Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 228 Children's Education Issues (Subscription Request)
When Yang Ning returned to Sijiucheng, it was already December 57.

In 57, after several years of accumulation, our scientific research and industrial development finally ushered in a big explosion.

This year can be said to be the year with the greatest achievements since our liberation. The successful development of missiles and atomic bombs, although not enough to make us directly join the ranks of powerful countries, but we are no longer the object that can be easily slaughtered.

Not only that, the vigorous development of the electronics industry has absorbed a large number of unemployed young people caused by the vigorous development of education since liberation, and has greatly eased social contradictions.

The scale of industry continued to expand. According to statistics, in 57 our overall industrial scale finally surpassed that of Gaul and ranked fourth in the world.

Moreover, in the field of high-end industrial technology, we can be said to be on par with the Eagle Sauce and Big Brother.

That is to say, our size is too large, our development time is short, and there are still many blank areas that need to be filled. In addition, the stereotypes we have given people over the past century have prevented us from arousing the vigilance of other countries.

However, this situation will not last long, because Yang Ning knows that the next few years will be the biggest test for us since liberation.

Historically, it was the harsh international environment and prolonged natural disasters in the following few years that directly interrupted our development process.

Yang Ning thinks that since we already have guns, we should start preparing to store food starting next year.

Fortunately, due to our efforts over the years, the pressure of foreign debt has been reduced a lot. It is estimated that it will only take this year for us to repay the loan from Big Brother.

This will allow us to be much more calm when facing any situation next time.

"Boss, when did you come back?"

When Yang Ning returned home, he found that only his mother was cleaning the room. The whole house seemed particularly deserted, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

"I just got back, Mom, where's Yinghong?" Yang Ning asked after putting down the luggage in his hand.

After hearing what Yang Ning said, Yang Liu, the mother, put down the quilt she had just taken back, glared at her son and said, "Do you know that you have a pregnant daughter-in-law at home?"

"You've been gone for half a year, and you haven't even sent me a letter. I thought you had forgotten about this family."

"Fortunately, your father and I had the foresight to have a second child early on. Otherwise, if we only rely on you, we don't know who we can count on when we get old."

"How can that be?" Perhaps because he was scared by his mother's lecture in the past, facing his mother's rolling eyes and questioning, Yang Ning's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he quickly explained in a flattering way: "You also know that my job is quite special, so it's not convenient to write a letter!"

"Okay, I know you're a busy man." The mother folded the quilt, but she couldn't bear to continue scolding her son.

Ever since her eldest son suddenly came to her senses, she had long thought about this day and had been mentally prepared.

This time, I just saw that my daughter-in-law was pregnant and my son was away from home without even a message, so I couldn't help but say a few words.

But he also knew that his son was doing something important that would benefit the country and the people, so she had to pay more attention to her eldest son's family.

"After you left, we were worried about Yinghong living here alone, so we took her back. Before she left the confinement period, Yinghong lived with us. Do you want to move in with us or stay here?"

Mrs. Yang Liu still felt a little sorry for her son, so she asked Yang Ning.

"Of course I'll move in. Yinghong has already moved in, and there's no one at home, so where will I go to eat in the future?"

Yang Ning said hurriedly that there was not much for him to do during this period anyway. If he was busy, he could handle the data that needed him to process every day in half a day. Anyway, there was plenty of time, so he might as well take advantage of this time to spend more time with his family.

After helping his mother clean up the house, Yang Ning took his luggage and asked the driver to take him and his mother to his parents' yard.

"Dad~"

"Dad~"

As soon as we entered the yard, before the car even stopped, two gray monkeys jumped out from Mr. Hu's yard next door and chased after us.

Yang Ning looked through the car window and saw who else could it be but the two boys from his family?
He hurriedly stopped the car, and as soon as he got out of the car, two monkeys pounced on him.

Well, that was a waste of the clean clothes he just changed into at home.

Anyway, they would have to change and wash their clothes later, so Yang Ning simply picked up his two sons and asked with a stern face, "What did you do? Why are you so dirty?"

Seeing their father with a stern face as if he was angry, the two boys didn't know what to do for a moment. But when they saw Yang Liu getting off the car, the two boys seemed to have found their savior. They scrambled to jump off Yang Ning, and then all ran to Yang Liu to act cute.

"These two guys are so cunning, I don't know who they learned this from?" Yang Ning shook his head and smiled when he saw this situation. He then dusted himself off, took his luggage from the car, and then took out some specialties that Shanghai gave him when he came back and handed them to the guard who was driving.

"Commander, I can't accept it!" This guard was specially assigned to Yang Ning.

Not only does he drive him normally, but he is also responsible for protecting his safety when he encounters danger.

When the guard saw what Yang Ning handed over, he quickly refused.

"Okay, just take it!" Yang Ning stuffed the things into the passenger seat forcefully, then closed the door and waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly.

I heard from my mother that although Yang Ning was not there during this period, the guards drove to pick up Hu Yinghong and Erguai from work and school on time every day. Although I understand that this is arranged by the higher-ups, Yang Ning had to express his gratitude anyway.

When Yang Ning arrived at the yard, he saw the mother scolding the two boys while stripping off their dirty clothes.

Seeing my mother's skillful movements, I knew that this situation had happened many times before.

Yang Ning put away his luggage and came out to ask about the situation, but before Yang Ning could open his mouth, his mother saw the frightened eyes of her two grandsons and began to defend them.

"Okay, the kids are old enough to play with, and you don't need to worry about them, so just stop talking."

Well, now I can’t deal with Yang Ning anymore. They say that generations apart are close to each other, but no one protects him as much as you do, right?

According to what you said, as a father, can't I understand my son's situation?
"Mom, if you continue to spoil them like this, you will spoil these two kids."

"I think they are not young anymore. When Yinghong is out of confinement, I will take these two kids over and send them to kindergarten."

This time Yang Ning has made up his mind that he must not send his two sons over here again. If their mother continues to spoil them like this, won’t these two boys become second-generation rich children in the future?
