"No, he died young." His tone was somewhat dejected.

Now the country is still recovering, and there is a severe shortage of project funds. Many projects are national priorities. Not only are materials scarce and lack precision, but even funds are not in place. Countless projects have been suspended for this reason.

"Let's go to the office." Gu Tian brought the old man, who had lost his energy, into the office and poured him a glass of water.

After a while, the life assistant came with a lunch box.

"Mr. Jiang, eat first! Think about other things after you finish eating!"

Watching the assistant coaxing Mr. Jiang to eat, Gu Tian went over the few plot details in his mind again.

She didn't know what mission her father and brother were on when they died, but her brother is now building the Tianshan Duku Highway. It was very difficult at the beginning. It started in August and was forced to stop in December and January due to weather reasons. In February, there was less snow, so the troops and related personnel immediately started to move, working overtime in the hope of catching up with the progress they had fallen behind. She hasn't seen her elder brother for three months.

After Mr. Jiang finished his meal and his personal assistant cleaned up, he went on to catch other big guys who were unable to take care of themselves.

This job is so exhausting! Ugh! It's so exhausting!

Before Gu Tian could even begin to ask, Elder Jiang moved his stool next to him and whispered, "Tiantian, help me calculate this equation."

Mr. Jiang casually picked up a piece of white paper on the table, took out a pen from his pocket, began to write down the equation, and then started to solve it.

Looking at this equation, as well as Jiang Lao's solution process and results, he only said one sentence: "It can pass but failed. The material is very important!"

"Material? Material!! Yes! Material!! Haha!! It turns out it's a material problem!!" Then he hurried to the laboratory.

Gu Tian picked up the paper on the table and threw it into the hand-cranked machine to crush and destroy it.

After coming out of the research institute, Gu Tian went straight to his father's office.

"Hello, I'm looking for Chief Gu."

The door to the chief's office was locked. Even the assistant working in front of the door was gone! The door to the political commissar's office next door was also locked!

He frowned and went downstairs, and saw Chief of Staff Wang lock the office door and leave quickly.

"Uncle Wang, have you seen my dad?"

Hearing the call, Staff Officer Wang turned around and saw that it was the chief's daughter. He nodded and replied, "Your father has something to do and probably won't be back these few days. You stay home obediently, okay?"

"Okay, Uncle Wang, go get busy!"

"Okay." Then he left quickly.

Hiss~ You’re quite anxious!

After returning to the research institute, Gu Tian was drafted by Mr. Jiang.

Could someone tell her that shouldn't professionals polish such precision parts? Why let a layman like her do it?

They say it's because she has good eyesight! You're kidding!

Complaining in his heart, Gu Tian, ​​with very honest hands, stayed there with tweezers, squinting his eyes and carefully grinding it, measuring, grinding it again, and measuring again.

Before she knew it, it was dark. Seeing that her daughter and husband had not returned yet, Tang Wan decisively went to look for her daughter.

"Gu Tian, ​​your mother is looking for you!" Mr. Jiang's assistant tiptoed to Gu Tian's side and spoke only when he saw that Gu Tian was not polishing but comparing the sizes.

"Okay, thank you." After saying thank you, Gu Tian stretched his stiff neck and spine, then stood up and walked out of the laboratory.

"mom."

"Nannan, are you busy? Have you eaten? Remember to rest!"

"It's okay. I was drafted into the army. I'll be done with just a little bit. By the way, I ran into Uncle Wang this afternoon. He said Dad has something to do and probably won't be back for a few days."

"Okay, I got it. Remember to come back early when you're done! Did you bring your keys?"

"Yeah, I've got it! Mom, you go back first!"

By the time Gu Tian finished processing all the parts, it was already late at night!

He picked up the spring and handed it to Mr. Jiang who was correcting the data: "Grandpa Jiang, this material is not good!"

It deforms too easily! Once deformed, it will either jam or explode!

"Tiantian, our technology can only..."

Everyone knows what was left unsaid, and it’s frustrating but we have to accept the reality!

Elder Jiang broke the silence in the laboratory: "Alright, everyone go back and rest, and recharge your batteries! We still have a lot of room for improvement!"

"is teacher!"

"It's the professor!"

Everyone left in twos and threes.

The way home was quiet. Although there were soldiers patrolling with flashlights from time to time, the pitch-black road was still a bit scary.

When I was almost home, I saw a figure sneaking around my door.

Gu Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he squinted his eyes to look around to see if there was anything he could use.

Then he touched the earthen bricks that the aunt next door used to surround her vegetable garden and tiptoed closer.

Before he could raise the brick and take the photo, a dark shadow grabbed his wrist.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" the soprano voice suddenly soared.

"Daughter! Daughter! It's me! Daddy! It's Daddy!"

Although the screams stopped, they still alarmed everyone.

Lights lit up in the houses around them, and the sound of hurried footsteps coming from a distance indicated that the patrol would arrive at the scene in 10 seconds.

Shame on you! What a shame!

The moment his wife opened the door, the light made him nowhere to hide.

"It's okay, it's okay! I forgot to bring my keys and scared my daughter! Sorry for disturbing everyone! Let's all go home! I'm really sorry..." Gu Shengguo apologized to the neighbors around him, and then asked the soldiers who were led here to continue patrolling.

Seeing his daughter holding a brick and looking doubtful about life, the husband was so embarrassed that he wanted to escape. Tang Wan chuckled and said, "Come in! Father and daughter are ready to be door gods at the door! And put what you have in your hands back!"

Gu Tian glared at his unreliable father and went back to his room.

"Pfft, you're done!"

"What's wrong, wife?"

"You've been written down in your daughter's notebook!"

"what?"

"Nothing, you'll know later!"

The next day, it was as if nothing had happened. I worked, ate, worked, and got off work.

Nothing happened for several days.

Gu Shengguo had long forgotten his wife's warning.

"Aunt Li, you don't know that my dad farts when he eats soybeans. I used to think he just didn't like them!"

"Oh, really! How did you find out?"

"Hey, wasn't it just a few days ago that my mother made a pot of meat to eat? I wanted to eat soybeans, so I put soybeans in it. And then..." An expression that everyone understood.

Sure enough, everyone raised their eyebrows and nodded in unison, understanding everything!

Mrs. Fang, who was knitting, smiled and said, "You're exposing your father's shortcomings like this, aren't you afraid of being beaten by your father when you go back?"

"What are you afraid of? I have my mom!"

"Hahaha"

Then, within a few days, everyone in the family compound knew about Commander Gu’s excessive consumption of soybeans and excessive farting. If the family members knew about it, how could the officers, both high and low, not know about it!

Finally, Political Commissar Qian of Warriors went to have a drink with Gu's father while holding a bowl of fried soybeans, but was dragged away for training.

On the last evening of April, Gu Shijing returned.

His face was weather-beaten, his eyes were red, and his lips were chapped, which made Tang Wan and Gu Tian feel distressed and he kept following him around the whole night.

Gu's father, filled with jealousy, glared at his son all night long.
