At around nine o'clock the next morning, Mr. Qin learned that the road to the bridge site had returned to normal, so he immediately led people on the road and drove more than ten kilometers to the area.

This is a typical high-altitude deep canyon terrain, with high mountains and ridges along the line. Not far ahead of you are the snow-capped mountains that are covered with snow all year round. The slopes on both sides of the canyon are high and steep, with wilderness. There was no lane at all, and the expressway had not been built here. In order to facilitate early surveys, ZJ side had already opened a road to the mountain in this area a year ago.

The bus stopped in the open space, and the group got off and walked to the bridge site. On the way, Chen Songnan was very excited and kept taking photos. When he arrived at the bridge site he had previously surveyed, he stood on the towering barren mountain slope on one side, facing the strong wind blowing from the depths of the cloud-filled Grand Canyon, and sighed with shock: "I can't imagine that in a few years, a bridge of several thousand meters long will be built above this canyon at our feet to connect the two sides! In this way, our bridge is really amazing! I chose this major before, and I chose it right!"

His slightly immature sigh attracted laughter.

Mr. Qin also likes enthusiastic and energetic young people, and smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, it can be said that modern bridges are the most complex discipline in the field of civil engineering. The construction of high-rise buildings is under vertical stress, while the bridge is horizontal, spans across the air, and the weight it carries is varied, and the factors to be considered are more complicated. Therefore, mechanics occupies a very important position in bridge construction. My teacher, Mr. Shen, used to emphasize that when designing, you must learn mechanics well, which is the foundation."

Chen Songnan nodded and asked respectfully: "Mr. Qin, everyone in the courtyard calls you master. Do you have any other valuable experience or teachings?"

Mr. Qin smiled and shook his head: "What kind of master am I? Speaking of master, Mr. Shen is the real master. No matter how complicated the drawings are, he can point them out immediately as long as there is a mistake. Xiao Chen, if you ask about the teachings, I will transfer the teachings Mr. Shen had previously taught me to you. Mr. Shen was very strict with his work. The documents and drawings sent there were not allowed to have a typo or even a punctuation on them. Why? Because rigor is the business card of our engineers. In the laboratory, scientists can fail, but our engineers do not allow any mistakes. No matter how subtle mistakes are, they may lead to the most serious consequences. Remember, respect life and abide by our duties. When we build bridges, safety is the only bottom line that we must not have any temptation."

After Mr. Qin finished speaking, not only Chen Songnan solemnly expressed that he remembered it, but Zhao Nanxiao was also solemn.

"Okay, let's work!" said Mr. Qin.

This bridge requires four lanes in both directions, speeds of 80 kilometers per hour, and its design service life is 100 years. Its wind resistance is designed according to the maximum wind speed standard once in a century, and its earthquake resistance is not less than seven degrees. It can be said to be a century-old project. Due to the relationship between terrain and rock and soil, the site was finally selected here, and one side passed directly from the mountain, and a tunnel was set. The previous environmental assessment, terrain cross-section, hydrology, rock and soil, etc. have been surveyed. This time, personnel were organized to conduct on-site surveys again. The main purpose is to demonstrate the rationality of the modified bridge design on the original bridge site, as well as to determine the detailed dimensions, construction methods, and adjustment of budgets.

The engineers and technicians all went to work. Some were measuring, some opened their notebooks to check satellite information, and they were busy.

Xu Shu stood aside and watched what Zhao Nanxiao and Mr. Qin were discussing. From his perspective, she could clearly see her side face.

She lowered her head, her eyes fell on the notebook she was holding, and a finger was slashing on it. The wind blew her short hair, but her eyes were focused and not distracted at all.

Xu Shu looked at it secretly, suddenly hoping that he could transform into the notebook in her hand. If she could let her look like this every day and touch it like this, it would be very pleasant...

He was thinking about it all in his mind, and suddenly saw her looking up, his eyes turned to him. He was startled and immediately turned around as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Nanxiao glanced at his back and continued to work.

At noon that day, I ate the dry food I brought there. When I came back in the evening, everyone was very tired and had a meal, worked, rested, and prepared the contents of the next day.

