Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 124 Bai Yujie plans to move (Subscribe)
"Fengnian, you have made great contributions again."

Deputy Director Gao said with a smile on his face, but this achievement also deserves his praise, so he is also very happy.

Thinking of this, Gao Zhiyuan couldn't help but thank Zhang Anhong again. If this colleague hadn't suddenly fallen ill, he wouldn't have been able to get this benefit.

Sure enough, it is better to wait until a colleague has a seizure than to improve yourself!
"Whether it's a great achievement or not, it doesn't mean anything to me now."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, what can he get for his contribution now? Money or tickets?
He has so much money that he can't spend it all. He saves more than 100 yuan a month and has no way to spend it.

The same goes for tickets. He has all the necessary documents at home. If he needs anything, he can apply to the Ministry of First Machine Building. Given the level of respect he enjoys, it will most likely be approved.

Material needs are no longer lacking.

"Don't say that. Meritorious service should be rewarded. We are not capitalists. Even if workers work overtime, they still get allowances."

After Deputy Director Gao finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, but after thinking for a while, he really couldn't think of what to give Zhou Fengnian.

"But in a good year, I'll give you some regular tickets so you can have a good meal when you get back."

Deputy Director Gao had no choice but to do this. He thought for a long time and realized that the most he could give was tickets. Besides, he was in charge of logistics, so he had no shortage of these.

Meat coupons, cloth coupons, milk powder coupons and malted milk coupons. Zhou Fengnian's child was about to be born, so he had to prepare some milk powder in advance.

"Then I'm welcome. Thank you, boss. Haha."

After that, Zhou Fengnian moved closer to Deputy Director Gao and whispered, "The leadership team at the Second Machine Tool Factory is going to be reshuffled. Brother Gao, don't tell anyone."

Deputy Director Gao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Okay, brother, next time I have a chance, I'll go to your house for a meal and try your cooking."

They have assistants and other people behind them, so they would hide this matter from as many as possible.

Afterwards, Zhou Fengnian also separated from Deputy Director Gao and returned to the technical department to continue drawing.

Deputy Director Gao was also a man of action. He said he would give him some tickets, and they were delivered before he got off work in the afternoon.

It was packed in a thick envelope.

After Zhou Fengnian returned to the office, he opened the box and saw two kilograms of meat coupons, eight feet of cloth coupons, as well as tobacco, alcohol, and milk candy coupons.

Zhou Fengnian often bought candies. Sometimes when he had been drawing for a long time, he liked to put a candy in his mouth. His wife Zhou Yan also liked to eat it.

He no longer smokes or drinks, and the only pack of cigarettes he carries with him is to give to others, focusing on social skills.

He rarely drinks alcohol. Unless he is having dinner with his family, Zhou Fengnian usually doesn't drink at all.

It was just a bite to eat. The meat ticket was delivered just in time, otherwise he would have to ask someone else for a share.

Zhou Fengnian was busy until the end of the workday in the afternoon. He felt that it was almost time, so he got up and rushed to the machine tool workshop.

When he arrived, he found that some workers had begun to relax and were chatting idly.

Note that Zhou Fengnian arrived before returning to the machine tool to continue working.

Zhou Fengnian did not say anything about this. Once the task is completed, you can just take a rest. It is not good to be tense all the time. Besides, workers now have a high status and cannot be criticized without a proper reason.

"Yucheng, guard, what's going on?"

Zhou Fengnian came to the fully automatic CNC production line and asked the two guards.

"Mr. Zhou, everything is normal, but the accuracy error is 0.4%. I estimate that in another hour, I will have to replace the tool."

Zhao Yucheng reported and handed Zhou Fengnian a document with the precise dimensions of each part.

Zhou Fengnian nodded after taking a look. There was indeed no problem and the error was within an acceptable range. The requirements for this batch of parts were not high.

It has been running for eight hours, and the blanks were replenished twice in the middle.

"Okay, that's good. Oh, there's one more thing."

Zhou Fengnian asked, "Which of you two is free today? Can you stay with me for the whole night? You can go back and rest tomorrow. If you are busy, I will find someone else."

These two people are the most honest and obedient, so it would be best if we could let them stay.

Guard Duan said, "I'll stay, Mr. Zhou. I don't have much to do if I go back."

Zhao Yucheng then said, "Mr. Zhou, I can do that too. I can still rest during the day anyway."

"One person is enough. I'm counting on you to help me keep an eye on the workshop during the day tomorrow."

Zhou Fengnian pointed at Guard Duan and said, "Guard, you will work overtime with me tonight. Yucheng, you can go back and have a rest. Help me keep an eye on the machine tool workshop tomorrow."

