- The weather in June is always uncomfortable. Even though the air conditioner is turned on at full speed, Li Zhuang still feels a little irritated. The number of modules required for a level-6 intelligence brain was too large, and there were some differences between the various modules. Some of them could not be assembled with automated equipment and had to be assembled by hand. The huge workload overloaded his body and brain.
Li Zhuang spends more time out and about than before, but rarely drives. His sister, who has just passed her driver's license test, has become his full-time driver. The two of them often hang out by the West Lake when they have nothing to do.
But in the past few days, this girl has been busy for some reason, and she hasn't been home for several days. Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and called his sister: "Girl, what are you busy with? I haven't seen you for several days. Are you in love?"
"Ah!" Li Xiang exclaimed over there, and Li Zhuang vaguely heard a man's voice talking to his sister.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I really have a boyfriend. Bring it back to your brother and I'll help you give advice." Li Zhuang made the request, and Li Xiang, who was said to be the centerpiece, had no choice but to agree.
We made an appointment to have dinner together. Li Zhuang was very tired these days, so he stopped to rest early and waited for his future brother-in-law to come to the door. The door opened, and Li Xiang brought in a medium-sized boy wearing plain clothes.
Li Zhuang stood up to greet them, and Li Xiang introduced the two of them: "This is my brother, Li Zhuang."
"Hello, my name is Su Yunyi. I am Li Xiang's boyfriend. Nice to meet you." The boy was a little restrained, but he still greeted him according to the rules.
"Hello, please sit down. Girls, you can pour whatever you want to drink."
Li Xiang brought a cup of coffee to his brother. He has a heavy workload now, so coffee is a must-have. He got an iced black tea for Su Yunyi, and then got a popsicle for himself. Li Zhuang's family has two extra large side-by-side refrigerators with everything in them. Neither brother nor sister likes to go to the supermarket all the time.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Yunyi slowly relaxed. He was a little nervous when he came. Li thought his parents were gone and his eldest brother was like his father. He heard Li Xiang talk about some situations in Lizhuang. A man in his early thirties could afford such an expensive house on his own. He was undoubtedly a successful person. Successful people are generally a bit picky. His hometown is in rural S province. Li Xiang is not bad looking and there are many people pursuing her. Although he felt quite capable, he didn't have the confidence to pass Li Zhuang's test, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Xiao Su, what do you study? How old are you?" Li Zhuang asked.
"I am a sophomore student in the Department of Chemistry." Su Yunyi replied.
Li Zhuang¡¯s questions were not very detailed. He had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter. His sister and he were far apart, so a generation gap was unavoidable.
Li Xiang¡¯s craftsmanship is pretty good, much better than Li Zhuang who only makes energy food. Everyone had a great time chatting at the dinner table.
After dinner, Li Zhuang called the two of them together and said seriously to Su Yunyi: "I have no objection to the matter between you two, as long as you can get along with each other, but there is one thing. I have to remind you that if you don't If you plan to marry Li Xiang, it¡¯s best not to have sex, I only have this one sister.¡±
Li Xiang's face turned red with embarrassment. Su Yunyi opened his mouth wide and was a little stunned. He didn't expect Li Zhuang to say such a private thing.
After sending his sisters away, Li Zhuang started to tidy up the tables and chairs, washed the dishes, lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa. My sister has finally grown up, and other men care about her. He is finally worthy of his mother. In front of his eyes, he can vaguely see his mother holding her sister's hand and not letting go.
Li wanted to go home for the night and asked Li Zhuang about his impression of Su Yunyi. Li Zhuang pondered for a moment and said: "This young man has a somewhat low self-esteem and his family conditions may not be very good. This is normal. When people have financial problems, they always have no problems." You are confident enough, but you are smart, your eyes are firm, your conversation is good, and your expression is relatively indifferent. I am optimistic about your future."
Li Xiang finally felt relieved. She got along well with Su Yunyi and knew that his family's conditions were average, but who could deprive the poor of their love? Love cannot be eaten as food, but marriage without love is like chewing wax. It is better not to get married at all.
