Chapter 135: Gathering of Big Shots

An Yinan said secretly, "Or should I practice it one more time for you all to see?"

Everyone's face was not exactly clean; there was a smudge of gray here, or a smear of black there.

After hearing An Yinan's words, they all nodded quickly, just like children in kindergarten.

As An Yinan explained, she did it again; the entire movement was graceful and relaxed, even carrying a hint of nonchalance, a world of difference compared to their tension.

A fragrance of medicine wafted from the furnace; after adding the medicinal powder, An Yinan poured in honey and began to roll the Honey Pills, "It's just like this, very simple."

... leaving only the sound of frogs...

"Could it be that my movements aren't graceful enough?" a doctor from the Military General Hospital said.

A researcher said, "Is it possible that we are too tense?"

Fifteen minutes later, "Boom," "Boom," two sounds of the furnace exploding.

"I was already graceful!"

"I was relaxed too..."

The Dean helplessly slapped one hand on each of them, leaving the two show-offs stunned, "Focus on learning."

Finally, on the third day, a researcher finally refined the first batch; although the medicinal effect was a bit inferior, it could be considered the first success.

Those proud doctors and those confident researchers were now all disheveled; even upon hearing of the success, they were somewhat dazed, completely unable to react.

Clearly, these two days had been a heavy blow to them.

After testing, although the batch of medicine refined by the researcher had slightly lower efficacy, the learning could stop.

It had been almost two months since arriving at the Northeast Camp, and the Northeast Camp finally stopped snowing all day, entering a rare period of good days.

"I'm going on a mission." One day, Chen Xun returned and looked at An Yinan as he spoke.

Tall stature, upright figure, with flames in his eyes.

He pulled An Yinan into his embrace.

These days, he didn't have much time to accompany her; he was training new recruits, while An Yinan was conducting experiments, and it was only during the time she was recovering from her injuries that they had time to be together.

"Is it dangerous?"

An Yinan didn't ask what the mission was, nor did she ask for specific details, because she knew these things could not be said.

Although this man was her legal husband, he ultimately did not belong entirely to her; he belonged more to the country.

"Not dangerous." Chen Xun ruffled her hair and comforted her.

An Yinan also patted his back, "That's good, stay safe."

There was too little she could say and too little she could do; as a military wife, she could only silently support him from behind and pray that he would return safely from every mission.

That night, Chen Xun left; before leaving, he handed over his salary from these two months and exchanged a Watch Ticket with his comrades.

"Don't skimp on money; although I don't earn much, I spend it all on you." Now Chen Xun's salary was not low; besides his fixed salary, there were bonuses for missions, totaling over a hundred yuan each month. He ate in the cafeteria and only kept five yuan for living expenses, handing over all the rest.

He had originally thought he earned quite a bit, but ever since he found out about An Yinan's salary, although he wouldn't just give up, his view on money seemed to have changed; even if he worked himself to death, it seemed he couldn't exceed her salary!

An Yinan's weekly salary was now very stable, basically around two thousand yuan; one reason was that she had been promoted to a confidential translator, and the pay per character had been adjusted, and another was that the materials she translated were simply too numerous, amounting to the translation volume of many translators over several months.

"Okay." An Yinan accepted it gladly; previously she had no name to accept it, and the money was stored in her space for him, but now she accepted it with peace of mind.

Because the two of them had already received their marriage certificate; they did not have the reality of a married couple, but they had the name of one.

At this time in Beijing, with the Physics Project Department as the lead, and various major projects and institutions as support, they surrounded the Compilation Bureau.

"Comrade Fang, this material is truly very important!" Professor Zhang of the Physics Project Department said.

This material provided a systematic classification for the field of physics; whether it concerned their project research or systematic teaching, it was of great help to them.

Professor Zhang stayed in the Project Department all year round, even eating and resting there; he hadn't left the Project Department for over three months, and this time, after seeing the Mind Map, he really couldn't sit still.

