The Boss of Yan's Family in Siheyuan

On May 14, 1965, the two children had just turned three months old.

Yan Jie is working at the headquarters as usual.

When it was almost noon, the radio in the office rang.

"At 9:59:10 today, our country successfully conducted an atomic bomb air blast test.

This marks that our country has become the fifth country in the world to possess nuclear weapons and be able to carry out air drops, after the Eagle Sauce, the Wooly Bear, the Niu Niu, and the Gallic Chicken. Let us work hard for this..."

Yan Jiecheng was still a little dazed after hearing this, and thought to himself: This is it, we will have apples from now on!

At this time, roaring cheers came from outside the office.

Yan Jiecheng looked through the window and saw the staff running around happily telling each other.

At this moment, a staff member broke in without knocking on the door and shouted: "Minister, minister, we also have an atomic bomb."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "Well, I just listened to the radio."

Later, Yan Jiecheng found an idle flatbed truck at the headquarters and pushed it to the department store in the headquarters.

This department store is a branch of Jingcheng Department Store opened in the headquarters.

After all, hundreds of thousands of people participated in the entire project.

The government is very good at providing logistical support.

There are more than a dozen stores opened.

The store has been open for a long time, and the salesperson also knows Yan Jiecheng and knows that he is a leader of the headquarters.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng pushing a flatbed cart to the door, he asked curiously: "Minister Yan, why are you pushing the cart by yourself?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "This is not listening to the radio. We will not be afraid of being bullied in the future. We feel happy, so we are going to treat everyone to eat popsicles."

When the salesperson saw Yan Jiecheng pushing the trolley, he was very surprised. How much does it cost?

Yan Jiecheng smiled and asked: "How many popsicles do you have here?"

The salesperson smiled and said: "There are also about a hundred Arctic milk popsicles and about three hundred fruit popsicles."

Yan Jiecheng silently calculated in his mind and said, "Put them all on for me."

The salesperson smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, please wait a moment, we need some time."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and nodded.

These days, you don’t need a ticket to buy popsicles, otherwise Yan Jiecheng really wouldn’t be able to buy so many.

Why don’t you need a ticket to buy popsicles?

The first thing about popsicles is that you don’t have to worry about people hoarding them in large quantities and driving up prices.

Second, we are poor. Many people can’t even afford popsicles worth three to five cents.

Not to mention popsicles in the village, even the money to buy salt and soy sauce has to be dug out of the buttocks of chickens.

Soon, Yan Jie had his popsicles ready, and the salesperson packed them in two large wooden boxes for him.

There are less than 500 popsicles in total.

Milk popsicles are five cents each, and fruit popsicles are even cheaper, only three cents.

So Yan Jiecheng paid dozens of dollars.

After paying the money, Yan Jiecheng grabbed a few popsicles and said, "You guys eat too. Celebrate the long-term prosperity of our motherland."

Several people were not polite and said: "Celebrating the prosperity of our motherland."

When we arrived at the headquarters, everyone had just finished cheering excitedly, and now Yan Jiecheng was pushing a cart of popsicles, which was not very good for the people in the headquarters.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and asked everyone to divide the popsicles, and also told them to remember to return the wooden box to the store.

Just this wooden box, Yan Jiecheng paid a dime.

Understanding is understanding, and the process should be ignored at all.

After Yan Jiecheng returned home in the evening, his family was still discussing the matter.

Yan Bugui and his wife didn't understand how serious this thing was. They just heard on the radio that this thing was the backbone of the Chinese people.

Yan Jiecheng played with the two children. The two little guys were the most curious at this time.

They begin to learn to observe the world, so they are interested in everything.

They like to be held upright by adults, because this way they can get a better view.

This meeting saw liberation, and Jie Kuang and the two were playing in the yard.

The two children couldn't help but giggle happily.

The third aunt had to take care of Yan Jiecheng's children, so she didn't go back to the courtyard to cook.

Therefore, the whole family ate at Yan Jiecheng's house.

As for how many meals they had, Yan Jiecheng and his wife didn't care at all.

Originally, Yan Jiecheng and his wife felt that they were raising children for themselves, which was what they should do.

But Lao Yan did not agree. The Yan Bugui couple and Yan Jiecheng, their two sons and daughters-in-law, said: "Your mother and I, it's okay to live in your house and eat in your house. We should raise children to provide for them in old age.

But we can’t take the two little ones with us to eat from you.

There is no reason for this. Besides, your father and I still receive a lot of salary."

Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin looked at each other, and Yan Jiecheng said: "Mom and Dad, if not, my mother will cook for you and the second and third children here these days.

Do you think you’ll bring something with you then?”

Yan Bugui patted his leg and said, "Don't bother me. This won't happen in a day or two. It will probably take at least a year and a half. I will directly bring the food from home and eat according to the supply."<

/p>

Chang Kexin was a little surprised by Yan Bugui's words.

She didn't expect her father-in-law to be so generous. There was no selfish intention at all.

Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui directly handed the grain book to the third aunt and said: "Old woman, you must be like now, have meat every day."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng and his wife naturally knew Yan Bugui's plan.

Chang Kexin was even dumbfounded. As a father-in-law, even if he was generous, he would not forget to make calculations.

Seeing that the two children were almost 100 days old, Yan Jiecheng consulted Lao Chang on a weekend night.

The two families cooked a large table of delicious food at Yan Jiecheng's house and quietly had a hundred-day feast for the two children.

Of course, Luo Gongyan Jiecheng also took it over.

The child's two uncles both brought gifts from other places.

A few days after the child's 100-day banquet, Yan Jiecheng was summoned to the ministry by Minister Lu.

Minister Lu has taken on even heavier responsibilities since this year.

After all, that subtitle has been removed, and all the work pressure in the department has fallen on one person.

When Yan Jiecheng left, a secretary was already waiting for him in the corridor.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived, he took him directly to the leadership office.

After giving the leader another cup of tea, he also made some tea for Yan Jiecheng.

Then I went to the room at the door and started working.

When Yan Jiecheng met their Minister Lu, he quickly said: "Minister, you are looking for me..."

"I heard that you gave birth to a pair of children, so these two sets of little clay figurines are given to them." Minister Lu said and handed two sets of beautifully made, cute little clay figurines to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng quickly took it and said, "Thank you, leader."

In my heart, I had a different look, and I said in my heart: It seems that this time there is another hard nut to crack.

Minister Lu talked to Yan Jiecheng for a few minutes about the child.

Then he changed the topic and said: "You also know that the third-line construction is currently in full swing.

The Southwest is planning to build a one-day railway, but our best designers are all working on the subway project.

Now that the design work for this project has been completed, we are required to go to the site for investigation and design in a timely manner.

The ministry has decided that you will lead the team and be responsible for designing the Chengdu-Kunming Railway section from Miyi to Sanduizi and the branch line from Sanduizi to Griping Ferry.

This time the coal, metallurgy, electric power, post and telecommunications, geology and other departments will go with you."

Yan Jiecheng felt helpless after hearing this. He did not ask for advice and directly issued the task.

Yan Jiecheng knew that he could not refuse, so he asked: "Is there a time limit for the leader this time?"

Minister Lu said: "The sooner the better. If you ask this, you agree to go!"

Although Yan Jiecheng complained in his heart, he still smiled and said: "It's all as it should be."

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng agreed, Minister Lu asked: "Does Comrade Xiao Chang of your family have any objections? Do you want me to go and have a chat with them?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "It's okay, my comrade Xiao Chang is reasonable and won't have any objections?"

Yan Jiecheng was actually a little unhappy about traveling on a business trip at this time.

After all, it would be too cruel to ask him, a slave girl, to leave his daughter for a period of time.

However, Yan Jiecheng knew in his heart that the country attached great importance to the third-line construction.

Not to mention Dukou City, this place is simply a cornucopia.

Just dig down with a shovel and it will be good stuff.

Therefore, the country attaches great importance to it. So he needs to lead the team to design.

In later generations, although this place was not very prosperous, it was still so skinny that a camel was bigger than a horse, and it was still rich in steel.

After Yan Jiecheng received the news, he tried hard to search for this memory. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about the railway in this place in his previous life.

Three days later, staff from more than a dozen departments gathered at the station.

Yan Jiecheng felt a little bad about completing this task.

It feels like killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.

Fortunately, Minister Lu said one word to Yan Jiecheng.

Fast.

Yan Jiecheng then understood the purpose of sending him.

It is for early design, early construction and early use.

These days, it’s really hard to go out.

The closer the train gets to the south, the hotter the weather will be.

Yan Jiecheng sat in the train, like a canned fish in a bottle.

The sticky feeling on my body is very uncomfortable.

After staying up for several days, I finally arrived at the scene.

There are many mountains here at the ferry.

