Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After a moment's silence, Sun Zhengguo raised his head and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Deputy Minister Bai, the Ministry of Metallurgy hurt you so badly, is it worth it for you to do this?"

"Comrade Zhengguo! You are still young and don't understand our generation. As long as the country can prosper, what does my personal gain or loss matter? This time, even if I owe you a favor, do you think it's okay?"

Faced with Vice Minister Bai's repeated request, Sun Zhengguo felt like a hero in his twilight years and was reminded of a song - "Twilight".

A feeling of desolation suddenly emerged in my heart.

This time he didn't have the heart to refuse, so he promised solemnly.

"Deputy Minister Bai, I promised you that after I finish the engine work, I will help the Ministry of Metallurgy to draw the drawings. I will keep my word."

"Thank you!"

Deputy Minister Bai stood up excitedly and clasped his two big hands together again.

……

Time soon came to noon, and during the meal, Sha Zhu was also called to the table because he was invited by Sun Zhengguo.

Perhaps it was because they were born to be compatible, or perhaps it was because Sha Zhu's straightforwardness infected Deputy Minister Bai, and the two of them actually had a very lively conversation.

This was something Sun Zhengguo had never expected, and he couldn't help but marvel at the power of the plot.

The three of them drank the wine brought by Sun Zhengguo, ate the delicious food made by Sha Zhu, and had a great chat.

After dinner, Sun Zhengguo asked again when the two would leave tomorrow, and then stood up to say goodbye.

Deputy Minister Bai and his wife accompanied them all the way to the door.

Only after the car had gone far away did the couple slowly walk into the house.

As the two walked and talked, Zhang Nan reminded him, "Lao Bai, today Zhengguo not only brought you tea and wine, but also the dishes we had for lunch."

"I know! But I can't repay the favor now, let's talk about it later!"

Deputy Minister Bai looked lonely. He walked into the house and then went to the study.

Zhang Nan was left alone, shaking his head and sighing in the living room...

the other side.

Sun Zhengguo went all the way back to the courtyard, but he did not get off the car. Instead, he took out 5 yuan and handed it to Sha Zhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, you've worked hard today. This is a small reward. I hope you don't think it's too little."

"No, no, no!" Sha Zhu quickly declined, "Zhengguo, I won't take the money. I followed you around today and ate, drank, and took things. I've already taken advantage of you. If I take money now, am I still a human being?"

Sun Zhengguo had actually anticipated such a result.

But he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he put the money in his pocket and took out a pack of Peony cigarettes that he had prepared long ago.

"Since you don't want money, you have to accept the cigarettes, otherwise you are looking down on me."

"this…?"

Looking at Sun Zhengguo's unquestionable look, Sha Zhu nodded helplessly, "Okay then! Thank you."

Then he asked, "By the way, Zhengguo, aren't you going in?"

"No, we have something else to do."

"Okay! Then you guys get busy."

Sha Zhu got out of the car very casually and then waved.

Sun Zhengguo nodded, then stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away into the distance.

Ning Xiaowei, who was sitting in the back of the car, couldn't help but feel curious, "Zhengguo, where are we going now?"

"Wife, there were quite a few people who helped us last time. This time I plan to thank your Uncle Zhang and Uncle Yang. We can't let them say we are impolite."

After listening to her husband's explanation, Ning Xiaowei suddenly realized why there were so many gifts in the back of the car.

Then she stopped asking questions and started telling some short stories to the children who couldn't sit still.

……

At night, it was pitch black outside, but at the gate of a certain military camp it was as bright as day.

Several figures walked out slowly from inside, chatting as they walked.

A young officer at the back was holding a child in his arms.

"Uncle, I want to be a soldier when I grow up. Look how powerful they are. They can carry guns and beat up bad guys."

"Hahaha!"

Ning Dazhuang couldn't help laughing when he heard his nephew's joke.

"Jungguk, this is your son's own request. You can't blame me for kidnapping him when the time comes."

"Okay! As long as he is willing, I have no objection." Sun Zhengguo said indifferently.

He will not interfere in the future development of his sons. It depends on their own abilities.

If they have the ability, they can add the icing on the cake.

If they don't have the ability, I believe they won't starve with their own abilities.

While they were talking, they had already arrived at the car. Sun Zhengguo opened the door, let the children get in first, then turned around and spoke.

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Yang, please stay here! Thank you for your hospitality today."

"Okay! Zhengguo, drive slowly on the road, but you have to control your temper in the future. After all, the current situation is different from the past."

"Yes! Zhengguo, don't blame our two uncles for nagging you. You are not alone. Think more about your family in everything and don't be impulsive in the future."

"Thank you for your kindness, uncles. I'm grateful for your advice."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, Ning Xiaowei also greeted them and said that the family would come to visit often, and then the two got in the car and left.

The journey was uneventful.

After returning home, Sun Zhengguo didn't expect that someone was waiting for him at home!

Liu Haizhong, that fat guy, is actually still waiting to report on his work.

Sun Zhengguo was also speechless.

"Wife, you take the kids to watch TV. I'll stay in the yard and chat with Second Uncle."

"Okay! Then you guys take your time chatting, Uncle." Ning Xiaowei said as she walked into the house with the children.

"Oh, oh!" Liu Haizhong nodded and bowed with a smile.

After Ning Xiaowei left, Sun Zhengguo pointed to a stool beside him and said, "Sit down! Second Uncle, what do you want to report to me?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just about some organizational changes. I don't quite understand some of them, so I want to ask Director Sun..."

After the two sat down, Liu Haizhong began to tell the story.

It turned out that after he had visited several times to show his loyalty, Li Huaide recently planned to make him the captain of the patrol team.

Logically speaking, Liu Haizhong should be happy about suddenly becoming an official.

But he was still a little worried, so he wanted to hear Sun Zhengguo's opinion.

After listening to his story, Sun Zhengguo shook his head and couldn't help but sneer.

"Uncle, if I told you not to do it, you definitely wouldn't want to do it. Since you're already willing to do it, why are you asking me?"

"Director Sun, I'm not afraid of not being able to keep up with the situation, so I want you to give me some advice! After all, you are such a senior official, and you can help me avoid a lot of detours."

OK! It seems that Liu Haizhong is really hopeless. Doesn't he have any idea of ​​his own weight?

Sun Zhengguo didn't know what to say to him. He could only give him some advice.

"Second uncle, remember this: forgive others when you can, so as to avoid being beaten up behind your back."

"That's all?" Liu Haizhong still didn't understand what it meant.

I waited here all night and then I changed my words.