Because ZJ Party cooperated with all its strength and had complete equipment, the work progressed very smoothly. After a week, the progress was almost the same, a few days earlier than the original plan.

Tomorrow is the last day. After the end, General Qin led the team back and invested in the last step, the content of the adjustment of construction drawings and project budgets.

In the evening, Zhao Nanxiao painted a bridge-shaped overall elevation in his room. He felt a little hungry and casually peeled a piece of candy he received that day and put it in his mouth.

The candy was sour and sweet. She continued to draw pictures while holding it in her mouth. At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

The call prompt is a landline phone call from Beijing.

Zhao Nanxiao picked up: "I, Zhao Nanxiao, who are you?"

"Hello Xiaonan, Xiaonan! It's uncle, I haven't contacted him for a long time!"

Uncle Xu's voice came over, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Hello Uncle Xu." Zhao Nanxiao responded quickly, a little surprised.

Because it's okay, she and Xu Shu's father had almost no contact with each other, and didn't know what he suddenly called him.

"Um... Uncle called, didn't disturb you to rest?"

"No, I'm empty. Uncle Xu, what are you asking me for?"

"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered and called me to ask. Xiaonan where are you now?"

Uncle Xu is a busy man, flying around and having various meetings all day long. Suddenly, he called to chat with him. Zhao Nanxiao felt confused, but of course, he couldn't ask the reason directly, so he smiled and said, "I'm in Rigui County, Autonomous Prefecture, and there is a job on a business trip in the Design Institute."

"The conditions there are very difficult. You should also pay attention to rest while working. Don't be too tired. The weather is cold and you can wear more clothes. Do you know?"

"Thank you Uncle Xu for your concern, I know."

"Well, yes, is Xu Shu next to you?" he asked suddenly.

"No. Uncle Xu, are you looking for him? Do you want me to call you for help?"

"No, no, no. I have something to do. Uncle told you that if Xu Shu is as stupid as before, he will do whatever he wants, don't worry, teach him a lesson. He will teach him a lesson. No matter how hard he is, he will do it! If he dares not listen to you, just tell him! If you have uncle to support you, don't let yourself feel a little wronged!"

This stupid person, Zhao Nanxiao was even more puzzled: "Uh... Xu Shu..."

She still had candy in her mouth, and she spoke a little vaguely and stopped for a moment.

"What? He really bullied you again?" The voice on the other end suddenly increased several degrees.

"No, no!"

Zhao Nanxiao was startled, swallowed the candy with a "gudong" and said hurriedly: "Uncle Xu, don't get me wrong. I mean Xu Shu is very good now and cooperates with our work. Our Mr. Qin praised him today."

"Oh, that's good, then I'll feel relieved. In short, Xiaonan, please remember your uncle's words. Please help me discipline him well for him in the future. If you have any problems, just tell me about it. It's not too late, and I won't disturb you to rest."

"...Uncle Xu, you should also take a break early, don't be too tired of work."

Zhao Nanxiao hung up the phone, but for no reason, shook his head and continued to draw pictures.

After finishing the call with his future "daughter-in-law", Xu Zhenzhong was in a good mood. He walked a few steps in the office and immediately called his son again.

Xu Shu was in Lao Zhang's room at the Engineering and Technology Department of the Design Institute. The two discussed revising the program design. When they saw his father calling, they answered it.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Okay, you guys! You're living together, how dare you hide it from me?" said a sentence from the other side.

Xu Shu was stunned: "What living together? Who to live with?"

"You pretend for me! Isn't it Xiao Nan? I can't tell. You kid is quite capable. I underestimated you before."

My father's voice sounded quite happy, and he even praised himself for the first time.

Xu Shu glanced at Lao Zhang, saw him pushing his glasses, glanced at him squintly, quickly retreated and returned to his room opposite.

"Dad, what are you talking nonsense? Have you drunk too much?" he asked in a low voice.

