Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

In the evening, in the Sun family courtyard, the family was having dinner and the grandfather and grandson were drinking wine.

As usual, grandpa told some interesting stories.

"Do you know? There is big news in Siheyuan today. I heard that Xu Damao's wife is pregnant."

"what?"

Except for grandma, everyone else at the table looked surprised.

Who is Xu Damao? He is a typical infertile man, so how did his wife get pregnant?

Could it be test tube baby?

Sun Zhengguo then denied this idea because this technology is not available in China, let alone foreign countries.

It was rare to hear gossip about old classmates, so he asked one more question.

"Grandpa, didn't they say Xu Damao was infertile? Then the Xu family can't have no explanation, right?"

"There must be an explanation, otherwise it would be a mess. I heard that drinking Chinese medicine every day had an effect, but I don't know the details."

After listening to his grandfather's explanation, Sun Zhengguo nodded and didn't ask any further questions. After all, it was none of his business and he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He just listened for fun.

As for where the child came from? It's none of my business.

……

Nothing major happened in the following days.

Apart from participating in the spring assessment work, Sun Zhengguo also does research when he has nothing to do, and his life is quite fulfilling.

The relatives at home also worked very hard. All those who took the assessment passed, and those who were entitled to a house basically got one.

Even Sun Zhengnan and his wife were given two rooms and moved out completely.

……

Not long after that, Qin Huairu completed the transformation and returned to work at the steel mill.

Of course, the factory prepared a special "welcome ceremony" for her and organized a public meeting to give her severe criticism and education.

In the center of the stage at the venue, Qin Huairu stole the limelight once again. The tall hat and big brand were her standard equipment, and there were thousands of spectators below.

After this conference, she became a celebrity in the factory, to the point where everyone knew her.

Afterwards, she was assigned to the cleaning team, specifically responsible for the women's restroom in the factory, where she was accompanied by flies all day long.

By the way, although her working environment is bad and it stinks all day long.

But there are still some old bachelors in the factory who like to lean on the upper level when they have nothing to do, and they all want to taste that stinky pickle.

If Qin Huairu hadn't become the focus of attention now, there might have been some romantic scandal.

……

Slowly, time came to the end of July 65, the hottest summer day.

The institute's antenna branch has been successfully delivered and put into use, and has been in trial production for more than a month.

The first batch of 5000 antennas had already been sent to various parts of the country a few days ago, awaiting the final sales results.

At the same time, the first batch of finished antennas had already been sent to Hong Kong Island, where comrades from the Hong Kong Xinhua Branch applied for an international patent on their behalf.

Currently in progress...

On this day, Sun Zhengguo inspected several workshops as usual as soon as he got to work.

Next was the workshop of the machinery factory, and finally we arrived at the antenna factory.

"Captain, here to inspect again."

Zhou Weimin is still the same as always, working on the front line from the start of construction to now.

It can be said that he made the greatest contribution to the construction of the entire factory from scratch.

"Wei Min, after more than a month of adjustment, the workers' output should have increased significantly, right?"

While Sun Zhengguo was asking questions, he did not stop and walked forward leisurely.

Zhou Weimin always kept half a body distance away and followed closely behind.

"It has indeed increased a lot. Compared with the initial establishment of the factory, the output has increased by at least 30%. However, there is also a large backlog in the warehouse. Director, I am worried...?"

Sun Zhengguo certainly knew what Zhou Weimin was worried about.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Even in his dictionary, there is no word "but".

Then he said domineeringly.

“No buts, we finally built the branch factory, even if it is just a pile of mud, I will prop it up on the wall.

Remember, we must not only live up to the organization's expectations of us, but also live up to the great trust placed in us by the organization, and not let the people's money go to waste."

"Yes, yes, yes. The director is really conscious. I need to learn more from you. This calm and composed style of handling things."

Zhou Weimin nodded repeatedly in agreement, but Sun Zhengguo didn't buy it.

"Stop flattering me and stop flattering me..."

……

The two of them are now old hands in officialdom and they have their own way of speaking.

They walked into the workshop while talking.

Looking at the busy figures of the workers, even when the leader came, they didn't look up and continued to work.

This made Sun Zhengguo very satisfied.

He even saw two familiar figures in the crowd.

These two people were former neighbors in the courtyard. When the branch factory was recruiting workers, they were fortunate enough to be recruited into the factory and became a great working class.

Speaking of these two workers, there was an interesting story.

Because Sun Zhengguo lived in the courtyard, the subdistrict office took special care of him and gave him two job vacancies when recruiting.

This would have been a good thing, but when Officer Zhang announced the quota, the two lucky winners burst into tears on the spot, confusing the cadres of the street office.

Why are you crying after getting this precious spot?

Afterwards, Secretary Zhang found out that the two people were very happy because the benefits of the institute were too good.

This is just like people in later generations. How could they not be happy when they got jobs in tobacco, electricity, etc. units?

After the two men inspected the workshop, Sun Zhengguo gave a few more instructions before returning to the research institute.

As a result, as soon as he entered the office, Chen Wanchun came to the door.

"Director Sun, I have already completed the rough sketch of the engine. Please help me improve it. If there is no major problem, we can move on to the next step! After all, it has been delayed for a long time."

"Did it take a long time?"

Sun Zhengguo said jokingly.

"Old Chen, I remember that FAW started doing this in the 1950s, but the results seem to be just average. How long have we been doing this?

Besides, we have also added electronic fuel injection technology and multi-valve technology this time, so why did it take so long?"

“Uh…?” Chen Wanchun was speechless, and it seemed to be true.

I don’t know when it started, but I seemed to be led by the rhythm.

Seeing that the new machine tools developed by Sun Zhengguo were as easy to make as dumplings, I thought that other research would be the same.

It seems that you are really aiming too high.

Quickly adjusting his mood, Chen Wanchun continued.

"Well, Director Sun, I just made a slip of the tongue, but the drawing has indeed been completed. Please correct me if you can."

"Okay! Lao Chen, you put the blueprint here, I'll study it, I don't think it will take a few days to finish it."

"Thank you, Director."

Chen Wanchun didn't hesitate. He put down the drawings and went back to the laboratory. There was still so much work waiting for him!

In the past two years, as Sun Zhengguo's fame has grown, there is now a endless amount of work to do.

Things like machine tools, engines, rolling mills, generators, cranes, etc. are all within their business scope.

I really can't get away.
