Siheyuan, don't mess with me

. . . . . . .

After they left, Chen Zhiguo opened the windows and doors to get rid of the smell of alcohol and cigarettes in the room!

"Why didn't they come to your house before? And didn't you have a conflict with Jia Dongxu before?" Chen Xueru asked curiously while looking at Chen Zhiguo who was reading a book.

"You said it was in the past. If he was still the same as before, I would still ignore him. Isn't it true that people change? If they become better, they are still good neighbors. Besides, without Yi Zhonghai, life forces Jia Dongxu to change. If he doesn't change, he will die!"

Chen Xueru was thoughtful, and Chen Zhiguo continued, "People will change. Changes in the environment and people will bring changes to themselves or others!

People often say "A red man becomes redder if he keeps company with a red man, a black man becomes blacker if he keeps company with a black man", which means that the kind of people you are with will influence you in a certain way, which will affect your behavior and choices. A person's cognitive level, vision and pattern are largely determined by the environment he is in! A person's behavior, choices and final achievements are often the result of the environment you are in! "

Chen Zhiguo rubbed the head of Jiang Xiaohua who was looking at him intently, and continued,

"Sometimes, people need to put themselves in extreme environments to hone their skills. Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you don't know how good you are! Just like Jia Dongxu, who lost Yi Zhonghai's protection and funding and fell into a quagmire, if he didn't work hard, how would his family survive!

Similarly, different environments create different people. If Yan Jiecheng continues to stay at home, he will be more and more deeply affected by Yan Bugui's calculations and stinginess. Over time, he will be the second Yan Bugui! Fortunately, he has awakened now and knows that he can only have hope if he leaves this family. Look at him now, you can see the vigor and the spirit of fighting and fighting in him. Isn't this the result of the environment changing!"

(Thank you for sharing your wonderful content and learning from and copying Mr. Xiangguo’s homework!)”

Jiang Xiaohua's eyes sparkled. Although she only understood half of what he said, it did not hinder her admiration for Chen Zhiguo at all. She snuggled directly into Chen Zhiguo's arms, and Chen Xueru, who was standing beside him, slapped him twice in anger.

"Okay, stop being clingy. It's already late. Hurry up and get some water to wash your feet. Go to bed early!"

Jiang Xiaohua giggled and ran to get some water. Chen Zhiguo said leisurely, "If grandma hadn't taken her in, she wouldn't know how she would survive with the child alone! Look how happy she is now!"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's because you spoil her. Who else can provide her with such a good environment except you?"

Chen Zhiguo chuckled a few times and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he gently hugged Chen Xueru and said, "How could life be so beautiful without you!"

Chen Xueru smiled, as beautiful as a blooming flower, and kissed Chen Zhiguo on the face. "If I didn't have you, I would be like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the current, and I don't know when I would wither or rot! How could I be as happy as I am now! It's great to meet you!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

Jia Dongxu took Yan Jiecheng's matter to heart and contacted his coworkers in the workshop as soon as he got to work. Fortunately, he contacted them early and booked the house in time, otherwise it would have been rented out by someone else!

After work, Jia Dongxu took Yan Jiecheng and his coworkers to look at the house! The room is not big. It is in a courtyard not far from No. 95. It is an ear room in the backyard. It is no problem for two people to live in it. The furniture inside has been moved away. The room is empty. This is good. Otherwise, Yan Jiecheng doesn’t know whether to use the furniture or not. He doesn’t dislike it, but he is worried whether Liu Meihua will dislike it. Now he doesn’t have to worry about it! There is also a simple kitchen at the door. It is not very big, but it can also shelter from wind and rain. Yan Jiecheng took a look and felt very satisfied. He immediately paid for it!

Just when the two were leaving, they heard someone coming to inquire about the house for rent. Yan Jiecheng felt really lucky, because if he was any later, the house would be gone!

A few days later, when Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng were having lunch in the cafeteria at noon and discussing how to clean up the room, Liu Guangqi also got involved. By the evening, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and Chen Zhiguo all knew about it, and they all joined in to help Yan Jiecheng clean up the room!

