Chapter 1170: The suggestion is twins

Does the Tantuo exist?

Of course it does; the concept car is placed there, rubbed by engineers' hands—you say if it exists.

Not only does it exist, it can also be started and driven!

And the performance is absolutely as that Beijing Auto Factory engineer said, surpassing the 212's technology.

Nonsense, a car manufactured by the Vehicle Engineering Research Institute regardless of cost, the technology is naturally more advanced than the 212.

Such an advanced jeep, recognized by the Beijing Auto Factory as the Red Star Factory's product to snipe their 212, will definitely be mass-produced soon, right?

Uh—wait a bit longer—

Don't ask, asking means mass production immediately!

Li Xuewu has the demeanor of *Jia* next week, beating rabbits while gathering grass, and even smuggling private goods while holding a supply chain conference.

You say he's rotten, he admits it; you say he's bad, he firmly refuses to admit it.

I'm just putting pressure on the Beijing Auto Factory, so what?

The 212 product must be said to be successful, successfully filling the domestic gap for jeeps.

Its only shortcoming is that it has no opponents; under the current state of the domestic automotive industry, it doesn't worry about sales.

The motivation for updating and technological iteration comes entirely from the requirements above, and has nothing to do with the market.

Therefore, when the market opened and they saw the advancement of imported cars, their hearts chilled.

In the 80s, what they thought most might be: twenty years ago, we also had the opportunity to chase.

Li Xuewu caught up with this regret; the true rise of domestic cars was the overtaking on a curve realized by electric vehicles.

Without electric vehicles, could BBA's sales lower their arrogant chins, could they show you black silk when you look at cars?

Dream on—

Car shows will use isolation belts; if you don't verify your capital, they won't let you see the car—that's how arrogant they are.

Li Xuewu is rotten, but he still has a little bit of sentiment.

If you ask him what his ultimate goal for car manufacturing is, he will tell you that he wants to make rough hands able to afford black silk balls.

The 212 product is too successful and too comprehensive; there isn't one on the market that can fight.

It's arrogant, it's floating; it feels like it's omnipotent.

Now what Li Xuewu is doing is pouring a basin of cold water on the Beijing Auto Factory, letting them cool down.

What is a brand, what is a refined market, what is independent R&D, what is being guided by people's needs.

The Red Star Factory threw out a hand of Hongxing Lingyang cars, abandoned the military market, focused on the civilian market, and refined it into three styles: city, engineering, and mountain, with modification kits and optional kits.

This slap made the Beijing Auto Factory break out in a cold sweat, finally knowing that you can't have both fish and bear's paw.

The 212 has a better comprehensive quality than the Hongxing Lingyang, but from the perspective of the civilian market, they have to be convinced themselves.

If they were leaders of enterprises or public institutions, they would also choose the Hongxing Lingyang car; who doesn't want to control costs, who doesn't want to save fuel, who doesn't want more functionality and comfort?

In the manufacturing process of core parts like chassis and engines, the Red Star Factory's starting point hangs and beats the Beijing Auto Factory.

Even if the power is not as good as the 212, the Hongxing Lingyang's overall output performance is still chasing closely.

Looking back at the Tantuo, a large jeep designed specifically for the military market, completely abandoning civilian redundancy.

Higher chassis, stronger protection, stronger power... in overall technology, it completely crushes the 212 jeep.

Why is Beijing Auto Factory's Vice President Wang angry, why is he sweating coldly? The 212 is completely one car fighting a group of cars.

In the initial design, according to the instructions of superiors, they had to take into account both civilian and military use; as a result, now they are pleasing, but can't please either side.

If according to the Red Star Factory's urine nature of car manufacturing, the cost price of this car is absolutely not high, at least not higher than the 212.

That is to say, if the Red Star Factory really builds this car and puts it on the market, the 212 will definitely be beaten to pieces.

The core problem is still price; there is no need to discuss performance, the more you look, the more your heart chills.

Therefore, Li Xuewu is an old lady eating persimmons, picking the soft ones.

He is most familiar with the 212 brand; the Red Star Factory already has a mature product, the Hongxing Lingyang, so of course he has to take the Beijing Auto Factory as a sacrifice.

