The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 209 Wedding Scene
A group of experts and professors immediately stood up and said:
"That's right, Consultant Li. Your contributions to semiconductors alone are enough to earn you a place in the special building, not to mention your contributions to computers, steel metallurgy, and agronomy."

"And your contribution to foreign trade. The things you invented have contributed so much foreign exchange to our country!"

"Don't worry. You are welcome to live here. If anyone dares to gossip about it, we would like to ask him what his achievements and contributions are."

……

Even Wang Shoujue, Huang Xinhua, Wu Youxiang and others, after recovering from their shock, asked Li Mu to accept the reward with confidence.

Hearing these words, Leader Qiu laughed and said, "See, everyone thinks you are qualified, so just keep it."

Li Mu looked at the expectant eyes of the people around him, and finally nodded, saying solemnly: "Thank you to the country and the organization for the reward and recognition!"

"I will definitely work harder and make more contributions to the motherland!"

"I also hope that everyone can continue to help me in future research and work together towards the great rejuvenation of the Great Xia nation!"

When the words fell, the audience burst into applause.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Mu. Through his determined gaze, they seemed to see the day when the Xia Kingdom would prosper.

……

In the afternoon, Li Mu and Wang Ya were both given a day off.

The two went home first and talked about the wedding house.

It turned out that the two families planned to live in Li Mu's house first and then move out after they got a house.

Now that we have been allocated a house in advance, the things prepared in the bridal chamber also need to be moved there.

……

Pushing a small cart, Li Mu and Wang Ya, as well as the family members of both sides, came to the front of the special building.

Seeing the guard at the door, Grandma Li, Li Jun and others were all surprised, especially Wang Ya's mother, who was so shocked that she was speechless.

After the inspection, everyone was allowed to go inside.

The house Li Mu was assigned was in Building 14, the same building as Master Qian Wu's, but on the third floor.

Using the key obtained from Guo Mo to open the door, a group of people filed in.

Looking at the spacious room, Li Lan and Li Yu ran around excitedly.

Although the slum is not bad, each household has only enough space to live in. There is no room as big as this one with wooden floors.

As a residential building built to house high-level intellectuals, the area of ​​each household in the special building is basically around 100 square meters, and there are separate bathrooms for dry and wet areas.

This condition would be very good even in later times, let alone now, it can be called a mansion among mansions.

Everyone first moved the things up from downstairs. The guard at the door saw it and came over to help. Everything was done in a short while.

Grandma Li and Wang Juanhong walked around the room, directing Li Jun and Li Mu to arrange all the things they had moved in.

It was almost evening when we finally finished cleaning up.

Looking at the newly decorated house, Grandma Li's face was full of joy, but there was also a hint of loneliness.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and said, "Grandma, why don't you move here too? The place is big enough, and there's Aunt Wang, so you can move in too."

"No, why should I, an old woman, interfere in your life as a young couple?" Grandma Li shook her head without even thinking.

Wang Ya's mother also smiled and said:
"Just live your life well, young couple. We won't get involved."

"We don't even know anyone here, and you're so busy with work that you don't see anyone all day long."

"We have to be checked when we come in and out. We might as well stay in the compound and feel comfortable."

"Yes, what Wang Ya's mother said makes sense. Xiaomu, we won't live here." Grandma Li said with a smile.

She was happy that her eldest grandson was thinking about her, and that was enough.

But after she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "But if you have children in the future, your aunt and I can come over to take care of them."

"You guys take care of your own things, and leave the child to us."

……

Grandma Li couldn't help but chattering again.

Wang Ya, who was standing by, couldn't help but blush, but Li Mu remained calm and collected.

After the packaging technology was solved, distributed projection lithography machines soon began to be mass-produced in factories.

While the output of semiconductor products such as programmable digital switches, electronic watches, and tape recorders has been greatly increased, the cost has been reduced again.

It can be said that Xiaguo's semiconductor industry has laid a good foundation.

But this has nothing to do with Li Mu for now.

Because, today he got married.

……

In front of Kyoto National Hotel.

