Liu Xiaoguang didn't understand this truth, but the sadness in his heart was difficult to dispel, how could it be relieved just by the price of insomnia?

He hesitated, but insisted on going.

"Brother Xiaoguang, you?"

Liu Xiaoguang turned his head slowly: "I want to go out for a walk, and I won't disturb others." ”

Li Mengmeng didn't say a word, and also put on a coat.

"Moe?"

"Brother Xiaoguang, I'll accompany you."

Liu Xiaoguang knew that although she had been suffering for a long time and had been relieved a lot, her current mood was not better than her own, so she nodded at her.

At this moment, the night sky of the living area is bright, and because the construction team is moving outward, the population here is already very small, and the lights are much sparser than during the densely populated period. However, there was a dazzling light coming from the direction where the eye of heaven stood not far away, and it was the light from the lights on several steel towers.

Only the technicians of the project department still stick to the living area. Some of them will not leave because of the completion of the Sky Eye, but will live here for a long time, participate in the commissioning work of the Sky Eye, and participate in scientific research.

Liu Xiaoguang wandered on the streets of the living area accompanied by Li Mengmeng, and in the case of silence, he turned his eyes to the lights from the direction of the eye of the sky, recalling the hard work in the past few years and the figure of Nan Binghuai's shuttle, and couldn't help but cry.

Li Mengmeng read his psychology and couldn't help but persuade: "Brother Xiaoguang, if the eye project is finally completed today, you should be happy, this is not only for your own efforts, but also for Uncle Nan's dream, and for our country to have this super heavy weapon." ”

Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, of course I'm happy for this Tianyan, but I feel sorry for Professor Nan, I didn't expect his life to come to an end because of the completion of Tianyan." ”

Li Mengmeng has seen a little more because she has endured it for a long time, so she said: "Uncle Nan has no regrets, and it is not a success to be able to witness the realization of his dreams in his lifetime." This is not something that ordinary people can do. He could have left with a sense of pride. ”

Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but stare in the direction of the eye of the sky, although it was blocked by the mountains and could not see its outline, but the light emitted by the lamp attached to it was like the setting sun and formed an artificial sunset.

He stared at it for a moment, and couldn't help but say emotionally, "Professor Nan will never leave me, because he has integrated his soul into the world's largest 'cauldron'. ”

Li Mengmeng couldn't help but say emotionally: "Yes, Uncle Nan seems to have been born for it, and it is Uncle Nan who has left eternal wealth for this world." ”

Liu Xiaoguang pondered for a long time before taking a deep breath and hugging his beloved wife's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go back to sleep!" ”

Li Mengmeng was stunned: "Did you come out?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang stared at his beloved wife with deep eyes: "Mengmeng, what you just said convinced me." For Professor Nan, there are no regrets in life, and the next thing is to enjoy the rest of the time. Therefore, we cannot spend it with him with a sad face, but pay tribute to this father of the eye of heaven with a gesture of reverence! Let him earn all respect. ”

Li Mengmeng's eyes lit up: "Yes, although he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he will be very pleased when his efforts are recognized by the world." ”

"Well, I'll discuss it with Mr. Li tomorrow."

When they returned to their home, Li Mengmeng couldn't help asking, "How should his other relatives be notified?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang's expression became entangled again: "I should let my wife know." But I could only tell her by phone, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to help her if she couldn't bear it. ”

Li Mengmeng shook her head: "No, don't say it on the phone, you have to be by her side." ”

"Are we going to go back to Northern Qi?"

"No, we can entrust an acquaintance from Northern Qi to tell her."

"An acquaintance of Northern Qi?"

"Yes, he must be our trusted person, and he must be familiar with Aunt Zhang."

Liu Xiaoguang was a little confused: "Who could this be?" ”

Li Mengmeng blinked her eyes wide: "Have you forgotten Shuyun?" ”

"Shuyun?" When Liu Xiaoguang thought of his ex-wife, he suddenly realized, "Yes, Shuyun has also been to Professor Nan's house." ”

"Well, shall we entrust this matter to Shuyun?"