Only by proving that products produced under the supply chain system, that is, the Hongxing Lingyang car, have caused sufficient pressure on the five major factories and Beijing Auto Factory, forcing them to advance technological and production transformation, can other manufacturers believe in the supply chain's deterrent power.

Li Xuewu had already thought of the headline for tomorrow's Industrial Newspaper: "The Wolf is Coming!"

Is the Red Star Factory a kind man or woman?

For the sake of the automotive industry, taking such a big detour, scaring the Beijing Auto Factory out of its wits, letting other monkeys watch the chicken being killed.

The purpose is to promote the supply chain, promote production lines, and master sales channels?

No, saying sentiment is hypocritical, saying benefits is too straightforward, so let's say something in the middle.

Industry has standards, just like train tracks, just like a nation's characters.

After the Western world realized the Second Industrial Revolution, they formulated this standard.

Of course, this wasn't decided by one or two people, but defaulted to in the process of building the industrial system.

For example, computers later, you have to use the 【Windows】 system; no one thought about why they had to use it, and didn't notice what they had to pay to use this thing.

Industry is the same; you bought my technology and machines, you produce products according to my industrial system, I give you all kinds of convenience, and you don't realize what's here.

And when you realize it, it's already too late, because my hand is already pinching your chest... neck.

You just say, do you want to die, or do you want to live? Don't say you want to die or live, it's too ambiguous.

This taste is definitely not good; a machine for carving chips, not very high technology, originally said it would be sold to you.

As a result, it's not sold, because you developed too well and can't be a dumping ground for me anymore.

Therefore, eating a lesson once is enough; in the barbaric era, you must have standard consciousness—cars on the same track, books with the same characters.

The supply chain looks like a service platform, but in reality, it is also a standard-setting platform; otherwise, why would Director Du of the First Ministry of Industry attach so much importance to it?

Li Xuewu is ruthless; even if the Beijing Auto Factory is unruly, he has to kick them onto this broad road.

Why choose the Beijing Auto Factory? There are several other reasons:

First, the distance is close, both in the capital, easy to coordinate;

Second, they have money, the biological son of the First Ministry of Industry, they have the strength to transform;

Finally, the jeep manufacturing process is easier to realize transformation, especially with such rough manufacturing calculations, and there are still large errors.

Using the Tantuo to knock out the last bit of luck of the Beijing Auto Factory, clearly telling them that if they don't transform, the Red Star Factory won't leave them a single bite of rice.

Then, what is Li Xuewu's plan for the Tantuo car?

Continue research, continue development, production suspended.

Old Li said, eat rice one mouthful at a time, girls one by one... anyway, don't be in a hurry.

Li Xuewu thinks Old Li's words make sense, especially the last sentence, don't be in a hurry.

The Red Star Factory is very poor, Old Li is very cautious; of the many projects launched, the only one that truly belongs to the Red Star Factory is the Hongxing Lingyang car.

This car has been researched from the start of modification to now preparing for mass production for nearly two years.

The completeness and stability of the product make Old Li feel at ease; if he really takes out a new product to beat the drum of market economy, Old Li's heart will beat.

Especially the positioning of the Tantuo; military procurement is now the big head, but this kind of procurement is planned.

This plan was set three or five years ago; you say now change to Tantuo, what will the Beijing Auto Factory do?

Therefore, the Tantuo is not an affordable housing, but an improvement housing.

When the economy allows, technology is mature, and it is truly needed, this is when the Tantuo should appear.

The military quality presented by this Tantuo concept car is just what Li Xuewu hopes the Beijing Auto Factory will see, and it is also used to scare them.

The real Tantuo is not in the appearance, but in the core.

That is to say, if I want it to be a military off-road, it is a military jeep; if I want it to be a civilian off-road, it is a mid-to-high-end jeep.

Therefore, what the Beijing Auto Factory's Vice President Wang saw is not the full picture of the Tantuo.

The Hongxing Lingyang only does compact low-end cars, and the Tantuo will realize the occupation of the mid-to-high-end off-road market in the future.

