Chuxia and Cen Huaian returned to the capital. Jiang Zhida and Zhang Lu came to pick them up and took them directly to the entertainment venue. It
was completely different from the dirty and messy house that looked like a run-down building last time. The gate was magnificent and magnificent, with three big characters written on it in a grand manner - Yunmengze. There were a few small characters below, "Entertainment World".
Chuxia did not participate in the naming of Yunmengze. She knew that Jiang Zhida went to Jiang's grandfather to pick the name.
Seeing this name, Chuxia smiled and said, "It's very suitable, a beautiful and dreamy world."
Jiang Zhida smiled and snapped his fingers. The gate opened in response. A row of beautiful boys and girls in uniform stood in two rows, making a welcoming gesture and looking at Chuxia and her group with a smile.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to Yunmengze!"
Chu Xia couldn't help but want to cover her face and step back. Fortunately, they didn't shout "Welcome Miss home!"
Otherwise, she would feel more embarrassed. This kind of scene happened in TV dramas, and she never thought she could experience it in reality.
Cen Huaian also looked at the group of people with confusion in his eyes.
"Cousin, do you like my welcome ceremony?"
Jiang Zhida looked like he was asking for credit, and obviously thought his idea was great.
Chuxia endured the embarrassment and nodded: "That's good, don't do it next time. Let them go back to work."
"Cousin, let me tell you, all of us are trained according to the methods you said, and every customer who comes to Yunmengze likes it."
Jiang Zhida waved his hand, asked the waiters at the door to leave, and took Chuxia and the others inside, with a proud look on his face, and the momentum of his walk was different.
"No one doesn't like the feeling of being at home, and no one doesn't like being treated like a god."
The concept of service has not yet been formed. Before, in the supply and marketing cooperative department store, the sales clerks' eyes were in the sky, and people naturally preferred warm and considerate service. When
Chu Xia and Cen Huaian walked in, they were instantly shocked by the decoration of Yunmengze.
When deciding on the decoration style, Chu Xia disagreed with the style that was very much like an entertainment venue, so Yunmengze went for a low-key, luxurious and dreamy decoration.
After entering, you will be shocked at first sight: how can there be such a beautiful place. Soon, you will be led by the waiter and fall in love with the various entertainment activities inside, which are easy to get addicted to.
But the entertainment venue itself is a place for people to relax. Yunmengze has no smoky miasma, only happiness and dreams, which is more perfect than the structures that Chu Xia imagined. There are
small bridges, flowing water, and clouds and mist. Each entertainment room is different, but they can all be connected to the whole.
Chu Xia and Cen Huaian walked to the ice rink. The scene here was a bit wild, with all kinds of lights on and exciting music playing. It was a different experience from when they first entered Yunmengze.
At this time, there were a lot of people skating inside, and there was a staff member watching not far away to prevent accidents on the skating rink. Most
of the skaters are young people, who are prone to bumping into things and getting into conflicts with others. Yunmengze is a business, and such things must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily affect the creatures in Yunmengze.
"An An! I like this skating rink so much, do you want to go in and play!"
Zhang Lu's eyes lit up when he saw the skating rink, and he looked like he wanted to enter.
Cen Huaian looked at Chu Xia.
Chuxia patted his head: "If you want to play, go ahead."
"Yes!" Jiang Zhida waved his hand generously: "Don't be restrained here with your uncle, just have fun! Cousin, are you going?"
"Yes!"
Chuxia and An'an had eaten on the plane and had been on the bus all the way. Now they didn't feel hungry or tired.
Jiang Zhida called the staff to find new shoes for Chuxia and An'an.
"I will have someone store and clean your shoes separately in the future to ensure they are clean." The same was true for Zhang Lu, Jiang Weixian and others.
The skates of other guests will also be cleaned and repaired in unison to prevent any problems with the shoes from causing injuries to the guests.
"Thank you, Dazi, you are very thoughtful."
