Qiao Weiguo was tricked by Old Man Qiao into going to the boiler room. At first, he was very depressed.

In his opinion, the boiler room was just a place where boilers were burned, so what future could it have?

Technology cannot be learned!

I can’t manage my connections.

Every day I can only watch over the boiler and get covered in dust and dirt with the old master who is also wasting his time.

However, when Qiao Weiguo actually went to the boiler room, he realized that he was wrong.

What era is this?

The sixties!

An era that emphasizes dedication, sacrifice, and advocates "being willing to be a cow for the children"!

Even the leaders of the unit don’t eat out every day.

Eating in the cafeteria is the way to go.

Some people are even reluctant to go to the cafeteria and bring food from home.

It’s not so bad in the summer, the food you bring in the morning can still be eaten at noon.

But when the weather is cold, steamed buns and cornbread are hard and cold, and are difficult to swallow.

If it is the coldest time of the year, even the soup will freeze.

In order to have something hot to eat, everyone would send their lunch boxes to the boiler room.

When Qiao Weiguo went to work in the boiler room, it was late autumn and the weather was starting to get cold.

Workers from various workshops come in and out every day, and directors, leaders, etc. also show up occasionally.

Qiao Weiguo: ...

In this small boiler room, I have more opportunities to meet leaders than in the workshop!

Great place!

Haha, old man Qiao thought he was "teaching a lesson" to Qiao Weiguo and pushed him into the pit.

Little did they know that this was putting Qiao Weiguo, who would later be called a "social terrorist", into "heaven".

Less than two months after arriving in the boiler room, Qiao Weiguo had gotten to know all the people, big and small, in the machinery factory.

They also establish a relatively close relationship with the specific person they choose.

for example--

"Mr. Su, bring another boxed lunch."

When it was almost noon, Qiao Weiguo "respectfully" invited the master to have lunch while he stayed to watch over the boiler.

Employees brought their lunch boxes to the boiler room one after another, and Qiao Weiguo greeted them politely or warmly.

Among these people, Qiao Weiguo was obviously more enthusiastic about Su Zhenhua.

"Um!"

Su Zhenhua is in his forties, with fair skin, regular features, black-framed glasses, and a head of messy, broken hair, but he does not look haggard or sloppy.

He is like a nobleman who is focused on technology. Even though he looks a little shabby, his eyes are filled with pure and burning light.

"Excuse me, Master Qiao!"

Su Zhenhua was wearing work clothes from a machinery factory, but he looked like a fashion designer.

He has a refined temperament and is very polite to Qiao Weiguo.

"Oh, Mr. Su, you are so polite. Just call me Xiao Qiao!"

Qiao Weiguo took the lunch box and helped put it on the pipe connected to the boiler, while chatting with Su Zhenhua with a smile.

"Engineer Su, you're a little late today. Is your work not going well?"

"To be honest, I'm not well educated, but I admire you, an elite with talent, skills, and a passion for serving the country."

Qiao Weiguo's words were not entirely compliments.

He really admires it.

Su Zhenhua is a member of the older generation of overseas students and owns his own technical patents abroad.

However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they heeded the call of the motherland and returned to their impoverished country without hesitation.

Su Zhenhua also donated all his family properties, leaving only a house for himself to live in.

...Qiao Weiguo could not make such a sacrifice.

But he would admire those who could do it.

In addition to admiration, Qiao Weiguo also has his own little thoughts.

Su Zhenhua is truly a technical expert and a man of many talents.

Just in terms of foreign languages, he is proficient in Russian, German and English.

If I could learn even a little bit from him, I would definitely benefit a lot.

Of course, the whole era was quite special, and knowing a foreign language was not necessarily a good thing.

But, this matter also depends on the person.

Su Zhenhua is a big capitalist with flaws in his identity.

Qiao Weiguo is not like that. He comes from several generations of poor peasants and has absolutely good roots.

If he learns a foreign language, he might become a special talent in the machinery factory.

In addition to studying, Qiao Weiguo also knew that Su Gong had two daughters.

The eldest daughter, Suanna, is nineteen years old and is attending college.

She is both talented and beautiful, and she is both beautiful and intelligent.

The natives of this era would look down on Suanna for her poor background.

But Qiao Weiguo, who came from the future, would not be so "short-sighted".

The daughters of capitalists are not comparable to the rich second generation and beautiful girls of later generations.

The Su family is a prominent family, and Su Anna should be considered a "daughter of a noble family"!

In later generations, a person with such a background would be a goddess that Qiao Weiguo could never reach.

With many little thoughts in mind, Qiao Weiguo was particularly attentive to Su Zhenhua.

Su Zhenhua is a tech geek who seems a bit out of touch with the world.

But he was not stupid and could feel Qiao Weiguo's enthusiasm.

However, Su Zhenhua did not think much about it and just thought that Qiao Weiguo was really eager for knowledge and admired talents.

For such studious people, intellectuals like Su Zhenhua all have the habit of "teaching others".

"You want to learn a foreign language?"

Su Zhenhua is pure and direct, and doesn't know how to be euphemistic.

Qiao Weiguo: ...

Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still nodded vigorously, "I want to!"

"Okay! I'll find time to teach you. Also, I have some books and notes at home, you can also take them to read and memorize more!"

Su Zhenhua did not despise Qiao Weiguo because he was an apprentice boiler worker, but truly regarded him as a young man who loved learning.
