Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 159 My father is a cadre now! (Please subscribe!)

Arriving at the slum where Uncle Lian lived, Yang Ning saw a lot of people gathered at the door of a house, including a few workers in work clothes.

My father was also here at this time, but he did not join the crowd to watch the fun. Instead, he and Xiangju were looking after Yang Hu and the other two at the door of Uncle Lian's house.

"Sister Xiangju!"

"Dad, what's going on?"

Yang Ning did not go over to watch the fun, but walked straight to his father, greeted Xiangju first, then squatted down to play with the two children in the stroller, looked at his father and asked.

"Boss, when did you come back?"

At this time, my father's work clothes were covered with oil and a few black bloodstains.

After seeing Yang Ning, he first asked in surprise, then glanced in the direction of the family surrounded by the crowd, and said with a look of fear: "Master Li was hit by a workpiece while working today. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would probably be dead."

"But the situation is not optimistic. Although the person is not seriously injured, the factory doctor said after examination that the shoulder bone was broken."

Xiangju saw Yang Ning coming, nodded to him with a smile, then pushed the two children back to the house.

"I remember that Master Li is at least a level 6 worker, how could he make such a serious mistake?"

Yang Ning was also puzzled after hearing this. Although accidents often occurred during this period due to production technology reasons, most of the people involved in the accidents were young people who had just entered the field or old hands who were just trying to get by and had poor skills.

The skilled master craftsman is very familiar with the machine he uses and can sense any slight error.

For example, Jia Dongxu in the original novel was hung on the wall not only because he was malnourished during that difficult period, but also because he had not learned enough skills.

If he had better skills, he would be able to hear any problems with the machine in advance.

"During this period, the factory has not accepted the production tasks of CNC machine tools, but the production of other machine tools cannot be delayed."

"Because of this, the factory's production tasks are heavy during this period. Master Li has many children at home and is under a lot of pressure at home, so he often applies for overtime. Who would have thought that something like this would happen today." The father sighed after he finished speaking.

Master Li is about the same age as him. He has five daughters and two sons in his family. The eldest daughter is just seventeen years old this year, and the youngest child is the same age as Yang Ning’s two sons and was also born last year.

That’s not all. Master Li’s parents are still living in the countryside, and Master Li has to give the two elderly people some living expenses every month.

His wife, Aunt Li, is like most housewives. She doesn't have a job and just stays at home to take care of the family.

The family depended on Master Li alone to support it. Now that the pillar of the family has collapsed, the family will have a hard time in the future.

"Luckily, he is an experienced worker. He dodged immediately after he realized something was wrong, otherwise the falling workpiece would have hit him on the head."

"Then the factory has no comment on this matter?"

Yang Ning looked around and found that until now, apart from the neighbors and a few workers, no factory leaders had come to take a look.

"The factory leaders are still in a meeting to discuss this matter, so they asked me to come and follow them. Once the results come out, we will deal with the situation accordingly."

The father wanted to reach for a cigarette again, but when he saw the two children in the stroller, he held back.

"Secretary Hu and his men are so careless. Why did they throw this matter on you?"

After hearing what his father said, Yang Ning began to have some complaints about the First Machinery Factory. His father was just an ordinary worker. Why did problems with the workers in the factory have to be thrown to his father to deal with? This was not the right way to pass the buck?

“Ahem!” Seeing that Yang Ning looked unhappy, his father coughed twice and then said embarrassedly: “In order to produce CNC machine tools, the factory has set up a new workshop. Master Li and I are both from that workshop, and I am the director of that workshop!”

"What the hell? Dad, are you a cadre now? When did it happen?"

After hearing what his father said, Yang Ningmian was stunned. How could he do this?

At this moment, Yang Ning understood what Secretary Hu and the others were thinking.

Although the CNC machine tools are now produced by their factory, the technical drawings have been sent to the Northeast. Given the current status of the Northeast in our industrial field, the production of CNC machine tools will definitely be dominated by the factories there in the future.

If the First Machinery Factory wants to maintain its targets, it has to use all its connections.

Although Secretary Hu and others did not know what Yang Ning was doing specifically now, they knew that he was definitely very powerful. The guests who came to his wedding alone were enough to show his role in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

What a coincidence! Isn't Yang Ning's biological father in his own factory? Moreover, he has strong skills, a clean family, and a powerful son. Isn't this a perfect candidate for the director of the CNC workshop?

If Yang Dagen becomes the workshop director, Yang Ning will be able to speak well of their factory for the sake of his father.

Although there was an intention to plot against Yang Ning, this was also a special instruction from the higher-ups, asking them to transfer Yang Dagen away from the production line to prevent any accidents from happening at work that would affect Yang Ning's work.

