Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the familiar but slightly dilapidated courtyard, feeling mixed emotions. His home became desolate overnight, and the warmth that once existed was now only deserted and desolate. He took a deep breath and was determined to stand up again. No matter how difficult it was, he would make a comeback.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he ran into Qin Huairu. When she saw Wang Qiang, she immediately greeted him warmly: "Hey, Qiangzi is back! Why haven't I seen you recently? I heard something happened at home?"

Wang Qiang forced a smile: "Well, yes, there are some unexpected events, but it's okay, I will get through it."

Qin Huairu looked at his haggard face and said with concern: "If you need help, just let me know. We are neighbors, and we will help if we can."

"Thank you, Sister Huairu, I can handle it myself." Wang Qiang nodded, feeling grateful.

Walking into the house, Wang Qiang looked at the empty room and felt even more depressed. He punched the wall and vowed silently: "I must make my home better again!"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Wang Qiang turned around and saw that it was Yan Bugui, the gang leader in the yard who often caused trouble. Yan Bugui approached, glanced at Wang Qiang, and said sarcastically: "Hey, Qiangzi, I heard that your family is penniless now. What are your plans? Are you going to beg?"

Wang Qiang's eyes flashed with anger, but he knew that there was no point in arguing with Yan Bugui, so he just said coldly: "Don't worry about my affairs, you should just take care of yourself."

Yan Bugui laughed and waved his hand: "Okay, you have guts. Let's see how long you can last." After that, he turned and left, leaving Wang Qiang standing alone in the empty room.

The next morning, Wang Qiang decided to find a job. He knew that if he wanted to make a comeback, he had to have a source of income. He changed into his only set of relatively clean clothes, walked out of the courtyard, and headed towards the factory.

Walking on the road, I ran into Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai is an old resident of the courtyard, very popular, and everyone respectfully calls him "Uncle Yi". Seeing Wang Qiang, Yi Zhonghai stopped and patted him on the shoulder: "Qiangzi, I heard that you have encountered some difficulties recently, you must hold on! If you need any help, just let me know."

Wang Qiang nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Yi, I will try my best."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Good job, what are your plans?"

"I plan to find a job and earn some money to support my life," Wang Qiang replied.

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know that the machinery factory on the front street is hiring recently? You can go and give it a try."

Wang Qiang's eyes lit up: "Really? Thank you, Uncle Yi, I'll go check it out right away."

Arriving at the machinery factory, Wang Qiang waited in a long line for an interview. After several rounds of interviews, he was finally hired and became a mechanic. Although the work was hard, his heart was full of hope.

One day, Wang Qiang was working in the factory when he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong was his old classmate. They had a good relationship when they were young, but because of their different life paths, they gradually lost contact.

"Hai Zhong, why are you here?" Wang Qiang asked in surprise.

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "I work here too. I heard you were here a long time ago and I just happened to meet you today."

The two chatted and recalled their childhood memories, feeling a little emotional. Liu Haizhong patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and said, "Qiangzi, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must hold on. Let's work hard together!"

Wang Qiang nodded, his eyes full of determination: "Yes, let's work hard together!"

A few months later, Wang Qiang gradually gained a foothold in the machinery factory and his salary gradually stabilized. Although life was still difficult, he began to save some money and planned how to make his family better again.

One night, Wang Qiang returned to the courtyard and was about to rest when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Liu Guangtian who worked in the factory during the day. Liu Guangtian looked pale and nervous.

"Qiangzi, something bad has happened in the factory." Liu Guangtian said anxiously.

Wang Qiang's heart tightened: "What's going on?"

"The factory director was arrested for corruption and bribery, and many people in the factory were implicated," Liu Guangtian explained.

Wang Qiang was stunned. This news was like a bolt from the blue to him. He asked hurriedly, "What should we do then?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head: "I don't know. The factory is in chaos right now. Everyone is trying to protect themselves."

Wang Qiang was silent for a moment, and then he made a quick decision: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to save ourselves."

The next morning, Wang Qiang and Liu Guangtian returned to the factory together. The factory was indeed in chaos. The workers gathered together, talking about it, full of anxiety and panic. Wang Qiang stood aside, observing carefully, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name from behind. Turning back, he saw that it was Lao Li, the technical supervisor of the factory. Lao Li usually took good care of Wang Qiang, but at this moment he looked very anxious.

"Qiangzi, you also know about the factory director's affairs." Old Li sighed and said.

Wang Qiang nodded: "Yes, Uncle Li, what should we do now?"

Old Li pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing now is to stabilize people's hearts. We must unite to overcome this difficulty."

Wang Qiang agreed: "Yes, everyone is panicking, we need a leader."

Lao Li looked around and said, "Qiangzi, I think you can do it."

Wang Qiang was stunned: "Me?"

Old Li nodded: "Yes, you are young and energetic, and you are popular. Everyone trusts you."

Wang Qiang was excited, but also a little hesitant: "But I don't have enough experience, can I do it?"

Lao Li patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's work hard together."

Wang Qiang took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Okay, I'll try!"

In the following days, Wang Qiang and Lao Li organized the workers, calmed everyone down, and formulated emergency measures. They held several meetings to discuss solutions and actively communicated with higher authorities to resume production as soon as possible.

In this process, Wang Qiang demonstrated his outstanding leadership and organizational skills, and gradually won everyone's trust and support. The situation in the factory gradually improved with his efforts, and the workers rekindled their hope. Lying on the bed tiredly. He closed his eyes, and the busy scenes during the day emerged in his mind, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Although the road ahead is still full of challenges, he believes that as long as he persists, he will surely usher in a bright future.
