The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

Jin Gui didn't know Chang Haonan's identity until he got off the bus the next morning.

But the latter has secretly remembered the other party's needs and will definitely give him a surprise in the future.

In the 90s, due to the lack of communication means, under normal circumstances, holidays were really holidays, not working from home.

The chat with Jin Gui on the train could only be regarded as an unexpected gain. Even if Chang Haonan wanted to do something right away, he couldn't find enough people.

So the original plan remains unchanged and we will continue to go home for the New Year.

……

After struggling until the evening of the same day, he finally returned to his hometown——

A typical small northeastern county that has become somewhat dilapidated.

Before rebirth, after Chang Yuanchao and Zhou Li retired, they moved to downtown Liucheng at the strong request of Chang Haonan and Chang Jiayao.

In fact, if the two elders were not nostalgic and unwilling to go too far, the brother and sister originally planned to arrange for them to retire in Qiong Province, known as the fourth province in Northeast China.

Counting before his rebirth, Chang Haonan has actually not been back here for more than ten years.

So much so that it even took him a while to find the right location after he got off the bus at the gate of the Family Courtyard of the Public Security Bureau.

Because it has already passed the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, there is a New Year atmosphere both on the street and in the compound.

I met several people who could call him by name on the road, but Chang Haonan couldn't remember any of them, so he had to pretend to be enthusiastic and deal with them casually.

……

Standing at the door of the familiar yet unfamiliar Tongzi Tower, Chang Haonan was holding his luggage in his hands, but he was a little unable to move forward.

He planned to sort out his emotions first.

But before he could adjust, he heard a crisp voice coming from above his head:

"elder brother--"

Chang Haonan subconsciously raised his head and saw a head sticking out of a window on the third floor.

He waved toward the stairs.

Even though it's a bit unfamiliar, I can still recognize it. It's the way my sister looked in my memory when she was in high school.

Chang Jiayao's shouting dispelled her timid feeling of being close to home.

As for family, why do you think so much?

Chang Haonan strode in and went upstairs.

The door to the house has been opened, and Chang Yuanchao is waiting at the stairs, wearing a green police uniform shirt with all the logos removed.

"Xonan."

The father in front of me is less than 50 years old and in his prime.

The father in my memory has gray hair and is much thinner.

Chang Haonan took a deep breath and stopped the soreness in the corners of his eyes.

"dad."

The two images gradually overlapped.

He stepped forward and wanted to give her a gentle hug.

However, Chang Yuanchao opposite him obviously couldn't feel the mixed feelings in his son's heart.

He is the kind of traditional father figure who is not very good at expressing his feelings for his children.

Besides, for him, the father and son were only separated for a year.

There is definitely something to miss, but it doesn’t seem to be such an exaggeration.

"Hey, hey, haven't you been back for the whole summer? What's going on?"

Chang Yuanchao stretched out his hand to block Chang Haonan, and took the travel bag carried by the latter with his other hand:

"Let's go, your mother has prepared the meal and is waiting for you to come back."

Chang Haonan followed his father and walked into that small home, but full of warm memories.

"Xiaonan, change your clothes, wash your hands and eat."

Zhou Li was dressed in casual clothes and put the two bowls in her hands on the table while greeting her.

Inside is Chang Haonan’s favorite braised noodles.

Chang Yuanchao followed closely behind and entered the house. After closing the door, he put the slippers he had prepared long ago on the ground.

At this time, Chang Jiayao also rushed out of the house and took the two bags together.

"Brother, you are finally back."

Looking into his sister's eyes, Chang Haonan knew that she probably still had half a sentence left to say:

"Did you bring me a gift?"

He nodded while changing his clothes:

"Yes, I'm back. I brought you gifts, which are in my schoolbag."

Chang Jiayao's eyes lit up.

But she didn't open the bag in the end.

Acting like a spoiled child is a spoiled child, but she still has basic manners.

In the end, Chang Haonan took out the prepared gifts himself.

"Oh~"

Chang Jiayao held the airplane model in the box and was obviously very satisfied.

"You kid... don't spend money randomly..."

Zhou Li, who took the gift box, said she was too honest and criticized spending money indiscriminately, but her face was full of smiles.

But when he saw the pen in his box and the watch that Chang Yuanchao took out at the same time, his expression suddenly stiffened:

"Xiao Nan, where did you... get so much money?"

Although she works and lives in a small county town, Zhou Li still has some discernment. At least she can see that these things are not cheap.

With Chang Haonan's monthly living expenses, unless he really needs to drink northwest wind, he will definitely not be able to save so much money.

In this era, although a few hundred yuan is no longer a huge amount of money, it is definitely not a small amount.

Especially for a student.

"The school provides scholarships and bonuses for the research team's projects."

Chang Haonan explained calmly.

He didn't lie. It was indeed a bonus given to the research team for the project.

It's just not issued by the research team.

In order to increase credibility and make Zhou Li completely relieved, Chang Haonan also took out an award certificate from his schoolbag.

It's the Science and Technology Commission scholarship that Tang Lintian mentioned before, with a total of 1000 yuan.

Of course he could understand his mother's reaction, which was that she was worried that she would take some evil ways to make money.

Sure enough, after seeing the signature and seal on the certificate, Zhou Li immediately felt relieved.

"My son is going to be successful..."

She whispered in a brisk tone while walking into the house and replacing the pen she had been using before.

On the other side, although Chang Yuanchao had been silent, he had already put the watch on his wrist quickly, and began to think about how to make colleagues pay attention to the watch in a less deliberate way, and how to lead the conversation. Go to the source of the table...

In fact, Chang Haonan originally considered buying a unit-style commercial house for his parents in the county town.

Although this tube building has many warm memories, it does not change the objective reality of poor living conditions.

It's fine for one or two people, but it's really not a pleasant experience for a whole family of three or four to squeeze into an area of ​​about 20 square meters.

However, looking at the second elder's reaction, he decided not to tell anyone about the six-figure sum of money in his bankbook yet——

Afraid of scaring them.

take it easy.

Fortunately, Chang Jiayao will also go to school in the second half of the year, so the family will be a little more relaxed.

After everyone collected their gifts, the whole family sat together and started eating dinner.

"By the way, brother, I thought I saw you on the news before.

Chang Jiayao looked at the news playing on the TV and said:

"Around the end of October, I was reporting on the Shengjing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and there was a figure from behind next to the plane, who looked very much like you."

It even took Chang Haonan about two seconds to remember that it was during the J-8C's full test flight. He touched the still hot skin after the plane landed.

It really surprised him that his sister could recognize him from his back.

However, Chang Haonan still had to maintain the consistency of his previous statement, so he still shook his head:

"Probably not. Our research team is at the 603 Institute, which is Haojing, and is responsible for the domestic regional passenger aircraft project."

"All right……"

Chang Jiayao, who didn't get the answer she wanted, sounded a little disappointed, and seemed to be half-convinced about the explanation:

"I thought you designed that beautiful fighter jet."

In fact, her guess was quite close to the truth.

"I'm just telling you, no matter how good your brother is, we can't let a student who hasn't graduated from a bachelor's degree just touch an airplane."

Chang Yuanchao had an expression that said, "I've guessed it a long time ago."

Chang Jiayao opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

At this moment, a piece of news attracted the attention of the two brothers and sisters:

A passenger plane crashed while landing in the Alps. The specific cause of the crash is still under investigation.