Liu Guangqi took out the leftover paint and brushes from the house renovation, and several men brought their own tools. After get off work, Chen Zhiguo drove the car and brought this group of people to help Yan Jiecheng with the work, preparing to tidy up the room again so that Yan Jiecheng and his wife could be reunited as soon as possible!

Yan Jiecheng felt bad and wanted to go buy some food for dinner, but was stopped by Chen Zhiguo.

"It's so late, where can you buy food? Don't bother! We treat you as our brother, there's no need to be so particular, we don't lack food, it's too polite of you to do this, you don't treat us as brothers! You should save the money to buy something for the room, after all, it's a wedding, and making the room better is also a respect for the girl! We still have some old furniture left over from the past, go pick it out if you need it! I'll drive the car and bring it back for you!"

Yan Jiecheng, a grown man, was so moved that he almost cried. When he was at home, he had never been taken care of like this. It was all about money and calculations, but he had never felt such friendship!

He Yuzhu next to him said with a smile, "You are already a grown man! You will soon be married, you can't still act like a child, it's embarrassing! Men, you have never known what it feels like to cry since you were young!"

Xu Damao replied, "You were so stupid at that time, of course you didn't know how to cry!"

"Silly Mao! I haven't beaten you up in a few days, so your nasty bones must be itching again!" He Yuzhu chased Xu Damao and was about to beat him, but Xu Damao circled around several people and flirted with them from time to time!

The jokes between the men diluted the sadness in Yan Jiecheng's heart! This may be the change brought by Chen Zhiguo. No matter who you are with, your thoughts and behaviors will change!

Chapter 293 Tea for cigarettes!

What happened in the courtyard is just the spice of Chen Zhiguo's life. His current focus is still on the two experiments of dephosphorization and desulfurization!

After getting roughly appropriate experimental data, Chen Zhiguo prepared to enter the factory to start the second phase of the experiment! The data obtained from small laboratory experiments needs to be verified on factory equipment. This is not a simple matter of proportionally expanding the experimental data. The change in quantity will cause a large deviation in the chemical reaction, and it is necessary to conduct experiments and adjustments on site again and again!

"Teacher, this is the experimental data of the first phase!" In Li Guoqiang's office, Chen Zhiguo handed the latest experimental data to Li Guoqiang!

"You completed this experiment quite quickly!" Li Guoqiang exclaimed.

Chen Zhiguo thought, if I wasn't afraid of it being too shocking, I would have just come up with the formula. Why would I need to do any experiments? I have already figured out the general direction and the approximate ratio of additives. It has taken me more than a month, and I really don't want to waste any more time!

"What a coincidence! The experiment I conducted yielded a suitable mixing ratio!" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile.

"Then which factory are you going to conduct your experiment this time? The directors of three steel rolling mills have all come here and are keeping an eye on you!" Li Guoqiang nodded. He was annoyed by the directors of the three steel rolling mills. They did not dare to look for Chen Zhiguo for fear of disturbing his experiment, so they went to harass Li Guoqiang specifically, which annoyed him a lot!

"I want to put it in Red Star! It's closer to my home!"

"You kid, this is a strong enough reason. If Lao Jiang and Lao Hu knew about it, they would definitely say that they would send a car to pick you up every day!" Li Guoqiang said with a smile.

"This is the truth, and I have many acquaintances at Red Star, so it's convenient to work with them!" After all, Chen Zhiguo had worked at Red Star for a period of time. He was the director of the seventh and eighth workshops. There were not many people in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill who didn't know Chen Zhiguo. Even if there were some who didn't know him, most of them were apprentices who had just entered the factory!

"Okay, as long as you decide! But I still suggest you let the minister decide! Otherwise, Jiang and Hu will definitely make a scene!"

Li Guoqiang decided which factory to conduct the second phase of the experiment in, of course, it was up to Chen Zhiguo. After all, Chen Zhiguo was responsible for everything, and he was just a teacher in name only! However, Lao Jiang and Lao Hu were not given away for nothing, so he must fight for such a good opportunity. Instead of letting them bother him, he might as well let them quarrel in front of the minister!

He picked up a pen and signed Chen Zhiguo's application report. "Why, do you want to ask the minister to sign it, or should I?"

"Teacher, go ahead!" Chen Zhiguo chose to be lazy.

