In the east wing of the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu and He Yushui sat at the table, and Qin Huairu told Yushui Wang Chong's answer euphemistically.

"Brother Wang Chong really said that?" There seemed to be a very thin layer of mist in those big black and bright eyes, and there was a thick disbelief on the young and pretty face, and there was a little unwillingness in the flickering eyes.

Qin Huairu also felt very sorry for the rain, as a neighbor, she knew the nature of the rain, but she couldn't say deceitful things in order not to let the rain get involved.

"I don't want to be his sister!" The white teeth of the rain tapped lightly on the lower lip, and the tone was firm.

Qin Huairu held Yushui's hand, like a sister pulling her own sister: "You can't force this kind of thing, and Wang Chong, this man is too good, my sister is afraid of you·····"

"Sister Qin!" Qin Huairu didn't finish speaking, he was interrupted by the rain, looking at the rain's firm and persistent eyes, Qin Huairu's words of persuasion could only be held back, turning into a helpless sigh.

"I know you're doing it for my good! But I want to try again. ”

"Sister supports you!" Looking at the appearance of the rain, Qin Huairu's mind involuntarily appeared that young and tall figure, thinking of that resolute and heroic face, the heart lake that had been calm for a long time since the death of her husband Jia Dongxu couldn't help but ripple.

"Such an excellent man, since you have met it, whether it is successful or not, you must always give it a try!" Qin Huairu said.

Women are all Mu Qiang in their bones, He Yushui is a normal woman, and naturally she is no exception.

Wang Chong's excellence, not to mention that it is just such a small courtyard, is also one of the best in the entire Red Star Rolling Mill.

And He Yushui has long been obsessed with Wang Chong, and he really doesn't want to miss it.

After talking to the rain for a while, Qin Huairu got up and went home.

In the house, Jia Zhang's had just served his grandson to wash his face and feet, and when he saw Qin Huairu coming back, he immediately turned his head around, and his face instantly turned cold.

Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhang's family, entered the house with a basin and fetched water, closed the door and helped Xiao Jin'er Huaihua scrub it first, and then washed it herself.

At night, the three children have already fallen asleep, but Jia Zhang's next to him is not asleep on the kang, but kneeling in the living room, with Jia Dongxu's portrait hanging on the wall, white cloth and white flags hanging around, and tributes on the case, the atmosphere is a little gloomy, Jia Zhang's kneeling on the futon in front of the statue, his hands are folded, and he mutters in his mouth.

If it was half a month ago, Qin Huairu was absolutely disgusted and had chills on her back, but now Qin Huairu, as if she couldn't see or hear, felt out the night pot from under the kang, squatted down and made it easy to get up, after a burst of water flow, Qin Huairu also got up and went outside the house to wash his hands, drank a glass of water by the way, and then went back to the back room to climb on the big kang, covered his stomach for the three children, turned his head down and closed his eyes, and after a while, his breathing stabilized, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

Qin Huairu still remembered that when Jia Zhang's first time he took out this trick, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and when he didn't sleep all night, Qin Huairu found Wang Chong the next day.

"Xiao Wang, in the future, you will clean up the house, or you should find someone else!" When Qin Huairu said this at that time, he felt that it was as painful as cutting flesh from his body with a knife.

Remembering that the house was decorated as a mourning hall in the middle of the night before night, Qin Huairu felt a chill in her back and couldn't help but tremble.

Wang Zhong asked, "Because of your mother-in-law?" ”

Qin Huairu didn't answer, and acquiesced.

But Wang Chong didn't agree immediately, but suddenly said to Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin, do you think it's important to support your three children, or is your mother-in-law's attitude important?" ”

"Of course it's important to feed the stick terrier and the little when they are!" Qin Huairu is not a stupid person, how can she not hear the meaning of Wang Chong's words: "But my mother-in-law, she ······"

Thinking that she went out to call someone last night, and the family immediately returned to normal, the grievances and depression in Qin Huairu's heart became more and more intense.

