Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"What are you talking about? I can only blame myself for being blind and picking such a person for Xiaofang. Fortunately, Xiaofang and him don't have any relationship, otherwise it would be a big trouble."

"Uncle Wang, you've clearly been implicated in this matter. Didn't the higher-ups consider this?"

"This is not the fault of the higher-ups. After all, I am in this position. If something happens to my family, I will definitely be held responsible. But I have to criticize your actions. How can you just give up your job?"

"Uncle Wang, I am so angry. When I was asked to work, they said nice things to me, but when it came time to reward me, they kept delaying. It's boring. Why should I bother with that? I might as well just eat and wait to die. How comfortable it is."

Minister Wang looked at Li Dongfang and said angrily:

"You can't think like that. The organization has definitely noticed your achievements and kept them in mind. You will definitely get what you deserve.

The country has just been established and there is a lot of work to be done. If you have the ability, you should contribute. Think about those comrades who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield for the country. They have suffered much more than you have. Have they given up their duties? "

Li Dongfang doesn't think so. Coming from a later generation, he admires the selfless dedication of his predecessors, but the corresponding treatment cannot keep up. He knows very well how many talents will be lost in the future. Now he not only wants to develop technology, but also let everyone know that developing technology in the country can also lead to promotion and wealth.

"Uncle Wang, you may not understand what I'm saying, but I'm doing this not only for myself, but also to set an example for the country's long-term talent pool. Talent should be valued. If a researcher with world-leading technology doesn't make as much money and live as a person selling tea eggs and pork, do you think anyone would still be willing to do research? Even if they do, would they want to choose a place with better treatment and income after they have achieved results? The country can't always be closed. Once it opens up, can these people withstand the temptation of a favorable foreign environment and income? In peacetime, we can't continue to think in wartime terms."

How many advanced technologies in the world have Chinese researchers involved in the development of future generations? How many technologies were developed by Chinese? Isn't the national rejuvenation started from improving the treatment of researchers? Therefore, the treatment issue must be resolved. Otherwise, the national scientific and technological level cannot be improved by just shouting slogans.

Li Dongfang saw Minister Wang frowning, and continued, "Uncle Wang, today I handed in a copy of my recent research notes to the ministry. I heard about the Russians' plan to target the American jet fighters, so I did some research. If the plane is made according to my idea, it will definitely be the world's top fighter, with a speed of no less than 3000 kilometers per hour. But I heard that the Russians have already tested a prototype, so I handed in the notes. If we can study it as soon as possible, we won't be much slower. If we delay for a few more years... then we will be slower at every step."

"You...are you telling the truth?" Minister Wang's voice was trembling. He certainly understood what it meant to have an airplane flying at a speed of over 3000 kilometers per hour.

"Uncle Wang, let's not talk about this. Anyway, I've already handed in my notes. I've done what I should do. What happens next has nothing to do with me. Even if you force me to continue researching, I won't be able to figure it out. I'm in a bad mood and my brain isn't working."

After Li Dongfang came out of Wang's house, he realized that he had come to visit Minister Wang, but ended up complaining and grumbling. His ideological realm was different from that of the old revolutionary.

But I still feel a little regretful that I didn’t meet Sister Wang Fang today.

It hasn’t been all bad these days, at least I don’t feel like I’m being stared at anymore.

With nothing to do, Li Dongfang rode his bicycle to the machine repair factory. He didn't know if Liang Ladi missed him. Now that he had lost his job in the machine repair factory, she might have trouble supporting her children with her own food ticket. He was the same, he actually forgot about it.

"Da Mao, what are you doing?" Li Dongfang saw Damao sticking his head out and looking around at the door from afar.

"Godfather!" When Damao saw Li Dongfang clearly, his eyes lit up and he ran over directly.

"Where are your brothers and sisters?"

"Godfather, they are all at home. Mom asked for leave to buy food today. I am waiting for her to come back here."

Li Dongfang touched Damao's head and said with a smile, "Let's go home. Godfather brought you some delicious food."

Slurp, Da Mao slurped his saliva and said, "Godfather is the best."

After saying that, he ran back to the house and called his brother to help get the things.

Li Dongfang poured a bag of flour into the jar and looked around. He hadn't been here for such a long time, so the meat and vegetables must be gone. Looking at the remaining steamed buns made of two grains of flour on the plate, he should not be hungry.

"Da Mao, come out and help me get something."

"Whose bicycle is this? Are there guests coming to our house?" Liang Ladi's voice also came from outside.

Li Dongfang opened the door and looked at Liang Ladi who was halfway holding up the car and talking. He smiled and said, "The father of the child is here to see the mother of the child."

Liang Ladi was startled, and turned to look at Li Dongfang. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she pouted slightly and said, "You...you knew to come. I thought you were tired of playing and didn't care about us anymore."

Li Dongfang walked up to her and wiped away the tears from her eyes, saying, "You don't believe in your own charm, or you don't believe in my character."

Liang Ladi looked around and found no one around, so she punched Li Dongfang on the chest and said, "This is outside, and people can see it."

"Hey, let's go inside and talk about it." Li Dongfang said with a smile, picking up the pocket on the back seat of the bicycle and going into the house first.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Damao and the other three lying on the table, staring at the braised food brought by Li Dongfang and swallowing their saliva.

"Mom, godfather brought a lot of delicious food." Ermao glanced at Liang Ladi and continued to stare at the braised food.

While the three children were focusing on the stewed food, Li Dongfang pinched Liang Ladi's perky buttocks and said, "Look how greedy the children are. Cut some for them first to satisfy their cravings."

Liang Ladi looked at the children in panic and found that none of them were paying attention to this side. Then she hit Li Dongfang in a scolding manner and said, "Why are you cutting it? It's not too late to eat it in the evening. We've eaten a lot at noon."

The three children turned their heads to look at him aggrievedly. Li Dongfang smiled and said, "Is it necessary to be so stingy? Eating now will not affect eating in the evening. Hurry up, the children are drooling."

Then he leaned close to her ear and said, "Hurry up and comfort the child. We haven't done anything yet."

Liang Ladi's face flushed immediately. She took the braised food on the table and cut a plate of it. She said, "Da Mao, take the brothers to wash their hands. You can only eat half of this plate. The remaining half can be eaten for dinner."

The three of them cried out and ran to the faucet to wash their hands.
