Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Shadan continued to stay in the arsenal in northern Shaanxi, improving the treatment of the arsenal workers in all aspects, and also working hard to support the supplies and firearms situation on the front line.

As time passed, Shadan's name gradually spread throughout northern Shaanxi.

He is not only the soul of the arsenal, but also a hero in the hearts of the soldiers.

His story is just like the loess, plain and simple yet tenacious.

In the blink of an eye, it was 1958, and the dream of the research institute was like the mountains in the distance. Although it was temporarily hidden in the clouds, he believed that one day he would climb up.

At this time, in addition to aircraft, German equipment even included tanks.

Is it just the output?

A little uncomfortable!

The machine tools for manufacturing tanks took a lot of hard work and two full years to complete. And this was just a copy. If it had to rely entirely on independent research and development, it would probably take even longer.

An even more difficult problem is that it is extremely difficult to obtain raw materials.

As we all know, a tank is like a solid box made of steel, equipped with powerful artillery, machine guns, telescopes, and cabins specifically for combat. However, in the actual production process, it cannot be imagined and designed as one pleases, but must be scientifically reasonable.

In the past two years, Shadan racked his brains and put in a lot of effort, and even unknowingly grew to 17 years old. Now he has become an adult, and in northern Shaanxi, his reputation is even more well-known.

With the successful imitation of the tank, Shadan also specially wrote a tutorial called "Basic Tank Practice Manual". After the publication of this book, it not only opened up a new writing field for Shadan, but also made him accidentally discover a new skill - copying books.

He wrote and published several books that were promoted among the entire nation after the founding of the People's Republic of China, including "Barefoot Doctor Manual", "Militia Military Training Manual" and "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents".

As soon as these three books came out, they were simply divine books.

He immediately received recognition and praise from the leaders, and a celebration meeting was held at the arsenal.

A reward for granting the title of Gay Times to Silly Egg.

This time, Comrade Shadan was awarded the title of the times in both the army and the logistics unit. This is simply awesome.

Originally, the leader wanted to arrange him to be an instructor in a military academy, but he knew his own limitations very well and decided not to go and cause trouble.

However, the publication of these three books still secured him a position among the teachers at the Advanced Military Officers School in northern Shaanxi.

But there is no salary, and I have to give lectures whenever I want, which is tiring.

With the imitation of tanks, a new type of soldier emerged in the People's Liberation Army: tank soldiers.

But for these rough guys who have never been exposed to what a tank is, training becomes a problem.

In addition, the production volume of tanks was low, so we simply handed it over to Comrade Shadan.

Anyway, he understood it and wrote a training manual, which even several leaders said was good after reading it.

As for the issue of manpower, a war almost broke out.

Everyone knows that tanks are powerful, and they all want to get their own people to learn and use them, and then return to their original units to develop tank teaching affairs. In this way, they can train a group of people. Many people have this idea, so they try their best to cram people in.

When it comes to this kind of thing, Shadan also thinks about his original independent brigade.

In the past few years, we have never been defeated by the Kuomintang army, and even wiped out several Kuomintang troops.

The replacement brigade commander also rose in rank.

Shadan still has a close relationship with the Independent Brigade, so half of the people killed by the Independent Brigade are counted on him.

The number of heads of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System has not decreased over the years, but has increased instead.

This is also the reason why Shadan dared to imitate the tank. If it were an ordinary person, it would require an entire team to complete it.

Now, there is another idiot in charge of tank training. Why be polite? Just report to the higher authorities and transfer a battalion of the independent brigade for training.

As for his bodyguard Mingyue, he was sent out by Shadan to deliver information to his family.

Now Mingyue also knows where Shadan lives, and she goes there several times whenever she has time, just to chat and talk with Comrade Zhang Guilan.

In the past, it was Uncle Zhang from the underground party who was in charge, but now it has directly become Mingyue's job.

For her, she is a natural messenger of information.

In recent years, we have celebrated the Spring Festival in a courtyard for two years.

The whole family likes Comrade Mingyue very much.

Just now, the sounds of Zhang Guilan and Mingyue talking and laughing could be heard again in the courtyard of the quadrangle.

In the shadow of the courtyard, the grape trellises are covered with green leaves, and the sunlight shines through the gaps onto the bluestone slabs, creating a mottled effect.

These vine plant racks and other things were all brought here by Mingming.

I've been coming here every few years, and I can't come empty-handed, so I have to bring something. As a result, we have built up this scale.

Zhang Guilan sat on a rattan chair, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, swaying gently. Next to her was her new best friend Mingyue. Beside them was a plate of melon seeds, a teapot each, and freshly brewed jasmine tea, which gave off a faint fragrance.

