After Xiang Nan packed up his home in Los Angeles, Zhong Ming also returned to Los Angeles from Jiangzhou.
"Dad, I saw mom." He reported to Xiang Nanhui.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Is she okay?"
"Fortunately. She has now become the vice principal of Fengfan Elementary School." Zhong Ming nodded, "But she is still alone."
Xiang Nan was stunned and said nothing.
"She lives with her grandma now. Grandpa unfortunately passed away three years ago." Zhong Ming added.
Xiang Nan sighed.
Three years ago, Xueer's father must have been sixty-seven years old. To be honest, he was not too old.
It's really a pity, the old man was very kind to him back then.
"Have you met them?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Yes." Zhong Ming nodded, "Mom and grandma cried a lot and said they were sorry for me. They have missed me all these years."
"This is my fault." Xiang Nan nodded, "Your mother and I should not use you as a bargaining chip to vent our anger. I have suffered for you for so many years."
"Dad, don't say that. Without your careful care and training over the past ten years, I wouldn't be where I am today." Zhong Ming waved his hand.
Xiang Nan was very pleased to hear what his son said, "They didn't scold me, right?"
"No, Mom has always regretted that she was too young and energetic. If I had communicated well with you, we wouldn't have gotten into this situation." Zhong Ming shook his head.
Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I can't blame her entirely. I have a greater responsibility."
"Dad, is it possible for you and Mom to reunite? As far as I know, Mom and you seem to be still married. After we left Jiangzhou, she didn't file for divorce for more than ten years." Zhong Ming added.
"It's hard to say, it depends on fate." Xiang Nan was stunned and waved his hand.
"Okay." Zhong Ming nodded and said nothing more.
…
Later, Zhong Ming entered the University of California, Los Angeles, and Xiang Nan entered the American College of Fashion Design and Business to study fashion design and cosmetology, implementing the spirit of living and learning until old age.
The reason why Xiang Nan wanted to study fashion design and cosmetology was mainly because he wanted to improve his taste.
In real life, he is not a person who knows how to dress well.
And this world is all about face. If you don't dress well, your original five-point appearance may be reduced to a four-point, three-point, or even two-point.
On the contrary, if you dress well, your appearance, which was originally three or four points, may be improved to more than five points. If you add clever makeup, it is possible to improve it to six points or even seven points.
This will make his love life smoother.
So he enrolled in the Fashion Design Business School, specializing in fashion design and cosmetology.
…
Four years later, Xiang Nan mastered a full set of clothing design, tailoring, pattern making, and production skills, as well as many tips on beauty, hairdressing, special effects makeup, etc.
At the same time, Zhong Ming also obtained a bachelor's degree and was admitted to the University of California for a master's degree in astrophysics to continue his studies.
For four years, Zhong Ming would return to Jiangzhou every holiday to visit Zhang Xueer. And he tried his best to bring his father and mother back together.
In this regard, Xiang Nan's attitude was to let nature take its course. Don’t force or refuse.
Anyway, he has a backup plan, and when his life is coming to an end, he will use the [World Stone] to return to the real world.
Even if the mission is judged to be a failure, he will basically not lose anything.
Because in his opinion, Zhong Yi has no special strengths.
His teaching level is relatively high. He can teach a poor student to be the best in the class in two months, but he has no other advantages.
But this advantage is of little use to him, after all, he is not a teacher.
Therefore, Zhong Yi's reward is nothing more than useless to him. It’s tasteless to eat, and it’s not a pity to throw it away.
Therefore, he is not afraid of mission failure at all. Unlike previous missions, in order to avoid failing the mission and dying in the mission world, he often had to swallow his anger and compromise.
…
In the next few years, Xiang Nan successively learned magic, talk show, philosophy and many other things.
After graduating from the University of California with a doctorate in astrophysics, Zhong Ming plans to work in China.
Because since 2030, China's innovation in the aerospace field has surpassed that of the United States.
Today, the largest radio telescope is in China, and the largest deep space telescope is also in China. If Zhong Ming wants to achieve higher achievements in the field of astrophysics, it is best to go to China for development.
Of course, Xiang Nan knew that Zhong Ming wanted to work in China, and the bigger reason was to bring him and Zhang Xueer back together.
In the past few years, my son has often made peace with both sides.
For the sake of his son, Xiang Nan agreed to return to China with him.
However, he doesn't care too much whether he can get back together with Zhang Xueer.
…
After returning to China, Zhong Ming, as a well-known expert in the field of astrophysics, easily found a job and worked at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of Jiangzhou University.
After Xiang Nan returned to Jiangzhou, he bought a house again.
After settling down, Zhong Ming arranged for him to meet with Zhang Xueer.
Xiang Nan was a little afraid to recognize Zhang Xueer again after not seeing her for thirty years.
When he left, Zhang Xueer was only twenty-eight years old, which was the most beautiful moment in a woman's life.
It not only retains the aftertaste of a girl, but also has a hint of sexiness of a mature woman.
But now, she is a real old lady.
His hair was all gray, the corners of his eyes were droopy, and he looked old to the naked eye.
"I haven't seen you for thirty years. I didn't expect that you haven't changed much?" Zhang Xueer looked at Xiang Nan and said in surprise.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Over the years, he has been adhering to a healthy diet, often eating vegetables, fruits, and seafood, and rarely eating carbohydrates and red meat. And I insist on exercising every day, running, climbing, swimming, and cycling.
In addition, he is a doctor. He had a headache and fever, so he took care of it first, so he took good care of his body.
Although he is sixty years old, he is still in excellent physical condition. It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary middle-aged people in their forties may not have a physique like his.
Moreover, he has also studied fashion design and cosmetology, and is very sophisticated in dressing and makeup, so he looks very energetic. If you don't know the truth, there is no problem at all in saying that he is in his thirties.
"You are getting old. Over the years, you have been worrying about those little devils." Xiang Nan nodded.
Zhang Xueer sighed.
"For so many years, I have always felt that I made the right choice. But after I retired last year, I really felt that I made the wrong choice."
Last year, 57-year-old Zhang Xueer officially retired.
After retirement, she no longer had a job and no children around her. When she was left alone, she felt deathly lonely.
Xiang Nan is right. No matter how well she teaches those children, people will only call him "Teacher Zhang" and not "Mom". No matter how lonely she was, the students she taught would never come to see her.
Unlike her son, even if she has ignored him for more than ten years, he will still appear when she needs him. This is the heart-to-heart connection between mother and child, blood is thicker than water.
Unfortunately, she understood this truth too late.
