Chapter 29 twenty eight

Zhiyun was supposed to be discharged from the hospital on Monday, but He Shaoxiang accommodated the hospital and came to pick her up on Sunday morning.The car was heading towards Switzerland. Yesterday afternoon, right after He Shaoxiang's marriage proposal, the two discussed everything properly.Zhiyun first went to Zurich for a few days to see the environment, and then returned to Munich to pick up the luggage and finish everything.According to Swiss law, foreigners have to live in Switzerland for more than six weeks and have all documents including birth certificates before they can get married in the country, so Zhiyun finished everything in Munich and immediately returned to Switzerland to go through the formalities.They plan to marry in Zurich seven weeks from now.

According to He Shaoxiang, there should be an engagement ceremony before Zhiyun returns to Munich, please invite familiar colleagues in the research institute.Zhiyun thought that she was going to get married soon, so why bother.As a result, He Shaoxiang followed Zhiyun and did not go through the formalities of engagement, but he insisted on buying an engagement ring and wearing it as a sign of solemnity. He Shaoxiang turned the steering wheel leisurely, and occasionally glanced sideways at Zhiyun next to him, thinking that she would become his wife in the near future, and he would no longer be alone, and there would always be her in his life, a kind of strange happiness The feeling almost made him intoxicated.

Helanna he couldn't help calling her. Um?do what?Zhiyun, who was watching the scenery, turned his face away. Are you happy?He Shaoxiang's smile surfaced again.From the moment Zhiyun agreed to his marriage, he seemed unable to keep himself from laughing. Well, happy.Zhiyun looked at He Shaoxiang and smiled. He Shaoxiang let out a long breath, looking very satisfied. Your passport is really troublesome. I spent a lot of trouble yesterday before they signed it.He suddenly shook his head.The tone seemed to be complaining, but the smile didn't fade at all.Fortunately, after we get married, you have a German passport.

Is a German passport convenient? Needless to say, you can come and go freely in many countries without a visa at all.He Shaoxiang increased his tone. Is that so?It's really unfair. Why do we have to make things difficult for those who use Chinese passports? I went to Sweden last summer, and the visa was really troublesome.Zhiyun sighed and sighed, and said unfairly. Of course it is different, what kind of country is Germany!He Shaoxiang glanced at Zhiyun, and asked gently what are you doing in Sweden?He remembered how he met Jiang Xiaofeng at Marlene Square last summer. Go to work!At that time, I didn't have a scholarship, so I couldn't do without working!Zhiyun said with a calm smile.

Hailanna He Shaoxiang patted Zhiyun's hand on his knee.You were too bitter before, from now on, I don't want you to live that kind of life anymore, I will do my best to make you live comfortably and well. Well, Shaoxiang Zhiyun felt warm in his heart. They ate lunch in a small town they passed on the road. He Shaoxiang specially ordered the famous Swiss country dishes, kebabs and fried potato cakes. Zhiyun ate very delicious, saying that Westerners are also good at cooking!Why do we Chinese always describe their big dish as a piece of bloody steak? He Shaoxiang smiled triumphantly and said:

Ordinary Chinese people have the opportunity to enter the social circle of Westerners, but their knowledge is of course limited.French food is even better!We will go to Paris to play in the future, and you will know then. Zhiyun was speechless when he heard this, and sighed in his heart.I feel that the living circle in the past was too narrow and pitiful. After coming out of the restaurant, the two walked around the streets of the small town for a while.On Sunday afternoon, all the well-dressed Swiss people went out for a walk. When they saw this pair of Orientals, they all stared at them as if they were watching a Western scene, and greeted them with a smile: Good day!

How do you say hello to people you don't know?Zhiyun asked He Shaoxiang strangely. This is the characteristic of small towns in Switzerland. They are very humane. People they don’t know automatically come up to say hello when they meet, but it’s not like this in big cities. They don’t pay attention to anyone when they walk on the street.Of course!If you said hello to everyone you met in Zurich's Bahnhof Street, I'm afraid your mouth would be broken, and He Shaoxiang's words would pour out like water.Ever since Zhiyun agreed to get married, he seemed to be a different person. His original shyness and dullness disappeared, and his eloquence became sharper.

