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

Chapter 264 As long as you like it

Lu Youyou learned about the younger generation of the Du family three days later.

Don't ask why it's three days later. She was forced to "focus" every night, and Gu Qingye didn't let any irrelevant people interfere with their brief separation that made their marriage even better.

Du Yuelan transferred to another school, and Sun Jinhai's past was brought up again.

He had gotten someone pregnant in a previous relationship, and his family covered the medical expenses and even helped the woman find a job to cover it up. For some reason, this old story was brought up again, and someone reported it directly to Sun Jinhai's workplace.

After graduation, he got a decent job through his family's connections, but after this incident, he was relegated from a popular position to a dead-end job.

The key issue isn't the job transfer. He used to make a lot of money by dealing in approvals and permits, but now that he's lost his job convenience, his way of making money is completely blocked.

However, these two were just peripheral figures; the one who suffered the most was Gu Yuanzheng.

After the divorce, Gu Bohuai brought Gu Qingye with him in public, and everyone then knew about their relationship.

Back then, Gu Bohuai and Song Jinshu were a legally married couple who had obtained a marriage certificate. According to the old society, Gu Qingye was the legitimate eldest son.

Some people inevitably speculated that Du Shuang's defeat was related to this newly adopted son, but as the saying goes, Gu Qingye is upright and honest.

His military achievements are genuine and verifiable; every step he has taken since enlisting has stood the test of time. The vast majority of people who know that Gu Bohuai has such a good son are envious.

Some people used to feel sorry that the Gu family was a good father but a bad son, but now that Gu Qingye has come along, the son has surpassed the father.

Gu Bohuai wasn't ignoring Gu Yuanzheng, but without Du Shuang at home, Gu Yuanzheng was like a mouse before a cat whenever he saw his father, and didn't want to stay at home for even a day.

Moreover, the news has spread throughout the circle, and everyone knows that he has a superior "elder brother" who excels in every way. Even if they don't say it to his face, there are many who ridicule him behind his back.

Gu Yuanzheng had never been subjected to such humiliation. He already disliked going to work, and now he was even less inclined to go. He had even lost interest in hanging out with his cronies, as he always felt that people were talking behind his back.

79 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The circle drawn in the south was a grand affair. Gu Yuanzheng was filled with disgust for the atmosphere around him, so he went to the south with some people to relax.

He had long envied Sun Jinhai for making money, and once he arrived in the south, he felt that countless riches were beckoning to him.

After her divorce, Du Shuang fell seriously ill and had no time to care for him. Gu Yuanzheng returned and secretly took a leave of absence without pay, using the savings account left by Gu Bohuai to prepare for "starting a business".

Gu Qingye served in the army in the south for nearly ten years. Later, he was transferred to the army in the south, where he had many old friends. If Gu Yuanzheng had stayed in the capital, he could have benefited from the legacy of Gu Bohuai. Unfortunately, he did not want to.

It's obvious what will happen to a good-for-nothing fool who takes a lot of money to a city he doesn't know.

Although the outcome won't be clear for a while, it's obvious that Gu Qingye won't let him off easily.

Of course, these are things to follow.

On the other hand, Lu Youyou, free from various overt and covert obstacles, is making rapid progress on all her projects. The second phase report for seawater desalination has been submitted, and the joint project team is about to produce new research results.

It was only then that she learned that Zhang Qun, an agricultural student who later joined the project team, was the husband of her roommate Shen Fang.

Lu Youyou once ran into Shen Fang when she returned to Tsinghua University, and Shen Fang specifically thanked her.

"Thank you for taking care of my husband, Lao Zhang. He has said many times that he has learned more in the group than in the classroom. If he weren't a little embarrassed, he would have called you 'teacher'."

Lu Youyou was amused by her words. Although Zhang Qun came from a rural background, she was unexpectedly talented in agricultural research. The group she led was far ahead of the competition, and the fact that she was able to join as a student speaks volumes about her abilities.

Lu Youyou suddenly thought of something, but after glancing at Shen Fang, she didn't say anything more.

She definitely won't become a civil servant in the future, and she's not too interested in research institutions either. Now that she's not bound by the shackles of life and death, she doesn't want to be restricted any further.

Once the policies become more relaxed, she will most likely choose to start her own business.

She knows which teachers and students she has met over the years are truly talented, and if possible, she should try to recruit them into her ranks in the future.

But in this day and age, asking someone to give up a secure job and work for someone else is absolutely heretical, and to even talk about it now would be nothing more than empty talk.

Let's talk about it later, there's plenty of time, she's not in a hurry at all.

Shen Fang was probably the only one in the dormitory who knew what "big things" Lu Youyou was doing. She knew that her rarely seen roommate had long since embarked on a different path and was no longer from the same world as them, the ordinary students.

She had heard Zhang Qun say that Lu Youyou had complete control over their group. Although he was recommended by a mentor to join the group, it was still Lu Youyou's decision whether or not to accept him.

Lu Youyou not only agreed, but also valued him highly. Although her "boss" was young, Zhang Qun admired her from the bottom of his heart.

For the sake of her lover and for her own sake, maintaining a good relationship with Lu Youyou is entirely beneficial.

"No matter what, I want to thank you for taking care of Zhang Qun. These are dried bamboo shoots and longan sent by my mother-in-law. They are nothing valuable, just a small token of our appreciation."

Lu Youyou didn't expect that the big bag of things Shen Fang was carrying was for her. She had no choice but to accept it. Although Shen Fang was short and thin, she was much stronger than her.

After some initial refusal, the items ended up in Lu Youyou's arms. Shen Fang was worried that she wouldn't be able to carry them by herself, so she insisted on helping to put them in the car.

Lu Youyou was picked up after getting off the car, but she couldn't carry the nearly 20 kilograms of local specialties in five minutes.

That evening, she made a pot of pork rib soup with dried bamboo shoots. And let me tell you, these homemade dried bamboo shoots are definitely better than the ones you buy in stores.

After the meal, she grabbed a handful of longans and peeled them for fun, eating one herself and feeding one to Gu Qingye.

Gu Qingye doesn't like to eat these things, but he enjoys being fed by Lu Youyou.

Lu Youyou lay back on his lap, thinking of Shen Fang and his wife who had given her the gift, and casually asked, "What do you think about me doing my own research in the future?"

Gu Qingye didn't quite understand what "doing research on his own" meant, but he quickly grasped what Lu Youyou meant.

It has only been open for a short time now, and the current policy only extends to allowing individual businesses to operate; the concept of private enterprises is not even mentioned yet.

Given the current national situation, it is not possible to conduct research on one's own, but since Lu Youyou said so, she naturally thought of establishing a private research institution.

Gu Qingye was never a dogmatic person. Just because something didn't work now didn't mean it wouldn't work in the future. He supported whatever Lu Youyou wanted to do.

"As long as you like it."

Whatever she wants to do, all he has to do is be her strong support, provide financial and logistical support, comfort her when she's tired, and cheer for her when she succeeds.

People like to hear nice things, and Gu Qingye was acting as if he was completely at your mercy, from the inside out, from body to mind, from property to resources. Even Lu Youyou, who was known for her high offense and defense, couldn't help but smile.
