Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over
Page 66
After all, I am not even fifty years old yet. Maybe if I work hard I can give birth to a pearl.
Xu Damao’s second stop was Sha Zhu’s place.
These two are a pair of arch-enemies in the courtyard, and they are either quarreling or fighting every day.
In the end, the one who suffered most of the losses was Xu Damao.
There is no way, his fighting ability is not as good as that of Sha Zhu, the God of War in the Siheyuan.
Now that he has a son, Xu Damao wants to show off to Sha Zhu.
“Shazhu, how is it? My husband is going to have a son now, but you don’t even have a wife yet.”
“But it’s okay. You just try your best to win Qin Huairu over. You can get two for free if you buy one. No, you can get three for free if you buy one. Qin Huairu is pregnant with one. Then you will have a son and a daughter without any effort. You will be a winner in life. I’m so envious.” Xu Damao said while standing outside the door.
Sha Zhu was so angry that he wanted to explode: “Grandson, are you looking for a fight?” He went up with his fists clenched.
Xu Damao was prepared and turned around and ran.
But his physical fitness was obviously much worse than Sha Zhu’s. Despite starting early, he was soon caught up by Sha Zhu.
Just when Xu Damao was about to be caught up by Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai suddenly stood up and blocked Sha Zhu: “Come on, Zhuzi, what are you doing so early in the morning?”
Sha Zhu pointed at Xu Damao who took the opportunity to hide behind Yi Zhonghai and said, “Uncle, get out of the way! I’m going to beat this bastard to death today!”
Yi Zhonghai glared at me: “What? My words are useless? We live in the same courtyard, but you keep scolding and beating me all day long. What a disgrace!”
Sha Zhu wanted to say something, but Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, “Alright, stop making trouble. Go back and pack up your things today. Don’t forget to meet the girl. If you stand her up again today, I will have nothing to do with you.”
Sha Zhu had no choice but to give up. In the end, he pointed at Xu Damao and cursed: “Grandson, wait, don’t let me block you!”
Xu Damao hid behind Yi Zhonghai and jumped: “Who is afraid of who!”
As soon as Sha Zhu turned around, Xu Damao immediately shrank back.
When Sha Zhu was about to say something, Yi Zhonghai glared at him and walked away embarrassedly.
Xu Damao was still showing off, so Yi Zhonghai said unhappily, “That’s enough, haven’t you been beaten enough? Either I get out of the way and you fight with Zhuzi?”
Xu Damao chuckled and was about to go back, but Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped him: “Wait, Xu Damao, I have something to ask you.”
Thanks to Yi Zhonghai’s help today, Xu Damao was spared a beating. He quickly approached him and asked, “Uncle, what’s the matter?”
Yi Zhonghai asked in a low voice: “Let me ask you, Xu Damao, you and Lou Xiao’e have been married for several years and have not gotten pregnant. How come you suddenly got pregnant? Did you see a good doctor? Which hospital?”
Xu Damao said proudly: “There are good doctors, but they are not from any particular hospital.”
Yi Zhonghai asked: “Did you open your own clinic?”
Xu Damao chuckled: “Uncle, in fact, he is far away in the sky and close at hand.”
Yi Zhonghai was stunned. Xu Damao put his mouth close to his ear and whispered, “In fact, it was all thanks to Chongzi that Ezi was able to get pregnant this time.”
“Chongzi? The doctor he introduced to you?”
Xu Damao shook his head: “No need to introduce, it’s him.”
Yi Zhonghai was a little puzzled: “Him?” He paused for a moment and seemed to understand something, and whispered: “You didn’t ask Yang Chong to replace you…”
Xu Damao interrupted immediately: “What? Uncle, stop talking nonsense. Is Chongzi that kind of person? Am I that kind of person? What I mean is that there is no need to introduce any doctors. Chongzi is the best doctor. His medical skills are much better than those doctors in big hospitals.”
“It was Chongzi who diagnosed my illness this time. He said that the main reason why the moth couldn’t reproduce was because of me, and he prescribed some medicine for me to take care of myself.”
“As a result, this treatment is really effective. Moth got pregnant right away. Tell me, isn’t Chongzi amazing?”
Chapter 147 Sister Qin is a Really Good Person
Xu Damao’s words made Yi Zhonghai struggle with himself all day long.
