That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 921 I heard you are the deputy factory director?
At six o'clock in the morning, Li Ye crawled out of bed half an hour early. Without turning on the light, he fumbled to put on his clothes and got out of bed.

The snow outside the window has stopped, and there are not enough snowplows these days. The small street in front of Li Ye’s door cannot be taken care of, so he has to clear the snow manually so as not to delay the travel of the surrounding neighbors.

In the mainland, if a pedestrian falls down in front of your house because of the slippery road, he won't hire a lawyer to sue you and make a fortune like in the Beacon Country, but he will still be scolded loudly for being a lazy bastard who gave birth to a son with no butt.

Li Ye has a son, how could he be scolded?

Although Li Ye didn't turn on the light, Wen Leyu still heard the noise and mumbled in a daze: "Hmm, has the snow stopped?"

Li Ye said: "I just leaned over the window and took a look. It should have stopped."

"Then I'll get up too!"

Wen Leyu got up sleepily and yawned twice in succession.

The couple stayed up a little late last night, so the young wife is still feeling sleepy now.

There is really no way to do this. Men's dopamine secretion has the characteristic of "stopping suddenly after ejaculation", so they will fall asleep soon after the pleasure, but girls' aftertaste is long, so they are prone to lack of sleep.

So Li Ye reached out and pushed Wen Leyu back: "Why did you get up? You stay in the room and look after the kids. I'll finish sweeping in a while."

But Wen Leyu shook her head and said, "Xiaojuan and mother-in-law will definitely get up to sweep the snow today. If I, a daughter-in-law, get lazy, won't people laugh at me?"

Seeing that Wen Leyu was so persistent, Li Ye had no way to stop her. If this young wife started to argue, she would be extremely stubborn.

Sure enough, before the couple had put on their winter suits, Han Chunmei had already started sweeping the yard with her two daughters, Li Juan and Li Ying.

Seeing Li Ye and Wen Leyu opening the door and coming out, little sister Li Ying hurriedly said, "Brother, you're up! Little Youan is about to wake up. Can you ask sister-in-law to help take care of him for a while?"

[Your sister is really smart. ]

"Yes, why not!"

Li Ye smiled and assigned Wen Leyu: "Go, hold Xiao Youan and Xiao Baoer together. If all three of them wake up and you are too busy to handle them, call us."

But Wen Leyu rolled his eyes at Li Ye and snatched his broom away: "Little Youan is closest to you! You should stay in the house and look after the child!"

"."

Wen Leyu knew that her whole family took care of her, but the more this happened, the less pampered she became.

I am Wen Leyu, and I can hold up half the sky.

However, Wen Leyu only swept a few times and grandma Wu Juying came out.

"Chunmei, you sweep the yard. Liye, you, Xiaojuan, and Xiaoying go out and sweep the snow. I'll come look after the kids. Xiaoyu, you go cook."

"Yeah, okay grandma."

Wen Leyu went down to the kitchen helplessly, but she had to gladly accept her grandmother's love, because the old lady's arrangement represented fairness within the family.

Li Ye went out with his two younger sisters and saw that the neighbors not far away had already started sweeping the snow, but it was that there were seventy or eighty people sweeping the area of ​​several dozen meters in front of their house, while there were only the three of them, the brother and sister, sweeping the area of ​​several dozen meters in front of their house.

[Having a big house also brings troubles! ] Who let Li Ye's family occupy a big yard? Other yards are occupied by seven or eight families, and they are crowded when they live there at ordinary times. At this time, everyone adds fuel to the fire.

Fortunately, Li Ye had someone make several snow shovels according to the drawings of later generations in advance. One of them had wheels, similar to a cart, which made shoveling snow more efficient. With the help of his two sisters' big brooms, they should be able to clear a path before dawn.

However, when Li Ye had just shoveled a little bit, Aunt Wang from the street and several street staff members arrived.

Public servants these days are still very conscious of serving the people, and this kind of bad weather is a good time to test them.

When Aunt Wang saw Li Ye's snow shovel, she was immediately surprised and said, "Comrade Li, your snow shovel is really good! We rushed over to help, but we didn't expect you to have almost finished shoveling!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Hey, we have a small family, so shouldn't we put some effort into the tools? We can't let the whole street lag behind."

"This is not a matter of effort, it is the ability of a smart person."

Sister Wang circled around Li Ye's snow shovel and cart twice, and said with a smile: "Comrade Li, the small hardware factory in our street has no production tasks now, can you give your new thing to them for research?
If the product sells well, you can ask them to give you some invention fee, and it will also help solve the difficulties of dozens of people, which is a win-win situation."

Li Ye said straightforwardly: "What patent fee? You can take it when you are done with it. I will ask someone to make another one."

"No, no, no, everyone is working on patent inventions now! If they succeed, I guarantee you will get some money."

"."

Aunt Wang's persistence surprised Li Ye.

In this country where counterfeiting is rampant, can something with little technological content really earn patent fees?

However, in the past two years, it seems that because of the legend of Westerners getting rich by relying on patents, the idea of ​​getting rich by relying on "invention patents" has become very popular in mainland China.

Li Ye remembered that in his previous life, there was a period when patents were all the rage. Many people could not wait to apply for patents as soon as they came up with an idea, and then waited for big bosses to come to their door with money in hand to buy them.

All kinds of small inventions such as sitting posture correctors and ping-pong ball pickers have been patented, but in the end, no one has become a millionaire by relying on their inventions.

They don’t even think about the fact that Tesla helped Edison earn $50,000, but Edison didn’t give him a penny of the profit. Can the Western legends be trusted?
If you want to turn a patent into wealth, you either have the capital or the technology is inaccessible to others without you.

That's why Li Ye generously gave the snow shovel cart to the street hardware factory for imitation. This thing does not require any technical content. As long as you look at it and think about it, you will understand it. It is better to do a favor.

"Comrade Xiao Li is just being timid. You guys should hurry up and show your strength! How can a grown man feel comfortable watching a little girl working so hard?"

"Auntie Wang, what are you saying? Are there still lazy people in our street? Take a break with those two girls, we will clean up for you in a moment."

Several street workers were chatting and laughing while swinging their brooms so hard that smoke was coming out of them. Each one was working harder than the other.

Li Juan and Li Ying have grown into two beautiful girls. How can a man lose face in front of these beautiful sisters?
Li Ye took a glance and then directed his two sisters to work around, making sure they could not develop the bad habit of dependence that the fairies of later generations had.

At this time, Aunt Wang suddenly asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Comrade Xiao Li, I talked to your grandmother the other day. I heard that you are the deputy director of the Beijing No. 2 Automobile in Haidian?"

Li Ye was a little surprised. Aunt Wang knew about Li Ye's situation in the Light Automobile Company. After all, they usually conducted surveys on people in the street every now and then. So today she suddenly asked about it. What was her intention?