Opportunities are left to those who are prepared; does Li Xuewu want to see Toyotas running all over the road in the 70s and 80s?

Of course, Vice President Wang will see the Tantuo today this year, and will see the Tantuo next year, a more advanced Tantuo.

Anyway, how much money does it cost to rub a car by hand? This is like the carrot in front of the donkey, the lecher behind the girl.

The main thing is that you don't dare to bet whether there are bullets in my gun!

This car will appear in front of your eyes every year, showing the Red Star Factory's technical reserve strength with a more advanced posture.

Don't ask, no matter which year you come, Li Xuewu's answer will always be that mass production will be realized immediately.

Believe it or not, whatever—

When you don't believe it, we mass-produce it, catching you off guard, throwing away your armor—do you believe it?

Does the Beijing Auto Factory dare to bet?

"You are really annoying—"

Gu Weijie glared at Li Xuewu and gestured to the exhibition area and asked: "You have a bottom in your heart?"

"This root is the thickest; if you don't eat it, I'll give it to someone else—"

Li Xuewu held a small section of sugarcane and gestured: "It's very sweet, the juice must be very much."

"Get lost, getting more and more improper!"

Gu Weijie couldn't hear that this bastard was playing tricks on her.

Even if not, she is a dignified deputy director of the factory management committee, gnawing on sugarcane at the rest stand!

She tapped the table with her finger and reminded: "The exhibition work for tomorrow is all prepared, right?"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be no trouble," Li Xuewu didn't move that section of sugarcane, but wiped his hands with a towel and added: "Even if something happens, it's Wang Yuzheng's business."

Wang Yuzheng, former deputy director of the Finance Department; after the establishment of the Management Committee, organizational structure transformation, he became the deputy leader of the Economic Management Group, director of the Finance Department, presiding over financial management work.

In March of this year, I don't know how he hooked up with Li Huai De; after Jin Yaohui had an accident, he was transferred to the Tertiary Industry Management Department to serve as the director.

No need to think about it, he was promoted.

Sent out and promoted by half a level, the unit is outside the factory wall, even eating is coming back to eat; such an external assignment is so comfortable.

Above the Finance Division, there is the leader of the Management Group, which is managed by the original Finance Division Director, Lv Yuanshen, and above that, it is managed by Jing Yunong.

After arriving at the Tertiary Industry Management Department, he is directly responsible to the competent leader.

Originally, Jing Yunong was responsible for tertiary industry business, recently gradually shifting to Cheng Kaiyuan.

Wang Yuzheng is not Jin Yaohui; he has been playing the abacus for half a lifetime, very shrewd.

Even if his butt was sold to Li Huai De, the principles still can't be lost.

Jin Yaohui originally made small moves here, but he didn't dare.

Because whether he is responsible to Deputy Director Jing or Deputy Director Cheng, he has to be responsible to Li Xuewu.

This is absolutely a hurdle he can't get around.

Gu Weijie seemed to hear that Li Xuewu's words had a deeper meaning, glanced at the exhibition, and didn't pick up this topic.

"Besides the vehicle engineering achievement display, how is the effect of other displays?"

"The construction of the transfer warehouse has received a high degree of attention," Li Xuewu explained: "The brother units that came this time are mostly small and medium-sized units, all enterprises with car dreams."

"The competitive situation is still very severe."

Gu Weijie nodded, hugged her arms and looked at the flowing heads in the exhibition area, reminding: "Our pressure is also great."

"This is also called pressure?"

Li Xuewu tilted his chin and said: "We have already established multiple vehicle models and multiple production lines, and core parts technology like engines and transmissions are far ahead."

He gestured to the exhibition crowd and said: "We are already considered a head car company; they are the ones under pressure."

"Maybe you haven't realized what this supply chain conference means."

Gu Weijie turned to look at Li Xuewu, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Then please enlighten me, Expert Li?"

"Easy to say, easy to say—"

Li Xuewu smiled and said very seriously: "The supply chain conference held by the Red Star Factory today will inevitably become a watershed for the automotive industry."

