"Congratulations, Lao Liu, your family has managed to survive. Each one is better than the last. The eldest is more powerful, and the second is even more powerful. You have only been in the factory for a few days, and you have already made such a big contribution."
"I have long seen that these three children of the old Liu family are not ordinary people. In the future, Guangfu will definitely be more powerful than these two brothers."
"Hahahaha," Liu Haizhong laughed happily when he heard the neighbors praising his three sons. The sound was loud enough that the whole courtyard could hear it.
After more than a month of busy work, Liu Guangtian and his colleagues successfully completed the design of a pure oxygen top-blown converter. With the strong support of Yang Shurong, he gathered the strength of the entire Hongxing Iron and Steel Plant to create a pure oxygen top-blown converter. Oxygen top-blown converter equipment, and successfully produced the first furnace of steel two years ago.
The biggest disadvantages of the open-hearth steelmaking method in the past were long smelting time, high fuel consumption, and high infrastructure investment and production costs.
A steel plant with an annual output of 12 million tons of steel will need 30 to 40 large open hearths of 500 tons if it builds an open hearth.
It is enough to build six 250~300t pure oxygen top-blown converters, and the efficiency will be almost doubled.
Seeing that the actual steelmaking effect was the same as Liu Guangtian's design, Yang Shurong knew that their Red Star Steel Factory was going to steal the show this time.
If they build a few more converters like this, not too many, just ten, their Red Star Steel Plant will be able to overthrow Anshan Iron and Steel and become the leader of steel plants in New China.
Thinking that the Red Star Steel Plant would flourish in his own hands, Yang Shurong reported the matter to the Ministry of Industry without saying a word. Needless to say, the result was that Liu Guangtian immediately became a hero of the Red Star Steel Plant. Leaders took turns to receive him and receive certificates. Get soft.
"It's really evil. How come all these good sons have ended up in his family? You guys can't be more competitive and learn from those boys in Lao Liu's family. Look at them, you three are no better than the three of them. It's not much, why are my grades so far behind? I've embarrassed you all." Looking at the high-spirited bangs surrounded by everyone, Yan Bugui felt sour in his heart. The same three Son, looking at that third son, and then looking at his own third son, Yan Bugui couldn't help but feel an evil fire in his heart.
Hearing Yan Bugui's words, the three Yan Jiecheng brothers, who were stretching their heads to watch the excitement, suddenly opened their eyes.
"What are you doing? If you are unhappy, go somewhere else and don't look for trouble here. It's the fault of a son who doesn't teach his father. If they don't succeed, it means that you are not good at being a father. Stop complaining about this or that." Seeing Yan Bugui talking to his son for no reason, the three aunts on the side protected him.
Although the third aunt is relatively consistent with the Yanbu Gui Front in terms of saving money, in other aspects, she is just like an ordinary mother. No matter how good other people's children are, they are not as good as her own.
"Why can't I do it? I'm probably the most educated among the older generation. His bangs only have the education level of a junior primary school student. Do you think he can educate children better than me?"
"People don't know how to educate their children, but their children still become talented. What does this mean? It means that your family is not good at it." Jia Zhang suddenly interjected.
"Whose family do you think is not good at growing crops? Please try again." After hearing this, the third aunt became unhappy and pointed at Mrs. Jia Zhang's nose and asked.
"Who are you scolding?" Yan Jiecheng stood aside and Yan Jiefang also stood up.
"Hey, I'm trying to bully people by taking advantage of the large number of people, of course..."
"Third aunt, don't be angry. My mother-in-law is talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. For the sake of my brother-in-law, don't argue with her." Qin Huiru on the side saw that Jia Zhang was going to give her another gift. Seeking trouble for himself, he quickly stepped forward and covered Jia Zhang's mouth, apologized to Yan Bugui's family, and dragged Jia Zhang home.
"Come, let's raise a toast to the advanced model Liu Guangtian." In order to celebrate Liu Guangtian becoming an advanced figure in the steel plant, Qin Huairu took the women at home and showed off their skills to cook a large table of dishes for Liu Guangtian.
"Thank you everyone."
"Now that you have a successful career, your rank has been raised, and a house has been allocated. When do you plan to marry your partner?" After having had enough wine and food, and put their bangs back from their drunken bangs, the two brothers said Come to the study and chat.
While chatting, the topic came up about Liu Guangtian's life-long events.
"Yes, you're not young anymore. When your brother and you were as old as each other, we already had children." Qin Huairu, who brought tea to the two of them, said.
"I've already thought about it. I plan to propose to Aifang years ago."
"Yeah, not bad. Just tell me what you need. We have plenty of rings and necklaces. You can pick whatever you want."
"This isn't appropriate." Liu Guangqi just nodded, and Qin Huairu raised objections.