Liu Xiaoguang has no worries about his ex-wife at this time: "Okay." The two of you usually contact each other, it's up to you to beg her. ”

"No problem. I'll call her tomorrow morning. ”

The next day, Liu Xiaoguang went straight to Li Dequan's office.

Li Dequan had just gone to work, and when he saw him pushing the door in, his face was tired, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Liu Gong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Although Liu Xiaoguang saw it, he still couldn't hide the grief in his heart when he wanted to report such bad news to his superiors: "Mr. Li... I'm going to have bad news for you. ”

Li Dequan's heart tightened: "Did you find that our Tianyan has a technical problem?" ”

"It's related to the Heavenly Eye, but it's not the Heavenly Eye, but its creator, Professor Nan, has something."

"Old Nan? What happened to him?? ”

"He's having a big problem with his body."

Li Dequan's expression changed suddenly: "What's wrong with his body?" Please speak quickly! ”

"Mr. Li, you must calm down."

Li Dequan realized that he was a little out of shape, and even his voice was a little out of tune, so he had to calm down his emotions: "Okay, what's wrong with his body, please tell me directly." ”

"He... When he went to the provincial hospital for a check-up last year, he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. For the past year, he has been dragging his terminally ill body to fight. ”

Although Li Dequan was mentally prepared, hearing these words still made him tremble, and he had to hold on to the corner of the table, and at the same time there was a heart-wrenching pain, which was reflected in his expression.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Li has to hold on." We can't afford to mess around at this time. ”

Li Dequan reluctantly suppressed his anxiety: "How do you know?" ”

"It was Meng Meng who told me."

"Could it be that Meng Meng hid the truth for him?"

Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly excused his beloved wife: "When he was in the provincial capital, Professor Nan concealed everyone, and with the cooperation of the hospital, he revised the inspection report. Meng Meng only found out later. ”

Li Dequan felt incredible: "The hospital actually helped him fake his condition? Don't they know it's illegal? I think they're crazy! ”

"They are not crazy, but out of respect for Professor Nan."

"It's just nonsense!" Li Dequan looked disappreciative, "Could it be that Professor Nan pleaded with them, so that they could be uneasy about their principles?" ”

"Professor Nan, of course people know that tampering with inspection reports is against the principles, but the principles are also formulated by people, and when the so-called principles are in the face of national interests and the general interests of the nation, there are times when it is necessary to make concessions."

"You... Why do you help the hospital speak? ”

"Mr. Li, it's not that I want to speak for that hospital, if you understand the stakes, you will also understand what others do."

"Oh, why is that?"

"Think about it, if we had known this truth in the first place, what would it mean to Professor Nan and the Tianyan Project now?"

Li Dequan couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Liu Xiaoguang had no choice but to ask himself: "The result is that Professor Nan regrets for life because he cannot participate in this project, and the loss caused by this great project is immeasurable." ”

Li Dequan's legs were weak, and he sat on the chair with his buttocks, but he looked at Liu Xiaoguang who was defending with a questioning look: "According to what you say, everyone who deliberately conceals this matter has merit?" ”

"Mr. Li, if you analyze the results, it should be like this. Although Meng Meng later learned the truth, the reason why she continued this lie was not Professor Nan's bitter plea, but also out of a sense of responsibility. ”

"Okay, as long as what you say makes sense, let's not chase Meng Meng's responsibility. But how do we deal with this now? ”

Liu Xiaoguang pondered: "What we have to do now is to pay tribute to his old man, instead of any complaints, and let him finish his last years with a sense of relief." ”

Li Dequan felt that his words made sense, so he nodded: "Yes, if you complain, you can't undo all this, but it will put a shadow in his heart." ”

Liu Xiaoguang's nose was sour: "We are really negligent, we should have noticed that his recent situation was not quite right." ”

