Chapter 83:

Different regions on the earth are different during the day, whether it is snow or rain or sunny or wind, but most of them are similar at night.
Zhang Man leaned on the man's shoulder and suddenly thought of someone.
She raised her head hesitantly and looked at the man for a moment, her eyes a little complicated.
"Why, what did you do wrong? Look at me like that."
Li Wei stretched out his index finger and poked his wife's forehead. Seeing her intently, he touched her head again.
After so many years of marriage, as long as two people are in private, he still treats her like a dozen years ago, treating her as a child.
"Before you came on stage today, except for my mother and Chenchen who called, you...your grandfather also called, and I answered."
When the man heard this, his eyes were flat.
He leaned back, there was nothing strange in his tone: "What did he say?"
Zhang Man grabbed the sleeves of his pajamas, and then grabbed his fingers unnaturally for a while: "He said that he has found some unhealthy diseases. It may not be many days... until you return home next time. When he wanted to see you, what do you think?"
In fact, it is not the first time that Li Wei's grandfather has contacted them.
The first time, was it ten years ago?
...
Ten years ago, California, USA.
After Li Wei received his Ph.D. at Stanford, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at UCBerkeley for a year, while Zhang Man spent his third year as a doctor of medicine visit exchange at Stanford.
Everyone knows that there are two world-renowned top schools in the Bay Area, Berkeley and Stanford, facing each other across a Bay Bridge.
It takes two hours to drive back and forth between the two schools.
After the post-doctoral research, he successfully got a teaching position at Princeton University.
Good domestic multimedia reported this news. There are not many Chinese who have obtained faculty positions in the world's top universities, but like him, he is unique in getting the position of full professor at Princeton University at the age of 25.
Even the doctoral students under his hand are older than him.
The specialty of theoretical physics, like medicine, has a very high entry barrier and requires a lot of knowledge accumulation, which means it takes time to polish. It is very common for many researchers in this field to go to various research organizations or universities around the world after completing five or six years of doctoral studies.
But Li Wei has always been ahead. He has taught himself undergraduate content in middle and high school. During his undergraduate period, he published several high-quality papers that are difficult to publish at the doctoral level, including two top journals in this field, PhysicalReview Letters (PRL).
Therefore, it took him three years to complete his Ph.D., and after graduation, he only worked as a postdoc for one year before he got the teaching position.
This kind of achievement is really rare among young Chinese scientists, and even caused a sensation in the academic world. Physics researchers all over the world know the name of this young scientist. Of course, the domestic media are scrambling to report, hoping to have a positive and positive impact on society.
In the first month of Li Wei's employment, Zhang Man had just arrived in Princeton. While accompanying him, he sent resumes to major hospitals for interviews.
That day, Zhang Man happened to receive an official offer from a hospital near Princeton University.
Holding the laptop, she danced excitedly in the carpeted room. Seeing that the man on the bed did not have any expressions of excitement, she ran to him with extreme dissatisfaction and showed off: "Look, I got the offer! Alas, These news media all know that Prof. Li is very good, but no one knows that his wife is even better."
The man looked at her like this, his lips were soft and pampered, but there was still no surprise or excitement.
Zhang Man was so angry that he put his laptop back on his bed and pressed him down: "Why are you not surprised? Do you know what this means? It means that I can stay here and work legally and stay with you all the time. By your side!"
The man laughed, kissed her little nose, and suddenly put his arms around her: "Thanks for your hard work these years, Manman."
Thanks for you, keep walking towards me.
He often thought that being able to own her probably took all the luck of his last life.
How could there be such a girl in this world? He has never seen, unheard of.
From Big B, to Stanford, and now to Princeton...
During the summer vacation of the first year of high school, she was in his kitchen and solemnly told him that she would let him believe in her and that she would go to a university with him and never leave him.
In his senior year, he secretly signed the application for a graduate student of B but was discovered by her. That night, the two of them were walking by the lake of Weiming. She suddenly hugged him and said to his forehead: "Boyfriend, I can survive such a difficult physics contest, and I can go to Stanford. You believe me Once, okay?"
A few months ago, she hugged his waist on the bed, coquettishly but earnestly: "I must go if I get a teaching position, husband, I will be by your side. Believe me again. ?"