"What's inappropriate? Sister-in-law." Liu Guangtian asked nervously after hearing Qin Huairu's objection.
Liu Guangtian still respects Qin Huairu very much. After all, she is his serious sister-in-law, and she has been taking care of his daily life since Qin Huairu moved to their house. Counting that, it has been ten years. She said that she watched Liu Guangtian grow up, so her opinion should be listened to.
"Don't be nervous. It's not that I don't agree. I just think that before you propose, you have to meet the other person's parents. Otherwise, if you propose directly, it seems to be a bit of a show-off. Our family is okay, we can Even if dad is angry, his brother will take care of him, but as for them, don’t forget what kind of family they are. If their parents feel that you don’t take them seriously, then you are not self-defeating.”
"What you said makes sense, sister-in-law. I will discuss with Aifang tomorrow to visit her dad. Brother, why don't you go with me? I'm a little scared." Liu Guangtian heard Qin Huairu's analysis, Suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat.
When he thought of the identity of Li Aifang's father, Liu Guangtian suddenly felt a little guilty and couldn't help but cast a look for help at Liu Guangqi.
"What are you afraid of? Her father won't eat you." Liu Guangqi smiled when he saw Liu Guangtian sweating profusely.
"She can't eat me, but her father's status is too high. What if her father thinks I'm not good enough for her." Liu Guangtian said anxiously.
"No, I told you before. Although their family is a family of cadres, our family is not bad either. Our family is full of workers, peasants, students and soldiers, and you have just made such a great contribution. In my opinion It's too late for him to be happy that he understands your father-in-law, how could he not like you?" Although Liu Guangqi said he was so disappointed, in fact he was not sure in his heart. After all, almost every father-in-law in the world dislikes his son-in-law.
Not to mention that Li Aifang's father is still a daughter slave.
"No, you should come with me. You come with me. I have confidence in my heart." Although his current achievements are no worse than Liu Guangqi's, Liu Guangtian still has an inexplicable trust in Liu Guangqi after so many years.
"Okay, let's go together. You let me know when the date is set." Seeing Liu Guangtian's pitiful look, Liu Guangqi agreed to Liu Guangtian's request.
“Good”…
"Meet the parents?" Liu Guangtian went to Li Aifang early the next morning. After taking Li Aifang to watch a new movie, Liu Guangtian made a request to meet the parents.
Hearing Liu Guangtian say that he wanted to see his father, Li Aifang's face suddenly turned red.
"Well, I originally thought about proposing to you today. I have everything ready, but my sister-in-law said that I need to meet with my parents first." Liu Guangtian took out the engagement ring that he had prepared.
"What a beautiful ring." Although this style is not popular in this era, as a woman, no one can resist the temptation of jewelry.
Although Li Aifang is the daughter of a cadre, she has a bit of a petty bourgeois sentiment as she grew up in front of her grandparents.
Seeing the sparkling diamond ring in Liu Guangtian's hand, his eyes lit up.
"As long as you like it. Once your dad agrees, I'll put it on your hand."
"Yes." Li Aifang nodded fiercely while looking at the ring that shone with dazzling light.
"Then when will your dad be free these two days? I'll be ready." Liu Guangtian summoned up the courage to ask.
"Look at you like that. My dad is not a man-eating tiger. My dad is on a business trip and won't come back until after the new year." Seeing Liu Guangtian's nervousness, Li Aifang burst out laughing and patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder.
"Not here." Liu Guangtian let out a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Aifang's father was not in the house. His colleague who felt lucky felt a little disappointed.
"How about we go to your house." Seeing the change in Liu Guangtian's expression, Li Aifang suddenly said.
"Go to my house?" Liu Guangtian raised his head when he heard this.
"That's right, go to your house."
"But, but"
"Stop it, meet the parents. If you have the opportunity to meet one of the parents, since my dad is not here, let's go see your parents. Come on, let's go shopping now." After saying that, Li Aifang pulled the girl who was still in a daze. Liu Guangtian walked towards the nearby store.
"Your family lives here." After buying some fruits and cans in the store, which are often brought when visiting in this era, Liu Guangtian took Li Aifang to Nanluogu Lane.
"Well, my home is in the alley in front." Liu Guangtian pointed in the direction of the courtyard. rare.
"Guangtian, can you tell me about your family?" For some reason, Li Aifang didn't feel anything when she came, but when she arrived, she couldn't help but become nervous.
"There are ten people in our family including my brother's adopted children, namely my father, my mother, my grandfather, my brother and I, my aunt, and then my eldest brother, sister-in-law's family of three, and the children adopted by my eldest brother, who are now recognized as My aunt became my godmother and my cousin." Liu Guangtian briefly told Li Aifang about his family members.
