Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Hua Zi, who had just rested, looked on with some envy.

These jobs used to be his.

Zhang Chao is really lucky; he got such a good master right away.

"What, are you envious?"

Hearing the sound, Hua Zi turned around, looked, and stood up.

"Master, how could that be? You've been so good to me." Hua Zi scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.

I am a little envious, but not to the point of having any other thoughts.

Li Yaoguo was really good to him.

Besides, I can't do riveting work myself.

He can't read a single word, so the blueprints are like a book written in heaven; no matter how hard he looks at them, he won't understand them!

Li Yaoguo nodded and smiled, "Good to know. The worst thing is when someone doesn't know their place."

"In the end, we didn't even get the watermelon, and we lost the sesame seeds instead."

Hua Zi nodded in agreement: "Master is right, I'll go pour you some tea."

Li Yaoguo sat and waited, when his eyes suddenly turned and he saw Qin Huairu squatting by the wall.

Her expression became complicated... Was she reading a book again?

Initially, the workshop staff treated Qin Huairu quite coldly.

Firstly, she was a widow, and there were some unpleasant rumors circulating in the factory.

Secondly, no one believed she could stay.

In everyone's eyes, Qin Huairu only benefited from being in a privileged position.

She knelt down and begged someone to teach her how to establish the country. The person was too embarrassed to refuse, and also pitied her as a widow.

Only then did he personally speak up and transfer her to work in the special workshop.

But Jianguo is a man of principle. He can give you the opportunity, but do you want him to give you special treatment or open a back door for you?

That's definitely overthinking it; there's not even a crack in the window.

Sure enough, five more arrived right after that.

They were all sent by the factory director and the department head. If it really came down to favoritism... even Qin Huairu couldn't compare.

She was the only woman among the six people.

They don't have much education yet, so there's no need for comprehensive comparison.

Deep down, I knew she was destined to be eliminated.

That's how it should have been.

Can……

All I can say is that Qin Huairu is truly blessed.

She had reached a dead end, but someone just happened to offer her their own ladder.

It brought life back to the road ahead of her.

However, even though she stayed, no one had high hopes for her.

How high were the requirements for establishing the nation? How complex were the blueprints for the riveters?

These experienced masters have learned from their mistakes.

Qin Huairu deserves to suffer from this lack of culture.

At that moment, everyone felt sorry for her.

This sense of regret was earned by Qin Huairu through her performance.

He works harder than men and never complains about being tired or suffering in the workshop.

My shoulders were chafed raw, but I just endured it without uttering a sound.

The workshop only found out about this after the factory doctor came to find out what was going on.

From then on, everyone's impression of Qin Huairu changed.

At least, he's a hard worker who can endure hardship.

As long as you are diligent, down-to-earth, willing to learn, and willing to work, you are doing great.

In this steel rolling mill, no one can look down on you.

Ultimately, she was still uneducated.

Keeping up with the progress of the nation's founding is difficult, extremely difficult.

But this time, Qin Huairu once again opened everyone's eyes, demonstrating remarkable focus and seriousness in her studies.

Whenever he had a spare moment, he would flip through books, not knowing how to underline things with a pen, and would ask someone for help later.

In order to find out the effect of quenching time and temperature on quality, I kept pestering Master Hao for half an hour.

No matter how much you chase them away, they won't leave, no matter how impatient they are.

They'll just sit there, speaking nicely and patiently, asking you questions with a smile so you won't get angry.

That demeanor did bear some resemblance to Yang Jianguo when he first entered the factory.

Back then, he would pester anyone he could get his hands on.

It truly lives up to its name – a real dog-skin plaster!

Just as he was thinking this, Master Hao, who had taken a break, ran up to Yang Jianguo and said with a laugh, "Jianguo, you're not being fair!"

As Yang Jianguo held the stand, adjusting and polishing it, he asked, "Master Hao, what's wrong with this?"

Master Hao glared at him and said angrily, "Your apprentice has learned all your shameless tricks. Don't tell me you didn't know."

