1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"Chen Xiao, why are you asking this? Are you trying to dig some for us to eat?"

Chen Xiao rubbed Qin Huairu's head twice and spoke softly.

"Don't ask, just go to sleep."

"In order for my son to be born by the end of the year, we have to work harder!"

Although Chen Xiao already knew that Qin Huairu was pregnant with twins, he would not tell Qin Huairu.

After all, it has only been a few days, and even the hospital can't find anything.

Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't try to attract attention.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned red.

After wiping Chen Xiao's feet, he sat on the edge of the bed and took off his shoes to wash his feet.

When everything was done, the lights in Chen Xiao's house went out.

In the dark night, Chen Xiao muttered to himself.

“I don’t know if the room is soundproof…”

......

next door.

Silly Zhu family.

Ever since Chen Xiao got married, Sha Zhu's most exciting thing every day was to lie on the bed with his ear pressed against the wall, eavesdropping on what was going on in Chen Xiao's house.

Unfortunately, for several days in a row, I didn’t hear any sound at all.

But he still listened with great pleasure.

Sister He Yushui walked into Shazhu's room,

Seeing my brother clinging to the wall, I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Sha Zhu shuddered all over and quickly stood up, trying to hide his embarrassment with a smile.

"Nothing, there seems to be a mouse over there in the wall, I was just eavesdropping."

"Rat?" He Yushui tapped his chin with his finger and thought for a while.

"How about I tell Brother Chen Xiao tomorrow that there are mice in his house?"

Sha Zhu quickly jumped off the bed and covered He Yushui's little mouth.

"Don't! Don't!"

"There's no mouse. I just misheard. Don't tell Brother Chen Xiao!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu pushed He Yushui out.

"It's getting late, and you have to go to school tomorrow, so go to bed."

......

Jia family.

Today is a good day for Jia Dongxu.

Because Tingting said that as long as he went to work at the steel mill, they could sleep together.

This made Jia Dongxu so excited that he even took a shower after dinner.

Less than a minute after I turned off the light, it was turned on again.

Tingting was so angry that she kicked Jia Dongxu off the bed.

"It shouldn't be fast, why is it happening so fast?"

"Useless trash!"

Lying on the floor, Jia Dongxu looked at the moonlight outside the window.

Before I knew it, two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes.

He couldn't let Tingting look down on him like this.

He needs to see a doctor!

......

Early the next morning.

Jia Dongxu went out early with Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai's arm had not healed yet and was still in a cast.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard gate, I ran into Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was just about to step forward and say hello with a smile, but Yi Zhonghai just snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Jia Dongxu also didn't give Liu Haizhong a good look and just ignored him.

Rubbing shoulders with bangs between them, the master and apprentice walked towards the steel mill.

Standing there, Liu Haizhong's face turned ashen.

"Who are you trying to show your displeasure to? Just wait, Yi Zhonghai. As long as I can make a 7.62mm internally threaded steel pipe today, I will definitely be promoted to level 7 fitter. It's not impossible to even be promoted to level 8 fitter, which no one has reached yet."

Starting from level 1, the machinist level cannot be promoted by simply passing an exam.

Either you work hard and then you will be promoted to the corresponding level in the corresponding years.

There is another way, which is to make a significant contribution to the steel mill!

When they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Liu Haizhong came to Yi Zhonghai's lathe under everyone's gaze.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were standing in front of the lathe with expressionless faces.

Jia Dongxu taunted.

"Second uncle, you have to be careful. Don't damage the tool before the product is made."

"By the time my master's arm injury heals, but he has no knives to use, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be, right?"

Liu Haizhong sneered.

"Dongxu, your master isn't the only one with the best skills in the steel mill. Although I'm only a level 6 fitter, my skills aren't much worse than your master's."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong turned on the power switch of the lathe.

He looked at the drawings several times before clamping a workpiece and starting the lathe.

The belt pulls the gears to rotate, making bursts of mechanical collision sounds.

Then, Liu Haizhong controlled the tool, rotating the handwheel and moving it towards the workpiece little by little.

At some point, the workshop director had come behind Liu Haizhong. He was extremely nervous at the moment, hoping that Liu Haizhong could process a 7.62 mm internal threaded pipe in one go.

Yi Zhonghai saw the workshop director coming and was just about to go up and say hello.

The workshop director simply waved his hand to refuse and said in a low voice.

"Don't affect Master Liu's work..."

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

Looking at Liu Haizhong again, he had already controlled the tool to start turning the internal thread.

Everyone present held their breath.

The scene that made everyone worry about the knife breaking did not happen.

At this speed, the workpiece can be processed in less than a minute.

Jia Dongxu stared at the knife and kept muttering to himself.

“Break…break…break…”

Unfortunately, until Liu Haizhong pulled the knife back with a heavy breath, the knife did not break.

The workshop director said excitedly.

"Where are the calipers and the testing tools? Hurry up and give them to Master Liu to measure."

The master craftsman next to him quickly took the caliper and testing tools and handed them to Liu Haizhong.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong's vanity was greatly satisfied, and the eyes of the entire workshop were focused on him.

Then he took the caliper and the inspection tool to measure the workpiece.

"Top inside diameter size 7.79."

"Bottom inside diameter 7.86."

......

As Liu Haizhong measured each size, the smile on the workshop director's face became more and more obvious.

He said excitedly while holding the blueprint.

"The inner diameter dimensions are within tolerance. Measure the internal thread quickly!!!"

Liu Haizhong nodded, then took a special tool and began to inspect the internal threads.

"The size of the internal thread groove on the top is normal, as is the thread angle!"

"The internal thread angle at the bottom is normal..."

"The thread angle is a bit out of tolerance..."

Liu Haizhong put down the testing tools and said dejectedly.

Instead of blaming him, the workshop director patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder and encouraged him.

"Master Liu, you've done a great job. The only problem left is the thread angle. I believe that as long as you try it a few more times and find the reason for the out-of-tolerance, you will definitely be able to produce qualified 7.62mm internal threaded pipes!"

"Work hard, Liu Haizhong! This time, whether our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill can be the first among a dozen other mills to produce 7.62mm internally threaded pipes depends entirely on you!"

Liu Haizhong was extremely excited and saluted his leader in a standard manner.

"Leader, please rest assured that Liu Haizhong will definitely complete the task!!!!!"
