On February 1st, the 30th day of the Lunar New Year in 1965, at 0:30, Moran was curled up in Du Weiguo's arms.
She gently drew a circle on Du Weiguo's heart with her finger, and said in a lazy voice:
"Happy New Year! Du Weiguo."
At this moment, Du Weiguo was half-lying and half-lying against the head of the bed, holding a cigarette between his slender fingers. He took a long breath of smoke and looked at the smoke slowly dispersing in the sky. His tone was a bit distant and ethereal:
"Molan, I'm a little hungry, how about you?"
The Spring Festival is the most important traditional Chinese festival. Although the research institute is a confidential unit, it still cannot resist tradition.
After all, there is a holiday. He has a holiday on New Year's Eve, and then goes to work on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Of course, Du Weiguo is very sad, he does not have a holiday.
During the Spring Festival, not only did he have no vacation, but his workload was even heavier than usual.
Because most of the researchers usually live in the research institute, and they are basically outsiders, and they don’t have many relatives or friends in Baoshan City.
Therefore, these researchers only do not go to the office to work during their holidays, and they still eat in the cafeteria.
But since it was a holiday and it was still the Spring Festival, these researchers naturally wanted to go out and buy some small things or snacks, local specialties, firecrackers candies, Spring Festival couplets, dried fruits, etc.
According to the regulations of the institute, during holidays, when more than 5 people in the institute go out, they need to be accompanied by comrades from the security department.
So since the morning of the 31st, Du Weiguo has been busy with these things. Once these noble scholars become stubborn, it is actually very difficult to deal with them. This one has to go to the east, and that one has to go to the west.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There is nothing wrong with this saying. Once these usually aloof nerds get into trouble, they will be really troublesome.
Some are dissatisfied with this, others look down on this, and there are various small groups divided into various groups based on regions, majors, and departments.
There is simply no consensus, and it is difficult to agree with everyone. Du Weiguo has only been here a few days and is not familiar with these researchers at all.
He couldn't even name them, let alone the grievances and specific circumstances between them. Du Weiguo couldn't keep a straight face during the Chinese New Year, so he insisted on making one-size-fits-all decisions.
Therefore, it was not easy to gather 5 people at once. Du Weiguo was busy all morning and was sweating profusely. It was not until noon that he finally answered the questions of these living ancestors correctly.
When the last wave of researchers left, the first two waves had already returned. Damn, they were so convinced.
In fact, not only Du Weiguo had a headache today, but the director of the cafeteria of the institute also had an even more headache! He was so worried that he almost exploded on the spot!
He has encountered a problem, and this problem is today's meal!
At noon, because it was New Year's Eve, the canteen naturally had to add more dishes. Since the institute's standards and benefits were very high, and it was in time for the Chinese New Year, the canteen was well stocked with rare good things like meat, vegetables, eggs, and poultry.
Everyone is gearing up to have a good and prosperous year!
But just because of the trivial matter of today's canteen dishes and New Year's Eve dumpling fillings, they almost got into a fight. The canteen director was also worried about this.
Food is the most important thing for the people!
Chinese people are obsessed with food tastes, especially during the Spring Festival. If conditions permit, everyone has very different obsessions with New Year's Eve dinner, making the canteen director's hair turn gray almost overnight.
The main force behind this taste battle is naturally these tough researchers, who come from all over China.
Although there are only more than a hundred people in total, they basically cover all provinces in China, and even regions such as Xinjiang, Tibet, and Qinghai are represented. One can imagine how different the tastes are.
Among them, the most controversial ones are actually representatives from the two groups in Beijing and Shanghai.
Strictly speaking, the representatives of the capital actually include a wide range of areas north of the Yellow River.
The representative of Shanghai is the vast area south of the Yangtze River. In fact, this can be regarded as a dispute between the sweet and salty parties.
The north likes strong salty food! The South likes sweetness and lightness. Of course, this is not all, but the two gangs here almost escalated from a verbal dispute to a full-scale martial arts battle just because of the menu and dumpling fillings during the Spring Festival. Oh my, these industrious scholars almost got into a fight. .
The head of the research institute happens to be from Nanyang, Henan Province. To be honest, his taste is in the middle, ranging from sweet to salty.
