To enter a research institute as a temporary worker, you also need to go through layers of screening.
Zhang Erdan's background and experience can be described as clean and tidy.
He was born into a poor family in a small town. Before liberation, his father was a long-term worker raising chickens and ducks for landlords.
One year, the chickens and ducks in the small town suffered from inexplicable diseases and died suddenly. The chickens and ducks raised by his father were no exception.
This was a natural disaster, but the landowner believed that it was because his father did not take good care of it, which led to the death of all his chickens and ducks.
Perhaps in order to save some wages, or perhaps to vent his anger, the landlord brought a few minions and beat his father to death.
From then on, Zhang Erdan could only follow his mother and two brothers, living a life of hunger and satiety.
Fortunately, the residents in the town are generally kind-hearted, and they can only survive with a wotou for the east family and a bowl of porridge for the west family.
After liberation, the Zhang family was assigned fields, and life became easier.
Zhang Erdan was born innocent and had never left a small town in his life. How could he get involved with those bad guys? And he was willing to be a rat for those people?
"Comrade Donglai, you mean that Zhang Erdan is not the mastermind." After listening to Li Donglai's analysis, Captain Wang felt that this matter was difficult to handle.
"Captain Wang, as far as I know, Zhang Erdan doesn't know a single Chinese character. How could he know the formula of the medicine?"
Li Donglai stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "Although I still can't figure out what kind of medicine he gave Professor Liu Mingde, but according to the symptoms shown by Professor Liu, I can confirm that the formula of the medicine must be very complicated.
And the dosage of each ingredient is carefully prepared, which is not something a mountain man can do."
Hearing this, Captain Wang suddenly realized: "Yes, there must be someone behind Zhang Erdan. If we touch Zhang Erdan now, those people will be alarmed."
After figuring out his ideas, Captain Wang began to deploy his manpower and keep an eye on Zhang Erdan around the clock.
Li Donglai took advantage of this time to continue discussing the manufacturing technology of lead-acid batteries with Professor Liu Mingde, so that he could produce the battery as soon as possible after returning to the laboratory of the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill.
Days passed by, and just when Li Donglai was getting a little anxious and preparing to take Professor Liu Mingde back to the capital, news came from Captain Wang.
"Director Li, I think you will definitely be interested in this news." Captain Wang knocked on the door of Li Donglai's dormitory and said with a smile: "This afternoon, Wang Erdan suddenly asked for leave, claiming that his mother was sick and he wanted to go back to visit her.
.And the comrades we arranged around the Wang family reported back that Wang Erdan’s mother was not sick at all, and she even ate two fist-sized buns at noon today.”
"Wang Erdan finally couldn't bear it anymore." Li Donglai became more energetic.
To be honest, he really admired Bastard Erdan. This kid obviously had no professional training, but he was able to keep his composure without panicking at all. He really had some talent.
It's just that this talent was used in the wrong place.
Li Donglai also felt bored, so he proposed to go down the mountain with Captain Wang.
Captain Wang considered that Li Donglai's identity was relatively sensitive, and originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, he wanted to ask Li Donglai how to deal with it if things changed.
Besides, they left well-prepared this time, and brought so many security officers with them to definitely ensure Li Donglai's safety.
Worried about making too much noise, the group abandoned the jeep and rode bicycles instead.
Riding a bicycle down the mountain is a sport that tests both skill and physical strength.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, even a veteran guard like Captain Wang who had received special training had his butt almost split in half by the jolt.
Captain Wang was a little surprised when he saw Li Donglai jumping off his bicycle with a nonchalant look: "Comrade Donglai, you are in great shape!"
Good guy, these are all words of tiger and wolf...
Li Donglai chuckled and said: "Those who engage in research must have a good body to support the high-intensity work every day, so our research adopts a school system."
"School system?" Captain Wang asked curiously as he loaded the bullet and made preparations.
Li Donglai also took out the pistol from his waist, checked the bullets, and said with a smile: "Just like middle school students, researchers have to do morning exercises every morning, and they have to rest for ten minutes after every hour of work."
When he thought of a bunch of old professors with white hair doing exercises like middle school students, Captain Wang couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
But when he thought about it carefully, he found that this method was perfect for dealing with the nerds in the laboratory.
Maybe... after this mission is over, we can propose to the institute that the institute also implement a school system.
