Time soon came to Thursday. Duan Hongxuan made several trips during the day, notifying Mr. Wei and Director Wang, telling them to come home for dinner in the evening, and told Mr. Wei that he had something important to announce that evening.
Director Wang naturally knew what Duan Hongxuan was going to do, and asked Duan Hongxuan unhappily: "Xiaosi, are you leaving now?"
Duan Hongxuan nodded: "Godmother, I'll leave on Saturday night. A car will pick me up!"
"Oh! I'm leaving now. You kid, sometimes I really don't know what you think.
Okay, I understand, our whole family will go there on Thursday, and your second sister’s family will also go!”
…
After getting off work in the afternoon, Duan Hongxuan went to call Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu. Auntie and Yu Li stayed with the deaf old lady at her home.
Soon, Director Wang's family and Mr. Wei's family came, large and small, and the courtyard immediately became lively.
On a hot day, as soon as everyone entered the small courtyard, a cool feeling hit their faces.
Both adults and children were amazed.
Duan Hongxuan went to open the door in person to greet everyone. Mr. Wei was surprised and said: "Junior brother, how did you manage this yard? It's so cool!"
Professor Lu was also surprised and said: "That's right, it's so comfortable to see your yard. It feels like your yard and the outside are two different worlds. Your yard is so cool, I'm afraid it will be very comfortable to sleep at night."
Unlike our home, where the weather is so hot, I have to wake up several times a night, and every time I wake up, I am covered in sweat.
It’s better to have a private courtyard like yours, why didn’t we think of buying a small courtyard like this in the first place!”
"Haha, senior brother, senior sister-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable living at home, you might as well move here for two days, just to escape the heat!
Anyway, I have a lot of empty rooms, so there is no problem in making room for you!
Come on, go in and sit down!"
Everyone chatted and laughed when they came to the backyard. He Yuyu and the others had already arranged tables and chairs under the grape trellis. Everyone sat down one after another and greeted each other. He Yuyu and the others served everyone tea, snacks, fruits.
When the children saw the plates of watermelon that were served, they cheered and happily picked up the watermelon and gnawed it under the nods of the adults.
Mr. Wei took the watermelon handed over by Duan Hongxuan, put the watermelon on the table, and said to Duan Hongxuan: "Junior brother, I won't be busy eating the watermelon now.
You came to me today and told me that we should come over for dinner today, saying that there was something important. What was it? Can we talk about it now?
You came to inform me during the day today. After you left, I always felt that something bad was going to happen. If you don't tell me clearly, I won't be in the mood to eat watermelon!"
Duan Hongxuan looked at Mr. Wei helplessly: "Okay, senior brother!
You know I’ve graduated!”
Mr. Wei nodded. At this time, both Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu pricked up their ears, because Duan Hongxuan specially invited them to come over today to inform them of something. Now that they saw that Mr. Wei's family and Director Wang's family were here, the two of them felt a little guilty.
, knowing that there must be something big going on.
Duan Hongxuan continued: "I have graduated from graduate school, and Minister Lu recommended me to participate in a national key project. The project is located in another place and has a certain level of confidentiality."
Mr. Wei was suddenly shocked: "Junior brother, do you mean you are going to another place?"
Mr. Wei's exclamation attracted the attention of everyone who was eating watermelon and drinking tea. Everyone looked at Duan Hongxuan in surprise.
Duan Hongxuan nodded: "Yes, senior brother, I am going to another place, and this trip will take at least several years!"
"What? How could this happen!" Mr. Wei couldn't sit still now, "Junior brother, do you have to go? Can't you not go?
How could this happen? A good graduate has to go to another place. Your home is still here. What will happen to your family if you leave?"
Except for He Yuyu and Director Wang, no one else present knew the news. When they heard it now, it felt too sudden and made everyone feel a little unprepared.
Zhao Yuejuan said anxiously: "Xiaosi, can't you find a job in the capital after you graduate? Why do you have to go to other places!
Can’t Minister Lu help you think of a solution?”
"Second sister, I originally planned to find a job in the capital after graduation. Uncle Lu also planned to help me stay in the capital.
But isn’t this a national key project now?”
Silly Zhu was also a little dumbfounded: "Hongxuan, you just said you were going to another place out of nowhere, this is too sudden!"
Mr. Wei sighed: "Oh! Since it is a big national project, then go for it. Junior brother, you have the ability and talent, so you should contribute to the construction of the country!
Junior brother, will you be assigned to work in other places when you go? Can you return to the capital after the project is over? "
"Brother, don't worry, we will be back after the project is over!"
“Huh, that’s great, it’ll be great if you can come back!
When did you get the notice? Why did you tell us now? You didn't say you would have told us earlier.
By the way, when will you leave, Tongzhi?"
Duan Hongxuan hesitated for a moment, looked at the surprised, confused and reluctant eyes of everyone, and said bravely: "Leave this Saturday night, a car will pick you up!"
