Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Father Yu's resignation went very smoothly. Within a week, Father Yu handed over his work and became the former captain.

This time, it was He's father who took over his position as team leader.

Of course, this was not a secret operation by Yu's father, but was nominated from within the brigade. After all, He's father had a very good reputation in the village and was very popular.

However, Yu's father was also very satisfied with this result. Although he was no longer the team leader, the team leader was still one of his own. This was undoubtedly the best result for the Yu family who still needed to live in Fenghe Village.

After things in the village were settled, Yu's father took Yu's mother to the city and lived in the house he had allocated at the research institute.

Originally, Yu's father and mother wanted to take Grandpa and Grandma with them to the county so that the whole family could be taken care of. But Grandpa and Grandma refused to go, saying that the village was their roots, and they had a house and land in the village, so they had to leave someone at home to look after it.

Moreover, they are not so old that they need care, so there is absolutely no problem even if the old couple stays at home alone.

In the end, Yu's father and mother couldn't persuade their own parents, so they had to ask the He family to help take care of the child. Yu's mother didn't have a proper job, so even if she didn't go home every day, she would come home every two or three days to visit.

The Yu family finally returned to peace, and Yu's father finally got what he wanted and could immerse himself in his laboratory all day. Except for the fact that he didn't come home on time every day and had irregular meals, which made Yu's mother a little dissatisfied, everything else was harmonious.

Half a month later, Yu Jiang received an email containing a stack of information, a total of thirty pages, all of which were files of retired soldiers.

Yu Jiang understood. This was the assistant that Lu's father had prepared for her!

Yu Jiang naturally trusts Lu's father. The person chosen by Lu's father for him must have no problems with his background in all aspects.

Yu Jiang knew that she couldn't take in more than 30 people at once, but she didn't want to let them go. So someone's plan was to take advantage of her father.

When Father Yu saw these lists and files, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. These people were at least junior high school graduates!

Although they cannot be researchers, since their laboratory's original ideas are already complete, it is more than enough for those veterans to be assistants in the laboratory!

Not to mention that these people have no problems with their backgrounds. Although they have some physical injuries and are not suitable for the front line of the army, they still have some strength. They are naturally the most suitable people to assist these "weak" researchers in their research.

"How are they? The people my father-in-law got me are absolutely reliable! I can only need ten people at most this time. For the remaining twenty or so people, Dad, can you see if your laboratory needs any more staff, or ask other research laboratories?"

Father Yu was extremely satisfied. He asked Yu Jiang to pick ten people first, and then he picked seven people himself. He would hold a meeting with the rest later and ask which old friends needed them.

As expected, those who could lead the project team were not fools. They soon realized that these retired soldiers seemed to have nothing to do with their research, but were actually very useful.

Soon the conference room of the research institute turned into a noisy supply and marketing cooperative. The team leaders who had always been disdainful of their seriousness turned into aunties fighting for food. If they did not have some moral integrity, they would probably have fought for one or two places!

In the end, it was Yu's father who made the final decision and asked several team leaders to report the number of people they needed. If there were not enough places this time, then it would be fine. He would apply to the higher-ups and get another batch of places.

And under everyone's eager eyes, Yu's father also guaranteed that he would definitely approve their application in the shortest possible time, and the quality of the next batch of personnel would definitely not be worse than this one!

OK, everyone is satisfied now...

Father Yu sighed: Oh! He is such a coward as the dean! All those researchers are masters, and he could be a master, but he became a soldier under the masters...

Father Yu once again questioned his previous decision: Why did he not think positively and become the dean?

However, the culprit who caused all these troubles, Yu Jiang, Yu's father's eldest son, did not know about it, and his father did not bring these things to Yu Jiang's presence.

When Mr. Lu learned that his in-laws' laboratory could recruit a group of people, although he wanted to thank his daughter-in-law who had initially facilitated this matter, he only made a subtle phone call to express his gratitude.

But then Lu's father called Lu Beiyuan and praised his daughter-in-law in front of his son.

Yu Jiang heard all this from Lu Beiyuan's retelling. Lu Beiyuan's tone at the time was full of helplessness and laughter, but Yu Jiang only listened to it for a moment and then continued to immerse himself in his research, paying no attention to the outside world.

When the ten veterans first entered the Yu Jiang Laboratory, they were very uncomfortable. After all, although they did not retire at a normal age, most of them were over 25 years old, and some were even in their 30s.

Suddenly walking into a group of young people who were all under 30 years old, with the youngest being only 17 years old, and being taught and commanded by them...

To be honest, if they hadn't been in the army for many years and the awareness of obeying orders was not ingrained in their bones, otherwise, just based on their age, they would not want to work here.

But soon, everyone used their own strength to convince these veterans to obey their orders. It was rare for everyone in the laboratory to see such a cooperative assistant who never said too much at inappropriate times.

All in all, it was a pleasure for both parties to cooperate!

Now each group's experiment is on track. Although there are still some things they don't understand, they can ask Yu Jiang for guidance during his free time or during his daily Q&A time, and there won't be any big problems.

Before he knew it, it was Yu Jiang's nineteenth birthday.

Because he had been busy with computer matters during this period, Yu Jiang had not thought about his birthday at all.

In the past, Yu's mother might have asked Yu Jiang to go home for dinner and relax for a while, but since moving into the dormitory of the research institute, Yu's mother has also witnessed how busy the researchers are and how they work day and night.

They are simply a bunch of people who are so obsessed with research that they can go without food or sleep for three days and three nights!

Yu's mother initially forced them to go home for three meals a day, but her attitude has changed to: the food is there, come back to eat if you want, as long as you don't starve to death. The main goal is to be like the families of other researchers.

So even though she remembered her daughter's birthday, Yu's mother still didn't ask her to do anything. She quietly prepared the longevity noodles so that if Yu Jiang came back early today, they could still have a meal.

If it's too late...

Then just eat the clumpy noodles yourself!

Of course, Yu Jiang himself was not aware of all this, and Lu Beiyuan, who never forgot Yu Jiang's birthday, never mentioned this matter, so it was natural for Yu Jiang to forget.
