"It's not like that!"

Liu Yan was worried that it would affect Xiaowei's mood, so she quickly explained: "After all, he has an important responsibility, and it is inevitable that he will not encounter urgent things. He had already told me on the phone that he would rush back as soon as he was done with the important matters at hand. ”

"Alas, it's almost dark now, if he hasn't been on the way back, hasn't he missed my college entrance examination?"

"Xiaowei, your college entrance examination is more than one day. Even if he can't catch the college entrance examination on the first day, he will accompany you in the subsequent college entrance examination. ”

Xiaowei frowned: "Why is my dad so busy, it's been almost half a year since he left last time, right?" I didn't even go home. ”

"Xiaowei, you have to understand Dad, when you are engaged in an important national project, let alone thousands of miles away from home, even if your home is in the same city, you may not be able to go home often."

"Oh, really?"

"Can I lie to you? Your father said on the phone that he has a colleague's home living less than a few kilometers away from the unit, but he is busy with work and often does not go home for several days. He also looks up to Professor Nan as a role model. ”

Xiaowei couldn't help grinning: "Why have they all become workaholics, don't they know how to enjoy the good life in the world?" ”

Liu Yan's eyes couldn't help moistening: "Xiaowei, do you think your life is very beautiful now?" ”

"yes, I don't know how many times better than when I was a kid. For example, today's mobile phones and the Internet make our spiritual life extremely fulfilling. ”

"Xiaowei, you said it very well, technology has indeed changed our lives. But you have overlooked the most critical point, behind these high-tech are the hard work of countless scientific and technological work. If it weren't for their round-the-clock scientific research, how could we live with these high-tech companions? Your dad is one of them. ”

"Oh, is that so?"

"Can I lie to you? Don't you know that Dad is working on the world's largest FAST project? ”

Xiaowei nodded: "Well, I do know something." ”

"The so-called FAST project is a huge radio telescope. Through it, you can see the farthest places in the universe. Then, we can learn the secrets of distant places. It is even used to study the changes of the universe and the origin of life. Tell me, would we be proud if we could know something that no one knew before? ”

Xiaowei listened with excitement: "If my father can really contribute to this, then I really admire him so much." ”

Liu Yan smiled happily: "Yes, you don't know how many scientists in the country regret their lives because they didn't have the opportunity to participate in this super project." Since your father is fortunate enough to participate, shouldn't you cherish this opportunity, work selflessly, and strive to make greater achievements? ”

Xiaowei was thrilled when she heard this: "If my father can become a meritorious scientist, then I will be proud of him." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by talking about being a Meritorious Scientist?"

"It's like a scientist with two bombs and one star, and he is a household name."

Liu Yan couldn't help sighing: "Alas! Do you know how many tech workers worked for two bombs and one star at that time? ”

Xiaowei shook her head blankly.

"There were hundreds of people involved in those projects, but the only people who really remembered the names of those who were in charge were the ones who were unknown at the time, and the vast majority of them were unsung heroes, despite the same amount of wisdom and sweat. Xiaowei, please tell me, are those unsung heroes considered meritorious scientists? ”

"This..." Xiao Wei couldn't help but feel on a whim, "Those unsung heroes can also be regarded as meritorious scientists." They are even more valuable if they don't want to be famous. ”

"That's right. Your father was an ordinary member of the project of the century for the state. Can he be considered a Meritorious Scientist? ”

Xiaowei nodded excitedly.

Liu Yan took the opportunity to say: "But it is not easy to become such a meritorious scientist. Not only do they have to give unimaginable to ordinary people, but they will even sacrifice a lot of time with their families. Sometimes, when the family needs them the most, they can't help themselves. Because they have dedicated all their energy to the country and to the cause they are engaged in. ”

Xiao Weimao suddenly opened her mouth and couldn't help but say excitedly: "I understand, if my father can't come back to accompany me for the college entrance examination, I won't blame him anymore." I'll be so proud of him! ”

Liu Yan smiled sincerely: "I'm really happy to hear you say this." If your father doesn't come back, he won't feel guilty if he knows that you have this thought, but will be very relieved. ”

Xiaowei's heart moved: "Can I call my father?" ”

Liu Yan hurriedly shook his head: "It's better not to." ”

"Why?"

"If your dad can get back in time, he'll do anything he can. Your phone can only be a burden on him. ”

Xiaowei hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, the purpose of my call is to express my thoughts to him and not let him regret not coming back." ”

"I know what you mean, but I think it's better to wait for news from your dad first. In case he's busy with something very important right now, he'll be distracted by your phone call. ”

"Oh, will it be?"

"Xiaowei, you are not engaged in scientific research, and you don't know that as a scientific and technological worker, you have to be distracted. For example, if you are going to take the college entrance examination, if there are external factors to disturb it, it will affect your energy, and thus affect the final results. ”

Xiaowei nodded convincingly: "I understand, if my score can reach one, when I choose a major, I will also be a glorious scientific and technological worker like my father and mother." ”

Liu Yan's eyes were filled with tears of excitement: "Xiaowei... Auntie knows you have such ambitions... I'm really happy for you... I believe in your dad... Mom will be pleased..."

Xiaowei didn't understand why she was so excited, and quickly corrected: "You are not a few years older than me, and you are my mother's student, I still call you 'sister'." ”

"You name it."

