As soon as the plane had stabilized, He Shaoxiang opened the handbag at his feet, took out a science magazine from it, and as soon as he lowered his head, he focused on it.What do you write in the blank space with a pen while watching?As if there was no one else around. Zhiyun was bored sitting alone, and stretched her head to look at the magazine in He Shaoxiang's hand, only to see there were crooked graph lines and dense numbers, which seemed like a bible to her, and she couldn't understand at all.She had no choice but to turn her head out of the window, looking out at the golden-red clouds reflected by the sun.After watching for a while, he turned his head to look at He Shaoxiang, and saw that he was still the same as before, his eyes seemed to be attracted by the magnetic force in the magazine, staring straight at it, and the sharpened pencil in his hand , write and draw quickly.

Is this also like a honeymoon?Zhiyun thought unhappily, but was too embarrassed to say it out. She sat down for a while, before striking up a conversation and asking: What are you looking at? He Shaoxiang continued to write and draw, without any movement.Didn't hear you talking?Zhiyun raised his voice a little higher.ah?What are you asking me?He Shaoxiang raised his head as if waking up from a dream.I'm asking what are you watching?Zhiyun forced a smile and pointed to the magazine in his hand. oh?This one?This is the new arrival of Physics Magazine.He Shaoxiang picked up the magazine and shook it twice, then lowered his head to continue reading.

Do I have to watch it now?Have you forgotten what we are doing?Zhiyun raised her lips delicately. If I don't watch it now, I don't have time to watch it.In order to get married, I have delayed many things, and I have missed many books and articles that should be read!Take a look at the scenery outside first, then go get a newspaper and read it, don't talk to me, let me use this time to do something.He Shaoxiang said seriously.After finishing talking, I lowered my head to look and draw. Zhiyun flattened her pouty lips, and turned her gaze out of the window. Fortunately, from Zurich to Paris, only an hour and a half travel.After a while, those toy-sized houses and the Seine River as thin as a ribbon were already under their sight.

Zhiyun and He Shaoxiang lived in a newly opened hotel near the Eiffel Tower and went out for sightseeing every day.I went to the Palace of Versailles, the Louvre Oil Painting Museum, and the Notre-Dame Cathedral. In the evening, I went to the nightclub to watch performances and an opera Carmen.I also ate French cuisine.Zhiyun bought a fashion from Christian Dior.But whenever he has free time, He Shaoxiang will take out magazines to read, and if not, he will take out papers to write.But because the city of Paris is too beautiful and the fun is too much, Zhiyun doesn't interfere or blame He Shaoxiang for his spoiling the scenery, although he can't help but feel a little regretful.

After playing in Paris for four days, they flew to London, and then went to Madrid, Spain, where they saw cows, bought some leather goods such as bags and gloves, and then flew to Athens, Greece after having enough fun.There are many historical sites and places of interest in Athens, and the two of them are too busy to see them every day. They even took a car for a day to visit the Temple of Apollo.Women's jewelry in Greece is famous, every three or five shops on a street in Athens is a jewelry store, Zhiyun was full of praise when looking at the window, so He Shaoxiang generously gave her an antique-style ring inlaid with multicolored gemstones.The hotel they stayed in was very luxurious and comfortable, and there was a spacious platform outside the room. One night, after returning from a tired tour, Zhiyun stood on the platform and looked at it, and couldn't help but shouted:

Shaoxiang, come and see. ah?What are you looking at?He Shaoxiang ran out nervously, thinking what happened? You see, the moon is so round and big, it is really very Greek.Zhiyun pointed to the moon in the sky that was so bright that it was almost transparent, round like a big bronze mirror, and said with great joy. Well, it turned out that they told me to look at the moon. I thought something was wrong!Forget it, I'm tired after running all day today, don't look at the moon, go to bed early!He Shaoxiang took off his glasses, yawned, and went into the room by himself. The next stop in Athens is Rome.

