Chapter 2654 is like entering the Grand View Garden.
Yang Xiaotao learned of this news from his uncle's house.
The main reason is that he's not used to listening to the radio.
In fact, the news had been broadcast on the radio that morning, but Yang Xiaotao was busy taking the children out and subconsciously ignored it.
Finally, Yang Xiaotao brought his family, including Wangcai and Wangwang's whole family.
When we arrived at my uncle's house, besides my uncle and his wife, there was also an old lady inside, who was my uncle's mother.
In addition, Yang Xiaotao also met his uncle's child.
At this moment, when everyone mentioned their ages, Yang Xiaotao realized that he was actually the oldest among them.
Yang Xiaotao was born in 1940, while the eldest daughter in her uncle's family was born in 1941, and none of them were married.
As a result, the Yang family's children became the most 'favorite' people in the courtyard.
At the same time, Yang Xiaotao also became known as "Brother Yang" by everyone.
At lunchtime, Yang Xiaotao sat with his uncle, and the two of them spontaneously started talking about the 'moon landing'.
The others at the table also pricked up their ears to listen, after all, they knew about Yang Xiaotao.
In their hearts, their father is the one they admire most.
But what interests me most is Yang Xiaotao.
The boys, in particular, idolized what Yang Xiaotao did.
Especially considering that their opponents were only slightly older than them, yet their achievements were unparalleled.
"Uncle, I don't think they'll give up."
Yang Xiaotao spoke with certainty, and his uncle, intrigued, said, "Tell me more about it."
Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "Politically speaking, this is a contest of voices; whoever does it better will have the loudest voice."
"Economically speaking, the United States will not give up either, because it is the best way to cripple the other side's economy."
The uncle nodded silently, then asked, "What do you think of our research?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "It's hard to say. At the very least, we should be cautious before we have the ability."
The uncle didn't say anything more, because Yang Xiaotao's words made sense.
If you don't have the ability, don't get involved in this field.
"However, the initial satellite plans can be realized. As you know, we have been conducting satellite research, which is very important in communications."
"Now that we're ahead, we can accelerate construction as long as we adjust our focus slightly."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, before his uncle could even speak, his eldest son, who had been staring wide-eyed, suddenly asked, "Brother Yang, is the kind of satellite phone you're making... is it the one that uses this?"
The uncle laughed and said, "This chubby boy studies physics and is very interested in these things."
Upon hearing this, an idea flashed through Yang Xiaotao's eyes: since things have already changed, let's make the change as thorough as possible.
He immediately replied seriously, "Satellite phones do indeed use satellites as relay stations to transmit signals."
As soon as Yang Xiaotao explained the situation, Xiaopang immediately became interested and started talking to Yang Xiaotao about communications at the dinner table.
What surprised Yang Xiaotao even more was that the other party actually proposed the idea of building a base station.
This piqued Yang Xiaotao's interest even more.
Ran Qiuye and Sister Zhuo, who were standing nearby, smiled helplessly and then started chatting about everyday things.
They also inquired about Ran Qiuye's work, and Ran Qiuye explained that she was building schools in rural areas, which would allow more children from farming families to attend school, immediately attracting the girls' attention.
Even my uncle praised it, saying it was a very meaningful thing.
After the two finished, Little Fatty became even more interested in what Yang Xiaotao was saying.
The old man next to him rarely saw this scene.
"Uncle, Little Fatty has graduated, it's time for him to find a stable job!"
"Why don't you come work for us? We can't let his skills go to waste."
Yang Xiaotao glanced at the chubby boy and said to his uncle.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, everyone immediately turned their attention to his uncle.
The uncle looked at his son and saw longing in his eyes, then looked at his wife.
The latter smiled and nodded, then said to Yang Xiaotao, "This won't cause you any trouble, will it?"
The uncle also recalled the current situation, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
The other family members at the table also pursed their lips, becoming somewhat sensitive.
"What's the trouble!"
Yang Xiaotao said nonchalantly, then said seriously, "Uncle, as you know, our Ninth Department is in dire need of talent in physics."
"Especially work related to satellite phones, calculators, computers, and satellites—each of these requires skilled personnel."
At this point, Yang Xiaotao looked at Xiaopang again, "A while ago, we were lucky enough to discover a talented person, and it was this talented person who solved a small problem."
"But this small problem has troubled us for a long time, and we haven't made any progress."
"I'm not saying this person is so great, but that we need some 'genius' ideas to step up when we can't break through a deadlock."
"I think you have that potential."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao give such high praise, Xiaopang smiled shyly.
At the same time, I felt very grateful.
Because of his status, he had always worked in rural areas, and he was able to return to Beijing only through connections.
If I could work in the Ninth Department, then…
That way, I can stay in Beijing and still take care of my parents.
However, there are some difficulties involved.
He's not young anymore, so he naturally understands some things.
So, though he wore a happy expression, he was actually a little disappointed inside.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao say this, his uncle no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Little Fatty, you're not a child anymore. You can decide your own affairs. We all support you."
Little Fatty nodded immediately, looking quite puzzled.
Can I really make this decision myself?
But the next second, seeing his father's serious and affirmative expression, and Yang Xiaotao's nonchalant demeanor, Xiaopang thought, "Let's give it a try!"
Then he said confidently, "Mom and Dad, I want to go to the Ninth Division."
"That will be where I build my revolution."
"Well done, we've gained a great general here today."
Yang Xiaotao spoke up happily, and his little daughter immediately picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Yang Xiaotao and Xiaopang, while winking at her brother.