At the beginning of July, Li Zhuang received a call from Lisa, saying that she was coming over for the winter vacation and would arrive in a week. He asked Li Zhuang to pick her up at Shanghai International Airport and would send him a text message at the specific time.
Li Zhuang and Lisa have never lost contact. They communicate frequently on MSN, but they are basically trivial matters.
"Winter vacation? Hey, it's so hot here, the earth, the earth." Li Zhuang said to himself there.
Lisa's schedule has been arranged. Li Zhuang borrowed Yongzi's four laps and planned to pick her up in Shanghai one day in advance. He would also visit the national treasure and have dinner with Zhou Zhi. He had invited Li Zhuang several times, but Lizhuang is very busy here and has never been able to make the trip.
Li Zhuang¡¯s cell phone rang, and he picked it up.The words were spoken by Li Xiang: "Brother, Jingjing is coming over. The train will arrive the day after tomorrow morning."
"I'm not free the day after tomorrow. I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow. A foreign friend is coming over the day after tomorrow, and I have to pick him up at the airport. Okay, you drive my Passat and pick up Jingjing, and we'll have dinner together in the evening." Li Zhuang could only arrange it this way.
"Okay, that's it."
"Why did the two of us bump into each other?" Li Zhuang put down the phone and scratched his head.
In the evening, I called Zhou Zhi first and made an appointment to meet at Guobao's house tomorrow. Zhou Zhi was not busy during this period, so he asked for leave. Guobao's home is close to work, so it's easy to arrange.
Li Zhuang set off early the next morning. Unexpectedly, it was still crowded during the peak period. However, his feet were not numb this time. The four laps were indeed better than the Jetta.
When we arrived at Guobao¡¯s house, Zhou Zhi and his wife were already there, playing games with Yuanyuan. They don't have children yet, but plan to have one.
Seeing Li Zhuang¡¯s arrival, everyone felt affectionate again. When it comes to laboratory matters, Guobao and his wife are from Li Zhuang's hometown. Guobao's parents are old, and he also wants to go back to work. Anyway, people like him can find food anywhere.
Zhou Zhi was a little hesitant, worried that his wife would not be willing to go there and that there would be obstacles for the father-in-law and his family. His life here is a bit hard. Although the couple's income is not bad, the housing prices in Shanghai are too high. The parents-in-law are frugal and have not dared to have children. They also have to repay the mortgage for the house.
Li Zhuang has considered this matter. He said that if he was willing to go back, the house in Zhou Zhihu would not have to be sold, and the laboratory would pay for the loan. If he no longer wanted to work, he could come back at any time, and he would not have to pay back the part paid by the company.
He also said that if the couple is willing to go there, their income will not be less than twice what it is now, and if a company is willing to buy the developed products, they will be given shares according to the project team, and 20% of all the income of the laboratory will be used as Bonuses are distributed to all employees
Zhou Zhi¡¯s wife Ren Mingmei is very interested in Li Zhuang¡¯s suggestion. She grew up in this corner of Shanghai. Once she returned to Zhou Zhi's hometown, she fell in love with that quiet, peaceful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. If Li Zhuang hadn't talked nonsense, she would have built a villa there and lived a leisurely life, instead of living in Shanghai, a crowded place with so many people. She promised Zhou Zhi that she would convince her family and not embarrass him.
After successfully getting two pairs, there was still a lot of knowledge. Li Zhuang was very excited and finally took the first step. In the afternoon, Li Zhuang was in a good mood. He even went to Zhou Zhi's house to visit. The area is indeed not large, and the stall is very large. No wonder Ren Mingmei feels uncomfortable living there.
In the evening, everyone drank together. Guo Bao, who rarely drank, got drunk this time and stayed at a hotel next to Zhou Zhi's house.
Early the next morning, Li Zhuang set off for the airport. Lisa's plane would arrive at around eight o'clock.
Lisa walked out of the passenger exit and found Li Zhuang who was looking up eagerly. She jumped into his arms with cheers, making the surrounding passengers look strange.
