Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 246 It’s almost Chinese New Year
Chen Luyang almost laughed out loud.

This was the first time since he was a child that he heard someone look down on Song Liaosha.

Maybe Song Liaosha's dance training was effective, or maybe her mood improved.

At the most lively and climaxing part of the entire dance music, Chen Luyang inadvertently took Meng Meng to dance a very beautiful spin on the dance floor.

Meng Meng was caught off guard and was carried away by Chen Luyang's dance like a little bird.

Chen Jinyue's eyes instantly turned murderous!!!
When the song ended and Meng Meng stood on the floor of the dance hall again, her eyes widened in surprise, her heart pounding, and her breathing rapid.

I wanted to look for Chen Luyang again, but Chen Luyang had already run out of the dance floor as if escaping for his life and sat in the audience.

"elder sister……"

Just as Chen Luyang was about to explain, the leader of the state-owned store came over with a smile.

"Director Chen is still very respectable!"

"Xiao Meng is the most outstanding female comrade in our store. We've introduced so many people to her but she hasn't picked anyone. Today she came to ask you to dance, so you better seize the opportunity!"

Chen Luyang felt as if Chen Jinyue's eyes were about to poke holes in his body.

"I already have a partner! Let's leave the opportunity to other gay men~"

"Yes..." Chairwoman Zhao of the Women's Federation also spoke happily.

"Just now in the Yingchun Hall, Director Chen said that he has a partner and is here to lead the team today."

When Chen Jinyue heard this, his expression instantly relaxed a lot.

After waiting for a long time for the social gathering to end, Chen Luyang rode his bicycle to the agreed intersection to wait for Chen Jinyue.

Seeing that she was still unhappy, Chen Luyang said aggrievedly:
"Sister, it was that lesbian who took the initiative to ask me to dance. I was really wronged..."

Chen Jinyue sighed softly: "I know..."

She used to think that Chen Luyang was making a big deal out of nothing and was not generous enough.

But it wasn't until today when he saw Chen Luyang dancing with another girl that Chen Jinyue realized he had encountered this, and he felt really bad!

Chen Luyang asked in a low voice: "Are you angry?"

"A little bit."

Chen Jinyue took a deep breath, as if to exhale all the unhappiness.

"But now that I think about it, there's nothing to be angry about. After all, it wasn't you who took the initiative to ask the lesbians to dance."

"Let's go and have something delicious!"

Ok? ? ?
Chen Luyang felt a panic in his heart.

Is this an easy pass?
He was already prepared for the other party to lose his temper and he would be patient to coax him and show his determination.

And it turned out to be so easy?
Chen Jinyue got on his bike and saw that he didn't leave. He wondered, "Are you stupid? Why aren't you leaving?"

Chen Luyang asked again uncertainly, "Are you really not angry anymore?"

Chen Jinyue looked at him with a smile: "Every good day is not enough for us, why would we be so angry?"

"move!"

"If there's enough time, we can watch a movie~~~~"

The two of them finally had time to meet on weekends, and she didn't want to waste her time on these unimportant people and things.

Chen Luyang looked at Chen Jinyue's smile, and the slight uneasiness and anxiety in his heart disappeared.

He happily got on his bike and said, "Let's go! Sister, let's go eat something delicious!!"

The two of them happily ate Western food, watched a movie, and before it got dark, they held hands and walked around in the park, built a small snowman, and finally went home reluctantly.

……

With the social gathering coming to an end, the New Year is only half a month away!

This year, the machinery factory exceeded its automobile production tasks and production targets, achieving great results and receiving awards.

In order to reward the workers, the factory gave each person two more meat tickets before the New Year so that everyone could celebrate the New Year happily.

This task falls on the shoulders of every workshop director.

Every Chinese New Year, the workshop director would visit every household of the workers' families in the workshop.

It is both a New Year's greeting and a "home visit".

Look at the living conditions of the workers' homes and ask if there are any needs that can be addressed by any organization.

There are many workers in Lao Chen's workshop.

In the past, Lao Chen had to walk for a week or two to visit all the workers' homes.

This year, Xiao Chen also took the meat coupons and joined Lao Chen's family visiting team.

"Only report good news, not bad news. Observe more and talk less. Give gifts, say hello, and then leave."

“Difficulties are not revealed by asking, but by seeing them yourself.”

"We must take everyone's self-esteem into consideration."

"Everyone should know the family situation in their mind. Take a small notebook and record every family you go to."

"Home visits are not a joke, they must be taken seriously..."

"Don't say nasty things to people! Don't act like a workshop director, just treat it like a friend or relative visiting."

