If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it.
Yan Rushan pulled Zhong Yuxiu away, and Wan Yuning followed subconsciously. He didn't know why he did this; but he knew he couldn't give up this opportunity.
"Comrade, please stay." Haonan stopped the man. Tian Shangguo followed beside Zhong Yuxiu. The three heard the noise, but no one turned back.
Wan Yuning wanted to push Haonan away, but he was too weak to hold him down. He watched Zhong Yuxiu being escorted away without struggling any more.
Haonan let him go and saw that he looked dejected, so he looked down on him.
"Comrade Yan is right. It hasn't been easy for Comrade Zhong to get to where she is today. Please let her go."
"We just want to make it up to her!" Wan Yuning suddenly looked up. "Why are you trying to stop me? Yuxiu is kind-hearted. It's impossible for her to keep denying her father and me, her brother."
Haonan frowned, feeling sorry for Zhong Yuxiu. "So, you guys just took advantage of Comrade Zhong's weakness and did whatever you wanted?"
"No." They just wanted to recognize this sister.
"When Comrade Zhong needed you, you weren't there. Now that Comrade Zhong has gotten out of trouble and no longer needs you, you're the ones coming up to him and asking for compensation. Don't you think you're being really hypocritical?"
Not wanting to argue with this man anymore, Haonan turned around and trotted away.
Under the continuous blows, Wan Yuning's mind was in chaos and confusion; did his sister, who used to be kind-hearted, sensible and well-behaved, really become so cold and heartless now because of them?
After arriving home, Zhong Yuxiu sat down on the sofa and Yan Rushan brought hot water from the kitchen.
"Are you cold? Come and soak your hands."
"Okay." Yan Rushan placed the basin on the coffee table. Zhong Yuxiu put her hand in it, and a warm feeling instantly spread throughout her body. "It's so comfortable. The weather in Shangjing is too cold. It's not even winter yet."
Yan Rushan nodded and agreed, "Compared to Province C, Shangjing is very cold; the temperature now is equivalent to winter in Province C."
"The winter in Shangjing is even colder. It's just dry and cold now; when it snows in winter, it will be wet and cold. I haven't been back for two years, and I don't know if I can get used to the climate in Shangjing." The original owner lived in Shangjing for many years, and he wore thick and abundant clothes every winter, but still felt cold.
She doesn't know what to do yet.
"Don't worry, we have heating here. If you work at school, you can bring a brazier to the office and light it up when it gets cold." I think Professor Ding would agree.
This operation is a bit tricky and will probably cause dissatisfaction.
"Forget it. I don't go to work every day. Let's talk about it later." I will think of a solution when the time comes. If all else fails, I will make a rechargeable hot water bottle and carry it with me anytime and anywhere.
Yan Rushan took this to heart and didn't bring up the subject again. "Yuxiu, I've sent someone to look for pomelo peels for the remedy you gave me. I'm not sure if we can find any in this area. If not, we can only go to Province C, where there are more pomelo peels."
At this time of year, Province C is in the prime of producing grapefruits.
"If not, this is the only way." Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, and an idea flashed in her mind. "By the way, do you have any connections in Province C?"
Yan Rushan said: "Yes."
"Then you can contact them and ask them to collect some grapefruits and ship them over; grapefruits can be stored for a long time and don't have to worry about spoiling." The transportation is also convenient, just pack a big bag and send it on the train.
"Okay, I'll contact them when I get back."
Yan Rushan stayed at the Zhong family for a while and helped Zhong Yuxiu pour out the water in the basin before leaving.
As soon as he left, Haonan and Tian Shangguo said, "Comrade Zhong, we are a little hungry."
"Look, I forgot." Zhong Yuxiu smiled, "I'll go call Goudan down for a midnight snack."
They walked upstairs while talking. After a while, Goudan was brought down for a midnight snack. The three of them ate and drank their fill, washed up and went upstairs.
Zhong Yuxiu went upstairs and headed straight for the laboratory. "Goudan, how's the progress?"
"The progress is 10 percent, and the connecting wires haven't been installed yet." Goudan followed her.
He entered the lab, squatted in front of the circuit, checked every soldering point, and found no problems. Then he said, "Well done, keep going at this pace."
"Okay, master, it's time for you to rest." Goudan lowered his voice, afraid that Haonan and Tian Shangguo outside would hear it.
"Got it." He checked the other parts again and straightened up with satisfaction. "Then I'll go to sleep. You can continue."
Goudan replied, "For my master, I will work hard. Master, please rest assured and have a good rest. I will be very happy if I can. Good night, master."
Zhong Yuxiu: “….”
She didn't recognize this flattering robot.
However, everyone likes to hear nice words, so she accepted it anyway.
Back in bed and lying in the warm quilt, Zhong Yuxiu felt refreshed and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
In the laboratory, Goudan continued to work diligently; when the battery ran out, he would recharge it and continue working, as the line was long anyway.
The next morning, as soon as it was light, Zhong Yuxiu got up early and called Goudan to go downstairs to make breakfast.
In less than half an hour, Haonan and Tian Shangguo also came downstairs.
"Comrade Zhong, good morning."
"Good morning." Zhong Yuxiu came out of the bathroom after cleaning up. Facing the greetings from Haonan and Tian Shangguo, she said with a smile, "Goudan is almost done with breakfast. Go wash up."
Haonan and Tian Shangguo nodded in agreement. Zhong Yuxiu walked to the sofa and sat down. Then the two of them went in to wash their faces and brush their teeth. When they came out again, they were refreshed and energetic.
Goudan came over with breakfast. Zhong Yuxiu took a glance at him and turned back to say, "You guys are really quick. It's time for breakfast."
Haonan smiled and nodded, "Comrade Zhong, when did you get up? Even earlier than us."
"I haven't been up for long. I won't be going to school today. Please ask for leave for me. Then tell Professor Ding that the research has begun and he can come and work with us when he's free."
"Okay, I'll go to school after dinner." Haonan hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I run into the Wan family..."
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes were slightly cold. "Don't worry about it. I'll just send you away if you're bothering me."
You could call her cold-blooded or cold-hearted, she could abandon the original owner's family at any time, and she would not trust them.
"I understand." With her words, Haonan could figure out her bottom line.
The three of them went to the dining room and sat down at the table. There were steamed buns, steamed bread, and flower rolls on the table, as well as a small bowl of porridge and three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Goudan stood in front of the table. Zhong Yuxiu looked at him and said, "Goudan, you continue assembling. I'll go up after I finish eating. Speed up and we should be able to finish it today."
“Ding ding ding…”
Goudan turned and went upstairs, while Zhong Yuxiu continued to eat. She ate several buns, drank two bowls of porridge, wiped her mouth and stood up.
"Take your time to eat. I'm going to go get busy now. I'll trouble Comrade Haonan with the leave. I'll go over tonight to catch up with the students on their progress. I won't delay the class, so Professor Ding can rest assured."
"Yes, I will definitely pass on the message."
