Chapter 2591: Story of No. 005

Ah~~
Suddenly, Wang Tiande wailed and began to struggle.

The two militiamen immediately restrained him.

"Director, no, no, he's still a child."

As an accountant, Wang Tiande understood the seriousness of this crime. If it were proven true, he and his son would be dead.

Some villagers around knew the situation and immediately became terrified when they heard this.

"Child? Humph."

"Are there children this old?"

"Is there such a vicious child?"

Director Liu glanced at Wang Tiande and said nothing.

If this matter had not come up in front of the leader, there would still be room for maneuver, but this is clearly molestation of a woman, and if he does not handle it impartially, then he will be the one to be punished.

At this time, Wang Peng also realized the seriousness of the consequences, closed his eyes and fainted.

"take away."

Director Liu just waved his hand, and someone immediately carried the paralyzed family away.

As Director Liu left, everything that happened in Caojiagou spread quickly around.

When it was learned that Wang Peng, who had molested women, had to eat peanuts, this unexpected punishment immediately caused an uproar.

Especially in those villages where people from the city came, for a moment, those who originally had some evil intentions immediately stayed away.

They can't guarantee that the other person doesn't have any relatives in the city.

Because of this incident of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the lives of many people who moved from the city have improved.

This was something Yang Xiaotao had never thought of.

In the old city of 1949, Yang Xiaotao was sitting in his office entertaining Mr. Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building.

The two sat in the office for a long time, starting from noon, and kept chatting about work, life, study, etc.

Everything is just to kill time.

"Xiao Yang, your research institute is doing very well."

"At least in practice, it is not much worse than the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Mr. Qian put down the cup to indicate that he didn't want to drink anymore, and only then did Yang Xiaotao put down the teapot.

Hearing what Mr. Qian said, Yang Xiaotao just smiled modestly, "Commander, you are flattering us. Compared with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we are still far behind."

However, Mr. Qian disagreed. “The Chinese Academy of Sciences has its own advantages, and you have your own strengths.”

"Especially the courage to practice and explore. Not only the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not good at this, but even our Second Ministry of Machine Building is not good enough."

"Oh, don't say that. I want to get more benefits from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly stopped him. After hearing this, Mr. Qian laughed and said, "You are just not satisfied."

"No, I'm just too poor. What should I do if I don't have anyone to work for me?"

"I have no choice but to borrow someone else's money."

Yang Xiaotao spread his hands, but Mr. Qian didn't believe it.

If someone had said before that the Nine Departments had poor foundation and weak base, he would have believed it.

But in the past two years, there have been a lot of talented people emerging.

No matter how they found it, Jiubu is good at using it.

And it achieved results.

"By the way. I heard you got a big order?"

Qian Lao asked curiously. Yang Xiaotao understood that the other party was talking about machine tools, so he did not hide it and said directly, "Yes, the higher-ups have reached a cooperation agreement with several countries and need us to provide machine tools to develop mechanical manufacturing. We have been assigned some tasks."

"Really? I heard that among the five families, you nine departments accounted for half of the benefits."

After Qian Lao finished speaking, he sighed again without waiting for Yang Xiaotao to refute, "It's a pity that our Second Machine Ministry's focus is not on this, otherwise we can also get a share of the pie."

Speaking of it, their Second Ministry of Machine Building had quite a few factories, but if we were to say that they were engaged in large-scale machine tool manufacturing, there was really no such thing.

Even many of the machines they used were manufactured with the help of other machine departments.

Of course, the situation is similar in other machine departments.

All in all, there are only three and a half companies in China that are capable of mass-producing machine tools.

Take the Ministry of Machine Building as one example. They are huge in size, and the machine tool factories under them account for most of the country.

The Ninth Ministry of Machine Building is one of them. Most of the high-precision machine tools in China are made by the Ninth Ministry.

The remaining Third Ministry of Machine Building, Seventh Ministry of Machine Building and Logistics Department can only be considered half.

Adding it all together, it’s exactly three and a half.

"How can it be halfway? Commander, please don't tell anyone about this."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands quickly, and then whispered, "We only account for less than 30%, and the bulk of it has to be handed over. You know, Mr. Chen is watching."

"Just to make a little money, a little money."

Old Qian pointed at Yang Xiaotao and said, "This is still a small amount of money. Yes, in your eyes, this amount of money is really not much. It's not like us. We have to split every penny into half and keep the other half."

Yang Xiaotao immediately became alert when he heard what Qian Lao said, "No, please don't do that. You just took five million from us last time. Are you going to do that again?"

"We really have no more food."

Old Qian curled his lips and said, "I was just saying it, look how scared I am."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, "You don't know, I was really scared."

"The last time the Chinese Academy of Sciences built a satellite, they extorted five million from us."

"This time, we are going to research communication satellites, and the starting price is 200 million. My heart trembles just hearing this."

"And Mr. Wang from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building said he wanted to develop a new rocket and asked us to help. I was afraid he would come knocking on my door these past few days."

