He Fang asked while wiping his hair, "You resigned?"
"How did you know?"
?
Li He had only handed in his resignation procedures not long ago. How did He Fang know so quickly? Moreover, the distance between their schools was not close.
"How big is the circle? Moreover, do you think you are an unknown person who pretends to be an ostrich so that no one can see you? " He Fang saw the water on the stove boiling and poured the water from the samovar into the pot. She continued, "Moreover, Chen Yun is here. How can you hide anything? I heard the teachers in our department talking about it this afternoon."
Li He shook his head helplessly. He had forgotten about Chen Yun, the big mouth. With her around, there was no way he could keep anything secret.
"So I'm not a famous physics expert?"
He did not expect that his name would become the topic of discussion.
"Physics expert?" He Fang looked Li He up and down, then smiled and said, "Not really. But your reputation as a reference is too famous. So many people have sat in on your classes before, so your reputation is still a little bit. To be honest, the few journal papers you have published are also quite influential. Many people at home and abroad cite your papers, and the number of citations is higher than some old professors. "
His citation rate was one of the indicators for evaluating the academic level of a university educator. Li He had written several papers in order to be evaluated as an associate professor.
"But who do you think I am?" Li He was a little complacent. The number of citations was an important quantitative indicator to evaluate a person's academic foundation. For him, this sense of accomplishment was more refreshing than earning billions. After all, professional theories were his solid foundation and ability. He felt very gratified to be recognized by others.
"Don't be so cocky. You should take a good rest after resigning."
Li He felt a little uncomfortable with He Fang's tone. Based on his understanding of He Fang, he thought that He Fang would complain about him, or at least say that he was a failure. He did not expect that she would just let it go so easily.
"Yes. I'm preparing to rest for the time being. "
He Fang sat on the chair. His body swayed along with one of her knees. It was a unique charm. She stood up abruptly and put down the tea in her hand. "It's nine o 'clock. I'll be leaving first."
"It's too late."
He Fang smiled and said, "I just came to see you. I was afraid that you would take things too hard. As long as you're fine. "
"Sister He." Four heard the noise and came out to greet He Fang. "Why are you going back so late? It's not like you don't have a place to sleep."
Li He also said, "It's fine if you want to go back, but I have to send you back. I can't be at ease if you go alone."
He Fang shook her head. "I don't need you to send me. I have my own legs."
Li He said, "Then let's rest here. Sleep with Li Bing. You don't have to make a blanket. "
He Fang nodded and did not object. Just as she was about to pick up the samovar to go to the kitchen to refill the water, Four snatched it away. "Sister, you rest. I'll do it." He took the samovar and went to the kitchen.
Li He turned his head and pretended not to see it. Being treated differently by his own sister naturally made him unhappy.
He Fang said, "Little Sister is getting more and more beautiful."
"I'm sorry for giving you so much trouble at school." Ever since Four came to the capital, He Fang took care of him more than he did. Li He knew this very well.
They had not chatted for a long time, and the two suddenly became polite.
"She mainly relies on herself. She's beautiful, good at her studies, and has a good temper. There's nothing she doesn't like."
"Based on what you said, she doesn't lack anything. Her temper isn't good. "She was just throwing a tantrum at Li He.
He Fang said, "No matter what, she's still better than you. She studies more seriously than you. In terms of temper, you can't say anything about her. She has the temper of a girl. Who doesn't? Do you think your temper is good? "
"Who can say that I have a bad temper?"
He Fang took a sip of tea and sat on the chair. "Most people who say you have a good temper don't know you well. I've known you for so many years, but I've never thought you had a good temper. "
"I didn't offend you, did I?"
He Fang said, "When you have a stubborn temper, no one can compare to you. I've never seen you lower your head to anyone, and you like to be stubborn. For example, this time, you dared to resign without a word. Only you would do something like that. So when I heard people say that you resigned, I believed it without a single doubt. I'm not surprised at all. To put it nicely, you're free and easy. To put it bluntly … "
She dragged out her words and looked at Li He.
Li He said, "Say it. I'm not angry."