The man was holding his girl, feeling each other's heartbeat, and suddenly there was a burst of unspeakable warmth and sourness in his heart.
In fact, at every stage, he was ready to take a step back and be by her side, but she was able to take a step forward at the best time, standing next to him, holding his hand.
As early as the age of seventeen, he knew that this girl was gentle and powerful. She was his lifelong faith and hope.
The man let her lie on him, kissed her forehead, and there was a fine soreness on the tip of her heart: "Manman, you... don't you feel hard? Don't you feel... psychological imbalance?"
When he was in B, he had heard what some of her friends said about her. They said that in their relationship, she had always been at a disadvantage. They said that she loved him with all his heart and always followed him, and that she would suffer in the future.
Even he feels sorry for her. When she thinks that she is writing questions day and night during the competition, when she thinks that she stays in the laboratory for several days, when he thinks that she is so busy with the paper, he feels so distressed that his heart twitches.
He didn't want her to work so hard at all.
Zhang Man asked him solemnly, even the atmosphere in the room became calmer.
She grinned and laughed.
"Well, I'm very unbalanced. I'm going to be for another woman."
"How come their husband is not like you."
No one has ever loved her so much like him.
He lifted her up every morning, made her breakfast, and often had to coax her to get up.
During the year he was a postdoctoral fellow at Berkeley, he stubbornly lived near Stanford, no matter how busy he was, he still personally picked her up every day, but he had to drive back and forth two and a half hours to and from Berkeley and home.
For her, he learned to eat spicy food. It is not so convenient to eat authentic Sichuan food and Hunan food abroad. He personally follows the recipes. Nowadays, any boiled fish and spicy chicken are not a problem.
Over the years, he took her to see Hainan in the winter, Jiangnan in the drizzle, Lake Baikal in the spring breeze-he remembered every word she ever said.
At the wedding that year, he solemnly told Zhang Huifang and Uncle Xu that he would take good care of her in the future. After more than three years of marriage, he did it one by one, one by one.
She was by his side, enjoying the happiness she had never had before.
Zhang Man leaned against the man's warm and thick chest, listening to his shallow breathing and regular heartbeat, his nose suddenly sore.
From the age of sixteen to twenty-five, with nine years with him, she had long understood.
I have followed you a long way, but I can’t catch up with you and overcome all the darkness and torture. Even after thousands of hardships, I have to turn around and embrace me with a smile.
Zhang Man lay on him on the slightly moist night, the ambiguous breath getting stronger and stronger. The man's eyes were dark and dark, and finally couldn't help it, he held her lips and kissed lingeringly.
However, such a good atmosphere was destroyed by the bell, and the man frowned unhappy.
Zhang Man laughed at him again, turned over, and pushed him: "Answer the phone first."
After he picked it up, he was silent for a long time, stood up and walked to the window. It took a few minutes before he came back. He kept his head down and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Man joked and asked him sourly if he was a good old friend.
The corner of the man’s mouth raised: "Manman, do you know that the person who called was my grandfather who had disappeared for nearly 20 years. He said he is now in the United States and asked me if I will be free in two days. rice."
"He said, there are some things from my father that he forgot to give to me before."
Zhang Man couldn't help being silent when he heard it.
What father’s thing hasn’t been given for so many years, why did he remember to give it as soon as he got the faculty position in Princeton? It's just an excuse.
"Then are you going?"
She knew that his grandfather had contacted him in the previous life, but he didn't recognize his grandfather until he committed suicide.
The man sat on the bed with an unidentified smile on his face and played with her hair: "I don't want to go, life is limited, and there is no need to do something meaningless."
At that time, he was only twenty-five years old, and he hadn't been like this ten years later, and he completely adjusted his mentality. When he said these words, he brought a sharp tone that he was aware of.
He still cares.
Zhang Man's heart jumped involuntarily, turned around and hugged him, his tone dull: "Yeah."
...
The night in Stockholm is dark and peaceful, which seems to be the same as N City, Beijing, California, and Princeton.
"Your grandfather said that he was really sorry to you before. I hope you can forgive him based on his age. He also said...that his descendants of the Li family will go home one day."
In fact, it's all crooked.
Businessmen value culture and face more importantly. If Li Wei hadn't won the Nobel Prize, I'm afraid this call would not come back.
