Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After work, Liu Qingshan didn't wait for his father and rode his bike directly to the Di'anmen Post Office.

After waiting for a while, Feng Yu, wearing a work uniform and carrying a small bag on his shoulder, walked out of the office gate with a few people.

"Xiaoyu, here!" Liu Qingshan shouted loudly.

"Xiaoyu, this is your date, he's pretty good looking."

"Yeah, there are bicycles too!"

"Yes, it's my boyfriend. I'm leaving now! Bye!"

Feng Yu hurriedly ran a few steps: "When did you come here? How long have you been waiting?"

"I just got off work and arrived. Come on, get in the car, I'll take you home." I cheated my dad. I let him walk home by himself.

Feng Yu sat quietly in the back seat of the car, holding the seat with both hands.

Liu Qingshan didn't dare to ride too fast.

"I've discussed it when I got back. Our two families will have dinner together this weekend and go directly to my new house. I'll pick you up then. What do you think?" Liu Qingshan asked.

"I'll go back and tell my parents. Do you want to come to my house and talk to them yourself?" Feng Yu laughed after he said that.

"I'll just take you to the door. I have to go back soon." Liu Qingshan said quickly.

Feng Yu hid behind and laughed, his hands unconsciously grabbing Qingshan's waist.

After sending Feng Yu home, Liu Qingshan returned to the courtyard.

"Uncle, you come back early every day! It's not good to leave early."

"What are you talking about? I just came back because I don't have classes."

Qin Huairu in the middle courtyard was still washing clothes by the pool. Xu Damao was still chatting with her not far away. But Yi Zhonghai was obviously not in good spirits. Looking closely, he looked a few years older. Alas, it was all his own fault.

"Brother Damao, why are you sitting here for no reason?"

"I just got home not long ago. I came here to wash my face. It's too hot today." He said with a wry smile.

Liu Qingshan didn't say anything and just went home.

"Qin Huairu, what happened at noon today? Why are you still cheating me out of five dollars?"

"I bought you steamed buns at noon, what's wrong with you?"

"If you miss, just make more noise."

Just then, Sha Zhu walked in, glanced at the two of them, and went straight home.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's back with complicated eyes.

"Don't think about it. The stupid man is married. He won't help your family anymore."

"Get out!" Qin Huairu's face suddenly darkened.

"Qin Huairu, remember, you owe me five dollars!"

After saying that, he went back to the backyard.

...

Sha Zhu went home, thought about what happened today, and drank a sip of water with a depressed heart.

Tian Xiuyun noticed that something was wrong with Sha Zhu and asked quickly, "Zhu Zi, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Sha Zhu didn't want to say anything. After all, he felt it was inappropriate to talk about people behind their backs.

"I can't tell if you're okay or not. We sleep in the same bed together, and I don't know you well enough."

"This afternoon..." Sha Zhu couldn't hold back and told his wife.

"You, just ignore them in the future. We can't afford to offend people like them. What would you do if you went there and they put the blame on you?" Tian Xiuyun said with a worried look on her face.

"Yes, let's close the door and live our own lives. We don't care about anything else."

...

"Qingshan, have you told Xiaoyu?"

"Mom, I told you."

"Okay, I'll prepare some wedding supplies for you in the next few days. You don't even have a kettle in your house, so you have to buy all the things in the cupboard.

Mom will give you some money and cloth coupons. You can take Xiaoyu to order some clothes when you have time. You can look around and see if you want to buy anything else."

"Okay, I see."

When I returned to my own courtyard, I thought about what kind of clothes to make for Xiaoyu. After thinking for a while, I suddenly thought of something.

He got up to get his briefcase, took out a pen and paper, and started writing and drawing on the table. After a while, he had drawn a pattern for a piece of clothing. Double-breasted, with a large collar and a belt. It was very eye-catching in this era. Fortunately, he had a good foundation in drawing.

...

The next day at work, he went to the warehouse with his briefcase. After disassembling and analyzing the lathe, he had figured it out. He took out some parts drawings, went to a workshop, and went directly to the workshop director.

"Director Li, I have a few parts and I'd like you to help me with them." Liu Qingshan said straight to the point.

"Oh! Technician Liu, let me see, is just one of these enough? What are they used for?"

"I have dismantled the scrapped lathe in the warehouse recently. These thirteen parts are broken. You can have someone make them. Then lend me a few people and help me assemble it to see if we can revive it." Liu Qingshan said happily!

"How come there's no leak at all about such a big thing? Great, you're a man who can handle big things."

