Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 173: Inexplicable Feeling of Loneliness (Fourth update, please subscribe)

After listening to Director Nie's words, Dean Qian smiled and shook his head. He also knew that it was unrealistic to apply for talents from higher levels.

If there are other talents, I'm afraid that apart from the Institute of Atomic Research, they are probably only in the Northwest.

No, there is another one, that is Yang Ning who is still resting. After two years of processing and calculating the data of the atomic bomb research process, Yang Ning's knowledge reserve in nuclear physics is no worse than Dean Qian himself.

In terms of comprehensiveness, Yang Ning may be better than him. If Yang Ning is brought into the Atomic Research Institute to specialize in the research of hydrogen bomb theory, all the problems will probably be just minor ones.

But when he thought of Yang Ning's role in other fields, Dean Qian shook his head again and decided to give up.

Yang Ning, who was playing with his two sons at home, suddenly shuddered and looked at the sky in confusion: "It's strange, it's only September, why does it feel a little cold?"

"Okay, stop picking on these two guys and tell me what Damao thinks." The mother had just picked a bunch of beans from the backyard. She moved a small stool and sat down, and asked Yang Ning while picking vegetables.

When Yang Ning left, he told his mother about his plan. It was the first time for his mother to be a matchmaker, and she was afraid that if something went wrong, neither side would be happy, so she did not object.

Yang Ning told his mother about Xu Damao's previous blind date.

After hearing this, the mother chuckled and said, "The Xu family's father and son are just cunning and they want nothing more than to think about it."

"Given the situation of that family, if the Li family hadn't encountered difficulties now, I wouldn't even bother telling them about it. Do you still want to marry a rich girl?"

"Heh~"

"So do you still want to marry Dani to Xu Damao?" Yang Ning gently pinched the face of Hu Yang, who was squatting beside the vegetable basket and helping his mother pick vegetables, and asked his mother.

"Go away! Don't pinch the child. If you keep pinching him like this, he will drool."

When the mother saw the aggrieved look in her grandson's eyes after being pinched by Yang Ning, she hit Yang Ning with beans, then quickly threw the beans into the basket, and hugged Hu Yang and rubbed the place where Yang Ning had pinched him.

"You can't really tell Dani that he's a widower, right? Damao may be a little weird, but after all, I watched him grow up. How bad can he be?"

Seeing Hu Yang holding back his tears, his mother glared at Yang Ning and said, "If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Not only can you not help at home, you are also causing trouble!"

Seeing that his mother had already decided to bring Damao and Dani together, Yang Ning stopped trying to persuade her, but he still reminded her: "It's best to tell the Li family about Damao's situation and see what they think."

"I know. I don't count on their money for shoes. I'll just say whatever they want."

The mother rolled her eyes at Yang Ning, put down the poplar and continued to pick the beans.

"Don't keep me at home all the time. It's not right for a grown man to stay at home all day. Go out for a walk when you have nothing to do."

Seeing that Yang Ning was about to pull Yang Hu again, the mother shouted angrily.

"I'm not familiar with this area, and people my age basically all go to work. Where do you want me to go?" Yang Ning looked at his mother aggrievedly.

"Fall in love with whoever you want, just don't show up in front of me!"

Well, after the three-day enthusiasm wore off, I became an outsider in my mother's eyes again.

Just like that, Yang Ning was kicked out by his mother after just two days of living at home.

I only have a few acquaintances nearby, including Yang Ning from the First Machinery Factory. Why don’t we go over there and pay him a visit?
After thinking about it, Yang Ning gave up. They were busy with production, so he didn't want to cause trouble.

Since he couldn't find anywhere to go, Yang Ning simply made a phone call to the Data Processing Institute and asked Chen Jingguo to drive over to pick him up.

While waiting for Chen Jingguo to pick him up, Yang Ning only told Mr. Hu that he was going out for a while and asked his family not to wait for him for dinner.

That’s right, Yang Ning plans to run away from home!

"Didn't I say I can go wherever I want? So I went." But I didn't go anywhere. After Chen Jingguo came, Yang Ning asked him to take him to the data processing institute.

"Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to rest at home?"

After Yang Ning arrived at the data processing institute, Yang Fengyu saw Yang Ning suddenly falling from the sky and asked in surprise.

"Director Yang, I have rested well and can get back to work at any time." Yang Ning said seriously.

"This is just nonsense, go back and rest quickly, or I will really send you to a sanatorium!"

Seeing that Yang Fengyu didn't believe it, Yang Ning directly showed him the physical examination report he had done at Union Hospital.

"Look, this is the medical examination report from the hospital. There's nothing wrong with my health."

Yang Fengyu looked at him suspiciously, then took the physical examination report and took a look at it.

"Okay, since you're in such a hurry to work, go and clean up the institute with the other comrades."

Seeing that Yang Ning had prepared everything, Yang Fengyu was still a little worried, so he simply let him do something else today.

"Okay, I'll follow the leader's instructions!" Yang Ning saluted Yang Fengyu in a proper manner, then went to Zhao Yang to ask for a mop, and followed others to clean the office.

It’s no wonder, when Yang Ning saw so many people working together, he realized that there were so many people in the data processing institute, no less than fifty in total.

"Are there so many people in our institute?" Yang Ning asked Zhao Yang beside him while mopping the floor.

"Isn't that a lot of people? And that doesn't even include the platoon of soldiers who are responsible for guarding this place. If we include them, we will have nearly a hundred people in total."

"Wow, I didn't notice it before, but there are so many people in our institute without me noticing." Yang Ning was also surprised when he heard this.

Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head. Every time he came to the data processing institute, he would go into the office and would not come out until the end of the working day unless there was something urgent. No wonder he still didn't know how many people there were in their data processing institute after so long.

Suddenly he thought again that he had been in this world for several years. It seemed that he spent all his time studying and working. There were only a few of the acquaintances he had when he first came to this world that he was still in touch with.

Coupled with his mother's previous words of disdain and his two children's unfamiliarity with him, Yang Ning suddenly felt as if he was disconnected from this era.

After realizing this, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness...

"Yang Ning, Yang Ning..."

Suddenly, a voice in his ear woke Yang Ning up.

After coming to his senses, Yang Ning found that he was standing there in a daze with a mop in his hand. Except for Yang Fengyu, Tian Jianming and Zhao Yang, everyone else was standing far away on both sides of the corridor, vaguely surrounding the place.

The three people surrounding Yang Ning were all looking at him with worry at this time, especially Yang Fengyu, who was about to call for help to send him to the hospital.

"What happened to you just now? You almost scared us to death?" Seeing that Yang Ning's eyes had regained their spirit, the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Yang, you better stop asking. I've already prepared the car. Let's take Yang Ning to the hospital for a checkup first."

Tian Jianming also came up at this time and said seriously to Yang Ning.

"No need for that. I just suddenly thought of some questions. It's nothing!"

Yang Ning felt warm at heart when he saw the concerned looks in the eyes of the people around him. The feeling of loneliness that had just surged in his heart was also swept away.

Hearing Tian Jianming say this, Yang Ning quickly waved his hand to refuse.
