Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

After returning home, Li Tianyi did not let Xiao Zhou leave, but called him to the study.

Xiao Zhou didn't know why Li Tianyi wanted to talk to him about this, so he was still a little nervous.

Li Tianyi first comforted Xiao Zhou, and then told Xiao Zhou about his superior's arrangements. Xiao Zhou was very emotional at first, and he did not want to leave Li Tianyi to work somewhere else.

He has followed Li Tianyi for more than ten years. Li Tianyi treats him very well. He also knows that as he gets older, he is no longer suitable to be Li Tianyi's bodyguard.

But he was still reluctant to be transferred suddenly. Li Tianyi naturally saw Xiao Zhou's emotions, but there was nothing anyone could do about this kind of thing.

Li Tianyi asked Xiao Zhou to think about it carefully. Next Monday, the official document will be issued. This time, Xiao Zhou will be transferred to a department under the Ministry of Public Security and serve as the office director.

He also doesn't have to drive around. Although he needs to move out of the house allocated by the institute with his family, the Ministry of Public Security will also allocate a house to him, so he doesn't have to worry about where to live.

Xiao Zhou left Li Tian's family in a depressed mood and returned home. His wife saw that he looked sad just after returning home, so she came forward to ask him. Xiao Zhou told her that he was going to be transferred.

His wife, on the other hand, was relieved. She had known that this day would come. After all, her husband was no longer old enough to be a guard. She had reminded her husband before and asked him to apply for transfer.

But her husband was determined and he was unwilling to leave Li Tianyi. Now that this stone has finally fallen, she felt relieved.

Xiao Zhou's wife asked about the unit he would go to. Xiao Zhou said it was a department under the Ministry of Public Security, but he didn't know which office it was. The official transfer order would come next Monday.

Xiao Zhou's wife's face lit up with joy, but then she looked at her husband and quickly put away her joy. Working in the Ministry of Public Security means she won't have to leave the city, and her children won't have to change schools.

Since she already knew the result, Xiao Zhou's wife no longer paid any attention to Xiao Zhou, but went into the kitchen to cook. The child would be home from school soon, and she couldn't let the child go hungry.

On Li Tianyi's side, when Li's father and mother came home and saw their son cooking in the kitchen, they immediately went up to him and asked about his well-being.

Li Tianyi felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked about the health of the old couple. Li's father said they were both fine. They would go to the park when they had nothing to do, chat with the old men and women in the park, and live a comfortable life every day.

Li Tianyi was very happy that his parents could make new friends here. Old people should have their own lives and their own circle of friends, just like the elderly in rural areas. Groups of old men and women gathered at the entrance of the alley, gossiping about the neighbors' private affairs.

Of course, we are not advocating spreading gossip, but the elderly should have their own lives and cannot always revolve around young people, otherwise it is easy for them to lose themselves.

Seeing that his parents were fine, Li Tianyi relaxed. He waited for Xiaoxue to come back, and the family had a happy meal together.

In the next two days, Li Tianyi was on vacation at home, while Xiao Zhou was called to the institute. The superior sent comrades from the Organization Department to talk to Xiao Zhou. Although Xiao Zhou was mentally prepared, he still felt sad when he saw the comrades from the Organization Department.

After seeing off the comrades from the Organization Department, Xiao Zhou came to Li Tianyi's home. Li Tianyi called him to the study and talked to him for a long time. Xiao Zhou was still very young and could not stay by his side all the time, as this would delay his life.

When Li Tianyi went to the institute again, Xiao Zhou had already completed the handover procedures and left. His superiors assigned Li Tianyi a new guard, Xiao Zhao, who was a young and handsome man. After asking about his age, they found out that Xiao Zhao was only 23 years old this year.

Although Xiao Zhao is young, he is very capable, otherwise his superiors would not have sent him to protect Li Tianyi.

After Li Tianyi returned to the institute, he immediately called a meeting of all staff members, informed them of the partial relocation of the institute, and asked Deputy Director Zhou to arrange the transfer of personnel.

Afterwards, Li Tianyi went to the Military Commission and asked his old leader to send someone to take him to visit the new research institute.

The old leader immediately sent someone to show Li Tianyi the way. The few people were sitting in the car. It was fine in the city, but after leaving the city, the road became more and more bumpy and the route became more and more remote.

Li Tianyi complained in his heart, wondering where the superiors had put the research institute.

The car twisted and turned until it reached a valley. At the entrance of the valley, two soldiers with guns were guarding it. Li Tianyi took out his officer ID and asked the soldiers to register it, and then the car was allowed to pass.

Entering the valley, the terrain is flat, with asphalt roads crisscrossing and plants planted beside the roads. It is almost autumn now, so the leaves of the plants are a little yellow.

Looking into the distance, rows of bungalows are built there, and further away are two buildings.

Li Tianyi and his companions drove their car straight towards the building and soon stopped in front of it. Li Tianyi, Xiao Zhao, and the accompanying person got out of the car.

Led by the accompanying staff, Li Tianyi and his companions went up to the third floor and came to the division commander's office. Since they came to the military region, of course they had to visit the leader here first.

When I entered the commander's office, Commander Zhang was handling work. He had just been stationed here and there were a lot of things to do. When Commander Zhang heard the voice, he looked up and saw two people coming in.

The accompanying staff introduced the two parties. Li Tianyi and Commander Zhang shook hands and said some polite words.

Afterwards, Commander Zhang gave Li Tianyi a brief introduction to the situation of the military region. When Li Tianyi learned that there was no electricity here, he realized that the electricity used in the military region was transmitted by power lines pulled from dozens of kilometers away by the state.

Li Tianyi was very surprised, but then he thought about it and understood.

There is no village or shop nearby, and the cost of providing electricity here is too high. Moreover, once Li Tianyi ignites the controlled nuclear fusion reactor, the electricity generated there will be enough for the entire military region to use.

Li Tianyi thought secretly that it seemed that he had to speed up the process. He could use the current electricity in the short term, but this was not a long-term solution.

After saying goodbye to Commander Zhang, Li Tianyi and his team came to the building where the research institute was located. The buildings here were not tall, only 3 stories high. Fortunately, the entire institute was not relocating, otherwise there would definitely not be enough space.

I walked around here and got a general understanding of the situation here. The first floor is the office area, which is fully equipped with office facilities. As long as people come here, they can be there. The second floor is the laboratory, and the third floor is the dormitory. Anyone who wants to do scientific research here can live here.

After touring the ground, Li Tianyi and his companions came to the underground. The underground space here is very large. Through the elevator, Li Tianyi learned that the underground is also divided into three floors, and the equipment for controlled nuclear fusion reactions is placed on the third floor.

There were soldiers guarding the place, and their superiors told them that they would only let them pass after seeing Li Tianyi.
