At noon, the sun is at its hottest.

New buds appeared on the locust trees, and the weeping willows stretched out their branches.

Yu Huiyin put her hands behind her back and kicked the stone pillar at the gate with her toes: "Why did you only ask for two days off?"

"Today is Wednesday. Saturday is your birthday. Did you forget?"

"Oh, you still remember?" Yu Huiyin was very surprised, "What are you going to give me?"

"Keep it secret!"

"Sigh..."

It's obvious that you haven't thought it through yet.

However, it is very rare that he can remember his own birthday, and Yu Huiyin is still very happy.

"It's okay if you don't have a gift, but you have to cook for me!"

"What to eat?"

"I want to eat trotter pigs and fire squares!"

Li Dingan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay!"

Both dishes are not difficult to make, but they are time-consuming: Huo Fang is okay, it only takes half a day, but Yao Que Ti will take at least two days from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, Yu Huiyin's greed was secondary, the main reason was that she wanted me to accompany her...

"We agreed that you are not allowed to cheat..."

Yu Huiyin smiled and hugged his arm and acted coquettishly for a while, then suddenly thought: "After May Day, will Ah Da come back?"

Li Dingan paused, his face expressionless: "I don't know, did she tell you?"

"Ah?"

Yu Huiyin looked disdainful: Li Dingan, what is the password of the safe at home, have you forgotten?
416228919, these nine digits are actually the birthday combination of the three of them, all of which are lunar birthdays. The first group is Chen Jingshu because she is the oldest.

Finally it was Li Dingan because he was the youngest, and Yu Huiyin was in the middle.

Yu Huiyin didn't say anything, but pinched him lightly, and Li Ding'an immediately cried out: "I really don't know!"

"I don't believe you don't remember Ah Da's birthday?" Yu Huiyin squinted her eyes, "And don't tell me you didn't call?"

"I did call him, but he was only talking about company matters. He didn't bother to ask about this."

After a short pause, Li Dinganran suddenly remembered, "In mid-May, the Yokohama International Spring Auction will be held in Japan, and the preview will start half a month ago, so it is likely that she will not be able to come back in April or May."

"Is that so?" Yu Huiyin was skeptical. "May Day is a holiday, and you must be on holiday too. She won't come back, right?"

Li Dingan didn't know what to say: It's true that May Day is a long holiday, but Yu Huiyin, have you forgotten what you are going to do?

I just can't figure out what's in your head?
"Why did you ask her to come back on May Day?" Li Dingan sighed, "To have a feast?"

"Ah?" Yu Huiyin was stunned for a moment, and stuck out her tongue again, "Then she should not come back!"

I was so focused on whether Li Dingan would also celebrate Chen Jingshu's birthday that I forgot that I was going to get engaged on May Day.

Why let Chen Jingshu come back? To steal the bride?

After thinking about it, she still felt uneasy: "Then after May Day, aren't you going to Japan?"

Li Dingan let out a "ha".

Not to mention Japan, he now has to report in advance if he wants to go to Hong Kong and Macau, and it is not certain whether it will be approved.

"I really want to go, how about you ask for leave for me?"

"I'm not crazy?" Yu Huiyin snorted, and then tried, "Will you tell me when you see her next time?"

"Yes, I will!" Li Dingan nodded seriously. "I'm on a flight this afternoon, so I can see her tonight at the latest. Do you want to go?"

"Sigh..." The more Li Dingan said this, the more Yu Huiyin didn't believe it.

She also spoke to Chen Jingshu on the phone yesterday. Chen Jingshu and Quan Ying are still in the UK.

It takes more than ten hours to fly just to see Li Dingan?
It's not like we don't see each other every day. Is Chen Jingshu crazy?
"Go ahead, I approve it!" Yu Huiyin said generously, "Do you want Dad to help you take two more days off?"

"Even if we meet, it's just a one-time meeting, and we won't do anything... Even if we do something, two days will be enough..."

Before he could finish his words, Yu Huiyin hit him again.

To be honest, Yu Huiyin is quite confident in Li Dingan in this regard.

After being in Mongolia for so long, the two of them spent all their time together whenever they had time, but they never made the final breakthrough.

For example, the translator Fan Rongfan, who was so beautiful, sneaked into his tent but was kicked out by him.

