Chapter 264

Zhang Ma wiped her tears and went to wash her face, then came back and scrambled a plate of eggs and gave it to Zhu Yuyan: “Go knock on the door and call your mom and sister to come out for dinner.”

Eggs only put salt, no green onion shrimp skin, but already is a rare delicious.

Zhu Yuyan’s mouth was watering at the sight of it, and she sat still: “How many eggs were scrambled?”

Zhang Ma: “One is enough to eat.”

A big plate in front of me!

Zhu Yuyan was surprised, “This egg is so big!”

The chickens in the school are all ordinary chickens and lay ordinary eggs, all of which are quite small, and eggs that are too big are not rare, but simply not available.

Zhang Ma pulled her up, pushed her: “Eggs broken inside a little water on the line, quickly go, your sister is probably crying and refused to go it, you go to persuade a persuasion, do not let your mother on fire.”

Zhu Yuyan quietly upstairs, stick in her mom’s bedroom door to eavesdrop, inside the silence, a while before she heard her mom’s voice.

Zhu Yan Shu: “You do not go also have to go, this is not by you, forced me to tie you up, then sent to the ship, to the shore before releasing you.”

Daiyu Cicada stood in front of her and cried so much that she was trembling and couldn’t raise her head. She hadn’t objected to going to study abroad before because the situation hadn’t been so bad, but now that it was so bad, how could she leave her family and friends behind and become a deserter on her own?

“Let Yan Yan go, mom, Yan Yan loves studying more than I do, she’s still smart, let her go.” Dai Yuchan said.

Zhu Yanshu had already read the character of her two daughters better through the matter of the good citizen’s license, and she had already made up her mind.

“How many times have I said that there aren’t enough tickets, if I can only get one, then you go first, if I can get more, I’ll send you sisters together.” Zhu Yanshu cajoled and deceived, doing everything she could, she softened her voice, hugged Dai Yucan’s shoulder and gently shook it, “Eldest sister, you’ve always been mom’s most caring and obedient daughter, and mom also trusts you the most. I don’t know what’s going on in foreign countries, and you know Yan Yan’s character too well, she’s too jumpy, so even if you’re the only one who goes, mom can still rest assured. After you go there first, rent a house, settle down, and enroll in school, then I will send Yan Yan over there, so you can take care of her for mom.”

If you tell Dai Yucan that there is a beautiful road in front of her, then she is definitely not willing to go; but if you say that the road in front of her is full of thorns and thistles, and that there is a pit in front of her, and you let her go and step on the road once for others, so that those who come after her don’t step on the pothole, then she will run faster than anyone else.

Zhu Yan Shu lost the initial battle, now found a trick to deal with her daughter, suddenly said foreign countries as a dragon pool and tiger’s den.

“Alas, now that the United States and Britain are expelling yellow people, everywhere is not safe. You’ve never been out of the house, I’m afraid you don’t even know where to rent an apartment, Shi Wuwei is not as good as you, letting the two of you go out, I really don’t feel at ease.” Zhu Yan Shu sighed.

She exerted too much force, and Dai Yucan said, “Then we won’t go to study abroad ……” The words did not fall, Zhu Yanshu slapped her on the back, her own mother hit the child, the hands are all measured, and Dai Yucan’s back was numb and painful, like 10,000 needles were stabbing her. Since childhood, this is the first time she was hit by her own mother, and immediately did not dare to say no again.

It can be seen that her own mother is really angry.

Zhu Yan Shu hit a little is not enough, and twisted her ear hang up and turn: “You silly child, foreign countries are not good, but foreign countries do not fight! There are no shells falling from the sky, there is food and drink, the school can still learn, how can you even distinguish between good and bad!”

Dai Yucicang was wringing her ear and bared her teeth, but she didn’t dare to cry out in pain.

Zhu Yanshu: “Do you hear me? Be a good boy and go pack your bags and get ready to board the ship.”

