1968, early spring.
Yan Bugui always sighs when he comes to eat these days.
After dinner that afternoon, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui were drinking tea.
Yan Jiecheng saw the old man like this and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what's wrong with you these days? You look so sad."
Yan Bugui sighed and said, "It's not the old Liu family who is making trouble."
"What happened to the second uncle's house?" Yan Jiecheng was a little curious.
"They are not just two little ones, but now they have established an organization in the courtyard. They bully the neighbors or deal with Lao Liu all day long."
Yan Jiecheng thought about it and had an idea.
The two boys must have seen the limelight. In addition to escaping from the second uncle, they also wanted to get ahead.
"Dad, as long as they don't provoke us, we can't control others."
"Oh, it's such a mess all day long, it makes me upset."
Yan Jiecheng didn't pay much attention to the affairs in the Siheyuan. He knew that there were only minor quarrels and nothing would happen.
"Dad, how is your school?"
Yan Bugui sighed: "Classes have been suspended for a long time, and many teachers have been dragged to sweep the streets.
There is a female teacher in our elementary school who is two years younger than you. She teaches seriously, but she was still suspended from class. "
Yan Jiecheng thought to himself, could this be the blind date of Silly Zhu?
Seeing that Yan Jiecheng had not been to the courtyard for a long time, Yan Bugui continued to talk about other people in the courtyard.
Qin Huairu introduced her cousin to Sha Zhu, but Xu Damao ruined it.
Yan Jiecheng was still a little surprised. He didn't see Xu Damao inviting him to the wedding.
It turns out that Xu Damao didn't cut off his beard this time. He was just unhappy with Sha Zhu and ruined Sha Zhu's blind date.
And Teacher Ran, there was nothing wrong with the third uncle this time, but he also gave Si Zhu a lot of eye drops.
Coupled with the fact that Xu Damao was causing trouble, it was still the same as before, and the two of them blew it.
In the courtyard, the most lively place is the second uncle’s house.
Both father and son are dedicated to pursuing career advancement, and they have done a lot of unscrupulous things these days.
In this life, because Lou Xiao'e's family ran away in advance, there was no drama about these people ransacking their homes.
Of course, without the Lou family, there are still the Zhang family and the Wang family. Anyway, there shouldn’t be too many black people these days.
Any one you find is a credit to these people.
After saying this, Yan Bugui asked curiously: "Boss, why are you always on business trips recently?"
Yan Jiecheng was helpless after hearing this.
During this time, there were still big problems with the railway system below.
The management is very chaotic, which leads to constant accidents.
Therefore, he is often sent out to investigate accidents.
Although it was hard work, through these things, he learned more about the details of railway operations in these years.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Dad, there are a lot of things going on recently, so I go out more frequently."
I definitely can’t say the real reason, but the basic principle of confidentiality must still be in place.
At the beginning of the year, Lao Chang was summoned again. Chang's mother also moved out.
Lao Chang now works as an assistant at the Government Affairs Council, doing fire-fighting work all day long.
A group of people work hard to keep the country running.
Therefore, work is much busier than before.
In addition, I have worked a lot of time in the past, so I have aged a lot.
It's just that I have a job now and my mental state is still good.
Yan Jiecheng saw that the storm was finally not so intense during this period.
It also puts me at ease a lot.
Concentrate on living your life behind closed doors.
During this period of time, people in the work unit were constantly thinking about the past and present, and the food they cooked was simply not for people to eat.
Fortunately, they live in a separate hospital and can improve their food at home.
Now, their combined salary is more than 260.
Nothing to eat.
Yan Bugui and his wife are busy looking for a partner for Yan Jiefang these days.
This guy is already nineteen this year, and it's time to find a partner.
This guy is quite impressive and is now the foreman on the construction site.
The monthly salary is 47, which is considered a high income for ordinary people.
Therefore, the old couple feels that their second son now has a house and a job, and earns as much money as the young couple.
When looking for a daughter-in-law, my standards have become much higher.
At first, the two of them liked Yu Haitang, the broadcaster at the steel rolling mill, but they disliked Yan Jiefang for being a fool.
Yan Jiecheng was secretly glad that he didn't take a fancy to it, otherwise there would be trouble in the future.
That girl Yan Jiecheng remembered that she was not a trouble-free person.
If they really want to enter their Yan family's home, they will probably be busy.
