Chapter 692 Chapter 691 Cutting off the root of troubles
"Okay, dinner will be served soon, I won't delay you from buying food. Let's think about it, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Not only does it require extracurricular time, but there is no subsidy. I can accept it whether you participate or not." Tang Zhitong calmed the situation, looked at the time, and left after he finished speaking.

The food supply is tight now. Although the canteen provides dry food per person for each meal, there are coarse grains and fine grains. The canteen is also supplying lotus berries today.

After a few days of reminiscing about the good old days, the students were all full and wished they could eat steamed rice every day, as long as it wasn't mixed with corn cobs.

The cafeteria listened to the students' opinions to a limited extent and added a little bit of fine grains while supplying lotus berries. If you go late, the fine grains will be gone.

As for Tao Yingjie behind him, what does it have to do with him whether he is embarrassed or not?

As soon as Tang Zhitong left, none of the students in Group 3 cared about Tao Yingjie. They suppressed their desire to work in Beijing and discussed the possibility of arranging a job for him as Tang Zhitong said: "Hey, do you think what Comrade Tang Zhitong said is reliable?"

"Take out that 'ma'. Didn't you hear his titles? Good fellow, I always thought he was only received, but I didn't expect he had such a glorious past."

"How can you be received without any talent? He is really talented and knowledgeable."

"So it's reliable? Then why don't we participate?"

"You can participate, but everyone must rely on real talent and knowledge, and not take shortcuts." Bi Bin was also very tempted, because that was a job opportunity to stay in Beijing!

Bi Bin is facing graduation, and everyone's whereabouts remain undecided. Although everyone can be assigned, there are huge differences between assignments.

Although everyone is studying in Beijing, it is impossible for everyone to stay there. Only a few students can stay, and the others have to go to local areas. This is an unspoken fact.

After living in Sijiucheng for several years, everyone has seen the treatment, supplies, and prosperity of Sijiucheng. Who would be willing to go to the county towns below?
Bi Bin heard that the college was also having a headache about the assignment of graduates. There were only a few jobs in the city, but the local areas were clamoring for people, and every student wanted to stay in the city.

There are certainly people who have their own style, but how many of them are there? Someone has to obey the overall situation.

How to reconcile the contradictions here? How to appease students who have objections? These are all problems.

Bi Bin not only knew that the scientific research class could increase the number of positions, but also knew that the scientific research class was based on merit. The military would recruit the best students based on their performance in the scientific research class.

Seeing the heated discussion in Group 3, the other two groups were also quite excited. The members of Group 2 asked Shi Zhengze directly: "Team leader, can we participate in the project that Comrade Tang Zhitong mentioned?"

"This... I'll ask him next time I meet him." Shi Zhengze was unsure about this question. He was not familiar with Tang Zhitong. They only met after they formed a team and they had hardly spoken to each other. However, he planned to bring Bi Bin along to exchange some feelings and let Bi Bin help out. He and Bi Bin were old acquaintances and they had a good relationship.

The students in Group 1 were not so lucky. They wanted to ask, but were too embarrassed to do so because of Tao Yingjie's gloomy face. They were even more embarrassed to discuss directly. They could only communicate with their eye contact and planned to talk after avoiding Tao Yingjie's sight.

Tao Yingjie was sulking at the moment. He felt his face being rubbed against the ground by Tang Zhitong, and it was shattered all over the floor, and he couldn't even pick it up.

Not only did no one in the group come out to comfort Tao Yingjie, some even felt that their team leader was meddling too much. If they didn't pick on Tang Zhitong, perhaps they could have been involved in Tang Zhitong's project and had a chance to stay in Beijing.

The second and third groups were in a state of anxiety, but Tang Zhitong just flicked his sleeves and walked away in a leisurely manner.

When he was working like a slave, Tang Zhitong ate too much pie from the capitalists, but drawings are just drawings after all, and eating too much can cause indigestion, so later he just lay down and didn't care about anyone!
Now it is his turn to make promises to his classmates in the scientific research class, but Tang Zhitong has a conscience and wants to put this promise into practice.

He certainly couldn't arrange for all the students participating in the project, but he still had to fight for one or two places.

Tang Zhitong did not go home, but went to the Women's Federation dormitory first. Although he promised the job in front of his classmates in the scientific research class, he was not confident enough and had to talk to his mother-in-law.

"This is your first time to undertake a project independently. This project must be completed and must be completed! As long as you have some results, work will not be a problem." After listening to Tang Zhitong's narration, Ye Zhijuan said immediately without any hesitation.

Others may not know, but Ye Zhijuan knows very well that after a virtuous cycle of foreign exchange earnings is formed, Tang Zhitong can arrange for eight or ten jobs for the students participating in the project, let alone one or two.

Ye Zhijuan understood that Tang Zhitong did not have much selfish motives. She had asked him the same question before, and his answer was that he had no one to arrange for, which was a good thing.

