From abandoned baby to CEO
Chapter 486: The tenaciously growing Elaeagnus jujube tree
When they arrived at the hotel, Teacher Xu had not arrived yet.
"Dad, you and Sun Xue talk, I'll pick up Teacher Xu." Xu Chen looked at Sun Xue with a smile.
Sun Xue grinned and winked at Xu Chen. Xu Chen pursed his lips and smiled, then turned and left.
snort!
This Xu Chen was not kind at all, leaving her here alone.
How she wanted to follow Xu Chen to pick up Teacher Xu!
After all, she was still a little nervous in front of Xu Chen's father.
On the other hand, Xu Chen's father looked kind and hurriedly called to the waiter standing next to him: "Here's a pot of the best Pu'er tea you have here, and two bottles of Feitian Maotai. By the way, Sun Xue, what kind of drink do you like?"
Sun Xue was stunned and replied with a smile: "Uncle, I can do anything."
"Which one do you prefer, coconut milk or almond milk? I think both drinks are good. Xu Chen's mother usually likes to drink coconut milk." Xu Chen's father asked for Sun Xue's opinion in a gentle tone.
Sun Xue hesitated for a moment and replied: "How about coconut juice."
Xu Chen's father told the waiter: "Okay, then bring two buckets of coconut juice and some fruit."
Xu Chen's father gently looked at the menu, raised his head and asked, "Sun Xue, are you from the north?"
"Yes, uncle, I'm from the northwest, from Quancheng City, my hometown."
"Sun Xue, do you prefer northern food or southern food?"
"Uncle, everything is fine."
Xu Chen's father immediately said to the waiter: "Please recommend to me the most distinctive northern cuisine here."
Sun Xue said hurriedly: "Uncle, just order according to your preference. If you are not used to northern food, don't worry about me."
Xu Chen's father said with a serious face: "Sun Xue, you're welcome! I can understand that being in a foreign country and being able to taste hometown food can relieve your homesickness."
Xu Chen's father's words made Sun Xue feel warm in her heart, and she was no longer polite.
Xu Chen's father chatted with Sun Xue while looking at the menu.
“I have taken many students from the northwest, and I really like their openness, honesty, and down-to-earth attitude. It’s true that the soil and water support each other!”
"The several doctoral students I have led from Northwest China are all excellent and are now teachers at universities in their respective hometowns. They have invited me to travel to Northwest China many times, but they have been too busy and have no time."
"To be honest, I quite yearn to go to the northwest and experience the vast desert, the vast Gobi Desert, the handsome mountain peaks, and the vast grasslands."
"In my impression, the northwest is a different kind of beauty. Desolate, solemn, atmospheric, sacred, and fascinating!"
Sun Xue couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he is a professor of the Chinese Department of the university. He is not only talkative, but also has great literary talent.
Sun Xue took the opportunity and said: "Uncle, if you have the opportunity to go to the northwest, I will take you to have a good tour."
Xu Chen's father was very happy, smiled and nodded: "Thank you Sun Xue, I will definitely do it! When your course is over, Xu Chen's mother and I will drive to your northwest to see the scenery and visit your home."
"Okay! Uncle, welcome to the northwest, and welcome to my home."
"Sun Xue, what do your parents do?"
Xu Chen's father had already ordered the food, put down the menu, took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and asked.
"I am an orphan. I was abandoned by my parents when I was born. I have lived with my grandfather since I was a child." Sun Xueluo replied generously.
Now, when someone asks her about her life experience, she will answer the question honestly and without hesitation.
She didn't feel that her life experience was anything to be ashamed of, and every time she answered, she was filled with gratitude.
She is grateful to her grandfather for raising her and to those people she met in life who helped her.
Hearing Sun Xue's words, Xu Chen's father was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's not easy! You are so good!"
Sun Xue noticed that Xu Chen's father seemed to be very interested in the hat on his head, and his eyes would fall on her head from time to time.
Sun Xue knew that even though she was wearing a hat, she still couldn't hide the fact that she was bald.
She simply took off her hat, showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and said proactively: "Uncle, are you curious about my bald head? A few months ago, I got leukemia, underwent chemotherapy, and shaved my hair. Fortunately, it is now Fully recovered."
"Leukemia? Chemotherapy is a very painful thing!" Xu Chen's father said in surprise.
"It's okay. I really couldn't accept it at first. But later I figured it out and accepted the reality. Birth, aging, illness and death are problems that everyone has to face."
Sun Xue replied calmly.
"Sun Xue, what you said is really good. You have such understanding and mentality, which is very admirable."
Immediately he remembered something again, got up, walked to the door of the private room, and pressed the bar pager.
Soon, the waiter who came after hearing the news appeared in the box with a smile.
Xu Chen's father politely ordered: "Don't use chili pepper in all the dishes I just ordered, and fry them lightly, with less salt and less oil."
When Sun Xue heard this, she knew that Xu Chen's father was thinking about himself.
She hurriedly added: "Uncle, no, I'm fine. Just do whatever you want, otherwise it won't affect the taste, and you and Teacher Xu will not be used to it."
The waiter looked at Xu Chen's father and then at Sun Xue, looking very embarrassed. Who should he listen to?
Xu Chen's father shook his head: "That's not possible. The diet should be light." He immediately told the waiter on the side again: "Just do what I just said."
Sun Xue glanced at Xu Chen's father gratefully: "Thank you, uncle!"
"Sun Xue, your story makes me stand in awe. You are a strong girl."
"I suddenly thought of a tree in the northwest. Do you want to know which tree my uncle is talking about?"
Sun Xue shook her head with a confused expression.
"Elaeagnus jujube tree."
"Yes! That's it. Although I have never seen this kind of tree that grows uniquely in the northwest, I know that it grows in deserts that are dry and lack water."
"It is not afraid of wind and sun, rain or frost, and it grows tenaciously in the harshest environment. It is said that it has a long flowering period, the flowers are intoxicating, and the fruits are particularly delicious. Is that true, Sun Xue?"
After Xu Chen's father finished speaking, he looked at Sun Xue with a smile and expectant look on his face.
Sun Xue nodded: "Yes, uncle, its floral fragrance is very strong. When I was a child, I used to break a few branches and put them in the house when they were blooming. The whole house was filled with fragrance. The fruits of Elaeagnus angustifolia are also delicious and very delicious. Very sweet and glutinous.”
Xu Chen's father nodded and smiled, and continued: "Sun Xue, don't you think your life is like the Elaeagnus jujube tree in your hometown?"
Sun Xue was elated when she was praised by Xu Chen's father, but if she thought about it carefully, her life was somewhat similar to that of the Elaeagnus angustifolia tree.
This metaphor is too appropriate! This Xu Chen’s father is so good at praising others!
"Thank you, uncle, your opinion of me is a bit too high!" Sun Xue said embarrassedly, but her heart felt warm and happy!
Xu Chen’s father chuckled and said, “It’s not high at all, I think it’s completely in line with your temperament!”
The two were chatting and laughing when they saw Teacher Xu and Xu Chen walking into the box one after another.
The sharp-eyed Xu Chen saw the two of them talking happily at a glance.
Xu Chen smiled a little unexpectedly: "Dad, what are you and Sun Xue talking about? You are so happy!"
