Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

"Okay, now we plug it in, fill it with water..."

As soon as the chief engineer's voice fell, someone immediately did as he was told.

Plug in the power and turn off the switch.

The waiting time was a bit long, but even so, everyone present was staring at the newly developed water heater.

As soon as half an hour was up, the chief engineer immediately stepped forward to turn on the switch, reached out to catch the water, and felt the touch.

The water was cold at first, but after about ten seconds, it began to warm up, and gradually became hotter.

"It worked, we succeeded!"

The chief engineer smiled like a child at this moment, and the factory director also went to feel it himself. As expected, the hot water made his old face full of wrinkles:

"Great, we will have our own electric water heater from now on!"

"Director, you can apply for a patent."

Ye Fei simply reminded that the direct-discharge gas water heaters are still used abroad. The exhaust gas produced by gas combustion is discharged to the outside through the flue. If it is not discharged properly, it can easily cause indoor air pollution and even cause gas poisoning, and there will also be the problem of the water temperature not being able to remain stable.

That’s why he decided to skip the direct-discharge gas water heater and get an electric water heater.

Researching something new often requires a large amount of money. Fortunately, the factory director supports and trusts him. And because of the system plug-in, the entire research avoided many detours and saved a lot of money.

"OK."

The factory director nodded and agreed solemnly. Ye Fei reminded him that the patent issue had to be settled as soon as possible.

You know, this electric water heater is not available abroad.

"I'm hosting you all today. Thank you for your hard work these days."

With a wave of his hand, the factory director spoke directly.

"Thank you, director."

The crowd answered with laughter, their voices so loud that they penetrated the roof and echoed in the sky.

They are so excited. They have overcome so many difficulties in these few months.

Since there were no corresponding small parts, they developed them independently, focusing on self-sufficiency.

Fortunately, hard work pays off and they really succeeded.

Earlier than they expected.

There are many technologies that need to be overcome for electric water heaters. If it were Ye Fei, it is very likely that they could study it for several months in a small place.

But with Ye Fei's support and ideas, their whole process moved so fast.

If we have to say the credit goes to Ye Fei, it must be given to him.

The sudden emergence of electric water heaters has caused a huge response in society.

They are often sold out as soon as they are produced.

This electric water heater is really easy to use.

In the past, when people took a bath, they could only use a pot to boil hot water, which not only wasted time but also did not wash very cleanly. If it was a cold winter, it would be even more difficult.

But now with electric water heaters, it is much more convenient.

You no longer have to wait so long and take the trouble to boil hot water. Just plug in the power and wait for a while.

The cold winter is here in a blink of an eye, and every household has closed their doors and windows, for fear that any cold air will get into the house.

"Ye Fei, what did you buy? Such a big box?"

Sha Zhu had just come back from outside and happened to run into Ye Fei. There was a wide wooden board tied to the back seat of the car, with a large box on it.

"Buy a water heater so that it will be convenient to take a shower in the future."

Ye Fei parked the car and saw Sha Zhu standing there in a daze. He quickly said:

"Brother, why are you standing there? Come and help me."

"Oh oh oh, here it comes."

Sha Zhu came to his senses and immediately helped lift the other side of the box. Feeling the weight inside, he did not dare to take it lightly. He asked as he walked:

"Ye Fei, this water heater is not cheap, right?!

I heard it’s more expensive than a radio.”

"It's OK. This is my internal price, so it will be cheaper."

"Uh, internal price, are you still related to the water heater factory?"

"I'm just an employee working there. My boss saw that I performed well, so he gave me an internal employee price."

Ye Fei gave a brief explanation but did not mention anything about his personal participation in the research.

“Are you still working three jobs a day?”

"No, it's cold now, so I didn't do it."

Ye Fei explained lightly that the water heater was already on the market and his task was basically completed. The next step would be to delve into research on other inventions.

"It's true. This winter seems to be particularly cold. Sometimes I don't even want to go out."

As they talked, the two went to the backyard, unpacked the boxes, and installed the water heater.

Looking at Ye Fei's house, everything is fully equipped. When it is cold, there is a heated kang and air conditioner. When it is hot, there are fans, air conditioners, and a TV. In addition, there is a water heater purchased today. This life is really rich.

All this is because Ye Fei worked hard and did three jobs at the same time. If it were him, he might not be able to persevere.

After the Chinese New Year, he will also take on a part-time job and work hard to earn money to support his family.

The news that Ye Fei's family bought a water heater soon spread throughout the courtyard.

Now, the people in the Siheyuan are only envious, and there are only a few who are jealous.

Ye Fei is now so powerful that they can only envy him. Even if they work hard throughout their entire lives, they will never be able to achieve the living conditions that Ye Fei has.

Life has gradually improved in the past two years, but they are already very satisfied with it.

For example, Yan Bugui, since getting Ye Fei's advice, he has tried his best to change his stingy bad habits. As for Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, the old couple are no longer so fussy and will help them whenever they can.

Although Yu Li still had some estrangement in her heart, her thoughts had changed a lot. At least after she felt the changes in Yan Bugui and the third aunt, she was no longer so distant.

If I used to dislike my third uncle and aunt, I don't dislike them now. When I come back from my mother's house, I will bring back some things for the old couple, no matter if it's vegetables or something else, it's always a thoughtful gesture.

"Yu Li, our dad has had a cold for a month and it's still not healed. I'll go get him some more medicine.

Mom said that we don't need to cook dinner tonight, we can go to their place to eat, so don't bother yourself, wait until I buy the medicine, and then we'll go directly to their place."

Yan Jiecheng saw Yu Li and said something quickly.

“Not well yet?

It's been a month and it's still not healed. Why don't we go to the hospital?!"

"Get some more medicine for dad first. If it still doesn't work, go to the hospital."

After thinking for a while, Yan Jiecheng made a decision and opened the door. A gust of cold wind blew towards him, making him shiver uncontrollably.

It was so cold that day that he didn't want to go out.
