The two of them were having a very pleasant conversation. When Yan Rushan came out and saw this scene, he turned and went to the main hall.
"Grandpa, Yuxiu." Yan Guofeng and Zhong Yuxiu sat in the main room, talking about building a wall while mixing in the children's topics. They could chat about anything and everything.
Yan Guofeng turned his head to look at his eldest grandson, "Why are you here? Why aren't you entertaining guests outside?"
"They know each other now, so it's good for them to chat more. Village chief Wang will have to step in to hire people in the village later. I can't watch them all the time, so you, grandpa, will have to step in when the time comes." Yan Rushan walked to Zhong Yuxiu's side, glanced at her and saw that she was looking at the children seriously without even looking at him. He turned his head to look at the children, and the look was so irritating no matter how he looked at them.
"Is there anything that requires my involvement?" Yan Guofeng's expression was gentle.
Yan Rushan said, "Building a wall around three hundred acres of land is a huge project. Grandpa will have to go there several times a day." He didn't expect Grandpa to understand the quality of materials or what cutting corners meant, but it would be enough to scare him temporarily.
He takes care of the rest. Every day after coming back, he will go to the construction site to make sure that the walls are strong and durable, and the workmanship is good, just like the yard he bought. Even after being abandoned for decades, the wall is still usable.
Moreover, it is strong and sturdy, and there is no problem in using it now.
"I see." Yan Guofeng said lightly, not intending to pay much attention to his grandson. He said to Yuxiu, "You've been too busy lately. Have you ever thought about taking a few days off? Let those people at the research institute relax too."
Not knowing why he asked this, Zhong Yuxiu followed her thoughts and slowly shook her head, "Hold on for three months. After that, I'll spend a year fully training the remaining people. Once they can handle things on their own, I'll withdraw at the appropriate time."
"Be independent..." The tone is distant and the breath is deep.
Zhong Yuxiu was confused and waited for what was going on. However, Old Master Yan showed no interest in continuing. She waited in vain, "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing. It's fine to let them take charge while you can withdraw from it. But you can't let the research institute get out of control." The higher-ups delegated power and gave Yuxiu the greatest authority so that the Medical Research Institute could stand out among a number of medical research institutes and benefit the people.
The talents displayed by Zhong Yuxiu caught the attention of her superiors; while she was conducting independent research and development, the Medical Research Institute in Beijing was also handed over to her.
"Grandpa, I understand. The core things are in my hands. I can let them stand on their own, and I can also beat them down." If what he learned from her eventually harms her, the institute, and the country, don't blame her for being cruel.
She hadn't done anything cruel for many years, and now she almost forgot how she had done whatever it took to achieve her goal in order to survive.
The interstellar era is a world where crises and opportunities coexist. To be able to walk out of such a thorny place, she is destined not to be a soft-hearted person.
"Don't leave any trouble for yourself." Yan Guofeng felt a little relieved, but still reminded her.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, "I know, what we gave them were just superficial things."
A superficial thing, a group of people in the research institute can handle it alone, but he seems to have underestimated his granddaughter-in-law; the fact that she can say the word "fur" may mean that she is not even superficial.
Yan Rushan interjected, "Grandpa, Yuxiu has always been measured and has never made a mistake in all these years. The research institute is large, and the staff are numerous and diverse. They are at that age, and they don't have the unrealistic mentality of young people. If Yuxiu is willing to control them, it won't be difficult."
Yan Guofeng pondered, "That makes sense. They are at that age and have a clean background. If they devote themselves to serving the country, Yuxiu will be able to relax."
The last sentence is a reminder.
"Thank you for the tip, Grandpa."
"Stop being polite. Grandpa is waiting for your results." Yan Guofeng is looking forward to what the research institute will look like after she leaves office and what achievements it will make in the future.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Then Grandpa will wait and see."
The chatting group grew larger, and Yan Rushan would interject from time to time. The family of three had no restraint and talked casually; they said whatever came to their mind. After about ten minutes, Yan Rushan had to go to entertain the guests and could no longer chat, so only Yan Guofeng and Zhong Yuxiu were left in the main room.
During the meal, Yan Rushan was outside entertaining the guests, while Zhong Yuxiu, Yan Guofeng, Wang Daya, Gu Lingguo and others were eating in the main hall; the others were in the yard, but because there were too many people, they had to sit outside.
After dinner, Yan Rushan and Village Chief Wang settled the people. On the way back, Village Chief Wang said to Yan Rushan, "Comrade Yan, Foreman Xu said that they have about 20 people in total. The wall you want is very thick, and they don't have enough manpower. It would be best if we could recruit more people, so that the wall work can be completed as soon as possible."
He has more than one job to do, and he has to go somewhere else after finishing here.
When Village Chief Wang talked about this, his eyes were filled with envy. "You don't know that the people that Xu Gong led are all from the village, and they know each other well. They all come out together to make money, and every year they go back home to have a good New Year. It's much better than our Red Star Village. It's also my fault as the village chief. I didn't lead everyone to get rich. We are trapped in the village with limited income and living conditions. Even the children in the village can't keep up with the children of others."
"Village Chief Wang, you are too modest. The Red Star Village you manage has no thieves, let alone other things. Every household knows each other well, and the relationship between them is harmonious and united. This is your achievement." Yan Rushan spoke lightly, and it didn't sound like he was praising anyone, but his expression was serious and he couldn't be fake.
"I don't dare accept the title. It's because everyone knows that our village is small and easy to be bullied. If we don't unite, we will be bullied even more. It's not because I am a good village chief." Village Chief Wang still has some self-awareness. He shook his head and sighed, "The village education can't keep up. It's still too backward."
If you have extra money, who wouldn’t want to send all their children to school?
Yan Rushan couldn't help but ponder, but he was still trying to comfort people, "It will be fine, life is better now than before; life is made by people, and a village can't become prosperous by your own efforts."
Village Chief Wang agreed helplessly, "What you said is exactly what I think. The village is too poor."
"Take your time." Yan Rushan thought of the breeding farm and the hilltop behind him. "I'm planning to open a breeding farm in Zhongguancun. Once it's up and running, I can recruit people from Hongxing Village. I'll also open a breeding farm on the hilltop behind him. It will be more convenient to recruit people nearby."
It's also a favor to the village chief.
"Are you really planning to recruit people from the village?" Could the other two villages just sit there and watch? Besides, his farm was in Zhongguancun.
Yan Rushan nodded, "I need your help and advice. There was someone who was sneaky when building the wall. No matter what happens next, don't call him."
They have no business working on the farm, as it is a long-term feeding process; those who are cunning and dishonest are absolutely not allowed.
