Finally, news came from the military region that Chen Zhiyuan and his mother had bought train tickets and returned home!
Upon receiving the news, Xiao Gengwu was finally relieved. He knew, of course, that his mother-in-law, Yao Yanxin, had been wavering ever since she learned of the attack by the mother and son.
She probably feared that Yao Tongjia would end up like her mother, getting married without Old Mrs. Chen's consent and ultimately getting divorced.
But he wasn't Chen Zhiyuan, nor was he a spineless coward with impure motives. He said that his mother asked him to do it, but in fact, he enjoyed that arrangement very much.
He was just blaming others for his mistakes. He was able to marry Yao Tongjia, so he would definitely do everything he could to protect her. How could he let her fall into a predicament?
Actually, he knew more than just this one secret. As long as Old Mrs. Chen didn't bother him, he was fine. But if she dared to bother him, he would make her regret it!
Two groups of uninvited guests arrived, and then everything was peaceful. Yao Tongjia occasionally went to the workshop to help out, and spent the rest of her time learning with Xiao Gengwu.
Xiao Gengwu asked the soldiers who were training on the mountain to cut down several trees, and he tinkered with them to make a new type of pistol, which made Ruan Shengpeng very excited.
Although it was just a wooden gun, the experienced Ruan Shengpeng immediately recognized its value. He treasured it and no longer dared to give him a hard time.
He took Xiao Gengwu to the armory, gave him the parts, and had him make the gun.
As Xiao Gengwu touched the metal parts in his hand, his heart was boiling, like water at 100 degrees Celsius, almost about to burst forth. He seemed to know what he liked and what major he liked.
He spent three days tinkering in the armory by himself, and with the help of the master craftsman, he managed to tinker with a new type of pistol.
When he received the pistol, Ruan Shengpeng was reluctant to let others test it, but as the highest leader of the military region, his safety was of paramount importance.
In the end, Hawkeye got the chance to test the gun, and Ruan Shengpeng went with him. Seeing that Hawkeye's accuracy was almost 100%, he couldn't hold back any longer!
He grabbed the pistol and started firing. It was relatively light, but the range was several meters longer than before, and the accuracy was much higher.
After testing the gun, Ruan Shengpeng almost worshipped Xiao Gengwu. Although he was not very satisfied, such a child would be a good son-in-law!
He succumbed to Xiao Gengwu's influence and never dared to be jealous or speak sarcastically again.
Xiao Gengwu paid the price of improving all the guns. He could only study with Yao Jia and her brother at night, but for a genius like him, that was enough.
He had previously taken on several translation jobs for Lao Pan and earned an extra 10,000 yuan. He transferred all of this money directly to his original savings account and entrusted it to Yao Tongjia for safekeeping.
Yao Tongjia even jokingly asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the money?"
Xiao Gengwu didn't care: "You're satisfied with this little bit of money? I'll give you more in the future, don't you want more?"
Who wouldn't want more money? Yao Tongjia knew she was tempted. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a treasure of a boy who was completely devoted to her?
Days passed by like this. That morning, the siblings were listening to the news on the radio. Yao Tongjia knew that her weakness lay in politics.
However, politics is now a required subject, and one must avoid the key points. Since graduating and coming here, she has been paying close attention to the intake of political content.
Suddenly she heard some exciting news: "The college entrance examination has started again!"
She jumped up, grabbed the radio, and ran to Ruan Shengpeng's office: "Dad, the college entrance exam is being retaken! Listen to the news!"
Ruan Shengpeng also stood up abruptly. Everyone was aware of the recent college entrance examination situation, but there had been no clear news.
It still made everyone a little uneasy, but now the news has been released, clearly stating that the college entrance examination has finally started again. That's great!
He picked up the phone: "Call all the senior officials to a meeting to discuss the matter of restarting the college entrance examination!"
After giving instructions about the meeting, he turned and patted his daughter's head: "The exam is in a little over a month. I've asked Xiao Gengwu to come back and help you prepare for it!"
Ruan Shengpeng only recently came to deeply appreciate Xiao Gengwu's high intelligence, which must be inherited from a previous generation. Looking at Chen Zhiyuan's pathetic state, his intelligence is worrying.
Where can one pass on high intelligence to their son? Xiao Yan's intelligence is only average. That means Xiao Yan's parents passed it on to Xiao Gengwu across generations. In this way, will their grandchildren also have high intelligence?
Ruan Shengpeng was secretly pleased with himself, and he completely stopped resisting. He didn't even realize that he had been softened by Xiao Gengwu!
Since entering the armory, Xiao Gengwu has not only developed two or three new firearms, but also improved older models, resulting in firearms with higher accuracy.
The key difference is that the gun has more space, which can hold more bullets, and even if the bullets run out, the reloading speed is much faster.
Remember, speed is life. If you can be a fraction of a second faster, you're reaping someone else's life instead of waiting to die yourself.
Ruan Shengpeng didn't keep anything to himself and had Xiao Gengwu write down the details of the improvements, which he then gave directly to the top leader. The top leader was so pleased that he wanted to reward him.
How could Ruan Shengpeng take away his future son-in-law's reward? He told him the situation directly and even mentioned the child's maternal grandparents. The senior leader immediately ordered someone to investigate the situation of the two elderly people.
These are all pillars of the nation; we can't let our children feel disheartened!
The top leader originally intended to promote the person to the national firearms research institute, but Ruan Shengpeng directly stated that the child only had a high school education.
With such qualifications, going to a research institute is burying talent!
The top leader, considering the upcoming policies, said, "Then let the child study hard first; good news will come later!"
Ruan Shengpeng certainly knew what the good news was. He had foreseen it; the news had indeed arrived: all three children would have bright futures.
While Ruan Shengpeng was gratified, he was also melancholy, as it meant that his three children would be leaving him, and he would likely have to work in this military region until retirement!
During their late-night conversation, Yao Yanxin was the first to shed tears: "Our three children have always had good grades, and they should be leaving this place after this exam!"
Ruan Shengpeng put aside his melancholy: "Children also need to have their own paths. What we can do is to guard the rear and provide them with a comfortable place to stay when they want to come back!"
At this time, Ruan Shengpeng missed his old father, Old Man Ruan, terribly. Old Man Ruan had been holding onto his position and was not sure if he would retire, also wanting to give himself a way out.
But I didn't appreciate it and came here directly. Now that the old man doesn't live with Grandma Ruan anyway, why don't we let him come and stay for a while!
