Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

Another time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye. Liu Guangtian is 18 years old. Now it is 1961. The food ration has been reduced and the difficult times have already come. Now every household is tightening their belts to make ends meet. Now it is really better to lie down than to stand.

Liu Guangtian's family didn't dare to eat big fish and meat anymore. If they wanted to eat, they would go to the master's house. The yard was quiet and empty.

Last year, the Liu family welcomed a daughter named Liu Xiaojia, nicknamed Jiajia, which was given by Liu Guangtian, the most educated person in the family.

The third generation of the Liu family has arrived. Liu Guangtian dotes on his little niece even more and often secretly gives delicious food to the little one.

As a result, the little guy always talks about his second uncle whenever he has nothing to do, asking where his second uncle has gone and why he hasn’t come back yet. Grandma, let’s go find his second uncle. I miss his White Rabbit milk candy!

In the past two years, Liu Haizhong has been promoted to the 7th level forging worker, with a monthly salary of 89 yuan, and Liu Guangqi has also been promoted and given a raise. Liu Guangfu is only a student with a monthly salary of 52 yuan!

Not only Liu Haizhong, but all the beasts in the compound were promoted. Jia Dongxu was promoted to a fourth-level worker, earning 52 yuan a month, and Yi Zhonghai was promoted to an eighth-level fitter, earning the highest salary in the compound, 99 yuan! His prestige in the compound was even higher.

Sha Zhu became the monitor of the third canteen, with a monthly salary of 37.5 yuan, and he became even more arrogant. Xu Damao was a formal projectionist, calling himself an intellectual, with a salary of 42 yuan. He often showed off in front of Sha Zhu, pretending to be the most powerful and enduring the most severe beatings!

There is no need to say anything about our male protagonist Liu Guangtian. The school gave him a diploma as an outstanding graduate, the steel rolling mill took him over smoothly, and his salary was raised by 10 yuan to 72 yuan.

Because of his outstanding performance in the steel rolling mill and his diligent maintenance and protection of machinery for two years, the factory leaders organized a meeting and decided to promote him.

He became the deputy chief of the technical department of the steel rolling mill, second only to the first person in the department and above tens of thousands of people, at most 30 or so people!

Who was the first person to become the second cadre in the Liu family?

Hi! It's Liu Haizhong! He has worked diligently in the steel mill for more than ten years and trained dozens of skilled blacksmiths in the forging workshop. Although he is strict in teaching his apprentices, he never hides his knowledge. There is no apprentice in the forging workshop who doesn't want to learn from Liu Haizhong!

Finally, the factory leaders organized a meeting and decided to promote Liu Haizhong as an advanced worker and team leader of the third workshop, and also rewarded him with 100 yuan in cash and some food coupons.

Today is the second month since Liu Guangtian was promoted to the position. He is working overtime in the workshop to explain technology to several technical staff.

It was already nine o'clock when Liu Guangtian returned to the office after explaining the technology. He needed to record in writing the maintenance process of a batch of new equipment that had recently arrived.

It is convenient for the technicians below to operate.

Time passed quickly. Liu Guangtian put down his pen, looked at his watch and saw it was already 11 o'clock at night. He stretched, closed his notebook, locked the office door and walked out.

Just as he was passing by the workshop, he suddenly heard voices coming from the corner. Liu Guangtou held his breath, concentrated and listened carefully.

My goodness! Two spies tried to sabotage the newly arrived advanced machinery. If they succeed, the entire steel mill will be in trouble. We must stop them!

Liu Guangtian slowly approached the two spies, attempting to take the initiative, but he overestimated himself. He thought he was very good after taking the marrow cleansing pill and practicing martial arts with his master for several years, but after all, he had no actual combat experience.

Liu Guangtian slowly moved forward, getting closer and closer, not even daring to breathe!

Suddenly, the spy on the right seemed to sense something, looked back, and alerted the spy on the left.

Liu Guangtian was ready to shoot at this point, so he took a step forward and broke the right hand of the spy on his left, kicked him to the ground, and then punched the spy on his right.

Unexpectedly, this spy was also a martial artist. The two fought back and forth, and finally Liu Guangtian kicked him unconscious.

