Chapter 203 Five Years (Catching Bugs)
That day, after dinner, Rushan came to the old house.
Yan Jiuru was sitting on a small stool, rubbing the diapers of two little ones who could eat and poop.
"Hey, big brother is rubbing it himself?"
Yan Jiuru said disdainfully: "They are all drinking milk, why does this little thing poop so smelly? Tell me..."
"It's not like I haven't washed it before, and I haven't seen you look down on it before."
Rushan pinched his nose and moved away as he spoke.
Yan Jiuru snorted, "If you have the guts, don't hide. You're in luck, kid. Mom's gone to take care of her after she's gone, so you won't have to wash diapers or anything like that."
Last time, the second brother's family relied on Xiaojing's mother to take care of them during the confinement period. This time, Yan's mother-in-law insisted on taking care of them herself (mainly because she didn't want Xiaojing's mother's family to say anything behind her back in the future if she didn't take care of them twice).
His grandmother is so old, as long as he is at home, he must not let the old lady do anything.
Even Zhuangzhuang and the other two had been ordered to wash, but now as soon as they saw diapers in the basin, they all ran away tacitly. . . .
The marks left by the soft gold cannot be washed off this diaper in the washing machine. It must be washed by hand and rubbed vigorously.
"You didn't come here just to watch me wash diapers?"
Yan Jiuru washed the six diapers several times and hung them up to dry. She then washed her hands with soap two or three times before finishing.
Rushan squatted in front of her and watched, saying, "It's almost time for her to leave the confinement period. I heard from mother that you guys aren't planning on having a full-month banquet, so I wanted to know what's going on."
"About this," Yan Jiuru found a stool and threw it to his brother. The two brothers sat down to talk. "Your sister-in-law and I are not just holding a full-moon banquet."
"You know, we have to be careful about the impact. We say we don't accept gifts at the wedding banquet, but if we don't give them face when they give us gifts, it will look bad."
"But since I've already done the first three, it wouldn't make sense not to do these two. I figured I'd wait until the child turns one and there aren't as many people paying attention, so I'll just do a smaller one."
"You and Xiaojing, it's your turn. You need to reciprocate the gifts you gave away."
Rushan nodded, "Then, we will prepare on our own."
"By the way, has anything happened to your new factory? I've heard a lot of people talking about it lately."
It would have been fine if Rushan hadn't asked, but when Yan Jiuru asked, he shook his head: "The trademark and technical patent procedures for the Speedy Wound Patch have been completed, and the hospital trial is almost over. The report will be out in the next few days, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"But the Golden Shield fire trucks have been plagued by problems one after another," Yan Jiuru couldn't help but sigh, "Our country's industrial foundation is really too weak."
First, there was a shortage of high-strength steel for chassis manufacturing, as there was no suitable steel available in China.
When he first thought of making a fire truck, he did some research and knew that the yield strength of steel used in foreign fire truck production is at least 355MPA, which is not enough for ordinary domestic steel. However, the yield strength of high-strength steel used in tank production reaches 800MPA, which is sufficient based on the data.
But he never expected that after he finally got the so-called military-grade high-strength steel samples from special channels, he found after rigorous testing that they were completely unusable.
Due to the limitations of technology and equipment, domestically produced high-strength steel currently has serious defects, its purity is extremely unstable, and each batch of steel contains slightly different impurities, which affect the toughness and uniformity of the steel.
In terms of force, tanks only travel on the ground, while fire trucks need to be lifted to a certain height to bear the force. Not only does it require sufficient supporting force, but the anti-torsion force must also be strong enough, otherwise it is easy to overturn and cause a safety accident.
This is one.
Then we found that there were problems with the welding process.
The existing welding of high-strength steel is prone to cracking, mainly because the strength of the welding wire does not match the strength of the steel. In addition, the welding flux, arc and other equipment are also difficult to describe.
These defects may be barely acceptable for vehicles traveling on the ground, but they are absolutely unacceptable for fire trucks that often perform high-altitude operations.
Once a problem occurs, the consequences can be imagined.
Rushan said worriedly, "The factory has been built and a lot of people have been hired. If it can't be put into production..."
"At worst, I can open a welding materials factory!"
Yan Jiuru still couldn't believe it. It was so difficult for him to make a fire truck!
Rushan thought for a moment and said, "How did domestic fire truck factories overcome this problem before?"
Yan Jiuru smiled and said, "I don't need to overcome it at all."
Domestic fire truck manufacturers do not compare quality with foreign fire trucks. They just focus on using whatever they have.
Therefore, fire trucks in important places in big cities would rather purchase imported products at high prices because they know the quality level of domestic products.
The fire trucks produced by his factory have to compete with similar products from abroad, so he naturally creates difficulties for himself.
"Brother, if there's anything I can do for you, just let me know."
After all, we are a family. No matter how outsiders laugh at him, as his brother, we must support him!
Yan Jiuru patted his brother and said, "Don't worry, if I really need you, I won't hesitate to help you."
***
It's easier said than done, but overcoming these difficulties is not that easy.
From the time the children were born to the time they started to speak and were about to graduate from kindergarten, Yan Jiuru's Golden Shield fire trucks began to be mass-produced.
Before that, he had to set up a welding equipment factory to specialize in the production of high-quality welding rods, welding flux and other supporting products. He also set up a hydraulic and sealing parts factory to provide support for several of his vehicle factories.
Because domestic products do not meet the standards and imported products are very expensive, it is better to make them by ourselves in the long run.
We already have the welding rods, so we won’t need any seals or hydraulic pipes.
These are extremely difficult for others, and they are also difficult for Yan Jiuru, but they are all difficulties that can be overcome.
In addition, he also invested huge amounts of money to introduce complete sets of equipment and technologies to improve the quality of high-strength steel.
