Chapter 189 (1/2)
It was noon when I went home. When I went down the corridor, several old people and their children were playing by the flower bed.
Some are still running while eating.
”Little ancestor, don't run, come and have two more bites!”
”I'm full!” The child said softly.
”Eat a little more and you'll grow tall!” Grandma coaxed the child.
The child stopped to eat a few mouthfuls and ran crazy again.
Guo Xiang shook his head. This is the way Chinese people feed. It's not good for children.
”Pounce!” the crazy child ran into Guo Xiang's face. She quickly stretched out her hand to hold the child, ”be careful!”
”Who are you?” The child blinked his big eyes and looked up at Guo Xiang.
”I'm new here. You don't know me!” Guo Xiang smiled. He didn't go out much in the past half a month, so many people don't know him yet.
”Are you Gu Gong's daughter-in-law? I hear you're a doctor? ” Asked the child's grandmother.
Last time, the worker replanted his severed finger. Everyone has heard about it, but many people haven't seen Guo Xiang.
”Yes!” Guo Xiang smiled. ”Don't let the child run around when he eats. Be careful when he gets angry and has a stomachache!”
”Alas, he won't listen to me. It's all right. I'm used to it.” The child's grandmother smiled and said.
Guo Xiang looked at the bowl she held in her hand. The food inside was rotten. He thought it wouldn't happen that peanuts went into his lungs last time, so he nodded, ”it's better to be careful. If you are busy, I'll go back first. ”
Back home, Gu Zhennan has returned and is cooking.
”Back? Are you out? ” Gu Zhennan asked.
”Well, I gave the translation to President Jiang and went to see Mr. Huang. I went to the electrical factory again and came back late.” Guo Xiang took off his coat and hung it up.
Now it's nearly April, and the weather is getting warmer, but there is still heating in the Northeast house. The heating will almost stop in mid April.
”Right away. Wash your hands and eat!” Gu Zhennan said.
Guo Xiang walked behind him and hugged him. ”My husband has worked hard!”
Gu Zhennan turned his head and kissed her on the forehead. ”It's not hard. Now the work is much easier than before in the oil team.”
When they washed their hands and ate, Guo Xiang asked, ”by the way, did you say anything about the patent fee?”
Gu Zhennan shook his head, ”no!”
Guo Xiang sighed that 80% of the patent fee can't be obtained. So much money, more than one million dollars, if it's only thousands or even tens of thousands, it may still give Gu Zhennan, but it's impossible to think about so much money.
”We don't rely on that either. We don't want to.” Gu Zhennan said.
Guo Xiang nodded. Naturally, she knew that she could make money here. It was a pity that it would be personal property in future generations.
”But today, Minister Zhang asked me if I completed the design and creation alone.” Gu Zhennan said again, ”I said yes. At that time, where did I have scientific research funds in the oil team? No one helped me. I even bought the drawings myself. ”
”Huh? What does he mean? Is there hope? ” Guo Xiang was surprised.
Gu Zhennan was noncommittal. ”Don't report too much hope. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.”
”Oh!” Guo Xiang answered, and she thought, so much money, in this age, tut Tut, millionaires.
In the afternoon, Gu Zhennan went to work. Guo Xiang was reading at home. At about five o'clock, he was preparing to cook. There was a knock on the door outside.
Guo Xiang went to open the door. At the door was the grandmother who fed the children at noon.
”Dr. Guo, I have something to trouble you.” The child's grandmother said a little embarrassed.
