Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 86 Big Brother’s Rejection (Subscription Request)

"Mom, how about you move in with me for a while?"

At the dinner table, Yang Ning looked at his mother and suddenly asked.

"This..." After hearing Yang Ning's words, Yang Liu was a little tempted for a moment. After all, Hu Yinghong had just become pregnant and she certainly couldn't be too tired. But when she thought of the two mouths to feed at home, Yang Liu hesitated.

"Forget it. What will happen to your father and Erguai if I leave? I can't sew their mouths shut, right? The family needs someone to stay at home." After thinking for a while, Yang Liu finally refused.

"Second Monster can also come with us. Anyway, the kindergarten in our unit will start classes soon, so we can just send him there after we get there."

"What about me? What should I do then?"

The father was dumbfounded when he heard what Yang Ning said. If his wife and youngest son left together, wouldn’t he become an empty-nest elderly?

"Tsk, who said that just now? Why do you need a son when you already have a grandson? Since you don't want a son anymore, what do you need a man for?"

Yang Ning did not forget the gloating look on his father's face, so he imitated him and said the same thing.

"Go away, what are you talking about?" Yang Liu patted Yang Ning and said unhappily.

Then the mother looked at the father and said, "How about this? I will stay at the eldest brother's place and come back every now and then."

"No, no." Upon hearing what Yang Liu said, Yang Ning and his father tried to stop her.

You know, Zhongguancun is about 20 kilometers away from here. If the mother had to travel back and forth between the two places frequently, neither Yang Ning nor his father Yang Dagen would feel at ease.

"What are you afraid of? I've walked such a long distance before. Besides, doesn't the eldest brother have a car? If all else fails, I can ride a bicycle." Yang Liu felt that the father and son looked down on her and said unconvincedly.

"You still know it was in the past!" Yang Ning couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Don't bother mom. I'm fine. How about we move in here and live here for a while when you're about to give birth?" Hu Yinghong said finally.

"That's fine." Yang Ning thought about it and decided that this was the only way now. He couldn't really leave his father here alone.

"…The successful maiden flight of the jet aircraft heralds the beginning of a new era in our aviation field. We…"

Time has quietly entered May. A few days ago, our J-5 successfully completed its first flight. These two days, newspapers and radio have been full of news about it.

Yang Ning was in the office, listening to the passionate voice on the radio outside. He put away the documents on the table, looked at Hu Yinghong whose belly was already bulging, and said, "Okay, it's time to go eat."

As he said that, he stood up, picked up their lunch boxes, and led her to the cafeteria.

The two of them walking on the road together looks very warm, but they both know that such a scene will hardly appear again after a while.

Recently, news has come out that the higher-ups have taken Yang Ning's family situation into consideration and may transfer Hu Yinghong to another position after she gives birth to the child, so that the two of them will not be too busy together and neglect the family.

In fact, Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong had been prepared for this. It was beyond their expectation that they would be allowed to work in the same office for such a long time after their marriage.

After all, the couple often work in the same office. If they can't help themselves in broad daylight... it would be a joke, especially since Yang Ning is still young and full of energy.

After preparing meals for the two of them, everyone was used to seeing the extra-large lunch box in Yang Ning's hand. The chef who served the meals was even afraid that Yang Ning would not be full, so he filled his lunch box full.

"Thank you, Master!" Yang Ning looked at the food in the lunch box and thanked the master who served the food with a smile.

"What's the big deal? It's not like you won't give me the ticket." The chef said with a generous smile.

In fact, after the grain production decreased in 53, the authorities implemented unified collection and sale of grain, and issued grain coupons and grain quotas according to plan.

Food coupons are also known as ticket stamps, and are also our earliest bills.

"Yang Ning, Dean Guo wants you to come over."

After a while at work in the afternoon, Yang Fengyu suddenly came to Yang Ning's office and said, "Okay!"

Yang Ning didn't ask any more questions. He stood up, tidied up the documents on the table, picked up his briefcase, and followed Yang Fengyu out.

"If I'm not back after get off work, ask Brother Chen to take you home."

Before leaving, Yang Ning did not forget to give Hu Yinghong a reminder.

"I know. Go and do your thing."

"President Guo!"

After going downstairs, Dean Guo was already waiting there.

"Get in the car first." Dean Guo waved to Yang Ning after seeing him.

"President Guo, is there something wrong?" Yang Ning got into the car, which started moving slowly and soon drove out of the door.

"You know that we sent a large inspection team to Big Brother last month?" asked Dean Guo.

"Yes, didn't they say they were investigating Big Brother's atomic technology and computer technology?"

Of course Yang Ning knew about this. Soon after he attended the meeting, his superiors sent an inspection team to Big Brother to conduct an investigation.

The inspection team has only been on the road for a month, and President Guo is saying this now. Could something unexpected have happened?

Just when Yang Ning was confused, Dean Guo said with a gloomy face: "Yes, although the inspection team has a large number of people, they are mainly investigating these two projects."

"But when we asked whether we could buy these two technologies and related equipment, Big Brother directly rejected it, saying that we currently do not have the production conditions?"

"What kind of excuse is that? It's obvious that they look down on us." Dean Guo said angrily.

“What if people really look down on us?” Yang Ning thought to himself.

In fact, in terms of conventional weapons and equipment, Big Brother’s support to us is still quite good. After all, with the development of missile technology and nuclear weapons, nuclear war has become the main theme now.

When conventional weapons face nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, it is no different from fighting with cold weapons and hot weapons.

It turns out that in history, the reason why Big Brother was still willing to support atomic bomb and missile technology after the long-wave radio incident was actually because Corn Emperor made inappropriate remarks the next year, denying his loving father and causing him to be trapped both internally and externally at that time.

In order to win our support, they decided to support our two technologies.

Corn Emperor is not yet insane, so there is no need for him to offend Big Brother’s higher-ups for us.

Well, it seems that no one on Big Brother’s side would agree to sell us missile and atomic bomb technology right now.

In their view, we just need to develop conventional weapons honestly, and they will provide us with protection for the rest.

Therefore, the results of this investigation did not surprise Yang Ning.

"Then what should we do now?" Although he had expected this, Yang Ning was still furious at this moment.

"I don't believe that without Butcher Zhang, we will have to eat hairy pigs." Dean Guo said viciously.

Then he looked at Yang Ning, with a hint of pleading in his eyes: "Comrade Yang Ning, I wish I could study science and engineering, so please help me this time!"

Looking at Dean Guo's eyes, Yang Ning did not speak for a long time. He looked into Dean Guo's eyes and nodded vigorously.

After all, no one would have thought that Emperor Corn would do something stupid next year. Judging from the current situation on Big Brother's side, if we want to have our own atomic bomb, we can only rely on our own efforts.
