Chapter 6 Always calm before the storm

Yes, just like the familiar name "Seinfeld", this is not Chen Xuan's first derailment.

The first time happened two years ago in March 2016, when Su Xia was promoted to deputy section chief because of his outstanding work, the right time and place, and the appreciation of the then leaders. You must know that in a state-owned enterprise like Su Xia's, if there is no strong background relationship and extremely outstanding work ability, it is not easy to be promoted. After Su Xia was promoted, according to the requirements for the training of personnel cadres, he needed to participate in a two-week full-time training for section-level cadres, which was a hard requirement. However, the training location is not in the imperial capital, but in a vocational and technical college in Nanjing.

Su Xia cherished this difficult promotion opportunity. If you can't be promoted to a deputy department before the age of 35 in government agencies and state-owned enterprises, your basic career will be hopeless.

"The red-headed document for my personnel appointment has come down, and I will be officially promoted to the deputy section from this month." At dinner, Su Xia and Chen Xuan talked about promotions.

"Congratulations! Section Chief Su. Do you have to treat our grandfather and son to a big dinner on the weekend and celebrate with the crown. Chen Xuan said jokingly. He has always been humorous and unserious.

"No problem, anyway, Boss Chen pays the bill, so I'll go to the 18th floor of the International Trade Center to see Chang'an Street." Su Xia happily agreed, a promotion and salary increase is really a pleasant thing. But the elation was fleeting, and in its place was the sorrow on Su Xia's face, "But I have to go to the training next week." Su Xia received a notice from the personnel department in the afternoon to participate in the 24th training course for section-level cadres next week.

"Go." Chen Xuan was still smiling, and continued to use chopsticks to hold the food and send it to his mouth, taking it for granted that it was ordinary job training.

"It's full-time training, two weeks, and it's in Nanjing."

When he said that he was in Nanjing, the chopsticks in Chen Xuan's hand froze in the air, "What, isn't it in the unit?" ”

"Well, no, this is a training course for section-level cadres, and it will be arranged in Nanjing."

"Ah, in this way, I can't delay my daughter-in-law's promotion and fortune, but what should I do with my son?!" Chen Xuan suddenly became melancholy. Without Su Xia, only him and the three-year-old Xibao are like the sky falling. Usually, when you say that you take Xibao independently, even if you go to a park or zoo on weekends, Chen Xuan is very frightened to take it alone, and he must take Su Xia with him. Since I was a child, I have never taken care of my son alone, and I am panicked and has a serious dependence.

"The key grandmother is not at home, and she won't be able to come back for a while." Mother-in-law Jin Yahui is outgoing, sociable, and loves to travel in the mountains and rivers, so in addition to helping Su Xia and them in her life after retirement, she basically participates in various tour groups with her girlfriends at other times. The current grandfather, Lin Weiguo, met during a group tour for the elderly in Yunnan, and got married after getting along for a year. Regarding this marriage, Su Xia raised his hands in favor. The mother-in-law has been divorced for many years and has been single, and even has fantasies about her ex-husband to renew her previous relationship. Later, my grandfather was born in a revolutionary, retired from a university professorship, died of cervical cancer two years ago, and had a profound cultural accomplishment. Second, the two of them have similar interests, and they travel together to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, which is also the best life in their later years. So they went out to play, and Susha was supportive. But as soon as he goes out for a few months, the child will inevitably have some small conditions, and he is also very anxious when he has nothing to rely on.

Su Xia's maiden home is in a small county town in Linprovince, although the distance is not very far, but her parents are reluctant to come to live in the city, and there is a grandmother who has been bedridden for many years and is in her eighties to take care of, so naturally she can't help Su Xia at any time.

Xibao has been taken care of by a confinement sister-in-law since she was born, and later found a sister-in-law, and then hired a good aunt Sister Wang to help until she was two and a half years old. After the age of three, Sister Wang returned to her hometown and didn't find a suitable aunt, so she was at the age when she could go to kindergarten, so Su Xia took it alone.

