Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, the new house was successfully completed before the New Year.

Qin Huairu stood in front of the brand new house, her eyes filled with tears of excitement.

This is not just the reconstruction of a house, but also the beginning of a new chapter in life.

With the joint efforts of Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, the construction of the Jia family's new house is proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, as the construction progressed, Yi Zhonghai found that it would be difficult to complete all the construction work before the end of the year with just the strength of just a few people.

In order to speed up the progress, Yi Zhonghai decided to convene a meeting of the entire hospital to discuss the reconstruction of the Jia family’s house and mobilize more residents to participate.

On the day of the meeting, Yi Zhonghai stood in the yard, his voice loud and powerful: "Everyone, we are gathered here today to discuss the reconstruction of the Jia family's house. This is not only a matter for the Jia family, but also a matter for all of us. We need to unite and complete this task together."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Yan Bugui stood up, expressed his support for Yi Zhonghai's proposal, and promised to provide help.

"My eldest son Jie Chengdu and I are willing to participate in the reconstruction work, and we will definitely do our part." Yan Bugui's promise won applause from everyone present.

However, everyone knew that Yan Bugui's actual purpose was to obtain rewards for being an advanced collective.

This award is very important to every family in the factory. It not only brings honor but also improves life.

Despite this, Yan Bugui's participation undoubtedly brought hope to the reconstruction work.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Haizhong also expressed his willingness to provide help and promised to provide two workers.

"We are all neighbors, and we should help each other. I also hope to contribute to the reconstruction of the Jia family." Liu Haizhong's attitude was appreciated by everyone, and his participation made the entire project go more smoothly.

However, when Yi Zhonghai asked Xu Damao if he was willing to participate, Xu Damao refused to participate with false reasons.

"I haven't been feeling well recently and the doctor told me to rest more. I'm afraid I can't help." Although everyone was disappointed by Xu Damao's refusal, Yi Zhonghai did not force it. He just nodded to show his understanding.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai turned his gaze to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei's opinion is particularly important at this time.

Yi Zhonghai asked him if he was willing to participate in the reconstruction work. Chen Fei pondered for a while, and then answered firmly: "I agree to participate. We are a team and should face difficulties together."

With the joining of Chen Fei, the atmosphere of the entire reconstruction work became more positive.

Everyone worked towards a common goal, which was to complete the construction of the Jia family's new house as soon as possible.

The construction site is always bustling with activity. People are either moving bricks or mixing mortar, and everyone is contributing their own efforts.

Yan Bugui and his eldest son Jie Cheng indeed fulfilled their promise. They often appeared on the construction site. They were not afraid of dirt or tiredness and completed every task conscientiously and responsibly.

The two laborers provided by Liu Haizhong also played a huge role, and their joining greatly improved work efficiency.

With everyone's joint efforts, the walls of the new house gradually rose and the roof slowly took shape, and everyone's face was filled with smiles of hope.

However, just when everyone was busy, Xu Damao's refusal to participate caused some controversy.

Some people began to doubt his motives, thinking that he might be afraid of hard work or worried about his own interests being damaged.

But no matter what, Xu Damao's non-participation did not affect everyone's enthusiasm, but made everyone more united.

While Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were busy rebuilding the Jia family's new house, Yi Zhonghai hoped that more people would get involved to speed up the progress.

He found Chen Fei, hoping that he could join the reconstruction team.

However, what Yi Zhonghai did not expect was that Chen Fei directly rejected his request.

"Uncle Yi, I'm already busy enough at work now. I'm afraid I don't have the extra time and energy to participate in building the house." Chen Fei's answer was straightforward and firm, which surprised Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai did not give up and tried to persuade Chen Fei to change his mind.

"Fade Chen, we are a team, and everyone has the responsibility to contribute to the collective. Moreover, this is also for the good of the Jia family. As a colleague, you should also lend a helping hand."

Chen Fei insisted on his position and gave his reasons.

"Uncle Yi, I know you mean well, but I think my job is just as important. I can't neglect my job just because I'm building a house."

Chen Fei's words revealed his dissatisfaction with Yi Zhonghai, and he even pointed out Yi Zhonghai's past behavior.

"You always like to arrange things for others, but you ignore their true thoughts. Are you helping Qin Huairu just out of kindness? Or do you have other intentions?"

Chen Fei's questioning shocked Yi Zhonghai. He didn't expect Chen Fei to think of him like this.

"My help to Qin Huairu was purely out of sympathy, without any selfish motives."

However, Chen Fei did not buy it. He expressed his dissatisfaction with Yi Zhonghai and suggested that Liu Haizhong might be more suitable for a leadership position.

"Although Liu Haizhong can be cunning sometimes, at least he won't force others to do things against their will. I think he is more suitable to be a leader."

When Liu Haizhong heard these words, he felt excited.

He walked over to Chen Fei and asked him if he really thought he was more suitable to be the leader.

"Fade Chen, do you really think I'm more suitable to be a leader than Master Yi?"

Fade Chen nodded, "Yes, I think you are more capable of leading everyone."

When Sha Zhu heard these words, he was filled with worry.

I am worried that these internal conflicts will affect the construction of the new house and Qin Huairu's future.

His expectation for Qin Huairu was simple, he just hoped that she could have a stable family and no longer worry about him.

However, the conflict between Chen Fei and Yi Zhonghai did not subside, but instead showed signs of escalating.

Chen Fei's attitude made Yi Zhonghai feel confused and helpless. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make Chen Fei misunderstand him like this.

The completion of the new house is not only a new beginning for Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, but also an improvement in the spiritual outlook of the entire steel rolling mill.

However, internal conflicts and contradictions also bring new challenges to this big family.

How to resolve these conflicts and unite as one has become a major issue facing them.

At the steel mill's full-yard meeting, the topic suddenly shifted from the construction of the Jia family's new house to the sensitive topic of who will be the next "big uncle".

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to discuss how to speed up the construction of new houses, but accidentally brought up this topic.

Liu Haizhong has always coveted the position of a great uncle. He has had ambitions for this, but has had no chance to express it.

Chen Fei's words inadvertently ignited a spark of hope for him.

Chen Fei once bluntly stated that he believed Liu Haizhong was more suitable for leadership than Yi Zhonghai.

This made Liu Haizhong feel something, and he began to seriously consider the possibility of fighting for the position.
