I really just want to be a scholar

Ning Qingyun pressed on the back of Qin Ke's hand and whispered: "I don't know why I remembered the past."

She did remember a lot of past events.

She thought of her lonely childhood, and of the countless nights when she was a child, looking at the photo of the three of her parents with her, then she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and wrote this in Ultraman Tiga's diary. A time to encourage yourself with words of encouragement.

When she was a child, she only knew that her parents were doing very important work. She forced herself to "understand" her parents' choices in a sensible way, and immersed herself in studying in order to be able to engage in scientific research with her parents in the future, turning a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window. .

But seeing other children being pampered and accompanied by their parents when they go out to play, and other little girls riding on their father's shoulders or jumping into their mother's arms to act like a spoiled child, how could Xiao Ning Qingyun not feel bitter in her heart? And sadness and resentment towards parents?

It wasn't until the age of sixteen that Qin Ke's appearance illuminated her stubborn and lonely life. Ning Qingyun's attachment and resentment towards her parents slowly faded away, but the knot in her heart always existed. Later, her parents He came back to attend her wedding, and even made a special trip back when Xiaoxiaozhengzheng was born, but the knot in his heart could not be completely eliminated.

Deep down in her heart, she has always wanted to know the answer - that is, "what" is more important than her daughter, more important than staying with her elderly parents to fulfill her filial piety, and being with her young daughter to take care of her growth?

But her father never told her, and neither did her mother.

Ning Qingyun himself almost gave up on finding this answer.

But now she suddenly knew the answer - it turned out that her father and mother left without hesitation and had not returned home for more than ten years because of a very great research and in order to save mankind in the event of a world-level catastrophe. Civilization continues the future of mankind.

The answer that she once wanted to know so much but no longer sought after suddenly appeared in front of her, reawakening many of Ning Qingyun's dusty memories.

Ning Qingyun didn't understand how she was feeling at the moment. She could only say that she had mixed feelings.

Qin Ke hugged her gently from behind: "Is it because Uncle Yang mentioned tonight about the content of your parents' research?"

Feeling Qin Ke's body temperature surrounding her, like the warm sun in winter, gave Ning Qingyun a sense of dependence like a backbone in her heart. She leaned into Qin Ke's arms with attachment and nodded gently: "I don't even have it. I know what expression to show now. Mom and Dad are great, but I still can’t convince myself..."

She thought of her parents, whom she had not seen for more than a year, and their haggard faces and unyielding fighting spirit. She felt proud, distressed, and at the same time a little confused.

If it were her, would she make the same choice as her parents?

Ning Qingyun's answer is - no.

I don’t know whether it was because she had been with Qin Ke for a long time and was influenced by his values ​​​​that “family always comes first”, or because she regretted not having her parents with her during her childhood and girlhood, which made her subconsciously unwilling to repeat this lack of maternal love. The tragedy lies with the children. At least at this time, Ning Qingyun will never abandon her two children and go to a distant place to immerse herself in scientific research work for a long time without returning home.

She went to the United States in November and didn't see her two babies for more than 11 days. She missed her so much that she had to video chat with her two babies through Qin Xiaoke every day, or read Qin Xiaoke's messages. photos and videos to ease the feeling of missing you.

If it weren't for the drastic weather changes during the "Little Ice Age", the fact that a baby over one year old has weak immunity and is prone to getting sick, and it is difficult to adapt to ultra-long-distance travel, Ning Qingyun would definitely take the two babies with him. .

She really loves her two children. Except for Qin Ke, their status is better than anyone or anything.

It is precisely because she loves her children very much, and precisely because she has made such a choice, that she unconsciously compares herself with the choices her parents made, and then thinks with some disappointment - no matter what, her parents love work and love. Mission, even more than loving her.

This was a thought rooted in her heart that she could not convince herself to completely eliminate. Even if she knew that her parents were engaged in the greatest scientific research for the future of mankind, she could not change this.

Listening to Ning Qingyun express the confusion in his heart in a soft tone, Qin Ke hugged her tightly.

A simple and powerful hug at this time is worth a thousand words.

