I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 21: Someone from the Bicycle Factory
Song Wu was released by the uncles and aunties who were watching the excitement after placing more than a dozen orders.It was also because it was almost dinner time and they were all eager to go back to cook, so the crowd slowly dispersed.

Song Wu pushed the wheelchair back to the door of the shop and saw Qin Huairu still standing under the locust tree. Her eyes seemed to be looking at him much more eagerly, almost as much as Song Wu looked at her with enthusiasm.

"Hey, Song Wu. I just saw that many people are planning to let you make cars for them?"

"They are just curious. The car won't be built too quickly, and they might change their minds by then."

Qin Huairu came closer and asked softly: "How much will it cost to complete a car like this?"

"Why are you worried about this? You have no need." Song Wu said jokingly.

"I see so many people want it, so I'm a little curious. Do you want to tell me?"

"I don't know how to calculate it now. I have to go back and do the math slowly. This has just been completed. There may be some areas that need to be readjusted later." In fact, he has already thought about how much he should charge for such a wheelchair. I have the numbers, but telling Qin Huairu there is no benefit and it is completely unnecessary.

"Humph", Qin Huairu became unhappy and turned away, returning to the courtyard.

Song Wu just smiled, he didn't have time to worry about her right now.

He sat on the wheelchair and tried to enter the shop through the door, which was more than 1 meter wide.If the door could be wider, it would definitely be easier to operate. Now that he was careful, he could still enter the house slowly.

He poured himself a glass of water, sat on the stool, and thought in his mind.

In fact, he has an estimate of the possible repercussions this wheelchair will have after it is made.

A hand-operated wheelchair is not an earth-shattering event, but it is definitely not a trivial event worth mentioning.If it can be used well, it should bring some benefits.

Coincidentally, Director Wang from the sub-district office happened to be passing by today and saw it.It can be seen from her reaction today that she must have some ideas, and Song Wu also thinks she is someone who can cooperate.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if it doesn't bring any other benefits.The biggest gain is realizing the main purpose of making your travel more convenient.

In the afternoon, when people came back from get off work, many people heard that Song Wu had built a good car that even Director Wang of the Street Office praised, and they came to see it.So Song Wu's car repair shop ushered in a lively climax again.

Song Wu also had to push out the wheelchair again and operate it in public.Sure enough, it aroused the interest of many people.

What surprised Song Wu was that Director Wang moved very quickly.

Shortly after he opened the door the next morning, Director Wang led several men in tunic suits to the car repair shop.

As soon as the few people entered the shop, they shook hands with Song Wu enthusiastically after being introduced by Director Wang.The two people, who clearly looked like workers, were more interested in the hand-cranked wheelchair placed in the room.As soon as they shook hands, they eagerly gathered around.

The two of them were stroking up and down, left and right, and kept discussing with each other. They even made a sound of admiration from time to time. It took a while before they stopped without knowing what was going on.

The middle-aged man wearing glasses with a leadership look asked: "How is it?"

The older of the two, who looked like a worker, said excitedly: "Director, what a great thing! What a great idea."

The middle-aged man who was called the factory director had an expression of joy on his face. He turned to Director Wang and nodded, and then he shook Song Wu's hand again, much more enthusiastically than when they just met.

"Comrade Song, you are amazing! You are good at using your brain, inventing and creating in your work, and you can make something so useful and meaningful, which is admirable."

Director Wang stood aside with a look of relief on her face. She said to Song Wu, who was a little confused about the situation: "This is Director Shen of our BJ Bicycle Factory. Now the bicycle factory is being renovated and expanded and is preparing to take the famous brand route. They are lacking A flagship project product. The car you built was reported to me at a meeting in the district yesterday, and it was highly valued. Xiao Song, let me tell you this, you have made a great contribution. I wonder if you are willing to hand over this design to In the factory?”

Director Wang looked at Song Wu with a serious and expectant expression.

Song Wu said nothing, turned around, took out the old exercise book from the tool box, and stuffed it into Director Wang's hand.

Director Wang didn't know what it was, so he looked through it casually.When she saw some pictures and some data drawn on the back of the homework book, she looked at Song Wu with inquiring eyes.

"Aunt Wang, these are some of the illustrations I had in mind when I made this thing from beginning to end. If there is anything you need to ask about in the factory, I will tell you everything and I will be there when you call."

Director Wang carefully looked through the primary school student homework book in his hand again.Flipping through the pages one by one, I saw the various pictures drawn on the back.She didn't understand much, but she could only tell that the painting was very beautiful. She quickly handed the homework book to Director Li.

