Chapter 11 "Warm" 11

The company has a factory in Suzhou, and I came to Suzhou with several engineers this time. Presumably doing some technology transfer work. We got off the plane in Shanghai, and a car came from Suzhou to take us to Suzhou. The factory provided a dormitory, and we will live here from now on. Although we engineers from Taiwan are nicknamed "Taigan", they always call us "teachers". I know that in the language of the mainland, calling someone a teacher is a kind of respect. But after all, I have never been called a teacher in my life, so I always feel uncomfortable. After simply unloading the luggage and soothing my limbs, I immediately picked up the phone.

I am already in Suzhou, this reason is enough for me to call Nuan Nuan. "Excuse me, do you know Qin Nuannuan, the most beautiful woman in Beijing?" As soon as the phone was connected, I said. "Yeah?" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be startled, "I am. Who are you?" I recognized that it was a warm voice. "You have such a beautiful voice, and you are the most beautiful woman in Beijing. Is there any law for this?" "I say. "Cool and cool?" Nuan Nuan's voice hesitated. "Please call me Teacher Liangliang. "I say.

"Cool cool!" Nuan Nuan was very excited, "It's really you!" I was also very happy. I never thought that I would get so much happiness just by simply dialing a few keys. Nuan Nuan said that she had received my E-mail last night, and originally wanted to call me, but I did not expect to call first. I told Nuan Nuan the purpose of coming to Suzhou and the time of stay, Nuan Nuan said that Suzhou is beautiful, don't forget to visit. "Have you been to Suzhou? "I asked. "I heard it from someone." "I heard it again. "My ears are good." Nuan Nuan smiled.

We have been separated for more than a year, and we all have a lot to say, but we can't sort out the order for a while. I can only talk about how long the plane took, what was in the plane meal, the stewardess is probably married and has several children, and the oldest child is already in high school. We seemed to just enjoy the pure joy of hearing each other's voices, enjoying that purity, and then feeling that it was something to celebrate that we were both alive. I don't know why, while talking to Nuan Nuan, the image of the Echo Wall in the Temple of Heaven appeared in my mind.

Probably because we are all talking to the mobile phone and hearing the answer from the mobile phone now, which is very similar to talking to the wall and hearing the answer from the wall at that time. I also think of the courage to tell Nuan Nuan softly the voice running through my heart at that time - I like you. Although I know Nuan Nuan must not have heard. "Warm. ’ I raised my voice. "Huh?" "Nuan Nuan." ’ I lowered my tone. "Say it." "This is Nuan Nuan with a high-pitched voice and Nuan Nuan with a low voice. ’ ‘What are you talking about.’ ‘Hey, Nuan Nuan. ’ ‘What the hell are you trying to say? ""Beiqi." Nuannuan said.

Nuan Nuan doesn't know, as long as she can simply call Nuan Nuan, it is a happy thing. The phone call lasted more than half an hour before it ended. When I hung up the phone, I felt a little sour at the corners of my mouth. Probably when listening to Nuan Nuan speak, I unknowingly maintained the upturned expression of the corners of my mouth. I opened the suitcase, organized simple daily necessities, and read some materials prepared by the factory. After all, I am not here to play, I have to do what I have to do well. The nature of work in Suzhou is very simple, even easier than working in Taiwan.

Apart from the slight annoyance caused by being in a different place and unfamiliar with the place of life, I adjusted well. The biggest problem is not knowing how to spend time after get off work. Colleagues occasionally go to KTV to sing together. Most of the KTV songs are Taiwanese pop songs, which I am familiar with. But I sing badly, and I am embarrassed to build my happiness on the pain of others. So after get off work, I often stay alone in the dormitory. During holidays, I will go for a walk in downtown Suzhou. I have heard people say that Suzhou is the city that most resembles Taipei.

