Chapter 178 Yi Zhonghai's Son 33
In 1964, the three-year famine finally ended.
Yi Yongkang walked out of the school gate full of confidence, holding in his hands an excellent transcript and a letter of recommendation from his teacher.
With his outstanding academic performance, he successfully got the opportunity to enter the technical department of the steel plant.
"Comrade Yi, thank you for choosing this place. We need technical talents like you," Director Yang excitedly held Yi Yongkang's hand.
Yi Yongkang shook hands uncomfortably for a while before retracting his hand.
“This is an opportunity given to me by the country and a recommendation from my teacher.”
"Wait a moment, I'll take you to the technical department to have a look." Director Yang said nothing more and took Yi Yongkang directly to the technical department of the factory.
Halfway along the way, they met Li Huaide and his lackeys coming out of the logistics department.
"Director Yang, where did this come from?" Li Huaide looked at the stranger next to him with some confusion. "Who is this young man?"
Director Yang gave him a fake smile and said, "This is Comrade Yi, a new technician."
When Yang Huaide saw that he was a technical talent, he immediately stepped forward, shook his hand and introduced himself.
"I am the deputy director of the factory and I am also in charge of logistics and procurement. I will introduce myself to you later."
Director Yang interrupted him and said, "You should arrange a good place for him to live later."
Yi Yongkang just laughed it off.
"That's what I should do." Li Huaide didn't care about Director Yang's attitude.
A group of people came to the technical department. In the office, there were blueprints and busy colleagues working attentively and discussing in low voices.
"Director Yang, what are you doing here at this time?" Engineer Liu walked over.
"This is Comrade Yi who just joined the company," Director Yang introduced.
"Mr. Liu, do you see if there are any vacancies here?"
Engineer Liu raised his head and his eyes fell on Yi Yongkang. He looked at the young man carefully, and a hint of curiosity rose in his heart. Yi Yongkang was young, but he was introduced here, which obviously meant that he had extraordinary abilities.
Engineer Liu noticed that Yi Yongkang had a clear face and handsome appearance, revealing a firmness and confidence. His eyes were bright and focused, as if he was full of enthusiasm and determination for his work. This external temperament made Engineer Liu have more expectations of him.
"There happens to be a vacant desk inside," Engineer Liu brought a group of people to the back.
Engineer Liu pointed to the location and went about his work.
Yi Yongkang looked at the relatively large desk, which was close to the window, and nodded with satisfaction.
Director Yang was relieved to see that the other party was very satisfied.
"Comrade Yi, Deputy Director Li, who is in charge of logistics, is here too. You can go with him to choose a place to stay later."
Yi Yongkang was very happy to have a place to live in Beijing in the future.
Not long after, Yi Yongkang arrived at the logistics department, and Li Huaide enthusiastically took him to see several alternative accommodations.
"Most of the employees in our factory live in the courtyard houses in Nanluoguxiang, and some of the senior positions live in tube-shaped buildings," Li Huaide introduced the list.
“There is an empty small courtyard in No. 95 Siheyuan, Nanluoguxiang.”
"A 50-square-meter wing room and a 20-square-meter back room"
"I'll choose this one," Yi Yongkang said when he heard the location, which happened to be where he lived.
Li Huaide did not introduce any other residences, and asked someone to bring out the key to this location and hand it to him.
"Come to me if you need anything in the future," Li Huaide actively tried to win over Yi Yongkang.
After Yi Yongkang walked out of the steel plant, he returned to the courtyard in a very happy mood.
"Mom, I've been employed in a steel mill"
When Aunt Yi heard that the employment procedures had been completed, she was very happy and took her son's hand and left.
"Your father was very worried before he left, and now you and your son happen to be in the same place."
"I'll go out and buy some vegetables to celebrate before it gets dark." After saying that, he left with the shopping basket.
Yi Yongkang smiled and went back to the bedroom next door.
When Yi Zhonghai came home from work in the evening, he heard the good news and was so happy that he patted his son's shoulders several times and was speechless.
"Let's cheer up the old lady later. I'll call Old He, Old Liu and Old Yan to come over for a drink." Yi Zhonghai wanted to find someone to show off his son.
Yan Bugui felt very uncomfortable when he heard that his eldest son was already a technical worker in the steel plant, thinking that his own son was still hanging around in the street office.
"Congratulations, Mr. Yi." Liu Haizhong felt a little disappointed when he thought about his eldest son working in another city.
Yi Zhonghai was all smiles, his eyes sparkling with pride, accepting the envious looks from the people around him.
He Daqing no longer had any hope for his stupid son and hoped that his grandson would grow up to be as smart and talented as Yongkang.
The next day, the family came to the allocated small courtyard, which was located in the front yard. The surrounding environment was quiet and showed the accumulation of years.
There is a stone table and several stone benches in the middle of the yard, and a small flower bed overgrown with weeds in front of the house.
Opening the empty room in the master bedroom, Aunt Yi opened all the windows in the bedroom for ventilation, while Yi Zhonghai looked at the space and prepared to redecorate it.
Yi Yongkang came to the next room.
It looked like a study room with some furniture still left inside and some bulky bookshelves lying there empty.
Guessing that there must be something left in the study, he checked it secretly.
There were signs of movement behind the bookshelf.
I want to wait until there is no one around before coming over to take a look, so as to avoid making too much noise and being heard by others.
For the subsequent decoration of this place, Yi Zhonghai hired someone to repaint the walls and buy new furniture.
The next room is also used as a study. I bought a new desk and the bookshelves are filled with books and textbooks collected in recent years.
Hidden behind the bookshelf is a treasure rack filled with many antique jades. He checked and found some of them are from the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, and Qianlong period.
He did not touch anything inside, but restored the mechanism to its original state.
After a few days, I started working officially and got used to doodling in the office and sometimes patrolling the workshop.
At noon, he went to the cafeteria to eat with his father Yi Zhonghai. When He Yuzhu served him food, he never shook the spoon and always gave him a full bowl.
He Yuzhu now has a son and a daughter. He smiles every day and is very doting on his wife, never letting her do any work.
Xu Damao was very jealous when he saw that He Yuzhu, who was the same age as him, had already married a beautiful wife and had a child. He vowed to find someone prettier than her. However, he procrastinated and finally got involved with Qin Huaijing. They didn't have children for many years until they had a baby daughter ten years later.
