Chapter 486: The 4th Courtyard Next Door

"Twenty-three thousand people?" Zhou Tian was slightly stunned when he heard this number.

Although he had learned three days ago that these veterans would arrive today, he had expected the number to be more than that. He had never expected that there would be only 23,000 people.

You know, today's automobile factories are not like those in later generations, with fully CNC production lines. Although the research institute has begun to study automobile production lines, there are still many parts in the current production process that require manual operation.

Moreover, when the automobile factory was first planned and built, it was planned to be a large factory that could accommodate 50,000 workers. The current 23,000 people can't even reach half of the manpower required by the factory. How could Zhou Tian not feel worried and his brows unconsciously frowned slightly.

However, the situation was too urgent to allow him to think too much. The most urgent task was to arrange for the soldiers who had arrived to enter the school first.

As 6,000 people lined up neatly and entered the school, Zhou Tian cast his eyes on Liu Yongming standing aside and solemnly instructed him, "Old Liu, the training of these soldiers will be handed over to you from now on.

You must remember that this matter is related to whether the automobile factory can be put into production smoothly. You must not be careless at all and must attach great importance to it! As for the training of other soldiers who will arrive later, you and the school will work together to develop a detailed plan. You must do everything you can to train all the workers within half a year. Time waits for no one! "

"Yes, Dean!" Liu Yongming nodded solemnly. He knew very well that this task was arduous and difficult, but since it was assigned by the dean himself, he had to do his best even if there were many difficulties.

"Okay, I'll go back first. In addition, I will arrange for people to send a few cars, buses, and a few production lines to the school. You have to hurry up and push forward all the work here."

After saying that, Zhou Tian got in the car and went straight back to the research institute.

As for the branch factory, he thought it over again and again and decided not to disturb them for the time being. After all, everyone in the branch factory was busy in an orderly manner at the moment. If he went there rashly, it might delay the production progress. It would be better for him to go back to the research institute to deal with the matters concerning the lithography machine.

After returning to the research institute, Zhou Tian first explained what he had promised Liu Yongming one by one, and then rushed to the research institute without stopping to teach the technicians in the institute the technology of the first-generation lithography machine.

As the design drawings of the first-generation lithography machine are about to be completed, many difficult problems in the subsequent manufacturing process are imminently facing us.

However, the entire research institute was basically blank in the field of lithography machines, lacking professional knowledge and insufficient technical reserves. In desperation, he decided to start from scratch and train a group of talents who were proficient in lithography machine technology.

Busy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time to get off work in the evening. Zhou Tian dragged his slightly tired body back home.

As soon as I entered the house, Xiao Zhifeng, Xiao Zhinan and Xiao Zhiyi ran towards me like three happy little birds, stepping on their tender little legs. "Dad, Dad, you're back!"

"Dad, are you tired?"

"Dad, I miss you so much!"

Listening to the children's soft and heartwarming words, Zhou Tian was startled at first, then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a relieved smile, he bent down and picked up Xiao Zhiyi and Xiao Zhifeng, pretending to be serious and asked: "Hey, why are you little guys so sweet today, did you get into trouble?"

Zhou Tian knew clearly that these three little brats were very clever and had become more intelligent recently. Whenever they made a mistake, their little mouths were as sweet as honey and they kept trying to make people happy.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the three little ones started talking at the same time: "Dad, we didn't do anything wrong, it was Mom who scolded us!"

"Yes, brother is right, mom doesn't love us anymore."

Zhou Tian listened patiently for a long time before he finally understood the reason. He looked up at his grandmother and mother-in-law who were sitting by the bed and smiling at them, and then glanced at his wife who was still coaxing the children with a gloomy face. He knew in his heart that the three little guys must have been naughty and annoyed his wife again.

"What's going on? Grandma, Mom, how did these three little guys provoke Yulin?"

Zhou Tian turned his gaze to his mother-in-law and asked softly.

"Grandma, tell me, my mom doesn't like us anymore!"

Little Zhinan, who was not held in Zhou Tian's arms, ran to his grandmother Li Yuling's arms, shaking her arms with his little hands and acting coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, okay! I say, you little clingy guy!" Li Yuling looked at her grandson lovingly, rolled her eyes at her own daughter, and turned to her son-in-law and said, "What else could it be? It's just that these three little naughty kids were making a lot of noise in the house and woke up the two little ones, so your wife got angry!"

After saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Shen Yulin.

"Mom, how can you talk like that!" Shen Yulin explained angrily when she heard this: "I finally coaxed Xiao Zhiqiu and Xiao Zhiming to sleep, but these three troublesome little things woke them up again. How can I not be angry?"

"Stop talking about the child. What's the matter? It's your responsibility as a mother to take care of the child. If you can't take care of the child yourself, are you blaming others?"

The mother-in-law did not show any weakness and refuted it immediately.

"Okay, okay, you two have been arguing for the whole afternoon, stop it. Xiaotian, are you hungry? Grandma will cook for you!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the grandmother nearby quickly spoke up to smooth things over. She turned her gaze to her eldest grandson and asked lovingly.

"Grandma, I'm not hungry. Where's my grandpa?" Zhou Tian already knew what had happened from the quarrel between the mother and daughter and the complaints of the three little ones. He knew in his heart that it was not wise to intervene in the dispute between the mother and daughter at this moment, so he wisely changed the subject and asked about the whereabouts of his grandfather.

"Where else can your grandpa go? At this time, he must be playing chess with Aunt Li next door at your house!" Grandma said unhappily.

"Really? Then I'll go take a look." Zhou Tian said, gently putting the two children down, turned and walked out of the house, and walked towards the next door.

The courtyard house next door is a three-entry courtyard house, and is also home to nearly a dozen families.

Compared with the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang, the neighborhood atmosphere here is much more harmonious.

The Li family lived in the east wing of the front yard, a family of five. In addition to the elderly couple who were about the same age as my grandfather, there was also Li Aiguo, a third-level fitter who worked at the Red Star Machinery Factory. His wife was a housewife and was not in good health. They had only a twelve-year-old son who was in the first grade of Red Star Primary School.

As soon as Zhou Tian stepped into the front yard, he saw an old man wearing glasses sitting leisurely on a chair at the door, reading a book intently. Next to the stone pier, there were several elderly men in their fifties, arguing with each other, their faces flushed:

"Mr. Zhou, go ahead, oh, go ahead!"

"Yes, old man, if you don't move, you will be killed by Lao Li in a short time!"

"Send out troops, Old Li, why don't you send out troops? If you do, even if Old Man Zhou survives, he will be at a disadvantage!"

"Hey, Dean Zhou, you are such a rare guest. Why are you here?"

At this moment, an old man turned around and was about to go home. He saw Zhou Tian behind him and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, I'm here to see my grandpa, right? How was the outcome of the match today?"

Seeing this, Zhou Tian smiled and handed over a cigarette, asking casually. Although Zhou Tian did not live here, he knew Mr. Liu's temperament through daily conversations.

This old man was a native of Beijing. He liked to joke with others on weekdays and had the boldness and generosity of a northerner. But more often, he was keen on showing off that his ancestors were from the Zhenghuang Banner. As for whether it was true or not, Zhou Tian didn't bother to find out.

"Oh, Little Panda, what a good cigarette, President Zhou is so generous!" Old Man Liu took the cigarette, first looked at it carefully, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, then gave Zhou Tian a thumbs up and praised him.
