Chapter 1182 The Returnee's Notes 256
Then she touched the small mirror hanging by the bed and said, "Hey, it really is red. Doesn't it look like high-altitude rosacea?"
She laughed as she spoke, "I look even more like my mother now."
Lin Qiuyan remembered that Gao Xiaohan's mother seemed to be teaching in Tibet. She didn't know Gao Xiaohan's parents, but as a friend, she felt sorry for Gao Xiaohan.
Not to mention that she lived in a family where her parents could be with her every day, she couldn't imagine the absence of her parents during her growth, so she felt even more that Gao Xiaohan had suffered.
"Your parents are away from home all year round, leaving you with your grandparents... Although teaching in rural areas is admirable, didn't they ever think that you are still young and need your parents too?"
She wasn't that selfless, nor did she have such ambitions. If she had children, she would naturally prioritize her own.
Blown by the cold air, Gao Xiaohan was no longer so sleepy. Although she still occasionally missed her parents, she no longer felt the sadness she had when she was a child.
"They are definitely a little bit wrong, but no one is perfect and can't do everything perfectly."
Parents have an obligation to raise their children after they are born. In this respect, although I sometimes live frugally, I am not as miserable as you might think, because my grandparents love me very much, and my parents bring me lots of things every time they come home.
So they still love me.
But they love me, and they love their teaching career.
When parents have children, they often consider their children when making choices, and they tend to favor their children. Isn't this a kind of constraint?
Moreover, in most of these cases, the mothers make the greater sacrifices. To take care of their families, they have to give up their careers and many other things.
But my parents didn't, my mother didn't; she was still pursuing the education she loved, and her heart was as passionate as it had been in her youth.
In this respect, the two of them are in agreement.
Although most people might see their pursuit as meaningless, because at this time many are focused on profit, there are also wildflowers blooming on the distant mountains, needing a little rain and dew.
There are always things that need to be done, and there will always be someone who does them.
They just couldn't take care of their own children, which is why they said it was a little wrong, because she was that child.
She also had her unhappy moments and complaints.
Gao Xiaohan looked into Lin Qiuyan's eyes and smiled softly, "But actually I'm still very lucky. My grandparents raised me very well, my teachers are good to me, and I've met such wonderful people like you all. Now I also have my own pursuits."
Perhaps it's because they've grown up and are past the age where they need their parents' company.
Lin Qiuyan sniffed, her nose stinging. "Now I understand. A sensible child is heartbreaking, but a sensible child is also someone you can't see."
"But it's okay! We're here for you! Come to my house for dinner this weekend! I'll ask my mom to fry you a big chicken leg!"
"Okay! Can I have two?" Gao Xiaohan perked up instantly.
"Of course! I'll give you A-Ning's!"
"Why?"
"People who stay up too late shouldn't eat fried food, otherwise it's like adding poison to poison, that's what my mom says!"
Laughter reached the window, startling the crescent moon hanging from the treetops, causing it to fall. A thin mist spread, and frost flowers covered the withered grass, marking the arrival of another winter frost.
Xie Ning spent the entire month following up on the experiment, and when she asked for leave in December, the two professors looked at her as if they wanted to kill her.
Professor Zhong, in particular, asked Xie Ning if she was having any difficulties, saying she could offer assistance. Xie Ning is now her most capable assistant; without Xie Ning, she would encounter difficulties in everything.
Xie Ning couldn't tell the truth, so she told a lie about a family matter.
She didn't believe the lie that Professor Zhong couldn't live without her these days. She knew that Professor Zhong was going to an exchange conference abroad in December. He was supposed to take her with him, but Xie Ning was busy, so he replaced her with Fu Rong.
Professor Zhong felt it was a pity, but Xie Ning didn't think so. Although she hoped to learn more about advanced experiences from abroad, she wasn't that fixated on it.
But something else is more important.