"You're too arrogant." In the end, He Fang still said it. "It's as if the whole world is full of idiots, and you're the only one who understands."
Li He thought about it. He Fang was right. He was actually speechless.
Four came in and put the samovar back on the stove. Both of them shut their mouths in tacit understanding.
"Then I'll go to bed first. You guys wait for the water. "Li He took the kettle and went to the bedroom.
After washing his feet and face, he went to bed.
The next morning, he woke up before the rooster in the courtyard crowed. The sky was just beginning to brighten.
He saw Four cooking porridge in the kitchen alone. He asked, "Where's Sister He?"
Four added firewood to the stove as he said, "Left as soon as I woke up."
"Oh." Li He began to brush his teeth and wash his face expressionlessly. After that, he went out to buy some bread and fritters as usual. When he came back, he turned on the radio and waited for Four to start eating.
Listening to the weather report, he knew that today would be a good day. It would be good if it wasn't snowing or windy.
At the dining table, Four said, "Brother, when are we leaving?"
"The day after tomorrow." Li He ate the last mouthful of fritters and continued, "We'll go buy something later."
"Okay." Perhaps thinking about losing money yesterday, Four was still a little unhappy. After losing money, she didn't buy anything yesterday. She was still blaming herself for being so stupid. How could the money be so easily taken away by someone else when it was in her pocket? She was still a little regretful. She could even conjure up the appearance of the thief who stole her money in her mind. He must have had shifty eyes.
"We'll see if your Sister Fu Xia comes back later. We'll send the dog to her."
"If she comes back, she'll definitely come to your place first."
"That's true."
Seeing that Li He only cared about eating, Four couldn't help but say, "Brother, you've grown another year."
"Yeah, I've grown another year."
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Four said, "I'm worried for you. Li Pei is about to go to school. "
"What's wrong with you? Take care of yourself. "Li He finally understood the meaning behind her words.
Four had gone through a lot of trouble to get here, so she definitely couldn't give up so easily. She continued, "You promised Mother last year."
She was starting to worry for her brother. Even in the big city, he was the standard old man, and could even be classified as an old bachelor, let alone in his hometown.
"Why don't we not go back?" Only then did Li He remember the promise he made to Wang Yulan. He promised to get married this year, but now there was no sign of it. He wasn't afraid of his mother nagging, but he was afraid of his mother crying. Such a big killer weapon was also giving him a headache.
"I don't know how to fly alone." Four wouldn't agree. "Did you forget about the thief at the bus station last year? I was scared to death alone."
"That's true." Li He scratched his head. He was really worried about Four going back alone, so he could only suggest, "Why don't you not go back too? Stay here for the New Year. You can go to the temple fair and buy snacks. It's more lively than going back to your hometown."
"I'm homesick. Besides, if we don't go back for the New Year, Mother will be so disappointed. She's been waiting for us to go back for a year. "Four started to play the family card.
"Let me think about it." Li He began to consider the pros and cons. To go back or not to go back really made him a little conflicted. In the past, it would be fine if he was alone. It didn't matter if he was in the family or not. The key was that Four was with him now, and both of them were not going home for the New Year. According to Wang Yulan's temper, she would definitely be furious.
Four rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you want me to give you an idea?"
"What kind of ideas can you come up with?" If he couldn't bring his wife back, Wang Yulan would not stop. Li He knew this very well. Although Wang Yulan had a good temper, people with a good temper were often scarier when they acted up.
"Then bring her back. It'll be good to fool Mother."
"What a stupid idea. Eat your food." Li He continued to say impatiently, "She's a living person. Where can I find her?"
"There is. Sister He will definitely be happy to help. Besides, Sister He is beautiful and nice. Mother will definitely like her if you bring her back. Then she won't cause you trouble. "
Li He glared at her. "Even food can't stop your mouth. You only know how to talk nonsense. "
"I'm serious. Actually, Sister He is really nice. Brother, are you really not interested in Sister He? "
"No." Li He's words were tough, but only he knew his true thoughts.