"In order to prevent me from coming, she did not hesitate to take out Dongxu's portrait late at night and decorate her home into a mourning hall." As soon as he thought of this, Qin Huairu's eyes gradually dimmed, and his head lowered, avoiding Wang Chong's gaze.

"Sister Qin!" Wang Chong said, "Can I ask you a few questions?" ”

Qin Huairu said: "What's the problem? ”

"Sister Qin, what do you think of your family's life?"

Qin Huairu said: "I can only barely get by, if it weren't for the stupid pillar and the uncle from time to time to help, the family wouldn't be able to open the pot at the end of every month." ”

"Sister Qin, to be honest, now is the time for the stick terrier to grow the body, this old saying is good, half a child, eat the old man, Sister Qin thinks, is it important to let the stick terrier, Xiaodang and Huaihua and them eat well, or is it important to follow your mother-in-law's wishes?"

"If Brother Dongxu really knows about it, what does Sister Qin think, how will Brother Dongxu choose?"

"But my mother-in-law ······ her"

Qin Huairu had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Wang Chong: "Sister Qin, I don't care, I still wish I could save these five yuan every month."

But you're different, how much food can you buy for five dollars? It can allow your three children in the family to eat a full meal for several days, and it can solve the problem of stick terrier tuition. ”

"Just because your mother-in-law is setting up a mourning hall in your house in the middle of the night, you have to give up a steady extra five dollars a month, and to be honest, in my opinion, this behavior could not be more stupid."

"Or do you want to be pinched by your mother-in-law like this for the rest of your life? Now in order to prevent you from doing this job, she can decorate the mourning hall in the middle of the night to disgust you, so what about in the future? If one day, Sister Qin, you and your mother-in-law have different views on a certain matter, and the two of you have a dispute, and she uses this method again, does Sister Qin plan to continue to choose to compromise? ”

"I ·····" Qin Huairu wanted to defend herself, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know where to start.

"If it's me, as long as I have a clear conscience, no matter what other small actions she decorates the mourning hall in the middle of the night, she can let her toss as much as she likes, she doesn't sleep, I still have to sleep! As long as you can feed a few children and keep them fed and clothed, it is more important than anything else. ”

"That's it, Sister Qin, you go back and think about it slowly, if you still decide to give up the five yuan, then you don't have to come back in the future."

Wang Chong's words impacted Qin Huairu's mind like Hong Zhong Da Lu.

Yes, in order to support his children, is it possible that he has suffered less losses outside the home? How many steamed buns can you buy for five dollars?

······

Jia Zhang's knelt in front of the statue and chattered for a long time, but there was gradually no movement in the room, Jia Zhang's couldn't help but be puzzled, got up and approached, opened the curtain, poked his head out, and looked at the kang, only to see the pu fan held by Qin Huairu pressed against his stomach.

Jia Zhang's face darkened and he walked closer and took a closer look, and after confirming that Qin Huairu was asleep, an old face had turned black into the bottom of the pot.

He turned around and walked out of the inner room, cleaned up the mourning hall in the hall, stuffed everything into the box, and climbed up to the kang angrily.

"Xiao Wang, come to my office."

On this day, not long after Wang Chong came to the workstation and sat down, he was called over by Lao Xu.

"What's the matter, section chief?" Wang Zhong asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Sit down, sit down!" It's obviously a good thing, and the smile on Lao Xu's face can't be stopped.

"Remember the last time you submitted a few sets of blueprints?" Lao Xu even took the initiative to pour Wang Zhong a cup of tea.

"Of course I do!" How could Wang Zhong forget the design drawings that he improved according to the principle of large agricultural tractors in later generations.

"Didn't you say that it had already been made at the machine factory?"

Lao Xu said with a smile: "The two prototypes made by the machinery factory have been officially put into use on the farms in the suburbs during autumn ploughing a while ago, and the effect is not bad, but the fuel consumption is a little larger."

It has been decided that the machinery factory will mass produce a batch and provide it to several farms in the suburbs, and after doing a few more tests to confirm that there is no problem, it will be put into production immediately. ”

In recent years, many large domestic factories have launched their own agricultural tractors, but in this regard, the country is still in its infancy, the technology is inevitably a little backward, and there are various shortcomings in the agricultural equipment launched by each family.