"Her demeanor is exactly the same as yours back then."

Hearing him say that, Yang Jianguo replied with a smile: "You're wrong, I didn't teach her that."

"I told her that if she wanted to learn skills, she had to be humble and humble herself."

"Seize the opportunity, ask questions if you can, and learn if you can."

Yang Jianguo glanced at Qin Huairu, who was engrossed in her studies by the wall: "As for how to ask questions and how to learn, that's up to her."

It was indeed beyond Yang Jianguo's expectations that Qin Huai could barely keep up with the pace.

At the same time, it also allowed him to see another side of this woman.

People will never know their own capabilities unless they are pushed to the limit!

How much potential is hidden within that body?

If Qin Huai can maintain this level of performance, even if he doesn't become a senior worker...

Her life will get better and better, and she will be able to stand out from the crowd.

After finishing their work, Yang Jianguo and the others carried the baby walkers to the bike shed.

"Master Yang." Yu Haitang arrived again.

He was wearing a plaid undershirt, a wool vest, and a big cotton-padded coat over it.

Perhaps to show off her figure, she left her cotton-padded jacket open.

To be honest, Yang Jianguo felt cold for her.

The temperature outside today must be at least four or five degrees below zero.

Should I buy Yingzi a new pair of gloves? The ones she knits aren't warm enough.

She noticed him glance at her, and her mind wandered off somewhere else.

Yu Haitang felt discouraged. What was wrong with this man?

To get him to look at her more, Yu Haitang specially found out her best clothes.

She even left it open, and now her body is numb from the cold.

But he was daydreaming right in front of me!

Is he thinking about his wife again?

Yu Haitang was puzzled. Just how good was his wife that he was so infatuated with her?

Or……

He did it on purpose; he was afraid to see me.

Because he was afraid of being attracted to her, he would think of other women to numb himself every time they met.

By ignoring her beauty, you won't make a mistake.

It has to be said, women's imaginations can be quite terrifying.

"Comrade Yu Haitang, is something the matter?" Yang Jianguo snapped out of his reverie, his tone somewhat anxious.

Seeing his expression, Yu Haitang felt even more strongly that he was deliberately avoiding her, afraid of being attracted to her.

Once he understood, his face lit up with a wide smile: "I've come on behalf of the Publicity Department to invite you."

"We would like to ask you to share your story of academic progress on the radio."

Then, Yu Haitang's eyes lit up, and she said, "In addition, everyone also wants to hear the counselor's letter."

Hearing her say that, Yang Jianguo thought to himself, "She's really well-informed."

Yang Jianguo had also decided whether or not to make the counselor's letter public.

He plans to read it aloud to everyone to boost team cohesion and morale.

When you're highly motivated, you'll have more energy and drive when you're working.

Another benefit is that it can improve factory efficiency and eliminate the laziness that comes with the year-end holiday!

Of course, the main reason is that the news has spread.

Everyone knows about this, and if we keep the letter hidden, it will be detrimental to unity.

It gives people the impression of being seemingly low-key, but actually flamboyant.

After all, everyone already knows that you received the letter from your advisor.

I was filled with curiosity: what exactly did the counselor say?

At this point, you hide it, meaning you don't read it to everyone.

That curiosity was constantly piqued; every time he was seen, it reminded him of that incident.

Over time, resentment will inevitably grow in their hearts.

All you got was a letter of commendation!

Let everyone read this aloud and learn from the spirit of our counselor.

You weren't happy about it, so I pocketed it.

What's there to be proud of? Really...

"I agree."

Yang Jianguo agreed, but he also had conditions.

"Go ahead," Yu Haitang said, her heart burning with excitement.

The counselor's letter must be read by her, the announcer.

This is a great opportunity to shine. As long as I have the right mindset and give it my best, I can succeed.

To demonstrate a generous, enthusiastic, and proactive attitude...

It will definitely get the system's attention, and you might even be interviewed and praised.

Thinking about all this, Yu Haitang wished she could agree to his proposal right now.

"I will recite the letter myself, and I will decide how I recite it."
