Cheng Xuedong looked helpless in the face of his actions, so he had to agree to go out.

Nan Binghuai saw him open the door and leave, so he continued to bow his head and read the information. Although the time was very tight, he did not ignore the address that Cheng Xuedong had denied in advance, but meticulously reviewed it in detail until Cheng Xuedong brought the food back.

"Teacher Nan, let's eat first, shall we?"

Nan Binghuai's eyes were indeed a little tired, so he obviously agreed: "Okay, let's eat first and then revolutionize!" ”

During the meal, Nan Binghuai had to stop the audit work, but still chatted with Cheng Xuedong about the topic of site selection: "Xiao Cheng, I think the places you denied are very reasonable, haven't you encountered any resistance?" ”

Cheng Xuedong was not very hungry, just to accompany Nan Binghuai to eat, so he simply put down his chopsticks and let out a wry smile: "Teacher Nan, it turns out that you gave me a fat difference." I almost didn't get rich. ”

Nan Binghuai's eyebrows moved: "Oh? What the hell is going on? ”

"Whenever I go to a place, I receive special attention from the local government at all levels. Not only did they entertain us with delicious food and drink, but they also gave us generous gifts and even large red envelopes. ”

"Didn't you accept it?"

"If I accept it, I'll be really rich."

Nan Binghuai pondered: "I have already considered this layer before, so I went to the station in person." ”

"Yes, it took me some things to understand your good intentions. In order to live up to your trust, how can I make such a fortune? ”

Nan Binghuai asked again: "Have you been taken care of like this in all the places you have inspected?" ”

Cheng Xuedong shook his head: "That's not true." However, the proportion is significant, especially in areas that do not meet the standards. ”

"Is there such a phenomenon in the four candidates you selected?"

"Yes, it's Qiu Hui."

"Qiu Hui? Since someone bribed you, do you still want to list it as a candidate address? ”

"Professor Nan, it was a local official who bribed me, but that address is correct. Therefore, although I rejected their benefits, I still didn't want to miss this suitable place to settle down. ”

Nan Binghuai nodded: "Well, you did a good job." In fact, we should also understand the practice of some local officials. They are also thinking about the local people. ”

"Yes, if we settle this super-large instrument in any region, it will bring huge benefits to the local economic development. What parent doesn't want to make a difference in the local area? ”

Cheng Xuedong was deeply touched by this, and told Nan Binghuai some twists and turns that happened during the investigation.

Nan Binghuai couldn't help but sigh when he heard that their investigation team had some processes that were close to exploration.

Nan Binghuai then used a short lunch break to review all the materials of Cheng Xuedong's inspection, and immediately arrived at the afternoon work time. He didn't have time to blink an eyelid, so he got up and stretched, intending to continue the fierce battle for another afternoon.

Cheng Xuedong followed closely and asked Nan Binghuai: "What should I do?" ”

Nan Binghuai said without thinking: "Your task today has been completed, go home early and rest." ”

"Go home and rest?" Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "My home is thousands of miles away from here." ”

"I know." Nan Binghuai smiled indifferently, "The home I'm talking about is the dormitory. You must have been on the train all night, right? Let's talk about it first. The nature of our work requires energetic workers. ”

"Mr. Nan, I have come all the way to rush back all the time, just to accept a new job, and I don't feel tired at all."

"Xiao Cheng, don't fight, obediently go to the dormitory to rest, you have to raise enough energy, you will be busy in the future."

Cheng Xuedong knew his teacher's temper very well, and knew that there was no point in arguing any longer, so he had to give up.

However, he is not sleepy yet, and when he suddenly relaxes after some nervous and busy work, he naturally thinks of his sick wife. Originally, before returning to Northern Qi, he had the opportunity to make a detour back to Shangjiang, but he was blocked by Liu Yan. This undoubtedly added a bit of melancholy to him.

At this time, he also walked up to the high terrace of the observatory, and the sun had already set in the west, casting a shadow on the terrace. He used this shadow to block out the sun, which had become poisonous hot.

He didn't have time to visit the cityscape below the terrace, but he set his sights on the southeast, which was the direction of Shangjiang. He is a native of Shangjiang, and at this time he is not only full of nostalgia, but also has infinite concern for his relatives there.

He looked at it for a long time, and he felt a sense of torment, and he couldn't help dialing his wife's mobile phone number-

"Hey, Mr. Cheng..."

When Cheng Xuedong heard the tactful voice of the familiar 'lark' again, his heart felt a lot more comfortable, because with such a sweet and mellow voice, he could conclude that everything was safe and sound on his wife's side. He listens to such voices in his heavy work habits to relieve his stress.

"Yan'er, are you okay?" He greeted the other party inexplicably this time.

As a result, Liu Yan was simply a little flattered: "You... Are you asking me? ”

Cheng Xuedong was stunned, and then realized that every time he made a call, he always asked his beloved wife straight to the point, because his beloved wife was so important to him. But when did you take into account the feelings of this young female astronomer? He suddenly felt that he owed too much to others.

