After eating and sleeping for a while, Xu Ruyi turned over his luggage, there were not many things, except for two changes of clothes, bedding, pots and pans, and the rest of the big bags were books.

In addition to textbooks, there are also a lot of expired periodicals - her teacher Shu Nan moved back to Beijing, and these magazines were given to her without taking them back.

Xu Ruyi took a look, there are "Xia Guo Machine Tool", "Boiler", "Technology" and other publications, all of which are professional magazines with a large circulation today.

Xu Jixiang kept listening to the movement, and when he heard the voice, he knew that Xu Ruyi was awake, so he opened the curtain and squeezed in: "Sister, are you packing up your things?" I'll help you, I promise to be careful not to break it for you! ”

Xu Ruyi waved his hand and pointed to the one in front of him, "Do you know how to sell things?" ”

Xu Jixiang didn't react a little and blinked.

Xu Ruyi said: "If you sell these, you will go to the factory gate, get off work immediately, and sell them just now." ”

"Isn't this your baby?"

If this thing is seen in its original form, it is indeed a treasure, but for Xu Ruyi, it is already a very outdated technology, and it is not very useful except for understanding the current industry level. And for the technicians in Liaoyuan County, this is a good thing that is difficult to buy.

This body has just starved to death, and the two younger siblings are also looking at malnutrition, if you don't supplement nutrition quickly, the people are gone, and the books are still there, what's the use?

"I've read it all, no need, hurry up, five cents a book, and these books are a dollar." She gestured to another stack.

One is five cents? There are dozens of copies!

Xu Jixiang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly shouted: "Brother! Elder brother! Sell books with me! ”

Xu Ruyi watched the brothers and sisters go out in a hurry, and put a few magazines on the dinner table, she didn't have read the industrial article before, what to wear back to the eighties to change the industrial history of Xia Guo, and use the time difference to lead Xia Guo Industrial Corner Overtaking, Xu Ruyi watched the blood boiling.

But it's your turn......

She's also a Ph.D., and she has a lot of big goals, so who would have thought that the first thing to do was to fill her stomach.

Even if the magazine is all sold, it can support a month or two, and it can't make a few cents for welding, and now the factory can't pay wages, so she has to find another source.

In recent years, professional newspapers and periodicals are still very down-to-earth, there are special readers' letter columns, if there are any technical questions can be raised, and readers who see newspapers and periodicals can write letters to answer, and they will also be published in newspapers and periodicals, and there are also manuscript fees.

In fact, this is still a derivation of the planned economy - Xia Guo from a poor and white to the establishment of a complete industrial system, the foundation is too weak, every time you encounter difficulties, you are working together, concentrating on solving them, which also forms an atmosphere, everyone is not hiding the technology, and even a little invention and creation, which can save time and effort, and must be shared.

Xu Ruyi's several magazines are all from this year, and they all have letters from readers asking questions, and she is going to write a reply to them.

As for whether someone has already replied, it doesn't matter, because she's going to write in more depth. For example, in the boiler newspaper in March this year, the boiler superheater overtemperature problem was published. The following reply also published the solution, but only answered the possibility of the problem, a total of three points, such as the distribution of heating surface and the improper selection of the boiler system structure.

But in fact, how to solve it did not give any answer, and Xu Ruyi was ready to elaborate on this problem.

Soon in the evening, I heard Xu Jixiang's voice from afar: "Sister, sister, we are back." ”

Xu Ruyi took a look at it and saw that the bags that went out at noon were now deflated, and they were all sold out.

But don't ask, Xu Jixiang is a little starling, and he said all the chatter: "Sister, we are at the gate of the factory, and many people come out after work, but there are few people who want to buy, I thought I couldn't sell it, but I didn't expect that after a while, Director Guo came out and saw these things, and they wanted them." ”

Xu Ruyi actually wanted to sell to a few technicians in the technical department, she remembered that there were a few people who liked to read books and newspapers, these professional magazines were not easy to buy, and they would definitely want to see it, but they didn't expect to be wrapped up by the factory director.

Director Guo She hadn't seen it, but she knew.

After Xu Jun's death, the family couldn't open the pot at all, and many people suggested that they be adopted separately, but the three of them were so old and couldn't be raised, who wanted it.

Guo Peisheng slapped the board, saying that he would be given 15 yuan a month for living expenses, and it was not until Xu Ruyi graduated from secondary school and returned to the factory to participate in the work, which solved their food problem.

Xu Ruyi asked: "How much did it cost?" ”

Xu Jixiang said proudly: "There are 52 books in total, 12 books for 1 yuan," one is this year's, "40 books for five cents." It's a total of 32 dollars. I said to charge less, but Director Guo was unwilling, saying that he really wanted it, not to take care of us, and he went back to get the money for me. Elder brother! ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Weimin, and Xu Weimin, who couldn't rob Xu Jixiang, showed her little tiger teeth, and when she took out her pocket, she really took out three big unity sheets, and two pieces of one dollar.

