Principal Guo and Professor Ding looked at each other, their eyes twitching; the smiles on their faces were frozen, which was really funny.
Zhong Yuxiu tried hard to hold back her laughter, "Grandpa, please stop praising me, or your granddaughter-in-law won't be able to see anyone later."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yan Guofeng's face was full of gentleness, and he was absolutely satisfied with Zhong Yuxiu. "Would you two like to come and see the baby? It's white and chubby, so cute."
"That's exactly what I meant."
Principal Guo and Professor Ding stood up and walked over to the crib. They peeked in, their eyes tinged with envy. "He's really good-looking, and quite plump. He's already handsome now, and he's sure to be a handsome young man in the future."
Yan Guofeng's eyes contained a smile, and his aura was restrained to begin with, and now it seemed gentle; the aura he had always held in a high position in the past was unconsciously replaced by a gentle aura, as if he were an ordinary old man playing with his grandchildren.
"Don't be fooled by how plump they are now. When they were born, they were skinny and wrinkled, just like little old men."
"However, they were quite obedient and didn't cause their mother too much trouble. The delivery went smoothly. The doctor said it was rare for Yuxiu to give birth so quickly."
"They can even blow bubbles now. No one taught them, they just learned it without realizing it."
"My great-grandson is very obedient. He only cries when he's hungry or has a bowel movement. He never throws a tantrum and knows how to care for others."
"When they grow up, it will be very impressive to take them out."
.......
What’s so great about having great-grandchildren?
Principal Guo and Professor Ding were devastated, and they became even more envious when they saw the children; they didn't have a great-grandson, but people with great-grandsons were so good at showing off, showing off every minute.
"Li Ji is the best behaved. Sometimes he even holds his brother's hand. The two brothers are so good that if one cries, the others will cry too. When they grow up, I don't know how to take care of them..."
Okay, I can’t afford to offend you. I can’t afford to offend you.
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help laughing, causing Old Master Yan to look over and ask, "What are you laughing at? Is that point wrong?"
"Yes, you're right." He couldn't help but laugh. What did such a young child know? It was just instinct. Even so, the old man could still praise him to the skies. Who knows how he'd spoil him in the future.
Yan Guofeng snorted lightly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said. He felt that his great-grandson had too many merits to list.
Principal Guo and Professor Ding were stunned. This old man lived a life more carefree than them! Surrounded by children and grandchildren, enjoying the peace and quiet, he was really impatient.
"Principal Guo, Professor Ding, please don't mind me; my grandfather is like this. In his eyes, all three children are good, and he can't stop talking about them once he starts." To put it nicely, he's endlessly boastful, and to put it bluntly, he's bragging.
"I understand." Principal Guo and Professor Ding wiped the sweat from their foreheads, feeling envious.
Yan Rushan brought in some refreshments, placing a cup of tea in front of each person. When he brought it to the old man, he paused and said, "Grandpa, don't brag to everyone you meet that you have three great-grandchildren. It makes people hate you if you brag too much."
"Tsk, hate? That's because they don't have it." If they do, they'll brag even more than him!
Yan Rushan smiled faintly, carrying the tray and retreating to Yuxiu's side. He took out two plates of snacks from the tray and placed them on the coffee table. He then spoke to the two elders, "President Guo, Professor Ding, please bear with me. My grandfather is old now. He used to enjoy drinking and eating meat, but now he enjoys entertaining his great-grandson. Please forgive me."
"It's all like that, all like that."
What else can I do? I do have great-grandchildren to show off.
Zhong Yuxiu asked, "How's the lunch preparation going?"
"It's almost ready. Have some snacks to fill your stomach if you're hungry." Yan Rushan moved a plate of snacks in front of her.
"Principal Guo, Professor Ding, lunch will take a while; come over and have some snacks, and let's talk." If the old man continues to brag, Principal Guo and Professor Ding may not dare to come in the future; it's not that he says anything great about the two professors, but showing off is really annoying, and it's easy to offend people, and make them excluded and disgusted.
Principal Guo and Professor Ding looked at the child for a few seconds, then sat down on the sofa opposite Zhong Yuxiu.
"Yuxiu, do you have any new research now?"
"Not yet. I'm free." Shaking her head, Zhong Yuxiu asked, "Do you have a research project?"
Professor Ding nodded. "Neither do I. That's why I came to ask you."
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but sigh, "I do have a project in the works, but it only has a simple framework. I'm not sure if it will be ready for the time being."
"What project is it? Can you tell us about it?" Not only Professor Ding was interested, but Principal Guo also looked happy.
"It's an isolation suit, or radiation-proof clothing. It can block over 90 percent of radiation when worn, and is useful in scientific research."
Principal Guo was a little disappointed. "Isolation suits have long been developed, and some research institutes abroad are using them."
"Really?" Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and smiled, not intending to explain it too clearly; foreign isolation suits can only block 50% of radiation and cannot achieve mandatory radiation protection. The body will more or less accumulate some radiation sources.
It has not been introduced in China yet, so the difference between isolation suits is not known.
Professor Ding looked at her deeply. From his understanding of Zhong Yuxiu, she was not a person without plans. Since she mentioned the isolation suit issue, she must have her reasons.
"Could it be that you want to research different isolation suits?"
"Not really." Zhong Yuxiu glanced at them and said slowly, "You'll know when we figure it out one day."
Principal Guo nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
"It's hard to say."
"Once you decide to research isolation suits, I believe it will not be far from being released." On this point, both President Guo and Professor Ding were surprisingly consistent in their thinking.
After that, they didn't talk about research anymore, just chatted about family matters. When the food was served, everyone washed their hands and sat down. On the table were garlic oysters, clams, steamed fish, old duck soup, stir-fried pork with green peppers, shredded pork with fish sauce, and two vegetarian dishes.
The food was plentiful and the wine was plentiful.
Principal Guo asked to leave, and Professor Ding didn't want to stay for long, so he followed him.
Zhong Yuxiu saw them off and said, "Principal Guo, Professor Ding, take care. Take some rest when you get back so you can be refreshed for work this afternoon."
As people get older, they inevitably become less energetic. Only by getting more rest can they maintain good energy and spirit.
"I know. You should take a rest too. No need to send me off. You still have to go to work at the hospital in the afternoon." Principal Guo and Professor Ding waved goodbye, and the two of them left the compound together.
Going back to the hall, listening to Yan Rushan and the old man bickering was another kind of fun; however, she suspected that the old man might get beaten up one day because he was too good at showing off and attracting hatred.
Life is full of disappointments. If a person always shows off himself, not only will he be disliked, but he will also ruin his popularity. When dealing with others, one should not be too pushy. What matters most is getting actual benefits.
