Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 269 Rebuilding the Sports Field

Helplessly, Chen Luyang, who was naturally very concerned about his reputation, could only try his best to follow the coach's warm-up.

However, no matter how hard he tried, his movements were still different from others because he was injured.

"Comrade Captain, are you injured?" Coach Liu asked.

"Coach, I'm not feeling well."

At this moment, the steel-like man was scared...

It’s okay not to be a coward.

In his current condition, if he were to do a few standing long jumps and jump left and right.

That would be really useless.

"Then comrade captain, please stand aside for the time being." Liu Yang cleared Chen Luyang out of the queue without hesitation.

"Let's do a round-trip run first."

Liu Yang took a few steps forward and said, "Everyone, please start from where the captain is and end at where I am. I want to test your endurance."

"Comrade Captain, please supervise us."

Chen Luyang: Got it!

In the biting cold wind, Chen Luyang and Liu Yang observed the physical fitness and condition of the team members one after another.

Don’t tell me!
The people selected by the union all have very good physical fitness.

When a few burly men ran towards him, Chen Luyang was worried that he would be knocked away by them.

But running, running,

I don’t know if it was because he rushed forward too fast or what, but he obviously staggered slightly.

Others didn't pay much attention to it, but Coach Liu decisively called a stop, walked to the place where the staggering occurred, and knocked the snow with his feet.

"How long has it been since your playground was repaired?"

Liu Yang used his heels to dig open the playground under the snow, and when he saw the bumpy coal slag inside, he frowned a little.

"Everyone, be careful when running, don't get hurt!"

As he spoke, Liu Yang chose another relatively flat area on the cinder track and led the machinery factory football team to the test.

Since Chen Luyang did not show any physical fitness and athletic talent today, he was temporarily appointed as the goalkeeper by the team.

The first training session ended this morning.
Chen Luyang and a few others walked to the cinder track where the car had just gotten stuck and looked down to observe.

The sports field of the Provincial Machinery Factory is quite old.

When Chen Luyang was a child, he often came here to run and play football with Song Liaosha, Zhu Xinghuo and others, but over the years, the factory stadium has never been maintained or renovated.

At that time, most sports venues were traditional cinder tracks or land tracks.

This runway is made of a mixture of cinders and soil.

The dust that is easily raised during running can have a negative impact on the athletes’ respiratory tract. Moreover, the flatness of the cinder track is relatively poor, which is not conducive to athletes performing at their best.

It is said that you will understand what you do if you do it.

In the past, Chen Luyang didn’t think anything of running wildly in the stadium.

I looked down like this today!
In the past, the factory did not have the conditions and there was a shortage of rubber raw materials. In order to save costs, a coal slag railway was built.

But now the factory's waste tires are continuously imported from Japan, and we are no longer in the situation where we are reluctant to throw away this or that.

Waste tires are cut and crushed into rubber powder, which can be used to pave sports fields and rebuild factory stadiums.

Moreover, laying a better rubber track is not only a benefit for the factory workers, but also a testament to the provincial machinery factory's capacity. Aren't the ground covered with chopped rubber particles from the workshop?!
Chen Luyang squatted on the ground with difficulty, picked up a handful of coal slag and looked at it in the palm of his hand.

After thinking about it, he turned and walked towards the factory office building.

"You want to build a rubber track?"

In the deputy director's office, Yu Anshan put down the newspaper and asked in surprise.

"Why did you suddenly think of building a rubber track?"

Now the whole factory is looking forward to the arrival of the Italian representatives, and the waste tires and other things are also ready.

The workers on the production line were eager to get started, wishing they could give their cars wings.

Why are you thinking about the factory stadium instead of focusing on the production of shock absorbers and tires?
Chen Luyang said, "Firstly, the current factory playground is really old. The ground is uneven and dusty, made of coal slag and dirt. We have such a large factory, but the playground is so shabby. It really doesn't match the factory's heritage and appearance."

"Secondly, spring is coming. Once the ice melts, the children in the factory will become more active, playing football and running. Renovating and rebuilding the sports field will also benefit the factory workers."

"Thirdly, a good rubber stadium can be used for many years. There are only a few rubber stadiums in the province right now. Besides, this year is the provincial sports meeting. If we build a rubber stadium, it will also support the work of the province and set an example as a pioneer!"

"Fourthly, the factory now has the necessary conditions. We can produce and grind the most basic rubber granules ourselves, without having to spend a lot of money to buy them from rubber factories."