Yang Xiaotao began to complain, and Qian Lao just laughed.

Originally, he did want to fight the local tycoons, but when he thought about what Jiubu was going to do recently, he would make a lot of money but also spend a lot of money.

What's more, the machinery factory of Ministry 9 in the northwest has been helping him, so he was embarrassed to ask for it.

"Okay, I'm just asking. I heard that you are going to develop a new type of machine tool?"

Mr. Qian changed the subject, and Yang Xiaotao followed suit, saying, "Yes, this Mercury machine tool still has some deficiencies in precision machining and cannot keep up with international development, so we plan to take advantage of this opportunity to develop a new type of machine tool."

"Yeah, that's right. Our industrial development seems to be quite fast, but it is still far behind that of developed countries."

“Machine tools, the mother machine of industry!”

Mr. Qian sighed, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "If there's anything we can do to help, just let me know."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Don't worry, if there is really a hurdle that I can't overcome, I will definitely call for external help."

Old Qian smiled. As the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside, and then they heard Liu Lixue walk in.

"Director Yang, Mr. Qian, we just received news that the convoy has entered the city of Sijiu. They will be able to come to our Department 9 in half an hour."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao and Qian Lao stood up.

"Commander, let's go get ready."

Elder Qian looked solemn, "It's time to get ready."

"Dad, we're going back to Sijiu City."

"Sister, this place is the same as when we left. Look, that's the gate."

In the armored vehicle, the little boy lay in front of the shooting hole and looked at the scenery around the vehicle, his eyes full of information.

Lu Juan was also looking to the side, nodding from time to time, "Yes, we are back again."

On the side, Lu Tao patted his wife's hand, and the latter just nodded.

However, along the way, Fang Hanmei's cough actually got much better.

Lu Tao thought that it was because he left Caojiagou that his mood improved and the depression disappeared, which led to his recovery.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lu Tao tried to comfort her, but Fang Hanmei just held her husband's hand, feeling both nervous and looking forward to everything that would happen to her father.

Lu Tao also wanted to know what exactly happened that made his father-in-law keep it a secret before his death.

"Sister Xiao'e."

Lu Juan suddenly asked, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

"What's up, Xiaojuan?"

During the journey, Lou Xiao'e spent most of the time talking about the Nine Departments.

She had been with Liu Lixue for a long time, and naturally knew how to be a good commentator through what she had seen and heard.

Of course, the essence of commentary is to say good things and then exaggerate and beautify them appropriately.

The consequence of this is that Xiaojuan's curiosity and affection for Jiubu have surpassed that of the little boy.

"Well, Sister Xiao'e, you nine departments should return it, return it."

"You still need someone, right?"

When Lou Xiao'e saw the little girl like this, she knew what she wanted to say.

However, after looking at Lu Tao standing beside her, she knew the reason why Yang Xiaotao asked her to come.

Fang Hanmei is one.

Lu Tao is one.

The first is sentiment, but the second is the goal of their nine departments.

Moreover, Yang Bu’s judgment of people should not be wrong.

Lou Xiao'e's straightforward answer made Xiaojuan blush. She lowered her head unconsciously and hummed.

Although Lu Tao and his wife didn't look over, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

My daughter is not young anymore, it would be good for her to find a job. And now it seems that Jiubu is indeed a good place to go.

I just don’t know if the Nine Departments need anyone.

These days, it’s hard to be a worker, and it’s even harder to be a worker in the Ninth Department.

"Of course we in the Nine Departments need people, but it depends on where you want to go."

"Or rather, what would you do?"

Hearing Lou Xiao'e say this, Lu Juan immediately raised her head and said seriously, "Sister Xiao'e, I, I study chemistry, is that okay?"

"Chemistry."

Lou Xiao'e deliberately dragged out her words, then narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then for chemistry, there are two choices."

"One is to go to the chemical plant, and the other is to go to the research institute at the headquarters."

"Of course, the difficulty of these two is greater or lesser. The Institute of Chemistry at the Institute is more difficult, but it has good development prospects."

"Go to a chemical factory and be a worker. There is room for advancement."

"Think about these two carefully."

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, Lu Juan immediately smiled, because she was willing to do either one.

Then he looked at his father, trying to get his opinion.

"You are such a kid, you are lucky enough to be admitted to the Nine Departments. You have no right to be picky."

After hearing this, Lu Juan immediately looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Sister Xiao'e, I can go anywhere."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Okay, when we get back to the Ninth Department, we'll see what the leader thinks. But you have to perform well, too."

Lu Juan nodded immediately, "Yes, I will definitely perform well."

Soon, the car passed through Sijiu City and arrived at the gate of Jiubu.

"This is the ninth department. Let's go in."

Lou Xiao'e pointed forward and spoke. The people in the car looked over there immediately, but they were curious and a little nervous.

The car passed the gate and stopped soon.

Wow
The car door opens.

Lou Xiao'e got off the car first, and then was invited to get off.

