Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Soon the second round of experimental products were produced. During the three days of waiting for product inspection, Baihu brought news that the five children of Lao Wang's family were persuaded to leave the hospital because Lao Wang used the excuse of having no money to delay time. This was exactly what Lao Wang wanted!

In Lao Wang's home, the brothers took turns wailing, disturbing the neighbors. At this time, Lao Wang took the initiative to stand up, first apologized to the neighbors, then hired a car to take the five people away, saying that he was going to find an old Chinese doctor for treatment, but in fact he quietly sent them back to the countryside!

Chen Zhiguo drove to their country house at night and felt like laughing. Are these people hiding something from themselves? They all want to live far away from the village. Don’t they know there’s an old saying: “The small secluded one should hide in the wild, the middle secluded one should hide in the city, and the great secluded one should hide in the court!”

However, such remoteness is exactly what Chen Zhiguo wants, and it facilitates his actions!

Chen Zhiguo waited in the car until one o'clock in the morning, put the jeep into the space, and then sneaked towards Lao Wang's house!

Old Wang’s house doesn’t have many rooms, but the yard is very large. There are three main rooms, east and west wing rooms, and an empty cattle shed that is full of miscellaneous items!

Chen Zhiguo climbed over the one-meter-high courtyard wall and entered. He slowly sneaked to the main room. At this time, there was a voice in the main room, "Are the children asleep?"

"Everyone fell asleep. Everyone took a few painkillers and fell asleep!"

"Didn't I tell you not to let them eat too much of that stuff? They will become addicted if they eat too much!" Lao Wang's voice was a little annoyed, and there was a slapping sound!

"What can I do? They're all crying out in pain. Can I just watch them die in pain?"

"Okay, go to sleep, I've been exhausted these past few days!"

There was no movement in the room, and soon snoring sounds were heard!

Chen Zhiguo sneaked in quietly and searched room by room. He took all the people in Old Wang's family into the space, but he didn't find much money, only a few hundred dollars and some bills!

Just when Chen Zhiguo was about to leave, the white fox jumped out, ran onto the beam of the main room, scratched on it a few times, and then threw down a long wooden box!

Chen Zhiguo jumped up and took a look. The hiding place was very cunning. A long groove was chiseled in the main beam, and the box was placed inside. Then it was covered with wooden veneer of the same color. If it was searched, it would never be found unless the beams were removed!

Just when Chen Zhiguo collected the wooden box and was about to leave, the white fox brought more news that there was a cellar under the abandoned cattle shed!

Following the white fox's instructions, Chen Zhiguo used the space to collect all the debris on the ground into the space, and then dug down another half a meter deep. Only then did he discover the cover of the cellar. It was really hidden deep enough!

Chapter 301 Liu Lan’s determination!

In the cellar, the hard work of several generations of the Wang family was hidden. There were ten large boxes. Chen Zhiguo took a quick look. Two boxes were filled with silver dollars. Chen Zhiguo curled his lips! One box of gold. Chen Zhiguo nodded! Three boxes of calligraphy and paintings. Chen Zhiguo thought, this is fine! Two boxes of porcelain. Chen Zhiguo thought, the more the better! There were also two boxes of miscellaneous jewelry, jade, etc. Chen Zhiguo said that he had the gifts for his wife in the future!

Of course Chen Zhiguo put all of this ill-gotten gains into the space. Anyway, no one from Old Wang's family would appear in the future. If he didn't take this wealth himself, it would benefit others!

Driving the GAZ-69, Chen Zhiguo headed northward and found a perfect place for the Wang family to stay in a deep mountain. After settling them down, he took advantage of the cover of night and rushed back to the guesthouse before going to work!

After quickly taking a shower and changing out of last night's clothes, Chen Zhiguo rushed to the experimental group's office. Today's experimental report was about to come out, and Chen Zhiguo also wanted to see the report on the successful experiment as soon as possible!

Sure enough, as soon as they got to work, Director Luo, Li Huaide and other leaders of the steel rolling mill came to the experimental team's office to congratulate them. The news that the steel had passed the inspection was reported to Minister Wang Liye at the first opportunity, and then the news was passed to the steel rolling mill, and finally to Chen Zhiguo!

