Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 294: I am hungry during the day and miss my wife at night
Chen Luyang lowered his head and looked at the black bottle that looked like a modern fire hydrant. He looked left and right but couldn't figure out what this iron lump was!
"Uncle Jiao, what is this?" Chen Luyang asked.

"This thing is called a gas cylinder." Jiao Qian said.

"Although this thing may look insignificant, if you want to make it well, it must be seamless and flawless, and the skin must be thin and strong. Even the craftsmen in our factory can't make this."

"It was thanks to the minister's call for outstanding workers from across the country that we discovered Chen Dazhi and invited him to make this cylinder."

"My dad is so awesome..." Chen Luyang couldn't help but speak.

"Your dad is really amazing."

When Jiao Qian recalled his youth, a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't think that your father only stayed in the factory for eight months, but he fought all over our Shishan Machinery Factory during those eight months, and the fighting spirit he dealt to our masters one after another was almost wiped out."

Chen Luyang was also happy.

"Yes! Whenever my dad shows up now, he's surrounded and hammered by those eighth-level workers from the province."

My own father...

Originally, Chen Luyang thought that Chen Dazhi bullied and suppressed Jin Dakui every day.

By the way, I'll also bully Xu Qingsong from the engine factory and criticize the eighth-level workers from other large factories in the province.

But who knew that he would not even let go of the workers in the whole town.

"Not only the gas cylinder, but also this screw was hammered out by your father."

Jiao Qian picked up a screw in his hand and showed it to Chen Luyang.

"This electric shock device, this double-wheeled sprayer, and this brick-making machine... they were all hit by your father."

Chen Luyang laughed and said, "My dad worked here a lot back then!"

Jiao Qian said happily, "He works a lot, so he eats a lot too! Didn't you just hear Director He say that he needs to eat three or four steamed buns for a meal to feel full?"

"At first, all of us in the factory worked on his behalf, hoping he would stay."

"But Dazhi refused to agree no matter what."

At this point, Jiao Qian said helplessly:
"At that time, your father would complain to me during the day about being hungry, and at night he would tell me he missed his wife. It really annoyed me... He would change his shorts almost every day."

Chen Luyang's face turned red.

Uncle... I know you have a good relationship with my dad, and you don’t treat me as an outsider.

But there are some things you really don't need to tell me.
Jiao Qian was so absorbed in his memories with Chen Dazhi that he didn't notice Chen Luyang's embarrassed expression at all.

However, although Chen Luyang felt embarrassed when listening to it, Wu Jun behind him was listening with great interest.

He had heard a long time ago that a super powerful master had come to the factory.

The master helped the factory solve many problems and produced many spare parts.

The factory manager at that time even offered very generous conditions in an attempt to keep the master.

Not only did the person not stay, but the master's factory manager also found out.

The factory director took a train overnight to the Ministry of Industry and slammed the table in front of the minister, and only then was the person finally taken away.

In the past, everyone treated this as a joke.

Who would have thought that this man was actually Chen Luyang's biological father? !
Wu Jun looked up and looked at Chen Luyang deeply.

Dad is awesome,

My son has become a senior engineer and a senior translator at such a young age.

It's true that a tiger father has a dog son, it's impossible not to envy...

Behind him, Wu Jun cast an emotional look at Chen Luyang.

In front of him, Jiao Qian also looked like he was missing an old friend.

"After so many years, Dazhi hasn't come back, but I hope his son will come back!"

Jiao Qian was talking when he suddenly said:
"Xiao Chen, do you have a wife?"

Chen Luyang: ???

What is the problem!?

He shook his head honestly: "Uncle, I'm only 19 years old this year, not even of legal marriage age, how can I get married?"

After hearing this, Jiao Qian immediately laughed!
"It's good not to have a wife! I don't have to think about her day and night, it's a distraction!"

"Xiao Chen'er, how are you doing in the machinery factory? Are you interested in working in our factory?"

Chen Luyang's head buzzed after hearing this.

wipe……!
This Jiao Gan must be crazy.

Having not kept Old Chen back then, he is now plotting against himself.

"Uncle, our factory treats me very well. Now the factory is cooperating with Italian engineers to build cars. I have to rush back to take care of factory matters after I finish my work here."

Jiao Qian said nonchalantly, "With your father at the machinery factory, what can't he make?!"

