Both of them were covered in sticky sweat.

Shen Li fell asleep in a daze. She only remembered that the man held her in his arms and took a shower in the bathroom for a long time. Then they lay on the big bed in the bedroom. She fell asleep in Lu Jingchuan's arms.

…

The first batch of seafood carts has been successfully produced with the help of the workshop staff.

A logistics team was set up on the island, and some drivers were hired to deliver the goods to different destinations.

Northwest Research Foundation.

"My eyesight has been getting better recently, especially at night, I can see things more clearly now." Mother Lu rubbed her sore eyes. "I'm not old enough to move yet, but my eyesight is already bad. Let alone doing scientific research, I'm afraid that if my daughter-in-law gets pregnant in the future, I won't be able to take care of my grandson..."

"Me too, I can see clearly at night, but I need several kerosene lamps." Another scientist sighed, "I am just night blind, my skin is dry, and my mouth is inflamed and has blisters."

"Me too, look at my mouth, it's cracked all over, I hardly dare to speak at all, as soon as I open my mouth, my lips crack and bleed, I also have ulcers, my mouth hurts all day long, it's so uncomfortable." Scientist Mei said, "It's not just my mouth, my face is also like dandruff, it's better to dry it."

"I thought I was the only one with this problem. My face is dry and tight all day long, and my gums bleed all the time..." Scientist Zhou shook her head helplessly, "I thought I was the only one with this problem, but it seems that we are all very different. This is called vitamin deficiency."

"The northwest is too dry and transportation is poor. Where can we get vitamins? We can only eat beef and mutton from time to time to replenish our nutrition." Sister Mei sighed.

Mother Lu sighed helplessly. In the vast northwest, the environment is extremely harsh and fruits are very scarce. Last time, she finally spent a lot of money to buy some raisins, but she was not willing to eat any of them and mailed them all to her daughter-in-law.

"We who do scientific research are really like ascetics." Sister Zhou laughed at herself. "Even the strongest can stand it. I really miss the peaches from my hometown. The skin is soft and thin. After peeling it, the inside is tender. The peach flesh is white. It tastes sweet and satisfying."

"I also want to eat apples. They are crispy when you bite them." Sister Mei said.

"It would be nice if I could eat a piece of watermelon in this hot summer." Mother Lu said longingly.

In Beijing, it's just a watermelon, what's the problem? You can eat as much as you want.

녦In this vast Northwest, in this research institute, it is almost impossible to eat a watermelon.

She almost forgot what watermelon tasted like.

Sometimes, Lu's mother wondered what she wanted at her age. Would it be nice to return to Beijing and enjoy life as a rich lady? The conditions in the northwest were so harsh, and here she was like an ascetic monk, and she could see it in front of her son and daughter-in-law.

But the development of the motherland needs these scientists. They must shine in their posts, promote the construction of the motherland, make the country richer and stronger, make the country better, and enable the people to live a better life.

This is also the goal she and her partner strive for throughout their lives.

Mother Lu sighed, rubbed her tired and sore eyes, lit the kerosene lamp, and planned to continue to overcome the difficulties.

At this moment, cheers came from the door.

“The seafood truck is here!”

"What seafood truck?" Sister Mei looked up and asked curiously.

"It's the seafood truck that was in the newspaper!" Someone at the door said excitedly, "Two seafood trucks have arrived at our research base this time. One is full of seafood, and the other is full of fruit. Our meals will be improved!"

"Oh my god, seafood... I've almost forgotten what seafood tastes like."

"Me too. There are also fruits..."

Someone shouted, "It's time for lunch, let's go to the cafeteria and line up for dinner!"

"Let's go! There will be seafood at our dinner party tonight, hahaha..."

"I wish I had a big apple."

"I want to eat a piece of watermelon."

The scientists walked towards the cafeteria.

The cafeteria of the scientific research base uses credit cards, and scientists eat for free. They can eat as much as they want, depending on the size of their appetite.

The big guys each held a tray and consciously lined up in a long queue waiting.

At that time, the line was not so long, but the next day, when the news came that a seafood truck had arrived at the base, all the people in the research base came and the line was very long.

"Don't worry, everyone has one." The cafeteria uncle said with a smile.

"Will it be available tomorrow?" someone asked.

"Our research base has signed an agreement with Haidao. Haidao will provide our research base with seafood and fruits at prices lower than the market price. From now on, we can all eat the freshest ingredients!" The uncle in the cafeteria smiled.

"Very good!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"I never thought that we could eat seafood that only people living along the coast can eat, as well as tropical fruits, every day..." everyone said excitedly.

Father Lu looked ahead, then looked at Mother Lu and said excitedly, "I just saw a crab the size of a palm!"

"I almost forgot what crab tastes like." Lu's mother said with a smile.

"There is also a fruit buffet area with cut cantaloupe, peaches, watermelons, mangoes..." Father Lu said excitedly, "With fruits, we won't lack vitamins anymore."

"Yes." Mother Lu sighed.

Each scientist had a large crab, several large shrimps, a braised fish, and some freshly cut fruits on their plates.

Everyone sat at the dining table and ate.

While eating, someone shed tears, "I haven't tasted peaches for a long time."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that we could eat the freshest fruits in Kiev." Someone choked up.

"This cantaloupe... tastes a lot like the honeydew in my hometown." Someone wiped away tears.

They have devoted their lives to science and their motherland, and they feel the hardship. They haven't eaten fresh fruit or seafood for a long time. The moment they tasted it, they couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

"Is the watermelon sweet?" Father Lu looked at Mother Lu with a smile.

"Sweet." Mother Lu's eyes were moist.

"Thanks to Shen Li! If she had invented this fresh-keeping car, we could also eat these!" Someone in the crowd sighed.

"Yes, Mr. Lu has married a good daughter-in-law! She is young and has great potential!"

"Why don't I have the luck to have such a good daughter-in-law?"

Everyone is jealous.

When talking about their daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lu straightened their backs a little, their faces full of pride.

"Of course. It's a blessing for our whole family to marry such a good daughter-in-law!" said Father Lu with a smile.

——

Here, Shen Li's canned food has produced a variety of different flavors.

She pickled some dried sea fish, dried squid, and dried cod, packed them, and sent them to her parents-in-law.

The conditions there are harsh and cold, so we make these foods ourselves to improve their diet.

"Wife." Lu Jingchuan walked in from the door, his cold and handsome face showing some tenderness, "I have good news for you."
