Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 238: Small Family and Big Family (Subscription Request)
"What? You want me to go to the southwest to be in charge of the construction of an electronics factory?"

"Director Nie, it's not that I don't want to go, but my wife is about to give birth. Can I go after my wife has given birth?"

After the lithography machine was designed, the authorities immediately decided to build an integrated circuit production plant in the southwest region.

After all, integrated circuits were still a new thing in the world, so Yang Ning, as the leader of integrated circuit design, became the technical director and was arranged to go to the southwest to be responsible for the construction of an integrated circuit production plant.

"Oh~" Director Nie saw Yang Ning's conflicted expression and knew what he was thinking. After hearing Yang Ning's request, he sighed with an embarrassed look on his face.

Director Nie knew that in order to have sufficient time to accompany his wife during childbirth, Yang Ning designed the lithography machine before his child was born.

But now he has received an order from above to be transferred to the southwest when his wife is about to give birth. It would be strange if he didn't have any thoughts in his mind.

But this is not the case now. In the field of integrated circuits and lithography machines, there is only Yang Ning who knows the business, and there is no one else except him.

Besides, both the lithography machine and the integrated circuit are still on the drawings. If any problems arise during actual manufacturing, Yang Ning can go there and solve them on the spot.

In fact, the higher-ups also wanted to build this integrated circuit production plant near Sijiu City. This would not only facilitate overall planning and management, but would also make it convenient for Yang Ning to provide technical guidance nearby.

But recently, due to our breakthroughs in various new technologies, Sijiu City has attracted the attention of many interested people.

In order to keep the technology confidential, Yang Ning had no choice but to make a trip to the southwest.

"I also know that Comrade Hu Yinghong is about to give birth. It is not appropriate for you to travel to the southwest now."

"But Comrade Yang Ning, now is the best time for us to catch up with the Western world. According to your introduction, integrated circuit technology is the key to our future technological development, so the sooner we produce integrated circuits, the better!" Director Nie advised with a hint of apology.

In fact, Yang Ning was just a little emotional at the beginning, but he also knew that he couldn't avoid this business trip.

Think about it, Dr. Deng and Mr. Yu have been hiding their identities for decades in order to study our nuclear weapons, and Chief Engineer Huang has been silent for 30 years in order to develop our big black fish. What qualifications does he have to refuse this mission?

After thinking it through, Yang Ning took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I accept this mission and will definitely live up to the organization's expectations."

"Okay, then go home and get ready. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Director Nie looked pleased and relieved when he heard Yang Ning's words.

The situation of Yang Ning's family is also known clearly, but now we can't find another suitable candidate in the field of lithography machines and integrated circuits except Yang Ning, so we can only let Yang Ning make another trip.

Just as Director Nie said, now is the best time for us to catch up with other countries.

During this period, the third scientific and technological revolution had just begun, and apart from the basic accumulation, everyone's knowledge in cutting-edge technology was not much different.

And because of Yang Ning's ability, we are far ahead of other countries in terms of the computing power required for current scientific and technological research.

But everyone knows that with the development of technology, this advantage will become weaker and weaker, and eventually be eliminated.

Therefore, any time now is very precious to us.

Originally, the higher-ups were worried that Yang Ning would be upset about being sent on a business trip at this time, so Director Nie had prepared a lot of earnest words of persuasion.

But I didn't expect that although Yang Ming was young, his awareness was not low at all.

"Yinghong is about to give birth, why are you going on a business trip at this time?"

When Yang Ning told his family about his business trip after returning home, his mother was not happy at first. "Mom, Yang Ning is also going to do great things for the country. Since we can't help him in this regard, we should not hold him back."

Seeing that her mother looked unhappy and was about to scold Yang Ning, Hu Yinghong quickly dissuaded her.

"That's right, just stop talking. If you have the time, you might as well go and pack for the boss instead. Don't waste time."

After hearing what Hu Yinghong said, my father also said with a look of agreement.

"Okay, you are all good people with high awareness, and I am the only bad person in the family!"

Although the mother said this, after finishing her meal, she started to pack Yang Ning's luggage for the business trip.

In fact, the mother did not blame Yang Ning, but she was afraid that her eldest son would go out on a mission when his wife was about to give birth, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would have opinions, so she said it in advance.

Now that the whole family has no objection, there is no need for her to continue to be the bad person.

While resting at night, Yang Ning looked at Hu Yinghong lying beside him and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"What?" Hu Yinghong looked at Yang Ning in confusion and asked.

"You regret marrying me!" Yang Ning said to Hu Yinghong, who was pregnant, with a look of pity on his face.

"I don't have time to spend with the children at home. I couldn't even be with you when you gave birth. I am not a qualified husband and father. Do you regret it?"

"What if I regret it? I'm almost a mother of three children. It's too late to regret it."

After hearing Yang Ning's words, Hu Yinghong's eyes flashed with a hint of mischief, and then she pretended to be regretful but helpless and said.

"Do you regret it?" Yang Ning sat up after hearing Hu Yinghong's answer and asked with a worried look on his face.

"Silly!" Seeing Yang Ning's worried look, Hu Yinghong couldn't help but curl up her lips: "When I married you, I anticipated today's situation. If I really regretted it, I wouldn't agree to marry you!"

"Okay! You dare to tease me, let me show you how I'll deal with you!"

"Come on, if you're not afraid of your daughter getting into trouble, just give it a try..."

Well, since Hu Yinghong still has a "hostage" in her belly, Yang Ning really can't do anything to her now.

If Hu Yinghong didn't have a "hostage" in her belly, Yang Ning...

Well, even after getting off the kang, he still couldn't do anything to Hu Yinghong.

After resting at home for a night, Yang Ning got on a bus and left at dawn the next day.

What Yang Ning didn't know was that on the day he was on a business trip, Hu Yinghong gave birth to a daughter for him.

And at the insistence of her parents, Mr. Hu named his great-granddaughter Yang Ping.

According to the old man, "Ping Tongping also hopes that Yang Ning and his great-granddaughter can be safe and sound."

"Ah~" Director Nie sighed deeply after hearing the news: "If I had known that Comrade Hu Yinghong would give birth today, I would have let Yang Ning stay one more day!"