"I think you shouldn't go back now that you're here. I'll have the factory apply for you and send a telegram to the provincial machinery factory to transfer you directly."

When Chen Luyang heard this, he quickly said, "That doesn't seem to work..."

"When I arrived, the factory director gave me a strict order: I had to go back immediately after finishing my work here. Otherwise, he would take the train to pick me up personally."

Jiao Qian didn't wait for him to finish and said directly: "Then let your factory director come too!"

"The factory is in need of people right now. More people means more resources."

Chen Luyang: ...

crazy.

This guy is absolutely crazy.

Wang Qingzhou is so old, but his heart is still not in good condition.

When he came, he could neither make guns nor fire cannons.

If I get angry later, I will destroy the Shishan Machinery Factory.
It is not certain that he would occupy Xianyang and become king.

Fortunately, Jiao Qian did not dwell on this issue. After taking Chen Luyang for a walk around the factory, Jiao Qian let the poor and weak Chen Luyang go and let him follow Wu Jun to the dormitory.

Different from the layout in the machinery factory,

The dormitory area of Shishan Machinery Factory is quite some distance away from the production area.

Wu Jun explained: Since the factory produces explosives, the family quarters are all located at the corner of the mountain.

In this way, even if an accident occurs, the family area will not be affected.

Arriving at the family quarters, Wu Jun led Chen Luyang to a dormitory, opened the door, and said:
"Engineer Chen, I heard that this dormitory was where your father lived. The factory leaders specially arranged it for you to live here too."

Chen Luyang's eyes lit up!
"My father lived here?"

Wu Jun said enthusiastically, "Yes, and it's the bed next to the window."

"The bedding, pillows, washbasin and towels are all ready for you. You can use them anytime."

Chen Luyang looked at the bed with everything he needed, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Comrade Wu, who is sleeping in this bed? Could it be Deputy Director Jiao?"

Wu Jun laughed: "Deputy Director Jiao got married early, so of course he can't live in the dormitory. This bed is mine." Hearing this, Chen Luyang's worried mood finally calmed down.

But he had barely calmed down for two minutes when Wu Jun's words made him lose his temper.

"Mr. Chen, I see that our height and weight are similar, so you should be able to wear my clothes and pants."

"Need not!!!!!!"

Chen Luyang almost screamed.

Are these brothers from Shishan Machinery Factory too enthusiastic?

Can you just borrow it casually?

Fortunately, Wu Jun didn't say anything strange afterwards.
After making the bed and eating in the cafeteria,

Chen Luyang met with Jiao Qian and others to familiarize himself with the general content of the agreement and the goals that Shishan Machinery Factory wanted to achieve.

Early the next morning,

The Shishan Machinery Factory took He Dahua, Jiao Qian, Chen Luyang and others into the city and went to the foreign guest hotel where the Japanese representatives were staying.

The meeting was held in the conference room of the Foreign Guest Hotel.

Shishan Machinery Factory brought Chen Luyang as an interpreter, and the Japanese representatives also hired a Chinese interpreter.

Since Shishan Machinery Factory had been discussing the project with the Japanese company for a long time, the process of signing the agreement went smoothly.

In addition, Chen Luyang had already fully understood the needs and negotiation purposes of Shishan Machinery Factory yesterday, so during the translation process, Chen Luyang consciously supplemented the negotiation content without achieving loyalty validity.

Fortunately, the other party’s translator was also one of the Japanese representatives’ own.

Although the two translators are nominally only responsible for the translation work on their own side.

However, when the other party is discussing, they can understand all the information that the other party's translation has deleted for various reasons, and can fully convey the other party's message to their own side.

After finishing the business, both parties had a meal together, and the signing of the contract came to a temporary end.

"Xiao Chen, it's a rare trip for you to Pianer City. Let's not go back to the factory. Let's pack up and go for a walk around the city!"

He Dahua warmly hugged Chen Luyang and got into the car.

Chen Luyang's performance today really left a strong impression on them.

I really didn’t expect that... Chen Dazhi, that rough guy, could actually give birth to a son who is a senior translator!

The area where the Foreign Guests Hotel is located is a prosperous area in the city. Chen Luyang came here in a hurry last time and didn't visit many places. It was a good opportunity for him to take a look at the excitement along the way.

When passing by the Overseas Chinese Store, Chen Luyang took a special look into the window.

The windows display a variety of imported goods, including foreign liquor, silk, Moutai, canned food, and cream cakes.

