The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 13 Sprinkling
"No way, you're in such a miserable situation, but you only have one set of cotton clothes." Liu Hua said in surprise: "You don't even have a change of clothes."

"Aren't cotton tickets hard to come by?" Sha Zhu said defensively, "How can you make a cotton jacket without cotton?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk." Liu Hua shook his head. "You're just making excuses. You're a chef who often cooks outside. Who would believe me if you told me that you couldn't find the cotton coupons?"

"I'm not going to lie to you."

"You just don't care." Liu Hua shook his head: "You don't care about the family life at all. I heard that you used to drink a lot of wine every day?"

"Isn't that just because you are young and ignorant?"

"You don't understand anything now."

This can be regarded as a tip for Sha Zhu. The water in this yard is a bit muddy and it is hard to tell who is a human or a ghost. Liu Hua will not assume that all of them are bad people just because it is written that way in the novel, nor will he assume that they have no tricks just because they are polite to him now. It depends on how these people perform in the future.

Monday is another working day, but many jobs nowadays are different from those in the future. At least there won’t be so much inward-looking competition and messy intrigue.

Shu Xin in this class had a rest after that. Today was the first day of the week, so he had to eat something good. So he went to the street to eat a bowl of fried liver with two buns.

When he arrived at the office, Liu Hua was as diligent as ever. He swept the floor, wiped the table, and fetched water. When everything was almost ready, other people in the office had also arrived.

"Hey, Huazi, you came so early again today." Zhang Xiaoli said with a smile, "No need, you will soon be promoted to a regular employee, and we will take turns to do the cleaning work from now on."

Liu Hua said modestly: "It's my duty. Even if I'm a regular employee, I'm still a new employee. I don't have any skills. Can't I work harder?"

Liu Hua suddenly felt something was wrong: "No, Sister Zhang, how did you know I'm going to be a regular employee soon?"

Zhang Xiaoli said with a smile: "Do you think this office is airtight? My husband works in the Labor and Personnel Department. How could I not know about the regularization? But I didn't expect that you have someone behind you."

"How can there be anyone?" Liu Hua laughed and said, "It's all just a rumor."

"You are very cautious." Zhang Xiaoli nodded: "It's a good thing you did. Unlike some people who are too timid and brag about their background, such people don't live long."

Ma Yushan also came to the office and said to Liu Hua with satisfaction: "After half a year of study, you should have fewer theoretical problems. From today on, you will officially follow me to the workshop, and I will teach you the skills that a technician should have."

"Then I thank you very much, Master."

"Well, this is a good name for a master." Ma Yushan was very satisfied: "From now on, you are my apprentice."

Boom! The door of their office was pushed open with great force and slammed directly against the wall.

"Ge Lao Pao." Ma Yushan shouted angrily, "You came to our office and started a fire. You broke our door. Are you responsible for repairing it?"

Ge Laopao, the head of the transportation department, looked around and finally stared at Liu Hua: "Yes, it's you, kid. Your name is Liu Hua, right? I've given you one day. Have you come up with a solution?"

Ma Yushan stood in front of Liu Hua and said, "Liu Hua is a newcomer in our office. He will be my apprentice in the future. You can't bully him." "Who dares to bully him? We need his help. Last Saturday, he said he had a way to prevent the brakes of our trucks from failing when going down a long slope. I'm so anxious. There will be another long downhill job in two days. That will be a near miss. How can I not be anxious?"

Ma Yushan looked at Liu Hua and asked, "Did you agree to their request?"

Liu Hua nodded, and Ma Yushan sighed, "We've known about this for a long time, and there's been nothing we can do about it. You're being too reckless. Besides, this isn't your job, so why are you agreeing to it? It doesn't matter if it works out, but if it doesn't, it won't help your future."

"I was thinking, isn't this truck also part of our steel mill's equipment? If so, it should also be under the jurisdiction of our office."

Ge Dapao laughed: "So, our Transportation Department is still under your control?"

Ma Yushan said unyieldingly, "I don't manage your transportation department, but my apprentice is right. Your trucks are under our management."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you. Since it's up to you, then think of a good way to make sure I'm happy every time I go out and safe when I come back."

Ma Yushan really loved his apprentice. He looked at Liu Hua and asked, "If you have any good ideas, please tell me. I will help you with some advice, Master."

"How about we take a look at it live?"

So the three of them came to the parking lot of the Transportation Department, found a large truck and lay down. Liu Hua pointed at the brake and said, "This is the spot. If it overheats, it won't be able to stop."

Ge Lao Pao asked bitterly: "We know that too. The key is what method you use to prevent it from overheating."

"In the past, during wars, heavy machine guns would also overheat. The designers provided two methods, one for air cooling and the other for water cooling." Liu Hua said with a smile, "We can also use this method on our cars. I have no idea about air cooling, but water cooling is easy."

Ma Yushan asked with great interest: "Water cooling? What do you think?"

"Let's add a water tank to the truck," Liu Hua said with a smile. "Connect it to the top of the brake with a pipe. Once the brake is applied, we can just spray water on it to lower the temperature, right?"

"How do we control it?" Ge Dapao shook his head. "We can't spray water as soon as we brake on flat ground. What will we do if there is no water when we brake in the mountains?"

"You, Ge Lao Pao, are unwilling to use your brain at all."

Section Chief Ge said as a matter of course: "You said it yourself. The equipment of the steel mill is under your control. Why should I think about it? I just need to supervise you to get this done."

"Now that we know how to use water to cool it down, the rest is easy. Isn't it just a device that controls the water spraying? If it doesn't work, I can connect a wire directly to the cab like a bicycle brake. When driving on flat ground, don't move. When you get to the mountainous area, you can hang the wire on the brake. Isn't that the problem?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Be alert when you drive, and don't forget to use it."

"How could we forget this thing? It's a life-saving device." Section Chief Ge said with a smile, "I'll give you two days. Is that enough? There's a mission the day after tomorrow. We need seven or eight vehicles, and there's a long downhill in the middle."

Ma Yushan smiled and said, "Just put your mind at ease."
