Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 150 (please subscribe)

It took more than two months to build half of a car. A few years ago, this speed would have been laughed at by our sister companies.

However, Zhou Fengnian focuses his main energy on upgrading machine tool technology. It is already very good that the progress in car manufacturing is as fast as it is now.

Moreover, tires and seats can be purchased directly, so the speed will be faster and faster, and the car will definitely be completed before the end of the year.

Zhou Fengnian comes to the workshop for daily routine inspections and pays great attention to "his car".

He agreed with Deputy Leader Li that after this car was built, it would be left at the machine tool factory for him to use, and the previous car would be returned to the ministry.

After a new car comes out, it needs frequent and long-term testing, and Zhou Fengnian is willing to be the first one to do so.

After checking the time to get off work in the workshop, Zhou Fengnian gave instructions with a smile and then took a bus home.

His commute to get off work is now much easier than before. Riding a bicycle wasn't too tiring before, but it could never compare to taking a car.

After work, Zhou Fengnian took a bus home. When he arrived home, Zhou Yan had not returned yet, so his second sister-in-law was looking after the children alone.

After Zhou Fengnian came back, his second sister-in-law could also take the children back and do the housework.

At this time, Zhou Xianyang was almost eight months old, just at the stage of moving from crawling to learning to walk. As Zhou Fengnian watched his son crawling on the bed, an idea he had long ago popped up in his mind.

Then he took out a pen and paper and drew a baby walker while looking at his son.

It's very simple, just four outrigger wheels, a support body, and a cover cloth; even Zhou Fengnian, who has not learned much about carpentry, can make it, but I don't care whether it is regular or not.

I will take the blueprints to find a carpenter tomorrow. The labor and material costs will not exceed three dollars.

After a while, Zhou Yan also came back from work. Zhou Fengnian came out and was about to ask what to eat for dinner when he saw Zhou Yan carrying a little girl.

Zhou Fengnian took one look and asked curiously, "Hey, isn't this Comrade Yujie's daughter, Yanyan? How did you bring her back?"

"Sister Yujie will be busy today and may not be able to make it to the evening, so please ask me to help bring him back and take care of him, and then pick him up when she comes back."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It just so happens that our home is not too far from Sister Yujie's. Xiao Qing'an, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"toffee!"

"I can give you two pills after you finish your meal, but you have to wait until you finish your meal before you take them!"

When Zhou Yan heard that the little guy had the same hobby as her, the smile on her face became even brighter.

".Can I eat it before meals?"

When Bai Qing'an heard that there really was milk candy, she nodded her head like a chicken eating rice; she could only eat it at her grandma's house before, and she hadn't eaten milk candy for a long time.

"No, you have to eat after dinner!"

Zhou Yan looked at Bai Qingan's greedy little chubby face and couldn't help but smile and pinched it twice.

The person cooking tonight is Zhou Fengnian. Ever since his elder brother Zhou Weitian went to work as a chef in the machine tool factory, he rarely comes to Zhou Weitian's house to cook dinner.

But this is what Zhou Fengnian said. Now Zhou Weitian just lacks experience. He knows how to cook, and he just needs to become proficient in it.

There's no need to keep coming to my house to listen to his advice, because it's just a few words of advice from experience anyway.

Soon it was time for dinner. Bai Qing'an took a bite of the dinner made by Zhou Fengnian and soon forgot about eating the candy.

I ate half a steamed bun in one go and drank a small bowl of porridge.

For a girl of four or five years old, this was a good appetite; and Zhou Fengnian's family ate fine grains, so there was no need to worry about sore throat.

During the meal, Zhou Yan also talked to Zhou Fengnian about things at the factory and hinted that she might be promoted soon.

Although most of the matters that the Women's Federation has to deal with are family matters, being able to handle them well is a qualification.

Since joining the Women's Federation, Zhou Yan has handled more than 20 matters, big and small, under the care of Sister Zhang. She may even be awarded a model worker by the end of the year.

When the time comes next year, you can upgrade to the next level again.

After dinner, Bai Qing'an took some candy and went to read picture books. Some of the picture books were like comic books, with more pictures and fewer words, which were just right for children and illiterate people.

The little girl Bai Qing'an seemed so engrossed in the fun that she even forgot about eating the candy.

Zhou Chunhua likes to read this. In the past, Zhou Fengnian asked her to read more and study more, so Zhou Chunhua often took a picture book to read.

After coming back today, he ran out again. I guess he went to have something delicious with Song Weinan.

"The third one?"

Zhou Fengnian was lying in a rocking chair in the yard watching his child when he suddenly heard his eldest brother calling him. He stood up and carried the child to the front yard.