I am not familiar with Taipei, so I wonder if the cityscape of Suzhou looks like Taipei? I think it is probably because there are many Taiwanese people in Suzhou and they are very homesick, which makes them feel this way. But there is one similarity. There are as many motorcycles in Suzhou as in Taipei, and they are also willful. Although strictly speaking, most motorcycles in Suzhou are actually electric vehicles. I remember when I was in Beijing last year, there was not a single motorcycle on the street. After passing through the bustling commercial road, this song rang in my ears, but it was not Zhang Huimei who sang it.

"Listen... the sound of Hai crying..." It must be Zhang Huimei who cried. Overall, this is really a city that reminds people of Taiwan. It doesn't make me feel homesick. However, once I met a Fuzhou native in the factory, he spoke to me in Fujian dialect. Except for some differences in accent, it is basically Taiwanese, which shocked me a lot. In fact, I should be the one who made such a fuss, Taiwanese dialect is Hokkien dialect, and of course it is similar to Hokkien dialect. So whenever I talked about Hokkien with this Fuzhou colleague, I began to miss everything in Taiwan.

But most of the time, I still think of Nuan Nuan. When I first wanted to write an E-mail to Nuan Nuan, I saw that there were no phonetic symbols on the keyboard, and my heart sank. Chinese characters in Taiwan are usually typed by phonetic symbols, but simplified characters are based on Hanyu Pinyin. However, Taiwan has always used Tongyin Pinyin, and I don't understand Chinese Pinyin at all. I just typed the word Nuan Nuan (strictly speaking, one word), and I was already sweating profusely. I had no choice but to ask colleagues in Suzhou for help, and asked them to teach me how to spell word by word.

