"Grandpa, let me see the newspaper." Zhan Xinyue stretched out her hand curiously.
"Here." Ouyang Zhenting handed the newspaper to Zhan Xinyue.
When the crescent moon was unfolded, the front page headline was written in eye-catching red letters with an obvious title: "Awarding Comrade Sheng Tunan Special Merit".
The picture below the title is a robot dog on the battlefield, and the text below describes in detail how Sheng Tunan led scientific researchers to develop robot dogs. A lot of space is spent on explaining the power of robot dogs on the battlefield.
The report pointed out that under the excellent command of Comrade Sheng Tunan, with the firepower of robot dogs more powerful than tanks, we won a heavy victory in this battle without losing a single soldier.
"Tunan, isn't it a problem that the robot dog reported it so quickly?" Zhan Xinyue was a little worried.
Ouyang Zhenting and Ouyang Xiong had the same question. They sat at the dinner table. Sheng Tunan drank a glass of juice and talked freely.
"This is a secret and an important weapon of our military. We should not have announced it so quickly. However,"
Sheng Tunan paused for a moment before continuing, "We leave the impression on other countries that we are backward. We are backward in all aspects, backward in economy, backward in high-tech talents, backward in military strength, and many countries are eyeing us covetously."
"If we don't show our sharp fangs and claws, we will still be invaded and oppressed as before. Our international status will be very low, and we Chinese will be bullied abroad. Only when the country is strong can our people go abroad with dignity."
"After weighing the pros and cons, the leaders finally decided to release the robot dog to the public to shock other countries."
"Pa pa pa," Ouyang Zhenting's eyes filled with tears and he clapped excitedly.
When he was young, it was the darkest time for the country. Ouyang Zhenting had seen poor parents selling their children just to exchange for two kilograms of food, and he had also encountered Japanese devils raping women in the street.
Unfortunately, at that time, his power was too great and could not be stopped.
During that period, his grandfather and father sold half of their property and donated it to the army. Good people are rewarded. Just when the Japanese devils went to their house to rob, the People's Liberation Army descended like a magic army and saved them from the water.
"Tunan, well done. Grandpa toasts to you." Ouyang Zhenting raised his glass.
Sheng Tunan immediately stood up and said, "Grandpa, this is what I should do as a soldier." After that, the two of them drank it all.
Ouyang Xiong cannot drink alcohol, so he drinks milk instead.
Several people ate and chatted at the table. After a meal, Ouyang Zhenting became more and more satisfied with Sheng Tunan. The drunk old man even shouted that he wanted to recognize him as his grandson.
Ouyang Xiong couldn't bear to watch and reminded his grandfather, "Dad, Tunan is the son-in-law of our Ouyang family. Your grandson-in-law is just like your grandson."
"Yes, yes, same." The old man smiled and took another gulp of the cup.
Zhan Xinyue was afraid that grandpa would drink too much and hurt himself, so she quickly changed a glass of boiled water for grandpa.
Ouyang Zhenting took a sip, smacked his lips, patted Sheng Tunan on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at me, Grandpa. I'm not drunk at all. The more I drink, the more sober I become. This wine is mellow but not intoxicating."
"Grandpa is so generous." Sheng Tunan gave a thumbs up. He looked around and asked Zhan Xinyue, "Why is Uncle Long, my father-in-law, not here?"
"Dad and Uncle Long have gone back to Hong Kong to deal with company matters. We will come back before the New Year to reunite together." Zhan Xinyue replied. It was not realistic for her to go to Hong Kong as Sheng Tunan, so the Ouyang family decided to stay here for the New Year.
It is already the eighth day of the lunar month, and in a few days it will be New Year's Eve, and Hong Chen will go home. Zhan Xinyue was thinking about her affairs, so after dinner, she talked with her grandfather for a while, took Ouyang Xiong's pulse, changed the prescription, and then went to Shengtu Nanhuanyu Island.
Before the two of them went back, they specially packed up some Hong Kong-style cakes made by a top chef and divided them into six boxes. They sent one box to Shen Min'e at the Shanghai Research Institute, and brought the rest to the island, giving one box each to Bai Yunyun, Hong Chen, and Aunt Xu.
Shen Min'e was very busy, so Sheng Tunan didn't disturb him. He left the box on the gate, wrote a note and left.