This building, one of the ten major buildings built to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, is hung with red silk.

Bicycles kept coming from afar, and from time to time you could see a few cars stopping at the door, and leaders in Zhongshan suits walked out.

Although the number of people Li Mu invited was small, they covered the fields of semiconductors, steel metallurgy, and agronomy.

There were also leaders and old acquaintances from all parties. Together, the entire Kyoto National Hotel was filled to capacity to accommodate the guests.

Such a large scale event is bound to attract attention.

Tight security directly blocked the surrounding streets, and anyone entering or leaving would be strictly scrutinized to ensure the normal progress of the wedding.

……

Li Mu and Wang Ya, dressed in new clothes, stood at the door of the hotel to welcome the guests. They looked like a perfect match made in heaven, making the guests who came to congratulate them envious.

Zhang Kai, Li Jian and Shao Yanan knew that today was a big event for them, so they came early to help.

Originally the three of them were planning to tease the two at the wedding, but when they started being checked by the guards, they all lowered their heads like quails and didn't say a word when poked.

Except for the two little girls Li Lan and Li Yu who were running around everywhere, they were the only three youngest people in the venue. The others were either directors, deans, professors or experts, and their titles were more impressive than each other.

Until now, they have only vaguely realized how amazing Li Mu's achievements are.

There are still many people who can hold their wedding at the Kyoto National Hotel.

But for so many people from academia and politics to come to congratulate a wedding, the influence behind it is simply terrifyingly great.

"We were classmates just a few months ago!" The three of them sighed in their hearts, and after congratulating each other, they hurried to sit down at Li Lan and Li Yu's table.

Li Mu was in a state of confusion between laughter and tears.

Just as I was about to go over to tell them to relax, I suddenly saw a car pass through the guards' inspection and slowly drive to the hotel entrance.

Leader Qiu, Guo Mo, and Gu Zheng got out of the car together. When they saw the two, they all smiled and congratulated them:
"Not bad, not bad. The groom is very handsome today, and the bride is pretty too. They are a perfect match!" "Haha, I wish you a happy marriage! We have finally been looking forward to your marriage. Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to worry about your health every day."

"Yes, Comrade Wang Ya, you don't understand. Li Mu even neglected his health for his research. You have to take good care of him in the future!"

……

While congratulating him, several people made fun of Li Mu for not taking care of his body in the past because of his research.

During that time, they were really afraid that something might go wrong and cause the country to lose a top talent in the field of scientific research.

They could defend against the enemy spies, but Li Mu insisted on learning secretly, so they couldn't defend against him.

I secretly studied in the staff dormitory of Beijing Institute of Technology. Do they really think they don’t know? They just don’t expose it.

At least they can still keep an eye on that place, but some places are impossible to watch.

For example, as Guan Jianmin said, Li Mu often takes a break, and then suddenly gets up, picks up his notes and starts writing. He is doing research and learning in his head. How can he restrict him?

But now, someone is in charge, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After listening to the teasing and complaining of the crowd, Wang Ya looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, leaders, I will take good care of his health."

"Actually, I'm in good health, there's no need..." Li Mu spoke weakly, but before he finished speaking, he met Wang Ya's gaze.

——Are you in good health?
He swallowed the words subconsciously.

No, he has nothing to feel guilty about, what he said is the truth, the truth!
"Haha, that's good, finally someone can cure you, the 'research maniac' and 'learning maniac'." When Leader Qiu saw the two of them, he exchanged a glance with Guo Mo, Gu Zheng, Dong Huaxing and others on his left and right, and they all laughed.

……

The time came to noon.

The number of guests who came to attend the wedding far exceeded expectations, filling the entire Kyoto National Hotel to capacity, and even exceeded expectations by a lot, so several tables were added.

With the arrival of senior leaders such as Qiu, Guo Mo, and Dong Huaxing, the wedding atmosphere became much more lively.

But the wedding hasn't started yet.

A group of senior leaders gathered together, obviously waiting for something.

But it's just a wedding. Even if Li Mu's achievements and contributions are outstanding, it's already impressive that so many people came. It's impossible for all the people mentioned above to come.

