Simple addition of male gods and male gods

2019, the end of October, late autumn.

At [-]:[-] p.m., it was completely dark. Zeng Qi drove from the south to his parents' house on the West Second Ring Road. The neon lights in the city kept flickering through the window.The car stopped in front of the red light again, and Zeng Qi turned his head to look at the side of the road, only to realize that it was not far from Cheng Yuexi's residence.

Since he returned to work in China, he has been very busy at work, and he has a tight schedule every day.Although Cheng Yuexi and Cheng Yuexi met many times to have dinner together, the latest "date" seems to be before the new semester started after the Spring Festival last year. After that, the two of them also greeted each other on WeChat, but because they were both busy, they just Never met again.

Even though they are in the same city and their jobs are related to a certain extent, it is not easy to meet each other.

Zeng Qi once loved Cheng Yuexi so much that he wanted to go crazy. At that time, he was not like himself at all. Later, when he recalled the state at that time, the jealousy at that time was like sulfuric acid, burning and melting his soul into an ugly Face-to-face steps.

But this feeling cannot withstand the power of time. After so many years, the strong feeling is like the passion and innocence of excess self-awareness in adolescence, and it has been honed to only a layer of "mature" and "mellow" middle age surface.

Thinking of Cheng Yuexi, Zeng Qi's mood would fluctuate to some extent, letting him know that his feelings for Cheng Yuexi had not completely melted away, but these ups and downs were quickly dissipated by the ringing of the mobile phone at this time.

Zeng Qi saw that it was his doctoral student Jiang Xin calling, it must be something about the laboratory, Zeng Qi immediately connected to the Bluetooth on the car and answered, "Mr. Zeng, the genome data we tested is out. "

Zeng Qi's mind turned to work in an instant, and said: "I have some housework to take care of tonight, and I will be back in the laboratory at about ten o'clock. You can go back and rest first. I will go back to the laboratory and see for myself."

Jiang Xin is the second student under Zeng Qi's teaching. She has been Zeng Qi's student for more than six years. Compared with other students, she is always more casual and expressive towards Zeng Qi Concerned about herself, she said: "Ms. Zeng, you should take a rest on Saturday night. Even if you are young, you can't always stay up late. I'm not urging you to come back to work, I'm just telling you that the data is out."

Probably because Zeng Qi is not much older than his students, so Zeng Qi pays more attention to his serious image when facing the students, and almost never jokes with the students. He didn't say much at this time, just said: "Well ,so be it."

Just as he hung up Jiang Xin's call, the phone rang again. It was a prestigious expert in the industry who invited him to give an academic report. Zeng Qi thought about his schedule and agreed.

After a series of interruptions, Zeng Qi stopped thinking about Cheng Yuexi when he was downstairs at his parents' house.

Zeng Qi knocked on the door, and the nanny greeted him with a smile after opening the door, "Mr. Xiao Zeng, you're here. Director Mu was waiting for you in the living room, but he just went into the study."

After Zeng Qi nodded to her, he changed his shoes and went into the living room. Zeng's mother, surnamed Mu, was the leader of a certain unit in the provincial government. She was about to retire, so she was transferred to a less busy department, so she had more time at home and didn't have to work overtime all the time. Or on a business trip.

My great-grandfather and great-mother still live in this house in the second ring road because they work close to the unit. This house is not big, only about 120 square meters. Live a taste of the old days.

After Zeng Qi returned to China for work, she no longer lived with her parents. The main reason is that the two generations have quite different concepts. In addition, the three members of the family are all very busy, and they will inevitably disturb each other when they are together. It is better to live separately.

The nanny said: "Mr. Xiao Zeng, go and ask Director Mu to come out for dinner. I'll serve the food in the kitchen."

The nanny is in her 40s and has served the Zeng family for ten years, and has a close relationship with the Zeng family.After Zeng Qi responded, she went to knock on the study door, "Mom, Madam has asked you to come out for dinner."

Director Mu said in the study: "Zeng Qi, you are here. Come in and help me see how to do this."

Zeng Qi had no choice but to push the door and go in.

There are large bookshelves on three walls of the study, inside which are neatly placed a large number of professional books on medicine and management, and folders with entries. Zeng Qi’s father, Zeng Yinqing, is the vice president of a well-known third-level hospital in S city. After managing work, although he is no longer on the operating table, he will only have more directions to understand. Most of the books and materials in this study room belong to him.On this day, he was on a business trip and was not at home.