"Then I feel relieved." With Ye Zhijuan's affirmation, Tang Zhitong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Zhitong did not discuss the work with anyone in advance. On the way here, he had prepared a draft to convince Ye Zhijuan: After the incubator is invented, someone has to cooperate with the manufacturer in debugging and production, and the hospital also has to have someone to maintain it. These are all positions, so it is better to find experienced people than novices.

He even made the worst plan. If the incubator project could not be arranged, Tang Zhitong felt that with his current interpersonal relationships and social status, it was still possible to get a job, but the price would be a bit high.

Now, all you have to do is move forward bravely!
"Just go ahead and do your job with peace of mind. I'll take care of the rear-end support. Your Aunt Li cares a lot about your project. Today, not only did she agree to write you a letter, she also asked me to apply for a sum of money from the Women's Federation for your project funding. Come over again tomorrow and take the letter and the money. Don't forget to send the receipt back for accounting." Ye Zhijuan happened to be informing her son-in-law about the progress on her side, and Tang Zhitong's visit saved her the trouble of making another phone call.

"Okay, thanks Mom. Please rest assured Aunt Li, I will definitely make a name for myself this time!" The support from the Women's Federation was unprecedented. Tang Zhitong was greatly encouraged and signed a military order.

"Well, I trust you. Do you want to eat here?" Ye Zhijuan asked, nodding with a smile.

"No, I had dinner at Uncle Luo's last night and got home a little late. Wenwen was worried, so I'd better go back." Tang Zhitong stood up quickly and prepared to go back.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, shall we go fishing again the day after tomorrow?" Wang Jingmin asked impatiently when he saw that the serious business was finished. He had tasted meat last Sunday, and it had been five days. He missed it very much and wished he could catch a basket of fish and sleep with it in his arms.

"I'm afraid not. I have a report the day after tomorrow." Tang Zhitong shook his head. Although Teacher Zhou had compressed and adjusted the report and avoided absences to the greatest extent, sacrificing rest time was inevitable.

"Oh. Then can you give the slingshot back to me? I saw pigeons after school today. If I had a slingshot at that time, I would have definitely been able to shoot them!" Wang Jingmin felt heartbroken when he thought of the pigeons today, as if the pigeons stewed in his pot had grown feathers and flew away as soon as he opened the lid of the pot.

"Wait a little longer. I'll give it back to you when I catch a pheasant or something to satisfy my hunger." Tang Zhitong looked at his brother-in-law's small body like a bean sprout and didn't believe that he could shoot a pigeon. He would be lucky if he could pull the slingshot halfway.

"Well... okay." Wang Jingmin was somewhat reluctant, but when he thought that he would be able to taste it after his brother-in-law beat him, he felt relieved.

Tang Zhitong came here quite often, and being here was almost like being at home. Ye Zhijuan did not see him off, and went into the kitchen when her son was pestering her son-in-law. Instead, Jingying got up and saw him off to the door: "Jingying, have you been quiet on your way to and from school recently? Did you encounter any trouble?" "No, everything is fine. Several of us classmates are walking together now, and we have quite a presence, so no one dares to have any bad intentions." Jingying smiled peacefully and said to her brother-in-law.

"Well, that's good. You can mobilize the classmates. Keep it up." Tang Zhitong himself had not thought of this idea. After hearing it, he looked at his sister-in-law with admiration, thinking that she was a good candidate for organizational work.

When Tang Zhitong arrived at the intersection of Flower Market Street, the last ray of sunlight from the west passed over the signboards of the street shops, and the street lights flashed twice and lit up.

The grain store and grocery store had all closed, but the lights in the barber shop were still on, and customers came in and out from time to time.

Barbers are one of the "eight major groups". As a group that makes a living by their skills, although they were not considered presentable before, now that they have entered a state-owned barber shop, they have become more proud.

Supply is limited right now, and although some factories have begun to reduce staff, barbers are not affected.

Given the large number of residents in Beijing, besides food and drink, haircut is also a rigid demand. No matter how the situation develops in the future, people still need haircuts. As long as they are down-to-earth, barbers will always have a job to do.

After arriving home, Tang Zhitong hurriedly ate a meal and went into the side room to work.

The imperial sword will be in my hands soon, and I will have to make a work arrangement, project schedule and the like, so as to avoid being caught in a mess.

Seeing that her husband was busy, Xiao Wang didn't say anything. She quietly poured him a glass of water and sat aside to read a book.

"You're right. I received a letter from Brother Yang today. My sister-in-law wants to participate, but Brother Yang is a little worried about the child." Tang Zhitong made an outline, picked up the water cup, took two sips, and said.

"What should we do then?" Student Xiao Wang put down the book, clipped the bookmark to the place where he was reading, closed it, and asked.