His character is originally very resolute and courageous, but just because of a question about what to eat during the New Year, he can't get angry, right?
Moreover, he also knew in his heart that this was not a simple dispute over taste, it was nothing more than a long-standing grudge that someone was taking advantage of.
Some of the usual conflicts were intensified over the New Year's Eve dinner. Hehe, it has been a custom for literati to look down on each other since ancient times.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, especially in the current situation~~ Hehe, I can’t say it anymore, please understand it yourself.
This argument did not start today, but started the day before yesterday. But at noon today, when everyone saw the dishes and dumpling fillings, the conflict completely broke out!
There are a total of 8 dishes in the canteen today, mainly northern cuisine, with two specially added spicy dishes. The staple food is dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage.
It is not difficult to see that this dish is mainly based on northern tastes. At the same time, it also takes appropriate care of the two lakes and the southwest and northwest regions. These places all love spicy food.
This is already pretty good. The current generation is not one where materials are abundant. Materials are relatively scarce now. It is quite difficult to achieve this level.
Except for those areas where express delivery began to include free shipping in later generations, basically everything was taken care of.
Basically, most researchers are satisfied with today's lunch. Du Weiguo, who has a northern taste and loves spicy food, is especially satisfied with today's lunch.
But some people were not satisfied. When Du Weiguo rushed to the canteen after finishing his work, he saw two groups of people confronting each other.
On one side, there is an obvious Wuyue accent mixed with a few Cantonese words, while on the other side, there is a typical Yanzhao accent mixed with a bit of a big flavor.
The two groups were quarreling red-faced and very angry. They even rolled up their arms and sleeves and wanted to take action if they disagreed.
Du Weiguo couldn't help being amused when he saw this scene. He looked at the people facing each other on both sides. Good guy, the combined age of these people must be more than a thousand years old.
The total prescription of glasses is probably tens of thousands of degrees, and there is almost no one without glasses.
Hey! With this look, you really want to take action. Can you tell the difference between friend and foe?
He greeted several comrades of Bao Weike who were nearby, and walked over with Wang Li and Xiao Jun, easily separating the two groups. After all, it would be ugly if someone who was celebrating the New Year really made a move.
At this time, the dean also rushed over after hearing the inquiry. He was originally preparing a New Year's speech in the evening in the office. When he heard that the canteen was about to start working, he hurried over.
After someone from the two groups tried to dissuade them, the quarrel became even fiercer across the human wall of the security department. All kinds of swear words with local characteristics were heard endlessly, and it became very loud, hehe!
Who says educated people can’t curse? The scolding was just as vulgar, not much different from a shrew.
The dean was a skinny old man, 58 years old, whose surname was Jiang. He gave some loud advice, but unfortunately, the effect was not very good.
He was a little angry, and it looked like he was about to lose his temper. He was not purely engaged in scientific research, but was a political worker. But now that he is older, his temper has calmed down.
If he had had a bad temper when he was young, he would have beaten these two people twenty times each and put them in solitary confinement.
Du Weiguo was very eye-catching. At this time, he gently pulled him and said lightly:
"Dean, it's Chinese New Year, you better not lose your temper, it can easily affect morale."
Jiang Yuan glanced at Du Weiguo in surprise, pushed up his glasses frame, shook his head slightly, and said angrily:
"Xiao Du, tell me, these people have read their books into the dog's belly. It's really outrageous. They are just some grudges, celebrating the New Year, and they are causing trouble for everyone!"
Du Weiguo glanced at the novices on both sides who were so noisy that they smiled unconsciously. The scene was a bit noisy.
He whispered into Jiang Yuan's ear. After Jiang Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled with a look of satisfaction on his face. He patted Du Weiguo on the shoulder:
"Haha, good boy, it's really your idea. It's really a good idea! Let's do it!"
Du Weiguo nodded, suppressed his smile, walked to the field, and roared:
"Quiet!"
Du Weiguo's roar was like a thunderbolt, and like a Buddhist lion's roar, and it also contained an evil spirit that reached the sky.