He gestured to the left: "Before this, the Spring and Autumn era of filling the gaps in the automotive industry—trucks, sedans, jeeps—if you make them, you are successful, and you don't worry about the market at all."

After finishing, he gestured to the right: "After this, the Warring States era of the booming automotive industry; when building a car becomes as simple as stacking blocks, excellent products will spring up like mushrooms after rain."

"The Spring and Autumn era can still contend for hegemony, but the Warring States era..."

Li Xuewu deliberately left half a sentence unsaid, letting Gu Weijie think for herself.

"Then what about the Red Star Factory? If you divide the automotive industry into the Spring and Autumn and Warring States eras."

Gu Weijie found this explanation very interesting, looked at Li Xuewu meaningfully and asked: "What do you think the Red Star Factory should do?"

"This question is not easy to answer," Li Xuewu stood straight and said with a smile: "It will take me ten years to explore and answer."

Gu Weijie raised her eyebrows and said: "Then I will wait and see."

The Red Star Factory released a heavy bomb message on the first afternoon.

Old Li told the visiting factory heads that the Red Star Factory will build parts warehouses in several key cities in the north and south in the future.

That is to say, the automotive parts supply chain is not enough; this is to implement standardized production of the automotive industry.

Some parts, such as screws, bolts, fasteners, bearings, etc., can actually be used universally.

The reason why current automotive products cannot use parts interchangeably is that they didn't consider this point when designing the car.

And when there is a supply chain, car manufacturing costs drop, forcing car companies to reduce unnecessary investment.

In terms of design, we must try to reduce the consumption of similar replaceable products.

That is to say, the Red Star Factory will publish a supply, production, and storage standard for automotive parts warehouses.

If you design based on this standard, you don't need to design these parts.

Moreover, it saves the procurement and production links; you place an order, the goods are transferred immediately, more comprehensively guaranteeing production efficiency.

A more direct impact is that when these parts are damaged, it is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

In this way, automotive parts manufacturing enterprises also greatly save production consumption, killing many birds with one stone.

However, not to mention why the Red Star Factory is so painstaking and bearing the cost pressure, let's just say that after doing this, has the car manufacturing cost dropped another level?

Damn!

Listen to what Li Huai De said!

"It is a great honor to announce to everyone that because we have just completed the acquisition of the Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory..."

Old Li's speech wasn't very wordy, but he had to take care of everyone's emotions.

He couldn't let the brother units who came from afar obviously feel that he was showing off.

So here, briefly, Old Li talked about the Red Star Factory having a complete core technology foundation, and also taking the lead in forming a machine processing industrial cluster.

The core production technology belongs to the Red Star Factory, but the results are shared with cooperative enterprises in Fengcheng and Steel City.

These units provide money and effort, the Red Star Factory provides technology and management, jointly building a machine processing enterprise with advanced productive forces in Liaodong.

What has to do with the automotive industry is that the Red Star Factory's core parts production capacity like engines has greatly improved, and it is expected to provide these products to supply chain enterprises in the future.

Look, people used to say car manufacturing is difficult; where is it difficult?

Conventional parts production costs are high, core parts technology is difficult, empty-handed enthusiasm and design, as well as stingy factory construction costs—where would they dare to throw these into the river to hit water?

Now it's different; the Red Star Factory changed the production system of conventional parts in the first step, no need for you to produce them yourself.

Even the cost of purchasing from our supply chain is lower than your own production—are you happy!

It's not over yet; we not only provide conventional parts, but also standardized and formulated production standards for conventional general-purpose parts, greatly reducing production and design costs—are you happy!

It's not over yet; you say there is no core technology, so now there is; our factory also provides excellent core parts!

Car companies that have stood firm and realized mass production are cursing; car companies that are preparing to build cars and expand projects are cheering.

These people actually all know that even if the Red Star Factory is generous, the core parts sold are also iterated products.

Look at how generous Li Huai De is, saying that all the core parts currently used by the Hongxing Lingyang car are on the shelf.

Fart!

The technology currently used by the Hongxing Lingyang car is still an improved version, which is the foundation of the 30s and 40s of the Willys car; even if improved, how advanced can it be?

