Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

While the two were talking, Staff Officer Lu had already arrived at the laboratory and walked straight towards them.

"Professor Wu, I'm sorry to bother you. Could you please come with me to see someone?"

"Who are you meeting?"

Professor Wu didn't react for a moment.

"You'll know when you get there. It's a good thing anyway."

Staff Officer Lu did not say it directly, but kept it a secret.

After all, life is like this! There must be a sense of ritual. If he had just said Sun Zhengguo, there would be no surprise afterwards.

"Alright, alright! Really, Staff Officer Lu, you are not behaving yourself now! Hahaha!"

Professor Wu chuckled, put down the work at hand, and followed Staff Officer Lu out of the laboratory door.

The two of them soon arrived at the accommodation area. Staff Officer Lu brought Professor Wu to a place not far from the door and stopped on his own initiative.

"Professor Wu, the person is in the room, please go in by yourself! I won't disturb your gathering."

"You! You are just being mysterious."

Professor Wu did not appreciate it. After he finished speaking, he walked into the house.

At this time, Sun Zhengguo, who was waiting for someone in the house, seemed to sense something, stood up and walked out.

At the door of the house, the two of them met face to face as expected.

When Sun Zhengguo saw Professor Wu with a head full of white hair, he couldn't help but be moved. Thinking of the past, a trace of mist suddenly filled the corners of his eyes.

"Mr. Wu, are you okay? I'm Zhengguo."

"Jungguk, am I seeing things? Is it really you?"

Professor Wu hurriedly took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. In an instant, his eyes turned red.

Apart from his children in Hong Kong Island, the person he missed the most in these years was the famous apprentice in front of him.

He once thought that they would never see each other again in this life, but he didn't expect that they would meet in this way today.

God really treats him well.

"Mr. Wu, it's me, it's me. If you don't believe me, take a closer look."

As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo took a few steps forward so that the teacher could see clearly.

Professor Wu quickly grabbed his hand and nodded repeatedly.

"I see clearly, I see clearly, Zhengguo, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for more than ten years, you are still so young, not like me, your teacher!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I already have four children now. How can I not be old? Mr. Wu, come on, let's sit down and talk slowly."

"Good good."

Professor Wu also had a lot to say, so the two of them sat down at the table and began to talk about their experiences over the years.

Of course, Professor Wu has nothing much to say about this process. His main experience was eating sand in the Northwest, and he couldn't even talk about it.

Now what he wanted to hear was his apprentice's story.

Sun Zhengguo did not disappoint him and told him some key points of what happened after he left.

Gradually, as Sun Zhengguo told his story, Professor Wu learned more and more and solved many mysteries.

For example, why did Sun Zhengguo go to the Ministry of Machinery when he was doing well in the Ministry of Metallurgy?

After hearing this, Professor Wu was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, the apprentice is very hardworking and can make a name for himself wherever he goes.

Of course, it’s not all bad. For example, Sun Zhengguo helped Chen Lianshan, and Professor Wu was very happy when he heard about it.

This at least proves one thing, that Sun Zhengguo is a sentimental person and I was not wrong about him.

Later, Sun Zhengguo talked about his father and what happened after Chen Wanchun returned.

Hearing that his old friends are all doing well now, Professor Wu is truly happy for them.

Finally, Sun Zhengguo also told the story of Professor Zhang and others, and Professor Wu sighed after listening.

But fortunately, the danger was averted in the end and everyone was happy.

All of this is thanks to Sun Zhengguo. Thinking about his achievements over the years, Professor Wu couldn't help but praise him.

"Jungguk, you have done a great job over the years. The teacher has always been proud of you. The teacher also wants to thank you."

"I don't deserve Mr. Wu's praise. Speaking of which, after so many years, there is one thing that has been bothering me. I hope you can help me today."

Upon hearing this, Professor Wu was also confused. What do you want me to do?

But the next second, the answer was obvious. Sun Zhengguo poured a cup of tea and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Teacher Wu, you wanted to take me in as your apprentice, but I didn't know how to appreciate it. But you never gave up on me. After so many years, I wonder if you can drink this belated cup of tea."

"Zhengguo, you...you get up." Professor Wu choked up again, feeling extremely excited.

Although he has always regarded himself as Sun Zhengguo's teacher, the two have never acknowledged it in public!

Now all he had to do was drink this cup of tea to be justified.

However, Professor Wu did not like this, so he hurried forward and tried to pull Sun Zhengguo up.

But Sun Zhengguo had practiced martial arts and was in his prime, so it was definitely impossible for an old man like him to pull it up.

In desperation, in order to prevent his apprentice from kneeling all the time, Professor Wu had to take the teacup and take a symbolic sip.

Sun Zhengguo then kowtowed three more times, completing the true apprenticeship.

"Teacher, I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring anything good. Please keep these two bottles of wine for now. I will ask Staff Officer Lu to go to my house and get them later. I will take care of your wine from now on."

"Good good."

Professor Wu didn't take it seriously when he saw the student taking out two small black bottles from his bag.

After all, this was a token of his appreciation from the students. How could he reject it?

After the two of them reminisced about the past, Professor Wu looked at his watch and realized that an hour had passed.

"Jungguk, you are here with a mission as well. Let's talk about it in the evening. Come with me to the laboratory first and I will introduce you to some new friends."

"Okay, teacher."

Since officially becoming his disciple, Sun Zhengguo changed his way of addressing him. He no longer called him Mr. Wu, but simply called him Teacher.

After all, we are all educated people, and calling them master seems a bit petty. The word "teacher" is more appropriate.

Soon, the two arrived at the laboratory. Engineer Wan and others saw that Professor Wu had just returned, and then saw that there was a strange young man beside him, so they all surrounded him curiously.

"Old Wu! Who is this?"

"Hahaha!"

Professor Wu laughed out loud, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

"My dear friends, let me introduce you to my disciple, Sun Zhengguo. I'm sure you are all familiar with him, right?"

After listening to Professor Wu’s introduction, the laboratory instantly exploded.

"What? He is Sun Zhengguo, he is too young!"

"Old Wu! You're not lying to us, are you? I know your disciple is young, but he can't be this young?"

……

At this time, Engineer Wan walked forward, looked Sun Zhengguo up and down, and then shook his head.

"My young comrade, I have to say that you look good. You have been in the army for a few years. Have you got married? What benefit did Old Wu give you to let you pretend to be his apprentice?"

Hearing Engineer Wan's question, Sun Zhengguo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and bowed to everyone.

"My dear seniors, I am indeed Sun Zhengguo, absolutely genuine. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Director Ma."

"Really?"

Engineer Wan now believed it a little, because if the other party was really a soldier in the institute, he would definitely not call Director Ma like that, but would call him Chief.

"Um... Um... Hello, Director Sun. We are not worthy of the title of senior! If you don't mind, you can just call me Lao Wan."

Having said that, Engineer Wan didn't care what others thought and was the first to step forward and shake hands to express his welcome.
