Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 82 Return to the Siheyuan (Subscription Request)
After receiving the battle report from the southeast, the superiors said several times "good!"

"It seems that we are not incapable of making something good. Big Brother is concerned about his own safety and is unwilling to give us the technology, so why don't we make it ourselves?"

"Tell the people waiting for me to hurry up. After all, the person on the other side is not a generous person. After suffering such a big loss, he will definitely retaliate against us."

The principal of the opposing school was indeed very angry. He didn't expect that he had just lost all his counterattack bases, and when he wanted to vent his anger, he was slapped in the face again.

Thinking that the opposite side already had larger caliber anti-aircraft guns, he ordered a temporary halt to the daytime bombing of us.

"...With all the officers and soldiers fighting bravely without fear of sacrifice, we shot down two enemy planes, captured a pilot, and killed more than 20 enemy crew members, effectively defeating the enemy..."

Listening to the enthusiastic voice of the announcer on the radio, the entire city was filled with cheers.

However, because it is close to the coast, Sijiu City is always in danger of being bombed. Shooting down the enemy bomber this time means that our own safety is better guaranteed, and it also shows that we are growing stronger.

On the way home, Yang Ning looked at passers-by who were excitedly discussing this matter, and he felt very proud.

"Boss, Yinghong, you guys are back?"

On Sunday, Yang Ning returned to his parents' yard as usual. As soon as he entered the door, he found the whole family happily changing into clean clothes, and it seemed that they were about to go out for some happy event.

"Dad, Mom, are you going out today?" Yang Ning asked puzzledly when he saw the family's posture.

"Well, Zhuzi is getting married today, so please invite us over to sit down with him." Yang Liu said as she packed the gifts she would take with her later.

"Zhu Zi is getting married today, why didn't anyone tell me in advance?" Yang Ning asked puzzledly after hearing his mother's words.

"You are a very busy person now, who knows when you will be free, so Zhuzi didn't ask us to notify you, but just asked you to come over if you are free, otherwise forget it."

Yang Liu rolled her eyes at him and pulled Hu Yinghong into the house to clean up.

"By the way, since you are back now, will you follow me there later?" Father Yang Dagen, wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit, looked at Yang Ning and asked.

Yang Ning smiled bitterly and said, "You are all going to attend Zhuzi's wedding today. If I don't go over there, there will be no one to cook for me, right?"

"You didn't even show up in advance, and I haven't prepared anything yet?"

After all, Zhuzi helped me a lot when I got married. How could I not go now that I have encountered this situation? Didn't I see that my wife has been taken away by my mother?

"What's there to prepare? Zhuzi said you just need to go over there." Yang Dagen said indifferently.

"I don't have that face!" Yang Ning rolled his eyes at his father and said speechlessly.

If I really went there empty-handed, I wouldn't know what that group of people would say about me.

Now Yang Ning no longer cares about the group of neighbors. He just runs between the special building and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. No matter how much trouble they make, they dare not go to his side.

After a while, the family got into Yang Ning's car and went to the special building first. After all, Yang Ning really couldn't go there empty-handed.

"This is done, and I don't have anything prepared!" Yang Ning looked at the things in his room and didn't know what to give for a moment.

"How about giving me two thermoses? I can just stop by the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two."

Hu Yinghong looked around but couldn't find anything suitable, so she made a suggestion.

"Alright, that's all we can do! Take my new military uniform and bring it with you. After all, Zhuzi got his wedding clothes dirty when he helped us."

Yang Ning also had a military uniform. After all, he would be too conspicuous if he wore his usual clothes alone, which made him look a bit out of place, so he applied for a few sets of military uniforms to wear at work. Yang Ning knew that he would have to change his uniform this year, so it would not be a pity to have a set of the 50-style uniforms that he had never worn.

"Then why don't I bring a set of my military uniform with me, after all, Zhuzi helped me so much back then."

"Okay, but I don't know if it will fit. If it doesn't fit, take it over and let them alter it themselves."

