Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Chen Zhiguo nodded. He could probably guess why Chen Dalong came. It was probably because they had stopped purchasing rabbits from Chenjia Village before the New Year. Come to think of it, it was almost time to get anxious!

This matter is easy to handle. Now it depends on Chen Dalong's attitude! After all, Chen Zhiguo's surname is Chen, and he really can't completely cut off the connection with them! After all, grandpa and grandma still have to go back to live, the ancestral graves are still there, and they have to go back to worship their ancestors every year. It is definitely not okay to make the relationship too stiff, but the necessary warnings are still necessary, and those blindly confident elders cannot be easily let go!

Chen Dalong remained calm until after dinner. Wang Meihua took Chen Xueru and Jiang Xiaohua to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes, leaving grandpa, grandma, Chen Dayong and the others in the living room to talk about things!

Chen Dalong then spoke, "Zhiguo, can you talk to the steel mill and ask them to continue purchasing rabbits from our village?"

Chen Dalong is now in a dilemma. When it came to Chen Weijun's matter, he did not strongly stop Chen Dahe and Jiang Cuihong, did not make his attitude clear, and did not suppress those brothers who came to intercede for them. This led to grandpa and grandma leaving home and moving to the city, and also caused Chen Zhiguo to lose confidence in the entire village!

The rabbits in the village were provided by Chen Zhiguo, and the purchase was also arranged by Chen Zhiguo. Chen Zhiguo also arranged for many young people in the village to work in the city! Logically speaking, getting so much from Chen Zhiguo is a huge benefit in the eyes of others, and they should protect Chen Zhiguo's interests everywhere!

But when it comes to Chen Weijun, Chen Dalong actually still takes into account his brotherhood with Chen Dajiang and does things in a clumsy way. Moreover, some people in the village think that Chen Zhiguo is a junior and should give way to the elders! They defend Chen Dajiang and his wife and ask Chen Zhiguo to let Chen Weijun go! What a big joke, they really think Chen Zhiguo is a good person!

Grandpa and grandma saw through their thoughts, so they left their home where they had lived for decades and moved to the city! They were afraid that if they continued to live there, they would harass Chen Zhiguo when he returned to the village!

This also led to Chen Zhiguo completely disregarding the affairs of the village. He stopped purchasing rabbits, and at the same time, all the children from the families who had shown off their seniority in front of Chen Zhiguo were fired by the factory if they could retire, and those who could not be fired were transferred from technical positions to heavy physical jobs, such as boiler rooms, foundry workshops, etc.!

After this series of operations, the honest villagers suffered an undeserved disaster, and those who relied on their status as elders were indignant at first and cursed in the village, but as time went on, they became the object of ridicule and abuse! They were spurned by the villagers wherever they went, like rats crossing the street!

There were also villagers who wanted to sell rabbits on their own. Before the New Year, Chen Zhiguo arranged tigers to block their way out of the village. He didn't do anything about it after the New Year, but they didn't have time. In spring, the villagers had to work in the fields. They didn't have time to go to the city alone. Besides, it was impossible for Chen Dalong to issue them letters of introduction every day!

Some people also suggested contacting other units to come and purchase, but Chen Dalong just said, "Whoever brings people here, I will drive them out of the village!" If they really want to leave Chen Zhiguo alone, then all relations will be severed. Chen Dalong knows the importance of immediate and long-term interests!

But the village’s problems had to be resolved, so Chen Dalong shamelessly came over and sought Chen Zhiguo’s help!

Chapter 283 Bad people can also do good things!

Chen Zhiguo smoked a cigarette and added hot water to their teacups before saying, "Chenjia Village was built brick by brick by our ancestors. Of course I want it to develop better and better, and I have also done a lot of work selflessly! But what do I get in return?"

Chen Dalong's face flushed, but he had to endure the scolding. He owed it to Chen Zhiguo! Chen Zhiguo was selfless, but he also enjoyed the ruthlessness that he shouldn't have!

Chen Zhiguo ignored Chen Dalong's embarrassment and continued, "In such a development process, control is very important. After all, it is difficult to achieve a balanced distribution of benefits. This will lead to some people being unbalanced and disloyal, and it is inevitable that some people will do bad things. Uncle, I just want to ask you a question, Chenjia Village, can you absolutely control it? Can all the villagers listen to you?"

Chen Dalong lowered his head and remained silent!

"Uncle, we can see from what happened at the beginning of the year that there are many different voices. This shows that everyone still has a lot of ideas. I think you should go back first. Only by unifying our thoughts can we work together and develop together!"

Chen Dalong remained silent, just smoking silently! Grandpa, grandma, and Chen Dayong also did not speak. Now in the old Chen family, Chen Zhiguo is the boss!

