The lively Spring Festival Gala program is not as hot as the chatting of Zhenzhen's family.

Zhen Zhen told her parents the news of the certificate and discussed the marriage.

Zhen Zhen's parents happily wanted to find someone to measure the eight characters to calculate the marriage date, or Zhen Zhen woke up her parents, "What age is it now, how can you still measure the eight characters?" This wedding period is to invite relatives and friends to have a meal, I discussed with Zhi Qiao, because there are many relatives and friends in the two families, and they are far away, so they plan to hold a wedding on both sides. ”

Zhen Zhen's father: "This is okay, there are too many relatives in our family, and it is too troublesome to go to Beijing." ”

Zhen Zhen: "Zhiqiao's hometown is in Nantong, and my grandfather wants our wedding to be held in Nantong's hometown, and in Beijing it is just a dinner for colleagues and friends. ”

Zhen Zhen's father: "This listens to Grandpa Nan." ”

Nan Zhiqiao: "My grandfather was going to come over to personally propose marriage and get the marriage date, but I was too anxious and pulled Zhen Zhen to get the marriage certificate first, so the step of proposing marriage was saved, and I still want to ask your second elder for advice first." ”

Zhen Zhen's father: "Grandpa Nan is polite, let grandpa decide the wedding in Nantong, let you two make up your mind about the affairs of Beijing, as for our side, when you have time, we can all cooperate." ”

Zhen Zhen's mother: "Is your wedding time in Nantong set?"

Zhen Zhen: "It is tentatively scheduled for June, and at that time, as long as there is no sudden disease control mission, there will be time to hold a wedding. ”

Zhen Zhen's father: "By the way, you are busy with work, and it is not easy to take some time, otherwise, we will marry in May, marry first, marry first and then marry, and have a May Day holiday in May, how about it?"

Zhen Zhen looked at Nan Zhi Qiao and asked Nan Zhi Qiao's opinion with her eyes.

Nan Zhiqiao: "As long as my parents can do it, I have no problem with Zhen Zhen." ”

Zhen Zhen's father laughed and said, "Okay, then it's settled." ”

Nan Zhiqiao spent the first Spring Festival in Zhen Zhen's hometown, in addition to appreciating the strong local customs, and then went to Zhen Zhen's rural cousin's ecological farm, where there are patches of strawberry greenhouses, and a hot spring villa formed by underground hot spring water.

In the ice and snow, the red strawberries in the strawberry greenhouse are bright, and the first and second days of the new year are celebrated, and the third day of the new year, Zhen Zhen's family went to the ecological farm more than an hour's drive from the city.

In addition to the famous ecological farm, there are also distant relatives of the Zhen Zhen family, cousins, cousins, cousins, and many of Zhen Zhen's peers.

After picking strawberries, I went to Aishan Hot Springs near the ecological farm.

Zhen Zhen introduced the legend of the origin of this Aishan Hot Spring to Nan Zhiqiao.

A long, long time ago, there was a mountain island near Aishan, surrounded by the ocean, and there was a small couple living here, the man was called Da Chung and the woman was called Xiao Quan, and they made a living from fishing. One day, the Dragon King of the East China Sea went out of the palace to parade, saw the beautiful Xiaoquan, suddenly had a bad intention, ordered the shrimp soldiers and crabs to rob Xiaoquan back to the Dragon Palace, Xiaoquan did not obey until death, and was locked in a reef cave by the Dragon King.

Koizumi was so worried about her husband that she washed her face with tears all day long.

Because he missed Xiaoquan, Dachong sat on the big bluestone in front of the house all day, looking at the boundless sea in a daze, and when he was tired, he slept on the big bluestone.

One day, Da Chung dreamed that his wife, Koizumi, was under the big bluestone. After waking up, Da Chung dug and dug around the big bluestone, and finally dug a hole, and a hot spring gushed out, never exhausted......

