Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 878

Every time Luo Binhan stayed in Yu Qingshu's study for a long time, his eyes always fell on the bookcase at the end.The bookcase is not exclusive to Yu Qingshu alone. There are more than a dozen of Malcolm's collections lying in the corner, many of which are English albums, such as "One Hundred Common Flower Embroidery Patterns", "World Murals" Appreciation", "Identification of Common Trees in Europe", "Hairs on Standing: The Complete Series of Phantom of Baron".There are also children’s cartoons and popular science education books that Yu Xiaorong read when he was a child. Most of them have been donated to orphanages or community centers, and only five or six tattered books are left, which are leaning or pressing on Malcolm in a playful sense. Among the books in the book, it seems to be surrounding Malcolm's books.This kind of out-of-order joke must not be done by Yu Qingshu, but another family joke made by Malcolm.But in the end Yu Qingshu allowed him to do this, allowing that messy little corner to stay on the well-ordered bookshelf.

The rest of the books are all Yu Qingshu's.Rows of tomes are crowded. Judging from the monotonous cover binding, they must be boring and obscure legal works and legal provisions for laymen.There are also a few Chinese and English books that Luo Binhan is familiar with, such as "The Rain in the West Window", "The Strange Case of the Cave", and "Interviews with Federal Judges".He had read the Chinese version of "The Cave" when he was very young, and regarded it as an interesting story ignorantly.But now when he looks back, he always feels that Yu Qingshu didn't put this book in his extracurricular reading by accident.She never told him clearly, but there may have been a period of time when she left the job she was familiar with for too long, she expected her son to be interested in law, and even chose a job where she could provide guidance and help. cause.At that time, everything she has learned will be talked about, and her achievements will be admired by people who know how to do it, instead of being understated with a sentence of "a person who has read books".

It's all over now.All expectations and fantasies have come to nothing, but life has not been destroyed by it.Yu Xiaorong's tenacious and competitive personality comes from her mother, and Luo Binhan believes that people with their personality will not be defeated by failures other than death.

Yu Qingshu paced back and forth in front of the table.She glanced at Luo Binhan from time to time, but she always turned away quickly before Luo Binhan met her eyes.Through the fine wrinkles on her forehead, Luo Binhan seemed to be able to see the thoughts surging in that shrewd mind like waves.He didn't know what to say, he just wanted to wait for the other party to ask questions first.

"You should have told me earlier," she said.

"Ah." Luo Binhan said, "I... forgot."

"forget?"

"I didn't think about what to say. So, it's time to get on the plane."

Yu Qingshu glared at him, but was not really angry.She finally stopped pacing, indicating that she had recovered from the agitation.The turbulent waves in the mind will soon be reorganized, weaving the framework carefully, straightening out the order, and figuring out the ins and outs of everything.

"Does your dad know?"

"He found it out himself."

"In Lihai City or somewhere else?"

"Lihai. I went back there first."

Suddenly, Luo Binhan noticed a dazed look on his mother's face.He didn't want to understand what it meant, but the secret quickly disappeared from Yu Qingshu's face.She responded to his careful prying with professional inscrutability.

"You've got to get a full body check," she said, "parasitic and fungal infections. I had a former colleague who was traveling in Uganda for two months and he had a pustules on his arm, and a skinfly crawled out of it— — and malaria, have you used antimalarial drugs over there?"

"I'm fine."

"You just feel okay right now. If you wait until you find out that something hurts in your body, you won't be okay."

Luo Binhan sat crookedly on the chair, and nodded honestly.He thought it best not to argue with Yu Qingshu about this.He will not claim that he has checked, because Yu Qingshu will definitely ask to see his medical report.

"I'll check when I get back," he said.

"when are you going back?"

"Next Sunday night."

Yu Qingshu hesitated for a moment.She must have felt that it was unwise to delay the medical examination for a whole week, but she probably didn't want to rush her son who had just appeared at home to the airport immediately.And if she just made an appointment for a comprehensive physical examination in the local area now, her family doctor may not be able to spare time, and Luo Binhan would have boarded the plane long ago when the results came out.It just makes for a tiring and troublesome week for them all.

"I'll have a physical examination when I get back," Luo Binhan reiterated, "I'll send you the results of the physical examination."

"If you have any fever or pain, we have to go to the GP immediately."

"Okay, okay."

Yu Qingshu's face finally relaxed.She began to realize that this really didn't seem like a negotiation, and tried to act more like a reunion after a long absence—but it was still far from tender.It was more like she wanted to understand a major doubt.

"I'm still wondering what's going on," she whispered.

"what?"

Yu Qingshu bypassed his question again.Like Yu Xiaorong, she likes to have an advantage in information.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Medical examination?"

"I mean later."

Luo Binhan didn't quite understand what answer his mother wanted.Later, but how soon?One or two years?Or the rest of my life thereafter?He didn't intend to do anything, he didn't have any career or achievement that he aspired to pursue-and then, what is there to do here that counts as great achievements?

"Hmm..." He tentatively said, "In the future, just, life?"

"Can you take care of yourself?"

"almost?"

