The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 113 Gambling

A heated debate also broke out in Qin Huairu's family. Today, Jia Zhang learned from other people that Qin Huairu had been transferred to a new workshop, and she was very dissatisfied.

"You are just a fool." Jia Zhang scolded: "You have broken off with Yi Zhonghai. Will he still subsidize our family in the future? I wonder what you will eat in the future."

"What do you know? If I learn from Yi Zhonghai, I will always be a first-class worker in my life." Qin Huairu said excitedly: "I can only get 27.5 yuan forever. If I go to the new workshop and find a good master, even if I get promoted by one or two levels, I can get a lot more money. What can Yi Zhonghai give us? At most, he can give us some corn flour."

"So can we survive now?"

Qin Huairu sighed: "At most I will suffer for one or two years, and there will be a subsidy of three yuan per month for going to the new workshop. As long as someone teaches me, I don't believe that I, Qin Huairu, will be worse than others."

Jia Zhang curled her lips, leaned against the pile of quilts and began to sulk alone, and Qin Huairu also fell into deep thought.

She gambled her innocence and followed Li Huaide's path to get herself transferred to the new workshop. Although the cost was quite high, she was full of confidence in her future life.

There is no other way. Sha Zhu is married. If Sha Zhu doesn't get married, she can control Sha Zhu by some means, and life will be much better. She won't have to work hard. Now Yi Zhonghai can only support some corn flour every month. If this goes on, how will the whole family survive?

Jia Zhang glanced at her daughter-in-law and felt a little unfamiliar with her. She had never worked hard in her life, so she took it for granted that her daughter-in-law should be the same as herself, a useless person.

I never expected that one day, my daughter-in-law would become so desperate that she would want to earn money through her own efforts. This is not what a woman should think.

The sentence that kept circling in Qin Huairu's mind was what Liu Hua had told her: people have to rely on themselves. She had been thinking about this sentence these days and finally figured it out.

She can't rely on her mother-in-law now. Yi Zhonghai is also trying to control her. The only person in the courtyard who could be controlled by her, Sha Zhu, is also married. So she has only one way left to rely on herself. If she still wants to rely on others at this time, then her family will really be desperate. It is all thanks to her good mother-in-law that the courtyard is in chaos and no one is willing to be on good terms with their family.

After Qin Huairu entered the new workshop, the workshop helped her find a female master worker because she was a newbie.

To be honest, this female master looked down on Qin Huairu. As everyone knows, Qin Huairu's charming appearance made some people of this era think she was a vixen.

Many women of that era looked down on such women, but since it was arranged by the workshop, the master did not refuse. After all, there were very few female masters in the entire workshop.

On the first day of apprenticeship, the female master said in advance: "Because I am a woman, I know very well what a female fitter can do. You must complete the tasks I assign to you without any compromise. If you cheat me, I will report to the director that I cannot take you as my apprentice."

Facing a master who was also a woman, Qin Huairu felt relaxed. She no longer had to pretend to be nice to Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu nodded: "I understand. Although I haven't learned any skills yet, I will definitely work hard."

Liu Hua and Wang Danian's recent research progress has been quite rapid. After all, he has purchased a full set of technology. If it is not rapid, it means that their brains are not very smart.

The two have already started to study programming languages. Liu Hua knows that PLC initially used ladder diagram programming and symbolic wiring to represent control logic. After more than a month of hard work, they finally successfully realized the function of PLC logic control. Liu Hua can't wait to apply this PLC to machine tools.

When Li Huaide learned that Liu Hua's research had yielded initial results and that he needed a machine tool, he generously allocated a 620% new C machine tool, as this machine tool was the largest in the factory.

Liu Hua has been studying this thing since July, and it is almost October now. Li Huaide has invested a lot of energy and materials.

The factory had managed to save some money through unplanned materials, and a quarter of it was invested. During the meeting, many leaders voted against the project, but Li Huaide insisted on supporting Liu Hua. Now that the results are finally to be seen, Li Huaide felt a little scared when he thought of this.

Although he has never engaged in scientific research, he has also inquired about related matters. Many scientific research projects lasted for several years from start to finish, and some projects started but never ended, and eventually came to nothing.

So this was a gamble for him. Ever since Li Huaide knew that Liu Hua had started to modify the C620 machine tool, he went to the experimental workshop three times a day just to know whether it would be successful at the first time.

As for the automation transformation of machine tools, Wang Danian was a layman and could only help out, but when he saw Liu Hua's skilled and calm look, he knew that this experiment was a success.

This year's National Day was extremely lively. Three hundred thousand people participated in the celebrations in the square, and foreign guests from more than 80 countries and regions also participated. It was an unprecedented event.

The factory was closed for the day and many people went to participate in activities, while Liu Hua and Wang Danian were in the experimental workshop, listening to the radio while busy with their work.

While Liu Hua was busy with his work, he joked with Wang Danian: "Is your radio factory mainly producing radios now?"

Wang Danian asked back: "Then the radio factory doesn't mainly produce radios, so why is it called a radio factory?"

“Why not make a tape recorder?”

Wang Danian shook his head: "This thing is very inconvenient, mainly because the magnetic wire is not easy to handle."

"Actually, this thing is very simple. Can't you use your imagination?" Liu Hua said with a smile, "You watch movie reels. Can't you just replace the magnetic wire with a movie reel?"

"Film reels rely on exposure." Wang Danian shook his head: "How can sound be exposed?"

"So you don't have divergent thinking." Liu Hua shook his head: "Isn't it magnetism that enables steel wires to record information? In reality, many materials rely on magnetism. Have you heard of the legend of the Forbidden City? On thundering and rainy days, the figures of palace maidens will appear on the walls of the Forbidden City."

Wang Danian nodded: "But the reason for that has not been studied clearly yet. Superstitious saying is that it is the soul."
