Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Time passed quickly and it was already June 1960. During this period, Huang Yulan gave birth to a son for Yi Zhonghai and named him Yi Xuanzong. In order to take care of the child, Yi Zhonghai had to ask Huang Yulan to sell her job and concentrate on taking care of the family.

Sha Zhu's wife Yang Yuhuan was four months pregnant. During this period, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family came to make trouble many times, but they were all suppressed by the deaf old lady. Sha Zhu also changed his previous laziness. He became much more diligent at work and his mouth was not so vicious. Although his wife Yang Yuhuan ate a lot, life was not difficult with the help of the deaf old lady.

Jia Dongxu was promoted to first-level blacksmith in the forging workshop. The substantial salary increase also allowed the Jia family to breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that Qin Huairu's belly was getting bigger day by day and she had lost Sha Zhu's support, Jia Dongxu could only work in the steel rolling mill during the day and find other things to do at night. In the past few months, the food ration had been gradually reduced.

Xu Damao's wife was pregnant again, which made Xu Damao happy and worried. He was happy because his wife was pregnant again, and there was one more person in the Xu family. He was worried because the three children in the family had just learned to walk and there was another child. What should he do? Xu Damao could only work harder. He was not in the mood to pay attention to Sha Zhu's bickering. Xu Damao gradually became quiet in this courtyard. He went to the countryside to show movies every day to bring food and income to his family.

At the Yan family, Yan Bugui saw that the young people in every household had married and had children, but his own eldest son's wife, Yu Li, had no pregnancy, which made Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua very anxious. They approached their son and daughter-in-law several times to discuss asking them to give birth to a grandson as soon as possible, but Yan Bugui blocked them with the words "Dad, if I give birth to a child, we will have to take care of it ourselves. Will you do it for free?", which made Yan Bugui sigh in anger.

In the Liu family, after Liu Haizhong's eldest son ran away, Liu Haizhong began to treat his two younger sons more seriously. Although there were still beatings and scoldings, it was much better than before, and the family was now harmonious.

The deaf old lady found the street office, and under the witness of the street office, she left the house to Yi Zhonghai after her death. This was a deal between the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai. Now the deaf old lady likes Yang Yuhuan more and more, and it is Yang Yuhuan who takes care of her daily life. Although Yang Yuhuan eats a lot, she is very efficient at work.

That morning, Yi Zhonghai went to work as usual. When he was leaving, he met Sha Zhu, who was carrying a lunch box. Sha Zhu saw Yi Zhonghai and trotted over to him and said, "Uncle Yi, I'll take you on my bike."

Yi Zhonghai was also happy to have a free driver, so he gave the car to Sha Zhu.

On the way, Yi Zhonghai said to Sha Zhu, "Work harder! Didn't you have breakfast?"

Sha Zhu: "Uncle Yi, how do you know I didn't have breakfast? Well, let me tell you, my wife is pregnant now and has a big appetite. She can eat 20 steamed buns in one meal." Sha Zhu sighed.

Yi Zhonghai: "What's wrong? You can't afford it? How can you, a chef, not be able to support your wife?"

Sha Zhu: "The main reason is that the rations we have each month are not enough for the two of us. Now I have to eat my fill in the cafeteria every day. Otherwise, I won't be able to stretch out my chopsticks when I get home."

Yi Zhonghai: "You kid, are you still bragging? Are you still telling me that 37 yuan is a lot of money?"

Silly Zhu: "Hey, I'm trying to see if I can get to the next level."

The two were riding their bikes, and when they saw a figure walking in front of them, Sha Zhu looked at him and said, "Uncle Yi, look and see if that is Jia Dongxu!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at it and said, "Well, it's Jia Dongxu. Why is this guy going to work so early?"

When the two passed by Jia Dongxu, Sha Zhu said, "Hey, Brother Dongxu, you're going to work really early!"

When Jia Dongxu saw Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai greeting him, he smiled and said, "Uncle Yi, Sha Zhu, you two are up so early today. I'm going early just to learn more over there so that I can become a second-level blacksmith as soon as possible." To be honest, Jia Dongxu now regrets very much that he did not learn fittering from Yi Zhonghai well, otherwise he would have been a third or fourth-level fitter. He also regrets that he listened too much to his mother and did not move Qin Huairu's household registration to the city so that the three of them would have a quota.

After saying hello to everyone, Sha Zhu stood up and ran quickly to the steel mill.

Yi Zhonghai came to the office and saw Xu Wu had already arrived in the office and was looking through some documents. Yi Zhonghai walked over and asked, "Xu Wu, how is the research on our continuous rolling mill going recently?"

Xu Wu: "Chief Yi, the rolling mill is now being developed according to the drawings. There are a few workpieces that need to be polished. I will arrange a few level 8 workers to do the polishing later."

