Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 16: Promoted to engineer and the advent of washing machine

The news that Zhao Xin bought a sewing machine spread quickly in the yard, and the second aunt and the third aunt came to see the style of the new sewing machine.

In the whole yard, only Uncle Yi's house and Jia's house have sewing machines.

Now, Zhao Xin's family has become one of them.

Sewing machines are not easy to buy. These days, the output of sewing machines is extremely low. Even if ordinary people can save enough money to buy sewing machines, they cannot afford sewing tickets.

At this time, with the evidence of the sewing machine, the rumor that Xin Zhao was about to be promoted to engineer seemed to be confirmed.

This was already making Jia Dongxu uncomfortable, but what made Jia Dongxu even more uncomfortable was that the origin of his sewing machine was also discussed by everyone, saying that it was given by Uncle Yi when he accepted Jia Dongxu as his apprentice.

The master gave his apprentice a 'apprenticeship gift'!
When Jia Dongxu saw his wife washing clothes with her face facing Zhao Xin's house, he went up and kicked her hard.

Qin Huairu was kicked to the ground, and she heard Jia Dongxu's angry curses while she was still in a daze.

"Tell me, do you want to be the wife of a man named Zhao? I tell you, if you dare to steal someone behind my back, I will beat you to death."

As he spoke, he actually stepped forward and kicked Qin Huairu a few more times.

The door to the main room of the main courtyard opened quickly, and He Yuzhu rushed out immediately: "Brother Jia, what are you doing? Why are you beating Sister Qin for no reason?"

Qin Huairu burst into tears in grievance. Xu Damao, who had just come back from outside, was carrying an old hen. He wandered to Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu, glanced at the footprints on Qin Huairu's butt, and then looked at He Yuzhu. and Jia Dongxu.

He immediately said in a strange voice: "Axu, how do you hit the stupid wife? He finally found a partner."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu, who was originally in tears, quickly put aside He Yuzhu's hand to support her, but she unsteadily sat on the ground again.

"Go away, what's wrong with you?" He Yuzhu glared at Xu Damao, and then helped Qin Huairu up again. This time Qin Huairu did not refuse.

"Hey, Sister Qin, I got the wrong person. I have to say something to you about Jia Dongxu. How can you beat your wife for no reason? Women can hold up half the sky, so be careful to hold a hospital meeting to criticize you." Xu Damao was serious in his words.

"Humph." Jia Dongxu snorted, knowing in his heart that he was in the wrong, and turned around and returned to the west wing.

Seeing this, Xu Damao also smiled and left. The unhappiness caused by the jealousy of the Central Court just knowing that Zhao Xin bought a sewing machine also disappeared.

I went to work normally the next day, but Xin Zhao was not in the workshop.

Instead, it was in another vacant factory building. Today, deputy factory director Li and factory director Yang came.

Come and see the new results of Zhao Xin's research and development. Although this new product was independently designed by Zhao Xin, it was not completed by him alone. He also had Xiao Wei and Lao Qin working under him.

Zhao Xin led Deputy Director Li and Director Yang to the machine and introduced: "Two leaders, this is a new product, and it is now ready for testing."

Director Yang and Deputy Director Li circled the machine twice, a plastic cylinder with wires on the outside.Director Yang asked with some doubts: "This washing machine can really wash clothes?"

"Yes." Xin Zhao replied affirmatively: "I came up with this idea after I came into contact with washing powder. This washing machine can indeed wash clothes, and we have prepared test supplies."

Xiaowei on the side took out a few pieces of dirty clothes and a bag of washing powder.

"Then let's test it." Deputy Director Li waved his hand, and Director Yang nodded.

Xin Zhao gestured towards Xiaowei, who put the clothes on the ground and then displayed them one by one, allowing the two factory directors to determine how dirty the clothes were.Then I threw the clothes into the washing machine and sprinkled some washing powder on them.

On the other side, Lao Qin came over with a basin of water and poured it directly into the washing tub. The water was poured in a short time.

"Power on," Xin Zhao said.

"Wait a minute." Director Yang said quickly: "Water is poured into the washing machine and the power is still on. This will cause an electric shock."

"Lao Yang, don't be so surprised. Xiao Zhao and the others have already taken anti-electricity measures and will not let electricity come into direct contact with water. You must trust our engineers, they are scientists!" Deputy Director Li said at the moment. Looks like a great leader.

