Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Did you go to Lu Mingjie's place again?" Li Guoqiang asked without even raising his head.

"Yes, teacher!"

"Well, what do you think after reading those documents?"

"Teacher, these are some of my ideas. Can you take a look?" Chen Zhiguo handed over some of his ideas about assembly line production to the teacher.

Li Guoqiang picked up Chen Zhiguo's file and started reading it. "How could you have such an idea?"

"I think it is very time-consuming and inefficient for one person to complete the processing of all parts. Moreover, each person's processing techniques are different, so there will be errors in each batch of parts. I think setting a standard and having one person complete each process will not only be faster, but also reduce errors!"

"You have a good perspective on the problem. You can think deeply about it, which shows that you are attentive. Why is the production model like the assembly line not developed in China? One of the reasons is that once the production line model is used, the factory does not need so many workers. Moreover, when a worker only processes one step, how can his skills be improved? How can he be tested for a higher level of work? How can his salary be increased?"

Li Guoqiang's words made Chen Zhiguo feel a little ashamed. He hadn't considered so many issues, which was a disgrace to a time traveler. In modern times, people were paid by piecework, so there was no problem in opening a production line. At most, there would be different positions with different salaries!

But this era does have its limitations, and Chen Zhiguo still considers the problem according to the thinking of later generations.

"However, I think it is a research direction. When you have nothing to do, think about it carefully and see if you can combine the product production line with the improvement of workers' skills without reducing the number of workers. If you can find a point of compatibility between the two, you might as well consider it as an alternative topic for your graduation thesis. What do you think?"

This matter was proposed by Chen Zhiguo, so of course he had to come up with a solution! "Okay, teacher, I'll think about it when I get back!"

"Yes, don't rush into things. Take your time and think things through before you start! Also, the steel mill called me and told me that the worker who caused trouble in Workshop 7 has been transferred to work as a boiler operator. What do you think?"

"I have no objection, the teacher has the final say!"

"You're looking for something weak to pick on, but you're done for just like that. A factory with 10,000 employees can't even manage its workers properly!"

Chen Zhiguo didn't respond, but he knew that Li Guoqiang would definitely have some opinions. However, as a student, he still felt warm in his heart when his teacher defended him like this!

Director Yang was getting a little restless. Li Guoqiang only said "I know!" What did that mean? Did he agree? Or did he disagree? He had no choice but to urge the HR department to hurry up with the procedures. Soon, Chen Dayong became the deputy section chief of the transportation department. In fact, Hu Dagui had proposed to let Chen Dayong take the position to share his work, but he had rejected it. Now he was appointed inexplicably, which really made Hu Dagui think about it. But when he thought about the matter of the seventh workshop, Hu Dagui finally understood what was going on!

Recently, Liu Haizhong has been making trouble in the factory office building. He is a seventh-level blacksmith, and now he is going to be transferred to burn the boiler. If he was an apprentice or a young man, he could bear it with it, but he has been in the steel rolling mill for nearly 30 years. As an old employee, he would be afraid of this. Besides, it is a new society now, so Liu Haizhong is of course not afraid. He makes trouble in the factory office building every day, making Director Yang miserable. Later, he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he called the security department and locked up Liu Haizhong for two days. Only then did Liu Haizhong burn the boiler obediently. But this incident also caused a sensation in the entire steel rolling mill. There were all kinds of rumors, and Director Yang's prestige in the factory continued to decline!

Compared to the misery in Liu Haizhong, Chen Dayong is very proud and triumphant. He doesn't have to worry about his son's growth, his wife and daughter are very caring, and he has been promoted. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

Chapter 74 Return Home

From the backyard of the nearest courtyard house, there were often sounds of ghosts howling and screaming. Every day when Liu Haizhong came home, he would beat his two sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. If he didn't beat them up, he would not feel relieved and could not eat!

People in the courtyard often watched and tried to persuade them at the beginning, but as time went on, no one cared. After all, it was only natural for a father to beat his son!

It is said that Yi Zhonghai, who had tried to persuade Liu Haizhong earnestly, was so stunned by Liu Haizhong's words that his face turned black. He turned around and went home, and never cared about Liu Haizhong beating the child again!

As for the deaf old lady in the backyard, she has always been pretending to be deaf and dumb, and she will definitely not stand out. Xu Damao is even more cunning than a rabbit, so why would he go and cause trouble! Then the dark age of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu has arrived early! As for Liu Guangqi, he has a look of helplessness and fear!

