Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 318 Secret Mission

Qin Jingru has been here for more than half a month. She has already figured out the dispute between her sister's family and Lao Zhu's family. She doesn't think there is anything scary about her. It's obviously her brother-in-law and her sister's mother-in-law who are at fault, and she doesn't mean to harm anyone. Not afraid

It's just that I was standing in the Qin family and hadn't figured out how to deal with the relationship with the Zhu family. After all, I was still young and was not good at handling neighbor relations in the compound, so I didn't say anything and left with the three children.

From a distance, she saw Qin Huairu opening the door and letting in the three children. She must have also seen Zhu Xuefeng, and hurriedly closed the door without looking at each other.

Even though she was at home, she asked her sister to go out with her three children. Widow Qin was very thoughtful. But now everyone knows the situation in her family. What is the benefit of doing so? It is completely unnecessary and she is just a little woman. Zhu Xuefeng shook his head.

The second brother and Silly Zhu were coming out of the cellar. Silly Zhu raised his thumb at Zhu Xuefeng, nodded, and went back without saying a word.

"Second brother, it's time for you to finish the semester. My eldest brother is always running around outside this semester and doesn't even care about your studies. How do you think you did in your studies? Are there any difficulties? If there are any difficulties, I will work with my sister every night. Let me show you."

The second child watched the eldest brother enter and followed behind.

"I'm okay, I understand everything. There's no problem with my schoolwork now, and so does my little sister. However, brother, you let us have time to study English. This is quite troublesome. We can't find anyone to teach us. Now we're all fussing over it." Not to the door.”

Zhu Xuefeng slapped the back of his head. He had stayed outside for more than two months this semester, and he had indeed missed something. His younger siblings learned English at his own request, but he did not provide the corresponding conditions.

"I didn't handle this well enough. I'll make arrangements later. You guys should focus on studying during the holidays. For now, you should focus on reviewing and preparing for the exam."

"Brother, when the college entrance examination comes, should I choose Russian or English?"

"Okay, you can make your own arrangements. I'll leave now. When my little sister comes back, you can tell her that if you need anything, come to me in the courtyard."

Carrying a backpack made by Sanya, I said hello to Uncle Zou, pushed my scooter out of the courtyard, and arrived at Xia Yuhong's house in a short while.

"Just take a look at it when you have time. It's better not to wear it. No students in our class wear watches..."

"Yes. We will pay attention. Big brother, you are busy with your business. Little sister, I will keep an eye on it."

"But brother, you gave me the watch. What do you use? We have a clock at home and a bell at school. If you don't need it, you should keep it for yourself."

Lao Xia took the bag and put it on the table casually. He didn't care what was in the bag, but he paid attention to this boy. Even his daughter had a hard time finding him. Could it be that this boy had changed his mind?

"Uncle Xia, I went to the south at the end of March to do some business and didn't come back until the beginning of May. Xiaohong knows that of course she can't find me. Where is she?"

"Uncle Xia, you are at home, just in time. You should put these things away and marinate them, but don't leave them for too long."

"I'll be leaving in a moment. Every night I go to the compound to practice. If something happens to you and your sister, go to the compound to find me. Be careful not to reveal yourself."

According to Zhu Xuefeng's opinion, when the second child reaches his senior year in 1966, he has basically finished learning what he should learn. No matter what happens next, the knowledge he has learned is his own.

It's just that the younger sister is more troublesome. She hasn't thought about it yet. Zhu Xuefeng shook his head and shook off some random thoughts. He didn't have the conditions and it was just nonsense.

Zhu Xuefeng nodded, the second thought was very thoughtful.

Zhu Xuefeng thought for a while, took off his second-hand watch, and handed it to his second-hand brother, "Here is this for you. It will be more convenient at some time. If anyone asks, just say it belongs to my eldest brother and it is for you to use now."

The second child is becoming more and more calm, which is a bit inconsistent with his age. At first, he felt that the younger brother had lost his youthful nature, so he tried every means to make him more lively. As time went by, he stopped forcing it. The second child was obviously more mature than his peers. Much more.

The second child happily adjusted the watch strap with the help of his elder brother, put it on carefully, thought about it, took it off again, and put it in his pocket.

"It's too early to say this now. You need to learn both English and Russian, and you'll need them in the future. This has nothing to do with the college entrance examination. Once you learn it, it's yours."

The second child looked at the eldest brother in confusion. It would be convenient to have a watch, but when he saw that the eldest brother's wrist was empty, he felt a little sour.

"Look, doesn't this have a ticket? Don't worry about me. When your sister goes to high school, I will give her a piece too."

"You kid, I haven't been home for a long time, and I still talk about you all the time. I heard Xiaohong said that you are very busy now, and it is difficult for her to find you. Is that true?"