Rome is the most informative city and the worst.They were busy visiting Sheng during the day, and hid in the hotel at night not daring to go out.So He Shaoxiang read and wrote papers for several nights.Zhiyun was also busy writing, but she wrote letters and scenery cards, and beautified the places she had seen and played with literary pens.She imagined the pride of her mother and father when they read the letter, and the envy of Chen Lingling and Zeng Manlin.She also wrote a letter to Jinghui and Yingge.Since leaving Munich, I haven't contacted Jinghui yet.Without Jinghui by her side, there would be no place to talk about what was on her mind.When a person is unhappy, he must have friends to share his worries, and when he is happy, he must also have friends to share his happiness. How Zhiyun hopes that Jinghui can see how she is living, how big her world is, and what she has seen and heard. How wide is it, and how did it jump out of the troubled little environment in Munich.

After Yingge returned to Israel, he sent a letter saying that he had entered a military hospital and everything was going well.Our medical standards and the treatment of doctors are not as good as those in Germany.But I can't be picky or disgusted because of this, I should just study harder, because if my country is inferior to others, I also have a responsibility.Yingge's letter was like her usual speech: sensible, honest, and not childish, which made Zhiyun feel a little inexplicably ashamed after reading it. Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is the last stop of the honeymoon trip, and the time is completely close to He Shaoxiang's conference. They arrived the day before the conference registration.

On the first night of registration, Mayor Harrison and his wife held a reception for representatives from various countries.Wearing a white satin cheongsam with green sequined butterflies, Zhiyun walked into the lobby of the city hall with He Shaoxiang on his arm.Her appearance caused many people to stop talking and turn their attention to her.A few reporters also kept twitching the camera trigger at her, as if the princess or queen had arrived.After a while, the mayor and his wife also came over. welcome.said the mayor politely. Mrs. He was so beautiful that we were all surprised.said the mayor's wife.She seemed to have a special appreciation for Zhiyun, and she dragged Zhiyun to talk about the weather, art, and music for a while.

Zhiyun faintly heard some ladies whispering, praising her and her beautiful cheongsam.She knew she was the center of attention, and it evoked memories of her radiant, show-stopping days at balls in Taipei.She felt that she belonged to this class, and such a noble occasion was suitable for her.When she was in a good mood, her conversation became stronger. She had never spoken German and English so gracefully and fluently.As soon as the mayor's wife left, He Shaoxiang led a group of people over: This is insider.Helena, let me introduce you: this is Dr. Putt, a Nobel laureate and president of the British Physical Society.This Dr. Mattoff is the Deputy Minister of Industry of West Germany.Professor Ziegler teaches at Caltech and also leads a research institute.Dr. Tomma is the chairman of the Austrian Institute of Physics and there are several other doctors, Zhiyun has not quite figured out their names.

After the introduction, all the doctors raised their wine glasses to drink with Zhiyun.Some said it was a great honor to know Mrs. He.Some said: May Mrs. He be beautiful forever.Others said: Mrs. He's presence has added a lot of color to our meeting.Zhiyunyu stood gracefully among a group of celebrities and scholars, smiled moderately, and talked generously and irrelevantly, such as the weather, travel, Greek temples, and oil painting galleries in Paris. He Shaoxiang smiled nerdyly beside him, unable to hide his contentment. Some of them are going to Zurich for a meeting soon!At that time, please come to our house to talk.He Shaoxiang said to Zhiyun with a smile, and then looked at those people again. It is an honor to be a guest at the house.Said the Nobel laureate. Chinese food is amazing, I have eaten it, um, the chairman of the Austrian Institute of Physics, the hand that is not holding the wine glass, pinched the thumb and index finger into a circle, shook it twice in the air, everyone laughed. At that time, we must invite everyone to come down to the house to try Chinese food.Zhiyun said with a smile of demeanor. On the return journey, He Shaoxiang put his arms around Zhiyun's waist and said: Honey, you make me so proud.Your social skills are second to none.Do you like this occasion?Now you understand, what kind of people we associate with?Therefore, we can't get too close to those who are dubious and can't make any name. Wu Zhiyun responded inadvertently.Still intoxicated by his own