Chapter 80
It happened to be Friday when Ding Xiang came home. Ren Shuxia started week after school in the afternoon. Since she didn’t have to go to school tomorrow, she had dinner. Ren Shuxia said to her mother Ding Xiang:
"Mom, I want to sleep with Mommy tonight."

"How old are you, you still have to sleep with your mother, don't you feel shy." Grandma asked with a smile.

"I miss my mother!" Ren Shuxia begged while hugging her mother.

"Okay, okay, okay, mother and daughter will sleep together tonight!" Ding Xiang agreed lovingly while patting her daughter's back.

After washing up, the mother and daughter were lying on the bed. They had a lot to say to each other, but they didn't know where to start...

"Mom, is my father getting better from stomach problems?" Ren Shuxia spoke first.

"Your dad has a stomach problem. It's an old problem. He, once he arrives at the site and starts working, he has no sense of time. He can't eat three meals on time. He always eats when the work is done." When Ren Shuxia said this, she paused for a moment, and then said:
"However, it is much better now. At least front-line workers can have hot meals and hot dishes at noon when they are working in the field. This is also one of the activities of "caring for front-line workers" promoted by our headquarters. Mom is mainly responsible for ensuring the front-line workers Workers work later. "

Ren Shuxia didn't talk anymore at this time. She looked at her mother's tired face and a few white hairs on her head, and said with a smile:
"Mom, you already have gray hair."

"Really, it seems that my mother is old, Shuxia, please help her to pull out her white hair." Ding Xiang replied.

Ren Shuxia pulled out her white hairs one by one. There were more than 10 in total. She gathered the white hairs together and spread them out in the palm of her hand. She said distressedly:

"Mom, look, look, there are more than 10 hairs."

"Girl, don't you look at how tall you are, you are even taller than your mother. You are so big, can your mother not grow old?" Ding Xiang said.

Suddenly Ren Shuxia said to her mother mysteriously:

"Mom, my first choice for the college entrance examination is to apply for BJ Jiaotong University."

"Why BJ Jiaotong University?" Ding Xiang asked suspiciously.

"What about this, mom, don't ask, anyway, I want to go to this school." Ren Shuxia replied confidently.

"Hey, you said that you are a girl, and you are going to go to a science and engineering university. You don't know how tired you will be after graduating from university and going to work?" Ding Xiang said distressedly.

"Mom, this is my hobby. When I was young, I wanted to be like my father, to be an electrified catenary engineer and technician, and to dedicate my youth and wisdom to the construction of electrified railway projects in the motherland." Ren Shuxia replied.

"Hey, mom doesn't want to interfere with your choice. It's your fate. You'll know when you go to work. There's a gap between ideal and reality." Ding Xiang said helplessly.

"Mom, I just want to be a female spiderman who touches the web. Is this my teenager's dream?" Ren Shuxia said with a smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, okay, mom supports your choice, and the college entrance examination is only a few days away. During this time, you not only need to work harder on your studies, but also pay more attention to your body in life. If you want to eat What, tell mom in advance, mom will make it for you!" Ding Xiang said, looking at her daughter's happy face.

"Thank you, mom, I love you!" Ren Shuxia replied sweetly, hugging her mother tightly at this time.

The mother and daughter then chatted about other homely things, and they didn't gradually fall asleep until around 11 o'clock in the night...