The old couple went back and forth to choose, and finally selected a girl named Xue Jiawen who sold tickets at the train station.
Yan Jiefang and the girl looked at the mung beans and took a good look at them.
It didn’t take long for them to start flirting with each other.
In March, Yan Jiecheng ushered in personnel transfers. Because the main structure of the subway project has been completed, the rest is some decoration and debugging.
Therefore, as the chief designer, he is of little use.
Therefore, he was dismissed from the position of chief designer.
Then he was appointed deputy director of the Ministry's Rolling Stock Administration, and of course there was a parenthesis to preside over the work.
Of course, Yan Jiecheng refused at first.
After all, how could he go to someone else's machine maintenance department as a person who does wiring and engineering work?
I told Director Mu Yi repeatedly that I really didn’t understand rolling stock.
However, Deputy Director Mu Yi only said one sentence.
"I heard that Comrade Yan has a strong learning ability and some photographic memory."
Yan Jiecheng was helpless after hearing this. I had no choice but to agree.
I thought to myself, after all, he was asked to serve as the chief, not to do research on his own.
What are you afraid of?
After all, I know the future development direction of rolling stock, and if I set a good general direction for them, I believe they will still achieve good results.
The Ministry's Rolling Stock Administration has been in a semi-disbanded state since 1966.
Therefore, he is not entrusting an important task with despicableness.
After Yan Jiecheng took office, he found that the work was really complicated.
Fortunately, people in later generations have said that although work is complicated, the key point is one thread.
The bureau has only one important job, and that is to develop rolling stock.
Yan Jiecheng sorted out the current motorcycles.
The main force is of course the steam locomotive.
Don’t dislike the fact that technology is old, but it’s just because it’s old that it appears stable.
Steam locomotive No. 006, which was just retired this year, has a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Of course, this is why the sun never sets on those who modify and imitate.
Today, the main force on all trunk lines is still National Day.
There is still a big gap in technology, and the construction speed is only 70 kilometers per hour.
There is no way to compare it with other people's products from 20 years ago.
I am really behind a lot, and it seems that I will be busy in the future.
This motorcycle was born in September 1950 and was a precious gift for the first National Day after the founding of the country.
This continuation is of course very precious.
At that time, after the founding of the country, the country faced complex domestic and international situations, and the economy was in dire straits and was waiting to be revitalized.
There is an urgent need for the railway to provide locomotives that can pull multiple pulls and run fast as soon as possible. The National Day steam locomotive was born under this special historical condition.
Soon after this locomotive went online, it joined the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression, aid Korea, and defend the country.
Transporting war supplies to and from the front line made a huge contribution to the victory in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
There is also the progressive steam locomotive No. 0001, successfully developed in 1956, with a structural speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
After six years of hard work, the speed has improved a little.
Of course, its power has been improved a lot.
It is the steam locomotive with the highest output and the largest traction power among domestic steam locomotives.
It is an important member of the national locomotive family and can be said to have witnessed the development of national railway traction power.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the bureau's files. After reading the steam engines, he looked at the electric locomotives.
After all, he knew that the future belonged to the era of electric locomotives.
The 6Y1 electric locomotive, the main passenger and freight locomotive for main railway lines, was developed in 1958 and has a design speed of 90 kilometers per hour.
In 1966, major technical transformation was carried out on the 6Y1 electric locomotive.
The original squib rectifier is replaced by a semiconductor rectifier.
This year, this locomotive was officially named Shaoshan Type 1 locomotive.
It can be said to be the first generation of electric locomotives independently developed and manufactured in my country.
Yan Jiecheng heard that this car has been put into use on the Baocheng Railway.
He knew that this locomotive would become the representative of main line passenger and freight electric locomotives in our country in the next twenty years.
Of course, the Beijing Metro also uses this kind of locomotive, which was Yan Jiecheng's original decision.
Yan Jiecheng searched for a lot of information and finally found it.
Dongfeng Type 4 diesel locomotive.
There is no need to run away, this should be the focus of his next work.
Because Yan Jiecheng knew that this motorcycle would have a resounding name in later generations: green motorcycle!
It carries the memories of several generations.
According to the bureau's archives, in 1966 the ministry asked the Bincheng Factory to develop it.
The ministry paid great attention to it at the time, but unfortunately it was delayed for two years.
Yan Jiecheng felt that his work started with this green car.