Just when he thought the matter was over and was about to take people to the security department, suddenly the spy with a broken right hand took out a pistol with his left hand and started shooting at Liu Guangtian!

Liu Guangtian was accidentally shot in the left shoulder by a random gunshot. He grimaced in pain and screamed in his heart! Is this what it feels like to be shot? It hurts so much!

Fortunately, this guy’s left hand is not very useful, otherwise he would have died.

Liu Guangtian waited until the spy finished firing his bullets and heard the sound of the trigger being pulled. He endured the pain and rushed forward again, breaking his left hand again.

The spy screamed in pain!

The shrill screams and gunshots caused a stir in the silent steel mill, and the security personnel took action immediately.

They quickly arrived at the scene and pulled out their guns to point at Liu Guangtian, because he was the only one standing there with his hands covering his shoulder. The other two, one had fainted, and the other was seriously injured and screaming. They had not yet understood what had happened, so naturally they had to control the threatening person first.

Liu Guangtian quickly explained that the two spies still had explosives tied to their bodies, which were discovered during the fight.

After the security staff understood the situation clearly, they were full of admiration for Liu Guangtian, because without him tonight, all the security staff would be left with nothing tomorrow.

He would definitely have been severely punished for dereliction of duty, but fortunately this did not happen. We have to thank Liu Guangtian for this. Not everyone has the courage to fight against a spy after discovering him, and to win the fight, although he was injured.

The security staff quickly arranged a vehicle to take Liu Guangtian to the hospital and left the aftermath to them.

Liu Guangtian was drowsy in the car. Fighting with the spies took up too much of his energy. In addition, he had not slept well due to working late at night in recent days, so he fainted when he arrived at the hospital.

The security department of the steel mill discovered that the two spies were newly recruited apprentices. They found that the steel mill had new equipment and attempted to sabotage it. After strict interrogation by the security department, they found out that the two were young and could not stand the test, so a series of accomplices were betrayed. After consulting the leadership and with the cooperation of the public security, the security department wiped out a major spy gang overnight.

There are more than 40 people in the gang. The superiors are all alarmed. This is a major incident. Chiang Kai-shek is still determined to destroy us! The superiors have issued an order. All departments must conduct a thorough investigation! Even if we have to plow the land of Sijiu City, we must catch the spies hiding in Sijiu City!

In the early morning, in Nanluoguxiang and Hongxing Courtyard, everyone except the children had dark circles under their eyes. The noise in the streets last night made it impossible to sleep peacefully.

It was as if we had returned to the days when we were still living peacefully. Everyone was hiding in their beds, shivering, fearing that the gate of the courtyard would suddenly be blown open!

Just when everyone thought they had spent a peaceful night and were washing up in the morning, two security personnel from the steel rolling mill came in at the gate of the courtyard. After finding out that Liu Haizhong's house was in the backyard, they hurried to the backyard!

When the neighbors in the courtyard were wondering why they were looking for Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhang couldn't hold back her foul language and was the first to speak:

"You know what a big commotion there was last night! They must be here to arrest someone. The Liu family eats a lot of delicious food every day. His origin is unknown, so he must be a spy."

As soon as Mrs. Jia Zhang opened her mouth, everyone was shocked and scared. They were shocked because the Liu family might not be spies. But they were scared because if the Liu family were really spies, they, their neighbors, would definitely be implicated after living with the Liu family for so long.

Yi Zhonghai was also confused and afraid, but his reason told him not to jump to conclusions so quickly. If the Liu family were spies, then his role as a great master would be over. He scolded:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you can eat whatever you want and say whatever you want. The colleagues from the security department are still here. Let's go over and listen to what happened. Then, regardless of everyone's reaction, he hurried to the backyard."

Everyone reacted and realized that they couldn't just listen to Jia Zhang's one-sided story, so they followed Yi Zhonghai to the backyard.

Bang, bang, bang! There was a knock on the door. The Liu Haizhong family was having breakfast when they were disturbed by the urgent knock on the door. The family frowned.

Who is this? Who is knocking on the door so early in the morning? Is this a ghost?

Liu Guangqi walked over and opened the door, but his calm temperament prevented him from scolding.

As soon as the door was opened, the family saw that it was someone from the factory’s security department, and their hearts skipped a beat!
