Yi Mengling thought that apologizing was embarrassing enough, but she didn't expect to have to write a self-criticism and read it aloud in public. She didn't dare to think about how others would view her in the research institute afterward.
The loudspeaker announcement ended, and Yang Yufen left satisfied.
Having already tasted the food at the research institute's canteen, Yang Yufen knew that delivering meals was possible, so she began delivering meals every day.
"Mom, there's no need to go to so much trouble. The food in the cafeteria is pretty good too."
Qin Nian, worried that her mother-in-law would be overworked, couldn't help but speak up.
Yang Yufen simply nodded, looking at her daughter-in-law whose complexion was much better than before, and continued delivering the food.
No matter how good the canteen food was, it didn't fatten my daughter-in-law up at all. Home-cooked meals are still the best. It's just that the two hens don't lay many eggs, but luckily we still have meat coupons to get some meat.
The work in Qin Nian's laboratory made significant progress, so much so that Qin Nian, who thought she would be busy for half a month, ended up being busy for almost two months, from autumn to winter.
But the results were encouraging, and everyone in the laboratory cheered with joy.
"Everyone did a great job. You're all on a three-day holiday. Come back immediately after your break so we can proceed with the next phase of the experiment."
As soon as Dean Hu spoke, the already excited crowd almost wanted to lift him up to celebrate. Fortunately, they all remained calm, fearing that Dean Hu's health might not be able to withstand their exertion.
"I'm going to sleep for three days straight!"
"Me too! Me too!"
"I need to buy winter clothes, Niannian, do you want to come along?"
Xiao Ranran moved closer to Qin Nian.
Qin Nian paused for a moment, then shook her head.
“I’m planning to take my mother-in-law shopping, so I probably won’t have time to go shopping with you. My mother-in-law has been taking care of me ever since she came to live with us, and I haven’t taken her out shopping yet.”
Moreover, her newlywed husband has been away on a mission for two months now, and there's still no news of him. She's been too busy to pay attention to these things during this time, and she doesn't know how worried her mother-in-law must be.
Yang Yufen, who should be anxious, is currently feeding the chicks in the greenhouse.
"You've raised these chicks so well, so many of them are still alive. They're so plump and adorable."
The chicks that were originally the size of a child's fist have now all grown to over a pound, almost two pounds. The cages have been replaced again and again. The accumulated chicken manure not only fertilizes the soil in the greenhouse but also increases the temperature inside.
Five out of thirty chicks have perished, which means the survival rate is extremely high.
Yang Yufen helped Aunt Liu set up a greenhouse, but Aunt Wang only grew a little bit of vegetables to eat, and planted potatoes on the rest of the land.
I came over for a visit. Yang Yufen was feeding the chickens, so I came to join in the fun.
"Your vegetables look better than mine."
"Is it because of the good fertilizer or because of Wang Damei's teaching?"
Yang Yufen chopped up the rotten vegetable leaves she picked up from the market and mixed them with bran and rice bran to feed her animals. Although she had to go to the market every day, Yang Yufen didn't find it hard, since she could get more good stuff if she went early.
Yang Yufen also planted potatoes in the field outside the greenhouse. These potatoes were said to be a new variety, given to her by Wang Dameizi, who said that her son had researched them. They each planted some to see how the yield was.
"Mom, I'm home."
Yang Yufen, who was just about to cook some noodles to fill her stomach, heard Qin Nian's voice and, without thinking, cracked two eggs into the boiling water.
"I'm in the kitchen."
Qin Nian parked her bicycle and headed to the kitchen. It was really cold that day, and she was quite chilly after riding back.
"You're off work so early today, can you watch the fire for me while I go pick some vegetables?"
Yang Yufen was only wearing a jacket, not even an overcoat, and before she could finish speaking, she was already out of the kitchen.
Qin Nian watched Yang Yufen's retreating figure, thinking that she should buy her mother-in-law some winter clothes, as winters here are not easy to endure.
