Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Thinking about this, Yang Jianguo frowned: "This matter depends on the woman's family's wishes."

Ultimately, it's a private matter, but it also involves the entire compound.

If the two of them really clash, will there be any peace in the courtyard?

Yang Jianguo was also worried that Yan Jiecheng might make a serious mistake in a moment of impulse.

The hatred of having one's wife stolen is immense!

Given that Yan Jiecheng already had conflicts with him, both old and new grudges, it wouldn't be surprising if he did something drastic.

If a murderer were to emerge from this family, their reputation would suffer.

The key issue is the child; this hasn't even turned into a murder...the neighbor's crime yet.

Listen, what's going on here?

"Sigh, why can't we just live a peaceful life?" With a sigh, Yingzi got on her bike and rode away.

Yang Jianguo also got into the car and headed towards the steel rolling mill.

I feel helpless; why can't we just live a peaceful life?

Chapter 243 New Rewards, Disassemble the Machine

[Sign in for two consecutive days to gain 'Concentration' effect +1, 'Effectiveness' effect +1, and Skill Enhancement Card x1.]

Today's rewards are exceptionally generous, especially the two newly introduced 'special effects'.

Concentration allows Yang Jianguo to focus more on his work, greatly improving his thinking and practical skills.

"Doubling the results with half the effort" is somewhat like "double the experience," which not only makes his work easier but also gives him double the experience bonus.

As for the 'Skill Enhancement Card', its effect is more precise than that of the 'Job Enhancement Card'.

It improves individual skills in all aspects, without any requirements.

It's not just about one particular job; anyone with skills can improve their abilities.

If Yang Jianguo uses the 'Skills Enhancement Card', he can learn to cook and stir-fry dishes in the kitchen.

Then his cooking skills will improve significantly.

If he goes to the lake to learn to swim, he will go from being a landlubber to a skilled swimmer.

He could learn from others by making sugar figurines or doing business, gaining experience and improving his skills.

Now, Yang Jianguo needs it to solve the problem at hand.

The task of producing precision-rolled steel pipes with inner four corners is a new assignment from above.

The difficulty of this task lies not in the precision of the inner four corners, which the special workshop is confident in.

The problem lies in the 'finish rolling' process.

"Master, the equipment in our factory doesn't meet the standards at all."

What Zhang Chao said was exactly what the other workers wanted to say.

If the equipment and temperature are not up to standard, even the most basic material standards cannot be met, so how can you talk about precise four-corner alignment?

"What did Director Yang say?" The task was assigned by Director Yang, and Yang Jianguo didn't believe he was unaware of this.

Li Yaoguo, who was standing next to him, spoke up: "The factory director said that we must overcome difficulties and rise to the challenge!"

Yang Jianguo remained silent, staring at the blueprints in front of him, lost in thought.

After a long while, he suddenly spoke up: "Let's start with the basics and dismantle the rolling mill."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Master Hao puffed on his cigarette and asked, "Jianguo, are you going to modify the machine?"

Yang Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, didn't Director Yang say that we must rise to the challenge?"

Since he knew this was a difficult problem for the factory, and still took on the task, it meant that the task was impossible to refuse.

Yang Jianguo doesn't need to delve into the reasons behind this; there's only one thing he should do right now.

Let's find a way to get this task completed.

If the basic requirements aren't met, we'll start from scratch, disassemble the machine, and modify it.

Two 'special effects' plus a 'skill upgrade card', plus his personal accumulated technical experience.

Level 7 riveter, Level 8 forger, Level 8 welder, Level 8 fitter...

With so many top-notch experts gathered together, he refused to believe there was any tough nut he couldn't crack.

"Okay, let's do as Jianguo says, demolish it."

Li Yaoguo waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the machine.

"Come on, come on, disassemble the machine and bring all the tools over."

"I've only ever heard people talk about modifying machines before, but today we finally have the chance to learn about it ourselves."

"Not only do you gain knowledge, but you also learn to do things yourself!"

Seeing that no one was intimidated by the difficulties, Yang Jianguo became even more confident.

As long as everyone is of one mind and works together towards a common goal, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Just do it!

They went up and disassembled the machine, neatly arranging all the parts on the open ground.

The new apprentices in the workshop are responsible for cleaning the oil stains off the parts and re-polishing them with oil.

The craftsmen were discussing which parts needed to be modified to meet the required standards for the craft.

Let them discuss it. Yang Jianguo called the boiler operator to his side and said, "The temperature must be well controlled. After the operators have finished discussing it, you need to communicate with them about this."

"Don't worry, Director, I haven't made a mistake in the eight years I've been doing this job," the boiler operator replied confidently.

With the boiler operator's guarantee, the most basic security is assured.

Next, we'll see what kind of renovation plan the craftsmen come up with.