Dai Yucchan: “Okay, okay, mom, I hear you.”

Zhu Yanshu then let go of the ear in her hand, and only after seeing that it was all wrung red, she rubbed it with heartache, “Good boy, it hurts, doesn’t it?”

The generation of jade cicadas will not call pain, and also extremely respect Zhu Yan Shu, to get her a word of heartache, and then the pain also do not feel the pain.

“Mom, I don’t hurt, it’s fine.” She said obediently.

Zhu Yanshu saw that this child did not even know how to cry out in pain, and became even more uneasy. If this were Yan Yan, she would be able to cry for three days, crying at everyone, and would not give up until everyone felt sorry for her.

Zhu Yanshu hugged her and coaxed softly, “Mom has money, no matter how expensive the tickets can be bought, when the time comes, surely our whole family will go, just to a batch of people to go, there is no way to go together. You listen to me.”

Dai Yucicang was relieved, obediently nodded: “Good, mom, I listen to you.”

Zhu Yuyan pasted outside the door and listened for half a day, then quietly came down again and said to Zhang Ma, “I’m fine with what I hear, my mom and my sister are talking quite well.”

Quite a good pair of mother and daughter down, Dai Yuchan red eyes, one side of the ear red like being branded. Zhang Ma instantly scolded: “I told Yan Yan to shout, she still said it’s fine. Good boy, come sit here.” She pulled Dai Yucan to a chair and sat down, bending down to look at her ears carefully, seeing two deep nail marks behind her ears, she scolded again, “Which cruel mom is this! Hit the little girl is not so hard, just know to find honest children to bully, that naughty every day on the room how do not see you hit a little?”

Zhang Ma scolded, Zhu Yanshu also did not dare to talk back, just make a show, Zhu Yuyan pulled over and pretended to slap her twice.

“Then this one I also hit, that’s fair right.” Zhu Yanshu persuaded her daughter to study abroad and was happy.

Zhu Yuyan was beaten for nothing, but it didn’t hurt, and on the basis of being able to comfort her sister, she also dutifully shouted out in pain, grunting, “It hurts, it hurts.”

Zhu Yan Shu then glared at her.

Zhang Ma was even more furious: “It’s not enough for you to hit one, you have to hit two. Why don’t you just beat me up too, so that you can show off your Missy’s power.”

Zhu Yanshu was scolded to the point that she had a headache, and seeing that the food on the table wasn’t good, she casually ate two bites and went to class.

Zhang Ma saw Dai Yucan crying, so she went to the kitchen to make another sweet soup to comfort the child.

Dai Yucchan pushed the egg plate to Zhu Yuyan: “You eat it.”

Zhu Yuyan wanted to persuade Dai Yucan to study abroad, but knew that she couldn’t do it openly to her sister, she had to do it secretly.

She put her arm around her sister’s shoulder and said, “Sister, are you angry with mom?”

Dai Yucan shook her head, “No, mom asked me to study abroad. Yan Yan, you go with me.”

Zhu Yu Yan skipped over the answer of whether she would go or not, and instead began to look forward to her study abroad life, although she had stayed in an aristocratic school, she had been under the hands of the school and teachers from start to finish, and in the final analysis was not really considered to have seen foreign study abroad life.

She said, “I don’t know if I can get used to eating in a foreign country, I heard that things in England are not good, they don’t eat rice over there, we’ll have to eat bread and potatoes every day when we go over there.”

Dai Yu Cicada also put her arm around her sister and comforted her softly, “I heard that the white people over there discriminate against yellow people, but it’s fine, we’ll be together then, our family is all together, we’re not afraid.”

Zhang Ma brought the egg flower over, she put the egg flower on the table, Dai Yucan turned her head and told her: “Zhang Ma don’t be afraid, I heard that there is a China Street in foreign countries, we live in China Street, where people speak Chinese, not foreign language, it doesn’t matter that you don’t know how to speak foreign language.”