The mutual squabbling between the two groups was immediately suppressed, and the scene suddenly became so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Du Weiguo walked to the middle of the field at a leisurely pace, looked around the whole place, then calmly said calmly:
"What are you arguing about? There is no winner in a quarrel, and neither can you in a fight. You are all capable and knowledgeable people, and you are all experts in various fields.
In this case, today is the Lunar New Year, so let's add a program. If you don't agree with each other, we will test our own special skills in the witness of everyone in the hospital. Whoever wins the recipe for dinner will listen to whoever wins! "
Someone at Yanzhao suddenly shouted: "How to compare? Tell me the rules!"
Du Weiguo smiled: "You will have 5 people from each side to give each other questions. The time limit is 1 hour. The one who answers first wins.
When the time comes, it will be clear at a glance who is strong and weak, and whoever wins will decide the menu tonight. "
At this time, someone from Wu Yue asked: "What if there is a draw?"
Du Weiguo nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"If there is a tie, then we will try another question. Whoever gets the answer correct first will win. Jiang Yuan will be the notary throughout the competition, and all colleagues will be witnesses. It is impartial and guarantees absolute fairness, openness and impartiality!"
Du Weiguo looked around and saw that the two groups were still glaring at each other like cockfighting cocks. He asked loudly:
"How about it? Do you dare? If it doesn't work, we will not care about protecting Ke Ke, let you have a free fight, and then we will go to our Keli prison to celebrate the New Year together!"
A man with a northeastern accent shouted: "Oh! Let's compare, it's a donkey or a horse, let's take it out for a walk! Just shut up from now on!"
A Cantonese Mandarin speaker immediately responded: "Bi, I'm going to eat plain-cut chicken and sweet glutinous rice balls tonight. Don't be dissatisfied!"
Therefore, this unique New Year's Eve knowledge competition initiated by Du Weiguo began under the auspices of Dean Jiang.
It was a rest day anyway, so lunch was postponed. Most of the researchers watching the theater were also happy to see this form of competition. They were in high spirits and would not feel bored at all.
After Du Weiguo finished his suggestion, he retired. He has nothing to do here anymore. As for this professional knowledge, he knows nine out of ten. Damn, he knows nothing at all!
Compared with the knowledge reserve of these powerless scholars, Du Weiguo is just blind, not much better than illiterate.
What particularly surprised Du Weiguo was that Mo Lan actually got involved. Her ancestral home is Suzhou, and she does like sweets.
Not only that, she actually became one of the five representatives, which shows that she is also a leader in the professional field.
In the final match, with a score of 5 to 4, the Wu Yue team finally won, and the winning shot was a math problem solved by Fox Eyes Moran.
She looked at Shenghui amidst the cheers, looking very proud.
Well, it is indeed very remarkable. From this incident, it can be seen that Moran has real materials.
You know, all the researchers who can be transferred to this institute are selected from the best among hundreds of millions of people across the country.
No one is given for free at all. Basically, everyone is the top scholar in a certain field.
When Du Weiguo was eating, Moran even gave him a very subtle look, looking very proud!
The dinner was indeed a strong Shanghai flavor, and it was extremely sweet. In fact, it was not that Du Weiguo couldn't tolerate sweetness. It didn't matter if he only had one or two meals now and then.
This sweet and salty dispute is just a farce, a derivative of other conflicts, and it can be considered an end here.
In the evening, the institute also showed a movie in the cafeteria, Wild Fire and Spring Wind Fighting the Ancient City! The New Year atmosphere here in Baoshan is general, with only a sporadic sound of firecrackers.
That night, Du Weiguo was on duty until 2 a.m., and then spent New Year's Eve peacefully on the camp bed in the office, somewhat desolate.
On the first day of the new year, very few of these researchers who like to be quiet but not active apply to go out again.
Most of them are staying in the dormitory, playing chess and cards. There are also three or two people in the dormitory who are drinking some specialties sold yesterday.
After getting familiar with it yesterday, Du Weiguo became more comfortable today. Three researchers and one security comrade completed the work easily and started fishing in the office again.
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, he wrote a letter to Yang Caiyu, who was six years old, to report that he was safe. Calculating the time, she should not have received the letter yet.
I don’t know how she spent this New Year. Du Weiguo really missed her, even though he was hanging out with Mo Lan almost every day.