"Comrade Fang, isn't such a method worth promoting? If this special method becomes an established project and teaches more people, it will be a major breakthrough for our country's data informatization!" the Principal of Beijing University said.

"Comrade Fang, we understand that you are protecting your people."

"But the country needs such talent; your Compilation Bureau cannot delay the country's Development Economics because of personal selfishness," the Principal of Qingmu University said earnestly; his tone was persuasive, but every word was as heavy as a thousand catties.

Fang Hong looked at these people helplessly; each one was a big shot, not to be scolded, not to be driven away, not to be blasted out.

"I understand everyone's feelings, but this comrade is too special; our Compilation Bureau needs to make some preparations. It's not that we won't introduce her to you, but our Compilation Bureau does not have the ability to order her."

"She does not belong to our Compilation Bureau."

"So our Compilation Bureau needs to make some arrangements, and I ask everyone to please wait a while."

Fang Hong didn't manage to persuade all these people to leave until her throat was almost smoking.

An Yinan had originally planned to return to Quanshui Village in two days; since Chen Xun had gone on a mission, she also had to return to Quanshui Village, as the Compilation Bureau had been urging her for a long time.

Ever since An Yinan's Mind Map was brought over, the Compilation Bureau, the Education Bureau, and the Research Institute held a meeting immediately; the parts An Yinan had done made their eyes light up.

But for the later parts, although they tried to master the method, they always felt it didn't match up.

All of them were putting pressure on the Compilation Bureau...

This day, in order to catch the train, Mo Kun arranged for his Guard early in the morning to send An Yinan and Yun Shu away with big bags and small bags.

There were three people when they came, but only two when they left.

Chen Xun had gone on a mission, and Zhang Qian had also left Quanshui Village because his mission ended.

They had come in a hurry, feeling uneasy and even afraid in their hearts.

But when returning, although there was still worry in their hearts, they were no longer afraid.

"Nan Nan, you're finally back." The military jeep drove to the Daduibu; as soon as An Yinan got off the jeep, Aunt Li surrounded her, looking at her with a worried face, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the child was unharmed.

It turned out that at some point, this child had already become a person of Quanshui Village.

"Aunt Li, are you here to find the Captain uncle?" An Yinan said with a smile, still the same as before.

Aunt Li clapped her hands, "Hey, I came over to ask, when are you coming back? You've been gone for two months; if you didn't come back, Huzi wouldn't even recognize you anymore."

An Yinan said with a smile, "Look at me, isn't this quite good?"

"By the way, I brought you some good things; I'll send them to your house later," An Yinan said.

Aunt Li waved her hand, "As long as you are safe, that's all that matters. Why bring gifts? Hurry home and take a look; your Xiao Yuan is very clean, Li and Xie have been cleaning it for you every day."

"Alright, then I'll come visit your house tomorrow. I'm going back to wash up today, I stink to high heaven." An Yinan pinched her little nose, fanning the air with her other hand, clearly looking as if she were about to be suffocated by her own stench.

This made Aunt Li burst into laughter, "Look at this cheeky little girl, who would dare marry you in the future?"

An Yinan gave a cheeky smile, feeling smug inside, "Heh, didn't I already marry myself off early?"

Thinking this, she suddenly realized that her state of mind seemed to have changed.

Returning to her own Xiao Yuan, the garden was already planted with vegetables, now a lush green patch, and the house was clean and tidy; it was very clear that someone came over to clean often.

Seeing all this, An Yinan felt very warm inside and felt even more at ease.

People leave traces behind, geese leave their calls behind; it turns out everything has a trail to follow.

She would eventually put down roots here, and even if she wouldn't bloom into the most beautiful flower, she would still be worthy of the gears of fate that brought her here for a strange journey.

There is a man who loves her, a younger brother with whom she shares blood, and so many friends by her side.

How fortunate she is!