Jiang Zhida leaned on the railing of the skating rink and said casually, "Isn't this what I should do? Cousin, you are also a shareholder of Yunmengze, feel free to enjoy it boldly."
Chuxia changed her shoes and stood up, smiling at Jiang Zhida, "Then An'an and I must experience it well."
After that, she skated directly into the skating rink. Cen Huaian and Zhang Lu also skated in excitedly. Jiang Weixi was taken to play by a staff member.
She heard that her uncle was coming to pick up Chuxia and An'an, so she wanted to follow. Jiang Zhida helped to talk and brought her along.
Jiang Weixian didn't follow this time. He has been to Grandpa Jiang's house less frequently recently.
Jiang Zhida didn't go skating, he needed to watch the rink, so he leaned on the railing of the skating rink with his hands, looking at the children on the rink with a rogue smile on his face.
Chuxia just wanted to satisfy her skating addiction, so she skated very fast at the beginning. There are wave bridges and high platforms on the skating rink, and these beginners dare not go up.
Chuxia likes it. She went on all the facilities on the skating rink to feel it, and she felt refreshed. She likes this feeling of letting herself go.
Zhang Lu, like Chuxia, also likes those exciting projects and laughed a lot. Cen Huaian just skated around by himself to empty his mind.
Jiang Weixi didn't know how to skate yet, so he was led by the staff to play. Seeing Chuxia and the others having so much fun in the rink, he was anxious to go in.
However, the staff strictly abided by the boss's words. They kept their eyes on her and took her skating, but they didn't let her go into the inner circle.
Many people on the skating rink are young people dressed in fashionable clothes. They sway their bodies to the music, and their eyes are focused on the eye-catching people.
Chuxia's hair is combed high today. She is wearing a pair of flared jeans and a long black coat. She looks cool and elegant, which doesn't match the loose atmosphere of the skating rink.
But she took off her coat and put on a short black leather jacket. When she was skating on the rink, her charm was everywhere.
Especially when she was playing those exciting facilities just now, as long as someone looked at her, their eyes couldn't leave her.
It's not just the dress, but also Chuxia's temperament and outstanding appearance that are different from others.
Jiang Zhida stood outside the venue and saw that many men's eyes were on Chu Xia. He signaled to the staff.
This was his cousin's wife. If his second cousin knew that Chu Xia was being flirted with by other men in Yunmengze, he would be severely beaten by his cousin.
Jiang Zhida knew how Cen Zhengnian treated Chuxia. He was disgusted by the sight of that greasy and crooked girl at Grandpa Jiang's house.
Chuxia stopped, tidied her hair that was messed up by the wind, panted, and was about to go outside to rest and have a drink.
A young man in a brown leather jacket skated in front of her: "Hi! Beauty, let me meet you! I..."
Before he finished speaking, Chuxia waved her hand to refuse: "Sorry, I'm married and don't want to meet you."
Chuxia turned around and skated out. The man's face changed and he reached out to grab her: "Beauty, don't go! Let's skate together. If you refuse, find a good reason. You..."
"Bang!" Before the man's hand touched Chuxia, he was kicked hard on the butt by a foot and fell on the skating rink.
The brothers who followed the man and the people watching all laughed. The man's falling posture was really funny.
"Who! Who kicked me!"
The man was furious, his face flushed red.
At this time, the staff and Jiang Zhida who didn't have time to rush over came in.
The other staff dispersed to watch the lively audience, while Chu Xia hugged Cen Huaian who kicked the man and said, "My son kicked him, what do you want to do."
The man sat on the ground and looked at the two in shock, his face pale and red, and he was very angry.
"Fuck you..." He failed to get to know the beauty, and lost face, and he cursed Chu Xia and Cen Huaian directly.
"Stinky..., do you know who my brother is? He's the boss of Yunmengze! You're done!"
"Take him away."
Jiang Zhida had already rushed over, frowning and looking at the man with anger in his eyes.