Upon seeing this, Little Fatty immediately raised his glass and said, "Brother Yang, let me toast you to thank you."
Yang Xiaotao didn't stand on ceremony and clinked glasses with Yang Xiaotao, saying, "Don't be shy, just tell me if you need anything in the future."
"Alright." After the two finished their drinks, the younger daughter poured Yang Xiaotao another glass, and then poured herself a small half-glass as well. "Brother Yang, Sister Qiuye, I'd like to toast you both too!"
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao smiled, raised his wine glass, and said, "Okay!"
The three clinked glasses and drank. Ran Qiuye glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then looked down at Sister Zhuo and said, "Sister, the village needs a lot of teachers right now..."
My uncle laughed…
After lunch, Yang Xiaotao accompanied his uncle for a walk in the yard.
The two then talked about the Nine Departments again, and the uncle advised them to calm down and not to be impatient for quick results.
Yang Xiaotao remembered them all.
Then he asked about Yangjiazhuang and said he would like to visit it if he had the chance.
Yang Xiaotao was of course happy to oblige, saying that he would be available anytime, as long as Yang Xiaotao had the time.
After the two of them took a walk around, they returned to the yard and saw Miao Miao and a group of other children playing together.
The youngest, Dudu, was held in Sister Zhuo's arms, while the twin daughters were held in the old lady's arms on either side.
Duanwu followed behind Xiaopang, playing around with him. Every now and then, you could hear Duanwu saying something like, "Can you cook?"
Yang Xiaotao left with his family in the late afternoon.
Before leaving, Yang Xiaotao secretly slipped two packs of cigarettes to his uncle before getting into his car and driving away.
The uncle waved goodbye to his family until the car drove away before returning home.
The family sat down in the house again. The eldest uncle looked at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on the little fat boy.
"Little Fatty, when you get to the Ninth Division, you must study hard and observe as much as possible."
"Yes, Dad!"
The next day, Xiao Pang received a notification from the Ninth Department's Human Resources Department, asking him to prepare the relevant materials for onboarding.
This completely relieved the family's anxiety. Little Fatty even jumped around a couple of times in the house before locking himself in his room.
The family members stood outside the window, listening to the crying coming from inside, but they all laughed.
Two days later, nine parts.
"Little Fatty, this is Teacher Shu Xingbei. From now on, you will be working with him!"
"Director Wang, you can just call him Little Fatty. He's very talented in radio communications!"
Yang Xiaotao was introducing the man in the office, and Shu Xingbei felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was a well-known figure.
But Little Fatty readily agreed, saying, "Teacher Shu, don't be shy, just call me Little Fatty. That's what my elders and friends call me."
Shu Xingbei smiled and said, "Alright, Comrade Little Fatty, welcome to our Satellite Communications Research Institute!"
Little Fatty looked especially smart today, and he was quite excited to hear that familiar voice.
Reach out and grasp it.
The two then smiled at Yang Xiaotao.
"Alright, I've found you some talent. Don't complain to me about not having enough work to do anymore!"
Shu Xingbei smiled and said, "Isn't it true that the more talented people the better?"
"I'd love to have as many as possible!"
Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, and the two of them left the office with smiles.
"Little Fatty, let me show you around the research institute first..."
"Okay, Teacher Shu!"
Shu Xingbei then led the chubby boy out of the office, and the two of them started wandering around the Ninth Department.
When he got home that evening, Xiao Pang told his family about what he had seen and heard in the Ninth Division.
"The department I work in now specializes in satellite phone research..."
"We also need to build a dedicated communications satellite. The basic design is complete, and a site has been selected at the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry for a new base..."
"There are also many collaborating departments, such as the late-life battery research institute, the computer research institute, the semiconductor research institute, the ultra-pure silicon research institute..."
Watching their son talk so fluently, the whole family felt gratified and proud.
"So, how are the people there?"
The younger sister asked.
Little Fatty nodded immediately, "Very good. The people at the research institute where I work are very kind. My mentor is Professor Shu Xingbei, a very knowledgeable and upright old man whom everyone respects..."
"By the way, I also met many outstanding colleagues. They discussed work while eating. They were all very capable, and they explained things very clearly to me that I didn't understand before..."
Xiao Pang recalled that during meals, a group of people from the research institute talked about theory and research all the time, an atmosphere that even schools don't have!
He loves it so much!
"Big brother, is the Ninth Division really that powerful?"
The second sister asked, and the little fat boy immediately nodded.
"superb!"
Then he said seriously, "When I visited the workshop, there were so many projects, but I didn't hear a word about any of them."
"It feels like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden; everything is new and exciting!"
"By the way, there are many other things that involve classified information, and some places even have security personnel on guard!"
"Oh right, it's Yang's office. Ordinary people can't get in!"
The second sister was somewhat suspicious, but the eldest uncle nodded, "Your eldest brother is right!"
"The Ninth Department does indeed have many secrets, and some seemingly insignificant research could potentially lead to significant changes in the future!"
Hearing their father say this, everyone became even more curious.
"Little Fatty, work hard from now on!"
"I'll say it again: work more, talk less!"
The uncle gave him another instruction, and the little fat boy immediately nodded.
Then he pulled over a cloth bag from the side, "Mom and Dad, this is a perk from Department Nine, you get it when you join..."
"Wow, new work clothes, they look great..."
"These are towels, bed sheets..."
"Look, this is a specially made plum blossom scented soap..."
The room was filled with laughter for a moment.
The uncle saw this, his face showing joy, but his heart filled with bitterness.
I haven't seen this kind of atmosphere in a long time!
Perhaps it's time to think about the children!
