Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 320: Matching shirts

As soon as these words were spoken, the small room became quiet in an instant.

Chen Lihong was a little worried.

"You mean, our factory will also change in the future?"

Chen Luyang looked at his elder sister Chen Lihong's worried and anxious expression and sighed softly in his heart.

A provincial machinery factory has supported nearly three generations of people.

People in the factory compound are born, grow up, get married, and have children here. All their benefits, houses, and lives are here.

If there are any changes to the Provincial Machinery Factory one day, I really don’t know how many people will be displaced and their source of livelihood will be cut off.

But~
That's all for the future.

"Sister, you're just worrying about nothing."

Chen Luyang smiled and fed a peeled peanut to his sister.

"I'll say it again~ If we want to develop well, we have to find a way to make the government willing to do everything in its power to protect us and strengthen us before the storm hits!"

"Now, our province's automobile industry has been designated the province's top priority. Factories like mirrors, light bulbs, instruments, and even engines are all counting on our cars to sell well so they can grow along with them!"

"Under the current circumstances, even if our factory wants to change, the provincial government will have to hold us back and give us the green light all the way!"

What Chen Luyang said before was quite reasonable.

But after talking for a while, Chen Dazhi became unhappy.

"You bastard? Still holding it down!"

"I'll just hold you down first!!!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had eased, Chen Luyang also asked with a smile the real purpose of this trip!
"By the way, I haven't been in the factory for the past week. Is there any gossip in our factory?"

My brother-in-law Sun Zhigang said, "The biggest gossip in our factory this week is that you led provincial leaders and Japanese friends to Guoguoli Street to burn paper for Guoguoli."

Chen Luyang: "...besides this?? For example, our Director Wang, Deputy Director Yu, and Deputy Director Dong and so on."

Sun Zhigang: "I haven't heard of this, but you really shouldn't say it."

"Our Factory Director Wang has been traveling to the provincial capital every few days lately. It's not uncommon to see his car leaving the hospital as soon as he arrives for work in the morning."

After a pause, Sun Zhigang wondered:

"Maybe it's just like you said, our factory director went to the provincial government to establish relations with the government???"

Chen Luyang nodded indifferently.

If we really talk about relations with the government, who in the entire provincial machinery factory understands it as well as other places?
Even the clothes he wore were bought by the Propaganda Minister's wife and daughter.

"Besides that, what about our factory director's mood and emotions?"

Chen Luyang asked tirelessly.

"No... Second Brother, what do you want to ask Director Wang tonight?"

Mother Chen glanced over with sharp eyes.

"Did you do something naughty again and make our factory manager angry?"

"I'm telling you! Tell the truth."

"If you really make a mistake, your father and I can take you to our factory director to admit your mistake!"

Chen Luyang felt helpless after hearing this.

"mom!"

"I'm an adult now, why do you treat me like I was fighting with my parents when I was a kid?"

Mother Chen rolled her eyes at him.

"Just because you found those few hairs on your head, you think you've grown up? It's still too early!"

Chen Lihong then added: "You haven't suffered any beatings from society!"

Chen Luyang pretended to cry out "Ouch, ouch" twice.

"I haven't suffered any beatings from society because the beatings I suffered at home far outweighed those from society."

"If it weren't for the education you gave me since I was little, I wouldn't have been able to do so well right after I started working."

Mother Chen looked at Chen Luyang helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I say a few words to you and then you turn around and praise yourself."

"Day after day, you're so heartless!"

Chen Luyang said coquettishly: "Isn't that all because of my dad, mom, sister and brother-in-law~"

The family chatted for a while,
Chen Luyang rubbed his hands, brushed the peanut shells on his palms into his sores, went out, took his book and sat at the table in the main room to study with Xiaoling and Junjun.

Although Peking University’s special admissions are almost certain.

But now I am still carrying the hopes of the teachers and students of the provincial university on my shoulders!
Even if it's for them, I have to review well and give them an explanation.

Early the next morning,
Chen Luyang took back the clean shirt, spread it flat on the kang, and smoothed out the wrinkles with his hands.

Then wear it!!!
hey~
Otherwise he would have concluded that it was Sister Yue who told Mother Chen the size, and it fits perfectly!
...No, it fits better than the one Sister Yue bought for herself~
Chen Luyang happily put on his coat, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and rode his bicycle to the machinery factory.

The weather now is cool in the morning and evening, and hot during the day.

It's warm when the sun comes out.

