Yi Ping'an took a vacation for himself and took Shao Dongyang with him. He took the seventh-level engineer exam and Shao Dongyang took the tenth-level technician exam.

On the weekend after the exam, I took Yi Zhonghai and Yang Cuiyun to Xiangshan and first paid tribute to Li Guihua.

Yi Ping'an told her mother everything she could say about what she had done in the past few years, but of course she refused to tell her anything she couldn't.

Yi Zhonghai: Guihua, I will take good care of my son. You gave birth to a good son. It would be great if you were still alive.

Yi Zhonghai had feelings for Li Guihua. She was the wife he had prayed for. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished and they passed away early. Every day when he looked at his eldest son, he would think of his original wife. He could not forget her, but he just didn't say it.

Yang Cuiyun didn't say anything. She knew it was not appropriate for her to say anything in this situation, but she thanked Li Guihua from the bottom of her heart. She accepted it whether she was lucky or had a good life. She would repay her in her next life.

After paying tribute to Li Guihua, we all felt a little heavy-hearted, but we also understood that the dead are gone and the living are strong.

The family of three climbed the mountain and had a meal outside before returning to the courtyard.

But what Yi Ping'an didn't know was that while he was climbing the mountain, someone was talking about him.

Haizili

"Sir, this is the means of production for the special steel furnace, and it is also a gift from our Ministry of Industry to the motherland's birthday. Please take a look!" Minister Wang said solemnly.

"Oh, let me see, is it still that little guy?"

"Yes, including the engine last time, this kid has already given me too much shock." Minister Wang replied.

"Yes, it is a blessing for the country to have such ambitious young people!"

"Sir, how do you think we should arrange for him?" Minister Wang said.

"Well, let's keep it as it is, protect him, classify his file as top secret, and keep him in seclusion. This is also a form of protection.

Let him research whatever he wants to research, don't stop him. If he needs anything, help him solve it. If you can't solve it, let him know.

Let's go, let's go to the teacher and tell him the good news, so that he can be happy too." Then he walked out of the office.

In another office

"Teacher, take a look at this."

"Oh? Special steel? Are these data true?"

"It's true. It's just a small experimental furnace at the moment. I asked the little guy and he said it can be built into a 30-ton furnace. And by adjusting the concentration of oxygen and other gases, it can also produce steel of different materials. The quality is also of the same grade." Minister Wang said.

"Okay, with steel we can do great things. By the way, don't be stingy with the rewards for the little guy. Give him the rewards he deserves.

Oh, sir, haven't we issued a regulation on rewarding scientific inventions? Just reward the little guy according to that and protect him.

Let's give this technology to Shougang for trial operation first. Xiao Wang, you go and coordinate with Shougang and tell them not to be stingy. If you take someone's things, you should be polite to them. You can't bully them because they are young. "

"Yes!" Minister Wang replied.

(In 50, the Provisional Regulations on Patents and Awards for Scientific and Technological Inventions were issued. In 55, it was clearly stipulated that the first prize was yuan, but the money was divided among the team. I couldn’t find out whether there was a medal, so the author made one up to give it a sense of ceremony.)

Half an hour later, Minister Wang left and returned to the Ministry of Industry.

Ministry of Industry

Today, a guest came to Minister Wang’s office and said he came to give Yi Ping’an a gift. Minister Wang knew the visitor, so he sent someone to pick up Yi Ping’an and bring him to the department without saying a word.

When Yi Ping'an arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he was taken directly to the minister's office.

"Mr. Yi, come here. This is the state award for your invention of the engine and steelmaking furnace. It's 20,000 yuan in cash and two certificates of commendation. And this comrade is here to give you a gift as well."

Yi Ping'an looked at the person who came and knew at first glance that he was a soldier, although he was not wearing a military uniform.

"Comrade Yi Ping'an, this is a gift for you." As he said this, he handed the gift to Yi Ping'an with both hands.

Yi Ping'an also took it with both hands.

"Minister Wang, I'll take my leave now." The man nodded and walked out.

