She quickly wiped her hands with a rag in the kitchen, and then hurried out to open the door—

Crunch!

When the door opened, she was greeted by her daughter Nanjie.

"Lingling, why are you here?"

"My dad is too busy to take care of this family, shouldn't I come over and care for you?"

Zhang Meina threw a grateful smile at her daughter: "Come in." ”

As soon as Nan Jie walked into the living room, she suddenly frowned: "Wow, why do you have such a big sour smell on your body?" ”

Zhang Meina hurriedly explained to her daughter: "I was on the phone with your father, and he couldn't go home because he was too busy with work, and he wanted to eat the sauerkraut stuffed dumplings I made, so I was chopping sauerkraut." ”

"Are you going to make dumplings and send them to him now?"

"Yes, since he wants to eat it, of course I'll do it as soon as possible."

Nan Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What time do you think it's now?" ”

Li Meina looked up at the clock in the living room, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

"Oh, it's all about time, then I have to hurry."

Nan Jie saw that her mother was still in a hurry to go to the kitchen, so she grabbed her arm: "My mother, don't be busy." When you finally wrap the dumplings and send them to your father's unit more than ten kilometers away, I'm afraid everyone should go to sleep. ”

Zhang Meina hurriedly shook her head: "No, your dad won't go to bed so early." ”

Nan Jie still didn't let go: "But the meal is at least early, and my father can still wait for you to deliver dumplings hungry?" ”

Zhang Meina thought about it, so she had to give up this idea: "Okay, wait for him to be sent early tomorrow." ”

"You, it's really hard work, my dad can't take care of the house, and you're still in a hurry to deliver dumplings to him?"

"Alas, you daughter-in-law, be considerate of him. The burden on his shoulders was so heavy. If we as relatives don't support him, then who will sympathize with him? ”

Nan Jie snorted in her nostrils: "Then you can get used to him, don't you know that you have motion sickness?" I also have to personally go to other people's units to deliver dumplings. ”

Zhang Meina's heart moved: "Old girl, why don't you help your mother deliver dumplings?" ”

"Did you say it was tomorrow?"

"yes, it's too late today."

Nan Jie hurriedly shook her head: "I don't have time tomorrow, and I have to attend the company's annual meeting." ”

Zhang Meina couldn't help but say angrily: "We really raised you for nothing, and we didn't help at all." ”

Nan Jie was unconvinced: "Do you think I'm a white-eyed wolf?" I didn't worry about you, so I took the time to come and see you, but I was still criticized by you. ”

Zhang Meina's eyes were a little moist: "But I hope you can care more about your father." It's not easy for him to work outside. ”

"But is it easy for you? I have suffered from diabetes for so many years, and I don't let him know. ”

"Lingling, your father is the chief researcher of the Observatory, we can't help him in his work, but at least we can't hold him back, right? He's already doing a tiring job, so we can't let him worry about his family anymore, right? ”

Nan Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are really an understanding and good wife and mother." I really don't know what kind of magic my dad used to conquer you, and after all these years, you still have to die for him? ”

"It's the power of faith!"

As soon as Nan Jie heard her mother answer loudly, she couldn't help but be stunned: "The power of faith? But you weren't in the revolutionary era, were you? ”

"Yes, when I met your father, New China had long been liberated, but we still met and fell in love in an innocent era, and it was his passion and faith that infected me, making me feel that he was a man who could stand up to the sky, so I accompanied him to the present without hesitation."

Nan Jie suddenly became interested in her father: "Mom, what you said about Dad's belief is his astronomical career, right?" ”

Zhang Meina sighed: "Yes, he has had a strong interest in astronomy since he was a child, and China's two bombs and one satellite at that time inspired many Chinese who were committed to serving the country with science and technology. At that time, your father set a lofty ambition to bring the astronomical research of the motherland to the forefront of the world and make China's contribution to the vast research of the universe for mankind. How many years have passed, his persistence has not changed his original intention, and he has entered the age of sixties, and he is still diligently exploring and working. No matter what kind of achievements he has achieved, he is still a role model for this era with the spirit of serving the country with this family. Lingling, you should be proud and proud to have such a father. ”

Nan Jie's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she was silent for a while before she sighed heartily: "Mom, I really should praise you." Because no matter what my dad will achieve, behind it is your dedication and bearing. ”

Zhang Meina was stunned: "Girl, we're talking about your father, why did it go around my head?" I'm retired now, just an ordinary housewife. ”

Nan Jie shook her head: "The more humble you are, the more I feel your greatness. Actually, I didn't get much care from my dad when I was a child, and it was because of your teaching that I felt like I had an amazing dad. ”