This time she answered the phone in person. After listening to the old man's words for a long time, she finally had a hard time. She wanted to hang up the phone several times, but she still listened to it patiently and said that she would tell him.
"Then...are you going?"
Zhang Man's hands circled around the man's chest.
His eyes tightened suddenly, and he rolled over to press her: "Rather than talk about irrelevant people or things, it's better to do something more meaningful."
Zhang Man looked up at him.
Obviously, it is similar to what he said ten years ago, but in his eyes, there is no more fluctuation or pain.
It’s good that not all encounters in this world should be forgiven.
She smiled and hooked his neck, bending her eyes: "Okay."
At the beginning of the cloud and rain, the sky gradually turned white.
The two dressed neatly in the room, opened the curtains, turned on the chandeliers, and dialed the video call across the Pacific Ocean.
The video was connected soon. It was noon in City N. Zhang Huifang had just finished eating with her child and was teaching her arithmetic.
A woman in her fifties still maintains a slender figure, her hair is slightly curled, and she wears a beautiful little dress. Next to her sits a six-year-old female doll. She has a pink and lovely smiling face, and her brows look like him. .
The woman's face was a little mad: "Five plus seven, five plus seven equals twelve, not fourteen!"
The little girl over there opened her big eyes and smiled brightly: "No, no, I counted with my fingers. It is equal to twenty-one. Grandma, look at me, one, two, three..."
"So why does your ring finger come down every time you break your little finger?"
The little girl thought for a long time, scratching her head, her eyes confused: "It seems to be... but it just came down with it, I don't know why."
After just worrying for a while, suddenly I caught a glimpse of the big ipad screen with the tip of my eyes, so I couldn't count it, and ran down from the chair: "Dad! Mommy!"
"Well, Chenchen baby."
Zhang Man turned his head and glanced at him.
The man's voice seemed to contain a ball of cotton, with such a gentle expression on his face, full of smiles.
The father and daughter started to play guessing games across the screen very tacitly, while Zhang Huifang took another ipad and video with Zhang Man.
"I told you to let Chenchen go back to study in China. Look at her kindergarten in the United States. She is almost seven years old, and she has to break her fingers in arithmetic."
Zhang Man smiled: "Here we pay more attention to children's hobbies and thinking development. I think it is more important than learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at a young age."
She blinked her eyes as she said, "Mom, is it because my brother has grown up and you want to take a baby again?"
Zhang Huifang gave birth to a big fat boy in her sophomore year, and she went to high school this year.
"I'm angry when I mention him. Now domestic high schools are not like yours. They are not allowed to study in the evening. He is better. You go to the Internet cafe every day after school. I and your Uncle Xu have caught him several times."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll call him next time and ask what's going on..."
"Can I take care of it? As soon as I tell him, I must quarrel, so you can take care of him when you return to China. Also, recently, your Uncle Xu’s legs are a bit bad. I'm thinking about asking you to bring him some calcium tablets next time you come back , I thought it was good before..."
"Well, what about grandma? How is grandma in these two days?"
"Your grandma is in good health, she goes out to dance with me every day, she's light..."
The mother and daughter talked about daily trivia.
A phone call lasted an entire hour.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Man looked at the smile on the man's lips and couldn't help but pounced on him and kissed him several times, so that his handsome face began to flush again.
The man's Adam’s apple rolled up and down and hugged her: "Manman, if this continues, do you still want to sleep today?"
Seeing the sky is bright.
She leaned into his ear badly and said something, then bit the mole on his earlobe, and as expected, she heard him inhale.
The man rolled over and pressed her, and the clothes he had just put on began to mess up again.
"You can give birth to as many children as you want..."
The early morning sun shone into the house through the gauze curtain, dispelling the darkness of the long night.
The man kissed his wife deeply and unknowingly tightened his arms.
What grandpa, what goes home, to him, it is too unrealistic, like a dream of nothingness when he was young.
He already has his own home.
The author has something to say:
This series is officially over! Regarding the previous life uf line, I have been conceiving it for a long time, and I don’t know if it is necessary to write it. After all, this life is the rebirth of the previous life. If you write another if line, it feels weird how to round it. If you write it, maybe it means writing the original tragedy ending. Do you still want to see it...hhh, I feel like I think about it.
