When Zhao Nanxiao arrived at the command office, the people inside had already astigmatized, and only Xu Zhenzhong was left, as if he was waiting for her.

"Uncle Xu, what are you asking for me?"

Zhao Nanxiao walked in and asked.

Xu Zhenzhong looked at his son who was following in. Seeing that he had no reaction at all, he had to speak: "You go out first and close the door!"

Xu Shu glanced at Zhao Nanxiao: "Dad, what are you going to say?"

"What I want to say to Xiaonan! Just go out!"

Xu Shu said oh, then reluctantly retreated and closed the door.

"Xiao Nan, you can sit there casually."

Looking at Zhao Nanxiao, Xu Zhenzhong's face immediately filled with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Zhao Nanxiao sat down.

"Xiao Nan, call you over. The first thing is to thank you. Since childhood, your influence and help to Xu Shu is far better than that of me, a father. Now that you accept him again, you will be my daughter-in-law. I am really very happy. Thank you and also trouble you. In the future, I will entrust him to you. Life is long, but I feel relieved that he will suffer if he has you with you. Remember my words, don't be polite. In the future, he will just teach you a lesson. If he dares to treat you badly, you must tell me immediately, I..."

Zhao Nanxiao instinctively felt that Uncle Xu was about to say "I broke his leg", just like Xu Shu did when he was in junior high school many years ago.

Fortunately, he paused for a moment and showed the most affectionate smile on his face: "I will teach him a lesson for you!"

Zhao Nanxiao could feel Uncle Xu’s sincere love and love for him. He was a little shy when he said this, but he was more moved: "Uncle Xu, don’t worry, Xu Shu is already very good. I don’t have any place to do so, and we will help each other in the future."

"Yes, yes, you're right. You support each other and make progress together!"

Xu Zhenzhong was obviously very satisfied with her answer and nodded several times.

He just said the first thing, and of course there is something else.

Zhao Nanxiao waited for him to continue talking.

Xu Zhenzhong continued: "The second thing is also related to Xu Shu."

He smiled and said, "Xiao Nan, Xu Shu has been considering resigning since last year. I told me why he had this idea. He told me that he didn't want to do it anymore. I felt that he was irresponsible. He was very angry at the time and criticized him. Later, I thought about it and let it go. Now he is still working. I thought he had changed his mind. Until Lao Ding talked to him a few days ago. I heard Lao Ding's meaning, but he still didn't give a positive answer. I knew he wouldn't tell me even if he had something to do, so I didn't ask him anymore. I wanted to ask you, do you know what he was thinking about this?"

Zhao Nanxiao was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Xu Shu was still so hiding in front of his father. He didn't say that it was because of his mother. Seeing him looking at him, he hesitated and decided to tell him frankly.

After hearing this, Xu Zhenzhong was surprised and immediately blamed himself: "I blame me for being too careless. I should have come to ask you earlier. It turns out that your mother has such concerns..."

"I'm sorry Uncle Xu, because of my mother, Xu Shu is so embarrassed..."

Zhao Nanxiao felt a little ashamed.

"But uncle, don't worry, I'm planning to take this opportunity to talk to my mother about this matter...

"No, Xiaonan, you misunderstood. Uncle has no worries. You don't have to say sorry, let alone feel so sorry."

Xu Zhenzhong immediately comforted her.

"Actually, as soon as you said this, uncle will understand. Uncle can fully understand your mother's mood and thoughts. Moreover, she came this time. Not only did she come over, but she also agreed to the marriage. It can be seen that your mother has given up on this matter. Uncle is very grateful to her for giving me and Xu Shu face. Don't urge her for Xu Shu's sake, and bring any unnecessary pressure to her."

He was sitting, but now he stood up, walked to the window, looked out at the distant mountains outside, and looked at the back as if he was in a kind of contemplation.

Zhao Nanxiao did not dare to disturb him, so he stood up and looked at him quietly. After a while, he turned around and said, "Shu has promised your mother so before, and now the bridge has already been linked. Your mother has not mentioned it anymore and has agreed to the marriage. Then Xu Shu should go back as he had promised before-"

"Uncle Xu!"

Zhao Nanxiao was a little anxious and interrupted him without caring about politeness.

Xu Zhenzhong smiled, waved his hand, signaled her to rest, and continued, "But before Xu Shu went back, I had an idea. Xiaonan, can you help your uncle ask your mother if she wants to see the bridge where your father worked last during his lifetime?"

Zhao Nanxiao was stunned.

As far as she knows, it was also a railway bridge located deep in the mountains. After the mudslide accident caused by the earthquake, the nearby geology was considered no longer suitable for building bridges and roads, and the entire project was stopped by the local government and the original development unit. When my father had just had an accident, she and her mother had also arrived nearby, but they were unable to enter because there was no road.

After so many years, she thought that the unfinished bridge must have been covered with weeds and turned into ruins in the deep mountains.

But she heard Uncle Xu say: "A few years later, under my leadership, I cooperated with the local government again to organize personnel surveys, redesign and plan the route. The project was taken over by our group and obtained a work report. Finally, on the original bridge site, the bridge that your father originally wanted to build was completed. It has been several years since it was opened to traffic. Your grandfather also knew about it, and with his strong support, he overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally completed the bridge."

