Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

In fact, the original Liu Guangqi was just like other young people in the courtyard. He was full of natural fear of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, even though he had read so many years and could be said to have seen the world.

But the thoughts deeply rooted since childhood would not change because of these things, and the real reason that made Liu Guangqi change was naturally Zhou Jin.

Although Liu Guangqi hid in the crowd every time Zhou Jin had a conflict with Yi Zhonghai and others, he gradually discovered that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, who were originally at the top of the courtyard, never gained any advantage when facing Zhou Jin.

In particular, what Zhou Jin said was something Liu Guangqi had never heard before, but he felt that it made a lot of sense. After all, he had been educated for more than ten years.

It is no exaggeration to say that technical secondary school students of that era were chosen by heaven, so Liu Guangqi quickly understood what Zhou Jin said through his own methods.

It was also because of this that Liu Guangqi had a new understanding of the entire courtyard. Slowly, under Zhou Jin's subtle influence, he also changed, of course, for the better.

At the hospital, after receiving the money, Yi Zhonghai immediately notified the hospital and prepared for the operation.

The hospital urged Yi Zhonghai several times, hoping that he could have the surgery as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai had no money for the surgery at that time, so he declined with various reasons.

So when Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to suggest starting the operation, the hospital was quickly ready.

Just when the aunt returned to the hospital, Yi Zhonghai had just been pushed out of the ward and headed to the operating room.

An old lady supported the deaf old lady and waited outside the operating room.

An hour into the operation, the door of the operating room opened and a doctor came out and spoke to the middle-aged lady and the deaf old lady.

"You are Yi Zhonghai's family members, right?"

Auntie: "Yes, doctor, I am Yi Zhonghai's wife. May I ask how my husband is doing?"

Doctor: "So far, the operation has been relatively successful, but there is a problem now, and your family needs to make a decision."

Auntie: "You say."

Doctor: "The patient's lower body was hit hard, causing one testicle to be shattered and the other to be severely damaged. With our current technology, it is impossible to save both testicles at the same time. My suggestion is to remove the shattered testicle and do our best to save the remaining one.

Of course, I mean trying our best. After all, the patient was delayed for a day or two and his condition worsened a little. We cannot guarantee 100% that we can save it. If the situation is not right, we may remove both testicles.

So now we need your family to make a decision, whether to do the procedure or not. If you do, I can guarantee that there will be no impact on anything other than fertility.

If the operation is not done, the patient’s life may be in danger at any time if the condition worsens.”

When the old lady heard that she was going to have to remove her testicles, and possibly both of them, she was very worried. After all, if such an important thing was removed, how much impact would it have on her body?

But later when I learned that it would only affect fertility, I was instantly relieved. Anyway, the two of them couldn't have children, so it didn't matter whether they had fertility or not. It was better to save their lives first.

So the aunt made the decision without even consulting the deaf old lady.

"Doctor, we will cut it open. As long as we can save his life, that's all. Thank you for your help."

"Okay, we'll do our best."

After getting the answer, the doctor turned back to the operating room and closed the door again.

Watching the door close again, the aunt slowly sat back in her chair.

Only then did she remember that the deaf old lady was still there. She had just made a decision without discussing such an important matter with her, and the aunt was afraid of upsetting the deaf old lady.

So he turned around and looked at the deaf old lady and said.

"Madam, I was too anxious just now. I just wanted to save Lao Yi's life first."

Before the aunt could finish her words, the deaf old lady interrupted her.

"Xue Lian, you did the right thing. Life is more important than anything else at this time. I believe Zhong Hai will understand you."

"Ah."

Then the two fell into silence again, staring at the operating room.

About two hours later, the lights in the operating room went out and the door opened again.

The old lady quickly helped the deaf old lady to stand up, walked forward, and prepared to ask about the operation.

The doctor who came out spoke first.

"Family members of the patient, the operation was very successful. We have treated the wounds on both hands. As long as he takes proper care of himself, keeps up with the nutrition, and goes to the hospital for regular checkups, he will have no problem meeting his daily needs after recovery.

As for the injuries on his genitals, we tried our best to save one of the patient's testicles. As long as he takes medicine on time, supplements his nutrition, and goes to the hospital for regular checkups, he is theoretically still capable of reproduction.

During this period, you must take good care of the patient. After a week, if the patient has no major problems during the follow-up examination, he can be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate."

After hearing the news, the aunt and the deaf old lady were finally relieved. This could be said to be the best news they had heard in all these days.

Then the two of them pushed Yi Zhonghai back to the ward. Yi Zhonghai had not woken up yet because of the anesthesia.

"Old lady, what do you think we should do now? I may not be able to handle it alone!" An old lady said worriedly to Yi Zhonghai lying on the hospital bed.

The deaf old lady thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we go back to the courtyard first, and let Sha Zhu take care of our meals during this period. He cooks delicious food and can take good care of us."