There are also several imported toy cars on the display stand.

Compared with the toy cars from machine factories, these imported toy cars have much better paint and car shapes.

When placed on a glass display stand and illuminated by the sun, it truly shines with such brilliance that one can't take their eyes off it.

Looking at the price, a toy car costs more than 10 yuan, which is three or four times more expensive than that sold in the machinery factory.

"These imported items are sold at high prices!" Chen Luyang sighed softly.

Entering the foreign trade store, Chen Luyang walked towards the salesperson and greeted:
"Comrade, are there many people buying these imported toy cars?"

The female salesperson at the Overseas Chinese Store had a very good service attitude and answered all the questions from people who were obviously just looking and not buying.

"A lot," the saleswoman replied enthusiastically. "Just look at the number of toys left on the counter. The store only has a limited supply of these car toys, and every time we restock, people keep coming to buy them."

"There are only two or three left now. If you come later, they might all be sold out."

Jiao Qian was surprised: "Comrade, is this toy car really so expensive that people would buy it?"

"Yes!" the saleswoman laughed. "Although I've never played with them, these little cars look really nice together. Not only would the kids, but even some men would be unable to walk after seeing them!"

Chen Luyang was moved.

"I bought the remaining two cars."

As he spoke, Chen Luyang took out the money from his pocket, took out the ticket, issued the invoice and paid.

"Xiao Chen, you also like this toy car?" Jiao Qian said with a smile.

Chen Luyang covered up: "I bought it for my little nephew to play with."

He Dahua said, "One is enough for my nephew to play with. It would be a waste to buy two."

Chen Luyang laughed and said, "My little nephew is very picky and doesn't know how to value things. He plays with them without knowing how to appreciate them. If he breaks this, ask me for it. I don't have time to run back to Pianer City to buy him a new one!"

When they heard that it was bought for a child, He Dahua and Jiao Qian stopped trying to persuade him.

Chen Luyang held the toy car and asked the salesperson: "Comrade, is there any other place in our city that sells toy cars? It doesn't have to be imported, our domestic ones will do too."

The salesperson thought for a moment and nodded, "A customer mentioned it before. We sell them on the third floor of Jiefang Store. They also have toy cars. Although they don't look or feel as good as the imported ones, they're relatively cheap and popular, so they're often out of stock. So when people are short of options, they come to our Overseas Chinese Store to buy imported goods."

After thanking the salesperson, Chen Luyang and the other two left the Overseas Chinese Store.

After walking a long way, Jiao Qian muttered, "When we were kids, just having a hoop to roll around in was a luxury. But there are still people looking for such expensive toy cars."

As a grandfather with a little granddaughter at home, He Dahua has a lot to say about this matter.

"You don't understand. Your son is grown up now, and there are no children at home, so you don't think buying toys is a big deal. But our little ancestor, let alone buying pencils, would clamor for any doll he saw, and would come home and pester you for it every day."

"If I can get her to let me go peacefully, I'll be happy to pay any amount of money."

Jiao Qian asked, "But Xiao Chen, are you going to buy so many cars for your nephew?"

The three people walked out of the Jiefang Store, and Chen Luyang bought five or six cars of different models.

What a coincidence.

In the Jiefang Store, there were not only toy cars from big factories such as "Liaoyuan" and "Yaode Xifeng", but also toy cars made by the provincial machinery factory.

Seeing the cars from the machinery factory, He Dahua was puzzled.

"Xiao Chen, your factory already has toy cars, why are you spending so much money on something else? And why are you buying so many?!"

After a pause,
He Dahua asked, "You don't want to buy these cars to study them?"

These words touched Chen Luyang's heart directly.

This time when he came to Pianer City, he was shocked by everyone's purchasing power.

A toy car that costs just over 10 yuan was sold out as soon as it was said it would be sold out.

Ordinary domestic toy cars are also in short supply.

The hotness of the toy market was beyond his imagination.

The reason why he bought so many toy cars was that he wanted to take them apart and have a look.

Look at what’s so good about their toy cars and why they are so popular.

In this way, when Marco Polo and others designed a new car, the toy cars in the factory could also be updated.

But there is no need to let other factories know about this kind of thing.

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "We have many relatives and there are so many children in the factory. The imported car will be kept for my son Junjun, and the others will be distributed to the children of my colleagues."
