Nan Binghuai couldn't help but gasp, and secretly said in his heart: "Oops! How did I forget about it? ”

When he glanced at Liu Xiaoguang again, he found that he was working normally again.

It turned out that when Liu Xiaoguang noticed that Nan Binghuai was approaching him, he quickly put away his mobile phone and continued to focus on the computer.

You Nan Binghuai couldn't take care of this assistant at this time, but hurriedly rushed to his office-

When he checked the date with the desk calendar on his desk, his wife had already had her birthday two days earlier. However, the family didn't even make a phone call, is it angry?

With extreme anxiety, he directly dialed his wife's mobile phone-

Zhang Meina's calm voice soon came out of his mobile phone: "Binghuai, are you calling?" ”

Nan Binghuai replied with some apprehension: "Oh, I want to ask about your birthday..."

"Don't worry about it, my birthday has passed."

"I know... It's a pity I didn't get home... I'm sorry..." Nan Binghuai's tone was very empty-hearted, which was very different from the tone he had given Liu Xiaoguang a 'lesson' before.

Zhang Meina was extremely tolerant: "Binghuai, I know you must have missed going home because you were busy with work." It's all gone, so don't dwell on it. ”

The more tolerant his wife became, the more guilty Nan Binghuai became: "I have promised Lingling (Nan Jie's nickname) to go home, but I am still delayed due to something..." I really can't face our daughter in the future. ”

"Don't worry, Lingling won't blame you, and she knows that you're busy, otherwise I'll call you."

"Mina, thank you for your understanding, but it's really hard for you."

Zhang Meina smiled slightly wryly: "Who made me the wife of a scientist, I must pay and bear it while enjoying this honor." ”

Nan Binghuai's eyes couldn't help but moisten: "Mina, don't you want to know what I'm busy with?" ”

"Binghuai, you have long said that you are a member of the country, and the research project is definitely about the major national scientific research projects, if you don't want to tell me, then there must be a reason not to tell me. Why should I make it difficult for you? ”

In the face of such a reasonable wife, Nan Binghuai couldn't control his tears anymore, fortunately, this is the office, and there is no second person, he can rest assured that his tears will flow down his cheeks...

"Mina, I haven't been home in a long time, I really want to go home..." At this moment, Nan Binghuai suddenly choked up.

Zhang Meina was also emotional, restrained her emotions, and then said softly: "As long as you have time, you can go home at any time, but you have to call in advance, and I will cook you a delicious meal." ”

Nan Binghuai smiled with tears: "I really want to eat the sauerkraut stuffed dumplings you wrapped, I want to eat them in my dreams." ”

"Okay, I'll wrap you with sauerkraut-stuffed dumplings then, I don't know when you'll come back?"

"This... Let's wait until my current project is finished. ”

Zhang Meina's tentative tone: "How long will it take?" ”

"It's kind of hard to say, maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months."

"Huh? Don't be a few months, by that time, the sky is already hot, and the sauerkraut will not taste good. ”

"Oh, then I'll try to find time to go back."

"Binghuai..."

"Huh?"

Zhang Meina wanted to reproach her wife for a few words, but her tone became pitiful again: "Don't forget to rest because you are busy with work." You're not too young, so take care of your body. ”

"I know. Don't worry, I'm in good health. ”

"That's good, I'm not with you, you have to take care of yourself."

Nan Binghuai couldn't help but be moved again: "You are so good to me... But I often ignore you..."

"Don't say anything, I understand everything, because you are an ambitious man, how can you snub your dreams for the sake of a small family?"

Nan Binghuai frowned: "Do you know what my dream is?" ”

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't be worthy of being your husband and wife for more than thirty years."

"Oh, tell me about it?"

"Binghuai, when I first got married, I accidentally saw a chapter of your diary written by you, and there was a title."

"Oh, what's the title of the diary?"