In order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment, Chen Zhiguo arranged for another day of steel production. In the inspection report three days later, Chen Zhiguo's steel desulfurization and dephosphorization experiments were a complete success! This experiment realized the nationalization of special steel. Once the news was announced, it shocked the whole country, and Chen Zhiguo's name began to be gradually known!

The following days seemed a bit monotonous and boring to Chen Zhiguo. He began to arrange Jiang Yuehua, Luo Xue and other personnel to summarize and organize the experimental data and write a detailed report. Because these precious data need to be archived in the future for subsequent research.

At the same time, this also gave Chen Zhiguo a rare period of rest. However, before enjoying this tranquility, there were still a few things waiting for him to face - those activities that he was reluctant to do but could not avoid: the commendation meeting and the subsequent celebration banquet.

Although he had some resistance in his heart, Chen Zhiguo knew the importance of these occasions and the meaning behind them. So he had to pull himself together and throw himself into them...

In the spacious and bright conference hall of the steel rolling mill, the entire venue was decorated solemnly and warmly. The red banner hanging high up was particularly eye-catching with the words "Ministry of Industry's Special Steel Experiment Success Commendation Conference" in large letters.

Minister Wang Liye, Teacher Li Guoqiang and other leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Director Luo and Li Huaide’s steel rolling mill leaders sat on the rostrum!

Chen Zhiguo and his experimental team members sat in the front row, with big red flowers on their chests! The meeting was chaired by Director Luo, and Teacher Li Guoqiang gave a speech to commend Chen Zhiguo and his experimental team! Amid warm applause, Chen Zhiguo and his experimental team walked onto the podium. Wang Liye and other leaders of the Ministry of Industry presented them with honorary certificates and trophies to commend their outstanding achievements in the experiment. Finally, Minister Wang Liye gave a summary speech, which ended the morning commendation meeting! Chen Zhiguo's face was about to cramp from laughing!

Next, a celebration banquet was held in the largest private room in the steel mill's guesthouse! Of course, Chen Zhiguo was one of the protagonists of today's banquet!

Seeing Minister Wang Liye and Teacher Li Guoqiang handling the toasts with ease, Chen Zhiguo felt very uncomfortable. He felt that his face was not his own anymore, it was all stiff! The other people in the experimental group got drunk, while Jiang Yuehua and several other girls were not used to such an environment, so they ate something and left early!

So he took advantage of the fact that a group of people were surrounding Minister Wang Liye, pretended to be drunk, and staggered out of the big private room! He staggered towards the guest room on the third floor! Liu Lan, who had been secretly paying attention to him, saw this, looked around, and found that no one noticed her. She gritted her teeth, ran out of the private room, and supported Chen Zhiguo's body, "I'll help you upstairs to rest!"

There was a leader standing in the corridor who had just come out to sober up. Chen Zhiguo had no way of telling Liu Lan that he was pretending to be drunk, so he could only obey and let Liu Lan support him into the guest room on the third floor!

"Lie down for a while, I'll make you a bowl of sobering soup!" Liu Lan helped Chen Zhiguo lie down and whispered in his ear, but Chen Zhiguo pulled her into his arms! "Ah!" Liu Lan exclaimed,

"Little fool, can't you tell that I'm pretending to be drunk?" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile!

Liu Lan's face flushed instantly, her heart pounding with nervousness, but she was reluctant to leave Chen Zhiguo's arms. Gradually, Liu Lan put her head on Chen Zhiguo's chest. In the quiet guest room, the two of them hugged each other tightly, enjoying the rare time alone!

"Ah!" Liu Lan's exclamation woke Chen Zhiguo up, "What's going on?"

"It's getting dark! I fell asleep!" Liu Lan pointed out the window worriedly. It was already pitch black outside. The two of them fell asleep without realizing it.

"Then continue sleeping!" Chen Zhiguo said indifferently.

"But, but?" Liu Lan said hesitantly. The work was not completed and she disappeared. She didn't know how to explain it.

"It's okay. Just tell Chen Xiaohong or Chen Erya tomorrow that you saw me drunk and took care of me all night. They won't say anything about you!"

"Oh!" Liu Lan was a little embarrassed. In the afternoon, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms without realizing it. Now that they were awake, should they continue to lie together? Just as Liu Lan was struggling, Chen Zhiguo's gentle big hand reached out and hugged her again. "It's so late outside, why are you going back? It's already past ten o'clock!"

