Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

The director walked up to Guo Dapiaozi with an unhappy look on his face.

"After the Spring Festival, you don't know how to do machinist work? Look at this batch of products, I don't want to say much to you." The director's criticism made him quite unhappy. He had been quite lenient with Guo Dapiaozi and could not tolerate such excessive behavior.

Just after the Spring Festival, Guo Dapiezi's performance declined significantly, which shows that he has shifted his energy to other places and cannot concentrate on his work.

A sloppy attitude toward work reflects a lack of positive mindset, which is a problem that must be corrected.

The supervisor directly criticized Guo for his squinting eyes, and his fingers almost touched the tip of his nose.

Some colleagues were present to witness the reprimand.

Faced with such public rebuke, Guo Xieyan felt so embarrassed that he could hardly raise his head.

"You need to reflect on your behavior carefully," the supervisor said coldly and turned away.

The supervisor decided to give Guo Xieyan two more days for observation. If the situation did not improve, he would have to be transferred from his current job.

After all, producing inferior products will lead to a waste of resources.

"What's wrong with Guo's squinting eyes?"

“In the past, we could easily produce qualified parts, but now one out of three does not meet the specifications.”

"I don't think he's concentrating on his work at all."

"It's probably because I relaxed for too long during the Chinese New Year."

"His awareness is really too low."

“It set the entire production line back.”

Guo Xieyan's interpersonal relationships in this workshop were actually not very good, and many people were actually happy to see him in such a situation.

With a worried look on his face, Guo Xieyan could only make up for his shortcomings by working harder.

At the same time, Lin Xiangdong's apprentice Ni Aiguo has come to negotiate with Xu Damao.

"Big Cat, you should accept the loss of the bet. My master has now obtained a motorcycle license," Ni Aiguo said with a smile.

If it weren't for Lin Xiangdong's secret hint, Ni Aiguo would not have proposed making this bet with Xu Damao and shortening the deadline from three months to two months.

After placing the bet, Ni Aiguo didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiangdong would get his driver's license within a month and a half, or to be exact, only one week. This shocked everyone.

If Ni Aiguo had not witnessed Lin Xiangdong's driving learning process and seen the driver's license with his own eyes, he would not have believed it.

Xu Damao's face was not looking good. He wanted to find an excuse to deny the debt, but since there were many witnesses present...

In Siheyuan, people firmly believe that debts should be paid.

The news had spread throughout the courtyard before nightfall.

The neighbors all knew more or less that Lin Xiangdong had started learning to ride a motorcycle. Some people optimistically predicted that he would succeed, but others viewed it as a joke.

However, what no one foresaw was that Lin Xiangdong obtained a motorcycle license in just four days.

During these four days, he practiced in the factory for less than two hours every day.

This speed is almost unprecedented.

The third elder and his wife also discussed this matter at home.

"I'm not exaggerating. I'm afraid no one will get a driver's license as quickly as Lin Xiangdong within ten years," Yan Pugui's words seemed to follow and praise Lin Xiangdong.

"He passed the test and got his driver's license after only four days of practice. Although the motorcycle has a higher stability when mounted on the side, it is indeed very fast for Dongzi," the old lady also said.

"I heard that he took the driving test because the vice president of his company asked him to do so."

"It seems that the company's top management thinks highly of Dongzi's abilities!"

“It’s really cool to think that he will be able to drive a sidecar tricycle when he goes out to show movies in the future!”

"Dongzi is indeed a young man who is becoming more and more capable. If Jiecheng can have half of his ability, it will make people feel more at ease."

"It seems that the boss's future achievements may surpass Lin Xiangdong."

……

After getting home from get off work, Lou Xiao'e was very happy to learn that Lin Xiangdong had passed the motorcycle driver's license.

In Siheyuan, getting such a license is a big deal.

When Lin Xiangdong appeared in the yard, the neighbors looked at him differently.

Of course, some people would be envious or even jealous; for example, Xu Damao and the disgusting elders of the Jia family who lived in the ** yard.

Jia Zhang stayed at home sewing shoe soles, constantly spitting out sarcastic words.

Jia Zhang believed that good people in this world have little blessings, that's why her son Jia Dongxu, who died young, did not live long!

If his son were still alive, he might have been valued by his leaders and quickly learned to ride a motorcycle.

Now that the Jia family was in a bad situation, she felt mixed emotions when she saw others becoming more and more prosperous.

She said silently in her heart: "Lin Xiangdong and his wife will never be able to have children. They are destined to be childless just like that old man Yi Zhonghai."

Indeed, it has been a year since Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiao'e got married, and there has been no good news from Lou Xiao'e so far. This gave Jia Zhang the opportunity to make a big fuss in private.

The reason why Qin Huairu had three children was due to the pressure from Jia Zhang.

Every time Qin Huairu married into the family, she was constantly urged and nagged.

Jia Dongxu was also very enthusiastic at first, but as time went by, he gradually became distressed.