How big is Zurich?How is it better than Munich?Zhiyun asked. Zurich is a commercial city, which is different from Munich, but it's very beautiful, and it's right by the lake. You'll know it later. There was an excited smile on Zhiyun's face, but he asked uncomfortably: Can I go to Director Clement's house like this? What's wrong?Professor Clement is my teacher and now my supervisor, and I know them very well.Last night when I came back, I called Mrs. Clement and said that you would come to play for a few days. Before I finished speaking, she said, please go live with me. Passed by and said a lot.

Well, then I can rest assured to live.But I didn't even bring any decent clothes, and I didn't prepare a gift for them.Zhiyun said in a regretful tone. I will take you to Station Street to buy two clothes tomorrow, and I will send you a gift later!You should ask Taiwan to send some Chinese things to give away. In fact, I have gifts for others, which were bought by my mother when I went abroad, such as embroidered shawls, coral rings and so on.As Zhiyun spoke, she recalled what her mother had said to her at that time: Anyway, everything is prepared for you, gifts for others, personal use, even the dowry is included.At the same time, she also thought of Jiang Xiaofeng's words about the dowry of knowledge, and suddenly lost interest and became preoccupied again.

Don't worry about this little thing, just pass by the flower stand later, and buy a bunch of flowers for Mrs. Clement.It's the same when you come back from Munich and give her a Chinese gift.He Shaoxiang was worried about Zhiyun as a gift! The Clements lived in a small medieval-style building on the shore of Lake Zurich. welcome.As soon as Zhiyun and He Shaoxiang walked in, Mrs. Clement came out with open arms, followed by Professor Clement. S． C．Where did you find such a pretty girl?They didn't let us know in advance, really shouldn't!Mrs. Clement took Zhiyun's hand and said loudly with a smile.She is about fifty years old, she looks a little bloated, her facial features are very correct, and she can see the demeanor of her youth.