"Oh!" Liu Lan gave up the idea of ​​leaving and looked at Chen Zhiguo beside her. For the first time, she looked at him quietly, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Liu Lan shook her head. "How come you didn't even blink?" Chen Zhiguo smiled.

"I just want to see you. I don't know if I will have the chance to be with you like this again in the future!" Liu Lan said a little sadly.

"Little fool, actually, I have always wanted to say something to you!" Chen Zhiguo stroked Liu Lan's hair with his big hands.

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, if you meet someone you like, who is honest and capable, just marry her!" Chen Zhiguo stared into Liu Lan's eyes and said seriously,

In an instant, Liu Lan's face turned pale and tears began to fall, "You don't want me anymore, I know, I'm not worthy of you, I know, if you want me to get married, I will get married!" Liu Lan may have expected such a scene to happen, and she had anticipated it in her heart, but when she really heard such words, she still felt heartbroken!

"Little fool, why are you crying? Listen to me!" Chen Zhiguo tried in vain to wipe away the tears on Liu Lan's cheeks, but he couldn't wipe them away. He reached out and pinched Liu Lan's cheeks, "Don't cry, listen to me!"

Liu Lan gradually stopped crying and looked at Chen Zhiguo with sad and lost eyes.

"I'm young, so I don't want to delay you! Of course, this is not the main reason!" Chen Zhiguo put his finger on Liu Lan's red lips in time, "Listen to me, before I met you, I was already a junior in college. In college, I met a few sisters, they were all very nice to me, you should have seen them, they also attended today's banquet, but they left early!"

Liu Lan nodded, feeling more and more depressed and inferior in her heart. How could she compare with others? She had seen the girls around Chen Zhiguo, all of them were young and beautiful, and they were all college students! Their identities and statuses were simply incomparable. It was reasonable for Chen Zhiguo not to choose her, but her heart was getting more and more painful. Liu Lan clenched her hands tightly, and her nails dug into her flesh without her feeling it!

"In fact, I don't know how to choose between the four of them. Whoever I choose will hurt the other three. Similarly, if I choose you, it will hurt the four of them. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Zhiguo saw Liu Lan nodded and continued, "Originally, I wanted to delay it and make a decision when I was old enough, but I think it would be unfair to you if I did that. I would waste your youth and make you lose the opportunity to choose!" Chen Zhiguo stared into Liu Lan's eyes and said firmly, "I told you these things today so that you can choose your own life and grasp your own happiness. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I have already told my family that I will never marry in my life. I will wait for you. If you don't let me appear, I will never appear in your sight. I have also thought about my future and my future life, but I just don't want to leave you. Even if you don't want me, I will never marry anyone else!" Similarly, Liu Lan also stared at Chen Zhiguo's eyes and said what was in her heart firmly! Liu Lan already felt that if she didn't say what she had hidden in her heart tonight, she would never have such an opportunity again!

"Silly boy, this is very unfair to you, you know?"

"I'm not stupid, I know what I want. This is not out of gratitude. Of course, you did help me in the beginning! I feel that there is no room for anyone else in my heart. I have thought about it and compared you with others, but no one can drive you out of my heart. You are the only one in my heart!

I don't expect to marry you. I know my status is not worthy of you, but I can be your mistress. I am willing to be without any name or status as long as you let me stay by your side. If you get married in the future and your wife doesn't want to, or you are afraid that your wife will know, I can leave you at any time, but please don't ask me to marry someone else. In this life, I only belong to you!"

Liu Lan's confession deeply moved Chen Zhiguo. He didn't expect that he wanted to persuade Liu Lan to leave him, but now he was moved by Liu Lan! However, there was no time to think about it. Liu Lan kissed him regardless. This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss Chen Zhiguo, and the kiss was so wild!

The temperature in the room gradually rose... After a long, long time!

Chen Zhiguo gently stroked Liu Lan's panting cheek, "Go to sleep! Good night!"

Chapter 302 Xu Damao gets married!

Chen Zhiguo felt that he was going further and further down the path of being a scumbag and was beginning to become self-indulgent!

However, marriage is always a difficult problem, and it is really an unsolvable problem for Chen Zhiguo to live up to his wife's disappointment!

