Chapter 14: Bold Predictions at the Dinner Table
"It's easier said than done."

Although Zhu Jiansheng had never worked at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, it was extremely difficult for Jiang Hui, a newcomer, to push for the modification of BJ212.

“It’s not as difficult as I imagined.”

"As long as the gearbox is upgraded from 3MT to 4MT, the engine is upgraded from a carburetor engine to an electronic fuel injection engine, the leaf spring is upgraded to a McPherson independent suspension, and the interior and exterior decoration are upgraded, the overall comfort and operability will be greatly improved."

"Of course, it's difficult to make such a big change at once."

"For example, if the electronic fuel injection engine cannot be fixed for the time being, it can be modified later. Change the other parts first."

Jiang Hui actually has a relatively clear upgrade plan for BJ212.

Ever since he decided to join the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, he had already given this issue some serious thought.

If you want to achieve something, starting from this aspect is faster and more noticeable.

After all, in this era, only county and regiment-level cadres can ride on BJ212. As long as they have the experience, many people will definitely pay attention to these changes.

By then, Jiang Hui's reputation as the solution outputter will surely become well-known within the system.

"You are going in the right direction, but it is still difficult to implement it in a short period of time."

“You can consider starting with some smaller details that your factory or supporting suppliers can easily accept.”

Zhu Jiansheng obviously has much richer life experience and knows how to achieve the best results.

Jiang Hui could naturally fully understand this.

"We finally got together to eat, so why not talk about work instead of talking about where we're going to go tomorrow?"

Seeing the two of them talking more and more excitedly, Zhu Lin felt a little unhappy.

It’s okay to just mention work matters.

Why do you still say you're addicted?
"Xiao Jiang will go to the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory for training next week. You can consider going to Xinhua Bookstore to see if there are any books related to factory management."

1978 was the year when Xinhua Bookstores across the country underwent a comprehensive overhaul, with remarkable results.

Some books that were not available in bookstores before are gradually appearing in front of everyone.

That’s why Zhu Jiansheng made such a suggestion.

"The Xinhua Bookstore in Dianhai District is right over there on North Street, so I can go shopping there in the morning, come back in the afternoon to take a nap, eat early in the evening, and then go back to the dormitory of the clinic."

Zhu Lin thought this was a good suggestion and immediately made arrangements for tomorrow.

Because the topic was to buy books for Jiang Hui, she felt there was no need to ask Jiang Hui whether he agreed.

If she bought it for herself, it would be different.

"Okay, we can go to Xinhua Bookstore and have a look."

Jiang Hui didn't think that he could buy any books related to TQC training in Xinhua Bookstore at this time, but his father-in-law was well-intentioned, and he also wanted to go to the bookstore to see what books were on sale.

There are fewer entertainment activities these days, so reading is a good choice.

Besides, he once thought about whether he could write some books to make some money.

He had hardly read the classic "scar literature" of the 1970s and 1980s since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't write any good articles.

So even though "Class Teacher" was so popular at the beginning of the year, he did not follow suit and write.

But he has read some classic novels or period TV dramas.

With his extraordinary memory, it is not impossible to publish these things.

By then, I can earn some extra money and don’t have to spend my wife’s money every day.

Especially since he has a strong appetite, he would definitely not be willing to compromise himself when seeing something delicious.

When he first traveled through time in 1976, he thought about making extra money.

However, upon inquiring, he found out that there was no payment for submitting articles to magazines or newspapers, or publishing novels, so his idea of ​​making extra money immediately died.

On October 1977, 10, the "Notice on the Trial Implementation of the Remuneration and Subsidy Methods for Press and Publication" officially restored the remuneration system that had been abolished for 12 years. Although the remuneration was still low, 2-7 yuan per thousand words for manuscripts and 1-5 yuan per thousand words for translations, and the remuneration was only calculated once per word, without paying for the number of copies.

But at least it makes it possible to earn royalties.

However, the wind direction at this time is still unclear, and Jiang Hui does not want to be convicted because of the article and get himself into trouble.

So for the next six months or so, he did nothing.

Now the situation is gradually becoming clearer and clearer, and some things can naturally be put on the agenda.

Since they had to ride their bikes home after dinner, the family ate quite fast.

Before eight o'clock in the evening, all the food and wine were finished.

I have to say that in this era, no matter who you are, your fighting ability at the dinner table is pretty good.

"I'm so full."

“It would be nice if we could eat like this once a week.”

Looking at the empty plates on the table, Zhu Lin touched his belly which had no fat at all and said something with emotion.

"You two have started a family now, so you can't spend money lavishly."

"It's okay to eat out occasionally, but it's not okay to spend money recklessly."

At this moment, Fang Zhen had completely forgotten how rude she was when ordering food tonight.

Instead, she gave her daughter instructions like an ordinary mother.

"A meal costs more than 20 yuan. Even if I want to spend money recklessly, I need to have that much money."

Zhu Lin felt that his mother had definitely wronged him.

She really wanted to say that it’s your son-in-law who loves to eat out the most, not me.

"During this period, many places have been discussing the issue of practice being the only criterion for testing truth. I think our country will soon undergo a huge transformation, and reform and opening up will be the trend of historical development."

"By then, people's living standards will continue to improve and all industries will flourish. That is inevitable."

"From now on, don't just say eat this once a week, it's fine to eat this every day."

"I'm afraid that by then, people will lose their appetite when they see meat and will want to try vegetables and tofu instead."

Zhu Lin took Jiang Hui's "truth" as just a way to coax himself.

However, her lover stood on her side and implicitly refuted her mother's words, so she was still very happy.

"How is that possible? Who wants to eat vegetables when there is meat to eat?"

Even though Zhu Lin is a girl, there is no one in this era who doesn't like to eat meat.

Not only do I like to eat meat, I also like to eat fatty meat.

This is completely different from later generations.

There's no way, there's too little oil in my stomach.

Even if you have money, you can't buy meat at will.

"Young man, what do you base your judgment on when you say that reform and opening up will be the trend of historical development?"

Before Jiang Hui could refute what Zhu Lin said, an old man in a Zhongshan suit popped up from the side.

Fang Zhen's expression immediately changed, and he said, "Young people are just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Although it was already July 1978, Fang Zhen was very sensitive having experienced that special time.

After saying this, she immediately pulled Zhu Jiansheng, looked at Zhu Lin and Jiang Hui, and said, "Let's go home quickly after we finish eating."
