Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 168 Internal Development of Electric Locomotives

The meal was quick and everyone sat down after finishing the meal.

Li Xiuzhu said: "Brand and Han Kun's younger brother Han Qing came to the house today."

"They said they wanted to ask Mei Ying to help develop electric locomotives, but I didn't agree at the first time."

"Because our family won't be able to have too much money in the next few years, and electric locomotives are a project that will continue to send money to our family. If the model is decided and the case is filed, then our family will definitely be targeted by someone with intentions."

"At that time, I won't be able to receive the money, and I may have to run away, or something else may happen."

In fact, it may not be necessary to run away. He is now a British and Hong Kong citizen. If he can establish friendly and cooperative relations with China before France, according to the French privileges, he should not be implicated.

And you can definitely live in the British Embassy by then.

It's just that his character collapsed by then, so he definitely didn't want to live in the British Embassy until the last moment.

"But if you don't care about anything, those two stupid young men will definitely not be happy, and they may even react with the superiors."

Chang Hankun knew his younger brother best, and he had been a neighbor of Jin Canlan for more than three years, so he naturally knew what kind of person Jin Canlan was.

Chen Xueru was good at calculating people's hearts, but not particularly good at strategy, so she looked at Jiang Meiying, who had only taken the lead once.

"Mei Ying, what do you think?"

Jiang Meiying was no longer silent after hearing this, and said: "I can help. Electric locomotives will only be finalized at a speed far exceeding that of current diesel locomotives, but I can control the speed."

"In addition, we can already sense from the broadcast that there is a problem with the Sino-Soviet alliance."

"We can use this to decline the development of electric locomotives. They should understand why we don't make wedding dresses for others."

Chen Xueru relaxed her frown, looked at Jiang Meiying and said with a smile: "Oh, my eldest baby still has a way."

"What other comments does anyone else have?"

Zhou Xue heard the words and said: "I think we should make two preparations. Although the public-private partnership will expire in another four years, it is already difficult for me to intervene in the factory."

"Except for foreign trade and quality, I was basically excluded from all other decisions in the factory."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will go to Hong Kong Island for two years in advance."

Letters of introduction can restrict domestic people, but not foreigners.

"Okay, that's it, Han Kun, you can call Han Qing tomorrow."

Jiang Meiying heard this and said: "Let them stay in the yard over there. I won't go to the motorcycle factory. I will only help answer some academic questions."

"I think it will help him improve as long as I don't think it will exceed the speed of a diesel locomotive too much."

Chang Hankun nodded after hearing this, and then went to make a call.

Early the next morning, Chang Hanqing and Jin Canlan, who were overly excited, arrived at the courtyard again. Li Xiuzhu also came with Chang Hankun, Jiang Meiying and Wang Fengxia.

Chen Xueru still has to go to work in a silk store, and she may not be able to do without the silk store for a long time in the future.

"Oh, what a rare visitor."

"Long time no see, Brother Li, your wife is here in the yard."

The last time I came here was when Qin Huairu gave birth to Li Yunfeng and held a full moon banquet.

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "She is a homebody and doesn't like to go out. Isn't that why my brother-in-law encountered some academic difficulties while studying electric locomotives recently?"

"My family, Mei Ying, is very knowledgeable, so I asked her to come to my house."

Yan Bugui nodded and said with a smile: "I know this. I saw someone coming in just now, so I asked about it."

"Okay, I won't delay you, brother. I'm going fishing."

"Okay, brother, walk slowly."

Seeing Jiang Meiying again, Chang Hanqing was still a little dazed. Even though he was wearing a veil and could only see less than half of her face, he was still amazed.

It's not that he has never seen beauties, and he has seen many from all over the world.

He first went to school in the beautiful country, and later went to France, Britain and Soviet Russia. He also saw Jin's brilliant beauty, but no one could compare with Jiang Meiying.

Chang Hankun looked at his unsatisfied brother, frowned, slapped Chang Hanqing on the back of the head, and said angrily: "Your sister Mei Ying is asking you something, why are you so stupid."

"Ah? What are you asking?"

Li Xiuzhu looked at Jiang Meiying jokingly, his eyes seeming to say that his wife is still charming.

There was helplessness in Jiang Meiying's eyes, and she obviously understood Li Xiuzhu's eyes.

Beauty and charm are double-edged swords. While people like them, they can also bring disaster.

"Your sister Mei Ying asked you what difficulties you have."

