Chapter 334 Dream
Jiang Haitang was flattered and took the note with both hands: "Thank you, Professor Su!"
"You're welcome. Seeing young people like you gives me hope." Professor Su smiled kindly and touched Xiao Chengzi's face again. "You've raised the child very well. If you train him well, he will be a pillar of society in the future."
Jiang Haitang held the piece of paper with the phone number in her hand and looked at Professor Su's straight back, her heart filled with warmth and strength.
During this brief encounter on the journey, this low-key and wise old expert, although not talkative, taught Jiang Haitang a vivid lesson with her calmness, wisdom and the deep-seated feelings for her family and country.
Jiang Haitang put the note away, checked the luggage with Xiao He one last time, and helped Xiao Chengzi put on his coat.
The train slowly pulled into the platform. The familiar platform and broadcast cheered Jiang Haitang up.
As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Haitang saw through the window He Wanyi and Yuan Yinan who were looking forward to it on the platform, as well as Xiao Taozi who was held in Yuan Yinan's arms and was looking towards them intently!
"Mom! Mom!" Little Taozi saw her mother at a glance and waved her little hands excitedly. Her voice could be faintly heard through the glass.
Jiang Haitang's heart was instantly filled with joy and sadness, and all her fatigue was swept away.
She couldn't wait to hold Xiaochengzi and get off the bus with Xiaohe.
After getting off the car, Jiang Haitang handed Xiaochengzi to her mother-in-law He Wanyi.
"Mom!" Xiao Taozi slipped out of Yuan Yinan's arms and threw herself into Jiang Haitang's arms like a happy little bird, hugging her legs tightly. "Mom, I miss you so much!"
Jiang Haitang hugged her daughter in her arms and wanted to lift her up, but she found that Xiao Taozi had grown a lot and could no longer be lifted.
He Wanyi held Xiao Chengzi in her arms, looking at her distressedly, then quickly looked at Jiang Haitang, "Haitang, you must have had a hard time on the journey, right?"
Yuan Yinan helped take the luggage from Xiao He's hand and said, "Comrade Xiangcao, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. This is what I should do. Besides, I have learned a lot along the way." Xiao He said quickly.
This is the truth. If it weren't for this opportunity, perhaps she would never have the chance to go to Huacheng or the capital in her life.
Little Taozi looked up at her mother, then looked at her brother curiously: "Mom, my brother seems to have grown up a lot!"
"Yes, little Taozi has grown up and become a big girl!"
Jiang Haitang kissed her daughter's forehead, but she felt guilty towards her daughter.
On the way out of the station, Little Taozi chattered non-stop, talking about interesting things in kindergarten, how much she missed her mother and brother, and the new dress her grandmother and aunt bought for her.
He Wanyi and Yuan Yinan also asked carefully about the situation on the road and the recent situation of their old friends in Jincheng.
Sitting in the car on the way home, looking at the familiar streets of Beijing outside the window and listening to the laughter of her family around her, Jiang Haitang felt how lucky she was.
Everything will be fine when Lu Liangchen comes back and the family is reunited.
Back at the Lu family's old house, it was naturally lively again.
Little Taozi, who has been away from her mother for more than a month, clings to her mother like a little tail, wishing to make up for all the longing she has felt for her mother over the past few months.
Jiang Haitang also tried her best to let Xiao Taozi feel her mother's love, so that the little girl would not feel uncomfortable and think that her mother loved her younger brother more.
He Wanyi and Yuan Yinan prepared a sumptuous welcoming banquet. During the meal, they asked about Lu Liangchen's life and work in Jincheng.
When the Lu family learned that Jiang Haitang was going there this time and had recognized godparents, they were actually very surprised.
After all, if Jiang Haitang had not recognized Old Jiang, it would be understandable for her to recognize him as a godparent, but now that Haitang has found her blood relative, why would she still recognize him as a godparent?
But He Wanyi and other people in the Lu family did not question this.
"Since Haitang is able to recognize her relatives, she must be someone trustworthy. I believe in Haitang's judgment." Mr. Lu concluded.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"When your grandfather comes back, tell him about it, and we will be considered as real relatives." Mr. Lu said again.
"My grandfather is not in the capital?"
"He will be back the day after tomorrow." Mr. Lu did not tell Mr. Jiang where he was going, but only told him the time when he would be back. Jiang Haitang knew that she could not ask any more questions.
Next, Jiang Haitang had two days of vacation. After resting for two days to relieve the fatigue of the journey, Jiang Haitang immediately got back to work.
She first went to the Ministry of Light Industry to find Mr. Chen to report, and handed him the thick technical notes, inspection report and preliminary technical improvement suggestions of the trip.
As Mr. Chen flipped through the report, which was well-organized and insightful, his eyes became more and more filled with admiration, especially the part about correcting key data and proposing alternative optimization solutions for domestic material processes.
