Nan Binghuai frowned slightly: "Yuzhu should take maternity leave now, right?" Can't you live without people for a moment? What's going on with her? ”

Zhang Meina saw that her wife was a little anxious, and immediately hesitated, because he had said before that this project was inseparable from a good assistant like Zhu Xu. If she wants to tell the truth, won't it make her wife even more anxious?

"Well, what do you say? It's not that she can't leave people for a moment, but if there is no one around to take care of her overnight, there will be unpredictable risks. ”

Nan Binghuai was a little gloomy: "Alas, you deliberately went home to accompany me today, that's why..."

"Okay, don't blame yourself, call Xiao Zhu first and ask him if he will go back tonight?"

Nan Binghuai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Tonight has already turned the page, and the real tonight has not yet come." ”

Zhang Meina was stunned: "Then you can ask where he is now?" ”

Nan Binghuai thought about it for a while, and felt that no matter where Zhu Xu was at the moment, he must still be asleep, people have worked hard enough recently, can he still bear to disturb other people's rest?

"Forget it, you better call Yuzhu and ask about the situation."

Zhang Meina saw that her wife kicked the 'ball' to herself, and she didn't want to disturb Dou Yuzhu, but she was really uneasy, so she stopped for a 'foot bath', and after hurriedly helping him dry it, she immediately turned around and went out to find her mobile phone.

In the living room, Zhang Meina dialed Dou Yuzhu's mobile phone when there was no one else around-

She thought that the other party would not answer the phone soon, so she prepared patiently, but unexpectedly, she soon found Dou Yuzhu's helpless voice on the phone: "Aunt Zhang... Quick··· I'm uncomfortable..."

Zhang Meina was taken aback: "What's wrong with you, Yuzhu?" ”

"I... I flashed... Very uncomfortable... I was going to call you..."

"Isn't Zhu Xu at home?"

"Alas, he's so busy... It's almost gone... How can I have time to go home..."

"Don't you want him to know?"

"As long as... As long as I can get through this... Don't drag him down..."

"You... What do you want me to do? ”

"I don't have mobility right now... Need help..."

Zhang Meina couldn't care about what time it was, and immediately said: "Don't move, I'll be there soon!" ”

After she hung up the phone, she felt that she had to let her wife know the truth of the matter, so she hurried back to the bedroom-

Unexpectedly, when she pushed the door in, she was stunned - Nan Binghuai had already fallen asleep comfortably after a comfortable foot bath.

Zhang Meina stared at his tired and comfortable face, could no longer bear to alarm him, thought for a moment, immediately dressed herself, and then quietly slipped out of the bedroom.

Before leaving home, she knocked on the door of her daughter's bedroom, where she was resting.

Nan Jie was called out of the bedroom in her sleep. While rubbing her sleepy eyes, she said angrily: "Mom, it's not dawn yet, people have just fallen asleep, why bother me?" ”

Zhang Meina had no choice but to briefly explain Dou Yuzhu's situation to her daughter.

Nan Jie immediately sobered up a lot, and her eyes lit up: "Ahhh Do you want to hide that everyone is carrying it alone? ”

Zhang Meina said earnestly: "It's not me who carries it alone, it's someone else's Yuzhu who is carrying it, I'm just helping her on the side." ”

"Can't she really tell her husband the truth?"

"Alas, if she can survive, it's not just Xiao Zhu, even your father has to hide it. Because Xiao Zhu is your father's right-hand man, if Xiao Zhu doesn't go, your father will be even more tired. ”

Nan Jie immediately understood her mother's hard work, and couldn't help moistening her eyes: "Mom, it's really not easy for you." ”

"Which is not easy for me? It's not easy for people to call jade beads. I had to go to her house to see what was going on, and not to alarm them unless I had to. ”

Nan Jie showed a concerned gaze: "Mom, I don't feel at ease when you go out at this time." ”

Zhang Meina smiled indifferently: "I should be able to get a taxi when I go out, and it's an old lady again, who will beat my idea?" I called you out in the hope that you would stabilize your father. ”

"Me? How can I tell him? ”

"Your father is so tired, once he wakes up, it will be dawn, he will definitely be in a hurry to return to the unit, you say I went out to buy sauerkraut, and I want to make dumplings for him. He certainly didn't have time to wait, so he got the matter done. Of course, all of this must be based on the fact that Yuzhu can be safe and sound. ”

Although Nan Jie was a little reluctant, she saw that her mother was really well-intentioned for her father, so she had to tearfully agree.

However, she personally sent Zhang Meina out and watched her board a night taxi before she came back with peace of mind.

When Zhang Meina rushed to Dou Yuzhu's house, she found that she had stopped, but there were still beads of sweat on her forehead that had not disappeared.

Zhang Meina calmed down a little, wiped her sweat, and asked with concern: "Yuzhu, how are you feeling now?"

Dou Yuzhu nodded lightly: "I'm much better, I was really uncomfortable just now." ”

"Are you really alright? Don't you need to go to the hospital? ”

"I'm really fine, don't toss anymore, it's not good if Zhu Xu is alarmed, he may leave the day after tomorrow, if you understand my situation, can you still work steadily?"

