Chapter 2 — Three Weeks of Closure

She gave up that school spot. Later, the unit temporarily had an additional position vacant, and the training room teacher called her. As long as you agree, you can add it at any time. Ha Ninh still hasn't responded. She took out the notice, the edge of the paper had a crease. She looked at it for a long time. The sound of water in the toilet stopped. Luc Thua Binh wiped his hair and walked out. "Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the supermarket a little early." Ha Ninh closed the file. "Yes." Luc Thua Binh didn't look at her. "Brother-in-law likes to drink cold beer, you can buy two cases." Ha Ninh said. "I know." Luc Thua Binh completely relaxed. He thought she would be the same as before, cold for a few minutes, but in the end she would get everything done. He sat down on the edge of the bed and continued to dial the phone. The group began to get rowdy. Luc Xuan Mai sent photos of the children. "They heard that they could go to your house, they were all crazy with joy." Luc Duc Hai replied. "Tell their second aunt to make a few more dishes." Chuong My Quyen sent a voice message. "Ha Ninh's cooking is okay, but it's a bit slow, tell her to prepare a little early tomorrow." Ha Ninh stood at the bedroom door, reading every sentence and every word. She suddenly found everything very quiet. Those sounds sounded very close, yet very far away. She opened her contacts and called a number. The other end of the line quickly picked up the phone. "Ha Ninh, have you thought about it carefully?" Ha Ninh said. "Miss Tran, is that training slot still available?" "Yes, but this time it is completely closed, when you go in there you have to hand over your phone for centralized management, you can't go home for at least twenty-one days." Ha Ninh glanced at Luc Thua Binh who was scrolling through videos in the bedroom. "I know." Ms. Tran asked again. "You have to report tomorrow morning before eight o'clock, you come here." Is that okay?" Ha Ninh held the phone. "Okay." "Bring all the documents and simple clothes, the training site does not allow family members to visit." Ha Ninh said. "Yes." After hanging up the phone, she put the notice in the small drawer of her suitcase. She took out two sets of clothes to change. Take more papers, notebooks, and chargers. The sound of the suitcase being zipped sounded very softly. Luc Thua Binh finally raised his head. "What are you packing?" Ha Ninh pushed the suitcase into the corner of the study room. "Training materials." Luc Thua Binh didn't think too much. "Don't forget to buy diapers tomorrow." Ha Ninh looked at him. "What size diaper does your sister's child wear?" Luc Thua Binh was stunned. "How do you know this?" Ha Ninh said. "Go and ask." Luc Thua Binh started to feel bothered again. "There's this little thing. Are you forcing me to ask too?" Ha Ninh didn't say anything more. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, turned off the light, and lay down. Luc Thua Binh next to him quickly fell asleep. His phone was still on. In the group, Luc Duc Hai sent the last voice message. "Tomorrow, the second son and his wife, don't run around, stay at home and wait for someone to pick you up." Ha Ninh opened his eyes wide, staring at the ceiling. At twelve o'clock at night, her phone lit up again. Luc Xuan Mai texted her privately. "Second aunt, Tieu Bao's skin is very fragile, please change the bed sheet and new duvet cover." "Also, the main bedroom bathroom is for your family to use, me and Thua Binh can use the one outside." Ha Ninh finished reading and did not reply. She opened the group chat and saved a photo of Luc Xuan Mai's eight bus tickets. Take a screenshot of the other private message and save it to your file. Finally, she set the alarm for six in the morning. Before the screen turned off, Ms. Tran sent a text message. "Tomorrow morning, it's too late. Don't wait. As soon as you walk in the door, you have to turn in your phone." Ha Ninh texted back two words. "On time."03 At six o'clock in the morning, Ha Ninh woke up. Luc Thua Binh is still sleeping. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed clothes, and tied her hair neatly. When pulling the suitcase out of the study, the wheels rolled

across the floor, making a small noise. Luc Thua Binh turned around. "So early?" Ha Ninh stuffed the papers into her bag. "Yes." Luc Thua Binh closed his eyes and said. "When you go to the supermarket, remember to buy a whole box of fresh milk." Ha Ninh did not answer. She placed a piece of paper on the dining table. On the paper were written all the requests sent by Luc Xuan Mai last night. Eight people. Three bedrooms. Four types of abstinence from food. Two cases of cold beer. Bim. Imported milk powder. Main bedroom. Main bedroom bathroom. Replace bed sheets and duvet covers. Ha Ninh pressed the pen on the paper. Write another line below. "Person in charge: Luc Thua Binh." Luc Thua Binh finally felt that something was wrong. He sat up and saw her dressed neatly in a suit, with a suitcase in her hand. He was stunned. "Where are you going?" Ha Ninh zipped up the suitcase. "Go for training." Luc Thua Binh suddenly stood up. "What training?" Ha Ninh took the notice out of his bag and placed it in front of him. "The closed training course is completely reserved for the city's core nursing staff, today you have to present." Luc Thua Binh picked up the notice, his face changed. "When did you decide this?" Ha Ninh replied. "Last night." Luc Thua Binh's voice immediately rose.