The man struggled desperately, still scolding Jiang Zhida and Chuxia. Jiang Zhida's eyebrows wrinkled even tighter, and his aura became very scary. His previous nonchalant attitude was completely gone: "Shut his mouth. By the way, I'm also the boss of Yunmengze. Tell me who your brother is later?"
After the staff took the man away, Jiang Zhida hurriedly asked Chuxia and Anan if they were okay.
Zhang Lu just slid to their side, looking like he was protecting Chuxia and Anan.
"We're fine."
Jiang Zhida felt bad: "Nothing like this usually happens at the skating rink."
There were also people who tried to flirt with her, but when they were rejected, they just smiled and walked away. No one tried to pull her away like the young man just now.
Chuxia shook her head: "It's okay. There are always men as pretentious and uncultured as the one just now."
Cen Huaian's face was tightly knitted and he was still angry. If Chuxia hadn't pulled him away, he would have beaten the man when he was cursing.
"Mom, you should have let me beat him up." Cen Huaian said, with a bit of anger in his eyes.
"There's no need to dirty your hands for such a scumbag, and the skating rink is slippery. Even if you know martial arts, when you hit him, a grown man fighting may hurt yourself. If you want to vent your anger, there are other ways."
Because the previous episode did bring a bad experience to some people on the skating rink, Jiang Zhida took the microphone and shouted: "In order to compensate today's guests, everyone can get a free drink and snack at the workbench later!"
Yun Mengze's drinks and snacks are sold and made by himself. The chef's own drinks are very expensive, but the taste is particularly good. Many people like them but dare not buy them often.
Today, they are given away for free. The young people on the skating rink instantly howled with excitement and hurried to get drinks and snacks.
As for the man who was just taken away: he deserved it, who asked him to flirt with her and he has no manners at all.
After what happened in early summer, they were no longer in the mood to skate, so they changed their shoes and left. Jiang Weixi just wanted to come over to help her aunt and brother, but was stopped by the staff.
She was too young and it would be easy to get hurt if she ran over.
At this moment, she raised her fist in front of Chuxia and An'an, and said angrily: "Auntie, Xixi helped you beat the bad guys!"
Chuxia laughed when she heard her cute words, and rubbed her little face: "Thank you, Xixi, the bad guys have been beaten away by your uncle."
Jiang Weixi hugged Chuxia, patted her back with her little fleshy hands and said: "Don't be afraid, auntie, Xixi will protect you."
Chuxia was so soft-hearted by her hug, and with the protection of Cen Huaian and Zhang Lu just now, she was not scared, and now she is still very warm in her heart.
"Xixi is great!"
Cen Huaian and Zhang Lu also praised her, because Jiang Weixi, the little happy fruit, was there, and the bad atmosphere caused by that man just now was also slowly disappearing.
Jiang Zhida took Chuxia and the others to a chess room with a billiard table. It was a large private room with all kinds of entertainment items in Yunmengze. They could play as they pleased.
"Cousin, An'an, I'm going to deal with the scumbag. You guys can play here. If you want to eat or drink something, just tell the waiter at the door."
"Okay."
Cen Huaian stood up, took Jiang Zhida's arm and said, "Uncle, I want to go with you."
Jiang Zhida glanced at Chuxia, who nodded, "Let him go."
Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixi also wanted to go, but they were rejected by Jiang Zhida.
Chuxia knew Cen Huaian's personality. If he didn't see how Jiang Zhida handled it, he would keep thinking about it and even get stuck in a rut.
He would be a little stubborn with her.
Especially when encountering people and things that are not good to Chu Xia, Cen Huaian would be angrier than himself.
Chu Xia was also worried, but she couldn't follow An An in everything. She had to trust him, and she also believed in Jiang Zhida's ability to handle things.
The TV in the box was turned on, and there was a pile of food on the table. Zhang Lu and Chu Xia had no appetite to watch or eat. Even Jiang Weixi kept looking at the door of the box, waiting for Jiang Zhida and Cen Huaian to come.
It seemed like a century had passed, and the door of the box was finally opened.
