"Jiang Chen, do you prefer a younger brother or a younger sister?"

He Qianjian turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, and when his eyes swept over He Qianmin and He Qianyu, there was some deep meaning in his eyes, but his tone was not inappropriate at all.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes, he caught He Qianyu's expectant look from the corner of his eye, and said calmly: "Our family doesn't practice patriarchy or patriarchy. As long as it's my younger brother or my younger sister, I naturally like them."

He Qianjian didn't know if Jiang Chen really didn't understand the meaning of his words or if he was trying to make a fool of himself. The trap he threw was not stepped on. He was a bit unwilling, chatting like a friend, he asked with a smile: " That being said, there is always someone I like more, as long as you are human, you will have an emotional bias, so it doesn’t matter if you talk about it.”

He Qianmin's face turned cold, and he wanted to explode, but he thought that this was the Jiang family, and He Qianjian's identity was really special, so he just sullen his face in the end.

"Brother Qianjian." He Qianyu propped his hands on both sides of the sofa, leaned forward, looked at He Qianjian, with a puzzled expression: "Do all people have emotional tendencies?"

He Qianjian said: "Of course."

He Qianyu's tone was innocent: "Then do you like father or mother more?"

He Qianjian choked and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.

He Yanya glanced at He Qianjian, frowned, and looked down at his watch: "It's getting late, we have to go back."

Yang Si nodded and didn't hold back, she just got up and said, "Then I'll see you off."

After He Yanya and the others left, Yang Sicai shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything. It was almost twelve o'clock at this time, and there were fireworks blooming outside the window in the dark night. With the sound of the program of the Spring Festival Gala, the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong.

The whole family went to the balcony on the second floor. Yang Si looked at the fireworks in the night sky and the children playing downstairs, supported his stomach and said, "The new year is about to begin."

Jiang Zhuo put on a coat for her, and said with a smile, "Yes, this year has passed, and our family will get better and better."

Jiang Chen raised his eyes, staring fixedly at the simple but still gorgeous fireworks in the sky, his phone buzzing and vibrating in his pocket. I took it out and saw that it was a message from the small group and other friends on the list. Without exception, Happy New Years.

Glancing at the time, he realized that they had missed the most exciting countdown to the Spring Festival Gala during the time spent watching the fireworks. Jiang Chen turned his head to look at his parents: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year."

Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo were also taken aback for a moment, and they all laughed in response: "Happy New Year, son."

Although Wugu Village is not as cold as the urban area of ​​Yanshi City, the cold wind is still chilly at night, and Yang Si is still an elderly pregnant woman. Both Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhuo are worried about her health. After standing on the balcony for a while, they all went back to the living room, chatting for a while, she Feeling sleepy, Jiang Zhuo and his son naturally went back to their rooms.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Chen was chatting with Shen Xuhuobo one after another. The sound of fireworks exploding outside the window had gradually weakened, and the sound of children laughing and playing had also quieted down. He walked to the computer , After turning on the computer, I suddenly didn't know what to do.

I promised my parents that I would take a good rest on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and not work, but turning on the computer before going to bed has become an instinct, and work is one of the things I must do before going to sleep.

"Yangtze River." Jiang Chen said softly, "Happy New Year."

Changjiang quickly responded, still with a cold electronic voice with electric current, but I don't know if it was due to psychological reasons, it seemed to be a little warmer: "Happy New Year, Dylan."

In a trance, Jiang Chen seemed to have returned to the heavily guarded but cold apartment in his previous life. At that time, the Federation had long since lost its country. Human beings of all nationalities and skin colors and even other races from other planets lived together, celebrating festivals in various countries. They all had a rough time.

Whenever the New Year comes, only the Yangtze River is with him. He is used to working during the New Year, but he will also say Happy New Year to it on this day every year. It was like a routine, but also like a kind of nostalgia. It was not until today that he finally returned to his relatives who could wish each other a happy new year. This feeling is really different.

Jiang Chen smiled, opened a webpage randomly, and saw the local social news saying that someone was poisoned during the New Year's Eve dinner, and when the whole family was admitted to the hospital, he picked up his phone for some reason and opened the chat software.

The chat software just entered the page, and the phone screen went over, and the caller ID was exactly the person he was looking for.

Jiang Chen paused, and suddenly there was a smile in his eyes that he didn't even notice, and he answered the phone: "Happy New Year."

Shi Fengyue laughed, his voice seemed to be able to affect the vibration on the other end of the phone through the electric current, Jiang Chen changed his hand and stood up: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing that you answered the phone so quickly, are you waiting for me to say Happy New Year to you?" His voice was low and deep, as if it had been deliberately lowered again, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his laughter, as if he was nestled after completely relaxing. Lazy idleness on the sofa hugging a pillow.

"I'm indeed about to send you a message." Hearing his voice, Jiang Chen paused, and asked, "You just woke up? Didn't keep the old age?"

"No." Shi Fengyue said: "There were two surgeries in the afternoon, and I got home in the evening. I went to bed after eating with my grandfather and uncle."

During the Chinese New Year holidays, most industries can take a break, but there are also many industries that cannot take a holiday, and doctors are one of them.