"Engineer Yi, why don't you open it and take a look?" Yi Ping'an and Minister Wang were the only two people in the office. Minister Wang said with a smile. He guessed what was inside, but still wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Yi Ping'an only said one sentence since he came in here, and that was to say hello.

"Okay, leader." Yi Ping'an was still a little confused and hadn't come back to his senses yet.

The gifts were two small wooden boxes, one square and one long.

When he opened the small square box, there was a science and technology medal inside. Yi Ping'an was stunned and his eyes were a little moist.

He opened the long box again, and inside was a calligraphy piece. After opening it, apart from the two inscriptions at the beginning and end, there were only six words "A strong youth means a strong country", and the signature was a teacher.

At this moment, Yi Ping'an could no longer hold back his tears, and they flowed down. He quickly wiped them with his sleeves. Looking at these six words, Yi Ping'an felt that this life was truly worth it!

Minister Wang was envious because he didn't have it. Teachers' calligraphy is not given away easily, so he patted Yi Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Yi, congratulations!" But his tone was a little sour.

"Thank you, Minister. I will continue to work hard and fight for the country all my life." Yi Ping'an was completely overwhelmed. He couldn't think of anything else at this moment. No one could remain calm.

Yi Ping'an was on his way back, holding the rewards and gifts. In fact, they were just for show. The things inside had long been stored in his space. What if they were lost? It was still better to use space insurance.

He went all the way back home. He didn't plan to go to the factory today. He was afraid that he would not be able to control his excitement. He wanted to frame the calligraphy. It was not only a family heirloom, but also a talisman.

From now on, as long as he doesn't sell out his country, no one can do anything to him, hum!

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard in the evening. He did not see his son after get off work today. He asked Shao Dongyang and found out that his son was picked up by the department, so he rode his bike back home.

When she got home, she found that her son had already returned. Her wife told her that her son had returned in the morning and asked her not to disturb him, but did not say what the matter was.

Yang Cuiyun didn't dare to ask. The head of the household had already told her not to ask nonsense questions and not to tell anyone in the courtyard. She knew everything.

Yi Zhonghai was puzzled. What was going on? Was there something wrong with his son? Thinking about this, he went to the cross-courtyard.

Yi Ping'an was reading a book in his small study. When he saw his father, he realized that everyone had gone off work. He read for the entire afternoon and finally calmed down his excitement.

He was really afraid that he would become arrogant, so he read a book to clear his mind.

When Yi Ping'an saw his father, he wanted to share it. This would be the glory of their Yi family from now on.

So he closed the door and locked it, which confused Yi Zhonghai. What was going on?

"Ping An, what's going on?" Yi Zhonghai looked serious.

"Dad, something big happened. Do you know how big it is? Let me tell you, the ancestral tomb of our Yi family is not just emitting smoke, it is directly on fire, do you understand?" Yi Ping'an was still a little excited.

"What's going on?" Yi Zhonghai obviously didn't know the joke. Of course, it was good enough for them to see some smoke coming out.

"Come, let me show you something." Yi Ping'an carefully opened the calligraphy and showed it to his father.

"What is this?" Yi Zhonghai didn't understand.

"Do you know who this is?" Yi Ping'an said, pointing at the signature.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

Yi Ping'an leaned over and whispered two words into his father's ear.

"Really? Are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to me?" Yi Zhonghai was immediately excited when he heard it. For the older generation, this was no less than "the destiny of heaven".

"Do you know who this is for?" Yi Ping'an pointed to the name in front again.

Yi Zhonghai still knew Haodaer's name.

"Is this your name?" Yi Zhonghai said in surprise.

"Well, someone from the department delivered it to me today. I didn't expect it. I've been excited the whole afternoon. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself if I went to the factory, so I didn't go." Yi Ping'an said to his father.

"Ping'an, you must keep this well. It's a family heirloom, you know?" Yi Zhonghai was too excited.

He could imagine that when he met his ancestors in the future, he would be able to hold his head high and not be afraid at all.

"Well, I was thinking of going to Liulichang Street during my break and finding a good mounting master to frame it and keep it as a family heirloom." Yi Ping'an said.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Put it away quickly. I'll go find some pillars and celebrate tonight." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai ran out. Yes, he ran.