Zhen Zhen soaked in the outdoor hot spring pool, only showing her head on the surface of the water, looking up at the dense water vapor and the snow, and said quietly: "Zhiqiao, is this story a little sad? The spring water we soaked in is the tears of Xiaoquan." ”

Nan Zhiqiao was wearing swimming trunks, bare shoulders, sitting in the hot spring water, hugging Zhen Zhen on the side, and said with a smile: "I'm not Da Chong, and you are not Xiao Quan, if the Dragon King of the East China Sea dares to fight your idea, I will draw his dragon tendons." ”

Vera giggled.

Nan Zhiqiao resumed his serious tone, "On the way here, I found that there are a lot of gray volcanic rocks near this Aishan Hot Spring, indicating that there were volcanic eruptions here a long time ago, and now these underground hot springs should be hot springs on the volcanic site. ”

Zhen Zhen: "Yes, Aishan is an extinct volcano. Throughout the ages, many literati have left a lot of poems praising this place, and the midwinter of the sea is also abnormal, and Xiaochi is like soup. Dissolve a vein of the present and the ancient, not for the world to wash cold soup. ”

Nan Zhiqiao: "I remember the Qing Dynasty poet Hao Jin, there is a poem about Ai Mountain, climbing steeply to the sky, and the monk is more secluded. The peaks are surrounded by green walls, and the meandering water is rippling with pearls. The birds rhyme and the bells are together, and the scenery and trees are floating. Looking at the pure products, it seems to swim to the mirror platform. ”

Zhen Zhen: "Wow, Senior Nan, you know quite a lot. I'm a local, so it's not unusual to know that, you, a foreigner, know so well the origin of Aishan, did you do your homework before you came?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "No, it's just the introduction I saw on the way just now, this is a four-star tourist resort, and there are many brands that introduce the scenery and history." “

"That's it, I forgot, Senior Nan, you have the ability to never forget......"

After returning to Beijing from Zhen Zhen's hometown, most of the Spring Festival holiday has passed.

After a few days of rest in the apartment of Dragon Peak, on the first day of work after the holiday, Nan Zhiqiao received a call from Professor Bavar.

Professor Bavar elaborated on the cloning of monkeys, and asked Nan Zhiqiao to come over and look at the results of the experiment.

Nan Zhiqiao still has a lot of things to deal with in the CDC central laboratory, and more importantly, he still has a slight resistance to cloning technology in his heart, so he replied to Professor Bavar, "I won't go over in person, you can just send me the experimental materials." ”

Professor Bavar complied, while Nan Zhiqiao remained in the CDC lab.

——

Winter turns to spring, and the wild peach blossoms on Tuan Mountain in the central compound bloom and fall, and in a blink of an eye, it is already late April.

In the spring of this year, it was exceptionally calm, there was no major outbreak of the epidemic, and the Nanzhiqiao experimental group had fewer sudden disease control tasks, and most of the time was spent on scientific research.

On a weekend morning in late April, Zhen Zhen was reading a book in her apartment study at Dragon Resort, when she suddenly received a strange phone call.

"Hey, Sister Zhenzhen. The boy's stiff Mandarin was filled with joy.

"Alex, I didn't send you an email, why did you call me?"

"Sister Zhenzhen, you haven't emailed me for four months and twenty days, don't you want me?"

"No, I'm busy. Zhen Zhen deliberately put the word "busy" to accentuate the tone.

"What are you busy with? Recently, there has been peace in the world, there are no natural disasters, there are no natural disasters, and even fewer people are sick. Young Alex was serious.

"You know a lot, but my work is more than that, but you, take the initiative to call me, not just because you miss me, say, what's the matter?"

"I'm in China now. Young Alex paused slightly, "Sister Zhenzhen, guess where am I in China?"

"It won't be in Beijing, will it?" asked Zhen casually.

"Isn't there a master by your side, let him find out my specific location. ”

Teenager Alex took the initiative to hang up.
