The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

After deceiving his wife into lameness, she no longer thinks about other things.

Because I don’t want her to know about my resignation yet, I want to wait until I get back from Xiangjiang and achieve results before I can honestly explain it.

For so many years, Li Yuan was the worst, and he was also the director of the scrap station. His income and benefits were among the best in the yard.

At the same time, she has many friends, so she has never worried about her livelihood, and she has great trust in Li Yuan.

Two years ago, he was transferred to the National Semiconductor Laboratory, with a technical level of Level 3 and director-level treatment.

Therefore, she is full of hope for the future.

If she were suddenly told now that Li Yuan would quit his job.

Maybe she won't say anything to his face, but she will definitely be very sad secretly.

Nowadays, their job is a guaranteed job, and they will be extremely panicked about losing their job. It is unimaginable for those who have not experienced it.

But times are quietly changing. As more and more people start small businesses, everyone's life is gradually becoming easier.

This year’s Spring Festival gives everyone the most profound feeling: everyone can buy enough new year’s goods.

After Uncle Song had New Year's Eve dinner, he returned to the scrapyard.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuan sent his wife and children to his mother-in-law's house. He only stayed there for half a day before returning to the compound.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I bumped into several people.

Several people stopped and looked at each other.

The woman opposite seemed to have been wronged so much that she burst into tears soon.

The others were aroused and their eyes were red.

Li Yuan suppressed his excitement and said, "Let's talk in the room!"

It was Senior Brother Gong, Senior Sister Huang, Liu Yang and Hao Wei who met at the entrance of the hospital.

This was the first time Li Yuan and them met after they separated.

After several people hugged each other, they entered the room, and Li Yuan hurriedly poured tea for them.

"Old leader, we miss you so much." The first person to speak was his "closed disciple" Hao Wei.

Others also nodded.

Huang Yan leaned on the shoulder of Liu Yang, who was younger than her, still sobbing.

"Why did you meet each other today?"

Li Yuan's voice was also trembling, and the loneliness for many years seemed to be suddenly aroused. This was really a big surprise.

"It was Senior Brother Gong who contacted us," Hao Wei replied.

"Only the three of them have been contacted, and the others have not been contacted. After the separation, everyone was far apart. Only the four of us were around Kyoto."

Senior Brother Gong continued to explain.

"For so many years, we have stayed at the work unit and rarely returned to our home in Kyoto. We have settled down in the work unit.

They were allowed to come back during the Chinese New Year, but they were not allowed to visit relatives and friends. They were suddenly allowed to do so this year.

I asked several of them, and they all had the same request." Senior Brother Gong explained to them the reason why they had not come to visit him for so many years.

"Just come back! Just come back! What are your jobs now?"

"I'm working on chips now. Since I left the laboratory, I haven't worked on a lithography machine. I still use that version." Senior Brother Gong looked indifferent.

"I am also designing chips, and I have been focusing on weapons in the past few years." Huang Yan finally calmed down.

"Me too, in the same situation as Senior Sister Huang," Liu Yang said in his usual gentle tone.

"I have not changed. I have been writing code. Unfortunately, most of it has nothing to do with the operating system. The operating system only adds a few patches."

After listening to what they said, Li Yuan smiled on the outside, but felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

At the beginning, these were the seeds in the semiconductor system, a group of people who could drive China's semiconductor technology to soar.

It can be seen from their situation that they have basically stood still in recent years.

"Leader, what about you, have you come up with anything great in the past few years?" Hao Wei asked proactively.

"I've been doing pretty well in the past ten years or so. I've been studying computers, and I can say I've made some small breakthroughs."

He briefly explained the situation in the past two years. All four of them felt incredible about resigning.

Li Yuan smiled and did not continue the discussion on this topic, but turned to business.

"One day in the future, when I need you, will you continue to fight side by side with me?"

The four of them expressed their willingness one after another, but they hesitated to speak.

It was Senior Brother Gong who took the lead in explaining again, "You also know our work situation, we are willing to do it.

Don't say you are a private company, even a research institute, it is difficult for us to transfer you."

The other three nodded.

"Don't worry, it's not a recent thing. It will take half a year anyway. As long as you are willing, you don't have to worry about the transfer."

"If we have a good relationship, it's more fun to work with my junior brother." Huang Yan seemed unhappy at work.

"Yes, that kind of research and development speed is still like a dream. I have wasted these more than ten years without making any progress," Liu Yang said.

"It's okay for you, you are all in the same field, but I was forced to start chip design. If I didn't have experience in the laboratory, I probably wouldn't be able to meet their employment needs."

Everyone discussed the past ten years enthusiastically.

Li Yuan looked at the time, stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll prepare a few dishes, and I must drink well today."

"That's great, we have always been greedy for the old leader's skills," Liu Yang said happily.

"I think you are greedy for junior brother's meat!" Huang Yan teased.

Knowing that Li Yuan likes help from others, they chatted in the living room.

They are all cooked food. They only need to be heated to make delicious meat dishes. Then two vegetables are stir-fried, and six vegetables and one soup are served.

"Looking at the plates full of food, everyone was very happy, as if they had regained the feeling of working together in the past."

Li Yuan poured good wine for everyone, white for men and red for women.

"For the lost youth!" Huang Yan picked up the wine glass and looked at Li Yuan's face.

"Bah, junior brother, you don't count, come on, come on, for our lost youth!"

Huang Yan looked at Li Yuan's face that hadn't changed much and sighed.

Others followed suit, and Li Yuan got used to it. He picked up his cup and clinked it with everyone one by one.

While it was busy, there was a knock on the door and it was Yan Jiefang who came in.

"Oh, it's you. I just came from my mother-in-law's house. I wanted to have a drink with Brother Li, but I didn't expect to meet a few of them."

Yan Jiefang had a look of surprise on his face. Although he was not familiar with these people, he could meet them occasionally, especially when taking over the PCB production line, but Senior Brother Gong taught them step by step.

Li Yuan brought him some bowls and chopsticks, poured some wine on him, and invited him to sit down at the table.

After years of training and the attention of the factory, Yan Jiefang is now generous when facing everyone.

"Brothers and sisters, I salute you all," Yan Jiefang raised his glass and toasted respectfully.

They are all high-tech and have no airs, so they responded one after another.

After toasting three times in a row, Yan Jiefang bid farewell.

"The young man is not bad. It looks like you are attracted to him," Senior Brother Gong also joked.

"We grew up together. We know each other well. We are willing to learn and work hard. We have been engaged in management work and will be able to help me in the future."

"I remember there is another one that you seem to value more," Huang Yan asked.

"Yes, my name is Liang Zhixiang, and I come here every year. It's probably tomorrow."

"That young man is honest," Senior Brother Gong commented.

A group of people chatted for a long time and drank a lot.
