Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Apart from instructing Wu Cheng, Zhao Shanhe has nothing to do every day. He can only read books and drink tea.

Time flies, and it is already the end of August.

The logistics director has been replaced, and Director Zhang has become the director of the branch factory.

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Come in," Zhao Shanhe answered from inside after hearing the knock on the door.

"Old Zhang, you are very popular now. I heard that you have made the branch factory flourish. How come you have time to come to my little temple?" While speaking, Zhao Shanhe stood up and poured water for Director Zhang.

"Shanhe, my Chief Engineer Zhao, you have to help your brother. Your drawings are very detailed and the parts have been produced, but I just don't know what's wrong. No matter how I assemble them, they don't fit properly," said Lao Zhang.

"There are no technicians in the branch factory. We can just follow the drawings," Zhao Shanhe asked puzzledly.

"Forget about the damn technicians. There isn't even one researcher. They are all the same technicians from the former farm machinery factory. They are so old and haven't made any progress. Otherwise, the farm machinery factory wouldn't be in such a state of decline.

Now we are reorganizing the combine harvester factory, but these people don't know anything and are still doing research. They are just eating for free. It makes me so angry. I am trying to poach people now. If it weren't for your high level, Shanhe, I would have poached you." Director Zhang felt aggrieved like a child.

"At first I thought it was a gilding operation, but it turned out to be such a mess. No one wants the products produced before, and after the reorganization, they can't be assembled. I'm really overwhelmed now. Shanhe, you have to help me no matter what." Director Zhang felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, you have helped me a lot in the past. Since you have asked me to help, of course I have to help. My wife's due date is in a month, and I can only be gone for two weeks at most," said Zhao Shanhe.

"Okay, no problem. Two weeks is enough. As long as we sort it out, thank you in advance, bro," said Director Zhang.

"Then I'll go there tomorrow morning. You arrange a place for me to stay. Your place is a bit far from where I live, and it's a bit inconvenient to go home. I'll arrange the house and pack my things later," said Zhao Shanhe.

"Of course, that's no problem. I know you're a man of honor. I've already arranged a house for you. I'll find a car to pick you up tomorrow morning," said Director Zhang.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Director Zhang drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, and then left.

"Wu Cheng, come with me to the branch factory tomorrow morning. There is a problem there. It's a good opportunity for me to take you there to learn something. You can go home now and tell your family," Zhao Shanhe found Wu Cheng and said, practice is the best teacher.

Zhao Shanhe went to Li Huaide again to report to him.

"Shanhe, Lao Zhang has had a hard time too. He also came to me to ask for people. It seems that the branch factory is indeed in trouble. It's a good opportunity for you to go and help him," said Li Huaide.

"There is one more thing. After I leave, my wife will be suspended from work. There is still a month left," Zhao Shanhe said.

"Okay, no problem. When you're done, ask Section Chief Wang to bring the note over. I'll approve it," said Li Huaide.

Zhao Shanhe went to the Propaganda Department to find Qin Jingru again, "Jingru, you don't have to go to work from today. I have already suspended you. I will give this note to your Section Chief Wang later. I will go to the branch factory for a while tomorrow. You pack up now and we will go home."

"Aunt Chen, I have to go to the branch factory for a while tomorrow morning. Let Jingru stay with you at night. Please help take care of her," Zhao Shanhe said to Aunt Chen.

I have packed my things and arranged everything at home.

The next day, Zhao Shanhe and Wu Chengjiu were taken to the branch factory.

The technical staff of the branch factory did not expect that the chief engineer of the main factory was so young, but they also heard that the restructuring of the agricultural machinery factory was his credit, so no one dared to look down on this young man.

The problem was simple and was dealt with quickly, and the technical staff of the branch factory were trained.

Two weeks later, Director Zhang sent Zhao Shanhe back home.

When she got home, Qin Jingru was making clothes for her children while listening to the radio.

Time slipped away again, and the due date soon arrived. Zhao Shanhe planned to send Qin Jingru to the hospital in advance, so that nothing would be too late by then.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has complete supporting facilities, including a school, where Yan Bugui teaches, which is also affiliated with the steel rolling mill, and an affiliated hospital.

"Brother Li, my wife is about to give birth. Can you please give the affiliated hospital a heads up and ask them to send a car to take her there?" Zhao Shanhe came to Li Huaide for help.

"No problem, it's just a small matter. I'll call the hospital to make the arrangements right now. You just go there and tell them your name. The car will be available right now." Li Huaide made the arrangements very quickly.

When we got home, Aunt Chen had already packed everything, including the thermos, teacup, lunch box, children's clothes, and a blanket for the children. She also took the radio.

Aunt Chen supported Qin Jingru, and Zhao Shanhe carried the things and went to get on the bus.

"Jingru is about to give birth, so she should go to the hospital first. After all, hospitals are more professional," Zhao Shanhe said to the third aunt.

The third aunt lived opposite and asked Qin Jingru when she saw her about to go out.

As soon as Zhao Shanhe left, the third aunt hurried to the Intermediate Court to deliver the news.

There were only these women left in the yard now, and they all sounded very jealous.

The third aunt said, "I have given birth to four children, all in the house. I found a midwife, and the children were born anyway."

"Who says it's not true? Aren't all children born in the house?" said the second aunt

"Qin Huairu was the only one who went to the hospital before. Her water broke and she couldn't find a midwife, so she found a cart to take her baby there. Jia Zhang was bragging for a long time that her grandson was born in the hospital," said an old lady.

"Not to mention going to the hospital early, guess what I saw. There was a car at the door. That was a car that only leaders could ride in, and Qin Jingru got on that car," the third aunt emphasized to everyone.

"I've never ridden in a car before," said an old lady

"I haven't sat on it either," they all started talking at once.

"Let alone a car, I've never even ridden a bicycle. The Zhao family has five bicycles. These Zhao brothers are amazing," an old lady said sourly.

In the car, Qin Jingru looked at it curiously and found everything new.

"Brother, can you ask the driver to take me around before going to the hospital? This is my first time riding in a car." Qin Jingru looked at Zhao Shanhe with eager eyes.

Zhao Shanhe wanted to transform into the Northwest Hammer King and give this woman a good beating. This broken car doesn't even have shock absorbers, but she doesn't even mind the bumpy ride. She's pregnant but instead of going to the hospital, she's just thinking about showing off.

"No, just go to the hospital. If you get hurt, I'll show you how I can deal with you," Zhao Shanhe said.

"Brother, can you drive slower? I want to sit for a while longer," Qin Jingru said as a compromise.

The driver slowed down upon hearing this.

"Brother, I want to ask you for one thing. After giving birth, can you also take a car when you go home?" Qin Jingru said again

Zhao Shanhe held his forehead helplessly. If his wife wasn't pregnant, he would have beaten her up.
