Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 157 I also need to retain my youth

Chen Luyang: "This is great. I don't have to take an exam and can be transferred to the administrative position after taking a course."

Zhu Xinghuo was stunned, not knowing what he meant.

Could it be that this person also wants to leave the machinery factory and go to the government?
"Brother Chen, it's actually good to be able to stay in our factory. You are so young and you are already a senior technician. It's better to stay in the factory."

Chen Luyang was amused: "You think too much! I still have to take the college entrance exam next year!"

He now works in a workshop and receives a monthly salary as a senior technician.

I can get home in 10 minutes by bike every day, and go home to eat the meal my mother cooks in the evening.

If you want to study, the provincial university is right at the factory gate.

With such convenient conditions, he won’t take anything with him even if you ask him to leave!
Zhu Xinghuo said, "By the way, I gave you tickets for the product exhibition. Don't forget to bring your family."

"This exhibition is sponsored by the Economic and Planning Commission. I heard that there are many good things from various provinces in the booths."

"If you don't have enough tickets later, come find me."

"I have plenty of..."

……

When Chen Luyang returned home with three bottles of Yongfang Pearl Cream,
Chen Lingling was drawing a basin of water. She threw her two long braids in front of the basin and bent down to wash her face.

Chen Luyang approached with a wicked smile, grabbed Chen Lingling's braids one by one, and started shaking them in place.

Chen Lingling was furious: "Chen Luyang! Are you looking for a beating?"

Saying,

Chen Lingling pulled her right hand out of the basin, and with a flick of her fingers, a string of water droplets flew towards Chen Luyang's body.

"You little brat, you're still trying to use hidden weapons against your brother?!"

Chen Luyang was caught off guard and had water splashed in his face. He was just about to twist Chen Lingling's two braids together.

Finally, the elder sister Chen Lihong came out with water for washing feet.
"Second brother, you're messing around again!"

Seeing the elder sister, Chen Luyang quickly said seriously:
"No, I saw Xiaoling's braid was too long, almost dragging on the ground, so I wanted to pick it up for her so it wouldn't get dirty."

Saying,

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "Sister, have you washed your face? Da Song bought Yongfang Pearl Cream from the south. You can try it later!"

Pearl cream?
Chen Lingling looked up suddenly: "Where is it? I want to apply it too!!"

The weather is getting colder and my face is so dry.

Everyone in my family likes to apply gala oil after washing their face.

Although gala oil looks oily, it can actually make your face dry if you apply it on a windy day.

Chen Lingling is thin-skinned and has to cover her face with a scarf every morning when she goes to school.

I wiped my face carelessly.

Chen Lingling ran into the house, snatched the pearl cream from Chen Luyang's hand, and stood in front of the mirror hanging in the main room with her elder sister and started to rub it.

"Sister, how much of this thing can I use at a time?"

"I don't know either. Should I try it first?"

"...Okay, sister, this stuff is really good. My face becomes white after applying it. It feels better than gala oil!"

"Hey, don't say Xiaoling, it feels good after wiping it!"

"Sister! You didn't spread this evenly, it's not white at all. Try applying more!"

"Really? Which one?"

"Here! Come, let me wipe it for you!"

The two were chirping when Chen's mother lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"What are you two talking about here?"

Chen Lihong said happily, "Mom, Da Song brought back Yongfang Pearl Cream from the south. Xiaoling and I applied it and got really white! Do you want some too?!"

When Chen's mother heard that it was pearl cream, her eyes lit up immediately and she came over.

"How do you apply this stuff?"

"Come on, Mom! I'll fix it for you."

……

When Chen Luyang finished washing her face and entered the house,
He saw the two little sisters and their mother huddled together, their backs to him, admiring themselves in the mirror.

Chen Luyang said with a smile: "How about you guys wipe it? Can you give me some too?"

The weather nowadays is not as good as in summer. My face feels tight and peels easily after washing.

It's really uncomfortable if I don't wipe it with something.

Chen Lingling didn't even turn her head: "There's gala oil on the table, just wipe it off with the gala oil."

Chen Luyang raised his eyebrows: "Why did I become like gala oil?!"

Chen Lingling: "You have thick skin, so a little bit of oil will be enough. Besides, this pearl cream is for us little girls, you're wasting it!"

Chen Luyang: "How can I be considered thick-skinned?! During those ruthless years, my tender skin was also tortured."

"I also want to retain my youth and beauty. I'll use Yongfang F Pearl Cream!"

The two people were bickering.
Mother Chen felt sorry for her son and turned around to hand the pearl cream to Chen Luyang: "Okay, I'll put some on you."

Chen Luyang was about to reach out to take it, but the next moment, when he saw Chen's mother's face,
Chen Luyang gasped and almost fainted from fright!
I saw that Chen's mother's face was pale. Except for her eyes, which were black, even her lips were white!
then,

Chen Lingling and Chen Lihong also turned around.
Three large, white-washed faces looked at him together.
Before Chen Luyang could react, his father, who had just returned home from get off work, cried out:
"what?"

After seeing that it was Chen's mother, Chen Lihong, and Chen Lingling, Chen's father touched his fragile heart and said angrily:

"Why did you do this to your face? It's scary!"

"Wash it off quickly!"

