Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

This time, Qin's mother was silent. She understood that what Qin's father said made sense. It was extremely dangerous to be distracted while working.

Qin Huairu finally got on the last bus to Sijiu City after rushing for a long time, and her heart finally settled down.

After some trouble, when Qin Huairu arrived at the gate of the courtyard, it was completely dark. There was no one at the gate. Qin Huairu walked from the front yard to the middle yard. Except for Yan Bugui who heard the noise and came out to check, she did not meet any neighbors along the way.

When they got home, Jia Zhang and Banggeng had already finished dinner. When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu coming back so late, the pent-up anger in her heart suddenly came out. She opened her mouth to scold Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu interrupted her with her next words.

"Mom, is there any food at home? I haven't eaten for a day. I'm starving."

Jia Zhang sat on the kang angrily, looking at Qin Huairu with squinted eyes, "Humph, you really have become so capable? You even dare to order me around."

Qin Huairu didn't want to argue with Jia Zhang. She had been busy all day and was now hungry and tired. Seeing that Jia Zhang ignored her, Qin Huairu walked into the kitchen. After a while, Qin Huairu came out with a steamed bun.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang said nothing, patting Bang Geng's back and coaxing him to sleep. After Qin Huairu finished eating, she felt alive again.

"Mom, I've already reported to the factory today, and then went to the street office to get a certificate. I went back to the village to transfer my household registration here. I'll go to the street office again tomorrow, and our family's ration will be available next month."

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu talking about her schedule for the day, she looked disdainful but listened attentively. When she heard Qin Huairu say that the household registration issue was almost completed, Jia Zhang finally felt relieved.

When we have enough food for a family of four next month, life at home will be better. It's just that Dongxu didn't live in such a good time. Alas, Jia Zhang secretly shed tears.

The next morning, Qin Hairu went to the street office again. When she came out, she was holding a new household registration book and grain and oil book in her hands. Now that she was also a city dweller, her mother-in-law could no longer threaten to send her back to the countryside.

Just when Qin Huairu was overjoyed, Li Tianyi's project, which had been stopped, also made a breakthrough.

The core technology of the semi-automatic washing machine has been broken through, and all that is left is to arrange the assembly after all the parts are available.

After leaving the steel mill, Li Tianyi went to the flea market. There was a wide variety of goods in this market. There was nothing you couldn't buy, except what you couldn't think of. Although buying things here requires eyesight, because the quality of the goods depends entirely on your own eyesight.

Li Tianyi walked around here. He wanted to find a small motor, buy it and modify it himself, and then use it in a semi-automatic washing machine.

After some comparison, Li Tianyi bought three motors of suitable sizes. Although they were all broken, he could repair them himself. As long as he could find the parts here and take them back, he would guarantee to repair them.

After a whole afternoon of hard work, Li Tianyi finally bought everything he needed. When he got home, he went into the study and started tinkering without paying attention to An An's eager eyes.

An An was ignored by his father. He ran to his grandmother in a depressed mood to complain that his father didn't play with him. Seeing this, Mother Li was furious. She took An An into the study, but seeing that her son was busy, she quickly took An An out.

"An An, your dad is working, how about you play with grandpa for a while?"

An An thought about it, then nodded her little head, "Okay, grandma, but An An wants to eat two eggs tonight."

"Okay, grandma will make you two eggs." Li's mother agreed with a smile. Xiaoxue beside her rolled her eyes and ruthlessly exposed her son's little trick, "Mom, don't spoil him too much. This brat will only treat you well. The better you treat him, the more he will ask for more."

Mother Li hugged An An and kissed her on the cheek, "How could that be? Our An An is so well behaved!"

An An also laughed loudly. Father Li came over and hugged the little baby, then looked at Mother Li: "Old woman, if you don't go back to the kitchen, I guess we'll have to eat burnt food tonight."

Mother Li exclaimed, then she realized that she was still cooking in the kitchen. Mother Li immediately ran into the kitchen, and An An's smirk became even louder.

After dinner, Xiaoxue saw her husband go into the study again, so she curiously walked in with her son, "Brother Tian, ​​what are you busy with?"

"There is a project that requires a small motor, and I am thinking about making it quickly?"

"You go and rest first. I think I'll have to work overtime tonight."

"Okay, then don't stay out too late." Then he led An An back to the house.

That night, Li Tianyi worked overtime until the early morning and finally finished fixing the three motors.

The next morning, Li's mother took An An to work. Li Tianyi followed a little later. When he arrived at the steel mill, it was already past work time. He did not go to the technical department first, but went directly to Li Huaide's office.

"Uncle, have the spare parts that were required to be mobilized arrived?"

"I called yesterday to confirm. It will arrive today. Tianyi, how are you doing?"

"I have everything ready. Once the parts arrive, we will start assembling."

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait."

The shell of this semi-automatic washing machine can be produced by the steel rolling mill, but some of the plastic components inside need to be manufactured by a specialized plastic factory. We are waiting for them now.

This semi-automatic washing machine is a double-barrel washing machine with a dry barrel. It consists of a washing barrel and a dehydration barrel. Washing and dehydration can be performed separately, but the water intake and drainage during washing need to be done manually.

According to Li Tianyi, there are currently no semi-automatic washing machines in the world, so he is racing against time to carry out the project and strive to mass-produce and export this washing machine as soon as possible.

The purchased parts were delivered in the afternoon. Li Tianyi immediately organized people to start assembling them. Maybe it was the first time for the workers to assemble a washing machine, so they were not very skilled. Despite this, they assembled the washing machine before leaving get off work.

Li Tianyi did not conduct the experiment at that time, but locked the warehouse door and waited until tomorrow. The assembling workers did not know what they were assembling, and Li Tianyi did not explain much.

Although Li Huaide was curious about whether this thing could be used, but when Li Tianyi said that he would do the experiment tomorrow, he had to suppress his thoughts.

The next morning, Li Huaide came to the warehouse. Li Tianyi had just arrived. When Section Chief Zhang came with the technicians, Li Tianyi was carrying a bucket to fetch water. Then he turned on the power, turned the control button, and the washing machine started running.

After a series of tests, Li Huaide returned to the office excitedly. He wanted to report the good news to his superiors.