Cen Huaian and Jiang Zhida walked in first. Their faces were not so ugly anymore, and Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind them, a burly and strong man with explosive power carried the man in the brown leather jacket in like a chicken.
The man in leather jacket was beaten black and blue, with two streaks of blood hanging from his nose. He lay on the ground groaning like a dead dog.
"Cousin, I'm sorry. I'm Da Zi's good brother Shen Chuan. This is a distant relative of mine. I didn't know he was using my name to cause trouble outside. But I don't ask for forgiveness, cousin. You can do whatever you say. If you think I didn't beat him hard enough or vented my anger, I can beat him ten more times. But we have to beat them separately, otherwise his body can't stand it."
Chu Xia looked at Jiang Zhida, who nodded, indicating that everything Shen Chuan said was right.
"He is your relative, you handle it. I don't need to vent my anger, but Yunmengze is the business of all of us, I just hope it can be done well."
Chu Xia said with a smile, without even looking at the man in leather jacket on the ground.
"Cousin, you are generous!" Shen Chuan bowed to her.
Jiang Zhida patted Shen Chuan on the shoulder and said, "I've said that my cousin's wife is not a stingy person. When there is a chance, I will find a time to invite my cousin's wife and all the shareholders to have a meal together."
Chu Xia didn't really know the other shareholders of Yun Mengze. She only contacted Jiang Zhida for major business matters, and she had no chance to know other people.
"Okay." Chu Xia smiled and replied.
Shen Chuan also said happily: "Then I'll wait! I won't disturb you guys from having fun, cousin. I'll take this good-for-nothing out first."
Shen Chuan dragged the man in leather jacket away. Jiang Zhida and Cen Huaian sat down. Chu Xia touched An'an's head: "What happened just now?"
Cen Huaian shook his head: "Mom, my cousin did a great job."
Jiang Zhida drank the already cold drink on the table in one gulp, leaned back on the sofa and said: "That man is very spineless. When I threatened him, he said his elder brother was Shen Chuan. I called Shen Chuan directly. We didn't have to do anything. Shen Chuan beat the man half to death by himself. "
Jiang Zhida paused, took a sip of water and said, "Shen Chuan was angry too. Our place has just started, and a relative of his who knows what kind came here to bully and mess up the place, which touched his reverse scale. Those relatives who rely on his family will probably be dealt with next."
Chuxia nodded. Cen Huaian had already picked up the snack to eat. Although he didn't beat the man, he also vented his anger.
"Mom, my hands are not dirty." Cen Huaian said to Chuxia. He remembered what his mother said.
Chuxia looked at Cen Huaian, and her heart was like eating a warm dumpling in the cold winter, which was very comfortable.
"An An, mom is very happy now."
Cen Huaian raised the corners of his mouth.
After dealing with the unpleasant people, Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixi played happily in the box.
They sang loudly, jumped happily to the music, and twisted their buttocks very cutely.
Chu Xia watched them, eating delicious snacks and fruits, and swaying their bodies to the music.
Jiang Zhida and Cen Huaian were playing billiard on the billiard table on the other side.
Cen Huaian had never learned billiard, and Jiang Zhida taught him how to play little by little and told him the rules.
Cen Huaian has a strong memory and strong hands-on ability, so he got the hang of it quickly. Of course, the skills are still a novice.
After having fun in Yunmengze for an afternoon, the group went to Grandpa Jiang's house for dinner. Chuxia gave Grandpa Jiang, Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang the specialties she brought back from the northwest.
She and Cen Huaian took Jiang Zhida's car back to the institute.
The lights were on in other houses in the institute, only Chuxia's house was dark.
Chuxia and Cen Huaian couldn't help feeling disappointed, because Cen Zhengnian hadn't come home yet. They didn't know when he would come back.
The next day after returning home, Cen Huaian went to school, and Chuxia went to work in the hospital.
As soon as she entered the hospital, Chuxia and the doctors in the same clinic were called to Director Lin's office for a meeting.
Director Lin first looked at Chuxia: "Are you back?"
