Chapter 268 Old Acquaintance
The first thing Xiao Huihui did after hearing the bad news was to look at the calendar.
Next year, next year, next year, how long is left until next year?
Little Huihui flipped the pages one by one with his mouth, counted out how many days were left, and then sat down on the ground.
Oh mom, so fast?!
Zhuifeng also came over and took Gu Qingye's hand with a very serious expression.
Is mom really leaving?
Seeing Gu Qingye nod, Zhuifeng’s tail crashed in a second, and his mouth changed from ︶ to ︵.
Xiao Huihui was heartbroken, Zhuifeng fell into deep thought, and the two kids made surprisingly consistent choices. They ran to the bedroom door together to wait for Lu Youyou to come out.
Gu Qingye's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he had an inexplicable ominous premonition.
Soon, the scene he least wanted to see appeared.
As soon as Lu Youyou wakes up, she is greeted by two followers, and the mature and steady Zhuifeng is no exception.
They don't just follow Lu Youyou everywhere, they must have physical contact with Lu Youyou.
Xiao Huihui would either nestle in Lu Youyou's arms or stand on her shoulder. Zhuifeng would lean against her legs, and their bodies must be tightly pressed against her. If that didn't work, at least the tail would be wrapped around her.
The two of them would also cooperate with each other to keep a close eye on people, and even Zhuifeng betrayed the camp of his old comrade.
As long as Gu Qingye got closer, Zhuifeng would go to occupy the seat next to Lu Youyou first. Zhuifeng would stand in the middle of the road to stop him, and then occupy the seats next to Lu Youyou on the left and right.
Whenever Lu Youyou sat down, Gu Qingye had to sit in the single seat next to her, and the long sofa was completely occupied by the family of three.
Of course, Lu Youyou was also reluctant to leave her two lovely children at home.
Now is not like the future. There is no private plane and she cannot bring her family with her. Whenever she goes abroad, she will inevitably be separated from Xiao Huihui and Zhuifeng.
The two little guys are her biological children. The nights belong to Gu Qingye, and the rest of the time is simply divided among her two big darlings.
Gu Qingye regretted it.
He used to be able to compete with his wife in wits and courage, but now he can only be alone with her at night. The rest of the time, as long as Lu Youyou is at home, there is almost no place for him to step within a one-meter radius.
Gu Qingye suddenly thought of something. When he and Lu Youyou have a child in the future, will the wife still be his?

After the quota for studying abroad was confirmed, Lu Youyou was even more overwhelmed.
Both projects had to be completed. Although she didn't have to worry about her graduation thesis, she still had to go through the defense process.
In addition, before being sent abroad on a public assignment, one has to attend various trainings and meetings. Training can be exempted, but ideological and political meetings cannot be missed.
Another busy day ended, and Gu Qingye came to pick me up again. This time he didn't go home directly, but drove in the opposite direction.
"Where are we going?"
"Someone from the 507th Institute has come and wants to discuss something with you."
Lu Youyou was stunned for a few seconds, and finally got rid of all the rules and regulations about studying abroad in her mind.
"Looking for me?"
Gu Qingye smiled and hummed, then took her hand and clasped their fingers together: "Deputy Director Luo came in person, as well as the leader of the Equipment Department."
Just a few words revealed enough information, and Lu Youyou already had some guesses.
The only intersection between her and the 507th Institute was the original diving suit project. Now the new diving suits have been put into use on a large scale and are said to be very effective.
She was about to go abroad, but he came to see her. Was there something wrong with her diving suit?
The car drove straight to the headquarters of the General Staff before stopping. Lu Youyou was surprised, why did it get here?
If I remember correctly, Gu Bohuai should be working here, right?
Lu Youyou got off the car to register, and followed Gu Qingye to an empty meeting room in the office building. Only after entering did she find that the two people inside were familiar faces.
Deputy Director Luo of the 507th Institute stood up with a smile when he saw her. Next to him was Gu Qingye's father, Gu Bohuai.
This combination was unexpected, but Lu Youyou remained calm and walked up to greet the two of them.
"Comrade Lu, long time no see!" Deputy Director Luo shook hands with Lu Youyou enthusiastically.
"Director Luo, long time no see."
Lu Youyou couldn't help laughing. The expression on Deputy Director Luo's face was too familiar. He looked at her with shining eyes as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
He had been like this since the first diving suits came out, and he hadn't changed since then. He smiled whenever he saw her.
At this time, Gu Bohuai also spoke up: "Xiaolu, this is Director Luo from the 507th Institute. You two are old acquaintances, so I won't introduce you any further."
Lu Youyou's mouth curled up slightly. No wonder Director Luo seemed a little plumper, it turned out that he got a promotion!
"This time I am here on behalf of Equipment to discuss cooperation with you. Director Luo will introduce the details to you."
Lu Youyou finally understood why she had to come to the General Staff. In the past few years, the General Staff had restored equipment management, and the equipment ordering and scientific research of each military unit were all under the jurisdiction of the General Staff.
It would definitely be an overreach for Gu Bohuai to come forward. If the person they are looking for is not her, someone from the Equipment Department would be enough.
Lu Youyou and Director Luo took their seats, and Gu Bohuai and Gu Qingye left together, leaving the space for the two of them.
"Comrade Lu, I heard that you are going to the United States soon?"
"Yes, I'll leave at the beginning of next year."
"Comrade Lu, you have no idea how happy our director was when he heard that you had made a breakthrough in the core technology of seawater desalination!"
Director Luo seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled and said, "The director is happy for you, but also lamented that he didn't retain such talent. He has been sighing for many days!"
He didn't keep the secret and directly pushed the folder on the table in front of Lu Youyou.
"Comrade Lu, I came here this time to entrust you to continue to conduct in-depth research on diving suits. This is a demand raised by front-line personnel. We would like to ask you to make further improvements on the original basis."
Director Luo knew Lu Youyou's character, so he spoke directly without beating around the bush.
Lu Youyou took it but didn't open it right away. She looked at the opposite side and said, "But I'm going abroad soon..."
She had nothing to be unwilling about. She was still a specially appointed researcher at the 507th Institute, and it was a project she was in charge of, so it was only reasonable to continue looking for her.
Director Luo's smile remained the same, but it became more mysterious.
"Yes, we know. We just want you to learn as much advanced foreign experience as possible if conditions permit."
He didn't say it clearly, but Lu Youyou understood what he meant immediately.
It's to let her learn from others and become stronger. When she uses the Sharingan, she can copy as much as she can.
I guess her photographic memory really left a deep impression on the other party.
It just so happened that she was going to be sent abroad on a government scholarship to study something related to marine engineering, so I thought of adding more responsibilities to her.
Lu Youyou only thought for a minute before making a decision.
She was able to research Diving Suit 1.0 with only the limited information in the space. She would definitely gain new insights when she goes abroad, so it shouldn't be a big problem for her to research 2.0 or something at the same time.
After she figured it out, she opened the file. Although Director Luo looked happy on the surface, he was actually very nervous in his heart. He was afraid that the task was too difficult, so Lu Youyou politely declined.
Now seeing her actions, I feel much relieved.
Comrade Lu is a good comrade of the Party and the people!
It’s really worthwhile for them to hire this specially appointed researcher!
