Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 71 Rehearsal
"Dad, I have it."

Chen Luyang didn't have time to swallow the rice in his mouth, so he picked up the steamed meat and put it back into Chen Dazhi's lunch box.

This morning,

He just stood by and talked, responsible for conveying messages and explaining.

But Chen Dazhi works in the workshop with real hands and exerts physical effort.

Such a hot day, such a stuffy workshop,

Chen Dazhi was a bit fat, and he would sweat a lot when he moved. His clothes were soaked through so many layers that water would come out if he wrung them out.

He felt so distressed watching this, how could he still snatch Chen Dazhi’s big steamed meat!

Chen Dazhi glared at me and said, "Just eat it if I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Luyang didn't listen to him and directly picked up the meat with a chopstick:

"I haven't finished what's in my bowl yet. I can't eat any more."

Father Chen looked at Chen Luyang's behavior and said, "You are the one who never gets enough of what you see and eats. And are there times when you can't eat anymore?"

Chen Luyang: "How can I not have a time when I can't eat! I've been trying to lose weight recently."

lose weight?

Father Chen: "What do you mean by losing weight?"

These days, it’s only been a few years since everyone had enough to eat.

The difficult times of the past still give people nightmares.

In their minds, as long as the person can eat, no matter how sick he is, he can still be saved.

Everyone only knows about "eating" and has no idea what "losing weight" means.

Chen Luyang said seriously, "This meat is too fatty. I can't eat it. Otherwise, I'll get sleepy in the afternoon, which will affect my translation work."

Hearing that it would affect his work, Chen's father's expression became serious.

"Losing weight means not eating fat?"

Chen Luyang was amused: "Otherwise, it's my dad! He's really sharp! He has a strong ability to understand things!"

Jin Dakui looked at the loving father and filial son and couldn't help but speak:
"I'm talking to Lao Chen,"

"Do you two want to eat that meat? If not, give it to me. I'm not on a diet!"

Father Chen gave Old Jintou a fierce look and pointed at him and cursed:

"I say, Old Jin, how can you be so shameless? You're a grown man, yet you're still trying to steal meat from my son!"

Saying,

Chen's father took a pair of chopsticks in each hand and carefully separated the fat and lean parts of the steamed meat, and threw the lean part into Chen Luyang's lunch box.

"Eat, you're all skinny."

After Father Chen finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks, mixed the fat meat into the stewed potatoes, and swallowed it in one big mouthful.

Chen Luyang picked up a long piece of lean meat from the lunch box and stuffed it into his mouth. A happy smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said to his father:
"Dad, this meat smells so good!"

Father Chen looked at Chen Luyang's smiling face and scolded him, "Silly son..."

Chen Luyang was in the period of his youth when he loved to eat. He picked up the lunch box and his chopsticks never stopped moving, shoveling food into his mouth.

Chen Dazhi looked at his son eating, with a hint of heartache in his eyes, as well as full of pride and satisfaction!

Although Chen Luyang entered the fusion workshop and even taught classes in the factory, he was featured in the newspaper.

But in fact, Chen's father has always been secretly worried. He is afraid that his son will not do his job well, anger his boss, and not get along well with his colleagues.

He seemed to be indifferent on the surface, but he had inquired about it countless times in private.

Today in the workshop,
It was the first time that Father Chen saw his son standing next to the Japanese experts and translating for a group of technicians and R&D experts in the factory.

Although Chen Luyang is the youngest,
But when standing with those experts, they are not inferior at all.

Even when she heard something seriously, she frowned slightly, just like Chen's mother.

Chen Dazhi looked at his son and then at Jin Dakui.

There's a look of showing off in his eyes!

Look, my son smashed it!

translate!

Cultural man!
Jin Da Kui rolled his eyes in response and turned to chat with his eldest disciple.

I don't want to bother with these two Chens.

……

at the same time,

As the National Day celebration performance is about to begin, all the programs have begun intensive rehearsals.

The factory's publicity department and office even put forward the slogan "All work must be based on the performance first" and arranged for workers to participate in the performance.

Even Cao Qinghang was called in by the Propaganda Department for a talk, and they insisted that he perform a show.

That afternoon, Chen Luyang asked for leave from the workshop and went to the factory's small auditorium to rehearse the program.

When they arrived at the small auditorium, the other female performers, Director Li from the factory Women's Federation, and several comrades from the Propaganda Department were already waiting there.

Seeing Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha, Director Li came over and said seriously:
"Teacher Chen, Secretary Song, today's rehearsal is very important. Chairwoman Sui of the Women's Federation will also be attending."

"Let's treat today as a formal performance. We must shout our slogans loud and clear! We must give a good performance."

Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha nodded numbly.

After the recent rehearsals, the two of them have become completely shameless.

Anyway, there is no way to avoid this matter, so it is better to close your eyes and shout it out loud.

"Okay! You two get ready. When Chairman Sui arrives, we'll start."

Entering the auditorium,

Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha walked straight behind the curtain.

The Women's Federation's program is a collective program similar to the Da Kuaiban.
In the early stage, female comrades sang praises to the benefits and significance of family planning.
Later on, Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha came out from behind the curtain, pushing banners.

The two waited behind the curtain for a while, and then they heard applause suddenly break out in the auditorium.

After a while, gongs and drums sounded, and the two people paid attention and listened carefully to the lines on the stage.

After hearing the words "Family planning is the greatest honor",

As planned, Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha came out from behind the curtain, pushing the banners.

Pushing and shouting at the top of my lungs,
"Late marriage and late childbearing, fewer and better births, happy families, and harmonious society."

After shouting the slogans and standing on the stage, Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha were dumbfounded.

"Brother, didn't they say that there would only be one Chairman Sui? How many chairmen does our factory have?"