Zhang Ma was baffled at hearing this, but she reacted quickly, pointing to the cup and said, “Big sister stop talking, it’s already one o’clock, hurry up and eat your meal, you guys still have to attend classes in the afternoon.”

Zhu Yu Yan then realized that Dai Yu Cicada had thought that the whole family would go together, including Zhang Ma.

She thought about it carefully, and felt that it was actually not bad, if Zhang Ma followed along, she wouldn’t be afraid.

During the afternoon class, she kept thinking that Zhu Yanshu might have lied not only to Dai Yuchan, but also to her.

She told Dai Yuchan that it was the whole family going together.

She told her that she was letting Dai Yuchan and Shi Wuwei go.

Then, with her knowledge of her mother, the first two to be sent away would definitely be her and Dai Yucan, followed by Shi Wuwei and Su Chunjun. Shi Wuwei would definitely be able to go along, and could act as a bodyguard for the two of them. If Su Chunjun could go, that would be even better.

Finally, Zhu Yanshu, Professor Dai and Zhang Ma were left behind.

Zhang Ma was old and her body was failing. She might not be able to get used to the idea of living in another country at her age, and the long boat trip would be prone to accidents, not to mention that old people have a saying about returning to one’s roots, so if she is taken out, she might not be able to be brought back, and that would be too tragic.

Professor Dai will never leave the school and students, he will never go.

And Zhu Yanshu ……

Zhu Yuyan understood Zhu Yanshu, and she felt that she understood her better than anyone else.

If Zhu Yanshu wasn’t the current Professor Zhu, and if she and Dai Yucan didn’t have Shi Wuwei and Su Chunjun by their side, then Zhu Yanshu would have definitely left with them, mother and daughter, she would never have been comfortable letting them leave her side.

But now she was a professor in addition to being a mother.

Mothers were great, but it was undeniable that Zhu Yanshu could only play mahjong while raising her daughter, and her life was empty. Mothers are indeed important when their children are small, but when they grow up and start to leave the nest, there is less and less that they can do.

Zhu Yanshu, on the other hand, was a woman with ideals and pursuits, and she was also very smart. There was still a lot of unrealized ingenuity beyond raising her daughter, which was why she was empty.

Now that she had found a place where she could shine, she could wield her intelligence to her heart’s content, and this career would never have a day of fulfillment because there was an endless supply of students.

Now that she and Dai Yuchan had both grown up and had credible and reliable people around them to take care of them, Zhu Yanshu was already trying to let go.

Therefore, she felt that Zhu Yanshu was hesitant between leaving or not leaving in a four to six ratio.

Leaving accounted for 60%, and not leaving accounted for 40%.

But if a substitute professor was added on top of that, the balance would change.

Leaving becomes 40%, not leaving becomes 60%.

The attraction of a difficult ideal road is greatly increased when there is a like-minded fellow traveler on the road.

Zhu Yanshu probably wouldn’t want to leave, she would want to stay to realize her ideals and be with her true partner in life.

Parents would leave, sons and daughters would leave, and in the end, the only person who would accompany them throughout their lives would be their partner.

What about Zhu Yuyan herself?

She looked into her heart and realized that she was actually a rather unprincipled person. For her, whether she left the place or stayed, it only depended on the decisions of the people around her.

In other words, if everyone decided to leave, then she would leave as well.

If someone wanted to stay, then she would also look at how important that person was to her before deciding whether or not to stay.

Now, Zhu Yanshu wanted her to go, so would she go?

Then she would have to take all her favorite people with her.

Not only Zhang Ma, Zhu Yanshu and Dai Yucan, but also Su Chunjun, Shi Wuwei and Professor Dai.

Zhu Yuyan thought about it all afternoon and then all night until Su Chunjun came back, and when she heard the door slam, she quietly pushed it open and tiptoed downstairs.

A table lamp was left in the downstairs living room, dimly illuminating a small palm-sized area.