"It's easy. Sister-in-law doesn't have to go to the hospital every day. She can check the case or consult colleagues in a few days. I will write back to Brother Yang and let sister-in-law arrange her own time." Tang Zhitong took a look at Xiao Wang's bookmark. It was very unique. It was the candy wrapper left over from the White Rabbit candy.

"That's good. It won't cause any trouble for them." After hearing this, Xiao Wang nodded and approved of this arrangement.

"We have to thank our mom for this..." Tang Zhitong was just talking to classmate Xiao Wang about Ye Zhijuan's contribution to the project. Beibei squeezed in through the crack in the door and rubbed against Tang Zhitong's feet, meowing and rubbing, as if reminding him that he should make up for the dried fish he owed yesterday.

"Wait, I'll throw Beibei out first." Tang Zhitong was annoyed by Beibei, so he grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up.

When he got outside, Tang Zhitong put two small fish on the ground, and then put Beibei next to them. The world finally became quiet.

When returning to the room, Tang Zhitong closed the door to prevent Beibei from coming in again.

Tang Zhitong walked to the wash basin and complained while washing his hands: "Beibei's fur has started to shed, and my hands are covered with fur."

"Every cat sheds its fur, so just don't touch them anymore in the future." Xiao Wang said with a smile.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but you touch it a lot. Hey, how about making a comb for Beibei?" Tang Zhitong has always wanted to develop the overseas pet supplies market, but it is difficult to find out whether foreigners have cats or dogs.

But now it's possible. Being received is such a big thing, I have to make good use of it.

To invent under the order of the emperor, one must conduct research if one wants to invent. Now that one has a legitimate reason, one can conduct research with justification and confidence!
He encourages me to invent! What? Who dares to stop me from asking about the living conditions of people abroad?
"Making a comb for a cat? A waste of money." Student Xiao Wang rolled his eyes at Tang Zhitong. Nowadays, many families share one comb, but her husband was thinking of making one for the cat, which was definitely the behavior of a waste of money.

"Hey, what if this thing can earn foreign exchange? Don't talk for now, I've got an inspiration, let me draw the design." The excuse has been thought of, and the opportunity has come, so I have to seize it. Tang Zhitong did it as soon as he said it, picked up the pen and paper, and wrote as if he was possessed by god.

Combs don't necessarily have to be made of plastic. In order to save costs, it's best to use wood. It's low-cost, so the selling price won't be that high, and you won't feel bad about replacing it if it breaks.

There are many kinds of pet combs, and the combs used will be different depending on the type of hair. Tang Zhitong only drew one style and planned to invent (copy) it later based on the results of the investigation.

As for who to find to investigate, Tang Zhitong set his sights on Miao Xiaoqin. Firstly, she knew the history of his inventions. Secondly, she was transferred from the foreign trade department to the Women's Federation. She was familiar with the people there, making the investigation easier.

"It's almost done. I'll make one later and we can try it out ourselves. At the same time, I'll ask Sister Xiaoqin to find out if there is a demand for this thing outside." Tang Zhitong handed the finished drawing to Xiao Wang and stretched himself. He had a full workload these days and was obviously tired.

"Then you have to discuss this with Sister Xiaoqin." Student Xiao Wang looked at the comb on the drawing that looked like a rake and was unsure whether it was useful or not. Since it involved earning foreign exchange, she couldn't object.

"Well, go to sleep. You're sleepy." Tang Zhitong yawned and suggested.

Beibei didn't know that Tang Zhitong had invented an invention in the name of combing his hair, and he started meowing outside again, perhaps because he felt that the fish Tang Zhitong gave him today was not enough.

"Beibei will start moaning in two months, right?" Tang Zhitong did not go out again. He sat on the bed and took off his clothes, letting Beibei moan outside. After a while, he turned off the lights, and Beibei stopped moaning when he saw that everyone was asleep.

"It won't happen so fast. We have to wait until autumn at least." Xiao Wang thought about Beibei's age and said.

"The sound of a cat in heat is a bit creepy. How about we perform a small operation on Beibei?" Beibei is still young. The sound outside the door is different from the sound of a cat in heat, so he can still tolerate it. But the sound of a cat in heat is different.

Tang Zhitong had heard the sound of a cat in heat, which was like the cry of a baby, and most of the time it happened in the middle of the night. It was so heartbreaking that it was hard not to feel creepy.

"Minor operation?" Student Wang was confused.

"Just give it a cut in the crotch, like slaughtering a pig, to cut off the root of its troubles." Tang Zhitong gestured in the air and was stunned. It seemed that he could do this by himself. He could just pull the cat or dog into the space, take out the related parts, and throw them out, and he would be done. He could even save on anesthetics.

Not only that, you can also pull out the teeth of mice, cut the mouths of mosquitoes, sterilize flies, and remove the hind legs of fleas. It's simply amazing, it's getting rid of pests for the people!