There was a large desk next to the window, and a lady with thick and wavy hair was sitting behind the desk.

This lady has a dignified, graceful and fair oval face, with an elegant and amiable temperament. She wears a pair of thin silver-rimmed presbyopic glasses on her face. There are already fine lines left by the years on her face, and there is a little silver in her thick hair. Silk.

Director Mu is a beautiful person. Even at this age, without any modification, people will still admire her appearance and temperament from the bottom of their hearts.

Zeng Qi looks quite similar to his mother, but his temperament is much colder and stricter.

Zeng Qi stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

When Director Mu saw his son coming, he showed a little bit of the "coquettishness" deliberately made by women, and said: "The unit has installed a new system, and the sister in the office came to teach me how to use it, but now my brain is mediocre. Yes, I didn’t understand it at all. Oops, I used it well at work, but it didn’t work as soon as I came back. I really feel that I’m going to be eliminated. Every day there are new things, and I can’t learn them. "

Zeng Qi somewhat realized that his mother wanted him to solve the problem, and also wanted him to comfort the "old woman", but Zeng Qi didn't say a word, and many of the exchanges between his mother and him were all his own. Entertain yourself.

After walking around the desk, he leaned over his mother to look at the laptop screen, Zeng Qi didn't say much, just took the mouse under his mother's hand, clicked it back and forth, and said: "You didn't turn on the encrypted VPN, you turned on That’s it, just click on your system again, and that’s it.”

When Director Mu saw that her son had solved the problem by giving her a couple of slaps, she suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, that's how it happened."

Seeing her acting exaggeratedly, Zeng Qi laughed and said, "Is there any problem?"

Director Mu shook his head: "It's gone now, and I'll ask you again."

Zeng Qi said: "Then let's go eat first."

"Oh, eat and eat." Director Mu got up and said, "Haven't you slept well recently? I think you have dark circles, son, you still have to pay attention, premature aging is not a good thing, you I haven't found a partner yet, appearance is still important."

Although he didn't pay much attention to these things, Zeng Qi still felt a little rippling in his heart, "Huh? Oh."

"Oh? Oh?" ​​Director Mu looked at his son and shook his head helplessly.

Sitting at the dinner table and starting to eat, Director Mu stared at his son again and said, "It's been more than six years since you returned to China, and your career is on the right track. You said you were busy with work but you didn't get on track, and you didn't want to find a partner. What about now?"

A high-quality single man in his 30s has faced more marriage urges and introductions than a woman of the same age and status.

Several of Zeng Qi's partners are female PIs, and some of them are unmarried, as if they are more comfortable than him.Of course, maybe they wouldn't talk to him about it, so he didn't fully understand their pressure on it.

Zeng Qi only eats in a muffled voice, and he only goes back to his parents' house once a week, basically on Saturday nights, sometimes at noon on Sundays.One is because of visiting parents, and the other is that since the plan has been formulated, it must be implemented.

Probably because Director Mu has really been free recently, so he seems to be more concerned about Zeng Qi's marriage.

Director Mu saw that he didn't answer, because he was going to be a silent goose until the end, she was even more helpless, and said: "There are quite a lot of young people in our unit who don't want to get married, but basically Girls don’t want to get married. I’m a woman myself, and I know women’s hardships. Marriage and having children are really not good for women. Things happen one after another. There’s a lot of hard work, no credit, and things get worse. The more responsibility you do, the more you will be scolded if you don’t do it. They told me these truths, and I felt that the truth couldn’t be more clear, but I turned around and thought, you are not a woman, and you don’t want to get married. For what?"

Zeng Qi ate the plate of fresh chilli rabbit meat in front of him in suspense, until his forehead was covered with sweat, but he didn't want to talk to his mother about it.

Director Mu was still full of maternal love before, but now maternal love has turned into resentment, and he brought the plate of fresh pepper rabbits to him in a hurry, and said, "Do you think I talk too much? Or do you think the mother who urged the marriage is unreasonable?"

"No." Zeng Qi saw that his mother was really angry, so he hurriedly smoothed things over, "I just thought of a problem in our experiment. I was afraid I would forget it, so I thought about it for a while."

Director Mu snorted coldly, and said, "You think I'm annoying, don't you! I also think you're annoying! I really don't know what's the use of having a baby, just to annoy people?"

