Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 175 Gap
"Today we are taking advantage of Huai Yong, otherwise how could we eat this." Yang Zhenyu also missed it very much, as he hadn't eaten this for many years.

"This thing is really fresh. It's hard to get even in the mountains. Otherwise, we would have such a great treat." Chen Huaiyong said.

Time passed and it was another day off. Yang Zhenyu and He Yuzhu took their wives out of the compound and went to play by the river.

Of course, there was also a little follower, that was He Yushui. When she heard that we were going out to play, she was so excited that she insisted on following.

"Let's go here. I see the water is not flowing fast and it's not deep either. We should be able to play here." Yang Zhenyu said, pointing to the open river channel.

"Great, I'm going to play in the water and catch fish!" He Yushui was the first to jump up. She hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.

"Okay, be careful and don't get swept away." He Yuzhu nodded.

Three women were playing and laughing over there.

Yang Zhenyu and He Yuzhu found a slightly deeper place and prepared to fish.

I still use cornmeal to make the bait and then start fishing.

For Yang Zhenyu, such days are simply like heaven. He can have picnics with family and friends, and go fishing without having to think about work.

Unfortunately, there are not many days like this. After all, many tasks require him as the chief engineer to take the lead, and when it is time to be busy, he must be busy.

After a leisurely summer, Yang Zhenyu returned to work again. As the design drawings were out, all that remained was verification and modeling, a task that required very concentrated work, so the research institute became busy all of a sudden.

It was not until the end of the year that the work was completed. The project was officially accepted, the equipment was handed in, and we were waiting for the approval of the superiors. Whether it can be used for mass production and whether it can be replicated all needed to be verified.

Every time a project comes out, it doesn’t mean that it is enough to just research it out. It also requires repeated attempts and mass production.

If it cannot be mass-produced, the project will not be successful.

Just like many things, they have been researched in the laboratory, but there is no way to use them commercially. We can only continue researching them until they are put into commercial use.

Then, everyone in the institute received rewards from their superiors. Although the money was not much, it was a lot of tickets and supplies.

The superiors also know that what everyone lacks these days is supplies, especially as the New Year is approaching, supplies are what everyone wants even more.

"Where did you get all these New Year's goods?"

Zhou Qianqian was very happy that Yang Zhenyu could go home for the New Year. After all, her husband had disappeared for several months.

However, looking at the things she brought back, Zhou Qianqian found them magical.

"They are all rewards from our superiors. Don't ask for details. There is definitely no problem with the source of our things." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Okay, with so many things, how are you going to arrange them?" Zhou Qianqian nodded.

She knew the nature of Yang Zhenyu's work and there were many things she couldn't ask, so she didn't ask much, but how to put so many things away?

"Give some to your father and others, and some to my teacher, and keep the rest for us to eat slowly."

For Yang Zhenyu, with so many supplies, the fruits and vegetables that could not be stored would naturally be given away, while the dried fruits and other things that could be stored would be kept and eaten slowly.

In this day and age when supplies are scarce, no one wants to waste food. "Well, what you said makes sense, so let's divide the food. We don't need so much anyway." Zhou Qianqian nodded.

The superiors had already taken these into consideration when distributing supplies.

"We have an early holiday. I will take my things out for a walk tomorrow. If I'm late, people will have already bought things." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, I don't care about it." Zhou Qianqian said.

"By the way, Brother Zhuzi has signed up for a long-distance run around the city. Let's go together and cheer him on," said Zhou Qianqian.

"That's strange. Why did Brother Zhuzi think of signing up for a long-distance race? Doesn't he usually hate running the most?" Yang Zhenyu immediately became interested.

"Do you think he wanted to go? It was because Sister Meifeng wanted to watch the game and Brother Zhuzi was very jealous, so he signed up himself. Isn't it interesting?" Zhou Qianqian said.

"Haha, you know what, this is something Brother Zhuzi would do." Yang Zhenyu laughed.

Based on his understanding of He Yuzhu, he would really do this. Instead of letting his wife see others, it would be better for him to participate as well, which would make him more face-saving.

"That's right. I've been telling people about this in the compound these days. When the time comes, everyone should go over to cheer him on." Zhou Qianqian said.

"Okay, then we'll go over and join in the fun. After all, it's rare to find people in our compound willing to participate in such sports." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Do you want to try it too?" Zhou Qianqian said.

"Forget it. I know my physical fitness well. Running and working are no problem. But if I am asked to participate in a long-distance race, that is definitely not possible." Yang Zhenyu shook his head.

"You are just lazy." Zhou Qianqian knows her man too well.

"There's nothing wrong with this. Lazy people represent the progress of the world. Look, the invention of the car was due to people being too lazy to walk." Yang Zhenyu said righteously.

"What a weird idea! You just think of useless things all day long." Zhou Qianqian said speechlessly.

"How can it be considered as a fallacy? This is very normal logic." Yang Zhenyu said indifferently.

"What delicious food is my aunt going to make today?" Zhou Qianqian changed the subject.

"I don't know, but she took the bacon and left. Maybe she will make bacon." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"It looks like we'll have another treat tonight." Zhou Qianqian said happily.

Although her family's conditions are not bad, there is still some gap with here. It's not a matter of money, but a matter of tickets.

They can't be like Yang Zhenyu, who has all kinds of tickets from time to time and can buy some meat whenever he wants.

There is no way. In this era, the subsidies for scientists are really very good. For example, for some scientists in Northwest China, all the allowances added together are even higher than those of teachers.

This is well documented, because the country attaches great importance to scientists. Although the conditions provided are not as good as those abroad, they are also the best in the country. Various subsidies and nutrition are the envy of people all over the country.

As Yang Zhenyu received more and more benefits, his family also benefited from it. At least they could get various benefits and save some money.