Just when everyone was in doubt, suddenly, warm cheers broke out outside the door.

The people in the hotel were wondering who could make such a big noise when they heard loud shouts coming from outside:

"Leader, it's leadership!"

"The leader is here!"

"Hello, leader, hello, thank you for your hard work!"

……

The moment they heard those three words, everyone stood up from their seats at the same time, their eyes focused on the door.

impossible?

It is unheard of since the founding of the People's Republic of China that a senior leader would attend a young person's wedding!

But the cheers of the crowd could not be faked, and the cheers of Leader Qiu and others who stood up in unison to greet them could not be faked either!

Li Mu and Wang Ya, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, looked at each other, suppressed their excitement, and walked in the direction of their superiors.

Before they could squeeze through the crowd, a path opened up in front of them.

The superior leader greeted the people around him cordially while slowly walking towards Li Mu and Wang Ya.

Until he walked in front of them, looking at the two people wearing new clothes and big red flowers on their chests, his face was full of smiles, and he said:

"Not bad, not bad, you two finally achieved your goal."

"Come here, this is the wedding gift that Leader Yuan and I prepared for you."

"I wish you a happy and harmonious marriage. Use these two pens and these two notebooks to write about your happy life and the rise of our country's scientific and technological development!"

As he spoke, the superior took two notebooks from Secretary Song behind him and handed them to the two of them, his eyes full of anticipation.

As he spoke, the crowd fell silent.

When they heard that their superiors and Yuan and leaders had sent Li Mu and Wang Ya wedding gifts and placed such high hopes on them, everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

With one person's pen, he wrote the story of the rise of Xia Kingdom's scientific and technological development. This shows such great trust and expectation!
In today's scientific community of Xia State, no one has received such evaluation from their superiors.

I can’t say there will be no one better than him, but it is definitely unprecedented!

"Thank you. We believe that with so many scientists who are dedicated to the country and selflessly conducting research, that day will definitely come true!" Li Mu and Wang Ya looked at each other and answered firmly.

The rise of Xia's scientific and technological development has never relied on just one person or a group of people, but on the thousands and thousands of scientific researchers who have worked hard and burned their lives on research for the sake of the motherland's strength!
……

The superior leader did not stay too long. After witnessing Li Mu's wedding, he left a blessing in the words "live in harmony with each other and grow old together" and left soon.

Soon after, Guo Mo, Leader Qiu, Gu Zheng, Dong Huaxing and others presented their gifts and left one after another.

All of them are leaders of important departments and are very busy, so they certainly cannot stay for long.

But their departure did not make the wedding dull, but made it even more lively.

The superior leader personally witnessed the wedding and wrote an inscription to express his blessing. This was such a great honor and importance that they would talk about it for a long time.

……

It was not until the evening that the guests attending the wedding gradually dispersed.

After seeing people off at the hotel entrance, Li Mu and Wang Ya were about to go back to find Grandma Li and the others when they saw Guan Jianmin, Zhao Canjun, Zhang Kai, Li Jian and the others carrying large and small bags of things out.

These were things sent by Guo Moqiu and others, including bowls, chopsticks, cabinets, spatulas...mostly things we use in daily life.

Although it is not expensive, the thought is priceless.

Li Mu asked Wang Ya to go find Grandma Li and others first, while he went forward to lend a hand and help move the things over.

Fortunately, the special building was not far from here, so we moved there quickly.

After drinking a cup of tea, everyone knew that the young couple was newly married, so they didn't stay long and soon said goodbye and left.

Soon, Li Mu and Wang Ya were the only ones left in the empty room.

……

After seeing everyone off, Li Mu returned to the room and sat down on the sofa.

The two red candles on the table were burning quietly, making crackling sounds from time to time. That was the sound made by the impurities in the candles being burned.

"No, why am I thinking about this?" He cursed in his heart and couldn't help but secretly glance at Wang Ya next to him with the corner of his eyes.

She lowered her head, her fair face flushed. She seemed to notice Li Mu's gaze and her body trembled slightly.