After dealing with the rubber workshop matters first, Chen Luyang felt hot, so he hung his coat in the office and went to the fusion workshop wearing only a shirt.

In the workshop, Cao Qinghang was leading everyone to analyze and study the designs of Italian engineers.

Seeing Chen Luyang coming in, Cao Qinghang waved:
"Chen'er, you're here just in time. Come and see what they wrote about Madagascar."

"okay!"

Chen Luyang walked over eagerly.

Standing next to Cao Qinghang, he looked at the part he pointed at, lowered his head and began to translate.

"This is about the anti-collision beam on the chassis of a car. Let me take a look..."

Chen Luyang is translating.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu said, "Hey? Xiao Chen, why are your clothes the same as Mr. Cao's?"

Um? ?

Chen Luyang and Cao Qinghang subconsciously glanced at each other.

I saw that both of them were wearing light blue shirts, and the style and even size of the shirts were almost the same.

"Huh? Xiao Chen'er, our clothes are exactly the same."

Cao Qinghang looked down at his own clothes, then looked up at Chen Luyang's clothes.

This piece of clothing was bought for him by Cao's mother when he went home on the weekend.

They said that this piece of clothing was new stock from a state-owned store, from the south, and the cut and material were both very good.

I didn’t expect that Chen Luyang was also wearing such a thing.

"It really is!"

Chen Luyang looked at his clothes with a happy expression on his face, but suddenly his smile froze.

wipe……

Case solved.

He actually thought that the size of the clothes was told to Mother Chen by Sister Yue.

Now take a look,
It was obvious that Mother Chen and Mother Cao went out together, and Mother Chen followed Mother Cao and bought a piece of clothing for herself.

As for the size, it is better to choose.

Cao Qinghang's height and weight are similar to mine, so there's no problem buying everything according to Cao Qinghang's size.
"Okay, forget about the clothes."

Cao Qinghang clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

Work until noon,
Chen Luyang used the excuse of going back to the rubber workshop to get something, ran back to the office and put on his work jacket.

This thing, no matter whether men or women, it's quite awkward to wear the same clothes.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, he found that Cao Qinghang had somehow put on his work jacket.

When the two of them met in the cafeteria with their lunch boxes, Chen Luyang felt helpless.

This is good,

They're both fucking identical, inside and out.

Xiao Wu looked at Chen Luyang and then at Cao Qinghang, wondering:

"No... Mr. Cao, Xiao Chen, are you two hot?"

Not only did everyone in the cafeteria wear shirts, but many even rolled up their sleeves because they felt too hot.

Only Chen Luyang and Cao Qinghang were like they were in confinement after childbirth, covered up with three layers of clothes inside and outside.

There were already many people in the cafeteria.

It was noisy and very hot.

Chen Luyang and Cao Qinghang were also very hot. But considering the clothes...

"Mr. Cao, take it off."

Chen Luyang decided to sacrifice himself with a righteous expression.

"I'm not hot, Xiao Chen'er, you can take off your clothes."

Cao Qinghang had the expression of an older brother caring about his younger brother.

As he spoke, Cao Qinghang also fastened the top button of his work clothes.

It looks more like confinement period.

Chen Luyang looked at Cao Qinghang with concern.

Really... a good brother!!!

All right! !
Since Cao Qinghang is willing to sacrifice himself, why should he be polite?

At that moment, Chen Luyang unbuttoned his coat with one hand, took it off, rolled up his arms, and started eating quickly.

Eat and eat,

Chen Luyang looked out through the window curiously!
"Eh? Isn't that Director Wang's car?"

I saw a small car honking along the road and driving out of the park.

"Our factory director has been running to the provincial capital every day lately. Last time, I heard that other workshops tried to stop our director from signing, but they failed."

Gossipy Xiao Wu asked Chen Luyang out of curiosity:
"Little Chen, do you think our factory will have some big moves from time to time?"

This question really stumped Chen Luyang.

"Even you don't know, so I don't know even more since I'm running around outside all day."

Chen Luyang, with a revolutionary optimism, said, "Maybe they've brought in some money to give us a raise."

Xiao Wu's attitude is very simple.

"I would like to see more industrial tickets issued."

Chen Luyang wondered: "Why do you want industrial tickets?"

Xiao Wu was a little shy: "Then when I get married, I have to buy a bicycle, a watch, and a sewing machine~"

Oh!
Chen Luyang's eyes widened. "How long have you known your date? Are you even considering getting married?"

Xiao Wu said proudly: "Of course! The Chairman said that any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism."

