The sad reminder of the science man

Through this trip to the Yongding River, Xue Zhi has a deeper understanding of the level of water conservancy construction in this era, and also knows his lack of knowledge reserves.He knows that he has fallen into a bottleneck, he needs to contact many people, and needs to see the current situation of a river in person.

After Xue Chi returned to Beijing, he wanted to write down what he had seen and heard and give it to Cheng Gong. This is Cheng Gong's homework for him.Xue Chi picked up the pen, but couldn't write a word. He felt that he had a lot of thoughts on the road, but why he couldn't write a word when he returned to the capital?

Xue Chi walked back and forth in the study impatiently, stopping from time to time and walking back to the desk, but when he picked up the pen, his mind was blank. After studying in the study all afternoon, Xue Chi still didn't write anything.

When the family was having dinner at night, Xue's mother looked at Xue Jia with a depressed look, and she only ate a little, and asked with concern, "Chi'er, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"

Xue Chi put down his chopsticks and shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't have any appetite."

Seeing this, Xue's mother put down the bowl, and reached out to touch Xue Jia's forehead with the back of her hand, "It's not burning, I think you haven't had a good rest in the past few months. Your father is also true, he is going out by himself. Jing is leaving Beijing, so why take you out too?"

Hearing what Mother Xue said, Xue Jia hurriedly said, "Mother, is it for my own good? Besides, Master also agrees for me to go out and have a look."

"Mother is not saying that you will not be allowed to leave Beijing, but thinking that our family has just been reunited. Mother has lived in Jinling for so many years, and finally came to the capital. Your father took you out of Beijing in a few days, which made mother feel uncomfortable. You have to panic." Xue's mother said, thinking of the pain of separation these years, she secretly blamed Xue's father, and looked at Xue's father thinking of reproach.

Father Xue seemed to feel the complaint from Mother Xue, so he also stopped his chopsticks, and lightly reprimanded, "You are a loving mother and a loser, don't I feel sorry for you, it's just that we think about the long-term, this time going out of Beijing is a very good time. exercise opportunity."

Seeing that Xue Mu was told by Xue's father, Xue Jia put a chopstick fish into Xue's mother's bowl, "Mother, isn't this good? Mother, come and eat fish, my child remembers that you like fish!"

Seeing that Xue Chi was so filial, Xue's mother still remembered what she liked to eat. She picked up chopsticks and ate Xue Chi's fish, and said with a smile, "It's delicious. This fish is still delicious. Come on, you too. Eat." As he spoke, he picked up a few chopsticks and put them into Xue Chi and Xue Hao's bowls.

Xue Jia and Xue Hao hurriedly thanked them, and also brought food for Xue's mother.The mother and son are just like this, you clip for me, and I clip for you, very busy.

Father Xue watched them picking and picking, and no one remembered to pick food for himself. He felt unhappy and reprimanded, "Eat when you eat. This gesture is to make people laugh. Is the maid putting it aside as a display? Eat well. .”

When Mother Xue heard Father Xue say this, she knew that he was eating, and she was secretly happy, so she didn't say anything, but ate with her head down.Xue Jia and Xue Hao didn't hear Father Xue's true meaning, and they also ate obediently.

When Father Xue saw them calm down like this, his heart was blocked, and he finished his meal with a straight face.

After the meal, the Xue family did not disperse, but gathered around to chat about recent events.

Seeing his family members chatting happily, Xue Jia suppressed his irritability and started chatting with his family members.

"Master, Haoer said that the Lin family is going to Beijing. I haven't seen this girl from the Lin family yet? I haven't heard Haoer praise any girl so much. I think this girl from the Lin family must have something extraordinary. "Mother Xue saw Xue Hao playing with a nine-link ring, and thought that it seemed to be brought by the Lin family, so she mentioned the Lin family.

Father Xue thought for a while, and knew that the Lin family was referring to Lin Ruhai's family of Yangzhou Yanzheng, "Well, Ren Yanzheng has already taken office, so Lin Ruhai's family should go to Beijing to report on their duties in a few days. Since Haoer and the girl from the Lin family are on good terms, then wait until After they go to Beijing, Haoer can invite girls from the Lin family to play at home."

As soon as Xue Hao heard this, he knew that this meant that his family could have friendship with the Lin family, put down his Jiu Lianhuan, and thanked Xue's father and mother with a smile, "Thank you, father, thank you, mother."

Xue's father and Xue's mother nodded, Xue's mother thought of the girl from the Lin family who lost her mother at a young age, and heard Xue Hao say that the Jia family's life was not very good, she felt pity in her heart, "Well, this girl from the Lin family is here, you should be older. Take good care of her." Then he turned to Father Xue, "Master, what do you think is going on with this Jia's family? Whether it's Chi'er from our family, Hao'er or the girl from the Lin family, how come Jia's family doesn't care about her?" Is it going well? Let’s forget about our family, and they are not some serious relatives of the Jia family. But this girl from the Lin family is different. I heard that this old lady from the Jia family personally sent a letter to the Jia family. Why don’t you take good care of her?”