……

"Don't worry, Dad!"

……

Old Chen and Little Chen, with tickets in their pockets, began visiting every household to wish them a happy new year.

After working for half a year, Chen Luyang has basically become familiar with all the workers in the workshop.

He probably knows who has a new baby, who has elderly people, whose parents live in another place...

In addition to delivering meat coupons to the workers' homes, he also used his own money to buy some useful things for the workers' homes.

Although the gifts from each household were not expensive, the overall expenditure was large.

Fortunately, Director Chen has a high salary, otherwise I really can’t afford to buy so many things.

However, what he didn't expect was that the workshop workers were also quite enthusiastic and happy about his visit.

Whenever a baby was born, they would ask him to hold the baby and give him a lot of melon seeds, peanuts and candies.

Xiang Guowu's wife had prepared a jar of honey and a pickled cabbage for him early on. As soon as they welcomed Chen Luyang into the house, Xiang Guowu and his wife stuffed the things into his arms.

Not to mention Dong Mangui, he directly pulled him into the house to drink, and called his son over, calling Chen Luyang uncle.

When Chen Luyang heard the word "Uncle", his heart almost broke.

He's still old enough to be a "big brother", but he's already an uncle...

"How's your child's study going?"

"Just make do with the things, all you do is play around all day long!"

Dong Mangui scolded his son with a smile, and reached out to rub the chubby little Dong.

"Boss, I have to tell you something. Work is important, but so is your child's education!"

Chen Luyang called Xiao Dong: "Come, show your homework to uncle."

When Xiao Dong heard the word "homework book", he instinctively stepped back.

"You kid, why are you embarrassed to show your homework to your uncle? Go, show it to your uncle!"

Mr. Dong patted his son and told him to get his homework book.

Xiao Dong reluctantly handed his homework book to Chen Luyang.

Chen Luyang flipped it open and took a look: "Hey Xiaodong, your book has red crosses on it...!"

……

In the evening, as soon as Chen Luyang walked out of Dong Mangui's house, he heard the sound of a child being beaten.

"What did you learn in school?"

"Cry...you still have the nerve to cry! Write it to me!!"

"If you don't write it right tonight, don't even think about sleeping!!!"

……

Chen Luyang sighed softly in his heart.

Xiao Dong, don’t blame your uncle for being cruel.

If Chen Dazhi had pushed the original owner to study hard back then, the original owner would have been admitted to university long ago, and he would probably be a college student now.

Even though it was winter vacation, Chen Luyang still had to watch Chen Xiaoling and Sun Junjun study with him every night.

It took Chen Luyang nearly two weeks to complete the tour of the workshop, which had more than 150 people.

This year, the factory leaders, out of concern for their employees, gave everyone a holiday on the 29th day of the lunar year so they could go shopping for New Year goods. The entire factory was festooned with red lanterns and "Happy Spring Festival" banners, and even the loudspeakers blared festive New Year songs.

On the 28th day of the lunar year, factory leaders, accompanied by the office director, would visit various workshops and departments to pay New Year's greetings.

Early in the morning, Chen Luyang led all the workers in the workshop to clean the workshop inside and out.

In the morning, Wang Qingzhou, Dong Jiangchao, Yu Anshan and Niu Yong came to the rubber workshop to greet the workers and shook hands with each worker.

After shaking hands, Wang Qingzhou did not leave, but walked towards Chen Luyang's office with a smile.

"This time I have to check to see if there are any poker cards in your room!"

"Director, that's not a poker, it's a bookmark~~"

Chen Luyang opened the office door with a smile and led Wang Qingzhou and the other three into the room.

Chen Luyang's office is a bit messy...

It’s not that the floor is dirty, but there are piles of draft materials scattered on the table.

There are traces of scribbles and drawings on each draft material.

"What masterpiece is our Director Chen writing now?"

Wang Qingzhou curiously picked up a draft document: "Two rectifications, two cleanups, and one quality, workshop work methods..."

Chen Luyang explained, "Director, our rubber workshop is planning to try to improve its production management methods. This is just an idea I have, and we're planning to start implementing it in the workshop after the Chinese New Year."

Wang Qingzhou looked down at the draft materials in his hand.

Dong Jiangchao, Yu Anshan, Niu Yong and others also curiously took out several drafts from the table and looked through them.

Although the content of each draft has different changes, the core remains unchanged.

After reading it, several people didn't show much emotion on their faces.

Sorting out, reorganizing, sweeping, keeping clean, and maintaining good manners...these five things are often required in the factory.

It’s just that the list is not as detailed as what Chen Luyang wrote.

