"Lin Li, if this project succeeds, it could save so many lives. Just consider it a favor to us, and it's also a contribution to the country. With you here, this new drug can both retain the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and meet market demands. Your medical skills are the key to the success of this project."
"Professor Zhang, Dr. Yu," she said, stuffing the project proposal into her bag, the strap of the canvas bag digging into her palm.
"I'll take care of the equipment, herbs, and formula. You just need to focus on the extraction technology. Just tell me how much money and time you need. I will make sure this new drug is both effective and practical, so that more people can benefit from it."
Dr. Yu's glasses slipped down to the tip of his nose again. He looked at Lin Li's ears, which were red from the cold, and sighed.
"With your words, we are completely relieved."
The water in the iron kettle finally boiled, and steam filled the entire room, mingling with the aroma of herbs wafting from the clay pot.
Lin Li took the teacup handed to her by Doctor Yu, which contained dried sea buckthorn and honeysuckle.
The tea slowly unfurled in the cup, much like her mood at that moment.
It turns out that even at forty-eight, life can have a new beginning. You can use all the knowledge you've gained to do something meaningful, just like the snow outside the window—it falls pure white and melts into spring.
then.
In the days that followed.
Lin Li began her busy research work, occasionally handling business matters.
Lin Laosan devoted himself entirely to improving the power generation line.
As a result, the two little ones spent all day playing with Weiwei and his friends, and only when school was about to start did they realize that they hadn't done a single word of their homework.
Instantly.
The two little ones felt like the sky had fallen.
Lin Li, holding a feather duster, chased them into the yard and started hitting them.
final.
The two little ones 'submitted' to the feather duster and obediently stayed at home to finish their homework for the three days leading up to their return to the port city.
At that time, their friend Weiwei also received the same treatment.
Finally, just as they finished writing the last word of their summer homework, it was exactly the moment before they were about to leave Beijing for the port city.
The three friends hugged each other and cried, promising to meet again this summer.
Lin Li and Lin Laosan each carried a little one as they got into a taxi heading to the airport.
...
...
This time, Lin Laosan and his two children were no longer as excited as before when they returned to Hong Kong.
He seemed listless the whole time.
"Grandma, I still prefer Beijing."
When the plane landed, Lin Hu turned his gaze away from the window, his expression solemn and serious.
"Grandma, I like Beijing too."
"Mom, I plan to return to Beijing after I finish my studies at HKU this year."
The three of them stared at Lin Li, their eyes filled with longing.
Looking at the three of them smiling, Lin Li finally showed a relieved smile.
"We will definitely return to Beijing, but now is not the time for you to go back."
Lin Li patted the two little furry heads and continued speaking.
"After you complete your studies, you should go back and contribute to the country. Your main task now is to learn advanced knowledge..."
After hearing Lin Li's words, Lin Laosan and the two little ones finally understood the real reason why Lin Li brought them to Gangcheng to study.
It is so that after learning advanced knowledge, we can go back and build the country.
"Nanny/Mama, we understand!"
The three of them looked at Lin Li with bright eyes and nodded vigorously.
...
...
After getting off the plane, they saw Ah Cheng already waiting for them in the waiting hall in his car as soon as they exited the airport.
The group of people smiled and put the local products they had brought back for everyone into the car.
Afterwards, Acheng led them towards the villa.
When they returned to their villa halfway up the hill, dusk had already fallen over Victoria Harbour, and the neon lights on the opposite shore were already on, dazzling and bright.
The wrought iron gate slid open slowly, and as soon as the black van came to a stop in the courtyard, Uncle Fu and his servants were already waiting under the eaves.
"Madam, Third Young Master, and Young Masters, you must be tired from your journey."
He took the rattan suitcase from Lin Li's hand, and when his gaze swept over Lin Laosan and the two hours, a kind smile appeared in his eyes.
"Hot water is ready, and dinner is being kept warm in the steamer. It will be ready to eat after you take a shower."
Lin Hu and Lin Yao were so enticed by the fruity aroma wafting from outside the car that they quickly ran to the living room.
Lin Laosan laughed and chased after him, saying, "Slow down, be careful not to bump into the ornaments."
Lin Li stood under the corridor and took a deep breath; the damp air was mixed with the sweet scent of tuberose.
This is a flavor unique to the port city.
When Lin Li walked into the living room, she saw that the two little ones had already finished washing up and were eating apples.
Sweet juice dripped from the corners of their mouths and onto their clothes.
"Milk, the apple is so sweet!"
Lin Hu picked up a large, bright red apple and handed it to Lin Li.
"You guys eat!"
Lin Li smiled, turned around and walked towards the bedroom upstairs.
All she wants to do right now is take a shower.
Back in the bedroom, I took a clean change of clothes from the closet and went into the bathroom.
The copper bathtub in the bathroom was filled with hot water and sprinkled with lemongrass petals brought from Southeast Asia.
Lin Li took off her clothes and immersed herself in warm water.
Listening to the sounds of his two grandsons playing and fighting over toys in the next room, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Close your eyes and enjoy the hot water washing away your fatigue.
After she finished her comfortable shower and changed into a set of comfortable loungewear, she went downstairs.
On the table were stewed fish maw, poached chicken, and two vegetable dishes, all of which were Lin Li's preferred light flavors.
After sitting down at the table, Lin Laosan and the two little ones also went downstairs.
