Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Yang Jianguo nodded happily and said with emotion, "Yes, but you should be even more grateful to yourself for finding such a good wife and daughter-in-law... I should also be grateful."

A good woman brings prosperity to three generations! A good woman brings prosperity to three generations!

Chapter 631 Joint Group, Passing Away

The casual conversation ended the moment the two entered the laboratory.

Yang Jianguo also saw the reason why the palace had summoned him.

The byproduct of using ultra-high strength composite steel was discovered by chance.

The team led by the royal palace invented a completely new 'blackish-brown complex mixture composed of metallic derivatives.'

Its state is somewhat like that of liquid asphalt.

However, its reaction is quite different from that of asphalt. Under high temperatures, it gradually solidifies and reacts directly to temperature.

Aerospace coating!

After reviewing the data, this was the first thing that came to Yang Jianguo's mind.

Noticing the surprise in his eyes, the royal palace chuckled, "You thought of that too."

"So, have you done the test yet?"

Yang Jianguo didn't believe they would ignore such an obvious result.

"It's been tested, and the adhesion is very poor."

At room temperature, the liquid coating cannot be fixed onto the 'body'.

It slipped off naturally before it could be used.

Even if it takes off directly, what kind of reaction will occur if it encounters cold air at high altitudes or in the electrosphere? These are all things that need to be considered.

Currently, using it as a coating is just a beautiful vision.

The royal palace has made many efforts in this regard, but so far all have ended in failure.

Unwilling to give up, he thought of inviting Yang Jianguo, the creator of the "ultra-strong composite steel" technology.

His idea was simple: since one person couldn't do it alone.

Let's form a joint research group to conduct expanded research on the utilization of this new material.

How to turn it from 'waste' into 'treasure' is the problem they ultimately need to solve.

Yang Jianguo had no reason to object, nor did he even have the thought of objecting.

This novel, unique, and rare material also piqued his curiosity.

Moreover, if it could actually be used in the aerospace field.

Based on the experimental data from the tests, it will completely revolutionize the materials industry.

In this case, the inland side is essentially starting with both the King and Queen.

Both of these special materials are enough to change the future world order.

If used well, we might be shouting the slogan of "revival" right after the reform and opening up.

……

The following day, the Ministry of Industry and the Academy of Sciences jointly established a research and development team.

This news did not attract much attention from the outside world, and it didn't even cause a stir internally.

Every day, various research institutes and organizations open and close projects.

This will happen countless times. Is a research and development team really worth paying special attention to?

Of course, this is on the premise that Yang Jianguo's name does not appear on the list of group members.

This was his own idea, which the royal palace had strongly opposed.

However, he insisted on his opinion and refused to include his name in the public announcement.

This way, the level of attention can be minimized.

The joint team should keep a low profile as long as it produces results.

Furthermore, he himself cannot spend every day in the laboratory and can only provide limited assistance.

Therefore, we won't be using gun skills.

That being said, the royal palace also made it clear to him that he would never take credit for himself.

This goes against his bottom line as a human being, and even more so against his morality and dignity.

Yang Jianguo laughed and comforted him, "Don't make the problem sound so serious. It's all for science and for the country!"

The royal palace looked excited and nodded vigorously, saying, "Go for the Four Modernizations!"

Look at his excited performance, waving his fist and shouting in a low voice.

Yang Jianguo also raised his fist and chuckled softly, "Go for it!"

The atmosphere has been built up to this point, it would feel like something's missing if I didn't come.

Moreover, it would be impossible without the hard work, perseverance, and positive spirit of these people.

Where does this astonishing inland speed come from?

So, come on!

……

Summer solstice, the weather has just begun to change.

A piece of terrible news came from the courtyard: Aunt Yi had passed away.

Everything was fine the night before.

He also had a rare good appetite and ate twelve dumplings in one go.

Dazhuang also told her that he had met a girl he liked and was pursuing her.

Once I get my hands on it, I'll bring it back to show her, so she can wait to attend my wedding.

The whole family chatted and laughed, all feeling that her health had improved.