Father Xue also knew that his child's Jia family was not doing very well, and felt a lot of idleness. He was not very satisfied with the Jia family, thinking that the Jia family had an affair with the Zhen family. Involved, I thought it would be better to keep a distance from the Jia family, but I still said: "Maybe the Jia family is too busy, so I didn't notice it! After the girl from the Lin family comes, just take care of her. By the way, the Lin family How old is the girl?"

Mother Xue didn't know the exact age, so she turned to look at Xue Hao.

Xue Hao received Mother Xue's gaze and immediately replied, "Sister Lin is four years younger than me."

Father Xue made a calculation in his mind, that is, Miss Lin was seven years younger than Xue Jia, so it was not suitable, so he let go of this thought, thinking of receiving a letter today, and said to Mother Xue, "Madam, I heard that my uncle said that Pan'er passed away. Some time will let him return to Beijing."

When Mother Xue heard the good news, she stood up in shock, "Master, is it true? I heard that right! This Pan'er is coming back, so he won't leave!"

Xue Chi and Xue looked at Father Xue expectantly after listening to it.

Father Xue saw that the whole family was very excited when they heard the news, and he felt relieved. The harmonious relationship between relatives is a manifestation of the prosperity of the family. Thinking of what was said in the letter, he shook his head, "No, brother said that Pan'er can treat three people in Beijing. Yue, let us take the opportunity to arrange his marriage, let us prepare now, so as not to be in a hurry."

When Xue's mother heard that Pan'er's marriage would take three months, she was quite surprised, and called out, "What! How can I make it in time? I haven't looked after him yet. How can all these big and small things be handled easily? Why is it so difficult? Hurry!"

Xue's father clapped his hands before realizing that he didn't make it clear to Xue's mother, "Didn't you say that when I came out of Beijing, I saw two families? It was the girl from the Wei family. My uncle said that he happened to patrol the southwest area, where Master Wei was stationed, didn't Pan'er follow his uncle? Then Master Wei took a fancy to our family's Pan'er, and told his uncle that he wanted to get married, and my uncle just received a letter from Jingli saying that we are interested in two families. There is this Wei family, so I made this marriage for Pan'er."

Xue's mother knew that it was better for her brother to protect the matchmaker than her own family to ask for marriage, but she still felt awkward, but thinking that Xue Pan would return to Beijing soon, and getting married would also mean that she would be able to hold her grandson immediately, so she no longer entangled with this issue, but Instead, he asked, "Master, does the Wei family know about this?"

Father Xue pondered for a while, and said, "The uncle's letter and Mr. Wei's letter were sent to Beijing together. The Wei family should know about it now. You can go to Wei's house tomorrow to find out what their family plans."

Mother Xue nodded, "Since it's already settled, the marriage will be better and better, and when will Pan'er arrive, there is a specific time, I can also arrange it!"

Father Xue shook his head, "When will Pan'er arrive, my uncle didn't say in the letter, but let us prepare for the wedding first, and the wedding will be held when Pan'er comes to Beijing, saying that these three months are for our reunion, and then Pan'er I still want to be with my uncle."

Xue's mother was disappointed when she heard it, but seeing that the master did not object, she thought she was in favor, although she wanted Pan'er to stay in the capital, but since both her elder brother and the master said that she wanted Pan'er to follow her elder brother, Xue's mother knew that it was useless for her to object. I didn't think too much about it, but thought about what to say when I arrived at Wei's house tomorrow, "Well, the preliminary preparations need to be stepped up. Well, when the house was refurbished, they prepared two rooms for them. This house is ready-made, so the next step is all kinds of preparations. Fortunately, this is the capital, as long as there is money, everything will be easy. Then I will go to Wei's house tomorrow to see what they mean. Na Cai must be here in a few days Okay, is this a wild goose? I remember there was one in our Zhuangzi, although it is not as good as Pan'er hunting it himself, but it is not rude to send it to Wei's house."

Father Xue nodded, "You can figure it out. If you want me and Chi'er to come forward, you can just tell us. And this is not a small thing, you take her with you and let her learn more. "Turning to the side and listening to their conversation, Xue Jia and Xue Hao said, "This is your elder brother's big business, don't be careless, Pan'er is not in the capital, you should help your elder brother to check it out as younger brothers and sisters, don't be negligent, your mother I want you to help, don't shirk, do you hear me?"

Xue Jia and Xue Hao nodded yes, and assured, "Yes, father, we will help mother to look after brother, and we must do it properly, so that others will envy brother."

After listening to their assurances, Father Xue also knew that the three of them had a good relationship, "Okay, you guys go down, Chi'er should go to Cheng Gong's house tomorrow, and Hao'er will accompany your mother to Wei's house tomorrow, okay, Go to bed early!"

Xue Jia and Xue Hao knew that there was nothing wrong with them. One was thinking that the homework had not been completed, and lamented in his heart, thinking that he would be trained tomorrow, and the other was wondering whether he could see the girl from Shangwei's family tomorrow, so the two After saying goodnight to Xue's father and Xue's mother, they led their maidservants back to their yards!

Xue's father and Xue's mother saw that the children had left, and they also took each other back to the room. They talked about the specific matters of Xue Pan's marriage and what to pay attention to, and then took a rest.