"What! This Saturday! This...! Today is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday. Doesn't this mean you have to leave the day after tomorrow!
Junior brother, you...! You are leaving the day after tomorrow and you are telling us now, you are simply...!"
Yi Zhonghai was also stunned: "Hongxuan, are you really going to leave the day after tomorrow?"
Duan Hongxuan looked at Yi Zhonghai and then at Si Zhu: "It's the day after tomorrow, the time is set!
Brother Zhuzhu, not only am I leaving this time, Yu Yu, He Haitang and Jingru are also going to follow me!"
Silly Zhu first looked at He Yuyu, then seemed to come back to his senses, and stood up in surprise: "Yuyu and the others are also coming with you?
That’s not right, you are a graduate student and you go to participate in a project, why are they following you?”
"Brother Zhuzi, Yuyu and Haitang are top-notch in their school's studies. Normally, if they graduate from high school this year and then enter college, they will definitely be able to get into college!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When I learned about this project, I asked Minister Lu carefully and learned that there are also some top-notch high school graduates participating in this project.
Studying while participating in this project is like going to college in disguise!
This project lasts a long time, at least four to five years. High school diplomas are fine and students are top-notch. By participating in this project, by the end of the project, they can learn a lot that they cannot learn in college.
knowledge, and can obtain a university or graduate degree based on performance.
The most important thing is that if you participate in this project, you will have an honor on your files in the future. When the project is over, you will have an academic degree and such a big honor, which will be very beneficial to future job assignments!
So I asked Minister Lu for two more places and gave them to Yuyu and Haitang. Of course, they both agreed.
As for Jingru, due to the long time required for this project, the project location is in a semi-enclosed state, so the project team is allowed to bring one or two family members!
After Jingru found out about this, she also wanted to go with her, so this time, all four of us are going!"
Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu fell silent immediately.
He Yuyu looked at Silhu who was silent and couldn't help but his eyes turned red: "Brother!"
Silly Zhu raised his head and glanced at He Yuyu, staring angrily: "You still know that you have a brother like me!
You have to leave the day after tomorrow, and I just found out today that you...!"
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
"Brother-in-law!"
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Forget it, since it's already like this, this is a key national project, and it's all decided. It's too late to go back on it now!
But that’s fine, it’s good to be able to participate in such an important national project and contribute to the country!
Hongxuan, does the old lady know?"
"The old lady knows, I told the old lady privately a few days ago!
Master, after we leave, I plan to let the old lady and Sister Qin move in, and the old lady’s room will be temporarily occupied by Brother Da Zhuang and the others!
By the way, boss, in the room where Yuyu and Haitang live now, go back and demolish the partition in the middle. You and your sister-in-law can move in here!
You live in a crowded home, but the place you moved to is spacious and the environment is good. Miaomiao and her brother will have plenty of room for them to play!
And when you go to work during the day, you can let the old lady take care of your children, and you can take care of the old lady when you get home from work!"
Zhao Guowei nodded: "I understand, Xiaosi!
It's too sudden for you kid. You have to leave the day after tomorrow and I only told everyone today. I really don't know what to say to you!
Don’t worry, deaf old lady, don’t worry, I will help you take good care of her!”
Wei Daosheng said reluctantly: "Uncle Master, you just left without even saying hello. I also said that I would ask you for advice if I encounter any problems in the future!
Well, now that you are gone, you will go to another place, and it will take several years. No matter who I want to ask for advice, I can’t find anyone!"
Duan Hongxuan smiled: "It's okay, there's still your dad!
Besides, I asked you to come here today because I have something to arrange for you, and you will know after dinner later!"
Professor Lu shook his head: "Junior brother, I really deserve a beating. I was quite happy to come to your place for dinner, but who would have thought that you would tell everyone such bad news, which has made me lose all interest in anything. I will have more in a while."
I have lost my appetite for the delicious food!
You really piss me off!"
Only then did Han Dazhuang have the opportunity to interject: "Hongxuan, we are living in the courtyard now without knowing it. You must have done a great job keeping it secret!"
"Brother Da Zhuang, I'm so sorry!
From now on, you can help take care of the old lady when you have time!"
Han Dazhuang nodded: "Don't worry, Hongxuan! But Hongxuan, you said you would let us live in the old lady's room, this...!"
"Brother Da Zhuang, don't worry, I have discussed this matter with the old lady, and the old lady has no objection at all!
Besides, since the old lady has moved in, of course her room will be empty.
If Lao Kong doesn't live in the house, the house will be in bad condition over time, so if you move in, you can help the old lady look after the house and help her take care of the house!"
"Hongxuan, thank you, thank you, old lady!"
Duan Hongxuan waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. Besides, the house is only for you to live in temporarily, not as a gift to you. When we come back in the future, you may have to vacate the house!"
Han Dazhuang nodded gratefully: "No problem, we will vacate the house at any time when you come back!"
Duan Hongxuan nodded: "Okay, everyone quickly eat the watermelon, and then let's start dinner!"
