Su Jindong was brainwashed all night and wrote self-reflection materials until late at night before he could sleep.
The next day, as soon as Li Yueniang got up, she saw Song Jingzhou squatting at the door brushing his teeth.
Although she can no longer practice the Five Animal Frolics during this period, her biological clock, honed over many years, still allows her to wake up on time.
"Good morning, Grandma."
"Good morning, good morning, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Song Jingzhou spat out the water in his mouth and replied, "Grandma, I'm used to it. Qingci will be getting up soon, so I need to hurry up and make breakfast."
What would you like to eat for breakfast, Grandma?
"How about I make some porridge?"
Li Yueniang looked at her with loving eyes, "Oh, you child, how could I let you do it?"
"I just got off the bus yesterday. After such a long journey, I should get a good rest today."
"You're sitting here; it's not your turn yet."
Li Yueniang turned and went back into the house, saying, "Su Jindong, are you a pig? You eat and sleep so much, are you in confinement? Get up!"
"Everyone else in the family is up, but you're still sleeping. You're so lazy."
“What’s the use of raising you all these years? For the past few decades, I’ve been getting up early every morning to cook for you. Now that I’m old and my health is failing, you’re getting up later than me, the patient.”
Song Jingzhou interjected at just the right moment, "Grandma, just let them sleep. Jin Dong was writing materials until midnight last night."
"Making breakfast is something I do when I get up early anyway, so I just do it quickly."
"Let Jin Dong get some rest. We haven't been around for a while, and you're not feeling well, so thank you for taking care of him."
"Now that we're back, it's time to give him a break."
"Grandma, you sit down first. Anyway, I know where the food is. I'll do it."
Su Jindong rushed out with disheveled clothes and dark circles under his eyes. Hearing Song Jingzhou's words as soon as he came out, he couldn't help but call out to his good brother in his heart.
Li Yueniang looked even more gentle, what a sensible and good child.
Song Jingzhou was very diligent. Under Li Yueniang's guidance, he cooked white porridge, took some pickled vegetables from the jar, chopped them up and stir-fried them, and finally fried four very beautiful poached eggs.
The smile on Li Yueniang's face never faded.
While Song Jingzhou brought out the porridge and set the table, Su Qingci also got up.
Song Jingzhou, with his keen eye, went over to pour her water and get her a handkerchief. His practiced manner and Su Qingci's matter-of-fact expression suggested that he had done this kind of thing quite often before.
The old lady, who doted on her granddaughter, couldn't stand it anymore and mentioned Su Qingci several times during the meal.
After breakfast, Song Jingzhou packed up the materials and, with Su Qingci in tow, headed to the military base in the suburbs.
Su Jindong still hasn't finished the 10,000-word self-criticism he stayed up all night last night. He needs to keep working on it, so he's spending time at home with his elderly parents.
Before Song Jingzhou was discharged from the army, he was stationed in a military camp. Above the camp were regiments, and above the regiments were divisions. This time, he was recalled by a special department at the very top.
This department is called the General Armaments Department of the Left Wing Group Army of the Fifth War Zone.
China's military is divided into five branches: Navy, Army, Air Force, Rocket Force, and Strategic Support Force.
Each branch of the military is further divided into more branches, such as the infantry, armored forces, artillery, and more than ten other types of troops under the army.
Similarly, the General Armaments Department also split into various branches of service, including those responsible for the procurement, distribution, custody, maintenance, and research and development of combat weapons, and even departments specializing in the research and development of hypersonic missiles, particle weapons, and electromagnetic weapons.
This place not only gathers elites from all over the world, but is also a place that many powerful figures want to get their hands on.
Song Jingzhou, accompanied by Su Qingci and holding the notification slip, was led through several turns before finally being taken to a four-story building to wait.
A young soldier from the Foreign Affairs Department brought out a cup and poured hot tea.
Before the two could even settle in, a man in his fifties with glasses and a full beard rushed out.
"Where, where?"
"Is that you? You're the little brat from the 112th Regiment who handed in the gun parts blueprints?"
A sharp glint flashed in Song Jingzhou's eyes as he slowly stood up from his chair. "It's me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man rushed over, grabbed Song Jingzhou, and dragged him outside.
"Didn't we send you a recall notice a long time ago? Why are you only coming now?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, isn't this delaying things?"
"Our entire team studied that diagram for two months, and we discovered that it could not only be used to improve small arms, but even large firearms..."
Song Jingzhou struggled to say, "Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm waiting for Minister Wang."
The old man turned around and said, "Oh, I don't have time to wait for him."
"Hey, Li, when Lao Wang comes later, have him come directly to the lab to find us."
The young man pouring the water quickly stood at attention. "Yes, Vice Dean Zhang."
Seeing that he couldn't shake off the old man, Song Jingzhou quickly turned around and greeted Su Qingci.
"Comrade Qingci, wait for me here. Don't wander off. Just wait here for me. I'll be right back."
Before Su Qingci could even react, the person had already disappeared.
Seeing Su Qingci looking innocently out the door, the young man next to her quickly explained.
"That's Vice President Zhang from the Engineering Research Institute of our General Armament Department."
"Don't worry, he must have encountered something when he took Comrade Song there."
“Vice President Zhang is the one who has the authority to formulate weapons development plans in our theater command. He is obsessed with weapons research.”
"He led the development of domestically produced weapons and made tremendous contributions to our national security."
"And his temper is also... hehe."
The young comrade, for some reason, suddenly changed the subject.
Looking at Su Qingci with envy, she said, "If Comrade Song can catch his eye, he'll rise to the top in one step and have a bright future."
Su Qingci was completely dumbfounded. Her mind hadn't caught up yet, and it sounded like she had arrived at some incredible place.
I originally thought that joining the army would give me a quiet job, which would both kill time and provide me with a safety net.
this.....
Deputy Director of the Engineering Academy of the General Armaments Department?
That sounds incredibly awesome...
Su Qingci, unusually, sat quietly in place and waited, and waited until noon.
Xiao Li, who was in charge of the reception, took Su Qingci to the cafeteria for a working meal and then returned to the reception room to continue waiting.
Over time, the two became acquainted.
"Comrade Li, you don't look very old. How many years have you been in the army?"
Xiao Li's real name is Li Zicai. He is 23 years old this year. He has a baby face and his eyes still have the clarity of a college student from a later generation.
“I have been in the army for 5 years and was only transferred to the Foreign Affairs Department this year. Before that, I was in charge of the warehouse for 4 years.”
Before Song Jingzhou returned, he said that he might be given an important position.
She was immediately pulled away by the vice dean upon arrival, and Su Qingci probably understood that she might actually be brought in by him.
So I also want to learn more about the military.
Xiao Li didn't know much, but he was a warm and simple person. With Su Qingci's subtle questioning, he managed to get a general understanding of the situation.