"Yes... It's so hard for you to take care of me for so long. I can't repay this kindness. ”

Liu Yan couldn't help choking up when she was excited: "It's up to you... This sentence... No matter how much I give... It's all worth it..."

Cheng Xuedong didn't expect her to be so excited, and couldn't help but wonder: "Yan'er, you? ”

Liu Yan immediately concealed her emotions, and asked with concern: "How are you doing?" Did the expedition go well? ”

"I'm fine. The inspection work has ended, and he has just returned to Beiqi City. Thank you for your concern. ”

"What is my concern? I inquired on behalf of Sister Shuzhen. Although she doesn't want to disturb you, I know that she is thinking about you all the time, and she is also concerned about this great project of the country. ”

Cheng Xuedong was moved: "Yan'er, I really want to tell Shuzhen about the progress of the project in person." ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan prevaricated again: "You told me the same." My expressive skills are very strong. ”

Cheng Xuedong was puzzled again: "Why can't I tell her directly?" ”

"She... Not at home at the moment. ”

"Where did she go again?"

"She's playing poker at the next door's house."

"She's playing poker again? Still addicted? ”

"Yes, Dr. Liao persuaded her to have some entertainment activities, which will help her mental and physical health."

"Well, as long as she can be well, she can feel as comfortable as she wants."

"Don't worry, she has already lived, and I will take care of her."

Cheng Xuedong was embarrassed to ask too much about his sick wife's situation, so he turned to her again: "Yan'er, it's really hard for you." I've been upset about your behavior, though. ”

"Disturbed?" Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but be stunned, "Don't you worry that I can take care of Sister Shuzhen?" ”

"No, no, no!" Cheng Xuedong shook his head again and again, "I feel uneasy because I buried you, a rising star in astronomy, and I don't feel good about letting you, a female master, take on a job of serving people." This will delay your bright future. ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but move in her heart: "Since you think so, you can repay me." ”

Cheng Xuedong's eyes lit up: "Tell me quickly, how do you want me to repay it?" ”

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, "If Sister Shuyun doesn't need me to take care of her, can you find a way to get me into the scientific research team of your FAST project?" ”

Cheng Xuedong's heart was shocked: "Shuyun will not need you to take care of it?" ”

Liu Yan hurriedly defended: "I mean, if Sister Shuyun's condition is good and she doesn't need my care, then I can't be unemployed?" Can you give me a hand? ”

Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are not a jobless vagrant, but a promising astronomer, how can you be unemployed?" ”

"I'm still a young girl, how can I be a famous astronomer like you? I've been on vacation from Taiwan for several months, and no one has urged me to go to work, but they haven't quit me, which means that I'm definitely like a chicken rib here. ”

"Don't be so presumptuous." Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but say angrily, "You are still so young, as long as you work hard, your future prospects are limitless." ”

"Teacher Cheng, do you really think so?"

"Of course. Shuzhen usually praises your high understanding. ”

"In that case, you have to help me grow."

"Would you still like to join our FAST team?"

"Well, it's a dream of mine. Of course, if it doesn't work, I won't force it. You must not be burdened with anything. ”

"Yan'er, I'm afraid it's really not good. First of all, I'm just a nobody in this team, how can I have the right to recruit new people to join? Besides, even if our team wants to add some fresh blood, we will still have to select those senior astronomers who have made scientific achievements. ”

Liu Yan's tone was full of earnestness: "I know. Actually, I'm like a Cinderella compared to you. Didn't you say that I was a promising and promising one, though? I can only grow faster by working with you teachers and learning from you. I... Even if it's a handyman there. ”

Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yan'er, don't think how sacred and elegant our work here is, in fact, every team of us is crawling and rolling every day, working overtime every day, and we can't persevere without a little willpower." So, we only have a handful of female staff here. ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan still said: "This is also very good." Only through hard training can I grow up as soon as possible and quench it into steel under a thousand tempers. ”

Cheng Xuedong felt that the girl on the phone was too naïve, but considering the other party's feelings, he had to cover it up: "Okay, when Shuzhen says that she doesn't need you to take care of her, I will plead with Teacher Nan to see if he can recruit you into the team." ”

"Okay, I hope to look forward to it infinitely."

"Infinite anticipation?" Cheng Xuedong glared at him with confused eyes, "Although our project will span several years, it is not indefinite. Where do you start with your infinite expectations? ”

Liu Yan's voice became excited again: "I don't care. If the project is completed in the process of my expectation, I will not feel any regrets, but I will be very happy. ”

Cheng Xuedong thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the knot in the girl's heart on the other end of the phone, so he had to be confused: "Yan'er, I really can't read the heart of your young girl." ”

"Teacher Cheng... My mind is not complicated at all, but very simple. I can't do without Sister Shuzhen now, and I hope to spend more time with her, even if I miss my future..."

Cheng Xuedong's heart was shocked again, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "Yan'er, what's going on with Shuzhen?" ”