Yes, it's such a terrible technology, but we still can't build it.

However, from Old Li's generosity, it is not difficult to see that the core technology applied by the Hongxing Lingyang II must be a cross-generational upgrade iteration.

The first generation of this basic technology is eliminated, beautified, and became a synonym for the Red Star Factory's generosity.

Small car enterprises that want to build cars, although they are uncomfortable in their hearts, still have to cheer.

Having is better than not having; solving the production difficulties of core parts and conventional parts, they are left with the difficulties of design and factory construction.

Is this also called a difficulty?

The ones cursing the hardest are "advanced" car companies like the Beijing Auto Factory.

Originally, there were car companies imitating the 212, they couldn't collect patent fees, and they had to support blueprints—it was very heart-wrenching.

Now it's good, no need to imitate, people don't use it anymore; people who design tractors can also design cars.

Just like assembling bicycles, pick parts and engines from the Red Star Factory's warehouse, pull them back with a tricycle, and assemble them at home.

The news announced by Li Huai De, and the car manufacturing industrial system he explained, couldn't help but remind everyone of a very popular piece of furniture in the country now.

When it comes, it's loose; you want a few grids and a few sizes, take a screwdriver and hammer at home and assemble it yourself.

Assembled furniture stunned the carpenters, and automotive parts transfer warehouses stunned the car companies.

Looking at the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene, the car-building people with red eyes, the heads of Factory 17, SAIC, Beijing Auto, and Jiangnan Factory looked at each other, and their hearts thumped.

You just say, do you want to do the production line and supply chain or not?

The Red Star Factory has put this knife on their necks; extending the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.

If the Red Star Factory really builds the supply chain, the situation of one family dominating will be formed; can this work?

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the test drive area started to collect cars, and the exhibition area also started to clear the field.

The test drive area can still be visited and test-driven tomorrow, but the content of the exhibition hall today is over.

After clearing the field at six o'clock in the evening, the original exhibition stands have to be dismantled and replaced with tomorrow's exhibition stands.

As the host, the Red Star Factory occupied an afternoon to exhibit industrial and technical achievements alone.

Tomorrow, that is, the morning and afternoon of the second day, is to showcase the development achievements of supply chain enterprises.

Therefore, when the enterprise heads and technical personnel leave here to eat and prepare for the tea party in the evening, the exhibition hall has to be busy all night.

Morning lectures, afternoon exhibition, a whole day's harvest, I believe the heads and technical personnel of all units have things they want to say and chat about.

The Red Star Factory also thoughtfully prepared melons, fruits, tea, and water for them, talking around the stove at night.

In the long pavilions and gazebos on both sides of Tuanjie Lake, the lights were bright, and waiters were already preparing for tonight's activities.

Li Xuewu ate dinner at the small canteen, first returned to the office to handle some business, and then came to the reception house.

When he arrived here, there were more people on both sides of Tuanjie Lake than mosquitoes.

Zhou Yao stood nervously under a big tree at the entrance, holding a walkie-talkie, always guarding against danger in the exhibition.

Recently, her spirit was tense, things kept happening outside the factory, and there were many activities inside the factory; she couldn't even rest on weekends.

"Have you eaten?"

"Ah! Leader—you scared me—"

Zhou Yao, who was staring at both sides of Tuanjie Lake, was startled by the voice behind her.

Just about to get angry, she saw clearly that the person coming was Li Xuewu.

She scolded with the crisp voice unique to young girls, then felt embarrassed, lowered her head and tidied the hair by her ear.

"Hehehe—"

Li Xuewu was just doing it on purpose, playing around without any leader status to scare his female subordinates.

Seeing him laugh like this, Zhou Yao knew he was bad, pouted and hummed lightly.

"If you haven't eaten, I'll treat you—"

Li Xuewu gestured to the small restaurant in the reception house and said: "I still have money stored here; go and put it on my account."

"You are really generous—"

Zhou Yao pursed her lips, looked at the activity scene and said: "Treating guests and choosing the reception house, and still storing money and putting it on account."

"I heard that even Nie Xiaoguang has eaten your braised pork."