"Actually, he is three years old, you can take it, go to kindergarten during the day, you are also responsible for picking up and dropping off at night, many fathers in our unit take care of their children." Su Xia cheered Chen Xuan on.

"No, it's really not good, what should he do if he wants to cry and find you, what to do when he sleeps at night, how to get food...... I can't coax it, I can't get it, I can't get it......" Chen Xuan looked extremely troubled, as if a big mountain lay under his feet and couldn't be crossed.

"It's just that playing small makes you too idle and cares too little, hey." At this time, Su Xia regretted that he had taken on too many child-rearing tasks, and blindly wanted to reduce Chen Xuan's burden, but in the end, he would only be unable to bear it. A person bears what another person should bear, and once he needs another person to bear it, he can no longer bear it, and he is psychologically resistant, and now he is facing this dilemma.

"Say take it for a day or two, two weeks! Not at all! Chen Xuan didn't dare to think about it, he refused completely, he thought it was completely impossible.

"Then I can only send grandma's house or let grandma come, I'll call my mother and ask."

"Okay!" Chen Xuan was extremely in favor of this proposal.

After dinner, Su Xia called her mother Xia Qin and told her about the cause and effect.

"You send Xibao here, I haven't seen my eldest grandson for a long time." The mother naturally supports the progress of her daughter, and she is also willing to serve her grandson, in a short time.

"Okay, we'll send it over that weekend."

On the weekend, Su Xia packed up more than a dozen bags of things, eating, drinking, wearing and playing, the trunk was not enough, and the front seat was stuffed, and a car was full.

"Mom, are we going to Grandma's house?" Xibao asked in the car.

"Yes, because my mother is on a business trip, you have to stay at my grandfather's house for a few days."

"I don't want to go to my grandmother's house, I just want to be with my mother."

"Xibao is already old and very well-behaved, my mother is going on a business trip and going to run errands, and she will be back soon."

Xibao still didn't agree to be alone at Grandma's house, and Su Xia continued to induce: "Look, Grandma's house has a lot of sand, water, and a very big yard where you can run wildly, you can play as much as you want, how good!" Su Xia said, her already big eyes showing a super yearning look.

Hearing that he could play with soil and water, Xibao was instantly bought, shaken, and no longer said forcefully, "I only need my mother." ”

"You can play as much as you want, right?" Xibao asked suspiciously. These things can only be played at the amusement park in normal times, and they can't be played to the fullest every time.

"That's right, and grandpa can also take you to the supermarket to buy lollipops, and dad can also come over to play with you on weekends." Grandma's house is only an hour and a half away from Su Xia's house, and Chen Xuan can go over to stay for one night on weekends, so that he can not only accompany his son, but also make his son more adaptable, after all, he has not been away from home alone for so long since he was a child.

"Really?! Good! Xibao happily agreed.

Although Xibao agreed, after all, the living environment was slightly different, and Grandma was extremely careless, Su Xia was really relieved. Can you eat and sleep well, and will you get sick...... Wait, Su Xia is worried, the only estimation in this world that is so uneasy about her mother is Su Xia, who let this mother and daughter be at the two extremes of the world.

Before leaving, Su Xia repeatedly instructed him to take all the precautions he could think of: "Mom, you must wash his hands frequently, if he is sick, he will be in trouble." ”

"You must give him his own separate dishes and chopsticks, and you can't mix them with adults."

"Milk is good to drink once a day, and if you drink it before going to bed, you must rinse your mouth and brush your teeth, otherwise it will cause tooth decay."

"Don't always eat all kinds of meat, all kinds of meat-filled pasta, you must encourage more vegetables, and the nutrition should be balanced."

"By the way, he has a bad stomach, so he must not eat cold and hard overnight ......"

"I can deal with almost all the problems of the standing medicine I bring, in case I get sick give me a video and I will tell you which medicine to use, don't take medicine indiscriminately!"

……

"Got it! Got it! You're really chatty, I'll raise you and Xiaoyu so big, it's not good! Mother Xia Qin interrupted impatiently.

"Now it's different from the original, it used to be free-range, as long as you can live, now it's scientific feeding, and the growing environment is different."

