Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 49 Zhou Family Benefits

If the eldest and second brothers go to work in the city, it is best to tell the village head and the village party secretary. Zhou Fengnian also told his father that when the time comes, he should buy some cigarettes and alcohol and go around the village.

Although having the job quota was an asset of their Zhou family, they could not resist the jealousy and gossip of the villagers.

If it were Zhou Fengnian alone, he would definitely not care, but Zhou's father and mother, as well as his second sister-in-law and fifth sister are all in the village, so the relationship must be maintained.

Distribute some cigarettes, alcohol, crispy candies, fruit sweets and the like to shut up every man in every household, so that the group of idle women in the village will talk less.

Even if she couldn't help but talk about the Zhou family, the man would slap her in the face to stop her.

You can't just sit there smoking and drinking while watching your wife talk bad about others. Aren't you an ungrateful person?

Except for the real ungrateful people, everyone else cares about reputation.

Zhou Fengnian urged, "Dad, I will come back again when the time comes. I will bring some things back and distribute some to every household in the village."

"Got it, the end of next month, right? I, your father, still need you to teach me how to do things!"

After listening to this, although Zhou's father felt that Zhou Fengnian was right, he said it with a stern face and showed an expression that he had thought of it a long time ago.

“I have just finished my farm work, so there are fewer opportunities to earn work points. I may only earn work points for half a day.

Your elder and second brothers and I will go into the mountains more often and try to hunt more prey. When the New Year comes, we will have a feast in the village. If anyone talks nonsense about this, I will slap him in the face. "

Zhou Fengnian frowned after hearing this and said, "Then be careful when you go into the mountains, don't get hurt and be unable to go back to the city."

The eldest brother Zhou Weitian said, "We'll just set up a trap. Besides, we have guns. Don't worry, Third Brother."

Not every household in the countryside has a gun, but it is normal for two or three households to have one gun; and every household must send one person to participate in militia training. Both Zhou's father and Zhou Weitian can use guns.

Zhou Fengnian turned his head and said, "Dad, you'd better keep an eye on Big Brother. He is the least reliable."

Father Zhou took a puff of his cigarette and said: "I know, if he dares to run away, I will beat him up!"

"Dad, I'm so honest, why do you always beat me?"

Zhou Weitian said this unconvincedly, but everyone else in the room looked helpless. Except for the younger sister who was still in elementary school and didn't know much, everyone else, including his second sister-in-law Zhang Fangfang, felt that Zhou Weitian deserved to be beaten.

"Alas, in fact, I would rather learn cooking from my third brother than working in the city. Third brother, why don't I stop working and learn cooking from you."

When Qu Ying heard this, he said anxiously: "Zhou Weitian, what are you talking about!"

Zhou Weitian retorted: "I'm not talking nonsense. You've all tasted how delicious Lao San's cooking is. If I had Lao San's cooking skills, wouldn't everyone in the surrounding area invite me?"

"Workers are good, but how can they compare to the cooks who prepare big banquets? A good guy can take away three full lunch boxes after a funeral, but a cook will never go hungry."

These words made Zhou's father, who was about to hit him, stop. For the first time, he felt that what Zhou Weitian said made some sense.

"Boss, you have a point."

"Dad, don't listen to my elder brother's nonsense. I'm a technician. Why do you want to learn cooking from me? My elder brother is just greedy."

Zhou Fengnian said quickly: "First, I'm very busy in the city and have almost no time to teach you cooking; second, supplies are so scarce now, even if I have time to teach you, I have nothing to practice with."

Zhou Chunhua nodded and interrupted, "Third brother went to read after dinner."

Father Zhou no longer hesitated and slapped Zhou Weitian on the head, warning him, "Zhou Weitian, when you enter the city, you must listen to your wife and Fengnian!
If you keep thinking about those nonsense, I will come to the city to deal with you."

As someone who raised five children by himself, it goes without saying that Zhou Fugui was a very intimidating figure at home.

After Zhou Weitian received a slap in the face, he didn't dare to say anything about learning cooking, but he still felt a little unwilling.

After giving some instructions, Zhou Fengnian and his fourth sister Zhou Chunhua had lunch and then hurried back.

It's just one day's rest time, and we have to go back to work tomorrow. The fourth sister Zhou Chunhua is doing really well in the new workshop, working hard and being down-to-earth. Although she is a little slow in learning, she is working hard.

After half a year, she has become a skilled worker. If Zhou Chunhua can further improve her educational level, Zhou Fengnian can guarantee that Zhou Chunhua will be promoted to the second-level worker when she is converted to a regular employee.

If the performance of the Electric Appliance Factory is good, it will not be stingy in promoting the workers' grades.

If those three electrical products were only a flash in the pan, there would be no need to go through the trouble of building a new factory. Apart from anything else, Zhou Fengnian still had confidence in the induction cooker.

There are many countries abroad with developed electricity, and the induction cooker developed by Zhou Fengnian is a qualified product with a nice appearance. It is 80% likely to be popular at the Canton Fair.

------

After Zhou Fengnian and Zhou Chunhua returned to the city, they saw Luo Cheng playing chess with others at the door of their house.

After seeing Zhou Fengnian coming back, Luo Cheng was ready to abandon the chessboard and go find Zhou Fengnian.

But the other person quickly grabbed Luo Cheng and said, "Hey, Lao Luo, we haven't finished playing chess yet, where are you going?"

"I have something to do. I'll come back another day."

After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he took out a dime from his pocket and placed it on the chessboard, then walked towards Zhou Fengnian.

When the other chess player saw the ten cents, he was so happy that he didn't care about the outcome of the game. He just took the money, put away the chess pieces and left.

"Xiao Zhou, you are finally back."

After Luo Cheng came to Zhou Fengnian's side, he quickly said: "Li Qingyuan is looking for you and asked me to take you there. It seems that the performance test has been completed."

"now?"

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian looked at the sky. It was already dark. Even if the institute often worked overtime, it would be around seven or eight o'clock when they got there.

"It's a bit late indeed. Never mind, we can go tomorrow."

Luo Cheng also reacted, sighed and said: "Then let's go tomorrow. I'm a little anxious. The guy who just sent someone to look for me was also very anxious. It sounds very important."

"It seems that the performance of the transistor test that Li took away may be better than I expected. From this point of view, many things can be upgraded."

Zhou Fengnian said thoughtfully

The most important and top priority thing is definitely the huge electronic computer. A lot of research and development cannot be separated from this thing, including the calculation of the two bombs.

The missiles have been developed and both bombs may now be put on research projects.

However, if the computer is upgraded, the research time will be shortened.

There are also satellites in the future that will need computers for calculations. I guess Li Qingyuan called him over because he wanted to say that he wanted to vigorously research the manufacturing of transistors.

"That's bad. Then we're at the back of the line."

Zhou Fengnian suddenly thought that with so many important national projects to be promoted, CNC machine tools would definitely have to wait in line.

He also wanted Li Qingyuan and the people from the university to help him build a control system for the CNC machine tools.

Luo Cheng asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you at the back of the queue?"

Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Luo Gong, maybe we'll know tomorrow, go back first. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. If you don't come back soon, I'll let Aunt Li do it. Please finish what you just said. Don't say it halfway."

Luo Cheng asked anxiously, this kid is so annoying, he is trying to trick an old man like him.