But Yang Caiyu's position has always been untouchable, and it is an independently reserved territory in Du Weiguo's heart.
Damn, that's the bad thing about working in a confidential unit. There is no way to receive letters. The institute is not only a piece of paper that is allowed in and out.
Even received letters have to be opened and checked, and records have to be transcribed. There is no privacy at all.
The dormitory can be mailed, but there is no mailbox in the dormitory at all, and Du Weiguo is not at home every day, which is very troublesome.
Moreover, Du Weiguo was also very worried that Yang Caiyu would suddenly come over. Liupanshui was very close to Chuncheng, and he was really afraid that Yang Caiyu would come over suddenly.
So Du Weiguo thought twice, and on the grounds that the mission needed to be kept confidential, he did not leave her an address. He just told Yang Caiyu that he would report to her that he was safe every week.
On the third day of the new year, the research institute officially started work, and Du Weiguo also started to take a rest. Last night when he went back to his dormitory, he was attacked by Moran again at night.
At 10:30 in the evening, she rushed over. Damn, this girl Mo Lan has been very clingy recently. Originally, Du Weiguo wanted to go to Guo Hanhong to inform each other of the intelligence and progress.
At 3:30 in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Guo Hanhong suddenly sat up from the bed. Just when he was sleeping, someone put a cold finger on his neck, of course it was Du Weiguo.
Guo Hanhong was frightened on the spot and broke out in cold sweat. His face turned pale. Du Weiguo laughed silently in the darkness, his white teeth shining with a dark light:
"Guo Chu, your security measures are not very good here? If I were a killer, you would have been dead just now."
Guo Hanhong breathed heavily. After a while, he lit a cigarette, took a long breath, frowned and said:
"It's not that we can't do it, it's that you are so awesome!"
In fact, Guo Hanhong was also a little puzzled, how could this kid sneak in quietly? Damn, these bastards have to be drilled tomorrow.
His place is a three-bedroom house on the outskirts of the city. He lives in the middle courtyard. There are people in the front and back yards, and they are guarded day and night.
There are both open and hidden sentries and mobile sentries, which can be said to be impregnable. However, everyone knows Du Weiguo, so he can come and go freely at ordinary times.
In fact, Lao Guo knew nothing. Du Weiguo's grandson used the blinking skill to get in. He arrived at Guo Hanhong's bedroom window with a blinking technique. After careful observation, he blinked again and arrived in front of his bed.
Everything was done quietly and without anyone noticing. Du Weiguo was definitely the god of assassination in this time and space. As long as he was given a little preparation time, no one could escape, yes, no one!
Du Weiguo pulled up a chair and sat down. He also lit a cigarette:
"Guo Chu, I didn't come here specifically to check your security system. I want to know the latest information. Is the giant monster's radio station active?"
Guo Hanhong had calmed down now, and he said in a somewhat excited tone:
"Well, hehe, you are really smart. Recently, the frequency of the giant demon has been active five times in a row. We have locked the specific address of his radio station.
Monitoring is currently being implemented, hey! The giant monster is not far away from completely appearing. "
Du Weiguo frowned slightly at this time and asked in a deep voice: "Guo Chu, is there still no way to decipher the content of their communication?"
Guo Hanhong shook his head and said helplessly:
"This is the most regrettable thing, what a pity! Deciphering the message code is an extremely huge project.
It requires long-term research by a professional team to have any hope. If we can get the complete code book from the giant monster, then our achievements this time will be great. "
Du Weiguo nodded lightly. He could understand this. Decoding was indeed a big project and could not be accomplished overnight.
"Guo Chu, there is a shop selling bait silk at the entrance of our research institute called Nails, and there is also a sugar cane shop at the door of the dormitory building where I live. Tonight, it was replaced by a shop selling glutinous rice cakes.
From this point of view, the opponent's manpower is very sufficient, but the size is a bit big! Do you have enough manpower here?
Don't capsize in the gutter and let others swallow you! "
After hearing this, Guo Hanhong snorted coldly and said confidently:
"Hmph! Don't worry about this. Once the giant monster in the capital is captured, I will turn these fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in Baoshan City into powder immediately!"
