Upon hearing that there was a gift, a beautiful seashell wind chime at that, the two children's eyes lit up like stars, and their steps became even more cheerful as they skipped and hopped after Xie Yan into the house.
Xie Yan knew that his wife had been working overtime every day recently, so he knew without guessing that today would be no exception.
He thoughtfully packed her food in advance and put it in a thermal container.
Sure enough, Yu Yuehui hadn't returned by lunchtime. Xie Yan quickly finished his meal, grabbed his lunchbox, and hurried off to the research institute.
Before even reaching the research institute, Xie Yan could hear a burst of enthusiastic cheers coming from inside, the sounds rising and falling as if they were about to pierce the sky.
When they arrived at the entrance of the research institute, the security guard saw Xie Yan and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he remembered the situation inside and said with a smile, "Dr. Xie, you've come back just in time. Please come in."
As Xie Yan entered the research institute, he immediately understood the meaning behind the security guard's meaningful smile.
It turns out that the research group my wife belongs to has successfully cultivated high-yield wheat.
The entire research institute was immersed in a joyful and excited atmosphere, with everyone's face beaming with happiness and pride.
Especially Yu Yuehui, as the main force of their experimental group, is now humbly accepting everyone's compliments.
She stood in the very center of the crowd, shining brightly.
Xie Yan could no longer contain his smile, his eyes filled with pride for his wife.
He knew better than anyone the effort Yu Yuehui had put into this high-yield wheat; he had been paying attention to it and conducting research since Xiliu Village.
Since joining the research institute, she has devoted herself to this research project. Over the years, she has spent countless days and nights studying diligently and trying again after countless failures. Now, their efforts have finally borne fruit, and Xie Yan is overjoyed for his wife.
He watched her from afar, radiant as she stood in the crowd.
Xie Yan regretted not buying a bouquet of flowers when he left home, but when he thought of what was in his pocket, his smile widened. The necklace was originally a gift he had specially picked out for her when he returned from the pearl farming area, but he had to temporarily requisition it.
Xie Yan looked at Yu Yuehui with a smile, his eyes full of love and admiration.
After receiving congratulations from her colleagues in other groups, Yuehui seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.
She spotted Xie Yan smiling broadly at a glance. Forget everything else, she ran over without hesitation, threw herself into Xie Yan's arms, and said excitedly, "You're back!"
Xie Yan hugged his wife tightly, feeling her warmth, and smiled as he replied, "You're back~"
He really wanted to hold his wife like that forever and never let go, but looking at his colleagues around him, he could only reluctantly let go.
Soon, colleagues gathered around, taking turns praising Yu Yue's return to Xie Yan.
Xie Yan smiled and readily accepted all the praise, agreeing wholeheartedly and occasionally adding, "Yes! Comrade Yu Yuehui is indeed very outstanding."
"Yes, yes, yes, he is simply a typical example of someone who is both talented and hardworking."
"Oh, who can disagree? Comrade Yu is indeed much more capable than me."
"At most, I can only treat illnesses, but Comrade Yu's actions have benefited people all over the country!"
Yu Yuehui was a little embarrassed by those exaggerated remarks.
Looking at Xie Yan's sincere smile, and seeing that he was not at all dissatisfied because his wife was more outstanding than him, but instead looked proud and proud of his wife, the director of the research institute couldn't help but smile as well.
Xiao Yu has found a good husband. A couple should support each other, that's how it should be.
Instead of being like some people who can't stand their wives being slightly more capable than them!
When Xie Yan and Yu Yue returned home, the two children gathered in the living room to wait for them.
Upon seeing them, Xie Yan enthusiastically boasted to the children about his daughter-in-law's great achievements.
His eyes shone with undisguised pride as he spoke, not only recounting the success of the research but also vividly describing the hardships and perseverance Yu Yuehui endured in the process of studying high-yield wheat.
The children listened intently, and when they heard that their mother had discovered such amazing wheat, Yangyang and Tangtang opened their mouths wide in surprise, their eyes widening like saucers, filled with excitement and admiration.
They couldn't wait to run to Yu Yuehui's side, like two happy little birds, circling around her and praising her. Because Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui often praised them, these two children had become very good at praising.
And so, a two-hour-long praise session was launched right around Yu Yuehui.
Finally, Yangyang, his face flushed with excitement, exclaimed in his final statement, "Mom, you're amazing! You're a superhero!"
Tangtang chimed in, "Yes, yes, Mom, you're the hero of our family!"
Back when Yu Yuehui was still in school, they would return to Xiliu Village every summer when Yu Yuehui had a break.
That time of year was when the wheat was ripening, and golden waves of wheat rolled in the wind, filling the entire village with the fragrance of wheat.
Although these two children grew up in the bustling city of Beijing, they were extremely familiar with wheat.
After all, they participate in the wheat harvest every year.
Every year when the wheat ripens, Yu Yuehui and Xie Yan participate in the harvest.
Since Xie Yan, that lazybones, had already given birth, how could the children be idle? They also went to work in the fields with the adults.
Although harvesting wheat was extremely tiring, with the scorching sun and sweat soaking their clothes, the children's eyes held a unique kind of joy.
During the wheat harvest, grasshoppers that suddenly jump out or small thorny fruits on the field ridges are their source of joy.
On their way home from work, the children almost always carried a grasshopper trap made of wheat straw, from which came the clear chirping of grasshoppers. The children would even compare their traps, and whoever's grasshopper didn't chirp would be looked down upon.
Wheat has become an indispensable part of their childhood memories.
Upon hearing that their mother had discovered a high-yield wheat variety, they subconsciously compared it to the familiar land of their hometown.
In an instant, they clearly realized that such a high yield of wheat would bring about earth-shattering changes to their hometown.
Yangyang's eyes lit up with excitement, and he could already picture vast, golden wheat fields in his mind, as if he could see the grand scene of a bountiful harvest.
He held Yu Yuehui's hand tightly and asked eagerly, "Mom, Mom, can the grains you've researched be planted in our hometown first?"
"Then we'll go home and harvest wheat together?" His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he could already see his family busy and happy in the wheat field.
Tangtang thought things through more thoroughly than Yangyang. She tilted her head, her eyes darting around, and immediately replied, "Our hometown is quite arid, making it perfect for experimental fields." Her little face was full of seriousness and determination. She had read books on this topic, and every new variety developed through research had to undergo trials in experimental fields.
