Although he knew that something was wrong with Zhuo Kitten today, and he looked preoccupied at such a young age, Zheng Tan didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Speaking of which, he really hadn't paid attention to Zhuo Kitten and Xiaozhuo for a while. After all, Zhuo Kitten was not like Xiaoyouzi. Xiaozhuo came to pick him up when he was free. Even if Xiaozhuo couldn't come, there was still Xiaozhuo. The former brothers and sisters came to help.
Now Xiao Zhuo is a teacher of physicists, Zhuo Xiaomao will go to the physics college if he doesn't go home after school. Anyway, people in the courtyard have already known Zhuo Xiaomao. After all, this little guy can stand behind him. Lord Buddha, even some unsmiling teachers will rarely hold back a smile when they see Zhuo Kitten. Zhuo Kitten went there, although it couldn't be regarded as walking sideways, but it was almost the same. In addition, Zhuo Xiaoxiao is a big kid, he is very careful, and he is very smart. Because of this, Zheng Tan has never been worried about him.
But hearing this now, Zheng Tan didn't know how to respond.
Is this a happy event or an annoyance
Before Zhuo Kitten was born, his blood father left their mother and son and ran away. The identity of "father" in the household registration book is fake, or a martyr, which is a means of protection that Xiao Zhuo applied for. In any case, Zhuo Kitten didn't have his father by his side since he was a child, and even his mother left for several years before he came back. Zheng Tan was worried that he would be as sad as other children. In fact, this kid has always been in a good mood. Zheng Tan thought that he didn't care about this, but now it seems that it's impossible not to care.
According to what Zhuo Kitten said just now, could Xiao Zhuo finally find someone now? In the past, Lord Buddha has introduced many people, but unfortunately it has not been successful. Now this is an indication, has there been progress
Zheng Tan looked at Zhuo Kitten, the kid looked up at the sky after eating the mutton kebabs, and after saying the words just now, Zhuo Kitten looked at the two bamboo skewers in his hand that were left after eating the kebabs. He jumped off the chair, walked to the trash can not far away and threw it away, then came back and continued to sit, without any intention of leaving.
Zheng Tan couldn't speak, and it was impossible to communicate with him.
Otherwise, when the time comes, I will secretly go and see what kind of person is that person
"Brother Hei." Zhuo Kitten looked at Zheng and sighed.
Zheng Tan looked at him, raised his head, said he was listening, and continued talking.
"let me tell you."
Zheng Tan: "..."
Zhuo Kitten spoke for an hour.
That person is Yue Cheng, a new teacher at the School of Physics this year, and a professor. Xiao Zhuo did not formally introduce it to Zhuo Xiaomao, but Zhuo Xiaomao had met that person several times in the School of Physics, and when Xiao Zhuo was away , Xiaozhuo's younger brothers and sisters joked to Zhuo Xiaomao that Yue Cheng might become Zhuo Xiaomao's father, and Zhuo Xiaomao thought it was indeed possible after observation. Lord Buddha is also optimistic about them. People who have a good relationship with Xiaozhuo from the School of Physics also joked about a "Zhuoyue" combination, which sounds like a good match.
Anyone will have an idea on this matter, let alone Zhuo Xiaomao, who is more governor than his peers. For this stranger who may become a family member, let's say rejection, not absolute, say accept it. Suddenly joining such a person is quite reluctant, and there is a kind of unease that the rhythm of life has been changed.
Zheng Tan has never met Yue Cheng, but since Lord Buddha supports him, the character of the other party should be considered good, but he doesn't know what Yue Cheng thinks of Zhuo Kitten. Xiao Zhuo hasn't spoken yet, so he is probably worried about Zhuo Kitten. Mood.
After speaking carefully, Zhuo Kitten's mood improved a lot. The mobile phone in the schoolbag rang, and Xiao Zhuo called.
Xiao Zhuo called the doorman at the western compound, and found that Zhuo Kitten hadn't returned home, so he made a direct call.
"I've invited Brother Hei to eat mutton skewers, and I'll go back later... um... OK, goodbye, Mom." After calling Kitten Zhuo in a good baby's tone, before the phone was put in the schoolbag, Kitty Zhuo just said He sighed to Zheng with a depressed expression: "Brother Hei, I heard that person's voice again. He is right next to my mother. Brother Hei, do I really want more dads?"
It's useless to be entangled like this, you can only take one step at a time. All Zheng Tan can help is to see what kind of person the other party is. If it is a set of hypocrites in person, Zheng Tan will definitely intervene. If the other party is not bad, Zheng Tan doesn't plan to mix in.
After delivering Zhuo Kitten to the door, Zheng Tan came out, and he didn't go home immediately. It wasn't six o'clock yet, and he planned to go to the School of Physics to have a look.
There are also some people in the School of Physics who know Zheng Tan, especially the postgraduates who have been under the command of Lord Buddha. They are familiar with Zheng Tan. After seeing Zheng Tan, they called out, but Zheng Tan ignored it and jumped to a tree in front of the School of Physics. Crouching on the tree, Xiao Zhuo was still in the yard when he called Zhuo Kitten just now. He said that he would go home in half an hour. It has not been half an hour since the call. Zheng Tan is waiting here, and he will always see someone. .
