15. Family

Ling Wencha returned to his home in the living quarters of the naval base.

After returning from the Guam base, he returned to the Qinzhou Naval Base, where he was in charge of the renovation of two "Green Ridge-class" battle cruisers, so he never moved.

For a middle-ranking officer like him, the dwellings in the base were generally two-storey buildings with eight families in a row, and there was also a small independent courtyard, so it was impossible to live in a separate villa like those generals.

This is also one of the main motivations for him to look forward to climbing up the ranks of generals for so many years.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard his wife singing in the kitchen and preparing dinner for them.

Ling Wencha changed into slippers in the corridor and was about to enter the living room, but saw his wife poking her head out of the kitchen, looking at him with love and warmth in her eyes: "Wencha, Li Changzhou said that he was coming over in a while, and he called just now." An Jiaqi was wearing a long cyan dress, with black curly hair draped over her shoulders, "Please wait a while, I still have to cook two dishes for you, pork and cabbage gnocchi and fried duck, okay?" ”

"Oh, he called me, I asked him to come to the house." Ling Wencha walked to the wine cabinet and poured himself half a glass of red wine, "There is a lot of noise in the shipyard, and some things are not convenient to talk about in detail. ”

"Nothing secret, right?" An Jiaqi said with a smile.

"Ah, nothing. It's just that he has something to do with business. Ling Wencha took a sip of wine, and then said to his wife, "Do you want to come some too?" ”

"No, I'll have to cook for you first, or Mr. Trapp will complain that we didn't treat him well." An Jiaqi winked at him, "I heard that he was your boss when he was in the naval torpedo boat unit in Dengzhou?" ”

Ling Wencha raised his head, nodded, and rubbed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes with his hand: "Oh, by the way, a report I wrote last night, did you see it?" ”

"Well, you left a file bag on the couch when you left, and I put it back on my desk." An Jiaqi said: "You really look a little old, and you are starting to lose everything." She grinned at him, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

Ling Wencha came to the study with a wine glass, and saw the brown paper file bag on the desk, so he took out the report he had typed last night from it, sat on the chair and checked it carefully.

According to the test report, the twin-mounted 37-mm anti-aircraft guns currently equipped on warships do not have sufficient rate of fire and insufficient firepower density, and it is necessary to develop artillery with a better rate of fire to maintain sufficient short-range anti-aircraft fire density. He suddenly remembered that some time ago he had read in a report that the Northern Arms Company had cooperated with the Xi'an Weapons Company to develop a new type of army towed 40-mm antiaircraft gun, which had excellent performance and had already been handed over to the army armament department for testing.

Why can't the Navy test it?

Thinking of this, Ling Wencha took out a pencil and added a few more sentences at the end of the report.

He returned to the living room and saw An Jiaqi holding a pot of boiled cheese on the table with a fruit salad, "Ah, yes, Kaiyu said that he was going to the Star Harbor base. ”

"Well, what is he doing in Starport? He's only been back for a few days. Ling Wencha frowned.

"Didn't he say a while ago that half of their graduates would be assigned to the Indian Ocean Fleet, why don't you remember, look at you now, you don't care about your son's future at all." An Jiaqi complained to him, and at this time, there was a bang at the courtyard gate, and there was a sound of jumping walking in the courtyard, undoubtedly their eldest son Ling Kaiyu was back.

It seemed that a backpack was thrown in the hallway, and then Ling Kaiyu walked in through the door of the living room, wearing a light blue tracksuit, probably just finished playing football outside, his tanned and thin face was radiant, his hair was unkempt, and he had a cigarette in his mouth.

"Hey, Dad, we'll be new colleagues in the future, let's get to know each other again." Ling Kaiyu walked over with a smile on his face and greeted Ling Wencha.

"Uh-huh, when did you learn to smoke?" Ling Wencha glared at his son.

"Hey, don't be so serious, Mom said that you also smoked and drank when she knew you, and you looked very handsome at that time." Ling Kaiyu spit out a smoke ring indifferently, "Every time we go to sea for training, it's a month or two, if we don't know how to smoke, we won't be stuffed with anything." ”

Ling Wencha was choked speechless, so he had to move on to another topic, "Why do you want to go to the Starport base?" ”

"Oh, I've been assigned to the Indian Ocean Fleet, the list was just announced today, and my name is in it." Ling Kaiyu rubbed his already unkempt hair indifferently, "The only bad thing is that I heard that the climate there is very hot and humid. ”

"Where's the assignment?" Ling Wencha was a little worried about his son, he had seen the summer in the equatorial area, and the Imperial Navy often went to the hotter equatorial waters to carry out tropical sea adaptation training on hot days, and the temperature in the cabin of the warship was as high as more than 50 degrees, especially the work below deck was a particularly hard job.

"No, you have to go to the destroyer to get training first, and if you're lucky, you might be able to work on the battleship that's being built there." Ling Kaiyu looked indifferent, the officers of the navy all survived step by step, first patrol boats or torpedo boats, then destroyers, cruisers, and finally battleships, of course, this is a lucky situation. Serving on a combat ship is easier to get a promotion, and if you are transferred to an auxiliary ship, the time for promotion is much slower.

In addition, he also wanted to warn Ling Kaiyu to try his best to have a good relationship with his colleagues, but after thinking about it, this was basically a waste of lips and tongue, so he just opened his mouth and didn't speak again.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

An Jiaqi turned around and looked at Ling Kaiyu, "Kaiyu, go open the door, it should be your Uncle Li Changzhou who is here, the one who is in the torpedo manufacturing company, do you remember?" ”

"Hey, sure, I was in the same grade as their second child when I was in middle school, but that guy was a submarine major." Ling Kaiyu ran out as he spoke. The courtyard door opened, and I saw Li Changzhou walking in from outside the door.

"Hi, hello Uncle Li." Ling Kaiyu greeted him.

"Hmm...... This is Kaiyu, and to be honest, you haven't seen it since you entered the Naval Academy. Oh my God, they've all become big boys. Is Carrey there? I have the deepest impression of him, he is the smartest child in the Ling family, much better than your father. Li Changzhou walked into the room, still not forgetting Ling Wencha's two words.

"Of course, Kerry has been a treasure in his mother's mind since he was a child, and he is now attending college in Jianghan to study physics." Ling Kaiyu said a little sourly, "I'm not interested in that thing, since I was a child, I felt a headache when I came across math and physics and other things." ”

"Haha, you are the same as my family Zhihao, for this reason, I have beaten him since I was a child." Li Changzhou smiled and entered the living room. He was wearing a black dress, which he hadn't seen for most of the year, and his body was obviously a little blessed.

"Ah, you talk to Dad first, I still have some things, I'll come back again." Ling Kaiyu said, and then prepared to go out.

"Why are you going, it's time to eat." I only heard An Jiaqi say in the corridor.

"Mom, I'll be back in a while, this time I'll get something for someone else and keep some for me." As Ling Kaiyu spoke, he ran out directly......