"What a beautiful courtyard." As they spoke, the two of them came to the entrance of the courtyard. Seeing the magnificent and bright door in front of them, Li Aifang nodded in praise.
"No, our courtyard is the most magnificent in this area. If you look at the courtyard with three spans and five entrances, you can't even find a few old masters." Liu Guangtian said with some pride.
"It's really rare." Li Aifang is also an old BJ person. She also knows a little about BJ culture and knows how precious it is to enter a courtyard house.
"Hey, who is this? Guangtian, she can't be the new wife you brought back, right? She's so handsome, no worse than your sister-in-law." Liu Guangtian introduced the courtyard to Li Aifang while walking towards the courtyard. After passing through the courtyard, you just entered a hanging flower door.
The sharp-eyed neighbors in the courtyard saw Liu Guangtian and Li Aifang.
"Hahaha" faced with the ridicule from the neighbors, Liu Guangtian and Li Aifang didn't even say anything, they just smiled with a red face.
"She is really a new wife. You can do it, you are fast enough. You have only been working for a few days and you have found a partner." Seeing that Liu Guangtian did not deny it, he really played chess with Wu Yuan and stared at Silly Zhu. Just like a light bulb.
"Hahaha, you're dumbfounded, Silly Zhu. Among all the old people in our courtyard, you are the only one who is not married." Wu Yuan saw Silly Zhu's surprised look, holding his stomach and laughing.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't there still a solution?" Silly Zhu took out Yan Jiecheng from the third uncle's house with a dark face.
"Hey, you don't know, right? Yan Jiecheng has found a partner, and they might get married that day. You have to work harder. You are the oldest among the younger generation in our courtyard, so don't wait until Jiecheng Kuang is married, but you are still single."
"Shut up your crow mouth." Hearing what Wu Yuan said, Silly Zhu's mood became bad again because he had become good during the New Year.
"Second Grandma, my Uncle Guangtian is back with his partner." Just when Wu Yuan and Sha Zhu were bickering, Bang Gang had already run towards the backyard with Xiao Dang and shouted.
"Back, Guangtian,"
"Well, hello, first uncle. Hello, third uncle."
"This is the first uncle, and this one next to him is the third uncle. The two of them are the stewards of our courtyard." Liu Guangtian led Li Aifang to the backyard while introducing the people in the courtyard to Li Aifang.
"First uncle, third uncle, shouldn't there be a second uncle in between? Where is the second uncle?"
"That's really smart. The second uncle is my dad. He should be staying at home right now."
"Uncle, give me candy, give me candy. If you don't give me candy, I won't let you pass." As soon as Liu Guangtian took Li Aifang to the backyard, he was blocked by a lot of children.
"Why are there so many children?" Li Aifang asked with eyes wide open when she saw the little guys surrounding her.
"There are still more. Have you got this out of space yet?" Liu Guangtian said secretly in his heart.
"These two are the children of my sister-in-law and her sister, these two are the godsons of my eldest brother, and this is my nephew. These twins..." Hearing Liu Guangtian's introductions one by one, although Li Aifang listened carefully, she still couldn't help but Feeling a little dizzy.
"Back. Guangtian,"
"You are Aifang, welcome." After finally using candy to drive away these little guys, Liu Guangtian took Li Aifang to the east wing where Lao Liu and Liu's mother lived.
After receiving the news, Liu Haizhong and Liu's mother stood at the door early, quietly waiting for Li Aifang's arrival.
If it were anyone else, Liu Haizhong would definitely not do this, but in order to prevent Liu Haizhong from embarrassing Li Aifang, Liu Guangqi had told Liu Haizhong Li Aifang's identity a long time ago.
Otherwise, it would be just a dream to have Liu Haizhong stand at the door to greet her.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Li Aifang greeted Liu Haizhong respectfully.
"Hello, hello, come in, come in, it's cold outside." When he saw Li Aifang, he put on a windbreaker, and his bangs were so busy that he welcomed Li Aifang in.
As soon as the curtain was lowered here, the people watching the excitement over there climbed under the window.
"Where is your room? Can I take a look?" I don't know if I have nothing to say to the old Liu couple. After a few private chats, the atmosphere became silent. Facing Li Aifang, I usually Liu Haizhong, who loves to act like a leader, doesn't even dare to say anything.
I saw Liu’s mother taking care of my grandfather who was coughing. In order to break this embarrassing situation, Li Aifang took the initiative and asked to go to Liu Guangtian's room to take a look.
"Yes, let's go to your brother's yard. It's nice there." Maybe he felt that the house on his side was a bit shabby.
Hearing that Li Aifang was going to visit Liu Guangtian's house, Liu Haizhong quickly agreed.
