A man with a pointed face and monkey-like features emerged from a corner, grinning as he called out, "Uncle, I'm back."
Old Zhang glanced at him, stood up with his hands behind his back, and said, "Alright, I'll go keep an eye on things. You two talk..."
Zhang Desheng gestured for everyone to sit down and asked, "How's the monkey?"
The monkey exclaimed dramatically, "Brother, you'll never guess! After I caught up with him, I followed him the whole time, only to find out that he actually..."
Zhang Desheng glanced at him and said, "Stop with the nonsense, just get to the point."
The monkey chuckled and scratched its ears and cheeks: "Hey, hey, I'll talk, I'll talk, it's a deadbeat..."
"How could it be him?"
He stood up in surprise, and the monkey immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, I didn't expect that either..."
Lao Lai was a long-time resident of Xiangyang Brigade. Zhang Desheng spat on the ground. No wonder that kid ran away so quickly. If they caught him red-handed, he would be finished.
But then he realized, "Wait a minute, even though Lao Lai is an only child, we all grew up together. We know what kind of person he is. He's such a lazy bum, when did he develop such good skills?"
The monkey was also stunned for a moment, then slapped its head and said, "Yeah... what happened then?"
"Are you sure you saw it clearly?"
"Seeing it clearly is clearer than anything else!"
Zhang Desheng frowned: "Go wait at the village entrance. When he comes back, we'll go to his house and have a chat with him."

At the postal and telecommunications equipment factory, the installation of air conditioning improved the work efficiency of the research lab. One night, everyone finally looked at the materials in their hands and tentatively began to disseminate information...
After the line was connected using special technology, the phone rang and the call was answered...
"Hello……"
It was just a simple word, but Director Wu, who was in charge of the testing, couldn't help but rub his ears...
Holding onto the table, he said, "Wait, I... I'll try another one..."
He picked up the phone he had been using earlier and gestured for Old Meng on the other end to speak again...
"Hello……"
Old Meng did as instructed.
He was holding a microphone in one hand.
The technicians watching intently were itching to do the testing themselves. "Factory manager, we can test it for you..."
Aren't you tired of carrying two microphones by yourself?
He then gestured for Lao Meng to continue, saying that he would be testing Lao Meng with a tongue twister. Lao Meng would then recite it smoothly and without slurring his words, as he was used to doing tests regularly.
On the other end of the phone, Factory Director Wu first listened to the call using the original microphone, then switched to the new one, rubbing his ears repeatedly in the process.
Those around him watched him intently, waiting for his answer. In truth, the difference wasn't significant at such a short testing distance, but a pair of sensitive ears could detect the discrepancy. Factory Director Wu finally relaxed and said, "I really understand..."
Other researchers couldn't wait to try it, and then cheered...
This is the result of their research day and night. They haven't been home for so many days because of this work, and their children probably wouldn't recognize them if they went back.
Fan Xiaofan stood to the side, watching everyone's joyful smiles.
In the research room, some people had more gray hair, some were in tears, and some were squatting on the ground, burying their faces in their hands and crying.
The emotions that everyone had been suppressing for a while seemed to be released all at once, like the Yellow River rushing thousands of miles in an instant.
