Fast forward to September 1984. At the beginning of September, whenever Li Huayong was inspecting the construction site, he suddenly had an extra tail.

This beautiful little tail is naturally Lei Yutong. Since she is about to enter university to study architecture, in the words of her parents, she is now going to the construction site to experience the experience so that she can get a first impression of the industry she will be engaged in in the future.

This important task of letting Lei Yutong "experience life" in advance naturally fell on Li Huayong. There are several reasons for this, the first is that although there are many managers in the project department, everyone basically has their own focus, such as the management of safety, the quality of management, the construction staff is responsible for construction, and the technician is responsible for technology. In addition to a few leaders of the project department, Li Huayong seems to be the only one who is really in charge.

With Li Huayong's current position, because he manages the largest team on the entire construction site, although he is not the leader of the project department, and even all the managers of the entire project department can give instructions to him, but his work involves all aspects after all, and almost all functional departments of the entire project can intersect, which is why Lei Jianjun jokingly called him "scheduling". For this reason, it is only fitting for him to lead Lei Yutong to "experience life".

The second reason is also because the pile foundation construction of this project is nearing the end, with the initial run-in period, with the passage of the climax of the whole project, everyone's cooperation is becoming more and more skilled, the construction speed is getting faster and faster, and the progress of the whole project is becoming more and more smooth.

One of the characteristics of building construction is that the faster the construction speed, the less work the construction management personnel will have. The reason for this is not difficult to understand, the construction speed is very fast, indicating that there are few problems in the construction. What is the main job of the construction management personnel? It is nothing more than to deal with the problems encountered in the construction. Now that there are fewer problems, the construction management personnel will naturally be relaxed.

The current Li Huayong is in this state, so he has a lot of time to take Lei Yutong around the construction site.

The third and most important reason is that since the family banquet that night, Lei Yutong seems to be particularly interested in Li Huayong, and she especially likes to be with Li Huayong. Every time she came to the construction site, she didn't actually come with Li Huayong, either with Xia Minghuan or Deng Chaoqun, but every time she went back, she basically broke up with Li Huayong.

“。。。 Architecture is actually a comprehensive discipline, such as pile foundation construction, you want to do a good job in this kind of engineering, at least some knowledge of geology and rock mechanics you have to be involved, you see so many geotechnical samples placed in the engineering department, technicians need to determine whether a pile can be the final hole according to those samples, so how to determine? This requires the knowledge of geology. ”

“。。。 This process is called "hole cleaning", which is a very important process before pouring concrete, why do this work? This is because there is another work to be done between the final hole of the hole pile and the pouring of concrete, that is, the reinforcement cage. You know that it takes a certain amount of time to lower the reinforcement cage, and there is a large amount of mud in the hole pile, during this time under the reinforcement cage, it is easy to form a very thick layer of sediment at the bottom of the hole pile, and once the sediment is too thick, it is easy to affect the quality of the pile foundation. The function of hole cleaning is to remove these sediments out of the hole... ”

“。。。 Why did I say that mud is the most important problem in pile foundation construction, you should understand it now, right? The mud water is too thin, can not play the role of wall protection, the mud water is too thick, just this hole cleaning problem will give you a headache, and the more important thing is how to configure the most suitable mud water? This is something you can't learn in books, which requires operators to have rich experience... ”

“。。。 These boxy brick-like things are called "concrete test blocks", why do you want to do this kind of thing? Mainly for quality inspection, for example, after the completion of this project, how do you know whether these pile foundations are qualified? Does the strength of the concrete meet the design requirements? You can't dig a piece out of each pile foundation to do testing, right? This is the function of these test blocks, and at the same time as each production of concrete, you have to do a batch of these test blocks. We judge whether these pile foundations meet the quality requirements through these test blocks, and even judge whether you have cut corners in construction. . . . ”

In the face of the curious baby-like thunderstorm, Li Huayong answers such common-sense questions every time. These questions are simple, but it depends on who they are. Li Huayong naturally came at his fingertips and answered casually, but it was completely different in Lei Yutong's ears.

Like what "rock body mechanics", like what "concrete test block", listening to the professional words that came out of Li Huayong's mouth, it was definitely full of compelling, if the person who said these words was Lei Jianjun or Xia Minghuan, it would be fine, but this person was Li Huayong, who was sitting in the middle school classroom like himself a few months ago.

