C60 Chapter 60
Ambassador Juhua and his wife came and went in a hurry. Their trip to Gido was three days and three nights. After they left, everything returned to normal. The embassy became quiet, and I became alone again.
For a while, I've been on the roller coaster of emotions. Of course, it could also be said that I jumped on the roller coaster of emotions, up and down. Rising and falling. His work was not smooth, and he fell sick again. He almost lost his life, and his emotions fell to the bottom. I thought I could no longer hold on alone in Yoshido. I even thought of escaping. However, The series of events that followed seemed to have been specially arranged by God. He saved me once again. Brian gave me a prescription to let my body slowly recover. Participating in the Gido Independence Day inspection allowed me to regain my value in Gido, as well as the visit of Juhua. Let me regain my composure.
After the Ju Hua couple came, everything became different again. When they came, It was like a gate had been opened, and the people who were supposed to come in the country began to come. First, the Gido National Hospital's inspection team came. Then the medical team came, and I ran forward and then. . . I was busy with the reception arrangements, the inspection team came, The medical team came, food and accommodation, And the work, everything has to be settled with Yoshido, They were extremely busy. But I'm very busy and happy with this kind of work. I hope that there will be more people coming. That way, I won't be alone anymore. I've been alone for half a year, I don't want to be alone anymore.
Then it was Lu Shuqin. Not long after Ambassador Ju Hua and his wife left, I received a letter from Lu Shuqin. In the letter, Lu Shuqin said that she had received a notice. She wanted to come to Jido. I could read her excitement from the lines of her words, so I naturally couldn't contain my joy. I've been overseas for a few times, and I've been staying there for a long time. Lu Shuqin never took up her post. At first, it was the policy that did not allow it, but later on, the policy allowed it. However, Lu Shuqin had to look after her son in the country. This time, her son went to college, so she could be considered to have a different family background. We also have a chance to reunite overseas for the first time.
While I was happy, I felt uneasy again. I never dared to tell Lu Shuqin about my actual situation in Gido. I told Lu Shuqin that Jido has the best scenery. The freshest seafood. The embassy has a tropical courtyard with flowers blooming all year round. I also planted an endless supply of vegetables. What I didn't say was that I'm the only one in the embassy, The embassy was just a few thatched huts, so there was no meat to eat here. And no vegetables to eat. I have never told Lu Shuqin about all of this. If Lu Shuqin doesn't come, I hid it and came. He wouldn't have been able to hide it. I don't know if Lu Shuqin can accept this reality. The embassy that she is about to see and the one she imagined will have a huge difference. Even when I first came, I couldn't accept this difference. Can Lu Shuqin accept it?
Lu Shuqin loves cleanliness. In the few days before she came, I took her out of the house. I cleaned up the courtyard a few times. I wiped all the furniture and windows in the house, even the bronze plate hanging at the entrance of the embassy and the flagpole erected in the yard. He trimmed all the plants and trees in the courtyard. I also flipped through the vegetable field once more, and sprinkled the seeds on it. The vegetable field. I tried to plant it several times, and when I planted it, I was full of hope. When I was busy, I had no time to take care of it. In the end, it was all abandoned. Lu Shu Qin was coming. I can't be as disloyal as before. This time, I can only succeed. I can't fail.
The day Lu Shuqin arrived was exactly the 180th day of my arrival at Jido. It was also a Sunday. I went inside and outside to check again. I plucked a few flowers in the yard, stuck them in a vase, and then went to the fishing market to buy seafood.
The flight arrived at 5 PM. After having a simple lunch, I wanted to take a nap but couldn't sleep. It was so boring to turn around in the yard. He was waiting everywhere, so he might as well go to the airport. I said to myself.
"Big Brown, I'm going to the airport to pick up someone. You take care of the embassy. " After the blonde left, I handed the task of looking after the embassy to Big Brown.
King Brown shook the leaf, making a slight noise.
"What did you say? To whom? Don't care who you pick up. When the time comes, you'll know, "I'll say.
Just like that, I drove to the airport early in the morning.