Zhang Meina looked at her carefully, and felt that she was really safe, and she still had lingering palpitations: "Yuzhu, you scared me just now." ”

Dou Yuzhu apologized: "I'm really sorry, I know I interrupted the reunion between you and Professor Nan, but I am really not angry, and I have become dependent on you." ”

Zhang Meina hurriedly said: "He and I are old husband and wife, everything doesn't matter." If I help you, I will help him. Because he needs an assistant like Zhu Xu so much. Actually, I have selfish intentions. ”

"Aunt Zhang, don't say that, the Tianyan Project is also Zhu Xu's dream, and I can't let him have lifelong regrets because of myself."

Zhang Meina couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that we as family members should cherish each other." ”

"yes, haven't you always taken care of me like a mother? I've wanted to change my name to 'Mama Zhang'. ”

"Okay, I feel like taking care of you is like taking care of my daughter-in-law Cuiting and daughter Lingling."

"Mother Zhang!"

Dou Yuzhu's eyes were filled with tears, and she stared at Zhang Meina's motherly face with emotion.

Zhang Meina nodded: "Good girl, when I go to work at dawn, I will send you to the hospital for a reexamination." ”

Dou Yuzhu frowned: "If you accompany me like this, what will Professor Nan do?" ”

"Don't worry, my daughter will help me with his perfunctory. Besides, he will rush back to the unit in a hurry, and it is impossible to see me in a hurry and leave later. ”

Dou Yuzhu pondered: "Didn't he go home this time to say goodbye to your whole family?" Could he have come back one more time before he left? ”

Zhang Meina's heart trembled: "He has overcome a lot of difficulties when he goes home this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back." ”

"Shouldn't you say a solemn goodbye?"

Zhang Meina barely held back her tears: "Our family talked enough at the reunion dinner last night, and we have talked about everything that should be explained and what should be instructed, so I don't care about the last form." ”

Dou Yuzhu nodded: "Also, this form can only make people cry." Zhu Xu will definitely go home tomorrow to say goodbye to me, and I am worried that I will not be able to restrain my emotions. You'll have to help me cover it up. ”

Zhang Meina nodded: "I will definitely help you then." ”

Because of her companionship, Dou Yuzhu felt a lot more at ease, and after talking to her, she fell asleep peacefully.

Zhang Meina saw that she was asleep, so she let her tears flow unscrupulously-

She has too many words to tell her wife, but it's a pity that she can't have a chance to say goodbye. However, Yuzhu also thinks about it, if she really says goodbye to him in person, can she still control her tears?

Besides, when Nan Binghuai woke up, it was already more than six o'clock in the morning, and at this time, the east of the night sky had already revealed the white belly of the fish.

When he saw that his wife was not around, he thought that she had gone to the kitchen to get a hot meal, after all, there was a lot left over from last night. When he got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, he found that his daughter was leaning back on the sofa and napping, so he couldn't help but be stunned - why did Lingling sleep outside?

When he walked into the kitchen, it was deserted, and there was no sign of his wife's activities recently. When he looked around again, he had already alarmed Nanjie.

"Daddy up?"

Nan Jie said hello as she stood up and stretched.

Nan Binghuai asked, "Lingling, why are you sleeping in the living room, do you see your mother?" ”

Nan Jie hurriedly covered up: "Oh, I was called out by my mother before I woke up, she said that she went out to buy sauerkraut, let me tell you, and wait for her to come back and make sauerkraut stuffed dumplings for you." ”

Nan Binghuai was shocked, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "What is she busy with this cold morning?" ”

Nan Jie hurriedly defended: "Isn't she here to let you have a farewell meal at home?" ”

"Alas, didn't you have a farewell dinner last night?"

Nan Jie smiled: "It was a reunion dinner last night, and this morning is a candied dinner." As the saying goes, 'the dumplings that send off the guests welcome the face'. ”

"Nonsense!" Nan Binghuai hurriedly corrected his daughter, "That's called 'Dumplings for Welcoming Relatives'!" ”

"Oh, don't care about welcoming relatives or sending off guests, you can eat your favorite sauerkraut stuffed dumplings at home with peace of mind."

Nan Binghuai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How can I have time now?" You must return to the unit immediately. ”

Nan Jie pretended to be surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Nan Binghuai explained: "Actually, I shouldn't have stayed at home last night, just because I came back too late, so I had no choice." Now, some of the colleagues from other places who arrived late last night are going back one after another today, and there are still many private things to explain one by one. ”

"Are you going to leave now?"

"Yes."

"Even if it's too late to eat dumplings, you should always eat something else, right? Shall I go to the kitchen and help you heat up some food? ”

Nan Binghuai waved his hand: "We ate too late last night, do you still have the appetite to eat now?" Besides, I really don't have time. ”

"Oh, haven't you even seen my mother?"

Nan Binghuai's heart sank, and he couldn't help asking, "How long has she been away from home?" ”

Although Nan Jie was reluctant to let her father leave immediately, she didn't dare to keep him, so she lied: "She should have been out for half an hour, right?" ”

Nan Binghuai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I know which morning market she is going to buy sauerkraut." I can't come back for more than an hour, and I can't wait any longer. ”

"Has your unit car come to pick you up?"

"I won't wait for the unit car, I will take a taxi."

Nan Jie's eyes showed reluctance: "Don't you even plan to say goodbye to my brother?" ”

Nan Binghuai had a sour nose and barely controlled his emotions: "Don't disturb them, it was too late to rest last night, let's let them all stop and sleep for a while." ”

Nan Jie had no choice but to say: "Okay... I'll give you one. ”

Nan Binghuai smiled: "Okay, having my baby daughter send me away is enough to make me very happy!" ”
