Chapter 10: Hometown Spring Festival

After Nan Zhiqiao finished talking about Liang Chen, he said to Zhen Zhen again, "Don't send that 'dear Alex' email again." ”

Liang Chen laughed, "Nan Zhiqiao, are you jealous? Alex is only a half-grown child, you eat his jealousy, right?" ”

Nan Zhiqiao ignored Liang Chen and said to Zhen Zhen, "It's almost the New Year, go to your house for the New Year this year, and discuss the marriage with my father-in-law and mother-in-law by the way." ”

"Celebrating the New Year at my house?" asked Vera uncertainly.

"Well, what's the problem?"

"No problem, but what about grandpa? Leave him here alone, okay?"

"Grandpa will not stay in Beijing, he will go back to the old house in Nantong with Steward Li, there are clan relatives and friends of the Nan family there, grandpa will not be lonely, besides, if I know that I went to my father-in-law's house to discuss the marriage date, grandpa must be happier. ”

"Listen to your tone, you used to be away from home for the New Year?"

"Well, there are very few Chinese New Year's holidays at home, since I went to study abroad, I basically spent the Spring Festival in the laboratory every year, and after returning to China, I entered the disease control work, and I often received disease control tasks during the New Year's holidays, and I went to the earthquake-stricken area during the Spring Festival last year. ”

Speaking of last year's Spring Festival, Zhen Zhen still remembers vividly, there was an earthquake in Nanfang City, Nan Zhiqiao was sent to the earthquake-stricken area to support the post-earthquake epidemic prevention work, Zhen Zhen also took the initiative to apply to go to the disaster area, the two were in the earthquake-stricken area, and almost died in the Great Rift Valley formed by the earthquake.

Zhen Zhen clasped her hands together and made a prayer, "I hope to have a safe Spring Festival this year." ”

Nan Zhiqiao patted Zhen Zhen's head dotingly, "Yes, with your prayers, everything will go well." ”

Nan Zhiqiao and Zhen Zhen were talking to themselves, and Liang Chen on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "I've started to sprinkle dog food again, for fear that others won't know that you have obtained the certificate?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "If you can't stand the stimulation, you can leave." ”

Liang Chen made a deliberately angry gesture and hugged Kexin, "Go, ignore this guy who unloads the mill and kills the donkey." ”

You Kexin patted Liang Chen's hand on his shoulder, "I'm not a donkey, you donkey didn't do anything for the boss, where does Alex live? ”

Liang Chen was very aggrieved, "That kid is floating on the high seas every day, how can I check? I don't believe it, he can never come up on land for the rest of his life? As long as he comes up, I will have a chance to catch him and see where he is sacred, but forget it today, let's go back first, you see the two of them, the dog food is endless, let's go on a date." ”

Liang Chen pulled Ke Xin and was about to leave, but Ke Xin stood still, staring at Nan Zhiqiao, and stopped talking.

Seeing the strangeness of Kexin, Nan Zhiqiao took the initiative to ask, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Ke Xin nodded hurriedly, "Well, there is one thing, but boss, I said it, don't be angry." ”

But when Xin said it so much, everyone was curious.

Nan Zhiqiao: "You say. ”

You Kexin: "Here's the thing, a few days ago, Professor Bavar sent me some information about cloning monkeys. Professor Bawar successfully cloned two cynomolgus monkeys in the experimental animal center of Tinder 1 base, and the technology of cloning monkeys has been perfected. Professor Bavar wanted to clone a batch of cynomolgus monkeys with the same genetic background to test the new vaccine. ”

After You Kexin finished speaking, everyone stared at Nan Zhiqiao's reaction.

Nan Zhiqiao's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

Liang Chen broke the silence, "Kexin, you know that the cloned man is the knot in Zhiqiao's heart, why do you still mention this matter, Bavar is using you as a gunman, he wants to do an experiment of cloning monkeys, so let him tell Zhi Qiao himself, let you say, what is it?"

You Kexin whispered: "Cynomolgus monkeys are non-human primates, cloning cynomolgus monkeys is different from cloning humans, besides, cloning cynomolgus monkeys really plays a very important role in testing new drugs." ”

Liang Chen was a little angry, "Kexin, why are you still speaking for Bavar?! He was originally a researcher at the Nanmu Group Stem Cell Research Center, and he was also involved in the cloning incident that year. ”

"I'm just talking about things, this time it's different from before, the cloned cynomolgus monkey can become the most effective animal model to simulate humans, and from this point of view, the cloning of cynomolgus monkeys is of great significance." ”

Liang Chen was about to have a seizure, but Nan Zhiqiao suddenly said: "Kexin is right, the emergence of cloned monkeys is a major breakthrough in the field of life sciences in the world, and if it is guided well, it is of great significance." Kexin, you tell Professor Bavar and ask him to send me the specific plan. ”

"Good. Kexin smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, it seems that the result is the same as he expected, his own god boss, in public and private affairs, is still very clear.

In the days before the Spring Festival, the atmosphere of the experimental group was obviously full of New Year's flavor.

Some students who are going home for the Chinese New Year should put the finishing touches on the experiments at hand.

More students are planning to stay here for the Chinese New Year, after all, the academic period during graduate school is still very intense.

Entering the lunar month, in January of the solar calendar, the annual Infectious Disease Response Tuanshan Forum was held as scheduled.

The agenda of the conference is three days, and the teachers and students of the center, except for those who are too busy to leave, will attend.

The students of Nan Zhiqiao's experimental group are very enthusiastic to participate in this kind of academic activity.

This year's Tuanshan Forum is roughly the same as previous years, and the purpose of the conference remains the same: to continuously learn and absorb advanced technology and disease control experience at home and abroad, so that the scientific and technological capabilities and technical means to deal with infectious disease emergencies can be adapted to the needs of the country.

The new graduate students in the experimental group participated in the Tuanshan Forum for the first time, and they felt curious and fresh, and when they listened to the expert reports, they were all riveted.

The three-day Tuanshan Forum ended, and within a few days, it was the Spring Festival holiday.

——

On the first day of the holiday, snow fell in Beijing, and Nan Zhiqiao and Zhen Zhen, who were going to drive back to their hometown, temporarily changed their minds.

Ditch self-driving and take an airplane instead.

Originally, according to Zhen Zhen's meaning, I still wanted to take the high-speed train back, but when I saw the report on the station on the TV screen, I found that China's Spring Festival transportation is indeed the world's largest population migration, and there are crowds of people everywhere, and it is impossible to buy tickets at this time.

The two took a plane back to Zhen Zhen's hometown, and when they got off the plane, they found that the snow in Zhen Zhen's hometown was heavier than that in Beijing.

By the time the two of them walked out of the airport, the snow was already covering the ground up to their ankles.

Zhen Zhen's hometown, Y City, is a famous "snow nest" in China, and every winter, the snow is more and thicker.

Fortunately, the airport is not too far from Zhen Zhen's house, and when the two of them arrived at Zhen Zhen's small courtyard, it was already afternoon, and they still had time to eat the reunion dumplings in the evening.

The atmosphere of the New Year is very strong, the steaming dumplings are served on the table, and the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone eats very happily.

The Hao family has the habit of keeping the New Year, and they have to observe 12 o'clock at midnight on Chinese New Year's Eve.

There is one more person who keeps the New Year this year, and the arrival of Nan Zhiqiao brings more joy to the whole family.

During the New Year's holiday, in addition to melon and fruit snacks, there is also the must-see Spring Festival Gala every year.
