On the way, Zhu Youliang told Guo Daqiang why Ji Lao had come to him. Although Guo Daqiang was skeptical, he still came in person. After hearing what Ji Lao said, he immediately walked to the table and picked up Zhu Youliang's report and started reading it. After a long while, he excitedly asked Ji Lao, "Do you think it is feasible?"
Mr. Ji said calmly, "Why else would I call you here?"
Guo Daqiang placed the materials in his hands on the table and walked around the room a few times before saying, "I'll call the higher-ups right now and have them send experts to evaluate it. If it's viable, I'll arrange for a production line next month and build the engine first. This engine must remain in the factory." Then, as if remembering something, he walked over to Liang Yuan, wanting to shake her hand, but then suddenly remembering she was a woman. So, he grabbed Zhu Youliang's hand and looked at them both. "Youliang, Liang Yuan, you've worked hard. You must be exhausted. I'll grant you two days off so you can go home and rest. Don't worry, the factory's losses are nothing to those who have made contributions. Once this agricultural engine is built, I'll immediately commend you for your contributions."
Zhu Youliang hurriedly said, "Director, this is what we should do. We were just young and fearless, who knew we would actually succeed? The key is that Professor Ji believed in us and was willing to give us such an important project. He and Senior Brother Li also provided great help to our research. This is a credit to our entire department. You can't give all the credit to just the two of us."
Liang Yuan also agreed: "Yes, Brother Li is still helping us calculate the data."
Li Mingde looked at them in surprise and waved his hands, "I, I didn't do anything."
Guo Daqiang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's keep this matter confidential for now. I'll recommend you guys for your achievements after the official evaluation from above. As for today, why don't you all just give the department a holiday? I see that Mr. Ji hasn't slept well in the past few days."
Liang Yuan immediately replied, "Thank you, Director. We were just about to ask you for leave. We've been so busy these past few months that we haven't been home and miss our children so much."
"We need to go back and check. You should go back home after get off work. It will probably take two or three days for the higher-ups to reply." Director Guo said cheerfully.
After Guo Daqiang left, Zhu Youliang and Liang Yuan packed up their things and were about to go back when Mr. Ji suddenly called them.
"This agricultural tractor was made by you two. There is no need to mention me. Instead, you can bring Mingde with you. He is an unlucky guy, but he can also share some of the light for you to prevent the light from being too bright and dazzling." Ji Minhuai said slowly.
Liang Yuan said, "Master Ji, you can't say that. We've been asking you and Senior Brother Li for advice a lot during this period. Without your guidance and the valuable information you showed us, we wouldn't be able to build this agricultural tractor. We're still young, so please give us your support."
"Slippery!" Ji Minhuai waved his hand: "Alright, I'll think about this again, you guys go back first."
"Mr. Ji, let's go." Zhu Youliang nodded to Li Mingde and pulled Liang Yuan out.
Liang Yuan wasn't lying. They hadn't been home for months developing this agricultural tractor. Initially, they thought they could finish it in a few nights, but in reality, it proved far more challenging. They possessed advanced knowledge and had spent years studying here, but the gap between the two eras was profound. This agricultural tractor development gave them a deeper understanding of contemporary technological development.
The couple went back to the dormitory to get two sets of clothes, then went to the human resources department to confirm that Director Guo had approved their leave. Then they carried their things and walked towards the No. 1 Middle School in the county building.
When Zhu Xingtong started high school, she chose to live on campus. Because she always acted like a little adult, her family agreed.
When I arrived at school, Zhu Xingtong was taking a physical education class.
The couple was standing outside the iron railings when they saw her running in circles. Although she was not short, she was still quite conspicuous among the group of older children because of her young age.
The couple waved to her hurriedly: "Atong, Atong."
Zhu Xingtong heard the familiar voice and looked up to see the two of them. He quickly left the group to find the teacher, explained the situation, and then ran towards them.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here? Aren't you at work at this time?" Zhu Xingtong said as he took the things they handed in from outside the fence.
"The factory director gave us two days off, so we thought of going back to the countryside. Before we left, we wanted to come see you. You kid, we were busy and didn't go back, so why didn't you come to see us? By the way, how are you doing in school? Do you like me and write you love letters or something?"
"Mom, your daughter is not even 12 years old yet. Who do you think is so beastly as to like me?" Zhu Xingtong almost rolled his eyes.
"That's right. Wouldn't it be boring for you at school? It's hard for you." Liang Yuan nodded.
Zhu Youliang said from the side, "A-Tong, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Study hard and be respectful. There are many people and things here that are worth learning from."
"Your father will be assimilated sooner or later, and I can see that your mother is almost the same. Atong, how lonely you will be in the future!" Liang Yuan said from the side.
"I'm used to it. Okay, I have to go to class, you guys go back." Zhu Xingtong said as he ran to the playground with his things in his hands.
"Poor little Atong, did she say that she was lonely before?" Liang Yuan looked at her husband.
Zhu Youliang nodded. When they were on Planet 233, they were also away from home all day long, and Atong also had endless training.
"I saw that she was getting along well with Chunhua and Xiaofang. I thought she had gradually adapted to everything here." Liang Yuan said with some sadness.
"Perhaps this is the price of being different. However, Atong is a smart child. She knows what to do. We should trust her." Zhu Youliang patted her shoulder. "Let's go. There's someone else to worry about at home."
"Tongtong, that naughty boy, will go crazy without Ah Tong around?"
"I'll test his homework when we get back. However, with someone as outstanding as A-Tong in front of him, won't Tong-Tong be under a lot of pressure?" Zhu Youliang said worriedly.
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Why don't we go back and ask?" Liang Yuan was also a little worried.
Zhu Youliang, carrying Liang Yuan on his bicycle, had just entered the village when the elementary school bell rang. They saw a group of children running out, backpacks on their backs. Tongtong was at the front. As soon as the boy left school, he spotted his parents and rushed over.
"Dad, I want to ride a bike." Zhu Yuetong stretched out his hand towards Zhu Youliang.
Zhu Youliang parked the car, picked up the boy and put him on the front bar, then started riding again.
"Dad, ride faster." Zhu Yuetong shouted amid the envious gazes of his friends.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youliang gathered his strength and started riding. As expected, the bike went much faster. The country roads were all dirt roads, and they were very bumpy. Several times, the bike nearly veered into a ditch, causing Tongtong to scream in fear.
Liang Yuan sat in the back, feeling the autumn breeze, when he suddenly remembered a song and couldn't help humming it softly.
"Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."