The air is very good, the vegetation is very dense, and everything is green.

This is very surprising to most northerners.

The comrades of the ferry committee are responsible for their next food and accommodation issues.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the houses they arranged and knew that these were the first batch of pioneers.

A few days later, after the curiosity passed, everyone was tortured to death by the temperature here.

Not only is it extremely hot, but it is also stuffy.

My body is always sticky, and mosquitoes are the boss at night.

Bite whoever you catch!

Within a few days of Yan Jiecheng's arrival, he couldn't hold it back any longer.

So I wrote a letter to my family.

Although this letter is written to Chang Kexin, it is believed that most of it is about Lele.

That night, Yan Jiecheng finished taking a bath and sat at the door looking at the stars.

Counting silently in my heart: The fifteenth day of missing Lele.

During these days, Yan Jiecheng often has contact with fellow villagers. These fellow villagers are really having a hard time.

However, Yan Jiecheng told these people that good times are coming in the future.

We have to build railways and factories here, but we are afraid that we will not have a job in the future.

Even if you go to the factory to clean toilets, you will still be better than you are now.

For more than 4 months, Yan Jiecheng and the others walked through mountains one after another and climbed through quagmires one after another.

Finally, the design of "two lines, three plants, and one factory" was completed.

The "two lines" are the section from Miyi to Sanduizi of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway and the branch line from Sanduizi to Griping Ferry.

After precise measurement and calculation, the main line is 128 kilometers long in total.

He designed 13 stations. This thing was not mainly decided by him, do you understand?

The station line is 33.4 kilometers long. For transporting materials, the station line should be longer to facilitate loading and unloading of goods.

The mountain has deep ravines, so there are 45 tunnels with a length of 39.6 kilometers, and 90 bridges with a length of 8,326 meters.

There are 153 culverts, 5629 meters long;

8.95 million cubic meters of earth and stone, 173,000 cubic meters of retaining wall reinforcement, and 250,000 square meters of permanent housing.

When Yan Jiecheng and others packed the designed documents into more than a dozen boxes, they handed them over to the Ferry Construction Committee.

Yan Jiecheng's work can be considered completed.

Yan Jiecheng, who was homesick, packed a box of Sichuan cured goods and hurriedly took the train and left.

The way back was another torture.

These days when Yan Jiecheng is not in the capital.

The first man in the courtyard has a long face.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, is focusing on the two little ones all day long.

I don’t have time to worry about trivial matters.

Liu Haizhong alone is no match for Yi Zhonghai.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai's reputation, which he worked hard for more than a year, is back.

Now he has an honest and loyal face, and a face that considers others.

Whenever you see young people in the courtyard, you will be scolded.

And because Yi Zhonghai made many mistakes, he persisted these days.

In the end, he was awarded a certificate of merit by the street for being a good person and doing good deeds.

This is the year to learn to be a good person and do good deeds. Yi Zhonghai just happened to catch up with him.

Yi Zhonghai has regained his prestige these days, but he always feels a little uneasy in his heart.

I'm thinking about who in the courtyard I should try to beat?

If it were before, he definitely wouldn't have to think about it.

It must be Xu Damao, but it’s different now. Xu Damao is not easy to mess with either.

Yi Zhonghai was so worried about this matter that the meat no longer tasted good.

Yan Jiecheng spent more than twenty days on the road and finally returned to the capital.

He first went to the ministry to report on his work and explained the on-site planning and design of the construction of the third line in the southwest.

Minister Lu gave him three days' leave, and Yan Jiecheng hurried home.

After the driver parked the car at the door, Yan Jiecheng jumped out of the car and ran into the house.

Originally, he wanted to hug the two children directly, but he thought about it.

I went to wash up first, changed my clothes, and then I held the baby in my arms, playing with this and that.

So unhappy.

The family members are also very happy to see Yan Jiecheng come back.

Third Aunt and Cuihua cooked two more dishes to celebrate Yan Jiecheng's return.

At night, Yan Jie and his wife coaxed the two children to sleep.

The two of them started to move the child's crib to the side with a tacit understanding.

Yan Jiecheng raised his eyebrows, and Chang Kexin already knew what he meant.

With a hiss, he shrank down more than half. Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but take a breath of air.

This girl is getting better and better.

The young couple, who were in a good relationship, met again after a short break, and naturally ended up being greedy for alcohol.

The next day, Chang Kexin's voice became hoarse early in the morning, and she drank a lot of warm water to no avail.