brilliance, reminiscing about the spotlight at the reception just now.What did you say?she asked. I said, the people we associate with are all celebrities and scholars around the world.He Shaoxiang repeated it again. Zhiyun understood that what he said was not three and four, and that the little people who could not make any name were nothing more than Chinese people like Yang Wenyan and Liao Jinghui, and he felt a little subconsciously disgusted.But at this time, she also saw clearly that He Shaoxiang's contacts were all top scientists and world-renowned figures. Today's Mrs. He is a noble wife, not Yu Zhiyun, a poor student in Munich.There is no white man in their Hefu.Maybe it really shouldn't be too close to someone who can't make a name for himself.So I didn't refute him.He Shaoxiang continued: When the meeting is held in Zurich, all these people will go, and we will have a big treat. When you go back, you should study the recipes as soon as possible, and you must cook some decent dishes.Westerners love to eat Chinese food. I'm worrying!Can my cooking skills be up to par?Zhiyun said in a worried tone. Why didn't you learn how to cook before you went abroad?He Shaoxiang felt very sorry. I thought I would go out to study, but I didn't expect to come out to cook, let alone being He Shaoxiang's wife, I would invite so many important people.Zhiyun said jokingly. If you study Chinese literature, there is no way out anyway. What are you doing if you don’t get married?You really should learn how to cook.He Shaoxiang thought it was very humorous. So you thought I married you because there was no way out!Zhiyun lowered his face. I don't mean that, didn't I say you make me proud?He Shaoxiang hastily said with an apologetic smile. The conference lasted for six days, He Shaoxiang went to the meeting, and Zhiyun participated in the wives' shows, and went out with the wives every day to watch fashion shows.Because she can speak English and German, and she is beautiful, she always attracts the attention of everyone.But because she was the only oriental person, she was a bit lonely. Although the foreign ladies talked with her enthusiastically, they always kept a certain distance from her and did not want to get too close to her.Sometimes others are in a group of three or five, but she walks alone silently. He Shaoxiang's speech was scheduled for the morning of the fourth day. After the speech, the chairman of the conference invited a dinner. During the dinner, everyone discussed the content of He Shaoxiang's thesis. They all agreed that the subject matter was novel and constructive, and they highly praised it.In the afternoon Zhiyun came back from a tired tour, just as He Shaoxiang also came back from the venue, seeing He Shaoxiang's smooth face was full of smiles, Zhiyun asked: What is so happy?The speech must have been a success, right? Needless to say, my dissertations are rarely unsuccessful.He Shaoxiang shrugged his shoulders with a humorous attitude.Helanna, I said I would work hard for you, aren't you proud of me?He put his arms around Zhiyun's shoulders and kissed her neck. I am proud of you, didn't I say I admire your knowledge?Zhiyun narrowed his eyes and smiled.Ouch!You tickle me, you man. Let's change clothes!The dinner party starts at seven o'clock.He Shaoxiang let go of Zhiyun. Every day is either a dinner party or a trip, Zhiyun is as happy as if he is lost in the clouds. The day before leaving Copenhagen, Zhiyun and He Shaoxiang went shopping and passed a large leather goods store.so beautiful!I saw this style when I went to a fashion show that day.Zhiyun pointed at the expensive furs in the window, surprised and sighed. He Shaoxiang looked at those expensive coats for a while, and said: You should have one, Mrs. Clement and Mrs. Hao Li both have them. ah!Isn't that too expensive for us?There was surprise in Zhiyun's voice. It is a bit expensive for us.But other wives have them, and it's not good if you don't have them, you have to be up to standard. Zhiyun understands that the standard He Shaoxiang mentioned refers to the group of foreigners they associate with.She felt that it would be very difficult to keep up with them.But it is not easy to resist the temptation of those luxurious furs. If I buy a fur coat, wouldn't I have less money to buy a house?she said anxiously. According to me, we don't have to have any plans to buy a house for the time being.With our financial capacity, we can only buy an ordinary small house, so we might as well live in the current place.You see, anyone who comes to our house praises us for our exquisite living. After all, it is a villa!He Shaoxiang analyzed it. After discussing outside the door for a long time, the two finally went in. The clerk enthusiastically brought seven or eight mink fur coats in pure white, silver gray, light beige, and brown.Zhiyun tried on one by