Chapter 147: The Best of Both Worlds
At this time, Zhu Xu and Dou Yuzhu were like a couple who reunited after the catastrophe and kept hugging each other tightly, as if once they let go of everything, it would be unreal.
Nan Binghuai first gave them enough time for emotional interaction, until it was almost over, and then stepped forward to persuade them: "Xiao Zhu, it's not too early, take Yuzhu home quickly, presumably she is still hungry." ”
Zhu Xu was reminded by Nan Binghuai, and then reluctantly let go of his beloved wife, and at the same time realized that they hadn't eaten, and they hadn't eaten breakfast, and when they realized this, they were suddenly hungry.
They didn't go back to Zhu Xu's house first, but went to a small restaurant for a meal first. In addition to the two of them and Nan Binghuai, there are also drivers. After all, the driver has also been with him for so long that he has already delayed lunch.
During the meal, Dou Yuzhu, whose emotions were eased, expressed her gratitude to Nan Binghuai: "Professor Nan, I have made trouble for you for my family's affairs." ”
Nan Binghuai said with a smile: "Yuzhu, don't be polite. Xiao Zhu is the hero of our team. As the leader of the team, I was supposed to solve problems in the personal life of our heroes. In fact, I have been derelict in my duties. ”
Dou Yuzhu's eyes lit up: "Professor Nan, can you help us?" Thank you so much! I..."
Zhu Xu hurriedly interjected: "Zhuzhu don't make any requests to Professor Nan. He's busy enough. ”
Nan Binghuai glanced at Zhu Xu with a strange look: "Xiao Zhu, stop talking, listen to Yuzhu finish talking first." ”
Zhu Xu scratched his head apologetically, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Dou Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage: "Actually, I didn't go back to my hometown this time to be angry, but because of my physical reasons, I need my relatives to take care of me." For example, in terms of food, I can't smell any kitchen fumes at the moment, and I can't buy all ready-made food. Zhu Xu is usually so busy with work, I can't bear to distract him. ”
Nan Bing stared at her with respectful eyes: "I have already seen the book you left for Xiao Zhu, and I am deeply moved by your heart and attitude." But it is unrealistic for you to choose to go back to your hometown to raise a baby. In addition to the poor medical level in your hometown, there is another important factor, that is, you also need a career. Now you can work for a few more months, and it is good for the baby to keep a happy mood and do what you can. So, you have to choose to stay here. ”
Dou Yuzhu glanced at Zhu Xu beside him uneasily: . This... Will it pull him back? ”
"Miss Yuzhu, do you think that you will become an obstacle to Xiao Zhu's work at the moment?"
"At least distract him."
Nan Binghuai suddenly asked: "Yuzhu, do you know what family affection means to your career?" ”
Dou Yuzhu shook her head blankly, expressing puzzlement.
Nan Binghuai said meaningfully: "Family affection is all the motivation for us to pay and struggle willingly. Xiao Zhu can only burst out with passion and wisdom in his career with the family affection you give. ”
Dou Yuzhu turned to stare at Zhu Xu with watery eyes: "Is that so?" ”
Zhu Xu's eyes moistened: "Zhuzhu, I regret very much that I told you such irresponsible words as having a fetus." I'm actually very eager for a life. ”
Dou Yuzhu blinked her big curious eyes: "What life?" ”
Zhu Xu turned his head to the window and raised his eyes full of longing: "That is the process of our child from conception to arrival." For a person, happiness can only be felt when there is expectation. Therefore, when I often see your gradually bulging lower abdomen, it will evoke infinite reverie, and that kind of emotion will make me remember it for a lifetime. ”
Dou Yuzhu couldn't help but look down at her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and a happy shyness swelled on her cheeks.
Nan Binghuai took the opportunity to say: "So, Yuzhu wants to give Xiao Zhu such a sense of happiness and let him feel such a joy of family." ”
Dou Yuzhu's eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly: "If that's the case, can he still work with peace of mind?" ”
Nan Binghuai couldn't help laughing: "This is not a contradiction, not only Xiao Zhu can work with peace of mind, but you can also work for a period of time until it is time for maternity leave." ”
"But... I can't do without someone taking care of my situation? ”
"You can't live without people, but it may not be Xiao Zhu himself."
"I thought so too. However, both of my parents are thousands of miles away from home, and they are not in good health, so they can't come to take care of me. ”
"Haha, don't you think you don't have any relatives in this city?"
Zhu Xu didn't wait for Dou Yuzhu to speak, so he replied first: "Yes, of course there is." For example, our colleagues at the observatory are our relatives. ”
Nan Binghuai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Well said! Not only the colleagues in our unit are relatives, but also the colleagues in Yuzhu's unit are relatives. Isn't Yuzhu's care for these relatives enough? ”
Dou Yuzhu was a little stammering: "My colleagues will naturally take care of me when I work, but what about when I go home?" Do you say..."
