When Nuan Bao was mentioned to the height that he cared about most, his smiling face disappeared in a second.
"Qin Zheng, you're only a few years old, why are your eyesight not so good? I went to the kang cabinet when you left, and I'm still here now. Tell me, is it your eyesight that's not good, or has the kang cabinet in my house grown taller as well?"
Qin Zheng didn't expect that his first words would hit a nerve, so he quickly apologized.
Because Nuanbao was still worried about Nuanba's affairs, she did not make things difficult for Qin Zheng and told him about Nuanba's affairs in a few words.
"Uncle San is obviously in trouble. Don't worry, I happen to be going there to pick up some research materials in the next few days, so I can go over and take a look."
"Really? That's great. You don't know, because of my dad's situation, the most we hear in our family now is sighs, which makes me irritable every day. By the way, the summer holidays are coming soon, can you guys have a holiday?"
Qin Zheng didn't know whether he could get a holiday or not, but seeing how those professors worked day and night, he thought it might be very difficult.
He thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
"I should be able to take a vacation. I'm almost done with the work I have on hand. I think I can rest for a few days. If the rest time is long, I will go back to see you and Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu."
When Nuanbao heard that Qin Zheng might come back, her little face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Ah! That's great. I've prepared a lot of goodies for you, diagnostic equipment, computer equipment, everything you need."
Seeing that Nuanbao still cared about him so much after he left, Qin Zheng's smile grew even bigger.
"Thank you so much, Nuanbao. If you have any gifts you want, I'll bring them to you when the time comes."
"Gift, then, when you come, buy me a bunch of candied haws! Mom's been watching me so much lately that I can't even eat my favorite candied haws."
Nuanbao pouted with a look of resentment on his face.
Qin Zheng looked at Nuan Bao's row of small teeth and almost guessed why Nuan's mother didn't let her eat candied haws.
However, since the little girl rarely asks for anything from me, I have to satisfy her no matter what. At worst, I can just work a few night shifts when I get back in the next few days.
The two of them kept chatting until the professor came to call them, and Qin Zheng was reluctant to hang up his first video chat with Nuanbao.
Several professors clearly felt that Qin Zheng had worked even harder since returning to work. Formulas that used to take him three hours to calculate and work out now took him only half the time.
The old professors looked at Qin Zheng like this, and they couldn't help but sigh in awe.
Unfortunately, their sigh didn't last long. The next day, when they climbed up from their desks, they discovered that Qin Zheng had already left the institute. The senior professors, watching their experiment, now stuck at a critical juncture and unable to proceed without Qin Zheng, were furious and beat their chests.
Qin Zheng didn't care about the professors' anger and annoyance. At this moment, he was escorted by two clerks from the special department and boarded the train to Nuan's father's place.
The two-day and one-night drive ended quickly, and Qin Zheng took the clerk directly to the farm where Ni was.
After making inquiries from many sources, Qin Zheng discovered that Nuan's father had indeed been to the farm, but he suddenly disappeared a week ago. The people on the farm had always thought that Nuan's father had gone home.
Qin Zheng didn't get any useful information from the common people, so he had to go find the key person, Ni. But when he got there, he found only the mother and son who wrote to the Liu family, but no Ni at all.
When the mother and daughter heard that Qin Zheng was from Ni's family, they burst into tears.
