As soon as Cen Zhengnian returned to the base, he started getting busy without even putting down his luggage.
I solved the problems in the project first, and continued to be busy after solving them. It is only now that I have finished one stage of work and have some free time.
It's already mid-November.
The letters and things sent by Chu Xia and Cen Huaian had actually been there for several days, and only now did he have time to sit down and read them.
Chuxia still wrote a lot of letters, about Cen Huaian’s autumn outing, her troubles at work, and the problems she encountered in her studies.
She wrote a whole page just about making bookmarks, which made Cen Zhengnian laugh so hard that he even wanted to go out and find some ginkgo leaves to make some bookmarks.
An An's letter contained a mixture of Chinese characters and pinyin, not much, just like writing in a diary.
Dad, after you went back to work, mom and I went to class and work every day, and nothing changed.
On Tuesday, we went on an autumn outing. I picked up ginkgo leaves and made bookmarks with my mother. This was quite difficult. My mother did a better job, but I made a lot of mistakes.
Mom said that many of the things you sent were asked by grandma, so I also sent the bookmarks I made to grandma.
My mother also said that my great-grandfather in Beijing helped her a lot, and I also sent him a bookmark.
Dad, are you very busy at work? If you are, you can send the letter back later.
Best regards!
Cen Huaian
Section 55
In addition to letters and bookmarks, the package sent in early summer also contained some winter clothes. They were all sweaters and trousers to be worn inside, with only a black lapel double-breasted coat to be worn outside.
Chuxia said in the letter that he happened to see this coat and thought it was very suitable for him, so he bought it. He estimated that it was just right for him to wear now.
Cen Zhengnian touched the clothes and felt as if his tired body was re-infused with warm strength. Just as he was about to take off his clothes to try them on, the door of his dormitory was suddenly pushed open from outside.
"Zhengnian, I just thought of a new idea for an experiment..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Yu Tian saw Cen Zhengnian's coat spread out on the bed.
Cen Zhengnian calmly put his clothes back on, picked up his coat, sweater and trousers and was about to put them away.
Yu Tian flashed in and smiled ambiguously: "Zhengnian, your coat is nice, did you buy it recently?"
Cen Zhengnian ignored him, hung the clothes in the closet, then turned around and said with a gentle smile, "My family sent it to me."
The smile on his face surprised Yu Tian. He had never seen him so warm and affectionate before.
Cen Zhengnian is usually serious and responsible at work. He has little free time, so he usually stays alone in his dormitory or office reading and doing calculations.
Such a gentle smile without any sense of distance is rare.
Yu Tian smiled more ambiguously: "It seems to be sent by my sister-in-law. No wonder you seem to be in such a good mood today."
Cen Zhengnian didn't answer. He stood up and walked out. The gentle smile on his face faded a little. He didn't really want to talk more about family matters with Yu Tian.
"My dormitory is not a place to work. Let's go to the lab to talk."
Yu Tian understood what he meant and stopped asking questions. He walked out with him while talking.
However, Cen Zhengnian was usually too reserved, so when he saw him coming down to earth, he couldn't help but tease him a few more times.