Yi Zhonghai nodded. The steel mill has been relatively idle recently, so Yi Zhonghai plans to develop a continuous rolling mill to improve the efficiency of the steel mill.

As soon as Jia Dongxu arrived at the forging workshop, he went to learn the second-level blacksmithing. However, Jia Dongxu had not eaten enough recently, so his hands naturally did not have much strength. His master also warned those who do blacksmithing work to eat more to improve their strength and endurance. Jia Dongxu could only smile bitterly.

Jia Dongxu first took a part and started forging. He was fiddling with it when suddenly the forging part flew out and hit Jia Dongxu on the head. In an instant, blood began to flow from Jia Dongxu's head.

The old master who arrived earlier looked at Jia Dongxu's condition and hurried to call the workshop director. The workshop director ran over and ordered several people to carry Jia Dongxu to the factory's infirmary, while he informed the superiors.

Several workers from the forging workshop carried Jia Dongxu into the medical department. The doctor in the medical department looked at Jia Dongxu's wound, shook his head and said, "I can't treat him here. You should send him to a big hospital right away!" He thought that this man with such a big hole on his head might not be saved.

When Director Yang heard the news, he quickly ordered the driver to drive Jia Dongxu to the hospital. On the other hand, Director Yang went to the engineering department to find Yi Zhonghai.

The matter was urgent and Director Yang did not knock on the door. He pushed the door open and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Brother Yi, Jia Dongxu and Liu Haizhong are from the same courtyard as you, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was busy drawing a blueprint. When he heard Director Yang say that, he quickly replied, "Yes, Jia Dongxu is from the same yard as me, so what?"

Director Yang: "Brother Yi, Jia Dongxu had an accident in the workshop this morning! He is now in the hospital!"

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, damn, Jia Dongxu is going to be offline... but he still said, "Well, I'll go find Liu Haizhong and ask him to notify the family."

So the two of them rushed to the forging workshop. When Liu Haizhong went to work today, he was shocked to see a pool of blood on the ground. After asking around, he learned that Jia Dongxu was injured and went to the hospital.

Director Yang and Yi Zhonghai walked into the forging workshop and came to Liu Haizhong. Director Yang said, "Old Liu, go back now and inform Jia Dongxu's family to go to Red Star Hospital!"

Liu Haizhong nodded and ran out quickly. Halfway through, Liu Haizhong came back and asked Yi Zhonghai to borrow a bicycle! Yi Zhonghai gave him the bicycle key.

After doing all this, Director Yang, Yi Zhonghai and Deputy Director Li took a car to the Red Star Hospital.

Liu Haizhong rode his bike quickly to the courtyard. Liu Guixiang was bragging to others in the courtyard when she suddenly saw her husband coming back. She hurried forward and said, "Boss, aren't you at work? Why are you back so suddenly?"

Liu Haizhong said, "I don't have time to talk to you. I'm going to the Jia family!" After saying that, he hurried to the Jia family. Liu Guixiang and a group of old ladies followed him.

At the Jia family's house, Jia Zhang was sewing shoe soles under the eaves while watching Qin Huairu washing clothes, when she suddenly saw Liu Haizhong coming towards her.

Liu Haizhong: "Sister-in-law, something happened! It's a big thing!"

Jia Zhang panicked and said, "What's the matter? Liu Haizhong! Don't talk nonsense! Something happened in our Jia family!" Qin Huairu, who was standing next to them, saw so many people coming to her house that she didn't even have time to wash her clothes and followed over.

Liu Haizhong: "Sister-in-law, Dongxu was injured in the workshop today and is now in the Red Star Hospital! You should go and see him!"

When Jia Zhang heard that Jia Dongxu was injured, she didn't even notice that the insole of her shoe had fallen to the ground! Then she immediately burst into tears and said, "How could anything happen to our Dongxu!"

Liu Haizhong was too lazy to say anything else and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be confused and take Huairu with you quickly!" After saying that, Liu Haizhong went back to the factory first. He was also afraid that Jia Zhang would pester him.

After seeing Liu Haizhong leave, Jia Zhang hurriedly took Qin Huairu and Xiaodang to the Red Star Hospital.

At the Red Star Hospital, Jia Dongxu was carried in by several workers. The doctors and nurses passing by hurriedly helped Jia Dongxu stop the bleeding, and then arranged him into the operating room.

After Yi Zhonghai and his group arrived, they asked where Jia Dongxu was, and then they went to the door of the operating room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the doctor coming out of the operating room. Director Yang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is this patient?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "The injuries are too severe. The patient has passed away."

After hearing this, Director Yang arranged for the driver to go back and notify the security department to investigate the cause of Jia Dongxu's death, and then he and Yi Zhonghai and others waited here for Jia Dongxu's family.
