Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Chapter 24 Arrival

"Marry her? Hehe, it's not that easy!"

He Daqing shook his head, flicked the ash off his cigarette butt and said, "You know, your aunt passed away five years ago. I can say that I am both a father and a mother and raised two children. I want to find someone who can understand my feelings, but Xiaobai disagrees. She wants me to go to Baoding with him!"

As he said this, he sighed: "I have two children at home. How can I go to Baoding with her? If I go, what will happen to my two children?"

"So I've been keeping her hanging, hoping she'll agree to stay!"

As He Daqing spoke, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

After hearing what He Daqing said, Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment. It seemed that the plot was wrong. Wasn't He Daqing seduced by the White Widow? How come He Daqing was hanging with the White Widow now?

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian asked, "Uncle He, what do you think?"

If this was the truth of the matter, he didn't believe that someone as smart as Uncle He would not be able to see through the White Widow's thoughts.

"It's very simple, just drag it out! I'm a man, I can afford to wait, but Xiaobai is different, she's a woman and she can't wait. As long as I drag it out until she doesn't want to wait any longer, then she'll have no choice but to follow me!"

As He Daqing spoke, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

Looking at He Daqing's smug expression, Zhou Tian was suddenly speechless. If the White Widow was from Sijiu City, perhaps this would be a good idea, but you have to know that the White Widow is not from Sijiu City.

If she gets angry, she will go to the military officer's meeting and accuse He Daqing of rape, and then Uncle He will be finished. After all, the White Widow's home is not in the Forbidden City where she can do whatever she wants. The worst that can happen is that her reputation will be ruined.

"Uncle He, have you ever thought about this? If you keep her hanging like this, what if she goes to the military officer and sues you? What will you do?"

Zhou Tian asked.

"No way! Xiaobai wouldn't do that!"

He Daqing shuddered suddenly and stood up to explain that he had never thought about this problem. In this day and age, rape can be punishable by shooting.

"Uncle He, if you let her choose between you and her child, will she choose you?"

Seeing that He Daqing still didn't believe it, Zhou Tian immediately asked another heart-wrenching question.

"this......."

He Daqing was speechless for a moment. He was not a stupid man and naturally knew what children meant to parents in an ordinary family.

"Uncle He, if the White Widow uses this to threaten you, what do you think you can do?" Zhou Tian asked again.

“This, this, this…”

He Daqingche was completely speechless for a moment. Obviously, he knew that if the White Widow really went to the Military Officers' Council to sue him, then he would definitely not be able to escape.

"This is how to do?"

It has to be said that He Daqing is still very sober now. He has not been controlled by the White Widow yet, so naturally he is not willing to leave the city and leave his children to go to Baoding.

"Xiaotian, what do you think I should do?"

He Daqing only then began to panic.

"Uncle He, the most important thing now is to stabilize the White Widow. At the same time, this matter must not be known to others. Then, after you stabilize the White Widow, you can have a good talk with her and find out what she really wants. At worst, you can just give her some more money! Send her back and part ways in peace!"

Zhou Tian thought about it.

"Okay! Let's do it! I'll go find Xiaobai right now!"

He Daqing clapped his hands, said this, then turned and left in a hurry.

"This Uncle He! He clearly didn't marry a virgin girl, but instead seduced a widow. I don't know what he was thinking!"

Zhou Tian shook his head and said to himself.

After saying that, he looked outside and saw that it was getting dark, so he shouted into the house, "Second brother, third brother, and little sister, it's time to wash your feet and go to bed!"

"I know, brother!"

My second brother's voice came from the room.

After Zhou Tian finished shouting, he scooped out the hot water in the pot with a ladle, poured it into a basin, carried the basin upstairs, and put it in his second brother's room.

"Second brother, after you finish washing, bring the water to third brother and little sister!"

Zhou Tian gave a few instructions, then went downstairs, closed the door, went into his room, turned on the light, and continued reading.

Although the 15-watt light bulb is not bright, it is still enough to see clearly.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Tian felt sleepy, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.

The next day.

Zhou Tian prepared breakfast for Sanxiao as usual. After Sanxiao finished eating and went to school, he still walked towards the steel mill alone.

Entered the factory.

"Morning, Master Zhou!"

"Master Zhou!"

Along the way, Zhou Tian continued to respond to the workers' enthusiastic greetings and walked into workshop No. 2.

"Master Zhou, this is your workpiece for today!"

An apprentice took the workpiece assigned by the workshop director to Zhou Tian in advance.

"Ok!"

Zhou Tian took a look and saw that it was still the rough blanks of gun barrels, and the number was much more than yesterday. He nodded to the apprentice and placed the workpiece next to the machine tool. Then he started the machine tool. He still got familiar with the feel and practiced first. After processing a few simple parts, he took the gun barrel and continued processing.

As he became more and more proficient in the work, he worked as if inspired by God. In less than ten minutes, a gun barrel was completed.

At this time, the workers who were working walked into the workshop chatting and laughing. Seeing Zhou Tian who was busy, they stopped talking at the same time, went to their respective workstations, and started the machine tools. In an instant, the sound of machine tools rubbing against workpieces in the entire workshop resounded throughout the workshop.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During these three days, because the gun barrel of Lou's Steel Rolling Mill was stable and accurate, it received recognition from the superiors. All the tasks of some factories that did not meet the standards were given to Lou's Steel Rolling Mill.

This made the workload of the entire Lou's Steel Rolling Mill more arduous. As the master chef of the steel rolling mill, Zhou Tian's workload also increased, although his locksmith skills were not the best in the steel rolling mill.

But when it comes to the accuracy of the barrel rifling, he is the best.

For three days, he didn't even have time to read. He worked in the steel mill until nine o'clock, and sometimes even worked overtime until ten o'clock in the evening.

In order to cope with the increasing workload of the steel rolling mill, Lou Jiancheng also began to find ways to provide a lot of meat to the canteen, dividing the canteen into two shifts to continuously supplement the nutrition for the workers.

As for Sanxiao, Zhou Tian also asked Uncle He Daqing to help him. For the time being, he had no time to ask about the matter between Uncle He and the White Widow.

Three days later, at the steel mill.

It's not even nine o'clock yet.

Several large trucks suddenly stopped at the gate of the steel mill, and soldiers wearing PLA uniforms and holding rifles jumped off the trucks one after another.

They soon lined up and stood there neatly. A solemn atmosphere instantly swept over them.

The faces of the leaders of the steel rolling mill who were waiting in front of the gate changed slightly, especially Lou Jiancheng, who was in the lead, whose face flashed an unpleasant look.

"Director Lou, we have been ordered to report to the steel mill!"

A middle-aged man in military uniform walked towards Lou Jiancheng and saluted.

"Hello, comrade. Welcome, welcome. I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. What is your name?"

Lou Jiancheng was indeed a businessman. His expression quickly became enthusiastic. He reached out and shook the other person's hand and asked.

"Director Lou can call me Song Lian!"

Song Lian shook hands with Lou Jiancheng in a simple and clear tone.

"Comrade Song, I have already prepared the security department for you. Comrade Song, do you want to settle down with the security department comrades first, or go out to eat first?"

Lou Jiancheng asked with a smile.

"Director Lou, I think we should settle down first. There's no need to rush to eat. What do you think?"

Song Liandao said that when he came here, he was repeatedly warned by his superiors not to go against the patriotic capitalists, so he did not refuse Lou Jiancheng's invitation.