"I understand, Mr. Zhou."

"Guard, go home and tell your family after work so they don't have to worry about you. The canteen will provide you with food and supper later."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he went to make arrangements for other people.

Just the two of them were not enough, so Zhou Fengnian found two more level four workers, and four people were enough to monitor a CNC production line.

Before getting off work, Zhou Fengnian went to the Propaganda Department.

When a female comrade saw Zhou Fengnian at the door, she smiled happily and asked, "Mr. Zhou? Why are you here? Are you here to look for our Yan Zi?"

After hearing this, the others also turned their heads and saw Zhou Fengnian at the door. They couldn't help but tease him, "Don't talk nonsense. Yan Zi is someone else's wife. But why did Mr. Zhou come to look for Yan Zi at work? Is he missing her?"

"It's possible that this couple is too affectionate every day."

Even Zhou Fengnian couldn't handle this group of open-minded women, so he quickly asked, "I have something to do with Zhou Yan. Is she not here?"

"She went to see the leader. She will probably be back soon. Mr. Zhou, why don't you come in for a while? Have a cup of tea."

Zhou Fengnian quickly shook his head. Although there were male employees inside, their number was small and they hadn't said anything yet. If he went in, he didn't know what he would say.

Moreover, he noticed Xue Peihua was there too, so he made an excuse to leave and prepared to wait for Zhou Yan to come back nearby.

After Zhou Fengnian left, Xue Peihua raised his head, looked at the door for a while with an unwilling look on his face, and then continued to do his work with his head down.

"If she had taken a step back, she would be the one who is proud of the factory now."

Zhou Fengnian waited for a while and it was time to get off work. At this time, Zhou Yan happened to come back.

"Fengnian? Why are you waiting for me in the Propaganda Department? What's the matter?"

"Yes, there is something. I have to be on duty at the factory today to watch over the machines. Let me take you home first, and then I will go back to the factory."

Zhou Fengnian said that although Zhou Yan could walk back by herself, he was still worried.

If you fall, something might happen, so it's better to be careful.

"I'm busy again. But you have to take care of yourself. The weather is so cold."

Zhou Yan knew that her husband was busy with important matters, so she had to remind Zhou Fengnian to be more careful and not get sick.

After Zhou Yan put the documents back to the Propaganda Department, she followed Zhou Fengnian out.

“A good year.”

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Forget it, let's talk about it when you have time. This matter is not urgent."

Zhou Fengnian turned his head and took a glance, then said with a smile: "Comrade Zhou Yan, I didn't expect you to be a master of fishing as well."

"Fishing? I'm not fishing."

Zhou Fengnian said, "Speaking half of the words and leaving the other half unsaid is similar to fishing. It's just like fishing. You're just setting the hook to attract people's interest." "Is that what you call fishing?"

Zhou Yan reacted, then snorted and said, "It's true, but you are busy now, and it has nothing to do with us, so there is no rush for the time being."

"Then go ahead and tell me. It'll take some time before we get home. You can tell me while I ride my bike."

After Zhou Fengnian took Zhou Yan on his bicycle, he pedaled away.

Zhou Yan was also in the back seat, hugging Zhou Fengnian, and said to him, "It's about Deputy Director Bai. She seems to have had a big fight with her family recently, so she plans to move out.

In the afternoon, he asked me where I lived, and seemed to want to move to our area.”

"Move out? Hasn't she always lived by herself?"

"She seems to be living in the same building with her family, or something like that. Anyway, they are quite close."

As Zhou Fengnian listened, he roughly understood.

Bai Yujie's arguments with her family about blind dates are becoming more and more intense, and now she is thinking of moving away.

Maybe because I had a good chat with Zhou Yan, I planned to move to a nearby place and hide at home for a while.

However, Zhou Fengnian felt that this was completely Bai Yujie's impulsive idea. She also has a daughter. What would happen to her daughter if she moved out?

If a child of a few years old is not taken care of, something bad may happen. I can live with my family there and entrust my daughter to them.

After returning home, Zhou Fengnian told Zhou Yan about these things.

After listening to this, Zhou Yan nodded in agreement. Before, she only thought that Bai Yujie was forced to get married by her family, which was similar to her previous experience, but she forgot that Bai Yujie also had a child.

It's impossible for a woman to move out with her children.

"This is the reward the factory gave me today for manufacturing a fully automatic CNC production line. Here are some receipts. Keep them."

After Zhou Fengnian handed the envelope given to him by Deputy Director Gao to Zhou Yan, he continued, "For dinner, you can ask the fourth sister to ask the eldest brother to help make it, or the fourth sister can make it herself. I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute, put on some thick clothes, it's cold in the factory at night."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, she took out a cotton coat from the closet and put it on Zhou Fengnian.

