Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Time flies and it's weekend. Jia Zhang has been much more obedient since she was beaten by Qin Huairu last time. She no longer beats or scolds her two granddaughters. Qin Jingru went back to the countryside. Before she left, she said to Qin Huairu, "Sister, the threshold of the city is too high. I, a country girl, can't step in."

Qin Huairu cried for a long time when she saw Qin Jingru go back, but there was nothing she could do as she couldn't support Qin Jingru here. Moreover, because of Qin Huairu's incident, no one dared to marry Qin Jingru. Everyone stayed away from the Jia family, including Qin Jingru in the yard.

Jia Zhang now obediently goes to the street office to take on some private work to supplement the family income. Even her painkillers and the 3 yuan monthly pension have been cut off by Qin Huairu. If Jia Zhang dares to throw a tantrum, Qin Huairu will whip her. Sometimes, when Jia Zhang doesn't work, Qin Huairu will starve her.

At first, Jia Zhang wanted to use Banggeng to threaten Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu said that she would give the job at her home to Jia Zhang as well as Banggeng, and she would take her two daughters back to the countryside and get married again.

Jia Zhang didn't dare to gamble on Qin Huairu, so she never used Bang Geng to threaten Qin Huairu again. However, Jia Zhang thought to herself that when her grandson came out, she would definitely report Qin Huairu in front of him. She was very confident that Bang Geng would stand on her side.

When Yi Zhonghai got up, he found a group of people surrounding the Jia family. Yi Zhonghai walked forward and saw that it was people from the street office who came to the Jia family and dragged Qin Huairu out for a parade. Yi Zhonghai looked for a while and then went back because he was afraid that if he didn't go back, he would have his own things to do.

Qin Huairu was paraded through the streets with people from the street office. A sign read, "Steel mill worker Qin Huairu slandered comrades!" Today was the weekend and Qin Huairu's story had already spread throughout the streets and alleys in the past few days, so there were a lot of people watching.

Everyone stood on both sides of the alley. Two comrades from the street office pulled Qin Huairu from the beginning of the street to the end of the street. Qin Huairu did not have any expression throughout the whole process. People around her pointed at Qin Huairu, some threw rotten vegetable leaves at her, some spit at her, in short, all kinds of magic attacks were used.

After walking around the street twice, the people from the street office sent Qin Huairu back to the Jia family. Qin Huairu didn't say a word, didn't cry or make a fuss during the whole process, she was so calm that it was scary. When she returned home, Qin Huairu still prepared lunch for the two children as usual. Jia Zhang was afraid when she saw Qin Huairu's calm appearance, for she was afraid that Qin Huairu would beat her again.

The next day, Qin Huairu still got up early and went to work at the steel rolling mill, but she no longer had the energy she used to have. Now, Qin Huairu looked more like a walking corpse.

Today was Qin Huairu's first day at the cleaning department. She picked up her tools and started sweeping the floor. Her main responsibility was to clean the factory area and sweep wherever there was garbage. When she met some colleagues from the cafeteria, she did not say hello.

Of course, some old perverts in the steel rolling mill became more and more interested in Qin Huairu. They thought that Qin Huairu must be in great need of money and tickets now, and they could play with Qin Huairu as they pleased by paying some money and tickets.

In the Engineering Department, the oxygen top-blown converter that Yi Zhonghai had been studying for more than a month finally made substantial progress. Yi Zhonghai handed the drawings to Director Yang, who made a phone call to the top leader. Before the afternoon, the leader asked Director Yang to take Yi Zhonghai to the Ministry of Metallurgy.

Director Yang did not delay in finding Yi Zhonghai and the two of them took a car to the Ministry of Metallurgy. When they arrived at the Ministry of Metallurgy, they saw several leaders coming in, and Yi Zhonghai became a little nervous for a moment.

Director Yang first showed the drawings to the senior leaders, and then walked up to Yi Zhonghai and asked him to go up and explain them to these leaders.

Yi Zhonghai walked up to the stage, holding the blueprint and began to talk about the oxygen top-blown converter.

Yi Zhonghai: "Dear leaders, this oxygen top-blown converter is a converter that uses oxygen blowing from the top to make steel. The furnace consists of a converter body and a tilting system, an oxygen lance and an oxygen supply system. Such a furnace can withstand higher temperatures and also provides a more convenient heating method for steel forging."

After listening to this, the leader looked at everyone and said, "Xiao Yi, when can this oxygen top-blown converter be used?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Leader, it is currently in the experimental stage. It will probably take some time to put it into use. We first ensure some details of the converter and high temperature resistance tests."

The big boss said, "Well, what do you think?" Seeing that no one said anything, the big boss said, "Okay, since there are no objections, let Xiao Yi and Xiao Yang experiment with this matter first, and then promote it to all branches."

After the meeting, the leader invited Yi Zhonghai and Director Yang to his office to discuss the details and steps. Of course, Yi Zhonghai still mentioned the prerequisites. The leader said he would fully support Yi Zhonghai in this project.

So the Ministry of Metallurgy allocated a portion of funds to develop this product the next day. In addition, it also separated a part of the engineering department of the steel rolling mill to be responsible for the oxygen top-blown converter project.

Yi Zhonghai personally selected several technicians from the technical department and added Xu Wu to the project.

It was already 9 o'clock when Yi Zhonghai returned home in the evening. Yan Bugui opened the door. He didn't know why Yi Zhonghai came back so late every day, and of course Yi Zhonghai would not explain to him.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home and saw that the food in the pot was still hot, he decided to ask Xu Wu to stay and have a meal with him. Xu Wu did not hesitate and they sat down and ate something.

After dinner, Xu Wu told Yi Zhonghai that he had found a partner, and Yi Zhonghai told him to bring her to the yard when he had time.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai returned to the room and saw that his wife and two children were already asleep. The two little ones always blamed him for not playing with them well.

Yi Zhonghai got on the bed quietly. Huang Yulan whispered, "Old Yi, you've been busy lately, so please take care of yourself."

Yi Zhonghai: "Okay, I understand. Go to sleep."

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Yi Zhonghai got up early as usual, had breakfast, and went to the steel mill.

At the Xu family, Xu Damao looked at the brats who were wolfing down the food at the dinner table, which started to give him a headache. Even though his father-in-law was a cadre at the Grain Bureau, he couldn't keep asking him for help. After all, he had three older brothers-in-law. Seeing these brats eating so fast, Xu Damao covered his forehead and began to think about where he could get food.

Feeding the three children of the He family and Sha Zhu's family is a big problem. Sha Zhu even wants to go to Baoding to ask He Daqing for some living expenses. In recent years, Sha Zhu has also taken the three children and his wife to Baoding. He Daqing lost himself when he saw the three boys calling him grandpa! Every time he took out a wad of money to treat his grandson to a meal, but he couldn't resist eating too much, so He Daqing didn't know how to explain to the White Widow every time.