Miss Yu, you are welcome to come and live.Professor Clement and Zhiyun shook hands warmly.He is tall and thin, with silver hair, not a single mottled hair can be found, and his face is full of wrinkles. At first glance, he looks like the kind of over-brained, scientist or scholar. Thank you, Professor Clement, Mrs. Professor.Zhiyun smiled politely.Give the flowers to Mrs. Clement. Don't call her Miss Yu, just call her Helanna!Seeing that the Clements and his wife really liked Zhiyun, He Shaoxiang was so happy from ear to ear. Of course, it's called Helena.Helena, you are so lovely, if I have a daughter like you!Mrs. Clement hugged Zhiyun's shoulder affectionately. Then everyone sat down to tea, and Mrs. Clement brought out a beautiful cake. Helena, I baked this plum cake just for you.hope you will like it.Mrs. Clement smiled, brought the cake to Zhiyun, and asked her to see it. so beautiful!Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that the taste must be good, and I already like it.Zhiyun said with a sweet smile. Seeing that Zhiyun could talk like this, He Shaoxiang's smile deepened even more.He also cheered on the side and said: Professor's wife's baked cake technique is famous.Helena, you have to follow suit. Someone as smart as Helanna must be able to learn it quickly.Mrs. Clement was very happy to be praised, and immediately told Zhiyun some secrets of baking cakes.Zhiyun has never done this before, and he doesn't even know what things like baking pans, egg mixers, and baking powder look like.But in order to be polite, she had to pretend to be interested and answered one by one. Mrs. Clement has a study of music, and after talking about baking cakes, she talks about music.When talking about music, Zhiyun and He Shaoxiang's smiles are not so natural.Mrs. Clement didn't notice it, she just talked about hers. Now the new music is like a new school painting, completely nonsense, without any sense of beauty.It’s better to use old music, like Bach, Mrs. Brahmscremen’s eloquence is amazing, they only need to listen to it, and it’s enough to say yes or no occasionally, and nothing else will be their turn.Professor Clement didn't say a word, just sat on the sofa and smoked his pipe.His eyes blinked, no one knew what he was thinking? S． C．Want to take a few days off?You have to play around with Helanna!After talking about music and painting, Mrs. Clement returned to the topic. I just want to take two days off, anyway, there will be many opportunities to play in Switzerland in the future.I won't be on vacation until mid-September. How beautiful the weather is now!Why wait until September to go on vacation?It was cold at that time.Mrs. Clement resumed the subject of vacation. Because we plan to get married in mid-September, we want to travel abroad.He Shaoxiang said with a bit of embarrassment. ah!Going on honeymoon, good plan.Mrs. Clement smiled and asked Zhi Yundao where she planned to spend her honeymoon? have not decided yet.Zhiyun smiled shyly.She really didn't know that He Shaoxiang had a honeymoon plan, he never mentioned it. I want to show Helena around Europe.Paris, London, Rome, these big cities are all going to have fun.Finally, I went to Denmark, because I have a seminar in Copenhagen in early October.Helanna must be very happy to play like this.He Shaoxiang looked at Zhiyun with a smile.Zhiyun was so excited that the blush on his cheeks deepened, and he also looked at He Shaoxiang with a big smile. Terrible, S. C．What a planner, so thoughtful.said Mrs. Clement. He Shaoxiang left after dinner, and Zhiyun helped Mrs. Clement finish cooking in the kitchen before returning to the upstairs bedroom. The night was quiet and clear, with a crescent moon.From the window, you can see the dark water of Lake Zurich.Zhiyun stood by the window for a while, and couldn't help but recall the feeling of looking at the moon from the window when he was working in the nursing home on the mountain that year.She hated this feeling and closed the window hastily. Zhiyun lay on the soft bed, as if lying in floating clouds, feeling that everything that happened around him was not real.She thought of Jiang Xiaofeng again, and the fragments of being with him included his fallacies.But that seems to be very far away, it no longer belongs to her current world, but it seems to belong to those lost childhood and teenage years, which have passed forever and will never return. When Zhiyun woke up, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning, she hurriedly washed up and went downstairs.Mrs. Clement was making breakfast in the kitchen, Zhiyun said good morning, and helped to carry the dishes. Did you sleep well?Is the bed still comfortable?Mrs. Clement kissed Zhiyun on the cheek. It's very comfortable, and I slept so well, if it weren't for the birds singing outside the window, I'm afraid I would still be asleep!Zhiyun said with a smile.She looked extra radiant after a good night's sleep.Is the professor up?she asked again. Get up early and take a walk in the back yard, the Swiss go to bed early and get up early, and we do as the Romans do.Mrs. Clement made the coffee and cut the bread quickly, without lagging behind her mouth.Helena, you chose S. C．Really smart and discerning. S． C．