Cheng Xuedong set off to catch up with the weekend, and his daughter Xiaowei just came back from school last night, and soon after seeing her father, she learned that he was leaving immediately, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Wang Shuzhen looked very pleased: "Xiaowei came back just in time, help your mother send off your father." ”

Xiaowei usually has a prejudice against her father: "Dad, what's the matter with you?" Do you really regard this home as an inn where you can stay and leave if you want? ”

Cheng Xuedong knew his daughter's knot, so he hurriedly smiled: "Xiaowei, Dad has a special mission this time and must go on a business trip." Mom will trouble you to take care of it more. ”

Xiaowei snorted in her nostrils: "Don't you know?" I'm going to take the college entrance examination next semester, who will take care of me? ”

"This..." Cheng Xuedong was a little speechless, showing an apology. For him, the college entrance examination, which determines the fate of his daughter's life, is also a major event that he pays attention to. But...

Wang Shuzhen hurriedly relieved her husband: "Xiaowei, don't be willful, Dad is a member of the country, first of all, he must serve the country, and sometimes he has to sacrifice his small family." ”

Xiaowei was dissatisfied with her mother again: "Mom, I'm thinking about you, but why are you still talking to him?" Look at how sick you are, shouldn't he, as your husband, do his duty? ”

"Xiaowei, my mother's illness has gotten much better, and it will get better and better. I think Mom will be able to take care of you instead of Dad. ”

"You're going to take care of me? Please stop. If you don't drag me down in the college entrance examination, you will be considered Amitabha. ”

Wang Shuzhen's face was gloomy, and she bit her lip and couldn't speak.

Cheng Xuedong finally sank his face: "Xiaowei, you are so unreasonable, knowing that your mother is sick, you still speak against her?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm just telling the truth."

Cheng Xuedong put his eyes on his wife's abnormal expression and was silent.

Ding dong!

Just when the whole family was in a stalemate, someone came outside the door.

Cheng Xuedong took the opportunity to go down the steps to open the door.

Creak!

As the door slowly opened, Liu Yan's slender body and pretty expression appeared in Cheng Xuedong's field of vision.

Cheng Xuedong was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”

Liu Yanyan smiled: "I heard that you are leaving again, so I came to see you off." ”

"Oh, thank you so much. Come in! Cheng Xuedong hurriedly got out of the way.

Liu Yan walked into the living room and first ran to the gloomy Xiaowei: "What's wrong with Xiaowei?" Are you reluctant to let your father go? ”

Xiao Wei twisted her face to the other side angrily: "I have to take care of him." But if he wants to leave his mother at home alone, I'm just angry. ”

"So that's what it was? Do you believe that Sister Liu can take care of her mother? ”

Xiaowei and Cheng Xuedong were stunned at the same time: "You? ”

Liu Yan first glanced at Wang Shuzhen, and then said with a smile: "Yes, the wall of our unit's dormitory has cracked, which is not only cold, but also a dangerous building. The leader of the unit asked us, the single women whose families are in other places, to find a place to live by ourselves. I would like to take the opportunity to discuss with Mr. Cheng if I can stay at your house. ”

Cheng Xuedong perked up: "Really? That's just great. ”

Liu Yan's eyes lit up: "So, you agree that I moved over?" ”

"Certainly agreed, and very welcome. Sook-jin just has a companion. ”

Wang Shuzhen hesitated, and also made a statement: "Xiaoyan wants to come to live in my house, of course I have no opinion." In this way, Xuedong and Xiaowei have no worries. ”

Liu Yan saw that Xiaowei was angry and silent, so she asked tentatively: "Xiaowei, what about you?" Would you like to let your sister move in? ”

"Sister Liu, are you really willing to live in my house?"

"Of course I do, so that I can save a lot of rent and reduce the cost of food. Of course, I could have helped with more housework to pay off the debt. ”

Cheng Xuedongguan smiled: "You don't owe us anything if you come to live, it's just that we have caused you trouble." ”

"Hehe, each other, let's be mutually beneficial."

Wang Shuxian took the opportunity to say: "Don't be polite to each other. Xuedong, you can rest assured that you can set off this time, right? ”

Cheng Xuedong saw that time was really not enough, so he smiled at Liu Yan and signaled: "I'm sorry, I can't talk with you more, it's time for me to go." ”

Wang Shuzhen saw her husband leaning over and picking up the suitcase, so she motioned to her daughter: "Xiaowei, don't you send your father soon?" ”

Xiaowei has a very strong personality, and she is very reluctant that her father will be away from home all day, not only did she not mean to send it off, but turned around and walked into her room.

