The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Li Xiao was naturally an outsider when it came to weapons development, but as a top-notch intelligence agent in his previous life, he had a considerable understanding of weapons development in later generations.

After he explained his ideas to the researchers in detail, the experts' eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to get right into the research.

It's worth noting that Li Xiao's ingenious ideas opened a completely new door for experts in the fields of mechanical and chemical engineering.

In addition, with the weapon prototypes that Li Xiao took out from the supermarket's spatial weapons depot, the research and production progress of the military factories in Borneo and Sumatra was accelerated once again.

现如今两地兵工厂，每天都能生产出81式自动步枪2200把，轻机枪1200把、重机枪800把、155毫米榴弹炮30门、各种轻重型迫击炮300门、高射机枪500把。

In addition, Li Xiao instructed the group of scientific research experts to simultaneously begin researching tanks and armored vehicles, which are powerful weapons on the battlefield.

Xu Mo and Du Hongmei, a couple located in the United States, also obtained the design blueprints for the American Sherman medium tank and Pershing heavy tank through some illegitimate means.

This saved the arsenal a lot of research time. After obtaining these blueprints, Li Xiao requested that production be carried out while improvements were made.

Li Xiao spent the entire year of 1943 in a busy schedule, but it was also the year that his career took off.

The foundation laid this year will play an extremely important role in future planning and arrangements.

On January 12, 1944, Li Xiao brought Liu Qianqian and Li Qian to Zhengyangchun Restaurant.

He took the lead and walked ahead, while Liu Qianqian held Li Qian's hand and led her to a private room on the second floor. As soon as they entered, the people inside greeted them with smiles.

"Haha, Xiao Li, welcome to my daughter's birthday party."

The visitor was none other than Lou Zhenhua, the big boss of Lou's Steel Plant.

Today is the fifth birthday of Lou Zhenhua's youngest daughter, Lou Xiao'e. Lou Zhenhua has two sons, but only this one daughter, so he dotes on her immensely.

Since its opening a little over a year ago, Zhengyangchun Restaurant has quickly become a rising star in the city with its elegant decor, excellent service, and uniquely flavorful dishes.

Lou Zhenhua, one of the wealthiest men in Beijing, quickly became a loyal customer of Zhengyangchun Restaurant after visiting the place.

Many of his banquets, both large and small, are now held here, and today happens to be Lou Xiao'e's fifth birthday, so the birthday banquet is also being held here.

Li Xiao's status as a major shareholder of Zhengyangchun Restaurant may not be clear to ordinary people, but it is no secret to Boss Lou.

"Uncle Lou, Xiao'e, I'm so sorry, something came up and I'm late today!"

"Haha, not too late, not too late, just right!"

Lou Zhenhua then looked at Li Qian with a smile and said, "Xiao Qian's here! Moth has been talking about you the whole time. Come sit down!"

"Hello, Uncle Lou!"

Li Qian greeted Lou Zhenhua and his two wives in a graceful and generous manner.

"Okay, okay!"

Lou Xiao'e ran over, grabbed Li Qian's hand, and arranged for her to sit next to her.

"Sister Xiaoqian, please sit here. This seat was saved for you!"

"Okay, thank you, Little Sister Xiao'e!"

The two little girls immediately started snuggling together.

Lou Zhenhua finally looked at Liu Qianqian and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This was the first time he had ever met Liu Qianqian.

After more than a year of careful recuperation, Liu Qianqian is no longer the thin and bony woman she once was.

After removing her hat and mask, a small and delicate face was revealed to everyone.

Her skin was fair and delicate, almost translucent; her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, bright and expressive, revealing a clarity and composure beyond her years.

The little girl has a high, straight nose with a slightly rounded tip, adding to her girlish charm.

Her lips are pink and full, and when she smiles, the corners of her mouth turn up, revealing a sweet smile that is extremely infectious.

Liu Qianqian's bone structure is considered perfect. Her skull proportions are close to the golden ratio, her facial lines are smooth and soft, and her jawline is clear. Whether from the front or the side, she can show a beautiful profile.

Her overall demeanor is fresh and refined, possessing both the innocence and naivety of a student and an innate air of nobility.

Especially her cheeks still have a touch of extremely cute baby fat, anyone who sees her will fall in love with her from the bottom of their heart.

At this moment, even Lou Zhenhua's two sons and his two wives, who were sitting at the table, all fixed their gazes on Qianqian's stunningly beautiful face.

Liu Qianqian seemed a little embarrassed by everyone's stares and shyly grabbed Li Xiao's arm.

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, let me introduce you all. This is Liu Qianqian, and she is also my fiancée."

Six months ago, at Wang Xia's repeated urging, Li Xiao and Liu Qianqian held an engagement ceremony at home.

Seeing that Liu Qianqian was growing more and more beautiful, and that the girl was hardworking and kind-hearted, Wang Xia had long regarded this little girl she had rescued on the road as her future daughter-in-law.

According to Wang Xia, if they didn't quickly finalize the marriage, she would regret it for the rest of her life if the little girl were to be kidnapped by someone else when she grew up.

In this day and age, it's common for teenagers to get engaged or even married, so it's a perfectly normal thing.

Liu Qianqian was naturally overjoyed at the prospect of marrying Li Xiao.

When she opened her eyes after being unconscious, the first person she saw was Li Xiao.

When she learned that it was this boy who had saved her, his image was already imprinted in Liu Qianqian's heart.

Having experienced the Japanese invasion and the loss of her family, Liu Qianqian was left with deep trauma – a severe lack of security!

The eleven-year-old girl at the time faced a brutal attack by the enemy, and upon waking up, she witnessed the deaths of her loved ones. This kind of unbearable blow is something not everyone can endure.

If Li Xiao hadn't rescued her from the thick pile of straw, she might have died quietly in that cold winter.

Therefore, after she first integrated into the Li family, she always appeared taciturn and cautious.

After nearly a year of getting along, Wang Xia's meticulous care for her, the two little boys Li Feng and Li Qian's warm treatment of her like their own older sister, and Xiao Gege's all-around protection for her, all gave her a new sense of security for her previously wounded heart.

All members of her family, including Li Mingzhi's family, treated her as their own, giving her meticulous care and protection.

Every time He Daqing had a vacation, he would come to the East Wing and cook a delicious meal himself. Wang Xia would personally put some of her favorite dishes into her bowl.

Therefore, in Liu Qianqian's heart, she already regarded Wang Xia as her mother.

When Wang Xia privately asked Liu Qianqian that day if she wanted to marry her off to Li Xiao after she came of age, the little girl buried her head in Wang Xia's arms in embarrassment, but she still nodded in agreement without hesitation.

As for Li Xiao's opinion...

This is the fairy sister at the peak of her beauty in her youth! What man could refuse to marry the fairy sister? Unless that man is a eunuch.