"The reason why uncle did this is because he knew your father. The bridge he worked for and gave his precious life. Whenever possible, he must complete it. This is also a tribute to your father. It is a honor to have done this on behalf of your father. I haven't said it for so long, because I was worried that your mother would be sad again. But just now, the uncle suddenly changed his mind and should let your mother know. After all, so many years have passed, maybe she is willing to look at the bridge your father worked for. What do you think?"

Zhao Nanxiao's eyes were a little wet with excitement. She raised her hand and gently pressed the corners of her eyes, and immediately said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu! Let me tell my mother, let me see what she means."

Xu Zhenzhong nodded with a smile: "Okay, that uncle is waiting for your reply."

After the conversation ended, in the evening, Zhao Nanxiao accompanied her mother back to the county town and helped her clean up the boxes in the hotel room at night.

Shen Xiaoman took off her makeup and took a shower. After making several job calls, she looked a little tired and leaned against the bed and closed her eyes slightly.

Zhao Nanxiao sat next to her and rubbed her shoulders.

"After today, Xiaonan, you are in trouble. Don't worry about me. Take a shower and take a rest. You and Xu Shu don't have to take me to the airport tomorrow. Just take the driver over there. The journey is long."

She closed her eyes and ordered.

Zhao Nanxiao said softly: "Mom, I only learned something today..."

"What's up?"

"The bridge that dad worked last time was not abandoned. A few years later, with the help of Uncle Xu, the construction has been resumed. Now it has been completed and opened to traffic. Uncle Xu asked me to tell you and ask you, take this opportunity, should you go over and take a look?"

Chen Xiaoman suddenly opened her eyes, with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at her daughter for a moment, and finally lay down slowly inward, closed her eyes and said softly: "I'll think about it."

Zhao Nanxiao didn't dare to say anything more, so he went to take a shower himself, then turned off the lights and lay on another bed in the room.

That night, Zhao Nanxiao felt that her mother didn't seem to sleep much, and she couldn't sleep for a long time. She fell asleep in the middle of the night. The next morning, she opened her eyes in a daze and saw that her mother had gotten up at some point, put on her clothes, and dressed up properly. She sat in a chair, quietly looking at Xiaose outside the window.

"Go and have a look."

When she heard the movement of her daughter waking up, she turned her face and said.

...

Out of respect for Chen Xiaoman's private space, Xu Zhenzhong did not accompany him in person, so he asked Xu Shu and Secretary Duan to send his mother and daughter out.

After setting off on the road, I made a lot of twists and turns, and the next day, under the guidance of the local staff of the group, I finally arrived at the edge of the bridge.

The car stopped on the side of the road. Zhao Nanxiao and his mother got out of the car, walked forward for dozens of meters, and parked above a slope.

Below the slope is a wide canyon. It is rainy season. The river is wide and the water flows rapidly. A huge and majestic dual-purpose railway and highway bridge spans both sides and flies north and south.

Zhao Nanxiao looked at it quietly, his eyes gradually getting wet.

A rumbling sound from far to near came from his ears. After a moment, a train appeared in his sight. It whistled out from the green mountains opposite, rushed up the bridge, and galloped in the clanging sound of the wheels crushing the rails, and the coal-filled cars passed one after another.

Soon, the last car of the train passed through the bridge and completely disappeared from sight.

My ears became quiet again. The mountains were silent and the rivers were rushing.

Chen Xiaoman stood for a long time, but his back remained motionless.

Just as Zhao Nanxiao was gradually feeling uneasy and wanted to go up and help her back, she turned to the car.

Zhao Nanxiao hurriedly went up to support her. Xu Shu also followed her silently.

Chen Xiaoman took a few steps and slowly stopped.

The two stopped and looked at her.

Chen Xiaoman's eyes flashed through their faces one by one, and he slowly said, "Xu Shu, Xiao Nan, do whatever you want in the future."

The two were stunned and quickly looked at each other.

Zhao Nanxiao suddenly understood and was very happy: "Mom, you mean..."

She paused and stopped again.

Chen Xiaoman didn't say anything at first, but just looked at Xu Shu. After a moment, a gentle smile that had been missing for a long time gradually appeared on her face: "Xu Shu, you are very outstanding. I really didn't expect that the disobedient wild boy back then would eventually get my baby daughter."

"From the future, Xiaonan will be handed over to you. You must treat her well for the rest of your life."

Xu Shu finally believed in his good luck. He not only pursued the girl he loved for more than ten years, but now not only is he a person, but everything about him, has also been fully recognized by her mother.

Love the house and the U.S., he always hoped that he could get the recognition of her mother. Now that he finally waited, how could he not be excited?

He stepped forward: "Aunt Chen..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly changed his words: "Mom!"

Zhao Nanxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Shu glanced at her and showed a slightly awkward expression.

Chen Xiaoman gave his daughter a blank look, nodded at him, and encouraged him to continue talking.

Xu Shu calmed down and then continued, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely do it!"

Chen Xiaoman smiled and nodded, turned around and headed into the car.