Liu Guangqi graduated from a technical secondary school and was assigned to work in a steel rolling mill. He is now dating his classmate. The two have secretly decided to get married and have not yet told their parents. Liu Guangqi originally wanted to discuss this matter with his family, thinking that the matter would be settled after both parents met. However, now that something like Liu Haizhong happened, Liu Guangqi dared not say anything!

First, Liu Haizhong was a domestic violence, and he was afraid that the news would spread to his girlfriend's family. Second, the girl only had one daughter, and wanted a live-in son-in-law. Moreover, the girl's parents had some power, and Liu Guangqi also wanted to take advantage of it and become a small official! Liu Haizhong would never agree to a live-in son-in-law in this situation!

But now that his family has changed, he is very worried that his girlfriend will look down on his family, so he has the idea of ​​escaping from this family. Although he has never been beaten by Liu Haizhong, such a family makes him feel very depressed, especially after his two younger brothers were beaten, they looked at him with pleading and resentment! Sometimes, he also wanted to speak for his younger brothers, but when he saw the ferocious look of Liu Haizhong when he beat his younger brothers, Liu Guangqi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue! He didn't dare, he was afraid!

As the eldest son in the family, all the good things in the house are prepared for him. Liu Haizhong thinks this is what he should and must do. However, when he looks at his two younger brothers, he has a very contradictory mentality. He enjoys everything in the family with peace of mind, but at the same time he hopes that his parents can be nicer to his younger brothers!

At the same time, he was also worried whether his children would be affected if they lived together in the future.

When Chen Zhiguo finally got his work in order and had some time to rest, he returned home. When Wang Meihua, Chen Xiaoli, and He Yushui were chatting together, Wang Meihua told Chen Zhiguo stories about what happened in Liu Haizhong's family. Normally, Wang Meihua would not hang around the courtyard, and the main source of this information was provided by He Yushui who came back on Sundays and told them all kinds of gossip!

Chen Zhiguo also felt that Liu Haizhong deserved it. If he had spoken to him in person in front of his leader, he might have had a different opportunity! I can only say, Liu Haizhong, you chose the wrong path!

The person who was the happiest when Chen Zhiguo returned home was Chen Xiaoli. She hadn't seen her brother for a long time and she wanted to stick to Chen Zhiguo. Her little mouth kept talking non-stop, as if she wanted to express all the longing for her brother that had accumulated over so many days!

He Yushui on the side was also looking at her with envy, but He Yuzhu has changed a lot now and has started to care about her. All this is thanks to Chen Zhiguo in front of her!

Just as he was mumbling in his mind, he heard He Yuzhu's loud voice coming from the gate of the courtyard, "Zhiguo, Zhiguo!"

Soon, Chen Zhiguo ran out to open the door for He Yuzhu, "Look, what is this?" Then he saw He Yuzhu standing at the door holding a big black fish, looking very proud!

"Wow! This fish is really big. Where did you buy it?"

"I went to the market this morning and saw a man fishing with a fish in his hand. I caught it and decided to eat it today!"

"Okay! How about we try something new today?" Chen Zhiguo didn't bother to be polite with He Yuzhu. If you were polite with him, he would think that you didn't consider him a friend!

"New tricks? How to make it?" He Yuzhu immediately became interested when he heard there was a new way to make a dish!

Chen Zhiguo didn't want to make it today, so he planned to tell He Yuzhu how to make the pickled fish and let him figure it out on his own. "When I was having dinner outside, I heard a comrade who had just returned from a business trip to Sichuan and Shu tell me about this famous Sichuan dish, pickled fish!"

When he heard that it was Sichuan cuisine, He Yuzhu became more excited. Although he had the skills of cooking the family-inherited Tan cuisine, firstly, He Daqing passed away early and He Yuzhu did not learn all the skills; secondly, in the current environment, he did not have the opportunity to get so many high-end ingredients to practice!

He Yuzhu learned Sichuan cuisine from his master, so what he is good at now is Sichuan cuisine. When he heard about Sichuan cuisine that he had never learned, he became more interested, "Tell me how to make it in detail!"

Chen Zhiguo was not in a hurry. He went into the kitchen with He Yuzhu and began to talk about the method of making pickled fish. "To make pickled fish, you first need pickled cabbage, pickled peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. These are the key ingredients. Other ingredients include onions, ginger, garlic, dried chilies, and sesame seeds."

"I have all these, tell me!" As a Sichuan chef, He Yuzhu has no shortage of these ingredients.