"You kid, go back and rest for two days. Once the minister agrees, you can go into the factory for the experiment!"

"Okay! Thank you, teacher!" Chen Zhiguo turned around and left without staying for even a minute!

But just as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "I almost forgot, teacher, this is the spring tea I brought for you, which has just been picked!" Chen Zhiguo took out a paper bag wrapped in kraft paper from his briefcase and handed it to Li Guoqiang!

"It's only half a pound, no more, it took a lot of effort to get it, take it easy, don't just drink it up for anyone who comes!" Chen Zhiguo reminded.

"Am I that stupid? Get lost!" Li Guoqiang took the paper bag with a smile and cursed! Everyone in the company knew that Li Guoqiang had good tea. No matter who came, they all wanted to have a cup. Over time, the whole system, and everyone who knew Li Guoqiang knew that he had a good apprentice who often brought good tea to his master!

In fact, Chen Zhiguo also understood Li Guoqiang's psychology. With such a good apprentice, he must show off and publicize his achievements. That would be too discouraging. Publicizing this would reveal the extraordinaryness of his apprentice from the small details!

Tea is relatively hard to get. It is difficult for ordinary people to buy it. At most, they can get some high-foam tea, which can be used to make a large teacup and drink for a whole day! Like them, they can still get tea according to their level, but there is a fixed amount, not much! Only here, Li Guoqiang will treat you with good tea whenever you come! This is very amazing. He advertised that it was a gift from his apprentice, and many people were wondering what kind of background Chen Zhiguo had to get so much good tea!

There is no other reason. Chen Zhiguo has already built a tea farm in his space. He has obtained the seedlings of several major domestic teas and cultivated them himself. In this way, he can drink good tea every day. Moreover, the tea produced in the space must be of higher quality than the tea sold outside. Even the tea supplied internally cannot catch up with the quality of his tea, and the taste is several levels worse!

Chen Zhiguo had no choice but to do this. At first, he didn't drink tea, but his grandfather and Chen Dayong both drank tea. Chen Zhiguo spent a lot of time to get some tea. Later, he dug a few wild tea trees on the mountain, put them in the space, and carefully cultivated them for a period of time. The tea he picked tasted very fragrant! This gave him the idea of ​​planting it himself. The Ministry of Industry has business trips all over the country every month. Please ask them to buy a few tea seedlings locally. This kind of small thing is still very easy to do. Over time, the variety of tea trees in Chen Zhiguo's space has increased, and the tea that can be drunk has naturally increased!

Of course, Chen Zhiguo's collection of tea seedlings and his good tea are two different things. People don't think that the tea trees planted by Chen Zhiguo himself produce tea. It usually takes three or four years for a tea seedling to grow to be able to produce. Moreover, the distribution of tea trees is mainly dominated by natural environments such as rainfall, temperature, altitude, wind and sunlight. They can be cultivated from 40 degrees north latitude to 30 degrees south latitude! There are very few high-quality tea trees in the north! Therefore, Chen Zhiguo's collection of tea trees is just a hobby of his. His having good tea has nothing to do with collecting tea trees!

"Here!" Li Guoqiang took out a cloth bag from his desk, "I'm not drinking your tea for nothing!"

"Teacher, what's the good stuff?"

"Why don't you just read it yourself?" Li Guoqiang kept it a secret.

After Chen Zhiguo took it and opened it, he saw four cartons of whole cigarettes in white packaging and more than a dozen packs of loose cigarettes! "Teacher, where did you get so many cigarettes?"

"Do you think the tea here is so easy to get? If you want to drink tea, you have to bring something here to exchange!" Li Guoqiang also said arrogantly, "I was just baiting you before. Now you think it tastes good. Don't even think about getting it for free!"

Chen Zhiguo gave Li Guoqiang a thumbs up and said, "Teacher, I'm leaving now. I'm out of tea. Please let me know!"

"Row!"

Chen Zhiguo returned to the office and threw two packs of cigarettes to Lao Shen and Wang Qiang!

"Take a rest for two days and wait for notification. We will be busy for a while!"

Hearing that they could take a break, everyone in the office cheered. Jiang Yuehua looked at the bag in Chen Zhiguo's hand and asked curiously, "Where did it come from? So many cigarettes, special supply!"

