Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 101 Chen Dazhi's Birthday
As an old and well-known factory, the machinery factory is famous throughout the country!
After the "military-to-civilian" transformation, factories across the country were seeking reforms and solutions, and naturally, countless eyes were staring at the machinery factories, wanting to see what they could come up with.

Chen Luyang couldn't even imagine how much excitement everyone would have when the car appeared in front of them!!!
As Friday night approached,

In preparation for the National Machinery and Heavy Machinery Exhibition the next day,
Deputy Director Yu generously paid out of his own pocket to book a table at an old restaurant, preparing to treat his colleagues in the workshop to a meal in the evening!

When Xiao Wu heard about this, he skipped lunch and decided to have a big meal in the evening.

After clearing the table, Chen Luyang said to Hao Fengchun:
"Uncle Hao, my dad's birthday is today, so I won't be attending dinner tonight. Could you please ask Deputy Director Yu for leave for me?"

Hao Fengchun was surprised: "Master Chen's birthday is today? Then go and give him a greeting for me."

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "I promise I'll get the message across!"

finished,

Chen Luyang happily rode his bike, bought two fish, and rushed back to the Chen family courtyard.

The Chen family courtyard was quite lively at this time.

As soon as they entered the door, Chen Lingling and Junjun started to put bowls and chopsticks and pickles on the dining table.

Chen's mother and Chen Lihong were cooking in the kitchen.
My brother-in-law Sun Zhigang came back with a few bottles of wine and two roast chickens and was busy working.

As the head of the family and the director of the forging workshop in the factory,

Every year on my birthday, many apprentices and factory workers would come to my home to congratulate me.

Once you come, you are a guest, so naturally you should stay and have dinner with us.

So gradually, whenever it was Chen's father's birthday, the Chen family would be even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

This year, not only Chen's father celebrates his birthday,

The car he participated in developing was successfully built, and when other factory directors saw him, they would say from the bottom of their hearts:
"Chen Dazhi is awesome!"

So Mr. Chen was extremely happy today.

After entering the house and washing his hands, Chen Luyang went to the kitchen to help his mother and sister.

Father Chen happily changed into new clothes early in the morning, holding the palm-leaf fan bought by his son in his hand, and the radio bought by his son was placed on the table. He sat happily beside the table in the yard, watching the whole family busying themselves for him.

"Wow! It's already October, and the fan is still on at home!"

Old Jintou walked in with wine in his hand and spoke the first sentence he said.

Father Chen said proudly: "There are so many people at home, it's too hot! Let's use a fan to cool down."

Old Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, everyone knows your son bought you an electric fan. Do you have the ability to turn it on in winter?"

Father Chen said happily: "When the door is blocked by heavy snow in winter, we have to rely on fans to blow the snow away!"

Old Goldhead: ...Okay! I can't continue chatting with this shameless guy.

He raised the Erguotou in his hand and said with a smile:

"Brother, this is just a small gift of two bottles of wine. Happy birthday to you! Don't be disgusted."

Father Chen took it cheerfully and said, "Look at you. We are not close friends at all. Why are you bringing anything when you're already here?"

"Come!! Sit down and have a drink with me!"

He was used to bickering with Old Jintou, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't communicate with him for a few words a day.

As he sat there, Old Jintou frowned and looked back at the fan:

"Old Chen, can you please turn off that broken fan of yours? It's making my back hurt!"

Father Chen generously took off his coat and said, "Put it on so that your waist won't be blown away."

Lao Jintou:......

While the two men were fighting, Yang Xiangyang and several workshop workers walked in happily carrying fruits and wine.

"Master, happy birthday!"

Most of these workers are Chen's father's apprentices, and some are representatives of Yang Xiangyang's apprentices. They all came to celebrate Chen's father's birthday.

As soon as I walked in,

Yang Xiangyang and a few others stood in front of the gate, staring at the photo on the door and said happily:
"This photo of Luyang really captures his spirit!"

Chen Luyang, who was carrying a plate of scrambled eggs with persimmons to the table: "..." Over!
How could I forget this?

Although it rained heavily the past two days,
But Chen's mother took several newspapers from Lao Tian in the mail room.

As soon as the rain stopped, I cut a new piece of newspaper and pasted it neatly on the door.

A group of people gathered at the gate, staring at the newspaper and saying happily:
"From a distance, I looked at what was posted on the door, and I didn't expect it to be Xiao Chen and Lu Yang."

"Haha, that's right. I was wondering why the Spring Festival couplets at Master's house were so unique. I never thought they were about Junjun and Luyang!"

"They say nephews look like their uncles, and looking at their eyebrows and eyes, they really do look alike..."

……

When Junjun heard someone praising him, he ran over happily and looked up to listen to the uncles' praise.

Only Chen Luyang went back to the kitchen awkwardly, and was determined not to go out again.

"Uncle Chen, happy birthday!"

When a group of people were chatting happily, Song Liaosha's voice was heard at the door.

Chen Luyang leaned out of the kitchen and saw Song Liaosha walking in with a beautifully packaged snack box.

"Hongjin hemp twist! Fresh!"

Song Liaosha walked into the yard happily, holding the big hemp twist in her hand.

"Da Mao is here too!"

Father Chen happily took the fried dough twist.

"My dad is at the factory and can't come over, so he asked me to bring you some good news!"

"That's too polite! Wash your hands and come over to eat a cucumber!"

"Oh! Uncle Chen, why are you being so polite to me? I'm going to help my brother Chen wash the sand apples."

Saying,

Song Liaosha walked to the water pipe, took the enamel basin and squatted on the ground to wash the sand apples.

He and Chen Luyang grew up together. He would come to Chen's house for dinner every now and then. It was like his second home.

Chen Luyang was not polite. Seeing Song Liaosha coming to help, he directly gave the basin to Song Liaosha.

After a while, more than a dozen dishes were served on the table, and all the enamel bowls, jars and small basins in the house were brought to the table.

Chen Lingling borrowed a few small wooden stools from the next door, and more than a dozen people squeezed in and sat around the dining table.
The adult's cup was filled with white wine, and Junjun's small cup was filled with kvass.

Everyone looked at Father Chen happily, and Old Goldenhead said with a smile:
"Old Chen, everyone's waiting for you to start eating! Bring a glass."

Father Chen blushed and said happily, "Then I'll raise a glass?"

Mother Chen still had an apron tied around her waist and looked at her husband with a smile:

"Mention one!"

"Okay, I'll say a few words!" Father Chen picked up his wine glass, looking melancholy.
"Actually, I don't like celebrating my birthday. Celebrating my birthday means I'm getting older and closer to retirement. I really haven't worked enough...!"

Before he finished speaking, Lao Jin cursed out:
"You can forget it,"

"All the workers in the factory are looking forward to your retirement and becoming a representative of advanced workers! And you still don't want to retire!!"

After saying that, everyone at the table laughed out loud.

Chen Dazhi said embarrassedly, "It's my fault. I have indeed won many honors over the years, especially affecting the development and progress of Comrade Jin Dakui."

"I'll find a way to correct this problem!"

"Thank you all for your care and support for me, Old Chen, over the years. I'd like to offer a toast to myself and wish myself a happy birthday. I also wish you all good health, success in everything, and that you all become pioneers!"

Chen Luyang listened happily and was the first to join in the fun, saying, "Thank you, Dad. Let's all be first!"

"Happy birthday, Dad!"