Wang Chong's design concept is indeed advanced, but because of the size is not small, the requirements for the engine and various accessories are naturally high, but unfortunately Wang Zhong does not know about the engine, and the domestic is just starting in this regard, and the technology is naturally far from being as good as abroad.

Wang Chong took out the drawings because in the decades in the copy of "Old Farmer", he deeply felt the hard work of being a farmer, and he did this just to make a contribution to agricultural construction.

Wang Chong really didn't expect that the machinery factory would be so powerful and make the prototype so quickly.

"Really?" Wang Chong said with a look of surprise.

Lao Xu said: "Of course it's true. ”

Wang Chong couldn't help but applaud: "Great." ”

Many people think that industry is the most important industry for the development and progress of modern society, but in fact, in the process of a country's development and progress, no matter which industry it is, it is indispensable.

And agriculture is the foundation of the foundation, especially in today's situation where all walks of life are withering and the country's economy is backward, the importance of agriculture is self-evident.

If you want to develop agriculture, mechanization is an indispensable process, and traditional manpower cattle farming is time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient.

Only by mechanization can we achieve more efficient and faster agricultural production.

There are many plains in the north, and the land is concentrated, so large agricultural machinery is simply not very useful.

"If this tractor can really be done, you kid will be the youngest engineer in our factory, and it is estimated that the machinery factory will rush to ask for you at that time."

Lao Xu looked at Wang Chong's gaze with fiery, as if he was looking at some treasure.

Wang Chong said: "No matter how powerful I am, it is also the soldier you brought out." ”

Lao Xu shook his head and said, "You kid is really condescending to stay in our rolling mill!" ”

Wang Chong smiled and said, "Then why don't you write me a letter of recommendation and let me go to the machinery factory or the steel factory!" ”

"!"

Lao Xu immediately changed his face, waved his hand impatiently to drive Wang Chong out of the door, and took the tea he had just poured for Wang Chong back in front of him.

"It's a pity that you're fat and you're still panting, so it's a pity for you to drink such a good tea."

Wang Chong knows Lao Xu's temperament, as long as there are no problems at work, it is nothing to joke occasionally.

As the days passed, the weather became colder and colder, and it was winter in a flash.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the factory is also busy, since the rectification, the production efficiency of the factory has increased, and the workload of the workers has naturally increased.

The rolling mill has expanded its recruitment twice, and recruited hundreds of apprentices into the factory, and Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li of the three masters also took this opportunity to enter the factory and started apprenticeships.

On this day, Wang Chongzheng was cooking in the house, and suddenly there was a quarrel in the middle courtyard, it was He Yuzhu and Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, and the quarrel was fierce.

A few days ago, Xu Damao went to the countryside to show a movie, and in order to thank him, the villagers specially gave him two old hens that were placing orders, as well as a number of local specialties.

But I didn't want to be a few days old, and one was missing, Xu Damao searched the entire backyard and didn't even see a single chicken feather, and just walked to the middle courtyard to get ready to look for it, he smelled the fragrance of chicken wafting out of the stupid pillar house.

These two people have always been at odds with each other, and they choked up without saying a word, Xu Damao shouted that he wanted to hold a meeting of the whole house, and he had to give the stupid pillar some color.

The stupid pillar didn't steal the chicken, and the mouth was notoriously hard, how could he be soft.

Not long after, under the call of the three masters, a whole house meeting was held in the front yard.

Xu Damao insisted that his chicken was stolen by Silly Zhu, although Silly Zhu did not steal the chicken, but he was stewing half a chicken from the factory in the house, this stealing Xu Damao's chicken and stealing the public's chicken are completely different in nature, Silly Zhu is not really stupid, how can he admit that his chicken was taken from the factory.

"Wait!" Just when Silly Zhu admitted that he stole the chicken, Wang Zhong stood up.