Yan Jiecheng felt that we should unite with the First Machinery Department and Bafang Factory to engage in a big battle.
Build a motorcycle that will last for decades.
It took more than a month to straighten out the work of the bureau.
Through various game compromises, Yan Jiecheng finally invited back the experts who were sweeping the road in the bureau.
Then we rushed to Bincheng non-stop in mid-May.
He wants to do research, go to work stations, and go to solve problems on the spot.
Bincheng Locomotive Factory is also an old factory. It was an image project during the Westernization Movement.
The factory has a machining workshop, a locomotive workshop, and a power workshop.
The equipment is very diverse, including Yingjiang crane, small press, lathe, and some Mao Xiong equipment.
All in all it's a hodgepodge.
Yan Jiecheng felt dizzy as he listened to the factory director's proud introduction to these equipments.
How big is the tolerance when this thing is produced?
But he also knows that industrial production is like this these days.
What tolerance?
No one cares at all!
It's good to have some usefulness, how can you ask for so much.
Yan Jiecheng believed that the atmosphere in the factory was good, and the activities did not waste too much production time.
It’s not just the factory director who has deep admiration for him.
Most people really can't stand this pressure.
Yan Jiecheng stayed for two months and then came back.
The main problem affecting R&D now is not the factory’s problems, but the inability to keep up with the materials.
Without breakthroughs in materials, no matter how good the design is, it will be useless.
The designers and engineers in these factories are repeatedly trying to use existing materials to make excellent equipment.
There are indeed many difficulties, and industrial problems are not solved overnight. Yan Jiecheng couldn't do anything else, so he could only find ways to improve the supply of these people.
Let them eat better and work more.
In early August, Yan Jiecheng returned to the ministry and went to see Deputy Director Mu Yi.
Improving the treatment of these people requires the approval of the Ministry's Military Control Committee, which is not something that he, a small director, can do.
Mu Yi also had a headache after hearing the development progress.
After hearing Yan Jiecheng's request, he didn't confirm it.
He just said that he would try his best.
Yan Jiecheng also knew that the situation was complicated and Mu Yi did not have the final say on these matters alone.
Without waiting much, he said goodbye and left.
Since August, society has become more and more stable.
Those activities were no longer as violent as they were at the beginning, and most of the young people were cleared out of the power structures one by one.
Then those who were hiding behind began to stand up and reap the fruits of victory.
Although most of these people sit with their buttocks crooked, they are not like those young people.
It often puts people on the verge of death or life, which is terrifying.
At the end of August, it is the time of crisp autumn weather in Beijing.
Yan Jiecheng was in a good mood. That afternoon, while Yan Jiecheng was still in the office, he received a call from Aunt Fang.
"Xiao Yan, hurry up and get to the headquarters hospital. Mr. Luo is dying."
"What? Okay, I'll come right away."
Yan Jiecheng put down the phone and hurried downstairs.
He had some doubts in his heart. He had just seen Luo Gong the day before yesterday. Although the old man's health was not good, he was not...
Yan Jiecheng walked quickly to the car, started the car and drove out of the headquarters compound.
After Yan Jiecheng became the director, he had a specially allocated car, but he still did not require a driver and drove himself.
Ten minutes later, Yan Jiecheng arrived at the headquarters hospital.
I asked the nurse about Luo Gong's ward, and then went directly to the second floor of the inpatient building.
Luo Gong was placed in a senior cadre ward.
Only Aunt Fang was guarding the group. When she saw Yan Jiecheng coming, she quickly said: "Xiao Yan, you are here."
Yan Jiecheng nodded and looked at Luo Gong on the hospital bed.
Seeing the other person look haggard, it also hurts my heart.
Aunt Fang said softly: "Luo Lao just fell asleep, let's go out and talk."
After the two came out, Aunt Fang said: "The old man suddenly fainted today. I asked the driver to send him to the hospital quickly."
As he spoke, he stopped and sobbed: "But the doctor said that the old man has run out of energy and will only last a few days at most.
That's why I called you. "
Yan Jiecheng felt very uncomfortable after hearing Aunt Fang's words.
Looking back on my journey, Mr. Luo helped me a lot.
Normally, the old man treats him as his grandson.
Unexpectedly, this would be the separation of yin and yang.
My child has had a fever these past few days and the updates have not been timely. Please refresh it.
