Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan, gate.

Yang Xiaotao got out of the car, and Lao Tao followed him.

"Old Taoist, I'll come home for dinner later."

"Okay, don't make it too spicy, I've been getting angry lately."

The old Taoist said critically, but Yang Xiaotao did not dare to say more.

There was no other way, so Yang Xiaotao became the hands-off shopkeeper and left all the rest to the old man.

When asking for help from someone, you naturally have to be humble.

What's more, the veteran is not just coping with the problem. With his organizational skills honed in the northwest, leading a few interns to do something is just a piece of cake.

Now, they have made a work plan, and their main task in the near future is to study. They have learned about several domestic factories that can refine tungsten metal, and have applied to study.

Now we're just waiting for approval from our superiors.

However, Yang Xiaotao estimated that it would be good if it was approved years ago. After all, those factories are not simple units, and the confidentiality level is so high that not everyone can enter.

Cough cough cough

As soon as Yang Xiaotao walked into the middle courtyard, he heard a coughing sound coming from the yard. He heard it, and it was coming from the aunt's house.

The old Taoist saw Yang Xiaotao stop at the back and looked at the eldest mother's house. "I caught a cold two days ago. There are several people in the yard."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "It's getting cold, so if you have nothing to do, make some ginger soup."

"Also pay attention to ventilation. In the past few years, influenza almost occurred in the hospital, so be careful."

The old Taoist nodded, and the two of them went back to their respective homes. Soon the old Taoist came to Yang Xiaotao's house carrying a cigarette bag and a pot, ready to open a room.

Jia family.

Jia Zhang looked at the steamed buns and radish buns on the table, smacked her lips twice, and glanced at Qin Huairu who was eating the steamed buns one bite at a time. She wanted to say something in her heart, but she knew it would be useless.

I can only pick up the wowotou, at least fill my stomach first.

On the side, Qin Huairu slowly ate the steamed buns, complaining in her heart.

It would be great if the old woman wasn't at home.

With the money she had, she could also buy some things to supplement her children's needs.

It's not like now, even though I have money, I don't dare to spend it, and I still have to eat cornbread with me.

This day has been frustrating.

It would be great if Silly Zhu were here.

It's a shield after all.

Qin Huairu thought to herself as she finished eating the steamed buns, then took out an egg from the pot and prepared to go out.

When Jia Zhang saw there were eggs in the pot, her eyes widened and she asked, "Huairu, why are you going?"

"Auntie is sick, I'm going to check on her."

"Look? What are you doing with the eggs? We don't have anything to eat at home, so you're giving them to an outsider. You're really bending your elbows. It's pity that my eldest grandson can't even eat eggs."

Jia Zhang stared at the eggs in Qin Huairu's hand, feeling even hungrier.

Even Banggeng stared at Qin Huairu with one eye wide open.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhang at all and went out without waiting for her to finish speaking.

"伱"

"You Qin Huairu, you eat and live in my Jia family, but you dare to be so unfilial to me, I"

Jia Zhang was about to drive you back to her hometown, but then she thought of something and quickly lowered her voice, "I would have driven you back to my hometown a long time ago."

By the end, it's almost inaudible.

The stickman next to me even asked, "Grandma, what did you say?"

"What are you talking about? Calling your mother ungrateful and white-eyed."

"Banggen, remember, your surname is Jia. When you grow up, you must respect your grandma. You must not be a white-eyed wolf like your mother."

Banggeng turned his head and looked outside the door, thinking of the dollar still hidden in his schoolbag. Now that he has money, should he honor his grandma?

This thought only appeared for a moment before Banggeng threw it to the ground, and turned to look at Jia Zhang, "But grandma, your surname is not Jia either."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she opened her mouth and was stunned.

After a while, Jia Zhang held her scalp and the pain became even worse.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?"

Cough cough cough

"Huairu, don't come in."

The aunt leaned on the quilt and saw Qin Huairu coming in, so she quickly spoke.

"My disease is contagious, and you have children at home, little ones, ahem, be careful."

The aunt said a few words, but her lungs felt uncomfortable, so she had to lie down.

Qin Huairu stood at the door, afraid of being infected. "Auntie, why don't you go to the hospital and take medicine like this? When will it be better?"

The aunt shook her head, "No, what are you spending the money on?"

"Take some medicine and you'll be fine."

Cough cough cough

"Auntie, stop talking and lie down quickly. I'll give you an egg. You can eat it while it's hot."

Qin Huairu said as she walked into the room, put the eggs on the table, and then took two steps back.

"Huairu, you, alas!"

Seeing Qin Huairu treat her like this, the aunt sighed with emotion, and tears flashed in her eyes.

She has never had a son or a daughter in her life, and what she thinks about most is that no one will take care of her when she gets old.

But Qin Huairu cared about her so much, but she lost one worry.

"It would be great if the pillar were here."

"You two are together, helping each other, ahem"

"I, right now, hope that Zhuzi will come back and be just like you, ahem, before."

The aunt sighed with emotion, and Qin Huairu's heart trembled after hearing this.

In order to survive, she is no longer the Qin Huairu she used to be.

But is Silly Pillar still the same Silly Pillar?

Thinking of Qin Jingru, thinking of the child who was almost raped by Sha Zhu, and thinking of Sha Zhu's neglect of him for the sake of his child.

That was Shazhu's betrayal of her.

Besides, now that Silly Zhu is gone, won’t Qin Huairu live a good life as usual?

