Seeing that the old man had stopped coughing, the man took the enamel pot on the table and glanced at him nonchalantly, but he was extremely careful and gentle as he fed him water spoon by spoon.
Finally, she took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her pocket and wiped his mouth.
After drinking half a cup of water, the old man felt his throat better.
He coughed lightly and cleared his throat. "Why did you come here in person? Have you made any progress on the project you're working on?"
The man seemed not to hear and ignored his question.
He couldn't say that he left a note for the Security Department and asked them to pass it on to the higher-ups, and then he ran away without asking for permission!
He looked up at the IV bottle above his head and changed the subject abruptly.
"Old man, you haven't eaten for a whole day and night. Are you hungry? I asked the lady in the cafeteria to stew some chicken for you. You should be better now. But the doctor said you can't eat until you have enough gas."
She winked at him and looked at his stomach with a smirk, "How about it, do you feel it now?"
"You kid! You're almost thirty, and you're still so unruly!"
The old man shook his head and looked at him helplessly, "If it weren't for this face that's still decent, I'd be worried that you wouldn't be able to find a wife!"
Hearing the old man suddenly bring up this topic, the man's eyes froze for a moment, then he shook his head and chuckled, his tone full of disdain.
"You're really worrying about the wrong thing!"
"What? From the sound of it, you mean you have a partner?"
The old man's eyes swept across his face, with an expression of curiosity and disbelief.
"Look, look, your old way of thinking needs to be expanded, right?
How could no one be interested in your disciple, a handsome, talented, brave, and outstanding young man like me?
When I say you're worrying about the wrong thing, I mean you shouldn't be worrying about me. You should be worrying about those women at the base who have their eyes on me. They're giving me the creeps all the time! Not everyone can dream of being your apprentice."
“You…Hey!”
The old man was completely speechless by his brazen theory!
However, he really couldn't deny this! This kid was really lucky with women!
Especially those unmarried girls in the base logistics, when they saw him, they were like wolves seeing lambs, their eyes were so bright that they could be used as flashlights.
When I go to the cafeteria with this guy to get food, I can get an extra spoonful of delicious vegetables and meat than usual.
He couldn't remember how many times he had been inexplicably called to his office by shy little girls. When he asked them, he found out that they wanted him to help find a match for the boy.
Naturally, the boy rejected them all! He even gave him three rules: if he tried to be a matchmaker for him again, he would break off all ties with him!
"Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore! What's going on with Wang Changgang? Didn't you notice anything before?"
Thinking back to the moment when he received the call from the hospital, and thinking about how the old man was almost killed, his heart still couldn't help but twitch.
Over the years, the old man has long been more than just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship to him.
It can be said that without the old man, he would not have embarked on the path of scientific research, let alone achieved his current achievements and status.
He still remembers the summer day when he ran into the old man, which was also the first lesson the old man taught him.
He was only six or seven years old that year, and because of the famine, life in the city was not easy.
He, Lei Zi and several other children of the same age in the yard were all naughty. They would always sneak away to the nearby mountains while their parents were at work.
If you are lucky, you can shoot a bird or get some bird eggs or silkworm pupae.
Of course, most of the time we are not so lucky. After all, the lives of the nearby villagers are even worse. The bark of the trees in the mountains has been almost stripped off by them!
That day, the three friends came out early in the morning, full of expectations, thinking that they would gain a lot today.
But when the sun was high above their heads, they still found nothing. Not even a single wild fruit!
They were all so hungry that they felt dizzy and dazed, like deflated balls, unable to even stand up straight! Holding their empty bellies, they walked down the mountain dejectedly.
But just as they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Linzi, who was traveling with them, suddenly stumbled, his eyes rolled back, and he fell down limply.
This sudden change really scared them!
He still remembers clearly that Lei Zi's face turned green with fear!
Of course, he himself is not much better, but he just can't see it.
It was noon, and everything was quiet. There was not a single person in sight. They did not dare to leave too far, so they could only shout and scream at the top of their lungs, hoping to get an adult to come and help them.
Just when they were at a loss, a jeep passed by the foot of the mountain. Perhaps they heard their cries for help, and two men got out of the car. One was the driver and the other was the old man!
The old man's hair was not so white at that time. When he saw Xiao Linzi lying on the ground, he quickly walked to them and squatted down. He rolled his eyelids and touched his wrist. He quickly checked Xiao Linzi's condition and concluded that he had heatstroke!
He took out a kettle from the car and fed Xiao Linzi water, then soaked a towel in water to cool him down, then took them to a cool place and massaged Xiao Linzi's acupoints until he slowly woke up.
Hearing their stomachs growling with hunger, I asked the driver to take down all the dry food they brought with them. Under the shade of the trees in summer, I had a lunch with them, which was considered very satisfying at that time.
During the period, he told them a lot of basic knowledge about wilderness first aid, and finally asked about their hobbies.
At that time, his biggest hobby was to have a full meal, so he would never think about anything else!
After dinner, just when they thought he was leaving, they saw him rummaging through the car, taking out a screwdriver and some wire, and removing the batteries from the flashlight. Then he went for a walk in the nearby woods and brought back some pieces of bark.
Then, as they stared in confusion, he deftly used his fingers to create a small fan that would rotate on its own, like magic.
Feeling the gentle breeze brought by the small fan, he realized the power of knowledge so intuitively for the first time!
It was also from that time that the old man began a correspondence teaching relationship with him that lasted for many years.
It was the old man's guidance and encouragement that made him discover his love for scientific research and ignited the fire in his heart.
It was with the old man's companionship and guidance that he persevered in the tedious life of Northwest China. Through continuous efforts and exploration, he overcame one scientific research problem after another.
It can be said that the old man has been his spiritual pillar over the years.
He couldn't even imagine what would become of the old man if something really happened to him.
"Ah!" The old man sighed, "People's hearts are hard to predict! However, this should be considered a good thing for us! At least we eliminated the hidden danger in advance and did not cause greater losses! It's hard to imagine if he succeeded..."