This person is so kind, good-tempered, humble, and always so satisfied. He has never seen him frown, nor heard him complain, and he has endured the big troubles quietly.They said, Dr. He is a Chinese after all, and only Chinese people have such good self-cultivation and such great endurance.Well, Helena, please pass me the tray Zhiyun took down a lacquer tray from the shelf, and put all the cream, jam and so on in it.Mrs. Clement took off her apron, took the coffee pot, and said: Originally, guests should not be allowed to do things, but I didn't treat you as a guest, I regarded you as a daughter.Helena, how old are you? Twenty-five.Zhiyun picked up the tray and walked into the dining room with Mrs. Clement. twenty five?One year younger than my daughter! Where is your daughter? Married and living in Germany.I also have a son who is twenty-eight years old and married to a Swiss wife who lives here and often visits us.Mrs. Clement said proudly. You look so young, you never thought you would have such big children. ah!Helena, I'm not as young as you think!Mrs. Clement was so flattered that she smiled. Professor Clement had already returned from a walk, and when he saw Zhiyun, he smiled and said, "Helanna, you are the Sun Goddess!"Look, how sunny it is today!All brought by you. Yesterday was also a good day!Zhiyun smiled tenderly. Don't forget, you came here yesterday!child.said Mrs. Clement. Professor Clement went to work in the laboratory after breakfast. When Zhiyun and Mrs. Clement were tidying up in the kitchen, He Shaoxiang came.He made an agreement with Zhiyun yesterday, and today he will accompany her to visit Zurich for a day. Let's go with the professor's wife too!He Shaoxiang said politely. What am I going to do?Let's talk about love! S． C．Tomorrow night, I invited Hao Li and Zhiman to let Hai Lanna know each other.Don't go out for dinner tomorrow! Must not go out.He Shaoxiang smiled modestly: The professor's wife is too kind to us. Zhiyun and He Shaoxiang came out, and after getting into the car, He Shaoxiang said happily: "The professor's wife really likes you, she is very kind and enthusiastic." She is enthusiastic, but she talks a little too much, which makes people a little tired.Zhiyun pursed his lips and laughed. The shops were closed on Monday morning, so they went directly to the lake to take a boat. Under the morning sun, the water of Lake Zurich is transparent and clear green, not the dark face of last night. There are rows of tables and chairs on the deck, and a canvas shed for wind and sun is built on it.Zhiyun and He Shaoxiang walked up, and He Shaoxiang said to Zhiyun: There are too many people here, too noisy, let's find a quiet place to sit. Why do these people speak either English or French?Zhiyun scanned the people seated with his eyes. Most of them are foreigners, they are here for vacation, now is the vacation season!He Shaoxiang had already found an empty chair near the railing of the boat.They were sitting facing out, and as soon as the boat moved, the wind blew strongly.Pack your heads!The wind is very strong.He Shaoxiang instructed Zhiyun. Zhiyun took out a gauze scarf from his purse to cover his head, and took out black glasses to put on. The boat moved forward slowly against the waves, and the continuous blue mountains retreated as the boat advanced, and the flashing golden lake water also retreated, and everything retreated.Zhiyun felt that his former self was also retreating, further and further away, and finally blurred to the point where he couldn't see clearly. Suddenly her waist was embraced by He Shaoxiang, she turned her head, and saw that he was staring at her bewilderedly under his glasses.She didn't move her body, nor did she take her gaze away. Among the yellow-haired and blue-eyed people on the boat, among the exotic mountains and rivers, He Shaoxiang was her only support, and she felt very close to him. Helena, who's in your family?He Shaoxiang asked softly in Zhiyun's ear.Zhiyun briefly talked about the situation at home, and finally said: My elder brother is undergoing military training, and my family wants me to find a way to go abroad for him! Isn't your brother my brother?I will find a way for him.He Shaoxiang generously agreed. Wu Zhiyun was moved and happy.Shaoxiang, you are so kind. Well, Hailanna He Shaoxiang was speechless.With his head down, he held Zhiyun with his other hand. I remember you said that your family lives in Singapore.Zhiyun began to inquire about his life experience. It's not that my family lives in Singapore, I don't have a home at all, it's my sister and stepmother who live there.Because my brother-in-law is an overseas Chinese in Singapore.I don't have much contact with them.He Shaoxiang said gloomyly, as if he was recalling something. Why don't you have much contact with them? Because my stepmother abused me.After my younger sister was born, even my father didn't like me anymore. My younger sister was the center of our family's life at home.I don't even have a foothold.I was an orphan when I was a child, always alone, very lonely.I just worked as hard as I could. On the one hand, it was fun to read, but on the other hand, I was determined to get ahead.I want to show it to them and make them regret it.He Shaoxiang said proudly.After a pause, there was another faint smile: Fortunately, my mind is still up to par, no matter which school I am in, I always come first in the exam.There are scholarships for studying in university, and public sponsorship for going abroad.I got to where I am today entirely on my own. How long has your father been dead?What was his occupation before? He is also a German student studying mechanics.Has been working as an engineer and also taught.But that was all in the past.He has been dead for more than ten years. Were you not