Chapter 526: Chapter 220: The Top-grade Classical Prose (Part 12)_3
She smiled and pulled out the items, then explained how to eat each one.
"Big sister, I really can’t thank you enough, how much is everything? I’ll pay you!"
Wu Zhuoya was overjoyed. Sea cucumber, abalone, and the like had always been tribute items since ancient times.
Now that supplies were scarce, getting such good nourishments, even at a higher price, Wu Zhuoya felt grateful to people.
However, the old lady waved her hands, "Oh, these are local specialties sent by relatives from my hometown, didn’t cost much. Besides, Tiantian is from our factory 3518, going to the Capital City to bring glory to our factory..."
The old lady simply refused to take any money, even seeming to scold Wu Zhuoya kindly.
Seeing the old lady so insistent, Wu Zhuoya did not push further, but silently noted down this kindness to repay later when the Seo family needed it.
Just after Chief Engineer Seo’s family member left, Feng Zheng’s mother, Mrs. Feng, came to visit.
"Xiao Wu, these are salted duck eggs and canned fish that my son-in-law brought from abroad. Our family doesn’t like them much, but Tiantian enjoys them, so give them all to her!"
Wu Zhuoya’s money and tickets were also declined by Mrs. Feng.
Then came Factory Director Yang’s wife, a typical rural woman who enjoyed tinkering with food.
Where she found the items from, no one knew, but she made Tiantian a net full of fried dough twist, crispy dough sticks, and meatballs, each wrapped in oil paper.
This old lady also sewed Tiantian a small shoulder bag with individual compartments that could hold various kinds of food.
Wu Zhuoya:...
She was numb by now.
Suddenly, Wu Zhuoya felt that Tiantian was no longer just her daughter, but the darling of the entire factory 3518.
Essentially, anyone in the factory who had the rank to know the "secret" did everything they could to cater to Tiantian.
When Tiantian departed, not only was she carrying the specially made shoulder bag, but the two soldiers responsible for her protection also carried bulging luggage.
Those huge luggage bags contained simple bedding and a few changes of clothes, but mostly various kinds of food.
Milk powder, chocolate, brown sugar, rendered pork fat, etc., were standard, in addition to the delicacies brought by the ten households.
From afar, one could even smell the aroma.
Thank goodness Factory Director Yang had booked a sleeping berth for Tiantian; otherwise, she might have made an entire carriage of people drool.
"Commander, everything is arranged, would you like to rest now, or—"
The Soldier placed the luggage properly, then kindly made Tiantian a cup of brown sugar water, then politely addressed her.
"..." Tiantian sat blankly by the window, her eyes unconsciously watching the scenery speed by outside.
It seemed she did not hear the Soldier’s words but was captivated by something else.
The Soldier didn’t dare to disturb her; having been around Tiantian for some days, he knew this genius expert’s mind worked differently from ordinary people.
Ah, don’t get it wrong, it’s not a curse; he meant to say that the expert possessed a super brain, always thinking deeply.
And unless Tiantian took the initiative to request something, or spoke up, they couldn’t afford to disturb her carelessly.
For they themselves couldn’t be sure if they would disrupt the genius.
If she was contemplating a very important matter and they accidentally scared away her inspiration with their interruption, they could hardly forgive themselves, and they wouldn’t be too far from being considered culprits.
The Soldier dared not disturb her, yet he kept a watchful eye on Tiantian, fearing any anomaly.
Before leaving, not just Factory Director Yang and He Yaohua, but also Wu Zhuoya had reminded the Soldiers repeatedly to pay attention to Engineer He’s health.
If she showed any signs of a nosebleed or seemed unwell, they were to quickly feed her milk powder or something oily.
The Soldier closely observed Tiantian; suddenly, he saw a glint in her eyes.
The Soldier thought, "Eh, does Engineer He have a new insight?"
Sure enough, he heard Tiantian request, "Give me two sheets of paper and two pens."
Without hesitation, the Soldier quickly retrieved what Tiantian asked for and laid them out on the small table.
"Thank you!" Tiantian said, taking the two pens.
The Soldier paused, puzzled as to why she had taken both pencils.
Shouldn’t she use them one at a time?
Then, the Soldier widened his eyes, witnessing a scene he would never forget in his lifetime—
Tiantian held a pen in each hand, starting to write simultaneously.
However, the frequency of writing in each hand was different.
Containing his astonishment, the Soldier cautiously approached, then made an even more incredible discovery.
The two pens seemed to be held by two different people, as the content they wrote was completely different.
One pen performed calculations while the other quickly wrote down data...
