Chapter 93 The Starting Point 7
When Tan Ke arrived home late at night, it was not surprising that the house lights were still on.
Xie Li jumped out of the study barefoot, rushed to the entrance, jumped up to hug him, only to find that he was holding a black box in his hand.
Xie Li couldn't help but took a step back: "Ah, this is..."
The urn wrapped in black cloth was put down by Tan Ke.He asked Xie Li to put on his shoes first, and he changed his shoes and went straight to the kitchen to wash his hands. Then he pulled Xie Li who had been following him around, and walked to the living room to sit down.
Xie Li secretly turned back to look at the urn, but was discovered by Tan Ke.
"Are you afraid?" Tan Ke asked him.
Xie Li shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
"That's good. It won't be removed until you put it at home for a while." Tan Ke said, patted Xie Li on his leg.
Xie Li understands.He kicked off his slippers and rubbed them, sat on his thighs and hugged his neck in a smooth manner, touched Tan Ke's face, and said, "Why do I feel like I haven't seen you anymore. Have you lost weight?"
Tan Ke supported Xie Li's buttocks: "Why do I think you are still gaining weight? Have you only eaten meat these days? Have you ever eaten vegetables?"
Xie Li chuckled, put his arms around his neck and acted coquettishly: "Because it's delicious. By the way, I want to tell you something. You are the first to know, and I haven't told the teacher yet."
Tan Ke already knew about it, but he put his arms around Xie Li's waist and pretended not to know on purpose.
Xie Li got down from his lap, clapped his slippers and ran to the study to get his mobile phone, then trotted over with one hand on his hip triumphantly, "Here, I'll show you!"
Tan Ke leaned on the sofa and glanced at the emails Sanders sent to Xie Li.After reading it, he put his phone aside, didn't speak, but kept looking up at Xie Li.
Xie Li felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and couldn't help leaning forward, half-kneeling in front of the sofa, with his hands resting on Tan Ke's legs: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tan Ke looked at him, as if looking at him, and as if looking at something else through him.
In the end, he pulled Xie Li back onto his lap: "I stayed in Kaner City for two days, and when I went out, I kept thinking that this might be the place where you lived, and that might be the place where my mother stayed. .”
Xie Li raised his head and thought for a while, before resolutely rejecting this possibility: "When I was young, I seldom left the orphanage far away, and my school was nearby, so we didn't allow running around."
Tan Ke didn't speak, just smiled and kissed him on the cheek, put his arms around him, and let him lean into his arms.
Obviously, the two times he went there were just rushing back and forth, and never stopped seriously, but because of the relationship between two important people, he and this unknown small northwest border town seemed to be naturally close.
It seems that there is an invisible hand that has brought them under the same net since a long time ago.
Shen Zhichuan came back the next day, Xie Li was going to school, and Tan Ke went to work as usual.
When he came home from get off work, Xie Li had already returned.
It may be to catch up on sleep, and there is no sound at home.
There is a big black bag next to the shoe cabinet in the entrance.Tan Ke opened it, and in the bag were an incense table, a bundle of incense sticks, a bunch of chrysanthemums, and a small bag of apples and oranges
Xie Li rubbed his eyes and came out of the bedroom: "Ah, I was too sleepy, so I didn't have time to take it out." He walked over, "I read on the Internet that it is better to keep the ashes at home and have offerings. So in the afternoon I ran Go out and buy some, can you take a look?"
Tan Ke and Tan Xin didn't even believe this, as can be seen from the fact that he took the urn home casually.Assistant Xiao didn't get orders from his boss, and he wouldn't make trouble for himself.
In the end, it was Xie Li who went to make a fuss.
Tan Ke put his arms around him and kissed him on the forehead: "Of course, it's all your wish."
Together with Tan Ke, Xie Li cleared out the TV cabinet in the living room and placed the urn there for incense table, flowers and fruits.
Xie Li sat on the ground sorting out the things that had been taken down, and asked casually, "Has the cemetery been chosen yet?"