"Say one more thing? You have lived with Xiaonan and you still don't admit it. Xu Shu, I tell you, if you dare to do anything to her, you really don't want to live! Hurry up, you propose to me, and I'll hold your wedding as soon as possible!"

Xu Shu said: "Dad, I'm so eager. If you ask her to nod, I'll get married soon tomorrow. The problem is that she doesn't like me! You don't know what living together? It's better to live together. I've only touched her hands now! It's still a handshake for meeting and work! Do you understand?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

"I just know!"

An angry and contemptuous voice suddenly came from my ears: "I thought you suddenly had a future. Useless thing! I said, just like you, how could Xiaonan be with you?"

Xu Shu was depressed: "Dad, why are you talking like this? I am your son at least. You don't encourage me, and you scold me every day. What do you think of me if you let Xiaonan know?"

Xu Zhenzhong sneered: "I scold you like this every day. If I don't scold you, don't you go to heaven? You have been a gangster since you were a child, Xiaonan still doesn't know? I'm still trying to expose my shortcomings?"

Xu Shu couldn't refute, so he had to beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, my fault, you can scold me if you want, just be happy. But Dad, where did you hear me saying that Xiaonan and I live together?"

Xu Zhenzhong snorted: "Just just now, Lao Fang from the autonomous region called me. After talking about the main business, he asked you and Xiaonan when they would hold a wedding banquet, and told me to call him at that time. I asked him where the news came from. He said that last week, at five or six o'clock in the morning, he called you. It was Xiaonan who answered it for you. You seem to be in the bathroom. Isn't this cohabitation? What's your name?"

Xu Shu was stunned, then he understood and quickly explained.

"...Dad, don't get me wrong with Xiaonan. Although I really want this to happen to your son, it's impossible. She doesn't like me."

On the phone, the other end of the phone called the father and said, "It's indeed a useless thing! You are not convinced when you said you just now. It's all like this, you still..."

He paused.

"Forget it! I'm so happy that I was in vain. I was embarrassed by Xiaonan just now! Xiaonan probably thought I was drunk. I don't expect you to marry her into the house as your daughter-in-law. Do your work well below me. If something goes wrong and loses my face, I will peel you off!"

With a "bang", my father hung up the phone.

Xu Shu's ear was sore and rubbed it. He thought that she would go back tomorrow and that she had no reason to follow her this time, and there was something to do here and she couldn't leave. When the construction began, even if the design institute would send her here, it would be a few months at the earliest. Her mother strongly opposed her current work, and I'm afraid she would never come back again when she went there.

Xu Shu didn't take off his clothes, he leaned on the bed, pillowed his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling, and was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering his father's words just now, as if he had contacted her before calling him.

Although she didn't know what her father said to her, she probably heard all the inexplicable words and didn't know what she would think of herself.

Xu Shu was even more depressed.

At eleven o'clock, Zhao Nanxiao packed up and went to bed to go to bed.

This small county town located in the valley at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is very quiet at night. Now it is almost midnight, and everything is silent, and there is no sound in my ears.

She lay on the pillow and read a few pages of books on the bedside lamp. Suddenly she remembered the strange call she received at night.

Now that I think about it carefully, Uncle Xu's tone, every word, sounds like he thought he was a couple with his son Xu Shu.

Uncle Xu is so busy, why did he suddenly have this idea and call him to chat with him for nothing?

The more Zhao Nanxiao thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and his sleepiness flew away.

After thinking about it, it seems that the only problem lies with Xu Shu.

Could it be that he was talking nonsense in front of his father?

Zhao Nanxiao suddenly felt very awkward. He immediately picked up his phone and wanted to send him a WeChat message to question him. After typing a bunch of words, when he was about to send, his fingers stayed above the sending button and hesitated again.

If it has nothing to do with him, wouldn’t it be boring and embarrassing to ask him like this?

There is still a last day tomorrow, and we will meet again.

Zhao Nanxiao deleted the message again. She threw down her phone, turned off the desk lamp, and was about to go to bed when the screen of the phone suddenly lit up.

She picked it up.

A new message.

It was a coincidence that it was sent by the person she noted as "xwbd".

"Are you asleep?"
