Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

When Yu Li came back, she saw that the two factory managers had left and asked quietly:

"Renkang, what happened to those two just now?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"It's just a little dispute, it's not a serious matter, you don't have to care about it"

Yu Li nodded and said

"Okay, I'll clean up the room. Aren't you going to the textile factory to ask our brother? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhang Renkang smiled bitterly

"I'll go to Li Huaide's office first. I think he has something to talk to me about. After that, it won't be too late to go to the textile factory to look for Zhao Jianjun."

Yu Li nodded and went into Zhang Renkang's office to clean up. Zhang Renkang looked around the outer hall, rubbed his hands, and went to the second canteen on the side.

In the second canteen, the staff had already started cleaning and making preparations in the morning. Yu Feng and several other apprentices were carrying today's ingredients from the canteen warehouse to the kitchen. Thanks to Zhang Renkang's invention of the small flatbed cart used in future express delivery, not only is it easier to unload ingredients in the kitchen, but the warehouse also saves a lot of effort.

Zhang Renkang called Gao Ying out and said

"Go and inform the team leaders of each canteen to come to my office for a meeting at 3 pm. I have something to tell you."

Gao Ying nodded. Thanks to Zhang Renkang, he not only passed the eighth-level chef exam, but also became one of the six team leaders in the kitchen. His monthly salary was 42.5 yuan, which made him feel proud at home. Now he, Lu Yong, Song Gang and others were Zhang Renkang's absolute confidants.

Zhang Renkang nodded and asked

"How is Yu Feng doing in the kitchen?"

Last year, Yu Feng came to the steel mill to find Zhang Renkang and said that he had thought it through and wanted to find something to do first and didn't want to mess around anymore. Zhang Renkang arranged for him to work as an apprentice in the kitchen, with a monthly salary of 17.5 yuan. Yu Feng gave his mother 10 yuan a month to help save it, and the income of 7.5 yuan became a big sum among them.

Gao Ying said with a smile

"Not bad, very hardworking, obedient and doesn't cause trouble, and works hard."

Then Gao Ying frowned and said

"Director, I did teach him some knife skills, but I don't think your brother-in-law is suitable to be a chef."

Zhang Renkang nodded. He had also observed that Yu Feng was not cut out to be a chef. A chef must have some talent, otherwise he could only be a level 7 chef at best. Zhang Renkang smiled and said,

"Take some time to temper him. I'll come back to him for something else later."

When Yu Feng came to the kitchen, except for Gao Ying, no one else knew that he was Zhang Renkang's brother-in-law. However, thanks to Zhang Renkang's reorganization of the kitchen and the way forward, the six canteens are now the most energetic and motivated department. No one excluded Yu Feng, and some people even enthusiastically taught him some basic skills.

Zhang Renkang finished his instructions in the second canteen and thought it was about time, so he walked towards Li Huaide's office in the office building.

In Li Huaide's office, Li Huaide took a sip of tea and smiled at Zhang Renkang who had just come in.

"Renkang, Yang Weiguo has agreed to let us pilot four workshops. Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Renkang thought about

"Director, I thought about this all night yesterday. You see, apprentices nowadays simply lack opportunities to learn. The masters are hiding their true skills and don't teach them, fearing that if they teach their apprentices, they will starve to death."

Li Huaide nodded and said

"Yes, Yang Weiguo is right. We have no control over whether they teach us real skills or not."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"In that case, let's have Wang Huairen spread the word that we need to carry out volunteer work in the Northwest and we need to transfer some technical backbones. This is an order from our superiors."

"If they don't want to go, they have to train four third-level workers or eight second-level workers as replacements. Do you think they can teach the technology without any effort?"

“On the other hand, we use the first hour of the afternoon shift in the workshop to learn the Iron Man spirit and the spirit of dedication, mobilize the Red Star teaching class, commend the whole factory and list the best apprentices, and reward them with some bills and medals to drive the learning of other workshops. I think within two months, the learning enthusiasm of other workshops will also rise.”

Li Huaide nodded and thought about it carefully. It was really good. Zhang Renkang was really a cunning guy. He was glad that he had pulled him to his side early. Yang Weiguo, the idiot, wanted to put pressure on Zhang Renkang and force him to be on the same side with him.

Li Huaide smiled

"Okay, I think we should do this. I'll ask Wang Huairen to carry out the execution later. We can't just shout slogans without any reason."

Li Huaide also decided to use this incident to force Wang Huairen to make a decision. Zhang Renkang nodded and asked

"Director, shall I go back and get the plan?"

Li Huaide hummed and said

"Okay, I'll ask Wang Huairen to come find you this afternoon and you can talk to him."

Li Huaide gave Zhang Renkang some instructions and let him go. After Zhang Renkang came out of Li Huaide's office, he rode his bicycle directly from the carport to the textile factory. He still needed to find a wife for his cousin Zhang Renjia.

(To explain, some people questioned the issue of matching up, but during this period of time, smart people knew which way the wind was blowing, and it was better to find a wife from a worker or farmer family, with a clean background. In fact, the climax of accepting brides was in the third generation, because the people who conquered the world in the second generation were still alive, so there was no need, and besides, the wisest people were watching over them.)

At 10:30 in the morning, Zhang Renkang rode his bicycle all the way to the textile factory. The gate guard of the textile factory already knew Zhang Renkang and knew that he was a close friend of his secretary. He smiled and opened the gate to let Zhang Renkang in. Zhang Renkang smiled and threw him half a bag of Daqianmen and rode his bicycle and said with a smile:

"It's so cold, comrades, you've worked hard, give me some points to cheer me up."

