The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 73 Start of Construction

Yi Zhonghai felt that this was a blow to himself. Sha Zhu was not close to him, so how could he carry out his future plans and how could he provide for himself in his retirement.

At seven o'clock that evening, Sha Zhu's family came back happily carrying large and small bags. From their expressions, it was clear that their visit to their relatives was very successful.

Yi Zhonghai had been feeling uneasy in the yard for the whole day. When he saw Sha Zhu coming back, he immediately put on a smiling face and greeted Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, are you back from visiting relatives?"

When Sha Zhu saw Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the yard, the smile on his face immediately fell. Not only Sha Zhu, but also Han Yufeng and He Yushui all looked unhappy.

But Han Yufeng pulled Sha Zhu, and after Sha Zhu reacted, he glared at Yi Zhonghai fiercely, then walked into the house without looking back.

Liu Hua is reading at home. He has to go to work tomorrow. Everything is good now, but this holiday is really unsatisfactory.

Sha Zhu knocked on the door and walked in without waiting for Liu Hua to agree.

"Did you find your dad?"

Sha Zhu nodded: "My dad ran to Baoding, it turned out that someone was behind his back. Although he didn't know who it was, it seems that it was most likely Yi Zhonghai."

"How did you know? It's been so many years. Can you still find evidence?"

Sha Zhu shook his head: "I can't find it, but my father has been sending living expenses to my sister for so many years, but I haven't received it."

"What does this mean?"

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "My dad told me about sending living expenses. Only Yi Zhonghai knew about it. It's very likely that he cheated me."

"I can't just say this casually. You can't wrongly accuse someone. It can be a big or small thing. If you're not careful, you could get shot."

Sha Zhu nodded: "So I plan to go to the post office tomorrow to ask."

"Talk it over with your wife and sister." Liu Hua advised, "You have a bad temper and get easily carried away. You might be wrong when you lose your temper."

"understood."

At the beginning of the new year, Li Huaide put on a show. On his first day at work, he waited at the factory gate early and greeted and wished a happy new year to every worker who entered the factory. This directly changed everyone's impression of him.

Especially when he saw Liu Hua, Li Huaide smiled even more happily. His father-in-law, who used to be rude to him, praised him many times in front of the whole family during the Chinese New Year this year.

Li Huaide married his wife because he was marrying up, which made him feel depressed psychologically. This made him feel inferior to his wife in daily life, so his life was not very harmonious, which led to Li Huaide's love of looking for wild flowers outside.

But during this year's Chinese New Year, his father-in-law praised Li Huaide many times, making him feel like he had stood up. Once he stood up mentally, he also stood up physically.

The couple's life was getting smoother and smoother, so after standing at the gate for so long today, Li Huaide felt relaxed and his back straightened. "Hua Zi, come to my office after lunch. I have something to talk to you about."

It was the first day of work in the new year. It was impossible not to be busy. I spent a long time in the office fishing. Everyone tacitly brought peanuts, melon seeds and candies.

Liu Hua brought White Rabbit chocolates and chocolate with liquor filling, as well as a lot of large pine nuts. These were not exchanged, but given to them by Han Yufeng, a relative from his hometown in the northeast who brought them these.

The chocolate with liquor filling received unanimous praise, but everyone only ate one or two at most. It would be bad if others smelled the smell of liquor on my mouth on the first day of work on New Year's Day.

The food in the cafeteria is still the same, but there is a tofu today. Shazhu spent a lot of money on it. It has minced meat and lard, so it tastes pretty good.

In Li Huaide's office, this guy personally made a cup of good tea for Liu Hua, which was said to be given from his father-in-law.

But Liu Hua didn't believe this. A son stealing from his father doesn't count as a thief, but the son-in-law doesn't have the courage to do so, especially since he is basically a son-in-law who marries into the family. Even if Li Huaide had three more guts, he wouldn't dare to take his father-in-law's things.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Liu Hua said to Li Huaide with a smile, "We are family. If there are things that cannot be said, don't hide them."

"You did a good job in the last few months of last year." Li Huaide gave a thumbs up and said, "Can you keep up the good work this year? Whether the steel mill can achieve good results depends on you."

"Collective wisdom." Liu Hua hastily declined: "You are flattering me. You can't talk nonsense at this critical moment."

"You also said that we are family. What can't we say to each other? I have also realized that it is harder than climbing to the sky to expect other technicians to research a new thing for me."

Liu Hua took a sip of the tea and it tasted really good, much better than the one in Old Liu's study. It was possible that this tea really came from the study of Li Huaide's father-in-law.

"You should just take a break." Liu Hua shook his head. "There's a saying that goes, if the embankment is higher than the shore, the waves will destroy it. You've made so many achievements this year, and your leaders do think highly of you. But think about what other people think. It makes you, Li Huaide, seem capable, and the others are trash."

Li Huaide immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He was a smart man. If he offended all his colleagues, his situation would be worrying. No matter how much merit he had made, he could not fight against four hands with two fists.

What's more, my butt is not very clean to begin with, so it's not difficult to find fault with me, especially if it comes to issues involving men and women, I'm afraid my father-in-law won't protect me.

Li Huaide sat behind his desk, tapping his fingers on the table. After a while, he said, "Then I will stay quiet for a while and fix the steel mill. It will not be noticeable, and it will also be a credit."

Li Huaide made up his mind that for the next period of time he would work hard on his internal skills and manage his own piece of land well. If his foundation was impenetrable, he would not be afraid of the night rain from all directions.

Liu Hua finally got a break and from now on he could go to get off work and come home on time every day and make some free time for himself. What a wonderful life these days would be.

But he and Li Huaide both forgot one thing. Before the Chinese New Year, Li Huaide reported two things. One was about a car. This matter was so big that it was directly requisitioned.

The other was the matter of modifying machine tools. A large visiting group was organized at the time, but both of them thought the matter was over.

Less than two days after the new year started, Li Huaide received a notice from above. In order to improve productivity, the department organized a training class. Heavy industrial enterprises from all over the country would send people to participate in the training to learn how to transform the C620 machine tool. The teacher of the training class was Liu Hua.
