Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 201 The eldest brother was taken away (Subscription required)

"Team Leader Zhou, thank you for what you did just now."

After coming out of the house, Deputy Director Zhong bent over and walked in a low voice, with fear on his face.

"Why thank you? It's just a few words. I can't help much. Be lazy if you can during the day. Let others do the work for you."

Zhou Fengnian sighed and said, "We still have to work at night, so we should save some energy if we can, and prepare some dry food in our pockets."

With all his persuasion and the honor of being the world's first photolithography technology, Zhong Xingling was exempted from most of the work. However, after finishing the project team's work during the day, he still couldn't escape working at night.

All in all, I work fifteen hours a day, which is still easy, and I also have to study every week.

"After the new generation of lithography machines are made, we will manufacture the fourth generation of computers, and then things will be better."

No matter what, the contribution of bringing glory to the country cannot be erased. Even if Zhong Xingling cannot be restored to his previous treatment for various reasons, he can at least be exempted from labor.

He will still be criticized in name, but in private he will definitely feel a lot more relaxed because he can make contributions and contribute to strengthening the country's strength.

After bringing the people back, Zhou Fengnian comforted the others and then began to talk about the new photolithography technology to one group of people.

This is the most advanced photolithography technology in the world, far surpassing that of Western foreigners. Once it is manufactured, it can surpass them in many fields.

Integrated circuit chips can do so many things, and the computers made from them alone can help all walks of life.

Zhou Fengnian can only use the excuse of becoming the "world's first" to delay it now. After all, this is a huge honor and few people can refuse it.

What's more, his request was not excessive. If they gave their research team human resources support, they would be able to produce the world's best lithography machine in one or two years.

Director Yan himself doesn't have much to do, but he is also busy.

Zhou Fengnian also wrote a report on the impact of integrated circuit chips on the development of domestic industry and the electronics industry, and submitted it after slightly shaping its importance.

After the leaders above saw Zhou Fengnian's report, they took it a little seriously, gave an instruction and nothing else happened.

However, this instruction is already very useful. At least it allows most people to conduct research with peace of mind.

After a busy day, Zhou Fengnian returned home and saw his elder and second brothers were there.

"Why did you guys come together today? And you brought so many braised dishes with you?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Fengnian saw the thing on his fifth sister Zhou Xiaomei's arm, which immediately made him frown and ask, "Little sister, where did this thing come from?"

“It was sent by a classmate at school.”

Zhou Fengnian immediately said, "Take it off! You guys aren't going to class anymore?"

"Oh, there have been no classes since the day before yesterday. What's wrong, Third Brother?"

Zhou Xiaomei quickly took off what she was wearing on her arm, and then asked carefully.

Zhou Fengnian said, "What can you do if you don't have classes? Go out on the street with your classmates all day? Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to go out. Either study at home or go back to Hongjia Village to study."

"But, Third Brother"

"No buts."

Zhou Fengnian said sternly, but when he saw Zhou Xiaomei looked frightened, he calmed down and asked, "Little sister, will I hurt you?"

"Of course Third Brother won't harm me."

Zhou Xiaomei shook her head. Who provided her with food, clothing, housing and transportation? She often ate good meals and was treated better by the other person than by her parents.

"Then just listen to me. I don't care about other things, but you have to listen to me on this matter."

Zhou Fengnian said this with great certainty. Zhou Weitian and Zhou Jiaan also spoke up one after another: "Little sister, listen to the third brother. He is the one who makes the decisions in our family."

"Yes, little sister, otherwise Dad can't protect you."

Zhou Fengnian glanced at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, don't make things worse. Why did you think of coming here for dinner today?"

"My sister-in-law said you've been upset lately, so she asked us to have a drink with you. But my fourth sister said you don't drink, so she and Weinan went to buy you a soda."

Zhou Weitian said with a laugh: "Third brother, you like drinking sweet water like a child now."

"People who use their brains have to eat sweet things. That's called replenishing sugar."

Zhou Fengnian said casually, then picked up his chopsticks to eat the braised food on the table.

Now that summer is slowly approaching, several people are eating at the stone table in the yard, while Zhou Yan and others are busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

"Third brother, recently many workers in our factory have been making trouble and refusing to work."

Zhou Jiaan said while eating peanuts: "It made the factory director and secretary very upset. They had to appease and win over a group of people every day before they were allowed to return to the workshop."

"Your factory also has export orders, right? If you fail to complete them this year, not only will you be embarrassed, but you will also have to pay compensation. Director Bai must be in a lot of trouble."

Zhou Fengnian said casually: "Don't worry about them, second brother, just give birth as usual. Let whoever wants to do whatever they want to do, as long as it's not murder, rape, arson, beating, etc., just pretend you didn't see anything."

"We are a poor peasant family with a clean background. Nothing will happen to us."

Zhou Fengnian's grandfather's generation didn't even have any land, so they should have been considered hired farmers. But Zhou's father worked hard and followed Grandpa Zhou to settle in Hongjia Village. After working for a few years, he saved up two acres of land, and then he was classified as a poor peasant.