"What's called my braised pork—"

Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at her: "If you want to eat, just go, don't be polite."

"After eating, work meal."

Zhou Yao rolled her eyes, then couldn't help laughing: "Wait until tomorrow, I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

"Then I have to take all the money out tonight!"

Li Xuewu looked stingy, which made Zhou Yao laugh and joke for a while.

Actually, Zhou Yao also knew that the leader was kind, fierce on the outside, and talented on the inside.

Especially after work, he was even more kind to them, rarely scolding them, mostly playing around.

Serious when serious, earnest when earnest, kind when kind.

Many people in the Security Section said that some of her small habits or temperament were very much like Li Xuewu.

She had to admit that learning how to become a qualified security guard, her goal was Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't see which point she was like him; taking advantage of the free time, he asked about the case from a few days ago.

"The procedures on the branch side are over, and the Political Section passed it very quickly; it's also because our materials are very complete."

Zhou Yao introduced: "Director Zheng supervised it personally, Section Chief Wang presided over it, and the speed was still very fast."

"Are all the people handled?"

Li Xuewu brushed his arm, driving away the mosquitoes close to him, looked at Zhou Yao and asked: "Nie Xiaoguang was let go?"

"No, detained for fifteen days, let him be honest."

Zhou Yao pulled the corners of her mouth, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Leader, do you have any arrangements for him?"

"Hehe, why ask like this?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows: "He's just a child; what arrangements can I have for him."

"I don't know, I see you care about him, and worry about him..."

Zhou Yao said two sentences and then stopped, continuing to answer the previous question.

"Tong Yan was sent away early in the morning according to your instructions, but also urged her to cooperate with the investigation and evidence collection at any time."

She specifically emphasized: "I let her and Seeing Wei Guo meet once, and they didn't say anything."

"Seeing Wei Guo and others were taken away by the branch the day before yesterday afternoon; now there is only Nie Xiaoguang in the detention room."

"Mm, keep an eye on it—"

Li Xuewu's expression didn't have the joy of the case being handled perfectly; it was a murder case, what was there to be happy about.

"You can pay more attention to Nie Xiaoguang; I think he has a constitution that attracts disaster."

After saying that, he pointed to the activity scene and went inside.

Zhou Yao stood in place, blankly looking at Li Xuewu's back, still pondering in her heart, what is a disaster-attracting constitution?

A broom star?

"Leader, the heads of the five major factories have gathered together."

Sha Qizhi turned around, seeing Li Xuewu coming, hurriedly came up to report, "They are upstairs, with secretaries blocking the door not letting anyone in."

"Mm, I know—"

Li Xuewu looked up at the window on the second floor; the curtains were drawn very tightly—group beating?

"It doesn't matter; our core theme is openness and cooperation. Do you only talk about cooperation and not openness?"

He patted Sha Qizhi's arm, took him into the crowd, and said while walking: "The pattern must be opened, and the heart must be able to accommodate talent."

Just kidding, would Li Xuewu be afraid of the five major factories gathering together to kick the Red Star Factory out?

Of course, the five major factories working together absolutely have the ability to build a new automotive parts supply chain platform.

Don't even need to think of a way yourself, just copy the Red Star Factory's.

In this period, nothing more than you copy me, I copy you, everyone copies each other.

Copying back and forth, technology spins in place, products can't be taken out, making it a strange circle.

The Red Star Factory is not only not afraid of the five major factories copying, but even willing to open the door to let them copy.

If this pool of water isn't stirred muddy, who knows which stick is thicker and more powerful.

Anyway, the Red Star Factory is a professional stirrer, not afraid of these old immortals.

From machine processing to production lines, from technology to equipment, from professional factories to marketing channels, the Red Star Factory has a complete automotive industrial system.

We play supply chain with preparation; you want to engage in supply chain, who will be the master?

If you say one family of the five families engages, there is still a possibility of success.

But five families engage together, hehe!

Have you heard the story of three monks having no water to drink? Three monks have no water to drink, but five monks have it?

Besides, even if they build a supply chain, who will they sell the parts to?

Are they willing to take out core parts to support those new car-building forces to grab their development luck?

