Chapter 37 New Year's Eve(1/2)
The next morning, Zhuoyue was sitting on the sofa playing with his cell phone.
At this time, Xiao Han pushed the door and smiled and said, "Zhuoyue, we want to go out together, let's go together!"
“Where to go?”
"There are many interesting places in Boston. We can go and see them, especially Harvard across the street, too."
OK!"
After Zhuoyue said that, he put away his phone and walked out with Xiao Han.
They are going back to China tomorrow. There are two universities in Cambridge, namely MIT and Harvard University, built across the river on both sides of the Charles River. After visiting Massachusetts this day, they went to Harvard and then to play in other downtown areas.
Two days later, Zhuoyue returned to school with his luggage.
Today is February 11th, New Year’s Eve!
The entire campus was deserted, with only the guardian and him.
The guardian opened the door for him and said, "The leader said, after you come back, I will give you the keys to the dormitory and library, and you will give them to me after school starts."
After saying that, give the key to the Excellence.
"Thank you!" Zhuoyue thanked him and took the key.
After entering the dormitory, he took a shower and took out the book to read.
It was almost noon and the phone rang, it was Professor Yang's phone number.
"Hey!" Zhuoyue answered the phone and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Teacher!"
"I'll ask my son to pick you up at school and come to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
"No, teacher, I just need to buy some food outside myself."
"How can you eat outside on New Year's Eve? You are alone. Isn't there a pair of chopsticks when you come to my house? Come on, wait at the school gate, and others will arrive soon."
After saying that, he hung up before Zhuoyue could speak.
Zhuoyue shook his head, closed the book, took out two from his luggage and put them in a tote bag in a beautiful box, which was a gift I bought in America, and walked out the door.
"It's snowing!" As soon as he left the dormitory building, he saw sparse snowflakes falling from the sky.
He stepped into the snow and walked slowly on campus!
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. The wind blew, rolling up the snow all over the sky. In the blink of an eye, snowflakes whirl and falling from the sky like petals.
He looked sad and walked with heavy steps down.
Ten years of life and death are boundless, and you will never forget it without thinking about it!
A lonely grave thousands of miles away, nowhere to talk about desolation!
It was also on such a winter day that his mother had passed away for a full ten years!
Five years later, it was like this winter again, and my father passed away!
Both young relatives died, and they will be separated from each other in the future. Who knows his pain?
When I walked to the school gate, a black BMW sedan was parked at the door.
A middle-aged man walked down from above and smiled and said, "It's outstanding!"
Zhuoyue looked at the middle-aged man and smiled and said, "Hello Uncle Yang!"
"Get in the car!"
Uncle Yang opened the car door for him, and Zhuoyue hurriedly said, "Uncle Yang, don't be so polite, I'll do it myself."
"Sit in!"
When Zhuoyue got into the car, Uncle Yang took the driver's seat to start the car.
While driving, he smiled and said, "My old man often talks about you, and today I can see a real person."
While the two were talking and laughing, the car drove into a community.
This is a community with very good greening, and the houses in the community are all duplex.
Uncle Yang led him upstairs. As soon as he reached the door, the door opened automatically. Zhuoyue said in surprise: "Brother Yang, why are you here?"
After saying that, he looked at Uncle Yang in surprise, then at Brother Yang, and suddenly realized, "So you are a family."
"Uncle Yang, what's your relationship?"
"He is my son." Uncle Yang looked at Yang Shuo and said, "You little brat, don't even say hello if you haven't seen anyone coming from your family?"
Zhuoyue hurriedly said: "No, Uncle Yang, Brother Yang and I are old acquaintances."
After saying that, he looked at Brother Yang and smiled, "Brother Yang, I didn't expect you to be Teacher Yang's grandson. You never said that before!"
Brother Yang made way out of his body and let them in and said, "My grandfather is a university professor, and it's not something worth showing off. I can tell you if I can meet people!"
"Excellent, here we come." Teacher Yang came downstairs while dressing at home.
"Happy New Year, Teacher!" Zhuoyue smiled and said, "Teacher, I bought this in America. Please accept it."
