The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 547 A Great Start! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In the past, for such a major event, stepmother Zhang Li would definitely have made the decision and strongly opposed it.

There's simply no comparison between a level-five fitter at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and a factory run by the local street office.

But right now, she has no say in her own home.

The clear handprint on her face shattered all her confidence.

Without a doubt, the slap mark on the stepmother's face was definitely not from her own father.

When the stepmother saw the lavish meal of three dishes and a soup, she only looked displeased, but said nothing.

Hmm, I ate quite a lot, easily showing off three large bowls.

During her evening rest, she occasionally heard her whispering questions to her younger sister, Wu Aihong.

Wu Aiguo wouldn't care about that.

In the following days, things remained the same.

However, he found a safe place to store the small wooden box with the mechanism that he got from Beihai Park.

Among them, the formulas for replenishing qi and blood, after being personally verified by Wu Aiguo, are all effective and good products.

In his previous life, he practiced martial arts to a high level and naturally learned traditional Chinese medicine.

With the help of a "golden touch," his expertise in traditional Chinese medicine is quite remarkable.

While he may not be worthy of the title of national champion, he certainly possesses the skills of a renowned doctor.

Wu Aiguo suspected that the owner of the small wooden box was also a martial artist, otherwise why would the five prescriptions inside be so compatible with martial arts cultivation?
Formulas for replenishing qi and blood are relatively easy to find, but formulas specifically for strengthening bones and organs are quite rare.

Perfect timing! Wu Aiguo can use all five prescriptions!
Zhang Li, on the other hand, felt something was quite strange.

Upon returning, he was not met with ridicule or mockery.

It was only obvious that her relationship with her two sons and youngest daughter had become distant.

What she found most unacceptable was that Wu Aiguo had taken over the responsibility of cooking.

Why do you eat so well every day? Don't you want to spend money?
In the morning, there's egg drop soup with steamed buns and mantou (steamed bread); at noon and in the evening, there's a mix of meat and vegetables. The daily food cost is at least over one yuan!
If she hadn't had reservations, she would have already started making a scene.

Of course, she didn't deny that Wu Aiguo was a very good cook, and she didn't know where he learned it.

But on this day, she heard news that struck her like a bolt from the blue, making her unable to sit still any longer.

"Old Wu, you've been transferred out of the steel rolling mill?"

During dinner, she asked in a trembling voice.

"He's already been transferred; he's going to be the factory manager of the new factory under the local government!"

Wu Zhi seems to be in good spirits, and his execution ability is still quite good.

The transfer was completed in just a few days.

Of course, it is also possible that it is the result of joint efforts by Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and the Subdistrict Office, as both of them are very eager.

Blah!

She dropped the bowl and chopsticks on the table, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Wu Zhi: "How could you do this? Don't you care about your future?!"

"You don't need to meddle in my affairs!"

Wu Zhi, unusually assertive, left Zhang Li speechless.

At this moment, he was filled with pride. Director Chen of the street had already guaranteed that as long as the factory was established and operating smoothly, his quasi-cadre status would be implemented.

If you achieve even a little success, you'll be promoted to a cadre position.

In fact, during his job transfer process, he had already figured out how to use the old machines provided by the steel rolling mill to manufacture manual coal generators. Just as Wu Aiguo said, this thing has a bright future!
Whether it was the stepmother who told them or not, all the workers in the tenement came over to find out what was going on after they finished eating.

"It's nothing, I think working at the factory run by the neighborhood committee is also a good option!"

"I'm the factory manager from the start, I don't need to put up with anyone's nonsense!"

Wu Zhi was touched by his coworkers' concern, but showed no sign of regret.

Besides, things have come to this point, it's too late to regret it now.

"Aren't you afraid of ruining your father by inciting him like this?"

The stepmother found a quiet moment when no one was around and stopped Wu Aiguo to question him.

"Heh, do you think my dad could still stay at the steel mill after what happened?"

Wu Aiguo was not angry; he simply stated the facts calmly.

But this caused the stepmother to break down, and tears flowed like a burst dam. I wonder if she regretted it at all?
Wu Aiguo turned and left. He had recently been adding some ingredients from medicinal recipes to his cooking, and the results were quite good.

He could clearly feel that his body felt warm after eating, and his blood and energy were slowly increasing at a perceptible rate.

Putting everything else aside, Wu Aiguo's body became as if it had been inflated, becoming strong and powerful, and even his height increased significantly.

1.75 meters is already quite tall, and there's still room for growth.

The recent changes in the brothers Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun, as well as their younger sister Wu Aihong, are all so obvious.

That day, Wu Aiguo followed his father, Wu Zhi, to the newly opened Gulou Repair Shop on the street, which was a group of connected houses at the entrance of the alley.

Ahem, we've incorporated the bicycle repair shop that's not far away into our business.

I imagine the father got scolded quite a bit in private.

If you read a few more period novels, you'll know the ins and outs of bicycle repair shops—they can be quite profitable.

They acquire usable parts from discarded bicycles through various channels, then assemble them into secondhand bikes for sale. Selling one bike a quarter isn't a small amount of money.

Without further ado, when the Gulou Repair Shop opened, Director Chen from the Subdistrict Office personally came to offer his congratulations and delivered a warm speech.

To put it simply, we hope the repair shop can operate normally and recruit more local children.

At Wu Aiguo's suggestion, or rather, his suggestion, Wu Zhi, the temporary factory director, did not hesitate and, using the old machine tools sent by the steel rolling mill, made a manual coal generator right in front of Director Chen.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Director Chen and others, they used a newly made manual coal briquette maker to produce hundreds of moist honeycomb briquettes in the backyard.

To satisfy Director Chen and his delegation, Wu Aiguo personally took charge, becoming a human-shaped machine for making honeycomb briquettes.

That's right, he's the one operating the manual coal briquetting machine.

This thing may seem simple, but it's extremely physically demanding. Not everyone can produce hundreds of still-damp honeycomb briquettes in one go.

The reason he worked so hard was simply to give Director Chen and his team a visual shock.

In fact, Director Chen was indeed shocked, and then filled with surprise.

It should be noted that while the coal supply in the capital was not tight at the time, the supply of finished coal briquettes and honeycomb briquettes was very insufficient.

To get honeycomb briquettes, you had to buy them from a coal shop with special coal coupons, which was quite inconvenient.

However, if the newly opened repair shop can produce honeycomb briquettes, then sales will definitely be no problem, and even Director Chen will benefit.

Everyone knows that honeycomb briquettes are useful, but what can you do about it?
"Good, good, Director Wu, you've done a great job! The street office has taken care of all these honeycomb briquettes!"