one, and every time he put on one, He Shaoxiang couldn't help praising it, and the shop assistant cheered him on.Zhiyun has long been fascinated by those fur coats, and feels that he must have one. How much is this?Zhiyun pointed to the silver-gray mink fur he was trying on. The clerk smiled and said the amount, and Zhiyun hurriedly calculated it in Deutsche Marks, and was taken aback by the combination.Eighteen thousand marks was exactly what she spent on studying for three years. This is too expensive.She took off the coat angrily. Is there a cheaper one?He Shaoxiang asked. In fact, this one is not expensive, it is cheap!But we have cheaper ones.The clerk said and brought another bunch. Zhiyun tried putting it on and taking it off again. Finally, He Shaoxiang wrote a check for 7,000 marks and bought Zhiyun a light beige mink coat. With our ability, is it not too much to buy such expensive clothes?On the way back, Zhiyun said excitedly and uneasy. This is not too much, we are different from ordinary Chinese, you have to dress noble.He Shaoxiang is generous and full of ambition.He also said: "The wife's dress just shows the husband's ability." He Shaoxiang's words flowed into Zhiyun's heart like a hot current, warming him.But she was also a little uneasy as if she had committed a crime. At the same time, she remembered a sentence Jiang Xiaofeng said: "I don't want to be an outstanding Chinese. I want to be like all Chinese. I belong to those people. I want to be bitter." If you want to be happy, I would like to be with them.It would be the depravity of my soul if my aim were only personal glory.At this moment, this sentence is like an oil mine that has gone wrong, popping up suddenly, and it is impossible to control it. Zhiyun was a little sad, seeing that he was too deeply poisoned by Jiang Xiaofeng's poison, and he always had a feeling of stealing life and safety anytime, anywhere.She really hated him, at least she would use hatred to forget him.She thought: She is the wife of the famous scientist He Shaoxiang, she is a good woman, she loves her husband, what is Jiang Xiaofeng?It was just a small episode in her long life journey, and now it has completely disappeared in her life.She would never think of those words between him and him again Zhiyun hugged He Shaoxiang affectionately, he turned his face to look at her, pushed the glasses frame, and tightly clamped the hand on her arm. The honeymoon trip of three or four weeks was finally over. On the night of his return, He Shaoxiang put the two suitcases on the ground, clapped his hands, pushed down the glasses frames, and said: Alright, so far, we've had enough fun. These days I'm busy pursuing you and getting married, so I don't know how many important things I missed.Now the marriage is over, the honeymoon is over, and the house has all the mink fur and gems, so I have to restore it to its original state and live a peaceful life. Zhiyun was happy at first, but he was put off by what he said. He Shaoxiang really returned to the original state. He got up at six o'clock every day, did morning exercises, washed his face and shaved, went to the bathroom with the radio, and returned to the kitchen with the radio to have breakfast.When He Shaoxiang went to work, Zhiyun started a series of cleaning tasks, wiping the house, vacuuming the carpet, washing the bathtub and toilet.He Shaoxiang once suggested to use a cleaning woman to clean twice a week, which is the case in the homes of his foreign friends.Zhiyun is willing to come here by herself, in order to save a little money. It is too expensive for a while, and if it continues like this, she will never be able to afford a house. Besides, she has to help with some expenses when her elder brother goes abroad. Her mother always writes recently that Lingyun must go abroad.Their financial resources are not comparable to those of foreigners, since they can't fall behind on the surface, they have to save a little behind their backs. Once restored to the original state, He Shaoxiang's pre-marriage widower temper also recovered in the same way: he has a fixed place for everything, the coat must be hung on the second hook of the hanger, the hat is placed flat on the top beam, and the clothes in the cabinet are all fixed. Clothes should be hung loosely, and a certain distance should be kept between each piece. If they are accidentally touched together, he will be unhappy and say: Why do you touch my clothes?What should I do if I get wrinkled? Three or four days a week he would stay late in the lab and come back.If you come back early, you must lean on the high-back sofa in the study after dinner and take a nap for thirty minutes.Then he went to the wine cabinet in the dining room and poured half a glass of brandy and drank it in one gulp. After drinking the wine and feeling comfortable all over, he rubbed his hands