After a good sleep, he regained his energy and spirit, but was still hungry. Zhong Yuxiu gave two pancakes and a few buns to Gu Lingguo and the other man. She ate most of them and left the rest for the guard driving in front.

It was already past three o'clock when we arrived at Zhongguancun, which was a bit late.

The car drove into the research institute and parked in an uninhabited area. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong opened the door and got out.

Before getting off the bus, Zhong Yuxiu reminded him, "Comrade, the oil-paper bag on the seat next to you contains some steamed buns and pancakes left for you. Remember to eat them."

"No, I can't take your things." The guard hurriedly took the oil-paper bag from the passenger seat and handed it to her.

Zhong Yuxiu pushed it back. "Take it and eat it. Do you think Comrade Gu and Comrade Fang will refuse? Eat it to fill your stomach. I know you soldiers get hungry quickly. I get hungry quickly too. Don't go back hungry."

Soldiers have good physiques and exercise a lot, so they naturally get hungry quickly.

Sometimes, after eating, I feel empty in my stomach within an hour.

After getting out of the car and closing the door, Zhong Yuxiu led the others away. The guard in the driver's seat, holding the oil-paper bag, felt incredibly warm. After years of military service, he wasn't short of money or food. But he was probably the only one who really cared about whether he was hungry.

He saw the neglect, indifference, and exploitation of his family as the norm. Only after leaving the countryside and seeing the outside world did he understand that exploitation wasn't the norm, but only a minority of parents. Some parents exploit their hardworking, promising children while caring for their unsuccessful, pretentious, and scheming children.

I don’t know what kind of pathological psychology it is.

When I walked into the research institute, the office building was unusually deserted, with only three or two people seen from time to time.

Zhong Yuxiu didn't ask what others were doing. She just prepared what needed to be prepared. When training new researchers, the content of the training was very important.

After working for two or three hours, she had quick hands and a lot of knowledge in her mind; writing the training lesson plan was not easy for her and it was completed in just three hours.

"Comrade Zhong, it's getting late. Should we go back? Comrade Yan is already here."

Gu Lingguo stood at the door and asked questions.

"Right away." Yuxiu looked up at him, lowered her head to finish the last few strokes, and then put the things into the drawer. She stood up suddenly, stretched, and said, "You can go home now."

Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong walked to the door and asked, "Comrade Zhong, are you done?"

Next came Yan Rushan. He knocked on the office door and asked, "Wife, are you done with your work?"

"Okay, when did you come?" She walked around the desk and quickly stepped forward. Yan Rushan stretched out his hand, and she placed it in his palm very naturally. "Did you bring me something delicious? I'm hungry again."

Yan Rushan smiled and nodded. Since there were no outsiders around, he hugged the person in his arms and said, "I brought it with me. It's in the car. You can eat it as soon as you get in. There's your favorite roast duck, braised pork, and walnut meat. There's also your favorite red bean paste buns, meat buns, red bean paste cakes, mung bean cakes, and osmanthus cakes. I bought a lot."

"So many!" I feel so happy to have a husband who loves me.

Zhong Yuxiu was happy, and so was Yan Rushan. "I sent some seafood back this afternoon, including oysters, clams, and crayfish. The nanny should be cooking them, so we'll have something to eat when we get home."

"Yan Rushan, you are so nice." After finishing the work, there is delicious food to eat, and I am in a good mood.

"Let's go home."

Zhong Yuxiu nodded repeatedly and was pulled out of the office by him; Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong helped lock the office door, walked out of the research institute with them, and got into the car driven by Yan Rushan.

This time it was Gu Lingguo's turn to drive, with Fang Guozhong sitting in the passenger seat; Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan were in the back seat. Yan Rushan closed the car door and took a lunch box, about twenty centimeters high, from the seat next to her.

When the food box was opened, the aroma of noodles wafted out. Not only Zhong Yuxiu was hungry, but Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong also smelled the fragrance and their throats moved, feeling hungry.

Yan Rushan opened the first and second compartments on top, which contained a variety of items, including roast duck, pastries, and buns.

"Come, try the osmanthus cake, a new kind of pastry. It's a little cold now. It should be more delicious when it's hot right out of the pot."

Zhong Yuxiu picked up a piece and ate it. It was sweet, with a lingering sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. It melted in her mouth, soft and delicious. "It's delicious and fragrant. Where did you buy it?"

"It's a new variety developed by someone I worked with before, and we're planning to sell it to hotels and restaurants in Beijing. It's not available elsewhere yet. If you like it, I'll bring you one every day."

Zhong Yuxiu nodded repeatedly, "Okay." She turned around and went back to eating roast duck and steamed buns. While eating, she didn't forget to give a portion to Fang Guozhong, who was not driving. "Comrade Gu, you are driving and can't eat. How about letting Comrade Fang feed you?"

Gu Lingguo hesitated for a moment, unable to resist the hunger driven by the aroma.

Fang Guozhong took a bite and also fed Gu Lingguo a bite; the few buns in Fang Guozhong's hands were soon gone, so Zhong Yuxiu sent a few more over and also took out half a plate of roast duck for them.

After filling her stomach, Zhong Yuxiu sighed comfortably, "Life cannot be without delicious food. When I feel stressed, eating something delicious will make all the stress go away."

"Have a few more bites? There's still a lot of roast duck left, and I didn't eat many cakes." Yan Rushan looked down at the cake plate in the food box. He had eaten a few pieces of osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, and red bean cake, but not many.

"No, let's eat when we get home."

Seeing this, Yan Rushan stopped persuading her and said, "Okay, let's eat at home." He closed the lunch box and put it aside. As soon as he put it aside, a warm and soft body pressed on him. It would be foolish not to refuse the benefits that his wife brought to him.

He put his arm around her waist, rubbed her little head, and asked gently.

"Are you sleepy?"

"A little bit. I've been writing lesson plans all afternoon and haven't had time to rest."

Yan Rushan hugged her lovingly, "Do you have a headache? Do your eyes hurt?"

"My eyes feel uncomfortable, but my head doesn't hurt." With the support of mental power and without working under a high level of mental concentration, there was no impact on the brain.

"Let me rub your eyes." Yan Rushan put the man on his lap and said to the person in front, "Drive slower and more steadily."

Gu Lingguo hummed lightly as a response.

Yan Rushan used the fingertips of his hands to massage along Zhong Yuxiu's eye sockets. There was no method, but one could feel his dedication from his unfamiliar technique; he massaged the eye sockets, eyebrows, and forehead bit by bit, taking care of each one.

Zhong Yuxiu curled the corners of her lips slightly. She had never given massage to anyone else, so she didn't know the acupoints; but he was able to patiently relieve her dry and tired eyes. For this reason, she felt that she had married the right person.

After several years of marriage, their relationship deepened day by day. Far from being torn apart by money and petty turmoil, their mutual understanding and understanding led to his patience with her, always willing to compromise. There were no awkward moments between them. The man offered the woman tender care, while the woman offered the man new trust and reliance, and their bond remained unwavering.
