"Dad, why did you come back so early today?" Wu Jiayan turned around, puzzled.
"I asked for leave from work and went to the station to pick up your mother." Wu Xiangdong walked into the house carrying something.
"My mother?" Wu Jiayan's eyes widened instantly. He quickly stood up and ran to the door. After taking two steps, he saw his mother enter the house.
Su Qingyun took a look and saw only a dignified and elegant woman. Her skin was a little rough, probably because of the excessive wind and sand from the northwest. She had a calm and comfortable temperament and looked like a researcher who was devoted to research.
She opened her arms towards Wu Jiayan and said softly, "Jiayan."
"mom!"
Wu Jiayan excitedly threw himself into her arms and hugged him tightly, and Chen Xi also hugged him.
Sure enough, no matter how old they are, children are dependent on their mothers.
"That's enough." Wu Xiangdong couldn't stand the sight of the two of them being so clingy. "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 much better than me. My mom always has a special car to take her home. Why would you need to take time off to pick her up at the station?"
His father obviously couldn't wait to see his mother, so he took leave and went to the station. How dare you talk to him about it?
"Wu Jiayan, you kid!" In front of so many people, Wu Xiangdong felt a little embarrassed because his secrets were exposed.
"Okay, it's rare for me to come back, so you two should stop arguing." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Axi is back?" The two people in the kitchen also heard the noise and hurried out.
"Mom, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Xia Rong repeated the word, her eyes full of emotion, clapped her hands, and couldn't say anything else.
"Look quickly, who is this?" Xia Rong pointed at Qin Ying and said.
Chen Xi and Qin Ying met eyes.
She smiled and extended her hand, her smile bright and cheerful, "Aying, right? I'm Chen Xi."
"Hello, sister-in-law." Qin Ying said hurriedly.
Chen Xi moved over and looked at Su Aimin and Su Qingyun. "You are Aimin and Qingyun, right?"
She had already learned from the letter Wu Xiangdong sent that Qin Ying and her family had resumed contact with them and were recently in Beijing.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Su Aimin followed Qin Ying and called out.
Su Qingyun said politely, "Hello, Auntie."
"So good." Chen Xi smiled as he looked at her well-behaved appearance. He had a good impression of Su Qingyun.
"Okay, stop standing there, Xiaoxi. Go wash up quickly. It's time for dinner."
Xia Rong urged Chen Xi.
Chen Xi glanced at the house and asked, "Is Dad not back yet?"
"No, you know your dad is the type who never leaves work early." Xia Rong complained, "Let's eat by ourselves and not wait for him."
"How can that be? We still have to wait?" Chen Xi said with a smile, "Otherwise, Dad will say that I rarely come home and I didn't even wait for him to eat with me when I came back."
"He dares!" Xia Rong glared.
?Everyone laughed.
Several people were sitting on the sofa chatting. Chen Xi wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but was kicked out.
Qin Ying was also driven out by Xia Rong, and Wu Xiangdong was called in to help.
"I didn't know Brother Xiangdong could cook?" Qin Ying was a little surprised.
"What to cook? My dad can only help out." Wu Jiayan complained, "No one eats the noodles he makes."
Qin Ying couldn't help laughing. She said, in her memory, Brother Xiangdong seemed to have some grudge against the kitchen. Everything he cooked tasted terrible. She had just thought that after so many years, his cooking skills had improved, but it turned out to be the same.
She asked Chen Xi again, "Sister-in-law, are you done with your work over there? How long can you stay this time?"
"Our work is never finished. We can only say that we have completed phased tasks." Chen Xi smiled calmly. "I should be able to stay for half a month this time."
"Half a month?" Wu Jiayan asked in surprise, "Really?"
Chen Xi looked at him lovingly and said, "Really."
She knew that because of the nature of her work, she had spent less time at home in recent years and even less time with Jiayan. She felt sorry for many people, but she was not the only one who 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 it was hard, he just felt sorry for his family.
She looked at Qin Ying and his wife and said, "Our work needs someone to do it, the teachers' work needs someone to do it, and the farmers' work needs someone to do it too."
"That's right, that's indeed the case." Qin Ying said.
"Qingyun? Are you in the second year of high school now?" Chen Xi looked at Su Qingyun again.
"Yes, sophomore year."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know yet." Qin Ying answered truthfully.
"What about Qingyun? Do you have any ideas?" Chen Xi asked Su Qingyun.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Chen Xi nodded. "Don't worry if you haven't thought it through yet. You're still young, so take your time."
"Does Qingyun still need to think about her? There are so many places that want her, and they are even fighting for her..." Wu Jiayan couldn't help but say.
Chen Xi was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Mom, don't you know? Didn't my dad tell you on the way back just now?"
"say what?"
Wu Jiayan quickly ran to the cabinet, took out a newspaper from the drawer and handed it to his mother, "Mom, look at this."
Chen Xi took it with a puzzled look and said, "International Mathematics Competition?"
"The team champion... the first prize in the individual award... and the full score winner, Su Qingyun?" Chen Xi raised his head and looked at Su Qingyun in astonishment, who had a well-behaved smile.
Is she the one in the newspaper? Is she the one who just won the International Mathematics Competition? And even the only one to get a perfect score?
When she arrived at the station just now, she heard some people around her talking, 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 before asking, "Qingyun, you... this is really amazing."
She meant what she said. There were many geniuses in their institute, but someone like Su Qingyun, who could win an international championship in his teens, was extremely rare.
This seemingly quiet little girl is really amazing.
"Thank you, auntie." Su Qingyun thanked her.
"?Have you just returned from abroad?"
Qin Ying nodded, "Yes, I just arrived this morning."
"Then you must be very busy this time, right? Various award interviews and so on." Chen Xi knew all about this.
"That's right. There will be a commendation meeting the day after tomorrow." Qin Yingyu's tone was slightly proud.
"very nice."
Chen Xi's eyes changed as he looked at Su Qingyun. With such talent and personality, he was truly perfect for research.
