Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

At noon, seven or eight leaders were sitting in a private room in the cafeteria of the First Steel Rolling Mill, toasting and drinking.

Anyone who can sit in this solitary room to eat is not an ordinary person.

They included three leaders from the Ministry of Metallurgy, three directors of steel rolling mills, Director Tang of the Iron and Steel Research Institute, and Sun Zhengguo.

During this period, the two ministers were very respectful and even personally toasted Sun Zhengguo, which made several factory managers very envious.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, Minister Wang's secretary walked into the room silently, took out a report and handed it to him.

"Leader, the quality of the steel has been tested. Please have a look."

Although the secretary's voice was low, everyone heard it clearly. Everyone fell silent, waiting for the final result.

"Great! This is a huge improvement in quality."

After reading it, Minister Wang clapped his hands on the table happily, and then handed the report to Deputy Minister Bai.

"Old Bai, you can see that Director Sun should be credited for this great success."

Deputy Minister Bai took the report, glanced through it quickly, and then happily passed it to the next person.

When the report was handed to Sun Zhengguo, he just glanced at it and handed it to Director Tang next to him.

Director Tang is a person who specializes in steel research. He is most interested in these data, so he looks at them very carefully.

After reading it, Director Tang had to admit that Sun Zhengguo was a genius.

Generally speaking, the quality of these finished steel products has already been determined, and the quality can be greatly improved through secondary processing. It can be said that the achievement is very high.

So he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Director Sun, this really opened my eyes. I'm curious, how did you do it?"

"It's just some minor changes, not worth mentioning, but I can't explain it at the moment.

Director Tang, if you really want to know, I will make a detailed report in the next two days and submit it to the Ministry of Metallurgy. You can go and take a look at it then."

After hearing Sun Zhengguo say there was a detailed report, Director Tang suppressed his curiosity and nodded repeatedly, saying "Sure, sure."

No matter what, we can learn from others' experience and maybe we can find a way to improve the quality of steel from the source.

At the same time, the banquet became more lively because of the arrival of this report.

Sun Zhengguo became the well-deserved protagonist.

After the meal, the group prepared to leave, but Deputy Minister Bai still had a lot to say to Sun Zhengguo.

But he was not in a hurry. They would meet again in the next two days anyway, so he could sit down and talk slowly then.

After seeing off the department leaders, Sun Zhengguo said goodbye and left the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill amid the thanks from Director Gao.

……

After returning to the research institute, Sun Zhengguo did not ask anyone else to do it for him this time, but chose to complete the report himself.

Because Zhang Yucheng did not participate in the research and development, there are many things that are difficult to describe in words, so he had to do it himself.

As a result, he had just written a piece of paper when Zhang Yucheng sneaked in again.

"Director, I just received a call. The department has decided to officially start construction of the branch factory the day after tomorrow. Minister Li will come in person to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony."

"Oh~!" Sun Zhengguo put down the pen in his hand and thought for a moment.

"Then notify the logistics department and the propaganda department and ask them to make preparations. Then inform all cadres that everyone must attend the day after tomorrow."

"Good director."

After sending Zhang Yucheng away, Sun Zhengguo continued to work on his report until the bell rang...

After returning home and having dinner in the evening, Sun Zhengguo thought of what his wife had said, so he prepared to take her to see Doctor Hu to check her pulse.

The grandfather who was watching TV didn't know what his grandson was doing, so he asked casually.

"Jungguk, where are you going?"

"Grandpa, Xiaowei might be pregnant again. Let's go find Doctor Hu to check her pulse."

"What?" Grandpa's voice instantly rose several degrees and he quickly stood up from the stool.

"Then there's no time to waste. Go quickly! We'll be waiting for your good news at home."

"What are you still standing there for? Xiaowei, go quickly! We will leave the child to us." Grandma also urged with a smile.

According to the older generation, the more people in the family, the better. They can support them anyway, so they can just have as many as they want.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Sun Zhengguo replied with a smile, then called Ning Xiaowei and walked out of the yard.

On the way to Dr. Hu's house, the couple walked and chatted all the way.

Ning Xiaowei was worried that she would not get pregnant and would be laughed at, so she decided to back out.

"Jungguk, how about we wait a little longer? I don't have any reaction now, what if...?"

"Wife, you're afraid of making a mistake, right? Don't worry, we can just say we feel uncomfortable in the stomach and let Doctor Hu take our pulse. We'll see what he says and it'll be a good opportunity to test his medical skills."

Ning Xiaowei was immediately delighted when she heard Sun Zhengguo's bad idea.

"Haha! Aren't you just going to cause trouble? How can you ask someone to feel your pulse without telling the cause of the disease?"

"Don't worry. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as you are pregnant, Doctor Hu will definitely not make a mistake. You will follow my instructions when the time comes."

Sun Zhengguo said with a solemn vow.

In fact, a sudden idea occurred to him just now. Since his mental power has the ability to penetrate, could he also see through the belly to see if his wife is pregnant?

But then I thought again, that wouldn’t work. What if my mental power was too strong and it hurt the baby in my belly?

In the end, Sun Zhengguo rejected this idea. Even if it was someone else's wife, he would not do such an experiment.

Soon, the two arrived at Doctor Hu's house, greeted each other, and were led to the small clinic next door.

After sitting down, Dr. Hu began to ask about the patient's condition as usual.

"Zhengguo, what's going on with your wife? Can you describe it?"

"Uncle Hu, my wife is feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so I would like you to take her pulse and see what's going on."

"Ok!"

Doctor Hu nodded without any doubt. He thought Ning Xiaowei had her period but was too embarrassed to say it.

Then he took out the pulse pillow used for taking the pulse and signaled with his eyes.

After Ning Xiaowei put her hand on, Doctor Hu placed two fingers on her radial artery, pressed gently, and felt the beating of her pulse.

Soon, Doctor Hu felt that the pulse was strong and powerful, beating smoothly and fluently, without any obvious pauses or blockages.

As a qualified old Chinese medicine doctor, if Dr. Hu didn't know what was going on, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

But he didn't stop. Instead, he changed his hand and tried again, but the result was the same.

At this time, Doctor Hu understood what was going on. He gestured that Sun Zhengguo could take his hand away, then looked at him with a smile.

"What's the matter? Zhengguo, are you going to test your uncle Hu's medical skills? But first, congratulations on becoming a father again."

"Really?"

Sun Zhengguo no longer cared about the embarrassment and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you...! Thank you, Uncle Hu."

"You are welcome."

While Doctor Hu was packing up the pulse pillow, he explained some specific details, things that needed attention, etc.

Sun Zhengguo and his wife also listened very carefully.

After finishing the treatment, Sun Zhengguo paid the medical fee and the two of them walked towards the courtyard.
