Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

The car arrived at the Military Commission compound. Li Tianyi went straight to the old leader's office and was about to knock on the door, but was stopped by the old leader's secretary.

"Lieutenant General Li, the commander is meeting with guests now. Please come over here and wait for a moment." Then he led Li Tianyi to another room to wait.

Li Tianyi did not force it and came to sit in the room. The secretary brought Li Tianyi a cup of tea. After thanking him, Li Tianyi asked the secretary to keep an eye on it and help pass the message when the leader was free.

The secretary nodded in agreement and then walked out of the room.

Li Tianyi was bored and stayed here with his eyes closed to rest. After more than an hour, the secretary came in and said that the leader was free now. Li Tianyi immediately stood up and walked out.

Entering the old leader's office, the old leader was sitting on the sofa and waving to him, so Li Tianyi walked over and sat down.

"Tianyi, are you getting impatient?" the old leader said with a smile.

"No, it's just a good time to take a break." Li Tianyi quickly shook his head to deny.

"You are not young anymore, you must make sure to get enough rest. Otherwise, you might damage your body." The old leader warned worriedly. He knew Li Tianyi's habits. As long as there was a project, Li Tianyi would definitely carry out research and development on the front line, and sometimes he would even not have time to eat.

His old leader had previously told him to take care of his health, and Li Tianyi had agreed, but he forgot when it came to the matter.

"I know my old boss. I will apply for a vacation after this project is over. I haven't traveled since I started working. This time I plan to take my family to Hainan for a trip."

"Okay, I'll approve it for you when the time comes. In the past, I couldn't rest properly because of the situation. Now it's different. You can travel without worry."

"Thank you, old leader." Li Tianyi expressed his gratitude sincerely.

The old leader waved his hand and asked Li Tianyi to have some tea. After a few rounds of tea, the old leader asked Li Tianyi the purpose of coming here.

"Tianyi, you are a busy man and you wouldn't come here if you had nothing to do. What's the matter with you coming here today?"

"Commander, the battery for the nuclear submarine you instructed me to develop has been developed. I came here today to ask when it will be modified?"

"What?" The old leader stood up in shock. Maybe he stood up too suddenly, the old leader felt dizzy. Li Tianyi hurriedly supported the old leader and slowly helped him sit down.

"Commander, you are so old now, please take care of your health!"

The old leader sat for a long time before slowly recovering, "Xiao Li, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm too old and can't do the job anymore?"

Li Tianyi shook his head repeatedly, "Commander, I don't mean that. I'm just concerned about your health."

"Hmph, let's stop talking nonsense. Just now you said that the battery has been developed. How is its performance?"

"According to the data we calculated, the battery's theoretical capacity can support a nuclear submarine to circle the earth three times."

"Well, that's great. With this kind of battery, ocean voyages are no longer a dream for us."

This time the old leader didn't get up so quickly. He walked around the room while talking, and asked Li Tianyi some questions from time to time.

After asking almost all the questions, the old leader finally said, "Tianyi, go back and have a rest first, and also give the colleagues in the institute a few days off. I heard that you are a workaholic, and the people in the institute have been forced to work day and night by you."

"Let me discuss this with the elders first, and then I'll give you an answer."

Li Tianyi smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, then I'll wait for the news from the leader."

After leaving the Military Commission, Li Tianyi did not go home, but went back to the mountains with Xiao Zhao. Today he asked the people in the institute to rest, but did not inform them of the three-day holiday, so he still had to go back to make some arrangements.

When he came out of the mountain, it was already getting dark, and Xiao Zhao drove home.

In the next three days, Li Tianyi slept well at home for one day, and spent the remaining two days traveling around the city with his parents.

Now that the country has opened up, more and more foreigners are coming to New China to travel, especially in the old city, where there are even more foreigners.

Mr. and Mrs. Li often sighed that they were living in a good time. In the past, they could never have imagined the days when they had more flour than they could finish and could eat as much meat as they wanted.

In the past two days, in addition to taking his parents to various tourist attractions, Li Tianyi also took them to Li Huaide's company.

Although this place is not the kind of skyscrapers that exist in later generations, there are still several-story buildings standing here.

Li Huaide rarely saw his brother and sister-in-law, so he asked his secretary to take them around the company while he talked about business matters with Li Tianyi.

After thinking about it, Li Tianyi gave Lou Xiao'e's contact information to Li Huaide, asking Li Huaide to contact Lou Xiao'e when he is free to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two companies.

Li Huaide was very surprised that Li Tianyi had a company in Gangcheng. He always thought that his nephew's talent was in scientific research, but he didn't expect that he also had his own vision in business.

Thinking about the two in his own family, Li Huaide sighed in his heart. Although he had the protection of his old father-in-law and this nephew who was in the limelight, the two in his family could be considered to be on the rise. However, compared with Li Tianyi, they were like white clouds and black soil.

After sitting with Li Huaide for a while, Li Tianyi took her parents away. Then she took them to visit An An and Dou Dou's school. This was new to Li's father and mother as they had never been to a university before.

An An and Dou Dou were also surprised when they knew their grandparents and father were coming, especially Dou Dou. After running down from upstairs, he held on to Li's mother's hand and wouldn't let go.

Mother Li also looked at her grandson with love. She raised both of her grandsons and they have been close to her since childhood.

Several people had a meal in the university cafeteria and felt the university atmosphere. An An was able to enter the school thanks to Li Tianyi's relationship.

Due to the project, Li Tianyi has not been teaching at the school for more than a year, but he is still a professor at the National Defense University.

The atmosphere here is completely different from that of the Medical University. It is more like the military. Li Tianyi took the old couple for a walk and then came out. After receiving the notice, An An also came to say hello to Li's mother and others.

After two days, although Mr. and Mrs. Li were happy, they were also very tired. After all, they were both in their sixties and their physical strength could not keep up.

After settling Li's father and mother down and letting them have a good rest, Li Tianyi went to the Military Commission.

When he met his old leader, he was about to call him. When he saw him arrive, he put down the phone.

"Tianyi, it's a good thing that you're here. Let me tell you about the decision of the Council of Elders. Tomorrow the Military Commission will send a car to the mountain to pull the things out. Then, with you as the captain, we will organize a team to follow the car to the south."

"We have arranged for a nuclear submarine to dock. Once you arrive, we can arrange for the modification."
