Chapter 115 National Revitalization through Science and Technology
Lin Shanshan sat in the passenger seat, chewing on a duck neck, then eating a fish tail, and after finishing the fish tail, she showed off a bunch of grapes. She was living a very happy life!
Gu Yiye asked with a smile, "Little wife, did you have a great time going out?"
Lin Shanshan's lips turned bright red from the spiciness. She took a sip of the spiritual spring water and replied, "I think it's because the baby in my belly is happy. I'm a bit of a homebody, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed in the underworld for over ten thousand years."
Gu Yiye asked, "What does 'staying at home' mean?"
Lin Shanshan: "It just means I don't like going out. I learned about this future internet slang while browsing Weibo in the underworld."
Gu Yiye smiled and nodded, understanding.
The further north the car drove, the more severe the drought became. In each new place, Gu Yiye would find a secluded hilltop, far away from the crowds, and launch rain-reducing artillery shells.
When they get hungry at noon, they take out a charcoal grill and ingredients perfect for barbecuing, such as meat, fish, and chives, from their space. They find a scenic spot and the couple enjoys a leisurely barbecue.
Lin Shanshan sighed, "I've read some historical novels in the underworld where the female protagonists have spatial abilities. Almost every female protagonist goes to the black market to sell the supplies in her spatial abilities for money. I really can't understand it."
Gu Yiye laughed: "I don't understand either. Just like Yang Wenqing, she has so many things in her space, including food and other necessities. She just has to be careful when using them so that no one can find out. She could live for several lifetimes just by guarding her space."
"Why does she have to flaunt herself on the black market? Even without us, she would be targeted by someone like Brother Dao, and in the end, her space supplies would be stolen, and she herself would die a horrible death."
Lin Shanshan nodded in complete agreement!
Anyway, she won't go to the black market anymore. The first two times she went, she went once to buy wheat seeds that her space didn't have, and once to buy quilts and basins that belonged to this era and were also not available in her space.
She's not stupid; she wouldn't dare bring out a down comforter from later generations!
Gu Yiye handed the grilled prawns to Lin Shanshan and said, "Try it and see if your man's cooking skills have improved?"
Lin Shanshan took a bite; it was slightly spicy and flavorful, tender and delicious. She gave a thumbs up and said, "Delicious."
Then he added, "Brother Gu, please eat more. You've been working hard all day."
Gu Yiye picked up a skewer of grilled sausages, ate it in a few bites, and then started grilling fish for Lin Shanshan, saying, "I'm not tired. I was much more tired when I was in the army."
When Lin Shanshan saw the unusual light in Gu Yiye's eyes when he talked about the army, she said, "Brother Gu, I have many feelings about the things I've encountered since I was reborn."
Gu Yiye looked up, gesturing for Lin Shanshan to continue.
“If your grandfather hadn’t been hospitalized at my father’s hospital at the time, and if my mother hadn’t brought the photos with her that day, your grandfather might not even know that he has an eldest grandson.”
“If he didn’t know, we wouldn’t go back, because if we didn’t go back, we wouldn’t be able to save Grandpa who has lymphoma.”
Gu Yiye nodded and said, "Indeed, thankfully!"
Lin Shanshan added, "If I hadn't taken away Yang Wenqing's space, I wouldn't have been able to use the artificial rainmaking shells. Without artificial rain, half of China's population would have gone hungry this year."
"But the strength of the two of us is too limited!"
“Brother Gu, when we go back this time, we’ll ask our parents and grandfather to transfer us back to Haishi. I want to set up schools, middle schools, and universities in Haishi to train scientists.”
"A strong youth makes a strong nation; science and technology revitalize the nation!"
Moved by Lin Shanshan's impassioned words, Gu Yiye also expressed his own wish: "Wife, I want to go back to the army. I don't think I'm cut out for studying, but I can defend the country with a gun!"
Lin Shanshan nodded and said, "I strongly support your return to the army, but you still need to study. At the very least, you need to be familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War. Moreover, in the future, our military field will become increasingly technological!"
Gu Yiye imagined the future Lin Shanshan described, and tears welled up in his eyes!
In the 1970s, China was not developed, and was even backward. If the future were as my wife described, it would be such a prosperous era!
Gu Yiye asked one last question: "My dear wife, since you know that our country will be so prosperous in the future, why do you still want to start a school yourself? It's very tiring, you know?"
Lin Shanshan said with utmost seriousness, "The new China I see was not achieved by lying down and complacency. The brilliant new era I see was won by generations of scientists, scholars, and soldiers who went forward one after another, devoted their hearts and souls, and even gave their lives!"
"And I, as a descendant of the Chinese nation, should do my part, however small!"