Their topic naturally turned to children, especially Zhang Guilan's son Shadan.

"Do you remember that time when Shadan was a kid?" Zhang Guilan laughed, her eyes sparkling with memories. "He insisted on helping He Daqing with his work, and ended up pushing a wooden cart into the Li family's vegetable garden, crushing all their cucumbers. Aunt Li chased him for three blocks, and he ran and cried, shouting 'I didn't mean it.'"

Mingyue couldn't help laughing after hearing this. She never expected that such a heroic figure could be so embarrassing when he was a child.

When I get back to the arsenal, I must tell him about it. It would be best if I could bring some people around to watch the fun. Then we can see if he is still crazy enough.

It's his fault that he always orders Mingyue around, and she is always dissatisfied with him.

Plus, she is getting older, she is 20 years old this year, and several leaders and chiefs are very concerned about her lifelong affairs, and she is annoyed by their urging to get married.

Zhang Guilan continued to laugh, "He was really a naughty boy back then, always looking for trouble. But it was also because of this that he became so successful when he grew up!"

Mingyue nodded in agreement.

Zhang Guilan smiled and her eyes suddenly softened. She sighed softly, "Oh, now that I think about it, it was so good back then. In the blink of an eye, Shadan has grown up so much, it's time to find him a wife. What do you think, isn't it time to consider his lifelong affairs?"

Mingyue was stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhang Guilan and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Zhang Guilan really loved her son, but she didn't know how to answer this question. She thought for a moment and said softly, "Sister Guilan, I think Shadan is a good kid, kind-hearted and responsible. However, for this kind of thing, it depends on his own opinion. As parents, you can only give suggestions, right? Besides, he is only seventeen years old. Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Zhang Guilan nodded, then shook her head. "That being said, as a mother, how can I not be anxious? I think the daughter of the Wang family next door is pretty good. She is gentle and virtuous. They grew up together and know each other well."

Mingyue smiled slightly. She knew what Zhang Guilan was thinking, but she also knew that Shadan was independent and had his own ideas. "Sister Guilan, Shadan has grown up. Let him make his own decisions. All we can do is support him no matter what choice he makes."

Zhang Guilan was silent for a while, then smiled again, "You're right, I was too impatient. Silly has grown up and needs to have his own life. I just hope he can be happy and find a good woman like you."

Mingyue felt a warm current in her heart after hearing this. She held Zhang Guilan's hand and said, "Sister Guilan, no matter what, we all hope that Shadan will be well. He will find his own happiness."

The two women smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the yard was warm and peaceful.

They continued chatting about Shadan's childhood fun and the possibilities for the future, but no matter what, the motherly care and tacit understanding between friends flowed quietly in the courtyard on this summer afternoon, as warm as ever.

After Mingyue returned to the arsenal, she started to look at Shadan in a displeased manner.

She just threw the things Zhang Guilan gave to Shadan onto the table and said, "Your mother gave you a package. In it are two pairs of cloth shoes that fit your feet, and a piece of clothing she sewed by herself. Aren't you happy to have such a mother who cares about you?"

"what!"

Shadan saw that Mingyue was obviously very angry today, so he quickly moved away from the powder keg.

I just don’t know what happened to her today?

I used to be happy when I came back from my parents’ house, but what happened today?

Shadan shook his head, expressing his confusion!

Mingyue saw that Shadan didn't respond, so she couldn't say anything else.

Because that would seem too unreasonable and would not fit in with the ladylike image that she is about to establish.

"Comrade Shadan, let me tell you something important."

Mingyue looked at Shadan who was listening to her carelessly and got angry for no reason. "Did you listen to me carefully? Those are the words your mother is going to bring to you. Is this how you treat an old woman?"

Silly Dan looked at the angry Mingyue and was really confused for a moment, thinking: What's wrong with her? Why is she so magnanimous? Is it because of those days every month when women have arrived?

But he didn't dare to ask. After all, after getting to know each other for the past two years, he found that Mingyue had a very good relationship with several leaders, which made him unable to understand what their relationship was.

Could it be that there is a high-ranking official in Mingyue’s family?

But they are all dead. It is truly unique in the world that a dead person still has such a large network of relationships.

Just when he was vaguely guessing what the relationship between Mingyue and the leaders was, Mingyue spoke again.

"Your mother is planning to introduce Erya from the Wang family next door to the courtyard to you as your wife? Are you willing?" This sentence exploded in Shadan's ears like a roar from hell, making him raise his head suddenly.

startled him.