Feeling that Ning Qingyun's somewhat stiff body had regained its softness and relaxation, Qin Kecai chuckled and said, "Actually, you should change your mind."

"Huh?" Ning Qingyun turned around and blinked.

"If your parents didn't participate in this research work because of you, what would they do to protect you if a world-level catastrophe really happened and humanity faced annihilation?"

Ning Qingyun was stunned.

"I think they must have thought a lot when they were in danger, especially the worst-case scenario. They must have thought that instead of staying out of the situation, they would be helpless and painfully watching the colorful life of their baby daughter when the disaster came. It's better to get involved and take the initiative. At least we can know whether the world's catastrophe will come, and we can control the research progress of 'Noah's Ark'."

"Taking a step back, as core scientific researchers, when a catastrophe does occur, they should be able to get special treatment for their families, allowing you to be one of the first people to board 'Noah's Ark'. They left It’s not that your family doesn’t love you, on the contrary, they love you very much, and they want to do their best to protect you and protect your future, so that you can still live well even in the catastrophe of human destruction.”

"For this reason, they did not hesitate to suppress the longing for you in their hearts and devoted themselves to research against time, because from a large level, 'Noah's Ark' is related to human beings and the continuation of Xia's civilization and race. It is more about the safety and future life of my precious daughter."

"Being able to stay with your child and witness her growth is every parent's wish and happiness."

"But just as the text we learned in junior high school, "The Empress Dowager Zhao" said, parents love their children for far-reaching reasons. For your future, they would rather give up all this, give up their lives, give up Their freedom, giving up their happiness of growing up with you, and even giving up their health... You are everything to them... How much they love you, Jun'er, can you understand now?"

Hearing this, Ning Qingyun had already burst into tears, and the depression in her heart finally broke. She hugged Qin Ke and burst into tears.

Qin Ke patted her back gently, waited for her to calm down, and then used a tissue to wipe away her tears: "Okay, okay, you should be happy when you think about it, right?"

Ning Qingyun nodded, her eyes were red and swollen, she took out her phone and pressed the screen quickly.

"Mom and Dad, I love you." I don't know when my parents who are far away will see this text message, but after the text message was sent, Ning Qingyun felt lighter than ever before.

Qin Ke gently kissed Ning Qingyun's smooth and jade-like face: "Don't worry, as long as we can solve the problem of global climate change, my parents can relieve their burden and go home."

"Yes." Ning Qingyun nodded vigorously, and then stared at Qin Ke's side face with her shining eyes.

Under the warm yellow incandescent light, Qin Ke's profile is still as young and handsome as that of eighteen or nineteen years old, and seems to have the power to warm people's hearts.

Qin Ke smiled and said, "Why are you staring at me and thinking your husband is so handsome?"

Ning Qingyun pursed her pink lips and smiled softly. She just wanted to take a good look at the person she loved most, and take a good look at this person who would always be by her side and hold her like this no matter how much time passed or how many years passed. Qin Xiaoke is the only one who moves forward on his own.

It's great to meet you, it's great to be with you.

"Husband~"

"Huh?" Ning Qingyun's voice is so sweet and cute, like a coquettish cat, especially her beautiful and delicate face showing a charming look. Even though Qin Ke has a strong resistance to her, The bones are still a little soft at this point.

Ning Qingyun winked playfully: "It's okay, I just wanted to call you."

"Then you bark more, I love to hear you. Not only do I love to hear you, I also love to kiss you."

"ah--!"

……

After finally taking three days to digest and integrate all the god-level physics knowledge, Qin Ke took another day to arrange various matters. Then on December 12, he and Ning Qingyun left the capital again. Set off for Stockholm, Sweden, to attend the Nobel Prize award ceremony.

In fact, although it is indeed a great honor to win the Nobel Prize for the third time, if they traveled so far just to win a prize, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun would most likely choose not to go and let the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences send the medal certificate. Send it over, or wait until you have the opportunity to pick it up in the future - with their current international reputation, even if they make such a move, there won't be much criticism, and instead they will be regarded as a model of focusing on research work.

