Therefore... on the day when Little Potato was one month old, which was also when Lele was discharged from confinement, the four of them gave Xu Ping'an, who had rushed back to attend the family dinner, a severe lesson.
When the five people came back from outside, Xu Ping'an's originally handsome face had turned blue and purple. Combined with his pair of panda eyes, he looked very funny, and made the 6-year-old Li Zi and the 5-year-old Nuomi laugh out loud.
Because one of them is Erya's son and the other is Funiu's daughter, they are of the same generation as Xu Ping'an, so he, as an older brother, has lost face in front of his younger siblings.
As for the slightly older Xu Nuo and Xu Yan, when they saw the miserable appearance of their uncle, they also covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jianguo felt a sense of relief in his heart. He rubbed the heads of his precious grandson and granddaughter, letting them laugh openly.
Suddenly, after receiving authorization from the highest commander in the house, the two of them burst into laughter.
This was not a big deal, as everyone else in the living room immediately started laughing as well, making Xu Ping'an feel like crying but unable to.
After everyone had finished laughing, he looked pitifully at his wife, Huo Dingding, and said, "Wife, you just watched them beat up your husband, and didn't you tell your parents the good news?"
Huo Dingding was sitting next to her mother-in-law, Wen Sitian, in a very proper manner. She put her arm around her and said, "I told you, but Mom said you've been a little bit arrogant lately. A good beating would be a good lesson for you."
Hearing this, Xu Pingan looked at his mother in disbelief and asked, "Mom, can you bear to watch me get beaten?"
"Tsk, what's there to be reluctant about? Besides, the person who beat you up wasn't a stranger! But this is also your fault. Dingding is already three months pregnant. If you had told me earlier, this wouldn't have happened today. Who do you blame? You can only blame yourself!" Wen Sitian said indifferently, and immediately retorted the rest of Xu Ping'an's words.
It was not until this time that everyone realized that Huo Dingding was more than three months pregnant, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.
Especially the women in the family, they all came over and surrounded her, and began to teach her what to pay attention to during pregnancy, leaving Xu Ping'an, who had a bruised face and nose, aside.
At this time, Xu Jianguo stood up and walked over to him, kicked him on the butt, and scolded him with a smile: "What are you standing there for? Go into the kitchen and help!"
Although Xu Jianguo doesn't take care of things at home, Daya and the three girls, as well as Xu Zhengyang, Xu Aiwen and Xu Ping'an, are all in awe of their father. As long as he glares at them, they will all be obedient.
So after being kicked by his father, Xu Ping'an obediently went to the kitchen and started helping his uncles with the work.
…
The time came to July 2005.
Because Wen Sitian was three years older than Xu Jianguo, she was supposed to retire in 1997, but she was re-hired by the Ministry of Commerce and stayed in the unit for another seven years.
With Xu Jianguo’s 60th birthday approaching, he officially ushered in his retirement life.
It’s just that ideals are full, but reality is very skinny.
He was about to start his round-the-world trip with Wen Sitian, but a call from the central government disrupted all his plans.
The person who called him was a big shot in the center, who was also the successor chosen by the old man before his retirement.
He hopes that Xu Jianguo can work for a few more years while he is still in good health and help the country cultivate more outstanding scientific research talents.
Xu Jianguo was very resistant to this, but he didn't want to offend the other party directly.
Moreover, the other party obviously knew the relationship between him and the old man, so the tone of his voice was also negotiable.
In the end, there was really no other way, so Xu Jianguo could only agree.
Not long after he finished his call with the center, the military research institute located within the red wall was surrounded.
Immediately afterwards, the central boss who had just spoken to him came to Xu Jianguo's office accompanied by a group of special agents from the Security Bureau and the Minister of National Defense.
The purpose of their visit was to convey the three orders just issued by the Central Committee to Xu Jianguo in person.
One reason is that the superiors took into account that Xu Jianguo had made outstanding contributions to the country's military science and technology development in his previous work, and specially approved his promotion to general.
Secondly, his superiors approved Xu Jianguo's retirement application and allowed him to go through the retirement procedures. After retirement, he can continue to live in his existing residence and enjoy vice-state-level treatment.
Third, considering the country's shortage of talent in military science and technology, his superiors re-employed Xu Jianguo after retirement, hoping that he could continue to shine in his position and cultivate more talents in military scientific research for the country.
After the three orders were read out, the central leader took over Xu Jianguo's brand new rank of general and officer certificate from the Minister of Defense, and held a very solemn and secret awarding ceremony for him alone.
Xu Jianguo has long been numb to this. After all, he is a special talent of the Longxia military. So from the day he entered the 523 Institute to do research and development, he has been isolated from everything in the spotlight.
When the awarding ceremony was over, Xu Jianguo immediately raised his hand to salute. After chatting for a few minutes, the few people left. They came and went in a hurry.
Xu Jianguo looked at the brand new officer certificate in his hand, and a helpless expression suddenly appeared on his face. He thought about how to carry out his future work.
After returning home in the evening, Wen Sitian noticed the changes on her man's epaulettes at a glance, and immediately had some guesses in her mind.
Sure enough, when Xu Jianguo placed his retirement certificate and re-employment certificate in front of Wen Sitian, her previous thoughts were confirmed.
However, as a military wife who has worked in the system for many years, Wen Sitian naturally understands Xu Jianguo's feeling of being helpless.
So she didn't say much, but instead comforted Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo felt very guilty about his wife's understanding. After all, they had been discussing the idea of taking her around the world for many years.
Therefore, after dinner in the evening, Xu Jianguo found an excuse and took Wen Sitian away from home, and then returned to the space together to prepare to study the matter of substitute servants.
