Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 55
When I came out of the meeting room with Aunt Liu, I saw Deputy Director Li standing in the courtyard, looking at me with a smile.

"Aunt Liu, please wait," Li Guocheng walked towards Deputy Director Li.

"Xiao Li, are you okay? I'll give you a day off today. Come find me at work tomorrow. I have something to communicate with you."

"Okay, thank you for your concern." No matter what Deputy Factory Director Li was doing, his actions today were very touching.

"Go and get busy." Deputy Director Li smiled and patted Li Guocheng on the shoulder.

"Let's go, the car is parked there. You have a day off today. It's almost noon. Go home to eat first, and then take you back to the compound in a car. Now everyone in the compound thinks you have been shot." After saying this, Aunt Liu I couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

After getting into a semi-old GAZ car, Li Guocheng fell into deep thought on the way.

Li Guocheng understands that Zhao Ting has been paying attention to him, at least he has been paying attention to this matter, otherwise, even the deputy director of the courtyard seems not to know about it, but Aunt Liu knows it in such detail, and thought of a way to erase the influence for herself , there was a burst of warmth in my heart.

I have been wandering alone for almost a year. The more I understand this society, the more I find that everyone has unconditional trust in this country. Although life is poor, everyone is very optimistic and satisfied, and I am deeply infected, so I want to do something for this society. What.

If you leave here and go abroad to develop, you will definitely make a lot of money, but how many people in the team that you have trained in 10 years will follow you back? And if you study cutting-edge technology abroad, will you be able to come back then? Foreign intelligence collection capabilities will be very difficult. It was proven by later generations.

What can I do if I stay?Just like this secret mission, according to Aunt Liu, our efforts in just over half a month can improve our local advantages.What will be the consequences if similar things slowly accumulate?At that time, will there be a chain reaction that will cause the national confidence to be maintained until it is reopened?Will most of the elite remain?
The more Li Guocheng thought about it, the more determined he became to stay and do his best to maintain confidence for the country in a certain field.

I'm sorry, Sister Yu, I hope I can compensate you in ten years.

Li Guocheng changed from a reclining position to a sitting position, looked at the car window and found that the car was stopped.

"Aunt Liu is home."

"Well, it's been a while since I saw you meditating so I didn't bother you."

"Sorry, I suddenly felt a little hysterical."

"It is understandable that after being tired for more than half a month and being censored again, it is indeed easy to be in the current state."

"Come in, you can chat with Xiaoting for a while, the meal will be ready soon."

"Thank you Aunt Liu."

In the main room, on one side of the table was Li Guocheng and on the other side was Zhao Ting. Apart from a few greetings, the two of them had remained silent for more than ten minutes. Zhao Ting said, "Whatever you want," and then lowered her head and continued reading. Li Guocheng opened his mouth. , didn’t know what to say, so he picked up the book next to him and started reading. I didn’t know what the content was, and the pages didn’t turn.

Finally, Li Guocheng seemed to have made up his mind, looked up at Zhao Ting and asked:
"No mission recently?".

"There are trips, but they are all in the city." Zhao Ting also put the book on her lap and looked at Li Guocheng.

"Are they all dangerous?"

"There are very few times of danger."

"But they're all deadly."

Zhao Ting did not answer and lowered her head. Fortunately, she did not pick up the book again.

"Don't you want to change jobs?" Li Guocheng continued.

"Someone has to do this job. I'm used to it and I can't let it go."

"Don't think about finding someone?"

Zhao Ting looked up at Li Guocheng with a calm expression, then lowered her head again, her face was a little red and angry.

Seeing that Zhao Ting didn't answer, Li Guocheng continued to be shameless.

"I want to be your partner?".

Zhao Ting suddenly raised her head and ignored the book falling to the ground.

"I can't be a good wife. I'm often on missions. I have today but no tomorrow, and I won't get the blessings of my family."

"You are my woman, and I am willing to accompany you, no matter what the outcome is." After thinking about it, Li Guocheng did not waver.

After being silent for a while, Li Guocheng said nothing more and looked at Zhao Ting firmly.

"Let me think again".

As he gradually got to know her, Li Guocheng could also think of the reason why such a determined girl only had a crush on him. The only reason was that she was very traditional.I learned from Aunt Liu that Zhao Ting had not refused the blind date before, but it was only after that incident that she resolutely refused.Before, Zhao Ting didn't have to stick to it, but she probably didn't want to "harm" others.After being rescued by him for the second time, she became more relaxed about him, otherwise she wouldn't have let him touch her when her face was injured last time.

"Hey, I can't let her bear the blame. If I don't figure this out, I will really ruin a good girl. I will definitely climb to a certain height in the future, and I will definitely be able to protect her from wind and rain," Li Guocheng thought to himself.

"No rush, you need time, I understand."

"It's time to eat." Aunt Liu appeared at the right time. You name it, coincidence or not, Aunt Liu couldn't listen to Qiang Gen, but she secretly encouraged Li Guocheng and gave him a thumbs up.

Everyone had a very harmonious, comfortable and warm meal.After the meal, we chatted for a while, said goodbye, and then Aunt Liu drove her off in person.When she went out to say goodbye, Zhao Ting did not repeat what she had said before, but smiled very hard.Anyway, this is how Li Guocheng felt.

Along the way, Aunt Liu chatted about Zhao Ting's past. In the process, she learned about Zhao Ting's family situation. She also learned that Zhao Ting's second aunt has always wanted to introduce her nephew to her. He belongs to the same family and the same compound. And they grew up together. What Aunt Liu looked down upon the most was that he was out of tune, didn't work well, was away from home every day, and often got into fights.

Li Guocheng was under great pressure, and at the same time he was even more determined.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, Aunt Liu deliberately honked the horn several times and waited until someone came out of the courtyard before allowing Li Guocheng to get out of the car.

"Comrade Li Guocheng, thank you for your outstanding performance in this mission. Relevant rewards will be notified to the rolling mill in the future, and I hope you will continue your efforts and make new achievements." Aunt Liu got off the car very formally and said holding hands.

"Thank you for the leadership's affirmation. I will definitely continue to study and work hard," Li Guocheng also said in cooperation.

Aunt Liu got in the car, honked the horn a few more times, and drove away.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Li? You are so promising that the leader personally sent you back," the third aunt shouted exaggeratedly after the car drove away. Behind her were the aunt and the daughter-in-law who heard the horn.

"Hey, the leader is so flattering, but you haven't actually done anything?" Li Guocheng pretended to be addicted, but his heart was filled with gratitude to Zhao Ting and Aunt Liu.
