Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"No, Xiaotian, how can you talk like that? Why am I, Brother Song, so old-fashioned?"

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Song Lian suddenly jumped up and down. You know, in this day and age, this kind of joke can't be made. If people knew about it, I'm afraid that not only Song Lian, but even his old company commander would not be able to bear this title.

Seeing that Song Lian stopped smiling and looked angry, Zhou Tian immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Song, I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously? Sit down! Sit down!"

Zhou Tian stepped forward and pressed Song Lian down, took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, took out a cigarette and lit it for Song Lian, then said, "Brother Song, this is just a private chat for us. I just said something out of turn, don't be angry, ah!"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he apologized with a smile.

After taking a deep puff of cigarette, Song Lian finally came to his senses. He looked at Zhou Tian unhappily and said, "You must be careful when you speak. You should know that this kind of thing cannot be joked about. Otherwise, you will be punished!"

"Yes, yes! Brother Song, you are right, it is my fault!"

Zhou Tian had no choice but to apologize repeatedly. After all, he didn't know Song Lian would be so sensitive to such a name. But when he thought about it, this era was indeed a bit dangerous.

At the same time, he also felt alert. Fortunately, he was facing Song Lian. After this period of getting along, the two of them had a very good relationship. He regarded Zhou Tian as a younger brother and always took care of him, while Zhou Tian also regarded him as an older brother. Although there was no blood relationship between the two, they felt that they were very compatible with each other for some reason.

If it were someone else, Zhou Tian might really be in trouble.

"Okay, don't try to please me, I don't know you yet. By the way, don't mention this kind of thing in the future, otherwise you will suffer a great loss. But I want to ask you if you still remember what you promised your brother Song?"

Song Lian smoked a cigarette and blew out smoke rings. After he calmed down, he first warned Zhou Tian and then asked.

"What is the matter you promised Brother Song?"

Zhou Tian was stunned by Song Lian's question, but his memory was still good, so he quickly recalled it and said with a smile: "How could I forget? Didn't I just promise to help Brother Song? You tell me! As long as I can do it, I will definitely help!"

Zhou Tian said this and immediately patted his chest to make a promise.

"Okay, that's what you said. I was originally planning to bring it up in a few days, but looking at this trend, if I wait a few more days, things might get a little difficult!"

After hearing Zhou Tian's assurance, Song Lian immediately threw away the cigarette in his hand, stepped on it twice, and said, "Boy, do you still remember the middle-aged man in military uniform that you met in Director Lou's office?"

Zhou Tian was immediately reminded of what Song Lian said. After a long while, he asked with a hint of disbelief, "Brother Song, you're not asking me to go to the military factory, are you?"

Unexpectedly, Song Lian nodded and said, "Xiaotian, that man was my former company commander and also my savior on the battlefield. It can be said that if it weren't for the old company commander, there would be no Song Lian today!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Tian seriously.

"I know you don't want to go to the military factory, but Xiaotian, I hope that even if you don't go to work in the military factory, you can go and help out from time to time!"

Faced with Song Lian's request, Zhou Tian suddenly hesitated. Originally, according to his idea, it was impossible for him to go to the military factory. After all, he didn't think he could adapt to the strict system of the military factory.

And most importantly, he knew that in the coming period, there would be no major battles to fight in the country, except on the peninsula, where in 1969, Big Brother broke with our country and deployed millions of troops in the north to confront each other.

Except for the next war involving Monkey, there will basically not be any major military actions. So if he enters a military factory, the number of projects he studies will be much less, and the nature of a military factory is destined not to involve civilian use. So it is basically impossible for him to earn research funds to accelerate the development of domestic industry.

For someone like him, working in a military factory would be a kind of constraint. However, after hearing what Brother Song said next, he couldn't help but feel relieved. As long as it didn't mean working in a military factory, he could still consider it.

After all, he had promised Brother Song, so he couldn't go back on his word.

After thinking for a while, he looked up at Song Lian and said, "Brother Song, as long as you don't go to work in the arsenal, I can agree!"

"Really?"

When Song Lian heard Zhou Tian agree, he asked in disbelief.

"Ok!"

Zhou Tian nodded affirmatively.

"That's great. Now I can finally give an explanation to the old company commander! The old company commander will not let me return the car."

Song Lian was so proud of himself that he accidentally said what was in his heart. After he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and covered his mouth, only to see Zhou Tian looking at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Brother Song, you are such a person. You actually sold me out for a car?"

Zhou Tian looked at Song Lian with a somewhat amused look and asked.

"Xiaotian, what do you know? It's easy for you to say it, but you still want a car. Do you know how long I begged the old company commander for this car?"

When he heard Zhou Tian belittle his beloved car, he immediately became anxious and quickly retorted.

"Okay, okay, I won't care about your car anymore, Brother Song, it's getting late, I should go back too!"

Seeing Song Lian's anxious face, Zhou Tian interrupted helplessly. However, he could understand this. Not to mention that there are not many vehicles in the whole country now, each car is an extremely valuable resource. In the past life, many people treated their cars as their wives.

It was getting late and it was clearly getting dark outside. If he didn't go back soon, he was afraid that his younger brothers and sisters would be anxious.

"Well, kid, don't forget what you promised your brother Song. If you don't go, I'm afraid your brother Song will be in big trouble!"

Just as Zhou Tian turned around, Song Lian couldn't help but continue to remind him.

"Don't worry, Brother Song. If you have any problems, you can come to me directly! Let's go!"

Zhou Tian said this, waved his hand, walked out of the gatehouse, rode his bicycle, said hello to the security guard Xiao Hu, and disappeared outside the steel mill.

When Zhou Tian returned to the courtyard, he did not see Yan Bugui for the first time. A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, but he ignored it and walked towards the central courtyard.

"Xiaotian, you're back? Have you completed the mission?"

As soon as he entered the central courtyard, Zhou Tian saw Yi Zhonghai walking out of the east wing and asked with concern.

"It's Master Yi. The mission has not been completed yet, but one third of it has been completed. There's not much left!"

While responding, Zhou Tian looked at the He family. He didn't know what would happen if Uncle He knew Wu Huiru's true identity.

Thinking of Wu Huiru, his mind couldn't help but recall her beautiful eyes full of tenderness, and he shuddered suddenly.

"Well, Xiaotian, Uncle Yi wants to ask you something. Does your abandoned workshop still need people?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't notice Zhou Tian's eyes, but asked a little embarrassedly.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai didn't know about Zhou Tian's development of the horizontal lathe at first. He only learned from the workshop director that Zhou Tian seemed to be doing a secret work.

But later he discovered that Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie went to the abandoned workshop at least several times a day, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

His intuition told him that there must be something wrong, but since it involved factory secrets, the workshop director didn't know either.

But he vaguely felt that if he could get involved there would be great benefits. Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and began to want to contact Zhou Tian to ask what was going on. However, he did not expect that he did not wait for Zhou Tian for three consecutive days.

He wanted to go to the abandoned workshop but was stopped by the security department. Especially this morning, the arrival of Minister Tang and the top leaders made him realize that the matter was not simple.