Although there must be a coal stove in the factory workshop, Zhou Fengnian just let his wife put clothes on him.

"Then I'm leaving. You guys should bolt the door at night."

After giving some instructions, Zhou Fengnian got on his bike and set off. When he was riding out of the house, he happened to meet his fourth sister Zhou Chunhua who had just returned.

The fourth sister asked where she was going, and Zhou Fengnian replied that she should go ask her sister-in-law, and then rode away on his bicycle.

After arriving at the factory, Zhou Fengnian went to the canteen to get dinner, and then planned to go back to the workshop to eat.

At this time, most of the workers had left, and only Zhou Fengnian and four others were left.

Zhou Fengnian asked: "Have you eaten yet? Or have you finished eating?"

"We haven't eaten yet, Mr. Zhou."

One person said, "Let's go home and eat."

"How can I not eat while on duty? By the way, this is a sudden shift and the factory didn't issue me a meal ticket."

Zhou Fengnian suddenly remembered, and then took out a few meal tickets from his pocket: "Use mine first, go eat, the factory will reissue them.

Two per person, and one more for a midnight snack."

After hearing this, Guard Duan and the other two workers took the meal tickets and went to get their meals.

After dinner, the four of them began their night of duty watching over the machines.

Zhou Fengnian also measured the parts and when he felt that the accuracy was a bit poor, he replaced the tool with a new one and continued machine processing.

The processed parts were placed aside, and the only sound throughout the night was the sound of the machines.

Zhou Fengnian asked Guard Duan and one of the workers to go to bed first. He and another person would watch the first half of the night, and they would take over in the second half.

It is quite boring to be on duty and watch the machine, but in order to test the longest operating time, Zhou Fengnian had to continue watching it.

From night to day, from the start of work in the morning to the end of the next day.

Zhou Fengnian heard some unusual noises on the production line. He stopped to check and found the places that were damaged due to over-operation. He replaced the parts and checked them all again.

The continuous operation time has exceeded his imagination, and the accuracy can be maintained for a relatively long time, which can fully adapt to large-scale continuous processing and production.

At this time, the factory also received a task from the ministry, and the fully automatic CNC production line temporarily produced four units.

However, the deadline for the task is the end of next year.

It can basically be regarded as the task of the new factory, and there is no need to rush into production before the New Year.

When it was time to get off work, Zhou Fengnian did not waste much time. After checking the workshop, he prepared to go back.

He had been in the machine tool workshop for more than thirty hours straight, and even though he was full of energy, he still felt tired.

Zhou Yan even suggested walking back, but this was rejected by Zhou Fengnian.

Even though I felt tired, I still had the energy to ride the bike steadily.

After returning home, Zhou Fengnian ate something simple, washed up and went to bed.

White House.

"Dad, stop talking. If you really don't want me to live here, I'll move out this week."

Bai Yujie spoke in a cold tone to an old man with gray hair sitting on the sofa.

"Linlin, you don't have to worry about it. I'll take her to the nursery and you can pick her up after get off work."

Bai Kang, who was standing by, saw that the relationship between his cousin and uncle was becoming increasingly tense, and he quickly advised: "Yujie, uncle doesn't mean that. Doesn't he care about you?"

"Since you care about me, you should do what I want instead of forcing me."

Bai Yujie interrupted Bai Kang and said, "Brother, you don't have to say anything. I will never marry Lu Junyuan."

"Who asked you to get married? I asked you to go on a blind date!"

Father Bai slapped the sofa hard and said angrily, "You are still young, do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life? I told you not to see anyone, do you still listen to me as your father?

You were so busy that you didn't go to pick up Linlin a few times, and you asked your mother to pick her up. You shouldn't have been the deputy factory director in the first place!"

"Then you can remove me! From now on I will concentrate on being a good wife at home."

After Bai Yujie finished speaking, she picked up her bag and walked away with her daughter. Bai Kang shouted a few words from behind, but still failed to stop Bai Yujie.

"Don't worry about her, let her go on her own."

Father Bai was so angry that he shouted directly. Bai Kang, who was standing by, quickly poured a glass of water, handed it over and said, "Uncle, what are you doing? Yujie is doing very well in the factory. She is much more capable than I was at the beginning."

"If you can handle things at the factory but not at home, how can you be considered capable?"

Father Bai was so angry that he didn't want to talk about his daughter anymore. After a while, he asked, "Xiaokang, how are you now? Are you doing well in the Electric Appliance Factory?"
