Chapter 1049: Visiting the Soldiers

Li Feng, who was full of expectations, was disappointed.

He rubbed his nose bridge slightly embarrassedly. He didn't expect Ran Qilin was still thinking about it.

The main thing is that, in order to invite him over, the means used were indeed a bit rough and not presentable.

"Don't worry, Professor Ran. No one is worried about your precious daughter. At least, you can relax on my side~!"

Comfort, comfort with all your strength, this is not the time to be arguing, scientific researchers are his treasures, Li Feng almost swears.

Besides, he really didn't have any feelings towards Ran Qiuye. Teacher Ran was a good person, that was all.

"Well, I'm going back first~!"

I don’t know if Ran Qilin heard Li Feng’s explanation. He dusted off his hands and walked towards his bicycle.

Watching Professor Ran go back like this, Li Feng wanted to sigh to the sky. He probably couldn't get over this. In the eyes of his old father, he was not much different from a gangster.

"Please ride slower~!"

Shaking his head, Li Feng had no intention of following him back to the factory.

Now that you're here and have seen the bridge, you should also go to the construction site. The engineers are here to help. It's been so many days, so it's time for them to show up and express their appreciation.

He waved towards the other side, and Secretary-General Wang, who was guarding Li Feng's bicycle, nodded quickly, got on Li Feng's bicycle, and rushed towards Liangmaqiao.

The back seat of the car was filled with goods, and even the handlebars were hung with packages wrapped in oil paper.

Four slices of Quanjude roast duck, a few cartons of cigarettes, and packages of fruit candies, White Rabbit snacks, and other food.

Li Feng paid for all of it himself, spending one month's salary. Secretary Wang originally offered to reimburse him, but his offer was rejected.

With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the construction site in Anjiazhuang. Looking at the bustling scene, some people who knew Li Feng wanted to come over, but he waved them away.

It was not until he arrived at the construction command center and saw Secretary Wang waiting at the door that Li Feng walked into the house.

"Hello, Captain Luo, hello~!"

"Oh~, who are you?"

"Li Feng, deputy director of the steel rolling mill, thank you very much for your help. It is really a timely help for our family quarters project!"

The captain of the team, Captain Luo, did not hold a military rank. He was about thirty years old and had an angular face.

After all, it was a private help. For the army, it was a business trip, and it was a docking work with the maintenance department of the steel rolling mill.

"Oh, it's you. No need to thank me. This is a task assigned by our superiors. If you really want to thank someone, I'm afraid we should thank you~!"

It seemed that their leader had already given instructions before the departure, so Captain Luo was very polite at this time and shook hands with Li Feng firmly.

"Come on, Secretary Wang, bring in the condolences~!"

After a round of greetings, Li Feng looked around the command center. Construction drawings were hung on the wall and there was a camp bed in the corner. The office furnishings in the room were clearly visible, with a very neat and tidy atmosphere like those in the army.

"Deputy Director Li, we don't need any of your stuff. Thank you so much. The leader has told us not to take even a single needle or thread from you~!"

Looking at the secretary standing outside the door and starting to move packages into the house, Captain Luo quickly waved his hands with a look of panic on his face.

"This is not money paid by the factory, but by me. It is your contribution to the construction of the steel mill. It is my personal gratitude to you!" Li Feng grabbed Captain Luo's arm, waved his hand, and explained the difference. He had considered this aspect before coming here.

"Yes, Captain Luo, don't worry, it was indeed our deputy factory director who paid for it himself. I wanted to use the public account, but he didn't agree because you are the people's soldiers~!"

While putting the things away, Secretary Wang did not forget to explain to Li Feng. He was very considerate, which made Captain Luo smile bitterly.

"Look, you have so many young warriors here. To be honest, you have made great contributions to the people of Beijing by coming to Beijing~!"

"As the saying goes, you have to endure hardships before you can enjoy yourself. Little soldiers, you have suffered, but you have never enjoyed yourself. You can't go back to Beijing without even trying Quanjude's roast duck, right?"

"As a Beijing native, you have helped me so much. I should buy some roast duck for everyone to taste. As a cadre, I can still afford this!"

Captain Luo's hesitation is understandable, as our army's tradition is not to take benefits from the masses. But is Li Feng a member of the masses? He is a clerk and a soldier.

As a soldier, he could drive around for three years, but as an engineer, he was doing the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work.

To put it bluntly, once the work started, it was like a mouse in a hole, with no day or night. I guess when I was discharged from the army, I hadn't even had the chance to visit the city gate tower.

Therefore, it was only right that he paid this money.

"Sniff, sniff, don't tell me why it smells so good, it turns out to be Quanjude Roast Duck~!"

Li Feng's explanation was very reasonable and heartfelt. After Captain Luo smiled bitterly, he had no choice but to accept his kindness. What's more, after sniffing his nose, he even played a little joke on Li Feng.

"Haha, it smells good, right? I'll give you a snack at noon. This roast duck is the most famous dish in Beijing~!"

In fact, if we talk about the one that tastes better, it has to be Bianyifang. Li Feng has eaten there many times, but Bianyifang is not an elegant name enough, and as a deputy factory director, he has to act with dignity.

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li, on behalf of everyone!"

"You're welcome. There are still some candies and other things. You can divide them up as you like, but it must go into your mouths. The migrant workers are paid, but it's a different matter from you. I can't pay you, so I can only pay for the condolences myself~!"

Before leaving, Li Feng made this small request, and his mood became much better.

The original Anjiazhuang threshing ground has now become a temporary teaching point. Some skilled workers are receiving construction training from the engineering corps. Li Feng also stood by and watched, finding it quite interesting.

"Why do we need to tie a brick to this rope? Because the house needs to be built straight. If the wall is crooked, the house will collapse. This thing is to help you find the verticality~!"

The young man who was teaching was holding a thin rope with a fist-sized broken brick tied to it, and was giving a lecture in front of the blackboard.

"In rural areas, only one floor is built, so there is no such requirement. It's fine as long as it's roughly the same. But this is a six-story house, and your craftsmanship varies. Every time the wall height rises by one meter, you have to use this thing to adjust the verticality. It's called a wire puller~!"

"The sides and front of the wall must all be aligned with this vertical rope. This is a requirement of the construction specifications. It's a fixed thing. If you close one eye, you can observe it clearly with the other eye. You can take turns to come up and try it~!"

Li Feng had never seen this method before.

In his era, levels were already used in building houses. With a laser, everything could be aligned, whether vertical or horizontal. He had actually seen that thing when taking clients to construction sites.

Unexpectedly, this crude method is now used, relying on the earth's own gravity and using a vertical rope to level the wall.

On the other side, sewer pipes were being laid. The concrete pipes were 50 centimeters in diameter and were entirely laid manpower-intensively, one section at a time, in the dug trenches.

Everything seemed to be in order. Li Feng, the representative of Party A, felt very satisfied. Of course, it would be great if there was an excavator, but this thing was just something he could think about for now.

Li Feng really wanted to operate that big guy and fulfill his childhood dream of driving an excavator.