Now that she saw that the other person was living a good life, she began to criticize Lou Xiao'e's identity and her inability to have children.

Of course, Jia Zhang didn't dare let Lin Xiangdong and his wife know about this.

"Dongzai, come to my house for a drink tonight!" Yi Zhonghai entered the courtyard with some ready-made side dishes and two bottles of wine.

Lin Xiangdong could not easily refuse such a warm invitation, so he accepted it.

He then told Lou Xiao'e that she didn't need to bother preparing dinner.

When Lin Xiangdong and his wife arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, Sha Zhu and He Yushui, who were not there, had been waiting for a long time.

The old lady happened to be out delivering dinner to the old woman living in the backyard. Did you hear it?

Even though Yi Zhonghai had already bought some cooked side dishes, Sha Zhu still cooked two delicious dishes.

One is fried peanuts, the other is scrambled eggs with green onions.

When the old lady returned home, Lin Xiangdong and Yi Zhonghai were already drinking.

Even Shazhu can drink a lot and will try it occasionally.

He Yushui did not say much, but just silently enjoyed the food on the plate;

One can see its frail body and it is obvious that it lacks adequate nutrition.

Usually, as long as it was delicious, Sha Zhu was always willing to share it with Qin Huairu, and he didn't seem to care about this matter, but this made He Yushui very angry;

However, as her life has improved and she has become more financially comfortable, her daily life has become relatively more pleasant recently.

In front of the old lady, Lou Xiao'e was chatting about everything under the sun, and the atmosphere was quite warm and joyful.

After the three people at the party finished two bottles of wine, Lin Xiangdong also began to stagger.

"I remember." Yi Zhonghai slapped his forehead, then he took out some factory quota tickets from his pocket and handed them to Lin Xiangdong.

In order to seek Yi Zhonghai's help in exchanging work tickets, Lin Xiangdong gave him 20 yuan in cash.

If your salary exceeds 20 yuan per month, you can receive a work quota ticket. If it exceeds 40 yuan, you can receive two quota tickets, and the number of quota tickets increases step by step in this way.

According to relevant regulations, Yi Zhonghai should receive four property certificates every month, but now he can get five every month.

The rules are always rigid, but as an eighth-level tool maker with a monthly salary of 99 yuan, Yi Zhonghai's position in the factory is obviously not to be underestimated.

Currently, the trading prices of industrial certificates are still at a low level.

After Lin Xiangdong paid 20 yuan to Yi Zhonghai, Yi exchanged a large number of property certificates for him.

"Thank you so much for your help, sir." Lin Xiangdong accepted the receipts with a smile.

Private transactions of property certificates are extremely common due to their widespread use in purchasing daily necessities.

If Lin Xiangdong collected the industrial certificates himself, he probably wouldn't be able to obtain such a large number. As for whether Yi Zhonghai, the middleman, gained any benefit from it, only he knew it clearly.

"With so many industrial certificates, it is enough to buy all the 'three major items plus one more'!" Cheng Zhu commented.

On the other hand, after obtaining a motorcycle license, Lin Xiangdong drove a sidecar to rural areas to show movies.

When he drove his sidecar into the countryside, he attracted a lot of attention. Villagers gathered to watch. When he met his colleagues, their expressions were full of amazement and envy.

Other projectionists use bicycles, but Lin Xiangdong drives a motorcycle to show movies. This comparison undoubtedly creates a strong sense of contrast. Even when he shuttles through the city streets, his return rate is almost 100%.

At night, when Lin Xiangdong turned on the headlights,

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month (also known as the Lantern Festival), Lin left work early. Today he needed to make millet flour lanterns - a traditional custom.

The techniques for making this type of lantern are worth describing in detail.

When Lin Xiangdong got home, he saw Lou Xiao'e was already waiting for him at home. She had also left work early and arrived even faster than him.

At this time, she took out a large bag full of millet flour from her home. The bag was of moderate size, containing about 10 kilograms of millet flour.

The two made full use of these surfaces.

Next, Lin Xiangyang joined the production process. They kneaded millet flour into different shapes, including round lanterns, chicken lanterns, and fish shapes. In the end, they created more than a dozen types of lanterns, and made several versions of each model.

The finished lamps need to be steamed in a pot.

After the millet flour is made, there are unique ways to light the lanterns.

It is often said that "When the mother-in-law lights the candle and the new bride leaves, the annual harvest will be seven to eight stone. When the daughter-in-law lights the candle and the old wife leaves, the annual harvest will be only three or two stone."

Since Lou Xiao'e did not have her mother-in-law by her side, she planned to let Lin Xiangdong perform the task of lighting the lamps, while she would complete the other parts.

While they were making millet flour lanterns at home, Yan's neighbors were also busy making them.

The deaf grandmother assisted in this work in Yi's house.

Cheng Zhu and He Yulu asked Qin Huairu to help them make millet lanterns with the same purpose.

There is no doubt that whenever Qin contributed a portion of flour to their house to make millet lanterns, he would keep some for his own use.
