"Dad, Mom, I'm here to bring you ice cream!"
Lele's soft and obviously lacking confidence was heard, and the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room suddenly became joyful.
Looking at the cute little girl with a guilty look on her face, even Wen Sitian, who was standing with her hands on her hips, felt like her defenses were broken.
"Puchi~" The first one to laugh was Funiu, followed by Wen Sitian, and then Xu Jianguo also laughed out loud.
As her parents and aunt smiled, the little girl's nervousness relaxed. However, when she looked at the ice cream in her two little hands, she suddenly showed a conflicted expression.
Looking at his daughter's conflicted expression, Xu Jianguo walked over and picked her up.
Wen Sitian, who had finished laughing, came over and slapped Lele on the butt in an unpleasant manner. She said, "Don't steal ice cream again, or I'll spank you next time!"
"Oh!" Lele lowered his head and agreed with some grievance.
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. Go have ice cream with your aunt. After you're done, play by yourself and don't disturb your aunt while she's doing her homework!" Wen Sitian said.
Originally, Lele thought that he would not be able to have ice cream today, but unexpectedly, his mother changed the subject and actually agreed. An expression of surprise immediately appeared on his little face.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really!"
"Wow, thank you, Mom. Long live Mom!" Lele raised his little hands and cheered.
After the little girl finished shouting, she twisted her body and asked Wen Sitian for a hug. After she threw herself into her arms, she hugged her neck and kissed her.
After giving Lele a few more instructions and asking her not to make trouble, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian left Funniu's room.
…
After staying in the space for two days, Xu Jianguo returned home and called Mr. Zhou to tell him that his problems had been resolved.
The old man was very happy after receiving Xu Jianguo's call and asked about the research and development progress of the attack drone.
When he learned that the drone was ready for testing except for a few external accessories, the old man immediately made arrangements.
He asked Xu Jianguo to wait for him at the research institute when he went to work tomorrow. He would come to find him. He only needed to cooperate to complete the test and keep records of the data. He didn't need to worry about the rest.
Xu Jianguo naturally accepted this arrangement with pleasure. The grandfather and grandson chatted for a few more words, agreed to go to the old man's house for dinner in a few days, and then hung up the phone.
Then Xu Jianguo called Su Dingshan again, and thinking that he had not contacted Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang for a long time, he also called them.
During the phone call, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang both received the news that they would be transferred to Jingzhou soon. As for who told them, it was probably no one else but Mr. Su.
Xu Jianguo curled his lips helplessly, thinking that the old man had told him not to talk nonsense, but he didn't expect that he had told it first.
The day passed in a flash, and Xu Jianguo welcomed his first working day after his vacation.
Because Wen Sitian was transferred to the Ministry of Commerce, Xu Jianguo finally realized his dream of going to and from get off work with his wife.
After the four little ones left, Xu Jianguo put Daya's bicycle in the trunk of the car, and then took her and Wen Sitian away from home.
Because it was on the way, Xu Jianguo would send his aunt and sister-in-law to the Ministry of Commerce together every day, and then Daya would ride her bicycle to Jingzhou University, which was much closer than her original route of riding a bicycle from home.
After sending the two of them off, Xu Jianguo drove into the red-walled compound and stopped in front of an independent courtyard in the northeast corner of the compound. This was the location of the Longxia State Military Industry Research Institute.
Although this place is also called a yard, its area is definitely larger than what ordinary people think of as a yard.
The ground area of the courtyard is nearly 6,000 square meters. In addition to the artificial lake and rockery corridor, there are three two-story buildings arranged in a triangular shape. The straight-line distance between each building is less than 100 meters.
These three buildings serve as offices for the institute's security, administrative and logistics staff. Xu Jianguo's office is located on the second floor of the middle building, and the offices of the other three deputy directors are in the other two small buildings.
But if someone thinks that this is all there is to the research institute, then I can only say that you have underestimated Longxia Country.
Hidden beneath the three small buildings is a huge underground space, which is the core of the institute.
The underground space is divided into three floors, which house the institute's different research departments and groups. Each research group has its own laboratory and small workshop.
In order to ensure the safety of the Red Wall Compound, all projects developed by the institute are not allowed to have actual combat capabilities during the manufacturing of prototypes.
For example, if the research institute develops a new type of grenade, the small workshop here is only authorized to manufacture parts and is not allowed to add gunpowder into it.
After these parts are manufactured, they will be sent through a special passage located 70 meters underground in the research institute to an arsenal in the eastern suburbs of Jingzhou for adding gunpowder.
This military factory is hidden in a military base located deep in the mountains. The base belongs to the Jingzhou Military Region, and the arsenal is directly managed by the institute. The base has various well-equipped testing sites.
Preliminary tests on attack drones will be carried out here.
For the guards at the gate of the compound, not to mention that they had already memorized the license plate number of Director Xu Jianguo, just looking at the huge body of the car, it was unique in the entire red-walled compound.
But even so, the guards did not let them go directly. In order to ensure sufficient safety, they still had to check them.
Xu Jianguo had no objection to this. After all, it was always right to be cautious.
After checking Xu Jianguo's ID, the guard saluted him and the jeep was allowed to pass.
When Xu Jianguo walked into the small building, a young man in a white coat immediately came up to him and called out, "Captain Xu, you're back?"
