yes, I have always kept it. I only learned a few days ago that there are words written in these stars. I took them apart one by one and looked at them. As a result, it's easy to open and won't break. Look at these things in the bottle, they look like this after a long time." He put his hand on his forehead, as if this matter really troubled him.
Qiqi picked up a piece of paper, looked at it, tied one end into a knot, then folded it into a pentagon, finally inserted the head into it, and then pinched the stars along the corners. It looks like a bulge.
She looked very skilled and focused, but her trembling hands betrayed her mood. When she finally inserted the corner, she took several times to succeed.
Fold one, put it in the bottle, take another one, look at it, fold it up, she didn’t say anything, she just repeated this action mechanically. Until she held a piece of paper in her hand and looked at the words on it, lost in thought. Zhang Jun has been watching her from the side, not daring to speak and not knowing what to say. Seeing that she was still, Zhang Jun shouted with difficulty: "Qiqi", but only one hot tear fell, followed by the second and third...
Zhang Jun Somewhat at a loss, I took the note from her hand, which said, "I hope it's you at sunrise and you at dusk, and I hope you're still by my side when I wake up in the middle of the night."
"Don't fold it, don't read it. "Qiqi, please stop crying, okay?" Just like every time we had a quarrel, he came to comfort her, "Qiqi, I'm sorry, please stop ignoring me, okay?"
< p>Qiqi turned her head, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and looked to the other side. She saw a velvet box, picked it up and asked, "What is this?""This was the birthday gift I gave you for your birthday, but you didn't like it, so you kept it. ”
She opened the box and saw the heart necklace, remembering the scene at that time. He carefully planned a birthday party for her, but in the end it broke up unhappy because of this gift. Looking back, I can see that my self-esteem at that time was really terrible, and I didn't know how to be devious. It was like a sharp sword that stabbed him who also didn't understand empathy.
"I'm sorry!" Qiqi felt sorry for herself at that time.
"This has happened a long time ago. I'm sorry for you!"
Qiqi picked up the heart pendant, with their initials engraved on the back.
She asked: "Can you still give this to me now? Keep it as a souvenir."
Zhang Jun was pleasantly surprised, "Of course, this is yours." He He took out the necklace and motioned to help her put it on.
Qiqi lowered her head, and Zhang Jun put his hand around the back of her neck. Qiqi’s face was facing the left side of his neck. If she raised her eyes slightly, she could see his profile. He didn’t The little prickly head sleeping by the river in fifth grade is no longer the upright young man who worked hard for her. He has lost his childishness and become more calm, but this face is still the face she has missed for many years.
The warm breath sprayed on his neck, making Zhang Jun nervous and excited. The button of the necklace was too small and could not be hooked on the other side. It was not until the fourth time that he could barely buckle it. Zhang Jun was full. Head sweating profusely.
四
Looking at the necklace on her collarbone and looking up at Qiqi's face, he resisted the desire to reach out and touch him, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Qiqi, are you Are you single now?"
Qiqi didn't say anything, and he asked again, "Shall we start over? I said I didn't have feelings for you that time, but I never lied to you. I have forgotten you. I often dream about the movies we watched together in Beijing and Qingdao. When I was sick, you sneaked out to take care of me, but every time I woke up from the dream, there was endless emptiness. We were all too young and sharp at that time. Now I know where I went wrong, and I understand how to be understanding and tolerant. If you don’t like someone yet, shall we try again?”
Zhang Jun? He knew it would be a bit abrupt to say this now, but when they met again, he couldn't hide his years of longing. He couldn't control it and just wanted to pour out the unsaid words to her.
Qiqi stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the busy traffic downstairs. She wanted to say, I have someone I like, and it has always been you, but what she said was: "I will be there next month." I’m going back to the United States.”
“I know we’ll discuss this later. There will always be a solution. Trust me, I won’t give up this time.”