If you are troubled by emotions and have many worries in your heart, you must learn to divert your attention cleverly, keep yourself busy, and have no time to care about those troubles! Shortly after the success of the special steel experiment, Chen Zhiguo quickly submitted the design plan of the bottom-blown oxygen converter. Faced with such efficient and powerful results, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but wonder why Chen Zhiguo suddenly burst out with such huge energy? Is there any unknown secret hidden in this?

"Why are you in such a hurry to do the experiment? Is there something wrong? You are still young, you don't need to work so hard!" Li Guoqiang asked worriedly.

"Teacher, I actually had this idea for this experiment when I was designing the oxygen top-blowing furnace. I chose the top-blowing furnace because it is easier to design. Now that I have time, of course I have to design the bottom-blowing furnace as well!"

“What are the benefits of such a design?”

"The advantage of a bottom blowing furnace is that oxygen is blown into the melt through the spray gun at the bottom of the furnace, and cooperates with the spray gun on the top to achieve better melt stirring and chemical reaction control. Of course, it is much more complicated in design and production, but it can save time and energy!" Chen Zhiguo explained briefly!

Li Guoqiang did not persuade him too much, because he knew that it was a good thing for young people to have drive. Undoubtedly, the experiment was still arranged at the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.

This decision made Lao Luo and Li Huaide very excited. The last experiment on special steel was a huge success, which made them shine in front of many peers. You know, among the many large steel companies in the country, Hongxing can only be regarded as an inconspicuous little brother. Now, those industry giants have come to visit and learn, how can Lao Luo and Lao Li not feel proud?

During this period, the reception work of the guesthouse was extremely busy, but no matter how busy it was, no matter how many guests there were, the guest rooms reserved for the experimental team were never open to the public. Lao Luo issued a strict order: "These rooms must be preserved!" He understood that the experimental team was crucial to the entire factory and must be given the best protection.

Of course, even if the experiment was approved, Chen Zhiguo did not enter the steel rolling mill in time. He just arranged for Lao Shen, Luo Xue and others to enter first to print the drawings and do preliminary preparations. He had to be a best man again, as Xu Damao was getting married!

Ever since Liu Guangqi got married, the dining method proposed by Chen Zhiguo has become popular in the Siheyuan. This method was verified again during the full moon celebration of He Yuzhu's child, and the effect was as expected. Therefore, when Xu Damao got married, he also adopted this dining method!

Xu Damao's wedding procession consisted of Chen Zhiguo, Liu Guangtian, and one of Xu Damao's younger brothers! Liu Jianping and Zhang Yongjun, two of Xu Damao's apprentices, also wanted to join the procession, but Xu Damao scolded them, "I'm getting married, and you two are best men. Do you think you're my equal?" In fact, Xu Damao was not satisfied with Zhang Yongjun's honesty. He thought he was stupid and would easily embarrass him if he went, so he didn't want to take him!

Yan Bugui wanted to let their second son, Yan Jiefang, be the best man. His age was right, but Xu Damao refused. It was good enough to let Yan Bugui write the gift list. Xu Damao felt uncomfortable letting Yan Jiefang be the best man. He was worried that he would have less cigarettes and candies. Chen Zhiguo laughed at him for being too stingy. Xu Damao also talked about Yan Bugui's stinginess. However, the current Siheyuan basically did not have much contact with Yan Bugui's family! Only Yan Jiecheng could get their approval and participate in it!

After the last incident, Liu Guangtian gained the recognition of Chen Zhiguo and successfully joined the young generation group of Siheyuan!

After several days of relaxing and leisurely recuperation in the hospital, Liu Guangtian was finally discharged. Lao Wang refused to pay the medical expenses on the grounds that he had no money, so there was no point in staying there any longer! Chen Zhiguo and He Yuzhu stepped forward and jointly paid for Liu Guangtian's medical expenses, which they had agreed on before!

Not only that, they also hosted banquets for Liu Guangtian to drink. As time went by, Liu Guangtian gradually integrated into the younger generation of the Siheyuan community and became an errand boy. For Liu Guangtian, this feeling of being accepted and valued was unprecedented; since he was old enough to understand things, no one had ever treated him as well as Chen Zhiguo and given him the respect he deserved.