The first lady nodded and agreed. After all, it would be a bit too much for her to take care of Yi Zhonghai who had just undergone surgery and the deaf old lady at the same time. The deaf old lady also knew this, so she did not refuse.

When the two returned to the courtyard, the third aunt was sitting at the door basking in the sun.

When she saw an old lady pushing a wheelchair back, she immediately stood up curiously, ready to go forward and satisfy her curiosity.

However, when she saw the deaf old lady in a wheelchair, her curiosity disappeared instantly. She didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the deaf old lady, so as not to cause any trouble.

So she just greeted the two of them politely, then sat down and continued to watch the gate.

After pushing the deaf old lady to the backyard, the aunt let her rest for a while while she went to the kitchen to get busy.

It's already noon, and Sha Zhu is cooking at the factory. He definitely can't come back in time to make lunch for the deaf old lady, so she has to rely on herself.

While cooking, she was thinking about Yi Zhonghai's condition and her heart was still full of worry.

After dealing with the matters in the courtyard, the aunt rushed to the hospital without stopping to take care of Yi Zhonghai.

At the steel rolling mill, after Liu Guangqi came back, he first cancelled his leave with the section chief, and then he ran to the factory director's office, hoping to ask Director Yang to say a few good words for Liu Haizhong.

After all, as a factory director at the department level, although his words cannot affect judicial justice, they can still play a certain positive role in sentencing.

Originally, Director Yang was unwilling to get involved in such matters. After all, it did not bring any benefits to him. However, he finally could not resist Liu Guangqi's constant nagging and agreed.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Director Yang agreed to help.

If we put aside the factor of the deaf old lady, Director Yang would definitely prefer Liu Haizhong more.

Although Liu Haizhong is not as good as Yi Zhonghai in terms of technology, both of them are senior technicians and the difference is not much. However, when it comes to training apprentices, their performance is simply worlds apart.

Yi Zhonghai firmly believes that teaching a disciple will starve him to death, so he always chooses to keep a secret when teaching his disciples, and sometimes even deliberately suppresses them. Jia Dongxu is the best example.

Therefore, after so many years of Yi Zhonghai training apprentices, the highest-level worker is only a fourth-level fitter, and the others are basically second- and third-level fitters. There are also several first-level fitters like Jia Dongxu, but Jia Dongxu is now an apprentice.

Some people may say that a person with good skills may not necessarily be able to teach his apprentices well.

But everyone should understand that for the job of a fitter, before the fourth level, as long as the master teaches you the correct method and you practice diligently, it is very easy to be promoted to the third level fitter within five years.

At this stage, there is no question of talent or the master's teaching. To exaggerate a little, all you need is hands.

However, Yi Zhonghai's subordinates are basically all below level four workers. It's not that he can't teach his apprentices well, but that he has never thought about teaching his apprentices well.

In stark contrast to this is Liu Haizhong, whose work grade has always been one level lower than Yi Zhonghai's. However, when Liu Haizhong was still a sixth-level blacksmith, he had two fifth-level apprentices and four or five fourth-level apprentices under him.

Moreover, among those who have worked with Liu Haizhong for more than two years, there is not a single first-level worker. All of them are second-level workers or above. If you were the factory manager, who would you prefer?

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai has too many thoughts and is extremely good at disguise.

But Liu Haizhong is different. Apart from having some technical skills, he is a complete fool in other aspects. Leaders are more confident in using people like him.

Moreover, Liu Guangqi is a technician in the factory. Although he is still in the internship period, as long as he passes the exam, he will be a technician and may become an engineer in the future.

With these two reasons, it is understandable that Director Yang finally decided to help.

Zhou Jin had been running around outside during this period, collecting information about Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady with Long Er and others, and he hardly ever stayed in the courtyard during the day.

Many of the situations in the hospital were overheard by Long Yi in the hospital, and then told to Zhou Jin through the system.

However, since the decision has been made to take action against Yi Zhonghai, obtaining key evidence has become a top priority.

As today happened to be Friday, Zhou Jin planned to inform Yu Shui about Yi Zhonghai's misappropriation of her living expenses after taking her back, and to go to Baoding together to find He Daqing tomorrow.

He hoped to completely solve the living expenses problem by the weekend and obtain He Daqing's authorization and all the evidence that Yi Zhonghai had misappropriated He Yushui's living expenses. Then he would only have to wait for Long Er and others to compile the information they had collected about Yi Zhonghai and send it to him.

At the same time, in order to avoid wasting time, Zhou Jin was worried that if he waited until tomorrow to go to the street office to get a letter of introduction, and then take the train to Baoding to find He Daqing, he might not be in time.

So Zhou Jin came to the street office in advance this afternoon, found Director Wang, and successfully issued two letters of introduction for He Yushui and himself to go to Baoding.

The reason was very simple and clear - to bring Yu Shui to visit He Daqing. Since Director Wang knew the reason, he easily obtained the two letters of introduction.