The poor peasants are also clean and have good family backgrounds.

Zhou Weitian grinned and said, "The machine tool factory is the safest place. I have nothing to do in the kitchen. Every day I cook and I am rarely asked to prepare meals."

He now feels that being a cook is great. He can earn ten yuan by cooking two banquets every month. Adding the original 37.5 yuan, Zhou Weitian can earn 47.5 yuan a month.
Now Zhou Weitian has paid back the money he used to buy the job, but even if he has paid it back, they are very grateful to Zhou Fengnian. The job was bought too cheaply, and now it has doubled, but he still can't buy it.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future, and you'll be so busy that you won't even have time to sit down."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, we are back."

While they were chatting, Song Weinan came back with a few bottles of soda and a roast duck.

Zhou Fengnian took a look and said with concern: "Wei Nan, did you not get enough rest? You must sleep well when driving a truck. Sleep more every day in the future. You have such heavy dark circles under your eyes.

If something happens to you because you didn't get enough rest, you will be so wronged!"

"I understand, Third Brother. I haven't been on any missions recently. I will definitely take a good rest when there are missions."

Song Weinan said a little embarrassedly. Zhou Chunhua, who was standing beside him, lowered her head and went to look for her sisters-in-law. However, she had only taken two steps when she was stopped by Zhou Fengnian.

"Chunhua, wait a minute, come over here and lend your hand."

Zhou Chunhua was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Third Brother?"

"Stretch out your wrist so I can feel your pulse."

Zhou Fengnian has been reading medical books whenever he has free time during this period. He has already upgraded his medical skill to level five, and has made some achievements in the three methods of diagnosis: observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation.

Seeing Song Weinan's expression, he knew what was going on, so he called Zhou Chunhua to check him.

After checking the pulse for a while, Zhou Fengnian suddenly felt something was wrong. He checked it carefully again and said uncertainly, "Why don't you go to the hospital?"

Song Weinan asked worriedly, "Third brother, what happened to Chunhua?"

"It could be pregnancy, I'm not sure, so you should go get it checked out."

Zhou Fengnian originally just wanted to use his medical skills, but he didn't expect that when he was taking Zhou Chunhua's pulse, he also diagnosed something unexpected.

"Pregnant?"

After hearing this, Song Weinan immediately stood up and said, "I'll take Chunhua to the hospital now. Big brother, second brother, third brother, you guys eat first."

After saying that, Song Weinan excitedly took Zhou Chunhua away.

After the two men left, Zhou Weitian asked with a look of doubt: "Third brother, do you really know medical skills?"

"Brother, don't underestimate the brains of scholars. I learn everything very quickly. There is nothing I can't learn, only things I don't want to learn."

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment, guessing what Zhou Weitian was going to say next, and said, "There's nothing wrong with you. Just eat less oily food. Your face has become fatter."

“Being able to eat is a blessing.”

"You're a greedy person!"

Then the three brothers started chatting. Instead of talking about the chaos outside, they talked about other things.

It took them a long time to eat and chat. Song Weinan and Zhou Chunhua came back only after they had almost finished eating.

Both of them smiled, and then said to Zhou Fengnian: "Third brother, your diagnosis is really correct, Chunhua is already pregnant."

"Okay, that's a good thing. If you don't understand anything, ask your sister-in-law. If you need help, go too."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile that the Zhou family's population has grown.

------

The research and development work has not stopped, but several people from the project team have been taken away.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the project team was Zhou Fengnian, who was a poor peasant and graduated from a technical secondary school. After graduation, he entered the machinery factory and made many contributions.

When they looked at the file, they were so clean that it was as if they were seeing red. Not only had he made a series of contributions, but he also had no problems with his interpersonal relationships.

The person with the closest relationship is Luo Cheng, an eighth-level engineer from the former machinery factory, who has now gone to the northwest to participate in a confidential project. As for Luo Cheng's family, they are even more like one of their own.

Moreover, Zhou Fengnian wanted to create two world firsts. The leaders above did not want to stop at such a great honor, so they retreated a lot.

Many academician members could not protect themselves, and Zhou Fengnian was able to negotiate conditions again and again because he was strong enough, both red and professional, and could create many honors and development results.

I come at eight in the morning and leave at around eight in the evening. Excluding meal time, I'm busy for twelve hours a day.

The effort and reward are directly proportional. The research and development progress is very smooth, and there may be results by the end of the year.

The previously estimated two years now has to be accelerated; the sooner the results are produced, the better. Zhou Fengnian has also used simulation space several times.

One night.

Zhou Fengnian had just returned from get off work when he saw Zhou Yan running to him in a panic and saying, "Fengnian, my eldest brother and his wife have been taken away. Xianzhe and Xianrui are in the house. My second brother has gone to get the news."

Zhou Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then asked angrily, "Who took it away?"

"I don't know. My eldest sister-in-law brought the child here and went back. I couldn't move the child, and my second brother went to get information."

Zhou Yan said with some fear that there were three children and a baby in the room and she couldn't leave.

"You stay at home, I'll go out and ask."

Zhou Fengnian comforted his wife and then walked outside.