"The preparation of fish is very simple. Slice the fish meat from both sides and cut it into fish fillets. Then add egg white, salt, cooking wine, pepper, and starch and marinate for twenty minutes. Add cooking wine, ginger slices, and scallion segments to the remaining fish head and fish bones and marinate for ten minutes. Then heat the oil in a wok, sauté the scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, add the sauerkraut and stir-fry. Next, add water and bring to a boil, add the fish head and fish bones, and you can decide how long to cook them. Then take out the sauerkraut and fish bones, put the fish fillets in the soup and cook them for a while. When the fish fillets are cooked, put them together. The fish fillets are on top. Finally, add hot oil, dry chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns and sauté them until fragrant. The heat must be controlled well and not too high, otherwise the taste will not be fragrant. The last step is to pour the oil on the dish. It is spicy and fragrant!"

After listening to this, He Yuzhu put the fish in the basin and ran home impatiently, "Wait for me to get something and I'll cook it when I get back!"

Chen Zhiguo was also happy that someone helped him cook. Chen Dayong was not at home today because a vehicle at the company broke down and he had to work overtime!

Seeing Chen Zhiguo and He Yuzhu together, Chen Xiaoli and He Yushui also picked up their books and started studying. This is the benefit of developing a habit. It can always remind you that there are still things that have not been completed today!

He Yuzhu ran very fast, as if he was being chased by a dog! "Why are you in such a hurry? Drink a glass of water first!"

"Wait a minute!" He Yuzhu ignored Chen Zhiguo and went straight into the kitchen. It must be said that He Yuzhu's cooking skills were really good. The thickness of the fish slices was almost the same. "I didn't dare to slice it too thin, because I was afraid it would break when I put it in the pot!" He Yuzhu saw Chen Zhiguo coming over to watch and hurriedly explained.

"I haven't eaten it either, so you decide for yourself!"

After He Yuzhu marinated the fish fillets and bones, he finally had the chance to drink the tea that Chen Zhiguo had brewed for him. "Hey, hey! I noticed that you're drinking a lot of good tea now!"

"These are all given by the teacher as a favor. I'll give you some later!" He Yuzhu knew who Chen Zhiguo's teacher was. He had asked about it a long time ago, but what he valued more was Chen Zhiguo's magnanimity. He was really generous to him!

"Then I'm in for a treat. I must not let Lao Wang know this time!"

"You should give gifts if you should. Don't be stingy. Get along well with your boss!" Chen Zhiguo said unhappily. He was so stingy even for a little tea. He didn't even think about how hard it is to buy tea nowadays. It's already a great enjoyment to be able to drink Gaosu!

"Okay, as long as you don't feel bad!" He Yuzhu suddenly said with a smile. Chen Zhiguo suddenly felt like he had been fooled by He Yuzhu and started to use his tricks!

But Chen Zhiguo doesn't care. These are external things. What he really cares about is the relationship between him and his family and friends, which is priceless!

He Yuzhu’s cooking skills are really good. The last step is to stir-fry the food, and the whole yard is filled with the mixed aroma of chili and peppercorns!

"Brother, what delicious food are you going to make?" Chen Xiaoli couldn't sit still anymore and poked her head out from the living room.

"Sour fish, it'll be ready soon!"

"I'm hungry, brother!"

"Got it!" Although he knew that Chen Xiaoli was just greedy, Chen Zhiguo still brought out the steamed buns made of two-grain flour, which were freshly heated and steaming hot. He Yuzhu was holding an enamel basin with freshly cooked pickled fish in it!

In the living room, Chen Xiaoli had already cleared the table. He Yushui was also called out by her. Chen Zhiguo distributed bowls and chopsticks to everyone. "Be careful, the fish has bones and is a bit spicy!"

"Got it, brother!" Although she was very greedy, she would not pick up her chopsticks until Chen Zhiguo and He Yuzhu started eating. Chen Zhiguo poured a glass of Fenjiu for He Yuzhu, "Come, let me taste your cooking skills!"

He Yuzhu and He Yushui started to use their chopsticks first, and then Wang Meihua, Chen Zhiguo, and Chen Xiaoli!

Spicy and fresh, the fish meat is tender! Chen Xiaoli felt it was a bit spicy while eating, and she was sucking and laughing while eating, but her mouth and hands never stopped!

"It can be spicier when cooked at work, but I'd use less chili when I cook it at home!" He Yuzhu didn't eat much fish fillet, he just wanted to taste how it tasted so that he could improve it next time!