Zhu Xuefeng touched his second son's head and took out his watch ticket like a magic trick.

The second child didn't know why the elder brother asked the two of them to learn English. He was just used to doing things according to the elder brother's request, and now he was a little confused.

When Xia Yuhong didn't come out, Zhu Xuefeng couldn't help but glance behind Lao Xia. This girl had made an appointment, but she was not there, causing her to be interrogated by her father-in-law.

After listening to Zhu Xuefeng's explanation, Lao Xia found it reasonable, and when he was about to speak, he heard Xia's mother's voice coming from the back room.

"Is Xiao Zhu here? It's been a long time since he came to visit. Lao Xia, please go to Lao Song's house and call your daughter back."

Lao Xia could only smile awkwardly, pointed to the inner room, and said to Zhu Xuefeng.

"Then you sit down for a while and talk to your aunt first. I'll call Xiaohong back. The same thing happened to this girl. She made an appointment with someone to pick her up, but she ran away..."

Lao Xia just put on her clothes and went out, and Xia's mother came out. The wind brought a light fragrance. This was the perfume given by Zhu Xuefeng. Unexpectedly, Xia's mother had already used it. The fragrance was not strong, but very elegant.

"Xiao Feng, you are really a busy man. Xiao Hong said, you went to the south for more than a month. Tell aunt what it is like in the south now. I have never been there. Why don't you send aunt These things are really rare, are they all from the south?"

Most of the gifts were bought in Yangcheng. Except for the hair dryer and a small amount of cosmetics, Zhu Xuefeng didn't know what Xia Mu was referring to, so he had to describe the business in Yangcheng.

The business in Yangcheng is still managed more loosely and quickly than in the capital, and it is more prosperous. Due to its special geographical location, there are many things that cannot be seen in the capital...

"By the way, there are a few things I bought in Xiangjiang. You have to be careful, lest some narrow-minded people find trouble."

Xia's mother looked at the young man in front of her with joy. Yes, he was quite attentive. Little did she know that Zhu Xuefeng was disgusted by Xu Damao's report and that's why he had a memory.

This is also good luck. If the small radio was bought in Xiangjiang or made by myself, I couldn't tell it clearly last time. It is really possible that the skin will peel off.

… "Xiao Feng, you're here. I'm sorry. The hair boy named Song came to chat with me. He lost track of time while chatting. I'm ready. Let's go."

"Daughter, I will borrow Xiao Zhu's money for a word, and I will return it to you after a word. That's okay."

Lao Xia, who followed him in, originally wanted to talk to Xiao Zhu about many things, but he had no choice. He had the lowest status in the family, so when he saw his daughter about to pull Xiao Zhu away, he quickly interrupted.

"Nothing else, it's just that the big three wheels of the diesel engine in our factory are ready. It's the three-wheeler you mentioned. Come and take a look when you have time."

"Okay, okay, he is not a worker in your factory, and he is still in charge of your factory's affairs. You want to keep him busy. Mom, let's go. Remember to collect the meat Xuefeng sent. They are all good things. Don’t waste it.”

Xia Yuhong had already carried her bag and left, dragging Zhu Xuefeng with her. She didn't give Lao Xia any face. She didn't want her father to manipulate her partner. Zhu Xuefeng was going crazy now. The final exam was coming soon, so she couldn't let Lao Xia hold his hand. Walk.

"Look, this girl is facing him now and leaving me."

Xia's mother was smiling, as long as her daughter and Xiao Zhu were in harmony. As for Lao Xia's little thoughts and complaints, that was nothing.

"My daughter is right. When it comes to your factory, you should talk to the people in your factory. Why do you always expect Xiao Zhu to do it? You are a stingy person. What can you do if others help you?"

"My daughter has been given to him, so why else do I want to do it? He can help Lao Yang and the others earn foreign exchange, but he can't help me. After all, I am Xiaohong's father. I regret it now when I think about it. I shouldn't have put the motorcycle project into practice at that time. Get out."

Xia's mother poked Lao Xia's forehead with her finger. "You are still confused before you are old. Do motorcycles earn foreign exchange? If I give you a motorcycle project, you can go to the Canton Fair and sell it. I'm afraid you can't even think of going to the Canton Fair."

Lao Xia nodded, a little helpless, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and watched the two people leave from a distance. How could he get Xiao Zhu to help him.

"You old ghost, now you start smoking blatantly at home. Tell me, when will you start to have cigarettes in your pocket?"

Xia's mother just entered the inner room, smelled the smell of smoke outside, and walked out again.

"Isn't this the city calling on us to learn from the steel rolling mill, be brave enough to study, work hard, dare to earn foreign exchange, and use practical actions to serve the motherland? I am so anxious, alas..."

