Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

The family was very happy about Yi Ping'an's return, especially the children, who were even happier because they were too young before and only knew that their father was an engineer and was often not at home.

Uncle Kaixuan once told them that they must not tell others about their father at school. They must remember this.

At first the children didn’t understand, but their mother told them that their father was a man of great deeds and if bad people knew about their father’s affairs, they would cause trouble. They were also not allowed to go home alone after school and must go home with their friends.

Several children remembered this sentence clearly and never mentioned their father at school. If someone asked them about it, they would just say that their father was working.

After Tietou came back, he had a special talk with Yi Ping'an, and the father and son talked in the study for a long time.

"Dad, do you know about the newly formed National University of Science and Technology?"

"Yes, I also know that its predecessor was Harbin Institute of Technology, which was also a school I really wanted to apply to back then. Unfortunately, it had just been established and was not enrolling students when I took the college entrance examination, so I chose my current school."

"Dad, I want to take the college entrance examination and get into the University of Science and Technology of China to study aerospace technology." Tietou said and looked at Yi Ping'an. In this age where sons have to follow in their father's footsteps, he wants to stick to his dream even more.

"Are you sure?" Yi Ping'an asked.

"Yes, I believe I can pass the exam." Tietou said firmly, with a spirit of dying if he fails.

"If you are sure, then take the exam. Actually, if you want to study this, you can go to Beihang University or Harbin Institute of Technology. However, if you are sure you want to study, then you have to lay a solid foundation in some knowledge in advance."

Yi Ping'an has always been supportive of his children's dreams. Who doesn't have the dream of "reaching for the moon in the sky and catching turtles in the five oceans"? He himself has one too.

"Dad, don't you blame me for not choosing mechanical engineering?" Tietou was puzzled. His dad was really different from other people's dads.

"Haha, why should I blame you? According to your way of thinking, do I have to learn locksmithing?" Yi Ping'an was amused by this brat.

"But grandpa said that your locksmith skills are no worse than his." Tietou's meaning is very clear, you really have inherited your father's business.

"Hahaha, kid, the engineer exam not only tests theory, but also practical skills, and processing technology is one of them.

Besides, I am very happy that you have your own dream. I support your dream and I hope that one day you can reach the moon." Yi Pingan touched his head. He didn't expect that his son had such a great dream.

"Well, don't worry, Dad. I will definitely work hard to make it happen." The 16-year-old Tietou's young face was full of determination.

"Work hard, kid. When your dad was your age, he had already graduated from college." Yi Ping'an looked at his son with a smile.

Aerospace technology is not so easy to learn. Yi Ping'an has been secretly thinking about how to get some special treatment for his son.

"Dad, you are so discouraging. Who dares to compare with you?" Tietou wailed. Every time his teachers and classmates praised him, he thought: Compared with my dad, I am a waste.

"Then work hard. Dad believes you can surpass me. Do you have the confidence?" Yi Ping'an looked into Tietou's eyes and asked him.

"Yes." Tietou's biggest dream at this time, besides going to heaven, is to surpass his father.

…………

Yi Ping'an only stayed at home for a week before he received a new task: to write textbooks for mechanical engineering, especially CNC machine tool technology, which would be used as textbooks for graduate students and he would teach the course himself.

At the same time, he had work arrangements, which included returning to his alma mater to supervise graduate students, cultivate talents, and be awarded the title of professor, while his work relationship remained in the institute.

The former Sijiucheng Industrial College was officially renamed Beijing Institute of Technology in 75 and moved to Zhongguancun, where it is located in later generations. The “Seven Sons of National Defense” were born ahead of schedule.

The former dean has retired, and Wang Guodong was re-hired and is still working hard.

Yi Ping'an looked at this alma mater that was both strange and familiar to him, and he was filled with emotion. It was strange because he could no longer find any trace of the Industrial College, and it was familiar because it was connected with his previous life.

Yi Ping'an spent eight months compiling the current textbooks by combining the teaching materials he learned in his previous life with the current development process.

In his previous life, Yi Ping'an was unable to teach students. He didn't know how to teach and was afraid of misleading them.

In this life, Yi Ping'an has taught many people invisibly. Perhaps the change in environment has led to a change in mentality. Looking at those faces eager to learn, Yi Ping'an seems to see the hope of rising.

........................

Yi Ping'an stayed in the university for 20 years and was re-hired after retirement. Although he would disappear for a few months from time to time, his students were used to it. Even if the teacher went to heaven, he would come back one day.

Meng Xiaoting has been living in Nanluoguxiang, taking care of the elderly at home.

In 87, an old lady died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 70.

Yi Zhonghai buried her in the cemetery in her hometown, together with her first husband. It was said that this was something they had agreed on.

After the aunt passed away, Yi Pingan bought the entire No. 95 courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, and the young people used the money from the sale of their houses to move into the building.

As for the elderly, apart from those who were reluctant to leave, there were those who were unwanted like Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui. In the end, they were unable to change their fate and ended up living like the people in the plot.

In the second year after Yi Ping'an passed away, Xu Damao had a son. The family of three opened a video hall. The business was good and he called himself Boss Xu.

Yi Ping'an renovated the entire courtyard, and turned the outer courtyard and the front yard into a private restaurant, which he handed over to Sha Zhu and his wife to run. They split the profits 50-50, with the only requirement being that they take care of the elderly who stayed in the courtyard.

Sha Zhu bought a house in the west wing, and Hu Tou has become a master, having learned his grandfather's Shandong cuisine, his father's Sichuan cuisine, and the signature Tan cuisine. He is now the second chef in a private restaurant. The head chef is, of course, his father Sha Zhu. He Daqing can no longer wield the big spoon, and can only give occasional pointers.

