Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Discovered a Stone Similar to the Space Device

Qiao Qingyu’s personnel file, no matter where she went, confirmed that she was a formal state cadre, which provided the opportunity for the agricultural base to be fully integrated into the Tenghai Research Base, establishing the Tenghai Agricultural Group.

This integration was to remain undivided at all costs.

While some enterprises consider their managing departments to be burdens, this freshly minted Agricultural Group was truly the backbone of Tenghai Research Base.

Very soon, the approval documents for the establishment of the Tenghai Agricultural Group were in place, naturally necessitating a complete leadership team and various subordinate departments.

On this occasion, Fang Xiaomei, Liu Chengwu, Wang Laogen, and a few others who were among the first to follow Qiao Qingyu finally became official employees.

The family apartments rose abruptly, now in the final stages of completion, and two new office buildings were built, one of which housed the office for the Agricultural Group on the second floor.

The offices in Zone 5 were then converted into a large warehouse.

The Agricultural Group was currently managed by Old Xie and Qiao Qingyu, but with Qiao Qingyu about to give birth, she was only serving as the deputy.

It was Liu Chengwu and Wang Laogen who were responsible for the agriculture.

Old Xie also reported to the higher-ups, requesting a batch of fresh graduates. Tenghai Research was a glittering trademark, so many agricultural school graduates and others from technical schools were eager to be assigned here, resulting in a swift assemblage of personnel.

Qiao Qingyu also adjusted her career path, focusing on agriculture, her main goal being to promote all viable seeds she had in hand. According to her current abilities, she did what she could, neither forcing herself too hard nor slacking off.

In the Agricultural Group, her earnings came from the laboratory markups and the state-regulated salary.

Additionally, Qiao Qingyu held a 20% share in Xichuan’s first wool mill, which was invested in by the Wu Family.

Qiao Qingyu also held a consultant position.

But with the seeds being well-reputed, however she managed them, she was making money.

Su Yunyao had given birth to a daughter, and Shen Haoze was overjoyed, always proudly talking about his baby girl.

Qiao Qingyu saw that the two seemed to be having a lively time.

As for herself, her preparations were nearly complete.

Ever since she became pregnant, Qiao Qingyu drank goat milk every day, which Wu Qianyun prepared with jasmine tea and almonds, giving it a rich and aromatic flavor.

Qiao Shengbao bought plenty of baby and children’s items from Nangang City. Because he didn’t have time to come over, he packed them in three large crates and had them mailed over through the post office.

Qiao Zhicai was the most anxious, but the family couldn’t do without him at home, so he made a lot of toys for children to bring over when Qiao Qingyu was due.

The Qiao Family sent a lot of lingzhi mushrooms, black fungus, and fresh rice through the mail.

In addition, there was fresh millet locally produced in Xichuan, numerous eggs collected from farmers’ homes, soft cotton fabric for making baby clothes and diapers...

Vegetables and fruits were in no short supply, the storeroom was filled to the brim in an instant.

As for meat, a batch of pigs from the Tenghai Agricultural Group’s breeding farm was ready for the market, and the canteen and logistics department slaughtered twenty pigs all at once.

A new refrigerator was added to the home, so any meat that couldn’t be eaten immediately could be stored in the fridge.

The refrigerator was domestically produced with excellent performance, but its production was too low. After Qiao Qingyu became pregnant, He Xiuyu also made an effort to secure one for their use.

All in all, Qiao Qingyu was in good health, and after a medical check-up at the hospital, her fetal position was correct, the fetus was developing normally, and the due date was in the next three to five days. Thus, He Xiuyu had delegated most of his work to his deputy Shen Haoze.

However, this didn’t mean he wasn’t going to work, just that he no longer worked overtime.

Even though the Tenghai Research Base had been divided into two parts, the establishment of the Agricultural Group actually led to further expansion.

The Agricultural Group now had a broad coverage, including the Seed Laboratory, grain warehouse, seedling base, vegetable base, breeding farm, and more...

Essentially, the Agricultural Group’s current work was to manage the daily meals of nearly ten thousand people at the Tenghai Research Base.

Therefore, even though Qiao Qingyu was now home preparing for childbirth, she would still visit her unit every day, but she could no longer ride in the jeep or drive her own tractor.

Yet each evening after dinner, as long as there was no thunderstorm or rain, He Xiuyu would leisurely wander alongside Qiao Qingyu, hand in hand, on their eastern road.

The environment now was vastly different from when they had begun the construction; back then, even in summer, some lands were barren and desolate, but now, except for the absence of tall trees, greenery was found everywhere.

He Xiuyu glanced at Qiao Qingyu’s complexion and then at her belly. The child was well-behaved, never giving Qiao Qingyu any trouble.

Qiao Qingyu only experienced nausea for a little over a week before resuming normal eating, and her nutrition was well-managed. Hence, Qiao Qingyu had not suffered much during her pregnancy.

Because of this, He Xiuyu felt that he would definitely be pleased with the child once he (she) was born.

Qiao Qingyu laughed when she heard He Xiuyu say this.

However, He Xiuyu then whispered something to Qiao Qingyu, "This afternoon, I happened to notice that the stone Yuan Hengzhi wears around his neck is somewhat similar to the stone on the Space Device."

Qiao Qingyu was stunned for a moment, "You just noticed? Haven’t you grown up with him since childhood?"

"Yuan Hengzhi and I indeed grew up together, but I never paid attention to the stone he wears around his neck. He has been wearing that stone since he was little."

"Did you take a good look? Is it the same in structure and composition as the stone on the outside of the Space Device?"

"I can’t tell that. You know Yuan Hengzhi is from military reconnaissance background. If something seems off, he’ll become suspicious."

"Oh, then never mind, since he’s been wearing it since childhood, it should be fine."

Indeed, this reasoning made sense because all the stones on the outside of the Space Device were of this type, and He Xiuyu had already conducted research and analysis, finding them harmless to the human body. Not only were they harmless, but they also had many benefits. Not to mention their composition, just the energy they emitted, which if described specifically, provided various elements needed by the human body.

"...I think you should still ask Yuan Hengzhi when you have time where that stone on his neck came from."

"I’ve asked. It was given to him by Old Man Yuan of the Yuan Family."

As for where Old Man Yuan got it from, that was unknown.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t necessarily need to know the answer, and their conversation soon drifted to Director Lin.

Han Lishi, accompanied by Han Liuya, returned to Xichuan. This time, instead of going to the village, they bought a small house in the county town. Money could now be used to buy and sell houses.

They bought a small courtyard on the outskirts of Yushu County, with two rooms suitable for the two of them. There was a yard in front of the house and a kitchen garden at the back.