Li Dequan's eyes couldn't help but moisten: "Alas, I didn't take good care of him... I can't explain it to the superior organization! ”

Liu Xiaoguang's eyes were moist all the time, and when he saw Li Dequan getting excited, he hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Li, you are our backbone now, don't be emotional, now we only respect Professor Nan's wishes, which is the best consolation for him, and at the same time, we are also in awe of that heavenly eye." ”

Li Dequan nodded: "I listen to you." Lao Nan has paid too much for the Tianyan project, and it is time for us to do something for him. ”

Besides, as soon as Li Mengmeng waited for her husband to leave the house, she immediately dialed Xiao Shuyun's mobile phone-

At this moment, Xiao Shuyun had just woken up, and before she got out of bed, she dressed her child. In a flash, she and Zhou Kejin have been married for more than three years, and their children have been more than two weeks. The little guy is very naughty, and he doesn't deserve to dress him with his mother, which makes Xiao Shuyun a little scrambling.

When the mobile phone rang, Xiao Shuyun had no choice but to put the child aside, let him lie back in the bed, and the mobile phone herself.

When she saw that it was Li Mengmeng's call, her brows suddenly stretched, and she hurriedly signaled to the child: "Baby, Aunt Mengmeng's phone, come and say a word to her." It turned out that this child was quite familiar with Li Mengmeng.

The child is somewhat willful and lies in bed indifferently.

Xiao Shuyun shook her head helplessly, so she had to answer the phone: "Hey, it's early to be cute." ”

Li Mengmeng's voice was very heavy: "Has Sister Shuyun gotten up?" ”

"I've woken up, but I'm getting out of bed yet, and I'm dressing the child."

"Oh, is the kid awake?"

"I woke him up, but he hadn't slept enough and didn't want to get up."

"Then you can let the child sleep a little longer."

"What's the line? Kejin and I are about to go to work, and we have to send him to nursery. ”

"Oh, where's my brother-in-law?"

"He's already up and going to the kitchen to get early."

"Oh, he's still so diligent, and he's taking good care of you."

Xiao Shuyun's cheeks burned, and she quickly changed the topic: "You couldn't call so early to say hello, right?" ”

"Of course not. I have a very urgent matter at the moment, and I hope you can help me. ”

When Xiao Shuyun heard her tone was very solemn, she couldn't help frowning: "Is there something wrong with your mother?" ”

"No, it's not about my mom."

"Since it has nothing to do with your mother, what is it about the urgency that makes you so nervous?"

"I... I want you to visit Aunt Zhang. ”

Xiao Shuyun was suddenly blindfolded: "Aunt Zhang... Who is Aunt Zhang? ”

"Aunt Zhang is Uncle Nan's wife."

"Oh, so you're talking about Mrs. Zhang."

"Yes, I know you know her well, so please go meet her."

"Isn't she in good health?"

"It's not. Her old man's body is still okay. I ask you to tell her something. ”

"Tell me something? Can't you tell her on the phone? ”

"No, I can't. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it..."

Xiao Shuyun's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but lose her voice: "Could it be... Could it be that Professor Nan had an accident? ”

"Sister Shuyun... It's not an accident... It's something that has been hidden for a long time... Now I must tell her the truth..."

Xiao Shuyun choked up when she heard the other party's voice, and couldn't help but sink in her heart: "Could it be that he has been gone for a long time?" ”

"It's not! He's still alive... It's just that I'm terminally ill... He was diagnosed with lung cancer very early... But I've been hiding it from everyone... I'm afraid it's not going to be a while..."

"What?" Xiao Shuyun almost jumped up from the bed, "Did you ask me to tell this bad news to Mrs. Nan cruelly?" ”

"Sister Shuyun... I'm really sorry... For her old man had an accident... I'll have to entrust it to you..."

Xiao Shuyun's heart was like a knife, and she couldn't bear to refuse the other party's plea, so she had to grit her teeth and agree: "Mengmeng, don't be sad, I'll go!" ”