After the middle courtyard and back yard were renovated, the back yard and cross yard were reserved for family living.

The Central Courtyard was transformed into a nursing home, which is managed by Meng Xiaoting. The elderly people living in the courtyard are all the original residents, including Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and so on.

After Jia Zhang knew about it, she also came to contribute and moved in. In her heart, she finally won over Yang Cuiyun because she lived longer than Yang Cuiyun.

When these elderly people pass away, the nursing homes will become private residences.

Yi Zhonghai is living a happy life every day now. He is accompanied by old friends, playing chess, fishing, quarreling with them, and talking about their past shortcomings.

Tietou was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China with excellent grades in 82, majoring in aerospace technology. In order to realize his son's space dream, Yi Pingan used his own connections for the first time, found a lot of notes on the subject, and laid a foundation for him in advance.

Tuantuan followed in his father's footsteps and was admitted to Beijing Institute of Technology. It was also at this time that Tuantuan realized how capable his father was. At that moment, Tuantuan had the same dream as Tietou: to surpass his father.

Yuanyuan was admitted to the Foreign Languages ​​College. With his talent for languages, he had mastered 10 foreign languages ​​by the time he graduated with a doctorate. As famous as his talent for languages ​​was his sharp tongue, which could choke people to death with just one sentence. He also had the worst popularity in the family, and no one wanted to talk to him.

Huanhuan was the most surprising one. He was admitted to the University of Finance and Economics to study finance. In his own words, "Little money is my favorite." Meng Xiaoting even suspected that she was abusing him, because among the brothers, he was the only one who loved money so much.

Lele took his mother's surname and was the shortest among his brothers. He cried several times because of this. Everyone in his family was 185cm tall, but he was only 175cm tall. He suspected that his height was inherited from his mother. Meng Xiaoting was so angry that she rewarded him with stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Later, Lele was thankful for his height more than once. When he was in high school, Lele was specially recruited by the Air Aviation Corporation and became a pilot.

When he saw his father's name in the school's information room for the first time, he was stunned and suspected that he had read it wrong. He looked at it carefully again and found that he was not mistaken. It was "Yi Ping'an".

It is not a duplicate name, because there are photos of my father and senior leaders to prove that the heart of the "Flying Leopard" was made by my father. He even changed the original design because it was too advanced. At that time, my father was only 18 years old.

After reading these materials, Lele had an urge to sing loudly, but he forced himself to hold it back. After calming down, Lele thought: Will Dad think that we brothers are too embarrassing?

My father graduated from college at the age of 15, while they were still in middle school at the age of 18. My father developed the heart of the "Flying Leopard" at the age of 18 and could even take photos with senior leaders, but when I was , I had never even touched the "Flying Leopard".

Thinking of this, Lele felt that when it came to raising sons, his father was far inferior to his grandfather. His father raised five sons but they were not as good as his grandfather's one. His father was such a failure.

November 1999, 10

On the day of our mother's 50th birthday, 60-year-old Yi Ping'an was invited to attend the ceremony. On the city wall, Yi Ping'an met the gentleman who was already a hundred years old. He had a head full of white hair but was in high spirits. Even sitting in a wheelchair, his back was still straight. Yi Ping'an's throat was a little tight, as he hadn't seen the gentleman for several years.

The gentleman saw him and waved. Yi Ping'an walked over and squatted in front of him. The gentleman stroked the top of Yi Ping'an's head and said with a smile: "Comrade Ping'an, I didn't expect that you have white hair after not seeing you for many years. The young boy back then has also grown old."

"Sir, I am 60 years old, 10 years older than our motherland." Yi Ping'an replied with tears in his eyes but still smiled.

"Yes, you are 60 years old now. Time is merciless. The old friends you had back then are becoming fewer and fewer." The gentleman murmured with some emotion.

Even with the prescription given by Yi Ping'an, people can't resist the passage of time. But it is gratifying that the big leaders all passed away with a smile after witnessing the rise of China at the age of 100.

"Sir, please take care of yourself. We must welcome the new century together." Yi Ping'an could no longer control his tears. Now that he was old, he was not afraid of being embarrassed. After all, he had cried before in the past.

"You, when I first met you, you were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and you were crying loudly. I was thinking at that time, was I too serious? I scared the child and made him cry. Why are you still so crybaby now?" The gentleman raised his hand and wiped Yi Ping'an's tears.

"I was excited, sir. Do you remember what I said to you when we first met?" Yi Ping'an asked.

"Remember, you told me that our plane would never have to fly twice again. I always remembered that."

"Sir, I didn't break my promise."

"No, we stood up."

.....................

When the square formations passed in front of the city wall, their neat steps and shocking momentum were unmatched.

The armored vehicles behind are even more impressive. Dongfeng Express! Mission accomplished!

When the familiar sound of an engine sounded, everyone looked up at the sky.

Yi Ping'an saw that the gentleman's eyes were wet.

At this time, Lele was driving an airborne early warning aircraft in the first echelon, roaring over the square.

China is fearless! No one dares to provoke it! No one dares to bully it!

(Postscript: This book ends here, and it may be a bit hasty. The purpose of writing this book is to make up for some regrets in my heart, as well as my understanding of the characters in the Siheyuan. We have only heard about that era, and fewer and fewer people have experienced it. But it is really not easy for our country to get to where it is today. I hope the younger generation will not forget history and forge ahead bravely! Thank you for your support! There are two more chapters to be updated tomorrow.)
