Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 12 The First Machinery Factory

Yang Ning has learned a lot in the past two years following the old boss, so he still respects this old professor very much. At least he has real stuff in his hands and doesn't talk nonsense.

Looking at the application form of his favorite student in his hand, Professor Dong took off his glasses and rubbed his slightly swollen eyes.

"Mr. Hua wants you to continue studying mathematics with him. Would you like to consider it?"

"No, time is running out!"

Yang Ning knew that he only had two years to do what he wanted to do, and he wanted to use this time to achieve as much as possible.

The reason why Yang Ning chose the First Machinery Factory was not only because it was well-equipped, but also because he wanted to escape from that courtyard house.

Although everyone is quite normal now, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu are still loving father and filial son, Qin Huairu is also gentle and virtuous, and Jia Zhangshi is content with having children and grandchildren and doesn't make much noise.

After He Daqing ran away, Yi Zhonghai did not help his apprentice to get the He family's house. Xu Damao honestly followed his father to learn how to project movies. The Yan family was not as stingy as in the original book, it was just that it was difficult for others to take advantage of them.

On the contrary, Liu Haizhong has already shown some of the charm in the original novel. As his two children grow up, the shouting and crying of children shift from the middle yard to the back yard.

The deaf old lady didn't ask other families to send her a portion of delicious food. She just liked to order He Yuzhu around now and didn't covet his cooking skills.

In this era before the introduction of rationed tickets, everything seemed so peaceful.

But Yang Ning could feel that as their generation grew older, the atmosphere in the yard became more and more unstable.

The housing problems of the Jia and Yan families, the family education problems of the Liu family, the retirement problems of Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and the marriage problems of He Yuzhu have become increasingly prominent with the passage of time.

These problems are not the most important. The most important thing is the household registration issue of the several members of the Jia family, which may be the source of various conflicts in the future.

Yang Ning discovered that among the dozens of people in the hospital, only Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu and Banggeng had rural household registration.

If this continues for a few years, it will be a big problem for their family to have food.

The reason why Jia Dongxu was hung on the wall later might be because his family did not have enough food.

But Jia Zhang is convinced that they can get food from their land in the countryside, and she is unwilling to transfer her family's household registration to urban one, which makes people feel helpless.

In fact, the Jia family’s problem is easy to solve. As long as their household registration is changed to urban, and Qin Huairu is allowed to find a job, this will not only solve their food problem in the future, but the street will also consider their housing problem.

Not to mention the time just after liberation, even now before the full public-private partnership, it is still easy for Qin Huairu to find a job. After all, she has been to school and can read.

But although Jia Zhangshi doesn't make much trouble in the courtyard now, she just wants to enjoy her life. Who will do the housework at home when Qin Huairu goes out to work? Who will compensate for the loss of grain when their household registration is transferred to the city?
All I can say is that as long as the Jia Zhang family is involved, there is no solution to their problems.

As for the issue of He Daqing sending child support to He Yushui, Yang Ning also asked He Yuzhu about it, and Yi Zhonghai had already told him about it.

But He Yuzhu might have done it for face reasons. Since it was not given to him, he asked Yi Zhonghai to keep it and give it to He Yushui when she got married. He didn't believe that he could not support his sister.

So although the Siheyuan still has various problems, it has not developed to the extent described in many fan fictions.

But Yang Ning didn't dare to gamble. Who knew what would become of these people when the coupon era and difficult times came.

You have to know that after the death of Old Jia, before Jia Dongxu was fifteen, Jia Zhang was a famous shrew in the neighborhood. But later, considering that her son had grown up and was about to get married, she was more cautious about the impact, so she restrained herself a little.

He doesn't want to focus on these trivial intrigues in the future, so this can be considered as preparing for a rainy day.

Let's leave the yard matters to our parents, he's going to run away with the bucket.

The First Machinery Factory is located at Yuwangfen outside Jianguomen. It not only produces various mechanical equipment, but is also six kilometers away from Nanluoguxiang, which means it is a place where birds can fly freely.

"Student Yang, welcome to our First Machinery Factory for internship."

After reading Yang Ning's letter of introduction, the section chief in charge of personnel stood up, shook Yang Ning's hand, and spoke enthusiastically.

The head of the personnel department was in his forties and wore a Zhongshan suit.

After completing the internship procedures, Yang Ning was arranged to live in a nearby staff dormitory.

It is called a dormitory, but in fact it is just a private house nearby. Several single young men are squeezed into one room, which can be considered as a nearby accommodation.

Although the First Machinery Factory mainly produces machine tools, it also has some machines for producing other equipment. Yang Ning came here because some of his ideas can be more easily realized here.

After becoming familiar with the factory equipment with other technicians, Yang Ning received some drawing tools and plunged into the drawing room.

Yang Ning sketched out the original drawings of the equipment in his mind, and then he simulated in his mind machines that were exactly the same as the ones in the factory.

After several years of training, his spatial imagination ability combined with the quick calculations in his mind allows him to simulate the operating status of the machine directly in his mind.

So in Yang Ning's mind, various machines and equipment were adjusted again and again, and then changed their positions again and again according to different processes.

Yang Ning used the computing speed of billions of times per second to the extreme.

He ended the simulation only when he heard the bell for the end of get off work. He found himself so hungry that he felt dizzy.

"Phew! Fortunately, I got a special subsidy approved for myself before, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to support myself."

In fact, since knowing Yang Ning's situation, the higher-ups have approved special subsidies for Yang Ning, which are enough to support a family of three at that time.

This is enough for Yang Ning to turn on the super brain mode for three hours every day. After all, it is impossible for him to use this mode all day long.

Even so, when Yang Ning is needed, he will be given some extra rewards and will be provided with meals during his work.

After his parents knew about these subsidies, they did not touch them and let him handle them on his own, which is why Yang Ning did not starve to death in the past few years.

Under the horrified gazes of the workers in the cafeteria, Yang Ning simply finished the food of four ordinary workers.

"Wow, I've always heard of eating a cow a day, and today I finally saw it for real."

Yang Ning was about to wash the lunch box after finishing his meal when a leader in a Zhongshan suit came over, followed by several staff members who were obviously not ordinary people.
