Seeing that it was indeed getting late, the two reluctantly picked up the books they had chosen and followed Jiang Mianmian out of the store.
When they were checking out, Tian Wei suddenly exclaimed upon seeing the title of the book in Jiang Mianmian’s hand, "Hey, Jiang Mianmian, you bought a book about solar energy?"
With a calm face, Jiang Mianmian nodded, "Yes, I want to study solar energy technology."
"I want to buy one too!"
Zhong Yuan and Tian Wei exchanged glances, asked Jiang Mianmian where she found the book, and ran off to buy two books on solar energy.
They also planned to buy a few books to see just how complicated solar power generation technology was.
In the end, all the kids returned home with their hands full.
The driver dropped off each of the kids at their respective homes, politely declined Jiang Mianmian’s invitation to stay for dinner, nodded to Yu Cheng, and then left.
By the time they returned, Su Wanting had already prepared dinner at home.
The moment Jiang Mianmian entered the house, she smelled the fragrant aroma of food.
"Wow, it smells so good! Mom, what delicious food did you make this time?" Jiang Mianmian entered the house and immediately called out crisply toward the kitchen.
"Of course, it’s your favorite shrimp, and also Yu Cheng’s favorite braised fish," Su Wanyu said, walking out of the kitchen.
"Wow, that’s awesome, Mom, you’re the best." Hearing that her favorite dish was prepared, Jiang Mianmian said happily.
"That’s right, I am the best mom in the world, otherwise how could I have raised such an outstanding daughter?" Su Wanyu boasted gleefully.
Jiang Changhai was beaming with pride, "My daughter, you really made us proud today. Have you seen today’s newspaper? The lithium-ion battery you created made it into the papers!"
He was overjoyed when he saw the news in the newspaper that day. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI★Fire.net
Especially hearing his coworkers discussing how amazing it was for a scientist to have developed a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, he felt an incredible sense of pride.
If it weren’t for concern about his daughter’s safety, he would have loved nothing more than to rush to the factory’s broadcast room and loudly announce to everyone that his daughter was the one who invented that lithium-ion battery!
His daughter was a budding scientist!
Su Wanyu was also informed of this development by the government. So, as soon as she finished work, she and Jiang Changhai went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and bought a lot of groceries, preparing a sumptuous dinner as a reward for their daughter.
"Hehe, it’s all thanks to your and Mom’s nurturing," Jiang Mianmian said modestly.
She wasn’t as excited as her parents. When she first found out, she was indeed thrilled and excited.
But whenever she thought of the American couple with sunglasses talking about America’s solar power stations, she felt that she couldn’t dwell on past achievements. She needed to keep striving forward, looking ahead, and contributing even more to her country.
Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu were extremely pleased to be sweet-talked by their daughter.
Yu Cheng, seeing how jovial everyone was, felt that his decision to not tell them earlier was right. After all, it was more delightful for them to find out from the newspaper themselves.
"My daughter, Yu Cheng, how was it? Was the zoo fun?" Jiang Changhai asked with a curious and caring tone. He had never been to the zoo before.
"It was so much fun; we had a really great time. We should all go together when we have the chance. Look, I even brought back gifts for you all—ceramic pandas. I bought several", and these three, one for each of us, and the rest for Grandma and Grandpa."
As she spoke, Jiang Mianmian took out the little pandas from her backpack, picked two larger ones and a smaller one, and placed the rest on the coffee table.
