Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Looking into the spider web, they found no prey that should be there.

Feeling lost and confused: Was there an earthquake?

"Steel No. 2, add another... here."

"High tide, unload the material, slowly... be careful."

"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu..."

"Master, I'm here!"

"What are you doing? Can't you see everyone's busy? What method are you using for cutting the materials this time?"

Yang Jianguo pointed ahead, letting Qin Huairu decide on the method of feeding the ingredients.

Qin Huairu glanced ahead and said, "The rotation method is the most stable and safest, but the straight-line method can also be used, which is even more effective."

"Alright, go ahead!" Yang Jianguo waved his hand, letting her leave.

The answer was fairly standard, but it still shows a rote learning approach.

She still lacks experience. "How about we let her cut the ingredients next time?"

Since we should treat everyone equally, it's not right to always let the tide come in.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Yang Jianguo focused his attention back on the task at hand.

The shell parameters required for this mission were extremely high, and all the materials were transported from the train station by the security department.

For the special workshop and Yang Jianguo, the difficulty of this mission lies in...

How to assemble the framework according to the drawings without damaging the material properties.

This is the biggest challenge!

Due to limited materials, multiple experiments could not be conducted.

Three experiments were the most.

The remaining materials are enough for two more trials.

In other words, if all three experiments fail, they will only have two chances left.

If two more mistakes occur, all the efforts will be in vain.

This mission also ended in failure.

The rising tide was being carefully controlled as the material was being poured, for fear that a slight tremor in the hand would ruin the entire batch.

It's important to know that before making the first attempt using materials...

But he went to the office himself to find the stamps from the security department, materials department, and logistics department.

Only after completing this entire process can this experiment be conducted.

Just using materials once requires going through so many procedures.

How can one not be nervous when the tide is rising?

As the last inch of water receded, the tide suddenly let out a long sigh.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly, "Master, it's done!"

"Ah."

Yang Jianguo nodded expressionlessly and said, "Masters, let's begin!"

Cutting the material is only the first step; the real test of skill comes next.

Yang Jianguo personally took to the field, holding a welding torch and constantly exchanging whispered conversations with the other workers.

In front of a sheet of wood, all the technical experts from the special workshop were gathered.

The apprentices stood at the back, looking nervous, constantly tiptoeing to look ahead.

Looking at Zhang Chao and Qin Huairu standing beside Yang Jianguo, their eyes were filled with envy.

It's better to go and observe from their side.

Since he was learning riveting and there was also Li Yaoguo, an eighth-level welder, they took extra care of him out of respect for their master.

Riveting and welding go hand in hand; having an eighth-level worker to look after you can speed up your learning process.

That's why people say that having a good master is truly a blessing from one's ancestors for eight generations.

"Slow down, watch the weld, don't rush!" Yang Jianguo handed the welding torch to Li Yaoguo and took charge of directing from the side.

The two worked together seamlessly, with Li Yaoguo's hands remaining as steady as a rock.

However, it still failed at the seventh solder joint.

Watching the faint spots spread outwards, Li Yaoguo, who was squatting on the ground, lifted his mask and threw it hard on the ground.

"What?"

Yang Jianguo straightened up and said expressionlessly, "Take control of your temper. Failure is inevitable."

"I know that the higher-ups are taking this mission very seriously, and the same goes for everyone in the factory."

"But whatever you have in mind, put it away and get your mindset right."

"If anyone does this again, go down and replace them with someone else." After Yang Jianguo made an example of him, Li Yaoguo lowered his head and remained silent.

The restlessness in the hearts of the others in the factory was also suppressed.

Everyone really cared about this mission, not only because of the importance attached to it by their superiors and their own pride.

Most importantly, there are rewards and honors...

I heard that if they do well on this mission, they might get a collective merit award.

Even a level three achievement in group skills is a tremendous honor.

For ordinary people, this would be a source of great honor for their family.

Who isn't anxious? Who doesn't care?!