Director Yang frowned and said nothing.

Xiaowei plugged in the socket, and Xin Zhao personally turned the switch position.The washing machine immediately started spinning. Zhao Xin did not leave the washing machine with his hands, and even scooped out some water with his hands.This shows that the washing machine will not leak electricity.

"Two leaders, the rotating shaft of the washing machine is water-proof, which means that the motor and water are completely separated. As long as the washing machine is not deformed due to collision, there will be basically no leakage. And even if there is leakage, the plastic of the casing itself is insulated. Yes, there is no danger." Xin Zhao explained.

"Yes." Deputy Director Li immediately stepped forward and looked at the clothes tumbling in the washing tub.

The water in the washing tub looks murky.

"Lao Yang, come and take a look. I have made a proposal for a new washing machine workshop, and I will ask you to sign it when the time comes." Deputy Director Li said.

Director Yang stepped forward and looked at the clothes spinning in the washing tub. He was already convinced that the washing machine could wash clothes.This rotation can indeed clean clothes.Factory Director Yang looked at Zhao Xin and said: "Yes, great goals are achieved through hard work. Our country needs talents like you."

"Vice Li, I'll sign it when you get back. When the workshop is successfully built, Xiao Zhao will be the workshop director." Director Yang said.

Deputy Factory Manager Li frowned slightly when he heard the words, this guy surnamed Yang went so far as to poach the wall.

"Xiao Zhao, this workshop director is certainly worthy of his name. I will apply for a tricycle ticket for you. You have many children at home, so you can take them out for walks more frequently."

"Thank you two leaders." Zhao Xin continued with a smile on his face: "Boss, I will work hard as the workshop director and strive to invent several more machines that benefit the country and the people."

"Okay." Deputy Director Li and Director Yang's eyes lit up.

This washing machine is already a great achievement. If Xin Zhao invents another invention in the future, it will be another great achievement.

At this moment, Zhao Xin wanted to please neither side, and his attitude of sitting on the fence was completely ignored by Deputy Director Li.

A few people were chatting, and half an hour had passed.

Lao Qin and Xiao Wang first turned off the washing machine, then took out the clothes and ran them through clean water. They saw that the original dirty clothes had become clean again.

"Okay." Deputy Factory Manager Li took the lead in applauding, and Factory Manager Yang followed suit.At this moment, the two who usually fight openly and secretly seem to be in harmony.

In the afternoon of that day, Deputy Director Li and Director Yang convened a meeting.

At the meeting, Director Yang first read out the documents for Zhao Xin’s promotion to engineer.

Director Yang's voice was pragmatic. He said: "Today we are praising Zhao Xin, a talented person in our factory. He started as a first-level forger and was promoted to a third-level forger in just one year."

Master Liu, who was originally in the forging workshop, was very proud when he heard this and told the story of Zhao Xin to several newcomers in the workshop.

Director Yang on the stage continued: "Then he applied to be transferred to the fitter workshop. He was already an eighth-level fitter a year ago. Now, he will also be promoted to the engineer of the third rolling mill. Now we invite the new engineer Zhao Xin to come on stage to receive the award. .”

Yi Zhonghai looked bitter in the audience. He didn't even bother to look at his apprentice Jia Dongxu.At this moment, he finally understood that even he and Zhao Xin were not on the same level, let alone Jia Dongxu?
Initially, Jia Dongxu was worried, but when he saw that his master was too lazy to look at him, his face immediately became distorted, and he only had one thought in his mind: "He doesn't look at me!".

Xin Zhao came on stage, and there was thunderous applause from the audience.

"Next, Deputy Director Li will present the awards in person." Director Yang said.

As he spoke, he moved away from the microphone, and Deputy Director Li came to the microphone: "The steel rolling mill was instructed by the superiors to reward Engineer Zhao Xin with 300 yuan in cash, plus a tricycle ticket!"

After speaking, Deputy Director Li picked up 300 yuan and a tricycle ticket from the plate held by his subordinates and handed them to Zhao Xin.

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li, and thank you to the steel rolling mill for trusting and nurturing me." Zhao Xin bowed.

Deputy Director Li was overjoyed when he heard this. This guy still knows how to do it.

He patted Xin Zhao on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue working hard.

Deputy Director Li returned to the microphone and shouted: "There is another big news to be announced today. Our factory will add a new washing machine workshop."