E-mail with 100 Chinese characters, they helped me with 88 characters. I wanted to simply write in English. Although my English level can barely express things, if I want to express my mood or even my feelings, the taste may not be right. For example, the sentence "The warm greeting warms the cool and cool heart" may lack some artistic conception when translated into English.Although this sentence has almost no artistic conception at all. So whenever I want to write an E-mail to Nuan Nuan, I always ask colleagues in Suzhou for their Chinese pinyin. Fortunately, I have asked more times, and I have gradually figured out some ways. I try pinyin by myself, and usually I can spell it out, but I just need to try a few more times. I also often want to call Nuan Nuan, but I still think I have to find a special reason to call. Nuan Nuan is working, maybe very busy, I don't want my whim to disturb her. Even though I know that no matter how busy Nuan Nuan is, she will never think that my phone calls will disturb her. But today I have enough special reasons to call Nuan Nuan. It suddenly occurred to me that my cell phone had a Taiwan number, and the phone bill for calling Nuan Nuan would be very expensive. If we only chat for half an hour like last time, I will go bankrupt once a day. I went to the street and bought a phone card, and directly called the public phone on the street, which saved a lot of phone bills. "happy Birthday! As soon as Nuan Nuan picked up the phone, I said immediately. "Cool and cool?" Nuan Nuan said, "Today is not my birthday." "Isn't it? "I say. "Of course not. How do you think it's my birthday?" "I don't know why.Just thought, if it was your birthday and no one said happy birthday to you, you would be very pitiful. "Cool cool." "Huh?" "Happy birthday." Nuan Nuan said. "How do you know my birthday is today?" "I'm surprised. "With your little eyes, I still can't figure it out?" Nuan Nuan smiled happily. I told Nuannuan, since it's my birthday, can I finish talking about the phone card? Nuan Nuan smiled and said yes. When the phone beeped harshly to remind you that there were only a few seconds left, Nuannuan said loudly, "Liangliang! Happy birthday!" Before I could answer, the call was automatically disconnected. It was the end of autumn at that time, and the streets of Suzhou in the middle of the night were a bit chilly. A warm sentence of happy birthday makes me feel warm from the bottom of my heart. "Warm and warm greetings warm a cool and cool heart", if there is any artistic conception, it is here. I put away the used phone card as a birthday present from Nuan Nuan. In the blink of an eye, I have been in Suzhou for almost three months, and I will be leaving in about two weeks. Nuannuan’s e-mails always mention that “Jiangnan gardens are the best in the world, and Suzhou gardens are the best in the south of the Yangtze River”, urging me to go and see them. If I don’t, I will regret it. If I regret it, I still have to go. Looking for a holiday, I went to the ancient city of Suzhou with a few other Taiwanese engineers. The city of Suzhou has a history of thousands of years. At the beginning of the city, water and land ran side by side, rivers and streets were adjacent, and it is still the same today. What is rare is that the ancient city is still located at the original site. In the ancient city, you can meet small ancients in five steps, appreciate big ancients in ten steps, and occasionally meet the former residences of famous people in history. This place is very different from the urban area of ​​Suzhou where I stayed, which is full of new buildings, and it also makes Suzhou a mixed bag of old and new. If walking in the ancient city of Suzhou reminds you of Taipei, then you should write science fiction. The Humble Administrator's Garden is located in the northeast of the ancient city and is the most famous of the four gardens in Suzhou. The garden is dominated by water, with willows swaying in the wind by the pool, undulating corridors, and pavilions built near the water; the stone bridge is like a gorgeous rainbow across the earth after the rain has passed and the sky clears. The scenery of the whole garden is natural, maintaining the vigorous and simple style of gardens in the Ming Dynasty, with a strong scenery of Jiangnan water village. From the moment I stepped into the ancient city, the street view and garden view gave me a feeling of déjà vu. Later, I suddenly realized, isn’t it the Suzhou Street in the Summer Palace? Suzhou Street was originally built to imitate the streetscape of Suzhou. Even though the scale and landscape are not as good as Suzhou Gardens, it still has some charm of Suzhou Gardens. I think of the scene of He Nuannuan walking along Suzhou Street; I also think of He Nuannuan sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, overlooking the small bridge and Qushui, while the water of Suzhou Creek is flowing slowly; finally, I think of the old man who counted words on Suzhou Street. When I was in Taiwan, I usually let photos or residual images in my mind remind me of Nuan Nuan; but in front of me was a specific scene, not flat but three-dimensional, and I could even feel Nuan Nuan beside me. I found that the warm heart of longing is far hotter than I imagined. I came up with the idea of ​​going to Beijing to find Nuan Nuan. But the air ticket back to Taiwan has already been booked, and there are still many jobs waiting for me after I go back. Wouldn't it be too self-willed to go north to Beijing instead of going south from Suzhou to Taiwan? And if Nuan Nuan is so busy these days, wouldn't it make things difficult for her? I thought about it over and over again, and couldn't make up my mind. Finally, it was the eve of leaving Suzhou. In order to thank us Taiwan engineers for their hard work, the factory specially sent a car to take us to Hangzhou West Lake for a tour, and then boarded the plane the next day. When I saw West Lake for the first time, I was amazed and deeply attracted by her beauty. However, it didn't take long before I thought of Weiming Lake in Peking University, Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, and even Shichahai. I clearly know that the beauty of these lakes is completely different from that of the West Lake, but I still unconsciously think of the scenes with Nuannuan at Weiming Lake, Kunming Lake, and Shichahai. On the rickshaw, ready to go around the West Lake. The driver had only stepped on a few laps, and I remembered the past when I and Nuannuan rode a tricycle to the alleys. Even if the Ten Scenes of West Lake are so charming, they still can't distract me. To be correct, I have been distracted by Nuan Nuan, unable to calm down and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It can be said that you can't see the beautiful scenery in front of you, but the warmth is always in your heart. Even the Taiwanese engineer sitting next to me, I almost regarded him as Nuan Nuan. After returning to the dormitory from West Lake, I packed up all my luggage, and after going to bed, I actually suffered from insomnia. Even in Taiwan, I missed Nuan Nuan very much, but I never lost sleep because of it; I didn’t expect that when I left Beijing for almost a year and a half, I would suffer from insomnia because of Nuan Nuan in Suzhou. Missing is alive because it grows; memory is lifeless because it never grows old. Just like my longing for Nuan Nuan increases day by day; and the memory of being with Nuan Nuan, no matter how long the days have passed, is still as vivid as yesterday. I'm going to Beijing to find Nuan Nuan.
