Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, Hu Ping was stunned for a while: "What? Just reheat it? It's so simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple. Zhao Guoyang said with confidence.

Hu Ping hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you today? If you have time, can you go to our Jiangyu Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and we can talk about how to deal with these hoes? Don't worry, after the matter is done, I will personally send you back to Jianghai County." ”

When the two were chatting just now, Hu Ping already knew that Zhao Guoyang's destination was Jianghai County.

At this time, seeing that these hoes of his supply and marketing cooperatives were expected to be repaired, Hu Ping of course did everything possible to hold Zhao Guoyang first.

"This ......," Zhao Guoyang said with some embarrassment.

"Brother Hu, I can't hide it, I really don't have time to accompany you on this trip today. But don't worry, you can find a machine factory with a heat treatment process according to the method I said, and re-quench these hoes, and it should be no problem. ”

"Quenching?"

Looking at Hu Ping's dazed appearance, Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile: "The so-called quenching, in fact, in academic fields and industries such as metal material processing and metal heat treatment, should be read as (zhànhuǒ), that is, 'dipping fire'. It means that the hot workpiece heated to a certain extent is dipped in the medium to meet the requirements. ”

"In fact, surface quenching of metal parts is the main content of metal heat treatment, the purpose of which is to obtain a high hardness surface layer and favorable internal stress distribution to improve the wear resistance and fatigue resistance of the workpiece. ”

"The hoes you bought obviously did not meet the ideal requirements because the quenching lasted for a short time, so the hardened structure on its surface did not meet the ideal requirements. ”

Listening to Zhao Guoyang say one set of things and more professional, the apprehension in Hu Ping's heart finally gradually dissipated.

"Cheng, then I'll do what you said, brother. It just so happened that an old comrade-in-arms of our president opened a machine factory, and it seems that there is a heat treatment process, so I will go over and ask him for help when I turn around!"

"Well, Brother Hu, you just need to repeat it as I said, and the other party should know. Zhao Guoyang nodded.

"Then you repeat, I'll be safer to take the notes. Hu Ping hurriedly took out his pen and found a small note to write it down word by word.

Jiang Yuzhen arrived soon, and Zhao Guoyang helped Hu Ping move the hoe all the way out of the car, and then waved goodbye to him.

At the time of parting, Hu Ping shook Zhao Guoyang's hand vigorously and said: "Brother Guoyang, thanks to your reminder this time, after I go back, if I can repair these hoes according to the method you said, I must thank you." ”

"Brother Hu, you don't have to be polite, it's just a gesture. Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly.

He has a good impression of Hu Ping, and he can see that this is a village cadre who is willing to endure hardships and do things, so he wants to help him if he can.

……

In the early 90s, the minibus was better than the ox cart, the speed was much worse than the bus in the 21st century, and it broke down halfway, making a distance of dozens of kilometers, tossing for several hours to reach the station, and it was almost dark.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Guoyang struggled to dodge the rickshaw driver who rushed up and strode towards the way home.

Zhao Guoyang's home is at the junction of urban and rural areas in Jianghai County, more than ten kilometers away from the station.

The original ten-kilometer road was not a problem for Zhao Guoyang, an amateur who often runs marathons, but he couldn't stand the poor road conditions.

The potholes and mud on this road made Zhao Guoyang secretly complain.

Zhao Guoyang, who had a meal halfway and bought something by the way, arrived at his destination, looking at the blue brick house in front of him, he felt a little inexplicable.

After being reborn, this was the first time he had returned to this home, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart about to see his relatives - both anticipation, hesitation, and a little more apprehension.

Zhao Guoyang gently pushed open the hidden gate, and scratched his head when he looked at the black lights in the courtyard.

At this time, it was just over eight o'clock, less than nine o'clock, but it seemed that the family had already gone to sleep.

Perhaps it was a sound when the gate was pushed, Zhao Guoyang had just entered the courtyard when there was a noise in the outermost room.

After a while, a young and beautiful girl came out of the room.

"Ah, brother, why are you back?" the girl shouted in surprise as she looked at Zhao Guoyang with her mouth wide open.

Seeing this innocent girl with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, and a ponytail, Zhao Guoyang's previous worries about the strangeness were immediately swept away, and he almost subconsciously said: "Xiaojing, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet, don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"

This girl is naturally Zhao Guoyang's sister Zhao Xiaojing.

She is just seventeen years old this year, she is in her second year of high school, her grades are quite good, and the study pressure is not very great, and she is not as hard as those high school students who later worked, and she had to stay up until after eleven o'clock almost every day before she could sleep.

In his previous life, Zhao Guoyang not only did not experience the love of his parents, nor did he enjoy the affection of sisters and brothers, but also because he was immersed in technology and devoted himself to research and development, he didn't find a girlfriend, so after seeing his sister in this life, he couldn't say anything to reprimand.

Zhao Xiaojing replied with a smile: "Brother, I made an appointment with Xiaojuan, I will go to Jianghai County to play tomorrow, and hurry up to finish my homework tonight, if I don't do my homework well, my mother won't let me out." ”

"Xiaojuan......" Zhao Guoyang was stunned.

"It's Wang Juan, my classmate, who lives at the corner of the street. Zhao Xiaojing looked at her brother suspiciously and said.

"Brother, you won't forget, Xiaojuan is your admirer. ”

Zhao Guoyang was the first of the children of the nearby residents to be admitted to university, so he was naturally the envy of the surrounding neighbors.

In addition, he is tall and handsome, and it is easy to get the favor of some little girls.

"Oh! I see. Zhao Guoyang vaguely agreed, and after following Zhao Xiaojing back to the house, before he could sit down and drink saliva, a black shadow rushed towards him.

Zhao Guoyang subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, only to find that it was a soil dog.

"Xiao Hei, brother hasn't come back for so long, you still know him!" Zhao Xiaojing laughed.

"Wang!" Xiao Hei seemed to understand Zhao Xiaojing's words, and echoed her with a cry.

The barking of the black dog woke up a room full of people, and soon, Zhao Guoyang's parents walked out of the room in the west chamber with their clothes on.

"Hey, Guoyang, are you back?" Zhao Guoyang's father's name is Zhao Jingzhong, he is forty-five years old this year, and he is very strong, and it looks like Zhao Guoyang is carved out of his mold.

Zhao Guoyang's mother, He Huifen, is a few years younger than Zhao Jingzhong, and she looks very dignified and upright.