As he said that, he took out a beautifully packaged box from his handbag.
"Look at you, come and bring gifts."
"This gift is not worth much, teacher, please accept it!" Zhuo Yue said with a smile.
Professor Yang looked at Uncle Yang and Yang Shuo standing aside, and said injustice: "Look at his excellence, I have never accepted your gifts."
As he talked and laughed, he took it from Zhuoyue's hand. After opening it, there was a white jade Guanyin inside.
Professor Yang saw that it was really not worth much, so he accepted it without hesitation.
Uncle Yang and Brother Yang looked depressed.
"It's Xiaozhuo!" An energetic old woman walked out of the kitchen.
"Hello, Master's wife!" Zhuoyue smiled and said, "This is a gift I bought in America, please accept it."
As he said that, he took out a box that was exactly the same as Professor Yang.
"Really, you are still a student, how can you make you spend money to give gifts!"
Zhuoyue smiled and said, "I made some money in the competition, and this gift is not expensive. I can't be empty-handed when I meet for the first time!"
"This is the first time. You can't give it to me next time you come, otherwise I will definitely not accept it."
The master's wife took the gift from Zhuoyue's hand, and when she opened it, there was a white jade Buddha inside, and smiled and said, "It's a beautiful gift."
The teacher's wife looked at Professor Yang, Uncle Yang and Brother Yang, who were beside her, "Look at her excellence, I have never accepted your gifts."
"Have I sent you to you before?" Professor Yang said arrogantly.
"It's been so many years, and there's only a bouquet of flowers."
Zhuoyue smiled aside, and Professor Yang and the other two were very depressed.
"Come on, everyone will come to the table!" The teacher's wife greeted everyone.
After dinner, I chatted with Professor Yang's family for a long time. My teacher's wife also gave Zhuoyue a New Year's money, which made Zhuoyue very happy.
He hasn't received New Year's money for seven years.
Professor Yang smiled and said, "Now you have won the first place in the international theoretical physics competition. According to regulations, you are going to Massachusetts for two consecutive years to study for master's and doctoral students."
"Professor, can you not go?" Zhuo Yue smiled bitterly.
"Give me a reason. Such a good opportunity, no one can ask for it, but why don't you go?" Professor Yang asked seriously.
The others also looked at him, and the teacher's wife said, "Excellent, go ahead, this is a good opportunity. In Massachusetts, you can learn more knowledge and get in touch with more cutting-edge technology."
"Yes, excellence." Yang Shuo said: "When the time comes, we will go to Massachusetts together. I was alone, but I was not familiar with the place and I was not used to it. It would be great if I had you. We can live together and take care of each other."
"Yes!" Uncle Yang said: "Zhuoyue, go with Yang Shuo. I feel relieved that you brothers are together, otherwise I will not feel relieved if he is alone."
"Dad, what do I have to worry about you?" Yang Shuo looked at Uncle Yang speechlessly.
Uncle Yang glared at him, and Yang Shuo happily stuck out his tongue.
Zhuoyue took a deep breath, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I didn't want to talk about this. Since you asked this, I'll just say it!"
Everyone was curious, is there any other story here?
"I was born in a poor village in Xiaoyang County, Xun City, Ganzhou Province. It is the poorest place in Ganzhou Province. My father is the primary school mathematics teacher in the village, my mother is the primary school Chinese teacher, and I also have a sister who is ten years younger than me."
"And there is a sister?" Everyone was surprised. They had never heard of Zhuoyue having a sister, but only knew that Zhuoyue was an orphan.
"My mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to my sister. It was a winter and it was very snowing, just like today's snow."
Excellent eyes are filled with sadness and longing.
"My mother told me and my father to take good care of my sister before she died, but..."
Excellent shoulders shaking quickly, tears quickly overflowed in their eyes, and tears fell like pearls.
"But one evening, my father hadn't come back from school yet, and I was doing homework in the house. That year, my sister was three years old, and she was playing with people at the doorstep."
"After that my father left home to search for it. He came back two years later with illness and died soon after."
