The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

It was Chinese New Year, and Li Yuan didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy.

"Okay, don't be emotional.

First, you can live a long time;

Second, when you ascend, I will toast them on your behalf, including you of course.

Moreover, I want to give birth to a few more children, and then the incense will be at its peak and passed on."

"I'm counting on you, but you still don't have a wife."

"Old Man Song, that's too much."

Uncle Song was silly and happy.

The ancients believed that others' pain was the starting point of their happiness.

The two of them just drank and talked in the dark.

Finally, Li Yuan got drunk and sang "True Hero", sending Uncle Song to sleep.

With Li Yuan's current physique, even if he drank more than a kilogram of liquor, he would still be slightly tipsy.

I took a bite of the dumplings stuffed with pork and pickled cabbage that Zheng Xia had given me, and cleared the table.

I went out and walked around the factory with a flashlight. After finding nothing unusual, I hurried back to the compound.

It was almost 12 o'clock at midnight, and at this time, every family walked out of the room.

A bonfire has been built in the open space in the front yard.

Everyone happily watched the flames rising there and prayed for a good start this year. Life can go by more smoothly and quickly.

The child was playing with a small whip, and the drowsiness that had just emerged had long since disappeared.

Before the flames went out, everyone wished each other a happy New Year and went home.

Yan Fugui was taking his two sons to put out the bonfire with buckets.

From every house, there were shouts of playing cards and mahjong.

"Yuanzi, I'll play cards at home later." Both the Yan family and the Sun family invited Li Yuan.

"Thank you everyone. Uncle Song from the work unit drank too much. I have to go back and help look after the factory." Li Yuan thanked him repeatedly.

"Motoko is really an honest child."

. . . . . .

Li Yuan took out five 5-shot firecrackers, hung them in front of the door, and lit them one by one.

The crackling sound attracted the children who were not sleeping, and they all came screaming.

Next to the firecrackers that were still going off, I looked for those that had their twists broken.

Returning to the unit, after another inspection, he lay down by the stove and fell asleep.

Get up in the morning, rush back to the compound, prepare peanuts and melon seeds, and wait for the arrival of the children.

After receiving the children, I went to sit with the elders in the courtyard again and said hello. This year has passed.

At noon, we had dinner directly at He Yuzhu’s house.

Tian Xiujuan has a big belly, and the birth period is only a few days. He Yuzhu is both happy and worried.

The days that followed were very uneventful.

He remained at home and began designing a 4-cylinder diesel engine.

Sufficient theoretical knowledge, coupled with the development and practice of single-cylinder engines, gave him great confidence.

After work, with the joint efforts of everyone, 4-horsepower and 8-horsepower engines were also manufactured.

In early February, Lu Xingyu contacted the testing agency.

The simple car pulled three engines, Li Yuan drove, and Lu Xingyu sat in the passenger seat, and rushed directly to the Kyoto Mechanical Institute.

Since only the frame and body are welded, the entire simple car is nondescript.

It looks like a convertible, but the engine is exposed and the rear butt is a body.

The only thing that can be related to cars is that they have 4 wheels.

As he swaggered through the city, except for some people who looked at him strangely, no one came forward to stop the car.

Kyoto Institute of Mechanical Engineering is located in Xiaozhuang, Chaoyang District, covering an area of ​​427 acres.

On July 1958, 7, the First Ministry of Machinery Industry decided to merge the Kyoto Machine Manufacturing School, the Kyoto Industrial Management School, and the Kyoto Cadre School to establish the Kyoto Machinery College.

The Mechanical Department in the school has relatively professional testing tools and is responsible for testing the main parameters of the three engines.

The receptionist was the department chair Wang Haoyu, a very kind middle-aged man who looked less than 50 years old.

When he saw the three engines, he kept sighing.

"It's so beautiful. Regardless of other parameters, the design and appearance have surpassed the mainstream single-cylinder engines in the West."

"Hehe, this was designed by the young man next to us. I didn't expect you to give such a high evaluation." Lu Xingyu smiled so hard that he couldn't even see the difference.

"I heard that he is the chief of the technical section of your unit. He is truly a hero."

"You are our top engine researcher in the country, and it is up to you to provide suggestions for improvement this time."

"It's really shameful. We are all learning. The little comrades have already walked on the right path."

The two of them were exchanging business blows, which made Li Yuan on the other side extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, we quickly entered the testing phase.

For five and a half days, I originally thought it was their test, and Li Yuan could just watch.

In the end, it was discovered that they really only understood theory.

Many of the instruments were not easy to use, and in the end Li Yuan had to join in.

While trying to test while reading the instructions, several people often argue for a long time about the test steps or methods.

Two teachers and five students in the laboratory work overtime every day.

Finally, before noon on Saturday, the test parameters of the three engines were obtained.

Under the same horsepower, the weight, volume, maximum torque, combustion rate, speed range and other indicators are better than the current common single-cylinder engines.

Whether they are imported or domestic imitations, these parameters are far inferior.

In particular, the combustion consumption rate is generally lower than other engines, with a decrease of 30% to 50% compared to other engines.

Director Wang couldn't believe it when he got this indicator.

"Oh, your engine not only looks good, but its performance is far superior to that of its peers. This is a bit scary!"

"Lucky", Lu Xingyu didn't know what to say.

Because current engines are generally rare, Lu Xingyu actually has no idea.

When he saw the authoritative test report today, he felt huge waves in his heart.

The next day, when everyone was resting, this enthusiastic report appeared on the desktop of a leader of the First Machinery Department.

This was an old man with mostly gray hair on his temples. He took the report and read it again and again.

Then his eyes turned to a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Xiao Hao, I didn't expect that your machinery factory has such strong design capabilities. No problem. I can consider giving you more people and resources.

As for how to apply, you don’t need me to teach you.”

“Thank you to the leaders for their understanding. To be honest, I didn’t expect them to develop so fast.

Originally, they had done a great job in the wrench series last year, but I didn't expect that they would come up with an engine again.

And it looks pretty good and will be of great help to our agricultural production.

The people below are trying their best, but I, as a leader, have to work hard to find you first. Thank you again for your support."

"You're welcome. Which large-scale projects are still under construction? They take up too much money, resources and talents, and we don't have the energy to do too many things related to people's livelihood.

This single-cylinder diesel engine is very good and can be used to derive a lot of agricultural machinery.

The development of industry cannot be separated from agriculture. If we can’t have enough food, how can we talk about invention and creation.”

“Yes, there are really too few agricultural machinery, and the development of many agricultural infrastructures relies entirely on manpower, which is not conducive to the rapid development of agriculture.

Especially in mountainous and hilly areas, large agricultural machinery is powerless.

With these small engines, many problems can be solved."
