It was early December in the blink of an eye, and Li Wei's work schedule ended on December 15th.
During this time, apart from work, she was almost always busy studying English. The CDs we rent at home are all original audio versions, and we also buy the foreign language versions of the magazines and newspapers we read. She met with Li Jianbo every now and then, and Li Jianbo helped her improve her speaking skills and gave her a lot of guidance.
After a period of intensive learning and deepening, the language barrier has been successfully overcome. She asked Bian Ling to come out for afternoon tea, and Bian Ling readily agreed.
Li Wei arrived at the cafe first and sat there quietly with earplugs in his ears. He was listening to foreign songs and flipping through a magazine in his hand. He didn't know how long it took until Bian Ling came over and closed the book in Li Wei's hand. , she raised her eyes and glanced at Bian Ling, stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Doctor Bian."
Bian Ling said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm a little late."
Li smiled and said: "It's okay, Dr. Bian is busy, I know that. What does Dr. Bian want to drink?"
"Cafe."
Bian Ling wore a black coat today, with big wavy curls hanging behind her head, and she wore exquisite makeup. Long time no see, still so beautiful and charming.
Li Wei couldn't help but smile: "There must be a lot of people coming to see Dr. Bian for treatment, right?"
"Um, no."
"Dr. Bian is so beautiful, so many people should come to see you."
Bian Ling smiled brightly: "As expected of a host, your mouth is so sweet and you can make people happy." Then he added: "I am in the oncology department, and those who come to me are all with more serious diseases. It’s probably because they don’t want to see me.”
Li Wei's opening remarks were good, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became very harmonious.
Then Li Wei was interested in which university in the UK Bian Ling had studied at. When Bian Ling said the name "University of Liverpool", Li Wei sincerely admired her: "A woman as beautiful as Dr. Bian and with a good mind is really beautiful." It’s so rare.”
"Okay, stop filling me with ecstasy soup. What on earth do you mean by inviting me here today?"
"I want to talk to you about England or something."
Bian Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "Dr. Li has come to ask me once before. Could it be that you are going to England?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "Yes, I am going to study for a year."
Bian Ling smiled and said: "No wonder, I'm afraid it's only your affairs that Dr. Li cares about like this. It's really enviable to have such a brother."
The two young women sat in the store for nearly two hours and drank a lot of coffee. Bian Ling talked endlessly about her study life to Li Wei, which also benefited Li Wei a lot and gave him a lot of knowledge about this country. gained a deeper understanding.
"Oh, it's already here. It's time for dinner. I'll treat you to whatever dish Dr. Bian likes."
"After drinking so much coffee and eating desserts, there is no room in my stomach for other food. That's it for today. Let's go to the mall together another day."
Li Wei was reluctant when she saw this, so she asked Bian Ling if he came by car. When he learned that he came by taxi, he offered to drive her, and Bian Ling didn't refuse.
"when are you leaving?"
"January 9th."
"That'll be soon. Wish you good luck!" Bian Ling sincerely wished.
"Thank you. I hope Dr. Bian will also have good luck."
Bian Ling smiled and said: "I probably spent all my good luck on studying. I always passed the exams smoothly. In comparison, other things were not so smooth." She finally fell in love with a man, The man didn't treat her politely.
"I also want to have the luck of Dr. Bian." Li Wei was really envious.
"No, no, I envy Anchor Li for having such a brother. That is your best luck."
When Li Jianbo was mentioned, the two of them were silent for a while. After a while, Li Wei said again: "I really hope Dr. Bian can be my second sister-in-law."
Bian Ling's smile became a little bitter: "But it's you that Dr. Li likes in his heart, right?"
No one can force love. Li Wei sent Bian Ling home all the way. Bian Ling expressed his gratitude to Li Wei and the two waved goodbye.
The visa and passport matters have been taken care of. After work stopped, Li Wei went back to Huiliang first. The family members were very reluctant and worried about Li Wei going to such a distant place.
"Don't be like your second brother who went out without even a phone call. If calling from overseas is expensive, just write home." Liu Chunzhi instructed.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will miss you no matter where I go. It's convenient and fast to write emails now. I can also send you any photos I took outside. Besides, it's popular to use QQ now. Let me apply for a number. I’ll video chat with you then.”
Today, with the rapid development of communication, no matter how far away they are, communication tools can bring them closer.
"Besides, I will only be gone for one year, unlike my second brother who has been away for ten years."
Yang Man said to Li Wei in private: "The coat you bought for my mother was often worn a while ago. Whenever she met an acquaintance, she pointed at the coat and said it was bought by her daughter. You didn't see her expression, not to mention how proud she was. I usually buy a lot of clothes for her, but I have never seen her be so precious."
Li Wei said: "Our mother still has the same temper and hasn't changed after all these years."
Fortunately, Yang Man is a very open-minded person and will not feel uncomfortable over such a trivial matter. She continued: "Later, you called and agreed to go abroad. I heard from my father that she didn't sleep all night. A night of radio.”
In the past, Li Wei always felt that the parents in this family loved their two sons the most. Even if the second brother went abroad, the mother could not forget the younger son who was abroad. Later, when she went to study abroad, she gradually understood that what Liu Chunzhi was talking about was The one who is not around.
Li Wei went to his mother's room. Liu Chunzhi was sorting out the clothes she had taken back. Li Wei stepped forward and hugged her.
"Are you still a child, being so clingy?"
"I just want to hug you. If you don't hug me, I'm afraid I won't be able to hug you."
Liu Chunzhi felt that her daughter was a little silly at this time. She did not push her daughter away immediately. Instead, she asked her daughter with a smile: "Your birthday is coming soon. What delicious food do you want to eat? I will cook it for you."
"Don't I eat it every day? In fact, I don't think about birthdays that much. After all, I am already in my late twenties. I always feel that the days go by too fast, and the flowering period of women is short. In a blink of an eye, I am a middle-aged woman."
"You also know that your boss is old, so why are you still single and not selling yourself out?"
"Hey, these are two different things." Li Wei was afraid of his mother's urging to get married.
"Calculate how old you are, don't think you are still young. Then Chen Yating is married and has children. How about you?"
"I am different from her. This matter is not urgent. We will wait until I come back from the UK and my job is stable."