Qiqi didn’t expect to meet Zhang Jun here, let alone that Zhang Jun still loved her. In the end she didn't give him any answer, she needed time. Zhang Jun was very happy about this. Qiqi did not name any man, but only raised the issue of distance. As long as she still has him in her heart, he will spare no effort even if she crosses thousands of mountains and rivers.
Two days later, it was time for Qiqi to leave. She had to go back to Xi'an first, pick up her luggage, then go to Beijing, and then fly to the United States from Beijing. It was originally agreed that Xiaobo would give her a gift, but Zhang Jun came and said, "I'm going back to work and happened to be passing by Xi'an, so I took her back without detouring.
"
At the door of the hotel, everyone was reluctant to leave. Qiqi and Brother Li hugged each other one by one. Finally, it was Xiaobo. She said, "Xiaobo, thank you for protecting me without reservation. Now I I have grown up and will protect myself. Please never ignore me again, okay? "
"No, maybe I will need your protection in the future! "Xiaobo smiled, his smile was still so clear and gentle.
Seeing Qiqi's eyes full of tears and she hesitated to speak, Xiaobo said: "Go, follow your heart, as long as you feel happy. Okay, Brother Xiaobo will be fine too, don’t worry! "He hugged Qiqi hard, then rubbed her hair, opened the car door, and stuffed her in.
Then, from Xi'an to Beijing, until before boarding the international flight, Zhang Jun She used the "dog-skin plaster" trick she used in Beijing to the fullest.
Qiqi asked: "You follow me around every day, don't you have to go to work?" "
Zhang Jun said: "I have to go to work. When you are not here, I go to work every day. I don't have time to take annual leave. I just made it up this time. "
"I said that you, a design director, can take a vacation whenever you want, so who will do your work? ”
“I took care of all the urgent matters in the evening. I won’t be in a hurry until you leave. I can go back and work overtime very quickly!” You don’t have to worry about it. I just want to be with you now. No matter how much I miss you for 10 years, it won’t be enough. ”
Later Qiqi stopped caring about him. A week later, she returned to the United States and Zhang Jun returned to work. Except for phone calls every now and then, everything seemed to be no different from before. Qiqi also felt that this state It's good. She has passed the stage of being lonely and helpless and needing the warmth of her boyfriend. She is not a girl who uses her boyfriend as her only spiritual support. In the past, she could only miss him silently in her heart and dreams, and she didn't even dare to hear about him. After asking about it, she can hear his voice often and see him via video occasionally. As for the future, she hasn't thought about it yet. As Zhang Jun said, there will always be a way.
But Qiqi doesn’t know that Zhang Jun is very busy right now. He always calls her during meetings. Because of the time difference, in order to match her time there, Zhang Jun always sets an alarm clock to send her a video, otherwise he would not I missed it when I was busy.
Mr. Zhen and Mr. Jia were on a business trip and met Zhang Jun. After dinner, Mr. Zhen suggested going to a bar to sit down. Zhang Jun said, "You go ahead, I have something else to do." I'm not done yet, so I have to go back and work overtime. ”
Master Jia said: “What time is it now?” Going back to work overtime? Why work so hard? ”
Zhang Jun said: “I’ve been working on a project recently and I’m really busy. I want to do the best I can and take it to competitions. "
Mr. Zhen raised his eyebrows at Mr. Jia: "You don't know yet, do you? Last time Luo Qiqi came back, this guy was tidied up. "
Master Jia became interested, "Really? Any drama? ”
Zhang Jun sighed, “Crossing the Pacific Ocean, it’s not that easy to chase. You can’t do it without fighting!” "
五
One day half a year later, Qiqi had just arrived downstairs after work. She heard a familiar voice calling her "Qiqi". She looked up and saw a slender Zhang Jun across the road. With his figure bathed in the warm sunset, he ran towards her. Without thinking much, she reached out and hugged him.
The team led by Zhang Jun participated in an international competition and won the award. This time she came to receive the award as a representative.
