Comfortable life in Siheyuan

The next day, several people from the technical department worked together to improve the design drawings, and used the factory's equipment to make two metal sensors.

One large one, one handheld.

Both instruments were taken away by the factory director.

Section Chief Qin also went there at the same time. This time Liu Qingshan did not go and stayed in the factory to discuss the matter with his colleagues.

When he arrived at the department, Director Yang happily reported these two things.

"Minister, this big door-like thing can effectively detect metal. If it is placed at the entrance of our factory, we can check whether the employees are carrying any smuggled goods without having to search them.

The smaller one has the same function as this one, it uses a battery, and when you hold it in your hand and put it close to your body, it can sense where there is metal."

A group of people looked at these two things in curiosity.

The department leader looked at it for a while and said, "This thing can be placed in many important places and can detect most dangers. It is especially needed in places like stations and airports."

"Yes, leader, so I brought them all here as soon as possible." Director Yang said happily.

"Is this made by your factory itself?" asked the minister.

"The plan was proposed by our factory engineer Liu Qingshan and completed by the entire technical department." Section Chief Qin stepped forward and reported.

"Leave these two things here for now, and we will study them further. If the quantity needed is large, we can expand the factory to produce them then."

"Yes, Minister." Director Yang still maintained his military habits.

"The department has commended your technical department. You should keep up the good work and produce more good things like this."

"Yes." Section Chief Qin replied happily.

The two men left their things and returned to the factory.

As soon as the work started in the afternoon, Director Yang and Section Chief Qin came to the technical department.

"Comrades, the factory director has brought back good news today. Please allow the director to announce it to everyone. Welcome everyone." Section Chief Qin smiled and applauded first.

"Okay, I'll be frank. This time everyone in the technical department will be rewarded 10 yuan each, and a pound of pork. This is the factory's reward to you, and the department is commending our entire technical department." Director Yang said happily.

Suddenly, there was warm applause in the technical department.

"Look, Lao Qin, the applause now is much louder than before." Director Yang said jokingly.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay. I was just kidding you. Our superiors intend to allocate a part of the land in our factory to build a new factory to produce metal sensors. The specific situation has not been determined yet. If it is confirmed, I will notify you." Director Yang said.

After saying this, Director Yang looked at Liu Qingshan again and said, "Xiao Liu, work hard and put forward any ideas you have. I fully support you. This is the engineer you just promoted. It's not easy to move up any further. If the factory expands its recruitment, I will give you a few places." The director said this clearly.

"Thank you, Director. I will work hard and try to make more contributions." Liu Qingshan promised seriously.

Several people in the office looked at Liu Qingshan with envy.

But everyone is happy because they all get the same benefits.

I went to the canteen to collect the pork I got as a bonus at the end of the day. I haven't received the bonus yet, it will be paid out with this month's salary.

By the time we got off work, the good news had been broadcasted on the radio, and the notice board at the door also announced that the rolling mill's technical department had been commended.

Liu Qingshan went home happily carrying a pound of pork.

As soon as I returned to the compound, the third uncle was guarding the door.

I really don't know how Yan Bugui is able to be the first one at the door after get off work every day. As a teacher, it is normal for him to arrive home earlier than him every day. Although teachers do not have to stay in the classroom when there are no classes, it is definitely difficult for someone who leaves early every day to make progress.

"Qingshan, is this the meat you just bought? Is there some happy event? Uncle San has a bottle of good wine. I'll come to your place tonight to celebrate with you." They started celebrating without even knowing what was going on.

Yan Bugui's perseverance is truly remarkable. He still welcomes people with a smile even after being rejected so many times.

"Uncle, this meat is for my wife to nourish her body. I can't bear to eat it. You, don't even think about it." She said without paying any attention to him.

After entering the central courtyard, the Jia family members looked at the piece of meat in Liu Qingshan's hand with their eyes almost sparkling with excitement.

"Qingshan is back, wow, and he brought back such a big piece of meat, he is really capable. Can I exchange some with you for the fine grain coupons?" Aunt Jia said kindly with a smile on her face.

"No need, Aunt Jia, there are so many people at home, this is not enough to eat!"

He responded with his mouth but didn't stop walking.

In fact, he regretted not going through the small gate. There were no convenient bags these days, and it was too conspicuous to carry meat in his hands. Along the way, he was really afraid that someone would act impulsively.

The two boys from the second uncle's family sat at the door and watched, drooling at the meat.

It happened that the second uncle came back, and seeing the disappointing look of his two sons, he beat them again.

Liu Qingshan felt guilty.

"Wife, look what I brought back." Liu Qingshan said with some pride.

"Hey, where did the meat come from? Aren't all your tickets with me?" Feng Yu asked curiously.

"This is the reward the factory gave me today. Everyone in our department got one kilogram." Liu Qingshan said slowly.

Liu Qingshan then explained the reason again.

"Qingshan, our family's life is getting better and better. Let's have more children in the future." Feng Yu's twisting movements almost sprained Liu Qingshan's waist.

In the evening, Liu Qingshan's mother cooked some meat and pickled the rest.

Seeing his mother pickling meat, Liu Qingshan said, "Mom, do you have any big vats at home? We have so many vegetables at home, get some salt water and pickle some of them. When the weather gets cold, we can change the taste."

In the winter in the north, there are only a few kinds of vegetables: potatoes, cabbages, and radishes. There is nothing fancy.

It’s really hard to eat all winter.

"Okay, you show me how to do it. I can only pickle some vegetables." Aunt Liu had no experience in this area and was a little unconfident.

"I'll go ask Brother Zhuzi when I have time. He's a great chef, so these things shouldn't be difficult for him."

As he spoke, Liu Qingshan fell into fantasy, thinking about enriching his dining table in the future, and laughed out loud with joy.

"Why are you grinning like that? You're so happy just for pickling some vegetables!" Feng Yu said.

"That's right. From now on, we won't be short of food." Liu Qingshan said.

Feng Yu feels helpless about this husband who is sometimes very mature and sometimes seems immature.

The two of them cleaned the house and put the child to bed early.

All signs indicate that tonight will be another night of thunder and rain.
