Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

At this time, Xinhua was urging Country M to restore the navigation system as soon as possible while seeking cooperation with other satellite chains.

However, this world is still dominated by countries M and S. Without the word of these two countries, no organization dares to take over Xinhua. The technological blockade against Xinhua is now quite serious.

At this time, some people remembered the plan submitted by Li Tianyi a few years ago to build his own national satellite chain.

Only at this time did the country truly believe Li Tianyi's prediction and began to pay attention to his report.

Although this matter costs a huge amount of money, the benefits are also huge. Now the country has begun to realize that no matter how hard they try, they cannot integrate into the world led by Western countries, so they can only work hard to develop themselves so as not to be bullied by others.

On Li Tianyi's side, he also selected more than a dozen college students with clean backgrounds to serve as students. The country had previously asked Li Tianyi how to develop the laser cannon weapon.

Li Tianyi put forward three requirements to the country. One was that he had to select college students with clean backgrounds and high talents to be his graduate students, and then he would lead them to start researching laser weapons.

The second point is that their salaries must be high. He cannot train people and then have them run away to follow others as soon as foreign institutions come. He does not want to make wedding clothes for others.

The third point is that no one and no organization can interfere with him and lead him. He only obeys the orders of the Great Elder, to which the Great Elder directly agreed. In fact, the Great Elder was also worried about handing over such a powerful weapon to others. He was afraid that Li Tianyi would be lured by others to do something that would harm the country. It was not that he did not trust Li Tianyi, but he was afraid that the temptation outside was too great and Li Tianyi could not control himself.

Now that Li Tianyi had proposed this point, it was exactly what the Great Elder wanted. After the three agreed, the state removed Li Tianyi from the position of director of the research institute. He had worked in this position for nearly 20 years. Although he was a little reluctant, he really didn't have time to manage these things in the future.

Later, the state arranged an office building for Li Tianyi in the military area outside the city of Sijiu, and his research laboratory was located here from then on.

Of course, he usually stays here. Originally, the country wanted him to bring his family here to live together, but after discussing it with Xiaoxue, he gave up the idea.

Xiaoxue is now semi-retired, and her main task is to look after Taipinglang and take care of Li's father and mother.

An An and Jin Hong are workaholics who work day and night, so Tai Ping Lang usually lives with his grandmother Xiao Xue, and Li's mother also helps to look after him.

If the whole family went to the military area, life would be a bit inconvenient, so the family decided that Li Tianyi would work in the military area during the weekdays and go home on weekends, since the distance between the two places was not too far anyway.

Just like that, five years passed in the blink of an eye. We were about to enter the 90s. Society was developing rapidly. Various shops lined the streets and passers-by were dressed fashionably.

There are more cars on the road, although bicycles are still the main force on the road at this time, and there are also a few motorcycles among them.

During these five years, Xinhua has been developing steadily. Although there have been no large-scale wars, small frictions on the border still occur frequently. Nowadays, the probability of a large-scale war in the world is very small, but local wars often occur. For example, Country S invaded Country A for nearly ten years, and Country S has also been stuck in this quagmire.

This year, Country S can no longer afford to waste time and can only announce the withdrawal of its military from Country A's territory. In recent years, Country A has often come to Country Xinhua to purchase weapons. Except for a few of its own national defense weapons, all other weapons of Country Xinhua are exported to Country A in large quantities.

The money from exporting weapons has been used to vigorously develop aerospace. In recent years, Xinhua has launched many satellites, including two navigation satellites.

Although its role is not as great as that of satellite links, it can still be used to navigate a country's weapons.

The country had previously launched a large express, which also silenced some countries in the world.

As for the Li family, Doudou has married Qin Yun and now has a two-year-old son who is still being taken care of by Xiaoxue.

Taipinglang was already in kindergarten at that time. After sending him to kindergarten every day, Xiaoxue would go home to take care of Doudou's children, Ping'anlang and Li Zhiyuan.

Both pairs of parents were hands-off managers. After they had their children, they just left them to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue had already retired early at this time. With three adults taking care of two children every day, their life was not boring at all.

Although Country M had been investigating the location and launch site of the red light for two years, it still found nothing. After that, Country M's satellite slowly returned to its original position. Xinhua Country continued to use Country M's navigation, and Country M did not say anything. Not long after that, the people investigating the red light withdrew.

But whether they really retreated or hid in the dark is not known.

Back at the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng and his wife and Sha Zhu, who had originally been partners in business, have now parted ways.

This matter was actually the fault of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li. They had originally promised to give a share of the profits to Sha Zhu at the end of the year, but the two of them became greedy and wanted to embezzle a part of it since there was a lot of money at the end of the year. However, they had no idea that Sha Zhu was also on guard against them.

It can be said that Sha Zhu has worked in the kitchen for his entire life. He knows exactly how many dishes and ingredients are used every day. What's more, he reports the number to his wife every day when he gets home, and Sha Zhu's wife writes it down in a notebook.

Although Sha Zhu didn't know how many customers came in, he knew the number of dishes in the kitchen. If there weren't so many people eating, the dishes wouldn't be consumed.

At the end of the year, the trick of Yan Jiecheng and his wife was exposed. After Sha Zhu got his dividend, he took Ma Hua and left Yan's restaurant directly.

After a while, Sha Zhu bought the shop and opened a small restaurant. His wife greeted people in the front, he and Ma Hua cooked in the back, and they hired a waiter to serve the food. Believe it or not, the small restaurant soon became popular.

Later, Yan Jiecheng and his wife regretted their decision, but when they went to look for Sha Zhu again, Sha Zhu refused to come back. They had no choice but to hire a chef from society.

Although this chef's skills are no worse than Sha Zhu's, his price is high, which made the stingy Yan Jiecheng and his wife feel distressed for a long time.

What about the other people in the courtyard? At this time, the courtyard had undergone earth-shaking changes. Except for the Yan family, the He family, the Yi family, the Jia family, the Xu family, and the Liu family in the backyard, the other families had basically moved away.

So now the courtyard is very empty. The Liu family, Liu Haizhong and his wife are already old, the second aunt even had a stroke, and their three sons are not around.
