Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

He took a sip with a squeak, smacked his lips, exhaled the smell of alcohol, and said with a look of enjoyment: "This is the taste, so delicious, wow."

Chief Engineer Qian looked at him blankly and said, "You really have forgotten the criticism you received last time? Or are you too drunk to walk?"

As he spoke, he smiled and shook his head. After all, everyone has some hobbies. Chief Engineer Qian also likes to have a drink, but he never drinks excessively. He basically stops when he’s drunk enough.

The three of them drank and chatted. Li Dongfang talked about many things happening in the old city. Chief Engineer Qian and General Chen were fascinated by what they heard. After all, they had been in this remote place for too long and felt like they were out of touch with society. They didn't know a lot of information and couldn't see many scenes.

Just like this, people of this era will abandon their wives and daughters and leave their homes to go everywhere as long as they say that the country needs you. Li Dongfang was moved by these people and felt sad for them. This is the sadness of the times and also the tragedy of this era.

After eating and drinking, Li Dongfang was taken to the accommodation arranged for him to rest.

General Chen, who was already bleary-eyed and drunk, wiped his face, and his drunkenness faded away. His eyes became clearer and he said to Chief Engineer Qian, "This kid doesn't seem to be simple."

Chief Engineer Qian didn't drink much to begin with. He took a sip of tea from his cup and said calmly, "It's really not simple. What formulas can a simple person come up with? With these, our progress will be at least two years ahead of schedule. Do you believe it?"

General Chen nodded and said, "You are an expert in this, but that's not what I'm talking about. I just contacted the military before I came here. Do you know how much this guy has done in the Forty-Nine City?"

Chief Engineer Qian also became interested after hearing this, but he still laughed and scolded: "Why are you keeping me in suspense? Just say it if you have something to say."

General Chen smiled and said, "He is so curious. He is an expert in medicine. He has also improved steelmaking technology, provided integrated circuit technology, and developed automobile engine design and missile infrared sensor systems."

General Chen stopped to drink some water. Chief Engineer Qian asked in surprise, "So amazing! He is so young, but any one of these things is enough to make him famous."

General Chen curled his lips and said, "That's not all. What's even more amazing is that he designed a new twin-engine fighter. The test flight has basically been completed. The maximum speed tested is Mach 3. And it's not the limit. It's because the pilot couldn't bear it and fainted!"

"This...how is this possible? Do we have an engine with such a powerful thrust?" Chief Engineer Qian couldn't believe it.

"He also designed the engine, so I said he was a bit unusual."

"It's more than just not easy, it's too easy. I can see that when he talked about our research project today, he seemed a bit disdainful, as if he looked down upon it." Chief Engineer Qian said thoughtfully.

"No way, he doesn't even like this thing?!" General Chen's eyes widened.

"Anyway, I have this feeling, but I'm not sure whether it is true or not." Chief Engineer Qian shrugged and said helplessly.

"It's a pity that I can't keep him here, otherwise I would have to squeeze more out of him." General Chen said with some regret.

Upon hearing this, Chief Engineer Qian's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this? I'll go and file a report right away."

General Chen reached out and grabbed him, saying, "Don't even think about it. From what I've heard from the people in Sijiu City, he still has a lot of use and he will definitely not leave us here."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Chief Engineer Qian pushed General Chen away and walked towards the desk.

General Chen stood up, twisted his stiff neck and said, "Then I won't care about you anymore. I'm going to sleep first."

The next day, Li Dongfang followed General Chen and Chief Engineer Qian back to the base. Chief Engineer Qian took Li Dongfang to meet his parents. Li Dongfang couldn't refuse Chief Engineer Qian's kindness, so he only took Lin Shu with him.

The others returned to the guesthouse first.

Li Dongfang's parents had obviously received the notice in advance. As soon as Li Dongfang and Chief Engineer Qian entered his office, his parents came over.

Li Dongfang originally thought that he would not be very close to his parents, after all, he was a time traveler. However, when he saw the two elders who looked a little haggard, a strong sense of intimacy immediately arose from the bottom of his heart. It should be the feeling of being connected by blood in the body.

"Dad! Mom!" Li Dongfang just shouted, and he felt something blocking his throat and his nose felt a little sour.

His dad was fine and was able to remain calm on the surface, but his mom was so excited that she was about to cry.

He stretched out his hand and pulled Li Dongfang to look him over, muttering, "You've lost weight. How come you've lost weight?"

Li Dongfang's originally heavy mood suddenly disappeared and he almost laughed. It turns out that no matter what era it is, parents will always feel that you have lost weight.

"Mom, you have such a look in your eyes. I have gained several pounds in this year!" Li Dongfang smiled and took his mother's hand and sat down.

Pah! Mom raised her hand and slapped him on the arm and said, "I said you've lost weight, so I'll make you something delicious later to replenish your body."

Chief Engineer Qian was also very perceptive and said, "Old Li, you guys can chat first. I have something to take care of. Let's have a drink together later."

"Uncle Qian, you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us. We'll do as we please." Before Old Li could say anything, Little Li interrupted with a smile.

"How can you talk to Mr. Qian like that? You're so disrespectful. I'll deal with you later." Old Li glared at Li Dongfang.

Chief Engineer Qian also waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Lao Li, you gave birth to a good son, and we hit it off right away. Let's have dinner together and talk about it later. I have to go check it out first."

It seemed that Chief Engineer Qian really had something to do, and as he spoke, he pushed the door and went out.

Seeing Chief Engineer Qian leave, Li Dongfang's mother noticed Lin Shu standing aside, a little nervous. Her eyes lit up and she asked Li Dongfang, "What is this..."

"Oh, this is my bodyguard, assigned to me by the Security Bureau." Li Dongfang said deliberately, looking at his mother's playful eyes.

As expected, when Li Dongfang said this, his mother immediately looked disappointed. "What have you done this year, you little brat? You didn't even bother to find me a wife!"

Li Dongfang chuckled and said, "Mom, don't be impatient. I haven't finished yet. She is also your daughter-in-law." He added two words in his mind.

Bang! His mother immediately slapped Li Dongfang on the arm again, "You little bastard, are you itching for trouble? Are you kidding me?"

"Hey, didn't I want to give you a surprise? Hey, don't do it..." His mother didn't want to talk to him and slapped him directly.
