At the turn of the spring and summer of 1982, a big thing happened to the first eldest son of the Intermediate Hospital. The eldest mother had a heart attack and fell into a coma. She was sent to the hospital overnight, but she died before arriving at the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai locked himself at home for three days. Thanks to Qin Huairu, he went to deliver meals every day. Otherwise, he didn't know what would happen.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui also came to enlighten me.

Time passed day by day, and with the graduation of the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the steel rolling mill finally had an opportunity to absorb fresh blood of high technology.

For this reason, Wang Zhong went to Factory Director Liu to explain the pros and cons. Fortunately, Factory Director Liu also knew the pros and cons and wanted to run the steel rolling mill wholeheartedly. He readily agreed to Wang Zhong's proposal.

The spring breeze of reform and opening up has gradually spread in coastal areas. As the capital of a country, Peiping is naturally more cautious about this change.

Unlike the range hood project led by Wang Zhong, it has achieved excellent results in Xiangjiang, Wanwan and even most of Southeast Asia, bringing a lot of foreign exchange to the country.

The range hoods produced in the factory were sold, and the finances were naturally more comfortable. This time, Wang Zhong did not need to take people to Shenzhen. The Hong Kong and foreign businessmen spontaneously found the steel rolling mill and made reservations.

The batch after batch of range hoods came in, which made Director Liu extremely happy. He waved his hand and prepared to expand the production line of range hoods.

He also made a special trip to call Wang Zhong to the office and praised him mercilessly.

"Director, let's not be too optimistic!" Wang Zhongdao said: "Our range hoods have just started. Those foreign manufacturers have been doing it for decades. Compared with others, what we can do now is not as good as others.

That’s the price.”

Wang Zhong knew very well that with the current production conditions of the steel rolling mill, the range hoods produced were not bad, but they were not better than those of foreign brands.

"We have to continue to produce range hoods, but what we have to do is not just produce range hoods, but also find ways to improve them and create better range hoods."

Factory Director Liu was no idiot. Hearing this, he couldn't help but nod his head in agreement and said, "You are an expert in this field. What do you think?"

Wang Zhongdao: "The range hood is expensive or not, but it is not cheap either. If it is placed in other places, let's not talk about far away, let's just say Xiangjiang. It is a must-have for almost every household, but it can be used in China.

There are only a very small number of people who use range hoods."

Director Liu said: "That's right, not to mention the vast countryside, but also in the city, even in Peking, most people can only maintain the food and clothing of the family."

Wang Zhongdao: "So we have to seize the needs of our target group and improve our range hoods according to their needs."

"Do you have an idea?" Director Liu's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly.

Wang Zhongdao: "I have a few immature ideas."

"Tell me about it!" Director Liu asked hurriedly.

Wang Zhongdao: "The first is price, the second is power, and the third is energy saving."

Director Liu said, "I know the price. The power should refer to the suction power of our range hood, right?"

Wang Zhongdao: "That's right."

"What about energy saving?" Director Liu asked doubtfully.

Wang Zhongdao: "The so-called 'energy saving', as the name suggests, means saving energy consumption. The energy source of the range hood is electricity, and energy saving means reducing power consumption."

Director Liu said with deep approval: "That's right! Diligence and frugality are our traditional virtues, and we can't lose them!"

Wang Zhong smiled hoarsely and said: "However, judging from our current technology, energy saving is not very realistic. What we can achieve is nothing more than price and power."

The range hoods of these days basically have two fans and an electrical box, and they are not very attractive.

"I don't understand technical matters!" Director Liu waved his hand and said, "Just take full responsibility for it!"

Factory Director Liu's delegation of power is the best news for Wang Zhong.

The range hood project is progressing rapidly, and the research and development of the second-generation new range hood has come to an end, but the progress on the agricultural machinery side is much slower.

There are many reasons. The cost of an agricultural machine is much higher than that of a range hood, and the technical content is also far higher. Just an engine has to rely on imports.

Although steel rolling mills are currently working hard to develop engines, no amount of money is enough to do research and development, especially for such a gold-swallowing behemoth as an engine.

The steel rolling mill was able to start the research and development of the engine, thanks to the cooperation with those Hong Kong businessmen on the range hood project, which gave the factory some spare money. Otherwise, Director Liu would not be able to start the engine research and development even if he wanted to run the steel rolling mill.

All he could do was stare.

It's just that the steel rolling mill is a state-owned unit after all. Many things still need to be done with procedures and processes, which are not as fast as those of private enterprises. This is also a common problem of all state-owned enterprises.

Time passed day by day, and after being busy, Wang Zhong spent the rest of his time teaching his children.

Wang Xinyi is talented, has a strong memory, and is very interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Xiao Wang Zhong used medical skills and medicinal books to enlighten her. This girl has always had a dream of an angel in white.

After skipping several grades, this girl is now a high school student and will take the college entrance examination in two years.

Wang Heng was still young, but he escaped.

