Yan Guofeng was still reluctant, "Let them sit on the bench and play. It's not summer now, and children are fragile."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled helplessly and said to the old man.
"That's fine, but don't spoil them too much."
"I know, I know. You should hurry to work. It's almost nine o'clock now, right?"
After being reminded by the old man, Zhong Yuxiu looked at the time and saw that it was indeed past nine o'clock; it was already very late, and she was definitely a latecomer.
"Grandpa, I'll go to the lab first. I'm sorry to trouble you to stay in the office with the children." It's really unfair that you can't move around here freely.
Yan Guofeng didn't care. "Just work hard. I'll look after the kids. You can take Goudan with you. I'll be able to look after this alone. Your work is more important. The new project will take more time. It should go more smoothly with Goudan helping you."
It had to be said that Yan Guofeng had great trust in Goudan; after all, it was his granddaughter-in-law who had developed it, and it was her own creation. She had also said that Goudan was an all-powerful robot, and that being able to serve as her assistant must be quite impressive. At least, as far as he could tell, no one at the research institute had the potential to become her assistant.
It's not because they are not strong enough, but because Sun's wife is too strong; their thinking can't keep up, and they are not at the same level at all. If they come up with irrelevant things during the discussion, it would be really funny.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Grandpa. Comrade Gu and Comrade Fang can also help out here, okay?"
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong nodded, "No problem. We can't go to the lab with you, but we can still help out here."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Zhong Yuxiu took the data, put the things in the office in order, said goodbye to her sons, then led Goudan and turned to walk towards the door.
"Mother."
She paused and wanted to continue walking, but she heard someone calling for her mother from behind. Her heart softened and she had to turn around to look at them.
As soon as you turn around, they smile at you. Zhong Yuxiu feels helpless and amused.
"Little rascals, do you want to go with your mother?"
"Yes." Li Ji groaned and reached out to her.
Li Mingli was not to be outdone and also extended his hand.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at the old man helplessly, "Grandpa, how about you take the children to the lab? There's a vacant lab over there; it's a little quiet though. Let the children play over there. If they start crying, I can rush over right away."
The office building was too far from the laboratory, so even if they cried, she wouldn't be the first to know.
"Can we enter the experimental area?" Yan Guofeng was uncertain.
"I can, but I have to do it even if I can't. I really can't abandon the children. Don't worry, no one in the institute will gossip about it. If anyone does, I will quit my job here." She doesn't rely on this little money to support herself. She had no choice but to agree to the position of director of the institute.
If there was a reason to give her more freedom and more free time, she would be more than happy to do so.
"Nonsense!" Yan Guofeng's face turned cold. "How can you say such things casually? You are doing well now, there are some things that cannot be said casually."
Being caught by someone is no joke.
Although Zhong Yuxiu didn't take it seriously, the old man was indeed worried about her. "Grandpa, I know, I won't tell anyone about it. This is all ours, and Comrade Gu and Comrade Fang won't tell anyone."
"When you are in society, there are some things that you cannot tell even your family members." Learn to keep your mouth shut.
"Okay, Grandpa, I remember it. Then, will you take the children to the experimental building?" Zhong Yuxiu nodded seriously and agreed solemnly before asking.
Yan Guofeng thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine. I'm just worried that if they cry and make a fuss in the lab, it will disturb others."
The entire lab building wasn't just used by Zhong Yuxiu; there were other people there too. The children's trio performance would undoubtedly disturb them, and that presented a problem. The lab building was a place for experiments, requiring quiet and serene conditions, so bringing children there seemed inappropriate.
"Grandpa, it's okay. If they cry, come to me. They are still too young and don't understand what work is. They just know that I leave them and they will panic and be scared when they are not with them." The only way to solve this problem is to keep them by my side.
When they grow up a little and understand what work is, they will realize that mom going out to work does not mean she is leaving them or doesn't want them. By then, things will be better and better.
"Then go ahead."
After the agreement was made, Fang Guozhong picked up the thin blanket on the ground, Gu Lingguo took a child; Goudan took one, and Yan Guofeng was determined to take the child. In the end, Zhong Yuxiu felt relieved.
She led the group into the laboratory building, documents in hand, and went straight to the top floor. She opened her own lab, then the adjacent lab, which was usually unused and mostly used to store materials and equipment that she couldn't fit in.
Researchers will not go up to the rooftop unless necessary; the laboratory up there is equivalent to her independent space.
"Goudan, the inside needs to be cleaned up. You go ahead and clean it. I'll go to the lab first. Remember to clean up when you're cleaning. After the smell is gone, close the doors and windows." After giving the instructions, Zhong Yuxiu stopped looking at Goudan.
Goudan handed the child to Fang Guozhong.
Fang Guozhong placed the thin blanket on the balcony and took the child. The weight weighed heavily on his hands. However, Fang Guozhong just felt good about it. This was Comrade Zhong's child, and he would definitely be a genius with a high IQ in the future. Don't ask him why he felt this way, just look at Comrade Zhong and you will know.
He may not be very good-looking, but he has extraordinary abilities!
"Comrade Zhong, don't worry, we will help take care of him and won't let the old man get tired."
"Okay, thank you for your help then." Zhong Yuxiu thanked him sincerely, then kissed her three sons before saying to the old man, "Grandpa, if you're tired, put the children down on the floor. Goudan has cleaned the corridor on this floor, so it's not very dirty."
Yan Guofeng shook his head. "That won't work. It's not like home outside. We still have to be careful. The children are too young and have weak resistance. They can't hit people like us."
"Well...thank you for your hard work. This lab is small and the space is limited. Goudan will finish cleaning it in a short time."
"Just go about your business and don't worry about us."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded helplessly, "Then I'll get busy first. Thank you and the two comrades for your hard work."
"I'm taking care of my great-grandson, what's so hard about that? Just go to work and don't worry about us."
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at her sons and finally turned and went into the laboratory; the children saw the closed door, pointed in that direction, and called for their mother anxiously, and stretched out their hands in that direction, signaling the person holding him to follow.
"I want my mother."
"Mother!"
"Mother......."
The little ones didn't see their mother coming out again, and they cried anxiously. In just a few moments, they made the old man and Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong sweat on their backs. What a capable person!
