After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 413, Episode 0447: I was just embarrassed.
The wedding banquet was a great success, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

The old man and Lin Yuexi left about halfway through the wedding banquet, as neither of them, regardless of their status, was suitable to stay in the crowd for an extended period.

When they returned to the hotel, their bodyguards were still eating. Zhang Hongying was always thoughtful in her work, and she hadn't forgotten anyone who was protecting them, whether they had come with her or were arranged by Wang Datou. Because they were all soldiers with good appetites, she had arranged for them to eat large portions and be full.

Lin Yuexi was very busy in the days that followed, so busy that even the old man didn't know what she was doing.

Life on Chongyang Island was peaceful yet lively, and within that liveliness lay an indescribable atmosphere.

The islanders found it strange; they hadn't heard of any family having a wedding, so why were people setting off firecrackers every now and then?

Zhang Hongying was already used to it. She didn't want to ask what her daughter was busy with. Her daughter wouldn't hide everything from her if she could tell her, but if she asked about things she couldn't tell her, the situation would be different.

Anyway, if she goes back to Beijing now, she'll just be staying at home alone, so she might as well stay on the island a few more days.

The old man didn't go back either. He had the same idea as Zhang Hongying, but the difference was that he handed over all his work to his grandson-in-law.

Leng Xingran and Leng Xinghui couldn't stay any longer. One of them was still in school, aiming for postgraduate entrance exams, and the other had to work. It was already quite difficult for them to take a few days off.

After Lin Yuexi 'disappeared', the old man and Zhang Hongying stopped staying in the hotel and moved into a temporary courtyard that Wang Datou had arranged for them in the family area.

Xu Shan and the others who were protecting Lin Yuexi had already left. If the old man stayed at the hotel any longer, the military would have to send more people to protect him, which the old man felt was unnecessary.

The old man himself didn't like the country wasting too many resources on him. He knew he was "an eyesore" and that many people were willing to risk their lives to protect him. So he usually stayed in the compound and didn't go out to avoid causing trouble for others. If he had to go out, he would pretend to be an ordinary person before leaving.

There are many people like the old man's generation who think this way. They have given a lot, but they always feel that it is their duty. They are willing to carry the burden because they have ideals, ideals that are ingrained in their bones.

But if you let them enjoy themselves, especially when they enjoy something special, they feel burdened. They feel that I've just done what I'm supposed to do, so how can I not waste those things on me? Yes, they feel that it's a waste.

Wang Datou originally planned to live in a large courtyard in the family quarters. When the old man found out that the courtyard had been occupied before, he was unhappy and scolded Wang Datou. Now, they live in a dilapidated courtyard that was already empty, several sizes smaller, and had been empty for a long time.

However broken it may be, it can still provide shelter from the wind and rain. It may look old and worn, but that doesn't affect its usability.

There's another advantage.

This is the old residential area in the family quarters. It was built by the soldiers who came to the island earliest. The layout is like a rural courtyard, which looks a bit rustic, but it is very sturdy.

Later, apartment buildings were built in the family quarters. The military families preferred the apartment buildings and gradually moved to them, leaving the old residential area empty.

The old man felt it was better for him to live here. The security personnel could not only live in a spacious place, but it was also easier to arrange sentries, both overt and covert. If someone really wanted to harm him, it wouldn't implicate the other military families.

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from the small, dilapidated courtyard.

"Have you no shame? You've taken back your move again. You've taken it back four times in this game." Wang Datou's face froze instantly. He couldn't decide whether to pick up the white piece or put it down.

However, he was thick-skinned, and his embarrassment only lasted for a moment. He moved the white piece to a different spot and said shamelessly, "You are a master, and if you don't let me take back my moves, a game can be over in two minutes. The time spent collecting the pieces is longer than the time spent playing the game."

The old man was shocked by his shamelessness. After a long while, he sincerely asked, "Did you come here to keep me company, or did you come here to make me keep you company? In a game of chess, you take back more than a dozen pieces. Is it fun to put them down and pick them up again?"

"I was just embarrassed."

The old leader and Academician Lin came to attend a wedding banquet, but as soon as they arrived, he "borrowed" Academician Lin. Although he was so shameless that he sometimes despised himself, Academician Lin had done so much in less than ten days that even with his thick skin, he still managed to take advantage of such a great benefit and became famous.

He glanced at the chessboard and, taking advantage of the old man's inattention, quickly moved one of the white pieces to a different location.

Old man: “…”

He placed a piece down, glanced at him indifferently, and that warning glance made Wang Datou's hair stand on end.

"Don't try to monopolize it. My dear granddaughter doesn't ask for anything in return, but there is one principle she follows: she doesn't use her brains for any one place or person, but for the whole country. You must remember that."

Wang Datou immediately sat up straight and answered loudly without the slightest hesitation: "Don't worry, old commander, the 37th Army will never monopolize all of Academician Lin's achievements. If I go against this, you may shoot me."

Besides, he can't monopolize it all. It's not just one or two items. Academician Lin is so amazing. He can modify whatever he sees when he walks into their arsenal.

They originally just hoped that Academician Lin could improve the firearms. The guns the soldiers were using were really too dangerous. They could make do with them when they had no other choice, but after they learned that we had such a capable person as Academician Lin, they felt uncomfortable looking at those guns anymore.

They were really looking forward to it day and night. It wasn't that they were hoping Academician Lin would come to their place. They knew their own situation well. Their little, dilapidated place wasn't even safe. Even if they were crazy, they wouldn't dare to think that Academician Lin could come to their place.

They were hoping that Academician Lin could improve the firearms in other areas. Since they were all soldiers of the same country, they could use them as long as they were improved.

And sure enough, Academician Lin, who had gotten incredibly lucky, actually came to them. They were hoping that Academician Lin could help them make some changes, at least to prevent things from exploding all the time.

Little did anyone know that Academician Lin not only improved all the firearms in just a few days in the room, but also went around their armory and improved everything he saw, from cannons to tanks. It was a truly comprehensive upgrade of equipment technology.

After seeing the equipment of their naval commando team, Academician Lin even designed two combat equipment for them: a glider and a rope gun.

Although these two items are not yet finished products, their functions sound very appealing. With such equipment, not only will the safety of combat personnel be better guaranteed, but the combat process will also be more convenient.

Tell me, do you think he can just take these things for himself?
However...

A sly glint flashed in Wang Datou's eyes. The improvements were made here, and the research was conducted here, so it made sense for him to get some benefits first and equip the 37th Army, right?

The old man could see through his thoughts, but he wouldn't question this little selfishness. Which commander doesn't try to get the best stuff into his own troops?
Wasn't Leng Zhi the same back then?
Besides, it would be terrible if a leader didn't have this mindset. If he doesn't care about the lives of his own soldiers, how can he be qualified to shoulder the responsibility of so many lives?!
"Whose men were those yesterday?"
