In the first year after marriage, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan each formed their own experimental teams, both holding national-level research projects in their hands.
Xie Dingyuan’s main base was still Hanqing Biology, occasionally borrowing Q University’s laboratories.
Speaking of Hanqing Biology, it had begun relocating from Linhuai several years ago. Now, its main operations and key laboratories had all moved to the capital.
Jiang Fuyue’s sphere of activity was within Ming University. Not only did she have her own personal laboratory there, but she was also backed by the rich interdisciplinary resources of Wujin Building, it could be called a “paradise.”
As project leaders and the core of their teams, the two shone in their respective fields and positions, achieving remarkable results.
But they were also truly busy, especially when a phase of experiments ended and analysis reports had to be produced. At those times, the two would simply stay in the laboratory.
Often going ten days to half a month without going home.
When they finally finished their work, they realized Niannian and Suisui had grown a lot taller, could run and jump, and could even hold spoons to eat by themselves.
Only then did they realize they had missed parts of their children’s growth.
This couldn’t continue, so the two agreed that no matter how busy they were, they had to be home before eleven every day.
Work time was compressed, but the workload didn’t change, so they could only improve efficiency.
As a result, the entire team also began operating efficiently.
That year, the number of papers published by Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan reached a historical high.
A saying even became popular in academic circles: “Never try to compete with Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue as a couple in speed, you won’t catch up!”
Yet countless graduate students still wanted to join their teams.
Also that year, Jiang Fuyue entered Q University to pursue a master’s degree in chemistry.
Zhou Zhengqi finally realized his dream of bringing Jiang Fuyue to his school!
It was said that on the day of graduate enrollment, he personally stood at the gates of Q University, greeting arrivals and departures, as happy as a child.
Unfortunately, Suisui had a fever that day, so Jiang Fuyue requested leave from the academic office and postponed her registration by three days.
Zhou Zhengqi: “?”
…
In the second year after marriage, Jiang Fuyue completed her master’s program at an astonishing speed and was hired by Q University as a professor.
She did not teach classes for the time being but was responsible for leading the laboratory and team there.
Meanwhile, Xie Dingyuan opened up a new field in cell recombination for Hanqing Biology, mainly researching human organ cloning.
That year, the two still maintained the habit of returning home before eleven.
If they occasionally couldn’t leave work on time and needed to be late, they would call in advance.
In the first half of the year, Jiang Fuyue was busy with new projects and papers, while Xie Dingyuan was relatively free, so he drove to Ming University at ten every night to pick her up.
Many times, he even brought Niannian and Suisui along.
From afar, Jiang Fuyue could hear the little girl’s cheerful voice calling “Mama.”
Yes, only Suisui’s voice.
Niannian was already three years old and still hadn’t spoken.
They took him to the hospital for examination, and the results showed everything was normal. Niannian’s vocal cords were perfectly fine, and there were no learning obstacles.
As for why he didn’t speak…
Doctor: “Maybe he just doesn’t want to.”
The two: “…”
After that, Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue stopped worrying about it.
In the second half of the year, it was Xie Dingyuan who became busy, and Jiang Fuyue followed his example, whenever she had time, she would drive to pick him up.
The students couldn’t help but sigh,
“Master’s wife is so nice! Smart, beautiful, gentle, and considerate. Professor is really so lucky!”
“That’s because you haven’t seen Professor driving to Ming University to pick Master’s wife up from work.”
Love had always been mutual giving and mutual fulfillment.
Not one-sided taking without knowing how to give back.
…
In the third year after marriage, the two took Niannian and Suisui to Duofu.
