Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"No, maybe not!"

Thinking about it, Zhou Tian suddenly thought of a solution, which was to separate his younger brothers and sisters and set up their own accounts, but then he thought it was not appropriate.

My younger brothers and sisters are not yet capable of surviving on their own. My second oldest brother is only twelve years old. Even if he turns thirteen after this year, he will not be an adult. As for my two younger cousins, they are only sixteen years old.

Under the current household registration system, it is probably not possible to open a separate household registration at the age of sixteen. The only solution is to rely on my second uncle and second aunt.

"Alas! I'm still not old enough. It would be better if I could live a few more years!"

However, thinking that it would take several years before the real public-private partnership was realized and the problem of forced renting out of houses might arise later, he temporarily gave up this plan and decided to wait and see and solve the employment problems of his two cousins ​​and his second uncle's family by the end of the year.

He will think of a solution when the time comes. After all, if a man does not plan for the future, he will have immediate worries. As for many things in the 1950s of his previous life, he only knew some fragmentary information on the Internet. As for whether it was true or not, it remains to be discussed.

After making the decision, Zhou Tian began to continue reading and studying.

The moment he picked up the book, Zhou Tian’s mind suddenly thought of the beautiful girl in the library. He wondered how she was doing after not seeing her for a few days.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and found himself funny. He knew clearly that there might be a big gap between himself and the other party, so why should he worry about it?

If we are destined to meet, we will meet each other. If not, it will just be a beautiful memory.

Pulling his thoughts back and looking down at the book in his hand, he gradually fell into the ocean of knowledge. Only when he was reading and studying could he feel focused, calm and peaceful, and not think about anything that was not related to learning.

The courtyard is quiet at night.

In the east wing of the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai sat on a chair and smoked continuously with a gloomy expression. In the dim moonlight, he gave people an eerie feeling, which was the opposite of his usual kindness and righteousness.

"Okay, Lao Yi, smoke less. Look, the whole house smells like your cigarettes!"

Yi Zhonghai's wife, who was cleaning up the dishes, couldn't help but complain a few words: "Isn't it just that the Zhou family kid didn't agree to you? You can go and talk to Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie in person. After all, you are also an intermediate worker in the factory. Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie should give you this face!"

"You have long hair but little knowledge. What do you know as a woman? Do you think no one would do this? But the problem is that many mid-level workers with similar levels to me were rejected by Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie!"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at her and took another deep puff of cigarette. "I've been stuck at the intermediate level for nearly three years, but I still can't find the key to break through to the senior level. Now I finally get this opportunity, I must seize it, especially now that Dongxu is old enough to get married. If I don't make more money while I can still move and help him out, what if Dongxu doesn't provide for us in our old age?"

Thinking of his troubles, Yi Zhonghai also felt a deep helplessness. After all, the main reason was that he had no children. If he had a child, he would not think about these things.

Unfortunately, he has tried many methods over the years and visited many places for check-ups, but to no avail. This made him completely give up the idea of ​​having children, so he placed the issue of retirement care on Jia Dongxu.

"Ah! It's all my fault. If I hadn't been injured, my child would have been as old as Dongxu!"

When Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law heard this, her eyes reddened and she couldn't help but flash a trace of sadness and self-blame.

"Well, it's all over. What's the point of talking about this?"

At this point, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel a little irritated. Although not having children was a foregone conclusion, he felt particularly fed up every time his wife complained about herself.

"I'm going out for a walk!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Arriving in the yard, Yi Zhonghai looked up at the crescent moon, sighed, and regretted again that he had not accepted Zhou Tian as his disciple. Otherwise, he would not have to worry about all these.

He took another look at the Jia family, who had already turned off the lights and gone to sleep, and an indescribable emotion rose in his heart.

"Dongxu, Jia Zhang, hey!"

Time will not stop for anyone. In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.

Abandoned workshop.

Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie were staring at Zhou Tian, ​​who was assembling the third lathe in front of them, with unspeakable excitement in their eyes.

Ever since the horizontal lathe was accepted by the superiors, the entire industry department has been impressed by its advanced performance, and many engineers have developed a keen interest in Zhou Tian, ​​who developed the horizontal lathe.

Even many factories extended olive branches to Zhou Tian and offered many attractive conditions, but they were all rejected by Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie.

The two of them valued Zhou Tian more and more. When they learned that today was the day to assemble three horizontal lathes, they came to the abandoned workshop early.

Having experience in assembling horizontal lathes, Zhou Tian was even more adept at assembling them again. In less than three hours, three new horizontal lathes were successfully assembled.

After wiping the engine oil off his hands, Zhou Tian looked at the three brand new horizontal lathes in front of him with satisfaction, then turned to his masters Liu Wuming and Zhang Qian who had been waiting there and nodded.

"Master, Master Zhang, we can start the experiment!"

Hearing Zhou Tian's words, the two men, who had been unable to wait, hurried to the two lathes and turned on the power. With a slight buzzing sound, the two horizontal lathes instantly entered working state.

The two men carefully picked up the rough part, fixed it, and began processing. In an instant, sparks began to fly as the rough part and the tool rubbed against each other.

A harsh noise sounded, but to Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie it sounded like heavenly music.

"Master Zhou, let me try this one!"

Technician Nie watched the two masters' actions and felt his hands itching. He took a few steps forward, came to Zhou Tian's side and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian gave up his seat and let Technician Nie do the work.

After a while, the three of them turned off the lathe and began to measure the parts in their hands. After the measurement, the three of them couldn't help but show excited smiles on their faces.

"We succeeded! We succeeded! Great! We succeeded again!"

Looking at the three people cheering excitedly, Deputy Director Yang finally smiled as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

With the success of these three new horizontal lathes, it means that their steel rolling mill's research on horizontal lathes has come to an end and has come to a successful conclusion.

From then on, they were no longer just a single steel rolling mill that could only supply steel, but had their own products and their own technology.

This will be immeasurable for the future development of the steel mill, and will also be of great benefit to the future of the steel mill.
