Chapter 589 585. Wonderful Party
The New Year's Eve dinner is over.

The plates were removed and replaced with peanuts, melon seeds, snacks, fruits, tea and drinks.

The pecans, chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and dried mulberries that Luo Yihang brought were also put on the table.

Luo Yihang took advantage of the time when everyone was watching the news playing on the big screen behind the stage to send out his greetings to the new year.

He quickly grabbed a few dried mulberries and secretly fed them into Ding Rui's mouth.

I asked her expectantly if it tasted good.

Ding Rui rolled her eyes at Luo Yihang, chewed gently, her eyebrows curved, her smile sweet, her eyes looking forward.

Luo Yihang was already dazed and looked stupid.

Ding Rui patted him and pointed at the screen.

Luo Yihang then turned his head to look.

The seven o'clock news was mentioning the successful launch of the Shenzhou spacecraft, the manned space flight of the Tiangong space station, and the carrier rocket.

Finally, I wish all aerospace workers a happy New Year.

After the news was broadcast, the audience applauded warmly.

After the applause died down, the scene became lively and truly entered the mode of a New Year's Gala and tea party.

Luo Yihang asked Ding Rui again whether she liked dried mulberries.

Ding Rui nodded with a smile, reached out and grabbed a handful, stuffed a few into Luo Yihang's mouth, and threw the rest into her own mouth.

Actions speak louder than words...

"It's delicious, right? In the spring, I plan to clear a sunny slope and plant 20,000 mulberry trees. Then we'll have our own mulberries to eat in summer and autumn. We can also make wine with the extra ones."

Luo Yihang happily showed off to Ding Rui.

A grandmother nearby came over and joked, "Xiao Luo is so generous. Seeing that our Ruirui likes to eat mulberries, you planted 20,000 mulberry trees."

Ding Rui patted Luo Yihang and said, "No, he just wanted to plant it for himself, not for me."

Luo Yihang quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, I also have mountain land that I have leased, and it's not being used yet. Let's plant some fruit trees to avoid wasting it."

"I remember that the oranges there are very good. Why don't you grow oranges?" grandma asked again.

"If you eat too much of that, your face will turn yellow. Ruirui doesn't like it."

"Oh oh oh oh, the mulberries are planted for Ruirui..."

Finished.

Seeing that Ruirui liked mulberries, Xiao Luo decided to plant 20,000 mulberry trees for Ruirui when he got home. The news spread immediately throughout the table and then to other tables.

This attracted a group of young people to come and see the domineering boss and ask for his advice on chasing girls. No wonder he was able to chase the most beautiful girl in Aerospace City. He really knows how to do things.

Ding Rui smiled warmly on the surface, but her hand never left Luo Yihang's thigh under the table, pinching it hard.

Anyway, this guy has thick skin and doesn't feel the pain.

After the people dispersed.

Ding Rui gave Luo Yihang a look and understood it herself.

He leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You don't have to pay taxes on bragging. Are you satisfied?"

Luo Yihang shrugged, leaned over and whispered, "It's not my fault. I was just chatting. Who knew it would turn out like this after being spread a few times? Rumors can kill people."

"Now I've asked you to plant it. I don't care. It's all your fault."

Playing tricks is also fun.

What else can Luo Yihang do? Hurry up and comfort him.

He leaned close to Ding Rui's ear and sang softly: "I'm sorry, baby~~ It's not that I don't love you~~"

"Ah!" Ding Rui's face turned red. She picked up a walnut with the shell and stuffed it into Luo Yihang's mouth, quickly blocking his mouth.

Her eyebrows were raised, she glared fiercely, and complained in a low voice, "We were seen."

Luo Yihang spat out the walnut and muttered softly, "Who's watching..."

Well, a lot of people are peeking.

This table is full of them.

It's interesting to watch young people fall in love.

"Cough cough." Luo Yihang coughed twice and sat up straight.

Let’s stop doing those little things and just be sweet and happy until we get home and there’s no one around.
-
It's a tea party, just eat, drink and chat.

There are also performances to watch.

First, the veteran cadres choir came on stage and sang "The East is Red".

Then the dance team from the Logistics Department came on stage to perform the fan dance, and a leader sang a Peking Opera piece.

After a few shows.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Time's up, cut over."

Immediately, the big screen behind the stage switched to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Just as a program was ending, in the next segment, the astronauts on the space station sent New Year greetings to the people of the country.

Inside the space station, there are Spring Festival couplets hung, blessing characters posted, and red balloons.

The three astronauts sent their blessings in turn, wishing the motherland prosperity.

In just twenty seconds, Luo Yihang felt very excited.

But there was no reaction at the scene. Everyone was still laughing and chatting, some were even chatting about who got fat again; who had a different hairstyle and had a haircut; who had beautiful handwriting, which could be written even when floating.

Luo Yihang was very surprised and asked in a low voice: "Can a brush write in space? Isn't it said that NASA has spent billions of dollars researching space pens? Why does the Russian bear use pencils?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table laughed.

"NASA has never researched any space pens. They have used pencils from the beginning, but the refills are similar to those of crayons, and the debris that falls off is not conductive. As for brushes, writing uses the capillary principle, so of course they can be used in microgravity conditions."

A grandmother happily gave Luo Yihang a blind look and watched him look like he had never seen the world. It was quite interesting.

Most people have never seen the world on the space station.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the big screen, but no one went up to perform.

Luo Yihang thought that was the end of it.

Unexpectedly, a huge surprise is about to come.

Ten minutes later, the screen switched again.

The space station and three astronauts appeared again.

He was still talking to the party.

"Happy New Year everyone, what delicious food do you want to eat?"

"Is Director Zhang singing again this year? He always sings the same part every year."

Eh eh eh?
Luo Yihang was really shocked.

No wonder no one was so excited when it was on the news just now, it turns out there’s another part to it.

Direct connection, is that true?

A few children had already run over.

Shouting loudly for mom and dad.

Two of the astronauts on the screen came over and asked their mom/dad to check if they were attending class seriously, eating well, and doing their homework.
The two children answered loudly.

It is indeed true!

"Of course it's true." Ding Rui gave Luo Yihang a disdainful look, "I was giving lectures to elementary school students on the space station before. Don't you know?"

Luo Yihang nodded, then shook his head, "I watched the news. I thought it was recorded in advance, so I watched the video in class."

"Humph." Ding Rui pouted and said coquettishly, "You just don't care."

Her coquettishness attracted the teasing of the grandmothers again, "Xiao Luo, I can't speak for you on this. Men are just not careful. Old Chang and Ruirui participated in the design of Tianlian 05, which is the communication between the ground and the Tiangong. You don't even know this. It's really wrong."

what?
Luo Yihang finally understood the key point.

A little proud, a little self-blame, and a little regretful.

"Alas, my confidentiality level was raised too slowly, and I missed it completely."

In this regard, Luo Yihang did not blame anyone, but was very supportive.

Because this is the state's protection for scientific researchers.

For such an important scientific research project, if the identity of the key figures were known to outsiders at an inappropriate time and something unexpected happened, the losses would be immeasurable.

Before, when he was talking to Zhang Yue and the others, and also video chatting with his family, he was only at home and never mentioned Ding Rui's work at all. Luo Yihang was paying attention to it.

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone, including Ding Rui, finally realized, "That's right, don't blame Xiao Luo. Really don't blame Xiao Luo."

Ding Rui secretly held Luo Yihang's hand under the table, and said...

"It's because he doesn't have enough education and doesn't know anything."

Hey, why is there still discrimination based on academic qualifications?