Yu Qingshu's lips twitched a few times.Mostly she was going to say something about old age, illness, assets and Alzheimer's.She took on the murder of a nursing home nurse and the asset fraud of a demented elderly man by her fellow lawyers.Luo Binhan and Yu Xiaorong are familiar with each of these stories.And of course she knew that repeating a fact upside down would not improve a long-standing stalemate.She is aware of it, but has not grasped the key point in her mind.

She changed her strategy and prevented Luo Binhan from guessing her next words: "Are you still planning to go to Africa?"

"Not sure." Luo Binhan said.He didn't want to talk to death, lest Jing Huang would fall from the sky to carry out kidnapping one day, "Shouldn't it?"

"Your father didn't say anything?"

"I haven't met him yet. But I don't think he's trying to say anything."

Luo Binhan thought for a while and added, "He plans to list the group."

"For what? Financing? Cashing out?"

"Not optimistic about the management ability of the next generation?" Luo Binhan said with a bit of stupidity on purpose.

"Where have you come?"

"I just heard some specific plans at noon today. I'm going to find someone to give financial guidance, I guess."

"He'd better find someone to sort out that bad debt." Yu Qingshu said coldly.

Luo Binhan pretended to be very interested in a thread on his sleeve.Yu Qingshu began to tidy up the stack of document bags on the desk that were already neat.She rearranged them pointlessly, and pressed the top of each bag down to the bottom.Finally she sighed and brushed the hair from her temples.Her hair was darker than Luo Binhan remembered, but still so neat and shiny.But that was just an illusion created by hair dye and barber's workmanship to impress clients, judges, and juries, and the wrinkles had deepened around the corners of her eyes.

"Let's not talk about that," she said wearily. "And you better not talk about it with people you don't plan on... What's next week's schedule?"

"Several meetings. Nothing else."

A trace of satisfaction finally appeared on Yu Qingshu's face. "I didn't expect such a coincidence." She tried her best to calm down her tone, making Luo Binhan feel that she was coaxing the child, "I will take two or three days off this week...the recent case is going well, we can go to the market Take a look in the park, or go to the park for a picnic. I still remember that you and Rongrong always fly kites at Lin Mansion, I really don’t know why you like that scary big kite—”

"Papa Regba's kite." Luo Binhan added, "Mar made it for her. It's a pity he's not here now."

"Not necessarily." His mother said in a strange tone.

Luo Binhan looked at her suspiciously.After recognizing the mysterious smile on Yu Qingshu's face, he opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Recently?"

"next week."

"I thought he'd be in Spain for at least a few more months."

"He said there was a bit of a change in the project, but it was a good one. It looks like another team has taken over and given them a break."

Luo Binhan was speechless for a moment.He felt that life had become too dramatic these days, but it was a surprise that Malcolm came back after all.

"That's great news," he said, and he knew it the second he said it.This was one of the announcements that Yu Qingshu was going to announce when he entered the door. Of course, it must be the one that Yu Xiaorong would like.He couldn't help asking a little curiously: "Any other good things?"

"About this..." Yu Qingshu said, "We'll talk about it later—I have to deal with the lobster first, I just remembered."

"lobster?"

"Liu Ling ordered a lot, and even gave me two. There are also oysters and crabs. I have to find out how to get them. If I don't have time tonight, it's best to raise them in the water first."

She walked quickly to the door, and Luo Binhan also followed to help.When he walked out of the study, Yu Xiaorong was standing near the stairs, idly studying the statue of Cooper.Luo Binhan saw at a glance that she must have been hiding outside the door and eavesdropping just now.

"Mom," Yu Xiaorong said, "I have something to talk to you alone."

"I have to deal with the seafood I brought first, fluff, and when it's later——"

"It's urgent."

Yu Qingshu looked at the cardboard boxes downstairs hesitantly, but her footsteps had already stopped.

"Another little secret?" Luo Binhan asked Yu Xiaorong with a smile.

"It's none of your business." Yu Xiaorong said.

Luo Binhan made a strange face at her. "I'm going to see the lobsters," he said, "you talk about yours."

Yu Xiaorong slipped into the study from beside him.Luo Binhan went to unpack the cardboard boxes downstairs and didn't take this matter to heart.He didn't think it was necessary to eavesdrop on Yu Xiaorong's conversation with her mother. If Yu Xiaorong had a new suspicious boyfriend, or was involved in some bloody murder case, she wouldn't take the initiative to tell her mother.It was either something at school, like a theatrical or parent-teacher conference, or some teenage girl confusion that he wasn't supposed to be a part of.

Dealing with Australian lobsters was much easier than dealing with Yu Xiaorong.They lay stupidly between the ice pack and the foam box, scrambling and waving their thin legs. Luo Binhan poked these idiots without pliers with his fingers, but they were powerless to fight back.Luo Binhan opened the other two boxes, removed the tape inside, and saw some fresh large clams and oysters.These things must have been secretly stuffed by Liu Ling to Yu Qingshu in the office of the firm, so they were wrapped in the kind of strong cardboard box used to hold large document boxes.Luo Binhan had never met Liu Ling, or in other words, hadn't met Liu Ling when he could remember. He only knew that she was his mother's senior.And without the help of such a senior who has already successfully taken root, it would not be so easy to gain a foothold in a foreign country alone.

