Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Chapter 40 Uncle 2 Arrives

After dinner, Zhou Tian washed the dishes and lay down on the bed. Only then did he have the opportunity to reflect on what had happened that day.

As for his study plan, he has already discussed the night school with his master. After picking up the high school textbooks from the night school tomorrow, he will study at home. As for Russian, he has already finished reading the master's notebook. As for the difficult points, he has not encountered them yet.

He will also need some advice from his master tomorrow.

He has also read two-thirds of the book on Mechanical Design. He should be able to finish it in a few days. Although this book does not help much in improving his benchwork skills, it has broadened his horizons.

At the very least, he knew where he should focus his efforts next. He had not had time to read those books on electricians, so he decided to put them aside for now, at least until he had digested and understood the books he had read.

After thinking about his study plan, he couldn't help but think of Lu Chengjun and Dong Zhicheng, two classmates he had just met at night school.

Although the three of them had just met today, Zhou Tian could tell from their attire and conversation that their backgrounds should not be simple and their families should at least have some connections. As for their character, it would be hard to tell in a short time.

On the contrary, the most unexpected gain for him today was the capture of two enemy spies. He did not expect that his luck would be so good tonight that he would hear the enemy spies quarreling on the way home.

But thinking about it now, he felt a little scared. He didn't think much at the time. He only had one thought, that is, he must not let the enemy spy escape, so he took the risk of pretending to be another person and lure the other party to open the door.

If it weren't for his martial arts instinct telling him that there was danger, he might have fallen at the hands of the opponent's gun.

Now that he thought about it, he had taken a risk. If something went wrong with him, what would happen to his brothers and sisters? Especially in this courtyard full of beasts.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"It seems that we need to be cautious before doing anything!"

He reminded himself again in his mind, then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

With his second brother helping to prepare meals at home, Zhou Tian felt a lot more relaxed. When he woke up the next day, his second brother Zhou Hao had already prepared breakfast.

Although it’s not as good as Zhou Tian’s, it’s at least edible.

After dinner, Zhou Tian went to the third primary school and then walked towards the steel mill.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already June in Beijing. A lot of things have happened in these two months, including national affairs as well as family matters.

The national event was that in May, our army launched the fifth campaign on the Peninsula battlefield. Its essence was to put pressure on the Bald Eagle internationally, speed up the end of the Korean War, cross the 38th parallel, intend to annihilate a large number of enemy forces, and force the Bald Eagle to negotiate peace.

Prior to this, the commander-in-chief had led the Volunteer Army to win the previous four large-scale battles and was confident of winning the fifth battle. However, the disadvantaged American side reacted and not only changed its tactics but also replaced its commander, making the battle suddenly very difficult to fight.

Although the battle was won in the end, the fighting was so brutal that even the battle-hardened commander-in-chief couldn't help but cry. This was the famous Battle of Iron Triangle.

On May 5, the Central People's Government and the Tibetan local government signed the "Agreement on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet" in Beijing, declaring the peaceful liberation of Tibet.

When the news came, the people of the capital city celebrated spontaneously. Even the workers who were working in the factories walked out of the workshops and began to cheer loudly. They hugged each other, whether they knew each other or not.

To celebrate, Lou Jiancheng had to give the workers a day off!

As for the gossip in the yard, the Jia family has already started arranging a blind date for Jia Dongxu, and the news of Zhou Tian attending night school has spread throughout the street, attracting the attention of many people, but these have nothing to do with Zhou Tian.

In the past two months, Zhou Tian went to night school and found a teacher to buy a set of high school textbooks. Since then, he has been studying at home except when he is working. Of course, what he is learning is not high school knowledge, but electrical knowledge. He has finished the book on mechanical design and is now majoring in electrical engineering.

As for the high school courses, he threw them aside after reading them for a few days. It was not that he was unwilling to learn, but the high school knowledge of that era was too simple for him!

In two months, he had almost finished reading several books on electrical engineering, especially the part about high voltage, which was his focus of study.

High voltage electricity refers to power supplies with a voltage of 250 volts or more or industrial power supplies with a voltage of 3000 volts. In certain cases, it refers to the voltage level of power transmission in the power system.

High voltage electricity is generally used in factories, coal mines and other heavy industrial units.

The development of high-voltage electricity in my country began gradually after the completion of the Beijing-Tangshan transmission network in 1952. Currently, the high-voltage electricity transmission in steel rolling mills is only within 110 kV.

Compared with foreign countries, China lags behind Bald Eagle in high voltage electricity by nearly 40 years, while Bald Eagle's 110 kV power grid was put into use as early as 1908.

The reason why Zhou Tian studied high voltage electricity was mainly because steel rolling mills are also heavy industries, and the operation of machinery is closely related to high voltage electricity.

He naturally wanted to know more.

That day, Zhou Tian had just got off work and had just walked into the door when he was stopped by Yan Bugui's wife Yang Ruihua.

"Xiaotian, your relatives are coming to your house!"

Before Zhou Tian showed any displeasure, Yang Ruihua spoke first.

"What? Aunt Yang, are you telling the truth?"

Zhou Tian paused and asked.

"Of course it's true. When has Aunt Yang ever lied to you?"

Yang Ruihua promised solemnly.

"Thank you, Aunt Yang. I'll go back first!"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he quickened his pace and walked towards the backyard. As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw a country man about 37 or 38 years old, wearing a gray cloth shirt, squatting at the door of his house and smoking a pipe.

"Second uncle!"

The first time Zhou Tian saw the man, he recognized him. Isn't this his second uncle from the countryside? He couldn't help but shout happily, took a few quick steps forward and helped his second uncle up, complaining.

"Uncle, when you came, why didn't you send me a telegram so I could pick you up?"

Second uncle Zhou Weimin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Why send a telegram? Wouldn't that just be a waste of money? Besides, our village is not far from the city! It's not like I can't find your house."

Now he feels that his eldest nephew seems to be less and less lovable. In the past, his nephew was not good at talking, but he could make him cry with just one sentence.

But before he could say anything, his eldest nephew started to chatter on and on. How could he, as the second uncle, lose face?

"No, Uncle, if you send me a telegram, at least I can pick you up, in case you get lost."

Zhou Tian naturally didn't know that he had been disliked by his second uncle. As he spoke, he took out the key, opened the door, and welcomed his second uncle in.

I poured a glass of warm water for my uncle attentively. Seeing him constantly looking around the room, I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, how are the grandparents in the village? I heard that the land has been divided in the village. I wonder how much we got?"