"Yes, Director. I'm done with my leave."
Director Lin said "Hmm", opened the notebook on the table and said: "Everyone is here, I'll make it short and tell you a new notice from the dean."
Director Lin's words were indeed brief. Chuntian Affiliated Hospital and several famous hospitals in Beijing are cooperating to do a support project.
That is, doctors with better medical skills from each hospital will be sent to the towns around Beijing and some underdeveloped areas in provinces and cities close to Beijing to provide medical assistance.
"There are many doctors in villages around us who are self-taught barefoot doctors. There are also some hospitals in underdeveloped counties and cities that lack professional doctors and technical support. This project was proposed by the higher-ups, and all hospitals agree. Our hospital does not force anyone to go. It is an application system. If you want to go, just fill out this form."
Chuxia took the form back to her clinic. Feng Xiaoyuan followed Chuxia in, also holding a form in her hand.
Although Feng Xiaoyuan is not qualified to see patients independently, Dr. Yan has recognized her level, so she can go when she goes to provide assistance. However, she also has another purpose for going, which is to learn.
"Sister, the teacher said I can go down and gain some experience. But I'm really unsure about myself."
Chu Xia looked at the paper and hesitated.
This is an opportunity for Chu Xia to train herself, and it can also solve the embarrassing situation that no patients come to her for treatment in the hospital.
But there is not only her at home, but also An An. There is no need to consider Cen Zhengnian's absence.
Moreover, the second half of the year is the critical period for An An's high school entrance examination. In April, he will go to another province to participate in the National Mathematics League. Chu Xia doesn't know if she will be assigned to some remote place to provide assistance if she participates, and she doesn't know how often she can come back .
She looked up at Feng Xiaoyuan and said to her: "You can ask the teacher for his opinion more. He knows your medical skills best."
Chu Xia couldn't make her own decision, let alone help Feng Xiaoyuan.
She put the form in the drawer and decided not to apply. Now that Cen Zhengnian is not at home, she must first ensure An An's life and study.
Although Chu Xia felt regretful, she no longer thought about it after making up her mind.
Doctor Yan first went to Director Lin to apply for rural assistance, but was rejected by Director Lin.
Doctor Yan is old and is not suitable for such a difficult assistance project. After all, doctors like them have to go to the village and the workload will be very heavy every day.
Feng Xiaoyuan was approved by Director Lin.
She wanted to cry, so she ran to Chu Xia's clinic and cried to her, "I can't do it alone! I originally wanted to apply with my teacher, but Director Lin didn't agree to my teacher going, saying that he couldn't take it anymore. What am I going to do without my teacher?"
Chuxia didn't know how to comfort her, so she just handed her a piece of paper and said, "There are other doctors going with us."
Feng Xiaoyuan's emotions came and went quickly, and she was done with crying. But she was still unhappy: "If I go to help, what will happen to me and Dr. Bai?"
Chuxia had a speechless expression in her eyes, and shook her hand in front of her and said, "Wake up."
The Dr. Bai that Feng Xiaoyuan was talking about was the new dermatologist in the hospital. She was still chasing him, but the two of them were not together. Other doctors and nurses in the hospital also chased Dr. Bai.
Feng Xiaoyuan sighed: "You are married, you don't understand. If I leave, it will give others a chance."
Chuxia didn't say anything else, mainly because emotional matters are more private, and it's not good for outsiders to say too much.
Tiangong Base.
The launch was successful, and Cen Zhengnian and his team of researchers had successfully completed their mission. Now they had to take a bus back to Beijing.
Yu Tian was particularly reluctant to leave Cen Zhengnian and the Beijing researchers who had worked side by side with him during this period.
"After you leave, the base will become quiet again in the vast yellow sand. There will be less hustle and bustle."
Cen Zhengnian patted his shoulder, feeling reluctant.
This was where his dream began, and it was the base that gave him the opportunity to pursue his dream. He will always remember the things the base taught him, and he will never forget them in his life.
"I'll wait for you in Beijing."