When you're restless, it will show in your hands when you're working.

If everyone has this kind of thinking, they won't be thinking about how to do the job well.

Instead, he was thinking about how to make a name for himself.

There's no need to do this job anymore; it would be a waste of time anyway.

It's definitely not going to get better!

Chapter 162 A formidable barrier, Qin Huairu's sweet dream

"Huai Ru, you're back."

"The neighborhood committee held another meeting today, and they talked about the ideological liberation after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"However, Director Wang also said that some traditions and etiquette cannot be lost, so we..."

As Granny Jia was speaking, she suddenly heard a thunderous snoring sound behind her.

I turned around, and lo and behold!

Qin Huairu was wrapped in her clothes, without even taking off her shoes.

He fell asleep the moment his head touched the kang (a heated brick bed), and after a long chatter with her, everything was overheard by the person on the wall.

Granny Jia was a little discouraged; this Yang Jianguo was really something else.

Look what she's done to him, look at the state he's in.

At home, Yang Jianguo lay on a buckwheat hull pillow, closed his eyes, and let his mind wander.

By the end of the day, I felt like all my brain cells had been burned out.

I'm so tired!

"Jianguo, put a towel on it." Yingzi took a damp, cool towel and put it on his forehead, sitting beside him with heartache in her eyes.

"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a rest," Yang Jianguo said weakly, his eyes closed.

"Was this mission difficult?" Yingzi asked, holding his hand with concern.

This was the first time she had ever seen her man behave like this.

"Ah."

Reflecting on today's progress, Yang Jianguo thought to himself, 'It's not just difficult, it's practically an impossible task.'

Is the top leader overconfident? This is a problem that a level six riveter can't solve.

The material properties involved are simply an insurmountable barrier.

Trying to cross this insurmountable barrier almost caused Yang Jianguo to burn his head.

Looking back, the experiments were conducted using discarded materials.

The smearing occurred uncontrollably and without any pattern.

No matter how careful you are or how standard the workmanship is, there is always a chance of staining.

Once the stain appears, the entire piece of material is ruined.

This is a gamble with your life.

I was lucky; the smudging effect didn't occur, and it sank.

Bad luck, this time it happened...

How can you guarantee that?!

My temples were throbbing, and a pair of slightly cold hands pressed against them.

Gently pressing clockwise, the pressure gradually calmed Yang Jianguo's brain, which was on the verge of exploding.

"Stop thinking about it, take a break!"

"Ah."

Under Yingzi's pressure, the exhausted brain sank into darkness.

When Yang Jianguo opened his eyes again, he didn't know what time it was.

Yingzi was sitting at the other end of the kang (a heated brick bed), sewing shoe soles with needle and thread.

Now, the pregnancy is becoming more and more stable.

There are more and more things to prepare, such as swaddling clothes, headscarves, tiger-head shoes, baby clothes, and changes of clothes.

Yingzi had to prepare all of these herself; she didn't want to rely on others.

"Still not asleep?" Yang Jianguo propped himself up and sat up. His head felt much better after a nap.

His condition is clearly due to overworking his brain.

Thinking about it, my own cheat code is really not that powerful.

They don't even add any attributes to themselves.

Job upgrade cards, even with cheat codes, you still need to put in the effort... you only gain experience through hard work.

废！

"You haven't eaten yet. Are you feeling better now?"

Yingzi put down what she was doing and wanted to go forward to help him up.

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "No, it's not like I have any serious illness, I'm really fine."

Yang Jianguo chuckled as he swung his arms deftly, "To be honest, I'm actually a little hungry."

Yingzi smiled and said, "I've kept your food warm in the pot, just wait."

Put it on the stove and open the lid of the steamer.

Braised pork belly, stir-fried cabbage, and four steamed buns bigger than a fist.

After serving it, Yingzi opened the fire drawer under the stove.

Inside were two roasted sweet potatoes, soft, sticky, and steaming hot.