As for the Jia family, after that incident, Wang Zhong really stopped interacting with the Jia family. Even when he met Qin Huairu on weekdays, he only said hello briefly.

Other people in the courtyard also have their own circumstances.

Because of the immoral things he had done in the past few years, Xu Damao was found out and settled in the future. He was directly assigned from a movie theater to a ticket checker at the door. As for the extra money, he was naturally gone.

Ran Qiuye's family was also vindicated, and their houses and part of their property were returned one after another. Ran Qiuye's elder brother and younger brother also returned to Peiping, taking Ran's father and mother out of the courtyard and back to the Ran family's ancestral home.

But Mr. Ran couldn't stand the ups and downs, so he rehabilitated Zhao Xue. Not long after he took home the baby, he fell ill and died in bed only for a week. Ran's mother was so sad that she also fell ill.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, Ran’s mother survived in the end, and it was nothing serious.

The deaf old lady's house in the backyard was also vacant. Silly Zhu immediately drove the eldest son and the second son to live in the backyard. The attic of the east room became the bedroom of the younger son alone.

After getting off work that day, Wang Zhong pushed his bicycle and just walked out of the gate of the steel rolling mill. Not far away, he saw He Yuyu standing on the roadside.

"Brother Wang Zhong!"

"Rain? Why are you here?"

"Waiting for you here!" He Yuyu said directly.

"Wait for me?" Wang Zhong turned over and got off the car, holding on to the bicycle and asked: "Is something wrong?"

He Yuyu said: "You must be hungry. Let's find a restaurant and talk while eating. I'll treat you!"

Wang Zhong didn't think much about it: "That's okay."

"Let's go to the He Family Restaurant in the east. It's quiet there." He Yuyu suggested, and Wang Zhong didn't object.

When he arrived at the restaurant, He Yuyu ordered three dishes and one soup, ordered two bottles of Niulanshan, and poured a full cup for Wang Zhong himself.

"Brother Wang Zhong, let's have a drink first!"

"Continued Cup·····"

After drinking five cups in a row, the two of them drank nearly half a catty in total. He Yuyu's pretty face also had a few wisps of red, and he was already a bit drunk. He looked at Wang Zhong with hazy eyes and said: "Brother Wang Zhong.

, I went on a blind date yesterday."

Wang Zhong nodded and said, "It's a good thing. What happened?"

He Yuyu laughed at himself: "Actually, that guy is pretty good. He is thirty years old and not bad looking. He is a native of Peiping and works as a deputy section chief in a food factory."

"A thirty-year-old deputy section chief, on the same level as you, is a good match!" Wang Zhong said.

He Yuyu stared at Wang Zhong and said: "He is very good, but I don't know why, when I met him, you were all in my mind."

Wang Zhong lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said, "Yu Yu, I'm married and have two children."

"I know!" He Yuyu said: "I know you are married, and I also know you have two children, but I just like you. I have liked you for more than ten years. Over the years, my brother, my sister-in-law, they

They tried their best to spread the word and introduce me to people, but I just couldn’t like any of them!"

With tears in his eyes, He Yuyu asked a little aggrievedly: "It was obviously me who met you first, and I was the one who chased you first. Why did you choose Qin Jingru, whom you had just known for less than a month?"

Wang Zhong sighed, shook his head slightly and said, "We already talked about this issue back then."

Two lines of hot tears fell from He Yuyu's eyes, "But I regret it!"

"Time flies by. What happened in the past is a foregone conclusion and can no longer be changed. What's more, not everything will go as expected in decades of life."

Wang Zhong talked about chicken soup with He Yuyu.

However, He Yuyu still looked at Wang Zhong with tears in his eyes and burst into tears: "I regret it! I really regret it."

Wang Zhongdao: "Silly girl, people live a long life. The so-called love is just a small episode in a person's long life. Family, friendship, dreams... there are many, many beautiful things like these in the world."

He Yuyu didn't seem to hear her. She cried and lay down on the table, covering her face as if she didn't want Wang Zhong to see her embarrassed side.

Fortunately, the place He Yuyu picked was quiet, there were no people around, and there wasn't much incident.

After a while, He Yuyu came to his senses. Fei took Wang Zhong for another drink and asked, "If I had listened to you and chosen to resign, would you have married me?"

Wang Zhongdao: "There are no ifs in this world."

He Yuyu looked at Wang Zhong without moving his eyes, his eyes full of humility and pleading: "But I want to know the answer!"

Wang Zhong said: "I don't know, maybe it will!"

He Yuyu picked up the wine glass again, but was stopped by Wang Zhong: "You have already drank a lot, don't drink anymore."

He Yuyu said: "Do you care about me?"

Wang Zhong nodded and said: "I have always regarded you as my sister. As a brother, of course you must care about your sister."

He Yuyu said: "But I don't want to be your sister."

"What's the use of talking about this now!" Wang Zhong looked at He Yuyu and shook his head helplessly.

"If you don't let me drink, then I won't drink!" He Yuyu put down his glass.
