After waking up, I felt refreshed. When I went downstairs, I didn't see Yan Rushan; only Haonan and Tian Shangguo were in the hall.
"Good afternoon, Comrade Zhong." Hao Nan said.
Zhong Yuxiu forced a smile and said, "Good afternoon. Comrade Yan is not here?"
"No." Hao Nan stood up and replied, "Do you have something to talk to Comrade Yan about?"
Tian Shangguo turned his eyes away, really unable to bear to watch, "Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan may not be able to come due to something, should we go to school now?"
"Not yet." He felt disappointed, but after a while, he suppressed his emotions. "Comrade Haonan, could you please go to the Yan family and see if Mr. Yan is here? If he is, please ask when the parts, tools, and casing I need can be completed."
Haonan nodded and turned away.
Tian Shangguo said, "Comrade Zhong, aren't you going to school today?"
"Not for now, I'll go in the evening." There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so if she went there she would just sit and read. There were no classes assigned to her, and there was no specific description of her work. She was just said to be helping Professor Ding. Professor Ding liked to do small things himself and didn't need her at all.
In her current position, she cannot interfere in major matters.
The two waited in the hall for a long time but Haonan didn't come back. Zhong Yuxiu looked at the time and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Comrade Tian, I'm going upstairs first. If Comrade Haonan comes back, have him come find me."
"good."
After getting the answer, Zhong Yuxiu went back upstairs, pushed the door open, closed it, and went straight to the laboratory.
"Goudan, where are the blueprints for my range hood?"
"Dear Master, your blueprint is in the drawer." Goudan removed the charging cable, walked to the computer desk, opened the second drawer, pulled out a blueprint from the bottom, and handed it to her with both hands, "Master, your blueprint."
"Thank you." He took the blueprint, spread it out on the table, and finished the unfinished part. After much deliberation, he reworked it, and the final result was a small wall-mounted machine. Calculations showed that it could be as small as fifteen inches, with all the latest built-in equipment. If it could be developed, it would definitely be able to withstand the wear and tear of range fumes.
Everyone here was concentrating, and downstairs, Haonan led Yan Guofeng, his grandson, and a middle-aged man to the Zhong family.
When Tian Shangguo saw the person, he immediately saluted, "Hello, Mr. Yan."
"Hello, too." Yan Guofeng had a kind face and was not at all arrogant. "We are here to see Comrade Zhong. I wonder if Comrade Zhong is free now?"
"Comrade Zhong didn't know you were coming. Please take a seat in the hall." Tian Shangguo's eyes turned and fell on Hao Nan's face. "Comrade Hao, Comrade Zhong asked you to go upstairs to find her when you come back."
Haonan understood and said to Tian Shangguo, "I understand. You entertain Mr. Yan and this comrade. I'll go and invite Comrade Zhong."
The comrade mentioned is a middle-aged man who followed.
"Okay." Tian Shangguo agreed.
Haonan turned his head and said, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
"It's okay. It's not a neglect. Please ask Comrade Zhong to come down and get to know Comrade Xi Nian." Led by Tian Shangguo, Yan Guofeng and the other two entered the hall and sat down on the sofa. Hao Nan, who followed closely behind them, turned and went upstairs.
The second floor was quiet, and even though Haonan tried to walk softly, he could still hear slight sounds.
It was these slight noises that made Goudan sense his arrival at the first moment; Goudan looked at his master, the drawings had been completed, and she was still thinking about the feasibility of various aspects of the blueprint and whether there was any need for modification.
"Master, Haonan is coming up."
"Hmm?" Zhong Yuxiu regained consciousness and sealed away all thoughts in her mind. "Haonan is here?"
Goudan responded, "Yes, Master, almost to the door."
"Go open the door."
"Yes, Master."
Goudan walked away, and Zhong Yuxiu rolled up the drawings on the table and put them back into the drawer.
“Knock knock knock…”
As soon as Haonan knocked on the door, Goudan reached out and opened it. Haonan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Goudan, it's you! I'm here to see Comrade Zhong."
"I'm here." Zhong Yuxiu walked out of the laboratory and stopped in front of the door. "Comrade Haonan, what did Elder Yan say?"
"Old Master Yan said the things are ready and will be delivered in the evening." He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, Old Master Yan is here too, accompanied by Comrade Yan Rushan and a man named Xi Nian. Old Master Yan asked you to go down and meet him."
Suddenly I remembered that Yan Rushan said that he could not continue to do the contact work and someone would take over.
"I understand. I'll be right down. You and Comrade Tian will entertain Mr. Yan first."
"Yes." Haonan saluted and turned to go downstairs.
Zhong Yuxiu returned to the laboratory, opened the drawer and took out the blueprints. She turned around and followed him in, saying, "Goudan, it's time to make dinner. Let's make the soup."
"Okay, master, Goudan will go with you." Goudan said in a flat voice, turning sideways and waiting for her to go ahead.
"Let's go." She took the blueprint in her hand and led Goudan downstairs. Seeing Yan Guofeng drinking hot tea at the stairs, Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Yan Guofeng turned his head and saw the roll of paper in her hand. He smiled broadly and said, "I just got here too. I'm sorry to bother you with your research."
"That's serious." He walked down the stairs and briskly to the sofa to sit down. Goudan went to the kitchen. Zhong Yuxiu opened the blueprint and handed it to the old man. "Mr. Yan, this is the blueprint I just finished. Can you take a look and see if it can be made? If it can be made, I want to be the first to install it."
"Let me take a look." With a new research direction, Yan Guofeng didn't care about Comrade Xi Nian who was sitting next to him; he took the glasses handed to him by his eldest grandson and put them on, then picked up the drawings from the table. He couldn't understand them, so he could only conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the part names and data given by Zhong Yuxiu to determine whether they could be manufactured with current technology.
After reading it, Yan Guofeng took off his glasses and pondered alone.
Zhong Yuxiu didn't interrupt. After waiting for a while, Yan Guofeng raised his eyelids and slowly said, "Comrade Zhong, I've looked at the parts data you provided. We can make it, but it may take a while. We will work hard on it."
Still need to research? She has simplified it as much as possible, so it shouldn't be difficult to make.
I sighed, after all, technology is still too backward.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't understand, please ask someone to ask me."
"With your help, they should be able to move faster." Yan Guofeng's anxiety eased when Zhong Yuxiu offered to help him for the first time. "But what's the use of this thing?"
"It's not very useful, it's only used to extract kitchen fumes."
Yan Guofeng: “….”
"Ahem." Yan Rushan intervened, "Grandpa, I do know a little about the range hood Comrade Zhong mentioned. It's used to extract the smoke and dust from cooking. You don't know if you don't cook, but cooking produces a lot of smoke. If there's no isolation, the smell of the smoke will stick to you after you finish cooking, which is really unpleasant."
