Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Year after year, the steel mill has recruited workers every year, and the number of employees has long exceeded 15,000.

There are only a few workshops, and even with a three-shift system, there is still a serious surplus of workers, which has become a huge burden for the steel mill.

He Yushui supports factory reform.

His brother suggested reorganizing the workshop to produce stainless steel products using the surplus labor, and he agreed, saying that this was undoubtedly the way out for the steel mill.

Fortunately, there was factory reform and independent management, otherwise he really couldn't help with things like arranging jobs.

He Yushui pondered for a moment and began to worry about how to balance factory management work after reporting to the university.

But soon, he smiled and shook his head, not thinking about it anymore.

My brother once said that when you go to college, what you study is actually secondary; the most important thing is to get a degree.

The real life lessons have to be learned in the society, which is a big university, and the knowledge there can benefit people for a lifetime.

The next morning, He Yuzhu returned home early and made a hearty breakfast. After enjoying it with his wife Ran Qiuye, he kissed his little daughter Nianqiu, then rode his bicycle towards the steel mill.

Yu Haitang carefully selected her favorite dress, dressed herself up beautifully, and waited there.

Since the idea came to her mind, she didn't hesitate much and decided to take action resolutely.

She knew clearly in her mind that this was the best way to climb up the tree and become a phoenix.

Even if He Yushui was admitted to university, as long as she was related to He Yuzhu, wouldn't she have to be inferior to her?

The most important thing is that in addition to the dual transformation of material and identity, He Yuzhu is also so handsome. Just thinking about being with him makes me uncontrollably happy.

Yu Haitang was both shy and expectant. She knew that the first step to getting close to him was to get familiar with him. Then she could find an excuse to go to his office and be proactive, and everything would fall into place naturally.

After waiting for a long time, He Yuzhu finally came on his bike, stopped at the factory gate, locked his bike and walked inside.

Yu Haitang's face was unconsciously getting hot. She took a deep breath, pretended to meet him by chance, walked quickly to his side, and greeted him sweetly: "Morning, Director He!"

He Yuzhu just glanced at her casually, responded casually, and then rode away.

According to regulations, cycling is not allowed within the factory, but as a member of management, he is not subject to this restriction.

Faced with He Yuzhu's indifferent attitude, Yu Haitang bit her lip hard, feeling her self-esteem shattered once again.

Looking at his receding back, although I felt dissatisfied and angry, it aroused my fighting spirit more - if you ignore me today, I will make you out of reach in the future!

After the college entrance examination, He Yushui took over the daily management of the steel mill again. With the assistance of Yu Li, daily work became much easier.

In the cafeteria office, He Yuzhu was reading the newspaper leisurely.

At this time, Qin Huairu walked in with a thermos, and the room became quiet.

He Yuzhu didn't notice and continued to flip through the newspaper in his hand looking for news of interest.

Qin Huairu's eyes fell on him gently. She observed him quietly for a while, bit her lips lightly, put the tea leaves into the enamel pot, and filled it with water for him.

A light breeze blew in through the window, bringing cool breezes.

Steam rose from the enamel pot, and the water rippled in circles. The curled tea leaves slowly stretched out with the nourishment of the water, like a lively elf swaying and dancing in the water, which lasted for a long time.

Time passes quietly and days go by.

Many stainless steel products gradually emerged in the city, especially spoons. The price was comparable to that of aluminum products, but they were smoother and more beautiful, stronger and more durable than ceramics, and soon became people's new favorite.

Subsequently, stainless steel kitchen knives, spatulas, cups, basins, etc. gradually entered thousands of households, and everything was developing in a good direction.

In the blink of an eye, the day for college freshmen to report arrived. On the last day of registration, He Yushui hurried there after the morning meeting at the factory, and time was already a little tight.

Led by a senior student who had enrolled half a year ago, he came to the assigned dormitory.

He Yuzhu stood aside, silently admiring the campus scenery, looking at the faces of people of different ages that were equally filled with excitement and joy.

In the early years, as long as you were admitted to university, your tuition fees would be fully covered by the state. Even daily necessities such as bedding and washbasins, as well as school supplies such as books and notebooks, would be distributed by the school.