Chen Lingling refused: "You can't wash this off!" "This stuff is precious. It's the pearl cream my brother Song brought back from the south. It makes your skin smooth and white after you apply it on it. Dad, why don't you wash your face and apply this on too?"

Father Chen refused frantically: "I won't do this, it's like a demon!"

however,
Chen's father's protest did not cause any disturbance at home, not even the slightest!

The female comrades, headed by Chen's mother, have always held a decisive position in the family.

The two beloved daughters were not Chen Luyang, and Father Chen usually couldn't bear to beat or scold them, so he could only let the three of them wander around the house with pale faces.

Junjun, who always sat with Chen Lingling to study and do homework, went to bed early tonight for the first time and refused to sit with his aunt.

It's quiet at night.

Father Chen was lying on the bed in a daze. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Mother Chen beside him turned over and put one leg on him.

Father Chen patted Mother Chen's legs gently as if he was coaxing a child. He turned his head to the side and was about to fall asleep.

As a result, he saw a pale face in the darkness right in front of him.

Chen Dazhi scared people so much that they almost died on the spot!
He turned around and wanted to sleep with his back to Chen's mother.

But when he thought of the pale face behind him facing the back of his neck, Father Chen's scalp went numb and he turned back again.

But when he turned around, he was faced with Chen's mother's frighteningly pale face again.

As a last resort,

Father Chen simply took out the pillowcase that he usually used to cover his belly button and piled it between him and Mother Chen to form a small mountain of cloth. Only then did he slowly fall asleep.

That night, Chen Dazhi had a nightmare all night.

The next morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, Chen Dazhi got dressed and went to the fields.

As a result, as soon as he got off the kang in his slippers, he heard sporadic noises coming from the main room.

Ok? ? ?
Chen Dazhi walked lightly, opened the door and looked outside!
In the dim main room, a person stood in front of the mirror, seemingly applying something on his face.

"Second brother? Is that you?"

Chen Dazhi saw that the man looked like Chen Luyang and asked.

Chen Luyang held the Yongfang Pearl Cream in his left hand and turned back with a pale face: "Dad, why are you up so early?"

Chen Dazhi was caught off guard, his heart pounding again!
"You want to scare your father to death, don't you?"

Chen Dazhi couldn't bear to talk about his wife, couldn't bear to talk about his two daughters, and even couldn't bear to beat his son?

Now,

The fear and worry of the whole night turned into the broom in his hand, and he waved it towards Chen Luyang!

……

What a deal!

Chen Luyang sat at the dining table feeling depressed, drinking the millet porridge in the bowl.

Last night, he saw that Chen Dazhi was not in good condition, so he did not dare to apply the pearl cream, but instead applied the Gala oil.

He originally wanted to get up early today and apply some pearl cream to moisturize his skin, but he was caught by Chen Dazhi and was beaten up.

The pearl cream that was applied on the face with great difficulty was also wiped off at the order of Chen's father.

Feeling distressed! ! !

As the end of the year is approaching, not only is the production work in the factory coming to an end, but the work of the comprehensive department is also beginning to calculate the results and rewards.

As the Propaganda Department issued a notice on "application for selection of annual outstanding workshops and advanced individuals", writers from each workshop began to write advanced materials.

This job in the fusion workshop naturally fell on Chen Luyang.

Needless to say, the title of advanced individual in the workshop was naturally given to Cao Qinghang.

The advanced materials of the workshop are also easy to fool. Just modify the materials used in the last application for the national advanced collective and submit them.

After writing the two materials, Chen Luyang handed them over to the Propaganda Department as required by the notice.

Just walked to the second floor of the factory's main office building,

Chen Luyang saw two comrades in workshop uniforms walking down cursing.

"They're all from the Propaganda Department. Secretary Li's not here, so what's wrong with him helping to collect them?! Why is he so stubborn?"

"Alright, there's nothing wrong with what he said. Everyone has their own division of labor. It's not his job, so it's normal for him not to want to take it over."

As the two were talking, they happened to meet Chen Luyang who was going upstairs at the corner.

Suddenly, the two of them pretended nothing had happened, said hello to Chen Luyang happily and left.

Chen Luyang listened to what the two people said and knocked on the door of the Propaganda Department with an attitude of giving it a try.

"Come in."

A voice came from inside.

Chen Luyang opened the door,
In the bright office, the green iron cabinet was locked tightly. Two red iron peony thermoses were placed on the floor, covered with knitted bottle covers.
There are two pots of green ivy on the windowsill, and the ground is wiped clean.

The whole office gives people a bright and tidy feeling as soon as you walk in.

Chen Luyang quickly looked around the office and thought to himself:
"If I had listened to my brother-in-law and joined the Propaganda Department, this would be my own office."

"This room looks much more comfortable than the small office in the fusion workshop."

But he hadn't looked around the room for two seconds.
When he saw the man sitting in the office, Chen Luyang's heart skipped a beat.

Why is he sitting in the room!
Thinking about what the two comrades who just came downstairs said,

Chen Luyang made up his mind and said with a warm smile:

"Hello, comrade. I'm here to deliver advanced materials for the workshop and for myself. Is this for you?"

Tang Xi looked at Chen Luyang with a dark face.