Nan Binghuai hurriedly picked up: "Can't I follow you to the house to take care of you?" ”
Zhu Xu was also puzzled at this time: "Who is okay at home, how can they go to my house to take care of it?" ”
"Why not? We can find a reliable person to take care of Yuzhu at home for a long time, so that we can help Xiao Zhu share how much of the family's burden. ”
Zhu Xu's brows were almost twisted: "Who can do this?" ”
"Haha, this person is far away in front of you."
Zhu Xu and Dou Yuzhu shot out stunned eyes at the same time: "Ah... Is that you? ”
Nan Binghuai hurriedly waved his hand: "How can it be an old man like me, but a person who has a close relationship with me." ”
Zhu Xu's mind reacted quickly: "Could it be that you mean my wife?" ”
Nan Binghuai nodded violently: "Right!" Those who know me, Xiao Zhu also! ”
Zhu Xu was surprised at the same time: "How can this be done?" How can my wife take care of Zhuzhu at such an age? ”
Dou Yuzhu was also uneasy: "This can't be done, I can't afford it." ”
Nan Binghuai's face sank: "You don't dislike her, do you?" ”
Zhu Xu and Dou Yuzhu shook their heads at the same time: "How come?" We can't bear to let her suffer for us. ”
"Who said she would be affected?" Nan Binghuai turned to smile: "Actually, she is usually bored at home, which has always been a heart problem for me." If she is given something to do, it will enrich her life in her later years. Our own pair of children live far away, and if we and Yuzhu usually take care of each other, wouldn't it be a good thing to have the best of both worlds? ”
Dou Yuzhu smiled bitterly: "But I can't take care of her old man." ”
"What old man? She's not old. This year's 60th birthday has just passed, and his body is still very strong. Besides, with Yuzhu's physical condition, she usually only needs someone to take care of her life, and it is not too tiring. She can handle it. ”
Although Zhu Xu was upset, he didn't want to live up to Nan Binghuai's kindness, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is my wife going to live in my house?" ”
Nan Binghuai pondered: "You and I are not too far apart, and we only need to take a bus to get there." Well, she can run at two ends a day. Of course, if you're too busy to get home at night, she can stay at your house once in a while. ”
Dou Yuzhu frowned again: "In this way, my wife is still too hard. ”
Nan Binghuai waved his hand: "Don't think too much, do everything according to my opinion." ”
The matter has come to this, Zhu Xu and Dou Yuzhu take a look at each other, and it is not good to have any objections.
Nan Binghuai seemed relieved at this time: "Let's hurry up and eat." I will send you both home, and then I will go back to my home, tell your wife about it, and then take her to your house to recognize you. ”
Zhu Xu said tentatively: "Now do you need the two of us to visit my wife first?" ”
Nan Binghuai waved his hand again and refused: "You two should go home first and wait for the letter, and take the opportunity to get together." Xiao Zhu may not have such a rich time in the future. ”
Dou Yuzhu was a little uneasy: "If he wants to be busy, he will go back to work today, right?" ”
Nan Binghuai shook his head resolutely: "No, I have to give him a holiday today." Actually, when he finished the RS-76 project, I had the idea of giving him a few days off. But he is so good, our scientific research team really can't do without him. ”
Dou Yuzhu couldn't help but stare at her husband again, her eyes were full of admiration and pride.
Nan Binghuai instructed the driver to send Zhu Xu and his wife home first, and then return to their home.
The driver participated in the whole process just now, and his admiration for Nan Binghuai's approach was overflowing: "Professor Nan, you really did your best for this project, and now even your wife has come in." ”
Nan Binghuai returned to scientific research in his heart, and felt that time was a little pressing, so he ignored the driver's words, and quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed his wife's number-
Zhang Meina had just finished her lunch break, and she was accustomed to cleaning up at home, and when the mobile phone rang, she immediately put down the mop in her hand and walked over to her mobile phone.
Originally, she thought it was her daughter calling, but when she saw that it was a call from her wife, she was surprised - he should be very busy now, how could he have time to call himself?
She didn't think about it for long, and immediately answered the phone: "Hello? ”
Nan Binghuai's decisive tone came from the mobile phone: "Mina, you are at home, hurry up and pack up and wait for me." I'm going to give you an important task, and the car will be there in a moment. ”
Zhang Meina's heart moved, what was the important thing that made him run in person?
However, she didn't interrogate too much on the phone, because she knew that her wife was rushing home by car. After she said, "Slow down, stay safe", she hung up the phone and began to get nervously busy...
In less than a quarter of an hour, she had gathered up and walked out of the building.
By this time, she had already seen the familiar car coming from far and near...
Zhang Meina looked at the Mercedes-Benz car and couldn't help but wonder in her heart - what important things did he want to explain to himself?
