"General Chen, what are you father and son talking about, so happy."

At this time, Han Mantang chased after him from behind.

"Old Han, aren't you chatting with Old Liu in the back?"

"General Chen, don't be so angry with me, what Han Lao, that's just a false name given by others, you can call me Brother Han directly, or full of cousins, forget about this Han Lao."

Han Mantang is sixty-seven years old this year and looks very old, but the other party doesn't want to call him Han Lao, so Chen Zhiqiang directly recognizes this big brother who is nearly twenty years older than him.

"Brother Han."

"Okay, there's Liu Chuan in the back, it's too noisy, don't mind if I disturb your father and son to whisper."

Liu Xing laughed dumbly when he heard Han Mantang's evaluation of Liu Chuan, this Liu Fax has the potential of an old naughty boy.

"Don't mind, it just so happened that I was talking to Liu Xing about the Huaxia Think Tank, and you are half an expert in this area."

"Huaxia Think Tank!"

Han Mantang was a little surprised, but he was relieved when he thought of Liu Xing's talent.

"Yes, Huaxia Think Tank, I'm in the army, and I don't know much about the situation of think tanks."

"I know a little bit about this, since Liu Xing is interested, within the scope of permission, I can briefly introduce it."

"Then thank you, Uncle Han."

Liu Xing is very good at being a man, Chen Zhiqiang recognized his eldest brother, he directly called him uncle, fortunately, Han Mantang's grandson is not there, otherwise he will definitely be in a bad mood.

"You call me uncle, we are a family, don't say thank you in the future, make more contributions to the country, uncle is here to thank you."

Han Mantang directly bowed to Liu Xing, which irritated Liu Xing, and he hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Uncle, don't be like this, I am also a citizen of China, and it is my duty to serve the country."

Liu Xing's eyes were quick, and Han Mantang was intercepted before he lowered his head.

"Liu Xing, you don't understand."

Yes, Liu Xing really didn't understand, but he saw Han Mantang's eyes dim when he finished saying this.

Han Mantang has lived with his brother who is two years older than him since he was a child, he has never seen his parents, and he has never heard his brother mention that in the year when Han Mantang was twelve years old, there was a severe drought in his hometown, and the rain did not fall for half a year, the heavens and the earth cracked, and the grain planted in the ground was naturally not harvested.

Due to some difficult reasons, the country does not have too much grain reserves, and it is simply unable to rescue all the people covered by the drought.

When the grain was exhausted, people began to look everywhere for food, but the drought was severe, and the people who were primates did not eat, and the rest of the animals and plants were naturally not much better.

In the second month of the drought, the old man next door to Han Mantang died of starvation in his bed.

When Han Mantang saw the old man, there were still some broken sawdust on the side of the old man's mouth, obviously the old man didn't want to die, and he wanted to use wood to satisfy his hunger before he died, whether the old man was starved to death or stuck to death by sawdust, no one cared, because there were too many people who died at that time, so many that it made people numb.

Everything that can be eaten within a hundred miles radius has been eaten by hungry people, Han Mantang is young, he can only lie on the bed by drinking water, looking at the beam of the house waiting for the arrival of black and white impermanence, his brother disappeared for a while, he was in a trance I don't know how long it was, but he didn't die, he was still panting.

Until that night, my brother came back with a piece of sweet potato.

Seeing the sweet potato, Han Mantang suddenly had a trace of strength, directly chewed the raw sweet potato a few times, swallowed it into his stomach, and then he fell into a coma again, and when he woke up again, his brother was not there, and he ate a third of the sweet potato was still beside him, and Han Mantang miraculously supported the arrival of the rescue by relying on the remaining sweet potatoes.

However, when he was carried out of the room, Han Mantang saw his brother sitting in the firewood room, but he was no longer silent, and at that moment Han Mantang felt that his sky had fallen.

Hungry, this word is almost all the memories of Han Mantang's youth, no matter how many achievements Han Mantang has, the figure of delivering sweet potatoes will always appear at midnight.

"Brother, no matter where you are reincarnated, I will not let you starve."

I believe that Han Mantang, who has reincarnation, will definitely be reincarnated by his brother, so since he was a teenager, he has been working hard to study agricultural production technology and is even a little enchanted.

This is also the reason why Han Mantang is in his sixties and still insists on being on the front line, and rushes to the front line when he learns that Liu Xing's improvement plan is correct.

May there be no hunger in the world, for the sake of the eldest brother, and for everyone.

"Uncle Han, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that I thought of some of the past, let's talk about the think tank."

"Okay."

"The Huaxia Think Tank is a talent pool, and all the people in it are the elites of China, so the state gives this group of people some privileges and even protections, but it is not easy to enter this talent pool, and it is necessary to make an outstanding contribution or have extraordinary abilities."

"Uncle Han, what does this outstanding contribution mean?"

"It's not easy to say, for example, the crop improvement program you gave me can be regarded as an outstanding contribution, but now the state doesn't pay much attention to food production, so it's hard to say whether you can rely on the improvement program to enter the think tank."

Han Mantang smiled a little embarrassedly, now the country attaches importance to the development of high and new technology, and the attention to the traditional industry of planting is somewhat insufficient, and it has not been many years to absorb agricultural talents into the think tank.

"Liu Xing, weapons are the guarantee of national security, if you can make some progress in the field of weapons development, it will not be difficult to enter the think tank!"

"Brother Chen is right!"

Han Mantang was on the sidelines to help, he didn't think that Liu Xing could have the ability to develop new weapons, but since Liu Xing wanted to enter the think tank, he Han Mantang would be satisfied with everything, even if he asked for a place with an old face.

"Liu Xing, you don't have to worry, do your research hard, this think tank will be able to enter sooner or later."

Hearing Han Mantang's comfort, Liu Xing was a little amused, he was not worried, but thinking about what to use to knock on the door of the think tank, whether it was an epoch-making assault rifle, or a super powerful engine, or a new synthetic metal.

Chatting, Liu Xing and the others arrived at the destination, Zhao Yun had already booked the location of the box in front, and Liu Xing and the others entered the box after meeting Liu Tianfeng and Liu Chuan.

Dinner was still relatively quiet, no one mentioned the matter of letting Liu Xing transfer to another school, most of the content of the chat focused on current affairs, Liu Xing didn't want to express too many opinions on these, so he chose to be a quiet beautiful man, only eat and not talk, saying that the fish in this house are really good.