together and said, "My dear, don't bother me."He just got into the study to do his work, either writing or reading. He worked all night and never came out of the study before eleven o'clock. He Shaoxiang likes to eat Western rice, always saying: I eat for nutrition, not for taste, Chinese rice is poor in nutrition.So they usually eat foreign food. In fact, Zhiyun is not very good at Chinese food or foreign food. She often frys the steak until it is as hard as cowhide. Politeness, verbal praise, all forgotten. In the days before the marriage, He Shaoxiang always came back at noon to accompany Zhiyun for lunch. After the marriage, because the road was too far and it took time to go back and forth, he also returned to Zhiyun's original state before he came to Switzerland, and never came back.Most of them have entertainment on Saturdays, and they go to foreign friends' homes. On Sunday mornings, He Shaoxiang reads books or writes papers as usual, and in the afternoon, he drives to nearby scenic spots for a walk.He has always been engrossed in his work, and he doesn't gossip while driving or walking, especially when walking, the eyeballs behind the glasses lens are shining like a fairy, straight, and often he can't even hear him calling a few times. What are you thinking about so preoccupied?Once Zhiyun asked. I was thinking about a question. Recently, I discovered a phenomenon in my experiment. I still haven't figured out why it happened?After He Shaoxiang finished answering, his eyes were wide open again, and he kept walking forward. The situation where He Shaoxiang lost control of his chatterbox before marriage and talked too much has completely disappeared, and his chatterbox seems to have been repaired again. There is no need for him to speak very little, and most of the time he frowned and thought about something.Sometimes when he was eating, he suddenly put down the knife and fork, stroked the table with one finger a few times, curved and straight, and then ate with a heavy head. what are you drawingZhiyun felt strange and couldn't help not asking. Thinking about a phenomenon.He Shaoxiang said simply.Continuing to think about his question, the whole person was lost in thought, as if he didn't know that sitting opposite him was his wife who he had pursued for nearly three years before getting it. He completely returned to the previous expression of being too forgetful. Dearest, don't forget to practice Chinese food according to the recipe, we are about to start a series of treats.All these years, I have eaten others for free, but now I have to pay them back.He Shaoxiang told Zhiyun so many times. Didn't you say that Chinese food is not as good as foreign food and lacks vitamins?Once Zhiyun was so depressed that he had nowhere to vent, so he was sent to the army. Of course, Chinese rice is not as rich in vitamins as foreign rice, but Westerners like novelty, so Chinese rice is better for them.He Shaoxiang said. When Zhiyun is at home alone, she likes to do housework. She vacuums the carpet, cleans the windows, and wipes off the dust on every piece of furniture. She is as diligent as a Swiss woman, and most Swiss women seem to be addicted to housework.When everything is cleaned up, she will sit on the velvet sofa in the living room, sip the scented tablets sent by her mother, and quietly look at this small world that belongs to her with appreciation.All of this, this peace, stability, and security are what she longed for before going abroad, but it took so long to get it. She cherishes it very much. But often when she sits and watches quietly, she will feel a very strange mood, as if the person sitting here is not her real self, but a stranger wearing a mask.He Shaoxiang often said that we are not the same as ordinary Chinese, we are on the same level as the most noble Westerners.She thinks what He Shaoxiang said is not an exaggeration.They do indeed live like the noblest Westerners, and they have what they have.They also live in classical luxury villas, antique luxury furniture, fashionable cars, furs and diamonds, are famous and have status, and have traveled to so many countries.Their social circle is extraordinary, and few of their friends do not have doctorate titles.Now, what she has now seems to be more and better than what she expected at first. When she slowly sips the fragrant hot tea and appreciates all these carefully, she often encourages herself to be content. Not to mention the Chinese, but the whole of Asia, how many people can achieve this kind of life?Some people may not be able to get one-tenth of what I have even after a lifetime of hard work. I should be satisfied.She often thinks so. The problem is that when she wants to return to thinking, the real feeling is the real feeling. Although she will have a kind of contented intoxication from time to time, it is more of an illusory feeling