And there is Shu Jinghao, she is pretty, has a good personality, and a good temperament. She admires him so much, hasn’t she always been good to him?

Oh yes, Shu Jing is good...

"Is Xiaoshu going too?"

"Yes, there are also Professor Cheng and Fang Zhijie!"

Yu Huiyin nodded: As long as Shu Jing is here, she is fine. She is not afraid if Chen Jingshu comes back secretly...

"Okay, go ahead!" She looked at her watch again, "You can still take a nap!"

"Why are you still squinting when your flight is at 4 o'clock?"

"Do you want me to help you pack?"

"There are so many assistants in the office?" Li Dingan waved his hand, "Go back!"

Yu Huiyin nodded, turned around and walked into the residential area, secretly glancing back as she walked.

Seeing Li Dingan enter the Supervisory Committee, she rushed into the building and took out her cell phone: "Xiao Shu, I'm Yu Huiyin..."

……

More than two hours later, after entering the cabin, Li Dingan turned off his mobile phone and put on a blindfold.

Shu Jinghao waved and asked the flight attendant for a blanket.

Cheng Yongquan sat in the back, looking at Fang Zhijie next to him with disdain, as if to say, did you see: you both entered the National Museum of China in the same year, you both worked as assistants to Li Dingan in the same year, look at Xiao Shu, then look at you?

You have no manners at all and you always say that the person has a higher title than you.

Fang Zhijie curled his lips: Is Shu Jinghao just being shrewd?

With the same paper framework and the same content given by Li Dingan, Shu Jinghao could complete it in one night at most, and could even publish it without Li Dingan changing a single word.

Just look, after only two years of following Li Dingan, Shu Jinghao has completed a triple jump, from intern administrator to assistant librarian to librarian.

This month, he changed from a cultural and museum major to a laboratory technician at the research institute, becoming a full-fledged laboratory technician and will soon be able to assist Li Dingan. With Li Dingan and the Special Ceramics Center as his backers, he will definitely publish papers until his hands are soft, so within two or three years at most, Assistant Shu will be promoted to associate professor.

But for Fang Zhijie, one paper would take at least a week, and would be rejected at least eight times.

At the end, Li Dingan was still impatient, but Fang Zhijie lost confidence first: Teacher Li, I'm already like this, so let's just leave it at that...

As a result, Li Dingan scolded him: "You are useless. I have been with him for so long, and even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. It is impossible for me to just watch him lie down, and it is even more impossible for me to just ignore him."

But it is a fact that Fang Zhijie lacks understanding and research ability. He could not work long in the special porcelain group and had to stay in the National Museum.

Li Dingan made some arrangements and was promoted to a higher level, temporarily serving as an assistant curator, so this time he was assigned to the "Three Kingdoms Jin Porcelain Technical Restoration Project Team" to assist Cheng Yongquan.

Since there is no shortcut, I can only follow the steps and let Shu Jinghao guide a few papers. After the project is completed, it will be enough to be evaluated as a librarian.

Oh yes, the project was given by Lin Ziliang, the level is not high, only provincial level, just for training. But the next step is the Song Dynasty Five Kiln Fuyuan Technology.

The National Museum is relatively small, but it is responsible for so many projects that there are definitely not enough people, so Li Dingan also brought in Peking University.

It doesn't matter if you release one sheep or a group of sheep. Anyway, there are enough projects and everyone can get some benefits: such as Gao Shengdong and his classmates and classmates of the same grade...

Cheng Yongquan spoke to the crowd again: "Be careful, don't be outdone by a bunch of students who haven't graduated yet. If you don't feel ashamed, I will feel ashamed for you..."

"Are they serious students? They are all Mr. Li's senior students?" Fang Zhijie disagreed. "Isn't it normal that I am not as good as them?"

Cheng Yongquan was speechless and Li Dingan almost laughed out loud.

Not to mention, if we really compare, classmates like Tan Hongwu, Shen Yingxiu, and Yan Zongjiang only lack experience. Whether it is comprehension, practical ability, or learning ability, they are much better than Fang Zhijie.

Even his accumulated knowledge is a little higher, so it's really not shameful that Fang Zhijie can't compare to him.

But he didn't dare to say anything, otherwise Fang Zhijie would definitely lie down on the spot: Look, this is what Teacher Li said?

