♂?，，

  "Old Xu, are you home? I'm here again!"

  Old Sun hadn't even arrived at the waste collection station, but his loud voice was already booming, his presence announced before he even arrived, this was his unique trademark.

  Just as Lao Sun was walking to the gate of the courtyard, he ran into several unfamiliar faces coming out from inside the courtyard.

  Lao Sun's eyes were slightly closed, and a hint of spirit flashed in his eyes. From the gestures and movements of these people, he saw too much hidden information.

  When they passed each other, Old Sun and the person walking in the middle exchanged a glance, both of them couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise, nodded to each other secretly, as if greeting each other. However, their feet didn't stop, continuing on their separate ways.

  Old Sun suddenly remembered that he had seen a small sedan with a military license plate on the side of the road, and his heart suddenly became clear.

  "When did Old Xu get in touch with the roughnecks in the army?" He muttered to himself in some surprise, "No. Although these people have a whiff of that special army smell about them, there's something different, an extra hint of the literati's sour smell. Ah, it's that same sour smell that Old Xu has."

  Old Sun nodded to himself, then continued walking towards the courtyard. Just in time to see Old Xu lying on a recliner, eyes closed, basking in the sun. Next to him was placed a chair.

  Lao Sun sat down on the chair with a thud and got straight to the point, asking directly:

  "Are those people from the troops?"

  Old Xu just nodded and didn't say anything.

  "This old fox, knowing him for so many years, yet never heard of this relationship." Old Sun scolded with a dissatisfied smile, "My affairs are known clearly."

  "It's not that complicated, I only met him once twenty years ago." Old Xu opened his eyes and glanced at his old friend, "They're just things I'm studying now, I'm very interested in them."

  "What's being studied now? Is it just this broken iron wire mesh?"

  "What's this broken iron wire?" Old Xu was displeased, he sat up from the recliner, "I'm telling you, this is a phased array radar antenna, currently there are only a few people in the country studying this area, and I am one of them." As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb to indicate.

  "What's the point of this?" Old Sun scratched his earwax with his finger, "Who would bother doing something like this with this broken iron wire? Of course, there are fewer people studying it."

  Old Xu glared at him with a bad temper: "I have nothing in common with you."

  "Hehe......"

  Seeing his old friend being blown away by himself, Lao Sun was delighted and smiled, occasionally teasing his old friends was one of his important hobbies in his daily life.

  After the joke was over, Old Sun also became serious.

  "Since they want you to come out of retirement, did you agree?"

  Old Xu lay down again, gazing leisurely at the blue sky and white clouds, saying: "Still considering it, having gotten used to living here, I'm a bit reluctant to leave!"

  "Cut the crap!" Old Sun said with a face full of disdain. "Don't I understand? From the first day I arrived here, I never planned to stay for long. To be blunt, I don't have any feelings for this place at all. Otherwise, why bother messing around with that broken net every day? Isn't it just to make use of my remaining energy and let my research results be useful?"

  Old Xu remained silent.

  "In the past, it was not ripe for conditions, and even wanting to make a comeback didn't work out. Now it's fine, the educated youth have long since returned to the city, and it's time for us banished scientists to take our turn. Fortunately, I'm still not stupid, unlike others who rush over with a fart as soon as they hear a call from above."

  Lao Sun had lived for many years and was indeed getting more astute with age. He could see through things more clearly than anyone else. He was very enthusiastic about offering advice to his old friend:

  "Just wait patiently, if this broken iron wire is as powerful as they say, it will naturally come to the door again. Don't learn from Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage, don't bother with them, and let them go crazy on their own."

  Old Xu closed his eyes and did not comment on his friend's words, but instead said calmly: "No rush, no rush."

  Just as they were talking, Old Sun suddenly heard that someone else had arrived. He looked up to see his apprentice Lin Hong being dragged along by his father, who was pinching his ear.

  What was most striking was that Lin Hong was now bare-armed, with several rattan rods strapped to his back, tied at both ends with hemp rope and secured around his waist.

  Old Sun was delighted: "What's this tune again?"

  "Is Old Sun here too?" Lin Changming first greeted Old Sun, then said to Old Xu, "Old Xu, I've brought Little Hong to apologize to you."

  "Are you begging for punishment?" Old Sun also stood up at this moment, and for a while did not understand Lin Changming's meaning.

  "Cough, cough..." Old Sun coughed a few times and laughed, "I'm telling you, Changming, do you understand what it means to 'carry thorns and plead for punishment'? Do you know what 'thorns' mean? They're the thorny vines, in ancient times when people pleaded guilty, they'd tie these thorny vines around their bodies, the thorns would pierce into their flesh, blood flowing out, only then would it show sincerity..."

  "Uh......this......" Lin Changming was made to feel very embarrassed by this.

  Lin Hong heard this and wished he could kick his master's face, which was smiling like a chrysanthemum.

  "It's done."

  Old Xu's serious expression interrupted his teasing.

  "Changming, tell me what's going on? What mistake did Xiaohong make?"

  Lin Changming then had a way out and handed over the wooden box in his hand to Old Xu.

  "Xu Lao, return this radio. I'm really sorry, he's so good to you and yet you still take his things. It's all my fault for not teaching my son well, when I get back home today, I won't let him off easily!"

  In the end, Lin Changming's anger also rose, and he shouted at Lin Hongda:

  "Little rabbit, kneel down and apologize at once!"

  Lin Hong said with his neck raised: "I won't kneel down, I'm not wrong!"

  "Are you trying to drive me mad?" Lin Changming's fiery temper was like a barrel of gunpowder, ready to ignite at any moment. Seeing his son dare to defy him in front of Sun Lao and Xu Lao, he suddenly became furious and directly kicked his son's knee with his leg.

  "Boom!"

  "Ouch!"

  After a dull thud, it was Lin Changming who let out a loud cry himself.

  It turned out that just as his foot was about to kick his son's knee, Old Sun's foot had already waited halfway and kicked him directly on the heel, making him stumble backward for several steps, and his sole was numb for a long time before regaining consciousness.

  "Xiao Changming, I say this temper is even more violent than mine when I was old. Not good, not good." Old Sun shook his head casually.

  Old Xu hastily interjected: "Right, Changming, don't get angry first, let's figure out what's going on before we talk. And another thing..."

  As he spoke, Old Xu opened the wooden box in his hand, and when he saw the structure inside, he even forgot to speak, with a look of surprise written all over his face.

  "Is... this a crystal radio?"