At this moment, a figure came running from a distance. Captain Wang quickly waved his hand and hid behind the big tree with the security officers.
When he saw the person clearly, Captain Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's the comrade I sent to monitor the Wang family."
When the comrade arrived at the agreed place, he did not see Captain Wang and was not in a hurry. He put his hands to his mouth and made a strange bird call.
"Xiaomeng, we are here."
Only then did Xiaomeng discover Captain Wang's hiding place, and ran over and saluted him: "Captain, now that bastard came out of the house and went out alone."
Ever since he sprinkled the medicinal powder into Professor Liu Mingde's lunch box as Zhou Xiaohong said, he has been in a state of anxiety.
Although Professor Liu Mingde suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, which seemed to have nothing to do with his medicinal powder, Wang Erdan knew that he had done something he shouldn't have done.
In the following days, Wang Erdan always felt that people at the institute had been secretly staring at him, and he would have nightmares even when he slept.
After being tortured for several days, Wang Erdan finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he lied about his mother being sick and sneaked down the mountain, hoping to meet Zhou Xiaohong and clarify the matter.
Zhou Xiaohong's family lives in Zhoujiazhuang, not far from the town, less than five miles away. It only took Wang Erdan less than half an hour to get there.
However, he did not dare to knock on Zhou's courtyard door. Instead, he climbed to a big tree outside the courtyard wall and looked into the courtyard.
It was Wang Erdan's good luck. At this time, Zhou Xiaohong was following Aunt Huang to dry herbs in the yard.
Wang Erdan was about to send out the pre-arranged signal, which attracted Zhou Xiaohong's attention. Huang Shan walked out of the house and handed a bottle of enamel herbal tea to Zhou Xiaohong.
"Xiao Hong, it's really hot today. Please go inside and have a rest. Let me help you."
Zhou Xiaohong glanced at Huangshan with an irritated look: "Brother Huangshan, how can the weather be so hot in this cold winter! You have been busy working on the mountain all day, and I am here."
With that said, she took the enamel jar and took a sip of tea, then handed it to Aunt Huang: "Auntie, you take a sip too."
Aunt Huang was as happy as if she had drunk honey. She happily took it and praised: "Our Xiaohong takes care of her parents-in-law and cares about her husband. She is such a good girl."
Mentioning this matter, Zhou Xiaohong's face looked a little ugly, and she whispered: "It's a pity that my health is not good. I don't know when this headache will be cured. I also want to marry Brother Huangshan as soon as possible...
.”
Huang Shan was moved by the sight and grabbed her hand and said: "Xiaohong, don't worry, I've been waiting for you. If it doesn't work for ten days, I will wait for ten days. If it doesn't work for a month, I will wait for a month. If it doesn't work for a year, I will wait for you."
I will wait for one year, and I, Huang Shanfei, will marry you, Zhou Xiaohong."
"I hate it, my mother is still watching from the side!" Zhou Xiaohong blushed and covered her mouth.
Huang Shan chuckled and scratched his head.
Bastard Erdan was on the big tree, and when he saw the scene in the yard, he was so angry that his teeth chattered.
Zhou Xiaohong, how dare you deceive me?
Wang Erdan met Zhou Xiaohong a year ago.
At that time, Wang Erdan had just entered the research institute and successfully received his first month's salary.
Although he was only the lowest-level helper, his salary was as high as fifteen yuan. The day Wang Erdan got the money, he specifically asked for a day off.
He wanted to go to a pastry shop in the town and buy a pound of pastries for his wife. This had been his long-cherished wish for many years, but he had no money before.
Wang Erdan still remembers that what he bought was walnut cake, and the boss comrade helped him wrap it in a brown paper bag.
Holding Wang Erdan in his hand, he buried his head and walked out. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhou Xiaohong who was about to follow him through the door.
Zhou Xiaohong, who was petite, was knocked to the ground. Wang Erdan's walnut pastry paper package was knocked open, and the walnut pastries were scattered all over the floor.
After Wang Erdan hesitated for 0.01 second, he chose to help Zhou Xiaohong up, and then picked up his walnut cake.
If Wang Erdan had left just like that, he might never have crossed paths with Zhou Xiaohong again in his life.
However, he looked at the broken peach cake on the ground and said with some distress: "This is what I just bought for my mother with this month's salary... You..."