After saying that, Director Li took several drawings to the workers and said, "You need to make these parts with high standards." Lao Yi took a few more difficult ones.

Yi Zhonghai's craftsmanship is indeed top-notch in this workshop.

I drank some tea in the director's office for about half an hour, and then the worker came over and said that the parts were ready.

"Okay. Let's go and take a look together."

"Okay." Liu Qingshan also stood up and followed Director Li out of the office.

Liu Qingshan saw the parts and carefully measured them with a vernier caliper. Then he nodded to the director and said, "Director, your workshop has so many people, there is no error at all."

Director Li said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you. Let's go over and give it a try now."

"Okay, let's go there now!"

"Come here, some young and strong men, bring all the parts. Come with me. Team leader Guo, I have something to do and I have to go out for a while. You can take charge of the workshop production here."

"Okay, Director."

Director Li named three people and went to the warehouse with him.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Liu Qingshan arranged for several people to assemble the equipment together.

Liu Qingshan directed the three people to work for most of the day and did not even go to the cafeteria for lunch. It was Director Li who arranged for someone to call back. Now it was finally assembled.

"Qingshan, why don't we give it a try!"

“Then we must try.”

As he spoke, Liu Qingshan turned on the power and started the machine.

Listening to the sound of the machine, everyone knew that the machine was working properly. However, it was still unknown whether it could be used or not.

"Xiao Cai, go and try to process a part and see what the error is. Go to the workshop to get the stuff and call more people over."

"Yes, Director." After saying that, Xiao Cai ran out quickly.

Soon, about ten people came, wearing spare parts and calipers.

Xiao Cai picked up the parts and started processing them. After a while, the master finished the processing.

Director Li picked up the caliper and started measuring.

"Large diameter..., parts are qualified."

Suddenly, applause broke out in the warehouse.

"Come on, Brother Qingshan, let's go and report to the factory leader now."

After saying that, she took him and left.

Director Li waved back as he walked away. The workers in the warehouse quickly dragged the lathe back to the first workshop. They were so fast even with such heavy equipment. They were all talented.

Director Li took Liu Qingshan to the technical department first, talked to Section Chief Qin about the matter, and then the three of them went to the factory director's office together.

"Director, Liu Qingshan did another big thing today. He repaired the scrapped lathe in the warehouse and it can now work normally." Director Li immediately reported the situation.

"Recently, Qingshan has drawn a lot of drawings, and now he has basically mastered the lathe," Section Chief Qin added.

"Qingshan, you are great. Come on, let's go and take a look at this lathe together." After saying that, he called several cadres in the office and walked towards the warehouse together.

"Well, don't go to the warehouse. The lathe should have been pulled back by the workers in our workshop." After saying this, he looked at the leaders present with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Big Li, you are still quicker!" the factory manager teased.

A few people chatted and laughed and walked towards a workshop.

A workshop director hurriedly ran back to the workshop and arranged for someone to clean up.

Everyone walked into a workshop together.

As soon as I entered the workshop, my attention was attracted by the lathe that had not yet been positioned.

"Director, look, these parts can still be seen. They are newly processed and are still glowing." Section Chief Qin said, pointing to several newly replaced parts.

"Come here, some people, push the machine to the empty workstation at the back!" the director called out.

After a while, the lathe was in place.

"Director, can we start?"

"Come on, Master He, you come and process a workpiece." said the workshop director.

Just then, the directors of several other workshops came in. The leaders were all there, and they were all watching from the side.

Master He finished the process in just a short while.

"Director, this workpiece is completely qualified. Do you want to take a look?"

"Let me take a look." The factory manager picked up the caliper and started measuring himself.

"Good, good, very good, Liu Qingshan, you have helped a lot. The factory has a heavy production task, and having one more lathe can play a very important role." The factory director praised happily.

"Comrade Liu Qingshan, all the factory leaders are here today to do a job on the spot. The factory wants to reward you for repairing the lathe. What do you think, Secretary Guo?" The factory director asked Secretary Guo.

"As it should be, such good deeds must be rewarded."

"Okay, on behalf of the factory, I'll reward you 10 yuan and two kilograms of pork. I hope you'll keep working hard to repair more scrapped equipment. I have a lot of rewards, you can take them all if you're capable."

"Thank you, Director. I will do my best." Liu Qingshan said happily!

After a while, everyone dispersed.

Director Li Huaide said to Liu Qingshan, "Go to the logistics department tomorrow to get my reward." He smiled at him and left.
