Chapter 25 Care?

When Sha Zhu returned, he told Li Jiandong that he wanted to take him as his apprentice.

He Daqing was a little disappointed, "You silly Zhu, I really don't know how to say hello to you.

Your uncle Li is willing to accept you as his disciple, which is a blessing you have earned in your lifetime. Why don't you quickly agree and come to ask me why? "

Previously, Jia Dongxu became Li Jiandong's apprentice and passed the third-level fitter qualification in less than a month.

Today, he heard from people in the fleet that Yan Jiecheng also passed the assessment for a third-level maintenance worker.

These two people are Li Jiandong's disciples, and their upgrade speed is terrifying.

On the way home, He Daqing was still thinking, why not just let Sha Zhu learn to be a fitter or a repairman from Li Jiandong. Anyway, he is so stupid that he can't learn the essence of cooking, and being a chef will only bring shame to himself.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiandong took the initiative to find his son to be his disciple, but this silly son didn't know how to appreciate it.

"Dad, I want to agree too, but I'm afraid you won't agree."

Sha Zhu shrank his head, obviously scared of being beaten.

Seeing his son being so cowardly, He Daqing became even angrier.
Pointing at his forehead, he cursed: "Do you think I'm as stupid as you? Hurry up and bring some tea with me, and go find your uncle Li to become his disciple. You're such a fool."

Sha Zhu said "oh" and quickly went to boil water to make tea.

He Daqing went to check He Yushui's homework, even though he hadn't even graduated from elementary school and couldn't understand the questions Yushui had done at all.

Li Jiandong had just finished his meal when he saw He Daqing and Sha Zhu walk in. He stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"Daqing, I heard everything you said at home just now. From now on, Zhuzi will worship me as his master and become my apprentice. You can't call my apprentice a fool every day."

Children’s inferiority complex is sometimes caused by verbal violence from their parents.

Shazhu in the TV series is not stupid at all, he is even very smart. The reason why he is so humble now is because of the scolding from He Daqing.

He Daqing laughed and said indifferently: "Old Li, what you said is true. He is my own son. Are you deliberately scolding him? This kid is really too stupid. I am just disappointed with him."

Li Jiandong shook his head and said, "My opinion is a little different from yours. I think Zhuzi is a very spiritual child. If you don't believe me, let's wait a month and see."

Sha Zhu had been scolded by He Daqing since he was a child, and this was the first time he was encouraged by someone. He looked up at Li Jiandong with red eyes.

He Daqing laughed and said, "Okay, Lao Li, you can educate him for me. I'll see if he can make some progress in a month."

"To be honest, I still admire your ability to teach your disciples. I hope Zhuzi can have a good change."

After that, he said to Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, what are you still standing there for!"

Sha Zhu knelt down, held up the teacup with both hands and said to Li Jiandong: "Master, please have some tea."

Li Jiandong took the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Okay, Zhuzi, from now on you are my third apprentice. Go home and eat first. After you have finished eating and cleaned up the dishes, come out and I will formally teach you military boxing."

"Okay Uncle Li, oh no, okay Master."

Sha Zhu got up and went home with He Daqing.

Li Jiandong opened the disciple recruitment system.

When I saw the third disciple [He Yuzhu] shown above.

A satisfied smile also appeared on Li Jiandong's face.

After a while, Sha Zhu came out after finishing his meal.

Li Jiandong taught him military boxing directly in the yard.

Starting from the starting position, let him practice it over and over again until he memorizes it, and at the same time explain to him the advantages and key points of these movements.

These were the things he learned during military training in school, and he had almost forgotten them.

However, as Sha Zhu made little progress and received a hundredfold return, Li Jiandong's military boxing memories were all revived.

I even realized some key points that I had never realized before.

"The left hand should always be clenched into a fist and placed next to the chin. This not only allows you to punch as quickly as possible at any time, but also allows you to use your left fist to block and protect the vital parts of your neck and chin."

Li Jiandong taught seriously and Sha Zhu studied even more seriously.

Jia Zhang sat at the door and watched the fun.

Seeing Sha Zhu curled up like a shrimp, she laughed and said, "Sha Zhu, why don't you learn something else from Li Jiandong? What's the point of learning martial arts?"

