Life and death have destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven.

This sentence actually comes from the "Yan Yuan Chapter" of the Analects of Confucius and has been circulating for more than 2,500 years.

The context in which this sentence is used is usually used when burning the cauldron and sinking the boat. It has the meaning of "if a person dies and a bird looks up to the sky, he will not die for tens of thousands of years."

Now, it's finally time to confess to Lao Li.

My elder sister had already told Lao Li the news that my younger sister was pregnant and had a baby. She said they were in Shanghai now and asked them if they could come.

You said so, can you not come?

I guess Lao Li will come over tomorrow.

However, throughout the ages, there are countless examples of people who sacrificed their small family for everyone. They are far away, such as Dayu's flood control, Huo Qubing's Northern Expedition, and there are many recent ones, such as the hero of the two bombs, the great physical scientist...

Shen Guanglin thought about it, he is a physical scientist, and it is really difficult to have both family and career.

In particular, during the recent period, the lithium battery technology research in the joint laboratory of Beijing University and Tongji University has reached a critical juncture, and Professor Shen is waiting for on-site guidance. It is impossible to say that he will stay in the laboratory for a while.

As for how long he will stay in the laboratory, it depends on how long Lao Li stays in the city.

Professor Shen's spirit of having the courage to work hard and devote himself to science without caring about his family has not been seen in scientific researchers for a long time, especially Shen himself.

Not to mention the past three to five years, at least in the past one or two years, I have not seen Shen working overtime, let alone being a permanent resident in the laboratory.

All this is for the development of national science and technology. Is it easy for Professor Shen?

Lao Li, who is far away in Beijing, received a call from his sister Li Rong: My sister is in Shanghai. She is pregnant and has given birth to a boy. He weighs six pounds. Mother and child are safe. I have good news for you.

So, that night, Lao Li rolled around on the bed all night long.

During this period, he probably slept for a few hours in a daze. Even though it dawned very early in the summer, he still got up before dawn.

A man was sitting in the living room drinking tea while wiping himself off. There was a huge teapot filled with herbal tea brewed last night.

Lao Li drank the whole bottle in one breath, but his heart still couldn't calm down.

Looking at his watch, it was only half past five, which made Lao Li even more restless.

"What's wrong? You're not like this usually. Did something happen?"

Hearing the heavy sound of placing the teapot, Mrs. Li rubbed her eyes and came out of the bedroom, looked at the big teapot in front of Lao Li, didn't think much, and prepared to go into the bathroom to wash up.

Lao Li endured it again and again, lying down and sitting up, and finally coughed and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Why are you so nagging?" Mrs. Li had already put on the toothpaste. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see Old Li continue to speak. While brushing her teeth, she asked vaguely: "That's what you said."

"Lily's side... I'm a little worried. I want to go over and take a look." Lao Li is not only worried, but his head is about to explode. He has a grandson now?

"You are just partial!" Mrs. Li spit out the toothpaste foam and smiled, "You have never cared so much about Rongrong. Why, didn't you say you would never go to Fuso? Are you going to make an exception this time?"

"Lily is not in Fusang now, she is in Magic City, and they are both in Magic City together." Lao Li said to his wife.

Li Rong's words on the phone yesterday were vague, but Lao Li had actually guessed what was going on, but he just didn't know how to tell his wife.

"Ah? There are two of us, and she has a partner? Why didn't she tell me, a mother, that I didn't see her partner when I went to Kyoto last year? She didn't say anything at that time."

Lao Li shook his head, "It's not the partner, it's the mother-in-law. She has a child."

"Oh, it's not the right match. She has, what..." The toothbrush cup in Mrs. Li's hand fell to the floor, and she didn't bother to pick it up. She quickly turned around and asked: "What? She has a child? You said

Is this the second oldest child in our family?

You mean, our Li Li has a child? Whose? Could it be that she married a Fusang man?

Oh, how could this be like this? If the old man knew, oh, what I said, he shouldn't let her study abroad. Just protect her day by day. Look, something happened. Oh, I...

..”

The more Mrs. Li talked, the more anxious she became, and she even felt a little at a loss.

Lao Li stopped his wife's random guessing: "Don't worry, the child she is carrying is not a Fusang person. It's really not a Fusang person! The baby's father is from China."

Although Li Rong did not tell Lao Li whose child her sister was pregnant with, Lao Li had already guessed it, but he was just a little unwilling to face it.

Now, Mrs. Li is probably the only one in the family who is kept in the dark.

"That's good, that's good. It's good that she's from China. You said that this girl didn't learn anything else when she studied abroad, but she learned a lot about being open-minded. She's just like you back then. I was pregnant back then.

We weren't married when Rongrong was born, so it was good for her that she gave birth to all the children before she got married."

Mrs. Li was mumbling while washing her face, and soon she came back to her senses: "Did you know about it yesterday?"

"Yes!" Lao Li answered honestly.

"Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Mrs. Li began to investigate the whole story, "Who told you?"

"I'm not afraid that you will worry."

"I asked who told you, who told you?" The lady clung to this point.

"Rongrong said it." Lao Li explained.

"Hey, I said Rongrong hasn't been in the capital recently. She went to take care of her sister. Are we the last to know?"

"yes."

In fact, no, Lao Li knew it in advance, and only Mrs. Li was the last one to know.

But this is not important, the important thing is to arrange the itinerary.

Lao Li hurriedly coordinated the air tickets to Shanghai, while his wife hurriedly went to the market to buy some things, such as brown sugar, millet, sea cucumbers, and black-bone chicken.

As a mother, she must feel sorry for her daughter. She must prepare as many supplies as possible in this short half-day.

Do you want to bring more money?

There's no need to bring money. Rongrong is over there. Don't you know how much money she has in her hand?

Think about it, although they don't know how much money Shen Guanglin has, Shen Guanglin's reputation of paying 100,000 US dollars for a lecture is very famous, and Li Rong is not short of money at all.

Along the way, Mrs. Li kept catching Old Li and asking questions. Mr. Li said that he didn't know the specific situation. Everything would be clear when we arrived in the magic city.

Then go quickly, why are you lingering?

When the couple came out of Jiangwan Airport, they instantly felt the enthusiasm from Shanghai. At least they felt the heat.

September in Beijing has become cooler, but the hot spots in the magical city in September are still unbearable.

Fortunately, Li Rong came to pick up the plane early. There is air conditioning in the car, so it won't be too hot when it's on.

"Thankfully I asked more, otherwise I would have picked you up at Hongqiao Airport." Li Rong skillfully turned the steering wheel while chatting with Lao Li and his wife.

Jiangwan Airport is an old airport left over from World War II. It has been used by aviation units and has no place for delivery. Civil aviation uses Hongqiao Airport.

Lao Li came with his wife, but he didn't buy a ticket in advance. He wanted to go but didn't have a ticket, so he had to find another way to come, which was considered a use of his privileges.

After getting in the car, Lao Li didn't say a word. Only Mrs. Li spoke: "Rongrong, tell me, what's going on with your sister? Why did Li Li come to Shanghai? When did she get pregnant?

Have a child?”

"The baby was born four days ago. Adding the expected date of delivery and the days beyond the due date, the pregnancy should be 297 days ago."

Li Rong answered very accurately. She probably thought about what the old man would ask and was well prepared.

However, is this what mom wants to ask? Li Rong deliberately did not follow the routine.

The mother asked: "What I want to ask is, what happened to Li Li? Why don't we know anything? We already have the child."

"You have to ask your sister about this. I don't know."