Wang Shuzhen showed a helpless wry smile: "This kid has made us spoiled." ”

Liu Yan took the opportunity to say: "Let me replace Teacher Wang and Xiaowei to send Teacher Cheng." ”

Wang Shuzhen nodded again and again: "This couldn't be better, Xiaoyan, you have to send Xuedong to the train all the time." ”

"Good drop, no problem."

Cheng Xuedong hurriedly said: "Don't bother Xiaoyan, just stay at home with you." ”

Wang Shuzhen shook her head slowly: "Xiaoyan's days at home are still long." You have to go out to take on such a big mission, it's a pity that I can't send you out in person, shouldn't I ask Xiaoyan to give you a ride instead of me? ”

Cheng Xuedong smiled helplessly: "Okay then." ”

Liu Yan took the initiative to pick up a small box in Cheng Xuedong's hand at this time: "Teacher Cheng, I'll help you carry your bag." ”

Cheng Xuedong didn't fight with her because the small box was not heavy, but glanced at his wife: "Shuzhen, I'm leaving." You have to take care of yourself. ”

Wang Shuzhen barely suppressed her tears: "Well, you must take care of yourself." I will wait for your good news. ”

Cheng Xuedong said emotionally: "Well, I am also waiting for the good news of your recovery. ”

Wang Shuzhen smiled with tears: "Xuedong, your ability to carry out your work smoothly is the best medicine for me." Because, in you, too, carry my dreams. ”

Cheng Xuedong's eyes couldn't help but moisten, nodded vigorously at his wife, and then walked towards the door-

Wang Shuzhen couldn't go downstairs to see her off, so she had to lean on the door frame and watch her husband's figure disappear into the depths of the corridor...

Her eyes blurred instantly, and there was no need to hide it anymore, allowing tears to flow out of her eyes—

She may have realized that this goodbye to her husband may be goodbye forever. How her heart longed for one more moment with her husband. However, she can't be so selfish, for the sake of her husband's ideals and to fulfill her own dreams, she should make due sacrifices.

"Xuedong... Shu Shuzhen can't accompany you... Be sure to take care of yourself... I'm even under the Nine Springs... I'll open my eyes to the good news from you..."

Her mouth muttered, and her sick body was no longer overwhelmed, and slowly slid down the doorframe—

Although Xiaowei hated her father in her heart, her father's departure made her heart empty, and she couldn't care about her anger anymore, so she quickly rushed out of her room and chased out of the house, even if she waved at her father's back.

However, what caught her eye was indeed her mother who was slumped at the door and was dying.

"Mom!"

When she was stunned for a moment, she rushed over like crazy and hugged her mother's upper body that she was about to fall into her arms.

"Mom... Mom... What's wrong with you... Don't scare me..."

Wang Shuzhen barely opened her eyes under her daughter's desperate call and shaking, and made a faint voice: "I... It's okay... Help me go back to the bedroom and lie down for a while..."

"Mom... Should you go to the hospital... Let me call Daddy back. ”

Wang Shuzhen's spirit suddenly perked up, and she quickly shook her head: "No, don't let him know." If you're going to inform your father, then I won't recognize you as a daughter. ”

Xiaowei was stunned, she really couldn't understand that her mother's attitude would be so strong. She had to temporarily dismiss the idea of calling her father back, desperately helped her mother up from the threshold, and moved to the bedroom step by step.

When Xiaowei helped her mother to the bed and lay down slowly, she couldn't help but push open the bedroom window, and in the slight cold wind, she just witnessed her father downstairs walking towards the door of the community with a suitcase-

"Daddy!" Xiaowei was uncontrollable, and finally screamed out in a lost voice.

Cheng Xuedong heard it vaguely, couldn't help but stop and look back, and finally saw his daughter's face in the window of his house.

Wang Shuzhen struggled to sit up, almost begging her daughter: "Xiaowei... Even if mom begs you once... Don't alarm him... He's under a lot of pressure... Did you know... He's working on a house that has been the dream of generations of our astronomers... His responsibility is heavier than Tarzan! ”

Mother's words suddenly made Xiaowei understand a lot, and she knew what it would mean if she recalled her father at this time.

Facing her father's expectant face, she had to wave her hand in tears...
