Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

One day, the factory received an important order that needed to be completed in a short time. The factory leaders decided to let Zhang Liang take charge of the project, and Zhang Liang gladly accepted it. He led his fellow workers to work overtime and finally completed the order within the specified time. The customer was very satisfied with their work, and the reputation of the factory was greatly improved.

Zhang Liang's efforts paid off. He not only got promoted in the factory, but also got more learning and training opportunities. He knew that this was a new beginning. Although the road ahead was full of challenges, he was confident that he could create a more brilliant tomorrow with his efforts and talents.

During this time, Zhang Liang's relationship with his neighbors in the yard has become better and better. They are not only neighbors, but more like a family. No matter what difficulties they encounter, everyone will help each other and face them together. Zhang Liang feels very lucky to be able to live in such a warm big family.

One sunny morning, Zhang Liang got up and saw a busy scene in the yard. Children were playing, old people were chatting, and everyone was enjoying this wonderful time. Zhang Liang walked out of the hut and ran into Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Little Zhang Liang, why are you up so early today?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I'm used to it. I feel more energetic when I wake up early."

Yan Bugui nodded: "Yes, getting up early is good for health. By the way, I heard that your work has been going well recently?"

Zhang Liang smiled modestly: "It's OK, my leaders and colleagues are very supportive of me."

Yan Bugui patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "That's good. Keep it up! We are all proud of you in our courtyard."

Life goes on, and Zhang Liang keeps moving forward. He knows that the road ahead is still long, but as long as he has a dream and works hard, he will be able to create his own glory.

One night, the courtyard was bustling again. It turned out that Liu Haizhong's eldest son Banggeng was admitted to a key middle school. Everyone came to congratulate him, and Liu Haizhong's family was filled with happy smiles. Zhang Liang also sent his blessings. He knew

Zhang Liang and Liu Haizhong sat in the yard and talked about their future plans. Liu Haizhong said, "Little Zhang Liang, I think you will achieve greater things in the future."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I think so too. As long as we keep working hard, we will definitely gain something."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Yes, we are all optimistic about you. I hope you can lead us all to progress together."

In the 1970s, there was a large courtyard in Beijing's old city, where Zhang Liang lived. Neighbors like Qin Huairu, Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, and the little kids like Banggeng were all intertwined with Zhang Liang's life, forming a vivid community picture.

Zhang Liang got up on time at five o'clock every morning. As the competition day approached, Zhang Liang practiced overtime every day. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he had to go all out. Whenever he felt tired, he would think of the prize money he was going to win and the life that might change, so he mustered up the courage to continue working hard.

One evening, Zhang Liang returned to the courtyard and happened to see Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai chatting. Yan Bugui saw Zhang Liang and called out, "Little Zhang Liang, come here, come and sit for a while."

Zhang Liang walked over and asked with a smile: "Do you have any good news to share?"

Yan Bugui nodded: "Guess what, we finally got that big order for our factory, and the leaders are relieved."

Yi Zhonghai took over the conversation: "Yes, I heard that the leader praised you specially, saying that you played an indispensable role in the on-time delivery this time."

Zhang Liang waved his hand modestly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just did what I should do."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Don't be modest, we have seen it all. By the way, how are the preparations for the benchwork competition going?"

Zhang Liang nodded: "I'm still preparing. The competition will start in a few days. I will try my best to make every detail the best."

Yi Zhonghai patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "With your determination, we all believe that you will definitely get good results."

Zhang Liang's diligence and talent finally ushered in a major turning point. He was transferred to the steel rolling mill and directly promoted to the eighth-level fitter, a level that is rare in the factory. When Yi Zhonghai heard the news, his face was a little complicated. As an old fitter with 30 years of work experience, he has been struggling at this level, but he didn't expect that this young man would be on par with him all of a sudden.

On Zhang Liang's first day at the steel mill, his co-workers all looked at him with curiosity. Everyone had heard about this young man's legendary experience, and many people wanted to see how capable he was. Zhang Liang walked into the workshop and saw Yi Zhonghai busy repairing a machine, so he walked over to say hello: "Master Yi, good morning!"

Yi Zhonghai looked up at him and nodded: "Good morning, little Zhang Liang. I heard that you came to our factory. We will be colleagues from now on."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Yes, I will have to ask you for advice more often in the future."