At this time, Liu Yan was bitter in her heart, and she had no extravagant hopes for becoming the stepmother of the girl in front of her in the future, because this was based on the premise of sacrificing her Shuzhen. She would rather be commensurate with Sister Xiaowei forever, as long as Wang Shuzhen can live forever.

She told Xiaowei so many truths, the purpose of which was to give a preventive shot so that Cheng Xuedong might not be able to come back in time. Although Nan Binghuai has already promised her, who can guarantee that Cheng Xuedong will definitely be able to rush back?

After Liu Yan walked out of Xiaowei's room, she couldn't wait to take out the key from her clothes pocket, and then unscrew Wang Shuzhen's bedroom. It turned out that in order to prevent Xiaowei from breaking in suddenly, she simply locked the door.

At this time, Wang Shuzhen had reached a semi-comatose state, and she was already unaware of Liu Yan opening the door and entering, which made Liu Yan's heart tighten, and she hurried over-

"Sister Shuzhen! How are you?? ”

With her exclamation, Wang Shuzhen slowly revealed her gray eyes, but unfortunately her eyes were still hazy, and she couldn't distinguish the outline of Liu Yan's body.

"Yan'er... Xuedong..."

Liu Yan couldn't bear to stimulate her, so she had to cover up: "Teacher Cheng is still on the way... You've got to hold on..."

"Yan'er, don't cry... If I can't see Xuedong... I won't go... You must not affect Xiaowei... Don't affect her college entrance examination tomorrow..."

Liu Yan saw that she was already dying, and she was still thinking of her relatives in her heart, and she couldn't help but hide her face and sob.

Wang Shuzhen thought of her daughter again at this time, so she asked tremblingly, "Have you cooked for Xiaowei?" ”

Liu Yan shook her head weakly: "No." ”

"Go cook for her... Leave me alone... I'm going to make her something delicious... This kid's food at school isn't very good..."

"Don't worry, Xiao Wei is cooking."

"Xiao Wei... Wei Chaoyang? ”

"Well, he knows you're not doing well... Came here to help..."

"Oh... Tell him to come in..."

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to thank him..."

Liu Yan's tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes again: "You are like this... Don't talk too much..."

Ding dong!

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

Wang Shuzhen faintly heard it, and couldn't help but let out an earnest voice: "Hurry... It's Xuedong back..."

Liu Yan knew in her heart that even if Cheng Xuedong took the high-speed train back as originally planned, he would not arrive home so soon. But she had to echo Wang Shuzhen: "Okay, I'll go open the door immediately." ”

When she ran out of the bedroom to open the door, she found Dr. Liao standing outside the door with a medicine box on his back.

As if she had met a savior, Liu Yan exclaimed with joy and sorrow: "Doctor Liao! ”

Dr. Liao looked at her with pity: "How is she doing?" ”

"It's not good... I can't see people anymore..."

Dr. Liao immediately stepped forward decisively: "Take me to her!" ”

Liu Yan was worried about alarming Xiaowei in the other bedroom, and after making a silent gesture to Dr. Liao, she immediately led him to Wang Shuzhen's room.

Wang Shuzhen is not in a coma this time, and is still waiting eagerly...

"Sister Shuzhen, Dr. Liao has come to see you!"

Wang Shuzhen opened her gray eyes again: "Doctor Liao... Thank you..."

Although Wang Shuzhen refused to go to the hospital at this moment, she also knew that it would be difficult to survive until the moment when her lover came back with her own perseverance, and even waited for the moment when her daughter went out for the college entrance examination. She also had to rely on the doctor to keep her alive, even if it was to prolong her life for a few more hours.

Dr. Liao's eyes were already moist, and he was full of respect for the female patient in front of him who was struggling on the line of life and death: "Comrade Wang Shuzhen, you are good. I will definitely make you look forward to the moment when Professor Cheng returns home. ”

"I... I know Xuedong is so busy... If you can't come back... I understand... But you must help me until the moment when Xiaowei goes out for the college entrance examination tomorrow..."

Dr. Liao nodded tearfully: "You will..."

Wang Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "If I can't do it... Please keep your voice... I have to wait for my daughter to go out before I mourn..."

Liu Yan couldn't listen anymore, and kept sobbing: "What are you talking about... You'll be fine..."

Dr. Liao checked her physical indicators and comforted: "Comrade Wang Shuzhen, you are the strongest woman, as long as you have faith, you will definitely look forward to everything you want. ”

According to Wang Shuzhen's condition, Dr. Liao immediately used the small medicine box he brought and injected her with a shot of calcium gluconate first.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wang Shuzhen's eyesight was restored a little, and she could clearly see two shaking figures in front of her, one of which was Liu Yan, whom she was familiar with.

Then she cheered up: "Yan'er... I'm much better... You don't want to keep watch over me... It's enough to have Dr. Liao here... Go out and entertain Xiao Wei and Xiao Wei..."

Liu Yan had already heard the movement outside the door, and it was estimated that Wei Chaoyang had almost finished dinner, so he had to wipe his tears: "Okay, it's all up to Dr. Liao here." ”

Wang Shuzhen suddenly thought of one thing: "Did Dr. Liao eat it?" ”

Dr. Liao was already sweating profusely just now, so how could he still take care of eating?

"I've already eaten at home. Don't worry about me. ”

Just as Liu Yan was about to go out, Dr. Liao suddenly told her, "Please bring something to eat from outside later." ”
