Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 697 Chapter 696 Got a set of casual clothes

While eating, no one talked.

Especially Bi Bin and Shi Zhengze, they had been eating lotus berries for a week at the Post and Telecommunications College, and now they loved steamed corn bread more than their own mothers, not to mention that it was half a pound of dry food with no increase in quantity!
Although the scientific research class has increased the ration, it will be implemented from next month. Now boys still have a ration of 32 kilograms per month, which is an average of one kilogram of food coupons per day. Who has ever eaten half a kilogram in one meal so luxuriously?
After the meal, Tang Zhitong forced three kilograms of Mantianfei food coupons to Huo Xiaoping and said, "Here, you all participated in the project with passion, and I can't give you more. Treating you to a celebratory meal for the establishment of the group will make me feel better."

"Okay, then I'll keep it. When we have results, I'll treat everyone to a celebration banquet! Everyone can eat to their heart's content then!" After hearing what Tang Zhitong said, Huo Xiaoping generously accepted it and expressed his opinion.

"Haha, do you know how many project team members there are in the Post and Telecommunications College? If you eat your fill, you can drink boiled water for a month." Tang Zhitong teased and promised, "We still have to have a celebration banquet, but you don't have to pay for food coupons. I will apply for them from the Women's Federation and ensure that everyone can eat their fill and have meat!"

Tang Zhitong has some experience on how to win people's hearts and minds with less money. Even if the food coupons and meat for the celebration banquet don't go through the Women's Federation, he can still afford it with the supplies he had stockpiled before.

Apart from using those supplies for our own use, we don't feel sorry at all for using them on such meaningful things.

With half a pound of dry food as a base, the team members were in high spirits and planned to continue discussing the research and development ideas of the thermal insulation box. Tang Zhitong did not participate this time.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. As someone who has seen project managers whip oxen and horses to copy code, Tang Zhitong knows that the biggest responsibility of a project leader is to integrate resources, assign tasks, boost morale, and inspect results.

"You guys discuss it first. I have to go to the hospital and communicate with them to ask them to provide data. We can't delay our research and development progress." Tang Zhitong said, and then he slipped away in a gorgeous manner.

The project progressed faster than Tang Zhitong expected. After leaving Beihang University, he did not go to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, but went straight to Wukesong, to Wu Haiyang's home.

With the letter of assistance from the Women's Federation and a group of college students and their teachers behind them, Tang Zhitong was not worried at all about the difficulty in developing the incubator. As long as there were parameters and clear requirements, a prototype would eventually be produced.

However, the prototype developed this time cannot certainly be compared with the incubator after the technology matures, but it is better to have it than not. It is a breakthrough from zero, and it is acceptable if the product style and function are slightly worse.

Walking south from Xueyuan Road, after passing the corner of the Post and Telecommunications College, the road name becomes Xueyuan West Road.

Xueyuan West Road consists of two parts, one is the extension of Xueyuan Road to the south, and the other is a road that turns straight west at the southernmost end.

Tang Zhitong rode his bicycle and chose a road with better conditions, heading west along the farmlands on both sides of the road.

There are busy members in the farmland, and many fields are planted with winter wheat.

Due to the recent drought, the tips of the wheat leaves have partially turned yellow.

At first glance, the wheat seedlings seemed to be of a decent size, giving Tang Zhitong a strange sense of vitality.

As a young man who came from the countryside and did farm work, Tang Zhitong sighed in his heart because the harvest of this land this year was worrying.

Drought is only one reason. Another reason is that the wheat seedlings in this farmland have obviously not been thinned.

It is difficult for wheat that has not been thinned to have a high yield even if it can get enough water and fertilizer in the later stage, because its root system is not well developed and it will fall over if there is a slightly strong wind.

However, the most important issue at the moment is irrigation. It has not rained in Sijiu City for a long time. If it continues like this, the wheat seedlings will die of drought before they are blown down.

When did artificial rainfall occur? Tang Zhitong was not sure, so he planned to go back and find out if there was a chance to do some artificial rainfall.

Everything has its order, and conflicts have their priorities. First, solve the drought problem, and then talk about the issue of wheat seedlings' resistance to lodging.

Wu Haiyang was a little surprised by Tang Zhitong's arrival: "Why are you here? Your sister-in-law urged me to call you tomorrow to arrange a time to meet up."

"Hey, today is Sunday, I'm free, come over and sit for a while, so as not to disturb my sister-in-law from taking care of the children." Tang Zhitong walked in happily, and as soon as he entered the room, he put down his things as if he was at home.

"Li Xian, Eucalyptus is here." Wu Haiyang turned around and called to the bedroom, then turned around and poured a glass of water for Tang Zhitong and put it on the table: "Sit down and drink some water."

