Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

After getting married, the water used in Qin Zheng's home was directly replaced with spiritual spring water. Chen Xueru's physical fitness gradually improved, and she became more beautiful. She could endure Qin Zheng's torture for a lot longer, although she was still no match for him.

Good news is coming.

At the end of November, Chen Xueru attended a party at the Qin family. When she smelled the fishy odor, she suddenly covered her mouth and began to dry heave.

Everyone was in a panic for a while, and when they calmed down, Han Qing suddenly asked, "Is Xueru pregnant?"

In one sentence, the Qin family reacted quickly. This sentence was undoubtedly the correct answer.

Han Qing was so surprised that she couldn't stop smiling and immediately asked Qin Zheng to accompany Chen Xueru to the hospital for examination.

"Mom, no need to go to the hospital, I can check it out."

After saying that, Qin Zheng started to take Chen Xueru's pulse, and then the smile on his face became more obvious.

"How about it?"

Han Qing asked anxiously.

"Mom, Xueru is really pregnant."

"Oh, that's great."

So, Chen Xueru officially became a panda and the new baby of the Qin family.

"Second brother, I'm telling you, during this period before the baby is born, you must not mess around, be honest, and don't touch Xueru again, do you hear me?"

As soon as Han Qing said this, Chen Xueru's face immediately turned red and she was full of shame, and Qin Zheng could only respond hesitantly and did not dare to talk back.

Alas, I have just legally started eating meat, but now I have to become a monk. How miserable!

There’s nothing we can do, just bear with it.

At the end of June 1957, Department of Physics, Peking University.

"Qin Zheng, I really hope you can stay in school to teach." Director Zhang Maode looked regretful.

"Director Zhang, I still hope to do research."

"Okay. You're not really leaving school anyway."

Qin Zheng completed his postgraduate studies in just one year. He did not continue his studies and chose to work directly.

On July 7, at the gate of the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu leaned on his bicycle after get off work, seemingly waiting for someone. Soon, a familiar figure appeared. It was Qin Zheng.

"Qin Zheng, I never thought that you would be the chief engineer at the steel mill."

At this time, Qin Zheng was exceptionally recognized as a fourth-level engineer and directly appointed as the chief engineer of the steel rolling mill with a monthly salary of 175 yuan.

"Zhu Zi, are you waiting for me?"

"Of course not. Now that you are the leader in the factory, I have to flatter you!"

"Haha, okay, I'll give you this chance, but the food won't be good enough."

"Don't worry, there's wine and meat. Let's go."

"Wait a moment, I'll go to the security guard to call home, and then I'll rest in the Red Star Courtyard tonight."

When he graduated, the school wanted him to stay on to teach. The military also sought Qin Zheng's opinion and gave several suggestions.

After some thought, Qin Zheng decided to work as chief engineer at the steel rolling mill and use the factory's resources to set up his own laboratory.

The military approved his application, and because he was already officially working, his rank was promoted to colonel, and his new position was the chief instructor of the military region's special forces.

Naturally, the school would not let him go easily, and specially hired him as a visiting professor of the Department of Physics, and also as the person in charge of the school-enterprise cooperation between the steel rolling mill and Peking University. Qin Zheng did not refuse, as this arrangement was quite to his liking.

"Visiting professor" is a scholar hired by the "Guest Association" to give reports or lectures from time to time. He may not be a professor, but a celebrity, official, entrepreneur, inventor, etc., which does fit Qin Zheng's identity.

However, Qin Zheng chose to work in a steel mill for another important reason. Although he studied two majors as a graduate student, one was semiconductors and the other was mechanical engineering.

Although he is committed to serving the country through science and technology and is actively engaged in the research and development and design of various alloys and CNC machine tools, Qin Zheng is not a saint and has selfish desires. He does not want to leave the capital and his parents and family to live far away, so his research and development projects are currently limited to alloys and CNC machine tools.

The two of them made an appointment to have dinner together. Although it was a good idea, they naturally could not fulfill their wish when they arrived at the courtyard.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Jia Dongxu, and Xu Damao came uninvited. Each of them had something in his hand, either eggs, wine, or peanuts. Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi also followed.

"Chief Engineer Qin, please sit in the middle."

Liu Haizhong took the lead and, ignoring the age difference among everyone, politely invited Qin Zheng to sit in the middle. Qin Zheng did not hesitate and sat in the main seat without hesitation.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's unnatural expression, Qin Zheng sneered in his heart: "You all came here uninvited, and you still want to be the boss?"

As soon as they sat down, Yan Bugui spoke first: "Oh, Qin Zheng, I never thought that you are already a senior executive in the steel mill. Your future is limitless."

The smile on his face was very kind and warm, and it seemed to contain a little money!

“It’s all about the trust of the organization.”

Qin Zheng smiled calmly. His aura was steady, deep and majestic, and he was very steady, without any affectation at all.

This old guy will probably look for me next. Yan Jiecheng just graduated from high school this year and has not found a job yet. Given this old guy's personality, he will probably turn his attention to me.

It’s not impossible to help, as long as the price is right. Haha, given the calculating character of the third uncle, he must have considered it for a long time.

"Well, it's a blessing for our hospital that Qin Zheng can serve as the chief engineer of the factory. Come, I suggest that we drink the first glass of wine to celebrate."

Yi Zhonghai would not let the third uncle have all the glory, so he quickly proposed.

"Yes, yes, congratulations to Qin Zheng for becoming the factory leader."

Liu Haizhong also echoed the sentiment, his heart was burning with excitement. This official-obsessed man seemed to have seen an opportunity to become an official himself.

"Come, let's drink together."

Qin Zheng called out, picked up his glass, toasted with everyone else from a distance, and drank.

Liu Guangqi, Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng, who are of the same age, are full of envy. There is nothing they can do; Qin Zheng cannot be reasoned with by common sense.

Xu Damao sighed in his heart: "Qin Zheng is only 21 years old, just two years older than me, but his administrative level is already 13th level. My salary is probably not even a fraction of his. Alas, if you compare yourself with others, you will die, and if you compare goods with others, you will throw them away."

Liu Guangqi graduated from secondary technical school last year and worked as a technician in a steel rolling mill. He was the proudest son of Liu Hai, but now he is a subordinate of Qin Zheng's subordinate.

Yan Jiecheng graduated from high school this year. Given the character of the uncle, he naturally would not let him stay at home. He drove him out every day and made him carry bags and do odd jobs at the train station. He came back exhausted every day. So, when he looked at Qin Zheng now, his mind was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

But there was nothing he could do; all that showed on his face was flattery and admiration.

"Qin Zheng, you and Jie Cheng grew up together. I'll have to trouble you to give him some advice in the future. Come, Jie Cheng and I will toast you together."

Qin Zheng thought to himself, MMP, if you had congratulated me on my promotion, I could have accepted it calmly, but you said you were a big shot and you wanted to toast me, damn, you are putting me on a pedestal.
