In the early morning, An Zhong woke up and called his youngest son out of bed to prepare to go to the market.

When he heard that he was going to buy meat, his youngest son jumped up immediately and quickly put on his clothes.

The wife is cleaning up in the house and preparing breakfast.

The two men had a drink and went out early, while the woman led the children around.

Before noon, the father and son came back, but seeing their hands empty and the unhappy look on the younger son's face, the wife knew that they were late.

Towns and villages are like this, there are not many supplies, and sometimes even if you have money and tickets, you can't buy anything.

The younger son walked into the house, looking reluctant.

An Zhongsheng could only comfort him, saying he would buy it tomorrow, and then gave his wife a wry smile.

"I'll go to the grain store later and get next month's food supply."

When the wife saw that she couldn't buy any meat, she had no choice but to go get food.

An Zhongsheng nodded.

Bump.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the two looked at each other.

The wife looked at the noodle vat at the bottom and shook her head helplessly.

Most of the people who come during this time are looking for food.

But his family didn't have any extra food.

The knocking on the door continued, not loudly, as if he was still hesitating.

An Zhongsheng took a deep breath, finally walked to the door and asked softly, "Who is it?"

At the same time, prepare to open the door.

Just the next second, the person who heard the sound shouted loudly, "Teacher An!"

After An Zhongsheng heard this, he quickly opened the door and was stunned when he saw clearly who was coming.

There were two people standing at the door, one tall and one short, both young people.

The lower one looks a little familiar.

"Are you Junming?"

An Zhongsheng asked hesitantly.

"Yes, yes, Teacher An, I am Li Junming!"

"Quick, come in quickly."

An Zhongsheng immediately smiled and said, "I received your letter last night and saw you today. It's really..."

An Zhongsheng was a little excited and did not forget to greet his wife in the room, "We have guests, prepare more food."

When the wife came and saw two young men walking in, she was stunned on the spot without saying anything.

An Zhongsheng also realized something was wrong at this time. He saw the young man behind Li Junming walking in the door, carrying a large piece of pork in one hand and a bag of flour in the other hand. It looked like it weighed more than thirty kilograms, and it was quite difficult to carry it.

Seeing that the two were surprised, Li Junming hurriedly introduced, "Teacher An, this is my classmate Li Lei, who is also a technician at Hongxing Steel Plant."

"Hello, Teacher An!" Li Lei greeted with a smile.

An Zhongsheng reacted and realized the purpose of the two people's coming.

only...

“So much meat!”

There was a sound of surprise in the room behind her, and the wife quickly turned around, glared, and drove her two sons back into the room.

An Zhongsheng reacted and hurriedly said, "Hello, hello. Welcome, welcome."

With that said, he invited the two of them into the house.

Li Lei winked at Li Junming, and the two of them understood each other tacitly, but secretly gave Li Lei a thumbs up.

Judging from the children's reactions just now, this is almost done.

When the two came to the house, An Zhongsheng asked them to sit down and started making tea.

"Teacher An, please stop working. We can just drink water."

"Yes, Teacher An, we can't bear this!"

"If you can't bear it, you are a guest. You can just sit down."

After An Zhongsheng finished speaking, he went to wash the cup.

On the other side, the wife was in trouble again, should I cut the meat?

Seeing the eager and unwilling expressions on the children makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Dad, why don't you cut it into a small piece and let them take the rest back?"

An Zhongsheng washed the cup, looked at three pairs of longing eyes after hearing this, and finally nodded.

The children immediately started laughing.

"Teacher An, you don't have to think too much, this is just for you."

I don't know when, but Li Junming came to the front and saw the previous scene in his eyes.

"Junming, the teacher is very pleased that you came to see me. The things are too valuable, so you can take them back to your family."

"Teacher An, I didn't buy these things."

Li Junming shook his head, and Li Lei stepped forward and said, "Teacher An, we are here on behalf of the Red Star Steel Plant to invite you to guide the work."

An Zhongsheng remained silent.

The wife next to her also nervously grasped the kitchen knife and moved the meat away.

Seeing this, Li Lei began to introduce Hongxing Steel Factory.

"Teacher An, you may not have heard of the Hongxing Steel Factory, but you must have heard of the Hongxing Machinery Factory!"

"Red Star Machinery Factory, the one in the tractor formation a few days ago!"

An Zhongsheng raised his head and asked.

"Yes, let's go to that one. Machinery factory is the general name. There are many factories below, such as chemical factories, machine repair shops, and our steel factory..."

Li Lei gave an overview of the situation, and An Zhongsheng understood the situation and no longer looked down upon him.

Even if it is just a branch of the machinery factory, it is better than his current workplace.

"Teacher An, now we have started to transform the converter." After Li Lei finished speaking, Li Junming then spoke. The two of them cooperated one from the overall situation and the other from the professional side. This was also a plan that had been arranged long ago.

Sure enough, when talking about the converted converter, An Zhongsheng didn't care about washing the cups and just found a brick to sit down on. The two of them did the same.

"Have you started the transformation? What are you going to do?"

"We want to improve a small converter with side-blown air. Let's make a model first..."

"This is a good idea!"

"But there are also many problems..."

The three of them communicated at the side. Li Lei added a few words from time to time, talking about the importance of his superiors, especially when it came to Yang Xiaotao. He even explained everything about the organization of the R&D department, so that An Zhongsheng could understand that Yang Xiaotao was really serious.

Want to change the current situation of steel plants.

"Teacher, we have the biggest problem now."

At the end, Li Junming spoke solemnly.

"you say."

"Mr. Yang said that if the model is successful, it means that this method is feasible, so large-scale open-hearth furnaces need to be modified. We have not been involved in this aspect."

"I remember that you once visited the Alliance for inspection, so I came here to ask for your help."

After hearing this, An Zhongsheng stood up abruptly, with a confident look on his face, "Let's go, follow me."

Walking quickly towards the house, Li Lei looked at each other and smiled, then quickly followed.

In the house, An Zhongsheng opened a wooden box, which contained books wrapped in newspapers.

An Zhongsheng carefully stroked the cover and fell into memories.

After a long time, he smiled at the two of them and found a blueprint inside.

"This is a scene I saw when I went to the Alliance many years ago. I later wrote it down. Their furnace can produce 100 tons of steel, and they use this design."

After hearing this, Li Junming immediately opened the drawings. There were many small drawings inside, which were thick. Each one was filled with drawings, and some were even filled with numbers.

The two of them watched carefully, while An Zhongsheng explained and supplemented.

"Teacher An."

Li Junming suddenly spoke solemnly, and An Zhongsheng raised his head to look at him.
