"I understand!" Xu Jianguo said seriously.
"Who taught you that?"
“I researched it myself!”
"You're kidding! If everyone could do their own research, what would be the point of all those universities in our country? Come on, just go to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering!"
"No, no! Don't be impatient, just listen to me!" Xu Jianguo refused without thinking, but when he saw Ma Guoliang's expression, he hurriedly added another sentence.
Ma Guoliang was about to lash out, but after hearing Xu Jianguo's words, he had to suppress his anger temporarily and said, "Go on!"
"You know I'm proficient in mechanical principles, but you don't know that I've loved guns since I was a child. When I was a child, I followed the village militia and learned about the structure and principles of firearms. So when I have free time, I like to design some guns according to my own ideas."
Ma Guoliang didn't say anything, he knew this guy must have something else to say.
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and continued, "Let's put it this way. First, no matter how much I say, it's useless. Can you please give me a note? I'll build a gun according to my previous idea and pay for it myself. If this gun doesn't satisfy you, I won't mention it again and will go back to work at the Mechanical Research Institute."
"Are you serious?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"Yes, seriously!" Xu Jianguo nodded.
"Okay, I agree to your request, but we must keep our word and not cheat!"
"No joking in the army!!" Xu Jianguo stood up at attention and said loudly.
"Okay! I hope you can give me a surprise! Send me the list of materials you need and I will ask someone to prepare it for you!" Ma Guoliang said.
"Yes, thank you, Chief!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Ma Guoliang waved his hand without saying anything. Instead, he opened a drawer, took out a file bag, placed it in front of Xu Jianguo, and said, "Take a look. This is the country's reward and recognition for your hard work. I hope you can keep up the good work and continue to make greater contributions to the country!"
Seeing his serious expression, Xu Jianguo seemed to have guessed something, so he opened the seal of the file bag and took out the contents.
The bag contained an officer's ID card, two pairs of brand new lieutenant colonel shoulder straps, and two small red-lacquered wooden boxes.
He looked at the epaulettes and his breathing became a little rapid. After taking a deep breath, he opened the two small boxes.
There were two boxes containing a shining military medal, one first-class and one second-class.
Seeing Xu Jianguo's nervous expression, Ma Guoliang couldn't help but smile with relief, but in his heart he was complaining, "I thought you were fearless, but it turns out you get excited even when you see a military medal!"
"First-class merit is awarded for your contribution to completing the data at the Black Mountain base. The test was very successful, and it can be regarded as filling a gap in our country's radar field!"
"The second-class merit is to commend what you have done at the Rongcheng base. Our base originally planned to hold a commendation meeting for you, but I put it on hold. I hope you don't mind. I did this to protect you. I believe you also understand the truth that the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Ma Guoliang said.
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he wanted to rush up and hug the old man and kiss him twice. He was really grateful to him.
There was no other reason, it was just because Xu Jianguo knew clearly that it would be of no benefit to him if he was too popular at this time. After all, when the "storm" came in a few years, the higher one climbed, the harder it would hurt when he fell.
So it is better to keep a low profile. He doesn't want to make himself known to everyone. This will not only be of no benefit to him and his family, but may also make him a target of people with ulterior motives.
Looking at Ma Guoliang, Xu Jianguo nodded gratefully and said, "Commander, I understand the reasoning. To be honest, your arrangement is exactly what I want. Please don't let me become famous. Really, on behalf of our family, I want to thank you for all your eight generations of ancestors!"
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, Ma Guoliang's mouth twitched and he thought to himself, if you don't know how to speak, then don't speak!
"Okay, go back. Don't forget to come home for dinner tonight!" Ma Guoliang waved his hand and said.
"No, Chief, I still have something to say!" Xu Jianguo said helplessly as he put away the things on the table.
"What else? I get a headache every time I hear that you have something wrong. Could you please stop torturing my old bones?" Ma Guoliang said, holding his chest.
"Hehe, not really, not really! You are in very good health. I can do such a small thing with just a nod of your head!" Xu Jianguo said with a grin.
"Huh!" Ma Guoliang exhaled a breath of foul air and asked unhappily, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's like this..." So Xu Jianguo told Ma Guoliang about Daya and Erya.
"Is that it? Is there anything else?" Ma Guoliang did not agree directly, but continued to ask.
“It really exists!”
"Can you finish your words in one breath?"
"The three girls are already quite old. I want to arrange for Daya to go to school, and Erya and Funiu to go to kindergarten!"
"Anything else?"
"Yes, my wife is pregnant. Can you please not arrange for me to go out on missions recently?"
"Are you done?"
"That's it! Everything is really fine this time!" Xu Jianguo said with some guilt.
"Okay, I'll talk to the logistics people later. The child's household registration is not a problem, they will arrange schooling. As for whether An arranges you to go on a mission or not, it's not up to me. If you really need to go on a mission, you don't have to worry about your family. I will arrange female soldiers to take care of them!" Ma Guoliang said.
"I……"
"You are a soldier, and obeying orders is your duty. What conditions do you have to negotiate?!" Ma Guoliang said with a frown.
Xu Jianguo curled his lips, and finally nodded helplessly and agreed: "Then... then okay!"
Ma Guoliang glared at him and said, "If you're okay, get out! If you don't leave now, the logistics staff will be off work!"
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo stood up quickly and turned away.
"Smelly boy, don't forget to bring the wine with you when you go there tonight!" Ma Guoliang's voice came from behind.
"I know!"
Hearing Xu Jianguo's voice in the corridor, Ma Guoliang immediately smiled, then he picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
"Hello!" Su Dingshan's voice came from the phone.
"Old Chief, I'm Ma Guoliang!"