Zhang Meina disagreed: "He was originally an amazing man. ”

Nan Jie continued to sigh: "My father is really lucky, because he married you as a die-hard fan, no matter how much he owes you and our family, he will let you defend him desperately." ”

Listening to her daughter's words, Zhang Meina couldn't help but sigh: "Girl, what does it mean to be happy as a woman? If you are cared for all the time, you may not feel happy. When you pay silently for a man, silently support everything he does, be happy with his happiness, and be sad with his sadness, it is not a kind of happiness. In fact, happiness is sometimes a mood. As far as I am concerned, since I am married to a scientist engaged in astronomical research, I should have the spirit of dedication to the astronomical cause of the motherland, which is embodied in taking care of the scientist's life and letting him engage in scientific research in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Nan Jie felt that she was going to be 'brainwashed' by her mother, so she quickly gave a thumbs up: "Don't say anything, I'll convince you." ”

Unconsciously, night fell, Zhang Meina stared at the starlight that appeared outside the window, and said to her daughter beside her: "I don't know if he has eaten, is he losing weight again?" ”

Nan Jie was a little surprised: "Why do you always think my dad will be thin?" ”

Zhang Meina seemed reasonable: "If he doesn't go home for a long time, the whole person will definitely lose weight." Alas, it's a pity that I can't stay by his side to take care of him. ”

Nan Jie was obviously emotional: "Mom, I don't plan to attend the company's annual meeting, I'll accompany you tomorrow to deliver dumplings to my father!" ”

At the same time, it was time for Yunda Trading Company to get off work.

Li Yunjian looked very excited, because he could bring home a long-coveted beauty after work today, and he couldn't help but express the joy in his heart.

Xiao Shuyun was not as excited as him, but seemed worried. After all, I just went through the divorce procedures with Liu Xiaoguang in the morning, is it appropriate to live at the boss's house in the evening? However, in front of the boss with a strong style, she seemed at a loss and could only accept the other party's arrangement.

"Shuyun, it's time for us to go."

Li Yunjian personally came to Xiao Shuyun's office to pick her up from work.

Xiao Shuyun was a little apprehensive, so she had to discuss softly: "Mr. Li, you go first, I'll go down later." ”

Li Yunjian first sank his face: "Shuyun, what's the matter with you?" Why do you still call me 'Mr. Li'? ”

"And what shall I call you?"

"Since I call you 'Shuyun', then you should call me by my name. In the future, it is not allowed to call 'Mr. Li'. ”

"This... I... I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt. ”

"Even if you can't adapt, you have to learn to adapt."

Xiao Shuyun smiled bitterly: "I'll do my best." ”

Li Yunjian did not leave, but stood at the door and waited for her to go together.

Xiao Shuyun had to lower her voice again: "Didn't I let you go first?" ”

Li Yunjian asked rhetorically: "Why can't we go together?" ”

"I... I'm afraid my colleagues will point fingers behind my back..."

"Well, they're almost all gone now, who else cares about that?"

Xiao Shuyun blinked her confused eyeballs: "Really?" ”

"Well, can I lie to you? What time is it? ”

Xiao Shuyun looked at the time, it was already a quarter past six, and it had been a full quarter of an hour since the end of work. It turned out that she had been struggling with the problem of going home at night and refused to move a single step.

At this moment, at the urging of her boss, she reluctantly lifted her ass and slowly cleaned up the things on the table...

Li Yunjian was a little dissatisfied: "Shuyun, can you hurry up?" Keeping your boss waiting like this is not like your usual work style. ”

After all, Xiao Shuyun is a smart woman who has been in the mall for a long time, and immediately made a witty answer: "If you are my boss, I will not let you wait for a long time, but if you are my boyfriend, I am afraid I will have to test your patience." ”

When Li Yunjian heard this, he quickly changed his face to a groveling face: "Okay, I will wait for you patiently, even if it is until the sea is dry and the rocks rot." ”

Xiao Shuyun saw that he quickly turned into a low-voiced little man, and couldn't help but laugh: "I want you to wait for the sea to rot, but unfortunately I can't afford it." ”

She eventually walked out of the office.

When Li Yunjian walked out of the company building with her, he casually put his arm on her shoulder, making her feel like she was electrocuted.

"You... Don't do that. ”

"Afraid of what? This is our home. ”

"No, it's a company."

"Alas, isn't the company ours? In the future, Yunda Company will be our mom-and-pop shop. ”

Xiao Shuyun's heart moved, and she no longer had the courage to refuse his heavy arm. However, she can also imagine that when she arrives at his real home, she may not be able to refuse him.
