"Wow, you brought quite a lot. Is this cured meat? What's this?"
Gu Yunyang looked up and said, "That's cured beef, and there's some cured chicken, duck and goose next to it, all of which can be stored. I also got some dried rabbit and some fresh beef and mutton, which someone will bring over to me this afternoon."
Gu Yunyang spoke at length, as if he were explaining something.
The mother-in-law was very happy.
In the past, their family was a wealthy household with its own estate, and they wouldn't have cared about such things.
But since leaving the capital, they have lost all access to these channels.
Although they are not living under assumed names here, they have stopped contacting their old friends.
Having finally escaped from the capital, who knows what the consequences would be if they were found again.
Chen Feihong asked, "I heard from Xiangrong that you're going to the Gobi Desert with the professor to do experiments soon?"
Gu Yunyang nodded: "Yes, desertification in our country is still quite serious. Even the capital city has been experiencing sandstorms. Furthermore, we want to utilize the desert, transforming what were once barren lands into oases. We also need to conduct research on drought-resistant plants..."
Gu Yunyang talked on and on, and Chen Feihong still agreed with Gu Yunyang's research.
The research might require separating from Chen Xiangrong.
However, in order to support the research, Chen Feihong had nothing to say.
At lunchtime, Gu Yunyang cooked a large table of delicious food for the Chen family.
Because it was right after the Lunar New Year, and the son-in-law was visiting.
So when the family cooks something delicious, no one can say anything.
In the afternoon, Gu Yunyang went out to pick up "fresh beef and mutton that someone had sent over".
At this time, Chen Feihong was at home doing ideological work with Chen Xiangrong: "Yunyang's work is somewhat special, and his research is very important to the country."
As the wife of a researcher, and perhaps even a future scientist, you must be able to endure loneliness. You must take care of all the household chores yourself.
I know this will make your life harder and lonelier, but you have to…
Chen Xiangrong was both amused and exasperated. She interrupted Chen Feihong and said, "Dad, I know better than you what the life of a scientist is like. Besides, after I graduate, I will be assigned a job, and I will try to go back to work in the commune."
Chen Feihong frowned. He had finally graduated from university, so how was he supposed to go back to work in the commune?
Chen Xiangrong said, "This is something Yunyang and I discussed. He is very capable and is destined to sacrifice a lot for the country, to go to the most difficult places."
I couldn't keep following him around everywhere, so I stayed at home.
It's better to be assigned to a commune in the city than to Guangzhou. After all, my family background can't be hidden.
On the other hand, things are all taken care of at the commune for now, and Yunyang said he'd help with that too. The professor will then speak to his superiors to ensure the safety of me, Mom and Dad, and you all.”
Chen Xiangrong knew that Gu Yunyang had put in a lot of effort and achieved many results after joining the professor's team.
Gu Yunyang gained the professor's favor.
Its purpose was actually to protect Chen Xiangrong and her parents.
However, these things don't need to be said; both sides are fully aware of them.
Chen Feihong hadn't had any particular thoughts to begin with, and now that he knew Gu Yunyang's plans and intentions, he had even less to say.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was home, Gu Yunyang quickly brought back all the beef and mutton.
Chen Feihong loved eating this beef, but after leaving the capital, he lost all his connections.
The connections he has built up so far are not enough to get him that much beef.
Chen Feihong was pleasantly surprised: "So much beef? How did you get it? This isn't easy to get. You've gone to a lot of trouble."
