"The Department of Technical Physics is much more tiring than the Department of Physics. I have taken over classes for a few days. I know that." Li He was deeply impressed by the difficulty of the courses in the Department of Technical Physics. The Department of Technical Physics involved many tedious experiments, and it was not something that could be solved with a few empty theories.
Yan Hong said, "Hu Yuanchao left. I went to pick up his class."
"Well, I saw him off when he left. He left a few days before you came back." Hu Yuanchao was involved in the main construction of the new nuclear power plant. The nuclear physics research of the Capital University was second to none in the country. If the older generation wanted to pass on the baton, they naturally had to choose a young man like him. No matter what, he had to bear the pressure.
When Hu Yuanchao left, Li He treated him to a meal. He did not say much and only gave him a pair of imported glasses.
He counted seriously. Whether it was his classmates or colleagues, there were more and more people leaving Beijing over the years. At first, it was Gao Aiguo who left, then Zhou Qing and Liu Hai who left. Just a few days ago, he sent Zha Haisheng away.
Zha Haisheng was going to Hu Jian to be in charge of the publicity work of the Provincial Department of Justice. He had become a divisional cadre before the age of 30. Needless to say, his future was smooth. As long as he did not make any big mistakes, his future would be smooth.
Li He looked at Zha Haisheng's shabby luggage and could not help but throw two thousand yuan to him. He did not forget to remind him, "Remember to pay me back."
Zha Haisheng said with a cheeky smile, "If you are worried, I will write you an IOU."
"Get lost."
Zha Haisheng said seriously, "Brother, then I will leave first."
"What are you waiting for?" Seeing that Zha Haisheng had passed the security check, Li He shouted, "Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."
"Sigh." Zha Haisheng didn't dare to turn back and strode away with a sobbing tone.
Every time Li He saw someone off, he would have to attend a drinking party. It was a very heart-wrenching process. The more he drank, the less people there were. Humans were just like that. They walked and stopped, stopped and walked. They knew a lot of people and forgot a lot of them.
Not only that, but Li He also didn't have many chances to get together with Mu Yan and Meng Jianguo. After they got married, their focus of life had shifted. Most of the time, they were focused on their family and their wives. How could they have time to talk to Li He?
Therefore, there were fewer and fewer places for Li He to freeload, fewer and fewer people to drink with, and fewer and fewer people to talk to.
He didn't really like the taste of wine, but he was greedy for the burning emotions and heart-to-heart words when friends were together. Young people had the scholarly aura of a timid person, but they also had the heroic aura of a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. Everyone was extremely competitive and it was the same at the drinking table. As long as they held their wine glasses, they would be able to deal with anything that came their way.
He felt lonely. Empty nesters also needed love and friends.
This time, when Yan Hong asked him to treat, he might have hesitated or even rejected her in the past. But this time, he agreed without hesitation. Maybe it was because he hated eating and drinking alone.
Zhou Ping brought out a few dishes and Li He pushed them all to Yan Hong. "Try it. It's not bad."
"It's not bad." Yan Hong picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl. Then, she used her chopsticks to pick up a bit and tasted it. She smiled at Li He. "Why don't we drink some wine? It's not fun to just eat. "
Li He said, "You don't seem to be a good drinker. If you're fine with it, I'm fine with it."
Yan Hong said, "You're looking down on me."
Zhou Ping said, "I have red wine here. I'll get it for you."
Li He said, "A bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine then."
Yan Hong said, "That's fine."
After Zhou Ping served the wine, she secretly gave Li He an encouraging look.
Li He pretended not to see it. Zhou Ping was a little strange today and he couldn't figure it out.
He drank the white wine and Yan Hong drank the red wine. The two of them drank very enthusiastically.
As they drank, Yan Hong's face was already red. She raised her glass high and said to Li He, "Let me say thank you again. Because I've seen a wider world. "
Li He clinked his glass with hers and said, "It's been so long. What's the point of saying this?"
He realized that Yan Hong's personality had really changed.
Everyone's personality changed as they grew older and more experienced in society. The only one who didn't change was probably himself.
Just as he raised his head and was about to gulp down the remaining glass of wine, he was stopped by Yan Hong.
"That's white wine. Why are you in such a hurry?" Yan Hong pressed Li He's glass on the table. "Drink slowly. I'm really, really grateful to you. If you go out and take a look in the future, you might regret not leaving earlier. "
Li He said affirmatively, "I won't regret it. You know that I'm a lazy person. I don't want to run around and mess around. Besides, didn't you come back anyway? "
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Actually, when the study period was about to end, I almost wavered." Yan Hong took a sip of wine and said in a yearning tone, "If I really stay, I can find a scientific research job, buy a house of my own, a car of my own, and drive on the highways of the United States to my heart's content. I can enjoy the sun, the sea, and the beach. I can live a carefree and carefree life. Do you know? I've always dreamed of this kind of life. "
"It's not just you, I've also dreamed of this kind of life." Li He felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. However, he immediately joked, "It's best to have a few servants at home. Some who specialize in cooking, some who specialize in cleaning. If you have a dog at home, then hire a dog walker."
"Hehe … Your paranoia is worse than mine." Yan Hong was amused by Li He's words.
Li He smiled and said, "It's everyone's right to pursue happiness and comfort."
"I thought you would say that this is petty bourgeois sentiment." Yan Hong became happier as she spoke. "You're different from others."
"How am I different? I don't eat people. "
Yan Hong shook her head drunkenly. "It's not that different. Anyway, I can't tell what's different. I feel comfortable talking to you. I feel happy. "
"You said that I'm too old-fashioned at noon."
Yan Hong closed her eyes. It took a long time for her to think of a suitable expression. "I mean, in terms of thinking, you're more tolerant than others. You can tolerate everyone, unlike them who are boring."
Li He said seriously, "No, many people are very tolerant, like Teacher Mu Yan, Meng Jianguo, and Liu Yibo. They're different from what you imagine. You don't know many of them, but you just don't understand them."
Many people just followed the atmosphere of society. They looked serious on the surface, but they were very tolerant and open-minded on the inside.
"Really?"
"Really."
After the meal, Yan Hong wanted to pay for the bill.
Li He said, "Didn't we agree that I'll treat you? Why are you fighting with me?"
Yan Hong patted her pocket. "I'll tell you after I pay."
However, Zhou Ping didn't take Yan Hong's money. She symbolically took five yuan from Li He.
Yan Hong said, "My money isn't money. You're such a bad boss."
Zhou Ping smiled and said, "We don't have a female customer paying the bill here."
After saying that, she winked at Li He.
After they left the restaurant, Li He wanted to send Yan Hong back.
Yan Hong said, "I want to take a walk. You can drive first. "
The street lights weren't very bright. Li He was worried about her walking alone at night. "It's better if I send you back."
