Chapter 1102 The Secret to Longevity
As soon as she stepped out of the laboratory, Professor Xie saw her husband, Liu Zhengtao.
My husband came home a few days ago because our youngest son, Liu Yibang, was getting married. He came back the night before and rushed back the next afternoon.
The closer it gets to the Lunar New Year, the busier the leaders are. Professor Xie quickened his pace and asked with a smile, "How come you have time to come back now?"
Liu Zhengtao replied, "I guess Meilan and Yibang won't be home for the Spring Festival this year, so I discussed it with Lao Zhang and Lao Zhao. They're on duty now, and I'll come back to reunite with everyone. I'll be on duty there during the Spring Festival!"
Professor Xie nodded. "Your arrangement is quite good! Let's go grocery shopping tonight and have a proper celebration!"
Liu Zhengtao handed over the flowers and milk tea, asking, "Do you like them?"
Professor Xie beamed and accepted the flowers and milk tea. "I love them! I didn't expect there to be such beautiful lilies on our island. Oh my, this milk tea is red bean flavored, which is my favorite!"
Upon hearing his wife's words, Liu Zhengtao couldn't help but smile. "Let me help you with your bag!"
Professor Xie handed over his bag, saying, "Thank you for your hard work!"
The two strolled along the sidewalk, which was covered with fallen leaves, chatting and laughing as they walked.
Liu Zhengtao recounted his conversation with Liu Meilan to his wife today, wanting to hear her opinion as well.
Professor Xie's eyes lit up. "Actually, I've been thinking about this issue recently too! I've observed that the health of the people on the island is far superior to that of other places! This time, I went to the town hospital's medical examination unit to carefully collect various data and discovered many interesting phenomena! I'm currently researching them!"
Liu Zhengtao was surprised, "Could it be that a groundbreaking phenomenon has been discovered?"
Professor Xie nodded, "Although immortality is impossible, longevity is what people pursue! The prerequisite for longevity is health; only with a healthy body can one live to old age. If the aging process is slowed down, one will naturally live longer!"
"This research topic is a bit taboo, even a bit fantastical, so I just kept it in mind and did it quietly without making a big fuss! Our old man, Dr. Wang, and people of all ages on the island are also my research subjects."
"But you know me, when I encounter something that interests me, I can't help but research it! As our country's economy develops and people's living standards improve, life expectancy will continue to increase. There will be a lot of demand in this area, so..."
Liu Zhengtao smiled and said, "Even if you don't do it, someone else will! We have elderly people in our family, and we hope they can live to be a hundred years old. What about the others? This is a trend, so go ahead and do your research. Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"
Professor Xie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her husband's encouragement. "That's good! I had some concerns before, always feeling that the research might not benefit the people on the island!"
Liu Zhengtao smiled and said, "Are you worried that because this place is so nice and suitable for recuperation, you won't let the people live here?"
Professor Xie nodded. "Yes! Actually, this place used to be a settlement for fishermen who fled here. Later, because the place was suitable for building military camps, they gradually took over the area!"
"Actually, I hope that the people can live and work in peace and contentment here, and that the military and civilians can live together as one family, rather than making this place belong to one person alone! If that happens, I will feel that I am letting down the people here."
Having lived on the island for so many years, Professor Xie has a very sincere and deep affection for Sihuang Island and also values the simple and honest feelings of the villagers here!
Liu Zhengtao smiled and said, "As long as the Liu family exists, this place will not change! Don't worry!"
Professor Xie smiled, "I'm relieved to hear that! Besides, I think Meilan really likes this place. Even when we close our eyes in the future, Meilan and the children she has carefully nurtured will protect Sihuang Island."
Liu Zhengtao successfully persuaded his wife, and instead of taking a car, they chose to walk home.
Along the way, Professor Xie and Liu Zhengtao greeted acquaintances warmly.
However, everyone was used to Professor Xie's elegant and beautiful demeanor, so when they suddenly saw Liu Zhengtao dressed so young and handsome, they almost didn't recognize him.
However, everyone trusts Professor Xie's character; the person she's holding hands with must be her husband, not some other man.
The students upstairs were all drooling with envy.
Zhao An'an blushed with excitement, "Oh my god, there really are such perfect couples in the world! I wish my future partner would be like that, not only with good taste, but also good looks and good character!"
Yang Bin chuckled and said, "Your expectations are a bit too high! But our teacher is good-looking, has good character, and is successful in his career. Outstanding talents in the new era can spark more ideas and ideas."
As Yang Bin spoke, he touched the top of his head, which had grown a lot of fine hair. He thanked his teacher for buying him hair growth cream, which saved his increasingly thinning hair. The difference between having hair and not having hair is like a 10-year age gap—it's too dramatic.
Zhao An'an exclaimed, "That's true! We girls should also be more self-disciplined and learn from our teacher!"
Wu Changhai smiled and said, "What you see is only the surface. What we should learn most from Professor Xie is his optimism, open-mindedness, and kindness! Even if our experimental research progresses slowly or even not at all, our teacher can face it calmly. He's always smiling, and his gentle smile is the most healing thing!"
Everyone agreed wholeheartedly, "Yes! An optimistic and positive attitude towards life is the most important thing!"
Zhao An'an said with a smile, "I used to be a bit stubborn and very serious! I was always on edge. But since I started working with Professor Xie, I've learned to balance work and rest. The process of doing experiments isn't so hard anymore; I actually enjoy it."
To become Professor Xie's graduate student, Zhao An'an is truly exceptional. However, her excellence is accompanied by a tenacious spirit; she strives relentlessly upwards, leaving no room for retreat. Her exceptional talent combined with her heightened sensitivity has shaped her strong-willed yet conflicted personality.
While teaching them knowledge, Professor Xie also cared for and guided them with a motherly heart.
Their lab often receives letters, mostly thank-you notes from former senior students who have moved to the institute, or technical discussions.
In short, Professor Xie is a very respected and warm figure in their hearts. They cherish the opportunity to learn from him, considering it a precious asset in their lives. After all, he not only provides financial and career support but also enriches their spirits, which is of utmost importance.
