1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 168 I Will Come Back Safely
Lu Youyou remained silent after hearing this, and Wang Jinglian was not surprised.

"When I first heard about it, I felt just like you, with a million words stuck in my throat." She suddenly lowered her voice, "Do you think the Wu family's ancestral tomb is in a bad location? Why is the whole family like this..."

Wang Jinglian coughed a few times and managed to suppress the word "trash".

She did look down on Wang Manzhi before, but as a woman, she could empathize with her because she lost her uterus at such a young age.

The key is that you can’t even touch the evil spirit. It makes me sick just thinking about it!

Lu Youyou didn't think so. Wang Manzhi used to be left-wing and didn't care about her own daughter. It was obvious that she had a cruel side. If the Wu family continued to bully her, something big might happen in the future.

The Wu family's shocking scandal was quite a turbulent situation for a while, and Wu Baozhu had not appeared in the family compound for at least one or two months.

After Lu Youyou completed two rounds of small-scale pilot projects, she finally received the news that the new version of the diving suit was officially put into service. The project that started on a flash of inspiration finally came to an end.

After being busy for several months in a row, I feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly have some free time.

She leaned back in the recliner, staring at the flower pots in the yard.

The seedlings are still the same, thin and short.

There were torrential rainstorms some time ago, and now it hasn't rained for a month. The soil was not fertile enough to begin with, and now it can't get enough water. Lu Youyou finds it incredible that it can still grow tenaciously under such conditions.

She is not interested in agronomy, but she can think of a solution for Tamsui.

She was still lying there motionless, her consciousness involuntarily drifting into the study, and the scientific research mode that had entered a dormant period was activated with one click.

When she came to her senses again, she had unknowingly read more than a dozen books related to seawater desalination.

Lu Youyou suddenly felt like laughing. The study room at home was as well-equipped as a library. Maybe it was prepared for today.

She used to just want to read novels when she had free time, but now she just lies down for a while and then goes back to studying.

It is said that it only takes twenty-one days to form a habit. She has been struggling for who knows how many days in a row. Perhaps this habit will take a lifetime to develop.

"Zhuifeng, come here, I'll take you for a walk."

Lu Youyou took Zhuifeng by the hand and walked towards the message room. She was going to ask about all the projects of Unit 507 that did not involve desalination of seawater.

When Deputy Director Luo received the call, he was surprised at first, but soon fell into ecstasy.

"Seven years ago, Yuhang established the country's first seawater desalination laboratory, but I haven't heard of any progress recently. Comrade Lu, what are your thoughts?"

It won’t be another big pie falling from the sky, right? Lu Youyou is more capable than even a formal researcher. Why wouldn’t such a talent be willing to come?

Deputy Director Luo couldn't help but start to reflect on what they did wrong.

Lu Youyou knew that desalination was a huge project and it was impossible for her to start a project just by saying something. Personnel, funds, and equipment, none of them were easy.

The diving suits are specially approved by the military region so that there is no shortage of resources. Not all projects have this honor.

"It's okay, Director. It's because of the abnormal climate. The island is short of fresh water. I just suddenly remembered and called to ask."

"How can it be alright? Since you asked, you must have an idea. Researchers can't ignore this. Many inventions rely on a flash of inspiration!"

How could Deputy Director Luo allow Lu Youyou to back down? Why not give it a try? Maybe there will be some results.

It is a unanimous consensus in the institute that Comrade Lu Youyou cannot be judged by common sense.

We can talk about the future later. Let’s listen to her ideas first. Just because there was no such thing before doesn’t mean there won’t be any in the future. Maybe their 507th Group can overtake others.

"Comrade Lu, why don't you come over and we can talk face to face? You don't know, our old director really wants to see you. He was in Beijing to participate in other projects before, and when he came back, he complained to me for a long time why I didn't keep you!"

The enthusiasm of the other party could not be suppressed even through the phone line. Lu Youyou couldn't get a word in at all. Deputy Director Luo repeated the same thing over and over again and finally gave up until she agreed.

Is it reasonable that a young lady who loves to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy a leisurely life becomes a liver emperor?

Lu Youyou couldn't understand why it had become like this without her realizing it.

"Zhuifeng, don't you think I'm too dedicated? Shouldn't I be given the Touching China Award?" "Woof!"

"You think so too, don't you?"

"Wang!"

"Then I'll give you a piece of wood and ask you to help me chew out a trophy."

"..."

Zhuifeng's steps were confused for a moment. How could there be such a subject? It had never learned it before!

Lu Youyou had plenty of time and was thinking about when to go to No. 507. When he walked out of the message room, he found a lot of people gathered at the gate, and in the middle of them was the familiar postman.

"War? Is that true?"

"Isn't it written here? Fighting broke out on the Annan border!"

"show me!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't rush, don't rush. You can't read, so I'll read it to you. Last month, the border between our country and Annan..."

All kinds of familiar yet unfamiliar words came into Lu Youyou's ears, and she was a little confused for a moment.

Gu Qingye had not been on a mission for a long time, and she almost forgot that this was a military camp, a front-line combat unit. War was not something so far away for them and for her.

The sudden outbreak of war made people in the family compound feel uneasy. Maybe now, maybe in the next second, someone's name will appear on the list of people going to the battlefield.

When Gu Qingye returned in the night and looked at her for a long time without saying a word, Lu Youyou knew that her premonition was true.

"when are you leaving?"

Gu Qingye's Adam's apple moved, and he lowered his eyes to look at her: "Tonight."

Lu Youyou suddenly looked up: "So fast?"

"Ah."

"you……"

Lu Youyou had a lot to say, but she had already said these words countless times when Gu Qingye was on a mission.

Be safe, be safe. There are thousands of words to say, but this is all I have to say: be safe.

Suddenly, Lu Youyou's eyes blurred, and Gu Qingye took a step forward, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.

She couldn't see his expression, she could only feel his warm palm clasping the back of her head, and the other hand holding her tightly around the waist.

His body was slightly bent, his chin resting on her neck, his breath brushing against her earlobe faintly.

"wait me back."

Of course she would wait for him to come back, how could she not wait for him to come back.

Lu Youyou was born in a peaceful era. At that time, war was just a news report to her. Today, when she has to face it all personally, she realizes how heavy this word is.

The moonlight was hazy, but now even the moonlight seemed dazzling to her.

His eyes felt too heavy to lift, and drops of water hung precariously on his eyelashes. He blinked several times, but they still fell onto his army green clothes, soaking them all.

A gentle force lifted her face, and Gu Qingye gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.

He slowly moved closer, pressing his lips to her forehead, trying to take away all the worries and concerns.

"I will definitely come back safely."