"Nowadays, everyone fights with guns. You've been shot before you even run over. Besides, the Japanese have been driven away. Wouldn't it be stupid for you to learn martial arts?"

Sha Zhu was practicing martial arts seriously. Even though he was dissatisfied with what Jia Zhang said, he did not open his mouth to refute.

Instead, Li Jiandong said to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law, that's not the way to say it. Although there are no devils now, there are still many traitors and spies. Daqing and Zhuzi are the father and son who are the healthiest in our courtyard. If anything happens, we may have to rely on them to protect us."

Jia Zhang thought the same and immediately put away her sarcastic thoughts.

In the next room, Yi Zhonghai sneered with disdain.

I thought to myself, even if there were enemy spies, they would not come to our shabby courtyard, because the enemy spies are targeting important people.

Who would pay attention to you, an eighth-level fitter?

Don't flatter yourself too much.

Shazhu is indeed not stupid, and he has a high level of comprehension.

Li Jiandong taught him for an hour.

The starting move and the first three moves of military boxing were taught to Sha Zhu. After the teaching, Sha Zhu was able to perform them quite well.

Although it is not difficult to learn these movements, it is very difficult to achieve effective results.

When Li Jiandong was in college, he spent two weeks learning only some fancy moves, which were completely different from Sha Zhu's powerful military boxing.

After returning home, Li Jiandong checked the harvest first.

In addition to upgrading his fighting skills from scratch to level one, he also gained additional physical strength, which surprised Li Jiandong very much and made him happier than giving him a hundred times the return of one hundred yuan a day.

the next day.

After getting up in the morning, Li Jiandong continued to teach Sha Zhu the fourth to sixth moves of military boxing.

Before he went to work, I wished him well: "Zhu Zi, you should practice boxing well at home, and when you are familiar with it, think about how to use it in practical situations.

But you must remember that you must not use it on anyone in our courtyard, especially not on Xu Damao."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "Master, I understand. Even if Xu Damao provokes me, I won't use the military boxing to beat him up."

Li Jiandong was speechless: "It's not just the military boxing, other boxing is not working, and using your feet is not working either."

Sha Zhu said "oh" and thought to himself, since I can't use my fists or feet, then it should be okay for me to use Iron Head Kung Fu, right?

After being tortured by He Daqing for many years, Sha Zhu's mind has not yet been fully formed. It has to be said that he is indeed a little dull sometimes.

Came to the steel rolling mill.

As usual, Li Jiandong went to the workshop first to see if there were any work arrangements for the day.

Then, he went to the maintenance warehouse and started tinkering with the other two trucks and his ultimate goal, the pickup truck.

With previous experience, repairing the remaining two trucks was much easier.

It only took Li Jiandong two days to repair both trucks and the trailer.

Although it is still not suitable for road transportation, it is more than enough to be used as a training vehicle.
Finally check the two trucks and the car to make sure they are repaired.

Li Jiandong found Director Yang and said, "Director Yang, the two trucks that were to be scrapped have also been repaired."

Director Yang stood up happily and said, "Great, great, our steel rolling mill is lucky to have a talent like Jiandong."

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "Director Yang, there is another truck waiting to be scrapped in the repair warehouse. Did you know that?"

"I have used my rest time these days to repair that rickshaw. Although the failure rate is still quite high, it should be fine for simple running. Do you think we can use this rickshaw as well?"

Director Yang said indifferently, "You mean that bike? It was my replacement bike when I was deputy director. It broke down all the time, leaving me stranded on the road several times, and I had to walk back home. Since it breaks down so often, it can't continue to be my replacement bike. If you like it, just ride it yourself."

This is exactly the result Li Jiandong wanted.

He deliberately said that the failure rate was quite high in order to get Director Yang to hand over the machine to him.

In fact, after his repairs, the car has been completely renovated.

"Okay, then I'll just ride it first, and I'll study it more when I have nothing to do."

Li Jiandong said goodbye and left, and after walking out of the office building, he jumped up with a roar.

In this age when even bicycles are very rare, owning a scooter is really awesome.

Insert the key and start the car.

Amid the sound of exhaust, Li Jiandong came to a workshop.

The workers in the workshop heard the exhaust sound and looked through the gate.

