Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was June 1962.

During this period, people are busy with their own lives and work, and their days are plain but fulfilling.

Perhaps the best news these days is the issue of food rationing.

Because since the beginning of the new year, the country has adjusted the quota for urban residents.

And as time goes by, the previous food supply has now been fully restored.

This also means that food is no longer in short supply and the days when everyone has to tighten their belts are gone forever.

Therefore, Sun Zhengguo no longer supplies food to his relatives unless there is any special need.

That evening, just after dinner, Sun Zhengguo took his children and wife out for a walk.

While taking a walk, Sun Zhengguo held his son's hand, still thinking about the things at the institute.

Ever since he developed another precision machine tool years ago, he has been researching large machine tools. Just yesterday, all the parts of this gantry milling machine were completed.

This also means that the first domestically produced large-scale machine tool has entered the final countdown.

As long as we complete this gantry milling machine and then develop the gear hobbing machine, we can form a closed loop.

"Zhengguo, what are you thinking about? The courtyard is in front of us, do you want to go back and take a look?"

Before they knew it, the family of three had arrived at the courtyard.

Ning Xiaowei didn't want to disturb her husband's thoughts, but seeing that they were already at the doorstep, it seemed inappropriate not to ask.

"Oh! I was just thinking about something at work. Now that we're at the courtyard, let me go back and take a look."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he picked up his son and said happily: "Come on, son, Dad will take you home to see grandma."

"Look at grandma, look at grandma, look... look at Maomao, and... Xuanxuan."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing his son's childish voice, Sun Zhengguo was so happy that he couldn't help but have another intimate contact with him.

The hard stubble pricked the son and he cried out, "Daddy, hit my balls, Mommy, hit my balls."

"Hehehe!" Ning Xiaowei was also amused when she saw the play between father and son, and her son's unclear words.

"Okay, Mom will help Xiaojie beat the bad guys." After saying that, Ning Xiaowei pretended to pat Sun Zhengguo a few times.

"hehe……!"

When Sun Shujie saw his father getting beaten, he laughed cunningly with satisfaction.

Before they knew it, the family of three had arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Some people who were chatting at the gate saw Sun Zhengguo coming and took the initiative to greet him.

Sun Zhengguo did not put on airs and responded politely. When meeting young people of the same generation, he even made a joke.

After a few simple greetings, the family walked towards the yard.

When Lin Wencui saw her eldest grandson coming, she immediately stretched out her arms to hug him.

Sun Shujie was also quite considerate and also stretched out his hands, asking for a hug.

Sun Zhengguo handed his son to his mother, then looked at his sister and asked.

"Zhenghong, you're about to graduate, right? What are your plans?"

"Brother, I found you to be very considerate. I was planning to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own."

Sun Zhengguo didn't care as he watched his sister joking.

"Tell me! Where do you want to work? I'll tell you first. If it's too difficult, it's best not to ask."

Sun Zhengguo made a statement in advance so that if it failed, it would not be particularly embarrassing.

"Not difficult, not difficult. There is definitely no suitable position for me in your institute. Then I can go to the machinery factory!"

Sun Zhenghong was self-aware and did not want to join the Mechanical Research Institute, but instead chose the machinery factory closest to it.

For Sun Zhengguo, such a choice was not difficult at all. He just had to say hello to Director Li and recruit people in the normal way.

"By the way, have you discussed the matter with Wei Min after graduation?"

After talking about work, Sun Zhengguo asked about his sister's marriage.

"Brother, shouldn't you be the ones making the decision on this matter? Why are you asking me?"

Sun Zhenghong pretended to be innocent and asked Sun Zhengguo back.

"Haha!" Sun Zhengguo sneered, "Why do you think of asking us now? When you two were secretly dating, why didn't you ask me first?"

Sun Zhenghong originally wanted to retreat in order to advance and maximize his benefits. After all, the family put in a lot of effort when his eldest and second brothers got married.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother did not play by the rules and brought up the issue of her having a secret relationship.

"Mom, look at my brother. Why does he keep harping on these trivial matters?"

Sun Zhenghong began to look for external help, hoping to get support from his mother.

But Lin Wencui acted as if she didn't hear it. She didn't even raise her head. Instead, she spoke to her grandson.

"Be good, Xiaojie. When you grow up and want to find a wife, you must tell grandma, otherwise, grandma will spank you!"

OK! Mom is definitely implying something about me. It seems like she and my eldest brother are on the same side.

Sun Zhenghong knew that the two men must be trying to irritate her on purpose. A good woman would not suffer a loss in front of her, so she decided to move away first.

"Mom, brother, I have to go back to my room to fill out a form. I'm leaving now."

After Sun Zhenghong said this, he returned to the room before the two of them could react.

After she left, the mother and son in the room looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Everything was said without words.

In fact, the family has already discussed Sun Zhenghong’s marriage.

Lin Wencui was still willing to take out 1000 yuan, just like the two brothers did in the past, and give the money directly to Sun Zhenghong.

Sun Zhengguo only had this one sister, so the dowry he prepared consisted of three zhuan and one xiang, which he purchased separately.

But considering that Sun Zhengan's financial situation is not so good, and as the second brother, he is also willing to contribute.

So in the end the two brothers agreed that Sun Zhengguo would buy the bicycle and sewing machine, and the remaining watches and radios would be left to Sun Zhengan.

Sun Zhenghong doesn't know all this yet. If she knew, why would she bother with all this? Just make the arrangements as you see fit.

The next day, after Sun Zhengguo got to work, he first inspected the new workshop to check the production status of the two types of precision machine tools.

Now, we can produce about ten of each of these two types of machine tools every month.

Although this number is not large, it can already meet some domestic needs.

Now, in the field of precision machine tools, the country no longer needs to import existing machine tools from other countries, including Japan and India, in addition to its own production of machine tools.

This also means that the country can save a lot of foreign exchange every year, so Mr. Lai attaches great importance to this new workshop and does not feel sorry for investing more money.

After visiting the new workshop, Sun Zhengguo took a look at the workshop under construction next to it.

This workshop was reported by Sun Zhengguo after the New Year, and was later built with the special approval of General Lai.

Its only function is to produce large machine tools.

In Sun Zhengguo's words, this is called preparing for a rainy day. As long as the large machine tools are developed, we can produce them here.

After visiting these two workshops, Sun Zhengguo came to the institute's experimental workshop to see the large machine tools being assembled.