"Haitang, you've gained a lot from your trip south this time! This report is priceless!" Elder Chen said excitedly. "The department is preparing for a project launch meeting, and your report will serve as an important basis for project establishment and technical reference!"
"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. You can wait until you return to the capital to sort it out. You look even thinner than before!"
Jiang Haitang pinched her chubby face and said with a smile: "No, I think it's okay!"
"Don't take advantage of your youth to ruin your body. Your body belongs to the country. You must take good care of yourself and serve the country!" Mr. Chen said very seriously.
Next, Mr. Chen told Jiang Haitang about the upcoming work arrangements, which were indeed different from before.
Jiang Haitang's life thereafter was mainly devoted to research.
After agreeing on a time to go to the laboratory, Jiang Haitang went to the publishing house and handed the translated novel manuscript to Lu Xiaogu.
Looking at the neat, fluent, and beautifully written translation, Aunt Lu was pleasantly surprised. "Haitang, your efficiency is incredible! And the quality is so good! The editor-in-chief will surely be pleased! The royalties and allowance will be settled in a few days. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
On the second day, Jiang Haitang officially started working at his new unit, the Technology Introduction and Digestion and Absorption Project Group of the Ministry of Light Industry.
Her office was arranged near Mr. Chen so that they could communicate at any time.
The project team has just been formed and personnel are still arriving.
At first, some of the more senior comrades in the group couldn't help but feel skeptical and contemptuous when they saw that Jiang Haitang was so young and a female comrade.
However, several people who had gone to Huacheng together before admired Jiang Haitang very much. With the support of these three people in the project team, Jiang Haitang was not sad. On the contrary, he felt like a fish in water.
As for other people who looked down on him, Jiang Haitang felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, as long as he was good enough, he could always make them see his strengths.
Sure enough, Jiang Haitang soon proved himself with his strength.
At the first project discussion meeting, when everyone was arguing over a key term in a foreign-language equipment manual, Jiang Haitang not only accurately translated the original text, but also combined his practical experience at the Huacheng Factory to explain the meaning and impact of the term in the specific process, instantly resolving the dispute.
Only then did the others believe that this beautiful girl, who was said to have an extraordinary family background, still had some remarkable qualities and was not just a pretty face or a person with connections.
However, researchers are somewhat aloof and will not look upon Jiang Haitang with new respect just because of her excellence this time.
But their attitude towards Jiang Haitang was much kinder than before, especially that of several old comrades.
In the subsequent translation and compilation of technical materials, she was fast and accurate. She could not only translate, but also point out unclear statements in the original materials or possible deviations from the actual domestic situation, and provide verification suggestions.
In fact, some of the suggestions and research directions proposed by Jiang Haitang were something they had never thought of before.
Some of the design ideas also caught the attention of several veteran engineers and inspired them.
"Comrade Haitang, how did you come up with these ideas? Why haven't I thought of them before?" Mr. Li said with emotion while holding the sketch drawn by Jiang Haitang.
"Yeah, after all, we are young people, so we have more ideas than the old guys like us!"
"Haitang, we can discuss this direction more. I think the future development trend should be like this..."
Even the old comrades who initially had some opinions had to admit that this young female comrade did have real talent and was a good technical talent.
More importantly, Jiang Haitang is the kind of person who, despite being talented, can still work calmly and attentively.
Her serious attitude and humble personality have won her the favor of old comrades. They feel that this is what young people lack. In recent years, many young people have become more and more impetuous, and fewer and fewer can calm down and do their work.
This made them feel even more that Jiang Haitang was truly precious.
During this time, she wrote letters to Gu Yundi, Shu Qihua, and Director Mao in Jincheng, reporting her safety and briefly explaining her new job. Soon, she received their replies, each filled with concern and encouragement.
Outside of work, Jiang Haitang's life remains busy and fulfilling.
I work during the day and have to spend time with my two children when I get home at night.
After the children go to bed, she still has to squeeze out time to study. Although there is still a year left, Jiang Haitang feels that she should start reviewing in advance.
She wants to take part in the first college entrance examination and become a well-educated and capable person.
In addition, Jiang Haitang accepted the translation work of the second foreign book given to her by Lu Simin. With this job, Jiang Haitang's life and work became even busier.
"Haitang, you don't have to work so hard. Although our family may not be rich, we have enough food and clothing."
Seeing her daughter-in-law working so hard, He Wanyi felt very sorry and thought that Jiang Haitang was working so hard to make money because she felt that the family did not have enough money, so she persuaded her.
"Mom, I just feel that since I have this ability, I should do more and realize my own value instead of being satisfied with my current life."
"Of course, I really like money. I always feel that having more money now can change our lives in the near future."
It would be fine if I didn't have the ability, but there was still hope, Jiang Haitang thought, I must buy a courtyard house in Beijing.