Director Shen looked through it and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was the one who really knew what he was doing. He looked through the pages impatiently, and the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. He raised his head and asked Song Wu: "I see that some parts here are parts of new specifications. How did you do it?" ?”

Song Wu said: "I used to be a fitter in a steel rolling mill, and I processed these parts by hand."

The middle-aged man looked at Song Wu with a hint of admiration.He said to Director Shen: "It is very detailed and complete. Although it is not professional enough, we only need to briefly organize it and it will be a very complete production process manual."

Director Shen was very happy after hearing this and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay."

Next, two people who looked like workers chatted with Song Wu in many details, and also asked many practical questions of concern.

Song Wu now knew that the middle-aged man was an engineer at the bicycle factory and his surname was Qian.He also called him Brother Qian according to his request.The younger one is a technician, surnamed Liu.

During the conversation, Song Wu suddenly felt something in his heart and said to Qian Gong: "Brother Qian, look, my car is still missing a part and I can't find a place to get it. I wonder if you can do anything about it?"

"What part?" Qiangong's eyes looked around on the hand-cranked wheelchair.

Song Wu patted the wooden board on the seat and said: "The people who use this kind of wheelchair are people with inconvenient legs and feet. They probably have to sit on it for a long time. You see how much this board hurts your buttocks, so I thought about it." A sponge cushion. It would be best to cover it with black leather, that would probably make it much more comfortable."

Qian Gong looked at the current wooden seat of the wheelchair, touched it with his hand, and nodded, "Yes, you are right, it is still necessary to get a cushion. People with limited legs and feet sit more often than they stand. If there is no one, Soft things are really not good. Xiao Song, you are very careful."

Song Wu said: "I feel very close to myself."

……

At noon, Song Wu declined Director Shen's plan to invite him to dinner.The excuse is that if we really want to eat together, we can wait until the first mass-produced wheelchair comes off the assembly line.

Director Shen and the others returned to the factory happily, but Director Wang stayed.

She enthusiastically pulled Song Wu to talk, and the tone of her words was very affectionate. After the two casually chatted for a few words, Director Wang said with emotion: "Xiao Song, you call me aunt, but I am the aunt." , I am usually busy with work, and I don’t care enough about you. I always want to come and see you, but I can’t get away. Now that you have such results in your work and your mental outlook is good, I feel relieved. You told your aunt that there is still more to life. Whatever difficulties and needs we have, I can help you solve them if my ability permits."

When Song Wu was on the snake-fighting pole, when Director Wang made out with her, he was even more disdainful and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, you care about so many people's hearts every day. I know you are busy at work. Don't worry, everything is fine with me." . If Aunt Wang and the factory hadn’t built this car repair shop for me, I wouldn’t have had the chance to work and live in peace of mind, let alone produce any decent work results. I was able to achieve such a small result with Aunt Wang and the factory. The support from the factory is inseparable. I still remember this gratitude in my heart.”

Director Wang looked at Song Wu with great relief.

"Today, you are only allowed to report worries to me, not happiness. Tell me, what are the difficulties?"

Song Wu thought for a while and said, "Aunt Wang only has one."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"As you know, I have inconvenient legs and feet, but the threshold in our courtyard is high and the yard is huge. I go from the front yard to the shop every day to open the door, use water in the shop, and go to the middle yard to weigh water. It's very laborious and very inconvenient. Now, I've made a wheelchair, but it's still useless to get in and out of the courtyard. I can't ask for all the thresholds in the courtyard to be sawed off and all the steps to be removed just because I'm alone. Not what I thought."

Director Wang nodded while listening, looking at Song Wu, waiting for him to continue.

Song Wu saw that Director Wang was listening carefully, so he continued, "It turns out that I reported it at the whole hospital meeting in the courtyard and wanted to open a wall on the partition wall between the east wing where I live and the shop here. A small door of more than 1 meter. This way I can enter and exit more conveniently without disturbing everyone's normal life. However, the three uncles did not agree because they felt it was unsafe. Moreover, the small courtyard of my original shop is now connected to the courtyard. The moon door is locked. Now, I have to pass two high thresholds every day to open a shop, which is really uncomfortable. The main reason is this difficulty. Let’s see if Aunt Wang can solve it. "

After Director Wang listened carefully, he frowned and thought for a while.

"In this hospital, Lao Yi and the other three are usually very enthusiastic. I have never heard them respond to this problem. How can you be so uncaring about people's lives? Especially for a special group like you, we must do everything we can to provide convenience. Yeah. Let’s do this. I’ll go find out about the situation and give you an answer as soon as possible. If it can be solved, I’ll solve it for you as soon as possible.”

Song Wu led Director Wang to look at the small courtyard of the shop, pointed out the place where she wanted to open the door, and told her his plan.
