Chapter 159 She is willing to admit defeat
Lu Youyou's brief explanation only lasted less than 24 hours. When Wang Jinglian came over the next day, she felt something was not right.
"What's wrong?" Lu Youyou touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"
Wang Jinglian came closer, her expression unusually vivid: "Today at least five people asked me if you were a doctor, three people wanted to borrow books from you, and two people asked if you had any sisters, saying they wanted to help your family get married."
After saying that, Wang Jinglian also looked at her carefully for half a minute, as if she had just met her for the first time.
"Little Deer, I've known for a long time that you're not an ordinary person, but this is so extraordinary! You can cure both humans and animals, you're a miracle doctor!"
Lu Youyou didn't know how to respond. She didn't expect to keep a low profile for long, but the speed of news spreading was a little too fast.
"My family taught me these things when I was a kid, so being able to put them into practice is a contribution."
"You are too modest. This is not an ordinary contribution. Can an ordinary person write a book?"
Wang Jinglian had already imagined a family of high-level intellectuals in her mind, and only such a family could produce someone like Lu Youyou.
Intellectuals have had a hard time these years, and no one knows what the situation is at Lu Youyou's family. In any case, it is already remarkable for a young female comrade to gain a foothold in the military region on her own.
Wang Jinglian wouldn't ask about other things, but there was one thing she couldn't help but inquire about.
"Xiaolu, you really don't have any sisters?"
Lu Youyou smiled helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I am an only child."
"No cousins, either?"
Lu Youyou shook his head: "Really not."
There was no one left in her father's family, her mother was an only child, and her grandfather had never adopted any other children. Not only did she have no brothers or sisters, she also had no cousins at all.
Wang Jinglian’s face was filled with regret. Not only did others want to matchmake her, she was also jealous!
The Wang family and the Shen family can find two good boys if they look around. Not to mention that they are 100% as good as Lu Youyou, even if they are 50% or 60% as good, they would be good wives that are hard to find even with a lantern.
Before leaving, Wang Jinglian specifically instructed: "There are many people who like to join in the fun here, so try to avoid meal times when you go out. If you really can't handle it, ask Zhuifeng to come and call me."
Lu Youyou thanked him with a smile. She didn't go out often anyway. If she didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative occasionally, it would not be a problem for her to stay at home for a month.
The clamor caused by the manuscript fee lasted for many days. Lu Youyou underestimated the enthusiasm of the crowd. She did not go out, but there were always people coming to see her.
Matchmaking seems to be a common hobby these days. People came to ask one after another, and Lu Youyou refused seven or eight times in a row. Everyone finally believed that she really had no sisters and it was not just an excuse.
This trend even spread to the base.
One day, Gu Qingye came back from get off work and looked at her with an expression that was quite meaningful.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, they looked at me the same way today."
Lu Youyou was stunned at first, but immediately understood what he meant.
She covered her mouth and laughed: "Isn't it because I envy you for having a capable wife?"
The royalties arrived five days ago, but I just remembered to join in the fun now. Maybe I am a little late to realize it.
Gu Qingye nodded and said, "The Field First Aid Manual has been gradually rolled out at the grassroots level, and Dongzhou Island just received it today."
Lu Youyou was a little dazed. The book she helped write was widely used?
Suddenly, it felt unreal that her name was on the university textbook.
"Political Commissar He also came to ask me today if I have any unmarried sisters."
"Ah?" Lu Youyou almost choked.
She had met He Yun once. He was very old and quite imposing. Could such a person also have the invisible matchmaker's mole?
It’s so hard to imagine!
"You...I..." Lu Youyou was speechless, her eyes shaking just thinking about it.
"I told him no." Gu Qingye drank his soup slowly and raised his head. "There is only one treasure like this."
"What?!" Lu Youyou was really panicking. "You're not really saying that, are you?!"
Gu Qingye smiled and looked at her for a while: "The second half of the sentence is for you."
Lu Youyou:!!!
Help, help, help!
Is it that the honest man has become a bad person, or is it that he is not an honest man at all? !
Lu Youyou buried his head in eating and no longer looked at the opposite side.
"There is new information about 507."
Gu Qingye's words made her raise her head again.
Lu Youyou was very resentful. Why didn't you just say such an important thing directly?
Now it is certain that someone was bad to begin with, and now he is even worse!
Gu Qingye stopped teasing her: "The new version of the diving suit will be produced in small batches for a small-scale pilot."
Lu Youyou understood what he meant: "Here?"
Gu Qingye smiled and nodded: "When the time comes, we will have to invite deer experts to the site to guide the work."
"Okay, okay." Lu Youyou raised his chin and glanced at the other side. "So shouldn't you be a little more respectful to the experts?"
"Experts are treasures, so naturally we want them."
As she stared in amazement, Gu Qingye pushed a plate of peeled shrimp meat towards her.
Baby, baby, baby——
These two words seemed to echo in Lu Youyou's ears.
Damn it, could it be that from now on, the 1970s indigenous people will take charge? !
——————
“Team leader!”
"Comrade Lu!"
Lu Youyou met her "old colleague" again, and they were both visibly excited.
A small-scale pilot project is the first step towards mass production. As long as there are no major problems, the project can continue to move forward.
It took very little time and achieved huge results. Even the well-tested Li Ruogu couldn't help but feel excited.
When Lu Youyou arrived, the eyes of the Niusi Zhange team members lit up like kilowatt light bulbs.
The diving suit project has a high level of confidentiality, and many people don’t know that Lu Youyou is the leader. I just heard a few days ago that Captain Gu’s wife published two books, and now I know that she has also developed an improved version of the diving suit.
I wouldn’t even dare to make up a story like this!
Young and talented, that would be fine, but the figure walking towards him was simply blindingly bright.
Is it really reasonable for a scientific research expert to have such a face?
Gu Qingye stepped forward and saluted: "Comrade Lu, good morning! Comrade Li, Comrade Fang, welcome to the Niusi Zhange Team!"
After saying hello, Fang Xiang and Li Ruogu quickly got down to work.
Gu Qingye did not go into the water today. He and Lu Youyou were watching the data monitoring together.
While waiting to change clothes, Lu Youyou couldn't help but glance at him several times.
Every time they met in formal occasions, she found it difficult to suppress the corners of her mouth, but he could always look serious as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you have any training on how to hold back your laughter?"
The man who hardly smiled during work hours turned and looked at her.
"You want to see me smile?"
"Well, no."
"Smiling at you distracts me from my work."
Crunch...
Lu Youyou turned her neck stiffly, she admitted defeat!