"As for other base materials and cement, you can go to the cement factory and glue factory to negotiate the price."

"The snow is about to thaw, so we're starting preparations now. This will allow us to lay the rubber and base material in time for the spring sports meet."

Chen Luyang explained his ideas in detail to Yu Anshan.

To be honest, he also has selfish motives.

Junjun is a little boy who loves running, playing crazy and playing with balls.
In the summer, he and his classmates ran wildly in the playground, and fell over many times. His legs were either bruised today, purple tomorrow, or scratched the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, the track will be covered with a layer of dust, which is not good for your health over time.

Since he is now the director of the rubber workshop in the factory, he is in charge of the rubber business.

He wanted to see if he could take on this responsibility and do more for the factory.

Yu Anshan pondered: "I'll talk to Director Wang about this matter. I'll let you know when I have any news."

"By the way, I have something else to ask you."

"The provincial rubber factory plans to cooperate with us to jointly research recycled rubber... What is recycled rubber???"

Yu Anshan looked like a confused baby.

When he received a call from the provincial rubber factory before, he was also confused.

Chen Luyang was amused by what he heard.

He was still thinking about how to get rid of the "third leg".

As a result, the "third leg" took the initiative to pick it up.

After Chen Luyang explained to Yu Anshan what "recycled rubber" was, he said:
"The rubber factory is a long-established rubber factory in the province. They have more technicians and engineers than ours, and they are more professional."

"If we can get on board with their research on recycled rubber, it will be beneficial to us!"

Yu Anshan laughed and said, "Does our Director Chen agree?"

Chen Luyang was so frightened that he quickly said, "I will follow my leader's instructions in everything!"

Yu Anshan laughed and said, "Don't be so nervous. There's no need for us to do anything fake."

"I didn't respond to them before because I didn't know what recycled rubber was."

"Secondly, I want to ask for your opinion."

"Since you agree, I will give the Provincial Rubber Factory a reply shortly."

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "Good leader."

……

Although Wataru Ebe did not give a clear answer,

But receiving a cooperation invitation from the Provincial Rubber Factory was also a happy event for Chen Luyang. Currently, Xiang Guowu is the head of the recycled rubber department and liaison officer in the rubber workshop, responsible for technical coordination with the Provincial Rubber Factory.

Within two days, he went on a business trip with colleagues from the provincial rubber factory, taking recycled rubber films to Renan, to find experts to study the production methods of recycled rubber.

To Chen Luyang's surprise,

Wang Qingzhou readily agreed to Chen Luyang's application to renovate the factory's rubber track, and at the same time asked the Supply and Marketing Department, Logistics Department, Trade Union and Office to jointly be responsible for the construction of the sports factory.

There are many workers in the factory, and the thing they have the most is manpower.

When we heard that the factory was going to build a new sports stadium, everyone was very happy.

Each workshop lined up to work and went to the playground every day to clear weeds, debris and stones, cleaning the ground thoroughly and waiting to lay cement mortar on it.

When it comes to cement mortar, we have to mention Tang Dale, the nephew of Liu Dongfang, the current director of the cement factory and former deputy director of the provincial machinery factory!
"Da Le, the cement in the factory depends on you this time!"

In the old restaurant, Song Liaosha poured Tang Xi a full glass of beer and put the historical burden on him.

As the saying goes.

When gods fight, the little ghosts are in trouble.

Wang Qingzhou and Liu Dongfang had previously slammed the table and cursed at each other at the factory party committee meeting.

Later, he waved his hand and kicked Liu Dongfang out of the machinery factory.

This led to the cement factory's very bad attitude towards the machinery factory.

When Fu Donghu and Song Liaosha went to the cement factory to discuss the order, either the owner was not at home or the ordinary cement had been used in the production department and for road paving.

In short, it would be extremely difficult for the machinery factory to get some cement.

There was no other way, so Fu Donghu and Song Liaosha could only turn their target to Tang Xi.

Although the Provincial Machinery Factory is Liu Dongfang's sad place, his nephew is his biological son after all.

It’s impossible that even if his own nephew went to look for him, Liu Dongfang would still be so unreasonable, right?

Tang Xi patted his chest angrily and grinned, "Brother, leave this to me!"

Song Liaosha paused her wine glass in mid-air. Looking at Tang Xi's serious expression and upturned lips, she couldn't help but:
"Brother! I beg you for this."

