Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu: "..."
Their ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke; such an outstanding girl is actually going to marry into their family.
Lu Zhengting, in particular, was grinning so wide his mouth almost reached the back of his ears.
He was even happier than if he himself were about to receive praise.
Then, Wei Danian introduced those people to Lin Qingyan.
Provincial leaders presented Lin Qingyan with a banner and a certificate of honor.
"Dr. Lin, thank you very much for your efforts and achievements in infectious disease research and prevention in our province and even our country. I hope you can continue your efforts and continue to contribute to the medical field."
Lin Qingyan accepted the banner and certificate: "Thank you, I will definitely continue to work hard."
In addition, the leader also gave Lin Qingyan a bonus of 200 yuan.
When Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya arrived at the door, they saw a leader-like figure handing Lin Qingyan a banner and a certificate.
It seems that the leader even praised Lin Qingyan.
These people didn't come to arrest Lin Qingyan; they came to praise her.
Their once brightened faces dimmed again.
Shen Mengya couldn't believe that things were going in the opposite direction. She muttered to herself, "Why is this happening? Why does everyone have to like Lin Qingyan?"
She hated Lin Qingyan's excellence.
Grandma Lu sighed in frustration, "Mengya, maybe we were wrong from the start. Forget it, let's not argue with her anymore. When we get back to Beijing, Grandma will have someone introduce you to a good one. There are so many outstanding young men in Beijing. If you choose carefully, you're sure to find a perfect husband."
But Shen Mengya was only focused on Lu Zhengting, and she wouldn't listen to what Old Madam Lu was saying.
"Grandma, you're too old to understand my feelings for Zhengting. I wouldn't choose anyone but him, and even if I did, I wouldn't be happy."
"Then, what can we do?" Grandma Lu said helplessly, "There is only one Zhengting, and he is already with Lin Qingyan. Where are we going to find another one for you? Grandma really wants to help you, but now that things have come to this, Grandma has no way to help you."
Shen Mengya bit her lip and stared blankly. Old Mrs. Lu pulled her, saying, "Alright, let's go back."
Just as they were about to leave, Mr. Lu chased after them again.
"Mom, Mom. I have good news for you. Qingyan was praised by the provincial leaders for discovering a new infectious disease."
"What? That's a provincial leader?"
Grandma Lu felt that Mr. Lu hadn't come to tell her good news, but rather to upset her.
Mr. Lu continued, “Mom, tell me, how proud Ruiping and I are to have such an excellent daughter-in-law. No, no, no, our entire second branch of the family is proud.”
This clarifies things between Old Madam Lu and Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan's glory is also the glory of their second branch of the family, and has nothing to do with Old Madam Lu or the rest of the Lu family.
Grandma Lu sighed, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back to the educated youth settlement to rest."
"Okay, Mom. Take care."
Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya arrived full of enthusiasm, only to leave disappointed.
They left looking rather dejected.
After the leaders presented Lin Qingyan with the banner and certificate, the reporter was still going to interview Lin Qingyan.
"Dr. Lin, you've made such a significant discovery at such a young age, earning praise from provincial leaders, and you might even receive praise from national leaders in the future. What are your thoughts on this?"
"I love medicine, I love the medical profession..."
When the reporter interviewed Lin Qingyan, Lu Zhengting stood behind her like a bodyguard.
The reporter finally couldn't help but ask him, "Sir, what is your relationship with Dr. Lin?"
Lu Zhengting quickly straightened his back; it was finally his turn to ask.
"I am Dr. Lin's boyfriend."
It seemed that being the man behind Lin Qingyan was something that made him very proud and honored.
He was dressed casually, and the reporter noticed his unique demeanor and asked, "So what kind of job do you have? I think Dr. Lin's partner must also be quite extraordinary."
"I, I'm just a soldier."
"It's good to be a soldier. When one person joins the army, the whole family is honored. But you and Dr. Lin are a perfect match, a powerful combination."
"Thank you, thank you."
He was probably too excited, because he blurted out, "Today is a day of double happiness, my wife and I are about to get our marriage certificate."
"Oh my, congratulations!"
As a result, they received a lot of congratulations.
"Since you two are going to get your marriage certificate, we won't bother you any longer," said the provincial leader.
Mr. Lu invited them to visit the brigade leader's house, but they declined.
"Everyone's busy, so we won't stay any longer."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the five men drove away.
Lin Qingyan asked the others, "Where should this banner be hung?"
Lu Zhengting rolled up the banner immediately. "I'm going to join the army soon, why bother hanging it up? We'll hang it in our room when we get to the military base."
"Oh well, if I put it on as soon as I got to the army, people will think I'm showing off. I'll just keep it safe and it'll last longer."
After that, Lin Zhiheng went to work in the fields, and Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting went to the county to get their marriage certificate, leaving only Grandma Lin at home.
In order to prevent Grandma Lin from disturbing Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan's marriage registration, Lu's mother went to coax Grandma Lin: "Auntie, stay at home with me for a while, I'll cook you something delicious."