Chen Zhiguo said calmly, "I exchanged tea leaves with the teacher! Why?"

"What kind of good tea is so expensive? Bring some here and I'll exchange it for some cigarettes for you!" Jiang Yuehua mainly wanted to have an excuse to get a few cartons of cigarettes for Chen Zhiguo. If the tea was really good, you could exchange it for a few cartons at any store in the compound!

"Half a pound for one!"

"What kind of tea is this? Half a pound for one tea! Is there really such delicious tea?" Jiang Yuehua screamed, with a look of disbelief!

"I know you don't believe it. I'll give you some first. Go home and try it. If it tastes good, we'll tell you later!" Chen Zhiguo remembered his teacher's method and set the bait first!

"Okay! But you have to give me more, otherwise there won't be enough. I know a lot of grandfathers in the compound!" Jiang Yuehua pulled Chen Zhiguo's arm!

"Row!"

Chen Zhiguo gave each of them a can, weighing about two taels. He made the tea can using the bamboo in the space. You could smell the fragrance when you held it in your hand. Of course, everyone in the office got one, and no one was left out!

At night, Jiang Qiangjun returned home after a busy day. He ate a few bites of food and felt too tired to eat anymore. He lay down on the sofa to rest.

"Dad, have some tea!" Jiang Yuehua brought over a cup of hot tea.

"Girl, are you okay today? You don't have any pocket money again!" Jiang Qiangjun saw Jiang Yuehua was so attentive and thought she had something to ask him!

"What can I do for you? The experiment is over and I have two days off. You can rest during these two days!" Jiang Yuehua was lying on the sofa, looking lazy. Her mother Yu Qingxuan frowned and said, "You are already a grown-up girl. Can you behave yourself?"

"Oh! We are at home, there are no outsiders, relax a little, it's okay!" Jiang Qiangjun interrupted quickly.

"Humph! You are such a grown-up, and you still have no time to protect her!" Yu Qingxuan said dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe!" Jiang Qiangjun smiled awkwardly. He couldn't speak at this time, otherwise the criticism might be directed at him. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Hey! Girl, your tea is good. It's delicious! Good!"

"My friend gave it to me!" Jiang Yuehua replied nonchalantly.

"Not bad, not bad!" Jiang Qiangjun held the teacup and sipped the tea carefully!

The next day, Jiang Qiangjun found that he had a rare good night's sleep and felt full of energy after waking up. In the past, he overworked his brain every day and had difficulty falling asleep every day. His sleep quality was very poor. This led to a vicious cycle of high-intensity work, low-quality sleep, and lack of mental recovery!

Jiang Qiangjun thought about it and realized that nothing special happened last night, except that he drank the tea made by his daughter!

So, "Girl, do you still have the tea from yesterday?" Jiang Yuehua, who was awakened, yawned with sleepy eyes, "Yes, but not much. I still have to sell it today."

"What are you selling?" Jiang Qiangjun asked curiously.

“Tea leaves!”

"You want to sell tea?"

"It's not a sale, it's an exchange. Half a pound of tea for two special supply bags!" Jiang Yuehua added directly.

"Ah! This is too outrageous!"

"Love doesn't change!"

"Girl, how about you give me some first and then I'll try it?" Jiang Qiangjun begged.

"Okay! I'll just give you some. I don't have much here," Jiang Yuehua took out some, and for the rest, she planned to visit the grandparents in the compound today!

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuehua and Jiang Yuechen sisters met in the courtyard. "How is it?" Jiang Yuehua asked Jiang Yuechen who was also holding a tea can.

"I went to several stores. They all tried the tea and said it was good, but they didn't want to change!" Jiang Yuechen looked depressed.

"I'm telling you, don't be anxious! They will get anxious someday!" Jiang Yuehua was very calm. "I made a cup for my dad last night, and he told me this morning that he had a good sleep last night! This means that this tea is very good and has a calming effect! Just wait patiently!"

"Okay then, I'll go home and make a cup for my mom too. She has severe insomnia!"

"Then go quickly. I think they will definitely beg me in the next few days!" Jiang Yuehua said confidently, "I'll go home and talk to Huihui to see how she is doing!"

"Okay, I'll go back first!"