"Thank you, Brother Yang. Is Xiaoguang asleep?" Tang Zhitong touched the outer wall of the water cup and found it a little hot, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​drinking water.

"He's awake. Is Xiao Wang okay?" Lu Lixian came out of the bedroom holding the child and asked.

"I'm fine. Come on, Xiaoguang, call me uncle." Tang Zhitong stood up, bent down, and stretched out his hand to hook Wu Hanguang's little face.

Wu Hanguang is still young and can’t speak, but he can laugh!

Faced with Tang Zhitong's teasing, a smile bloomed on Wu Hanguang's chubby round face. The smile made her eyes curved into crescents, which was so adorable that it melted people's hearts.

"Look at his appearance, he will definitely grow up to be as strong and powerful as Brother Yang, and he won't have any trouble finding a wife." Tang Zhitong praised.

"Thank you for your good wishes. Do you want a hug?" Lu Lixian saw the true love on Tang Zhitong's face, so she asked.

"Is it okay? Give me a hug." Tang Zhitong stretched out his arms without waiting for Lu Lixian to answer.

Tang Zhitong likes children of this age, or to be more precise, boys under three years old.

As the saying goes: one and two years old are our sweethearts, three and four years old are a little annoying, five and six years old are always causing trouble, and seven and eight years old are even disliked by dogs.

Boys can only be played with for a few years. When they grow up a little, they want to be thrown far away. Only grandparents still care about them.

"Your posture when holding the child is very standard." Lu Lixian really wanted Tang Zhitong to hold her son, but she thought about telling him how to hold the child before doing so. Unexpectedly, Tang Zhitong did not hesitate at all, and the movement of extending his hand was very standard and gentle, so she skipped this step.

"Hey, I took care of my sister when she was young, so I can be considered to have taken care of a child." Tang Zhitong laughed and patted Wu Hanguang's butt gently. Somehow, Lu Lixian didn't put a diaper on the child.

"Then it will be much easier when you have children. You can learn it directly, unlike your brother who has to teach you everything." Lu Lixian glanced at Wu Haiyang and said.

"How can it be the same? Brother Yang fought for the people, for the nation, and for the country. He risked his life and fought bloody battles. He sacrificed his small family for the sake of the big family. If Brother Yang stayed at home like me, he would definitely be a good parent. By then, you would be disgusted with him again." Tang Zhitong spoke well of him.

Wu Haiyang was a little embarrassed by Tang Zhitong's compliment. He waved to his younger brother and then said to his wife, "This is not a question of disdain or not. I'm afraid I have no chance to get to know you if I stay at home." "Silly boy, I just said that and you took it seriously?" Lu Lixian smiled and glanced at her husband. She was very pleased with the brothers' words.

Tang Zhitong pretended not to notice the couple's little romance and concentrated on amusing Wu Hanguang. The child not only had a tender face, but also had a milky scent on his body, which demonstrated what it meant to be still wet behind the ears.

"I have sorted out some information at home these two days. I have just discussed with your brother whether to send it to you or talk about it in person. You take Xiaoguang first and I will go get it." Lu Lixian did not forget the business. After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the bedroom. After a while, she came out with some sheets of letter paper.

As luck would have it, at this moment the smile disappeared from Wu Hanguang's face, he pouted and started crying.

"Did you pee? Did you pee?" Lu Lixian asked expectantly.

"No. Maybe he's hungry?" Tang Zhitong was also confused. He didn't pinch or chop the child. He was fine just now, but suddenly he started crying.

"I just ate. Come, give me the baby." Lu Lixian put down the letter in her hand, took the baby, and patted the baby while saying, "I deliberately didn't put a diaper on him, hoping that he would be a fertility boy."

"You still believe this?" Tang Zhitong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was a folk saying about the boy who brought children. If the boy urinated on the newlyweds, it meant that they would have a child soon. However, this kind of good luck was mostly used on brides. It was the first time that Tang Zhitong saw it used on men.

In any case, this was Lu Lixian's intention, and Tang Zhitong did not correct her.

"I just wanted to pray for good luck, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable." Perhaps Wu Hanguang felt familiar in his mother's arms, he hummed twice and then began to grin.

"Xiaoguang is a sensible person. He knew I didn't pee because I had no clothes to wear." Tang Zhitong smiled and said very tactfully.

"No clothes? No wonder you're only wearing work clothes. Your brother has a replacement military uniform. If you don't mind it being too old, I'll get you one later." Lu Lixian and Tang Zhitong didn't meet very often. She used to wear very frugal clothes on the construction site, and her clothes became better after she started working.

