Unconsciously, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow cast a layer of golden gauze over the whole city. People who were shopping also felt a little tired. When they looked at the time, they found that it was already late.

Wen Yu raised her hand and gently patted Lin Zhiyue's shoulder, with a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Come on, girl, mom will take you to dinner. I have to reward you well today."

Mu Yushang and Zhang Yao at the side also echoed, and everyone walked towards the bus stop together.

On the bus, Mu Yuchang excitedly shared with Lin Zhiyue her previous experience of going to Quanjude, and described the delicious roast duck in vivid detail, making Lin Zhiyue drool.

Soon, the bus arrived at the station and everyone came to the famous Quanjude.

As soon as you enter Quanjude, the rich aroma of roast duck hits your nose. The restaurant is bustling with the laughter of diners.

Wen Yu led everyone to an empty seat and said to Lin Zhiyue enthusiastically, "Girl, let's eat roast duck today. The roast duck from Quanjude is a must-try. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. It is served with shredded green onions, cucumbers, and sweet noodle sauce. Wrap it in a pancake and take a bite. I guarantee you will never forget it."

As Lin Zhiyue listened to her mother's description, she couldn't help but recall the difficult days of hunger at the end of the world. At that time, it was a luxury to have a full meal, let alone this delicious roast duck.

Now sitting in this spacious and bright shop, smelling the tempting aroma, her appetite was suddenly aroused and she nodded vigorously.

The four of them ordered their meals, and soon, a plate of rosy, shiny roast duck was served to the table.

The chef skillfully sliced ​​the roast duck into slices as thin as cicada wings and placed them neatly on the plate.

Wen Yu picked up a pancake, carefully put a few slices of roast duck on it for Lin Zhiyue, added chopped green onions and cucumber, and evenly spread sweet noodle sauce on it. Then she rolled it up carefully, handed it to Lin Zhiyue, and said with a smile, "Girl, try it."

Lin Zhiyue took the rolled pancake and took a light bite. In an instant, the tenderness of the duck meat, the crispness of the duck skin and the fragrance of various ingredients blended in her mouth. The rich taste made her intoxicated.

She squinted her eyes in satisfaction and said incoherently, "It's delicious, Mom. It's really delicious."

Mu Yushang and Zhang Yao also laughed when they saw Lin Zhiyue enjoying her meal. The four of them ate roast duck and shared interesting stories in their lives. Their cheerful laughter echoed in every corner of Quanjude.

After dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a faint golden edge on the buildings in the military compound.

Lin Zhiyue, her mother, and Mu Yuchang, a group of four, walked slowly towards the courtyard.

Along the way, Mu Yuchang was like a cheerful little bird, chirping and sharing the interesting things she saw, and her laughter filled the way home.

As soon as they entered the house, Grandma Lin pulled Lin Zhiyue to sit on the sofa, with a kind smile on her face, and asked gently: "Granddaughter, how was your outing today? Did you have fun?"

Lin Zhiyue's eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed with excitement, she looked at her grandmother and said, "I'm so happy! Grandma, today is so interesting! Mom even took me to eat roast duck, it was roasted golden, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, one bite left a lingering fragrance in my mouth, it was delicious!"

Grandma Lin gently touched Lin Zhiyue's head, her eyes full of doting, and said with a smile: "Really? As long as my Yueyue likes it, we can go again if she wants to eat it in the future."

Lin Zhiyue immediately hugged her grandmother's neck, rubbed her affectionately, and responded happily: "Okay, grandma, you are so nice! Let's go together next time!"

Looking at Lin Zhiyue's lively and lovely appearance, the laughter of the grandparents and grandchildren echoed in the living room, which was warm and beautiful.

After hearing what Lin Zhiyue said, grandma smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, next time, the whole family will go."

At this time, Lin Lang came out of the kitchen, holding the cut fruit in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yueyue likes to eat so deliciously, Dad will buy it back for you to eat in the future."

Wen Yu also echoed: "The sweet noodle sauce in that store has a unique taste. I've been thinking about it too."

Lin Lang looked at his wife like this and said with a smile: "Okay, buy them all."

The next morning, the morning light had just shone through the cracks in the window, casting a few rays of light, and the whole house was still immersed in silence.

Lin Zhiyue was curled up in the warm quilt, dreaming sweet dreams, her even breathing rising and falling gently, completely unaware that the house had become lively.

In the living room, Lin Weidong was wearing a neat military uniform and had an upright posture. Although he was over fifty years old, the dignity and steadiness accumulated over the years remained unchanged.

At this moment, he was calmly receiving a group of uninvited guests.

These people all came from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses and a dark Mao suit. His eyes revealed wisdom and sincerity, and his every move revealed the demeanor of a scholar.

"Hello, General Lin!"

The middle-aged man bowed slightly, his tone respectful and somewhat anxious, "We have come here today to pick up Comrade Lin Zhiyue. We have already prepared a comfortable dormitory for her at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with all the necessary living facilities. You can rest assured that she will never suffer any grievances."

Lin Weidong nodded slightly, a trace of love and reluctance flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "My granddaughter hasn't woken up yet, why don't you wait for a while. By the way, when do you plan to leave?"

At this time, an old man with gray hair and elegant temperament who had been standing nearby stepped forward. He was the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The dean pushed up his reading glasses and said solemnly, "General Lin, to be honest, the project that Comrade Lin Zhiyue is going to research is extremely important and is related to the country's development in the field of cutting-edge science and technology. If possible, when she wakes up, it would be best if she could go with us and start working as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Lin Weidong fell into a brief contemplation.

He knows very well that the country is now in a state of disrepair and urgently needs development in science and technology, economy and other fields. It needs talented and capable young people like his granddaughter to contribute.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head, nodded firmly, and said, "Okay."

Although he was deeply concerned about his granddaughter, he understood that this was for the future of the country and he could not refuse.

The early morning sunlight shines through the thin curtains, casting a warm yellow hue across the room.

Lin Zhiyue was still immersed in a sweet dream, and her even breathing echoed softly in the quiet room.

Grandma walked into the room quietly and sat down beside the bed. With a gentle smile on her face, she raised her hand and gently patted Lin Zhiyue's shoulder, calling softly: "Yueyue, my dear granddaughter, wake up."

The voice was gentle, like the spring breeze, full of pampering.

Lin Zhiyue frowned, slowly raised her eyelids, looked at her grandmother sleepily, and said "hmm" in a daze as if she had just woken up.

She rubbed her eyes, stretched lazily, and then slowly sat up from the bed. Her hair was a little messy, and she looked like she was not fully awake yet.
