Chapter 594 You've got guts! (Seeking monthly votes)

"Families facing housing difficulties?"

Liu Haizhong asked in confusion, "You mean, Master Li who works in the boiler room in the backyard?"

That family was truly destitute.

Five children, the youngest of whom is only one year old!
There was another woman whose health was also poor due to frequent childbirths.

They were entirely supported by Mr. Li, who worked as a boiler operator at the steel rolling mill; their lives were truly miserable.

A family of seven lived in a room of about 20 square meters.

If we're talking about helping people, Mr. Li's family is the most deserving of our help.

Of course, the situation in the entire No. 95 courtyard was similar to that of Mr. Li's family, except that there were three families in slightly better condition.

In these families, only one parent works, and with many children, the pressure is immense.

Later generations will find it hard to understand why they were so eager to have children when they were already destitute. Isn't that just harming the children?

But in this era, such situations are quite common.

It's like someone who's unhappy with their own life and places their hopes on their child.

Don't they even consider whether their family's financial situation is enough to support their child's healthy growth and development?

Yi Zhonghai's expression froze, unsure how to respond.

"Could it be Old Wang from the front yard, or Old Wu from the middle yard?"

Liu Haizhong was not one to read between the lines. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai remained silent, he continued to point out the families in the courtyard who were the most impoverished.

"This is the Jia family from the Intermediate People's Court!"

Ignoring his embarrassment, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly spoke up.

If his bangs were to fall down any further, he really wouldn't be able to save face.

"Old Yi, you're not kidding, are you?!"

Now, it was Liu Haizhong's turn to be unsettled.

Her gaze toward Yi Zhonghai was full of reproach: "Don't even mention it, I will never agree to it!"

Fortunately, having been a leader for some time, there was no need to say anything harsh; the meaning was conveyed in passing.

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat embarrassed. Seeing Liu Haizhong's firm attitude, he did not continue to pester him, said goodbye, and left in a hurry.

"Has this old Yi lost his mind?"

During the meal, Liu Haizhong was still somewhat indignant and said irritably, "He's always so biased towards the Jia family. I don't know what he's thinking."

"Hehe, I guess he wants to take care of that youngest member of the Jia family in his old age!"

Liu Guangqi sneered, "This old man always seems a bit fake!"

"If he really wants to find someone to take care of him in his old age, he can adopt one or two children from an orphanage who are too young to remember anything. Surely he can afford to raise them with his salary?"

"First it was Jia Dongxu, and now it's Jia Banggeng. Is there no one else in the courtyard?"

"Hmph, we don't need to concern ourselves with this!"

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly, "But Lao Yi's arrival has reminded me that if possible, I should lend a hand to the Li family!"

After all, Liu Guangqi was already at work, so he couldn't just scold him all the time.

"That's exactly how it should be done!"

Liu Guangqi chimed in, "Otherwise, after we move out, who knows who will end up in the house we live in?"

In fact, none of the Liu family members had any goodwill towards the Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi was an absolute shrew; Liu Haizhong, his wife, and even their three children were all frequently scolded by her.

As for Jia Dongxu, whose name is already posted on the wall, let's not talk about him.

A young boy who only knows how to wander into other people's houses is clearly not a good one.

So when the Liu family happily moved out, and the neighborhood committee announced that the Liu family's previous house would be reassigned to the Li family, some people looked quite displeased. Especially Jia Zhangshi, who dared not target Liu Haizhong, who was now a cadre, while Yi Zhonghai was subjected to much sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.

These things had nothing to do with Liu Haizhong, who was now focused on making twenty mountain bikes.

After a long-distance test, the mountain bike he had made did not show any obvious faults and was considered to have passed the verification.

With the support of factory director Wu Zhi, the other senior executives of the repair shop, despite feeling that it was somewhat unreliable, still sent a report to the higher-level industrial department in the name of the repair shop.

"Hmm, the Gulou Repair Shop has developed a new multi-speed bicycle and wants to participate in the Tour de France hosted by France?"

The leaders of the higher-level industrial departments found the report quite novel.

Driven by curiosity, I went straight to the repair shop to see what the new type of bicycle was and to find out the repair shop's true purpose.

"This is the new type of bicycle your factory has produced?"

Upon seeing the mountain bikes, a leader from the higher-level industrial department asked curiously, "Is there anything special about them?"

"Compared to a regular bicycle, the only difference is this geared chainring!"

As the factory director and a former skilled worker, Wu Zhi naturally took the initiative to explain.

Fortunately, he has done his homework recently.

"It can be adjusted in a timely manner according to the terrain, making cycling easier and more convenient!"

Then, he had a comrade from the security department step forward and personally perform for the leaders of the industrial sector.

Then, everyone present saw the security officer riding his bicycle with ease through the complex terrain.

The most crucial test is constantly going uphill.

It's quite remarkable that they were able to maintain their speed.

The ease with which the rider navigated the terrain in the wild also attracted a lot of curious glances.

"This car is really nice!"

An industrial sector leader patted the vehicle frame and said, "If local government departments had vehicles like this, going to the countryside would be much easier!"

"Moreover, such vehicles can even increase marching speed in certain special environments!"

"I'm just not sure about the load-bearing capacity of this bicycle?"

"It can be specially made!"

Wu Zhi said awkwardly, "This bicycle was specially made for the competition!"

"You can tell there aren't even any back seats!"

The industry leader chuckled and asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​participating in the Tour de France?"

Although his tone was relaxed, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Boss, let's talk in the office. There are quite a few relevant newspapers there!"

"Oh, and there are related newspapers too. I'd like to take a look!"

The group arrived at the small conference room of the repair shop, where a staff member immediately handed them a stack of old newspapers with yellowed pages.

"Hmm, old newspapers?"

The industrial sector leaders were somewhat surprised, but under Wu Zhi's guidance, they saw the contents of the newspaper and couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

This is a newspaper published in the French Concession during the Republic of China era.

Above is an introduction to the Tour de France, and the content is quite detailed.

"You guys are really thoughtful!"

Actually, if he had asked a high-ranking leader who had studied in France, he would have known that the repair shop's idea was quite reasonable.

The Tour de France started in 1903 and has a history of more than half a century.

This event has become the top cycling event in France, bar none.