Xu Damao, who also had no children, was going to have a child. This gave Yi Zhonghai a glimmer of hope. He seemed to have seen the scene of his own children being in his arms.
If I could make my dream come true like Xu Damao, then I wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble to find someone to take care of me in my old age.
There will be no chance that Jia Dongxu’s family will stick to him and suck his blood.
Since Xu Damao can succeed, why don’t I, Yi Zhonghai, have any hope?
But the problem is, it was Yang Chong who cured Xu Damao.
However, Yang Chong has always had a grudge against me. He can help Xu Damao cure his illness, but he may not help me.
That kid, when he saw me now, it was as if he saw stinky dog shit. As soon as he saw me, his face turned black and he stayed away from me.
Getting him to treat me would probably be harder than climbing to the sky.
But for the sake of the Yi family having descendants and for someone to take care of me in my old age, I have to go no matter how difficult it is.
Even if someone gives you a cold shoulder, you still have to put on a smile.
For the sake of my son, I have to endure everything.
Yi Zhonghai made up his mind that after work in the afternoon, he would buy some things and go to Yang Chong on his own initiative. He was willing to sacrifice his reputation and let him help him.
Sha Zhu was very angry. Xu Damao came to provoke him, and he was indeed irritated.
Xu Damao is two years younger than him, but he married long before him.
In the past, he could still use the fact that he and his wife couldn’t have children as an excuse. But now, she is pregnant, but he doesn’t even have a wife.
Seeing others showing off in front of him, Sha Zhu was very angry and a little annoyed.
It seems that I have to find a wife quickly, otherwise my grandson Xu Damao will inevitably show off in front of me and provoke me in the future.
Yes, I will go on a blind date later, as long as the girl is not too ugly.
No matter how good Sister Qin is, she is still a widow, right?
What’s more, Old Lady Jia would definitely not agree to her remarrying, so it would be a waste of time for her to waste any more time.
From now on, I will never waste my time on her again.
Sha Zhu made up his mind and started to tidy himself up in front of the mirror, ready to go for the blind date in a neat and tidy manner.
Just then, someone knocked on the door twice: “Zhu Zi, are you up?”
It’s Sister Qin!
Sha Zhu immediately dropped the comb in his hand and ran over to open the door: “Sister Qin, what’s the matter?”
Qin Huairu looked at him: “Zhu Zi, I heard that you are going on a blind date today?”
Sha Zhu scratched his head and said with a grumble: “Well, an old man recommended it to me, but I didn’t make it yesterday.”
Qin Huairu asked again: “What does the girl look like?”
Sha Zhu said: “I haven’t seen him yet, but after looking at the photos, it seems…”
“Like what?”
“It seems a bit old-fashioned.” Sha Zhu was very honest and spoke the truth.
Qin Huairu said, “Hey, what’s the point of meeting? You’re a chef at a steel mill, you get paid so much, you don’t have elderly people to support, and you have a house at home. You can find any girl with such good conditions. Do you think you have the right to meet an old-looking girl?”
“This…” Sha Zhu hesitated and said, “But this was introduced by a great master, and I stood him up yesterday. If I don’t go today, it will be wrong. I won’t be able to report to the great master.”
“What’s the big deal? Zhuzi, just tell the uncle that I’ll arrange your blind date for you, and he won’t have to worry about it. I have a younger sister at home, who is eighteen years old this year. She is very beautiful, many times more beautiful than the one he described. I will bring her over tomorrow for you two to meet.” Qin Huairu said.
“Really?” Sha Zhu was happy when he heard it.
Sister Qin is so beautiful, how can her sister not be pretty?
And he’s only eighteen, much better than the one who looks like twenty-nine.
“Of course it’s true. How could I lie to you?” Qin Huairu said.
“Okay, then I’ll listen to you and won’t go to meet him today.” Sha Zhu said happily.
“Yes, listen to me, that’s right.” Qin Huairu was about to turn around when she remembered something: “By the way, Zhuzi, Banggeng wants to eat fish. You are familiar with Chongzi, can you help me get one?”
Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, “Sister Qin, forget about Chongzi. He will definitely be unhappy if he knows it was you who wanted it. Well, I still have two dollars in my pocket. Go to the pigeon market and buy one.”
As she spoke, she took out two dollars from her pocket and handed it over. Qin Huairu took it without hesitation: “Okay, Zhuzi, you go to work. I’ll go to the Pigeon Market to see if there are any fish.”