Tan Ke hummed, but didn't elaborate.He removed the plastic wrapping from the incense sticks, turned to Xie Li and asked, "Do you want to come and have some incense? It's a formal meeting with my mother."
Of course Xie Li agreed, and immediately forgot about the cemetery.
It took several days for Xie Li to know what happened to the cemetery that Tan Ke had chosen for Ye Chunxi.
Xie Li was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Ah - I thought you would buy a cemetery."
"It is indeed a cemetery." Sitting behind the desk, Tan Ke said calmly, "The land was previously held by Changjing, and there are some policy reasons behind it that it cannot be sold or purchased. The area is too small and not suitable for commercial development. Assistant Xiao I have learned about it, and it can be transferred to the Houxue Foundation in the name of donation. The foundation will cooperate with Lanta to build an astronomy and history exhibition hall. At that time, a small garden will be built, and my mother's ashes will be buried there. .”
Xie Li couldn't tell the reason for his objection, this idea is actually quite good.But he just subconsciously felt that if Tan Qisheng knew about it, he might object.
Since Shen Zhichuan came back, he has been coordinating with Xie Li about going out to communicate.
The dean didn't want to release him even more than him, probably because of Shen Zhichuan's attitude, he was afraid that Xie Li wouldn't come back after he left.
Shen Zhichuan's eyes almost rolled to the sky: "His visitor visa is only for three years, and at the end of the three years, he has to return to China to 'serve' for two years. He has to come back anyway. Don't make such little calculations in your heart."
He turned his head and satirized Xie Li: "Besides, even if you don't mention it, some people still don't want to leave Ruanxiang."
Dean Gao couldn't do anything about Shen Zhichuan's temper, he was the most outstanding among this group of young teachers.
Besides, all colleges and universities are robbing people now, and he also heard that several schools have contacted Shen Zhichuan privately, and they probably have the willingness to poach people.
Astrophysics at Lanzhou University sees that the old ones are going to fade away one by one, and the new ones have not yet been lifted up. After all, Shen Zhichuan is the only one that can bear fruit. Cannot be poached away.
Shen Zhichuan led Xie Li out of Dean Gao's office, and when he walked downstairs, he stopped and grabbed Xie Li and asked again: "Are you really sure, stop thinking about it?"
Xie Li nodded without hesitation, "I'm sure."
Shen Zhichuan stayed in Brazil for a few days and was tanned, but even the arrogance he had before was gone, and he looked a little more approachable.
After all, he couldn't bear it anymore, he folded his arms and asked Xie Li, "What will you do if you regret it in the future?"
Xie Li smiled, without even a moment's hesitation: "Teacher, even if I realize that today's decision was a mistake, I will not regret it. At that time, I will immediately find a way to make up for this mistake."
What can a teacher say if his own students are like this.It can only be said that this is the unique pride and capital of young people.
It's fine to rush forward, at worst, fall into the pit and climb out.
Xie Li went back to the office, Cheng Guang hadn't come back yet, Tang Wanwan was packing his things.
The office was a mess, a mess.
With the help of Shen Zhichuan, Tang Wanwan rejoined Professor Zhang's team in Antarctica.Starting at the end of October, she now has to go to the imperial capital to join the team and do some preparations.
Xie Li was a little surprised why she had to clean up the office.
"I won't be back until April next year." Tang Wanwan said, "I'll probably just pack up and go to defend my graduation after I come back. The teacher told me to vacate the office for the new junior brother. By the way, have you seen someone Yet?"
Xie Li shook his head, he only heard that Shen Zhichuan recruited two new recruits.
Tang Wanwan just smiled: "One man and one woman, it feels very lively." She pouted towards Cheng Guang's seat, "Your second senior brother will suffer from it in the future."
She continued to pack her things, and asked Xie Li while packing the boxes: "Are you still planning to just communicate in the end?"
Xie Li knelt down to help her hold the box: "Sister, you must have heard something."
