As the car drove into the courtyard, Yan Rushan lowered his head to look at his wife lying on his lap and called softly, "Wife, we're home."
"Hmm?" I opened my eyes half asleep, seeing a faint light illuminating the dark night sky. "What time is it?"
Yan Rushan looked at his watch in the light, "7:46, almost 8 o'clock."
"It's so late." She rubbed her eyes and tried to push the car door with her mind half-clear. Yan Rushan stopped her and pulled her into his arms. He pushed open the door on his side and helped her get out of the car. "Be careful, don't bump into anything."
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong got out of the car first, and silently looked away when they saw this; after they got out, the two took out lunch boxes from the back seat and went into the house with them.
The lights in the living room were as bright as daylight. Zhong Yuxiu was stimulated and became much more awake. Helped by Yan Rushan, she sat on the sofa and rubbed her forehead to relieve her sleepiness.
"What happened to Yuxiu?" Yan Guofeng asked.
“Ahh…”
The three little kids spoke baby talk as soon as they opened their mouths.
Zhong Yuxiu waved her hands, covered her eyes and tried to open them, then she felt better. "Grandpa, I'm fine. I took a nap in the car."
"You're too busy. Take care of yourself and don't get tired." Yan Guofeng shook his head, feeling a little distressed. "If it really doesn't work out, just put the work on hand aside."
"Nothing. We will train them for three months. They will be relatively idle during these three months." But she dared not let them go. Twenty people had been trained and were talents waiting to be used urgently. Those who were unqualified would be kicked out, and those who were qualified would stay to cooperate with her in research.
It would be even better if you can do independent research.
When recruiting, she had thought about recruiting talents who could stand on their own, but it was not easy to recruit such talents; moreover, their research thinking was fixed, which was not conducive to her research institute.
Is it easier to add a picture to a blank sheet of paper, or to embellish an existing painting?
No one can explain it, but she chooses the blank paper, and it is up to her to draw whatever she wants on it and how it looks; it has nothing to do with others, what is most important is what is comfortable to use.
"Nothing else to do besides training?"
"Not really. During the training period, I still have to take the courses at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Fortunately, the professor at the Medical University didn't assign me any courses." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel lucky that her teacher was retiring and wouldn't force her to take over the school's courses. "By the way, Grandpa, my teacher is coming over for dinner tomorrow. It's been a while since we've been together. The teacher was away on a business trip in Beijing. Let's have dinner together tomorrow."
Yan Guofeng nodded and said, "What dishes should we prepare? Ask Comrade Wang and Comrade Gong to buy them tomorrow."
"That's for sure." Zhong Yuxiu took out the land deeds and certificates she had on her. She put the deed for the research institute into her storage ring; she didn't put the deed and certificate that were allocated to her. "This is the deed and permanent use certificate for Zhongguancun. They were given to me personally by the leader. Brother Yan, when you have time, have someone survey the terrain and prepare the materials for building a house on the ten acres of land in advance."
Yan Rushan took the land deed, took a quick look, and asked, "Sixty acres of land, and only ten acres are used to build a house?"
"Well, we'll use the remaining fifty acres to grow crops and vegetables, and then do some breeding." She planned the site. "You can take care of the fish, shrimp, chickens, and ducks. As for the house, I'm thinking of building a courtyard like a siheyuan. I'll draw the blueprints for you tomorrow."
"Okay, give me the blueprints and I'll find the construction team." Yan Rushan accepted the job. "Once the house is built, will you be living in Zhongguancun permanently?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "Once the house is built, I will definitely move in. Then, you and Grandpa can move in too! Grandpa stays in the courtyard all day long, so it would be good for him to go out for a walk."
Yan Guofeng smiled when he heard this, "Okay, since my granddaughter-in-law has asked for it, we must go and live there. Bring the children with us and let them stay in the compound occasionally."
"That's right. A school will be built in Zhongguancun in the future, and the children can study there. They can also come back to the compound and study at the school here. We can make flexible arrangements when the time comes." Zhong Yuxiu thought long-term. Zhongguancun was close to where she worked, but it was far from where Yan Rushan worked. "As for Brother Yan, you can live wherever you want."
Yan Rushan naturally didn't want to live alone. How could he, who already had a wife and children, still want to live alone?
"I want to live with you too, but before we go again, don't we have to repair the road first?" The road to Zhongguancun is very bumpy. If it is smoothed out like the road surface in Beijing, it will take no more than half an hour to get there.
A half-hour drive isn't really that far.
"Your idea is good, but the distance from Shangjing to Zhongguancun is long; building a road will cost a lot of money!" The higher-ups may not be willing to allocate the funds.
"You apply for it, and I'll give you some subsidies, and it will eventually be built."
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head. "No need for your subsidy. I'll talk to Xi Nian. No matter what, we have to allocate tens of thousands of yuan to build the road. It will be fine, no matter what."
"I'll put some stickers on it. It would be best if it can be fixed as soon as possible." He had his concerns and ideas. Not only was it inconvenient because it would take too long to go back and forth, but it would also be troublesome to expand his business to Zhongguancun.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
Only when the road is open can business be done better.
"Zhongguancun is still undeveloped. What kind of business can we do there?"
Yan Rushan said, "As for the breeding business, I have also allocated 20 mu of land in Zhongguancun to grow medicinal herbs and raise bullfrogs."
"When did you buy it?" How could she not know.
"Just a few days ago, you said you liked to eat bullfrogs. We can raise them ourselves. If you want to eat them, just let us know in advance and have them shipped back. It will be safe and convenient to eat." After a pause, he continued, "If we lived in Zhongguancun, it would be even more convenient. We wouldn't have to ship them."
Zhong Yuxiu looked at the man in front of her and smiled, "Brother Yan, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Yan Rushan pinched her hand, looked up at the old man and said, "Grandpa, do you and the children want to go to Zhongguancun? It's a remote place now, with not many people living there. The busiest place is the Medical Research Institute. However, once it is developed, it will definitely become a major area."
Just because the Medical Research Institute is located there, Zhongguancun will definitely be utilized; the surrounding area is likely to be divided up by major research institutes.
"No, it's too far, and the road is not easy to walk on." Yan Guofeng looked down at his great-grandchildren. "The children are young, their bones haven't hardened yet, and it's not good for them to be bumped around."
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan did not force it, as they thought it would be the same if they went after the road was repaired; by then, the house should have been completed.
After dinner, everyone washed up and went to bed. The three little kids were honored to be carried upstairs by their parents to sleep together, which also allowed Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi to relax for the night.
As a result, before the night was over, Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan were exhausted. The three children took turns urinating and defecating; they cried twice when they were hungry and wanted to eat, and cried twice when they needed to defecate. The key point was that they couldn't find the problem, and they didn't know why the children were gone. In the end, they were taken away by Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi.