"It's titled 'Secrets from afar.' You describe in your diary that your biggest dream is to reveal more secrets of distant space to mankind with a sense of responsibility as an astronomer. ”

Nan Binghuai seemed to have no time to sigh: "I have long forgotten this chapter of the diary, but my intention has never changed. You still remember that chapter of the diary, it's really my bosom friend! ”

Zhang Meina couldn't help but smile bitterly: "From that time, I realized that although I am married to you, I may not be able to have you, because you are already married to the astronomical career of the motherland." ”

Nan Binghuai showed a guilty expression again: "Mina, I owe you too much in this life. ”

"Binghuai, you must not say that. As long as you are worthy of the astronomical career of your motherland in this life, then you are the proudest man. ”

Nan Binghuai's blood suddenly boiled: "Mina... But I'm ashamed of you... I wish you weren't so nice to me..."

"Binghuai, since we are married to different partners, we should protect him loyally. You have worked hard for the astronomical cause of the motherland, and I will naturally support you with hard work. ”

"Mina, thank you. I married you, which is the greatest luck in my life. I feel like every achievement I've achieved is a reflection of your efforts. ”

Zhang Meina smiled: "If that's the case, I'll be very proud." ”

······························································

Nan Binghuai hadn't talked to his wife for a long time, and without anyone bothering him, this emotional call was simply uncontrollable.

Bang bang bang!

A sharp knock on the door finally interrupted their conversation.

Nan Binghuai woke up from his long-lost emotions: "Please come in!" ”

Cheng Xuedong pushed the door in, and when he saw Nan Binghuai holding his mobile phone, he suddenly looked uneasy: "Teacher Nan, I didn't bother you, right?" ”

Before Nan Binghuai could express his position, Zhang Meina on the other end of the phone heard the clue and hurriedly voiced: "Binghuai, you are busy, I'll hang up first." ”

Cheng Xuedong vaguely heard the woman's voice on the mobile phone, and couldn't help but move: "Is it my wife's phone?" ”

Nan Binghuai listened to the phone again, and felt that it really had no sound, so he slowly put the phone into the pocket of the white coat, and then nodded to Cheng Xuedong: "Oh, I just called home." ”

Cheng Xuedong asked tentatively: "Have you not been home for a long time?" ”

"Yes, I forgot about my wife's birthday a few days ago."

Cheng Xuedong recalled the scene at Nan's house a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel emotional: "If I knew that you were talking to my wife on the phone, I shouldn't have come to disturb me." ”

"See what you say?" Nan Binghuai said with some disgust, "It's not an important thing for our old husband and wife to chat, how can we forget our public affairs because of selfishness?" ”

"Teacher Nan, if your home is in another place, it is forgivable that you often can't take care of your home, but don't forget, your home is in this city, if you don't go home for a long time, is it unreasonable?"

Nan Binghuai's face was a little feverish: "Xiao Cheng, are you teaching me a lesson?" ”

Cheng Xuedong hurriedly waved his hand: "You are a teacher, I don't dare." I'm just giving you a suggestion. ”

Nan Binghuai pondered for a moment and couldn't help sighing: "When I read the story of Dayu's water control when I was a child, I felt that he never went home because of the water control, and even passed through the door three times without entering, which is simply an exaggerated story. However, now that it is my turn, even I am afraid that I will have to follow the example. Now our project is full of problems, where is the time for me to relax for a moment. ”

Cheng Xuedong's eyes couldn't help but moisten: "Teacher Nan, I understand the pressure you are under, you must take care of your body." ”

"Don't worry, I'm physically tough. Now let's talk about it, what's the matter with me in a hurry? ”

"Teacher Nan, I'm going to go out to inspect the place where our Tianyan is placed, so I want to hear your opinion again."

"Oh, do you have a goal of your own?"

Cheng Xuedong nodded: "I have some immature ideas. ”

Nan Binghuai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and signaled to him: "You sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

Besides, after Zhang Meina hung up the phone, she immersed herself in the warmth just now, and suddenly thought of one thing - since he didn't have time to come back, why didn't he wrap the dumplings and send them over in person?

Thinking of this, she immediately hurried to her kitchen and opened a small jar, which was a small jar of sauerkraut that she had pickled herself.

When she found that there were still two and a half sauerkraut in it, she ignored the cold sauerkraut water inside, stretched out and scooped up one of them, and the whole kitchen was suddenly filled with a strange sour smell.

Ding dong!

Just as she was placing the sauerkraut on the cutting board and chopping it with a knife, there was a sudden knock on the door in the living room.

Zhang Meina's heart moved, could it be that he came back?
