Chapter 2

The atmosphere at home was strange. Chen Tong wanted to go to school early. The things were almost done, but he didn't know that his notebook broke.

Call Lu Xin, it's as busy as ever. Tongtong, mom is busy now. I'll ask Li Si to accompany you to choose a computer in the afternoon, so I'll hang up Ah first.

Li Si is one of Lu Xin's secretary. Chen Tong has many things in his study and life, and he should have taken care of. He should have been used to it, but this time Chen Tong felt lost.

Chen Tong thought about it, changed his clothes, said hello to Yu Shenli in the living room, and left the door without waiting for a reply, in a hurry.

I took a taxi to the provincial and local diversion hospital. The trees here are thick, but the buildings are very old, with no tall buildings, and they don’t look big.

In the courtyard, on the right is the Provincial Geophysical Geochemical Exploration Institute. The name is very grand. What is inconsistent with it is that the door sign with black letters on white background is too narrow.

Chen Tong remembers that he came here when he was a child. Although he didn't know much literacy at that time, he already had a vague sense of the unit.

The guard stopped her and asked her who she was looking for.

I'm looking for my dad, Shen Shi.

Oh, it’s a child from a senior engineer. I heard that I’ve passed the Qingfei exam, which is really amazing.In this way, call your dad and ask him to tell me.

As a child of a working engineer, Chen Tong was very happy to be discussed here. He thought that his father was not isolated from the fireworks of the world, so he was willing to talk about family affairs to outsiders, so he did as he did and called his cell phone, Dad.I have something to come to you. Outside your unit, the guardian asked me to call you.

...Obviously I didn't expect her to come over there, Tongtong, please give the phone to the doorman.

Chen Tong took back his phone, but it hadn't hung up there yet, Dad.

Tongtong, dad’s office is in Room 308, the third floor of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Engineering, the building on the right side of the gate.

When he approached the Institute of Physical and Chemical, Chen Tong naturally felt awe and felt a little timid.My mother's company is much more generous than here, and she has never been so restrained when she goes there.

Room 308 is an independent office. Judging from the office conditions here, my father should be an important figure in the unit.

In front of the workbench, Chen Shi's shirt's sleeves are half-rolled, and her long joints are adjusted to the microscope. She bent over to observe, her figure is clean and soft, completely immersed in the work and the full sunshine fainting outside the window, and the picture is like forgetting both favors and disgraces.

The door was open, and Chen Tong didn't dare to knock it rashly.

After a while, Chen Shi picked up the phone on the side and looked at the time. He probably thought about why Chen Tong hadn't come up yet. When he looked up, he found that the person was already standing at the door.

Just as his eyes met, Chen Tong's consciousness shrank and he quickly turned his eyes open. What should I say?I felt awkward.

Chen Shi treated her as a guest, received her politely, brought her into her seat, and poured her a glass of water.

Chen Tong held the water cup in his hand restrainedly, but his eyes were looking at her father's office smoothly. His eyes finally fixed on a shelf of stones, full of curiosity.

Those are stone specimens brought back from the wild.

Seeing that Chen Tong was interested, Chen Shi got up and went to the specimen holder, took a stone from the second floor, and said to Chen Tong who was following him, "Look, this is emerald."

Look at the greenness wrapped in the stone, it is less and turbid, and not at all bright and moist.

Chen Shixiao, this is just a raw stone, which needs to be carefully classified and cut later to become jewelry.

After putting back the emerald, Chen Shi talked about the inconspicuous stones again. Only then did Chen Tong realize that many of them were actually ores.

Her father talked in a casual manner, without the aura of lectures, nor was he fascinated by knowledge. He was fluent and light as clouds and water. In his calmness, Chen Tong felt his love for this career.

Finally, Chen Shi took out a light blue stone and pointed out the transparent blue spots on it. These were called blue stones. They were the first time my father took them out of the wild when he was working. They were made into jewelry and were also very beautiful.

The meaning of this stone to Chen Shi made Chen Tong feel moved. If it could be made into jewelry, it seemed that she would be vaguely concerned.
