Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 2 I am Zhou Fengnian, not a son-in-law
"I'll say it again and it's the same answer. I can't accept your conditions just now. We can't form a revolutionary comradeship, Comrade Xue Peihua."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he recalled it carefully, and then felt secretly glad that his original self had only watched a movie with Xue Peihua and gave her a few gifts.

Apart from that, there was no other contact, and even watching the movie was kept secret. Xue Peihua did not tell anyone and did not allow Zhou Fengnian to tell anyone.

Why would he, a level 14 technician with decades of experience in mechanical maintenance and manufacturing, want to become the son-in-law of the Xue family?

Moreover, other people would only accept the position of a son-in-law because of the many benefits. But if he went to the Xue family, there would be no benefits at all, only disadvantages.

Xue Peihua stood up in anger, pointed at Zhou Fengnian and said, "You... Zhou Fengnian, it was you who was looking for me during this period of time!"

"But I can't possibly not have any contact with my family, Comrade Xue Peihua. This doesn't make sense, and I can't possibly marry into their family!"

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said that he was still very polite so far, because Xue Peihua's parents were indeed very close.

My father was the deputy district chief, my mother was the deputy director of the First Hospital, and my father's comrade-in-arms was the deputy director of their Second Machinery Factory. Although workers had the highest class status in that era, they would not be provoked if possible.

What's more, the original person didn't take any advantage. On the contrary, he gave a gift worth more than 20 yuan, so Xue Peihua didn't suffer any loss at all.

"Comrade Xue Peihua, you will definitely find a revolutionary comrade who satisfies you."

"Okay, Zhou Fengnian, don't regret it!"

After hearing what Zhou Fengnian said, Xue Peihua arrogantly stopped pestering him, stood up and turned to walk outside, but before leaving, she left a sentence: "You will regret this, Zhou Fengnian!"

She is so wealthy and has a very proud personality. Now that she has been rejected by Zhou Fengnian, she naturally won't stick to him.

But she must find a better partner and make Zhou Fengnian regret it to death!
"Humph!"

"Finally got rid of him, but the original body seems to have brought other things with it?"

When Zhou Fengnian was reading the original body's memory just now, he seemed to see the original body having such an adventure, so he called out in his heart; the next second a virtual transparent panel appeared in front of him.

[Proficiency Simulation]

[Host: Zhou Fengnian]

[Skills: Mechanical Maintenance (Level 0: 6000/0), Mechanical Manufacturing (Level 4000: /), Soviet Language (Level )]

[Number of simulations: 1]

"There really is a system!? And it looks pretty good. Let's study how to use it."

Zhou Fengnian closed the door, and then began to study the [Proficiency Simulation] system. However, this system had very few functions, and Zhou Fengnian quickly studied it thoroughly.

There are quite a few skills above, many of which are known by the original body and himself, and then digitized on the panel according to the degree of their proficiency.

It’s a bit like digitizing real-life games. As long as you continue to become proficient, you can improve your proficiency and then upgrade your skills.

The maximum level is ten, and the highest level should be to completely master a certain technology, such as Soviet language. No matter how professional the words are, Zhou Fengnian can handle them.

As for the sixth level of mechanical maintenance, that is based on the level of machinery in the next few decades. It is impossible for the original body to be proficient in all the machinery in the future, so it is only at the sixth level.

But for a boy in his 60s, the level 6 mechanical maintenance skill is enough for him to repair all mechanical machine tools. After all, he has decades more knowledge and experience.

As for the number of simulations, Zhou Fengnian also figured out how to use it.

It allows him to go to a virtual space where any material can be simulated out of thin air.

Then Zhou Fengnian can improve his skill proficiency and even try to simulate the manufacture of new products, which can be regarded as an alternative learning space.

"It's a powerful system, but the number of simulations should be kept for now. It only cools down once a month. The opportunity is too precious. I'll think carefully about how to use it." After understanding the [Proficiency Simulation] system, Zhou Fengnian sat on the edge of the bed and pondered. Not long after, he started rummaging around in the house again.

This room is a single room in the factory staff dormitory. It is not big, only 25 square meters, and is almost full with a bed, a wardrobe, two tables and a few stools.

Zhou Fengnian took out another biscuit box from the hidden box on top of the closet, opened it and counted the money and bills inside again.

"The total is 1332 yuan, just as I remembered. The savings of the original body are really great."

After graduating from secondary technical school, I worked in the Second Machinery Factory for four years. In the first two years, I received a level 16 intern salary. In the third year, I became a regular employee and received a level 15 salary. In the fourth year, I was promoted to a level 14 technician as a reward for meritorious service.

However, the monthly expenses are around twelve yuan, and there are some other expenses.

Otherwise, I could save more money; the original person was quite frugal with himself and spent the extra money on personal gain.

As for tickets, there were only a box of snack tickets and two taels of meat tickets, as well as a few industrial coupons and cloth tickets.

Supplies are scarce now, and the snack tickets were allocated by the original owner, who was going to buy them to please Xue Peihua.

It's just that he hasn't had time to give them out yet; the meat coupons were his monthly ration, and he hasn't used them up this month.

"He is really smart, but he is also a beast. The Zhou family saved money to support a technical secondary school student, but in the end he ended up in poverty. What a good thing."

Zhou Fengnian smacked his lips and thought, however, after his original body was reborn, he was always thinking about compensating his family, so he was not a beast at all.

But now he needs a ticket to buy anything, if he wants to take something home.

A box of snacks and two taels of meat are not enough, and there are not many cloth coupons, just enough to make one piece of clothing at most.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Fengnian took out two hundred yuan from the biscuit box, hid the box and went out.

He had been away from home for several years and had never returned home. Whenever his family came to him for help, he would make all kinds of excuses. If he didn't bring some good things back, Zhou Fengnian would feel embarrassed.

"Alas, I have to pay for the sins committed by my original body. There is no other way. Who made me inherit his estate?"

Zhou Fengnian planned to adjust the votes first. If the amount he adjusted was not enough, he would go to the Pigeon Market for a walk.

In order to send gifts to Xue Peihua, the original body had been to Pigeon City several times before, so Zhou Fengnian knew how to get there.

Fortunately, the original body had maintained good interpersonal relationships before, and now that he is in trouble, there are people willing to help him.

But it was really hard to adjust the meat coupons. After asking more than a dozen colleagues, I only got one or two meat coupons.

He couldn't even exchange for food coupons, and even the meat coupons had to be exchanged with his own food coupons.

I did exchange one pound of candy tickets, one pound of snack tickets, five feet of cloth tickets, and other tickets for tobacco and alcohol.

Zhou Fengnian felt that this little bit of stuff was not enough, so he decided to go to the Pigeon Market in the evening.

Fortunately, I had informed my colleague in advance, and if I came back late, I would stay at his house for one night, so as to avoid being caught by the security department when I returned to the factory staff dormitory.

Zhou Fengnian walked around the Pigeon Market for a long time in the evening before he could barely collect enough money to buy the tickets he wanted.

Five taels of meat coupons, one jin of snack coupons, thirty jins of grain coupons, five feet of cloth coupons and ten industrial coupons.

Adding the money he got transferred before, it would be enough for him to share all the things he bought.

But the expenses were really high. The ticket counting and the money transferred from colleagues cost him sixty yuan.

This is just the money for the ticket. I will have to spend more money to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow.
