Soon, the two of them walked into the cadre school gate together.

"Hongyi, why are you back?"

Xiao Yawen, who was busy in the cafeteria, was surprised and happy to see his son.

"Has the mission over there been completed?"

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Not yet. I'll be busy for at least a few months. I took a leave of absence to come back... Isn't Dad's birthday tomorrow?"

Xiao Yawen said happily: "Hey, kid, you actually still remember your father's birthday?"

The couple has only one son. To be honest, they spoiled him quite a bit when he was young, and were afraid that he would raise an ungrateful child. Now that he hears that his son is so filial, Xiao Yawen is naturally very relieved.

Liu Hongyi glanced at Ai Xiaoyu beside him and said honestly, "Mom, to be honest, I really don't remember. It was Ai Xiaoyu who wrote to remind me. The work at the research institute is indeed a bit busy..."

There is no other way but to force myself to wash it.

Xiao Yawen didn't blame him at all. Instead, he said in surprise: "Xiaoyu told you? Xiaoyu, how did you know?"

Ai Xiaoyu's face had already turned red with embarrassment. She twisted the corner of her clothes and said shyly, "Aunt Xiao, didn't you tell me a few days ago? You also told me not to tell Liu Hongyi about this, for fear that it would affect his work..."

"Oh, I remember now. I did say that. So how did you..."

Xiao Yawen swallowed his words halfway through and looked at Ai Xiaoyu, looking happy no matter how he looked at her.

It seems that Xiao Yawen has set his sights on this "daughter-in-law".

"Auntie Xiao, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to feed the rabbits..."

Ai Xiaoyu was so ashamed that she stamped her feet, turned around and ran away.

The problem is, the bamboo basket is still on Liu Hongyi's shoulder. What are you going to use to feed the little rabbit?

Xiao Yawen urged his son with a smile: "Hongyi, go quickly and help Xiaoyu feed the rabbits. I'll call you to eat later..."

At night, in the bungalow where Liu Chuan lived.

After dinner, the family of three sat and chatted under the dim light.

The weather was hot, and Xiao Yawen held a large palm-leaf fan in his hand and kept fanning Liu Hongyi.

Even Liu Chuan, the top leader, didn't have an electric fan at home, given the conditions at the cadre school. He did have a ceiling fan in his office, but Yin Lingshan's home was the only one in the entire cadre school to have one.

People like Deputy Director Yin never treat themselves badly.

When they chatted among themselves, they mainly asked about Liu Hongyi's work in the research institute. Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen both revealed a hint of worry in their words. They were mainly afraid that Liu Hongyi would not be able to keep up with the progress, drag down the entire research team, and make it difficult for Tan Dexi.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry about this. It won't be delayed."

"Now, they all call me Teacher Liu."

In front of his parents, Liu Hongyi wasn't too modest. Wouldn't it be nice to say he was very capable and make his parents happy?

He then talked about the bet between Jin Yunfeng and himself.

Xiao Yawen said admiringly: "My son Hongyi is very smart and has good academic performance. From childhood to adulthood, he has always ranked first in the grade."

In her opinion, working in a research institute is also about "doing problems".

As a pioneer of "small town test-takers", Liu Hongyi has indeed been praised by teachers and parents since he was a child.

A typical "other people's child".

Liu Chuan's perspective was naturally different, and he immediately warned, "Hongyi, don't be too proud. Also, that Jin Yunfeng might be a playboy. You've offended him, so be careful and don't let him retaliate against you."

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about that. Jin Yunfeng isn't a bad guy. I've been dealing with him for over a month, and he's actually quite good. He comes from a well-off family, and his parents are both leading cadres. They were persecuted a few years ago, but were later liberated and joined the Revolutionary Committee."

"Jin Yunfeng is a little arrogant, but he's also very loyal, generous, and loves making friends."

"Besides, he's quite competitive. He knows his professional skills aren't very high, so over the past month or so, he's been more motivated to improve. He pesters me every day to teach him how to solve equations, and he's making rapid progress."