Yu Tian smiled again, and the smile on his face was as bright as a sunflower: "Okay! I'll find you!"
The base leader looked at Cen Zhengnian, his eyes full of pride. This was someone who had left their place, and he was already able to lead a mission independently. How could he not be proud?
"Do a good job! The base will always welcome you!"
Cen Zhengnian saluted the leader solemnly, and Ye Xingxiu and the others also saluted to express their gratitude. After
a journey of thousands of miles, we must finally say goodbye. Cen Zhengnian was reluctant to leave the base and Yu Tian and other researchers at the base, and they were about to get on the car and go back. Yu Tian
waved his hands vigorously. The leader stood aside, watching the car disappear in the sandy land of Ganzhou. He then turned to Yu Tian and said, "Let's go, our work is not done yet."
Cen Zhengnian was in the car, also watching the figures of Yu Tian and the others, until they became a small dot, he retracted his gaze.
Ye Xingxiu understood Cen Zhengnian's feelings the best, because both of them came to Beijing from local bases and had the same experience.
"If you want to cry, just cry. It's not shameful for a man to cry." Ye Xingxiu patted Cen Zhengnian on the shoulder to comfort him.
Cen Zhengnian frowned and looked at him: "Why am I crying?"
"You left your old base again, don't you feel bad? Doesn't your nose feel sore?"
Cen Zhengnian closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap and said: "I'm not that fragile. Also, it's time to go home, you can think about your wife and children."
With just this sentence, Ye Xingxiu shut up instantly, and worry about Shi Qin rose in his eyes. He didn't have time to think about it when he was busy at work, but now it was time to go home. When Cen Zhengnian reminded him, his whole heart was lifted up, and he didn't have the mind to pay attention to Cen Zhengnian's mood.
Sitting on the train going home, Cen Zhengnian was also thinking about Chuxia and Anan. Will she miss him without him during the New Year this year? And the Lantern Festival is Anan's birthday. He didn't say happy birthday to him. Will Anan be angry?
Cen Zhengnian didn't have an answer, but he kept thinking about these questions on the train until he entered the house.
He opened the door and was about to give Chuxia and An'an a surprise, but found that no one was at home, only three dogs ran out when they heard the noise.
Huangzi, Heizi, and Biandian ate too well at Grandpa Jiang's house during the Chinese New Year, and they all gained weight.
Cen Zhengnian saw them, touched their heads, and smiled unconsciously.
The day he went home was not a day off. Cen Zhengnian forgot that today was Saturday, and Chuxia and An'an still had to go to school.
There was no double-day off at this time, but only a single day off.
Cen Zhengnian looked at the calendar on the wall, put his hand on his forehead, and couldn't help laughing. As soon as he got home, he relaxed completely.
He went into the bathroom to clean himself up. When he was in the northwest, he was busy with work. Now Cen Zhengnian himself dared not look at his appearance. He didn't know how long he hadn't shaved.
If he had seen him like this in early summer, he would not have recognized him.
After Cen Zhengnian cleaned himself up, he started to work and clean the house.
The three dogs hadn't seen their male owner for a long time, and they circled around him. The floor that Cen Zhengnian had just mopped was stepped on and left black plum blossom marks, and dog hair fell on the ground.
Cen Zhengnian had no choice but to lock them up in the backyard and let them in after the mopped floor was dry.
Cen Huaian went home first.
Today is Arbor Day. The teacher asked all students to bring buckets and shovels to plant trees. When Cen Huaian came back, he was also carrying a shovel and a small bucket.
He put the things at the door and opened the door with the key, then he found something wrong, the door was not locked.
Cen Huaian thought his mother had come back early, he opened the door and looked up, he saw Cen Zhengnian sitting on the sofa reading a book, his hand gently stroking Huang Zi's head.
The bucket in Cen Huaian's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", surprise appeared in his eyes: "Dad!"
Cen Zhengnian looked at Cen Huaian when he heard the sound, he put the book down, joy appeared in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised.
