Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

If he wants to avoid being implicated in this courtyard, he needs a stable channel of information.

Yan Fugui can satisfy this requirement: on the one hand, he can understand the latest developments by listening to the latest news; on the other hand, it can stop him from slandering himself secretly.

If I help him solve such a big problem now, it will inevitably attract the attention of other people.

Mr. Chen didn't want to cause trouble for himself for no reason. He was not a merciful goddess and had no obligation to help.

What's more, Yan Fugui is already exerting pressure on him. If he helps Yan Jiecheng, wouldn't he anger Yan Fugui?

"Okay, think about it yourself, I'll go back first." Mr. Chen said and left home.

On the way home, Chen Sheng sighed, realizing that everyone lived their own life and that Yan Fugui, despite making a lot of money, was still frugal.

He had seen many frugal people, but he found it rare that the entire Yan family was so harsh and stingy. "Dad, you are too strict!" He heard Yan Jiecheng's voice in the room confronting his father about this matter, but Yan Fugui seemed unmoved and had an attitude of winning.

“Alas, this child just doesn’t understand me.

He had to find a job, and it took me two weeks to find him a job as a steel mill operator who was about to retire from work through a colleague or relative. "Yan Fugui confided to Chen Sheng.

This passage does not sound like a complaint, but rather reveals a hint of pride. After all, in that era, a dual-income family symbolized a superior standard of living.

"Have you bought a seat? That's great, sir. Your life will be easier in the future." Mr. Chen praised.

"I have given my all, and the other party said that I can officially take office after the new year." Yan Fugui still did not forget to exaggerate his painful sacrifice.

"It's getting close to that time, sir, you want to celebrate, should we host a banquet?" Chen Sheng suggested lively. "Drinking, of course it's fine, sir, I'll tell you when I'm ready." Yan Fugui hesitated for a while before agreeing.

"Uncle, you spend so much, do you have to pay fees every month?" Mr. Chen asked with concern.

"Of course. I asked him to pay 25 yuan a month, and he can use the rest for pocket money. After paying for three or four years, he will be able to get married." Yan Fugui said as if it was a matter of course.

"It's a good idea to work in the steel mill. There are many children from our compound here, and we can take care of each other." Mr. Chen commented in agreement.

"That's true." Yan Fugui agreed.

"Which department in the steel plant are we going to?" Mr. Chen asked curiously.

"Finishing rolling group." Yan Fugui responded.

“This job is pretty good,” Mr. Chen commented.

"There's no way to choose. I can only go with the flow." Yan Fugui was obviously quite satisfied with this position.

In this era, if you are replacing a retiring position, your original job is equivalent to determining your position.

However, if the retiree was originally a cadre, it is still possible to choose a low-level position.

People in the compound had different reactions to this incident.

It was a sunny day and everyone gathered in the courtyard, chatting happily.

When people heard the news that Yan Jiecheng was going to the steel plant, they started discussing it heatedly.

"Hey, it's a great thing that Xie Cheng is working in the steel mill.

If he wants to be a fitter in the future, I can teach him a technical skill." Jia Dongxu said.

"No, we are refiners. I guess you are in a different department. What a pity." Yan Fugui responded like this, but he might be thinking in his heart: With a student like Jia Dongxu who has not made any progress after being taught for decades as an example, who would come to him to become his apprentice?

"Besides, Yan Fugui will never let your son worship Yi Zhonghai. Once he does, won't he be outdone for the rest of his life?" He added after another burst of laughter.

"It's great that Jie Cheng is working there! Our neighborhood has basically become half a steel family quarters.

When you go to eat, just line up in my line and I’ll give you more meat. "Sha Zhu said generously, it’s all about giving gifts based on relationships anyway.

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhu." Although Yan Jiecheng looked happy.

However, he murmured in his heart that except for a very few people, very few people in this compound were willing to go to that idiot Zhu for food.

This fool has a bad temper and doesn't give any attention to others.

Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu walking away, so he came over and said, "That chef has a problem with his brain and he just waves his hands. Don't get close to him.

Call me on your day off and I'll take you there. I know the place well."

Recently, the residents of the compound have been talking about Yan Jiecheng, a new employee of the steel rolling mill.

In that era, entering a steel rolling mill was a remarkable thing. According to common sense, the Yan family should celebrate.

But everyone knew the Yan family well, so they did not celebrate publicly. The only exception was Jia Zhang, who always mentioned the matter from time to time.

At the steel rolling mill, Liu Haizhong is now a team leader and his tasks are easier than before.

Not only does he have to be responsible for his own work, he also has to supervise fifteen or sixteen subordinates.

It must be mentioned that Liu Haizhong’s greatest strength is guiding newcomers, and most of the people in the group are his students.

Therefore, although he was sometimes arrogant, everyone felt that his team was running smoothly and did not take it too seriously.

