Chapter 77: Spiritual Pillars
Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but listen to Nan Binghuai's words, and slowly walked out with a heavy heart. His legs were like lead at this time, and they looked extremely heavy.
He finally approached the door of the building, and happened to meet Cheng Xuedong leading Li Mengmeng and Liu Ning unexpectedly.
Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but say excitedly when he saw Liu Xiaoguang coming out: "I haven't seen Ning Ning for a long time, this kid has grown taller and has become a big boy." ”
Liu Ning looked at his father carefully, and finally read a trace of haggard in the other party's expression, and he couldn't help but be moved. In the past, he always complained that his father neglected his son, but as a son, how could he pay attention to him? Dad is really aging too fast compared to Mom.
Liu Xiaoguang had a completely complicated expression, and his eyes suddenly blurred in the face of his son, who was no longer a family.
Perhaps men are very reserved when expressing their feelings, and they are not as easy to reveal as women, and this father and son are no exception, although they are full of affection and restrain each other in their hearts. Father and son just held on to each other in a daze.
Li Mengmeng's emotional eyes froze on Liu Xiaoguang's face for a while, and then he reached out and poked Cheng Xuedong who was standing beside him: "Brother Cheng, can you take me to visit here?" ”
Cheng Xuedong naturally understood what this smart girl meant, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll make an exception and take you around here." ”
Li Mengmeng said curiously while walking with Cheng Xuedong: "Why do you say it's an exception'?" ”
"Because we are a scientific research center here, we refuse to be visited by outsiders."
"Oh, am I going to give you trouble?"
Cheng Xuedong shook his head with a smile: "No, because Professor Nan has specially approved you to come in, he won't hide everything here." ”
Li Mengmeng chuckled: "Professor Nan is really a good old man. Will I be able to meet him? ”
"Absolutely. However, he was the busiest of us. ”
Li Mengmeng nodded: "Well, he is the chief scientist of the FAST project, which is really enviable." ”
"Really? But there are so few people in the whole country who know about him. ”
Li Mengmeng naturally understood the meaning of his words, so he smiled: "He, including you, are the unsung heroes of the motherland. ”
Cheng Xuedong was a little embarrassed to be praised: "You girl is really good at talking, our Professor Nan deserves it, I can't count it." ”
"Don't be modest, when our country's 'eye in the sky' is completed, all the scientists who participated in the construction will be heroes."
Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but sigh: "Not only our scientific and technological personnel are involved in this project, but also hundreds of cooperative units across the country. Behind this project are thousands of unsung heroes. ”
Li Mengmeng smiled: "In this way, this project can be said to be the power of the whole country." ”
"Almost, this is a super project, and it can't do without the support of the people of the whole country."
Li Mengmeng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "It's a pity that I can't make a contribution to this 'Tianyan' worthy of the pride of all Chinese." ”
Cheng Xuedong glanced at it: "If a girl wants to make a contribution, it's not impossible." ”
Li Mengmeng's eyes lit up: "Then what can I do?" ”
"You can help us inject a spiritual strength into Professor Liu, so that he can better use his wisdom."
Li Mengmeng's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but say shyly: "I... May I? ”
"Of course you can, the girl is just a gesture."
Li Mengmeng misunderstood what he meant, and suddenly said shyly: "I... Listen to you. ”
Cheng Xuedong's words changed: "Is Xiao Shuyun's condition better?" ”
"Well, she's been discharged from the hospital today."
"Oh, where does she live?"
"She still needs me and my dad to take care of her, of course, living in my house."
Cheng Xuedong pondered: "Is it appropriate for her to live in your house?" ”
"How is it not suitable? She lived in my house before she got sick. ”
Cheng Xuedong suddenly stopped, and looked directly at the girl beside him: "Have you told her all about Professor Liu's current work?" ”
Li Mengmeng shook her head: "No." ”
Cheng Xuedong frowned: "Why don't you tell her?" ”
Li Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the other party meant: "Do you want her to change her mind about Brother Liu?" ”
"Yes, if you can take Professor Liu into a difficult job that he is currently engaged in, and convince your father to let Xiao Shuyun go, and finally prompt Professor Liu to reunite with her, it will be equivalent to contributing to this project."
Li Mengmeng was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help frowning: "But Brother Liu has obviously let go of Sister Shuyun, why do you force the two of them together?" ”
Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Did Lao Liu really let go of her?" You really don't understand what kind of mood he is in at the moment. ”
"Of course I can understand Brother Liu's suffering, can only Sister Shuyun make him reinvigorate?"