Unexpectedly, I woke up...

With a smile on her lips, Aunt Yi passed away peacefully in her dream.

Aunt Yi helped raise Dazhuang from a young age, and they have a very deep bond.

Upon hearing the news, she cried her heart out in the courtyard.

If Dazhuang's crying was heart-wrenching, Xiaozhuang's was so heartbreaking it made him lose his soul.

He was raised by Aunt Yi herself, with every bit of care and love; there was no faking it.

She knelt before the deathbed, calling out "Grandma" over and over again.

Finally, she cried so hard she could barely breathe.

The reason it escalated to such an extreme is twofold: firstly, I was genuinely heartbroken, and secondly...

There is also considerable pressure from public opinion; the filial son and virtuous grandson are being watched by countless eyes, both inside and outside the family.

Since Sha Zhu promised to provide for their retirement.

Over the years, the two families have lived like one family again.

If the burial is arranged hastily and coldly at this time, people will definitely gossip about it.

Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang are not married yet!

So, as soon as the incident happened, their mother, Qiuye, pulled the two of them aside and explained things to them.

Cry loudly, the louder and clearer the better.

If anyone ruins their reputation, don't blame her for picking up the feather duster again.

Picking up a feather duster is a joke, but reputation is not something to be joked about.

Back then, even someone like Xu Damao knew to protect his reputation when he was out in the public eye.

Not to mention the two of them, unmarried bachelors.

"Grandma, ah~~"

The mourning hall was filled with weeping, but Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang were the loudest.

Old Yi slumped to the side, his expression numb, with occasional glimpses of pain in his eyes.

My spouse has passed away; I'm heartbroken.

What made him even more upset was his two precious grandsons.

The crying was like a knife, stabbing into my heart again and again.

Originally, Lao Yi could have endured that discomfort.

But when they started howling like that, all those past memories came flooding back to their minds.

In an instant, Lao Yi's expression changed constantly, his unfocused gaze sometimes showing tenderness, sometimes coldness, and sometimes filled with regretful pain.

The more I think about it, the more upset I feel, a heavy weight on my heart, like a stone falling on the very tip of my soul.

Huff, huff~

His breathing became rapid, and his vision blurred, flickering and making it difficult to see clearly.

Reaching out to grab something, I found that I couldn't do it at all.

His last conscious thought was of his beloved grandson rushing to his side, tears streaming down his face, anxiously crying out, "Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Chapter 632 Seeking benevolence and attaining it, never forgetting

Old Yi is gone.

In the mourning hall that Sha Zhu had set up for his wife, he couldn't catch his breath.

Suddenly, everything went black, and that was it.

Life is far more fragile than we imagine.

After living together for so many years, the children treat Mr. and Mrs. Yi as their own grandparents and show them filial piety.

Now, the person is gone.

As one of the owners of Tianxiazhuang, he is also the head chef.

He Yuzhu is a renowned successor of the imperial cuisine tradition, famous throughout the capital, and now a highly respected figure in the culinary industry.

How could we not make sure they got a grand and successful outcome?

Not only should it be a grand affair, but all the people who should be invited should also be invited back.

Even if it's just the Liu family, Old Man Yan, who's so stingy, has to say something.

There's also Uncle Er, who spent his entire life obsessed with officialdom, only to end up suffering a stroke—the Liu Haizhong family.

None of these individuals can be missing.

Even if the older generation can't come, they have to send a child from their own family.

My neighbor of most of my life is gone. As long as I'm still in the capital, I didn't have any deadly grudges against him.

Regardless of whether there are any conflicts, everyone has to be there now.

"Zhu Zi, have you notified everyone?"

Ran Qiuye, who was busy making arrangements in the mourning hall, went back to her room to get some cigarettes and casually asked a question.

"We've arrived. The Liu family is here, and Uncle Er... it seems he's coming too."

"Can he come?" Ran Qiuye took out a cigarette and stopped to chat with him for a bit longer.

Since his second stroke, Liu Haizhong has never fully recovered.

Now, he sits in a wheelchair with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, unable to speak clearly.