"Xiao Man and I originally went there with the intention of getting married. As men, we must make preparations in advance, right?"

Chen Luyang gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Responsible!!"

Xiao Wu blushed happily, "Come to think of it, I have to thank Mr. Cao."

Cao Qinghang was eating in silence.

Hearing Xiao Wu mention him, Cao Qinghang looked at him puzzledly:
"Why are you marrying me to thank me?"

Xiao Wu said happily: "Thank you for being a matchmaker!!"

"If you hadn't given the movie ticket to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen gave it to me, how could I, a worker in a workshop, have met such a wonderful girl like Xiao Man?"

Cao Qinghang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You, it's fate. It has nothing to do with me and Xiao Chen."

"Even if Xiao Chen and I weren't here, you and Xiao Man would have met somewhere else."

When Xiao Wu heard the word "fate", the smile on his face became even brighter.

Although we are all staunch proletarian materialists,
However, whenever something involves emotions, I can't help but lean towards metaphysics.

Especially the word "fate", it is really valuable!
but……

Xiao Wu looked at Cao Qinghang, and the smile on his face was gradually replaced by a layer of sadness.

Everyone is talking about fate now.

But Cao Qinghang and Jiang Xiaohua just weren't destined to be together.

There has been no news since Jiang Xiaohua left.

At first everyone would still discuss it, but as time went on, new gossip replaced the old gossip, and gradually everyone stopped talking about her.

We are all good brothers,
I am here under the moonlight, discussing marriage,

Seeing my brother living like a widow, I feel quite anxious too.

...We can’t go on like this!

Little Wu Yong spoke directly:
"Engineer Cao, there are many beautiful girls in Xiaoman's unit. When they organize a spring outing, you can come with me."

Cao Qinghang rolled his eyes.

"What am I going to do?"

Xiao Wu said anxiously: "Find a partner!!"

"Come with me later. Tell me which girl you like and I'll let Xiaoman introduce her to you!"

The more Xiao Wu spoke, the more excited he became!
"With your conditions, height, looks, and abilities!"

"It will definitely be popular with lesbians!!!"

Before Xiao Wu finished speaking, Cao Qinghang couldn't stand it anymore.

"Stop it! I have a partner."

Xiao Wu complained in his heart: "You can't even find a shadow of a person, what kind of partner is this?! This is nonsense!"

"Xiao Wu, stop worrying about me. Xiao Chen doesn't have a partner yet. Can you introduce someone to her?"

Cao Qinghang took the initiative and directly pulled Chen Luyang off the field.

Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up!

Yup!

And there is Xiao Chen!
He looked at Chen Luyang excitedly.
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Luyang said with a smug look on his face, "I have a partner too!"

Xiao Wu was shocked!

Xiao Wu was surprised!

Xiao Wu doesn’t believe it!!!

"No...what was your ex? Who was it?"

Not only Xiao Wu, but even Cao Qinghang was stunned.

He only knew that Chen Luyang and Chen Jinyue had a secret connection, but he really didn't expect that Chen Luyang actually got Chen Jinyue.

"What before...about the same time as you and Xiaoman~"

Chen Luyang spoke cheerfully.

"See this dress I'm wearing?"

"My future mother-in-law chose it."

puff……

Cao Qinghang almost spat out the cabbage and tofu in his mouth.

He subconsciously touched his shirt with his left hand and tucked the collar back into his coat.

You can’t wear this shirt anymore!

In the cafeteria, a group of young men were chatting while eating.

In the provincial compound, Wang Qingzhou knocked on the door of Director Yi of the Economic and Planning Commission again.

"Qingzhou! Last time you mentioned that you wanted to open an auto maintenance and repair center in Pianer City, the provincial leaders held several meetings and neither supported nor opposed your idea."

Director Yi brought Wang Qingzhou a cup of tea and sat next to him.

"Let's have a heart-to-heart talk behind closed doors."

"If you want to do this, the province may not be able to help much. You still have to find a way on your own."

Wang Qingzhou frowned.

"How about we try again?"

Director Yi waved his hand, motioning Wang Qingzhou to put his ear closer.

He lowered his voice and said:

"Old Wang, let me be frank with you."

"If your factory builds this auto repair and maintenance center anywhere in our province, the province will strongly support it."

"But you are in Pianercheng after all."

All the income and expenditure of the factory go to the local city, and the provincial capital gets no benefits at all.

Besides, it’s just a small car maintenance and repair center, the province will not waste time and energy to serve you!
