Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

"Alright, alright!"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear it anymore and quickly stopped Jia Dongxu who was about to kneel down.

The fact that Jia Dongxu is still alive means that Yi Zhonghai has hope.

Life is inherently a gamble.

It's better to just give it a try.

"Master, do you agree?"

Jia Dongxu was elated.

Not to mention, Qin Huairu's idea was really clever.

She asked him to beg Yi Zhonghai and use the child as a bet.

Unexpectedly, I actually won the bet this time.

"Yeah. But I can only give it a try. My former apprentice should still be able to talk to him in the factory. If it doesn't work, I will shamelessly go to see Director Lou again. I can't guarantee the result."

"It's okay, it's okay. Master, as long as you can help, we will be grateful."

Jia Dongxu was visibly happy.

"Ah."

Yi Zhonghai turned around and left again.

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu was stopped again.

"Master."

"what happened again?"

"Can you give us half a bag of grain? I don't want much, just half a bag..."

"Didn't you just say you wanted to ask me for that one thing? Why did you change your mind so soon?"

Yi Zhonghai was anxious.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Jia Dongxu explained: "Our family is living on a mountain of food now, and we have a child. The adults can starve the child! Qin Huairu can't eat or have milk, and the child is hungry every day and screams. Can you just take pity on us?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it, although Xiaodang was a girl.

But she is a little baby after all.

He couldn't bear to watch a little baby starve to death.

"For the sake of the child, go to my house and get it."

"Thank you Master, thank you Master!"

Jia Dongxu limped and followed Yi Zhonghai.

Arriving at Yi Zhonghai’s kitchen.

He quickly poured half the bag of grain into his own bag.

Yi Zhonghai was a little unhappy seeing how prepared he was.

"Let's make an agreement first. If the compensation is really paid, you have to pay it back to me."

"Harmful!"

Jia Dongxu smiled again: "We are still talking about these things in our relationship?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at him with wide eyes.

But Jia Dongxu ran very fast on a crutch, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.

……

The first step for He Yuzhu to install heating is to modify the furnace.

He has worked very hard to restore the heating system of the [-]s, but unfortunately it is hard to buy such good materials outside.

Fortunately, the heating principle in this era is very simple.

It’s not that difficult to do.

"Dad, please stop the stove for a moment, otherwise our hands will be hot later."

"it is good."

He Daqing took action and obeyed.

"What is this thing that looks like a chimney?"

He Daqing asked while putting out the stove.

"This thing is a heater. Install it on the stove and go around the house. I bought a very long one to be on the safe side. Otherwise, anyone who accidentally touches it will get hot."

"Is this thing still hot to touch?"

He Daqing laughed after asking himself.

Can I still call for heating if it doesn't burn my hands?

"Let me tell you the principle. Have you seen this stove? Normally, this stove has a fire underneath and a kettle on top. When the steam is hot, our room will be warm. For the same principle, I will build two in total. One of the pipes has a plastic water container inserted into it, and the other is the heating pipe. When the water container is boiled, the water vapor will heat the heating pipe. After the pipe is heated, heat will be generated, and the entire house will It’s warm.”

"It's that simple?"

He Daqing asked in surprise.

"It's that simple."

He Yuzhu smiled.

"Then what are you waiting for! Let's get started!"

He Daqing's fighting spirit was instantly high. Let alone He Yuzhu, he could do this work alone. You see!

The two of you are busy here.

Gao Xiaocui led He Yuyu to the side to bring some tea and some water.

The way the family divides labor and helps each other makes the neighbors envious.

They were not afraid of the cold and stood at the door watching the excitement.

"Hey, do you think this thing can really be fixed?"

"It should be okay for He Yuzhu to take action, right?"

"I really didn't expect him to be so versatile. I just went to inquire about it. People who install heating outside earn a lot!"

"how much?"

"It's definitely no problem to earn hundreds of thousands a month."

"This technology is so valuable!"

"Nonsense! Who can install a heater in an ordinary house? Only powerful people can install such a thing!"

"He Daqing is truly blessed to have such a son!"

After a while of operations, He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief after completing the last step and said: "Okay! Now you can try the water first!"

"Test the waters?"

"Yup!"

He Yuzhu explained: "You have to open the valve to let the water pass through this thing. And it doesn't heat up so quickly, so you have to burn the stove for a while!"

"Great!"

He Daqing said happily: "Son, to be honest, you are more capable than dad!"

"This is called Yangtze River wave shooting, each wave is stronger than the last!"

"Ha ha!"

A family of four tested the waters amid laughter and laughter.

After all preparations are done, proceed to the formal heating.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly.

After about a while, He Yuyu suddenly shouted: "It's hot! It's hot! Brother!"

"Be careful! Don't burn it!"

He Yuzhu quickly pulled He Yuzhu down.

When the neighbors heard the shouting, they stretched their necks and looked inside.

"Zhuzi, is your heater ready?"

"It's amazing!"

"Can we take a tour?"

"How did you do it?"

He Yuzhu declined politely: "It's getting a little warmer now. When you open the door, the heat will run away. Let's look back again!"

After that, He Yuzhu closed the door.

A family of four sat around in a warm heated room, listening to the radio and eating roasted sweet potatoes.

After the heat came up, it was in sharp contrast to the ice and snow outside.

The glass windows of He Yuzhu's house are foggy.

The neighbors refused to leave despite the cold weather, stretching their necks to look inside.

"There's even water vapor! It's so hot just by looking at it!"

"It would be great if our family had this thing!"

"I'm so jealous!"

Liu Haizhong was passing by at this time. When he saw the neighbors watching, he came over curiously and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the heating at He Yuzhu's house!"

Neighbors all said, "He Yuzhu installed a heater, and it's so warm in the house!"

"Look inside, the windows are fogged up."

"The family is gathered around the heater, listening to the radio and eating roasted sweet potatoes. How happy it is!"

Liu Haizhong looked inside.

My eyes suddenly turned red. The whole family was neat and tidy, and the days were getting more and more prosperous, which made others envious!

But what about your own home?

Liu Guangqi didn't even come back.

It looks like the new year is coming.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong walked back home. When he arrived at the deserted doorstep, he suddenly made up his mind: Liu Guangqi must come back for the Chinese New Year this year!