Students only need to bring a pen to enroll in school, and they can also receive food coupons and subsidies every month, which is enough to live a good life.

If you are admitted to university as a cadre, your original salary will be paid as usual.

At that time, society gave meticulous care and attention to talents.

Whether it was last year's college entrance examination or this year's, all regions responded hastily when hundreds of thousands of college freshmen enrolled.

In addition to food coupons and subsidies, the school no longer distributed bedding and other daily necessities. He Yuzhu prepared the three necessary sets for He Yushui to go to school: a stainless steel basin, a stainless steel cup and bedding. He specially selected bed sheets with the national peony pattern, which fully demonstrated the attentiveness of a warm man.

He also gave up his usual habit of leisurely drinking tea and reading newspapers, and made a special trip to accompany his sister to register at the university, not to take this opportunity to snoop around the girls' dormitory.

The dormitory was simply furnished with four iron bunk beds, and the two lower bunks were already covered with bedding.

Zhou Xiaobai stood by the window, gazing at the lush scenery of the campus, feeling unusually relaxed. Although he wanted to go out for a walk and find Sister E, he finally held back.

Although Sister E came back, she was very happy, but the already slim hope became even more illusory. What was the point of going to look for her? What else could she do?

Zhou Xiaobai is a rational person and doesn't want to get too deeply involved in it. She tells herself not to think about it or see it, and time will slowly dilute everything.

"Xiaobai, I got some water. Would you like some to drink?"

As the door was pushed open, a quiet girl with pigtails asked while holding a thermos.

"No, thanks."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and declined, sitting by the bed, watching Song Yunping's busy figure. After spending the whole morning together, the two of them had become quite familiar with each other.

"It's already this late, haven't the rest of the people in our dormitory arrived yet?"

After Song Yunping finished pouring the water, she looked at the empty bed and asked doubtfully, "Are we the only two living here?"

"I don't know either. Maybe they reported in late."

Zhou Xiaobai guessed.

"But today is the last day."

Song Yunping was a little worried.

"I'm here so late, I don't know if I can register successfully. How can you not take such a big thing as going to college seriously?"

Song Yunping really couldn't understand this. The opportunity to go to college was so rare, why not cherish it?

Zhou Xiaobai lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.

I just reported in this morning, while Song Yunping had already arrived two days ago. In comparison, I really didn't take it seriously enough.

Zhou Xiaobai was well aware of this. He remembered that Song Yunping had actually been admitted to university years ago, but was not admitted due to special reasons.

This year, the newspapers featured a scholar’s ​​speech at a scientific conference: “All candidates must be treated equally, regardless of their background, and the best candidates must be admitted…”

It was precisely because of these consecutive days of reporting that Song Yunping was able to enter university, so she cherishes this hard-won learning opportunity very much.

After learning all this, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly felt that life's encounters were truly amazing. Those names that he didn't want to hear or think about were mentioned by other people again today.

I also suddenly realized that the separation did not seem to be far away. The memory of going to Japan to participate in the Go friendly match and winning glory for the country is still vivid...

I went to another science conference.

Could it be that he suddenly turned into a university lecturer?

Zhou Xiaobai muttered to himself, not knowing why, and his heart began beating faster for no apparent reason.

With a creak, the door opened.

"This is your dormitory. You are the last one to register. There is no one else here now. For the time being, only the three of you will live here..."

The senior student was busy introducing.

When He Yushui saw Zhou Xiaobai, he was surprised and happy. He put down what he was holding and ran over quickly.

"Xiaobai, you actually got into college..."

"Sister Rainwater..."

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, feeling flustered, and his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the door.

"I never thought that we would be in the same class and live in the same dormitory. This is really great. I was just worried that no one would help me take notes in class."

He Yushui happily supported her arm and complained:

"How long has it been since you came to my house to play?"

"I, I'm reviewing..."

Zhou Xiaobai stuttered as she explained, her beautiful eyes looking out the door, her heart pounding with anticipation and uncontrollable excitement: "Sister Yushui, are you here alone?"

"No, I came here with my brother..."

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes, wanting to go out.

"If my brother knew he could meet you here, he would definitely be very happy."

