The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

To be honest, he was disturbed by Yan Fugui's words.

Looking at Li Yuan who was stunned, Yan Fugui blushed with embarrassment.

"Motoko, if it's really difficult, then forget it."

After saying that, he stood up and bent over and walked towards the door.

Looking at his back, the softness in Li Yuan's heart was touched.

"Third uncle, there is no problem. If there is a quota, it will be as you say."

"What? Don't be too embarrassed!"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's reply, Yan Fugui turned around suddenly and looked at him eagerly.

He nodded, and Yan Fugui murmured for a long time before just uttering two words, "Thank you."

Then he left the house with a mixture of shame and happiness.

Thinking about the past three years, only the Yan family in the whole compound provided a helping hand to the original owner during his most difficult moment.

He has little energy now, so he can't help but blame others. Besides, he is not short of money now.

There is no need to hesitate when doing things within your capabilities.

If it weren't for the fear that it would end badly if word got out, it wouldn't matter if I didn't want the money.

Yan Fugui returned home and was immediately surrounded by everyone asking questions.

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and sat on the back kang, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.

"It's done, Motoko agreed!"

"What? You said I'm going to have a job?!" Yan Jiefang hugged Yan Fugui's arm, tears flashing in his eyes.

"Don't get excited, Motoko promised to help ask, but whether it can be done depends on the wishes of their leaders."

He looked at Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, do you think this can be done?"

"Li Yuan has a high status in the factory and has a good personal relationship with the factory director. It is said that the problem is not big."

He looked at the expectant eyes of the family, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and then swallowed it back.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Yan Fugui felt reassured. Only then did he notice something unusual about his boss.

After thinking about it for a moment, he knew the general reason.

"Boss, this money was originally saved for you to get married, but this kind of opportunity may not come back in the future. If you miss it, you will miss it forever.

But don’t worry, from now on the three of us as a family will be able to save enough money for your wedding soon.

Besides, you are not very old and your current situation is not good, so it is not a good time to find a wife.

Wait for one or two years, and then let Matchmaker Wang find the best girl for you."

"Brother, this is a rare opportunity. If it happens, I will repay you well in the future." Yan Jiefang knew what to say at this time.

Yan Jiecheng looked at everyone and smiled helplessly, "As the eldest brother, I can still handle such a big thing, so you don't need to comfort me."

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Jiefang, this money was paid by your family for you, so the monthly interest is 5%. Do you have any objection to this?"

Yan Jiefang is now focused on getting a job. As for the interest, he takes it for granted because they have been doing this since they were young.

The next day, when Li Yuan went to work, he found Lu Xingyu.

"This matter, I was about to tell you that this matter is not suitable for a meeting, so I conveyed it verbally. Each of your section chiefs has a quota, and the factory charges 200 yuan.

As for what you said, I will give you a special approval, but he has to pay 500 yuan."

"Thanks to the leader, you can solve my big problem. It's all the uncles in the hospital. I'm in a dilemma."

"Okay, we are all brothers, your business is my brother's business."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Li Yuanyi returned to the office easily.

He had completed the design of the newly improved engine and originally wanted to use an air-cooling system.

But I learned that aluminum alloy is not suitable for casting yet, so I reluctantly gave up.

However, after re-optimizing the design according to the three-structure, four-system idea, he has more confidence in the new engine.

According to the output power, a total of 3 models are designed, namely 4 horsepower, 8 horsepower and 12 horsepower.

The drawings have been started and it is estimated that it will be almost completed in another half month.

The main reason why it's so slow is because everything has to be drawn by hand.

Even if you make a slight mistake, it will be very difficult to correct it.

Therefore, when drawing, you need to make calculations on white paper, and then draw a sketch to make sure it is correct before copying it onto a special drawing.

The specific method is to use carbon ink to draw the design drawings on sulfuric acid paper, and then dry the drawn sulfuric acid drawings through ammonia, ultraviolet light, developer and other techniques. This process is called drying.

Because the drawings formed by printing technology are blue, they are generally called ‘blueprints’.

Therefore, this work is very time and energy consuming.

This means that for him and others, it takes at least half a year for each specification of engine.

Half a year, that must be when there is a sketch.

When he returned home in the evening, as soon as he entered the yard, he met the third uncle who was waiting for him.

"Let's go and talk inside the house," Li Yuan greeted with a smile.

When Yan Fugui saw Li Yuan's expression, he immediately became happy and followed him into the east wing.

"Third uncle, we have already agreed, 600 yuan."

"Oh, it really happened! It's great, thank you Motoko, thank you Motoko."

When Yan Fugui heard the positive news, a big stone fell to the ground.

Both sons finally have jobs, and life at home will be more active in the future.

After seeing off the third uncle, Li Yuan paid attention to the movements outside the house while cleaning.

Hearing the news of everyone's return, Li Yuan released his thoughts.

After a while, I saw Liu Haizhong coming back alone.

He walked to the door, opened it, nodded from Bangzhong, and walked straight towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan let Liu Haizhong into the house, and a few minutes later, Liu Haizhong walked out of the house happily.

A week later, Li Yuan got the recruitment registration form and chose the opportunity to give it to the two uncles. With the overwhelming gratitude, he reluctantly accepted the 1250 yuan.

Among them, Liu Haizhong gave 650 yuan, and Yan Fugui gave 300 yuan in cash and 300 yuan in IOU.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and time soon arrives in January 1960.

The 12-horsepower drawing was completed first. After proofreading, the mold production began.

In order to ensure accuracy, Li Yuan made the parts with high precision requirements by himself. After 2 weeks, all the molds were formed.

In order to keep up with the progress, three senior foundry workers worked on it themselves. A week later, all the finished parts were placed in the assembly workshop.

Li Yuan assembled it himself, and it took only two days to complete the assembly of the 12-horsepower engine.

After adjusting the counterweight, the first launch was successful.

Chen Bing replaced the engine in the car and tried it personally.

After circling the factory area, Chen Bing jumped out of the car excitedly.

"Director, leaders, this engine is more powerful than the previous one, and as everyone has seen, the exhaust gas is much cleaner.

The biggest feeling is that when I step on the accelerator, there is not as much vibration as in the past."

Chen Bing chirped and pushed, and everyone's interest was aroused, and they took turns to test drive one by one.

After the whole experience, more than a dozen people gathered together and looked at Li Yuan in surprise.

When Li Yuan proposed re-optimizing the design, everyone didn't take it seriously and thought it was unnecessary.

If it weren't for Lu Xingyu's strong support, this plan would probably have been aborted.

Now seeing the finished product and comparing it with the previous product, everyone is impressed by Li Yuan's profound engine technology.