Li Jiandong rode a scooter and stopped outside the workshop.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Jia Dongxu even ran out of the workshop and asked excitedly, "Master, have you really fixed this thing?"

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "He's just a kid. Don't forget, your master can even repair a truck." Director Cao and others were envious and convinced at the same time.

If Li Jiandong hadn't repaired it, his life would have been taken away in the end.

After get off work in the evening, Li Jiandong rode his scooter home.

Jia Dongxu sat behind him, and Yan Jiecheng sat in the small carriage on the right.

Many people turned their heads to look at Li Jiandong riding on the rickshaw along the way. The workers looked at him with stars in their eyes. Many workers envied his two apprentices, Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng. If they were Li Jiandong's apprentices, they could also sit in the rickshaw now.

Yan Bugui was on his way home from get off work. Just as he reached the front door, he heard a puffing sound coming from outside the alley.

Yan Bugui turned around, but before he could see who it was, a rickshaw stopped in front of him. He was so frightened that he quickly stepped aside.

When he saw the driver clearly, he was also shocked:

"Li Jiandong, where did you get this bike? Oh, this is a good thing. It can't be from your factory. Why did you ride the factory's bike back home?"

At this time, Yan Jiecheng and Jia Dongxu also jumped out of the car.

Yan Jiecheng said, "Dad, this is a scrap car that Director Yang specially approved for my master to use. My master and I repaired it together."

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "That's great, Jie Cheng. You have become more capable following your master."

The gate of the courtyard has a threshold, so a bicycle can be carried in by one person, but this cart weighs several hundred pounds, so it is definitely impossible for one person to move it.

But who can blame Li Jiandong for having so many disciples?

Jia Dongxu called Sha Zhu, and Yan Jiecheng, the three of them each grabbed a wheel and forcibly carried the cart into the yard.

Then, a simple carport was built behind the screen wall of the gate.

This way, you won't have to worry about getting wet in the rain when you park your car inside.

The residents in the yard returned home one after another. As soon as they saw these rare things after entering the door, they stopped to admire them. The women also came out of their homes after cooking to see the novelty.

Yan Bugui kept wiping the car with a rag.

Although this thing is not his, he is happy to touch it.

Maybe I could get some help from Li Jiandong and sit with him, which would make my life complete.

Liu Haizhong walked back slowly, and when he saw the bird stopped behind the screen wall, his face was filled with envy.

He asked Yan Bugui, "Is this the scrapped car that Lao Li repaired? Lao Li's craftsmanship is really amazing. The car looks just like a new one after it was repaired. It will be even more perfect if we add some LAC oil."

Liu Haizhong was amazed in admiration, and Yi Zhonghai, who came back just after him, also wanted to go up and take a look.

Unfortunately, my relationship with Li Jiandong is not very harmonious, and I always feel that I am inferior to him when I look at his car.

So he pretended to be uninterested and went back to the middle courtyard.

Li Jiandong was already having dinner at this time.

After dinner, I asked Sha Zhu to practice boxing.

He Daqing joked, "Old Li, given our relationship, if I were to borrow from you, would you lend me your son?"

Li Jiandong also smiled and said, "Why can't I borrow this? But you have to guarantee two things."

He Daqing asked curiously, "Which two points? Tell me first."

Li Jiandong raised a finger and said, "First of all, this car is not mine, but our factory's. If you want to use it, you have to apply for it at the factory first."

He Daqing nodded: "What about the second one?"

"The second is don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking, and you must not drink a single drop of alcohol on the day you borrow the car."

As soon as Li Jiandong made this request, He Daqing wilted on the spot.

It's easy to apply to the factory, but it's impossible to ask him to not drink for a meal.

"Forget it, I've been living on this wine my whole life. If I don't drink, what's the point of living?"

He Daqing waved his hand, giving up the idea of ​​borrowing the car.

In fact, Li Jiandong is not stingy, nor is he reluctant to lend money to others.

It’s just that He Daqing loves drinking so much that he drinks every meal.

Because of this, he missed several dinners hosted by his leaders. If something really happened while riding his bike, Li Jiandong would feel uneasy even if he was not responsible.

Seeing that He Daqing had stopped, Li Jiandong continued to teach Sha Zhu military boxing.