Qin Huairu left, and Sha Zhu watched from behind, thinking happily in his heart: “Sister Qin is such a good person. She wants to introduce her younger sister to me. Her younger sister must be as beautiful as me. When we become relatives, I can see her every day. It’s great.”
Yang Chong came to the factory today, but found that there were few people in the office building, especially those middle-level leaders, who were almost not in the office.
It seems like something happened.
He asked casually, and immediately a subordinate told him: “Chief Yang, you don’t know yet? The leaders have all gone to the workshop, especially those in the technical department. They have all gone to the first workshop. It seems that they have encountered some technical difficulties. Director Yang is having a headache.”
“Oh?” Yang Chong nodded and didn’t take it seriously.
After all, I know nothing about technical matters, so it would be pointless to ask.
But he went to look for Hou Liqiu but couldn’t find him. People in the office said that Director Hou had also gone to the workshop.
There was no choice but to go to a workshop.
As soon as I entered the workshop, I felt a depressing atmosphere.
There are a lot of people in the workshop, not only workers on the production line, but also almost all the middle-level leaders who are not seen in the office building are here.
The technicians and engineers from the technical department are also here.
There is also Hou Liqiu and the section chiefs of the technical department and the statistics department.
Of course, there are also Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, and Chief Engineer Zhong.
Everyone’s face looked serious, and it was obvious that they had encountered some difficulties.
Yang Chong didn’t dare to disturb everyone. He walked over quietly and pulled Hou Liqiu’s clothes.
Hou Liqiu turned his head and saw that it was him. Without saying much, he pointed outside and the two of them quietly walked out.
Yang Chong took out this month’s purchase plan and asked Hou Likui to sign it, then pointed inside: “What’s going on, has something happened, Director Hou?”
Hou Likui said: “There is a problem with the technology. The steel billets from the steel mill cannot meet the technical indicators when hot-rolled here. They cannot meet future production requirements at all. The technical department has been studying it for almost a day and has not found a solution.”
Yang Chong asked curiously, “Hasn’t our factory always produced like this? How come it suddenly can’t meet the requirements?”
Hou Likui sighed: “It’s all the fault of the Russians.”
Chapter 148: Seeing the Devil Again
“Russians? Why are they involving the Russians again?” Yang Chong was even more confused.
Hou Likui said, “You came to the factory late, so you don’t know a lot of things. When we had a good relationship with the Russians, the Russians sent experts to provide us with technical guidance and construction. But after we fell out with the Russians last year, the Russians withdrew the experts, and when they were there, they hid the technology in their own pockets. Now that they are gone, many technical problems have emerged, and our current technology cannot solve them.”
Yang Chong frowned. He had heard of the situation Hou Liqiu described when he was studying history, but he didn’t expect that he would encounter it himself.
Hou Likui looked at him and sighed, “What a pity, you don’t understand the technology, otherwise you would be a lucky star of our steel mill, and maybe you could help Director Yang solve his problems. Now that the technology can’t solve the problem, the steel mill will have a hard time. Forget it, I won’t say anymore, I have to go in quickly.”
As he spoke, he hurried in. However, Yang Chong suddenly had an idea in his mind.
I don’t understand technology, but I can help with it.
Don’t the Russians want to help us? Then I will go and get a better technology than the Russians and produce materials with higher technical indicators to piss off these unfaithful Russians!
He had read information before. The 1960s was a period of rapid development of the steel industry in the United States. Many steel industry giants emerged, and their technology was absolutely leading the world.
If we could take over their steel technology, solving the difficulties of the steel mill would definitely not be a problem.
Yang Chong did what he said. He went straight to the beautiful country after returning to the office.
It was another long journey, and three hours later he finally landed on the land of the beautiful country.
However, when he came to this land, he realized that he seemed to have thought the problem too simply.
Although the United States’ steel technology is world-leading, in order to obtain this technology, one must go to the companies of those steel giants and find senior talents who master the technology.
But where to find these talents? For him, who knew almost nothing about this era, it was like a headless fly.
What to do? Where to find such experts and talents? The best way is to find someone familiar who can help you know who to find and where to find them.
But he had only been to this beautiful country once before, so there was no one he knew who could help him.
Just when Yang Chong was at a loss, suddenly a poster in the distance caught his eye.
This was a poster for movie promotion, and the photo of the movie’s heroine caught his attention.
