"Due south, slow down. If you really can't, pull over to the side of the road and let the crowd pass first."
On his way home, seeing that there were still many people marching, Sun Zhengguo didn't forget to remind his cousin.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll drive carefully."
Sun Zhengnan was really not going to be careless at this moment, and even when he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the front.
So, what usually takes ten minutes or so took three times longer to get home today, which shows how enthusiastic the crowds were.
When he got home, the two elderly people in the family were not surprised to see their grandson come home from get off work early.
Ning Xiaowei had arrived home earlier and explained the reason for the holiday.
But Grandpa never understood what magic that thing called an egg possessed that could make the country celebrate so extravagantly.
Now that his eldest grandson, a cultured man, has returned, the grandfather wants to get to the bottom of this issue.
"Zhengguo, Grandpa is getting old and doesn't know much. What exactly is that thing called an egg?"
Hearing his grandfather's question, the others in the courtyard became curious and all looked at Sun Zhengguo.
Although everyone knows that the atomic bomb is powerful, no one knows exactly how powerful it is.
"Since you don't quite understand, then I'll explain it to you."
Seeing everyone's eagerness to learn, Sun Zhengguo simply moved a stool over, sat down, and began to explain the science to them.
"This atomic bomb! It's a weapon that uses nuclear fission to release enormous energy. Its power is so great that you can't even imagine it."
"To put it simply, just one of these tiny pellets can raze a small city to the ground. And that's not even the most terrifying part; its light radiation, shockwaves..."
After hearing Sun Zhengguo's explanation, the group finally understood why the Chinese people were so excited.
Just think about it, with such a powerful national weapon, we will no longer have to worry about being blackmailed by other countries with nuclear weapons, and everyone can stand tall and be proud. Isn't that something to be happy about?
"Zhengguo, you're making it sound so bizarre. Has anyone actually been hit by this thing? Otherwise, how do you know that one bullet could destroy a city?"
Grandma was still a little skeptical, thinking it was an exaggeration. She knew about hand grenades, but this…
"Hehehe!" Ning Xiaowei laughed from the side, "Grandma, you know what, there really is someone who has been through this, and even twice."
"Oh! Xiaowei! Tell Grandma, who is so unlucky? To be caught twice? Did they do too many bad things?"
Although Ning Xiaowei didn't know the principle of atomic bomb explosion, she knew exactly who had been bombed.
So she recounted the two bombings that struck Japan and the devastation that followed, proving that Sun Zhengguo was not lying and that the atomic bomb truly had that power.
"Serves them right, why didn't they throw a few more? They're all trash, let them fight like dogs..."
"..."
The two elderly people were overjoyed after listening to their granddaughter-in-law's explanation.
If it were someone else, they might feel sorry for them.
But let's forget about Japan and the United States; let them die sooner rather than later!
Seeing the expressions on his grandparents' faces, as if they wanted to devour him, Sun Zhengguo didn't feel anything was wrong.
After all, this hatred is ingrained in our bones, and there's no need to hide it or try to whitewash it.
Sun Zhengguo doesn't have the opportunity to go abroad now, but when he does, he certainly won't hold back.
Putting everything else aside, offering some free purchases isn't an unreasonable request, is it?
"Alright, Grandpa and Grandma, today is a good day, let's celebrate tonight. But I need to go to the courtyard house now."
After saying that, Sun Zhengguo stood up and prepared to push the cart.
"Jung-guk, are you going to call Mom and the others to come over for dinner?"
When his wife asked him this, Sun Zhengguo didn't explain, but just nodded.
Actually, he wasn't going to the courtyard house for that purpose; he wanted to talk to his mother about something...
The courtyard was just as lively, with large red flags planted at the entrance and numerous slogans delivered by the neighborhood committee.
At this moment, Lin Wencui was fully cooperating with the street office, directing everyone to clean up and post slogans to celebrate this great victory.
The bangs following behind her seemed to have found their purpose in life, and kept shouting.
"Attention everyone, let's show the enthusiasm of the working people and ensure there are no blind spots in the sanitation..."
"Hey! Over here! I'm talking to you! Your sign is crooked."
"Xu Damao, can't you see what's going on? What are you doing wandering around here? You're just causing trouble..."
Xu Damao was naturally unwilling to be scolded by Liu Haizhong for no reason.
He was about to retort when his quick-thinking wife grabbed him and handed him a broom.
Then Qin Jingru smiled ingratiatingly, "Second Uncle, I'm working on it! I'm working on it!"
"Hmph!" Liu Haizhong snorted heavily, then quickly followed Lin Wencui's steps, putting on a sycophantic smile.
"Director Lin, you see how lively it is today. Why don't we hold a big meeting tonight and tell everyone about this great situation?"
Lin Wencui was speechless after hearing Liu Haizhong's suggestion.
Everyone already knows about this, but you still insist on holding a big meeting just to satisfy your vague desire for officialdom.
That's really inhuman!
However, upon further reflection, it's not easy to refuse. If someone with ulterior motives were to label me, it could easily escalate into a political incident.
"Uncle, I think your idea is good. Since you made the suggestion, how about this, you organize it tonight and take the lead in this conference, and I'll just sit back and give you some encouragement."
Lin Wencui isn't stupid. Since you want to show off, I'll let you show off to your heart's content. Anyway, I'm not the one who gets scolded.
"Director Lin, you're not joking?" Liu Hai was secretly delighted and quickly patted his chest to assure him.
"Then I will certainly live up to the organization's expectations and take responsibility for making this conference a success."
This comical scene was clearly witnessed by Sun Zhengguo, who had just entered.
"Hey! Second Uncle, you have a really high level of awareness! You're worth learning from and praising. I have high hopes for you!"
"Hey! Director Sun, I was just rambling, it's nothing to mention, nothing to mention."
Liu Haizhong was overjoyed to be praised by Sun Zhengguo, but he remained very modest.
After teasing Liu Haizhong, Sun Zhengguo didn't forget his business.
"Mom, I need to talk to you about something. Let's go inside and talk."
Hearing her son say this, Lin Wencui nodded without asking what it was about.
Then she said to Liu Haizhong, "Second Uncle, I'll trouble you to look after him. I'll go back first and come back later."
"Go ahead, go ahead! I'm here!" Liu Haizhong replied cheerfully.
After exchanging greetings, the mother and son walked home.
After entering the house, Sun Zhengguo deliberately closed the door, making it seem very mysterious.
"Zhengguo, what's going on? Why do you have to talk behind closed doors?"
Lin Wencui was very puzzled by her son's behavior.
"Mom, of course it's a good thing. You should be mentally prepared." Sun Zhengguo deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in his mother's ear.
"Go ahead and say it! I'm ready!"
"Mom, Dad might be coming back soon."
Lin Wencui was caught off guard by her son's words and could hardly believe her ears.
“Jung-guk, who told you this? We don’t even know where your father is, so how did you find out about this?”
Sun Zhengguo knew his mother didn't believe him, but he didn't want to explain too much.
"Mom, do you remember what I told you when Dad left? He went to do a secret job. What kind of secret job is worth keeping anonymity? Think about it carefully."
Lin Wencui was no fool. After listening to her son's explanation and reflecting on this great victory, she understood the significance of it.
At that moment, she suddenly realized what Sun Dajiang had been up to.
But she also understood that her son must have heard something after saying all that indirect things, but he couldn't say it outright.
The thought of her husband's imminent return brought back so many pent-up grievances from the past years.
Lin Wencui's tears flowed uncontrollably...