"Just come in directly. Why do you always shout at the gate?"

Zhou Fengnian came to the front door and said, after he led the person in, he asked, "What's the matter, brother?"

"Someone has come to me to prepare a feast. This is the first time. But I'm not sure about it, Third Brother. Why don't you come with me to take a look?"

"I'm not going, why are you so nervous? With your current cooking skills, it's not easy to prepare a banquet."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "As long as you don't get so nervous that you mistake salt for sugar, your cooking skills will be fine. How many tables do you want to cook? If it's too many, you can ask my second brother for help."

"Not many, just three tables."

Zhou Weitian said somewhat embarrassedly: "This is not the first time I've been a guest, and I thought you'd be there to back me up."

"It'll be fine if you don't get nervous. It would be too much trouble for me to go. I would just cause trouble for others."

Zhou Fengnian thought for a moment and said that he had to inform the security guard before going out.

He could go to help his elder brother prepare the banquet, but that would cause too much trouble for the security guard, and it would be too embarrassing for him as a deputy factory director if he was recognized.

"As long as you think I'm fine, I'll go with your sister-in-law. Xianzhe, please help me take a look."

"Okay, bring my nephew over tomorrow."

Zhou Fengnian agreed immediately and then talked about other things.

He took out the baby stroller he had just drawn and asked Zhou Weitian to find a carpenter.

After Zhou Weitian took it, he agreed immediately and said that he would go to the neighborhood committee to ask later.

The furniture factory seemed to be in Xicheng District, which was quite far from where they were. They had to ride a bicycle for some distance. Zhou Fengnian quickly persuaded Zhou Weitian to wait until he came back from making the banquet tomorrow to ask, and there was no need to rush.

Around seven or eight o'clock, Zhou Chunhua had been out for a while after dinner before Bai Yujie came to pick up the child.

Zhou Yan asked in surprise: "Sister Yujie, is the factory busy so late today?"

"It's not just about the factory. I finished more than an hour ago, but was called back home. Zhou Yan, thank you for helping me look after the kids."

Bai Yujie sighed. Today she was called back by her cousin and she wanted to relieve the tension.

But the father and daughter were like enemies. They started arguing after just a few words when they met. Especially when Bai Yujie saw her father, she directly called her blind date to her home.

He calls it building relationships, but how could she not know what he is thinking?

So the father and daughter, who were disgusted with each other, started quarreling after just a few minutes of harmony, and neither Bai Kang nor his aunt could persuade them to stop.

"These are all the troubles at home. I won't say more. Thank you for today, Zhou Yan." After Bai Yujie called her daughter over, she saw that she looked drowsy and knew that she wanted to sleep because she was full.

So he didn't bother me any more and said, "I won't bother you today. I'll thank you another day."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Sister Yujie, it's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

After a few more polite words, Bai Yujie took her daughter home; the distance was not far, just a few hundred meters away, and the security in the area was good, so there was no need to worry.

At night, after putting his son down in the crib, Zhou Fengnian returned to the bed on the other side to rest.

However, Zhou Yan was still chewing her fingers, frowning with a look of deep thought and confusion.

Zhou Fengnian laid down on the bed and glanced at him again, asking, "What are you thinking about? Aren't you just making yourself suffer in the middle of the night?"

Zhou Yan asked puzzledly: "Why do you think Sister Yujie is so resistant to blind dates?"

"You don't want to get married, there must be a reason. It's useless to think about it. This is someone else's family affair."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, seeing that Zhou Yan still had the same expression, he continued, "Yanyan, you are not trying to use Bai Yujie as an example to persuade her to get married, right?"

"What are you talking about? How could I do such a thing?!"

Zhou Yan said unhappily: "Who in the entire Women's Federation would think this way? Not even the director would dare to do so."

Bai Yujie was the deputy factory director in charge of the Women's Federation. She was trying to persuade her boss to remarry? Even if the policy allowed it, their director wouldn't allow it.

"Then why are you so worried? Have you been in the Women's Federation for too long and you saw some gossip and want to know more about it?"

"You're talking nonsense, I'm just concerned about my friends!"

As if her heart was stabbed, Zhou Yan reached out and pinched Zhou Fengnian a few times in embarrassment.

However, he had thick skin and was not afraid of pain, so he let Zhou Yan pinch him.

"Go to bed early. This matter has nothing to do with us."

"Hmph, go to sleep first, I'll think about it later."

Although she asked Zhou Fengnian to go to sleep first, Zhou Yan was still not obedient and kept pinching Zhou Fengnian, making him unable to fall asleep.

Although he was not sleepy, Zhou Yan's action made Zhou Fengnian feel uncomfortable. After being pinched by her for a few times, Zhou Fengnian turned over and pressed Zhou Yan under him.