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"Have you finished talking?" Seeing Chen Zhiguo coming back, Chen Xueru came forward and took his coat. Jiang Xiaohua brought water for washing feet, "Hurry up and sit down and wash your feet!"

Chen Xueru smelled Chen Zhiguo's coat and said unhappily, "Smoke less in the future. This coat smells like cigarettes!"

"I don't smoke much, it's just my uncle who smokes a lot. My grandpa is taken care of by my grandma, my dad is taken care of by my mom, and now I have you to take care of me! How could I smoke a lot!" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile. With his physical fitness, smoking ten packs a day would not have any effect on him. Now that he has work, he comes into contact with more people on a daily basis, so he carries a pack of cigarettes with him when he has nothing to do, which makes it more convenient to communicate with others!

Chen Xueru was delighted to hear what Chen Zhiguo said, and her face was full of smiles, but she spat softly, "Virtue, who cares about you!"

This period is the happiest time for men. In addition to earning money to support the family, when they get home, they are the bosses. Washing clothes, cooking and taking care of children are almost all women's business! What woman would care about a small matter like smoking? They will also think that such men are manly! At this time, there is no propaganda that smoking is harmful to health. Not to mention at home, even in public places, on the bus, on the train, in the cinema, and even in meetings, smoking is normal, and no one will care!

"Oh! If you don't care about me, then let Sister Xiaohua take care of me from now on!" Chen Zhiguo chuckled.

Jiang Xiaohua, who was washing Chen Zhiguo's feet, quickly waved her hands and said, "I don't care, I don't care, let Sister Xueru take care of it!" Who knew that her wet hands would cause water droplets to fly all over Chen Zhiguo's face. She then quickly got up and took a towel to wipe Chen Zhiguo's face. Chen Xueru next to her laughed!

Chen Zhiguo pulled her over and slapped her twice, which made her stop laughing with her charming eyes!

After washing up, the three of them squeezed on the bed and whispered, "Uncle, what's the matter with you coming here this time?" Chen Xueru also called Chen Dalong "Uncle". She snuggled up to Chen Zhiguo and asked in a tender voice,

"What else could it be? It's just something in the village. Every household used to raise rabbits. Now they want to find a buyer for the rabbits?"

Chen Xueru didn't know what happened before, and asked in confusion, "Are rabbits still hard to sell? Isn't our second uncle a buyer? Can't we just leave it to him?"

Chen Zhiguo did not intend to hide anything, so he told the whole story.

"Are these people not clear-headed? They can't tell who is more important than who is less important. You have done so many things, but you have to compromise just because you are a junior? They are a little too self-righteous!

Helping you is a favor, not helping is my duty! Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you! How can these people be like this? They use these non-standard moral standards to measure, restrict and oppress you. It's so hateful! In my opinion, you should not have cared about them in the first place, a bunch of ungrateful wolves! "Chen Xueru said angrily,

"I didn't really understand these things before. I always simply thought that as long as I had the ability, I would help. We are all fellow villagers, we all have the same surname, and many of them are elders! But in the end, when something like the Wei Army happened, they all advised me to be magnanimous? I am the victim, okay? According to their theory, I am fine and not hurt, so I should consider family affection and forgive them. How can this be justified? When they dealt with me, why didn't they consider my situation? Isn't this double standard?

From that time on, I understood that people’s hearts are different and human nature is selfish. The most hateful thing is my elders. In fact, they all know that what Chen Weijun and Chen Dahe did was wrong, so why didn’t they stop them? Instead, they persuaded me to give in. Because they thought that if they had any problems in the future, they could also ask me to give in and help them! "When he thought of this, Chen Zhiguo was still indignant and smiled bitterly.

"Really? There are so many elders, but not one of them is reasonable. Isn't the village chief the boss? He doesn't even care about it!"

“How can he manage? We are brothers of the same generation, he can only play the role of a peacemaker. The reason why grandpa and grandma came to the city is because they are afraid that it will be difficult for me to live a normal life. They are afraid that I will feel disgusted with Chenjia Village from now on. They are also afraid that if I stay at home, someone will come to plead for me!” In fact, the reason that really made Chen Zhiguo angry was that because of the unreasonableness of this group of people, his grandparents were forced to leave the home where they had lived for decades and hide in the city!

"The reason is still because of the old man. If he had been tougher, they wouldn't have dared to make trouble!" Chen Xueru analyzed.

"Yes! If he had unified the internal affairs earlier, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened! So this time when he comes, I still have this attitude. Take control of everything first, and then come and talk to me. I will not participate if the discordant voices in the village are not eliminated!" Chen Zhiguo said firmly.

At this time, Jiang Xiaohua was already crying. Chen Zhiguo pulled him into his arms and said softly, "Okay, don't think about the past. Just stay by my side now!"