"Why are you awake now?"

"I was woken up by the sound of fireworks in the compound." Shi Fengyue said with a smile hidden in his voice, "I closed the window and planned to continue sleeping, but I didn't expect to say Happy New Year to you, so I picked up the phone again."

Jiang Chen smiled: "I heard your blessing, you can continue to sleep."

"I haven't said it yet, why did you hear it?" Shi Fengyue asked him with a smile.

Jiang Chen thought for a while, just now Shi Fengyue said the four words "Happy New Year" several times, but it seems that he never said it formally to him.

"Happy New Year, Jiang Chen."

Shi Fengyue's voice was a little softer than before, and the less hoarse voice seemed to be a little more serious, inexplicably making people hear something serious.

Jiang Chen paused, and curled his lips: "Thank you."

"Won't you wish me a happy new year?"

"Didn't I say it before?" Jiang Chen could imagine Shi Fengyue's dissatisfaction with raising his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth smiled a little deeper, but he still said, "Happy New Year."

After hanging up the phone, I suddenly felt that I could fall asleep without working. Jiang Chen didn't turn off the computer, lay back on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.

After the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Chen will go back to work in the research institute. After getting along several times in the past half month, Yang Si's impression of He Qianjian dropped again and again, to the point where he would deliberately avoid bumping into He Qianjian while walking. But apart from He Qianjian, Yang Si unexpectedly had a good impression of He Yanya, and said to him: "I heard that Aunt Qian Min is also doing research, and I felt it when I saw her last time. She is an intellectual. Wen Jing is pretty and doesn't talk much, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask Qian Min's aunt."

Jiang Chen laughed. He didn't tell Yang Si that he and He Yanya were in completely different fields of research, and they couldn't get along, let alone discuss each other. He just smiled and got into the car that came to pick him up from the research institute, and continued before Unfinished words: "Call me if you feel uncomfortable, I will always turn it on, and I told you the function of every switch in the house before, if you think you have to..."

"Hey, why is this necessary?" Yang Si complained and interrupted him, but her eyes were full of smiles: "It's still early before the due date, don't learn from your father, he is now eager to watch me every step of the way 24 hours a day If you don’t leave, you have to call me a few times to go to the toilet.”

When the words fell to the ground, Jiang Zhuo's voice came out: "Honey! Has the son gotten in the car yet? Have you come in yet?"

Yang Si shook his head helplessly at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen also felt a little funny when he saw his father trotting out to check the situation. Even Qian Yi who came to pick him up couldn't help laughing.

When we arrived at the research institute, the atmosphere of the New Year was swept away. Everyone put aside the leisure of the holidays and devoted themselves to intense and research experiments.

Jiang Chen's project team was just set up a few years ago, and the project deadline and progress were very good, so they took a few days off for the New Year. However, there are also many research institutes that don't rest at all during the New Year, such as the navigation team.

They seemed to have encountered some difficulties. When eating in the cafeteria at noon, Jiang Chen heard Yu Yiheren from the same project team discussing this matter: "Is there really no way to fix it?"

The man shook his head: "Now we haven't found out which part of the problem is wrong. The new assistant researcher left the laboratory that day and didn't record the data. Our efforts for more than a year are all in vain. We can only start over again. .”

"Did you just give up like this?" Yu Yi frowned, she seemed to have a good relationship with the girl next to her, or maybe she was aware of the seriousness of this matter, and her tone, which was always neat and calm, was full of worry: "The higher-ups will definitely chase after you." responsibility."

"I'm not afraid of being held accountable anymore." The girl lowered her head: "It's just that this is our painstaking effort for more than a year, and it was ruined just like that. Our leader knew about it, locked himself in the laboratory and still hasn't come out..."

Jiang Chen listened silently for a while, only to realize that during the New Year's Eve, the navigation team had a problem with some of the instruments, which led to the suspension of their project, which was already in the final stage. The assistant researcher who was on duty when the problem happened No, so I don't even know what caused the problem, but the chip on the instrument is the core of this research. If the chip is destroyed, their project is basically ruined.

Not only Jiang Chen was listening to their conversation, but Zhang Lei at the same table was also listening. Seeing Yu Yi gently pat the girl's back to comfort him, he glanced at Jiang Chen who was eating with his eyes downcast, and suddenly chuckled: "Why can't I help you?" , if I remember correctly, your project is based on the N1571 patent. The owner of the patent is Shi Fengyue. Come here, even if you can't save your chips, at least you should be able to find the cause of the equipment failure."

The girl raised her head, but she didn't cry, but her face was very haggard: "But Shi Fengyue is so difficult to hire, the whole research institute knows that we haven't thought of this method, but can he come?"

"If you can't invite me, it doesn't mean others can't invite you." Zhang Lei pouted hard in Jiang Chen's direction, "Here, the leader of our project team, like Shi Fengyue, is a genius scientist who is rare in a century. The circles naturally overlap, and the two of them are friends, if he came forward, he would definitely be able to invite Shi Fengyue."

Jiang Chen raised his eyes, Zhang Lei smiled provocatively, and said word by word: "I'm right, team leader."
