One big and one small are practicing love

After learning about the time for Liu Xiaochen's graduation defense, Zuo Kunmin began to take over the affairs in the UK and planned to return to China for a while.

On the one hand, there is Chu Tang's newly built building in London. The general direction has been basically established and the team is running relatively smoothly. Zuo Kunmin communicates with the chief engineer to determine the next construction plan.

On the other hand, there is the anti-dumping legal work, submitting necessary information to the Federal Circuit Court, meeting with the Ministry of Justice to discuss how to fight the next lawsuit, and what kind of help Zuo Kunmin can provide for this anti-dumping after returning to China.

In addition to work, there are also school transfer procedures for two children. Yes, Zuo Kunmin decided to take his two children back to China to study.

Zuo Yan has been suffering from diarrhea and vomiting for two consecutive months, even if she eats food flown from China. Now, Zuo Yan needs to go to the hospital every weekend for nutritional injections. I have been in the UK for four or five months and have lost seven or eight pounds.

Zuo Xu had four or five fights with his classmates. Some European and American boys looked down on Asian children and said some insulting words. Zuo Xu refused to accept and fought with them. They were a small group, four or five boys and one person. Even if he suffered a loss, Zuo Xu would still fight.

Bian Chang had dealt with it several times. Because the European and American boys had strong family backgrounds, the school did not deal with it seriously, resulting in those boys refusing to change despite repeated admonitions. Finally, Zuo Kunmin personally came forward to find the principal, their parents, and the law firm, and drove the little boys out of the school.

Although those boys were gone, Zuo Xu still didn't like this school. There is a huge cultural difference with the people around me, and I don’t like the courses here. Zuo Xu, who was originally lively and cheerful, became taciturn and depressed after one semester.

No matter how many people say how good the education here is, how rare the opportunity to study here is. Zuo Kunmin decided to take his children back to China. Physical and mental health was more important than studying.

Handing over work and handling children's school transfer procedures are heavy tasks and time is tight. In the end, Zuo Kunmin took his children back to Beijing on the day of Liu Xiaochen's graduation defense.

Due to the scorching heat outside that day, Zuo Yan's condition has not yet recovered, and Zuo Xu is also a little dizzy due to heatstroke. Zuo Kunmin left the children waiting in the car while he went to the classroom alone to find Liu Xiaochen. I want to wait for her to finish her defense, see her as soon as possible, take her to dinner, and celebrate her graduation.

It's midsummer, near noon, and the sun is scorching hot, shining directly on people's bodies. The skin of the forearms and the back of the neck is exposed, and it hurts from the scorching sun.

Zuo Kunmin strode with great joy, from the parking lot to the campus, then to the second teaching building, until he reached the classroom on the west side of the third floor, and immediately arrived at Classroom 306, where Liu Xiaochen defended his graduation.

I haven’t seen her for more than three months and I miss her very much. How would she react when she saw him suddenly appear? Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Xiaochen suddenly appeared ten meters away from classroom 306.

Seeing Liu Xiaochen from a distance, Zuo Kunmin was overjoyed at first. Then, he saw her face with tears on her face and her head hanging down in sadness. There was a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher beside her. Zuo Kunmin was shocked and confused. He walked a few steps in front of them and stretched out his hand to stop them.

Humbly ask the teacher why things happened.

From a close distance, Zuo Kunmin saw Liu Xiaochen's forehead covered with red and swollen acne. His originally bright and clear slender eyes were now dim and tired. Looking at it, Zuo Kunmin felt sad and thought, she must have endured a lot in the past three months, and she needs rest and comfort.

Zuo Kunmin was surprised when the director said that Liu Xiaochen had quarreled with the respondent teacher. He knew that she had always been forbearing, thoughtful, and polite, and would not do something inappropriate at such a critical moment. So Zuo Kunmin humbly explained to the teacher.

"Is there any misunderstanding? Student Liu Xiaochen always respects teachers and is a good boy. It is impossible to argue with the teacher."

"Who are you? What is your relationship with our students?"

"My dear!"

"Hire!"

Hearing Liu Xiaochen coldly say the word "employment", Zuo Kunmin felt a deep chill in his body and mind. Goosebumps immediately appeared on his arms, and fine cold sweat broke out on his back.

For a while, Zuo Kunmin's mind went blank, and he just stood stiffly in the bright sunshine, watching Liu Xiaochen step away and disappear. Zuo Kunmin didn't come back to his senses until his cell phone rang.

"Mr. Zuo, Xiaoxu and Yanyan asked me to call you. I want to ask you, have you finished Xiaoxu's defense?" Master Zhao said happily.

Zuo Kunmin took two deep breaths and said calmly: "Turn on the external speaker and let Yanyan and Xiaoxu listen to the call."

"Dad, Dad, have you picked up Teacher Xiaoxiao? It's so hot, our flowers are almost withering. Please hurry up and pick up Teacher Xiaoxiao. I want to give the most beautiful flowers to Teacher Xiaoxiao." Zuo. Continue to say warmly and cheerfully.

Zuo Kunmin raised his voice and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxu, Yanyan, dad made a mistake about Teacher Xiaoxiao's defense time. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Teacher Xiaoxiao today."

"Can I give the gifts and flowers to Teacher Xiaoxiao first?" Zuo Yan said.

"Hmm~" Zuo Kunmin raised his head and squinted his eyes, his eyes were painfully burned by the hot sunshine, and said: "Teacher Xiaoxiao is busy with school affairs now. It is very important and busy, so I can't see you. You guys go with me first Master Zhao, go back and have a good rest. I want to stay at the school and help Teacher Xiaoxiao handle graduation matters."

"But, can't we not disturb Teacher Xiaoxiao and just meet for a few minutes and give flowers and gifts to Teacher Xiaoxiao?" Zuo Xu said in a pleading tone.

"No!" Zuo Kunmin said categorically, a little impatiently: "I won't see you for a minute, okay, stop talking, you go home. I'm going to do my work as a teacher." After that, Just hung up the phone.

Putting his cell phone back into his pants pocket, Zuo Kunmin put his hands on the burning concrete platform and stood in the corridor on the third floor, overlooking the crowd of young lives on campus.

Each of them wore thin and beautiful clothes, their bodies were light, their steps were brisk, and they chatted enthusiastically. Even though he was so far away, Zuo Kunmin could still feel the strong and abundant vitality of life.

Calm down slowly and think.

I was once like them, with a sincere and innocent belief that my life energy was as clear, active and vigorous as a spring. Later, why did this energy decrease, deteriorate, and disappear?

Maybe it's the heavy work, maybe it's the complicated world, maybe it's a perfunctory life, or maybe it's the cruel laws of nature, his life is declining.

Thinking of the small state I saw just now, only three or four months of work, it was like a bright flower, roasted by the scorching sun, blown by the strong wind, and watered by the heavy rain. The delicate, soft petals left traces and even fell off.

Thinking about it, Zuo Kunmin felt relieved, and felt pity for Liu Xiaochen in his heart. Thinking about it, he didn't know when she needed help, and he didn't show up in time to help. She might be disappointed and angry with him, that's why she said those words just now.

After he was relieved, Zuo Kunmin immediately called the dean, and then contacted the director, examination supervisor, thesis supervisor... he humbly asked, communicated, explained, and asked them to meet for dinner.