Qiqi also went there on the day of the award. She looked at Zhang Jun on the stage and delivered his acceptance speech in fluent English, exuding confidence from the inside out. . He mentioned her: Thank you to my Qiqi. Without her, I might not know the direction of my life. Without her, I would not have the motivation to move forward. All my success is due to her and for me. She, Qiqi, thank you for everything you have given me, I love you!
It turns out that that naughty, bad boy has grown up so tall and radiant! If he works hard, he will really get closer step by step, and will no longer escape or give up.
During the half month that Zhang Jun was in the United States, Qiqi took him through her school and company to get to know him. Her friend here introduced her openly, "This is my boyfriend, Zhang Jun. "
Another six months later, Qiqi received a picture, which was an offer from Stanford University. Zhang Jun successfully applied for a master's degree in landscape architecture at Stanford University.
He said that our primary school and middle school are all in the same school. Although the graduate students have missed it, but if I have the opportunity, I want to walk through every place you have ever walked and feel everything you have experienced. Although it is a few years late, I Will try to keep up with you.
He said, from now on I will be your junior brother, please take care of me.
He said, I will go to school in the future and will have no time to work and make money. Qiqi, please support me! I don't have that strong self-esteem, I just want to be your pretty boy.
Qiqi pretended to be angry, it was a matter of the Republic of China, and now she is bringing it up!
Zhang Jun said, Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never mention it again!
Qiqi said, who is your wife? Don’t scream! Did you propose?
A year later, they registered in the United States, and "My Wife" finally got the certificate to work. In the summer vacation of the same year, they returned to China and went to Qingdao for their honeymoon. When Zhang Jun took out the photo album secretly taken that year, Qiqi was really shocked. At his strong request, they walked through the background of the photo again, leaving their photos in every place. Place one correspondingly next to the previous photo.
Five years later, the company wanted to transfer Qiqi to be the head of the China branch. After discussing with Zhang Jun, she agreed. Zhang Jun also quit his job. He is now well-known in the industry. Several well-known domestic companies have been trying to poach him. He is not worried about the future.
During the Spring Festival of 2020, the coronavirus broke out. Suddenly, the whole country was panicked, and everyone was paying attention to the rising epidemic data. Later, it finally stopped growing and started to decline overall, but the epidemic broke out abroad. First it was South Korea, Japan, and then Europe and the Americas. It was out of control, followed by various social problems. China became the safest country, but the United States did not know when it would be able to get through the difficulties.
Qiqi’s mother looked at the TV and said, luckily your family is back, otherwise we would all be worried!
Just like Qiqi was worried about them during the 2008 earthquake.
Because of the epidemic, this annual leave is particularly long. When their daughter just entered elementary school, she and Zhang Jun were so busy that they took over their parents to help when they returned home. The two old people were very spoiled with children and seemed to want to make up for all the debt they owed Qiqi to their granddaughter when they were young.
From time to time, there were disagreements over education issues. Every time, Zhang Jun came out to be the peacemaker. He has not received much love from his parents since he was a child, and has never experienced such a harmonious family warmth, so he is very satisfied. The so-called old people spoiling children does not necessarily have serious consequences, and may even become a treasure that warms her life, just like Qiqi's grandfather, who had a profound influence on her. To this day, when she encounters a problem, she often takes out the manuscripts left by her grandfather and looks through them. In Zhang Jun's opinion, this is what happiness should look like.
In the living room, my mother was peeling fruit and joking with her daughter for a while, while my father was playing chess with Zhang Jun. During the epidemic, his activities were restricted, but his father didn't mind him being such a bad chess player. Qiqi stood on the balcony, looking at this small world that belonged to her own. Everything was the best arrangement.
The world is very big and I am very lucky that I met you.
The world is very small and I am very lucky that you found me again.
Although we still have differences, we have learned to tolerate and cherish them.
Thank you for never giving up and always working hard.
Thank you to fate, you are still by my side!