We haven¡¯t seen her for six or seven months, but Lisa is still so charming, and Li Zhuang¡¯s heart is a little drunk. Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. Li Zhuang looked back and saw a fat man with gray hair looking at him with a smile and said: "There is another one here."
Li Zhuang was a little confused, Lisa quickly introduced him to him, this was her grandfather, James Wilson.
"Hello, Mr. Wilson, welcome to China." Li Zhuang greeted her politely. Lisa had never mentioned that her grandfather was coming before she came. Li Zhuang looked at her doubtfully.
Lisa said with some helplessness that before departure, her grandfather suddenly said that he wanted to come over and have a look. He heard that the environment in Hangzhou was very beautiful. Lisa couldn't resist him and had to agree to let him follow.
Mr. Wilson is a very interesting person. His personality is not very similar to his. Li Zhuang is probably closer to Lisa's grandmother.
We all had breakfast together and then entered the city. Lisa went to a nearby specialty store to buy a few sets of clothes for herself and her grandfather. It's summer here, it's very hot.
After the rush hour, the expressway and city roads were very smooth. Li Zhuang drove back to his residence quickly. Lisa insisted on going to where Li Zhuang lived to have a look, and then went to the nearby hotel in the afternoon. Mr. Wilson was fine. Opinion.
When he got downstairs, Li Zhuang was surprised to see his Passat parked in the carport, "Jingjing didn't come here? Or are they at home?"
Li Xiang didn¡¯t call Li Zhuang in the morning.
The door is open, Liu Jing and Li Xiang are chatting, Li Xiang¡¯s boyfriend Su Yunyi is watching them chat, occasionally interjecting a few words.
Everyone first saw Li Zhuang coming in, followed by a beautiful woman with blond hair like a sun god and blue eyes, and a tall, fat man behind him.Everyone stood up and waited for Li Zhuang¡¯s introduction. "This is my sister Li Xiang, opposite is her boyfriend Su Yunyi, and this is my friend's daughter Liu Jing."
Lisa stretched out her hand, shook hands with the three people, and introduced herself, hey, still in Chinese, but a little weird like Da Mian: "Hello, my name is Elizabeth Wilson, and the person behind me is my grandfather James Wilson."
Mr. Wilson greeted Li Xiang and the three of them one by one in English, and then the three of them responded politely. When it was Liu Jing's turn, Mr. Wilson suddenly turned around and said quickly to Lisa in French: "You have met a competitor."
Li Zhuang, who had some basic knowledge of French, understood it and was stunned. It turned out that having a big mouth in some aspects is hereditary. Li Xiang and her boyfriend both speak better English, while Liu Jing is worse. Her Australian English has an accent, so most of the time she can only watch them talk.
Lunch was eaten at a nice hotel nearby. Mr. Wilson ate with his mouth full of oil and shouted happily, making an old naughty boy. In contrast, Lisa is much quieter and often talks to Li Zhuang in English in a low voice, while Liu Jing pricks her ears next to her.
When the two groups met, the itinerary had to be changed. Mr. Wilson expressed his understanding and said that he would spend the last two days visiting the West Lake.
We first went to Qiandao Lake for three days. Li Xiang, Liu Jing, and Lisa had never been to Qiandao Lake. Su Yunyi, who was the partner, didn't care about that much and had a great time.
¡°Somehow, when Liu Jing and Lisa met each other, Li Zhuang could always feel a kind of hostility in the eyes of both parties. He had no other thoughts about Liu Jing, so he didn't care. There were enough things.
After visiting Qiandao Lake, Liu Jing returned directly to City S, while Li Zhuang accompanied Mr. Wilson to the West Lake for two days.
When they were seeing Lisa off at the airport, she suddenly said to Li Zhuang: "Although there are still people who like you, I hope I am your only one."
Li Zhuang vomited blood.
After finally seeing off two groups of people, Li Xiang was waiting at home when we got home.
"Brother, what's going on? The elders came here to inspect? You don't really plan to marry her, do you?" Li Xiang asked.
Li Zhuang vomited three liters of blood again, and finally managed to get his sister away, and entered the small laboratory to start assembling artificial neurons.
¡°We are not far from success!¡± He encouraged himself.