"Yeah! Yeah!" Jiang Xiaohua lay on Chen Zhiguo's chest and nodded!

"They are just a bunch of bad people who are disrespectful to their elders and self-righteous!" Chen Xueru said angrily!

Chen Zhiguo stroked Jiang Xiaohua's back and said, "There are actually a lot of bad people in this world! Some people are self-aware and know that they are bad guys with pus on the soles of their feet, but there are many people who, even if they are bad guys, will still say that they are good people! I once heard a story!"

"What story? Tell it quickly!" Chen Xueru grabbed Chen Zhiguo's arm, and Jiang Xiaohua with tearful eyes also opened her eyes wide and looked at him!

Chen Zhiguo cleared his throat. "During the Anti-Japanese War, some students had to run from the occupied areas to the rear to go to school! When they arrived at the blockade, the puppet army controlled by Xiao Ri was guarding the gate. These students were well disguised and prepared, and their documents such as family visit certificates were complete, but the puppet army officers on the blockade waved their hands without even looking at them, saying: "Tell the truth and I will let you pass!"

Finally, there was no other way, so a student had to run to his ear and whispered: "We are going to the rear area to study." The puppet army officer said: "If you had told the truth earlier, we would have let you pass, wouldn't we?" Then he really let them pass.

Many years later, students recalled the mentality of this puppet army officer and found it very interesting. He was a traitor, his conscience could not bear it, but he was unwilling to do good things secretly. He had to let people around him know that he was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han. From this, we can see that no one can bear to think that he is really a bad person, and he will think that he is a good person! "

Chen Xueru thought about it for a while, and then said, "People and things that have happened cannot be changed. His identity as a puppet soldier is a fact. He is a bad guy. He is seeking psychological comfort! Just like the elders in your family, they think they are doing good for you, but in fact they are helping the evil! They think they are good people, but in fact they are bad people!"

Chen Zhiguo smiled and continued, "Yes! No one thinks that he is a bad person. The puppet soldiers may not have surrendered to the easy life out of their own will. Those external temptations made them give up their dignity and become puppet soldiers, but they could not bear the oppression of the environment. It can be regarded as an alternative double-faced person. In his heart, he still thinks that he is a good person!

Moreover, "bad guy" is a label given by others, and it is others' recognition of him! Every "bad guy" thinks he is a good guy, and has a suitable reason to prove the rationality of the current behavior or is forced to do so. This can understand the behavior of some people. For example, the elders in my family treat me like this. In their hearts, they think they are good people, and what they do is good for me! But in my eyes, they are bad people, using so-called morality to suppress me!

"Man is born good", I think no one wants to be a bad person, nor will they admit that they are a bad person! In the minds of most people, even if they do something wrong, they will think that they "have to do it"!

Moreover, when we judge whether a person is good or bad, we always make judgments based on our own starting point or the commanding heights of ethics and morality! This is very contradictory. Who is right and who is wrong? "

Chen Xueru shook her head, "It's too profound, I don't understand it!" Jiang Xiaohua was also confused, looking at Chen Zhiguo,

Chen Zhiguo smiled and said, "Forget it if you don't understand. In fact, it's just one sentence. A bad person will not admit that he is a bad person. When he does something, he may think that he is doing good things!"

(The above story comes from the story sharing of my good friend Master and the story commentary of the Prime Minister! Slightly modified!)

The next day, Chen Dalong left in a hurry after breakfast, and his grandparents did not try to keep him. Chenjia Village was their final destination after a hundred years, and it was also the ancestral home of the family. If they could not form a unified thought, it would be troublesome to go back in the future. It would be better to see if Chen Dalong had the courage to make a change!

Chapter 284 Liu Lan comes here to pay back the money!

Chen Zhiguo didn't take it to heart, but continued to be busy. The design draft of the CNC machine tool had already been submitted, and Chen Zhiguo started a new design. This time the design direction was the dephosphorization converter and desulfurization converter, which were derivative products of the oxygen top-blown converter!

The steel produced by the desulfurization converter has the following characteristics:

1. The desulfurization converter can effectively reduce the sulfur content in steel and improve the quality of steel.

2. Lower sulfur content helps improve the toughness and weldability of steel, making it easier to process and weld.

3. Desulfurization treatment may improve the strength of steel.

4. The desulfurization process can reduce defects and flaws on the steel surface and improve the surface quality.

5. Desulfurization technology helps reduce the emission of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and has good environmental performance.

The steel produced by the dephosphorization converter has the following characteristics:

1. Dephosphorization treatment can effectively reduce the phosphorus content in steel and improve the purity of steel.

2. After dephosphorization, the toughness and ductility of steel are usually better, and it is easier to process into various shapes.