This matter is quite interesting; Li Xuewu told it as a joke to Li Huai De; guess what Li Huai De said?

He said the convener of these five families is just looking at people shitting and their own asses hurting.

Hiss—

Still have to say it's Old Li; this Management Committee director really has culture; look at this word used, so fancy.

The protagonist of this tea party tonight must be the Red Star Factory, and what everyone is discussing is also the Red Star Factory's achievements and technical display.

Another thing, everyone gathered together is also talking about the impact of the Red Star Factory's move on the domestic automotive industry.

Li Huai De and a group of factory leaders didn't stay long; they came over to take a turn after work and then went home.

Li Xuewu was very at ease with the situation here; with the host at home, the guests always couldn't let go, so the Red Star Factory's leaders fulfilled the host's friendship and then all withdrew.

He was also rushing home, teasing his daughter, coaxing his son; life is not just the dog and things in front of you, but also poetry and consummating the marriage.

"Is the small motorcycle your factory produces easy to ride?"

At night, they were all lying down; Li Xuewu came back from the study and heard his wife ask this.

He looked at Gu Ning somewhat surprised and asked: "You want one?"

"What am I riding it for?"

Gu Ning glanced at him and said: "Just these two steps, if I ride another motorcycle..."

She didn't finish the second half of the sentence, and Li Xuewu also knew—showing off.

He lay down on the bed, put his arm around Gu Ning's shoulder, let her lean in his arms, and asked: "Why did you ask about this?"

"I heard someone in the section talking about it, saying it's quite easy to ride, even lower than a bicycle."

Gu Ning raised her head, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "What do you think about buying one for Mom?"

"You are really avant-garde—"

Li Xuewu looked at his wife amusingly and asked: "How did you suddenly think of buying a motorcycle for Mom?"

He really couldn't understand Gu Ning's brain circuit; let the old lady ride a motorcycle?

"It's convenient to go home, didn't you see Mom misses home—"

Gu Ning patted him lightly and reminded: "Last time we didn't go back, this week you have something to do, still can't go back..."

"Sigh—I know—"

Li Xuewu nodded helplessly and said: "I'll let Guodong come to pick her up, or Jiankun will send you back."

"Do you think Mom will agree?"

Gu Ning pushed him, sat up and said: "Mom is very careful when she comes, very afraid of troubling us; even if we specifically send her back, even if I and the children follow, she definitely won't be willing."

"I can come back tonight, but we have to have a meeting until very late tomorrow night," Li Xuewu leaned on the bed and thought, shaking his head: "I have to be busy all day on Sunday, I can't come back."

"So I said, if it's really convenient, just buy one for Mom, treat it as a substitute for walking."

Gu Ning, as a daughter-in-law, is really willing to spend money on her mother-in-law.

499 yuan for a motorcycle—what kind of purchasing power is this?

Men and women in the city getting married, the whole set of preparations doesn't need this price, and she said she would give it away.

Of course, on one hand, both of them can earn, and Li Xuewu has income besides his salary,

On the other hand, seeing her mother-in-law is really hard, having to get up in the middle of the night to help her take care of the children, letting her have more time to rest.

Five hundred yuan is equivalent to more than half a year of her salary.

"You still have to ask Mom about this, see if she can ride it; after all, it's a motor vehicle."

Li Xuewu patted his wife's back and reminded: "She has a careful personality; if you say you are buying it for her, she definitely won't let you."

"Of course I can't say I bought it for her—"

Gu Ning glanced at Li Xuewu reproachfully, followed Li Xuewu's gesture and lay down, twisted her body in his arms, found a more comfortable position, and looked at the night outside the window: "Just say I bought it myself, let her use it together."

"Mm, Mom didn't hear it; if she heard it," Li Xuewu propped himself up and looked at her, laughing: "Even if she complains on her lips, she will definitely say you are the best daughter-in-law in the world in her heart!"

Answering him was Gu Ning's white eye, and the reserve of pushing away his strange hand.

"What are you doing—we have to go to work tomorrow—"

Gu Ning stared and threatened softly: "You feed the milk in the middle of the night!"

