Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 10: Ex-Partner Causes Trouble
"What do you need these resistor wires and metal sheets for? They sound like something only electricians would use."

Although Song Chang knew something, he was not specialized in electricity, so he knew what these materials were used for, but he was not clear about what Zhou Fengnian was planning to do.

"These things are almost impossible to buy outside, even with industrial rolls, but there are quite a few in the electrician class. I'll ask for you."

These things are hard to buy because they are specialized, but they are not uncommon for electricians who specialize in power systems.

This time, Zhou Fengnian helped the steel rolling mill. After repairing the machine, he also left a special maintenance instruction manual. It was just a small piece of material and nothing to Song Chang.

After a while, Song Chang came back with some electronic components that Zhou Fengnian needed. "Technician Zhou, is this what you need?"

"Yes, thank you Song Ke, do you think I should take some?"

"Hey, hey, forget it. If you do this, won't we both make mistakes?"

When Song Chang saw Zhou Fengnian was about to take out money, he quickly stopped him; taking some materials could be considered as reporting damages, but if he accepted the money he would be making a mistake.

"Thank you, Song Ke. If I come up with any results, I'll give you a copy."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he put the money back. He was just pretending, and it was much easier to ask Song Chang for electronic parts than to ask Luo Cheng for them.

Besides, Song Chang is, after all, the head of the technical department of the steel rolling mill. His technician level is a bit low, but Song Chang is now acting as the head of the technical department and can no longer be regarded as a technician.

Song Chang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Technician Zhou. You repaired two machine tools in one day, which was a big help to us. This is nothing."

"Song Ke, if you need help in the future, feel free to come to me. Compared to German machine tools, I am more proficient in Soviet machines."

"Okay, I'll come to you if I have any problem."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhou Fengnian left work and ordered a dinner when he left the steel mill.

The mission this time has been successfully completed, and we also obtained some electric heater parts.

After returning to the machinery factory, Zhou Fengnian went to the technical department and returned Luo Cheng's bicycle first.

And while Luo Cheng was working overtime, he handed in the out-of-town task slip, and was given an A again.

After all, the task was completed ahead of schedule and received great praise from the steel mill.

After returning to the dormitory and finishing his meal, Zhou Fengnian began to prepare to make Hot Pot.

The sky was clear and white clouds were visible. The radio was broadcasting good news in the news, and the supply to the city of Sijiu was slowly being restored.

This news excited all the workers, as the previous food coupon ration was only 70% to 80%.

The full ration has now been restored, and the broadcast also said that the proportion of fine grains will gradually increase.

It means that the disaster year has passed and there is hope for the future.

Deputy Director's Office.

Boom boom boom!
"Come in."

After the door was opened, Zhang Anhong saw that the person who came in was Xue Peihua, and couldn't help but ask: "Xiaohua, you are not in the broadcasting room during working hours, what are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to ask for help from uncle. Someone has offended me recently. Uncle, can you help me talk to him?"

Xue Peihua said coquettishly after entering the room, and at the same time poured a cup of new tea for Zhang Anhong: "Uncle Zhang, you must help me this time."

"Nonsense, this is an abuse of power, Xiaohua, you are making me make a mistake!"

Although Zhang Anhong was scolding, his face was full of doting when he asked: "What's going on? I don't believe that anyone in the factory would bully you. Just don't bully others!" "Really, Uncle Zhang, I was bullied. It was obviously that Zhou Fengnian who pursued me, but I saw that he was doing well, so I was going to take him to meet my parents, but he changed his mind and didn't want to go. He also said that he wanted to separate from me. Uncle Zhang, do you think he was playing a trick on me?"

Xue Peihua kept complaining while sitting on the sofa, looking like she would not leave unless she agreed.

"Oh, Zhou Fengnian, the one from the technical department, right? Doesn't he care about you a lot? What's going on?"

Zhang Anhong had met Zhou Fengnian before. He looked okay, but he was a bit scheming. He must have seen Xiaohua's family background, and he didn't have any good plans when he pursued Xiaohua.

However, if such a person took the initiative to leave Xiaohua, Zhang Anhong would most likely not believe it and would think there must be some inside story.

"I just made a small request, but it's not too much, after all, his family situation is special."

Under Zhang Anhong's gaze, Xue Peihua was a little embarrassed to state the request she had made at that time.

After listening to those requests, Zhang Anhong curled his lips. Isn't this just marrying a son-in-law? Then they separated because of disagreements.

"Xiaohua, if you want to separate, then separate. It can only be said that you two are not like-minded. Besides, you are so outstanding, why worry about not being able to find outstanding revolutionary companions?"

Xue Peihua shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Zhang, I just can't accept it. Please help me."

"No matter what, I can't help you bully others just because of this. What will happen if the news gets out?"

Zhang Anhong paused, then sighed and said, "But recently, the communes around Sijiu City have applied to the factory for repairs to tractors and seed drills. I'll arrange for them to run some.

But I can only do this much. You have to know that it is the technical department. Even if I am the deputy director, I cannot make personnel changes at will!"

Xue Peihua asked: "Go to the countryside? Can Zhou Fengnian go to a few more communes? It would be best if he could stay in the countryside for half a year!"

"Don't mess around!"

Zhang Anhong scolded her, and then seeing Xue Peihua's unconvinced look, he comforted her, "I'll make the arrangements. Don't ask any more questions about this. Go back to the radio station."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Uncle Zhang."

After Xue Peihua finished speaking, she stood up and left.

After everyone left, Zhang Anhong shook his head and then took out a document from the table.

"Mr. Luo, where's your kettle? Lend it to me."

"What? No water? I think it's getting cold. You'll have to run if you want hot water."

Luo Cheng looked at the thermos and said that it seemed that this was the water he had drawn in the morning and it was a little cold now.

"No need for hot water. Let me show you something. The water is just right when it's cold."

Zhou Fengnian took the thermos and took a look. It was almost full of water, but it was no longer steaming.

"I have researched a device that can quickly boil water with an electric heating wire. I just finished it. Let me show you the effect, Mr. Luo. Please give me some comments."

After saying that, Zhou Fengnian put the hot water heater into the kettle, connected the other end to the plug, pressed the switch and waited quietly.

After a few minutes of no response, Luo Cheng asked curiously: "Xiao Zhou, what do you want me to see?"

Woohoo!

Before he finished speaking, hot steam slowly came out of the kettle, which immediately calmed Luo Cheng down. Then the steam became more and more, and soon it was humming like a kettle boiling water.

Luo Cheng looked surprised and asked, "Is the water in the kettle boiling?"