"Sister-in-law, I don't need clothes. I just got them dirty while working at the company yesterday." Tang Zhitong waved his hands when he saw that Lu Lixian misunderstood.

"You can try it later. It can be worn as casual clothes and should be able to fit you." Wu Haiyang looked at Tang Zhitong. Although the little brother was taller than him, he looked thinner.

"Really, there's no need. Xiao Wang asked me several times to make clothes for me, but I refused. I'm not particular about what I wear." Men's clothing is the responsibility of the women in the family. While explaining the whole story, Tang Zhitong also did not forget to explain for Xiao Wang, fearing that Wu Haiyang and his wife would misunderstand that Xiao Wang did not make clothes for them.

"You hold the baby first. I'll talk to Anzi about the incubator." Seeing that Tang Zhitong had even brought up his wife, Lu Lixian smoothly changed the subject.

Wu Haiyang took his son with a smile, went into the bedroom to put a diaper on his son, and left Dr. Lu and Tang Zhitong to discuss the invention.

Tang Zhitong was very serious. He took out his notebook and pen from his bag, and while listening to Dr. Lu's ideas, he took note of the key points. He circled those that could be achieved with current technology, and put a question mark behind those that were not yet possible.

After Lu Lixian finished expressing her ideas, Tang Zhitong also conveyed the group's ideas, including the ventilation volume, and the two exchanged views on the functions.

Lu Lixian was also unsure about the ventilation volume, so she said she would go to the office tomorrow to study it with her colleagues.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to take this letter of assistance, or should I go with you?" After discussing technical issues, Tang Zhitong took out the letter issued by the Women's Federation.

"I'll take it and use it for a while, and then I'll give it to you later." Lu Lixian took it, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong agreed readily. There is a difference between him taking the letter of assistance to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and Lu Lixian taking it too.

Lu Lixian took the letter of assistance to the leader of her unit. She could say that she had fought for the opportunity herself and the initiative was in her hands. Needless to say, she was the one who took the lead in this matter.

If I go to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital with the letter of assistance, even if the hospital leaders are very cooperative, they can assign other staff to cooperate with me, and it will not be my turn to specifically ask Lu Lixian to cooperate.

"Are you done talking?" At this moment, Wu Haiyang came out of the bedroom with a set of clothes in his hand.

"Well. Is the child asleep?" Lu Lixian asked.

"She has been asleep for a while. She was crying just now because she wanted to sleep." Wu Haiyang said, and handed the clothes to Tang Zhitong: "Eanzi, try it."

"Brother Yang, what are you doing? Are you trying to chase me away?" Tang Zhitong shook his head immediately after seeing his behavior.

"Don't be disgusted. I've only worn this uniform a few times. I just changed it out a while ago. If it weren't for the adjustments to the new uniforms and you had to wear it to work, I would have given you a new one." Wu Haiyang stuffed the clothes into Tang Zhitong's hands without giving him any time to explain.

"Euanzi, take it. You are a leader now, so you should pay attention to your image in your daily life." Lu Lixian also advised.

"Sister-in-law, brother, there are cloth coupons at home. If I want to wear it, just go and buy it." Tang Zhitong still kept refusing.

"I have some cloth coupons saved to make flowery dresses for me, Xiao Wang, and my sister, and you said you are not picky. Are you disgusted?" Lu Lixian was unhappy. Not to mention Tang Zhitong's help to her man, the fact that he was thinking about his own business while making the incubator this time was worth the clothes.

"Sister-in-law, how can I dislike it? It's just that this dress is too expensive. If any of your relatives here haven't found a partner yet, they can wear this dress and they will definitely be together." Although the clothes were folded and not opened, judging from the color, this dress was the same as the one he had seen in Chunshu Hutong.

Not to mention wearing this outfit in the countryside, it’s not embarrassing to wear it in the city either, it’s very face-saving!

"Isn't that a lie? I'll give it to you if I say so. Stop talking nonsense and let me see if you put it on." Wu Haiyang didn't allow any explanation. He opened the shirt and tried it directly on Tang Zhitong.

"I can do it myself. I can do it myself." Tang Zhitong couldn't refuse the kindness, so he took off his coat with a wry smile and tried it on. After all, this coat was the regular uniform of a school officer, and it was more than enough for him.

"You're right, he's very energetic! He's like a leader." Wu Haiyang straightened Tang Zhitong's collar, took a step back and looked at him for a few seconds, feeling very satisfied.

"That's right. Wear it when you come next time. You won't have to register when you enter the door." Lu Lixian was also laughing beside her.

"Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse, and the most important thing is that the clothes are good." Tang Zhitong smiled. This uniform did not have epaulettes, collar badges, or a big hat. Even without them, it would still be quite intimidating to wear it out.
