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

Chapter 322 Outstanding Successors of Socialism

Little Grey was overjoyed to have found jobs for his wife and children all by himself. He stomped his feet to supervise Gu Qingye as he wrapped the four fur balls in his coat, then went to comfort the somewhat nervous Big Beautiful Eagle.

Relax. Even if the laborer is unreliable, Mom will definitely be reliable. Our child will surely grow up to be an outstanding successor of socialism!
That's probably how it's phrased, Little Grey is a little unsure, but it's okay, that's the gist of it anyway.

The child has to win back some of the medals and certificates it has received before; the whole family should be complete.

The Little Grey family lived in the courtyard for a few days. After the four cubs and the mother eagle got used to the human scent, Gu Qingye took a report to Gu Bohuai.

Gu Bohuai assumed he had something important to do and specifically instructed the orderly not to let anyone disturb him.

"Kiyono, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

Gu Qingye handed over the report. Gu Bohuai was puzzled. He thought for a moment and realized that there didn't seem to be any special missions recently.

He opened the homepage and was stunned when he saw the first line of text. He looked up at Gu Qingye and saw that he was calm and composed, so he knew that he was not joking.

Gu Bohuai continued reading, becoming more and more confused.

He knew that Lu Youyou kept a very powerful owl, and that the owl had even saved his son's life, but training the owl to scare away birds at the airport...

That's just too far-fetched!

"Kiyono, are you serious?"

Gu Qingye nodded.

Gu Bohuai quickly scanned the report again, confirming that it was indeed Gu Qingye's handwriting, before erasing the word "absurd" from his mind.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "We can give it a try, but if the training results are not ideal..."

Gu Qingye then smiled and said, "I believe they can."

Although Little Grey is a bit mischievous, it never jokes about serious matters, and if it makes a promise, it will definitely get things done.

Even if they can't train them to be good, just take them home. No matter their abilities, they're still your own child. They can eat, drink, have fun, or go out and enjoy themselves.

In his decades of work, this was the most unbelievable job Gu Bohuai had ever taken on.

The next day, when Gu Qingye personally delivered the six owls—two large and four small—to the training base, Gu Bohuai and the temporary military dog ​​handlers who had come to help were all silent.

"The biggest one is called Little Grey. It can understand what you're saying, and it can translate any commands to the rest of you."

The instructor has been in a daze ever since he received the order.

Being able to understand human speech is one thing, but what's with the translation?

"Commander Gu, this... I... I can talk to it directly?" The trainer pointed at Little Grey.

Seeing Gu Qingye nod, the instructor tried asking, "Can you line up in one row?"

He was afraid that Xiao Huihui wouldn't be familiar with commands like "Stand at attention" and "Line up," so he used plain language instead, and his tone wasn't as quick and precise as usual.

Little Grey rolled its eyes; there were always ignorant humans who looked down on it.

Ah, its free and untamed soul, its brilliant mind, for the sake of its wife and children, it should endure for now.

Little Grey barked a few times, and the four little ones were still a bit confused, staring wide-eyed at him.

The great eagle spread its wings, stroked them with its left and right hands, and arranged its four chicks in a straight line, then stood at the very back.

High, low, low, low, high, a horizontally elongated version of the character "凹" appeared before them.

Only Gu Qingye remained calm and composed, while the trainer's eyes were already shining with excitement. Could this really work?! Gu Bohuai also put away his hesitation. Apart from military dogs, he had never seen any animal so obedient.

The trainer then tried some simple commands. Little Grey didn't need to explain, but Big Beauty Eagle understood them very well with its translation.

The younger ones are hard to tell yet, but at least they listen to their parents and will do whatever the big eagle does to them, no matter how it tries to mold or shape them.

The instructor's confidence grew a little more: "With the leadership and the regiment's approval, we can give it a try. I think there's a good chance."

Gu Bohuai looked at Gu Qingye. He was only in charge of this matter; the specifics were up to Gu Qingye to decide.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Just contact me if you need anything."

As the guardian, Gu Qingye certainly wouldn't just hand the dog over to the dog team and leave it to them. After handing it over to his comrades, he still had to give instructions to Little Grey.

"You have to keep a close eye on your child. He can't be naughty, especially you. He can't go where he shouldn't be and he can't cause trouble, understand?"

Little Grey really wanted to peck at people, but he held back for the sake of his image. It was the first day of school for his children, and as parents, we should set a good example for them.

"Gurgle gurgle, quack quack quack!"

Okay, I know, this is so annoying, let's go!

It grew up in the compound of the gang, how could it not know these things?
Hmph, who do you think you are!

*
Since Little Grey started accompanying the child to school, she has been living a life of leaving early and returning late.

Sometimes when it's too lazy to fly, it hitches a ride with Gu Qingye to the base, and then hitches a ride back at night. Its life is even more regular than Lu Youyou's.

Lu Youyou rested at home for a while, organized the materials she brought back, and then returned to Tsinghua University.

This is actually her first formal job in her life. Although she doesn't have any students yet, the office sign is already up.

After this period of time, many people at Tsinghua University have come to know that Lu Youyou, the once famous senior student, has become an associate professor, and even holds associate professorships in two colleges.

Even before Lu Youyou started her job, people would occasionally pass by the newly renovated office; now that she's here, even more people are "visiting" it.

Most people just take the opportunity to pass by and casually glance at the students, but there are always some bolder ones who bring their textbooks and homework to ask for help.

So what if I haven't started teaching yet? Since I'm an associate professor, it shouldn't be a problem for people to ask me some professional questions, right?

Lu Youyou gladly accepted the students' "enthusiasm," as it was a good opportunity to preview whether there were any suitable candidates to be recruited into the project team.

Many people genuinely wanted to learn from me, but most were simply curious to test the mettle of Tsinghua University's youngest associate professor.

Especially for freshmen and sophomores, who had already gone abroad when they enrolled, they had only heard of the genius senior's reputation but had never truly experienced her domineering presence.

They are all chosen ones of the emperor; it's hard to truly be convinced without trying it out for oneself.

Lu Youyou received all sorts of questions—simple, difficult, beyond the scope of the curriculum, and even some wildly imaginative ones—and without exception, she received perfect answers to every single one.

Duan Mingjuan, the girl I met that day, was among them. She genuinely wanted to learn from him and came every day, her eyes shining brighter with each question.

Duan Mingjuan's heart also completely sided with Lu Youyou.

Since the opportunity to go abroad is invisible and intangible, it's better to seize the opportunity right in front of you.

This is a golden opportunity to become Senior Sister Lu's first disciple. If you miss this chance, you'll never have another one!