"You're still young, you really don't understand the hearts of our men. Where does the salt come from, and where does the vinegar come from? Professor Liu's heart knot is Xiao Shuyun. If Xiao Shuyun chooses to tolerate and support him at this moment, that is the best encouragement for him. Xiao Shuyun is actually his spiritual pillar. ”
Li Mengmeng was unconvinced: "Besides Sister Shuyun, there is no other woman to become his spiritual pillar?" ”
Cheng Xuedong was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Li Mengmeng's cheeks were a little feverish: "Brother Liu can find another woman to be his spiritual support." ”
"What does the girl mean to let him remarry?"
Li Mengmeng nodded shyly.
Cheng Xuedong didn't notice her abnormal demeanor, and immediately shook his head: "No, firstly, Lao Liu has no time to talk about feelings at present, and secondly, this halfway couple is not good, and he can't understand his difficulty." ”
Li Mengmeng's face was flushed, and she shouted loudly: "What 'halfway couple'?" He's halfway there, and this girl is the starting point! ”
Cheng Xuedong was suddenly stunned, and a pair of surprised eyes locked on the other party's embarrassed expression.
Li Mengmeng was also stunned by her own words, how could she accidentally say it? Under the other party's attention, her beautiful face turned red more like a red apple.
Besides, Liu Xiaoguang has led his son to the terrace where he excretes his depression. At this time, it was not cold outside, it was the moment when the sun was shining, but Liu Xiaoguang's heart was still dim, and it was really difficult for his son to talk about the divorce.
Liu Ning hesitated for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to speak first: "Dad, that beautiful sister has already told me everything." I blamed you for the past, and I apologize to you! ”
Liu Xiaoguang also stared at his son in amazement, but showed a hint of apology for a long time: "Ning Ning, thank you for being considerate of Dad, but Dad is sorry for you, not only does he not care enough about you usually, but now he pushes you to others." ”
Liu Ning said emotionally: "Dad, I used to blame me for being bad and making you sad." However, I will not leave you. ”
"But... I've given you up to your mother..."
"My mom won't leave you either."
"Ning Ning... What do you mean? Your mother and I are divorced. ”
"What is divorce? Isn't it possible to remarry? I have several classmates whose parents divorced and remarried. ”
Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your mother's situation and I are different from others. When they break up because of trivial matters, it is easy to remarry when they come to their senses. But my father and mother broke up intellectually. Besides, your mother has become a family with the sister who brought you here, doesn't that sister now treat you as a brother? ”
Liu Ning's eyes moistened: "Dad, can you bear to leave us?" ”
Liu Xiaoguang was shocked: "Dad doesn't want to do this, but Dad really can't bring any happiness to your mother and son at present." Especially if your mom has found a man she likes. If I am married to her, shouldn't I fulfill her? ”
"Dad, but you are the man who loves your mother the most, I think a woman should be by the side of the man who loves her the most, that is the happiest."
Liu Xiaoguang was really impressed by his son when he heard that he could say this, but he defended: "Who said that Dad is the person who loves her the most? In her eyes, Mr. Li is the man who loves her the most, and it is enough. ”
"But Mom is at the most critical juncture, you can still stand up for her!"
Liu Xiaoguang was surprised: "Mengmeng told you about this too?" ”
Liu Ning nodded: "She told me everything." ”
Liu Xiaoguang smiled bitterly: "It was Mengmeng who informed me, not her father, if that Mr. Li was there, he would have done the same." Ning Ning, it is human instinct to save people, even if it is not the person you love the most, you will have no hesitation. ”
Liu Ning saw that his father did not mean to get back together with his mother, and he was immediately entangled: "Dad, don't you really want to be a family with me and my mother again?" ”
Liu Xiaoguang suddenly said emotionally: "No matter at any time, we will always be a family!" ”
Liu Ning's eyes lit up: "Since we are a family, we should be together." ”
Liu Xiaoguang shook his head gently: "A family doesn't necessarily have to live together." For me, it is not the most important thing whether you and your mother live with me, the most important thing is that you can find warmth in a new environment and live happily with people who can bring you happiness and warmth. ”
Liu Ning looked contradictory in the face of his father's words, hesitated for a moment, and then muttered: "I'll go back and ask my mother what she means, in case she can change her mind, you don't want to leave us." ”
Liu Xiaoguang was shocked, and hurriedly shouted to his son: "Ning Ning, even if Dad begs you, don't tell her about me sending her to the hospital!" ”
Liu Ning looked at his father's eagerness on his face, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is this?" ”
Liu Xiaoguang smiled bitterly again: "Silly child, dad asks you, do you love your mother?" ”
Liu Ning nodded vigorously: "Love, of course I love!" ”
"Then can you bear to let your mother live in a disturbed conscience for the rest of her life?"
Liu Ning was stunned: "This... Why is that? ”