"Zhu Zi, how was your military boxing training yesterday?"

Sha Zhu said excitedly: "Master, I found this military boxing to be amazing. I practiced it for a day today and I feel my boxing skills have improved a lot. Many of my previous random moves are now more standardized."

Li Jiandong nodded. This is the power of the disciple-recruiting system.

Ordinary people learn things very quickly.

However, it is difficult to remember what you have learned or even to understand it thoroughly.

The apprenticeship system can immediately remember what a person has learned.

It was for this reason that Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng were able to complete their mission so quickly.

Li Jiandong was checking Sha Zhu's military boxing when suddenly a commotion was heard coming from the backyard.

Li Jiandong asked Sha Zhu to stop for a while, and he walked towards the archway in the backyard.

Passed the arch.

Li Jiandong saw that the commotion came from Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard.

The voice shouting from Liu Haizhong also became very clear: "Guangqi, hurry up and call a taxi. Your mother is about to give birth. Hurry, hurry, hurry..."

Liu Haizhong was sweating profusely due to anxiety.

When Liu Guangqi saw the blood and water flowing out of his mother's trouser legs, he turned pale with fright.

He didn't hear a word Liu Haizhong said to him.

At this time Li Jiandong suddenly rushed in.

"Lao Liu, there's no need to call a taxi. We have our own car."

Li Jiandong slapped Liu Guangqi hard on the neck and shouted, "Guangqi, wake up! Go to the middle courtyard and find Shazhu and Dongxu. Carry the kid out first. Your father and I will carry your mother out right away."

Liu Guangqi came to his senses after being slapped.

He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go now."

With that, he ran out.

Li Jiandong quickly walked to Liu Haizhong's side, looked down and saw that Hu Guiying's amniotic fluid had broken. She was holding her stomach in pain, not caring about anything else.

He reached out and grabbed Hu Guiying's legs, and said to Liu Haizhong, "Old Liu, why are you still standing there? This is a matter of life and death. Hurry up and lift her onto the couch."

"Ai, okay."

Liu Haizhong put his hands under Hu Guiying's armpits, and he and Li Jiandong carried her out, one in front and one behind.

Other people in the yard also came out to watch the fun.

Liu Guangqi and his companions had already moved the baby out. Li Jiandong and Liu Haizhong carefully put Hu Guiying into the right compartment.

Li Jiandong rode on the motorcycle, with Liu Haizhong sitting behind him, and drove towards the hospital.

More than an hour later, Hu Guiying successfully gave birth to her third child.

The doctor came out of the delivery room and lectured Liu Haizhong, "How can you take care of your wife? Don't you know that you need to be hospitalized for check-ups before the due date? Fortunately, you came in time today. If you were half an hour later, both the adult and the child would be in danger."

Liu Haizhong bowed his head repeatedly: "Thank you, doctor. The previous two children were born after the due date. Who knew that this time it would be several days early. It's my fault. I will pay attention next time."

Seeing that he was sincere, the doctor said nothing more.

After everyone left, Li Jiandong and Liu Haizhong entered the obstetrics ward together, and then Hu Guiying was pushed out of the delivery room.

The young nurse shouted to the people waiting in the ward, "Who is Hu Guiying's family member? Come over and help lift the pregnant woman."

"I, I, I'm here."

Liu Haizhong ran over with his hands raised, and Li Jiandong also went over to lend a hand.

After the patient was carried to the bed, Hu Guiying said to Li Jiandong with gratitude: "Old Li, I really want to thank you this time. Fortunately, you rode your scooter to bring me here. If you had come to the hospital later, I really don't know what the consequences would have been."

Liu Haizhong also realized it belatedly and said to Li Jiandong: "Old Li, I don't need to thank you for your kindness. From now on, my youngest son is also your son. Whether in the yard or in the factory, just tell me if you have any questions."

Li Jiandong thought to himself, I have no interest in your youngest son.

However, Li Jiandong would definitely not say such words. He stayed in the hospital for a while and then left.

By the time Li Jiandong left, it was already dark.

Li Jiandong returned to the courtyard, and everyone in the courtyard seemed to be concerned about asking how Old Liu's wife was doing.

Li Jiandong said perfunctorily, "Mother and child are well." What the hell is this?