Xia's mother then looked at the man with distress. A few days ago, she found that the man was always tossing and turning and couldn't sleep after he came back. He didn't ask questions and his hair turned white. It turned out to be because of this.

"It depends on the product and luck. For a factory as big as yours, you can always come up with some solutions. Didn't you say that the current diesel tricycles are very good? If you improve them, can you try it in the second half of the year? The fact that this tricycle is cheap is a huge advantage.”

"I think so too. Don't you want Xiao Zhu to help you look at it again? He has dealt with the foreigner, so he knows the foreigner's thoughts better than we do. I just opened my mouth and let the girl pull me away. This boy is now I’m very busy, and I don’t know when we’ll see each other next time.”

"What a big deal! You, a big man like you, can't keep your composure at all. Next time my daughter comes back, I will tell her to take Xiao Zhu to your factory. Otherwise, it will be over. You are still the director of the factory. I really don’t hesitate to tell you.”

Lao Xia was so happy that he didn't care about his wife's push and hurriedly came over...

...

"It's not appropriate for us to leave like this. Your dad seems to have something to tell you."

"You can't tell whether it's suitable or not. My dad wants to find something for you to do. You are so busy now and have to review and prepare for exams. How can you have time to care about him? Aren't they cooperating with Beijing Institute of Technology? There are many people to help. He doesn't need you, don't think about it, let's go back to school and review hard, and we have to do internships during the holidays..."

There is no way to review properly. The next night, Zhu Xuefeng went to his godmother's house and brought some game. Uncle Kong also came back, and the two were sitting and talking in the study.

"Xiao Feng, this time I made you suffer a little, and your younger brothers and sisters also suffered a little. Fortunately, you are fine. Your godmother told me the details of what happened. I didn't expect that I was negligent and did not explain it clearly. Let you Everyone deserves some punishment."

"It's okay. It's all over. It was just a misunderstanding. It's okay if we let it go."

"The personnel situation in your compound is quite complicated. You are always missed when you are not at home. Next time you encounter something like this, just take out the ID I gave you. It will save you a lot of trouble. This ID Just keep it."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Kong took the initiative to leave the certificate without waiting for him to speak. This would be much more convenient in the future. Since Uncle Kong refused to accept it, Zhu Xuefeng had no intention of handing it over.

"I heard that you were the one responsible for the big project in Xiangjiang. You have so much energy that I have underestimated you. Don't look at me. I don't want to check your whereabouts. This is the following person named Ding. It was reported in the newspaper, but you don’t know it yet, but the higher-ups are already paying attention to you.”

Zhu Xuefeng broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that this matter would definitely be revealed in the end. He did not expect that it would attract the attention of the higher authorities so early. However, it is really unjustifiable to have so much foreign exchange. This technology is also needed in the country. Countless islands are all because of Lack of fresh water makes development impossible and protection extremely difficult.

"Come on, come on. Uncle Kong, don't scare me. I just come up with ideas. The actual work has to be done by professors and experts. I can't help with my little knowledge."

"Don't be careless about me. Director Jiang is a real person. When we asked him, he told us everything. These ideas and plans are basically yours. I have no choice but to take on this reputation for you."

Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was a little restless, Uncle Kong comforted him.

"Don't worry, the superiors also understand your thoughts. Indeed, if you were to take the lead, this big project would probably be out of the question. Now that the negotiations are over, we have seen the initial results. They are very satisfied, and the superiors are also very satisfied. satisfy."

In less than two months, the preliminary work has been completed and initial results have been obtained. It is really difficult for Professor Jiang and the others. Zhu Xuefeng has been to the research base and the conditions are not bad.

The staff all worked around the clock. At that time, Professor Jiang said that it was this huge reward for completing the work ahead of schedule that deceived everyone. Everyone was working hard. The reward for one year in advance was too big. Everyone was working hard to achieve the goal. Earn this for the country.

I'm really afraid that these people won't be able to bear it physically. Fortunately, the country has also provided great protection. Otherwise, how could it have progressed to the stage of producing initial results in less than two months.

Uncle Kong was looking at Zhu Xuefeng. He had watched Zhu Xuefeng grow up during this young age, but the growth rate was a bit alarming. Basically every time they met, he would find that he had become famous again. He was really formidable.

"By the way, I have come to you this time for a special mission. I want you to try it. The danger should not be great. There are also our people cooperating outside. Let's see how it goes..."

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng a little confused, Uncle Kong explained.

"Our people are all rough guys. They don't understand these professional knowledge at all. If they sneak in, the secret will be exposed in a few words. The target will be strictly protected. As long as the secret is exposed, the mission will basically be screwed up."
