Chapter 33: A Sad Past
After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen sighed and said, "It turns out that this is the case, the thief stole such a dangerous thing, didn't the construction site call the police?"
"Because the flaw detectors at the site were not used very often, few people noticed them when they were put in the warehouse, so it wasn't until the environmental protection department started to check the surrounding units that used iridium-192 radioactive sources that the site discovered that it was stolen.

Ye Zhenzhen: "The department for the use of these radioactive sources is too lax, how can such an important thing be stolen by thieves? And it took so long to find out, if it wasn't found in time, I don't know how many people would be harmed." ”
Nan Zhiqiao: "Although the state has formulated relevant laws and regulations, it still needs the cooperation of various units to achieve nuclear safety. ”
"Yes, there is still a long way to go to achieve nuclear safety. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, the owner of the dumpling shop brought two large plates of dumplings, two small plates, two pairs of chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Girl, bring your boyfriend to eat dumplings, today, I will send you two braised eggs, free." ”
"Thank you, boss," Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Nan Zhiqiao opposite again, and explained with a smile: "He is my colleague." ”
The boss looked at Nan Zhiqiao with a smile, "Colleague, oh, bring a colleague to cheer up, then you eat slowly, call me if you have something." ”
The boss was busy with other customers, and in the small shop, the number of customers gradually increased, and the atmosphere became lively.
Ye Zhenzhen put vinegar and hot sauce in the plate in front of her, sandwiched a dumpling from the plate, dipped it in the seasoning, and put it in her mouth, "Hmm...... , or the dumplings here are authentic. ”
Looking at Ye Zhenzhen's intoxicated look, Nan Zhiqiao smiled and asked, "You often come here?"
"Hmm. Ye Zhenzhen nodded while eating, "The boss here is from Shandong, my fellow countryman, and the dumplings are authentic Shandong." ”
Nan no Qiao also ate one.
"How's it going to be delicious?" asked Ye Zhenzhen with a smile.
"Well, it's okay. Nan Zhiqiao commented.
"You eat dumplings, why don't you dip them in seasoning?"
"The dumplings here have a strong flavor and don't need to be dipped in seasonings. ”
"I think it's okay, why do you taste like a southerner?"
"I lived in the South for a while as a child. ”
"Me too. Ye Zhenzhen felt that she had something in common with Nan Dashen, so she asked, "Are you from the south?"
"My grandfather and father are authentic southerners, my mother is northerner, and my parents have been living in Beijing since they got married, so I can be regarded as a northerner, but when I was a child, I lived in my grandfather's house for a few years, and my taste for food was developed at that time. ”
"I'm just the opposite of you, my father is from Shandong, my mother is from the south, I lived in my grandmother's house in the south for a while when I was a child, so I eat both north and south, hehe......" Ye Zhenzhen smiled to herself.
"It's all about the north and the south? There are really few girls who describe themselves like that. ”
More than a dozen dumplings were eaten, and Ye Zhenzhen's gaze gradually shifted from the dumpling plate to Nan Zhiqiao.
Nan Zhiqiao sat upright, chewing slowly with each bite.
Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, how can the person in front of her, how can he eat a dumpling and eat the feeling of Western food.
Her eyes wandered, and finally landed on Nan Zhiqiao's neck, and Ye Zhenzhen's mind shifted from eating to Nan Zhiqiao's heart-shaped lady diamond ring.
Nan Zhiqiao raised his head, his gaze fell on Ye Zhenzhen's face, and said, "Ye Zhenzhen, what are you looking at?"
Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses, hurriedly looked away, and asked at the same time, "That ring belongs to your mother, right?"
Nan Zhiqiao didn't expect Ye Zhenzhen to ask this question, and was obviously stunned for a while.
Seeing that Nan Zhiqiao was silent, Ye Zhenzhen thought that Nan Zhiqiao didn't want to answer, so she hurriedly added: "I'm just asking casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it......"
"It was my mom who left it for me. ”
Nan Zhiqiao replied calmly, Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, it seems that she guessed correctly, last time, Nan Zhiqiao was drunk and put the ring on his hand, and he heard Nan Zhiqiao call his mother at that time, and he really saw things and thought about people, but he didn't know why his mother was not by his side? Could it be ......
"Your mother?......" Ye Zhenzhen asked boldly.
"He died many years ago. Although Nan Zhiqiao's tone of voice was still calm, the sadness that flashed in his eyes was still seen by Ye Zhenzhen.
"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness. Ye Zhenzhen blamed herself for being too curious, which reminded Nan Zhiqiao of the sad past.
"It's okay, that was a long time ago. ”
Nan Zhiqiao put down the chopsticks in his hand, quietly looked at the woman sitting opposite, and all kinds of pictures after meeting her came to mind, Ye Zhenzhen's appearance was a little similar to her mother when she was young, so she would treat her differently.
Nan Zhiqiao suddenly asked, "Do you want to know about my mother?"
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Well, as long as you are willing to speak, I want to know." ”
Nan Zhiqiao's eyes seemed to go back to many years ago, and his calm and magnetic voice said slowly: "My mother is a doctor, to be precise, a doctor specializing in prevention, after graduating from university, she entered the Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to work, at that time, there was an outbreak in the south, my mother was on the front line of the anti-epidemic, during which my mother met my father, and then later, my mother felt that she wanted to improve her business level, so she chose to continue her studies, and then studied for a doctorate, and after graduating from the doctorate, she entered the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine to work." ”
"Isn't the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine the predecessor of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention?"
"Well, exactly. Nan Zhiqiao nodded and continued: "After my mother graduated from the doctorate and worked, she got married, and after that, with me, my father changed his work location to Beijing for the sake of my mother, and now I think about it, it was my happiest years. ”
"After that?" asked Ye Zhenzhen.
"It wasn't until I was 14 years old that my mother went abroad on business and was sent to South Africa for a rescue mission, and she never came back. Nan Zhiqiao looked at Ye Zhenzhen's face with a sad face.
"What's going on?" asked Vera Ye cautiously.
"That rescue operation was to help a country in South Africa fight a sudden epidemic, where my mother contracted a disease, due to poor local medical conditions, she did not receive timely treatment, and died there, her body was cremated on the spot, and finally sent back to China, only this ring. ”
After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen was in a sad mood, and silently looked at the man opposite, no wonder Nan Zhiqiao cherished that women's diamond ring so much, it turned out to be a relic left by her mother.
Ye Zhenzhen was silent for two seconds, and finally sandwiched a dumpling, put it on the plate in front of Nan Zhiqiao, and persuaded: "Turn sadness into food, you are so good now, your mother will be very comforted in the spirit of heaven." ”
Suddenly, Nan Zhiqiao changed his sad expression and said: "Ye Zhenzhen, I told you this story to tell you, it is very dangerous to enter the disease control work, and there is a possibility of death at any time, you should think about whether to go to work at the CDC in China." ”
Ye Zhenzhen's sadness just now suddenly came to naught, and she took back the dumplings that had just been put on the plate in front of Nan Zhiqiao, and said angrily: "Don't think about it, Nan Zhiqiao's colleague, see you tomorrow!"
