Chapter 309 I Don’t Live to Have a Child
Gu Qingye didn't move at all, and his expression didn't change.
Gu Bohuai personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Qingye: "How is Youyou doing in America?"
"fine."
"I heard that she was robbed in a wood warehouse? Was she not scared?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
"She is studying two majors there. Can she handle it?"
"good."
Gu Bohuai was used to his minimalist way of conversation, and said with a smile: "The experts from the 507th Institute have already studied it. Youyou has exceeded the task, and she will be given extra rewards internally."
Gu Qingye just nodded without saying anything. He looked at Gu Bohuai calmly, waiting for what to say next.
Leaders at all levels have already praised him several times before, so there is no need to call him in to praise him again.
Besides, he is just a porter, so there is no need to praise him.
Gu Bohuai seemed a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Has Youyou told you about your future plans?"
Gu Qingye raised his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Bohuai chose his words carefully: "She has so much to learn, will two years be enough?"
Gu Qingye frowned slightly: "What do you want to ask?"
Whenever Lu Youyou was mentioned, Gu Qingye would immediately become serious and aggressive, which made Gu Bohuai helpless.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else." Seeing that the wrinkles between Gu Qingye's eyebrows showed no sign of smoothing out, Gu Bohuai had to ask more directly, "Does Youyou have plans to continue his studies in the United States?"
"I haven't asked. What's the problem?" Gu Qingye asked in surprise.
"It's not that there's any problem..."
Gu Bohuai was well aware of Lu Youyou's abilities, although he had never witnessed it with his own eyes before. This 30-centimeter-thick report was enough to prove her genius.
The 507th Institute certainly hopes that Lu Youyou can bring back as much technology as possible. Some leaders of the General Staff are already considering whether to issue Lu Youyou a few more letters of appointment.
The title of Distinguished Researcher is not limited to 507. There are 508, 509... as many as you want.
As long as the mission can be completed, resources and funds are not a problem. Good steel should be used on the blade. It would be a waste of such a powerful weapon as Lu Youyou if it is not used.
The same must be true for Tsinghua University. He didn't know how big the "gift" they received was, but Xiaowen Yu's reaction proved everything.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Youyou's time abroad in one year is equivalent to that of ten people staying abroad in ten years. Xiao Wenyu naturally hopes that she can stay abroad as long as possible.
Others are going to the United States for graduate studies, but whether Lu Youyou gets a doctorate or a postdoctoral degree, she will definitely have a green light in China.
If Lu Youyou was not his daughter-in-law, Gu Bohuai would only sigh that he had gained another pillar of the country, but Gu Qingye was already thirty years old and the two of them had no children yet.
Gu Bohuai put down his teacup and suddenly brought up a seemingly irrelevant topic.
"The Annan border has been unstable recently, you know?"
"I know." Gu Qingye's eyes narrowed slightly. Why did he suddenly talk about this?
Gu Bohuai said in a deep voice: "You are still in the frontline combat sequence now. If a fight breaks out, you may have to go to the front line at any time..."
"I will obey orders resolutely."
Gu Qingye's voice was firm. This was the duty of the military and the people, and he was always ready.
Gu Bohuai couldn't say the words when they came to his lips. His son had never been very close to him, and he was extremely sensitive about Lu Youyou's affairs. He didn't want to be a bad guy in vain, but there were some things he had to worry about.
"Qingye, have you and Youyou discussed when to have a child?"
Gu Qingye's eyes instantly turned cold, and he finally understood what Gu Bohuai was trying to say in a roundabout way.
"Whether she wants to pursue further studies or return to China, I respect her opinion. We will have children in the future, and if Youyou doesn't want to, she doesn't have to have one."
Gu Bohuai was stunned for a long time, unable to speak or react.
"How can there not be, you..."
Gu Qingye was not moved at all, and the aura around him became even more solidified.
Gu Bohuai said anxiously: "You may go to the front line at any time. I am worried that..."
He couldn't say the following words, nor did he want to think about that possibility. Any accident could happen on the battlefield. How could he just watch Gu Qingye be childless?
Gu Qingye said: "I am not living to have a child, and neither is my wife."
Not to mention that Lu Youyou was not in the country, even if she was right next to him, it was impossible for him to make Lu Youyou pregnant immediately for the so-called continuation of the family line.
If one day he were to die, he would rather Lu Youyou not have the burden of a child.
Gu Bohuai didn't expect Gu Qingye to be so tough: "Qingye, you are not young anymore, what's wrong with having a child, you..."
Before he could finish, Gu Qingye stood up and stood there like a javelin.
"If you are anxious to have a grandchild, you can go find another son. As for me, please don't bother with me." Gu Qingye stood at attention and saluted. "Excuse me, is there anything else?"
Gu Bohuai looked at his son, who was taller than him, for a long time and sighed, "Qingye, your mother is gone, there must be someone who cares about you, right?"
Gu Qingye still stood there with a clear attitude.
The office fell silent again, and Gu Bohuai had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, you guys decide on yourselves regarding the child. Qingye, don't get me wrong, I'm not rushing you, and I'm not in a hurry to have a grandchild."
Gu Qingye didn't respond, but raised his hand to salute again: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
The clanging footsteps faded away, and Gu Bohuai couldn't help but smile bitterly at the untouched cup of tea on the table.
Given Gu Qingye's personality, he would definitely go to the front line if he was on the conscription list, and it was impossible for him to be crossed off the list against his will.
He didn't want Gu Qingye to have any regrets, but the estrangement of more than 20 years made many things impossible to discuss.
As for grandchildren...he didn't even expect to hold one in his arms.
It is definitely impossible for Gu Qingye to do that in a short time. Gu Hongying only loves weapons and not makeup, not to mention Gu Yuanzheng.
Two years ago, Gu Yuanzheng secretly took a leave of absence from his job and ran to Pengcheng. He learned how to do business but lost all his money. He felt ashamed to face people and refused to return to Beijing.
Gu Bohuai can ensure that nothing serious will happen to him, but he cannot stop him from doing stupid things.
He knew that Gu Qingye had made his youngest son suffer, but it was Du Shuang who made the mistake in the first place, and Gu Yuanzheng was not innocent either.
Gu Qingye was angry. He let Gu Yuanzheng learn a lesson but didn't kill him. What could he say?
If he tried to stop it, his already weak father-son relationship with Gu Qingye might no longer be able to be maintained.
He thought about today's conversation for a long time. He knew that once Lu Youyou was involved, Gu Qingye would never give in.
But he still couldn't help asking, and it ended in a bad way just as he expected, and Gu Qingye was even more determined than he thought.
Oh, forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou are both excellent, there must be gains and losses...