that cannot touch the sky or land.She didn't like this feeling very much. She repeatedly blamed and analyzed herself, and came to the conclusion that those deep-rooted pasts were still at work.She thought: No wonder, from Yu Zhiyun in Munich to Helana He today, the speed seems to be too fast and the distance is too far.Zhiyun is determined to get rid of the past and use all her heart and energy to adapt to the new life. The moment she decided to marry He Shaoxiang, she made that decision. She practiced cooking Chinese dishes according to the recipe, and invited guests several times to show off her talents. She also imitated the pomp of foreigners, covering the long table in the dining room with hot and clean tablecloths, and decorated with elegant Chinese porcelain and silverware. High-quality knives and forks, and a napkin that matches the tablecloth next to the tall crystal wine glass.Like those social ladies, she sat at the end of the table, with a reserved social smile on her face, saying that this year's winter came really early, that the famous Cézanne painting from the ╳╳ museum was stolen, and that the French Riviera La Beach also has seawater pollution, which is not painful or itchy.After dinner, the scientists talked about science, and the ladies talked about the weather, fashion and children. She had no children to talk about, so she just sat there gracefully and listened quietly. The wives of high-level European social circles like to hold a tea banquet, which is always at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and all the women are invited.This is the time for ladies to show their style. Zhiyun was invited by Dr. Hao Li's wife and Mrs. Herman, and found that they all had tea banquet porcelains that were especially exquisite and delicate, specially for women, and embroidered tablecloths. When they came back, they met He Shaoxiang Speaking of which, He Shaoxiang told her to quickly find a way to go to Hong Kong to buy Chinese-style ones.He said.The item was sent by airmail, and after receiving it, Zhiyun also invited two tea parties, each time four or five wives were invited, and the room was full of women chatting and laughing, talking with each other in a measured manner It is said that most of those words are not much different between talking about it and not talking about it, and it will not have any effect.But this is exactly the characteristic of the Taiping country. Switzerland has not fought a war for more than a hundred years, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Many people don't even know what sorrow is?What major events should they be asked to talk about?Once Mrs. He Man told Zhiyun the saddest thing in her life: I was only fifteen years old that year, and my favorite dog was Tyrone, and I would take him for a walk when I came back from school when I was free.One day, no matter how much I told him to go for a walk, he refused to go. I got angry and called him a lazy dog, but he didn't make a sound.Unexpectedly, it died that night. It turned out that it had a bad heart.I actually scolded it for being lazy, you see how regretful I am, I have been sad for a long time because of this matter, and then whenever I see someone holding a dog that looks like Tai Long on the street, I will think of poor Tai Long This is the sad history of these noble ladies in Europe. Compared with them, their hearts seem too fragile.The hearts of us Chinese can really tolerate thousands of kinds of pain.After hearing Mrs. He Man's words, Zhiyun thought so emotionally.In addition, she also thought of what Jiang Xiaofeng said about the sense of urgency, the sense of the times, and the sense of responsibility.It's strange to say that when she was in Munich, every time she heard Jiang Xiaofeng's theory, she was more or less disgusted. Now that no one sings these high-level theories, she often thinks of those words. Sometimes, she is alone Sitting in a comfortably and beautifully furnished room, one thinks of one's own country.At the beginning, she tried so hard to come out, but later she refused to go back at the expense of her love. However, what she misses the most now is the place that belongs to her.The peaceful days in front of her made her very satisfied at certain times, but an indescribable feeling like guilt occasionally troubled her.Several times, she thought of Jiang Xiaofeng's words: I don't want to be an outstanding Chinese, I want to be like all Chinese, I belong to those people.Whether it's suffering or pleasure, I'd like to be with them Since leaving Munich, she hadn't heard any news from Jiang Xiaofeng. A person with his character would certainly not write letters without understanding.He had completely receded and disappeared from her life, and she had made up her mind to forget him forever.It's just that she can forget his people, but she can't forget those words.