None of these things is what Luo Binhan is good at cooking.He estimated that Yu Qingshu would not be smarter than him, and Malcolm, who lived by the sea in his childhood, might be handy.But can these long-distance seafood survive until Malcolm returns?Should I find an old water tank to raise it, or kill it and freeze it?He can't say well, so he can only search the Internet one by one.And when he was recalling whether there were fish tanks and air pump equipment in Malcolm's all-encompassing studio, the door of the upstairs study opened, and the mother and daughter came out of it one after another.

Luo Binhan looked up at them, and found that the expressions of both of them were intriguing.Yu Qingshu walked into his bedroom absent-mindedly, and seemed not as happy as before.Yu Xiaorong came to his side as if nothing had happened, squatted down and poked the two dumb-headed lobsters.

"Did you tell your mother about that painting?" Luo Binhan asked.

Yu Xiaorong did not answer, which is equivalent to a reluctant denial.Luo Binhan didn't want to rush her, because sooner or later, Yu Qingshu would find such a conspicuous object in the living room.Instead, he wanted to cheer her up more now, so he asked another thing: "Did your mother tell you?"

"what?"

"Mar will be back next week."

Yu Xiaorong's fingers poking at the lobster's tentacles stopped.Luo Binhan peeked at her, feeling amused.He thought that Yu Xiaorong must have talked to Yu Qingshu about some bad news about her studies just now, and maybe the teacher at the school asked for a private parent meeting, so that Yu Qingshu even forgot to tell Yu Xiaorong about Malcolm.He even heard a very vague conversation coming from the closed bedroom door upstairs, it must be someone Yu Qingshu was on the phone with.It was a little strange that he could vaguely tell that she was speaking Chinese from the tone and stammer.

He didn't show his curiosity on his face, because it was actually not a sound that a normal person should hear.He couldn't explain to Yu Xiaorong how he could hear Yu Qingshu's soft voice from so far away.

"Marr said it will take at least half a year to build those churches."

Luo Binhan drew his attention away from the movement upstairs, and repeated the answer he heard from Yu Qingshu: "It seems that someone has taken over their project."

He didn't consider at all whether it would cost Malcolm financially, because the jobs that Malcolm's friends offered him were always hot potatoes (to be fair, the jobs that Malcolm offered his friends were often about the same).They are romantic and idealistic people who are very good at protecting cultural relics and creating works of art, but they are almost helpless when trying to live a life of economic stability and healthy work and rest.Luo Binhan can sometimes imagine how Yu Qingshu and they look at each other: on the one hand, a wandering hippie who is not doing business properly, and on the other, an evil accomplice who helps the rich escape punishment.In any case, the friendship project probably won't make much money for Malcolm, or get lucky with a few wallets stolen.

This is all good news, but Yu Xiaorong is not as happy as he imagined.She just held Leo and leaned over to sniff the lobster's head, and pinched its mouth lightly, not allowing it to steal the melted ice water in the foam box.

"Really?" she said somewhat casually. "What a coincidence."

"What's the matter?" Luo Binhan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a coincidence."

"You won't beat someone up in school again? I saw someone saying that you were fighting with a classmate, and Hannah Zahn is still liking your homepage."

Yu Xiaorong frowned and said, "That's not from our school."

"But also a student? I remember it was a male student."

"Nick Judit." Yu Xiaorong said, "He is studying in Windmill Well, but he has a younger sister in our class."

"Where is the windmill well?"

"Linbin Comprehensive Middle School. It has a school gate called Windmill Well, which is half a street away from us."

"Oh, so he was in pre-professional?"

"He's an idiot." Yu Xiaorong said immediately.

"Rongrong," Luo Binhan warned, "You can't use this attitude to talk about people who study vocational education, your mother will be unhappy."

"I didn't talk about his education," Yu Xiaorong argued, but he still turned his head to look upstairs, "I said Nick Judit. He would pinch his sister's arm under his sleeve and let the dog scare her. I told him that if he went crazy in front of me next time, I would kick his crotch and push his face into the urinal."

"Don't do this." Luo Binhan persuaded with some insincerity, "Don't always solve the problem violently. He will find an opportunity to retaliate against you, you'd better guard against him now-does he have a gun at home? You have to at least Bring a handy stick?"

"They have a dog at home."

"We have one at home, too."

Luo Binhan reached out to touch Leo's ear, this time it didn't avoid it, but lowered its head docilely, letting Luo Binhan play with the hair on the top of its head.When it was a child, it liked to be gently pulled by the skin of its head like this.

"There's something wrong with that dog." Yu Xiaorong said, "It's called a pious disciple, and Judith said it's a Fadou. You'll recognize it when you see it."

"I wish I couldn't see. I'm not here to fight dogs."

Yu Xiaorong cast a silent and mysterious glance at him, then grabbed Leo's collar and left.She must have thought she could dig through Malcolm's treasure trove for a whole set of salt water tank equipment.