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zheng Tan to see Xiao Zhuo come out, and the one beside Xiao Zhuo was not a few young female teachers or students with her on weekdays, but a man in his early forties. The man is not tall, he looks a little over 1.7 meters, not much taller than Xiao Zhuo, and he is not too ugly. , not very obvious, but still can be seen.
This kind of people…
How did Xiao Zhuo see it? How did the Lord agree
Zheng Tan recalled Zhuo Kitten's biological father, shook his head, and couldn't remember. But anyway, this man is too ordinary, right? Is it charisma? The title of professor, coupled with this and that kind of honor, should be able to bless a lot of halo.
Watching the two walk to the parking lot of the School of Physics, after a while, Xiao Zhuo came out on an electric bike, and the man also rode an electric bike.
Zheng Tan stared. I'm going, don't even have a four-wheeled car? !
Zheng Tan went to the parking lot of the School of Physics to see that there were a lot of cars in the hundreds of thousands or even millions, especially those with the title of professor who were in their 40s and 50s and could talk in the academy. A car, even if it is not a luxury car, an economical four-wheeled sedan is also a basic configuration, right
The two of them didn't ride fast, Zheng Tan followed behind, and they didn't see them separated until a fork in the road. One went back to the western compound, and the other went to the main gate.
Zheng Tan squatted in the grass, thinking about Xiao Zhuo's expression just now. It seemed that Xiao Zhuo was quite satisfied, and his smile was not that kind of perfunctory smile, but also a little shy.
In the next few days, Zheng Tan went to the School of Physics every day and heard a lot of gossip about Xiao Zhuo and Yue Cheng. In the school, not only the students, but also the teachers are very gossipy. Sometimes, two people in their fifties can be seen standing on the grass in front of the college with teacups and chatting. Zhuo thing.
After listening to so much gossip, Zheng Tan realized that Yue Cheng was actually only thirty-five or six years old. He had a marriage, but left very early. The reason was that this person was always busy with experiments and had no time to spend with his wife. I don't have any children. I haven't talked to anyone after the divorce, and my health is not very good. I just went through a recuperation period. I used to work at the National Academy of Sciences. Later, I met Xiao Zhuo when I went abroad. Returning to China, now Yue Cheng has come to Chuhua University for Xiaozhuo.
"I heard that the two of them have been working together in the past few years when they went abroad," said one person.
"Really? No wonder they look familiar, nothing like they just met." Another was surprised.
Zheng Tan pondered on the tree next to him, when did Xiao Zhuo go abroad for a few years? Thinking about it, Zheng Tan suddenly froze. After Xiaozhuo joined the project and left for a few years, the excuse given by the Buddha was to study abroad or something. Could it be that Yue Cheng is also a member of that project
Thinking about it like this, it can explain why Yue Cheng, who was only in his thirties, looked like he was in his forties, and he felt a little morbid. It was like this when Xiao Zhuo came back.
If this is the reason, Zheng Tan thinks that Yue Cheng is actually not bad. Those who can be selected by the country to participate in such a project are definitely the elite among the elites.
Zheng Tan observed for a few more days, but did not find that Yue Cheng did anything too outrageous. The teachers and students of the School of Physics did not say anything negative about this person when they gossip. Zheng Tan pondered, this is still the case. Not blended.
But when Zheng Tan was planning not to get involved in this matter, Zhuo Kitten called Jiao's house and asked Zheng Tan to come over for dinner tomorrow. Zheng Tan was often invited over there for dinner, and the Jiao family had long been surprised. Jiao's parents and Jiao's mother had no other reaction, but Zheng Tan figured it out. This meal must have something to do with Yue Cheng.
The next day, when Zheng Tan passed by, Xiao Zhuo in an apron came over to open the door.
"Come in at the black charcoal, take what you want to eat yourself, the kitten is on the balcony." After saying that, Xiao Zhuo hurried to the kitchen again, the dishes were still in the pot.
Because it was the weekend, Kitten Zhuo didn't go to school, and Xiao Zhuo temporarily put aside the affairs of the yard, and Yue Cheng obviously did the same.
There are two balconies in this house, one is on the master bedroom side, where you can see the large area for leisure in the compound, with a wide field of vision, while the other balcony is very small. Usually, Xiao Zhuo is only used for drying clothes. How to go this way, there is no scenery here, only the opposite building, Zhuo Xiaomao usually doesn't come here.
But now, Zhuo Xiaomao and Yue Cheng are both here.
When Zheng Tan walked to the balcony, Zhuo Xiaomao was busy with small gloves and with the help of Yue Cheng, erecting a mechanical shelf, the height was higher than the railings, and there were two grooves on the outstretching mechanical arm.
Seeing Zheng Tan, Zhuo Xiaomao beckoned, "Brother Hei, come here, I read the Chinese book of the fourth grader next door yesterday. It said that two iron balls landed at the same time. I'm going to do an experiment."
