Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 323: You, Chen Gaogong, can’t get into Peking University?
"What do you mean you can't go to Peking University?"

Yu Anshan's gaze was fixed on Chen Luyang, with a hint of doubt on his face.

"What I mean is, what if my special enrollment fails and I can't go to Peking University?"

Chen Luyang was a little worried.

The factory has already paved the way for itself and selected the people.

As a result, I failed again.

It will be difficult to decide whether to replace people or do something else at that time.

Although Director Gao clearly wrote in the letter to me that the school would admit me as a special admissions student.

But after all, I haven't received the admission letter yet.
What if something goes wrong and the special enrollment plan fails?

"Engineer Chen, you're so talented, but you can't get into Peking University as a special admissions student. Is that right?"

Yu Anshan's words almost choked Chen Luyang to death.

"Okay, don't have too much psychological burden."

Yu Anshan looked at Chen Luyang, whose expression was stiff, and said with a smile:
"Our factory has never had a student from Peking University."

"You, Chen Luyang, are really going to get into Peking University, but you'll be the first one to get in."

"Go back and get ready."

……

Walking out of the machinery factory office building,
Chen Luyang looked at the starry sky and took a deep breath.

This matter has made it difficult to back down!

I don’t want to go to Peking University now, but the factory won’t agree!

But~~
Work in hand, and reading at my fingertips!!!
Cool! !

Chen Luyang ran angrily to the bicycle shed, swept his long legs across the front beam of the bicycle, pedaled hard, and rode home quickly to tell his parents the good news!

When I learned that my son could both study and work,
Mother Chen almost jumped for joy.

"Hey, how come my son is so amazing?"

"Come, let mommy kiss you!"

Chen Luyang immediately bent down and offered his left cheek to Chen's mother's mouth.

“My son is awesome!!!”

A flower almost bloomed on Chen Mule's face.

"That's all thanks to my mom's teaching!"

Chen Luyang happily hugged his little old lady and gave his mother a big kiss with pouting lips.

"Ouch! You kissed me and spit all over my face."

Chen's mother pretended to be disgusted and pushed Chen Luyang away, but her eyes were so happy that they were curved.

Father Chen, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, also had a rosy face due to his happiness.

"I said, our factory has always been caring and loving towards its employees, so we have to work hard to repay the factory."

"Second brother, if you go to Pianer City, what will happen to the workers at the maintenance center?"

Chen Luyang said, "Dad, Deputy Director Yu told me to select people in the factory in the next two days, and then I will lead them to Pianer City."

"The factory asked you to select people?"

Father Chen was worried and said, "Then Dad will go with you!!"

"You're a kid and don't know anything. Dad can help you when he gets there."

Chen Luyang said, "Dad, don't even think about it."

"I told Deputy Director Yu about this this afternoon. I wanted you to go to Pianer City with me, but he refused on the spot."

He had already figured it out.

The machinery factory intended to keep Chen Dazhi firmly locked in the factory.

There's no way he could be let go except in the factory.

"Your dad can't go with you, but your mom will!"

Chen's mother felt sorry for her son: "You have never left home since you were a child. It's not okay for you to go so far away without someone to take care of you."

Chen Luyang quickly refused.

"Mom, I'm old enough to take care of myself."

Mother Chen rolled her eyes at him and asked, "How old are you?"

"How old are you? It's spring and you still don't know how to take off your cotton pants. Your crotch is sweating all the time."

Chen Luyang puffed out his neck, grabbed the large cotton pants on his legs and said proudly:
"This is called keeping warm in spring and keeping cool in autumn. We need to keep warm when spring comes."

Father Chen was speechless: "It's spring, why don't you keep covering it until next year's New Year!"

"I think the welding equipment in our factory is not as strong as the ones on your legs."

Chen Luyang was unmoved and said cheerfully, "Just weld it, I'll keep it covered for a few more days."

"My mother worked so hard to make me a pair of big cotton pants. I have to wear them for a few more days."

Mother Chen muttered.

"Just cover it!"

"When you cover your lips and they get a big blister, I see you won't cover it anymore."

……

Sometimes, Chen Luyang is so convinced that he is definitely his parents’ biological son!

Let's put aside the dominant factors such as appearance and personality for now.

Just the fact that the mouth has been blessed is definitely hereditary!!

The night before, Chen's mother said that Chen Luyang's lips would be covered with blisters.
The next morning, a bump appeared on Chen Luyang's lip, which was quite painful when touched.

