The sudden scene caught Xu Jianguo off guard, and he quickly asked, "Funiu, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Wen Sitian's voice came from the receiver: "Don't worry, the little girl is fine. You haven't heard from her for such a long time, and coupled with my dad's incident and the sudden move, Funiu was really scared. So many things happened at the same time, even an adult like me would feel overwhelmed, let alone a three-year-old child. And the slide and rocking horse you made for her were left in the yard. The little girl must be feeling wronged."
Xu Jianguo felt even more guilty. How could he not know that Funiu was insecure? He had previously taken advantage of the little girl's sleep to explore the secret room behind the stone wall, but the child didn't find her brother after waking up. For a long time in the future, she would pull at Xu Jianguo's clothes when she slept.
Xu Jianguo sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, Funiu. I apologize to you! Remember, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you. As for your beloved slide and wooden horse, I promise I'll make you a new one that's better than the original one, okay?"
"Funiu, your brother said that he will make you a better slide and wooden horse than the previous ones. Do you want them?" Wen Sitian's voice coaxing Funiu came from the phone.
Xu Jianguo held the phone and listened carefully. Fu Niu's sobbing voice came from the receiver: "I want...I want it!"
"Then you talk to your brother yourself!" Wen Sitian said with a smile.
"Ga...ga!" The little girl's voice came with a slight nasal tone.
"Hey, good girl Funiu!" Xu Jianguo said quickly, feeling like his heart was about to melt.
"Don't cry, Funniu. I'll come back and make you a slide and a wooden horse. I guarantee they'll be better than the previous ones, okay?" Xu Jianguo continued to coax her.
"Okay, I want a tall slide, a big wooden horse, White Rabbit milk candy, and calcium milk..." The little girl chattered on the phone, and Xu Jianguo was left in a state of laughter and tears, thinking that this girl had come to him to make a wish.
But since this is his lovely sister, he could only smile and say, "Okay, brother promises you, I guarantee to fulfill all your wishes."
"Haha, when can I see you?" Funiu continued to ask.
"It will be soon. Just listen to your sister-in-law and we'll be able to meet in a while!"
"Well, okay, haha, I will definitely listen to my sister-in-law!"
"good!"
After Xu Jianguo coaxed Fu Niu, he talked a lot with Wen Sitian. After the two of them told each other about their lovesickness, they felt a little comforted.
After hanging up the phone reluctantly, Xu Jianguo sat in the chair in a daze for a while, then stood up and walked out the door.
At this moment, he was eager to go home and wanted to finish the remaining work immediately so that he could reunite with Wen Sitian and Funiu as soon as possible.
Outside the room, Zhao Gang was waiting for him. Seeing Xu Jianguo come out, he said, "Jianguo, don't worry. The commander has arranged accommodation for your family in the army barracks. You can work with peace of mind. After your work is completed, the base will hold a rank-conferring ceremony for you, and then you will be sent to the barracks to reunite with your family."
"Well, okay!" Xu Jianguo nodded.
The two returned to the fifth underground floor. Zhao Gang went to find Wu Dajiang to report on his work, while Xu Jianguo returned to his room by himself.
"Report!" Zhao Gang shouted outside the door.
"Come in!"
Zhao Gang pushed the door open and walked in. Wu Dajiang was sitting in a chair, concentrating on reading a document. Without looking up, he asked directly, "How's Jianguo doing?"
"Reporting to the chief, Xu Jianguo is in a stable mood and gives me a better impression than when I first arrived. He seems to have let go of the uneasiness in his heart. I can feel that he is now eager to complete the remaining work as soon as possible." Zhao Gang said.
"This brat!" Wu Dajiang put down the documents in his hand, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile.
"Chief, do you think we should let him start the next stage of work now?" Zhao Gang continued to ask.
"Wait a little longer. Academician Lin's final results of the first phase have not come out yet. If everything goes well by then, there will still be time to start the second phase." Wu Dajiang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. Wu Dajiang picked up the phone and after listening for a while, he smiled and said, "Well done, Lao Lin. I will definitely commend you when I get back!"
Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Wu Dajiang suddenly showed a sly smile and said, "Hey, Lao Lin, don't even think about it. That little guy is now a member of our military. The old leader gave the order personally. If you really have any ideas, go talk to the old leader. I can't help you!"
Listening to the voice of his commander, Zhao Gang, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing, thinking that these two people were over a hundred years old together, but they were still like children.
Wu Dajiang hung up the phone with a smile, looked at Zhao Gang with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "Laugh if you want to. It's so uncomfortable to hold it in. Hahahaha!"
Looking at Wu Dajiang who was laughing heartily, Zhao Gang also smiled knowingly. He hadn't seen his commander so happy for a long time.
After the two laughed for a while, Wu Dajiang said, "Go and arrange for someone to deliver the second issue of the information to Xu Jianguo. Don't tell him about the timeliness. I believe this little guy is more anxious than we are right now."
"Yes!" Zhao Gang took the order and left.
Wu Dajiang sat on the chair, picked up the tea that had already turned cold, took a sip, and fell into deep thought.
Through the conversation with Lin Yuanzhi just now, Wu Dajiang further understood Xu Jianguo's translation level.
Lin Yuanzhi also said that Xu Jianguo should be able to do more than just translation. He would also write down his own understanding and ideas on the translated manuscripts, which included knowledge related to mechanical manufacturing, mechanics principles and electromagnetic waves.
According to Lin Yuanzhi's idea, talents like Xu Jianguo should join their Longxia Academy of Sciences. Only in this way can his potential be further explored.
Wu Dajiang knew Lin Yuanzhi and knew that he was not a person who spoke without thinking. Since he could say so, it showed that Xu Jianguo really had such ability.
Then how to arrange Xu Jianguo's next work becomes a difficult problem, and what kind of military rank to give him also needs to be carefully considered. If the rank is set too low, regardless of whether Xu Jianguo has any ideas or not, I am afraid that Lin Yuanzhi and other old guys as outsiders will not agree.
Wu Dajiang frowned, and unconsciously recalled what the old leader had said before. At that time, the old leader said on the phone that he needed to consider the issue of military rank. Xu Jianguo was a kid with great potential. While he was working at the Black Mountain Base, he asked Wu Dajiang to explore more about him. Maybe there would be other surprises.
"The old leader is the old leader. He really can predict things!" Wu Dajiang thought to himself.
He decided to call his old leader. After all, Xu Jianguo had not yet officially joined the army, and Lin Yuanzhi and other old guys from the Dragon Academy of Science were still watching closely. If they knew that Xu Jianguo and he had only a verbal agreement, there was no guarantee that they would not do something to intercept him halfway.
