Liu Xinyu closed the door and did not rush to clean up. Instead, she looked around inside and outside.

The house is still the same house, nothing seems to have changed, and a lot seems to have changed.

All the kitchen utensils were put away, and the furniture and sewing machines were tightly covered with cloth.

There was a thin layer of dust on the small dining table outside, and it was obvious that no one had been there for some days.

After I go to school tomorrow, I will go to the Foreign Languages ​​Publishing House to see Fang Jizhen, but I don’t know if she is still at work.

While Liu Xinyu was cleaning up the house, she was thinking about tomorrow's arrangements.

When she thought of Fang Jizhen, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten one thing. She couldn't help but patted her forehead in annoyance. No wonder no one had cleaned up the house for some days!

Although Liu Xinyu rarely received letters from home, she often received letters from Fang Jizhen. Although she knew everything about Fang Jizhen's current situation, she also knew everything about her.

Fang Jizhen started working directly after graduation, and stayed in the capital to work as an English editor at a foreign language publishing house.

The job is not very good, but Fang Jizhen is very happy to be able to stay in the capital, and is very grateful to Liu Xinyu.

Because Liu Xinyu gave her the opportunity to make money by translating manuscripts and materials, and also allowed her to meet the editor-in-chief of a foreign language publishing house, and she got the opportunity to work in Beijing because of the praise of the editor-in-chief.

Fang Jizhen was already twenty-four years old when she went to college. After four years of college, she became a veritable old girl.

Unexpectedly, she would meet the other half of her life not long after joining the publishing house, and they got married six months after graduation.

The man is two years younger than her. He is a native of the capital city. His parents are well-educated intellectuals. Therefore, the family conditions are very good. After getting married, it is naturally impossible to live in this cramped house in Changchun Lane.

However, Fang Jizhen always remembered Liu Xinyu's entrustment to her, and would definitely come over every week to check and clean and dry the house to keep it clean and dry.

Half a year ago, Jizhen mentioned in a letter to Liu Xinyu the good news that she was pregnant with a baby, and the due date was in March.

Judging from the condition of this house, she probably has given birth, so instead of going to the publishing house to find her, I would go to her home to see her and the baby.

Thinking like this, Liu Xinyu speeded up cleaning the house.

Although she brought some gifts before returning to China, she did not prepare any special gifts for the baby. Of course, she would rather make gifts for the baby herself.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Xinyu rode her bicycle to Beijing University and went straight to the office of the director of the Spanish Department.

The head of the department was still the energetic little old man, but his hair was whiter. When he saw Liu Xinyu stunned for a while, he pointed at Liu Xinyu in surprise and said: "You kid, you don't even say hello to the school in advance when you come back! Come in quickly,

Sit down and talk."

Liu Xinyu placed the gift she brought back from the UK on the director's desk, and then said with a playful smile: "Did it scare you?"

The head of the department looked at the gifts on the table and nodded Liu Xinyu: "Don't scare me. I thought I wouldn't be able to come back until at least August."

"The professor really wanted to keep me for another year or two, but I missed home, so as soon as I got my graduation certificate, I bought a plane ticket to come back." Liu Xinyu said with a sweet smile.

Liu Xinyu is the student who is most satisfied with the department director, no one else.

It is because I am satisfied that I have this opportunity to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D. of course. I certainly hope that she will return from her studies as soon as possible and become a new blood in the Spanish Department.

The head of the department is very aware of the importance Professor Federman attaches to Liu Xinyu. He wants to keep Liu Xinyu, not just for one or two more years as Liu Xinyu said, but to join his research team.

Liu Xinyu was not dazzled by the superior living environment and treatment abroad. She returned to China immediately after completing her studies, which made the department director very satisfied. Her smile naturally became more genial, and her old face turned into a chrysanthemum.

Liu Xinyu is considered an international student sent by Beijing University. Of course, when she returns from her studies, Beijing University will arrange a job for her.

The school has been open for more than half a month, and teaching work can still be carried out for the time being.

Considering that Liu Xinyu had not been back to China for four years, she had to be given some time to deal with personal matters when she came back, so the department head was not in a hurry to arrange teaching work for Liu Xinyu, but asked with concern: "Have you been back home?"

Liu Xinyu shook her head in embarrassment: "I just arrived in the capital yesterday. I came to the school today mainly to report to the school and the department, and then I also wanted to take half a month's leave to go home and have a look."

Of course, the head of the department would not refuse Liu Xinyu's request for leave. If Liu Xinyu hadn't taken the initiative to come to the school, neither the school nor the department would have known that Liu Xinyu had returned from her studies ahead of schedule.

I haven’t returned to my country for four years. Of course I want to go home and see my relatives when I come back.

There was nothing wrong with asking for leave, but half a month was too little, so the department head directly asked Liu Xinyu to come back to work on April 2.

Of course, before going back to visit relatives, I have to go through the employment procedures first.

The dean of the department personally took Liu Xinyu to the principal's office to explain the situation, and soon issued an employment certificate and went through the employment procedures.

In this way, Liu Xinyu's identity changed from a student to a teacher. She happily thanked and said goodbye to the head of the department. While mentally debating whether to buy a train ticket first or go to Fang Jizhen's house to visit Fang Jizhen and her baby, she walked out and found herself at the turn of the stairs.

He bumped into someone, and the books the other person was holding were scattered on the floor.

Seeing the books scattered on the ground, Liu Xinyu apologized repeatedly and knelt down to help pick up the fallen books.

When she raised her head to look at the person she hit, her eyes widened in surprise. The person who was hit was Gu Jincheng.

Liu Xinyu really never expected that the first classmate she would see when she returned to China would be Gu Jincheng.

In fact, Liu Xinyu should have thought of this possibility. After all, Gu Jincheng continued to study at Peking University after graduation, but he studied journalism and communication as a graduate student.

"I thought it was really you, Liu Xinyu. When did you come back?" Seeing that the person in front of him was indeed Liu Xinyu, Gu Jincheng was surprised and happy. If Liu Xinyu hadn't reached out to help him, the book he was holding would have almost fallen to the ground again.

.

Of course, when old classmates met, they couldn't just throw away and leave, so Liu Xinyu had to follow the excited Gu Jincheng to the small cafe on campus.

Gu Jincheng placed a cup of coffee in front of Liu Xinyu, looked at Liu Xinyu silently, and said in an appreciative tone for a while: "I haven't seen you for four years, and you don't seem to have changed at all! Well, I can't say that you haven't changed. You are more intellectual, mature and more mature.

temperament."

Liu Xinyu picked up the coffee and took a sip. The taste was average, not comparable to the coffee in Edinburgh.

After listening to Gu Jincheng's words, Liu Xinyu smiled sweetly and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Squad Leader Gu. Squad Leader Gu is even more... handsome!"

Gu Jincheng's face stiffened slightly and he sighed inwardly.

Handsome? What's the use? You can't eat, drink, or even attract the woman in front of you to take another look!

He would rather Liu Xinyu praised him for being more stable than before.

It was only after Liu Xinyu went abroad that he calmed down to reflect on himself, and gradually realized how annoying he once was.

Of course, you have to learn from each experience.

Be as steady as possible in front of Liu Xinyu.

If he had been more stable before, he would certainly not have made Liu Xinyu tired of him and avoid him.
