When they left Ma Guoliang's house, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. Since Xu Jianguo had to go to the workshop to work later, he did not drink at noon.
The whole family sent Xu Jianguo, Wen Sitian and three little girls to the gate of the courtyard. The two families agreed to find an opportunity to get together next time and then separated.
The couple walked hand in hand on the way home, Funiu and Erya ran around in front, and Daya followed Wen Sitian. The afternoon sun shone on them, making them feel particularly warm.
"Wife, I have to go to the workshop soon. When I come back in the afternoon, you can take the three girls to take a nap. We have been busy these two days and are very tired!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, you should take care of your health too. Although I don't know what you are busy with, just do your best in everything and don't put too much pressure on yourself!" Wen Sitian said.
"Yeah, I know!" Xu Jianguo said.
After sending Wen Sitian and Funiu home, Xu Jianguo picked up his bag, slipped into the space, and then passed through the space-time portal to the grove near the 523 Institute.
The reason why he didn't go back to the workshop directly was because it was almost one o'clock and he was worried that his sudden appearance would be seen by Li Delong and others.
Sure enough, when he returned to the workshop, six apprentice workers had already arrived. When they saw Xu Jianguo coming in, they hurriedly stood up and wished him a happy new year.
Yesterday, when the six people took home the New Year's goods given by Xu Jianguo, everyone felt the long-lost joy of their parents and relatives. The families of all the apprentices repeatedly urged them to work hard and learn skills well. Therefore, the gratitude of several people to Xu Jianguo was even greater than before.
Xu Jianguo responded with a smile, and then assigned everyone today's work tasks. As the roar of machines sounded, the small workshop became busy again. Everyone worked hard, hoping to complete the projects they were making as soon as possible.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Up to now, most of the sample manufacturing work for several projects designed by Xu Jianguo has been completed, with only tactical helmets and low-light night vision goggles remaining to be manufactured.
Since today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Jianguo asked everyone to leave work two hours early and go home to have a reunion dinner with their families. He also gave each person two kilograms of Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings) and asked them to take them home for their families to try.
He took the Yuanxiao from the space supermarket. Because he was worried that the outer packaging would cause trouble, he asked Fu Bo to tear off the outer packaging in advance and re-pack it with oil paper.
Li Delong and his companions naturally expressed their gratitude again, and then happily went home with the Yuanxiao.
When Xu Jianguo returned home, Wen Sitian and the three children were already dressed and sitting in the living room waiting for him.
Yesterday afternoon, Xu Jianguo received a call from Ma Guoliang, inviting his family to dinner at his home. He did not refuse and agreed directly.
"Are you back?" Wen Sitian stood up from the sofa with difficulty and asked.
"Well, let's go!" Xu Jianguo walked over to help her, touched her belly, and said with a smile.
"Okay!" Wen Sitian nodded.
Carrying the things he had prepared in advance, Xu Jianguo led his family towards Ma Guoliang's house. This time, they were accompanied by their family's loyal guard, Xiao Hei.
This time when he went to Ma Guoliang's house, he did not prepare cigarettes or alcohol, but instead brought two pounds of pork, two pounds of hairtail fish, and two pounds of Yuanxiao.
After all, the century-old Moutai is hard to come by, and Panda cigarettes and Zhonghua cigarettes are even harder to get. He can't always take them out. It will inevitably arouse suspicion from others over time. Therefore, taking some common things appropriately is also a kind of self-protection.
When they arrived at Ma Guoliang's house, Tai Wei was already waiting at the door. Seeing Xu Jianguo coming, he hurried over to greet him and then took the things from him.
After the three girls greeted Tai Wei, Xiao Hei also walked over and rubbed against his legs, which frightened him.
There's no other reason, it's just that Xiao Hei's big body is too intimidating. Just standing there will give people a deep sense of fear.
"Why did you come just now, kid?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"There's nothing I can do. The work isn't finished yet!" Xu Jianguo said helplessly.
"Rome wasn't built in a day, so don't put too much pressure on yourself!" Ma Guoliang continued.
Xu Jianguo lowered his head in silence. He thought that what he said was correct, but he couldn't help but feel anxious for his grandfather, who had even called him a few days ago to ask about his progress.
"Where are my brother and the others?" Xu Jianguo changed the subject.
"I haven't come back yet. Several people have been transferred to new units, so there's a lot of work. Come on, play two games with me in the study!" Ma Guoliang said.
"Okay!" Xu Jianguo agreed and followed Ma Guoliang to the study.
Lin Wan poured water for the few people, took out a box of biscuits from under the coffee table and gave it to the three girls, then took Wen Sitian's hand and chatted about family matters, and also taught her some experience in delivery. After all, in about a month and a half, it would be time to deliver the baby.
In the study, Xu Jianguo and Ma Guoliang set up their chariots, horses, and cannons, and chatted while playing chess.
"Boy, how's the progress?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"It's almost done. What's left are the tactical helmet and night vision goggles. These two are more troublesome, so it will take some time." Xu Jianguo said truthfully.
"Well, the old leader called me and said that the situation in the west is not optimistic. He meant that if you can start testing the project you have completed in advance?" Ma Guoliang asked.
Xu Jianguo looked at Ma Guoliang in surprise. He didn't understand why the old man didn't mention this when he called him, so he said, "Of course, I can, but I'm busy right now. Can the experiment be held at our base?"
Ma Guoliang thought for a moment and said, "I'll have to ask the old leader about this, but I don't think it's a big problem."
After saying this, Ma Guoliang put down the chess piece in his hand, then stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