"I'd like to feed it, but I have to have it!"

Li Xuewu sighed, lay helplessly on the pillow, his full nature turned into complaints, "What's the use of having a son, he only knows how to rob me of my wife!"

"Hmph—"

Gu Ning raised her hand and hammered him, wanting to hum, but couldn't help laughing.

Looking at his shameless appearance, she laughed and lay on Li Xuewu's broad back.

This back is like a panel, her half body is lying on it, rising and falling with Li Xuewu's breathing, feeling each other's existence and warmth.

"I didn't expect it, it's been more than a year."

She said softly: "Li Shu can cause trouble, Li Ning can turn over; time passes really fast."

"Mm—" Li Xuewu's head lay on the pillow, humming through his nose: "I think time passes very slowly."

"As long as I am with you, life always has bits and pieces worth me remembering and experiencing; I can't bear to part with every minute and every second."

"Mm—"

It was very rare that Gu Ning didn't feel shy and refuse when listening to his cheesy love words, but used her hand to hold his body, wanting to stick together more tightly, proving his words were true.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"I remember every time we met."

Li Xuewu raised his shoulder and gestured to her: "When I first met you, I didn't expect that the rest of my life would be you."

"I thought of it—"

Gu Ning's voice was a bit low, and with a bit of romantic memory, she leaned her head on Li Xuewu's shoulder and said: "I thought at that time, what are you arrogant about, at worst I'll marry you—"

"Pfft—kuku—"

Li Xuewu didn't dare to laugh loudly, afraid of waking his son, so he could only bury his head in the pillow and laugh muffledly, letting Gu Ning hammer his shoulder hard—this is shyness.

Battlefield hospital, artillery fire flying, life is like a leaf, some on the tree, some in the mud, some gray and destroyed...

At that time, a red heart worn on the head, life and death were put aside, all were children of the motherland, who cared about talking about love.

He was injured, he was disfigured, comrades-in-arms were aggrieved for him, but they didn't know that Gu Ning, who encountered this environment for the first time, was also full of panic, pretending to be calm.

Colleagues knew her background, but shells didn't know who she was; in that place, how few people died?

After the two played around, they didn't speak, each recalling each other's youth and war.

The thing Li Xuewu didn't regret most in his life was dedicating his youth to national defense and his life to the frontier.

If he could measure the border line with his life, he would be willing to grow another centimeter taller and lie straight in that deep mountain and old forest.

The quiet night, the noisy sound of crickets downstairs, set off the sound of artillery fire in the depths of memory, this is the reference for peace.

I don't know how long it passed, Li Xuewu felt the coolness of the pajamas, silently turned around, and held the tearful Gu Ning in his arms.

Only those who have experienced war can realize the preciousness of peace, and only those who have experienced war dare to dedicate their lives for peace.

"Mom called me—"

Gu Ning sniffed, organized her emotions, and then said to Li Xuewu: "Seeing Wei Guo's mother called her."

"I thought they would do this," Li Xuewu didn't have the slightest surprise, just sneered: "It's just that I didn't expect their bottom line to be so low."

"Mom is very angry, but she can only be angry, there is nowhere to talk about it, she can only call me to remind me to take care of you more."

Gu Ning's hand took the initiative to hold Li Xuewu's big hand, saying: "Sometimes I think, is there really a hand of fate manipulating life, playing with mortals."

"This hand?"

Li Xuewu teased his wife and raised the hand held by her, laughing: "My hand doesn't have the ability to manipulate life, but manipulating..."

"Bad—"

Gu Ning pouted and hammered him, scolding: "Don't you have a serious time!"

"In the middle of the night, I'm holding my wife and talking about life, talking about cause and effect; am I sick?"

Li Xuewu held Gu Ning in his arms barbarically and domineeringly, looked at her and said: "Whether it's cause and effect I don't know, I just know they asked for it themselves."

"If they were like me, being a clean person, doing things upright, could they have today's ending?"

He leaned his forehead against Gu Ning's forehead and said: "Now think about whether it's better to have a son or a daughter for the second child; my suggestion is twins..."
