Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Yi Zhonghai handed over a bag of rice and said, "Xiao Qiang, take these first. I'll try to find you a job in a few days."

Wang Qiang took the rice and said, "I will always remember your kindness."

Brothers Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangfu also came to help. They were old residents of the courtyard and had a good relationship with Wang Qiang. Seeing Wang Qiang's current state, the two couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Haizhong said: "Wang Qiang, if you need anything, just tell us. We brothers will never ignore you." "Thank you, Brother Haizhong, Brother Guangfu. I will try my best to stand up."

Although Jia Zhang was usually a big talker, she was not stingy at this moment and sent some vegetables and a few pieces of bacon. She looked at Wang Qiang and sighed: "Life is hard. But don't lose heart, life will always get better."

Wang Qiang took the food solemnly and nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Jia."

With the help of everyone, Wang Qiang temporarily got through the most difficult time, but he knew that to really make a comeback, he must have a stable income and a skill. So he decided to find Xu Damao, the director of the steel mill, hoping to find a job in the factory.

Xu Damao is a shrewd factory manager who is strict in management but also considerate of his employees. Wang Qiang stood at the door of Xu Damao's office, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Xu Damao's voice came from inside the door.

Wang Qiang pushed the door open and said respectfully, "Director Xu, I'm Wang Qiang. I want to ask you for a job."

Xu Damao raised his head, looked at Wang Qiang, and nodded: "I heard about your situation. What kind of job do you want to do?" "I am willing to start with the most basic job. As long as I can have a stable income, I am willing to do anything."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go to the production line first and try it out to see if you can do it. You have to work hard during this period and try to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible." "Thank you, Director Xu, I will definitely work hard!"

Working in the steel mill is not easy. Wang Qiang has to get up early and stay up late every day, enduring high temperatures and fatigue. But he never complained, instead he worked harder because he knew this was his only chance to make a comeback. Every day when he returned to the courtyard, he would chat with his neighbors about the day's work, and everyone expressed their support and encouragement to him. Wang Qiang was about to take a break when he suddenly heard a quarrel next door. He went out and saw that it was Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui who were arguing. Qin Huairu was a woman with a hot temper, and she always caused a lot of trouble in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Yan Bugui, you are deliberately looking for trouble! My water tank didn't touch your things, why do you say I am unreasonable!"

Yan Bugui was not to be outdone: "Look at your water tank, it spilled water to my doorstep, isn't that an impact?" He advised: "Sister Huairu, Uncle Bugui, if you have anything to say, please talk it over nicely."

Qin Huairu turned her head, looked at Wang Qiang, and sneered: "Who do you think you are? Why do you care about our affairs?"

Wang Qiang said calmly: "I just hope that everyone can live in harmony and not quarrel over trivial matters. Our lives are already hard enough, why should we make things more difficult for ourselves?"

Yan Bugui looked at Wang Qiang and sighed, "Forget it, I won’t bother with her." After that, he turned around and went home.

Qin Huairu glared at Wang Qiang angrily, then walked away. Wang Qiang shook his head and returned to his room. He knew that to live in this courtyard, he not only needed to work hard, but also learn to deal with neighbors. Wang Qiang's work in the steel rolling mill was getting more and more handy. He was diligent and studious, and soon mastered a lot of skills, which was recognized by colleagues and leaders. One day, Yi Zhonghai found him and said to him: "Xiao Qiang, your performance is very good now. I recommend that you participate in the factory's technical training to improve your skills."

Wang Qiang said happily: "Really? Thank you, Master Yi! I will definitely cherish this opportunity."

In the technical training class at the factory, Wang Qiang met many like-minded friends. They studied together, discussed technical issues together, and made progress together. After the training, Wang Qiang's technical level has been greatly improved, and he is like a duck in water when he returns to his job.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. One day, an accident occurred in the steel mill and several workers were injured. Wang Qiang was also slightly injured in the accident, but he did not back down. Instead, he became more determined to take root in this land.

After the accident, Xu Damao called a meeting and said seriously: "This accident has sounded the alarm for us. Safety in production is the top priority. We must learn lessons and strictly follow the operating procedures. He said: "Director Xu, I think we need to strengthen safety training so that every worker can master basic safety knowledge and skills."

Xu Damao nodded: "Your suggestion is very good, we will implement it as soon as possible. Everyone must raise safety awareness and protect the safety of themselves and their colleagues."

In the following days, Wang Qiang not only continued to improve his skills, but also actively participated in safety training and publicity. His efforts were recognized by everyone and gradually allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the factory.

One day, Wang Qiang was busy at the factory when he suddenly received a message that the deaf old lady was ill. He put down his work and rushed back to the courtyard. The deaf old lady was old and had always been in poor health. This time her condition was more serious.

Wang Qiang took the deaf old lady to the hospital and tried his best to arrange the best treatment for her. Looking at the deaf old lady lying on the hospital bed, Wang Qiang was filled with emotion. Although the old lady was deaf, she was like a relative to him, and he could not let her get hurt no matter what.

A few days later, neighbors came forward to express their concern.

Qin Huairu said, "Xiao Qiang, how is the deaf old lady?"

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "She's much better. Thank you all for your concern."

Liu Haizhong said: "You are really filial. The deaf old lady is so lucky to have a younger generation like you. Everyone is so kind to me, I must try my best to repay you."

Life goes on. Although Wang Qiang's life in the courtyard is hard, he never gives up hope. He believes that as long as he keeps working hard, he will be able to create a better future for himself. The care and support from his neighbors make him feel at home in this courtyard.

In this land of the old city, Wang Qiang wrote chapters of struggle with his sweat and hard work. He knows that there are still many challenges waiting for him in the future.

Wang Qiang found a job in a steel mill.

Wang Qiang stood at the door of the steel mill with a determined look. He knew this was his chance to make a comeback and he couldn't miss it. Walking into the factory, he saw the busy figures of the workers and the roar of the machines filled his ears. He walked to the personnel office.