Isn't this just a matter of going with the flow? He completed the above instructions and also got closer to Yang Ning.

Of course, Yang Ning understood all of this, but he always felt that what Secretary Hu and his colleagues did was a bit unkind.

Of course, Yang Ning had no idea that there was more to this than what was going on here.

"The factory made the decision shortly after the Spring Festival." Yang Ning's father replied, but after seeing Yang Ning's depressed expression, he began to wonder, "Is there something else going on?" "Why, is there something wrong? Otherwise, I will refuse this position as director when I go back. In fact, being a worker is not bad."

Yang Dagen felt that he had become the director without knowing why. He did not think about anything else at the time and thought that the factory leaders valued him.

Now seeing the look on my son’s face, I am really worried that this director of mine will have an impact on him.

"It's okay, just do it if I tell you to, but you have to be more careful next time."

Yang Ning also thought it through at this time. Anyway, his father was now the director of the workshop. If he turned it down now, both sides would be embarrassed.

Besides, it is safer for my father to be a workshop director than to be a blacksmith on the front line, right?
My father is almost 40 years old now, which means he is about to enter the ranks of the elderly in this era. Yang Ning would feel a little worried if he were to continue working on the front line as a blacksmith.

Putting his thoughts aside, Yang Ning asked about the old man again.

"Dad, Master Li is in trouble, and the factory doctor can't handle it. Why didn't you send him to the hospital, but instead sent him back to see Grandpa?"

After hearing what Yang Ning said, his father smiled helplessly. "It's because since the old man moved here, he has been treating everyone when he has nothing to do, especially for injuries and bruises. I don't know who said that the old man's treatment effect is better than that of a big hospital. Sister-in-law Li really believed it, so she asked someone to send Master Li home and let the old man see him first."

Hearing this, Yang Ning also showed a strange expression, thinking to himself: "Who said that the rumors spread by those uncles and aunts in the alleys are all lies? Isn't this quite accurate?"

Although Yang Ning didn't know what the old man did in the past, when it came to treating injuries, the old man was no worse than the doctors in big hospitals.

After all, the old man was trained in Cangzhou before liberation.

After chatting with his father for a while, Yang Ning saw that the old man had not come out yet, so he told his father that he would go back and write back to his mother and the others, so as not to make the two of them worry about him being away for such a long time.

"Dad, should I go back and give my mom a letter?"

"Well, go ahead!" My father waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the crowd.

"Sister Xiangju, I'll take these two guys back first!"

If I couldn't call the old man back, I should at least bring my son back, Yang Ning shouted into the house.

After hearing Yang Ning's shout, Xiang Ju came out pushing the two children: "Look, the two children have just been fed. Let's go back and let Ying Hong wait for a while before feeding them again."

"Got it. Thank you, Xiangju."

Yang Ning smiled and said something to her, then took the two children and pushed them out.

At this time, Yang Ning saw a girl with red eyes and wearing patched clothes walking out of Master Li's house and saying something to the people gathered at her door.

As the girl spoke, she glanced at Yang Ning implicitly.

Yang Ning guessed that she might be Master Li’s eldest daughter, but he didn’t care. He nodded at her as a response and pushed the stroller out of the compound.

"Why did you come back just now?" When Yang Ning returned home, his mother and Hu Yinghong were washing vegetables in the yard.

But neither of them was focused on the work in their hands. While they were busy with their work, they would occasionally glance at the door.

Seeing Yang Ning coming back with his two grandsons, the mother and Hu Yinghong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Then the mother asked Yang Ning in confusion.

Yang Ning told them about Master Li. After listening, his mother sighed and said softly, "What a sin!"

Hu Yinghong had already come over and picked up the eldest child. Yang Ning quickly said, "Sister Xiangju has already fed him. You can feed him later."

"Oh." After hearing Yang Ning's words, Hu Yinghong responded and then hugged the boss curiously.

"Hurry up and cook. After you finish eating, let's go over there and see if there's anything we can do to help."

When the mother saw that the two children were safe and sound, she said something to Yang Ning.

“Okay!” Yang Ning also nodded. After all, even if it was the courtyard house in the original novel, if something like this happened to someone’s family, no matter how bad the relationship between the two families was, they would lend a helping hand at this time.

"Yinghong, don't go there later. Take good care of the two children at home."

Seeing that Hu Yinghong was still holding the child tightly, the mother said another sentence.

"Got it, Mom!"

Hu Yinghong said with a smile after hearing what her mother said.

"You!" Seeing this, the mother nodded at her helplessly, then went to the kitchen to busy herself.

"Hehe~" Hu Yinghong didn't care. In her heart at this moment, the two children were everything to her.