Zhou Xiaohong's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. In a small town, the only government agencies are the town committee, a primary school... and the remaining shops will not use the term salary.
Unless...this person comes from the research institute on the mountain.
Zhou Xiaohong pretended to be injured at that time. While moaning in pain, she waved her hand to Wang Erdan, telling Wang Erdan to leave her alone and quickly send the walnut cake back.
Zhou Xiaohong was already pretty, but the look of her moaning in pain made people feel pity for her. Even the comrade owner of the pastry shop wanted to rush to help, not to mention Wang Erdan, a hot-blooded young man.
Wang Erdan clearly expressed his manly heroic spirit at that time, and then sent Zhou Xiaohong to a drug store not far away.
With the cooperation of the drug store owner, Zhou Xiaohong quickly figured out Wang Erdan's identity and became even more affectionate towards Wang Erdan.
Little did Wang Erdan know that he was being targeted, he thought he was really a great hero and developed a crush on the beautiful Zhou Xiaohong.
From then on, Wang Erdan would meet Zhou Xiaohong in front of the drug store every day off.
What excited him was that Zhou Xiaohong seemed to be very interested in his work.
Whenever he talks about his work at the institute, little stars will pop up in Zhou Xiaohong's eyes.
Wang Erdan became even more enthusiastic and told Zhou Xiaohong everything he saw and heard in the institute.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up, even to the point of holding hands.
Wang Erdan will never forget the feeling of holding Zhou Xiaohong's hand for the first time. That little hand was so smooth and warm.
At that time Wang Erdan made up his mind to protect Zhou Xiaohong for the rest of his life.
only.....
What made him depressed was that Zhou Xiaohong never told Wang Erdan her true identity, but only told Wang Erdan that she was Wang Erdan's snail girl.
Although Wang Erdan has never been to school, he still listens to the ladies around him talking about the snail girl.
When he was a child, he begged on the streets and once dreamed that when he woke up, there would be an extra snail girl in the family, and he would no longer have to worry about making a living.
Now that this dream has finally come true, Wang Erdan cherishes Zhou Xiaohong even more and is more curious about Zhou Xiaohong's origins.
I have asked Zhou Xiaohong about her origins several times, but she always felt depressed.
Bastard Erdan had no choice but to give up.
Who would have thought that one day, Zhou Xiaohonglihua told Wang Erdan with tears in her eyes that she was getting married and could no longer see Wang Erdan.
Bastard Erdan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his head buzzing.
Under his repeated questioning, Zhou Xiaohong finally told him the ‘truth’.
It turned out that Zhou Xiaohong was the child bride of the Huang family. The Huang family raised her just to marry her to Huang Shan, the Huang family's son.
But Zhou Xiaohong doesn't like Huangshan at all and just wants to be with Wang Erdan.
The Huang family made a condition that if Zhou Xiaohong left the Huang family, he would need to compensate the Huang family 500 yuan.
How could Zhou Xiaohong have so much money, so she accepted her fate.
Of course, Bastard Erdan couldn't allow his snail girl to be snatched away by Huangshan, so he rushed to the door of Huang's house and made a fuss.
Huangshan happened to be returning from hunting in the mountains. A strange man kept saying that he wanted to take his fiancée away. At that time, he became furious, rushed up and beat the bastard Erdan without any explanation.
Because Wang Erdan's living conditions were relatively poor when he was a child, he was relatively thin. He was no match for Huangshan, who hunted in the mountains all year round.
He was beaten to a pulp at that time.
But to Wang Erdan's relief, Zhou Xiaohong rushed out of the house and tried her best to stop the rude man.
Wang Erdan was determined to take Zhou Xiaohong away from the Huang family.
but.
He couldn't beat him again and again.
I don't have that much money.
At this time, Zhou Xiaohong gave him an idea. Someone was interested in where he worked. As long as he sprinkled a special medicinal powder into those people's lunch boxes, he could get one hundred yuan.
If you do it five times, you can get five hundred yuan.
This sounds a bit fanciful, but the institute itself has a mysterious atmosphere, and it is normal to have some mysterious opponents.
Wang Erdan, who was already fascinated by Zhou Xiaohong, agreed without much hesitation.
Moreover, Zhou Xiaohong also guaranteed that as long as a fixed amount of medicinal powder is spilled into a specific person's lunch box, that person will suffer a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
When the time comes, he will be so unaware that no one will notice him.
