Chapter 64: Being a Stepmother 32
There are only twenty-four hours in a day. Ye Zhiqiu admits that she is neither a superman nor a time management master. Between work and family, she will definitely choose work, so Han Yue must learn to take care of herself.
Fortunately, the school was just across the wall, and there were many children in the tube building who went to school next door, so there was no need to worry about safety. Despite this, she still prepared candies and biscuits for Han Dalin to take Han Yue to visit the neighbors, especially those with older children.
The neighbors were also curious about their family. When they saw them bringing gifts to their doorstep, they were all very enthusiastic and proactive. However, Ye Zhiqiu was not used to their habit of asking everything.
The level of this inquiry was comparable to a household registration check. Fortunately, there was Han Dalin, who could handle it. She only had to smile and praise the other party's child from time to time.
After they left, the neighbors opened the gifts they received and praised Ye Zhiqiu for his generosity. The White Rabbit candy was something they were not willing to buy, and the peach cakes were something they had to put away and eat slowly.
The children at home were not happy. They heard Ye Zhiqiu say that this was a gift for them, so why couldn’t they eat it? Would it go bad if they put it away before they could eat it?
Parents don't care about this. It's just a polite remark. They just listen to it and take it seriously. It's better to keep it as a gift. What will be left after eating it?
Ye Zhiqiu knew that most parents would not leave food for their children, so he gave a portion to Han Yue and asked her to take it out to make friends.
Han Yuehui is familiar with this question. She made friends in this way when she was in the village. The older children all listened to her. Now moving to a new place is just starting over. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Han Dalin was relieved to see that Han Yue was not afraid of anything. He was about to go back to school, and Ye Zhiqiu was busy. If Han Yue couldn't take care of herself, he might have to send her back to the village.
Perhaps because she was worried about being sent back to the village, Han Yue behaved very well. Not only did she get along well with the older children around her, she also learned to do housework, which was something she had never done in the village.
In the village, when Han's father asked her to do some work, she ran out and yelled that he favored boys over girls. With her yelling like that, Han's father dared not ask her to work, because he didn't want to be drowned in the villagers' saliva.
Ye Zhiqiu gave Han Yue the key to hang around her neck, and put the change and food coupons in the drawer so that she could go to the canteen to buy food. The canteen was also close, just behind the tube building where they lived. They chose this place for convenience.
This unit has good conditions and its canteen is open to the public, but most people don't know about it. Those who know about it will not travel far to eat and buy meals unless they live nearby. After all, every unit has a canteen.
Ye Zhiqiu arranged these trivial matters before devoting all her energy to the experiment. Before entering the laboratory, she did not forget to remind Han Dalin that Han Yue was still young and her energy was limited. If she was too busy with work to take good care of the children, he should not blame her.
Han Dalin smiled bitterly, thinking that marrying a wife was a waste, but he was unwilling to take the initiative to file for divorce. Outsiders did not know, but he felt that this opportunity to go to military school might be because the leaders saw that he was too far behind his wife and promoted him on purpose.
Of course, his ability and hardware are up to the standard, but so are others. He is given priority for these reasons. He does not want to divorce and dares not. His partner has not made any mistakes, but he wants a divorce without a clear reason. A disciplinary punishment is the least of his worries.
Well, this may be a bit exaggerated, but divorce is indeed an important matter and he can't get a divorce just because he wants to.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about that. Before marriage, she said she would not be a good wife and mother in the traditional sense. She had a job and was busy with her career. Even if she couldn't make any achievements, she would not focus on her family. After all, her goal was to be supported by the country in her old age, so how could she not work hard?
For this great goal, Ye Zhiqiu also worked hard and was reluctant to leave the laboratory. Usually he was fine, but worried that Han Yue would be scared at home alone, so he knew to go home after dark.
When Han Dalin comes back on weekends, she wants to live in the lab. She seems to work very hard, but there are people in the lab who work harder than her, and people who are more talented than you work harder than you. If the King of Papers doesn't leave her a way out, what can she do?
If you don’t have the talent and don’t work hard, how can you expect the country to support you in your old age?
With this hard work, Ye Zhiqiu actually achieved results before graduating from graduate school. After all, she had an advantage that others could not match, and that was knowing the direction of future technological development.
When the results came out, except for the teachers and classmates who watched her do experiments every day, the first reaction of others was not surprise, but shock and suspicion, suspecting that the experimental results were false.
It felt bad to be doubted, but she was prepared. She took out the paper she had already written and asked others to verify and repeat the experiment.
Others didn't believe her, but the teacher took the initiative to find her, hoping that she could join the genetic team. She was moved. This was a big project, so big that she had heard about it countless times in her previous life.
Gene cloning abroad is already ahead, while domestic research has lagged far behind. I hope her joining can bring some good luck to everyone. After all, her experimental success rate is incredibly high.
Ye Zhiqiu thought of the famous cloned sheep. She had to join such a big project and couldn't miss it. If she could really make achievements, she wouldn't have to worry about her doctoral thesis and might even graduate early.
With a thick and big carrot hanging in front of her, Ye Zhiqiu was full of energy. Not to mention Han Yue, she didn't even have time to talk to Han Dalin when he came back.
Han Dalin felt more bitter than if he had eaten coptis root. He wanted to marry the beauty as soon as possible and have a fat boy. What happened? He went to bed at night and Ye Zhiqiu hadn't come home yet. He didn't wake up in the morning and Ye Zhiqiu went out.
She was really working harder than the donkey in the production team. He advised her not to work so hard, but she looked at him as if she didn't understand, and said that she would leave the housework to him, and if it really didn't work, she could ask someone else for help.
In the past two years, the atmosphere has become more and more open, but Han Dalin has never thought of hiring someone to do housework. It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, but the house is small and Han Yue still sleeps in the living room. Where will another outsider sleep?
Ye Zhiqiu also felt that the house was a little small, but she could tolerate it for the time being. She had a single dormitory at school, and when Han Dalin came home on weekends, she would sleep in the dormitory.
Yes, they have been married for many years, but they have never slept in the same bed. If you tell others, no one will believe it. It's not that she doesn't want to, but every time she wants to be together, something or other interrupts her plan.
She was not anxious, but Han Dalin was anxious, but his anxiety was useless. After graduating from the military academy, he was about to go to the battlefield, so he seriously prepared for their wedding night.
In order to prevent any more accidents from happening, he sent Han Yue back to his hometown for the summer vacation.