Zheng Tan is not interested, why is it so complicated to make such a broken experiment
No interest means no interest, but since Zhuo Kitten said it, Zheng Tan didn't know what to do, so he squatted beside and watched the two busy.
There is a lawn below this side, and the mechanical shelf extends long enough to not fall on the cement floor at the edge of the building, and it also deviates from the place where the balcony is, preventing someone downstairs from sticking out his head and hitting it.
After the shelf was set up and the timer and a few things that Zheng Tan didn't know what to do were installed, Yue Cheng looked around, no one was around downstairs, so he nodded.
After seeing it, Zhuo Kitten pressed the remote control in his hand, the groove on the mechanical arm opened, and a large and small iron ball fell inside.
The sound of the landing below rang, but Zhuo Kitten looked at a timer for the first time. Then take a pen and paper and start writing and drawing.
Yue Cheng also had the paper and pen handed over by Zhuo Kitten, but he didn't write too many formulas like Zhuo Kitten, but after a pause, he directly wrote a number, and then looked at Zhuo Kitten calculate.
"Your formula is wrong." Yue Cheng pointed to the formula written on Zhuo Xiaomao's paper and said.
"Huh?!" Kitten Zhuo was dissatisfied, and if you couldn't give a reasonable explanation, I would go to my mother to complain.
Yue Cheng didn't care about Zhuo Kitten's glares, smiled, picked up the pen and paper in his hand, and said to Zhuo Kitten, "Did you read the previous book? I'll deduce it for you..."
Zheng Tan: "..." What are you talking about, I don't understand Tamar! Didn't the two iron balls land at the same time? What are you calculating now? How to say height and classical physics? Free fall your sister! Mechanical movement, your uncle! Formula derivation, your sister's uncle!
Zheng Tan's beard was shaking, shaking again, shaking again, but he still turned around and went into the room, where his IQ was suppressed and his self-esteem was frustrated, so he had to watch TV.
When they went downstairs to pick up things, Zhuo Kitten called Zheng Tan together, and Yue Cheng went downstairs with him. When going downstairs, Zhuo Kitten kept introducing Zheng Tan to Yue Cheng, and Yue Cheng kept laughing and listening. Yes, without the slightest impatience.
Although there is grass below, Zhuo Xiaomao later tossed, free-fall and flat-throwing motion. There were too many things thrown down, and it still rolled into the distance. After finally finding all of them, Zhuo Kitten put them all into his small box, including two more special small magnetic balls of Yue Cheng. Zhuo Kitten was already envious.
Yue Cheng reached out and wanted to help Zhuo Kitten carry something, but Zhuo Kitten walked a few steps with short legs and hugged the box, "No, no!"
Before waiting for Kitty Zhuo to go far, Yue Cheng quickly stepped forward and hooked up to pick up Kitten Zhuo, and swung it in a circle in the air.
Zhuo Kitten, who was holding the box tightly, screamed.
Children also like to scream, but, compared to older children and adults, when they scream, it does not necessarily mean that they are panicking, but that he is excited and happy.
Zheng Tan had never heard Zhuo Xiaomao scream like this before. This child was always more mature than his peers. Even though he was young in the class, he was more prudent than others in many situations. Out of place, not like a child. And now, for the first time, Zheng Tan felt that this child was really just a little brat.
"And Brother Hei, Brother Hei!"
Hearing the meowing of Zhuo Kitten, Zheng Tan, who was thinking about something, was about to look over when he found that he had been picked up.
Yue Cheng took Zhuo Xiaomao in one hand and Zheng Tan in the other, "Let's go, let's go up to eat!"
The atmosphere of this meal was quite harmonious. Zhuo Kitten quickly got to know Yue Cheng, and there was no entanglement from the previous days. Zheng Tan was still happy for the child in his heart.
A week later, Yue Cheng proposed to Xiao Zhuo, and the box handed out by the proposal contained a ring and a small gold medal.
Each small gold medal proves the owner of the gold medal's contribution to the country, and also represents that they have some privileges that others do not have, and belong to a type of people who are specially protected.
Xiaozhuo put the two gold medals together.
Double gold medal protection, Zhuo Kitten has another umbrella.
In the season of spring, everything seems to be starting to exude vitality. The school bell of the attached primary school rang, and a group of children rushed out with schoolbags on their backs.
Zheng Tan squatted on a tree and watched the little kids running out. Zhuo Xiaomao was among them. Xiaozhuo and Yue Cheng didn't come to pick him up. A graduate student took Zhuo Xiaomao to the School of Physics.
Zhuo Xiaomao seemed very excited. He was able to enter the laboratory to watch an experiment today, and he also asked a lot of related questions along the way. The graduate student also explained patiently.
When looking up at the flowers on the tree, Zhuo Kitten saw Zheng Tan squatting on the branch, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"Brother Hei Hei!" Zhuo Kitten beckoned.
Zheng Tan hesitated and jumped off the tree to see what the child wanted to say.
Who knew that Zhuo Kitten opened his mouth and said, "I'm telling you..."
Zheng Tan turned around and ran.