"Can you please be more normal and stop laughing so much?"

It's so fucking incongruous.

Every time Tang Xi had this expression, Song Liaosha wondered whether she was in a bad mood or Tang Xi was in a bad mood.

"That won't work!" Tang Xi shook his head.

"I have to get things done, and I have to be happy! You don't know, but everyone in the factory office building is so happy to say hello to me now."

Ever since the last factory party, Tang Xi has become completely famous.

In addition, everyone called him "Dale" and "Dale", and gradually, Tang Xi himself became happier day by day.

Apart from eating and sleeping, he can't close his mouth at all.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Song Liaosha simply gave up.

"Okay... As long as you can get the cement factory deal, I'll be happy with you!"

A group of people were drinking at the table when Daxin's voice came over:
"Pork ribs stewed with beans!"

In an instant, Chen Luyang, Song Liaosha and others felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

The next moment, a pot of hot pork ribs, potatoes and beans stewed together was placed on the table.

Chen Luyang was terrified: "Hey Daxin, did you serve the wrong dish? We didn't order stewed beans!"

Daxin smiled and said, "It's a gift!"

"Didn't I tell you before that if the master chef agreed to teach me how to braise pork, I would treat you to stewed beans?"

Song Liaosha's eyes lit up: "Then the old man agreed to teach you?"

"Yeah~" Daxin rubbed the apron on his chest happily.

"But they're not teaching me braised pork. They're teaching me something else first. Like stir-fried shredded potatoes, three fresh vegetables, etc."

"First, teach me how to make various side dishes, and then you can teach me how to make braised pork."

Chen Luyang was puzzled: "...No, I heard that this old man was trying to keep you hanging?!"

"Forget about the three fresh vegetables, but what's there to teach about stir-fried shredded potatoes?"

Song Liaosha slipped in: "That's right!! I can cook that stuff."

Daxin looked at Song Liaosha with disdain: "What kind of crap is that you fried? We make shredded potatoes from the provincial compound."

Song Liaosha: "Yes, yes, yes, the potatoes in the provincial compound are inlaid with gold, and they have their own saltiness~"

Daxin was furious: "I really have nothing to say to you ignorant people! Do you want to eat the stewed beans? If not, I will take it away and give it to someone else!"

Tang Xi quickly pressed down the rice bowl with both hands: "Eat! There are so many ribs, why not eat them!"

Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha stared at Tang Xi with wide eyes.

When Daxin returned to the kitchen, Chen Luyang lowered his voice and asked:
“Don’t you know the story of the old restaurant’s stewed beans?”

Tang Xi picked up a large piece of pork ribs and replied, "I know!"

"Isn't it the time when we knocked down everyone in your workshop?"

Song Liaosha was surprised: "You still eat it even though you know it!"

Tang Xi didn't care: "Beans are beans, and spareribs are innocent after all. Let's eat the spareribs!"

This meal,
Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha didn't even dare to eat a bite of the pork ribs stewed with beans, for fear that they would be infected.

There was no way to persuade Tang Xi.

The big spareribs were so delicious that even the beans were delicious.

Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha were so scared that they immediately replaced the beer with white wine to sterilize it.

This scene made Daxin burst into tears!

For such a long time, no one except Tang Xi dared to eat the stewed beans he made.

When the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they came out arm in arm,
far away,
Chen Luyang saw two people walking in front of him, arm in arm.

"Da Song, look at the man on the left and see if he is Lao Zhu!" Chen Luyang asked in a daze.

"Let me take a look!" Song Liaosha opened her eyeballs with both hands and looked with wide eyes!
"That's Old Zhu! This bastard Sun is really something. We asked him to have dinner with us, but he said he didn't have time, and then he turned around and went out to drink with someone else."

"...No, who is the person next to him?"

It was pitch dark and Song Liaosha couldn't see clearly.

But Tang Xi recognized him at a glance: "I know him, that's Hao Meng from the office!"

After a pause,
Tang Xi, who was drunk, even added, "My brother!"

Chen Luyang was almost helpless.

He supported Tang Xi, who was almost unable to stand, and muttered:
"Yes, yes, yes, you are my brother. All the men in the factory are my brothers."

"Director Wang is your eldest brother, and Deputy Director Yu is your second brother..."

Tang Xi shook his head: "No! You are my eldest brother, Director Wang is my second brother..."
