Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 228 I suspect something is wrong with the second brother!

Daxin has finally grown up.

That night, Daxin not only took the initiative to send a pound of freshly baked mung bean cakes to Wang Qingzhou, but also sent a pound each to Yu Anshan and Dong Jiangchao.

He even sent a copy to Tang Xi, asking Tang Xi to pass it on to Deputy Director Liu, who had already left.

And there was also a letter from the rubber factory.

They couldn't provide one pair of rubber shoes for each person.

However, the factory had a batch of defective rubber shoes. The soles and everything else were good, except for the uppers, which had minor problems such as skipped stitches, open stitches, and asymmetrical shoe holes.

Except for the poor aesthetics, everything else is fine.

Originally, these defective rubber shoes were to be treated as defective products.

But since the machinery factory has an idea, the rubber factory can sell this batch of rubber shoes to the machinery factory at a lower price.

At that time, the price of a pair of rubber shoes was about 3 yuan.

The rubber factory offered a price of RMB 1.5 for this batch of defective shoes, which was a significant reduction of more than half the price.

Besides, rubber shoes are durable and a pair can be worn for a long time.

Song Liaosha and Fu Donghu immediately began to count the rubber shoe needs of each household of factory employees, and tried to distribute the rubber shoes before the New Year!

When Song Liaosha went back and forth to the rubber factory to check shoes every day,
Bai Yunzhao, the head of Yangshulin Commune, led the driver Liu Yiping and several trucks of frozen hairtail fish and headed towards the machinery factory in a vigorous manner.

Chen Luyang heard Liu Yiping coming early in the morning and was waiting at the door.

From a distance, he saw a powerful small truck led by Zhang Fei speeding towards him.

"Teacher Chen!"

When Liu Yiping saw Chen Luyang, he jumped out of the car, ran over a few steps, and shook his hand tightly.

"Congratulations, Teacher Chen! I heard you're now the workshop director. That's amazing!"

Chen Luyang said modestly: "Don't laugh at me, I am just a blind cat pretending to be a dead mouse, I am lucky to have caught up with it."

Liu Yiping patted Chen Luyang on the shoulder and said, "Teacher Chen, I'll accompany our President Bai to deliver the hairtail first. I'll come back to find you later!"

Although the provincial capital is close to the river, there are usually plenty of fish.

But in winter, people still like to buy frozen hairtail to eat.

This time, Yangshulin Commune specially collected a lot of frozen hairtail, preparing to exchange it for a small truck from the machinery factory.

When Chen Luyang led Liu Yiping into the office and heard that they wanted to buy another car, Chen Luyang was shocked:
"Buying a car? From what I've heard, our commune only has about four or five cars now. Can we use them all?"

"Why not?" Liu Yiping grinned happily.

"Doesn't our commune now run a fertilizer factory? Every day we have to go to the provincial capital to haul manure, and we also have to go to the farms down below to collect manure. We really don't have enough trucks!"

"This time our president came not only to trade hairtail for a car, but also to order a production line from our factory to produce fertilizer."

Chen Luyang looked at Liu Yiping in surprise: "Is our factory going to have to adopt the production line?"

This Yangshulin Commune is quite amazing!

The machinery factory had only just started its automobile production line not long ago, but now a small fertilizer factory in a commune below has also started its production line!
"Teacher Chen, you don't know that one production line in today's factory is not enough."

Liu Yiping was both happy and worried.

"In the past, we had to beg for alms and collect manure from everywhere."

"But since a cattle farm opened next to our commune, we've suddenly become so full of manure that we can't digest it at all. We have to add a production line to supplement production."

"A few days ago, we even invited technicians from a provincial chemical plant to help us improve the formula and debug the equipment."

"Once the production line is completed, we will also produce fertilizers next year."

Chen Luyang was delighted: "That's great! With the raw materials, the technology, and the production line, why worry about not being able to sell good products?"

Ever since he became the director of the rubber workshop, the things that worried him the most and made him angry the most were raw materials and technology.

Now that he heard that Yangshulin Commune had endless manure, he was truly envious from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be afraid! Our president is here, we are not afraid of anything!" Liu Yiping said proudly.

"Our president also said that now that we have opened a cattle farm, we may also open a milk powder factory next to the commune in the future. In short, the more they open, the better our lives will be!"

Chen Luyang was also infected by Liu Yiping's joy.

"So, besides buying cars and production lines, do you have any other plans this time?"

Liu Yiping said, "We also plan to buy some cement this time to build a factory and install a production line."

"After we finish transporting the hairtail fish to the machinery factory, I'll take President Bai to the cement factory."

