Siheyuan, my new life

After patiently waiting, when the red-hot molten iron flowed from the discharge port to the mold, everyone present held their breath, anxiously waiting for the professors from the Iron and Steel Institute and the technicians from the steel plant to test the steel billets that had just undergone the cooling treatment. Everyone present couldn't help but be nervous, as this was related to everyone's hard work these days.

When everyone saw the professors from the Iron and Steel Institute and the steel plant technicians walking towards the main leaders with smiles on their faces, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, when the city's main leaders saw the test results handed over by the professor of the Iron and Steel Institute, they excitedly announced loudly: "Comrades, I have good news for you. After careful testing by Professor Qu of the Iron and Steel Institute and Technician Yang of Capital Steel Plant, the quality of the first batch of steel billets produced by the first steelmaking furnace in Jiaodaokou Street has fully met the standards. Here, on behalf of the city, I would like to say thank you for your hard work and thank you for your contribution to national construction!"

After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but applaud loudly and excitedly, and several young officials couldn't help but hug each other to celebrate.

With the successful completion of the first small-scale steelmaking furnace and the successful ignition test, the staff of the street office and neighborhood committee who had made preparations in advance immediately, following the instructions of the technical staff, put the scrap steel transported from various waste recycling stations into the steelmaking furnace. Looking at the blazing flames, everyone present had excitement on their faces.

After seeing off the city and district leaders, Zhou Xiu and Director Wang immediately directed the officials from other street offices and neighborhood committees, together with the street construction team, to continue building the second and third small steel-making furnaces simultaneously based on the experience gained from building the first small steel-making furnace. Of course, Professor Qu from the Iron and Steel Institute and Technician Yang from the Capital Steel Plant were also there to provide guidance and supervision.

In the following days, three small steel-making furnaces in Jiaodaokou Street were successfully built and ignited, and the steel billets produced fully met the design standards.

In addition to handling the daily work of the street office, Director Zhou Xiu and Wang spent most of their time and energy on the steel furnace. With three small steel furnaces put into operation at the same time, it was obviously impossible to rely solely on these young staff of the street office and neighborhood committee.

So the aunties from the street office and neighborhood committee came forward and carried out propaganda in every courtyard and tenement house in the jurisdiction, calling on residents to sign up and participate in the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production. At the same time, they encouraged each household to donate unused scrap steel and iron at home to support the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production.

Most of the people in this period were still quite simple and honest, so various courtyards and slums responded to the call of the street offices and neighborhood committees. They not only donated a large amount of scrap steel and iron, but also spontaneously organized a group of unemployed young and middle-aged people to go to the street offices to sign up for the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production.

Zhou Xiu and Director Wang had already discussed this before. In addition to providing a meal every day to those residents in the area who actively participated in the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production, those who performed outstandingly would be given priority in providing jobs.

All these young and middle-aged people who participated in the Great Steel Production Campaign were divided into groups of twelve people. Each group had two experienced street office and neighborhood committee officials as group leader and deputy group leader. Each group worked for six hours, and all the personnel were divided into four shifts.

As for the food rations provided to those who participated in the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production, in addition to a batch of coarse grains applied for from the city, the rest was obtained by Zhou Xiu from begging his son.

Of course, Lin Yu strongly supported his mother's work. He not only provided hundreds of tons of flour to the Jiaodaokou Street Office, but also gave an extra batch of pork and various Bald Eagle military canned foods.

The canteen of the street office certainly could not provide white flour buns, but only two-grain flour buns and big pot dishes. Of course, there would still be some pork and chopped Bald Eagle military canned food in the big pot dishes.

Even with such food, it was already quite good for ordinary people today. With sufficient food supply and the promise of the street office that as long as they performed well, they would be given priority in providing jobs, the young and middle-aged people who signed up to participate in the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production were very enthusiastic. Some people who had been too smart and did not actively sign up at the time regretted it very much after seeing all this. Unfortunately, even if they wanted to sign up now, the street office would not accept them.

What made those young and middle-aged people who did not take the initiative to sign up for the Great Steel Production Campaign particularly upset was that, after visiting the steelmaking work in Jiaodaokou Street, the main leaders of Capital Steel Plant and Red Star Steel Rolling Plant said that they would arrange for these young and middle-aged people who participated in the Great Steel Production Campaign to directly participate in the work, and they would all be formal employees. Because under the training of Professor Qu of the Iron and Steel Institute and Technician Yang of Capital Steel Plant, these young and middle-aged people have basically reached the level of first-class workers, and therefore no longer need to go through a three-year apprenticeship.

As the three small steel-making furnaces at Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office were operating normally, the municipal government began to promote the experience of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office throughout the city. According to the standard of building a small steel-making furnace in each sub-district office, experts and technicians were drawn from the Iron and Steel Institute and Capital Steel Plant for on-site guidance as usual. The vigorous steel-making campaign kicked off in the capital.

The city's main leaders found Lin Yu, hoping to buy a batch of grain and meat from him to support the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production in various street offices. Lin Yu would certainly not refuse. The grain and meat were provided at the national allocation price, but all the purchase money was donated to the Municipal People's Armed Forces Department, which helped the retired and demobilized soldiers and families of martyrs who were in financial difficulties in the city.

Nowadays, Lin Yu basically no longer participates in the daily work of the Security Department. Every day at work, apart from reviewing documents, he just goes to the laboratory to do some work.

As the office director, Su Yu has to deal with calls from various military units urging for delivery every day. According to Lin Yu's instructions, Su Yu systematically provides Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate to these units in batches, basically increasing the share a little as appropriate based on the distribution list provided by Junwei.

Now Su Yu has tasted the sweetness of life. She handles various tasks at the company during the day and takes Lin Yu back to the paradise every night. Apart from communication between husband and wife, they spend more time practicing in the Qiankun Tower. Of course, Su Yu's hard work has also been rewarded very well. Now Su Yu has reached the late stage of Qi Refining.
