Chapter 478 The Old Man Speaks Straight



Yan Rushan's face was calm, not feeling embarrassed. "You are an unmarried person, what do you know?"

Yan·BeiHeartbroken·RuHai:.......I was hurt.

"Brother, I'm sad."

"Why are you pretending?" Yan Rushan sneered without blinking, "Now that the things are in your hands, you can go back now. Tomorrow, I will go out to play with your sister-in-law, grandfather and others. You can stay at the institute and work hard on your own."

Thousands of needles piercing the heart are nothing but this.

Deeply hurt, Yan Ruhai covered his chest and tried to pretend to be heartbroken, but he just didn't feel any pain; he couldn't pretend anymore, because he was thick-skinned and didn't care anymore.

"Brother, have you and sister-in-law decided on the itinerary for your trip?"

Yan Rushan looked at him intently, then withdrew his gaze and said, "We haven't decided on a route yet. We plan to take a train from Shangjing all the way south, and then return via Xinjiang."

"That's too long a journey. Half of that time will be spent on the train." Yan Ruhai frowned. "Can Grandpa bear such a long time? Grandpa is old, and the journey is too long."

"Grandpa is in good health. With your sister-in-law here, you don't have to worry."

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, the noodles are ready." Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi came out of the kitchen, with Wang Daya holding a large bowl of mixed noodles in her hands.

Yan Ruhai looked back and smiled, "Give it to me, you guys go back to sleep, I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams."

"No, it's nothing. The children just went to bed, and we haven't slept yet." Wang Daya smiled and served the noodles. There was a pair of bamboo chopsticks on the edge of the bowl. Under Yan Rushan's gaze, Wang Daya smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, Mr. Yan, little Mr. Yan, you two can chat. We will go back to our room and sleep. After eating the noodles, just put the dishes in the kitchen. We will wash them tomorrow."

"I'll eat and wash, you don't need to." With a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, Yan Ruhai started to eat.

Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi smiled at Yan Rushan and returned to the room together.

Looking at Yan Ruhai slurping his food, Yan Rushan said calmly, "Are you planning to go back, or go home to sleep?"

"...Cough." Yan Ruhai inhaled a mouthful of chili pepper, choking him and making him feel unwell. "Big brother, can't you let me finish eating before asking?"

Yan Rushan glanced at him coldly and said nothing more.

Yan Ruhai ran to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of warm water and drank it. It took him two minutes to suppress his cough. He returned to the hall, sat down in his original seat, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and finished his dinner in a few seconds.

"Brother, what did you say before?" Yan Ruhai asked after wiping his mouth and putting down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Are you going back to bed, or are you going back to the institute?"

Yan Ruhai felt a little aggrieved, "Can't I just not go back? I can go sleep with grandpa."

"Grandpa is already asleep."

The implicit meaning is, don't disturb the old man.

Yan Ruhai asked aggrievedly, "Has the family considered this?"

"My parents came back a few days ago and cleaned the room. It should be safe for people to sleep in now. If you think it's dirty, clean it yourself." He won't go. He wants to sleep with his wife.

"Okay then, I'll go home and sleep. Brother, lend me an umbrella. I'll come back tomorrow to return it to you. It's raining so hard outside that I don't feel like taking a shower."

Yan Rushan nodded and pointed to the shoe cabinet at the door. "There's an umbrella in there. Take one."

"Okay, thank you, brother. You go upstairs and sleep first. I'll go wash the dishes and close the door when I leave."

"Um."

Yan Rushan got up and went upstairs, and Yan Ruhai took the dishes to wash; a set of dishes was easy to wash and could be cleaned in just a few strokes, but he did not put the dishes in the cupboard, but put them on the stove.

The Zhong family’s dishes are not finished after washing, they also have to boil them in water. They are really meticulous about hygiene.

After cleaning the water droplets on the stove, Yan Ruhai took an umbrella and left the Zhong family, closing the door behind him. He went home in the rain with the umbrella. When he reached the door, he took out the key to open it and went in. A smell of dust hit him in the face.

Although it was cleaned a few days ago, it couldn't stand being unoccupied for several days and was prone to dust. The Yan family's room had been uninhabited for a long time, so it lacked popularity, was deserted, and had a musty smell.

Yan Ruhai sighed softly, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and returned to his room. The sheets and quilt covers had been changed the day Yan's parents returned, but since no one had used them in days, they were naturally covered in dust. He had no choice but to remove the quilt covers and replace them with a new one.

After doing all this, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and take a shower. How could I not wash my face which was covered with dust?

Yan Ruhai felt refreshed all over and lay on the bed, feeling relaxed and at ease. However, he could not fall asleep as he felt a cold and lonely atmosphere all over his body. He turned over weakly, thinking that his sister-in-law's house was still the best and more lively.

Listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, he only slept for four hours in the second half of the night; the next morning after six o'clock, Yan Ruhai was forced to wake up. He was in a depressed mood and simply washed up and went to the Zhong family.

The Zhong family was quiet at this moment. Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu had not gotten up yet, and the three children were still asleep. Only Wang Daya, Gong Zhaodi, and Feng were busy in the kitchen. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong had to go out today, so they did not exercise and were reading the newspaper with the old man in the hall.

"Grandpa, I'm here."

The newspaper was slowly lowered, and the old man raised his eyelids to look at him, "Why are you here so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I can't sleep. You all are going out to play, leaving me alone in Shangjing. How can I sleep?" Yan Ruhai felt resentful.

"The nature of your job means you can't do whatever you want. Just do your job well." The old man's bland words of comfort not only failed to comfort Yan Ruhai, but also made Yan Ruhai's resentment even worse. "Grandpa, how can I be like my sister-in-law and do whatever I want?"

There was a touch of envy in these words. The nature of Zhong Yuxiu's work was truly enviable; she controlled the overall direction herself, never taking orders from anyone, and had an astonishing number of independently developed patents. Although she had a personal protector, she enjoyed a great deal of freedom. Unlike him, it was difficult to even think of setting up a research institute.

Yan Guofeng put down the newspaper, but Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong lifted the newspaper up instead.

Yan Guofeng saw it and smiled helplessly, not knowing whether he was talking to Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong, or to his little grandson.

"You're still far behind your sister-in-law."

"I guess I will never be able to compare with my sister-in-law in my lifetime." So, he should just work honestly and not offend others.

"Having self-awareness means you can still be saved."

Dear grandpa, I finally understand why his brother has such a temper, it’s genetic!

Yan Ruhai had been hurt so many times, but he had a strong resistance. He wasn't discouraged at all, but instead was full of energy. "Grandpa, I will work hard and strive to lead projects independently as soon as possible. Then I can relax a lot."

"What good things are you thinking about? If you have such an idea, I suggest you don't lead the team; as long as you don't have this idea, don't lead the team to avoid causing trouble to others." Yan Guofeng's words were very straightforward, and he was really afraid that his grandson would go astray.

There's no such thing as leading a project being easy. In fact, leading a project requires more vigilance and more hard work. Without this spirit of dedication and carefulness, let alone leading a project, you will be destined to work in someone else's team all your life.

In scientific research, a slight change may cause the final result to go against the expectations.
