"Dad, why are you back so early today?" Wu Jiayan turned around, confused.
"I took a leave from work and went to pick up your mother at the station." Wu Xiangdong carried his things into the house.
"My mother?" Wu Jiayan's eyes widened for a moment. He quickly stood up and ran to the door. He saw his mother entering the house after just two steps.
Su Qingyun looked around and saw only a dignified-looking woman. Her skin was a little rough, presumably due to too much wind and sand in the northwest. Her whole body had a calm and comfortable temperament, and she indeed looked like a researcher who was concentrating on research.
She opened her hand to Wu Jiayan and said softly, "Jiayan."
"mom!"
Wu Jiayan threw herself into her arms excitedly and hugged him tightly. Chen Xi also hugged him.
Sure enough, no matter how old they grow, children are always dependent on their mothers.
"Okay, it's almost done." Wu Xiangdong couldn't stand seeing the sticky look of the two of them, "Wu Jiayan, how old are you?"
?"Your aunt and the others are still here."
Wu Jiayan let go of his mother and curled his lips at his father, "What's wrong with me? Dad, you're not any better than me? My mother always has a special car to take her home when she comes back. I don't need you to ask for leave to pick her up at the station. ?”
His father obviously couldn't wait to see his mother, so he asked for leave and ran to the station. How dare he say that to him?
"Wu Jiayan, you kid!" In front of so many people, Wu Xiangdong was troubled and felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll come back once in a while, so you two, father and son, please stop arguing." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Axi is back?" The two people in the kitchen also heard the noise and walked out quickly.
"Mom, I'm back."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Xia Rong repeated the word, her eyes filled with emotion, and she clapped her hand, unable to say anything else.
"Look, who is this?" Xia Rong pointed at Qin Ying and said.
Chen Xi and Qin Ying looked at each other.
She smiled and stretched out her hand with a hearty smile, "Aying, right? I'm Chen Xi."
"Hello, sister-in-law." Qin Ying said quickly.
Chen Xi moved over and looked at Su Aimin and Su Qingyun, "Are you Aimin and Qingyun?"
From the letter sent by Wu Xiangdong, she already knew that Qin Ying and his family had restored contact with them and were in the capital recently.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Su Aimin called after Qin Ying.
Su Qingyun said politely: "Hello, aunt."?
"So good." Chen Xi looked at her well-behaved look and smiled, having a good impression of Su Qingyun.
"Okay, don't stand still, Xiaoxi, go wash up quickly and start eating soon."
Xia Rong urged Chen Xi.
Chen Xi glanced at home, "Isn't dad back yet?"
"No, you don't know that your dad never gets off work a second early." Xia Rong complained, "Let's eat by ourselves without waiting for him."
"How can that be done? We still have to wait?" Chen Xi said with a smile, "Otherwise Dad should say that I rarely come back once, and I don't even wait for him to eat with me when I come back."
"How dare he!" Xia Rong glared angrily.
?Everyone laughed.
A few people were sitting on the sofa chatting. Chen Xi originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but was kicked out.
Qin Ying was also kicked out by Xia Rong, and Wu Xiangdong was called in to help.
"I didn't know that Brother Xiangdong can cook?" Qin Ying was a little surprised.
"What to cook? My dad can only help." Wu Jiayan complained, "No one eats the noodles he makes."
Qin Ying couldn't help but laugh. She just said that in her memory, Brother Xiang Dong seemed to have some grudge against the kitchen, and everything he cooked tasted terrible. Did she just think that his craftsmanship had improved after so many years? It turns out it’s still the same.
She asked Chen Xi again, "Sister-in-law, have you finished your work over there? How long can you stay here this time?"
"Our work has not been completed for one day. It can only be said that we have completed the phased tasks." Chen Xi smiled calmly, "I should be able to stay for half a month this time."
"Half a month?" Wu Jiayan said in surprise, "Really?"
Chen Xi looked at him lovingly, "Really."
She knew that due to the nature of her work, she had less time at home and less time to accompany Jiayan these years. She felt sorry for many people, but she only felt sorry for her husband and son.
"It's really hard work." Qin Ying sighed.
"No matter how hard the work is, someone has to do it." Chen Xi didn't feel bitter, but felt sorry for his family.
She looked at Qin Ying and his wife, "Someone needs to do our work, someone needs to do the teacher's work, and someone needs to do the farmer's work."
"You're right, it's true." Qin Ying said.
"Qingyun? Are you in your second year of high school now?" Chen Xi looked at Su Qingyun again.
"Yes, sophomore year in high school."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know yet." Qin Ying answered truthfully.
"Where is Qingyun, do you have any ideas?" Chen Xi asked Su Qingyun.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Chen Xi nodded, "I haven't thought about it well and I'm not in a hurry. You're still young, so take your time."
"Does Qingyun still need to think about it? There are so many places that want her, and they are even fighting to get her..." Wu Jiayan couldn't help but say something.
Chen Xi was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Mom, don't you know? Didn't my dad tell you on your way back just now?"
"say what?"
Wu Jiayan ran to the cabinet in a few steps, took out the newspaper from the drawer and handed it to his mother, "Mom, look at this."
Chen Xi took it doubtfully and looked at it, "International Mathematics Competition?"
"The winner of the group award...the first prize of the individual award...the perfect score winner Su Qingyun?" Chen Xi raised his head and looked at Su Qingyun with a cute smile.
Is she the person in this newspaper? Is she the one who just won the international mathematics competition? Or even the only perfect score?
When she arrived at the station just now, she heard a few comments from people around her, but she didn't listen carefully and didn't know that the protagonist of their discussion was Su Qingyun in front of her.
Chen Xi looked at the photo again and then asked: "Qingyun, you? This is really amazing."?
She said this sincerely. There were many geniuses in their research institute, but people like Su Qingyun, who could win the championship of international competitions in his teens, were as rare as water chestnuts.
This little girl looked so gentle and quiet, it was really incredible.
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Qingyun thanked her.
"Have you just come back from abroad?"
Qin Ying nodded, "Yes, I just arrived in the morning."
"Then you must be very busy back here, right? Various awards interviews and so on." Chen Xi knows these things very well.
"No, there's going to be a commendation meeting the day after tomorrow." Qin Yingying said with a hint of pride.
"very nice."
Chen Xi looked at Su Qingyun with a change in his eyes. Such talent and personality are really suitable for research. ?