Before Wang Hongmei fell ill, the Xu family actually lived quite well.

Dual-income workers, two people add up to more than 60 yuan a month, although they are not rich and expensive, but it is still possible to raise three children.

But in the past five years, they have been really poor, and they have not seen so much money for a long time.

Xu Jixiang was happy and worried, and asked Xu Ruyi in a low voice: "Sister, can we take out a little bit and pay back the money." I want to eat steamed buns. ”

After three years of repayment, they still have more than 80 yuan of foreign debt.

Xu Ruyi looked at Xu Weimin, the steady boy thought for a while and said, "I also want to eat steamed buns, big steamed buns." ”

Xu Ruyi sighed, repaying debts is important, but people are even more important, they are all starving to death, what to give back to others, she directly took out two yuan, "There are meat tickets at home, buy two catties of meat, ten eggs, and the rest of the steamed buns, let's have a good meal." ”

The two children didn't dare to pick it up, looking at her in disbelief, Xu Ruyi directly stuffed it into Xu Weimin's hand, she saw it, and Xu Weimin took care of the accounts at home: "Don't worry, I already have a way to make money, and soon we will be able to pay off the debt, hurry up, wait for a while, let's not sell it for a while." ”

Is it really possible to eat meat?

Xu Weimin and Xu Jixiang's eyes lit up, they turned their heads and ran, and Xu Ruyi shouted: "Don't fall." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Weimin turned too quickly, and sat on the ground with a buttocks, and without waiting for Xu Ruyi to shout again, he had already gotten up and ran away.

All that remains is dust......

When they arrived, Xu Ruyi re-polished the manuscript and decided to buy stamps tomorrow and send them out.

After a short time, Xu Weimin and Xu Jixiang returned, Xu Jixiang had a fine pork belly and ten eggs in his hand, while Xu Weimin carried a small bag of flour in his arms.

Seeing Xu Ruyi looking at him, he smiled: "Sister, a pound of steamed bread costs two cents, a pound of flour is a dime and a seven, a pound of flour can produce a pound and a half of steamed bread, firewood, fire and water are all free of money, this is cost-effective." ”

Xu Ruyi couldn't help but say, "What time do you have to eat?" "It's getting dark now.

Xu Jixiang had already run to the kitchen: "Sister, we're fast." ”

Xu Ruyi didn't know how to cook, so she could only continue to conceive the manuscript and answer a question from a magazine, but fortunately, she made a trip halfway through, which stopped the two children from wanting to refine lard and fry shredded pork for a month.

"Just make braised pork, and then cook the eggs later, peel the shell and cut a few knives and put it in the soup of the braised pork."

Xu Jixiang was shocked: "Sister, how fragrant is that." ”

Xu Ruyi smiled: "You can taste it and you'll know." ”

Waiting for the dinner, it was already past nine o'clock, there was no TV this year, everyone went to bed early, Xu Ruyi stood in the window and looked out, in the dark night, there were only a few lights, and turned his head, in this simple but small hut, because of the steam of steamed buns, it was a little hazy, and Xu Jixiang's chirping voice, Xu Weimin smiled from time to time, which seemed particularly warm.

Xu Ruyi thought it would be good to do this.

Two catties of meat produced a plate full of braised pork, plus ten braised eggs, Xu Ruyi thought he could bear it, but maybe this body was too lacking in nutrition, or today's pork has no technology and ruthlessness, it is really fragrant.

As a result, six eggs went down, and the meat was left at the bottom of the plate, and all three people had eaten it.

Xu Jixiang couldn't help but say: "This is the day of the gods." ”

Xu Weimin held his stomach: "It's so happy." ”

Xu Ru promised them: "We will live like this every day in the future." ”

Early the next morning, Xu Ruyi took the registration card and graduation certificate to Liaoyuan Factory to report.

She also came during the Chinese New Year, but she didn't expect that it would change so much in just half a year - Liaoyuan Factory was a product of the five small industries advocated in the past, and the scale was not large.

The entrance is a two-story office building, and then the first and second workshops are on the left-hand side, and the third workshop is on the right-hand side, and the whole factory has a total of about 300 people.

Today, the iron fence is still the same iron fence, that is, in the small open space in front of the office building, there is an unassembled boiler seven or eight meters high, which is placed in the center.

An old man crouched there staring.

Probably because he looked at it too seriously, Xu Ruyi also looked at it seriously, and then couldn't help shaking his head, this is a horizontal water vertical steam boiler, the model is really old enough.

Obviously, it has been used for a while, but it has not been installed back after repair, and now the welds of the bare furnace are almost terraced, and they are very dense one by one.

It stands to reason that the boiler should leave an access port, and it can be cut into this way and welded up, which can only show that the original design did not leave the back door for itself, but the welding quality is not up to par, and it has been repaired many times.