"Sister He is such a nice person." Four was a little disappointed. He took a step back and probed, "What about Li Qiuhong? Although she's a little lazy, it's okay. I've been to the bathhouse with her a few times, hehe. "
This laughter was a little meaningful. She was a big girl and knew everything she needed to know.
Li He knocked her head with his chopsticks. "Why are you getting more and more ridiculous?"
"Then what kind of person are you looking for? Do you really want to find someone like Qin Youmi? "
"Yes, someone like her. What did she do to you?" Li He asked curiously.
"No, I don't agree."
Li He teased her. "Why do I need your permission to marry my wife? You're too much."
"I, I … I just don't agree." Fourth Brother was a little annoyed, but he put on an earnest and well-intentioned look and said, "She has a bad temper and doesn't have a good heart. If she marries a tigress, you won't have a good life for the rest of your life. You're my brother, how can I watch you jump into a fire pit? Just the day before yesterday, I took Dahuang out for a walk. Our Dahuang stood there and didn't provoke her, but she kicked him. I'm so angry. I want to tear her apart. "
"You also know that I'm your brother. Talk to me properly." Old Si's mischievous appearance made Li He unable to help but laugh. But then he thought about how bold Qin Youmi was. She even dared to kick Dahuang. She was treating a tiger like a sick cat.
Indeed, ignorance was bliss!
"Then what kind of person are you looking for? Can I find one for you? I know a lot of beautiful girls. Let me introduce them to you. Really. "Four was really anxious. She was the same as Wang Yulan. They both thought that Li He was the best. There was no girl that her brother couldn't match. There were only girls that he didn't like.
Li He pushed the bowl. "I'm done. Hurry up and eat. After you're done, clean up and let's go shopping."
Lao Si let out a heavy sigh helplessly. She was also deeply worried about this difficult problem in the family.
Before they left, Li He stuffed a lot of money into her hand.
"I'm not pretending anymore. I'll lose it." Once bitten, twice shy. Four didn't dare to pretend to have so much money anymore.
"I'm here. Let's go fishing. I'll chop whoever dares to reach out."
"Okay." With Li He's guarantee, Four felt a lot more secure. She was confident in Li He's fighting ability. The nearby villages all knew that her two brothers would fight. When she was in junior high, no one would dare to provoke her. As long as she said that her brother was Li Long or Erhe, no one would dare to touch her. If there was really someone who didn't know what to do, he could go home and cry to his third brother. Li Long would immediately stand up for her and teach her a lesson.
Sometimes, she felt that she was blessed.
When they arrived at the department store, Li He didn't go in. He let Four go in alone. He stood at the door and smoked.
The task that Li He gave her was to spend all three thousand yuan. If she didn't finish spending it, she wouldn't be allowed to go home. Four was troubled with spending money. It was useless to buy the big ones, and the small ones were worthless.
Old Fourth went in and out alone. Whenever she couldn't carry it, she would send it out and place it under Li He's feet so that he could guard it.
When the two of them returned home with big and small bags, it was already past noon. Four was so tired that she didn't want to cook anymore. Li He had to suggest going to a restaurant. Four cheered loudly.
That morning, the two of them were going to send Da Huang to Chang Jing's house before leaving, but Fu Xia came back. She also gave Four a lot of things, including food and useful things. Most of them were clothes. The new down jacket made Four very happy.
Li He found that Fu Xia had lost a lot of weight. Her face was no longer as round as before. He didn't have time to check with her. He just asked her to take Da Huang away.
He locked the door and gave her the key. He took Four to the taxi and went straight to the airport.
The journey was peaceful. It was only noon when they got off the plane and arrived at the provincial capital.
"I'm not hungry. Let's hurry up and take the car. "Four was eager to go home and didn't want to waste any time.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Five saw them and shouted. Li Laoer was back!
Li Laoer was back!
Only she knew whether she was happy or sad.
Wang Yulan also came out from afar to welcome them. When she saw her son and daughter come back, she was first surprised, then happy. Finally, she looked behind the two of them. She didn't even see a shadow, but her face darkened.