3. The strength of steel that has been dephosphorized may be improved, making it perform better under heavy load and high stress conditions.

4. Reducing the phosphorus content helps to improve the welding performance of steel and reduce welding defects.

5. The improvement of purity may make the steel have better corrosion resistance, especially in some special environments.

The successful design of the oxygen top-blown converter has doubled the output of steel! After satisfying the production of ordinary steel, Chen Zhiguo set his sights on the production of special steel! The successful design and production of these special steels will enable heavy industry products such as large machinery and shipbuilding to develop by leaps and bounds!

Therefore, Chen Zhiguo focused his next research direction on these two aspects!

This time, Chen Zhiguo did not plan to do it alone. He subdivided the experimental project into many small projects and asked Lao Shen, Wang Qiang, Luo Xue, Jiang Yuehua and others to participate in it. While leading them to do experiments, he also held classes and explained the theory to them!

Lao Shen, Wang Qiang and others were mixed with surprise and pain. What made them happy was that they could learn new knowledge and conduct new experiments!

The painful thing is that I haven't digested the theoretical knowledge of CNC machine tools yet, and I'm still trying to understand it! I have to start learning steelmaking technology here. I feel like a duck that just ate too much and now has to fill its stomach again!

Chen Zhiguo also understood their situation and deliberately slowed down the pace, combining theory with practice and arranging a large number of experiments. With the experimental observation data, it became much easier to understand the theoretical knowledge!

. . . . . . . . . . . .

The back house had already been cleaned up, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had moved in. Liu Haizhong then quickly cleaned up the rooms in his house, whitewashed them, pasted the ceilings, and moved in the furniture that had been ordered long ago. Now everything was done!

Liu Haizhong was in a dilemma about whether to invite guests. According to Liu Haizhong's idea, Liu Guangqi was the eldest son in the family, so the banquet should be grand!

However, the current conditions are here. You want to treat guests, but you can't even buy meat! Although the family has saved three pounds of meat tickets, the tickets alone can't buy meat! Liu Haizhong has been to the pigeon market and the black market secretly, but there is no harvest!

"Boss, what are you going to do about your wedding? I want to give you a grand wedding, but I can't even buy meat or vegetables!" Liu Haizhong smoked in frustration!

Liu Guangqi didn't hesitate and said directly, "Dad, let's not do it! This year is indeed difficult, and Wang Fang can understand it. When the time comes, every household can give out some candy and cigarettes, and have a happy celebration!"

"Dad, why don't you go find He Daqing? He's a cook, so he must have connections." Second Auntie asked.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Liu Haizhong slapped his thigh, "Boss, how many people are you going to hire?"

Liu Guangqi counted and said, "Dad, there are only a few classmates and colleagues from the department here, less than two tables of people!"

"Then add the table of people from the in-laws' side, plus the people from the courtyard, there will be four tables of people! I haven't counted the workers and apprentices here, if we count seven or eight tables, it won't be enough! No, won't that be too many? Too high-profile!" Liu Haizhong had a headache. If he didn't do it, he didn't want to let his eldest son, who he thought he loved the most, down on the most important thing in his life! Moreover, he had given so many gifts over the years, but he couldn't accept them. But if he did, he didn't know who to invite and who not to invite. If he wasn't careful, he would offend people!

I have to invite co-workers from the factory, my own apprentices, and also the people from the courtyard. This will make the matter too big. What should I do?

"Dad! Why don't you ask Uncle He and Uncle Chen to discuss this together? They are knowledgeable and experienced. Ask for their opinions!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. Guangqi, go buy two bottles of wine, and then see if there are any braised dishes. Buy some and bring them back! Go fry some eggs and make two more dishes. I'll go call them!" Liu Haizhong arranged things and hurried out the door!

Liu Haizhong not only called He Daqing and Chen Dayong, but also He Yuzhu and Chen Zhiguo. There is strength in numbers. Liu Haizhong was thinking about Chen Zhiguo's jeep, and wanted to ask Chen Zhiguo to help pick up the bride, so it was a good time to arrange them all at once!

"Old Liu, isn't this arrangement too high-profile?" After listening to Liu Haizhong's narration, Chen Dayong said worriedly,

"There are indeed a lot of people, and the food problem can be solved, but if we do this, it will be a big problem!" He Daqing also had concerns!

"That's why I asked everyone to come here and help me think of a solution to see if the guests can be treated without making others jealous!" Liu Haizhong picked up the wine glass and raised it!

The audience fell silent. This is a difficult problem, isn't it? A few years ago, this was no problem at all. Now is a difficult time. Such a big event will really attract attention!

Chen Zhiguo then thought of the buffet and said, "I have an idea, will it work?"

"Tell me quickly!" Liu Haizhong said hurriedly.
