Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Seeing that Sun Zhengguo agreed without hesitation, Professor Wu said with an apologetic look on his face.

"Zhengguo, I was the one who pushed for this. You may not know that many engineers from the Metallurgical Department were transferred away in the past few years. The few remaining ones are barely enough to keep up appearances and are not really useful. That's why I suggested assigning you there. This way you can still help me."

"Mr. Wu, this is actually quite good. The Ministry of Metallurgy is at least a ministerial unit. Many people can't get in even if they beg for it. But you can get it right away. Is there any better unit than this?"

"Hahaha……!"

"As long as you don't blame me, let's do this! Submit your thesis next year. I have the final say over our hometown. When the time comes, report it directly to the school leaders, and then the Ministry of Metallurgy will issue a document. This way, you can be assigned in advance, and even the internship period can be waived."

Seeing that Professor Wu had made such thorough arrangements, what could Sun Zhengguo say?

It’s actually quite good to work in a ministry, so just accept it quietly!

After discussing this matter, they started talking about some mechanical matters. After drinking a cup of hot tea, their bodies gradually warmed up.

Professor Wu looked at the time and decided it was almost time for him to rest, so he put down the empty teacup in his hand and walked towards the workbench.

When Sun Zhengguo and Chen Lianshan saw this, they quickly put down the teacups in their hands and followed suit, starting a busy and intense day of work.

With Professor Wu, a workaholic, taking the lead, the two of them had a very fulfilling time, and before they knew it, it was already afternoon.

Sun Zhengguo raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost time to get off work, and his wife was still waiting!

"Mr. Wu, I may have to leave work early. It's snowing heavily today and my wife is still at work. I'm a little worried and want to pick her up."

Professor Wu also knew that Sun Zhengguo's wife was pregnant, so he would definitely not have any objection. Besides, they were helping him for free, so this request shouldn't be unreasonable, right?

"Wait a minute. I have a few books here. Take them home and have a look. They are all books about rolling mill theory. They should be of great help to our work next year."

After Professor Wu finished speaking, he took out a few books from the drawer under the workbench and handed them to Sun Zhengguo. It was obvious that he had been prepared.

Taking the books, Sun Zhengguo casually flipped through the yellowed covers.

Although these books are outdated internationally, in today's New China, everything is in short supply and some things cannot be bought even with money, so these books are extremely precious.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu! These are the books I need. I will definitely cherish them and study their contents carefully."

"Go ahead! The road is slippery, be careful and take good care of your wife."

After bidding farewell to Professor Wu and Senior Brother Chen, Sun Zhengguo got into the car and drove leisurely to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

At the gate of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute, when Sun Zhengguo arrived, his wife had not yet gotten off work, so Uncle Zhou at the gate became the person he wanted to kill time with.

Handing over a cigarette, Uncle Zhou started telling stories about his youth, how he fought the White Devils and then the Little Devils. Sun Zhengguo's blood boiled after hearing this.

Just when we were hearing the exciting part, a familiar voice came from outside the house.

"Hey! Jungkook, I didn't expect you to come so early."

Hearing the shouting, Sun Zhengguo turned his head and looked outside the house. In addition to his wife, there was also Zheng Juan pushing a cart.

"It must be earlier. I can't let my wife wait for me! You are not alone now. You can't be careless about safety."

"Oh my! There are outsiders here! Can't you restrain yourself a little and show your affection at home?"

Zheng Juan on the side joked.

"Sister Juan, how can this be called a show? What's going on between us? Others may not know, but how can you not know?"

"Okay, okay, you guys continue. I won't disturb you. I still have to go home to cook. I'll leave first."

After Zheng Juan finished speaking, she rode away smiling.

Sun Zhengguo also picked up his wife and talked to Uncle Zhou next to him.

"Uncle Zhou, next time you have time, I will come to listen to your stories about fighting the Japanese invaders. I'm leaving now."

"Go ahead! Go slowly on the road."

After saying hello, Sun Zhengguo took his wife and drove leisurely towards the courtyard.

As night fell and the lights came on, the Sun family had finished their dinner. Lin Wencui also cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Looking at Sun Dajiang who was drinking tea, Sun Zhengguo thought of the work assignment. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to talk to his father.

"Dad, let me tell you something. I may have to graduate early and be assigned to a unit early."

"When did it happen? How come I don't know? I'm not going to assign you a bad job, am I?"

Sun Dajiang instantly lost his composure, put down his teacup, and asked several questions in a row, fearing that his son would suffer a great loss.

Seeing that his father had misunderstood, Sun Zhengguo quickly explained.

"Dad, it's not what you think. I graduated early because I had something to do, and the unit I was assigned to is not bad. I will most likely be assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy."

"What? Assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy?"

Sun Dajiang said in shock.

He thought his son had offended someone and was exiled to some deserted place.

Unexpectedly, the plot took a turn and the son went straight into the ministry.

But is it so easy to get into a ministry?

Sun Dajiang was a little bit unconvinced. Although I am not as educated as you, you can't lie to me.

"Come on, son, tell me what's going on. Let me analyze it for you."

In order to satisfy his father's curiosity, Sun Zhengguo recounted what he had discussed with Professor Wu during the day.

Halfway through the conversation, Lin Wencui, who had finished her housework, also came into the main room.

When I learned that my son was directly hired by a ministry and exempted from the internship period, I was so excited that I was speechless.

Lin Wencui must know how difficult it is to be assigned to a ministry, but her son directly reserved a place. How could she not be excited?

Sun Dajiang also believed his son's words because there were rumors in the factory that the rolling mill would be improved next year. He didn't expect that his son was involved.

"Brother, you've made a good assignment. I'm going to graduate next year and I don't know where I'll be assigned. Getting into a ministry is just a dream. I don't even dare to think about it."

Sun Zhengan on the side said enviously.

"You are a technical secondary school student, so it's impossible for you to be assigned to a bad job. I can't assign you to a farm machinery station in the countryside, right?"

"Hehe! Big brother, you never know, it's really possible. My second brother happens to be studying agricultural mechanization, which is a perfect match for me!"

Hearing his sister's teasing, Sun Zhengan's face turned even darker and he rolled his eyes at his sister.

The family talked about the assignment of work for a while but still couldn't come to any conclusion.

Sun Zhengguo saw his wife breathing heavily and thought she must be sleepy.

"Mom and Dad, I think Xiaowei is a little sleepy. Let's stop talking here today! I'll take her back to bed."

"Why are you still standing there, kid? Xiaowei is pregnant! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Go back now!"

Amid Lin Wencui's nagging, Sun Zhengguo fled and took his wife back to the courtyard.