The news that he is going out has basically spread in the courtyard.The student who went with him had a big mouth, and he also guessed that he and Sanders talked for so long at the airport, it was impossible to just chat.
There are many people in the courtyard who are unhappy with Shen Zhichuan, thinking that he is arrogant, and from time to time he always puts on the most noble and clean appearance in the world.Many people spread rumors behind their backs, saying that Shen Zhichuan was actually unwilling to let him go, so Xie Li took the opportunity to transfer out in the name of communication.They were all waiting to see the joke about Shen Zhichuan throwing an outstanding student.
Some people bullied Xie Li because he was young, and even came here to inquire cheekily.
Xie Li explained at the beginning——no, he just went out to communicate and came back.As a result, the other party always showed an expression of "I understand everything is fine", which made Xie Li very irritable every time, and wanted to beat him up.
Of course, Tang Wanwan didn't mean to wait for a joke when he asked this question.Instead, she was afraid that Xie Li would not be able to bring up the matter because he was thinking about his feelings for Shen Zhichuan.
Xie Li shook his head: "No, the teacher actually supported me to transfer. He has persuaded me many times and asked me to think again. I don't want to go."
To be honest, Xie Li felt that he was tired of explaining, as if everyone couldn't understand why he didn't want to transfer.Some people even kindly advised him not to give up his studies just to fall in love.After all, men are unreliable.
Tang Wanwan listened to his complaints, while quickly sealing the tape on the carton, and heard Xie Li pinch his throat to imitate the man who said "men's love is unreliable" and "don't sacrifice yourself for men", and there was a pop laughed out.
She sealed the last box, stood up clapping her hands, and sat down on the chair: "When I got married, many people advised me not to get married. When I got divorced, they advised me not to leave."
She spread out carelessly in the chair, dangling her hands dangling by her side: "Actually, they didn't think highly of me getting married at that time, mainly because they didn't like Luo Zhi. As for persuading me not to divorce, there are more tricks. "
"I figured it out later when I was lying on the hospital bed—" She turned her head to look at Xie Li, who was squatting on the ground, listening to her with her head on her hands, "Actually, I was just afraid of making choices and bearing the consequences from the beginning to the end. , so I subconsciously chose a road that seemed easier. At first I really wanted to go to the public examination and give birth to the child. After all, it sounds safer, right? But I turned around and thought, when I got married It is already escaping, and if I continue to evade, I feel suffocated when I think about that kind of life. It will not be easier than choosing abortion and divorce. No matter how difficult it is after divorce, at least I am happy right now. As long as I am happy, there is no me The idea of sacrificing family for career."
Xie Li held her chin, thinking about what she said very seriously.
"Let me tell you again, you know that Cheng Guang plans to graduate and change careers, right? But his wife and children are living well now, and he doesn't think he is poor. I actually don't think this matter is so noble and so-called sacrifice, to put it bluntly It is that he feels that being able to make money to support his family and the satisfaction brought by making his family rich is far greater than burying his head in a paper. I heard someone mutter behind his back that Cheng Guang is going to sell himself for his wife. How regrettable. Actually, there is no Necessary, I think Cheng Guang simply loves family life."
"The same is true for you, there is no need to kidnap yourself morally. There is no right choice in this world, only what you want and what you can bear. Are you happy when you are in love? Are you happy; are you uncomfortable when you are separated from him? You are uncomfortable ; If you don’t switch to communication, you may lose some opportunities, can you accept it? You can. Then it’s over? As long as you are happy, there is no sacrifice in it.”
Tang Wanwan said enough was enough and had enough rest, he shook his hands and stood up: "Okay, let's do it like this. Your senior sister's poisonous chicken soup is sold out today. Come here and give your senior sister a helping hand."
When she walked to the door, she remembered to tell Xie Li again: "By the way, you must keep your mouth shut. Don't tell the teacher that's what I told you."
The author has something to say:--
Tang Wanwan: It's over when you're happy, just do it when you're happy!
Xie Li nodded frantically.