Hu Yinghong then quickly packed two sets of her own uniform and the military uniform.

It is now March 55, and the key industries and commerce that are related to the daily production and life of the people have now been given priority to complete the public-private partnership, so if you want to buy things now, you can only go to the supply and marketing cooperatives. As for the private stores that are unwilling to cooperate, they will be unified and sold. Let's see what you can do.

After buying two brand new tin thermoses at the supply and marketing cooperative, the family moved back to their original courtyard house.

"Dagen, you guys are here?"

As soon as he entered the door, the third uncle who was in charge of accounting asked in surprise after seeing Yang Ning's family.

At this moment, he felt mixed emotions. Ever since he heard about Yang Ning's marriage from Xu Damao's family, he regretted why he followed others in ostracizing the Yang family.

As the most educated person in the hospital, the third uncle also sees the current situation clearly. If the public-private partnership is completed, it will not be as easy to find a job in the future.

Now their eldest son, Jie Cheng, is already fifteen years old. Judging from his grades, he has little hope of getting into a technical secondary school, let alone a senior high school.

Now with the implementation of public-private partnership, no one dares to recruit boys under the age of 16.

In other words, after their child Jie Cheng graduates from junior high school next year, they will have to consider the issue of work.

According to the current recruitment conditions of public institutions, Yan Jiecheng has little chance of being assigned a job immediately after graduation.

Even if I can be arranged a job on the street, it won't be a good one.

If the Yang family hadn't moved away, we could have asked them to help us out as they have been neighbors for many years.

But now he has been forced to leave and has nothing to do with them anymore, which makes the always frugal third uncle feel very uncomfortable.

"Teacher Yan, long time no see, you are still as healthy as ever! This is a gift from our family, please register it."

Yang Liu was afraid that her husband would be embarrassed and be pestered by the third uncle, so she quickly stepped forward and handed over the gift money, then pulled Yang Dagen and Erguai inside.

"Teacher Yan!" Yang Ning looked at the somewhat embarrassed third uncle and handed over his gift money. Then he smiled and nodded to the third uncle, and pulled Hu Yinghong to follow.

"Alas!" Looking at the backs of Yang Ning's family leaving, the third uncle sighed deeply, then lowered his head to look at the two five-yuan gift money notes on the table that had just been issued not long ago, and kept muttering in a low voice: "I regret it, why did I get so obsessed in the first place?"

He had already realized from the Yang family's behavior just now that they were just ordinary neighbors of He Yuzhu and did not care about their previous friendship at all.

"Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, Brother Ning, Sister-in-law, you are here."

Under the surprised gazes of the people in the courtyard, Yang Ning and his family came to the central courtyard.

At this time, He Yuzhu was standing outside the door, listening to the instructions of the first and second uncles. After seeing Yang Ning's family, he hurried forward to greet them.

"Zhu Zi, you are so dishonest. You didn't even tell me in advance about something as important as marriage. Do you not intend to acknowledge me as your brother?"

Yang Ning looked at He Yuzhu who had cleaned himself up, walked up to him, gently hit him on the chest, and said with a smile.

This set of clothes was the one he wore when Yang Ning got married. Although he changed into Yang Dagen's old clothes at that time, he didn't have time to change his pants, and there are obvious signs of washing on them.

"Hey, this is my own dress. I haven't worn it yet. Try it on and see if it fits you. If it doesn't fit, ask someone to alter it. We should be able to make it in time."

As he spoke, Yang Ning handed two sets of military uniforms to He Yuzhu and told him to hurry up.

"Oh!" He Yuzhu originally thought that he looked good in this outfit, but after seeing the military uniform Yang Ning gave him, he quickly took it and said happily.

"Thank you, Brother Ning, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Having said that, he hurried into the house holding two sets of clothes.

It is no wonder that He Yuzhu is so happy. After all, nowadays, it is a very prestigious thing to be able to wear a military uniform.