Yi Zhonghai's expression was a little cold: "The fact that you can come here shows that you have the ability. Do your best. The factory needs talents like you."

Zhang Liang felt Yi Zhonghai's emotions and understood that Yi Zhonghai might be somewhat dissatisfied with him as an "airborne soldier". He decided to prove himself with practical actions. Soon, the factory received an urgent order and needed to repair a batch of equipment in a short time to ensure smooth production. The factory leaders decided to let Zhang Liang and Yi Zhonghai work together to complete this task.

Yi Zhonghai was a little unhappy when he heard the arrangement, but he didn't show it. He knew that this task was very important and must be completed. The two walked into the workshop together and started their intense work.

Zhang Liang carefully observed every detail of the equipment and analyzed the cause of the failure. He took out the tools and started to operate. Yi Zhonghai watched coldly from the side, thinking: "Young man, don't think you can make decisions just because you have some skills. This is my territory."

After a while, Zhang Liang suddenly stopped and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master Yi, the bearings here may need to be replaced, otherwise the machine will have problems running."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Zhang Liang, was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "Well, you are right, I will help you."

The two cooperated tacitly and finally completed the task within the specified time. The equipment resumed normal operation and the factory's production was able to proceed smoothly. The factory leaders were very satisfied with their performance and specially held a commendation meeting.

At the meeting, the factory director praised the two's spirit of cooperation and especially mentioned Zhang Liang's outstanding performance. Yi Zhonghai felt a little uncomfortable listening to the factory director's speech, but he knew that Zhang Liang did have this ability, and he had to admit it.

After the meeting, Zhang Liang and Yi Zhonghai walked out of the meeting room together. Zhang Liang sensed Yi Zhonghai's emotions and took the initiative to say, "Master Yi, today's mission is thanks to your help, otherwise I really can't do it alone."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him coldly and said, "Little Zhang Liang, we are all working for the factory, it doesn't matter who helps whom."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Yes, we are all doing this for the good of the factory. However, I still have to thank you. I still have a lot of things I can ask you in the future."

Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly: "Okay, feel free to ask any questions you have."

As time went by, Zhang Liang became more and more adept at his job at the steel mill. Not only was he skilled, but he was also helpful, which earned him the respect and trust of his fellow workers. Even Yi Zhonghai, who was somewhat dissatisfied with him at first, gradually began to look at him with new eyes.

One day, the factory received another urgent order, requiring the processing of a batch of important parts to be completed in a very short time. The factory leaders once again gave this task to Zhang Liang and Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai frowned when he saw the task list: "Little Zhang Liang, this task is tight in time and difficult. Are you sure?"

Zhang Liang nodded firmly: "I have confidence that as long as we work together, we will be able to accomplish it."

The two quickly got to work, with Zhang Liang responsible for analyzing the cause of the failure and formulating a repair plan, while Yi Zhonghai was responsible for the specific operation. The two worked well together and quickly found the problem and proposed a solution.

While operating, Zhang Liang said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master Yi, although this task is difficult, we can definitely complete it. As long as we work together, there is no problem that cannot be solved."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "That's right, little Zhang Liang, your skills are indeed good, I have to admit that."

Zhang Liang felt Yi Zhonghai's recognition and was very happy: "Master Yi, you are very experienced. I still have a lot to learn from you."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Little Zhang Liang, as long as you can do your job well, you will be worthy of yourself and the factory."

The two worked until late at night and finally completed the task. Looking at the equipment that had resumed normal operation, Zhang Liang and Yi Zhonghai both smiled with satisfaction.

The next day, the factory leaders praised their work and gave them bonuses. Zhang Liang and Yi Zhonghai walked out of the office together. Yi Zhonghai patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "Little Zhang Liang, you did a good job. Let's cooperate more in the future and strive to do a better job."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Sure, Master Yi, let's work hard together."

Returning to the courtyard, Zhang Liang saw Qin Huairu chatting with some neighbors, so he walked over to greet them: "Hello, everyone, why is it so lively today?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Little Zhang Liang, you are really honored today. I heard that your factory praised you again?"

Zhang Liang's performance in the steel mill was getting better and better. The factory leaders valued him very much. They not only gave him full recognition in terms of technology, but also planned to promote him to the management level. This news caused quite a stir in the factory. After all, it was almost unprecedented in the history of the steel mill to be promoted from an ordinary fitter to deputy factory director in a short period of time.
