African Nationhood

The weather in Handu in July is refreshing and pleasant, the sky is already bright, and the crisp chirping of birds can be heard outside.

Before the alarm clock rang, Shi Xu had already stood up. He stood in front of the window, stretched and started to get dressed.

He has now adapted to the work of Factory 621. Director Xu and Team Leader Ren in the factory are very polite to him. The research and development of new gunpowder is generally going smoothly despite occasional disturbances.

Because he successfully developed a new type of fused gunpowder, the military added more manpower to his team and expanded laboratory equipment.

Due to improved experimental conditions, his team has never had any accidents involving injuries during experiments.

He became the team's chief researcher, and Wu Minghe's status rose sharply because of his success in joining the team. Now he has been promoted to the rank of captain.

Wu Minghe was also very grateful for Shi Xu's support and obeyed all his instructions and requirements.

But Wu Minghe never mentioned the marriage that night when the two of them were drunk and got married in a daze.

Although Shi Xu fled from Wu Minghe's house after he sobered up, he still cared about it in his heart.

He often saw Wu Yuxi in the factory, but the girl always ignored him and did not take the initiative to let him have a meal, which made him very worried.

After several months of silent attention, he found that although this girl was a bit delicate, she was generally good. The only shortcoming was that the girl's education was not high.

She only had a secondary education, and he couldn't even transfer this girl to the R&D team.

So he found Xu Huange and asked Factory Director Xu to help arrange Wu Yuxi to work in the service agency. The work there was easy and not tiring.

This was the best arrangement he had made for her. In his opinion, it was impossible for this girl to marry him, but he couldn't help but think about this girl.

Every time he thought about it, he felt that it would be impossible to succeed, so he became more and more disinterested.

……

"bang bang~~"

Hearing the sound of the door kicking, Shi Xu, who had put on his clothes, opened the door with a quick step, and then saw Shi Ang standing on the spot with a look of astonishment.

"Hey, why did you get up so early today?"

Shi Xu snorted and reached out to twist his brother's cheek.

"If I didn't get up early, wouldn't you have escaped?"

Shi Ang grinned, "Second brother, let go quickly, it hurts, it hurts!"

Shi Xu let go, then went out and went downstairs, "What are you having for breakfast today?"

"Milk bread with bacon, or rice porridge with fried dough sticks, your choice."

Shi Xu thought about it and decided that bacon would be better, "I choose bacon."

"Then I'll eat fried dough sticks and drink rice porridge."

The two brothers sat at the dining table and tied their napkins, and then their nanny Aunt Li quickly brought them breakfast.

"Your mother called just now and asked you brothers to stay at home and wait for her after dinner."

Shi Xu looked at Shi Ang in surprise when he heard this, "Did you get into trouble?"

Shi Ang immediately shook his head, "How could it be? I'm very good now. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Li."

Aunt Li is 45 years old this year, and she has been in Nanhua for nearly 20 years.

She had only been here for two years when she heard that Mr. Shi was recruiting nannies.

She came with a large group of women who had given birth, and eventually she was left with one other woman, who together worked as nannies for the children.

She was assigned to Mrs. Alice's side, and the three children, Shi Xi, Shi Xu and Shi Ang, were very close to her.

Now that the children have grown up and Shi Xi has married again, she has stayed here with brothers Shi Xu and Shi Ang.

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Xiao Ang has been very good recently. He is 16 years old this year and will soon consider studying abroad. This is probably why your mother came here.

As for you, I guess I have to arrange a blind date for you. "

Hearing these words, Shi Xu's heart tightened.

"Aunt Li, do you know whose girl my mother is going to arrange for me?"

Aunt Li smiled and said, "I don't know about this. I only heard that the other party is a girl who returned from studying abroad."

Shi Xu became even more anxious after hearing this. He put down the knife and fork in his hand and said, "Aunt Li, I have to go to work and have important things to do today. You can tell my mother when she comes."

Shi Ang was puzzled when he saw his second brother being so impatient, "Why are you in such a hurry and you don't even eat breakfast? If you don't eat it, I will. Bacon is so delicious!"

Aunt Li couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Shi Xu's hurried away figure. Shi Ang looked at Aunt Li who was sighing in confusion, "Aunt Li, why are you sighing?"

Aunt Li smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's eat quickly. Since your brother doesn't eat, you can eat more." Shi Ang nodded, "Yeah, hehe."

……

Shi Xu walked out of Meilin Palace and got into the Crown Car, feeling confused.

"To the factory?"

"Ah."

The Crown car drove very fast and arrived in more than half an hour. The driver cautiously stopped the car 500 meters away from the factory.

Shi Xu usually gets off the bus here and then walks into the 621 Factory.

But today he suddenly ordered: "Drive in."

The driver didn't know what was wrong with the prince, but he didn't dare to disobey his order.

So the Crown car slowly drove to the entrance of the 621 factory. When the guard at the door saw the Crown car coming, he immediately became nervous and thought it was some military official coming.

He quickly walked to the car door and saluted, and the car window rolled down to reveal a familiar face.

"Hello, Xiao An!"

Shi Xu nodded to the guard, and then whispered: "Let's drive in."

The guard quickly opened the doorstop, and the Crown car slowly drove into the factory.

This Crown car attracted the attention of many people in the factory, but no one expected that the person getting out of the car would be the mixed-race Xiao An.

Soon the news began to spread within the 621 factory.

……

With a "bang", the door of the service center opened, and a fat middle-aged woman hurriedly walked in.

"Oh, big news, big news!"

Another middle-aged woman who was sorting the goods immediately listened to the movements in her hands, looked at the woman who broke in and asked: "Sister Zhou, what's the big news?"

Fat Sister Zhou glanced at Wu Yuxi, who was still carrying her back, and then said excitedly: "Do you know what I saw just now?"

"what?"

"Crown sedan."

The woman who was sorting the goods glared at the fat woman, "What's wrong with the Crown Car? No one has seen it before."

Fat Sister Zhou smiled and said, "I know Crown cars are not rare, but people who get out of the car are."

This succeeded in attracting the tally woman's curiosity, "Who is it, Director Xu?"

Fat Sister Zhou quickly waved her hand, "No way, it's Xiao An, that mixed-race Xiao An."

Wu Yuxi, who was listening to the gossip casually, was immediately stunned. At this time, she suddenly understood something.

I just felt a chill on my face and couldn't hear anything anymore.

……

Shi Xu got out of the car and told the driver to wait here. His mother would probably call him directly at noon to ask him to go back.

Then he absentmindedly went to the research room. When he arrived at the office, he sat numbly in his seat and didn't know what to do.

Members of the research institute arrived one after another. When everyone saw Shi Xu sitting motionless on his desk, they thought he was thinking about some profound problem and did not dare to disturb him.

Wu Minghe came to the office and took a look at Shi Xu, who sighed to himself.

He originally thought he could reach a higher level, but he didn't expect it.

The fact that Xiao An is riding in the Crown Car means that he has made his identity clear, and it is impossible for his daughter to marry into a wealthy family.

……

Time passed by, and Shi Xu was restless. He was very confused, not knowing whether he should express his feelings to his mother.

What if his mother understands him but his father does not? There is no way he can resist his father.

"Dingling bell~~"

The phone on the table rang, and Shi Xuleng couldn't help being startled.

He didn't pick up the phone for a long time. He just stared at the ringing phone and sat with the final tangle. (End of chapter)
