Chapter 25: A Special Birthday Feast

Nan Jie nodded: "Yes, my mother has been a diabetic for many years." ”

Liu Xiaoguang was quite surprised, and also interjected: "How did I not know that my wife had diabetes? There are a lot of sugary supplements I bought today. ”

Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but glance at the gift boxes stacked on the coffee table, and realized that those boxes of Shangjiang specialties were all high-sugar nutritional products, and he immediately felt blushing.

Liu Xiaoguang realized that there was something wrong with his words, and hurriedly added: "I see that the food brought by Lao Cheng from Shangjiang is not low in sugar." ”

In order to hide his embarrassment, Cheng Xuedong hurriedly asked Zhang Meina: "Since you have been sick for many years, why haven't I heard Teacher Nan mention it?" ”

"Well, he didn't even know I had diabetes."

Liu Xiaoguang felt incredulous: "How is this possible? ”

Nan Jie expressed strong dissatisfaction at this time: "My dad can't stay at home for a few days a year. His mind is full of his astronomical research, where is this home? My mother was worried that he would be distracted, so she never told him the truth, not even to tell us. ”

Nan Jie's words deeply stimulated Cheng Xuedong and reminded him of his wife, isn't he ashamed of his wife when he leaves home like this? Although today's teacher's wife is in much better condition than Shuzhen, she has the same disease, they all suffer from the same disease, and they all have a scientist who can't take care of their family.

"Master, I'll call Shuzhen's attending doctor immediately and ask him for help."

Zhang Meina saw that Cheng Xuedong was about to call her mobile phone on the spot, and quickly waved her hand to stop it: "Forget it, don't talk about illness today." ”

"This..." Cheng Xuedong was a little overwhelmed with his mobile phone.

Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Lao Cheng, hurry up and call Professor Nan and urge him to go home quickly." ”

Cheng Xuedong suddenly woke up: "Okay, I'll fight." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Meina waved her hand again and refused: "Don't call Lao Nan." ”

Cheng Xuedong was stunned: "Why?" ”

Zhang Meina's expression was very calm: "Since Lao Nan didn't come back in time, he must have been entangled in something important." Although he is in his early sixties, he still has great ambitions and aspirations, and I can't delay his business. ”

Cheng Xuedong's heart moved, but he didn't expect that the person who knew the teacher best was his wife, and he couldn't help but have ripples in his heart. Didn't his Sook-jin understand him too? At this time, his heart seemed to return to his wife who was far away in Shangjiang, and he suddenly pondered.

Liu Xiaoguang saw that Cheng Xuedong was silent, and hurriedly covered for Nan Binghuai: "Don't guess, Master, Teacher Nan won't have anything important." I just separated from him, don't you know if he's busy or not? He might be stuck in a traffic jam on the road right now. I personally called him to ask about the situation. ”

Zhang Meina saw that Liu Xiaoguang also took out her mobile phone, and her face sank suddenly: "Xiao Liu is not allowed to fight!" ”

"Mrs. This..."

"Don't you even listen to me?"

Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly smiled: "Of course I listened to my wife's words." ”

"Since you listen to me, don't disturb him."

"Okay." Liu Xiaoguang had no choice but to put the phone back in his pocket.

Nanyun couldn't hold his breath at this time: "Mom, when are we waiting?" You see your grandchildren are hungry. ”

Zhang Meina glanced at her grandson, who was more than ten years old, and was no longer waiting as honestly as before, but seemed restless.

"We won't wait, let's start dinner now."

Nan Jie frowned: "I obviously called to remind my father, what does it matter if he doesn't come back?" I called and asked him! ”

"Don't fight!" Zhang Meina let out a strange tone: "None of you should disturb his work. ”

Cheng Xuedong's thoughts finally returned to reality from his wife, and he immediately stood up: "Since the teacher can't come back in time to celebrate his wife's birthday, then the two of us as students will do it for us, I wish my wife a happy birthday!" ”

Zhang Meina showed a pleased smile: "Very good, I feel a lot more lively with the two of you on this birthday, let's sit down together." ”

Liu Xiaoguang looked very entangled, and couldn't help but cast a confused look at Cheng Xuedong.

Cheng Xuedong replied with a suggestive look: "Lao Liu, let's accompany my wife's family to have a birthday banquet." ”

Liu Xiaoguang had no choice but to force a smile: "Okay, I wish my wife a long life!" ”

Nan Jie was a little emotional, so she reached out and poked Liu Xiaoguang's armpit: "Hey, isn't it too early to say this?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang suddenly smiled: "It's a little early, wait for us to pick up the wine glass and say more wonderful blessings." ”

has already started the banquet, and while Cheng Xuedong is pushing the cup and changing the lamp with the Nan family, his heart is also full of doubts - what is the reason why Mr. Nan can't even take care of his wife's 60th birthday?