In this Sijiu City, there is food and accommodation. Although there is a troublesome guy in the house, the most important thing she does not lack is time.

As long as she catches Liu Guangqi, or the next 'Liu Guangqi', she, Qin Huairu, can live comfortably.

As for the silly pillar, it is just a card.

"Auntie, you have a good rest, I'm going back first."

Qin Huairu said, bowed her head and left.

When walking home, I saw the lights on in Yang Xiaotao's house. His eyes stayed on the window for three seconds and then moved away.

Qin Huairu had long given up on Yang Xiaotao.

If you don't want to give up, it belongs to the hedgehog. If she touches it, it will bleed all over.

It's best to live in peace now.

Seventh Machinery Department, branch.

Test run control room.

Ran's father stood at the back of the crowd, watching the busy workers in front of him, manipulating the instruments from time to time. Although his expression was calm, the tension in his heart made his clenched palms start to sweat.

"Report to the director, the engine has been installed."

"Report, all ministries have completed their inspection."

"Report, all instruments are working normally."

As people kept coming to report the situation below, Ran's father reached out and looked at the time to distract his attention, and then looked up at the waiting people.

He knew that these people had checked it again and again, and some even went back to check it again just before leaving.

But no one knows how many times they have checked.

Father Ran glanced at the instruments and equipment, then nodded, "The test drive begins."

"yes!"

"Testing begins, engine starts."

Weng~~~

As a voice sounded on the large experimental table, people around him paid close attention to the data fed back by the instrument.

"10 seconds, data is normal."

Someone shouted from the side, and Ran's father clenched his hands again.

They conducted this experiment many times.

The previous experiment failed. The reason they found was that the vibration of the missile during flight caused the missile body to loosen, thus causing a disaster.

Later, there was an experimental bench, which allowed experiments on the ground to reduce losses.

But it is not that experiments can solve the problem. They still need to find the problem points and solve them one by one.

Especially the missiles being researched now are related to the future integration, so we cannot be careless.

"20 seconds, the power is normal and the data is normal."

When everyone heard this, they held their breath and concentrated.

It stands to reason that this kind of test should last ten minutes, but the fuel on site is limited, and it is impossible for them to do it like actual combat, so one minute is the limit of the test.

During this minute, they have to observe the impact of vibration on the collection projectile.

Ran's father looked at the continuously pressurized and trembling cartridge cases on the test bench, feeling sweaty in his heart.

Just when the staff shouted out thirty seconds, a red light suddenly flashed in front of an instrument.

"Director, there is an abnormality in position three, and the vibration is violent."

Ran's father hurried forward to check, but without waiting for him to ask, more red lights came on.

"Director, there are obvious fluctuations in area No. 2, and the instrument has detected looseness."

"Director, Area 5"

In an instant, there was shouting in the command room.

This scene appeared again.

Ran's father knew that this time, he failed again.

After a week of hard preparation, it failed again in less than half a minute.

The people in the room seemed to have lost their bones for a moment, and their stature became much shorter.

There were even a few female workers who had lowered their heads and wiped away tears.

They know that here, the instruments, equipment and materials consumed for each experiment are of high value.

Every time they fail, they waste national property.

A minute later, the engine stopped working, and on-site personnel came forward to check the situation, but Ran's father walked back to the office alone.

Failure is always inevitable.

Just like in the Northwest, when did you not find lessons from failures and experience from mistakes?

Didn’t you make your own mushroom eggs in the end?

He believes that as long as he persists, he will succeed one day.

Finding the materials from the previous failed experiments from the drawer, Ran's father lay down at the table and studied them carefully.

Bang bang

Just when Ran's father was frowning and his thoughts were wandering, there was a knock on the door.

The secretary came in from outside holding a document.

"Director, this is the experimental data for this time."

Under the light, Ran's father took the report handed over and looked at it carefully.

"Have you found all the problems?"

The secretary lowered his head, "All departments are investigating closely, but the abnormalities are the same as those in previous experiments."

In other words, I know the problem but cannot find a solution.

This is more uncomfortable than not knowing where the problem is.

Seeing Ran's father not speaking, the secretary thought of something and said hesitantly, "Director, comrades say privately that these trembling abnormalities have occurred before and are all within control."

After the secretary finished speaking, he looked anxious.

In fact, he had wanted to say this for a long time.

After all, judging from previous experiments, as long as the standards are slightly relaxed, these data are qualified.

But the director in front of him has raised the task standards to a whole new level since he took over the experimental task. There were no problems with the previous approach, but now, problems arise one after another.

Their Seventh Machinery Department is solving the problem and moving forward step by step.

Hearing what the secretary said, Ran's father sighed, "I understand the mood of comrades."

"But what we have to do is to be foolproof."

"You also know how important this combination experiment is."

"This is directly related to whether the mushroom eggs can exert their maximum deterrent effect."

"But our experiments cannot be like those of other countries."

"They can find an uninhabited island and fly from this island to that island. There will be no people anyway and it won't affect their lives. It doesn't matter if something happens."

"But what about us? Do we have this condition?"

After Ran's father finished speaking, the secretary's face turned red.

He knew that what Ran's father said was true.

This kind of thing is being tested in China. If it falls, it will be a mushroom cloud.

It's a disaster.

"Tell the comrades that this is not only our task, but also our mission."

"The mission requires us to not take any precautions here."

"We are sweating and crying now just to prevent bloodshed in the future."

"Just so that in the future, when the missiles are raised, those prying eyes can hold back the dirty thoughts in their hearts."
