"You've been drinking?"

Gu Mochen glanced at her and didn't answer, bent down and tucked the quilt for Xiaobei: "You sleep first, and my brother will come back to accompany you in a while." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and motioned for her to come out with him.

"I drank tonight, I can't send you, Xiaobei is coaxed by me, you go back first." When he spoke, he turned his back to her, but even if he couldn't see his expression, he could hear a full of tiredness and irritability in his tone.

Tan Man looked at the back of the figure who walked towards the living room sofa, frowned, and quickly sorted out his emotions before he turned around.

She smiled: "Okay, then I'll go back first." ”

Tan Man pursed her lips, she is just an ordinary person, and she will inevitably hide resentment on her body, this time, she doesn't want to pay attention to it anymore.

Walking to the entrance, Tan Man suddenly thought of tomorrow's business trip, and turned to look at the person who was leaning on the sofa and closing his eyes to recuperate.

"By the way, I'm going to take three days off, there's something going on at school."

Gu Mochen reopened his eyes and turned his head to look at her, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Three days?"

She nodded: "Well, starting tomorrow and coming back on Friday." ”

He paused, as if he didn't understand, as if he was thinking, and then slowly said, "Okay." ”

At the moment of turning around, Tan Man still softened: "If you feel uncomfortable, make some honey water to drink." ”

"Got it." He took a deep breath, "Sorry, I can't send you, it's time to say something." ”

"It's okay."

After the door closed, Tan Man stood in place for a while before leaving.

Man is indeed a contradictory animal, obviously wanting to get closer, but stubbornly retreating.

At noon the next day, the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport, Tan Man just got off the plane, she trembled all over, she took the opportunity to pull up the scarf and wrap half of her face, and then followed the crowd to go out.

The two came to the designated hotel, checked in, and Tan Man went to his room first.

A colleague from Guangdong, a girl of her age, who was in the same room, was talking on the phone in Cantonese when she pushed the door open, and when she heard the sound, she turned back to her and smiled.

After Tan Man reported safety to her family and colleagues, before the other party's phone call was finished, she leaned back on the bedside and looked at the schedule that had just been distributed. Tonight is a meeting, the formal meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, and you can leave the morning after tomorrow, the schedule is quite relaxed, Tan Man was thinking that she could go back early the day after tomorrow, but she received a call from the male teacher who came with her.

The other party said that the day after tomorrow he wanted to buy some souvenirs, can we set the ticket for the afternoon together.

That teacher is an old-timer with 20 years of teaching experience, and she is naturally not good at saying anything as a newcomer.

After the formal meeting on the second day, Tan Man was shocked for the first time.

The current situation of special education in China has both a sad side and an exciting side.

In the field of education, special education is in a relatively weak position, and in some areas, it has even become a marginalized education field, with little interaction and communication between teachers and students in general education and special education, and in the real society, most people will unconsciously regard these children as alternatives.

Fortunately, the state has been paying more and more attention to the field of special education, and the education system for the disabled, from pre-school to higher education, has been continuously improved, and a set of systematic learning standards and other policies specially formulated for students with disabilities have made everyone see the dawn of hope.

Tan Man understands that only people who have been in close contact with these special children can feel that they are actually the same as normal children, yearning for the outside world.

During this one-day exchange and discussion meeting, teachers from all over the country shared their touching and helplessness, so that their group of special education people comforted and helped each other as if they were huddled together for warmth.

Back in the hotel room in the evening, she received a call from Jossen.

"Manman, Qiao Ning said you went to Beijing on a business trip?"

"Yes." Tan Man thought for a while and said, "Are you in a better mood?" ”

Qiao Sen seemed to chuckle on the other end of the phone: "It's okay, the hospital gave me a few days off and stayed at home." ”

"That's a good time to take a break."

"Vine, I'......" he stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

"When will you come back, I'll pick you up at the airport then."

"I'm on the plane tomorrow afternoon, don't bother, I won't be congested on the subway."

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway, so I should go out for a ride."

"We'll talk about that then." Tan Man thought about the past.

"That's it, you send me the flight number, and I'll pick you up then."

Hanging up the phone, Tan Man sighed, subconsciously clicked on the address book, slid to Gu Mochen's column, was stunned for a while, and then pressed the screen again.

A dreamless night.

In the past two days, Gu Mochen has been busy as usual, and this morning, he went to the district court to do business, and met Chen Rui, who happened to also come to the court.

"What a coincidence, I met you here!" Chen Rui saw Gu Mochen who was about to leave on the courthouse parking apron.

"Why are you here?" Gu Mochen stopped.

"I'll come here and get an investigative warrant." Chen Rui said, "It's almost time for dinner, how about having a meal together at noon and then going back?" ”

Gu Mochen looked at his watch and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the car." ”

"Okay, I'll be back soon!"

