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

Chapter 268 Old acquaintance

The first thing Little Grey did after hearing the bad news was to flip through the calendar.

Next year, next year, next year... how long until next year?
Little Grey used its mouth to flip through the cards one by one, counting out how many days were left, and then it plopped down on the ground.

My goodness, so fast?!

Zhui Feng also came over and cupped Qing Ye's hand, his expression quite serious.

Is Mom really leaving?
Seeing Gu Qingye nod, Zhui Feng's tail crashed in an instant, and his mouth changed from ︶ to ︵.

Little Grey was heartbroken, and Chasing Wind fell into deep thought. The two children surprisingly made the same choice: they ran to the bedroom door together to wait for Lu Youyou to come out.

Gu Qingye's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

Soon, the scene he least wanted to see appeared.

As soon as Lu Youyou got up, she was greeted by two little tagalongs; even the mature and steady Zhui Feng couldn't escape this.

They don't just follow each other around; they need to have physical contact with Lu Youyou.

Little Grey either snuggles in Deer Youyou's arms or stands on her shoulder, while Chasing Wind leans against her legs, their bodies pressed tightly together, or at least their tails wrapped around each other.

The two of them would also work together to keep a close watch on people, and even Chasing Wind betrayed his old comrade's camp.

As soon as Gu Qingye gets close, Zhuifeng goes to Lu Youyou's side to take her place. Zhuifeng blocks him in the middle of the road, and then occupies the seats next to Lu Youyou on the left and right.

As long as Lu Youyou was sitting, Gu Qingye could only occupy the single seat next to her, and the long sofa was completely occupied by the family of three.

Of course, Lu Youyou was also reluctant to part with her two loving children at home.

Unlike in the future, she can't travel with her family without a private jet now. Whenever she goes abroad, she will inevitably be separated from Little Grey and Chasing Wind.

The two little ones are her own children. The nights belong to Gu Qingye, and she simply devotes all the rest of her time to her two precious babies.

Gu Qingye regretted it.

He used to be able to outwit his wife, but now he can only spend time alone with her at night when they sleep. The rest of the time, as long as Lu Youyou is at home, there is almost no place for him to put his feet within a meter.

Gu Qingye suddenly thought of something: after he and Lu Youyou have a child, will his wife still be his?

*
After her name was taken abroad, Lu Youyou found herself even more overwhelmed with other commitments.

Both projects need to be completed. Although she is not worried about her graduation thesis, she still has to go through the defense process.

In addition, before being sent abroad on official business, one must attend various training sessions and meetings. While some training sessions can be waived, meetings on ideological and political matters are indispensable.

Another busy day of rushing around came to an end, and Gu Qingye came to pick me up again. This time, instead of going straight home, we drove in the opposite direction.

"Where is this going?"

"Someone from Institute 507 has come; they want to discuss something with you."

Lu Youyou paused for a few seconds before finally banishing all the rules, regulations, and discipline for going abroad from her mind.

"Looking for me?"

Gu Qingye smiled and nodded, then took her hand and intertwined their fingers: "Deputy Director Luo came in person, along with leaders from the Equipment Department."

The few words had already revealed enough information, and Lu Youyou had some guesses.

Her connection with the 507 Institute was limited to the initial diving suit project. Now, the new diving suits have been put into large-scale use, and the results are said to be excellent.

She's about to leave the country, why is she still coming to see her? Could there be something wrong with her diving suit?
The car drove straight to the General Staff Headquarters before stopping. Lu Youyou was surprised. How did we get here?

If I remember correctly, Gu Bohuai should be working here, right?

Lu Youyou got out of the car and registered, then followed Gu Qingye to an empty conference room in the office building. Upon entering, she discovered that both people inside were acquaintances. Deputy Director Luo of the 507 Institute smiled and stood up as soon as he saw her; next to him was Gu Qingye's father, Gu Bohuai.

This combination was unexpected, but Lu Youyou remained calm and went up to greet the two of them.

"Comrade Lu, it's been a long time!" Deputy Director Luo warmly shook hands with Lu Youyou.

"Director Luo, it's been a long time."

Lu Youyou couldn't help but chuckle. The expression on Deputy Director Luo's face was all too familiar; he was looking at her with shining eyes as if she were some rare treasure.

He looked like this from the very first diving suit was invented, and he hasn't changed since. He smiles whenever he sees her.

At this moment, Gu Bohuai also spoke up: "Xiao Lu, this is Director Luo from Institute 507. You two are old acquaintances, so I won't introduce you further."

Lu Youyou's lips curled up slightly. No wonder Director Luo seemed a bit more prosperous; he had been promoted!

"I'm here on behalf of the Equipment Department to discuss cooperation with you. Director Luo will explain the details to you."

Lu Youyou then understood why she had come to the General Staff Department. A few years ago, the General Staff Department restored the equipment department, and the procurement and research of equipment in various military units were now under its jurisdiction.

Gu Bohuai's involvement is definitely above the norm. If it weren't for her, one person from the Equipment Department would have been enough.

Lu Youyou and Director Luo took their seats, and Gu Bohuai and Gu Qingye left together, leaving the two of them alone.

"Comrade Lu, I heard you're going to America soon?"

"Yes, I'll leave early next year."

"Comrade Lu, you have no idea how happy our director was to hear that you had made a breakthrough in the core technology of seawater desalination!"

Director Luo seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed, "The director is happy for you, but he also laments that he couldn't retain talent. He's been sighing for days!"

He didn't keep her in suspense any longer and pushed the folder on the table directly in front of Lu Youyou.

"Comrade Lu, I've come here today to ask you to continue your in-depth research on diving suits. This is a request from our frontline staff, and we would like to ask you to make further improvements based on the existing technology."

Director Luo knew Lu Youyou's personality; she spoke her mind directly and didn't beat around the bush.

Lu Youyou took it but didn't open it immediately. She looked at the other side and said, "But I'm going abroad soon..."

She wasn't unwilling at all. She still held the position of a specially appointed researcher at the 507 Institute, and it was a project she had personally overseen, so it was perfectly reasonable to continue seeking her out.

Director Luo's smile remained unchanged, but it now carried a hint of mystery.

"Yes, we know. We just want you to learn from advanced experiences abroad as much as possible, if conditions permit."

He didn't say it outright, but Lu Youyou instantly understood what he meant.

The point is to let her learn from the West to improve herself, and use her Sharingan to copy as much as she can.

It's likely that her photographic memory left a very deep impression on the other party.

It just so happens that she is going abroad on a government scholarship, and her studies are somewhat related to marine engineering, so we thought of giving her more responsibilities.

Lu Youyou made her decision after only one minute of consideration.

She was able to develop the 1.0 version of the diving suit with only limited information in the space. She would surely make new discoveries when she went abroad, and it shouldn't be a big problem for her to research the 2.0 version as well.

After thinking it through, she opened the document. Although Director Luo was all smiles on the surface, he was actually quite nervous inside, fearing that the task would be too difficult. Lu Youyou politely declined.

Seeing her actions now, I feel much relieved.

Comrade Lu is a good comrade of the Party and the people!
They really made the right choice hiring this special researcher!