With all sorts of random thoughts in my head, the plane took off into the air.

Li Dingan cleared his mind and soon fell asleep...

……

The willow trees in the capital have just sprouted, but the grasslands south of the Yangtze River are already full of wild flowers.

The nurse was wearing a white dress, revealing her white calves, and the patient in hospital gown was strolling in the garden.

"Dean Quan, why are you so late today?"

"I wrote some information in the office!"

"Dean Quan, it's time to get off work!"

"Yes, you're on duty?"

Saying hello along the way, Quan Zhen went downstairs and walked towards the family quarters behind the garden.

When we arrived at the community, the greetings continued, and Quan Zhen greeted every one of them with a smile on her face.

After entering the unit and going up to the third floor, just as she was about to take out her key, she heard footsteps from inside, and then Quan Ying opened the door: "Auntie!"

"Xiaoying?" Quan Zhen was surprised. "When did you come back?"

"Just arrived not long ago, flight at around 3pm!"

"You're so anxious...where's Jingshu?"

Quan Ying didn't say anything, but pointed towards the bedroom.

Just this one action made Quan Zhen's heart tremble: "What happened to Jing'er?"

Quan Ying's eyes dodged for a moment: "It seems a little uncomfortable!"

Just feeling uncomfortable?

If it was normal, no matter how uncomfortable she was, Chen Jingshu would come out and say hello to her...

She didn't even have time to change her shoes, she dropped her bag and ran over.

Chen Jingshu sat on the edge of the bed with her back to her, quietly looking at the three portraits in the bookcase.

Hearing the sound, he slowly turned his head.

Quan Ying's heart skipped a beat.

His expression was dull, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his eyes were lifeless and bloodshot.

His cheeks were thin and an extremely unhealthy gray-green color, and his lips had several cracks.

He looked a little dazed, as if he didn't recognize her. He tried to identify her for a long time: "Mom!"

"Jing'er, what happened...don't scare me!"

"Nothing, I just missed you!"

Quan Zhen gritted her teeth, holding back tears, her hands trembling as she gently touched Chen Jingshu's face: "If you miss me, just give me a call. It's not like Mom doesn't have a cell phone."

"I just wanted to see you!" Chen Jingshu's eyes seemed to have regained some spirit, and she forced a smile: "And sweep the graves by the way!"

Grave sweeping?

Quan Zhen felt as if a needle pricked her heart and looked at the bookcase.

There are three portraits, two of which are of people wearing military uniforms, one is Chen Jingshu’s father, and the other is her adoptive father whom she has never met.

There was another one with long hair, beautiful features, and a gentle aura all over her body, but between her eyebrows, there was a hint of indelible melancholy.

This is Chen Jingshu’s mother, and tomorrow is her memorial day.

In the past, Chen Jingshu would go there every year, and before going every year, she would sit in front of the portrait for a whole night.

Every time is like this, dazed and as if in a trance... and every time, it is also the time when Quan Zhen is most worried, worried that she will do something stupid.

But she hasn't been sick for two years. How come she suddenly became like this again?
"Okay, Mom will go with you tomorrow..."

Quan Zhen's lips trembled, and she tried to force out a smile, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll go cook..."

Then she winked at Quan Ying again.

Quan Ying nodded and walked out, and Quan Zhen closed the door gently.

“Bah!”

The lock tongue hit the keyhole, and Chen Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, my stomach started to growl and my eyelids began to twitch.

So sleepy and hungry...

In order to deceive her mother, she didn't have a good night's sleep or a full meal in the past half month. She endured for more than ten days and finally became like this, neither human nor ghost, as if she was sick again.

Especially in these three days, she only slept for four or five hours in total. She drank water when she was hungry, and only ate a small piece of cucumber when she couldn't bear it anymore.

It was a huge loss.

Therefore, if Li Dingan dares not to help, she will die in front of him...

Cursing silently, she quietly got out of bed, walked barefoot to the door, and put her ear close to it.

There were suppressed sobbing sounds coming from the living room, and Quan Zhen seemed to be crying.

Chen Jingshu's heart softened, but she gritted her teeth again: Mom, I'm sorry, if I didn't lie to you, I would really be like this... (End of this chapter)
