In 1959, what's wrong with me pedaling a tricycle?

No one expected that after Wang Xingguo was transferred to the position of director of the security department, a tremendous change would take place.

Although people who want to get in, as well as the lowly soldiers, come every day.

but.

They weren't there to cause trouble, but to chat with Wang Xingguo. Sometimes, some would even bring wine and food to drink with him.

Because they lacked manpower and had no soldiers to follow them in causing trouble, they naturally couldn't control the narrative here.

The key issue is that they have no choice and dare not touch Wang Xingguo, who has been specifically praised and is a role model for young people.

He couldn't command those low-ranking soldiers!

When asked to go to other units or compounds, these junior soldiers are very enthusiastic, but when asked to come here, none of them agree.

They said they had to give Wang Xingguo face and not embarrass their "Big Brother Wang," otherwise the whole group wouldn't tolerate them.

What the hell is this?

Wang Xingguo doesn't need to do any other work; the other people in the security department will take care of everything. Every day, he just sits in the gatehouse when he goes to work.

He spent his days drinking tea or reading newspapers, chatting with visitors, and letting people bring him wine into the gatehouse for a few drinks. He lived a leisurely and carefree life.

Grandpa Lin hadn't expected the results to be so good. Without external interference, he began to restore order to the internal structure and get the entire State Science and Technology Commission back on track.

Five years later, in 1977, due to restructuring, the Ministry of Security was abolished, leaving only the Security Division. Wang Xingguo entered the Conventional Equipment Division and became its deputy director.

The program of sending workers to the countryside ended completely in 1978!

After the resumption of the college entrance examination, more and more young people from the rural areas returned to Beijing, and the number of people visiting Wang Xingguo increased.

It's not just the people from the compound anymore. Many of the young soldiers from those years have graduated from school and gone to the countryside to work as sent-down youth. Now, they've returned to Beijing because of the college entrance examination and the return of educated youth to the city.

So many years have passed, and the young people who come back are no longer the same.

Wang Xingguo hosted a welcome dinner for them, which kept him quite busy lately.

By the way, after graduating from high school, Wang Chengan and Wang Jianhua were arranged by Grandpa Lin to go to the army for a few years of training, and they were willing to go to the army for training.

On the contrary, Wang Chengbin and Wang Niannian said they wanted to take the college entrance exam.

In July of this year, a large number of cadres and intellectuals who had been sent to the countryside were exonerated and returned to Beijing one after another.

The parents of the young people whom Wang Xingguo sheltered back then were all able to return to the city.

So Wang Xingguo has been very busy lately. The young people in the compound want to visit him, the soldiers want to visit him, and the parents of the young people he shelters want to host banquets to express their gratitude.

If we're talking about who's the busiest person in Beijing right now, Wang Xingguo is definitely the top contender!

Wang Xingguo is now a high-ranking official, and his work performance during his years in office has been outstanding.

He made significant contributions, especially in maintaining order in government offices. As a result, some leaders suggested that younger comrades should be given important positions, and that age should not be the sole criterion for judging success.

Therefore, in 1979, Wang Xingguo officially took office as the director of the Conventional Equipment Department.

This year was also the year Vietnam turned on us, and discussions about self-defense against Vietnam began.

The Conventional Equipment Division is responsible for coordinating research projects on conventional army equipment such as infantry weapons, artillery, and tanks.

Therefore, Wang Xingguo brought experts and a batch of newly manufactured weapons to the front line to test whether there were any areas for improvement.

After learning that his nephew and eldest son were both here, Wang Xingguo had considered going to see them, but then decided against it.

He wouldn't be like that noblewoman, thinking that her child couldn't go to the battlefield.

He himself had been to the battlefield and almost died there.

So when they chose to join the army, he was already mentally prepared that his son might sacrifice his life, but it was their choice, and Wang Xingguo respected their choice.

In fact, Wang Xingguo also wanted to go to the battlefield, but his superiors here wouldn't let him.

Because they were all old acquaintances, the commander in charge of directing this self-defense counterattack had a doctor examine Wang Xingguo and concluded that if Wang Xingguo went to the battlefield, the loud noise would cause his eardrums to rupture again, and if they ruptured again, it would be difficult for them to heal on their own.

Therefore, the commander did not allow him to go to the battlefield. He could only stay in the rear with the experts, waiting for the frontline soldiers to test the performance and adaptability of the new weapons.

As is well known, the Sino-Vietnamese War was short-lived, lasting less than a month.

With the personnel who had been testing the weapons at the front lines returning, Wang Xingguo and his team obtained the test data and prepared to return to Beijing.

There was good news, though: Wang Cheng'an and Wang Jianhua had distinguished themselves in battle. This was a piece of good news that a chief of staff had personally told Wang Xingguo.

Because they were in different units, their battle lines were not aligned, but because the chief of staff was very familiar with Wang Xingguo, he paid special attention to the performance of these two young men.

Wang Xingguo was also very happy, after all, they were his son and nephew. He was proud of them for being able to fight on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions.

When Wang Xingguo returned to Beijing and finished arranging his work, it was already past closing time, so he took a car home.

Now he not only has a car, but also bodyguards and a driver, so his treatment is very good.

At least after Grandpa Lin passes away, he should be able to continue living here, because now he is entitled to live in a detached house.

Grandpa Lin was very happy and, for the first time ever, wanted to drink.

Wang Xingguo and his brother drank quite a bit with him, and Wang Xingbang was a little curious as to why Grandpa Lin was so happy today.

So he secretly asked Wang Xingguo, "Second brother, why is Grandpa so happy tonight?"

Wang Xingguo laughed and said, "Because Cheng'an and Jianhua both went into battle to fight the enemy, and it is said that they performed quite well and have made meritorious contributions."

Wang Xingbang was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Great! That's wonderful! They've finally made something of themselves!"

Grandpa Lin laughed heartily. For this old man, these two children were trained and raised by him from a young age, and their ability to fight on the battlefield was his greatest pride.

Moreover, because they joined the army, one unit has already been eliminated. It's just a matter of which of the two brothers is promoted to regimental level first, and Wang Yongzhen's honor will belong to the unit of that person.

In this way, the military won this honor, and the two brothers will be able to have better development in the future because of this honor.

Li Xiuping said to Wang Xingguo, "Honey, in the month or so you've been gone, so many people have come to visit you."

Wang Xingguo smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, there's nothing to see here. They're either asking for job offers or asking for help with housing. I don't have time for all this nonsense."