"An An, I'm back."
Cen Zhengnian stood up and walked towards Cen Huaian, walked in front of him, stretched out his hands and hugged him.
Cen Huaian's body stiffened for a moment and then quickly relaxed.
However, Cen Zhengnian only hugged her for a moment before letting her go. He bent down to pick up the bucket on the ground, took the shovel from Cen Huaian's hand and said, "Why did you bring these to school today?"
Cen Huaian changed his shoes and said, "Today is Arbor Day."
Cen Zhengnian put the things in the utility room and understood what he said. The school will arrange tree planting activities for students on Arbor Day.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook."
Since An An has already finished school, it's almost time for Chuxia to get off work. Cen Zhengnian put on an apron and asked Cen Huaian.
Cen Huaian showed a knot on his face, looked at Cen Zhengnian and said, "Dad, why don't I do it and you help me."
"No need."
Cen Huaian had a hard day planting trees at school. His father has not been at home for the past few months, so he should behave well.
Cen Huaian really didn't feel sorry for his father, he also wanted to eat the food his father cooked. But his father really wasn't a good cook.
"Dad, there are dumplings in the refrigerator, I want to eat dumplings. Noodles are also fine."
Cen Huaian sighed in his heart, compared to other meals, these two Cen Zhengnian's cooking would not make a mistake.
"Okay."
Cen Zhengnian went into the kitchen.
Chuxia was in Director Lin's office at this time, and Director Lin asked her to talk about the aid.
"Doctor Luo, this is an opportunity for you, don't you apply for it?"
Director Lin wanted young people to exercise more. When the aid came back, Chuxia had made progress and really gained a foothold in the affiliated hospital.
Chuxia shook her head: "Director. My husband is not at home now, and my child will take the high school entrance exam this year. If I apply, there will be no one to take care of my child."
Director Lin had never paid attention to the doctor's family situation. He only knew that Chuxia was married and had children.
After listening to her, he sighed with regret: "There is really nothing we can do."
Director Lin knew from Dr. Yan that Chuxia's medical skills were very good, and he also wanted her to give full play to her abilities in the hospital.
But in Chuxia's situation, he could only feel sorry for her.
Chuxia came out of Director Lin's clinic in a bad mood.
She returned to her own clinic, took out the application form again, looked at it for a while, and put it back in the drawer.
Since she couldn't go, she might as well not look at it.
Chuxia packed her things and prepared to go home.
She didn't have to work the night shift, which was the happiest thing for Chuxia. In her previous life, she had a fixed night shift every week.
Chu Xia got home with her bag, but she still didn't notice anything wrong at home. She smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and called out to Cen Huaian: "An An, did you make dumplings today?"
"No, An An, I did." A gentle and magnetic male voice came from the kitchen. Chu Xia stopped moving and immediately turned to look in the direction of the kitchen.
Cen Zhengnian was wearing an apron and carrying a plate of dumplings. He looked at her with a smile and longing in his eyes.
"You..." Chu Xia blinked to make sure she was not seeing things. All kinds of emotions surged in her heart, including joy, sadness and relief.
"Zhengnian, when did you come back?"
Chuxia quickly changed her shoes and stood up. She went to the bathroom to wash her hands. When she came out, Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian had already brought out all the dumplings, as well as the prepared sauce dishes.
"This afternoon. Try my cooking skills to see if they have deteriorated?" Cen Zhengnian picked up a dumpling for Chuxia, his eyes never leaving her face, looking at her greedily.
Having been in the northwest for so long, he had no way to see Chuxia and An'an except through photos, nor could he contact them. His longing for them took root and sprouted in his heart.
Now that he saw Chuxia and An'an, his longing for them had grown into a towering tree. He could only keep looking at the two of them to slowly suppress its growth.
Chuxia looked at the dumplings in her bowl and glanced at Cen Zhengnian. These dumplings were made by her and An'an, and he just cooked them. What's the problem?