Waiting at the airport, I have an unreal feeling. Several times. I can't be sure that I came to the airport to pick up Lu Shuqin. In my diplomatic career, I've been to the airport countless times. My diplomatic career is probably linked by going to the airport again and again. I went to the airport to pick up someone to take him away, I'll be going overseas through the airport. However, among them, Not once was it connected to Lu Shuqin. Even if there was, there was. However, when I went abroad to return to China, Lu Shu Qin came to the airport to pick me up. That was only limited to the domestic airport. This time, In a while, Lu Shuqin would appear at this airport far away. I feel like I'm in a dream.
As my thoughts run wild, I suddenly realize that I can't remember what Lu Shuqin looks like. Over two years. No, I haven't seen her for almost three years. In my mind, Lu Shuqin is so thin that only a vague outline is left. After thinking about it carefully, Lu Shuqin in my mind. . . There are roughly three fixed scenes. One of them is the first time I saw her when I was in university. It was a meeting of the entire grade. For some reason, Out of all the girls, she left the deepest impression on me. That day, She wore a flowery shirt with a faint smile on her face. Perhaps it was that shallow smile that attracted me. One was the look of Lu Shuqin when she went to the airport to see me off. That was the first time I went abroad after marriage. When I was complaining about something else, I saw Lu Shu Qin's eyes rolling with sparkling tears. I walked out for a while and turned around. She was still standing there. When she saw me turn around, she wiped her eyes. She waved at me. There was also a picture of the three of us in the photo. The photo was taken three years ago when I went to the photo studio to take it before I went to Kibi. I've always been by my side. I didn't dare to put the photo on the table. Instead, I put it in the drawer. Occasionally, I would take it out to take a look. The three of us were all smiling, but I could see the melancholy behind Lu Shuqin's smile. Now, these three images kept appearing in my mind. It was blurry.
It's been three years, and I'm sure I've aged. I said to myself. At least I am black and old. The ambassador's wife, Lin Yi, saw me at the airport and said that I've become black. That was a polite remark, but she didn't say that I've become old. Lu Shu Qin must have changed too. Then what would she become like?
I suddenly thought of a way to welcome Lu Shu Qin. Holding a bouquet of flowers is romantic. However, this romance can be imagined. It could not be put into action. I left the flowers at the embassy. Since there are no flowers to offer, I can only shake hands. Or hug. He definitely could not shake hands. It was too fair. Hugging is appropriate, I really want to hug Lu Shuqin. I really haven't publicly hugged Lu Shuqin. But wouldn't that be too flamboyant?
Time passed very slowly. Waiting time was always slow. I arrived at the airport about three hours earlier, but the plane was three hours later. Adding everything up, I waited at the airport for a full six hours. When I arrived at the airport, The sun had just set in the west when the plane arrived. It was already dark. Such a wait definitely wouldn't have any good feelings. It could only make people despair. It made people fall into the hell of emotions. This fall lasted for six hours. I suddenly worry that the plane might have encountered some sort of danger. My heart began to race. Lu Shuqin has never left the country. This is her first time leaving the country. She won't. . . A few times, I couldn't help but go to the service counter to ask: In the end, I didn't get any meaningful information. Where did the plane go? He didn't know when it would arrive.
Damnit. I can't act up, so I can only curse in my heart.
Just as I was about to lose all hope, the plane suddenly appeared. ITJUSTEOUTROM NOOWER. Things in the world were often like this, without logic.
Lu Shuqin got off the plane in the night. I quickly walked to the gangway and stood under it. When Lu Shuqin walked out of the cabin, I waved at her and watched her walk down the gangway. Lu Shuqin's back faced the final light in the horizon. It was the reverse light, so I couldn't see her face clearly. But I immediately recognized her figure. She was carrying a Kunbag on her back. She also carried a travel bag. Probably because the travel bag was too big, it was also filled with things. She held it with both hands.
Lu Shu Qin walked down the last step and I went up to greet her. I did have the urge to hug her, but I held it in. I subconsciously reached out and took the travel bag from Lu Shu Qin.
"You're here?" I vaguely said something. My voice was very soft and even I couldn't hear it clearly.
"It's so heavy," Lu Shuqin said as she handed the bag to me.
I wanted to ask her how she was doing on the way, so I opened my mouth and hesitated for a moment before swallowing the words that were about to come out of my mouth.
I carried my travel bag and walked out. Lu Shuqin followed behind me. I remembered that the first time I brought Lu Shuqin back to her hometown, she was like this on the mountain road. I walked in front while Lu Shuqin followed behind me.