On this day, Liu Haizhong

"There is something wrong with your approach. It's not in compliance with regulations, it's stupid and it's ineffective." Liu Haizhong, holding an enamel teacup, instructed the team members on their work.

"Just do it like me and pay attention. I hope I won't have to teach you how to do it personally next time." Liu Haizhong emphasized while demonstrating.

"Understood. Thank you, Team Leader Liu Haizhong."

Liu Haizhong snorted softly, then walked to another place with the teacup.

"Why did you get criticized by Fatty Liu? What happened?"

“He said I was doing it wrong and gave me some pointers.”

"Although Fatty Liu is unreliable, his skills are still good. It's right to listen to him." The older worker said loudly to the young workers.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Master."

Shaking a teacup in his hand and humming a discordant tune, he was giving instructions here and there in the group, as if he couldn't sit still.

Perhaps because he drank too much tea, he put the cup back on the workbench and told the newbie: "I have something to do in the bathroom. Please watch for me for a while. If you do anything wrong, I will come back and tell you."

"Okay, Master." The novice agreed respectfully.

"Hey, remember to call me Team Leader Liu next time." What Liu Haizhong really wanted now was for others to call him Team Leader.

"Yes, Master." The newcomer replied.

No longer in the mood to sing, Liu Haizhong hurried to the bathroom.

As he hurried to the bathroom, he accidentally noticed a piece of steel ingot swaying unsteadily in the pile of steel ingots in front of him.

Instantly, out of instinct, he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"

Using almost all his strength, he pushed away the two colleagues under the steel ingot.

"Ouch!" With a shrill cry, his calf was cut by the falling steel ingot, blood spurted out instantly, and he screamed in pain.

Although he was covered in wounds, he still saved two lives in a critical moment.

Unfortunately, one worker was not spared and was crushed under the weight of the steel ingot. The scene was horrific.

The workers around were first shocked by the sudden change, and then quickly reacted.

“Ah! Something happened!”

"Hurry and find the director!"

"Ouch, there's another person down there!"

"Don't just stand there! Come on, let's carry the steel ingots away together!" Although a middle-aged man looked pale, he still showed leadership in this occasion.

Seven or eight people rushed over together and worked together to lift the heavy object that was pressing on the worker.

But when they saw the situation of the man below, they knew it was extremely dangerous.

"Go and see how Team Leader Liu is doing!" Wang Shi, the man who was pushed away by Liu Haizhong just now, alertly helped up Liu Haizhong, who was sweating in pain.

The latter's calf wound was bright red and glaring.

The rescued Liu Qi also came to his senses and hurriedly helped Liu Haizhong press on the wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

"Someone come and help! The team leader is injured!" Liu Qi's shout attracted everyone's attention. After the shock of Liu Kai being crushed by the steel ingot just now, they immediately turned their attention to Liu Haizhong.

"Carry him to the infirmary, quickly!" Someone in the crowd immediately gave the order.

Several young and strong men quickly raised their bangs in pain and ran towards the workshop door. The workers inside the workshop made way for them.

It was during this critical moment that two workers, Wang Shi and Liu Qi, were rescued. While they were still in shock, they looked at Liu Kai, who was covered in blood and unrecognizable, and were so terrified that they could not even sit up or stand still.

It is hard to imagine whether they would have been in a similar situation without the help from Liu Haizhong.

"What's the situation? What happened?" The factory manager heard the urgent news at a meeting and hurried back to the workshop. Soon after, the other leaders also rushed to the scene.

Seeing the scene before them, they all turned pale, as if they had witnessed a horrifying scene.

The workshop director was loudly asking about the whole incident, but after witnessing such a tragic scene, he became speechless and his face turned pale.

Only Li Huaide remained relatively calm. He grabbed a team leader nearby and asked seriously, "What on earth is going on?"

The team leader looked at the deceased Liu Kai quietly, and said in a trembling voice: "The steel ingot suddenly fell, and Liu Kai was hit by it because he could not avoid it. Wang Shi and Liu Qi were pushed by Team Leader Liu, but they were also injured."

"Which Team Leader Liu are you talking about?" Li Huaide pressed on.

"It's Liu Haizhong." Someone next to him answered.

"How is he?" he asked again.

"The specific situation has not been confirmed yet. It looks like his leg was injured. He has been sent to the infirmary by several people." The team leader replied.

This news made the factory director and even the managers feel relieved.

For Li Huaide, he was secretly thankful for Liu Haizhong's quick reaction. If he had not pushed the two people away in time, this might have turned into a major tragedy resulting in three casualties.

At this time, the factory leaders had great respect for Liu Haizhong. For the workers on the production line, although the loss of a life was tragic, it would not have a devastating impact on the stability of operations.

"From the logistics side, please find someone to assist with handling the scene. We need to go see our team leader Liu Haizhong as soon as possible." Factory Director Yang gave the order.
