After Professor Wu's friendly reminder, no one went up to offer a toast that evening; everyone chose to drink freely.
After dinner, the master and apprentice returned to Sun Zhengguo's room and chatted until nearly midnight before Professor Wu was persuaded to go back to his room to rest.
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye. In these few days, Sun Zhengguo has completed the optimization of both sets of drawings.
The rest is just a matter of time and patience, waiting for everyone to recalculate the parameters.
"Teacher, the blueprints are all finished, and I can go home today."
Professor Wu became anxious when he heard that the student was leaving.
"No rush, Zhengguo. Director Ma will be giving you a farewell dinner tonight. Tomorrow is the weekend, so why don't you stay another night and chat with this old man for a bit longer?"
Seeing Professor Wu's expectant face, Sun Zhengguo finally couldn't bear to refuse and nodded in agreement to his teacher's request.
That evening, having learned from the previous experience, the old men all drank more politely.
After all, we are all cultured people, why would we do something like staged accident?
The next morning, Sun Zhengguo packed his things and prepared to leave. All the experts came out to see him off.
The moment Professor Wu saw Sun Zhengguo get into the car, he couldn't help but lean out the window.
"Zhengguo, you've now been granted access here. Remember to come over often when you have time."
"I will, teacher. I promise that no matter how busy I am with work, I will come at least once a month."
"Okay, it's a deal."
With the student's assurance, Professor Wu took a few steps back and waved happily.
"goodbye."
"Take care, teacher!"
Goodbye, everyone!
After Sun Zhengguo finished saying goodbye to everyone, Staff Officer Lu started the car and slowly drove away.
Half an hour later, the car returned to the compound. Because Sun Zhengguo was there, the car had no trouble getting through and stopped in front of his house.
After getting off the bus, Sun Zhengguo did not rush home, but asked Staff Officer Lu to wait a moment.
Grandpa, Grandma, and their sons, hearing the commotion, all came to the door.
The family didn't even have time to chat before Sun Zhengguo hurriedly went back inside, brought out a case of wine and several packets of tea, and then went to the car.
"Officer Lu, could you please take these things to the teacher and tell him not to be stingy with them? I'll bring them to him next time I visit."
"Sir, Professor Wu will be very happy to see this. Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it."
Staff Officer Lu hurriedly got out of the car to help put the things in, then called out again before calmly driving away.
After he left, Sun Zhengguo re-entered the house. "Grandpa, has anything been going on at home these past few days?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine at home."
After listening to his grandfather's words, Sun Zhengguo felt much more at ease, and then he called Zhou Weimin again.
Only after learning that there was nothing much going on at work did he return to his room, intending to see his wife and daughter.
Ning Xiaowei was feeding her child when she suddenly saw the door being pushed open. She instinctively shifted her body to the right.
But who knew that as soon as she saw who it was, she immediately smiled.
"You're back?"
"You're back. I've come to see you and Yueyue."
As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo leaned close to his daughter and took a deep sniff, saying, "My daughter smells so good."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at where his daughter was eating, and he unconsciously licked his lips.
Ning Xiaowei knew what kind of person her husband was, so she pretended not to see it, and then casually asked a question.
“Zhengguo, my parents came last night. They wanted to ask about Yueyue’s one-month celebration and said they would cover all the expenses, but I refused.”
"Why?" Sun Zhengguo turned his head and asked, puzzled.
"What do you mean, why?" Ning Xiaowei was also completely bewildered. "Didn't you say that if the first son wasn't married, then no one else would be married?"
“Hey! I thought it was something serious. He’s a son, so he should be treated the same way, but I didn’t stipulate that daughters should be treated the same way.”
Ning Xiaowei was immediately amused by Sun Zhengguo's words.
"Hehehe! So, you mean we should do it?"
"Yes, of course we'll do it, and we'll do it big."
Sun Zhengguo delivered the final blow.
As for what my son thinks? That's irrelevant. Even if he has objections, he'll have to swallow them.
The couple chatted for a while longer, then Sun Zhengguo went to the living room and called his sons over.
"Dad has something to tell you. I'm planning to throw a celebration for your little sister's one-month birthday. You guys don't have any objections, right?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest son, Sun Shujie, was the first to speak up: "Dad, let me make this clear beforehand, I welcome this wholeheartedly. She's my only sister, if I don't spoil her, who will?"
The second son, Sun Shukang, was somewhat unconvinced and immediately retorted, "Eldest brother, I don't like hearing you say that. Do you think I, as the second brother, don't dote on my sister?"
“Yes! And my third brother, I have no objection either,” Sun Shusheng quickly added.
Look, aren't the three sons quite reasonable? After listening to their words, Sun Zhengguo was very satisfied.
"Alright! Since you have no objections, it saves me the trouble of taking off my pants to fart. Go do whatever you were doing!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.
Just as the children were about to leave, they saw Sun Dajiang and Lin Wencui walk in from outside.
"Grandpa, Grandma!" The three of them quickly ran forward and greeted her in unison.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why were you all so happy just now?" Sun Dajiang asked rhetorically.
Sun Zhengjie quickly explained, "Grandpa, my dad is back, and he's talking about celebrating my sister's one-month birthday!"
"Oh~"
Only then did Sun Dajiang and his wife notice that their son was sitting in the living room!
"Jung-guk, when did you get back?"
"I just got back. Mom and Dad, please sit down. I have some good news to tell you."
Upon hearing what their son said, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Dajiang quickly sat down on the sofa, and Lin Wencui casually asked a question.
"Zhengguo, are we going to talk about Yueyue's one-month celebration?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengguo shook his head. "Mom, Yueyue's one-month celebration is still a long way off, so let's not talk about it for now. What I want to talk about today is actually related to my dad."
Sun Dajiang, however, remained nonchalant. "Zhengguo, what's all the mystery about? Tell me quickly!"
"Then you'd better hold on tight."
Sun Zhengguo joked, then reorganized his words.
"Dad, I've seen Professor Wu, and we've been together these past few days."
"What?" Sun Dajiang stood up in surprise. "Zhengguo, Professor Wu is back. Is he still on some mission?"
He immediately realized the key point; otherwise, his son would have informed him.
"Dad, please sit down. I can only tell you that Professor Wu is in good health now. He also asked me to give you my regards. As for anything else? I'm not at liberty to say anything."
In fact, Sun Zhengguo was able to reveal so much only with the permission of the organization; any more would not be allowed. This was essentially to let these old friends know that he was safe and sound.
"Hey! I'm relieved that Lao Wu is in good health... Great!" Sun Dajiang sat down again, seemingly lost in some kind of memory.
Seeing his father's expression, Sun Zhengguo didn't know how to comfort him.
However, Professor Wu should be able to return to normal within one or two years, once this research project is completed.