Of course, the huge amount of money he contributed only accounted for one-third of the total amount, and the other two-thirds came from Yancheng Steel Rolling Mill and state investment.
Otherwise, no matter how rich he is, he cannot afford such treatment.
Fortunately, after several years of hard work, whether it is welding rods, welding flux, hydraulic parts or seals, they are the only domestic products that can compete with or even surpass imported products. Since they were put into production, they have been in short supply both domestically and internationally.
With the support of these factories, at least his targeted donations to the country's high-tech weapons research and development will not be affected in the next few years.
Of course, it is mainly because he travels abroad twice a year and makes some money.
During this long process, many people laughed at him and were pessimistic about him. Even the suppliers he had originally agreed to supply changed their minds because they were worried that his factory would not be able to operate and they would not be able to pay him. . . .

"Alas, I've been busy for almost five years~"
After Yan Jiuru finished drinking the celebratory wine at the Golden Shield Factory, he went home and lay back on the sofa, feeling deeply moved.
Chen Yin held his head and fed him water. She poked him with her finger and said, "Let's see if you can keep making trouble in the future."
"Stop struggling~" Yan Jiuru said in a long tone.
"From now on, whoever wants to mess with me can do it, but we won't..." He waved his hand, and his meaning was understood before he finished speaking.
Chen Yin sat beside him, gently stroking his newly sprouted beard, feeling somewhat distressed: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. We are not young anymore, we are almost forty."
"Yeah, time flies by so fast. It seems like it was just yesterday when we first came to Beijing..."
. . . . . .
Seeing that he had fallen asleep, Chen Yin raised a finger and shushed the children, "Keep your voice down and go play in the main room. Don't disturb Daddy."
The children all tiptoed out, and Duobao wagged his tail and followed them quietly into the main room.
"Mom, is Dad okay?" Xiao Si and Xiao Wu came over and asked with concern.
"It's okay, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep. Have you both packed your bags? You can't be late for elementary school registration tomorrow. You have to get up when mom calls you."
Xiao Si and Xiao Wu looked at each other and said in unison: "Don't worry, Mom! But we are not sleepy yet."
"We want to wait for our brother and sister's call..."
Two years ago, Zhuangzhuang went to study abroad, and last year Jingjing and his sister also went to study abroad.
The children in my family have high IQ and EQ. They skipped grades in elementary and junior high school. If they hadn't been forced to attend high school for three years because they were too young, they would have gone to college early.
The originally lively home was indeed much quieter without three children. Fortunately, the fourth and fifth children had reached the age where people were annoying them. Even the old man and the old lady got a headache when they saw them.
The only ones who can calm them down are their father and sister.
Dad’s cold face really gives a feeling of oppression, and my sister really beats her brothers and sisters, and she is not ambiguous at all when teaching them a lesson!
Look, dad is asleep and sister is not around, so they started bargaining for a good night's sleep.
Can’t you control your own child?
Chen Yin didn't respond to this and instead said, "When my aunt gets married, only those who are obedient can be the flower girl..."
"I, I'll be obedient!"
"Go to bed right now!"
Little Four and Little Five were afraid that their mother would say something regretful, so they ran to their rooms to sleep.
"Tsk, little bastards, I can't cure you!"
Chen Yin smiled, stood up and went to check on the two old people's rooms. She picked up the kettle to see if there was enough hot water before quietly returning to her own room.
***
There have been several major events in my family in the past five years.
First, Rusong got married.
My wife is a beautiful Uyghur girl who is good at singing and dancing. Their first baby was born at the beginning of last year.
Next month, Ruyue is also getting married.
The man I'd been pursuing for years was the grandson of the Zhang family in the front yard. We'd watched him grow up, and we knew him inside and out. I'd originally planned to get married after medical school graduation, but Ruyue was already pursuing a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate, and I was worried that getting pregnant and having children after marriage would affect my studies. After all, medical students are really stressed out, so I had to postpone it until now.
Fortunately, the Zhang family is also willing. A daughter-in-law who is a doctor of medicine is definitely worth waiting for!
In the next two days, my parents-in-law will rush back from my hometown to take care of the wedding, and before the end of the month, relatives from my hometown will also come over.
Thinking of this, Chen Yin opened the cabinet and found a pair of fine green floating flower bracelets and a pair of solid gold bracelets among the dazzling array of jewelry. She wrapped them up with velvet cloth and prepared to give them to her sister-in-law as a wedding gift.
In the past two years, jade and jadeite jewelry have become popular both at home and abroad. The prices of emerald and glass-type jewelry are getting higher and higher, even exceeding those of pure gold jewelry.
Both of them expressed their support for their younger brother-in-law's marriage, and even the eldest sister-in-law made up for it later, so naturally the youngest sister-in-law was not left out either.
Even though Chen Yin rarely wears jewelry at work, she is never short of these things.
The main reason is that Yan Jiuru always adds to her.
When it was not popular outside, Yan Jiuru brought home boxes of various exquisite jades, jadeite, corals, and many other materials that she doesn't even recognize now.
Not to mention gold.
Chen Yin has a relatively conservative view on jewelry. In addition to its decorative function, she values its value preservation more. So, she first picked out a pair of beautiful jadeite and then picked out a pair of gold bracelets for her sister-in-law.
Whether it is jade or jadeite, if you exchange it when you need money urgently, the price will definitely be bargained down. Pure gold bracelets can be used directly as money.
These cannot be given until too close to the wedding date. Send them early so that your sister-in-law can refer to them and prepare a few more pieces when she buys wedding jewelry.
Of course, as the sister-in-law's parents, the parents-in-law have naturally saved a lot of dowry over the years, and the grandparents have naturally expressed their gratitude, but the feelings of the eldest brother and sister-in-law are another matter.
