Chapter 130: Re-mentioning the Marriage
"Dad, this is great news!" Jiang Shiyuan first called his father's military headquarters, unable to hide his excitement.
"Xiaoyuan, how come you have time to call dad? What are you so happy about?"
Marshal Jiang on the other end of the phone put down the documents in his hand, listened to his daughter's hurried voice, and smiled lovingly.
"Penicillin! Our domestically produced penicillin can be mass-produced!" Jiang Shiyuan's face turned red with excitement.
"What?!" Marshal Jiang stood up suddenly and exclaimed.
"Are you serious? Xiaoyuan'er, this is not a joke!" Marshal Jiang held the receiver tightly and asked anxiously.
"Dad, it's absolutely true!"
"I have found a method suitable for mass production. The production workshop is now urgently preparing raw materials and will be able to start production soon!"
Jiang Shiyuan spoke in a firm tone, with a confident gleam in his eyes.
"Good! Good! Good!" Marshal Jiang was so excited that he said three good words in a row and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Your mother in heaven would be proud of you too!"
"The war with the Japanese army is about to break out. With a large amount of penicillin, we can fight this tough battle with the Japanese pirates with more confidence!"
Jiang Shiyuan held back her tears and turned to look out the window of the independent research and development room, as if she saw her mother's gentle smile and the dawn of victory in the anti-Japanese war.
After hanging up the phone with her father, she immediately reported the good news to her brother Jiang Shijia.
Jiang Shijia had just finished a military meeting and was in a very heavy mood.
But when he heard the good news from his sister, the gloom hidden between his handsome brows was instantly swept away.
He was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Little sister, brother is so proud of you!"
"You are simply the God of Medicine. You will save countless lives!"
After telling his brother the good news, Jiang Shiyuan put down the receiver and muttered to himself, "I have to report this great news to the organization immediately!"
"Also, the Military Control Commission must be notified immediately."
So she called Sui'an Dingxing and Baomozhai respectively.
Gu Fangxun, who was working alone in the production room, put down the ruler in his hand immediately after hearing the news, and said excitedly: "Xiaoyuan, that's great, that's great, I'll send a message to my hometown immediately!"
When Stationmaster Wang in Baomozhai heard the news, he was so excited that he almost threw away his precious pipe.
He slammed the table and stood up, praising loudly: "Shennong, you did a great job. This time you have made a great contribution to the party and the country!"
Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door of the independent research and development room.
Jiang Shiyuan quickly hung up the phone and ran to open the door.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jingan at the door looked excited and came up to Jiang Shiyuan and gave him a big hug.
"Ayuan, you are simply amazing!"
"You've been working so hard these days!"
Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhou who were outside the door couldn't resist the gossip flames burning in their hearts, so they all sat in the front row to eat melons.
Jiang Shiyuan quickly broke free from his embrace and said with a look of reproach: "Hey, Mr. Chen, we have to be careful about the impact in the company!"
Chen Jing'an blinked his bright eyes and smiled dotingly, "Ayuan, hurry up and pack up and go home to rest. Leave the rest to me!"
Jiang Shiyuan hadn't slept properly in bed for the past half month, so naturally he wanted to go home quickly to take a shower and have a good sleep.
"Brother Jing, I'll have to work hard on you from now on!"
She picked up her pearl handbag, pushed Chen Jing'an out of the independent R&D room, turned around, locked the door, and then drove away from Jiayuan Pharmaceutical.
Jiang Shiyuan returned to the Wanguo Apartment and had just come out of the shower when the phone rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Xiaoyuan, I am your Aunt Chen!"
"We heard from Jing'an that you just successfully developed a method for mass production of penicillin. That's amazing!"
"Hello, Auntie. This is all part of my job as a research and development consultant."
"Hey, look at you, why are you being so modest in front of your aunt?"
"Xiaoyuan, come to Chen Mansion for dinner tonight. I'll ask the newly hired chef to make a few more of your favorite dishes. Let's celebrate together!"
"Tonight?" Jiang Shiyuan, who wanted to catch up on his sleep, hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid not tonight, I..."
"Oh, don't refuse. Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time, and your Uncle Chen misses you too!"
"I will also invite your Aunt Xiang to come over tonight, and we can take this opportunity to have a good family reunion!"
"Okay then, I'll try to get there as early as possible." Jiang Shiyuan couldn't resist Mrs. Chen's enthusiasm, so he had to agree.
She hung up the phone and fell asleep, and slept until six o'clock.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Shiyuan drove to Chen Mansion as promised.
"Xiaoyuan, you are here, please take a seat!" As soon as Mrs. Chen saw Jiang Shiyuan, she warmly invited her to sit down.
"Uncle and aunt, I've been sleep deprived lately and I overslept. Sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Mr. Chen, who was dressed in a refined manner, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we understand!"
Jiang Shiyuan saw Chen Xiangyun, who was wearing a royal blue jacquard shantung silk cheongsam and looking at her with a smile, and immediately greeted her obediently.
"Good evening, Aunt Xiang!"
Chen Xiangyun nodded and said softly, "Good evening, Xiaoyuan, please take a seat!"
Mrs. Chen also smiled and said, "Come, Xiaoyuan, try this appetizer soup first. I asked the kitchen to cook it for you."
"Thank you, auntie." Jiang Shiyuan took the bowl of soup and took a sip.
Mr. Chen, who had not been seen for a long time, looked at Jiang Shiyuan with admiration.
"Xiaoyuan, I heard from Jing'an that the method you developed to mass-produce penicillin will save countless soldiers' lives in the future. It's really a great deed!"
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but smile modestly, "Uncle, you're too kind. I just did what I should do."
"You are just too modest. It is hard to find a girl as outstanding as you nowadays!"
Mrs. Chen said this, looking meaningfully at Chen Jingan who was sitting opposite her.
Chen Jing'an received his mother's gaze and immediately understood what she meant.
He turned to look at Jiang Shiyuan expectantly, and said in a gentle tone: "Ayuan, we should indeed..."
"Ahem..." Chen Qingyan deliberately coughed twice, interrupting Chen Jingan's next words.
"Chen Jing'an, why are you so impatient? A-Yuan hasn't even started eating yet, why did you start eating first?"
After Chen Qingyan finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at Chen Jingan, then turned to Jiang Shiyuan and said, "Ah Yuan, ignore him. He is just like that, always irritable!"
"It's okay, A'yan." Jiang Shiyuan smiled at her, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere of today's family dinner.
Mrs. Chen glared at her daughter and took the initiative to point out the real purpose of today's family dinner.
"Xiaoyuan, you and Jing'an know each other very well, you grew up together and are a perfect match, but now you two are not young anymore, why don't you..."
Mrs. Chen paused here deliberately, observing Jiang Shiyuan's reaction.
Jiang Shiyuan felt bad in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face and still maintained an elegant and decent smile.
Then Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Why not take advantage of this auspicious day to set a date for your wedding!"