Although Wang Chong does not mix much in the affairs of the yard on weekdays, this is the family home of the rolling mill, and for more than a year, Wang Chong's status in the rolling mill has increased day by day, and this prestige naturally has.

"If you don't make things clear, how can you make up your mind!"

"It's already clear! Silly Zhu himself admitted it. Xu Damao decided that it was Silly Zhu who stole it, and Silly Zhu himself admitted that he was bullied by Silly Pillar on weekdays, and now he finally caught the handle of Silly Pillar once, how could Xu Damao let it go.

Wang Chong said: "Brother Da Mao, the three masters, and all the neighbors here, that is, the police handle the case, and it also pays attention to one person and physical evidence, we can't wronged any good person, but we can't let go of any bad person, is this the truth that everyone says?" ”

"Xiao Wang, although what you said makes sense, but Silly Zhu himself admits it, is there anything strange about this?"

It was Yan Fugui, the third master, who spoke, and the old man put one hand on the table and the other in his pocket, and he didn't forget to shake his head when he spoke.

"Third master, can you allow me to ask a few words first?" Wang Zhong said.

"Since someone has an objection, then ask clearly!" Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle, also spoke: "Xiao Wang, if you have anything to ask, just ask." ”

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, is an official fan, and now that Wang Zhong is so favored by the factory leaders, he naturally doesn't want to be offended, so he makes a statement even if he follows the words of the first uncle.

Wang Chong arched his hand at the three masters and said, "Since the three masters have agreed, then I will ask a few words first." ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Silly Zhu: "Brother Zhu, you said that you stole this chicken, so when did you steal it?" ”

"This?" Silly Zhu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qin Huairu next to him and said, "It's morning!" Yes, it's morning! ”

"What time is the morning?"

"How do I know this, I didn't look at the time!"

"And when did you kill the chicken?"

"Yes·····"

"Brother Zhu, you have to think clearly, these things will be clear when you ask in the factory."

Although Silly Zhu is shrewd, he doesn't know how to lie in the face of Wang Chong's questioning.

"I ······"

"Isn't that stupid?" Xu Damao said unwillingly.

If it was someone else, Xu Damao would have been scared a long time ago, but it was Wang Chong, Xu Damao had to give Wang Chong some face, and although he didn't deal with Silly Zhu, he also wanted to catch the real chicken thief.

"It's not simple, there are people in our yard all day and night, Brother Da Mao, your house is in the backyard, if outsiders enter the yard, this triple yard will definitely not escape everyone's eyes, besides, how can such a big old hen be taken out quietly, let's ask carefully if it is clear."

As soon as Wang Chong finished speaking, Silly Zhu came up to Wang Chong and whispered: "Brother, this is too troublesome, or forget about it, the chicken will be regarded as stolen by me, and I will pay him money." ”

Saying that, Silly Zhu also gestured to Qin Huairu in Wang Chong's crowd with his eyes, Wang Chong raised his eyes and looked, only to see Qin Huairu looking anxious, frowning, looking at himself with a little pleading in his eyes.

"No, you have to ask!" Xu Damao refused to give up, this is an old hen that lays eggs, not a needle and thread.

Xu Damao was very angry in his heart, not only angry at the chicken thief, but also angry at not being able to climb the stupid pillar and kill the stupid pillar's arrogance.

Yi Zhonghai is also a good person, seeing Qin Huairu's reaction to Silly Zhu, he already has a guess in his heart, but the matter has come to this point, even if he is the master in the courtyard, it is difficult to say anything.

Otherwise, his prestige as an uncle would be completely gone.

Liu Haizhong knocked on the table and said: "Our hospital has been in our hospital for so many years, let alone a chicken, not even a needle or thread has been lost, today's matter must be investigated." ”

"The second master is right, this matter must not be ambiguous, it must be investigated." Yan Fugui also expressed his position.

"If you don't catch this chicken thief, what will happen if someone loses something in the house in the future?"

"That's it, you have to find out!"

"Be sure to find out!"

The neighbors were surprisingly unanimous, but Qin Huairu was the only one who felt like frying oil, anxious, but didn't know what to do.
