The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 500 Warm welcome
When the person in charge saw Liu Hua's USB drive, he was delighted to realize that four months was not a problem at all. With Liu Hua's information, it would be a piece of cake to come up with a stable product and solution before the end of the year.

"He's an academician after all, he's really impressive." The person in charge exclaimed, "Many of the directions are ones we hadn't even considered, and they're very feasible. The boss's research focus isn't physics, so how come he even knows chemistry?"

After a while, he added in his own mind: "Otherwise, if someone is an academician, they must have knowledge and research in every subject. Otherwise, how could they become an academician?"

Therefore, relying on one's own imagination is the most fatal thing. Liu Hua was able to become an academician entirely because he had a good external advantage.

My son came back early this year, bringing his grandson with him. He and his wife were already pregnant before they got married.

Liu Hua originally planned to throw a big banquet for our wedding, but the young couple didn't want to. Instead, they took a month off and traveled for a month before getting married.

Then, both sets of parents invited their closest relatives and friends, and set up two tables, which was enough.

People in the alley thought Liu Hua's son would be having a big wedding banquet, but it turned out to be so simple.

People are already spreading rumors that the richer Liu Hua is, the stingier he becomes.

Liu Hua should find someone to have a face-to-face battle. If you're going to spread rumors, then so be it. Why did you quote Lu Xun? What, are you trying to show off your erudition?
Liu Hua's grandson, Liu Teng.

The name was chosen by the couple, and Liu Hua always mocked his son for giving such a worthless name.

“Then your name has some merit. My name is Liu Guodong, the same name as that of a table tennis player. If you had named yourself Liu Guoliang, I wouldn’t have complained. At least that’s more famous. Guodong has never even won a world championship.”

"Come on, if I named you Liu Guoliang, people would still think you play ping-pong."

Liu Feifei held her grandson tightly, doting on him endlessly. Now, he can't even hold his own mother. Liu Feifei also has two accomplices, one named Liu Qiaotong and the other named Guan Zhilin.

The child is still in swaddling clothes. One parent wants him to call her "aunt" and the other wants him to call her "grandma." He can't even pronounce the single syllable "mom," so how can he call her "aunt" or "grandma"?

Liu Hua couldn't get involved either. It's said that Liu Feifei has been secretly plotting something these past few days. According to Liu Qiaotong's tip, Liu Feifei is currently planning how to persuade her son and his wife to go to the Qiongya base after the New Year, leaving the child in Beijing.

"You want to leave the child in the capital?"

That same evening, after receiving the tip, Liu Hua had a long talk with his wife.

"Ah."

"Stop talking nonsense, how can a child be separated from its mother?"

"With such busy work schedules, how can they have time to take care of their children?"

Liu Hua waved his hand: "That's their business. They can hire a nanny, but they absolutely cannot leave the child with us. If a child doesn't grow up with his mother, he will have a congenital emotional deficiency, which will not be good for his future development."

"Back then, didn't the eldest brother's children grow up with our mother?"

“There was no way to teach children back then. Can we teach them the same way now as we did back then?” Liu Hua countered. “If you really can’t bear to part with your children, you can fly to Hainan to take care of them. I strongly oppose you leaving your children in Beijing and separating them from their parents.”

“That would be fine, but I can’t bear to leave Qiaotong.” “Or you could just go through the trouble and fly over to see the child whenever you miss her.” Liu Hua said with a smile, “If you find it inconvenient, I’ll buy you a plane. You can fly whenever you want, whether it’s in the morning or in the evening.”

"You're so smug just because you have a little money." Liu Feifei laughed and scolded, "How can a plane fly around without paying for fuel? Even if you don't care about the money, don't you care about me? This is like flying all day long. Do you want to work me to death?"

"You're sitting inside the plane, you're not flying, you can sleep if you want, do whatever you want, why are you tired?"

"It's not in my conscience to say that. Every time I fly to Qiongya and back, I'm exhausted."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Didn't you say the same thing when you used to order our son around? What's there to be tired about? He just goes to school every day. What's there to be tired about? He doesn't have to carry anything or lift anything."

Liu Feifei blushed, a rare occurrence. This is probably a phrase that many older parents like to say. The older generation believes that only those who do physical labor have the right to complain about being tired, while those who sit in offices enjoy themselves every day.

After the New Year, her son left with his grandson, and Liu Feifei went with him. Liu Qiaotong was already a teenager, so she didn't need to worry too much for the time being. Therefore, she went with her to take care of her grandson for two days.

Besides, the family's nanny could take good care of Liu Hua and his son, so Liu Feifei went along without worry.

There are now three people left in the family: Liu Hua, Liu Qiaotong, and Guan Zhilin. Guan Zhilin accepted her sister's mission.

Liu Feifei was still somewhat worried about her daughter, fearing that Liu Hua, being a rough and unrefined man, wouldn't be able to take good care of her. So she entrusted her daughter to Guan Zhilin, since the two of them usually got along like sisters.

Fortunately, Rosamund Kwan hasn't been too busy lately, as she has already moved the headquarters of Zhiling Cosmetics to Beijing.

Hong Kong cinema was in decline at the time, so she didn't have much filming work and simply stayed in Beijing with her niece.

With no worries about the future, Liu Hua devoted all his energy to research and development. He first went to Longxi to inspect the miniaturization of the thorium-based molten salt reactor.

The work didn't go very smoothly. There are only a few countries that can build nuclear reactors, and miniaturizing nuclear reactors is even more difficult. After all, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can build nuclear-powered warships; they are basically the five great philanthropists.

Moreover, all nuclear reactors in the world are pressurized water reactors, including our nuclear-powered Blackfish. However, pressurized water reactors are not as safe as molten salt reactors. If Liu Hua can develop one, the whole world will probably want it.

Liu Hua redeemed some data from the cheat program and handed it over to the people at the research institute. As expected, anything produced by the system was of high quality, which greatly inspired the researchers, and their work quickly got on track.

Just as Liu Hua was about to leave, the deputy general manager of CNNC brought him two top-notch figures.

One is Academician Ouyang, and the other is Academician Wang.

Academician Ouyang presided over the construction of the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant in our country. As for Academician Wang, he had met Liu Hua a few times. They were both professors at Tsinghua University.

Academician Wang designed a 5-megawatt cryogenic reactor and a 10-megawatt high-temperature gas-cooled reactor in the 1980s.

Liu Hua said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome."