But she still ate the dumplings with sweetness in her heart, nodded to Cen Zhengnian and said, "It's delicious."
The stuffing she made must be delicious.
Cen Zhengnian's smile rose again and continued to pick up dumplings for Chuxia, but she stopped him and said, "You eat too."
Cen Huaian ate the dumplings in his bowl, trying to reduce his presence. It's also a kind of pressure when parents are too loving.
After filling his stomach, Cen Huaian immediately stood up after wiping his mouth, and took the three dogs who were also full, and said quickly: "Mom, Dad, I'm taking the dogs for a walk."
After that, without waiting for Cen Zhengnian and Chu Xia to speak, he ran out of the house with the three dogs.
"Slow down, you can't run after eating!" Chu Xia shouted quickly.
She had almost finished eating, and Cen Zhengnian cleaned up the dishes.
When he came out of the kitchen, Chu Xia patted the sofa beside her and said, "I have something to tell you."
Cen Zhengnian wiped his hands, walked over, and sat next to Chu Xia. The strong aura on his body that was no longer concealed completely enveloped Chu Xia, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
Cen Zhengnian had been away for so long, and she seemed to have to get familiar with his aura again and get used to him invading her space.
"What's the matter?" Cen Zhengnian reached out and picked up the orange on the table, peeled it with his hands, and asked in a gentle voice.
Chuxia told Cen Zhengnian about the hospital's assistance project, and the changes that would occur if she went or not.
After listening, Cen Zhengnian put the peeled orange in Chuxia's palm, held her hand, and gently touched the back of Chuxia's hand with his thin fingers: "I successfully completed my mission this time, and I have a period of vacation."
He originally planned to take Chuxia and An'an out for a walk. He has already planned the place, which is nearby, and they can go there during the vacation.
But Chuxia's aid project was more important to her. He kept those words in his heart and said in a gentle voice: "So I can take care of An'an. You apply for aid. An'an and I will support your work."
Chuxia raised her head suddenly and looked at Cen Zhengnian. She was moved and had an indescribable feeling in her heart, warm and rising. She even wanted to cry.
"Zhengnian."
Chuxia didn't know what to say for the rest of the words. She just reached out and hugged Cen Zhengnian tightly, letting him feel her current emotional instability.
Cen Zhengnian hugged her and patted her back gently: "I'm here, don't worry."
He would not break his wife's wings that wanted to fly. He would only help Chuxia fly to a wider sky, just like Chuxia supported him.
Cen Huaian came back from walking the dog. Chu Xia's mood had calmed down. She talked to Cen Zhengnian about what happened at home during the months he was away while watching TV. Chu
Xia didn't mention the young man in Yunmengze. She didn't want to talk about the things that had been resolved in the past and make Cen Zhengnian worry.
She only told him about the fun things in Yunmengze. Although she had some unpleasant experiences at the skating rink, Chu Xia still wanted to go to the skating rink the most.
"You have a vacation now, you can go there with An An. Yunmengze is different from other entertainment venues. Everyone who enters has to register. The staff investigate the dark things inside more strictly than the police."
Cen Zhengnian became a little interested: "Since you recommend it so much, I will definitely go and have a look."
"Mom, Dad."
Cen Huaian was sweating all over, and the three dogs came back from a walk, sticking out their tongues and looking excited.
"An'an, Mommy has something to discuss with you."
Cen Huaian, like Cen Zhengnian, had no reluctance at all and was very supportive of Chuxia's participation in the aid program.
Just like Chuxia supported him in learning Go and math, Cen Huaian saw that his mother wanted to go, and even if his father was not at home to take care of him, he also wanted his mother to go.
Cen Huaian even thought more.
The aid program should not have been available today, but Mommy only said it today because Daddy came back.
If Daddy hadn't come back, Mommy might not have let him know about it.
Cen Huaian couldn't ask his mother to confirm his guess. He looked up at Chu Xia and quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
He was afraid that he couldn't hide the emotions in his eyes, and he was also afraid that his mother would see the pain in his heart.