"Teacher Chen, when our new factory is finished, we invite you to come and join in the fun!"

"Okay!" Chen Luyang agreed happily.

Although Liu Yiping came with frozen hairtail, before leaving, he deliberately turned a corner and came to Chen Luyang's house to give him a big piece of milk!

This big lump of milk is made from frozen milk squeezed from the cows on the farm.

At first, Chen Luyang didn't know about this. When he returned home in the evening, Chen Lingling and Sun Junjun, two greedy cats, ran out together and insisted on trying what the milk ball tasted like.

"Do you even need to ask me about this? Just eat whatever you want!"

Chen Luyang looked at the two little ancestors speechlessly: "Why did I become so influential in our family? They even have to ask me for food."

Chen Lingling pouted: "Mom said that this food is for you, and we can only eat it if you agree."

Junjun was greedy and acted like a spoiled child: "Uncle, just lick my nipple~"

"Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me. You two are really capable of doing this just for a bite of food!"

Chen Luyang couldn't stand the pitiful performance of the two people.

He picked up the lump of milk and took it to the kitchen. He first used a knife to break off two small pieces and stuffed them into the mouths of Chen Lingling and Junjun respectively for them to suck on as popsicles.

Then put it in the pot and start cooking while melting.

After it was cooked, Chen Luyang poured a large basin full of milk and brought it into the house.

Junjun, who was standing by, couldn't help it any longer. He had been staring at Niu Nai with his dark eyes since she came into the room.

"Come here, Junjun, eat some milk skin!"

Chen Luyang picked up a piece of milk skin with chopsticks, rolled it up and fed it to Junjun.

"Second brother! I want to eat too!" Chen Lingling was also acting coquettishly beside him.

Chen Luyang rolled the remaining half of the milk skin onto the chopsticks and fed it to Chen Lingling.

"It has a strong milky flavor and tastes better than popsicles!" Chen Lingling said happily, showing her little white teeth.

"It would be great if our family could drink milk every day."

Chen Luyang: "That's difficult. We can't even raise cows in our yard!"

In fact, Chen Luyang had really thought about this matter.

If they had a cow at home and drank milk every day, Lingling would have no hope, but Junjun would definitely grow up tall in the future.

"If you like it later, I'll buy you some milk powder and we'll come back to make it."

Chen Lingling shouted happily: "Brother, I knew you were the best to me!"

"Damn it! You have to change your greedy habit, otherwise I'm afraid that in the future some man will be tricked away by giving you some delicious food." Chen Luyang was a little worried.

"If there really is a man who can let me eat delicious food and drink milk every day like my brother and father, I would be fine with being deceived."

Chen Lingling picked up a bowl of milk and began to drink it heartily.

Chen Luyang: ...

Shouldn't I hurry up and educate my younger sister on her values?! "No, little sister, just listen to my advice."

Chen Luyang carefully chose his words and began to educate her bit by bit:

"If we want to eat delicious food, there's nothing wrong with you asking our dad or me for help, but you must never put all your focus on others."

"He can buy it for you today, and he can buy it for you tomorrow. But what if he doesn't buy it for you the day after tomorrow? What will you do?"

Chen Lingling proudly said: "Then I will buy it for myself!"

Chen Luyang slapped his thigh: "That's right!"

"What you hold in your own hands is yours. What belongs to others will always belong to others."

"Let me tell you, there aren't many men like that you can rely on. You have to be strong, independent, and take control of your own life!"

Chen Lingling disagreed: "Brother, you make it sound like all men are bad. Aren't our dad, you, and my brother-in-law all good people?"

Chen Luyang disagreed even more: "You think everyone is a man from our Chen family! How old are you? How many people have you met? There are so many bad people out there!"

"That's enough!" Eldest sister Chen Lihong couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'm still a bachelor, and I'm still here educating Xiaoling. You should bring one back first and then we can talk about the others."

Chen Luyang rolled her eyes: "Sister, I don't want to bring her home, otherwise I would bring back a big beauty in a minute!"

Chen Lihong was happy: "Okay, bring it back quickly."

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to find someone to help cut pickles for our family?"

"The pickled radish at home is ready. Take the girl home and cut the radish."

Chen Luyang: ...

"Sister, how can you ask a girl to come to your house to cut radishes?"

Forget about cutting radishes.

Chen Jinyue looks like a spoiled young lady, but she probably hasn't even cooked a few meals.

"Let me cut the radishes at home. It's a good opportunity to practice."

Seeing that Chen Luyang seemed to take it seriously, Chen Lihong said happily:

"You! You are so useless!"