"Very good." Wang Qingzhou put the draft back on the table with satisfaction.

He now has a mysterious liking for Chen Luyang.

This workshop director is really not worth a damn. It's almost the New Year and he's still thinking about how to work.

"Try it! I'm looking forward to your management results!"

Wang Qingzhou cheered Chen Luyang on, and there was even a hint of inexplicable expectation in his tone.

"Okay, Director!"

Chen Luyang answered loudly.

……

After seeing off the factory leader who came to pay New Year’s greetings, the rubber workshop welcomed another leader in the afternoon.

"Mom! Why are you here?!"

Chen Luyang's eyes widened with joy, and he almost jumped up from behind his desk to welcome his good mother into the house.

After he became the workshop director, he always asked Chen's mother to come to his workshop to see how successful her son was!

But at that time, Chen's mother felt that her son had just taken office and everyone was watching him, so her coming to the workshop would have a bad influence.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching and everyone has started visiting each other, Chen's mother dared to come and take a look.

"Oh my! Look at you, you made the leather pieces at home, and you're still like this at work."

As soon as Chen's mother entered the room, she couldn't help muttering.

"Hang up the towel once it's dry! It looks so ugly on the heater!"

"If you don't wear your leather shoes, why don't you put them away? Leave them outside to avoid dust?!"

"Look at the way you arranged your books!"

"Oh, if you don't wear this tattered vest and take it home, you might get pregnant if you leave it here!"

"How many times have I told you to clean up the lunch box quickly after eating? It's all stuck."

……

Chen Luyang started to have a headache.

"Mom, I'll clean this up later! Just sit here."

He pushed Chen's mother onto the sofa with kind words and poured a cup of hot tea for his good mother.

"Just you?" Chen's mother glanced at him.

"You're so lazy you can't even poop, how can you clean it up?"

As she spoke, Chen's mother stood up from the sofa and began to clean up her son's office.

"Just like your father!"

Chen Luyang stood by speechlessly.

wipe……

This is what happened!
He asked Chen's mother to come to show off his pride and let his mother see how great he is.

But she is not asked to do the work!
He was just about to snatch the small towel from Chen's mother's hand when Du Han knocked on the door and walked in, asking him to sign for the last batch of standard parts to be produced before the New Year.

"Mom, I need to go out and sign something!!"

Chen Luyang finally had the chance to show off and shouted happily.

"Go ahead and write well. Don't write like a cockroach crawling."

Mother Chen spoke as she lowered her head to clean the table and wipe the dust with a rag.

Chen Luyang: “Okay~~”

……

In the quiet office, Chen's mother wiped left and right.

Water the flowers, polish the shoes...

"Why are there so many newspapers here?"

Mother Chen casually opened the drawer and saw a pile of newspapers inside.

Open it,
"Conference report on cultural publishing and academic exchange...?"

"The second son was in the newspaper a while ago, why didn't he take it home?"

Chen's mother looked at the clear photo of Chen Luyang printed in the Oriental Daily.

This photo was taken specifically for Chen Luyang by a reporter from Oriental Daily, and the framing, lighting, composition, and the person's demeanor are all captured perfectly!
Previously, Chen's mother was mad about the photo of Chen Luyang and Chen Tuo, but now there is a new photo!!!

"This photo can be used to arrange a blind date for the second child."

The more Chen's mother looked at the photo, the more she liked it.

Without hesitation, Chen's mother stuffed the ten or so newspapers into her bag and walked out of the office.

"I'll go check out your dad's workshop. Just keep working hard."

"Okay, Mom~~"

……

In the evening, Director Chen, who was completely unaware of the situation, rode to Songting Hotel carrying a large bag of delicious food.

"Canned sugar water, malted milk, powdered milk, candy... and bananas!"

Chen Jinyue's eyes widened as he looked at the large cloth bag full of food.

“How much will this cost!?”

Not to mention anything else, bananas alone are extremely expensive.

A small handful costs a lot of money to buy.

"You bought too many things."

Although Chen Jinyue is a hardworking girl, it is still difficult for her to carry such a large bag of things.

"Not much." Chen Luyang shook his head.

"It's Chinese New Year, and I actually wanted to buy some spare ribs and white wine for your family, but I gave all the meat coupons from the factory to my mom, and you can't drink white wine, so I didn't buy any."

"I bought you some extra fruit so you can eat it at home during the New Year."

In fact, he should have bought some melon seeds and peanuts, but Chen Luyang really couldn't carry them.

Moreover, he thought Chen Jinyue had some melon seeds and peanuts at home, so he didn't buy any.

"After you finish eating, tell me what you want to eat and I will buy you something."
