"As for what effect they will produce, I have no idea." Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and sighed, feeling a little regretful.
Yan Rushan understood, a smile in his eyes, and said soothingly, "That's their problem. You have to take good care of yourself now and don't overwork yourself. If there's anything else, just push it off. You just gave them the drawings, and there's no telling when they'll give you a result."
"You don't have anyone available, so you have to give it to them." If Yan Rushan had capable people, why would he give up such a good TV business?
The few research results she had given away were enough to satisfy her superiors; for the remaining items, she planned to give one every few years. She still had to focus on herself, regardless of whether there were more. Furthermore, philanthropy was something she had to put on the agenda.
"Brother Yan, take a look, do you have anyone capable of doing charity? I need someone like that."
"You said you wanted to donate the dividends to charity. I didn't expect you still remember it?" Others would never give out so much money easily.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "Of course I remember what I said. This money is just sitting there in my hands anyway, so why not do more good deeds? Our country is in a state of disrepair, so I'd better do my bit if I can."
"Giving money to charity can only provide temporary help, but it won't enable those in need to survive."
He thought long-term, and Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "I can't help them for a lifetime, so I want to build orphanages and nursing homes. If possible, I would also like to establish some schools and provide them with scholarships every year to help children with poor lives but excellent academic performance find a way out."
In the context of generally low economic levels, many children drop out of school. This is not just a matter of children dropping out of school; it is also a problem of talent. Who knows how many of these children who drop out of school are outstanding talents who may reach the top of various industries in the future?
The only thing she can do is to help as many children as possible.
Yan Rushan seemed to be lost in thought. Zhong Yuxiu said nothing, but just watched him think quietly. After a while, Yan Rushan began to speak.
“It’s a good idea, but it’s so difficult to actually implement it.”
"Every walk of life is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you get on the right track, I think it is not difficult." By taking one step at a time, you can always make a path; as more people walk on it, it will become a wide and flat road.
"Brother Yan, I'm not short of money and I can make a decent living. Since I have this ability, I want to do more good things." Apart from other things, she should just cherish talent. "Besides, have you ever thought that poor families in mountainous areas can't afford to send all their children to school? There will definitely be some gifted children who drop out of school. What will they be able to do when they grow up?"
"The economy has opened up, but they have no education, no knowledge, and when they grow up they can only rely on hard labor to earn a living. They clearly have the opportunity to change their fate and become people who can add bricks and tiles to the country and make great contributions, but they are buried in this way. Isn't it a pity?"
"Society will be even more brutal in the future, and the pace will accelerate... Never mind, let's not talk about that. Let's just say that even if only a few of these people can make significant contributions, that's still a win, isn't it?"
For the first time, Yan Rushan seriously considered the feasibility of philanthropy. In the past, he had only supported her in whatever she wanted to do. But now, after hearing her words, he began to agree a little. He saw how his grandfather's generation worried about the lack of talent for the country. If only there were a few people who could support the country, his grandfather's generation wouldn't have worried so much.
"Wife, if grandpa heard what you said, I don't know how relieved he would be."
"He would definitely slap his thigh and say: Oh my god, my granddaughter-in-law is the most thoughtful. If there were more granddaughters-in-law like me with high ideological awareness, our country would be prosperous!" This was a bit exaggerated, but she indirectly described some of Grandpa Yan's demeanor.
Yan Rushan shook his head and laughed, then hugged the man into his arms, "You are naughty."
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help laughing after she finished learning. The couple smiled and talked and time passed quickly. Before they knew it, it was midnight. They washed up, lay on the bed and talked for a while before falling asleep.
The next day.
Yan Rushan got up early, but Zhong Yuxiu was still sleeping soundly.
Goudan heard the noise and walked out of the laboratory, following Yan Rushan out of the bedroom. After the bedroom door was closed, Yan Rushan said to Goudan, "Don't wake Yuxiu. Let her get enough sleep before getting up. I won't be home for breakfast. I'll be back at noon."
Goudan didn't respond. Yan Rushan knew that it could understand, so he didn't care whether it responded or not. He went to the bathroom to wash up and left. The house returned to peace again.
It was just dawn outside when Yan Rushan returned to the Yan family in the morning light.
Yan Ruhai was still sleeping. Old man Yan was old and slept less, so he was already up and sitting on the sofa in the hall reading the newspaper.
"grandfather."
The newspaper moved down a step, and Old Man Yan raised his eyelids and looked in the direction of the voice. "You're back. Why are you here so early today?"
"I came to see you, Xiaohai is still sleeping?" Yan Rushan walked up and sat down opposite him.
"Yeah." He moved the newspaper back to its original position and continued reading.
This is how the grandfather and grandson talk every day. Yan Rushan is used to it and slowly drops a bombshell piece of news.
"Grandpa, Xiu'er is pregnant."
"Huh?" The newspaper moved down an inch, and the old man's eyes were confused.
Yan Rushan's eyes were filled with smiles, and he said calmly, "Xiu'er, Yuxiu, my wife is pregnant."
"I have a great-grandson?" Grandpa Yan threw the newspaper away, his eyes shining, and he was so excited that it was hard to describe.
"Yes, you have a great-grandson, and I'm going to be a father too."
“Well done!”
Old Master Yan laughed heartily. "I've waited so long, and finally it's here. Dashan, well done. Let's go check on Yuxiu. Can she eat now that she's pregnant? Is her morning sickness severe?"
Yan Rushan is as steady as an old dog.
"I'm feeling sleepy because of pregnancy, and I haven't gotten up yet. I came back to tell you, remember to call my parents and tell them I'm going to find something edible for Yuxiu. She can't eat any meat at home, even the slightest bit of fishy smell."
"Then you go, I'll go to your house and wait for Yuxiu to wake up."
Old Master Yan laughed heartily, his whole body immersed in joy. He went upstairs and put on his military coat. After coming down, he didn't care whether his eldest grandson was still there or his second grandson had gotten up. He went straight to Zhong Yuxiu's house.
Yan Rushan shook his head, his face full of helplessness, and left the compound with a happy heart.
The door of Zhong Yuxiu's house was ajar. Old Man Yan knocked on the door. Goudan heard the noise and came out to open the door. When he saw the old man, he invited him in. After the old man entered, he closed the door and went to the kitchen to busy himself.
