The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 173

After returning home with his third brother Zhu Xingyuan, Zhu Juanjuan took advantage of his time reading the newspaper in the room, quietly took out the tonic left by his mother, slipped into the kitchen, washed his hands, and carefully cooked a pot of soup.

She was born in an official family. Before studying abroad, even the tea was brewed and served by servants.

After going to the United States, her father didn't allow her to bring anything except money, and she had to do all the big and small things by herself.

Three years have made her independent and capable. Not only is she excellent in her studies, but she has also developed the ability to cook.

How rare it was in the old days for a new woman who can truly bear the phrase "go up to the hall, go down to the kitchen".

Zhu Juanjuan asked the chef to pick up a lively fish from the pool and watched him clean it up.

This fish is very plump, and it was stored for the winter at home, and there are only a dozen or so fish in total.

Gu Qilan was coming today, she wanted this little brother to try something new, so she specially chose the biggest one.

The chef looked at the tumbling herbs in the casserole and cut the fish again, guessing that guests were coming to the house.

But only half of it was correct.

According to the appointment time with Qi Jiang, he would call Qi Lan to come to the house for dinner at noon.

Zhu Juanjuan's invitation to treat guests was originally voluntary, but now it is basically for keeping promises.

In fact, she prefers Qilan to come alone, eat and then take it back to her brother.

When I met Gu Qijiang last night, I thought it was a reminiscence, and I was very happy.

She didn't know that he confessed his love right away, and even held her hand tightly, which made her feel very embarrassed.

Gu Qijiang has known her for more than two months.

Every time I look at her, the eyes are very sincere and hot, and I almost moved her several times.

If it hadn't been for the trip to Tianjin to help my younger brother, and the troubles and misunderstandings after returning, maybe the two of them are together now.

Just because Zhu Juanjuan has never been in a formal relationship doesn't mean she doesn't have a boy she likes.

It's just that this secret love has never turned around.

At the end of summer three years ago, she and Ding Huan, as one of the few Chinese female students, knocked on the door of the University of California with a letter of notice.

A new life begins.The two felt that the on-campus dormitory was inconvenient, so they rented a house near the school, and developed a strong friendship over time.

That's when the story begins.

One night in the middle of the night, Ding Huan, who looked fine during the day, suddenly fell ill.

She clutched her stomach and complained of pain, Zhu Juanjuan had no choice but to muster up the courage to go out to find a hospital.

In addition to the wallet, he also hid a kitchen knife.

She plucked up the courage to walk at night, but she didn't know that some hooligans living nearby had already set their sights on their prey.

Going out alone this time just gave the hooligan hiding in the dark a chance to strike.

They blocked her halfway, and she took out a kitchen knife and prepared to die.

There was loud gunfire nearby.

The hooligan fled in fright.

A tall boy with sharp facial features rode a bicycle, smiled friendly, and asked her in Chinese:
"Miss, I see you are in a hurry, can I help you with anything?"

"I'm a new international student at the University of California, and my friend is sick..."

At first she thought it was an Asian policeman, but she didn't expect that she was also a freshman studying in the United States from Peking.

Coincidentally, they are still alumni.

He is a very adaptable person. Although he only came half a month earlier than her, he is very familiar with the surrounding environment of the school.

They sent Ding Huan to the hospital together.

Honestly, both girls like him.Qin Feng made them feel at ease in a foreign country, and they were vaguely moved.

Both of them have good looks and talents.

Dan Ding Huan is even better at dressing up, and he also knows how to grasp a man's weakness.

But Zhu Juanjuan loves to study more, and is ashamed to do the thing of women chasing men, so he is at a disadvantage.

Women's friendship is amazing.

The two continued to be friends in the United States, although not as close as they used to be.

After Ding Huan and Qin Feng broke up, Zhu Juanjuan tried to send him the photo in a letter, implicitly expressing his feelings, but there was no reply.

She acquiesced that he refused, in fact he didn't open it at all.

This fateful letter was sent just as he was doing an internship outside, and was randomly stuffed into a pile of materials that he had no time to read by his careless roommate.

As a result, Qin Feng packed it and other books and brought it back to the country, and randomly threw it in a corner: it has not been touched for more than a month after returning home.

Zhu Juanjuan, who had been waiting for a reply for a long time, witnessed two strange events in September.

One is that Ding Huan's fiancé who was in his prime suddenly died suddenly, and the other is that his elder brother Zhu Boyuan did not shy away from "Kefu" and insisted on proposing marriage.

When the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.

At the same time, she was embarrassed by the "blind date" deliberately arranged by the third wife of the Gu family.

On the other hand, her love and concern for Qilan forced her to ignore the people in Gu's mansion, including Gu Qijiang who she later met in the bookstore.

She has no love for Qi Jiang, only emotion and friendship.

Love at first sight is more than just a legend. When it really happens, people will lament the wonder of fate.

Qijiang rescued her without fear of danger, and gave her precious jewelry as a gift when he came to see her at home for the first time.

But what she can do is to pack the beautiful jewelry and delicious snacks for him to take away.

Her principle of love is rather lack than abuse.

Should I wait for Qin Feng, settle down with Qi Jiang, or start from scratch?
If Xiaojin hadn't been chased to the hospital by accident, she might have continued to struggle with the ownership of her relationship.

Breaking into the strange boy's ward by mistake gave her a long-lost feeling: whether it was a blessing or a curse, she didn't care.

Right now, she just wants to cook a bowl of soup quietly and deliver it to him who is hospitalized, even though she doesn't even know the identity and name of the other party.

The soup is finally ready.

Zhu Juanjuan drove to the hospital with the basket.

She walked up the stairs to the door of the ward and looked out of the window.

All his belongings were gone, except for an empty bed, sofa and cabinets.

Even the blood on the ground at the door was washed away by the cleaners, as if what she saw last night was just an illusory world.

She wiped the tears from her eyes, and took out a photo from her bag with both hands.

In the third year of middle school, Lin Yitang bid farewell to the campus.

That afternoon, Jianhua asked him to play football and take pictures.

Reunited yesterday, my old classmate gave him two photos that had been edited.

Lin Yitang came back from Jiangnan Hotel and was busy with injections, and later met Qin Feng who came to Lin's house, and after the marksmanship competition, he was in a terrible mood.

He didn't bother to take the photo out of his coat pocket until before going to bed to look at it.

Zhu Juanjuan took it unconsciously, and blushed for his behavior after returning home.

Holding the photo in her hand, she returned to the car in frustration.

After sighing, she tried to smile, turned around and rushed to school.

Love has been frustrated, but work is still there and needs to be taken seriously.

The school's enrollment registration in the morning has already started.

Female students from all over the country surrounded the office buildings of the teachers.

It was very difficult to get into girls' high schools back then, not to mention this is a newly established girls' university.

Zhu Juanjuan came out of the office with a thick stack of materials, and set up a table at the end of the corridor alone.

She looked at the faces of girls who were still childish, and thought of herself after graduating from high school.

At that time, there was no women's university, and she still wanted to study further, so she had to choose to go abroad.

Time flies, and she is standing on the podium in a blink of an eye.

She is very satisfied and very proud: the knowledge she has learned can be shared, and it is not in vain.

When Ding Huan returned to China, he also received an invitation letter to teach here, and threw it directly into the trash can.

He earns dozens of yuan a month, and he has to pay for a bottle of imported perfume out of his own pocket. He also has to give lectures, correct homework, compile teaching materials, and provide after-school tutoring.Even a courtesan is a hundred times better than a teacher.

　Good evening, babies.It's getting late, so you'd better watch it tomorrow.Good rest, good skin, beautiful.