"I think you're too busy! Just your son's gold! ”。

"Hey, it's always right to be careful, wouldn't it be more troublesome if you get sick! I can't come back. ”

"Okay, do as you say."

Although Su Xia knows that her mother will definitely not do exactly what she says, she knows more than anyone else, and Ms. Xia has bigger ideas than anyone else, so she won't pay attention to your set, but she also knows that grandma will never treat her wronged grandson badly, and she will take it with care, and Ms. Xia knows better that her daughter is not a master to be messed with.

Saying so much about Su Xia is also to seek his own peace of mind, after all, his son has never entrusted others since he was a child. It seems that after the explanation, you can be completely relieved, there will be no problem at all, and it is like completing a grand handover ceremony, since then the ownership has been cleared, Su Xia and Chen Xuan went home with peace of mind, and embarked on a two-week training trip to Nanjing in the afternoon of the same day.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Xia felt that this week was extremely long, and of course the next week would be even longer.

Today is Saturday, and in order to appease Xibao to stay smoothly when he was sent last week, Su Xia took a coaxing method, if he directly told him that he could not see his mother until two weeks later, he should not be happy to stay, so he just told him that his mother needed to go on a business trip and stay at his grandmother's house for a week. I need to give my son an explanation today.

"Hey, Mom, how is Xibao?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Ms. Xia Qin has always reported good news but not bad news. "I can eat and drink, but occasionally I am a little disobedient, Xi Baolai, talk to your mother."

"Hey, Mom, are you coming to pick me up today?" Xibao's voice was immature and full of anticipation to see her mother.

"Son, it's not good this week, my mother's work task hasn't been completed, do you think I'll pick you up next week?"

"No," Xibao choked up and was aggrieved, "No, I want my mother to pick it up today!" ”

"Son, my mother also misses you very much, so can you talk to your mother about grandma's house?" Susha began to shift his attention.

"It's fun, grandpa took me to the supermarket, bought me a lot of lollipops and bubble gum, took me to set off small cannons, and grandma also took me to find a brother to play."

"Look, how fun Grandma's house is, if your mother takes you back today, you will no longer be able to play with dirt and sugar, and you will not be able to have your brother to play with, what a pity."

"But I miss my mother."

"Do you see if this is good, grandma's house is so fun, you play at grandma's house for another week, and your mother promises to pick you up next weekend, and we will pull the hook." You'll be able to see your mom in seven days, and besides, why don't you go over and play with you today? ”

"Okay, then Mom, you promise to pick me up next week, and ask Dad to bring me my remote control car."

"Okay! No problem son, kiss and love you. ”

Put down the phone, stayed up late last night to write the final paper in advance, Su Xia, who got up early today, was full of energy and refreshed after hearing her son's immature voice, and hurriedly called Chen Xuan.

"What are you doing?"

", eng......" Chen Xuan also deliberately cooperated with the onomatopoeia of working hard to defecate, and teasing Su Xia was the daily routine of their lives.

"It's disgusting." Su Xia said with a feigned disgust. "When you went to your grandmother's house today, you brought a remote control car to your son, and your son asked for it by name."

"Where?" Ten fingers do not touch the spring water, Chen Xuan, who never does housework, of course will not know the location of the items at home.

"In the middle of the second level of the toy rack, take the new red SUV."

"Okay, I'll look for it later."

"You try to play with your son as much as possible, stay one night, and come home on Sunday night."

"Ah, got it." Chen Xuan was not confident enough and agreed absentmindedly.

After settling in, Su Xia sat back at the desk in the dormitory. The dormitory room is a standard room for two people, but because the female students are singular, she is the one who happens to be alone, so she enjoys the treatment of a single room.

Su Xia poured a glass of water, pulled her hair into a bun at the back of her head, put on black-rimmed glasses, activated her laptop, and began typing. She has to put out the final thesis in advance, and there is also a group debate, so that she can go home early next week.

Although Su Xia's heart was full of guilt and uneasiness, a phone call was much more relieved, and after this short period of peace of mind, it was the storm and waves of the family that were about to be ushered in.
