Originally, before leaving, An Jingzhi wanted to see if the plane he had previously dismantled and placed in the warehouse for dismantling could be repaired.
I took another look at it before he left, but in the end I didn't say anything. Many parts didn't need major repairs at all, and it was a waste of resources.
It would be better to use this good resource to build an airplane factory.
Just wait a moment, just wait a little longer.
After happily seeing off An Jingzhijing's wife and returning to the office, not long after he sat down, someone knocked on his door.
"Come in."
After the voice fell, a man walked in from outside.
The other person walked up to the base commander and asked, "Chief, do we still need to find steaks for those foreign maintenance workers?"
The base commander sneered, "Steak? Ignore them. They have plenty of meat, eggs, and milk every day. They give you whatever you want. Their appetites are getting bigger and bigger."
The person in front of him asked hesitantly, "So you're just going to leave it alone?"
The base commander said without hesitation, "Leave them alone." Although he really wanted to drive these people away and send them back to where they came from, he was not sure at the moment.
After a moment's thought, he added, "Just like before, but if they make any unreasonable demands, just ignore them."
Just as the man was about to go out, another person knocked on the door and walked in.
"Commander, I don't know what's wrong with those foreign maintenance workers. They offered to help us check if there are any problems with the other planes."
Every time they had to serve others before they would reluctantly help with the inspection, but this time they actually took the initiative for the first time.
"I guess he was stimulated." The base commander thought for a while and understood. Although China is backward, it gives the best treatment to those maintenance workers.
These maintenance workers are treasures here, but not necessarily in their own country.
They must have seen how effortlessly An Jingzhi helped them repair the plane, and realized that they were not unique, so they were just showing off.
"Let them check it out," the base commander ordered. "That's great. Since they've taken the initiative, let them check all the planes."
…
After returning home and arriving at the steel plant, An Guosheng still had a smile on his face after they separated.
Wang Caiping, who was chatting outside, saw the two people in charge and greeted them, "Hey? Where are you from?" It was already time to get off work.
"I went out for a walk." An Guosheng said with a smile.
"Auntie Wang." An Jingzhi greeted politely.
Wang Caiping said, "Jingzhi, wait a moment." Then she quickened her pace and returned home.
The father and son looked at each other helplessly. After waiting for a while, Wang Caiping came out of the house with a furry thing in her hand.
She stepped forward and looked at An Jingzhi lovingly. "These are the gloves I made for you. They're fleece inside and leather outside. They're windproof and warm. Wear them when you ride your bike, and you won't get cold."
An Jingzhi looked down at the leather gloves that were forced into his hands by the other party, "This, this is too expensive." It looked like it was made of rabbit fur.
"What's so expensive about it? It's not worth much. I collected it from the villagers in the surrounding countryside. It just takes some effort. I can make it while working."
"Please take it quickly. I also have to go home to pack up and get ready for work." After saying that, Wang Caixia turned around and left.
Looking at the pair of rabbit fur gloves in his hand, An Jingzhi looked at An Guosheng again.
"Just take what's given to you, and ask your mother to make something and send it over later."
…
After dealing with the plane issue, An Jingzhi went to work and came home as usual every day.
While he was drawing airplane drawings, he was also drawing machine tool drawings.
If you want to build a good airplane, machine tools are indispensable tools.
Relying on manual polishing is ultimately a last resort.
China's machine tools are like its aircraft. It should be said that many of China's machines, like its aircraft, are imported from foreign countries.
China's paper currency is not recognized internationally, so the country can only rely on buying food, daily necessities and clothing from others, and the most recognized thing internationally is grain.
Make the already poor country even poorer.
An Jingzhi, who was riding his bicycle home while thinking about the machine tool, suddenly stepped on the brakes and stared blankly at the familiar face in front of him.
The man, wearing a fur hat, smiled and said, "Why? Don't you recognize me?"
An Jingzhi really didn't expect that Liang Xingguo would come to him on his own initiative.
When the original owner was planning to stay in the United States, he had already fallen out with him. Later, after An Jingzhi completed the manufacturing of the aircraft, Liang Xingguo served as the test pilot that time. That was the first time An Jingzhi met Liang Xingguo.
An Jing got off the bicycle, put his feet on the ground, held the bicycle with both hands, and pushed it to the other party, "Why are you here?"
The other party raised his fist and gently hit An Jingzhi's chest, "Is there nothing wrong? Can't I come to see you? After all, we've been comrades for several years, and why are you so indifferent to me?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go home and park my bike."
An Jingzhi didn't understand the other party's intention and kept thinking on the way home after putting the bicycle away.
Liang Xingguo should know some inside information about this matter.
In the original owner's memory, his relationship with Liang Xingguo could be said to be the best.
After saying hello to Li Hongjuan at home, An Jingzhi brought Liang Xingguo to the cafeteria. After getting their meal, they sat in a corner.
When the two faced each other in silence.
"sorry."
When An Jingzhi heard this sudden apology, he looked up at the other person in surprise.
Liang Xingguo continued, "I misunderstood you at the beginning. I apologize for my words and actions back then."
"You're not a deserter."
He had wanted to ask when he met An Jingzhi before, but the time was not right. He also had a mission to complete at that time. After completing the mission, he didn't expect that he could still save his life.
Because of this mission, his rank was raised, and he learned a lot of things he didn't know before.
This time I came here specifically to apologize.
"You don't know the inside story, so it's correct for you to react like that," said An Jingzhi.
The original owner was indeed a deserter, he was just replaced, and Liang Xingguo did not wrongly accuse the original owner.
Liang Xingguo said ashamedly, "Everyone says that we pilots are heroes in the sky. Compared to us, you are the real hero."
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "Everyone who does his or her job and contributes to this country is a hero."
The two smiled at each other, and all the misunderstandings disappeared.
"Do you know Ge Bing? And Fu Jianguo, Zheng Cheng... They all died."
"I... I'm the only one among our group of pilots who survived, besides you."
As they talked, the two of them couldn't help but talk about their comrades.
Liang Xingguo's eyes were red, and the voice and appearance of his comrades kept replaying in his mind.
