Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Chapter 197 The Plot in the Courtyard

Sure enough, for more than a week, after finishing her housework, the aunt took a pair of soles to the intelligence center in the yard - under the big locust tree, where she chatted while sewing soles and deliberately led the topic to Qin Jingru, which allowed her to find out a lot of information. Once, she even deliberately brought clothes to wash with Qin Jingru, which allowed her to get a lot of information out of her.

Li Cuilian also felt that Qin Jingru was relatively honest and had a good temper. After returning home, she told her son about the situation, and Liu Guangfu was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high.

"Why are you so happy? Your father has to come back and make the decision on this matter. My own opinion doesn't count! That Qin Huairu seems to be intending to introduce her to Sha Zhu."

"How can that be possible? That idiot is several years older than Qin Jingru and he is still entangled with Qin Huairu. How can he be worthy of Jingru?"

Liu Guangfu was quite thick-skinned. He would often stroll around the central courtyard when Qin Jingru was washing clothes. He would go up to her and talk to her whenever he had time. After a few days, they became somewhat familiar with each other.

"Oh, you're calling me by my nickname! Are you two having some kind of affair?"

"No, that's not the case. I'm going out to find a job." Liu Guangfu ran out of the backyard. Last week, Liu Guangfu also finished his exams. With his grades, he couldn't even think about going to a technical secondary school or a high school. He had better just look for a job.

Central courtyard, rainwater house.

Yu Shui has returned from his own yard for a few days. Firstly, although he found an excuse, it is not good to stay outside for a long time. Secondly, he came back to see how his silly brother is doing. His silly brother's several thousand dollars are still in his hands, and he gives half of his monthly salary to himself.

Then Yu Shui discovered that there was a beautiful girl in the yard. She thought that this girl should be Qin Jingru, who was now being forced to do hard labor by her sister. Qin Huairu also wanted to suck her brother's blood through her cousin. She had a beautiful idea. With me here, you will lose both the wife and the army! It seems that Liu Guangfu in the backyard has some interest in Qin Jingru.

Xu Damao also told her about Liang Ladi. Through these days of contact, she had a better impression of Liang Ladi. This person was independent and self-reliant, and had a bottom line. She was never greedy like Qin Huairu, and she was grateful and helped her brother with sewing and mending. She also educated the children well, and always praised Uncle Zhuzi and Aunt Yushui.

If my brother really can't find an older girl to marry and has to find a widow, then Liang Ladi would be a good choice. She is definitely a hundred times better than Qin Huairu.

Jia family.

Banggeng also started his summer vacation. Qin Jingru took Banggeng and Xiaodang to play in the alley outside and was not at home.

"Huai Ru, are you really planning to introduce Jing Ru to Sha Zhu? Wasn't Sha Zhu beaten before? Can he still have a child?" Jia Zhang asked while sitting on the bed, playing with the soles of her shoes and blinking her triangular eyes.

"Then what can I do? You won't let me bring disgrace to the Jia family, and I want to eat good food every day. What can I do with my big belly? If Jingru can get together with Shazhu, then we and Shazhu will be real relatives, and the lunch boxes will all be ours in the future." Qin Huairu said a little aggrieved.

"I think Jingru doesn't talk much, but she has her own ideas. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Besides, isn't Jingru not yet of age? You can let them meet formally and get married, then settle the matter, and then use Jingru's not yet of age as an excuse to keep Shazhu from getting benefits from home."

I have to say that when Jia Zhang is clear-headed, she is very smart. She can come up with a good idea as soon as she thinks about it.

Qin Huairu was also moved by Jia Zhang's idea. She had been procrastinating for a week and still hadn't made up her mind whether to introduce Jingru to Sha Zhu. After all, she knew Sha Zhu very well and was afraid that Sha Zhu's problem would ruin Jingru's life.

Before she got married, she often did housework at home while taking care of her own children and her two uncles' children. It's a bit exaggerated to say that Jingru was raised by her, but she also took care of her for a long time, so there must be affection. Now after hearing what my mother-in-law said, I suddenly think this is a good idea. It can benefit me without hurting Jingru. Isn't this the best of both worlds!

"Mom, this is a good idea. Let's do it. I'll go find Zhuzi after get off work today."

"You are still young after all, and you don't consider things comprehensively. It's not like I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. So there is a reason for the saying that an old person in the family is like a treasure." Jia Zhang took the opportunity to highlight her role and reminded her daughter-in-law of her importance at all times, for fear that Qin Huairu would abandon her and remarry.

"Yes, what you said is right. You are my guiding light. I will need your continued guidance in the future." Qin Huairu's words were just perfunctory, but Jia Zhang smiled happily.

"Ouch, I've been sitting for too long and my legs hurt. Huairu, put me down and get some painkillers.

Qin Huairu followed her advice and said, "Mom, the doctor said that you can't take too many painkillers. It's addictive. I'm afraid you're taking more and more of them."

"How can I not eat? My old arms and legs are aching so much that I can't stand it."

After taking the medicine, Jia Zhang felt less pain and soon she started snoring.

Steel rolling mill, bicycle workshop.

Xu Damao was sitting in the workshop office, scratching his head. Nowadays, speed-changing bicycles are very popular among people, especially young people, for their beautiful appearance, graceful lines, humanized design and adaptability to various terrains and weather conditions. The market is in short supply.

Xu Damao was in trouble because his production could not keep up. He had just received a new foreign trade order for 200 bicycles, and various people with connections called him one after another to ask for favors for the bicycles.

The reasons why production cannot keep up are: first, the domestic natural rubber production is limited. Importing it requires a large amount of foreign exchange, and the country's foreign exchange is very tight now; second, the scale of the workshop is there, there are only so many people and most of them are low-level workers. It is too late to expand now. Other workshops also have their own tasks and it is difficult to help produce some parts.

In fact, Xu Damao did think about assembly line operation, but the work grade system was implemented in this era. The implementation of assembly line production could quickly increase the proficiency of workers and thus increase output. But in this case, how could the workers in the workshop take exams, make progress, and get a salary increase!

Forget it, never mind for now, let’s just temporarily adopt the assembly line operation, get through this time first, and change it back later.

Xu Damao left the office when it was almost time to get off work, planning to gather everyone for a meeting to discuss the assembly line.

Soon, all the people came. Deputy Director Zhou Xiaoguang went on a business trip to the south to coordinate the quota of natural rubber. Zhao Guodong went to the steel mill in the northeast to coordinate the special steel used in bicycles. They were not in the workshop.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's have a short meeting. As everyone knows, we have a lot of orders right now and our production can't keep up, so I want to temporarily adopt the assembly line method to increase production first. This assembly line operation is..."

Xu Damao explained to everyone what assembly line operation is. "Okay, now you can ask any questions you have."