Chang Hanqing composed himself and said, "It's a plan to deflect the magnetic field through the ignition tube."

Hearing this, Jiang Meiying stretched out her hand and said, "Show me how far your research has gone."

The gentle voice was like a spring breeze, and it almost made Chang Hanqing lose his mind again.

However, Chang Hanqing was not a person who was greedy for beauty, so he quickly came to his senses, took out his notebook and drawings and said: "This is our research plan, but we have reached a deadlock at this point."

"Sister Meiying, help me."

Jiang Meiying nodded when she heard this and said calmly: "I'll take a look first."

The room fell into silence for a while, except for the sound of Jiang Meiying looking at the drawings and flipping through her diary.

Chang Hankun quietly poured a cup of tea for several people.

Jiang Meiying suddenly raised her head and looked around. Li Xiuzhu stepped forward and handed over a pen tacitly.

Seeing the pen in front of her, Jiang Meiying looked at Li Xiuzhu's eyebrows, which were as charming as the crescent moon.

You can imagine that the corners of her mouth must be curled up under the veil.

Jiang Meiying said nothing. She took the pen and began to write on the drawing. After she finished writing, she said: "The idea of ​​deflecting the magnetic field of the ignition tube is a good one, but according to the current national conditions, you may not be very good at it." accomplish."

"Sometimes manpower is exhausted. You may be able to reach this level in terms of algorithms, but the algorithm requires accuracy every time. Only machines can do that."

"Maybe before the speed was 100 kilometers per hour, you could rely on people and experience to make up for it, but after the speed is 100 kilometers per hour, you can only rely on machines. But now, machines that can calculate the speed after 100 kilometers per hour do not exist."

"But I do know that the beautiful country already has computing machines. If technology develops quickly, maybe within ten years, your motorcycle will be able to make a breakthrough."

"I think your future research direction can be considered to develop inward."

Chang Hanqing was startled when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "Developing inward?"

Jiang Meiying nodded and explained: "Although the Soviet Union is helping us build motorcycles now, they are outsiders after all, and many things need to be imported."

"Your brother-in-law said that you need to use hundreds of thousands of imported materials every year. Not only is this a large number, but it is also a restriction."

"It's like you're climbing out of the door, your head comes out, but your body is stuck."

"If someone helps you, you can still eat and drink, but if the person who helped you leaves, you will starve to death sooner or later."

Chang Hanqing understood what he said, not only him, but also several others.

Chang Hanqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Thank you, sister, I know what to do." "Sister, brother-in-law, I'll go back first."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu said, "Let's go after eating. It's already noon. If you go back hungry, those who don't know may think that your brother-in-law is abusing you."

"And even if you are not hungry, you still have to consider the splendor of my family."

Jin Canlan's face turned red when he heard this, but he didn't refuse.

……

The research direction of electric locomotives has changed. From the initial desire to increase speed, it has become a development direction that can be built domestically.

Although this research speed is slow, it lays a solid foundation for a long-term future of electric locomotives.

Time passed and Chang Hankun also gave birth to a boy.

All the women in the family now feel a little guilty about themselves. They have four children but they still don’t have both children in the family. It’s really not right.

Especially seeing that my man likes girls so much, his desire to have a son has already changed unconsciously.

However, Li Xiuzhu didn't change much. He didn't want to give birth to a daughter. If Huang Mao kidnapped her in the future, his heart would be broken into pieces.

It's better to have a son, since the bride price can't be afforded anyway.

The three big items plus thirty-fifty are the most, plus the house is only one thousand eight hundred yuan, and marrying one hundred thousand daughters-in-law is just a drop in the bucket.

The fourth son was named Li Fusheng.

If he had been born into another family before the disaster, he would definitely have been unlucky, but his family was different. This little guy was lucky.

Li Xiuzhu went abroad half a month after Chang Hankun gave birth to his child. After leaving for a month and a half, it was almost the New Year when he came back.

Mainly, in addition to transporting materials, I also went to see the industries on Hong Kong Island during the New Year holiday.

This year's profit has exceeded 30 million, and the upper class in Hong Kong all know Li Xiuzhu.

Although Lei Luo was given nine million, the money was not in vain. Hong Kong Island was in chaos, but his properties were peaceful.

So many wealthy people are willing to stay in his hotels. Although the rents in the shopping malls he opened are high, the supply of rental spaces exceeds the demand.

Even the Coke beverage factory is where everyone wants to enter. There is no other reason. The workers will have low-rent housing, and they can stay safe for a little money. The security is comparable to that of wealthy areas. In the chaotic Hong Kong Island, who can Don’t love it yet.