in touch with them before your father died? We have been in contact all the time, just a few. Thinking of his attitude towards me, I don't have much to say to him, I just tell him about my studies and work.After my father passed away, I rarely wrote one or two letters a year with my stepmother and sister, and I didn't like them very much. In fact, there is no need to worry about the past so many years. I cannot forgive them.I am all on my own today, without any light from them.I am not sorry for them, they are sorry for me.He Shaoxiang said.Zhiyun was taken aback by the resoluteness of her tone, she didn't expect such a gentle and kind person like He Shaoxiang to play tricks on his personality. Helena, the only family I have in this world is you.He Shaoxiang hugged Zhiyun even tighter. They ate fried fresh fish in a small town along the lake, and when they returned to Zurich by boat, it was already afternoon and the shops were open.Now their program is shopping. The station street is very wide, and the buildings on both sides still maintain the European classical style.Watch shop, fashion shop, shoe shop, one after another, Zhiyun's eyes are dazzled.Especially those jewelry stores that shine brightly in the windows, red, green, iron, stone and pearls, every time Zhiyun passes by, Zhiyun has to stop and take a look. so beautiful!The newspaper said that Elizabeth Taylor bought a pair of earrings for $250,000 in Zurich, probably something like this.Zhiyun pointed to a pair of large emerald earrings studded with diamonds in the window. We can't afford such earrings, but you must have a diamond ring.Go, go in and have a look.He Xiangshao gently pushed Zhiyun's waist and entered the jewelry store. When Zhiyun came out of the jewelry store, he had already worn a two-carat diamond ring on his ring finger. Then she went shopping for clothes, Zhiyun tried on several pieces, all of which were the most popular styles in Paris, her figure was well-proportioned and slender, all of them fit well, she simply didn't know which one to get.In the end, I chose a white safflower gauze dress and a sky blue French mesh floor-sweeping evening dress.He Shaoxiang said: Tomorrow evening, Mrs. Professor will treat you, so you can put on new clothes.But the two new clothes are worth his food expenses for two months.At night, the street cafes are full of people, and the shops are all closed, only cars and trams are still running in the middle of the road. The crescent crescent rose again, and the blue sky was sprinkled with shining stars. The light on the cafe is very dim, and their seats are against the wall, so they are very private and no one can notice.The two had been chatting for a long time, but in fact, it was probably He Shaoxiang who was talking, Zhiyun was listening.Now He Shaoxiang's chatterbox has been completely opened up, and he is no longer the reserved and shy attitude he used to be. So you also talk so much?I thought you didn't like talking!Zhiyun said with a smile.Her face looked more beautiful than usual in the dim light.He Shaoxiang leaned on the back of the chair, intentionally pulling a little distance to see her. I'm such a nerd that I don't have a word with strangers.I usually talk about work, and I can speak that kind of words most clearly and clearly.General entertainment is not very good.He Shaoxiang smiled honestly. But these days you talk so much that it frightens people, and it has nothing to do with work. That's because with you, Hylana, I couldn't bear it, so I was anxious to tell you all the things I've been bored for so many years.You think, I'm not alone now!I have you.He Shaoxiang let out a long sigh of happiness.Hailana, your eyes didn't even blink, they stopped on Zhiyun's face, making her think he was going to ask: Do you love me?But he took another breath and said: What do you think of me as a person?Is it still advisable? Wu Zhiyun lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then looked up at him: Shaoxiang, I have always looked up to you, I admire your knowledge, I admire your achievements, you are an amazing person oh!Hailanna He Shaoxiang didn't wait for Zhiyun to finish speaking, he was already so excited that he leaned forward from the back of the chair. He held Zhiyun's hands and kissed her palms repeatedly.oh!Helena, I was so moved by your words, I had no idea I had such weight in your heart.Helena, look, I will work harder, study harder, write more papers, and I want to make you more satisfied and like me more.I want to make you happy and give you everything you like. He didn't know what to say to express his feelings, so he had to give her a series of promises. Zhiyun was taken aback by him at first, but then he couldn't help feeling a little bitter. Shaoxiang, you will never be so lonely again, those days are gone forever.I will always be with you, and I will do my best to make our life better.Zhiyun spoke very slowly, but with determination in every word. ah!He Lanna He Shaoxiang's throat was blocked by excessive excitement, and he couldn't say anything else.After staring at Zhiyun for a while, he finally mustered up the courage to kiss her, and she didn't refuse.It's just that the glasses on the bridge of his nose are a little in the way, and his heartbeat makes him think he's having a heart attack.At the age of forty-two, this was the first time he kissed a woman, and it was with a woman he loved deeply. His whole being was so happy that he seemed to be paralyzed.Helena, I want to work harder for you, he murmured.
