Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Zhang Yu said excitedly.

"Here are also tactical vests. Wearing them during nighttime operations can prevent vital organs from being instantly damaged. They're also quite durable. These three items are what I've made recently. Take them back and show them to your superiors!"

Chapter 112 Li Xiangdong's Purpose

Li Xiangdong rubbed his tired eyes and walked over to turn on the lights in the secret workshop.

Zhang Yu touched the vest, which was as light as a wing, and felt extremely excited.

Isn't this exactly the kind of bulletproof vest that's so scarce in China right now?

Island nations and other countries already possess similar equipment.

Wearing it can help minimize the loss of soldiers.

In China, there are no more than 1000 bulletproof vests like these in total.

There are now ten sets in front of him, all of which were developed by Li Xiangdong alone.

The contribution of this tactical vest alone to the motherland is indelible.

The reason Li Xiangdong pulled out three highly valuable weapons at once was also for future considerations.

The most important thing is to ensure the safety of my whole family.

I didn't originally want to hand over the bulletproof vest, this revolutionary weapon, first.

Now it seems that it's time.

The most important thing to remove from the courtyard house was the deaf old lady.

This person's identity is highly questionable; how could a brothel madam have such wealth?

No one would believe it if I told them.

First, she impersonated a martyr's family member; just as that identity was exposed, she was then revealed to be a brothel madam.

This made Li Xiangdong begin to suspect that the deaf old woman's last identity might be that of a spy from an enemy country.

If the deaf old lady were an enemy agent, then the lives of himself and his family would be threatened.

However, all he had to do was hand over the bulletproof vest.

The country will inevitably place even greater importance on itself.

As long as the deaf old lady reveals even the slightest flaw.

They could easily eliminate the deaf old lady, even if her final identity wasn't that of an enemy agent.

We also need to find a way to get rid of this madam from the courtyard house.

As for the others, we'll talk about them later.

"Comrade Li Xiangdong, thank you very much for successfully completing the task assigned by your superiors. I will go back and report to the leaders above. I will personally explain the situation to your factory director and approve your three-day leave."

"Go back and get some rest. I'll come to your house to let you know as soon as there's any reward or notification from above."

With great excitement, Zhang Yu spoke sincerely.

"You flatter me. We all hope that the country will get better and better, and it is my duty to make a contribution. I'll go back and rest now. Have all these things taken away. Take those blueprints with you too, and make sure to keep them confidential."

Li Xiangdong waved wearily and walked out of the secret workshop.

Zhang Yu immediately ordered his soldiers to secretly transport these items out of the steel mill.

……

Li Xiangdong first went to the commercial building and bought some things.

Afterwards, I went to the vegetable market and walked into a small alley closer to the courtyard house.

He then took out some food and drink ingredients from his own space.

He patted his face before walking into the courtyard.

"Brother-in-law, it's brother-in-law who's back."

Yu Wen was playing in the yard when he saw Li Xiangdong and excitedly shouted.

"Yu Wen, take these things. We'll cook a nice meal at your house later."

Li Xiangdong affectionately patted Yu Wen's head.

As long as your in-laws have sound values, and within certain limits and without crossing any bottom lines, that's fine.

Offering some help is a harmless thing.

Yu Wen excitedly took the things from Li Xiangdong's hands, and called to Yu Wu and Yu Bin to carry them home together.

Hearing Yu Wen's call, Yu Li also hurriedly came out of the house.

"Brother Dong, you're finally back."

Yu Li said, her eyes red and her voice slightly hoarse.

"Xiaoli, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me like this."

This operation was kept extremely secret; when I told my family, I could only say it was overtime work.

You can't tell anyone else, not even your closest relatives.

Seeing Yu Li's worried expression, Li Xiangdong felt both warmed and a little reluctant.

There was no other way; this was a task assigned by our superiors.

It is for the better development of our motherland that we must do our part, both morally and logically.

"It's alright, Dong-ge. As long as you come back safe and sound, that's better than anything else. You haven't had a decent meal while you've been away all this time. Why did you have to buy so much stuff? Let me cook for you. Let's have a good family reunion."

Yu Li said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Let's go to our parents' house for dinner. We can also tell them about our wedding date and let them see if it's an auspicious day."

Li Xiangdong reassured him.

……

Inside the house in Dajiang.

"We two old folks are really enjoying your good fortune. We have so much good food and drink. We used to only eat and drink like this once a year. You should also take care of your health while you're working!"

Yu Dajiang worked at a steel rolling mill and had heard about Li Xiangdong's job.

While praising Li Xiangdong's strong work ability, she also reminded her son-in-law to take care of his health, as health is the foundation of everything.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future. Now that Yu Li and I are getting married, you two are my parents. I should treat you the same way I treat my parents. That's filial piety."

Li Xiangdong chuckled.

"Speaking of which, which day are you planning to get married? Your father and I can take a look and see if there are any auspicious days or dates. Once we've decided, we can help you prepare in advance. You're both so busy with work; we can't let it interfere with your schedules!"

"Huang 400 Osmanthus said happily."

"This year, February 24th is New Year's Day, so let's set it for the fourth day of the new year. What do you two think?"

Li Xiangdong inquired.

"Good, double happiness! Those days are auspicious. You two can focus on your work. As for the wedding, we two old folks will take care of things first. If you need any changes, just let us know."

Yu Dajiang said with a smile.

Seeing that their daughter was finally getting married, the two elderly people were genuinely happy for her.

Finding such a good son-in-law as Li Xiangdong is a blessing that must have been accumulated over many years.

"Come on, son-in-law, have a couple of drinks with me. I'm happy today."

Yu Dajiang poured two full glasses of wine.

"That's true, I've been a bit tired lately, so I'll have a couple of drinks today."

Li Xiangdong raised his wine glass, toasted Dajiang, and drank it all in one gulp.

The family sat at the table, enjoying roast duck, braised beef, braised fish, and other delicious dishes.

……

At Jia Zhangshi's home.

"That little bastard deserves to die! He didn't even share some of the delicious food with our family. Humph, but don't think you're the only one who can eat so much meat and fish. Tomorrow, I'll prepare a whole table of food for you all to enjoy."

Smelling the odor, Jia Zhangshi said viciously.

Chapter 113 The Final Ultimatum

"Mom, did the deaf old lady and the others give you some money last time? Look, I haven't received my salary this month yet, and the children haven't had much to eat at home. Could you take out ten yuan first? I'll buy some meat for the children tomorrow to supplement their nutrition."

Qin Huairu asked cautiously.

"You want money, you want money, all you know is money. You have hands and feet, but you don't know how to work. You can't even feed two children. What use are you? When my son was alive, I relied on him. Now that my son is gone, I have to rely on myself."

Jia Zhangshi was extremely stingy with money.

Even if they already have 1500 yuan in their hands, they are unwilling to spend 10 yuan to supplement their household expenses.

This money was all Jia Zhangshi's money for her funeral.