From then on, Liu Guangtian had deep feelings and loyalty towards Chen Zhiguo and was willing to go through fire and water for him!

Liu Haizhong, He Daqing and others were worried for a while after knowing that the Wang family had run away together. During that time, Liu Guangfu, Chen Xiaoyue, Chen Xiaoli and Chen Xiaomei were picked up and dropped off by special people when they went to and from school, which made them a little nervous. Chen Zhiguo had no way to tell the truth about the Wang family and could only let it go and watch them worry. However, now his vigilance has gradually relaxed!

In the early morning, before the sun rose completely, Liu Guangtian ran over impatiently. Once in the yard, Liu Guangtian helped Chen Zhiguo clean the car and wipe the body without saying anything.

Meanwhile, the groom, Xu Damao, looked energetic in a neatly-dressed Mao suit. His carefully combed hair was so shiny that even flies could hardly stand on it. Xu Damao wore a bright red flower on his chest, with a joyful smile on his face, and he kept passing cigarettes to the people around him!

Xu Damao's girlfriend's home was also near Nanluogu, so the departure time was set at 9:30! Amid the sound of firecrackers, Chen Zhiguo drove Xu Damao and others out!

Nowadays, weddings are kept simple and there are no rules to follow. At half past ten, Xu Damao took Li Yuhua's hand and got into the car. There were many alleys in Yanjing, and Chen Zhiguo had many choices if he didn't want to go back. This time, Chen Zhiguo listened to Xu Damao and drove them around the square before taking the bride home!

The procedure was the same as Liu Guangqi’s wedding, and the wedding was hosted by Chen Dayong. After the three steps were completed, they started eating and drinking!

He Yuzhu dropped the big iron spoon in his hand, ran over with the bowl of food, and pushed Liu Guangfu aside, "If you don't want to drink, go eat somewhere else!" He sat at the table and complained, "You guys didn't wait for me when you drank!"

"Why are we waiting for you?" Chen Zhiguo said to him.

"Drink, this is Xu Damao's wedding wine, you can't drink too much!"

Chen Zhiguo glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "There's another jar over there. Just take it and drink it! No one will fight with you for it! Aren't you ashamed?"

He Yuzhu was not angry, he was used to it, he picked up the wine glass and started drinking! Now there is a little devil He Xiao in the family, this is Chen Zhiguo's bad taste, He Yuzhu asked him to name it, Chen Zhiguo gave it this name without thinking!

Yu Li went back to work after one month, and the child was given to Chen Wanyi to take care of. This also made Chen Wanyi enjoy being a mother, no, it was the addiction of being a grandmother! Yu Li rode her bike back twice a day, feeding the child and then going back to work. It also happened that the guesthouse was very busy during this period. The weight she gained from confinement soon became thin, which made Chen Zhiguo's wish to see Yu Li gain 30 pounds go to waste!

Actually, Chen Zhiguo just wanted to know if He Yuzhu would say something like Zhu Bajie's second aunt's famous saying when Yu Li became a fat man! Of course, this was all Chen Zhiguo's evil taste and he didn't tell anyone!

He Yuzhu is craving for wine now. He has no time to drink at home. Every day when he comes home, He Yuzhu has to cook and take care of the children. Yu Li and He Daqing are busy until very late! He Yuzhu can't let Chen Wanyi, who is tired all day, continue to take care of the children, so after dinner, the two take turns to eat. He Yuzhu takes care of the children and Chen Wanyi washes and rinses. They have no time to touch the wine bottle! Today is finally a break!

"Take it easy, you won't be able to take care of the child later?" Chen Zhiguo saw that He Yuzhu had drunk four or five glasses of wine in a short period of time, and kept trying to dissuade him!

"It's okay, Aunt Chen is at your house. You have a big family and someone is watching over you!" It's the same on weekdays. Chen Wanyi is really too busy to handle everything at home alone. Chen Zhiguo has many people in his family who can help take care of the child. And if the child is really hungry, Jiang Xiaohua can feed him!

Chen Zhiguo nodded and ignored him. It was a rare opportunity to relax. Chen Zhiguo had heard He Yuzhu complain that he wanted this child especially when he didn't have one. But when he really held the child in his arms, he realized that this was his ancestor, a big devil! Two people taking care of a child would be exhausting!
