Xiao Gengwu thought for a while, then picked up the relevant materials and started looking at them. He wanted to finish this project during the holiday, otherwise it would be inconvenient to travel back and forth.
Before I could even read much of the content, Yao Tongjia knocked on the door: "Brother Xiao, Sister Jiayin is here!"
When Xiao Gengwu came out, he only saw He Jiayin and was somewhat surprised: "Alone?"
"I drove here myself, so what?"
"Aren't you two inseparable? Why are you acting alone this time?"
"The effects of what happened before haven't completely subsided, and I'm still injured, so they won't let me handle it. Only Azhu can handle it. Oh, right, Tongtong, Qin Sang went abroad for a while, and she won't be back for a bit!"
Yao Tongjia didn't care: "She doesn't have anything to do here. If I need her to do something, she can do it if she's willing!"
"She wouldn't do it. That guy is incredibly lazy. I had to tempt her with food to get her to go!"
These words made Yao Tongjia laugh: "This foodie is really willing to sell herself for delicious food!"
"Didn't she sell herself to you just for a bite to eat?"
After speaking of Qin Sang, He Jiayin handed the materials to Xiao Gengwu: "They don't want me to worry about many things, so I can only help you finalize these."
“Your materials science professors do have problems, but those students were afraid of not graduating and didn’t dare to say much before. This time, we sent people to find them, and they confessed to everything!”
"I've already submitted the relevant materials to the school, and they can handle it. Are you ready to begin?"
Xiao Gengwu looked at the investigation results and found that most of the teacher's achievements came from his students. He just let his students act as the vanguard while he himself profited from behind the scenes.
Several students defended the teacher, arguing that the problem wasn't with the teacher, but with the students around him—that was truly foolish!
A teacher with such low moral character cannot be allowed to stay any longer. He Jiayin remembered something: "Did you apply for the foundation at Huada University?"
Xiao Gengwu wasn't surprised that He Jiayin knew: "I did apply, was it approved?"
"It's approved. The land grant is quite large, so you can divide it into two courtyards. One courtyard will be for your maternal grandparents, and the other will be for you!"
"My maternal grandparents teach at Huazhong University of Science and Technology?" I had guessed before, and now that it's true, I'm still a little surprised! Is he about to meet the legendary two elderly people?
Seeing Xiao Gengwu looking somewhat dazed, He Jiayin asked curiously, "You haven't met the two elders yet?"
Xiao Gengwu nodded: "When I was born, they left Beijing and have almost lost contact with my mother for the past twenty-odd years."
He Jiayin sighed: "There's nothing we can do. The outside world is eyeing us covetously. They don't want our country to develop. They'll frame us if they can, and kill us if they can't frame us."
"For their personal safety, they must be protected closely. Even their families cannot know where they are. Some people even fake their deaths."
Xiao Gengwu understood: "I understand, but I personally cannot accept this arrangement. I cannot leave Tongtong's side. If anyone makes a suggestion in the future, you must put in a good word for me!"
These words made He Jiayin laugh: "These days everyone is talking about sacrifice, but you're the only one who's different, putting love first?"
"I can only put Tongtong first. Without her, my thinking would be limited. This is no lie!" Xiao Gengwu said seriously to He Jiayin.
He Jiayin had also heard about what happened last time, and nodded: "I understand, I will help you deal with it, you are all my younger brothers and sisters!"
"Uncle Ruan, when will Lele and Axu finish their training?"
"The recruit training was already over, but the two of them were so enthusiastic about participating in wilderness survival. Anyway, they were on leave, so we let them go!"
"But this project is about to start, when will the two of them be back?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "It's alright, I can do it myself from the beginning!"
Ruan Shengpeng thought for a moment and said, "They'll probably be back in about seven days. They're going to join other teams this time, so I'll bring them back and make them focus on doing research."
At first, I thought they wouldn't be able to handle the intensity, but they adapted very well and even developed an interest in it. Now, these two kids are like wild horses that have broken free of their reins and don't want to come back!
Ruan Shengpeng felt a little regretful. Seeing how well Yao Tongxu adapted, could he let him join the army and follow his old path?
Every father hopes his child will follow his own path, especially soldiers, who all hope their children will follow the path of the military.
He couldn't bear to part with his daughter, but surely he could part with the boy?
Ruan Shengpeng looked at Yao Yanxin and said, "Yanxin, how about we let Axu join the army? I see he's having a lot of fun, maybe he's suited for this path."
Yao Yanxin was clearly taken aback. She had never thought about this issue before. Children should make their own decisions about their children's lives.
She thought for a while: "When he was little, Ah Xu was in very poor health. All I asked of him was that he could get up and eat by himself, instead of lying in bed all day."
"Now he can run and jump, and he has a few good friends. I have no expectations for him. It's up to him. If he wants to, I have no objection!"
"Of course, if I had to choose, I would definitely prefer him to have a less dangerous job. You know your job is quite dangerous!"
"I don't have lofty ideals. I'm just an ordinary mother who only hopes that my child can live a safe and peaceful life!"
These words reminded He Jiayin of her own mother. Her mother probably thought the same way. This time when she came back, she kept putting her in charge of things in China and wouldn't let her go out.
Jun Nanzhu, even though he knew his wounds had long since healed, still cooperated with his parents to persuade him to rest well and even said he wanted to have a child.
He never mentioned having children before, which made his mother-in-law cook nourishing foods for him every few days, fearing that he had too many wounds and wouldn't be able to get through childbirth.
It's good that people care, but He Jiayin was taught from a young age to be ready to sacrifice herself to strengthen her country.
Yao Yanxin's words cooled Ruan Shengpeng's burning passion, and he decided to let the child choose for himself.
"When they come back, I'll ask Xu. If he's interested, he can try to get it himself. If not, it's fine to let him continue on the path of scientific research!"
The Ruan family are all rough, hardened men who served in the military; not a single one of them has actually pursued a career in scientific research. He glanced at Xiao Gengwu, thinking that he must have been influenced by the young man.
Just then, someone rushed in: "Commander, something's happened! Ah Xu and Jia Le are both injured!"
These words shocked everyone. Yao Yanxin couldn't even stand up, and Yao Tongjia, Xiao Gengwu, and He Jiayin ran out with the newcomers!