Two days later, Lei Yutong's curiosity about Li Huayong increased instead of decreasing, and as they became familiar with each other, Lei Yutong's questions became more and more gossip and more personal.

"Brother Yong, how old are you this year?"

"This... It should be almost 20, in short, you must not be wrong to call Brother Yong. ”

To be honest, Li Huayong really doesn't know what age this body is now. You must know that you don't even have an ID card now, and if you want to know your age, you can only look at the household registration book, and it is obviously impossible to bring the household registration book when you come out to work. As for Uncle Gen, they said that he was 18 years old, Li Huayong thought that this was not necessarily reliable, because when we Chinese reported their age, there were "imaginary years" and "real years", and Li Huayong did not understand at all whether Uncle Gen reported "imaginary years" or "real years" according to the customs and habits of "Li Jiaao".

Seeing Li Huayong in that branch, he didn't expect Lei Yutong to become more and more interested:

"And what about your birthday? What is your birthday? You should always know your own birthday. ”

Li Huayong smiled bitterly in his heart, this... I really don't know. If you have the heart to report one, or report your birthday in your previous life or something. Li Huayong felt that it was inappropriate, because there will always be such a thing as an ID card in the future, if you let others know that a person even talks nonsense about his birthday...

There was no way, Li Huayong had no choice but to reply like this: "Hey, I said Tongtong, didn't anyone tell you that it's rude to ask about other people's ages casually?"

"What did you say?"

looked at Lei Yutong with an ignorant look, as if he couldn't figure out what he was talking about at all. Only then did Li Huayong react that a view similar to this would have to wait for magazines such as "Reader's Digest" to become popular in China before everyone established such a concept. This kind of magazine has two characteristics: one is chicken soup for the soul, which instills all kinds of chicken soup for the soul in everyone. The second is petty bourgeoisie, sparing no effort to promote petty bourgeoisie in China.

It's a pity that it's only 1984, and China has not yet entered the era of "petty bourgeoisie".

"What a generation gap. Li Huayong could only sigh in his heart.

"Don't you know? You can ask your sister Lotus, and she'll tell you why you can't just ask about other people's ages. ”

Hearing Li Huayong call Lin Wei his nickname, Lei Yutong was suddenly overjoyed, this is what Li Huayong just told her yesterday:

"Really, how do you know that Sister Lin Wei's nickname is Lotus?"

"It's not like you, it's supposed to be like that... After Li Huayong recited the sentence "lotus" in Cantonese:

"Of course I know, I'm listening to Lao Lu... That's right, that's what Mr. Lu called her. ”

"I still don't believe it. ”

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Because I've never heard you call her that. If you dare to call her that to her face, then I believe what you say is true. ”

Li Huayong smiled dumbly: "You are really a fool, have you ever seen someone who threw Wang Fang out first when he fought the landlord... By the way, you don't know what it means to fight the landlord.,Let's put it this way.,You always know the killer weapon.,Her nickname.,That's the killer weapon in my hand.,The killer weapon used to deal with her.。。。 Speaking of this, Li Huayong was a little proud: "... Don't you see that she's a little afraid of me? Why is she afraid of me? Actually, she's afraid that I'll call her by her nickname. But you have to know that something like a killer tool can't be used lightly, otherwise it will fail if you use it too much. ”

Lei Yutong only smiled, "You are so cunning. ”

Since the two mentioned Lin Wei, Lei Yutong suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, Sister Lin Wei went back to Xiangjiang two days ago, and I don't know if I'm back today?"

"Why don't you take a look?"

"Let's go, let's see. ”

The two walked one after the other towards the owner's office area. Li Huayong likes to run to the owner's office, which really has no other meaning, mainly because in the entire construction site, only the owner's office has the best conditions. On this hot day, even Lei Jianjun's office has only one broken ceiling fan, and only the owner's office is equipped with air conditioning.

To put it bluntly, Li Huayong is going to "rub the cool".

"By the way, Tongtong, don't you believe that her name is Lotus? Why don't you wait for you to call her Sister Lotus and try it?"

"I... I don't dare. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, just because I don't dare doesn't mean you don't dare, I'm still going to continue to deal with her here, and you're going to run away in a few days. ”

"But... ”

"Come on, I'm going to teach you Cantonese now, follow me... ”

"Sister Lotus. Li Huayong read a sentence in Cantonese.

"Sister Lotus... ”