However, the main purpose of their trip to Europe is not to attend the award ceremony, but to have a big meeting with the European Meteorological Center and the entire European scientific research community, and to talk about in-depth cooperation with the most important observatory in Europe, the European Southern Observatory. .

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is the most famous international astronomical institution. It mainly studies stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, various cosmic rays and other fields. It has a large number of advanced astronomical telescopes and cosmic monitoring equipment. The level of cosmic monitoring research is at The world ranking is even higher than NASA.

It also has the world's largest astronomical telescope "E-ELT", which is the "European Extremely Large Telescope". Its main mirror has a diameter of 39 meters and is made up of nearly 800 hexagonal small lenses. Its clarity is better than that of Harbin. The Bo Space Telescope is sixteen times taller.

Now Qin Ke wants to study the sun's activities and rays. It is no longer enough to rely on the data provided by the meteorological centers of various countries. He must rely on the full cooperation of several top observatories.

The cooperation with NASA in the United States was concluded last month. NASA will fully support Qin Ke’s research work on solar anomalies and the distance between the earth and the sun. The European Southern Observatory also expressed its willingness to cooperate with Qin Ke. However, considering the special status and huge data of the European Southern Observatory, Qin Ke still believed that it was necessary to go to Europe in person to obtain the right to use all its monitoring data related to the sun. It would be best if the team of astronomers from the European Southern Observatory fully cooperates with him in his research.

Compared with the huge scale of the dozens of people they brought with them when they went to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Peace Prize two years ago, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun chose to keep a low profile this time, and the number of accompanying relatives and friends was reduced to the extreme.

After all, going there to receive the award is just a "chance". The key is to go to work. Such bad weather is not suitable for outings. You can't invite a large group of relatives and friends to brave the cold to Stockholm and then stay in a hotel for a week and then fly back. ?

However, parents and grandfather had to be called, and Qin Xiaoke and the two babies finally decided to take them with them. After Wei Feng learned about Qin Kening and Qingyun's idea of ​​bringing the two babies, he made a suggestion to his superiors. Application.

After careful research, a medical team consisting of five top professors of pediatrics, general practice, and a professional medical vehicle was finally arranged to accompany Qin Ke and others abroad. Careful arrangements were made for each trip to ensure that they did their best. We work hard to ensure the health and safety of Qin Ke’s family.

Ning Qingyun was happiest when she learned that she could take her two babies abroad with her. She really couldn't bear to leave her two babies for so long. She was just worried that the child's body would not be able to withstand the more than ten hours of flight. Now that the medical team is patting their chests to ensure that the two babies will receive the best care throughout the entire process, she feels relieved.

The family first took a special train back to Yuanzhou and picked up father Qin Yanghui, mother Shen Qiuyi and grandfather Shen Tieshan.

Qin Yanghui and Shen Qiuyi have been staying in Yuanzhou to accompany Ning Jingguang and Chu Mimei. They have not seen their two granddaughters and grandchildren for more than a month. They are very excited to go abroad together this time.

As for grandpa Ning Jingguang and grandma Chu Mimei, they just smiled with joy and wished everyone a safe journey. They have a dedicated nursing team to take care of them in Yuanzhou. Even if Yuanzhou is also freezing and snowy, there is no need to worry about their physical condition and safety.

After staying in Yuanzhou for one night, chatting and joking with their grandparents, the next day on December 12, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun took their families to a first-tier city in the south by special train again, and then took a special plane to fly to Stockholm.

Now the super cold air mass of the "Little Ice Age" is constantly increasing, and the lowest temperature in the north has dropped again and again. However, the south has endured much less snow disasters than the north, and flights have basically remained normal. Although they have taken a long detour, they can still Maximize flight safety and comfort.

Various appropriate arrangements were made on the special plane, including soft beds for children and various toys and snacks, as well as careful care by a pediatrician. Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng except for a brief period of ear discomfort during takeoff and landing. , having a great time throughout the whole process.

On the morning of December 12, the flight arrived in Stockholm.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun once again set foot on a foreign land. But this time with their families by their side, they are more calm, more confident, and more determined to move forward. (End of chapter)