Due to Zhang Meina's strong opposition, he couldn't call Nan Binghuai, and he was very remorseful, if things would turn out like this, he should have called Teacher Nan before coming to Nan's house. How did this Liu Xiaoguang do it, why didn't he remind the teacher and come first? However, he was full of respect for Zhang Meina at this time, and read understanding, tolerance and dedication from this ordinary woman. Perhaps it is with the silent support of such a virtuous helper that Mr. Nan can devote himself to this great project without hesitation.

He thought of everything, but he didn't think that his wife was currently making unimaginable sacrifices for him to devote himself to this glorious and arduous project. At this moment, Wang Shuzhen is at the peak of complications, and her body is numb and trembling because of lack of sugar. At this time, her daughter Xiaowei has returned to school, and the only one who can accompany her and take care of her is Liu Yan, a woman who has also made great contributions to support Cheng Xuedong's work.

"Mr. Wang... Let's go to the hospital, shall we? Liu Yan couldn't bear to see Wang Shuzhen suffering painfully, and couldn't help but persuade with tears.

After Wang Shuzhen experienced a storm, her symptoms finally eased slightly, and she quickly shook her head: "No... Don't go... I'm going to hold it..."

"Mr. Wang... Look at you so sinned... My heart is uncomfortable... Let's go to the hospital... The doctor will find a way to make you feel better..."

"No... If Xiaowei knew that I was hospitalized... Can I still study in school with peace of mind? Can we hide it from Xuedong... But I can't hide it from her..."

"Well, when is it... You take care of this and that..."

"Xiao Yan... You're right... The meaning of my life is to make Xuedong and Xiaowei well..."

"Mr. Wang..."

At this moment, Liu Yanzhen had mixed feelings, and couldn't help leaning down and sticking her face to Wang Shuzhen's chest.

At this moment, Cheng Xuedong didn't know anything, and he was frequently raising his glass with Zhang Meina, with Liu Xiaoguang, and every member of the Nan family at the banquet...

However, there is still a big question mark in his heart - what is Mr. Nan still busy with at this time?

Besides, Nan Binghuai really forgot his wife's birthday. Originally, Liu Xiaoguang reminded him again this morning, and he was determined to put everything away and go home at noon to have a good meal with his family. But when he got dressed and was about to leave the studio, suddenly an important guest came outside. He is the head of a unit under the jurisdiction of Nan Binghuai's scientific research team, because there are some defects in the drawing design of the important parts responsible for tackling and manufacturing the FAST instrument, so he personally traveled thousands of miles to see Nan Binghuai for advice.

This is a major situation, Nan Binghuai naturally can't let the family wait for a long time, and immediately convened the backbone of the team present for a discussion...

They didn't even eat lunch, and they discussed until the evening, when they reached a unified understanding and made proper corrections to the design flaws in the drawings.

The person in charge was relieved: "The experts have worked hard. It's not too early, let's go out for dinner together, shall we? I would like to invite all of you. ”

Nan Binghuai heard him say this, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Gong, you have worked tirelessly for this project, and the Northern Qi Dynasty who came all the way to accompany us for public relations, we should have invited you." ”

One of the members patted himself on the belly: "Don't be polite to each other, we are all revolutionary comrades in the same trench." As the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel, in order to carry the revolution to the end, let's go out and fill our belly. ”

Everyone laughed and hugged each other and walked out—

After all, Nan Binghuai is a little older, and after some mental effort, his energy is a little overwhelmed, but for the feelings of the person in charge, he still reluctantly musters up his energy to go out to socialize.

As soon as they left the studio, Cheng Xuedong and Liu Xiaoguang rushed back from Nan's house.

When Liu Xiaoguang learned everything from the staff on duty in the studio, he took out his mobile phone to call Nan Binghuai.

Cheng Xuedong hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Lao Liu doesn't want it." ”

Liu Xiaoguang frowned: "Shouldn't we remind Professor Nan?" Since he is busy with work, he should hurry home to accompany his wife. and his sons and daughters were not scattered. ”

Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "Old Liu, you really don't know our teacher Nan!" ”

Liu Xiaoguang looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean by this?" Isn't Professor Nan willing to go home? ”

Cheng Xuedong shook his head: "Of course not." Didn't you listen to Xiao Yang on duty just now? That Zhao Gong traveled thousands of miles to repair the design loopholes in the drawings, and Mr. Nan should accompany them with reason. Besides, no one understands the teacher as our teacher, and people don't care about this matter for a long time, so why should we bother? ”

When Liu Xiaoguang heard Cheng Xuedong say this, he had no choice but to give up, and at the same time sighed: "Maybe Professor Nan has done too many things that he owes his wife, and this time is just the tip of the iceberg." ”

Cheng Xuedong thought of his wife Wang Shuzhen through Nan Binghuai's wife Zhang Meina, and couldn't help moistening his eyes: "Our team can have so many virtuous helpers who silently support us, there is no reason not to do a good job in this arduous project." ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoguang suddenly overshadowed: "You said it lightly, how many women in the world can be as knowledgeable as their mother?" Take my family's mouth, they are all making a fuss about divorcing me. ”

Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but be surprised: "What the hell is going on?" ”
