Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 45 We Are Not Suitable

"Mom, this is my marriage!"

Dong Hongwan said to Wang Fengtian unhappily that she was quite satisfied with Zhou Fengnian, and it was a pleasure to see that face when she returned home.

"Oh my dear girl, although I knew that his family was from the countryside, I didn't know the details. Today, I will find out everything for you."

Wang Fengtian quickly persuaded him, “Although he has a high salary now, his two sisters-in-law are pregnant.

There will be many places to spend money in the future. I give my family 10 yuan every month now, what about in the future?"

"People in the countryside can have many children. If there are many children, wouldn't it cost twenty or thirty bucks a month to pay them? The remaining salary would be less than that of a first-class worker!"

Wang Fengtian learned all this from Luo Cheng and Li Nianhua.

Originally, Luo Cheng said this to tell Wang Fengtian that Zhou Fengnian was a filial and family-oriented child, but he didn't expect Wang Fengtian to think about such a thing.

He also used this reason to persuade Dong Hongwan.

Dong Hongwan said unhappily: "I can refuse him, and I just said that I will be the housekeeper from now on."

Wang Fengtian's face fell as he asked, "What will you do if he insists on sending money home? He is the one who collects the salary, and you can still go to the machinery factory to collect his salary for him.

If you act first and ask for permission later, will you still be able to get the money back? Then you will have to quarrel and fight every day."

Dong Hongwan frowned and said, "Mom, what's the point of saying these things? What's more, what you said may not happen."

Wang Fengtian said, "How can this be uncertain? Mom has seen more people than you do. This time, listen to me and go meet Director Gu's son first, and then you can think carefully about it."

"You've said so much, but you still want me to go on a blind date with the son of your grain store manager. Mom, you're selling your daughter!"

"Oh, my daughter, I just want you to meet me once. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you. Can your father and I force you?"

Wang Fengtian quickly said that she had this idea, but she did not dare to force her daughter too much.

What's more, Director Gu's son is in good condition. Although he is still a temporary worker, he will be able to become a regular employee sooner or later under Director Gu's care.

If her daughter could marry Director Gu's son, her husband would also be promoted to a higher level.

"Just listen to me. Go meet her first. I don't expect you to agree to meet her."

After Wang Fengtian's step-by-step persuasion, Dong Hongwan nodded reluctantly.

But she was still thinking of Zhou Fengnian. If Zhou Fengnian did not have the conditions of a rural family, she would definitely marry Zhou Fengnian without hesitation.

"Xiao Zhou, why are you not from the same path? What did you talk about?"

Li Nianhua asked doubtfully. She saw that Dong Hongwan seemed quite happy, but Zhou Fengnian was not so happy.

"Comrade Dong has a very strong personality. I feel that his personality is similar to that of Comrade Xue Peihua.
Luo Gong knows about it. I told him about Xue Peihua and I. "

Zhou Fengnian then said to Li Nianhua: "Aunt Li, please help me go back. I am not suitable for this girl."

There are so many conditions, and he can hardly meet any of them. It’s better to give up as soon as possible.

"The one at Xue Peihua Radio Station?"

Luo Cheng recalled it and said with a frown, "If that's the case, forget it. You can decide for yourself."

When he mentions Xue Peihua, he will think of Zhang Anhong. Now Luo Cheng dislikes Zhang Anhong no matter how he looks at him.

Zhou Fengnian quickly said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Li, for keeping you busy for so long."

"It's okay. I'm just trying to connect you two. Whether you can get along well or not depends on the two of you." Li Nianhua said considerately. She didn't do much. She just made the connection because she had nothing else to do.

Since Zhou Fengnian is unwilling, let's just drop the matter.

"Xiao Zhou, can I help you find one some other day?"

"Aunt Li, let's talk about it later. I might be very busy recently."

Zhou Fengnian said to Li Nianhua: "We may have to spend more than half a year researching new machine tools, and I guess we will often work overtime."

"New machine tool?"

Luo Cheng was startled when he heard this, and then asked, "What new machine tool? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zhou Fengnian said helplessly: "Mr. Luo, you must have heard of electronic CNC machine tools. I even made the integrated circuit board and sent it for testing."

Luo Cheng slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oh, this, I didn't react for a moment. But have you already started researching it?"

"Yes, I have a specific idea, but the blueprint has not been drawn yet; I plan to readjust the braking system according to the new electronic control system."

Zhou Fengnian then started discussing with Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng was also very knowledgeable about machine tools. If he could help, it would save Zhou Fengnian a lot of time.

This discussion took an entire afternoon.

After listening to Zhou Fengnian's ideas, Luo Cheng was very impressed and said, "How did you learn this? How do you know so much about electronic systems?"

"I know more about mechanical maintenance, Engineer Luo. As long as you study hard, there is nothing you can't learn."

Zhou Fengnian was pretending to be a little bit cool, but he also thought secretly that he might need a wall of books to cover himself up.

The simulation space with the [Proficiency Simulation] system means he doesn't need to worry about knowledge and practical operations, but he always needs an excuse to show it to outsiders.

I'll buy a bookshelf someday and keep buying books to fill it up.

In this way, if Zhou Fengnian encounters this kind of problem again, he can ask the other party if they have ever seen a night at three o'clock in the morning.

While having dinner, Luo Cheng still wanted to discuss machine tools with Zhou Fengnian.

There was quite a conflict as to whether to go to the factory immediately to start drawing and discussing. After Aunt Li knocked on the bowl and chopsticks unhappily, Luo Chengcai came down to eat with peace of mind.

Zhou Fengnian was a little regretful about making this excuse. He could already imagine how busy he would be in the factory in the future.

According to his original idea, he wanted to draw the design drawings of the machine tool within half a year and produce the finished product within a year.

This was already considered fast. The machine tools for the 1980s were produced in 1962, nearly 20 years ahead of schedule.

It doesn't affect his rest.

But now looking at Luo Cheng's attitude, he can't wait to finish drawing the drawings next week and see the finished machine tool next month.

Fortunately, Aunt Li took the initiative to talk about the blind date. She was still a little unwilling, and it was also because she had nothing to do in her daily life, so she was a bit like a matchmaker.

Zhou Fengnian did not hide it after hearing this. He liked beautiful and gentle women, and he didn't care whether they could make money or not.

Anyway, I will take the engineering exam in two years, and the minimum level is nine, eight is safe, and I can aim for seven.

By then, with a monthly salary of more than 130 yuan, it would be easy to support a whole family.

Moreover, engineers also receive various hidden subsidies. Just look at Luo Cheng to know that the salary of a level nine engineer plus the subsidies is almost equivalent to that of two level six workers.

As for cities and rural areas, Zhou Fengnian never mentioned it, because Aunt Li had never been to the countryside and it was impossible for her to introduce a rural girl to him.
