"Okay, can I talk to Comrade Yan now?"
Zhong Yuxiu glanced outside the door and said, "Let's have dinner together later and discuss it slowly after dinner."
"Well, excuse me for bothering you." Xi Nian nodded with a smile. He had not planned to have dinner here, but he suddenly changed his mind. "Then my two comrades and I will bother you."
He looked meaningfully at the two guards standing outside the door.
"That's too much."
After the decision was made, they started talking about other things. Among them, Xi Nian was most curious about the latest research done by the Medical Research Institute.
Zhong Yuxiu pursed her red lips. "All the colleagues in the institute are working very hard. They are currently developing effective medicines and vaccines for tuberculosis, urticaria, and other diseases. I think the results will be available in the near future."
"These two diseases are indeed quite common in our country, and many people suffer from them. If such a good medicine is really born, it will be a blessing for them," said Xi Nian.
Yuxiu agreed with this. Cancer can be treated with repair fluid, which shows the importance of good medicine.
Nowadays, medicine is not developed enough, and many people die because they cannot afford medical treatment due to poverty. If every serious disease has a corresponding specific medicine, a lot of unnecessary death rates can be reduced.
"Now that the results of the induction door are out, do you plan to take a break for a while or continue to work on the next project?" Xi Nian chatted casually, just like a friend, talking about whatever came to mind.
“My next project is in the medical field. I plan to study something related to liver disease.”
Xi Nian was puzzled, but also felt it was natural. Her job was not only to do biochemical research; she was also the director of the Medical Research Institute, and pharmaceutical research was also her responsibility.
"How did you come up with the idea of doing research in this area?"
Zhong Yuxiu said: "I think it can be studied." Whether now or in the next few decades, liver disease is a big problem, and it is no joke once you get it.
"So, do you have a general direction for your research?"
"Not yet." Indeed, there are many kinds of viruses in the interstellar age. Because of the existence of repair fluids and various special medicines, pesticides and treatment chambers, those viruses seem insignificant. Even if new viruses are generated, killing drugs will be quickly cracked.
Human potential is endless, and the interstellar world has been reaching its peak step by step and thriving forever.
After so many lifetimes, she sometimes wondered about the countless years of human experience, generation after generation, all in a desperate attempt to find a suitable environment for survival, from ancient wars to modern wars to the peace of today. It felt as if some mysterious hand was pushing and guiding them, but she knew it wasn't true; humanity was searching for a healthy, peaceful environment, independent of others.
She doesn't know how it is abroad, but it is indeed like this in China.
Now, they have found such an environment, and the law provides everyone with peaceful and equal living conditions; the rest depends on their own creation.
"Then you..." He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and changed his words to ask, "In that case, why don't you do some preliminary research first?"
Zhong Yuxiu said, "I will do it. It's just a matter of time. I'll do it one by one. There's no rush."
You are not anxious, but we are.
It was hard to say this out loud, so Xi Nian spoke slowly, "You're very tired, so you should rest properly. Although we really want to see various research results that benefit the country, health is the capital of revolution."
They just hope that everyone can take care of their bodies and develop long-term.
"I get tired, and when I'm tired, I take a break. It's just right. I've been through a lot recently, so I'll wait for effective drugs and vaccines for liver disease to come out before I take a few more months off."
Xi Nian: A few months, are we going on strike?
Is this considered shooting oneself in the foot?
If the higher-ups knew he had done things this way, they would be laughing to death.
"Comrade Zhong, isn't a few months too long?"
"Not long. I can complete a research project in a year. What's wrong with taking a few months off?" The key point is that she is really tired. She has children, family, work, and career to take care of. What's wrong with wanting to relax and have fun for a few months?
Xi Nian was speechless. He understood that many researchers couldn't take care of their families. Zhong Yuxiu had married into a distinguished family; she couldn't possibly abandon them all. The key was that they only had three children! How could she abandon them?
Comrade Zhong is able to balance his career with his family and children, and manage his family so well; this shows his ability and dedication, so it doesn't seem so difficult to understand why he wants to take a few months off.
"You, you are right." Xi Nian's lips were trembling, and he suddenly felt a little guilty towards those scientific researchers who neglected their families and children.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled when she saw this. "Don't be afraid. Just prove the facts! We should convince people with reason, right?"
"Yes." This matter was not something he could decide, so why should he feel guilty?
"We do research, spending days at the base or in the lab. We have very little knowledge of the outside world. Many people have become disconnected from society. Their only hobby is research. They're unskilled in social interaction, unable to take care of their families, and completely inexperienced in life. So, I think a balance of work and rest like I do is absolutely correct. Don't you agree?"
"At least I won't be a novice in life, I won't be insensitive to others, and I won't neglect my family. I can dedicate my life to my motherland, but I want to give my family, my husband, my relatives, my children, and my friends a chance to interact with me while dedicating my life to my motherland."
Instead of isolating herself and waiting for her family to pay for her, she can have a very good life just by doing research every day.
At least, she doesn't want to!
In Interstellar, the health of scientific researchers is taken very seriously, and their lives are equally important; life includes daily food and drink, family and relatives, and children, because only a good environment and a good life can allow a worker to devote himself wholeheartedly.
Sorry, she continued this habit.
"Comrade Xi, you may think that I am not very concerned about scientific research, that I am dispensable, or even irresponsible; but I want to say that I am very serious about my work. When I want to rest, I hope to devote all my time to my family."
Xi Nian saw the sincerity in her eyes and felt heavy in his heart; he understood that there was nothing wrong with Zhong Yuxiu's thinking, and she had done it.
However, not everyone has the ability to take care of the family after work like her, to take care of her circle of friends, and to make her relatives feel both distressed and relieved about her. This is an ability that others cannot learn.
"No, it's good that you're doing this. You haven't delayed your work. The speculations you mentioned don't exist. Your ability is obvious to all." Capable people are those who have ideas and opinions, and those who assist them just need to respect them.