"You were yelling at me before, saying you wanted someone to cut pickles for you, but now you just changed your tune."

Chen Luyang felt a little ashamed.

I didn’t have a partner at that time, so I just said whatever I thought and satisfied my desire to talk.

Now that he is really pregnant, even though the girl hasn't officially agreed yet, he can't bear to let her go.

"Sister, I'm not changing my tune." Chen Luyang said shamelessly, "This is all inherited from my family."

"As a man, why do you need to eat so much and save so much energy? Isn't it so that you can take on more responsibilities at home and do more work?"

Chen Lihong smiled and pinched him: "I can't tell whether he is responsible or not, but I can tell that he is smooth-talking and obedient."

"Since you say you're willing to take responsibility, go wash the pots and pans."

"Understood!" Chen Luyang gave a semi-standard military salute, lowered his head and kicked Junjun with his foot.

"Let's go! Junjun, go wash the dishes with your uncle!"

"Okay!" Junjun held the bowl in both hands and ran out to the yard to wash the dishes.

Looking at the two figures, one big and one small, washing dishes, Chen Lihong turned around and went into the house.

"Mom, I feel like something's wrong with my second child."

Mother Chen didn't even raise her eyelids: "Do you even need to tell me this? I already noticed it!"

Chen Lihong immediately started gossiping: "Mom, why didn't you tell me about this news earlier? Whose girl is she? What does she do? Have you seen her?"

Mother Chen had been hiding her worries for so long, and now she finally had someone like-minded to confide in. She couldn't hold it in anymore.

"I suspect the second brother has taken a fancy to the female manager of their hotel!"

Chen Lihong wondered: "Female manager?"

Investigator Feng Jiuxiang immediately began to unravel the case.

From the group dance competition to the sudden disappearance of the lunch box, every part in between was analyzed in detail.

"Good boy... The second brother is keeping this secret affair very secret!"

Although Chen Lihong had no impression of Chen Jinyue, she believed that since she could be a manager in a hotel for foreign guests, she must be a capable girl.

"Cover him up, and see how long he can keep doing it." Mother Chen said slowly.

Originally, she was quite anxious about Chen Luyang finding a partner.

But after chatting with Chen Dazhi last time, she felt that Chen Dazhi was right.

Chen Luyang is now an 18-year-old young man who has not even reached the legal age for marriage. He is like a wild horse running around.

Run here today, run there tomorrow.

Who knows where he'll go the day after tomorrow.

Now Chen Luyang is in a passionate relationship with the female manager. Who knows, in a few days he might see another pretty girl and turn around and like someone else.

Another room in the courtyard

Wild horse Chen Luyang is studying hard in order to run to the next prairie.

Although he is not good at science.

However, whether it was Yu Huichuan or several other young teachers, they rarely talked about difficult questions in his tutoring, and they all focused on improving the basics.

Every time, the basic issues are explained repeatedly.

Thanks to Yu Huichuan and others, Chen Luyang is now finally able to memorize the entire periodic table of chemical elements clearly.

Since Wataru Ebe returned home a few days ago, the fusion workshop does not need a translator for the time being.

Chen Luyang finally had time to concentrate on studying for the exam.

On a quiet afternoon, the workshop workers were working hard.

Chen Luyang was doing the test paper, doing calculations on the draft paper from time to time.

"Brother, what are you writing?"

Song Liaosha walked in as if she was entering her own home, picked up the scissors, and cut off the yellow-edged leaves of the green radish with a snap.

"Don't learn anymore. I'll take you to the clothing factory to try on clothes!"

"What clothes do you want to try?" Chen Luyang put down his pen, his eyes lighting up.

What young guy doesn’t like to dress up!
But at that time there were really too few types of clothing, and they worked in a machinery factory every day and wore work clothes every day.

There are even fewer opportunities to dress up.

Song Liaosha said with a proud look, "Didn't my section chief and I go to the garment factory a few days ago to arrange for cotton coats for the workers? The garment factory sent us a letter agreeing to give each of us a cotton coat."

"Come with me to the clothing factory later to have our heights and measurements taken. They'll then make us two sets of cotton coats that fit us well."

In winter, cotton coats are usually worn larger so that you can add more clothes inside when it gets cold.

Some cotton coats that are large in size will let in wind at the waist and need to be fastened with a rope on the outside.

Chen Luyang finally had the chance to make a suit that fit him, so he couldn't sit still. He stood up, put on his cotton coat, and followed Song Liaosha out.

I rode my bicycle to the garment factory, but before I even entered, Chen Luyang suddenly braked and exclaimed:
"Da Song?! Look at that guy in front of you, why is he headless?!"
