Zhang Yu asked the children to play for a while and then call them when the food is ready.
Zhang Yu put the car away, carried his things into the house, hung up his clothes and handbags, and carried the ingredients into the kitchen.
After working for a while, Mengyi opened the door from outside and came in.
"Come back?"
"Well, I'm back. Why didn't I see you just now?"
"I went to Shazhu's house and chatted with Qiuye for a while."
While Mengyi was talking, she rolled up her sleeves to help Zhang Yu.
"In the evening, I have to be absent when doing crafts with my children."
"The higher-ups have given me a task, and I have a week to thoroughly understand it."
Mengyi nodded to express her understanding. After all, Zhang Yu now works in an important national unit and cannot be around his wife and children every day.
"Okay, I'll tell the children later."
"By the way, I will be assigned overseas starting tomorrow."
Hearing the word "expatriate", Mengyi's hand movements stopped.
However, he still pretended not to care and asked.
"Expat? Why are you going to another place?"
"Either I went to another place, or I changed my job in another unit. I won't tell you the specific location."
Hearing this, Mengyi's heart dropped to the ground.
As long as you don't go out of town, you can go anywhere. After all, Zhang Yu is the backbone of the family.
In the eyes of outsiders, Mengyi is the master of everything in the family, but only he understands that Zhang Yu is the one who makes the most decisions.
As long as Zhang Yu is here, everything will be in order at home.
Once Zhang Yu is away from home for a long time, Mengyi will temporarily lose her direction and not know how to deal with herself.
Of course Mengyi understands what Zhang Yu means.
"Yes, I know, confidentiality regulations!"
In fact, Mengyi still doesn’t know the name of Zhang Yu’s work unit or its location. Mengyi doesn’t know all these things.
Zhang Yu only told Meng Yi that the nature of the work was different and the workplace needed to keep it confidential.
Mengyi has no intention of asking the question. As long as Zhang Yu can come back to accompany her and her children every day, nothing else matters.
"The unit I went to this time also gave me a salary subsidy, which is more than 80 yuan a month."
"If the two units are added together, it will be less than 200."
"It's just that I have less time to spend with you and the children."
"It's okay, as long as you are at home, I will comfort the children."
Zhang Yu hugged Mengyi and kissed her on the face.
"Thank you, wife, for your understanding."
"Okay, let's cook quickly. The children will be hungry soon."
Zhang Yu accompanied Mengyi and the children to finish the meal. Zhang Yu seriously asked for leave from the children. The children were somewhat disappointed when they heard that their father could not accompany them tonight.
But the children knew that their father's work was important, so they reluctantly gave him a holiday.
After tidying up, Zhang Yu returned to the back room with his handbag.
Get ready and start studying the drawings.
Because the children are not accompanied by their father, they are no longer in the mood to do handcrafts.
Mengyi could see what the children were thinking. Since the children were not in the mood to do crafts, they should do something else.
I took a small table and four small stools and placed them outside the door of the inner room.
"Children, mother knows that you don't have the heart to do handicrafts."
"Let's do something else tonight. Mom will ask you to write."
"Then let's stay here with dad, okay."
"Okay!!!"
The children knew not to disturb their father, so they lowered their voices and answered in unison.
Mengyi found a notebook and pen, and each person divided two pieces of paper.
Mengyi first practiced how to hold a pen with the children, and then waited until the children became proficient.
Then hold the children's hands and write their names one stroke at a time.
This was the first time Mengyi asked the children to write, and the children learned very well.
I lay down on the table seriously and imitated my mother's handwriting stroke by stroke.
Nuannuan and Xinxin made rapid progress, and soon mastered how to write their names, and the writing became more and more beautiful.
It’s called Little Dog Dan, and it really lives up to its name. It’s written like a dog crawling.
Mengyi doesn't ask how good Little Dog Dan can write, as long as he can focus his attention on the pen and paper, Mengyi will be considered a success.
Zhang Yu's progress was also very fast, and he finally finished reading one-fifth of it before ten o'clock.
It’s a shame that I spent a whole day researching at work during the day, otherwise the progress at night would not have been so fast.
Zhang Yu packed up the drawings and put them into his handbag. He turned and glanced at the bed, but did not see Mengyi.
I feel a little strange. This is Mengyi’s normal rest time. Why hasn’t she seen anyone yet?
Zhang Yu got up and opened the door, and found a small table at the door, with a senior and a young boy lying on it and falling asleep.
Zhang Yu immediately understood why he didn't see Mengyi on the bed. Mengyi was afraid of disturbing him, so she didn't dare to go back to the room.
Zhang Yu carried the children into their room, covered them with quilts, and gently closed the door for the children.
There was a movement of picking up Mengyi and squatting together, which woke up Mengyi from her sleep.
I opened my eyes in a daze and found that it was Zhang Yu.
"Are you done?"
"Well, I'm done."
Zhang Yu carried Mengyi back to the room and put Mengyi on the bed. Mengyi was so sleepy that she turned over and continued to sleep.
After Zhang Yu washed up, he took off his clothes and lay on the bed, put his arms around Mengyi, and slowly fell asleep.
……
The next day.
After Zhang Yu finished exercising, he had dinner with his family and headed to the artillery station with his handbag.
The guard at the door blocked Zhang Yu's way.
"Hey, hey! What do gays do? You can't just enter here."
Zhang Yu directly took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the guard.
The guard took a cursory glance to make sure there was nothing wrong with the letter of introduction, and then glanced at Zhang Yu.
"Comrade, please wait here for a while, I will report to the director."
Zhang Yu nodded to express his understanding.
The guard turned and ran into the artillery station. Zhang Yu waited at the door for a short time before he saw a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit walking out.
The middle-aged man reached out his right hand enthusiastically, took Zhang Yu's right hand, and shook it constantly.
"Hello Comrade Zhang Yu, I am the director of the Artillery Bureau. My surname is Qin and my name is Qin Baichuan. On behalf of our Artillery Bureau, I welcome your arrival!"
"I think Mr. Xu has told you the purpose of coming here. Mr. Xu also told me about your deeds. I have been looking forward to your arrival since this morning."
Director Qin was so enthusiastic that Zhang Yu was a little overwhelmed.
"You have praised me very much, Director. I am just an underachiever and I don't deserve your praise."
"Let's go in and talk."
Director Qin took Zhang Yu's arm and walked all the way to the office.
Let Zhang Yu sit on the sofa for a while, call the secretary to pour tea for Zhang Yu, let Zhang Yu wait for a while, pick up the phone and dial a number.
"Hey, let Lao Li answer the phone."
……
"Hey, Lao Li, I found the person you want."
"Yes, yes, it's in my office, okay, then come over quickly!"
Director Qin hung up the phone and called his secretary.
"Xiao Wang, go and get Zhang Yu's access certificate and give it to Zhang Yu directly later."
"Yes, Director."
The secretary went out to get Zhang Yu's certificate of departure.
Director Qin sat on the sofa next to Zhang Yu and chatted with Zhang Yu about his parents.