But the canteen made braised spareribs at noon that day.

Chen Luyang took the meat ticket he was given and got a portion of spareribs, then sat back on the stool.

While gnawing on the ribs with difficulty, his eyes began to wander around.

Since Deputy Director Yu said so, he can choose the people to bring to Pianer City by himself.

Then he must choose carefully!

"This person looks good, but seems to be new... Newcomers probably don't have good skills, so we can't hire them."

Chen Luyang glanced at the young man in front of him on the left, and made a cross in his heart!
"This guy seems to be a key member of Uncle Jin's workshop... He doesn't seem to be a key member either. His skills are too advanced. Uncle Jin is so stingy, so he definitely can't let him go."

Chen Luyang's eagle eyes like a sniper swept across the big brother in front of him on the right, and he made a cross in his heart again!
"Hey... this little girl is pretty, it would be great to take her with you~... But it's not convenient to bring a little girl with you away from home!"

Chen Luyang looked at the little girl with two big braids behind him with regret, and crossed out his heart again!
Just as Chen Luyang was about to look at his back in a clockwise order! !

Song Liaosha's big face appeared in front of him.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Song Liaosha looked curious: "You've been talking nonsense since you entered the cafeteria. What's that? Tell me about it."

Chen Luyang leaned forward and said to Song Liaosha with a mysterious look on his face:
"Dasong, do you want to go to Pianer City?"

Song Liaosha nodded: "I do. The big brother who gave me the Coke last time also told me to go find him when I have time!"

Chen Luyang smacked his lips. "Damn! Not this kind of going. I mean, do you want to work in Pianer City?"

Song Liaosha was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Chen Luyang waved his hand and whispered into Song Liaosha's ear, "The factory is going to build an auto maintenance and repair center in Pianer City, and the factory director asked me to select people. Do you want to go?"

Song Liaosha refused without hesitation: "I don't want to."

Chen Luyang asked: "Why?"

"Brother, I'm in charge of supply and marketing at the factory now. It's very exciting. I travel all over the world and see the world."

What Song Liaosha said makes sense and has a basis in reason.

"If I went to your place, my body would be stiff."

"Although Pianer City is nice, there are so many wonderful places in our motherland. I want to see more." Chen Luyang nodded. "It's true that I like to travel, but after all, it was the factory director who asked me to select people. I thought if you went there, you might be able to find some good opportunities in Pianer City."

Song Liaosha laughed: "Brother, this is not right."

"Now that we have reform and opening up, there are opportunities everywhere. Maybe in a few days, when the country opens its doors, there will be even more opportunities!"

Song Liaosha put her arm around Chen Luyang's shoulders, looking optimistic:
"Besides, I work in the supply and marketing department, and I can take the train to Pianercheng to see you every now and then."

"If I really go to Pianer City, I still have younger brothers and sisters and my dad at home. What will they do?"

Seeing that his good brother had made up his mind, Chen Luyang said, "Okay, then I'll pick someone else."

Song Liaosha took two bites of the ribs and suddenly remembered something:

"Brother, for your maintenance and repair center, besides those with technical skills, shouldn't you also hire some skilled people?"

"Good at fighting?" Chen Luyang didn't quite understand.

"You mean one that can fight?"

Song Liaosha said: "Brother, it's not about being able to fight, but about being able to handle the situation, being quick and tough."

"Think about it, a repair center isn't open to the public. Besides the skilled technicians who can tighten screws, there have to be a few hard-working and capable people who can get the job done."

The provincial machinery factory is a place where experts gather, so it must have a factory security department.

Not to mention being in a strange place like Pianer Town.

Chen Luyang suddenly understood!
"Alright! Combining civil and military skills, do you have any brothers to recommend?"

Song Liaosha recommended:
"There are some good guys in the mailroom. Do you want one?"

Chen Luyang: "Yes! Please help me choose two or three brothers, preferably those with open personalities, good physical conditions, and single."

Song Liaosha: "Don't worry, brother! Leave this matter to me, I will help you take care of it."

Chen Luyang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Then I'll wait for your good news!"

The two of them chatted happily, and the sounds of other people eating in the cafeteria seemed to become blurred, and the air was filled with a sense of anticipation for the future.

"But brother, if you set up a maintenance center in Pianer City, it would be convenient for us to go to Pianer City in the future."

Song Liaosha complained a bit, "You don't know, the hostel near the workshop in that part of town is really not easy to stay in, and the people there are not friendly either. Every time I go there I feel like I owe them something."

