Time flies!
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since Wenwen was born. Now the little guy not only has a nickname, but also has his own full name, Xu Zhengyang.
Since the little guy's birthday in the Gregorian calendar is March 31, 1962, which is the 27th day of the second lunar month, and the lunar calendar is also called Zhongyang and Mao month, and "Dragon Raising its Head" is also in the second month of the lunar calendar.
The "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Sima Xiangru" also records that Zhengyang appeared and awakened the people. Zhengyang refers to the dragon. The ancients believed that the dragon was a yang and a symbol of a noble king, so it was called Zhengyang.
Therefore, Xu Jianguo took the meaning of Zhongyang and the dragon raising its head and named Wenwen Zhengyang.
This also symbolizes Xu Jianguo's hope that his son will become successful. In short, this name has won unanimous praise from the whole family.
When the baby was one month old, Xu Jianguo invited Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang's families to his home to celebrate, and then he invited Li Delong and others to prepare a special meal in the office cafeteria. Of course, he paid for the food himself, after all, it was better to avoid trouble at this time.
In addition to notifying his close comrades, Xu Jianguo also wrote letters to Li Mancang and Li Erniu who were far away in Sandaliang Village to report the good news.
Ever since Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian settled down in the Binhai Base, he has been keeping in touch with the elders in his hometown through letters.
However, what made Xu Jianguo a little worried was that in the letter he received from Li Mancang a few days ago, he learned that Li Dashan's health was not very good. After all, the old man was already in his seventies or eighties. Although he was a soldier in the past, the hidden disease in his body eventually broke out.
Anyway, according to the diagnosis of the doctor at the county hospital, the old man's condition is not very optimistic, and they can't say for sure how long he can live.
After reading the letter, Xu Jianguo felt a little melancholy. Finally, with the guidance of Wen Sitian, he gradually returned to his previous state.
After the people who came to eat left, Xu Jianguo held Wenwen in his arms and walked home with Wen Sitian and the three girls.
On the way, Wen Sitian said, "Jianguo, the weather is getting warmer now. If you're not busy, can you ask for some family leave and take the children back to visit?"
Xu Jianguo turned to look at Wen Sitian and said with a smile, "Well, that's fine. I'll ask the commander later."
Daya and Erya, who were standing by, didn't react after hearing the couple's conversation. They would go wherever their brother and sister-in-law went.
But Funiu was different. When she heard that they were going back to Sandaliang Village, she immediately shouted, "Brother, sister-in-law, are we going back to the village?"
"Well, it's not certain yet. It depends on whether your brother is busy at work. If he is not busy, we will go back and take a look." Wen Sitian said with a smile while touching Funniu's little head.
"Okay, okay, I want to go back to see Brother Shitou, Sister Yan Zi, and Sister Erni!" Funiu chattered.
Looking at the innocent and bright smile on the little girl's face, Xu Jianguo's homesickness was also alleviated a lot.
In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-May. During this month, Xu Jianguo led the six workers in the small workshop to complete the manufacturing of new equipment.
Among the new projects this time, the more difficult ones are the bulletproof vests, explosion-proof military boots and pistols and daggers. The development of the new tactical flashlight has been slow due to battery technology issues, and was later temporarily shelved by Xu Jianguo.
That day, when Xu Jianguo led Li Delong and others to assemble the parts of the pistol and dagger, the phone on the desk in the inner room rang.
"Hello, I'm Xu Jianguo!"
"Jianguo, if you are not busy, come to the headquarters!" Ma Guoliang's voice came from the receiver.
"Yes, I'll go there now!" Xu Jianguo agreed.
After talking to Li Delong and others, Xu Jianguo drove the jeep out of the 523 Institute and headed towards the headquarters.
Tai Wei was still standing at the office door. When he saw Xu Jianguo coming, he smiled and said, "Are you here?"
"Yeah!" Xu Jianguo nodded with a smile.
"Report!" Xu Jianguo shouted.
"Come in!" Ma Guoliang's voice came from the office.
Xu Jianguo pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that Ma Guoliang was the only one in the room, he relaxed and said, "Commander, what's the matter?"
"Hey, you came pretty quickly today. What's the matter? Are you done over there?" Ma Guoliang asked with a smile, taking out a cigarette from the box and throwing it to him.
During this period, because he often stayed with Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang, two heavy smokers, Xu Jianguo gradually learned to smoke. However, he was not addicted to it. He would just smoke if others gave it to him. However, he never carried cigarettes or lighters in his pocket. If this happened in later generations, it would definitely be a behavior that would be despised.
Xu Jianguo picked up Ma Guoliang's match, lit his cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Commander, have you arranged for someone to keep an eye on me?"
"Bullshit, I'm the commander of the base. How can I hide any movement down there from you?" Ma Guoliang said.
"Great, it's indeed done. Except for the tactical flashlight project which has been suspended, the assembly and manufacturing work of all projects has been completed before I came here just now." Xu Jianguo gave Ma Guoliang a thumbs up and said.
"That's great!" Ma Guoliang slapped the table and said excitedly when he heard it.
Xu Jianguo was not surprised that he had such emotions. After all, it was already May, and in his previous life memory, Longxia Kingdom's self-defense counterattack against Yindu was about to begin, so he understood Ma Guoliang's mood at the moment.
"Commander, is there going to be any movement in the west?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Okay, the sensitivity is good. Indeed, I just received a call from the old leader. The personnel in charge of testing will arrive tonight and start testing the new equipment overnight. In addition, the second batch of workers will also be in place. If the test passes, our 523rd Institute will be converted into an arsenal on site for production and manufacturing." Ma Guoliang said.
"Produce here? Has the transportation problem been solved? Why not produce directly in the west? Besides, with our limited productivity, how many people can be equipped with the products we produce?" Xu Jianguo asked several questions in a row.