Zeng Qi: "..."

Zeng Qi had no choice but to comfort his mother: "No. You used to be busy with work and didn't have time to enjoy your own life. Now that you have some free time, you can find something you like to do and be happier."

It's better not to say Zeng Qi's comforting words. Director Mu thought that his son thought that she was in a hurry and had no life of her own, so he was going to take care of him.

After being silent for two seconds, Director Mu said angrily: "I think that girls who are suitable for you all have their own pursuits. If you don't change your temper and your mouth, I'm not afraid of offending you. Zeng Qi, one of them has a crush on you, and I have your surname."

Zeng Qi: "..."

Zeng Qi smiled bitterly, and said: "Mom, I'm really busy with work. I don't have time to interact with other people. Besides, being with people is a responsibility. I don't have time, and it's hard to develop feelings. Going on a blind date isn't it harming others and wasting their time?"

Director Mu nodded: "Okay, I accept your reason. I don't want to control you and interfere with your life, but if you have any reason to think, you should always tell me and let me know what state you are in. You It’s been like this since I was a child. When I was in kindergarten, I was bored and only knew to do my own thing. You couldn’t listen to what I said to your dad. At that time, I was afraid that you might have mental problems. Now, I still have to worry about you like this! Is there anything that you can’t talk to me about? Let me know a little bit about your mental state, what are you thinking, and let me worry less, is it really not okay? In your heart, your father and I are the ones who won't understand you or support you?"

Zeng Qi felt guilty all of a sudden, and said, "I know. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I also know that you and Dad are doing it for my own good."

Director Mu sighed softly, put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

The nanny said from the side: "Director Mu, you eat so little, don't you want to eat any more?"

Director Mu said: "At this age, if you want to eat, how much can you feel. I can't go hungry, sister."

As she spoke, she brought Zeng Qi's favorite fresh pepper rabbit back to him.

Zeng Qi said: "Mom, you can eat some more, could it be that I was really mad at you just now?"

Director Mu saw that he had also lowered himself, and said with a smile: "If I was really mad at you, I would have been mad at you a few decades ago."

Zeng Qi: "..."

Zeng Qi saw that although she was energetic, there was a lot of confusion in her eyes. Zeng Qi didn't understand what his mother was thinking again, so she fell silent.

Director Mu sighed suddenly, and said, "Son, have you heard about your Madam Huang's family, Zhao Jingxin?"

Hearing the name Zhao Jingxin, Zeng Qi froze, his hand holding the chopsticks shook twice, and the green beans held by the tip of the chopsticks fell back into the plate.

Seeing his expression, Director Mu thought he knew, so he said, "Tell me, in this world, even the fate between parents and children is so fragile. I only heard about your Madam Huang because of Zhao Jingxin a few years ago. It's only been a few years since she likes a man who is making a fuss, and that's it, if she knew it would be the current situation, why would she have made such a fuss at that time."

Ms. Huang is the same age as Director Mu, and has a close relationship with Director Mu. Sometimes they will make an appointment to travel or go shopping together to buy clothes.

But Zeng Qi and Ms. Huang are actually not familiar with each other, and her impression of her is still more than ten years ago, but Zeng Qi is very familiar with her son Zhao Jingxin, because Cheng Yuexi has liked Zhao Jingxin since high school.

Knowing that Cheng Yuexi liked Zhao Jingxin since high school, it was Zeng Qi's freshman year when Cheng Yuexi told him.

Zeng Qi still remembers what happened that day very clearly.

The author has something to say: I have started a new article. This is the fifth part of the micro-examination series. It tells the story of a doctoral supervisor who works on new pathogens and his classmate who works in a medical inspection technology company.

I started writing this article in October last year, intermittently, constantly writing, deleting, and revising. It was finished in April this year, and it was sent out in its current form.

It is set to release a chapter at 11:30 noon every day, with daily updates until the end.

The first edition was written from Cheng Yuexi's perspective, but later it was changed to Zeng Qi's perspective.From the perspective of Cheng Yuexi, there are many perspectives on Wuhan’s fight against the epidemic, but those things are too heavy and have been recorded by many people, so they are all deleted.After that, this article is probably just a description of the simple life, work and relationship of two people.

Because it is Chapter 1, there are red envelopes for comments, and all positive comments will send a small red envelope to celebrate the opening of this article.