He Yushui sighed and said, "Oh, what a pity. Boys are not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory. He threw his things to me and left. I wanted to walk around the campus with him..."

gone!

What is He Yushui talking about?

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't hear clearly, he just felt that the world suddenly became dim, and his originally cheerful mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

Gone, gone.

Just like that, we passed each other and walked away.

Does this mean that we are destined not to be together?

Zhou Xiaobai didn't understand, and wasn't sure. He just knew that he really wanted to meet him.

this moment,

The long suppressed emotions erupted like a volcano and could no longer be contained.

Peaceful days always fly by.

Before we knew it, it was already the golden month of October.

The reform of the steel mill has shown initial results.

It has driven the development of more than ten related factories.

In recent months, the stainless steel products on the market have become more and more diverse.

As a result, the first industry standard for stainless steel products was introduced.

Stainless steel is divided into different grades.

Only food grade 304 stainless steel can be used to make tableware and other daily necessities.

Because ordinary stainless steel contains lead,

If made into spoons, water cups and the like, harmful substances may be released when exposed to high temperatures. Although the toxicity is slightly and the harm is not great, it is still necessary to avoid it if possible.

As for non-high-temperature heating equipment such as dough mixers and steamed bun machines, the impact is relatively small.

Another leisure time.

He Yuzhu was resting with his eyes closed in the office when Director Yang knocked on the door and came in with a happy look on his face.

"Xiao He, good news, we are going to Japan."

"Japan?"

He Yuzhu was a little surprised, "What are you going there for?"

"We are going to study and learn about the advanced enterprise management experience there. Our pilot factory is also on the list."

Director Yang explained, looking excited and expectant.

"I heard that it's very prosperous there. It would be nice to go there and broaden my horizons. By the way, we have to wear the same uniform for this overseas visit. My sister-in-law said that your modified Zhongshan suit is of good style. We need to customize two sets for each person. Please measure the size and I will report it to you later. Also, we need leather shoes, so please report the shoe size as well..."

He Yuzhu held the stainless steel water cup, took a sip, his thoughts a little vague.

What a surprise! I didn’t expect to go to Japan again so soon.

Get off work as usual.

He Yuzhu mentioned the matter of going to Japan to Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye looked a little disappointed and asked with concern: "How many days will you be gone?"

"It's not decided yet. It seems that besides Japan, we may go to other places. It will take about half a month."

He Yuzhu hugged her gently and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"I don't want you to go after not seeing each other for so long."

Ran Qiuye hugged him tightly, feeling reluctant to let him go.

"This was an accident. I won't go out next time."

He Yuzhu smiled and comforted her.

I plan to tell my mom that I won’t participate in this kind of thing anymore.

At the same time, he was planning that after Yu Shui graduated from university and the reform of the steel rolling mill was basically stable and on the right track, he would resign and take his two wives and two precious daughters with him, and they would never be separated again, whether they went to Hong Kong or settled in the city.

Live a peaceful and comfortable life.

aside,

He Nianqiu, who was pretending to read a book, was a little dazed.

Dad is going abroad to Japan again.

There is no relevant record of this incident.

But then, he was spotted in a period photo.

Experts and scholars noticed this when they were sorting out these photos, and his figure can be seen in almost every photo of the era. The world was surprised to realize that such a person existed in the past.

Who is he?

Why is it there?

The curiosity of countless people was ignited, and all netizens worked together to uncover a corner of the secret hidden under time.

This visit to Japan has become a mark of an era.

Visiting the United States during the Chinese New Year and formally establishing diplomatic relations was also a "photo event."

From then on, the major countries lived in harmony and ushered in a golden period of development lasting ten years.

This is also a turning point in the international situation.

The confrontation between the jackal and the eagle.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and thus friendship was born.

Making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones is Xichang's consistent diplomatic strategy.

The eagle is happy to support a strong country next to the jackal, making the jackal uneasy.

It was also because of the friendly relationship with the Eagle that Japan had a series of subsequent economic cooperation plans.

After all, although Japan was rich at that time, it was just an eagle kept in captivity. If the eagle did not speak, it would be of no use visiting the whole world.

He Nianqiu vaguely remembered that this visit was really just a "visit".

And this visit seems to be a signal.
