Because the new research project has been approved, Chen Ke will soon be entering the secret experimental base to conduct research. It is estimated that the results will not be available until the research is completed. Chen Ke gave Wang Jingjiang several instructions regarding the agricultural machinery.
"We must seize the time, especially in the south, where many places can grow two crops of rice. If we can promote this in the spring planting season next year, we will be able to increase grain production significantly next year."
Wang Jingjiang nodded. "Don't worry, I will definitely get this done for you."
Chen Ke escorted Wang Jingjiang to the door to meet up with Wang Fugui and his wife. The couple were overjoyed to learn that Wang Jingjiang had been appointed as a clerical worker at the research institute. After Wang Jingjiang explained the situation, they were both extremely grateful to Chen Ke.
"Thank you so much, Chen Ke."
"Yes, Wang Jingjiang, listen up! You must be extremely diligent in handling the tasks assigned to you by the institute. If you hold Chen Ke back, you'll see what I do to you!"
Wang Jingjiang didn't argue with his father and nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, I'll definitely be on my best."
After saying goodbye to the three, Cheng Zheng picked up Chen Zhi and Chen Yu in the car parked in the yard.
Chen Zhi got out of the car looking like he hadn't had enough, and Chen Yu had already run quickly towards Chen Ke, "Big Brother, what happened? Why did you suddenly have Brother Cheng pick us up?"
Chen Ke smiled at the two of them, "Nothing special, it's just that my older brother is about to start a new research project and may not be able to come out for a long time, so I brought you two over to have a meal together."
Chen Yu forced back her reluctance and disappointment, "Then, how long is a long time?"
"Even my older brother isn't sure this time." Even if he stands on the shoulders of giants, those are the results of decades of painstaking research by generations of researchers. Chen Ke can't guarantee that he will be able to develop it smoothly.
Unlike Chen Yu, Chen Zhi was not sentimental. Upon hearing this, he became curious and excited, and kept asking Chen Ke if he was going to secretly build rockets.
Chen Ke: ""
After having a meal with Chen Zhi and Chen Yu in the research institute's cafeteria, Chen Ke asked Cheng Zheng to take them back, telling them to come to the research institute to find Cheng Zheng or Wang Jingjiang if they needed anything.
Wang Jingjiang will probably head south soon, but his parents will stay at home. Chen Ke has already spoken to them, and they readily agreed. Li Yan even suggested that the two younger children move in with them, but Chen Ke refused.
The two younger children are becoming more and more independent, and Chen Ke believes they are fully capable of taking care of themselves.
As for their living expenses, Chen Ke told Cheng Zheng to send them money once a month, with Chen Yu keeping the money. Although Chen Zhi was working, he probably wouldn't have much money left after becoming a disciple, so Chen Ke still gave him two separate living expenses.
With National Day approaching, Chen Ke realized he might have to break his promise to Feng Liangchen to return to the textile factory to receive the award. He made a special call to Feng Liangchen to apologize.
When Feng Liangchen heard that Chen Ke was going to conduct secret research, he said it was no problem at all and told him to go ahead. He said that these were all minor matters and could not compare to the important national affairs of scientific research.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ke called Professor Zhang and Professor Jiang one by one. Both professors expressed their support for his work and were very pleased that Chen Ke had made so many research results in such a short period of time. Professor Jiang even exclaimed that the best decision he had ever made was recommending Chen Ke to the research institute.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ke sat in his chair and went through everyone's thoughts again. After making sure he hadn't forgotten anyone, he got up and went to Vice Dean Shi's office.
Chen Ke's paper was very important, but none of the leaders of the research institute expected that it would attract the attention of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which directly transferred Chen Ke to a secret research base in Northwest China.
The importance of that place is self-evident. Chen Ke might not be able to return for a year or two, which is why he said goodbye to his relatives and friends one by one.
Time flies, and October 1st has arrived in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the whole country celebrated, and people in the streets and alleys were in high spirits. Even the increasingly severe food crisis could not dampen their joy.
Factories, schools, and organizations were all actively holding celebrations. Since Chen Ke hadn't returned, Chen Zhi accepted the textile factory's award on his behalf. Looking at the exaggerated red flower in front of him, Chen Zhi smiled broadly as he held the large water cup of the award and faced the workers below who were clapping enthusiastically.
"Wow, this young man is really energetic."
"You don't know? He's Chen Ke's younger brother."
"Oh my, no wonder he looked familiar. He's Chen Ke's brother. He looks like a fine young man."
"That's good. I heard he's already learned to drive. With this skill, he won't have to worry about making a living. Families with daughters should hurry up and get one!"
After stepping down from the stage, Chen Zhi blushed with embarrassment at the teasing from the older women around him, and ran home as if fleeing with his certificate in his arms.
That evening, Chen Yu spread some rice on a plate and solemnly pasted the certificate on the wall.
This is an honor for their eldest brother, and they share in that honor.
"Mom and Dad, do you see how outstanding our eldest brother is? Although we two can't compare to him, we are both working hard to improve. You don't need to worry about us in the afterlife. The three of us are doing very well and are very happy."
Chen Zhi patted Chen Yu's head, "Alright, Mom and Dad know without me saying anything. Stop standing there and make dinner. To celebrate, we're having rice tonight!"

A week ago, Wang Jingjiang boarded a transport vehicle heading south, accompanied by two newly manufactured machines and two technicians. They were going to take these two machines to various county-level cities in the south.