"Yes, don't make the food so spicy at home!" Chen Xiaoli agreed with both hands. It was indeed a bit spicy for her!

"Shall I pour you some hot water to rinse it before eating?" Seeing how spicy Chen Xiaoli was, Chen Zhiguo couldn't help but give her a suggestion.

"No, it won't taste right!" I didn't expect Chen Xiaoli to be a foodie. She would rather it be a little spicy but still have the most authentic taste!

Spicy food has its benefits, too. It goes well with rice. Chen Xiaoli ate three steamed buns weighing two grams of flour at noon. "Walk around in the yard. Don't sit there. It's easy to get indigestion!"

"But I ate too much and don't want to move!" Chen Xiaoli touched her stomach and didn't want to move at all!

"Hurry up!" If Chen Zhiguo hadn't been accompanying He Yuzhu, he would have dragged Chen Xiaoli out for a walk. He Yushui, who was standing beside him, pulled Chen Xiaoli, "Come on, I'll go for a walk with you!"

"It's all Brother Zhuzi's fault!"

He Yuzhu almost spit out the wine he had just taken a sip of, and quickly swallowed it, "Why blame me?"

"It's because the fish you cooked is so delicious!" He Yuzhu loved to hear this and smiled happily!

"Come on, Brother Zhuzi, let me toast you!" Chen Zhiguo also raised his glass!

Chapter 75 Has He Daqing sent a letter?

On a leisurely afternoon, He Yuzhu drank a few cups of tea, put the tea given by Chen Zhiguo in his pocket, and went home to sleep contentedly!

But Chen Zhiguo was still busy, as He Yushui still had questions to ask. He took He Yushui's wrong answer book and found that his foundation was still a little weak. Although He Yushui was working very hard now, the lessons he had missed before could not be made up in a short time!

"It's okay. I've looked at all your questions. You're still confused about the formulas and don't know how to apply them. Look at this question..."

In the afternoon, Chen Zhiguo accompanied He Yushui in reading and studying, while Chen Xiaoli, after a nap, began to practice calligraphy on her own!

Chen Zhiguo didn't care, but she was able to practice on her own initiative, which showed that she had developed a hobby and a habit!

Chen Dayong got off work before the appointed time. Since his son was back today, he naturally didn't need to get off work on time, not to mention he was working overtime. If he didn't need the car urgently tomorrow, Chen Dayong would not have worked overtime today!

When he got home, he saw his daughter quietly writing calligraphy, his son explaining a question to Yu Shui in the room, and his wife-in-law making clothes in the room. This scene made Chen Dayong quietly leave the room again!

Standing in the yard, the slightly chilly late spring weather could not resist the passion in his heart!

After lighting a cigarette, Chen Dayong sat at the kitchen door, sitting quietly!

"Uncle Chen, you're back!" He Yuzhu shouted in a loud voice.

"Can't you speak a little more quietly? They are all studying!" Chen Dayong looked at He Yuzhu unhappily, and He Yuzhu subconsciously covered his mouth!

"Uncle Chen, let me tell you, I made a new dish today! I can tell you, it's so delicious that I ate so much at noon today! I even ate the soup with my steamed buns!"

He Yuzhu said excitedly,

"No matter how delicious it is, I can't eat it. Are you trying to tempt me?" Chen Dayong said angrily.

"How can that be possible! Uncle Chen, just wait, I'm going to go buy some fish right now, and I guarantee you'll swallow your tongue tonight!"

He Yuzhu ran away without waiting for Chen Dayong to stop him! Chen Dayong looked at his back and shook his head. He was so old, but still so impatient! However, in the past few months, he had clearly seen the changes in He Yuzhu. He looked like a normal boy! Although he looked older, his temper was still that of a 17 or 18-year-old!

Siheyuan, because there is no work today, the whole Siheyuan seems to have become relaxed!

Jia Zhang and several other women were sitting in the central courtyard, chatting while playing with the insoles in their hands. These insoles were several years old and the edges were shiny, but they were a necessity for chatting. Holding something in hand meant they were not sitting idle!

I saw He Yuzhu running back from the front yard like a gust of wind, back home, and not long after, he ran out again!

"I don't know what this Zhu is busy with all day long!" said an old lady, looking at He Yuzhu's back.

"He! He goes to that brat Chen's house every day. Even the little girl He Yushui goes to his house, like she's obsessed with him. How old is he, but he's already taken a liking to that kid from the Chen family. They're always together, shameless! I don't know what benefits that lame Chen gave them, to send such a big fish to his house!"
