Chapter 514 Guilty and Anxious
After Tang Banxia heard from Ji Xiaozhou what had happened in the past six months, she felt both heartbroken and guilty.
It turned out that after she left.
No one suspected it in the first month, but someone asked Wen Mubai in the second month.
The next day after being asked, Wen Mubai dislocated his arm and had to go home to recuperate. Tang Banxia naturally took leave and went home to take care of him.
Director Li originally said that Ji Xiaozhou was there and could take care of Wen Mubai, but Wen Mubai repeatedly expressed that he would rather go home and recuperate.
Director Li couldn't go against his wishes, so he had to agree.
Although Tang Banxia never showed up from beginning to end, Wen Mubai managed to get away with it by relying on his experience in completing missions in his early years.
Tang Banxia's heart felt like it was soaked in sour warm water.
This man!
"Professor Tang, why don't you ask Mr. Wen to come back? I don't do anything all day and I feel guilty about receiving a salary."
Looking at the entire living area, there is no other nanny as worry-free as him.
Tang Banxia comforted him: "This is an unexpected situation. We will need your time a lot more in the future."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'll give you a holiday. Go home and spend the New Year with your family, and then come back to work after the New Year."
Ji Xiaozhou opened his mouth to say something, but Tang Banxia waved his hand: "It's settled. Director Li, I'll go talk to him."
"Okay, thank you Professor Tang."
Tang Banxia walked into the house and took a look around. The house was spotless and all the snow on the roof had been swept clean.
Ji Xiaozhou is a very honest person. Even when she and Wen Mubai are not around, he is not idle. Instead, he helps the neighbors around him and does some heavy work.
Such as snow shoveling, repair tools and the like.
It has a good reputation in the living area.
Out of the ten sentences spoken by the neighbor I just met, three were about caring for Wen Mubai and four were about praising Ji Xiaozhou.
He is honest, so Tang Banxia can't be mean to him.
So after knocking on Director Li's office door, the first thing she said was, "Director Li, will Ji Xiaozhou's salary for the past three months be paid as usual?"
Director Li: “Yes.”
Tang Banxia nodded: "I was thinking, we are not away, it is not good for him to take the salary from the organization for nothing, I will make up for the salary for these three months."
"No, no, although Ji Xiaozhou didn't take care of you, he helped other professors a lot, so he was not idle." Director Li hurriedly explained.
Tang Banxia: "That's good. I was just afraid that some people would be dissatisfied."
Director Li waved his hand: "Nothing."
"That's fine. I came here this time to tell Director Li that I may have to come back to work after the New Year."
"No problem, Professor Tang, just go ahead and do what's convenient for you." Director Li was unexpectedly happy.
In fact, Director Li felt that being outside would help Tang Banxia think more.
Although Tang Banxia is the one who takes the most leave in the institute, she is also the most productive one.
There was no delay in my work because of taking leave.
Director Li has been in the research institute for many years and has seen professors with all kinds of personalities.
Moreover, drug research is different from physics and mathematics. It does not require a lot of calculations. The most important thing in drug research is the initiator's ideas or direction.
Once the direction is wrong, no matter how much medicinal materials are wasted, the correct result will not be achieved.
Tang Banxia was very grateful for his indulgence and took the initiative to talk to him about the progress of the project.
Although she seemed to have taken a leave, she was not idle for a minute. When she was in the mountains, she would change her mind when she got tired of studying.
As a result, she already has several new ideas at the research institute, and she just needs to experiment with them slowly.
When Tang Banxia came out from Director Li's place, she was carrying a lot of bags, which were New Year's benefits prepared by the research institute.
Comrade Xiao Niu came forward and took the things in his hands after seeing this: "Professor Tang, I'll do it."
Tang Banxia let go: "Let's go home."
"it is good."
On the way, Tang Banxia propped up his chin and looked out the window at the streets speeding by. He looked calm, but in fact he was very nervous.
It's easy to imagine that Xiaobai must be furious because she acted without authorization.
I also feel guilty.
She felt guilty that even when Wen Mubai was angry, he never forgot to cover up for her.
The two emotions intertwined together, making her feel homesick.
But no matter how timid you are, home is there.
The jeep slowly stopped at the door of her house. To her surprise, she was greeted by a guard at the door.
"Banxia, are you done?"
At a glance, Xiang Qing was carrying a basket with a large cabbage in it. She had come back from shopping: "Mom, where's Xiaobai?"
"He should have gone to the old house. Your sister Baizhi is pregnant. Since you are not here, he will wait for you to go to the old house and take care of her."
When Tang Banxia heard this, she felt even more guilty.
"Bai Zhi is pregnant?"
"It's been three months, but she worked too hard and the fetus is a little unstable. She took a leave and is recuperating in bed at the old house."
Tang Banxia knew nothing about it.
She waited for Xiang Qing to open the door, went to the kitchen with her to cook, and asked about what had happened during the past few months when she was away.
Xiang Qing told her that Wen Mubai said that his research had reached a critical moment and he was very busy, so busy that he didn't even have time to eat.
Wen Mubai said that he dislocated his arm without telling Tang Banxia. He didn't want to distract her, so he used the excuse of going to work and came back to live by himself.
Tang Banxia was almost overwhelmed by guilt.
What a caring husband.
"Mom, how is Xiaobai's arm? Is it better?"
"It's okay now. The doctor said I just need to stop lifting heavy objects." Xiang Qing complained while washing cabbage:
"What exactly does Mu Bai's company do? In just half a year, he injured not only his leg but also his arm. I asked him but he wouldn't tell me. Banxia, you have to persuade him to change jobs if he really can't make it. Health is more important."
Tang Banxia hummed: "I'll try to persuade him."
It would be a good idea to change Xiaobai's job. The Dragon Group is a place with too much hostility.
She was so confused at the time that in order to prevent Wen Mubai from focusing on other things, she actually believed her uncle's lies.
Looking back now, she always felt that her uncle-in-law had planned it.
After all, those who can join the Dragon Group have unquestionable loyalty to the country.
However, Tang Banxia was not afraid of doubt. In her heart, if Xiaobai liked her, then there was nothing wrong with him staying there. If he didn't like her, then he could change.
"Mom, where's Uncle Zhou? Will he come over for dinner tonight?"
"He's on a business trip and won't be here tonight."
"Business trip?"
"He's going to the South. They say it's some kind of field trip."
"oh oh."
In winter, the best thing to do is to eat a bowl of hot pot stew, pork belly, cabbage, vermicelli, tofu meatballs, paired with steaming big steamed buns, the taste of home comes to mind.
Tang Banxia has been busy since morning and has not eaten anything. When she smelled the fragrance coming from the pot, her stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Banxia, I'll serve you a bowl, you eat first."
"Wait a moment, I'll just eat two pieces of peach cake to fill my stomach."
Tang Banxia ate a piece of peach cake with hot water to relieve the burning sensation in her stomach, then walked out of the kitchen.
Just then, his eyes met with Wen Mubai who had just returned home.
The next second, Wen Mubai appeared in front of Tang Banxia: "Wife?"