Yang Jianguo had some ideas in mind, but he needed to think them over carefully.

Moreover, he doesn't intend to speak at this moment.

Let the masters figure out their own solutions first, and put their knowledge and ideas to use.

You can't expect to do everything yourself.

If he has to do all the work, what's the point of having these other people?

He didn't want a bunch of yes-men who only knew how to obey orders.

In a special workshop, you not only have to be diligent, but you also have to learn and work.

You also need to use your brain, think, and have your own experience and conclusions.

If you get used to relying on others and stop using your brain, your skills will decline.

In the end, let alone making progress, I won't even be able to keep up with the little work I have now.

This discussion lasted for three hours.

The rolling mill was tinkered with four or five times, but the final results were not ideal.

Yang Jianguo watched from the sidelines, offering appropriate guidance and reminders.

He only pointed out the problem after he had squeezed every last drop of knowledge out of the masters' minds.

"Come and see, everyone..."

"Could we modify the drive wheel to make it a semi-circular structure?"

"When it's halfway in, we use the pause in the middle to make adjustments, and then the other half of the drive wheels completes the remaining work."

Seeing the precise design on the blueprints, Li Yaoguo beamed with pride: "The overall work is divided into two parts, but not completely separated."

"Jianguo, your idea is brilliant!" Li Yaoguo patted his shoulder hard, as excited as could be.

After exchanging ideas, the other craftsmen also agreed with his suggestions.

"Let's give it a try first."

Whether it works or not, we'll find the answer after we try.

By the time the crescent-shaped drive wheel on the blueprint was finally built, it was almost dark.

Seeing that the chefs showed no sign of stopping, Qin Huairu called an apprentice and asked him to inform the canteen and others.

Over here, the workers have all finished their shifts.

The kitchen staff prepared the meal and waited for the workers in the workshop to come and eat.

After we finish eating, it's time to pack up and go home.

I waited and waited, but no one came.

Mahua was a little anxious and asked, "Master, could it be that someone made a mistake and all the workshop workers have gone home?"

Sha Zhu blew on the tea leaves, thought for a moment, and said, "No way, how could we make a mistake like this?"

Could you possibly get it wrong whether there are tasks from above or whether we need to work overtime?

"I bet he's busy as a bee again." Just as Sha Zhu finished speaking, he saw someone come in from outside.

Upon seeing his face clearly, Sha Zhu grinned smugly and said, "See? What did I tell you?"

I guessed correctly, but it still delayed my time to get off work.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Sha Zhu slammed the lid of his teacup shut: "Alright, you can keep the fried dough twists, the rest of you can go home first!"

Hearing him say that, everyone was overjoyed.

After exchanging a few polite words, they all left.

We all have families; who wants to waste time here after work?

If you're not getting paid, what's the point?

The twisted dough sticks were fine, so I pulled up a small stool and sat down next to the chef. "Master, how long do we have to wait?"

Sha Zhu glanced at him and said, "I have a wife and I'm not in a hurry, what's the rush for you, a single guy? Are you dating someone?"

The simple-minded man scratched his head sheepishly, "I just met a girl, and I think she's interested in me."

Upon hearing that his apprentice was talking to a woman, Sha Zhu became interested: "Tell me, Master, let me give you some advice."

Mahua was also excited. With her mentor giving her advice, things were sure to succeed.

These two clueless fools, who know nothing about relationships, actually started discussing the important subject of 'emotions'.

We lost track of time during the discussion.

When Yang Jianguo and the workshop foreman came to eat, the two of them were still whispering to each other.

Li Yaoguo stood outside the window, peeked inside, and laughed.

Pointing with his finger, Li Yaoguo joked, "The master and apprentice are even whispering to each other."

"Master He, Master He, hey~" Master Hao patted the table and shouted, "What are you talking about? You're completely absorbed in it."

Sha Zhu looked up, stood up and laughed, "Everyone's here. This isn't Ma Hua, my apprentice's on a date, and I'm here to give him advice!"

"You?" Li Yaoguo's eyes widened in disbelief. Sha Zhu was acting as a relationship advisor for someone else.

Bro, are you kidding me?!

"What's wrong?" Sha Zhu glared and said, "My wife is a teacher, she teaches at the Second Elementary School, and they already have a child."

Li Yaoguo laughed so hard he was shaking. "That's all thanks to Jianguo for setting up the connection for you. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been your turn."

Yang Jianguo waved his hand and said, "This is not my achievement; it was Aunt Liu who did it."

Sha Zhu grinned sheepishly, then turned and glared at Li Yaoguo: "Don't expect to see any meat in your dishes today."

Joking aside, when it was time to eat, the amount of meat in the bowl was still there.

The food in the special workshop is really good.