Downstairs, Chen Gong was talking to Yang Xiaotao and Qian Lao, with Liu Huaimin, Lao Hong, Lao Dao and Shu Xingbei standing beside them.

The old Taoist had been to the Northwest and was acquainted with Mr. Qian.

Shu Xingbei has a close relationship with Fang Hanmei's father. The two have met each other and are considered relatives.

When the four saw someone getting out of the car, they hurried forward without saying anything.

"Yang Department!"

When Lou Xiao'e saw the crowd, she hurriedly walked up to Yang Xiaotao and introduced the four people behind her.

"This is Comrade Fang Hanmei, and this is her lover Comrade Lu Tao."

"These two are their daughter and son."

Yang Xiaotao looked around and nodded at the four of them.

Similarly, Lu Tao's family was also looking at Yang Xiaotao.

The first feeling is youth.

How could this person be thirty years old?

It even feels like she is about the same age as my eldest daughter.

Just thinking about the fact that he is already the father of five children, Lu Tao and Fang Hanmei knew that he just looked young.

What's more, the other party's achievements cannot be judged by their age.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yang Xiaotao first spoke to Lou Xiaoe, and then looked at the four people.

"Comrade Lu Tao, Comrade Fang Hanmei, hello."

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and extended his hand enthusiastically. Lu Tao stretched out both his hands and shook them tightly.

"Minister Yang, thank you, thank you so much."

Yang Xiaotao just smiled and stepped aside, "This is Minister Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building."

Then he introduced Mr. Qian to the two of them.

"Hello, Chief."

Lu Tao quickly greeted her, and Fang Hanmei followed suit.

"Hello."

Mr. Qian's face looked heavy, but he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Xiao Fang, do you still remember me?"

Shu Xingbei suppressed his inner excitement and walked forward.

Fang Hanmei looked at the visitor carefully.

At this time, Shu Xingbei had recovered both physically and mentally because of his entry into the Ninth Department. His complexion and health were much better than before. For a moment, Fang Hanmei didn't recognize him.

"You, you are Uncle Shu?"

This call contained more emotion than the one Uncle Qian had just called out.

"Yes, it's me. That's me."

"Uncle Shu."

Fang Hanmei was extremely excited. Lu Tao behind her also recognized the person and hurried forward to greet him.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Shu Xingbei was in tears. He had just heard a few simple words from Chen Gong and knew that if they had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Even if I go to the underworld and see my old friends, I will still be unable to explain myself.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

"It was Teacher Shu's idea to find you this time."

Yang Xiaotao said on the side, which made the couple even more moved.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk. Let's go inside and talk."

Yang Xiaotao led everyone into the building and they came to the conference room.

Everyone sat down, and then their eyes fell on Mr. Qian.

"Xiao Fang, your father has a medal like this, right?"

Old Qian took out a silver medal from his pocket, which looked similar to Yang Xiaotao's own "Tengfei".

He just took a glance and saw that the number on it was 003, which was earlier than his 009.

The moment Mr. Qian took out the medal, Fang Hanmei and Lu Tao were both shocked, and then they both looked at the little boy beside them.

The next second, the little boy pulled out a chain from his neck, and hanging underneath was a medal of ‘transcendence’.

"Sure enough, it's true."

Mr. Qian took the medal, looked at it carefully, and then talked to himself.

Yang Xiaotao stretched his head to look over and found that there was indeed a number on it, 005.

Then "Er Ji" and "Fang Ziqiang" were engraved next to it.

Mr. Qian gently fumbled with the medal in his hand and said softly, "Your father is called Fang Qiang in our place. For the sake of confidentiality, his real name cannot be used."

"Fifteen years ago, he came to the Second Ministry of Machine Building"

"He said that he was worthy of his country but not his family."

"But he has no choice, because without the big family, there would be no small family!"

Mr. Qian sighed softly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"The projects he was involved in have been kept secret until now, so you can't find him, and he can't contact you."

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, Lu Tao and Fang Hanmei changed at the same time because they both thought of something.

"terribly sorry."

"Your father was involved in our mushroom egg research."

"During another experiment, the voltage overloaded, the machine suddenly failed, and the reactor was in danger of exploding."

“If the experiment fails again, the previously accumulated data will need to be redone.”

"At that moment, your father got ahead of himself and reached out to turn off the machine."

"The price I paid was that I was severely exposed to radiation, and my health has been getting worse day by day since then."

"After success, I left and rested."

“This is the story behind this medal.”

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, tears rolled down his cheeks, dripping onto the Medal of Transcendence.

At this moment, Fang Hanmei covered her face with her hands. She had thought about many things and many endings, but she never thought it would be like this.

Amid the roar, the word "Dad" was heartbreaking.

Cries rang out, tearing cries rang out.

Lu Tao hugged his wife, his heart also pounding.

His father-in-law is his role model.

The other people in the meeting room had sad expressions on their faces.

This is a sad story, but at the same time, a raging fire is burning deep in everyone's heart.

They believe that if they were faced with the same choice, they would reach out.