The New Year's Eve dinner is still a big reunion in the courtyard. Nowadays, the New Year's Eve dinner in the courtyard is a must-attend for every family.

No one is stupid, it’s cheap and lively.

But this year may be the last New Year’s Eve dinner in recent years.

Although a lot of food was wasted this year, there is still some food left.

During Li Xiuzhu's return, he took advantage of the fact that there was still plenty of food and cleared all the tables owed to everyone.

Otherwise, even though we won't be able to afford it in a disaster year, it will be difficult to explain clearly. If this is speculation, it will be accurate once and for all.

The new year has passed, and the first disaster year has come.

The summer of 59 was extremely hot. Except for a light rain in the spring, it has not rained until now.

Coupled with the decision to focus on industry and neglect agriculture, and to catch up with the United States and surpass Britain, there was a food shortage.

There is a saying that freezing three feet is not as cold as one day. When he got up early in the morning, Qin Huairu said with an embarrassed face: "Brother, you may not be able to eat the fried dough sticks you wanted to eat yesterday."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there not enough food?"

In the past, it was a public-private partnership, and small vendors were also partners. As long as they had tickets, they could eat fried dough sticks and drink soy milk. But today, it suddenly disappeared, which meant that there was a problem with the food. With his foresight, he had the answer.

Sure enough, Qin Huairu nodded and said: "This year has been dry for several months, and this year's harvest is 100% unstable, so we have begun to reduce the supply of food stamps."

"In the past, a non-working urban population could receive five kilograms of fine grain stamps and ten kilograms of coarse grain coupons. Now there are only two kilograms of fine grain and ten kilograms of coarse grain stamps left."

Li Xiuzhu sighed, this is just the beginning.

In the future, even one steamed bun will make people bleed.

"Okay, it's not a big problem."

“I’ve had a lot of food at home lately, and we’re not allowed to cook meat every day here.”

"Just fry the meat once every three days."

Qin Huairu was startled when he heard this, and immediately said anxiously: "No, brother, our family has no supplies anymore? Brother, you can't eat without meat."

This is true. Li Xiuzhu loves to eat meat by nature. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is not happy without meat. It is really difficult for him to not let him eat meat.

Li Xiuzhu laughed when he heard this and said, "So I ask you to cook it once every three days. Once it's done, braise it and let it cool. You can eat it as a cold dish."

"Now everyone is starting to live a hard life. We are living so well. Someone will definitely report us for speculating."

Well, it turns out that's the case, she thought her family was also in trouble.

"By the way, let Jianwei and Jianye start eating Erhe noodles from now on."

Qin Huairu became even more numb after hearing this.

"Brother, isn't this good? The child is still young and needs nutrition now."

Not only did Qin Huairu think so, but Wang Fengxia and Chang Hankun on the side also thought so.

Chang Hankun said: "Brother, our family is not without conditions for eating noodles, so we don't need to be so careful."

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "A child has no control over what he says. How do you know he won't say the wrong thing?"

"So, be careful."

"From now on, let's eat half an hour earlier and eat the meat first, but don't eat too much. When the children come back, we can eat less with them."

After hearing this, the three of them felt numb, and they felt like they were eating secretly without telling their son. The feeling of being a bad parent suddenly came out.

But several people also knew that Li Xiuzhu was thinking about this family. Although they felt awkward and uncomfortable, they still nodded in agreement.

Due to poor decision-making, food shortages have resulted. Food purchases have been restricted and food stamps have been reduced. Smart people have become nervous.

However, there are very few smart people like this. Even Yan Bugui didn't notice the big problem.

He has notified Li Xiuzhu's wife's natal family and basically prepared food supplies.

Even the Qin family should be able to barely resist for three years.

When Li Xiuzhu came back that day, he saw Yan Bugui's sad face and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Brother Yan lost his money?"

Yan Bugui frowned when he heard this and said: "There are more people fishing now, and because there is no rain, the water level is also shallow. I fished all day today and didn't catch a single hair. I'm afraid it will be even harder to fish in the future."

That's not true. Next year at most, there won't be many fish left in the fish pond.

Li Xiuzhu thought for a while and said kindly: "Brother Yan, there will be less fish from now on. Just keep the fish you catch for yourself and stop thinking about taking out."

"Besides, I think this year is relatively dry. Why don't you consider collecting some food stamps and stocking up on food?"