"Yan Yan, since you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. You'll have a rest tomorrow anyway."

"No, Fengnian, just take a rest. I won't do it anymore."

"No, once you get angry, you have to put it out. It's too late to rest now."

"Then, then turn off the light."

“I like bright ones!”

Under the light, two figures on the wall quickly pressed together, then separated and overlapped, and the bed board was also pressed by the two figures, making creaking noises.
The art of bedroom, start!

-------

The next morning, Zhou Chunhua came to the backyard and saw her third brother busying around, so she asked her third sister-in-law what was wrong.

Zhou Fengnian just said that your sister-in-law didn’t get enough rest last night and is still sleeping now.

After hearing this, Zhou Chunhua immediately looked at Zhou Xianyang. She thought it was this little guy who was behind this.

She had taken care of this nephew before, and that night he made so much noise that she couldn't sleep well.

After Zhou Fengnian fed his son, he coaxed him to sleep, and nothing happened after that.

They have more free time on weekends, and after Zhou Yan gets up, they can take the children to Beihai Park, which is just a few steps away.

Last night Zhou Fengnian finally upgraded his sex skills, but it’s a pity that it’s only at level three now.

This is the ability that Zhou Fengnian upgrades the slowest. It has only upgraded two levels in almost two years of marriage.

However, after his sexual arts skills were upgraded to the third level, Zhou Fengnian felt that his physical strength and energy recovered a little faster.

Last night was so intense, he should be very tired, but the upgrade of the sex technique seemed to have restored some of his energy.

Zhou Fengnian slept for less than a few hours, and got up early the next morning full of energy to pack up.

Zhou Yan is not so lucky. The couple now have an ox that is too tired to death and a field that is about to be plowed to pieces.

It was almost noon when Zhou Yan woke up and got out of bed.

After taking a look at her son who had just fallen asleep, she decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

But the breakfast had already gone cold by then, so Zhou Fengnian stopped Zhou Yan and said, "Don't eat breakfast, let's go out for lunch, and then go to Beihai Park. We haven't been to Beihai Park for a long time."

Zhou Yan was somewhat tempted, but still shook her head and said, "Outside? Forget it, Xianyang won't be able to rest well outside."

"Let Chunhua help look after the child. I'll go talk to her."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he went to find his fourth sister Zhou Chunhua without waiting for Zhou Yan's consent.

After telling her about helping to look after the children, Zhou Chunhua was a little unhappy. She had agreed to go out for a walk with Song Weinan today.
However, Zhou Fengnian immediately took out a few dollars and food coupons and asked Zhou Yan and Song Weinan to buy food and take them home. Looking after the children could also gain experience, as they would always have to look after children in the future.

This reason was enough for Zhou Chunhua to agree to. After that, after Zhou Fengnian sent Zhou Xianyang over, he took Zhou Yan out.

Naturally, he told the security guard before going out. Zhou Fengnian has become a homebody now. Excluding the time he goes to and from get off work, he only goes out three times in two months.

They are all for buying daily necessities.

Zhou Fengnian doesn’t know what to do with the security guards during the Chinese New Year, but he will go back for the New Year this year.

Last time, because the houses in the village were too small to accommodate everyone, Zhou Fugui spent the New Year in the city and then went home to build another house in Hongjia Village.

And there is a brick bed, so it will definitely be warm this time. The last time Zhou's father came to the city, he specifically talked to him about this.

I was just afraid that Zhou Fengnian would bring up the idea of ​​spending the New Year in the city again.

During the Chinese New Year, people always go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. Although the Zhou family’s ancestors are not in Hongjia Village, Zhou’s father always feels that their home in the countryside is their root.

Zhou Fengnian agreed immediately, thinking that he would ask the security guard later; there were militias in the countryside, so safety was guaranteed, and he thought the security guard would just send him home and then go back.

At noon, Zhou Fengnian and his wife had roast duck. They ordered one and finished it immediately. Zhou Yan ate a lot, which might be due to the excessive physical exertion last night.

After eating the roast duck, Zhou Yan regained some energy and walked towards Beihai Park with Zhou Fengnian.

Unfortunately, this was not the place for their first date. When they first met, they went to the movies first and then went to the park.

After walking and stopping in Beihai Park, it was soon afternoon. Zhou Yan was almost tired, so she suggested going home to rest.

However, when the two of them returned to the doorstep of their home in Nanluoguxiang, they happened to see Bai Yujie walking out with her daughter.

When the two groups met, Bai Yujie's eyes lit up with joy, and then she walked forward and said, "Zhou Yan, Fengnian, can I go to your house and rest for a while now?"
