Chapter 241 Preparing a Surprise for My Wife
"This is all thanks to the unmanned combat aircraft and tank guns," Gu Yiye said modestly.
A moment later, he asked with a proud look, "The unmanned combat aircraft and tank gun were designed by my wife and professors from Xinghuo University of Science and Technology. Did they receive any rewards?"
"You little rascal, you keep putting off your own reward, but you're eager to take your lover's," the award presenter teased with a smile.
This battle demonstrated China's national power, allowed the world to rediscover China, witnessed the innovation of Chinese weaponry, and saw that China was beginning to truly become militarily strong.
There are definitely rewards for designing weapons.
"General Ren Shiyou has already reported your wife's reward. The propaganda officer should be heading to the school by now."
When Gu Yiye heard the word "school," his eyes became even more eager, and he wanted to go back to school as soon as possible. He hadn't seen his wife for more than half a month.
After all the soldiers' medals for meritorious service were awarded, Gu Yiye breathed a sigh of relief and was about to drive back to school when Ren Shiyou stopped him.
"Ah Ye, bring Shan Shan home for dinner tonight. Your third uncle and Shanhe Wuyang will be there to celebrate your success." The old man smiled proudly.
As Gu Yiye got into the car, he replied, "Okay, Grandpa, I'll go pick up Shanshan from school."
Suddenly remembering something, Gu Yiye got out of the car and said to Ren Shiyou, "Grandpa, don't tell Shanshan that I rewarded her with a house. Tell Uncle San too, but don't let it slip."
General Ren was taken aback. His grandson would tell his granddaughter-in-law everything, so what was wrong with him today? He asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"
Gu Yiye lowered his head shyly and said, "Shanshan's birthday is coming soon, and I want to give her a surprise."
Ren Shiyou understood; young people these days are really romantic.
Unlike their generation, back then, he could give Grandma Gu Yiye a piece of braised pork as a token of their love.
Lin Shanshan was unaware that her man had returned. Gu Yiye's departure prompted her to move up the launch date of her mobile phone.
If I had a cell phone, I could call my husband or send him a video call when he's not busy, just to hear his voice and see him online...
The last snow has long since melted, and today the snowflakes are dancing in the sky again.
As Lin Shanshan emerged from the mobile phone R&D lab, she unconsciously began reciting poetry while gazing at the snowflakes.
"One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten pieces, thousands, tens of thousands, countless pieces..."
Before Lin Shanshan could finish reciting, she heard the voice she had been longing for, which finished the last line of the poem for her.
"Flying into the plum blossoms, yet never to be seen."
Lin Shanshan turned around and saw the man she had been longing for walking quickly toward her. She pinched her cheek.
Yes, it hurts, it's not a dream....
"Ah Ye..." Lin Shanshan threw herself into the man's arms, tears of happiness blurring her vision.
She had a thousand words in her heart, but at this moment she couldn't say a single one. She could only hold her husband tightly and murmur "A-Ye" over and over again.
Gu Yiye held his young wife in his arms, feeling immense satisfaction, and his body temperature gradually rose.
However, now is not the time to pour out one's heart, as the propaganda officer has already arrived at the school gate.
They are presenting the "Glorious Unit" plaque to Xinghuo Science and Technology School with great fanfare.
Gu Yiye wiped away Lin Shanshan's tears and said gently, "Wife, let's go pick up the plaque first, and then go to Grandpa's house for dinner."
"Okay, honey." Lin Shanshan nodded, responding in a soft, sweet nasal voice.
On the way there, I called up three professors who had worked with me on designing fighter jets and tank cannons.
The lecturers and teaching assistants who didn't have classes heard the sound of gongs and drums and went to watch the excitement.
The group arrived at the school gate in a grand procession. Upon seeing them, the propaganda officer had a gleaming plaque brought to the front and said, "This is an award from the organization to Xinghuo University of Science and Technology for its achievement in designing advanced weapons. May I ask, who is the principal?"
"Hello, I'm the principal." Lin Shanshan stepped forward with a polite smile.
The propaganda officer, a man who had seen his share of big events, was stunned for two seconds upon seeing such a young principal, especially since she was a woman.
However, it only lasted two seconds. After all, the person in charge was quite professional.
"Hello comrade, congratulations! I never expected the principal of this prestigious unit to be so young. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."
Lin Shanshan humbly replied, "Not at all, it's all thanks to the professors."
Security Director Li Bing was very perceptive. Without Lin Shanshan's instructions, he led several security guards to accept the "Glorious Unit" plaque.
He immediately asked Lin Shanshan for her opinion: "Principal Lin, where should this be hung?"
Lin Shanshan said, "Of course, it should be hung at the school gate."
In the 1970s, being a "Glorious Unit" was not something that could be obtained easily; such a great honor would certainly be displayed in the most conspicuous place.
The staff member was very pleased to see how much Lin Shanshan valued him, and his face beamed with a smile.
Snow was falling from the sky. Lin Shanshan wanted to invite the staff member in for a cup of tea, but he politely declined: "Thank you for your hospitality, Principal. I appreciate it, but the roads are slippery in the snow, so I need to drive back as soon as possible."
After saying that, he took out a large red envelope and handed it to Lin Shanshan, saying, "This is a 2,000 yuan bonus for the R&D designers."
This was an honor, and Lin Shanshan accepted it with both hands and thanked him.
Having completed his mission, he returned with his colleagues to report back.
Congratulations, Principal Lin.
As soon as the staff member left, the lecturers and teaching assistants who came over all congratulated Lin Shanshan.
Lin Shanshan smiled and said, "Congratulations everyone. This is an honor for every teacher and student at Xinghuo University of Science and Technology."
"Yes, yes, Principal Lin is absolutely right. We work at Xinghuo University of Science and Technology, and being an honorable unit is our honor."
"To be honest, I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but I came to Xinghuo University of Science and Technology because the salary here is 10% higher than elsewhere. At the time, I thought it was a waste of my talents because it wasn't well-known. Now I'm really glad I chose Xinghuo University of Science and Technology. A good school makes us proud."
"Haha, yes, we'll work harder under Principal Lin's guidance and strive to make Xinghuo University of Science and Technology a nationally renowned university."
"No, we want to achieve a global ranking."
People in this era value honor more than money and material possessions. Incentives from the "Glorious Unit" award led to a surge of grand pronouncements at the school gate.