The guard took it with a smile, thanked Zhang Renkang and happily shared it with his companions. This was Daqianmen, and they were reluctant to buy it.

Zhao Jianjun's Office

Zhao Jianjun smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Renkang.

"I got this from my grandfather. Try it. It's the southern Da Hong Pao. Although it's not from the original tree, it's also rare and good."

Zhang Renkang smiled and blew the tea leaves on the cup and took a sip. The fragrance lingered on his teeth and was endless. He joked:

"This tea is good, and has a strong tea aroma. If your father knew about this, you would be in trouble."

Zhao Jianjun laughed and said

"I didn't embezzle it. My sister took it. When the time comes, I'll say my brother-in-law took it."

Zhang Renkang mourned for Li Huaide who was unaware of the situation and said

"Brother, I came to you this time for something important."

Zhao Jianjun laughed

"What's the big deal, kid? Are you missing your friend? How about I give you a day off?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Brother, please stop joking with me. I came to you this time to ask if there are any suitable young women of the right age in your factory, preferably from a working-class family, between 20 and 25 years old, with a good personality and good at managing the household."

Zhao Jianjun thought for a moment and said

"I really don't know what you mean. I'll ask Chief Li from the Human Resources Department to ask you. The women comrades there are good at this."

"You're married, so who are you looking for?"

Although Li Huaide urgently reported to Mr. Zhao yesterday, Zhao Jianjun had not received the news yet. He didn't know that Zhang Renkang's background was even more powerful than his.

Zhang Renkang laughed

"My cousin is a major serving in the city defense force. He is over 30 years old and still hasn't found a partner. My aunt is worried. I'm here to ask for him."

Zhao Jianjun asked doubtfully

"Aren't you an only child? How come you have a cousin?"

Zhang Renkang explained it to Zhao Jianjun, who was half-understood and asked

"Is the cousin you are talking about Zhang Renjia?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Yeah, do you know each other?"

Zhao Jianjun slapped his thigh and shouted

"I have never connected your two names together. How could I not know Crazy Zhang? We are from the same army, but we are not close friends."

(Setting: Zhao Jianjun and Zhang Renjia were in the same unit. They participated in the Peninsula War together. Later, they fought against bandits in the south. Zhang Renjia was ordered to go to Nanjing Military Academy to learn armor knowledge and tank tactics. He performed outstandingly. After being recommended by the military god, he was transferred to the National Defense University established in Sijiu City to study deep assault subjects and participated in the establishment of China's first heavy armored group. He is currently the staff officer of an armored regiment of the Sijiu City Defense Corps of the North China Military Region.

Zhao Jianjun was transferred to the Western Military Region with his old unit and participated in the 62 border counterattack war. He retired due to injury.

Zhao Jianjun said

"After the bandit suppression in the south, your cousin was transferred to study. I followed the troops to Sichuan and then to the plateau. I retired due to injury 63 years later and have not returned since."

"I didn't expect you and Crazy Zhang are cousins. You don't look alike at all."

Zhao Jianjun laughed as he spoke, and Zhang Renkang asked in confusion:

"Brother, why do you say my brother is crazy? Is there any story behind this?"

Zhao Jianjun laughed

"We were all new recruits, going to the Peninsula to fight. As soon as the guns started to fire, without even waiting for the charge, your brother, that bastard, rushed forward with his submachine gun. Their squad leader had no choice but to charge as well, and even led their entire platoon to charge as well. As a result, they ended up destroying a battalion of puppet troops in the south and captured their battalion commander alive."

"During the fifth battle, your brother was already a platoon leader. They fought in Cheorwon until only four people were left in their platoon. Only then were they pulled down from the front line by reinforcements. That was the 18th assault by a tank battalion and two infantry battalions of the United States. They destroyed 11 tanks and armored vehicles, and even seized a tank to counterattack and force the United States to retreat."

"When the commander-in-chief found out, he praised this madman. When he gets crazy, no one can stop him."

"After that, your brother was brought back to China. Later, we were assigned to fight bandits in the south. We learned that he had studied tanks in the Soviet Union for a year. We lost contact after the fight."

Zhang Renkang was stunned after listening to what Zhao Jianjun said. He couldn't believe that his silly cousin was so brave. He knew about the Battle of Cheorwon. It was a life-and-death battle for thirteen days. Our army paid an extremely heroic sacrifice to crush the enemy's conspiracy to annihilate our main force.

(If you learn about the Battle of Cheorwon, you will know what an iron army is. It is the iron will to never retreat, the resolute will of not one person to retreat until they are about to die in battle.)

Zhao Jianjun laughed

"Crazy Zhang wants to find a wife, hahahaha, okay, I'll ask for you. Then I want to see if Crazy Zhang will go crazy when he sees his wife, hahahaha"

Zhang Renkang looked at Zhao Jianjun's bad taste speechlessly and laughed.

"Then I'll trouble you. When you find me, I'll take a look at the information and bring my brother over."

Zhao Jianjun agreed proudly, then opened the door and shouted

"Ms. Li? Is Ms. Li here?"

Zhao Jianjun called Sister Li from the personnel department of the textile factory to explain the situation. Sister Li looked at Zhang Renkang with a smile and went downstairs. She thought they were looking for a wife for Zhang Renkang. The young man was handsome, so Sister Li, who had misunderstood, happily went downstairs to find someone.

(No one in the textile factory knew Qin Jingru's background, they only knew that Secretary Zhao had arranged for her to be taken care of)