Su Chunjun sat on the sofa, straightened his legs, undid his collar button and tie, and slowly relaxed.

Then a person who still carried the warmth of the comforter with the soap scent rising from it was thrown into his arms.

With an arm outstretched, he took her into his arms, placing her feet on the couch as well, and looking to see that the young lady had indeed gotten out of bed without socks, and that her feet were now a little cold.

He put the suit jacket he had taken off over her feet.

Snuggling quietly with her.

Zhu Yuyan whispered in his arms, “Sister is going to study abroad, with Shi Wuwei.”

Su Chunjun wrapped his arms around her and gave a soft hmmm.

Zhu Yuyan deliberately said, “I’m going too.”

Su Chunjun smiled faintly, pressed his lips to her glossy forehead and said softly, “Good.”

Zhu Yuyan tilted her head, “You accompany me.”

Su Chunjun lowered her head down and saw this young, still having a chance to have an infinite possible future face. She should go and have an infinite future.

He leaned into her face and softly agreed, “Uh-huh.”

He was lying.

She knew it very well.

It was an instinct between men and women, a woman’s instinct.

A woman could tell if a man was lying from the corner of his eyebrows, his breathing, his every expression.

Zhu Yuyan did not refute him, her own secret determination.

The next day, she went to find Zhu Yanshu.

Zhu Yanshu’s expression wasn’t very nice when she saw it was her. She gave her a look, turned her head and ignored her.

Zhu Yuyan walked in, closed the door gently and stood in front of her.

Zhu Yanshu was quickly organizing the checks in her hands, she divided them into two piles, then three piles, then four piles, the checks were clattered by her.

Zhu Yanshu: “It’s better for you guys to go out and bring checks for convenience. This one is for a hundred dollars.” She points to a check and says, “This one is for a thousand, and this one is for ten thousand.” She held the check up for Zhu Yuyan to see, “There are US dollars and pounds. Several major international banks can cash them.”

She gathered the checks together and carefully organized them neatly, as if this was the most important thing under the sun, important to ask Zhu Yuyan about her intentions.

Zhu Yuyan was like a mother dealing with a child who didn’t know any better; she had infinite patience. She sat down and waited for Zhu Yanshu to pack up the checks and then re-disturb them and pack them up again.

“Mom.” Zhu Yuyan spoke.

Zhu Yanshu slammed the check on the table, “Can’t you see that I’m busy right now?”

Zhu Yuyan: “I’m not leaving.”

Zhu Yanshu glared at her fiercely, “Shut up. When did it become your turn to make decisions?”

Zhu Yu Yan said what she wanted to say to herself, “Elder sister and Shi Wuwei are leaving because Shi Wuwei needs to go to a foreign country to study, even a national tragedy can’t hinder him from learning knowledge, the role he can play here is very small, whereas when he goes out and learns more, he will come back and be able to play a bigger role in the future. Sister’s character is simple; it is more dangerous for her to stay; for her good she should go out.”

“Mom and Prof. Acting will both stay, right? Professor Dai won’t leave the school or the students, and mom won’t leave to fulfill her ideals.”

“I don’t have to go either. I have no interest in foreign countries. I like everyone and want to be with everyone. Now that there’s mom and Professor Dai here, and there’s mom Zhang and teacher Su, I won’t leave.”

Zhu Yanshu’s two eyes kept on pouring out tears as she glared at this daughter who made her sad.

This childish, naive, but once she grew up she couldn’t stop her anymore daughter.

Zhu Yuyan hugged her, “Mom, I won’t leave.”

Zhu Yanshu also hugged her and hit her hard twice on her back.

“I guessed it long ago. You debt collector.”

Zhu Yanshu didn’t just guess that she wouldn’t go to study abroad, she also guessed that when the school was going to move, she still wouldn’t go. She would be more willing to stay by Su Chunjun’s side than to follow her mom and the school.

Because Su Chunjun was more pitiful and more lonely.

Because she loved him.
