Man Lu

During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yujin really stayed at home with her children as he said, either playing with Baoli and Belle, or taking Weiwei with her.The three daughters are very close to him.

After the Lantern Festival, the director of the hospital called Zhang Yujin and tried his best to persuade Zhang Yujin to return to the hospital to continue working.The dean proposed Zhang Yujin's position, and was promoted from the director of the second surgery department to the director of the general surgery department, taking over Wang Min's position.There is a lot of looseness in working hours and job responsibilities.The most alluring thing was that the hospital offered to send Yujin to the UK headquarters for a year of study for free.

Zhang Yujin didn't reply immediately, and asked the dean to give him another three days, and then reply in three days.Zhang Yujin put down the phone, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

The call came at 09:30 in the morning, and the two talked for nearly half an hour.Hang up the phone, the clock points to the position of ten past five.

The Gu family telephone switchboard is in the lobby downstairs, and there are always four extensions, one each in Zhang Yujin's, Manzhen's, Weimin's, and Dali's rooms.Zhang Yujin answered Dean Li's phone call, and Man Lu was also in the room at the time.When the call came in, Man Lu didn't avoid it. Although she didn't hear what the dean said, she could still hear the general idea from Zhang Yujin's words.

Zhang Yujin hung up the phone and walked towards Man Lu who was in front of the desk.He simply repeated the content of the phone call, and then directly said that if Manlu did not object, he planned to go to England for a year of further study in a month.

Man Lu didn't say support or objection, but said flatly: "I respect your choice." With just these few words, Zhang Yujin knew that Man Lu didn't approve of him going to England for further studies.But he is a man, and he is also a man with strong ambitions. He certainly wants to make a difference in his career.

Zhang Yujin said earnestly: "Man Lu, this is a good opportunity. I just went abroad to study for a year, and one year is not long. I hope you will support me. Without your support, I will not go at ease."

Man Lu frowned and looked at him, and then said softly: "I have no objection now, and I have made the biggest concession. I'm sorry, but I don't have the kind of support you want." After she finished speaking, she walked out of the room .

Zhang Yujin watched her leave, feeling depressed for a while.

After that, the two were a bit in a cold war, and the two were often relatively silent.Zhang's mother felt something was wrong that day, and immediately arrested Zhang Yujin for questioning.Knowing that Zhang Yujin was one month away, she went to England to study for a year.Zhang's mother scolded Zhang Yujin directly.

Then he persuaded: "I know you want to learn something. But you also have to consider the current situation. Now that the country is at war, there is not necessarily peace abroad, and Hong Kong may not be able to avoid war. Do you think It's not that long, but if there is a real fight here, or something goes wrong abroad, what will you do if you let me and Manlu have three children?"

Zhang Yujin: "Mom, if I really miss this opportunity, I will regret it. I don't want to regret it in the future."

Zhang's mother: "Study is really so important, so important that my mother, wife and children don't want it?"

Zhang Yujin: "Mom, I'm just going to study, and it's only been a year."

Seeing that Zhang Yujin would not be persuaded, Zhang's mother became anxious and said, "Yujin, you are not alone now. You have a family, a wife and children, a child, and me. Can you feel at ease when you leave us like this? It's still you I just feel that your wife, children and old mother are taken care of by the Gu family, so you can go to study with peace of mind. What does the Gu family owe you?"

Zhang Yujin: "Mom, I just went to study, and it's only been a year. It's not that I won't come back. If I learn faster, maybe I will come back earlier. Besides, even if I am in Hong Kong, I spend very little time at home. .”

Zhang's mother: "I don't agree. I don't agree with what you say. And Yujin, don't make me look after your wife and children. You don't even..." Zhang's mother and Zhang Yujin talked unhappy that night. scattered.

On the second day, the rest of the Gu family learned from Zhang's mother that Zhang Yujin was going to study abroad for a year.Except for Weimin, everyone else disagrees.For this matter, Mrs. Gu talked to Zhang Yujin for the first time, but she still did not change her original intention.

On the third day, Zhang Yujin called Dean Li and agreed to go to England for a year of further study.For this year's training, after returning to China, Zhang Yujin must work in the hospital for five years before leaving. If he breaks the contract, he will compensate the hospital 3 yuan.At this time, Zhang Yujin's salary was only [-] yuan, even if she was promoted, it was only [-] yuan.

Zhang Yujin went back to the hospital on the fourth day to prepare for her further study in England a month later.

Because of Zhang Yujin's trip to study abroad, Manzhen was disappointed in love to the end.She watched Zhang Yujin and Man Lu walk over step by step.The more clear, the more disappointed.

One month later, Zhang Yujin took three boxes of clothes made for him by Manlu and gold bars worth 5000 yuan on board a ship bound for England.

Everyone in the Gu family came to see him off and the boat sailed. Zhang Yujin watched his mother, wife and children getting farther and farther away from him. He suddenly became uncertain about the future.My mother's words sounded in my ears: "Yujin, why did you go abroad for further study?" Why did he go abroad for further study?He can't give an answer that satisfies him now.

A year later, Zhang Yujin returned as scheduled.The two eldest children are three and a half years old, and they don't know him anymore.Only fifteen months, can walk and talk.For him, I don't want to be as repulsive as those two sisters, but I am not enthusiastic either.

Zhang's mother has aged a lot this year, but Man Lu's appearance has not changed much. , Zhang Yujin was quite satisfied with her study trip to the UK, apart from missing her family.

Half a month after returning to China, he went back to the hospital to resume his job. The position was still the same, and his salary was increased to [-] yuan per month.Zhang Yujin felt that his Man Lu was still just as good to him.He couldn't tell how good he was. She was still as careful about his basic necessities as before going abroad, but he always felt that something was missing.

This feeling was not until June of the second year after he returned to China, when his fourth daughter was born, did he know what was missing.