Twenty minutes later, two men appeared at a Chinese restaurant near the courthouse.

"I heard that you and Lao Xiao have been very busy recently, and the Hangzhou branch is really going to open?!" Chen Rui picked up the kung fu teacup and poured seven points full of quilts for both of them.

"Yes, I spent a week in Hangzhou last week, and it may open in the next year." Gu Mochen picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Is that your past, or is it Lao Xiao?"

"I told him that I couldn't leave, after all, Xiaobei is still young, maybe he will take care of the things on that end."

"Well, everything is okay with Xiaobei, right?"

"It's a lot better than before, and when I come back after the New Year, I have to think about going to elementary school."

Chen Rui couldn't help but tease: "Thanks to Xiaobei's blessing, you will raise children in the future, but you have a lot of experience." ”

Gu Mochen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"How are you and that little teacher?" Chen Rui smiled evilly, "After sending you a photo last time, have you taken any action?" ”

Gu Mochen paused: "What nonsense, I've already said it, she is Xiaobei's teacher." ”

"Well, I'm worried about it, but I said, whether it's her or not, you have to hurry up, or else. Next summer, when I invite you to my son's full moon wine, you are still alone! ”

When Gu Mochen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What's the matter, Zhao Lei has it?" ”

Chen Rui nodded proudly.

Gu Mochen smiled: "Congratulations, I have completed all the major events in my life quietly, how many weeks has the child been?" ”

"I just found out, and it's only been more than six weeks now." After speaking, Chen Rui's face sank slightly, "However, considering that during the marriage examination, Zhao Lei was found to be a thalassemia gene carrier, so she may have to go for a relevant examination after a while." ”

Gu Mochen thought for a while: "When I was studying before, I seemed to remember that as long as you didn't have it, there was basically no big problem with the child. ”

"Yes, that's what I told Zhao Lei, but she's worried, so let's go for a check-up, anyway, I'm pregnant, and I'm ready to go to the hospital twice in three days."

At this time, the waiter came up with the dishes, and the dishes were all served at one time, and the two of them started eating.

"Before you two got married, you knew she was a thalassemia carrier?"

"Yes, at that time, Zhao Lei was still pregnant for a while, as if she had some incurable disease." Chen Rui took a peanut and put it in his mouth, and said while eating.

"So what did you think at the time? After all, it is something that will have an impact on the next generation. Gu Mochen raised his eyes and asked.

"What can you think, I didn't think much about it, when I became an adult, I found that I carried the thalassemia gene, which was mild and had no impact on daily life, as for the child, I am a normal person, so it has a high chance that it is also healthy, besides, because she is a thalassemia gene carrier, I broke up with her, which is too irresponsible." Chen Rui smiled lightly, "When I chased Zhao Lei, I didn't care about anything else at all, I was thinking about how to chase her down, and when I got the certificate, it was even more impossible to have other thoughts, and I saw that it was about to be done, and I couldn't give up the happiness I knew at the moment for the unknown difficulties in the future, it was too cost-effective." ”

Gu Mochen nodded and didn't say anything.

"When Zhao Lei's body is stable, call Lao Xiao and come to my house for a meal."

He chuckled, "Okay, as long as you can get him." ”

……

After the two had eaten and drunk enough, they didn't talk much, and rushed back to work.

In the afternoon, Gu Mochen's spirit was difficult to concentrate, and he looked at the computer screen several times, but his thoughts went elsewhere.

"You can't give up the happiness you know now for the sake of unknown difficulties in the future."

Thinking of Chen Rui's words, he put down the pen in his hand, slumped back in the chair, staring straight at the glass partition opposite.

He suddenly wondered if he was too sharp for Tan Man.

Looking back at the desktop and looking at the mobile phone on the table, he pulled out the phone in a ghostly way, and when he reacted, the other end had already spoken.

A mechanical female voice announces that the phone is turned off.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no reason for a sense of loss.

After staying in the office until the end of work, Gu Mochen rarely packed up his things on time and left the law firm, and drove to the kindergarten to pick up Xiaobei and go home.

The plane was delayed for nearly an hour and finally took off, and landed at Pudong Airport two hours later.

Tan Man said goodbye to his colleagues and walked over to Qiao Sen.

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

"It's fine." Jossen glanced at her face, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Tan Man didn't react at first, and after a pause, he touched the wound on his cheek: "It's okay, it's all scabbed." ”

Qiao Sen's eyes were still a little guilty, and Tan Man smiled: "Let's go." ”

He nodded and pulled the suitcase for her: "Let's go eat, what do you want to eat?" ”

Tan Man actually didn't plan to have dinner together, but the plane was a night, and it happened to be the meal at this time, so it was hard to excuse himself, so he said: "You decide, I'll treat you, thank you for coming to pick you up." ”

He didn't refuse, and the two walked to the parking lot.