"Next time I go to Pianer City, I can stay with you!"

Chen Luyang patted his chest!

"What are we talking about, brothers? I have a bed to sleep on, and you have a bunk on the floor!"

"...Dasong, what do you think of that guy serving food over there?"

……

For the whole afternoon, Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha were thinking about candidates as if they were inspecting soldiers on a battlefield.

But after choosing for a long time, I didn’t find many that I could find, and my eyes were almost dazzled.

Just when he was thinking about the person, he unexpectedly received a notice from the factory office in the afternoon, asking him to attend the reform and opening-up advanced commendation conference on Friday.

Chen Luyang let out a long breath.

Finally, the commendation...!
How long have we been waiting for this!!
He went to the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department to revise the manuscript so many times, and finally it was time to give the award speech.

Although this is also a commendation meeting, the number of people being commended is limited.

Only the factory director, Wang Qingzhou, was named a pioneer of reform and opening up in the province.

Chen Luyang and two other comrades were named advanced workers in reform and opening up.

One of them is the organizer of the provincial capital furniture market.

The other is the head of a kvass company.

Due to the small number of people,
So after the commendation, everyone had to go on stage to give a commendation speech, talking about their personal achievements and contributions during the reform and opening up.

As the May Fourth Youth Day is approaching,

The audience at this commendation conference was mainly composed of young representatives from various factories and units.

In the machinery factory, Cao Qinghang, Xiao Wu and Song Liaosha all qualified to attend the meeting.

Song Liaosha is fine.

As Chen Luyang's number one fan and lackey since childhood, Song Liaosha is absolutely professional in promoting Brother Chen.

"Don't worry, bro!"

"When you're on stage, just speak boldly!"

"If anyone dares not to applaud you, I'll slap him in the face and grab his hand to applaud you!"

Song Liaosha is a tall and strong man, and he clenched his fists when he spoke threatening words.

Chen Luyang quickly grabbed Song Liaosha.

"Song, I'm evaluating advanced workers, not martial arts masters."

"We must win people over with virtue!"

"Besides, we must trust the political qualities of our comrades!"

Chen Luyang said seriously:
"When I end on a high note, the atmosphere will be set and everyone will applaud."

"We don't have to worry about that!"

"Okay!" Song Liaosha said confidently.

"Come on, brother, I'll treat you to a haircut tonight, so we can go and give the award ceremony in high spirits!"

"let's go!!"

……

After getting his hair cut, Chen Luyang went home feeling refreshed with his hairy head.

As soon as I entered the house, before I could even drink a sip of water,
Chen's mother took out a shirt.

"Come here, son~ Mom bought you a shirt, try it on to see if it fits!"

Chen Luyang took off his vest and put on the shirt his mother bought for him.

"Mom, I already have several shirts. You don't need to buy me more."

“Isn’t this a waste of money?”

He is a grown man, so he just needs to have two sets of clothes to change into.

You’re not a little girl, why do you buy so many clothes?
Mother Chen helped him button his shirt while saying:

"Why not buy it?"

"If you stay at home all day, forget about buying new clothes, no one will care if you're naked all day long!"

"I have to wear new clothes when I go on stage to receive an award!"

Chen's mother looked at Chen Luyang from front to back to see if the clothes were large or small, and she kept muttering as she looked:

"Society is so great now! There are still state-owned stores selling clothes, and the styles are so beautiful."

"Back then, our family was poor, and every time your father attended an event, I would buy the cloth and make it for him."

Speaking of which,
Father Chen was lying on the bed with his legs crossed on the edge of the kang.

Suddenly, he turned around gracefully and said with a smug look on his face:
"The first time I went on stage as a representative of advanced workers in the workshop, I was wearing the clothes your mother made for me, and the stitching was crooked."

Mother Chen glared at him angrily.

"If you dislike it, don't wear it!"

Father Chen glared!
"Who's disgusted? I love that dress. If I wasn't too fat to fit into it, I'd still be wearing it!"

The life of the first two people was not so good, and there were three children at home.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen really saved money to provide for their three children's food and schooling, and Mr. Chen only had one or two work clothes to wear casually throughout the year.

That dress was the first one Chen's mother made by herself, using the sewing machine she borrowed from Mrs. Wang next door.

Chen Luyang was delighted to hear this.

"My dad is fat and can't wear it, but I can wear it!!"
