Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 2 Love from the whole family
Although I left,
But Chen Luyang still rode around Xuezi Road again, turned back to the Machinery Factory High School, and confirmed again that his name was not on the red paper before riding home in frustration.

It's time to get off work.
The rolling stream of bicycles shuttled through the ancient and profound city streets, and the light of the setting sun was like a flame that forged steel, spreading all the way above the machinery factory’s residential area.

Chen Luyang pushed the bicycle to the gate of his yard.

The yard was in chaos with cursing and noise.

"I'm going to beat this little bastard to death when he comes back!"

Father Chen was so angry that he picked up the enamel pot in his hand and was about to smash it to the ground.

Chen's mother squatted on the ground picking leeks without even raising her eyelids.

"Smash it! The porcelain of this jar broke a few days ago. If you break it, the family can just buy a new one."

Father Chen paused, looked at the broken piece of porcelain under the jar with eyes full of heartache, and gently put it back on the stone table.

Then he glared, picked up the palm-leaf fan on the table, and fanned himself while cursing:
"Tell me, don't you know your son's level? He wants to go to the provincial university...why doesn't he go to heaven?"

Chen's mother was unhappy.

He threw the leeks into the basin and said, "What do you mean by my son? It has nothing to do with you."

"It does matter, it does matter."

When Chen's father saw his daughter-in-law glaring at him, his arrogance immediately subsided. He ran to Chen's mother with a smirk, squatted down and fanned her.

But before he could slap her twice, Chen's mother rolled her eyes and scolded him in disgust:

"You can't manage your own son, but you don't know how to blame yourself. You keep blaming this and that... Get out of here and stop interrupting my work!"

"There are only a few leaves left on this broken fan, yet you treat it like a treasure and can't bear to throw it away. The wind blown by Junjun is even stronger than it."

When the little brat in the yard heard this, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the small bench, ran over with his homework book in his hand, and said obediently while fanning himself:

"Grandma, is it cool?!"

Mother Chen smiled happily: "Cool! My eldest grandson is the best. Grandma will make you scrambled eggs with chives in a while."

Just as he finished speaking, a tender female voice came out from the room:

"Mom! Can you please stop cooking leeks? We've been eating leeks for several days straight, and my burps smell like leeks."

Mother Chen said angrily, "Your brother-in-law brought back three big bundles of leeks. What are you going to do if you don't eat them? The leeks are good and they're going to rot if you don't eat them."

The female voice said unhappily, "Give it to my second brother and let him clean up."

After hearing this, Chen Luyang, who had been standing outside the yard, could no longer bear it.

"Chen Lingling, why don't you eat leeks?"

The Chen family is a big family with three generations and seven people living under the same roof.

Chen's father was a senior worker in a machinery factory with superb skills. In his early years, he was invited by a military factory to help solve technical problems. The small family compound he was allocated was larger than that of other workers.

Chen's mother works in the canteen of a machinery factory and cooks delicious meals.

Chen Luyang is the second child in the family, with an older sister and a younger sister.

My eldest sister Chen Lihong is a teacher in the factory kindergarten, and my brother-in-law works in the factory security department.

My younger sister Chen Lingling is in high school, and my nephew Junjun is in the third grade at the Machinery Factory Primary School.

"How dare you come back!"

Seeing Chen Luyang entering the yard, Chen's father threw the palm-leaf fan at him, picked up the broom next to him, and swung it at Chen Luyang.

"You little bastard, who told you to change your major?"

"We've already agreed with my family that you should apply to a technical school and work in a factory directly after graduation."

"Such a big thing, and you decided it on your own without even saying a word?"

"I think you've climbed up the roof beam and wanted to go to heaven. Heaven isn't enough for you, but you want to become an immortal. I'm going to beat you to death, you little bastard."

Chen Luyang's figure flashed, and he quickly hid behind Chen's mother, while hiding and saying stubbornly:
"Dad, what you said is not right. How can a bastard become an immortal?"

"Besides, what's wrong with me changing my major?"

"I applied to the provincial university because I have lofty revolutionary aspirations!"

Mother Chen, who had been so calm and relaxed just now, couldn't help herself after hearing this. She was so angry that she picked up a handful of leeks and hit him:

"If you're aiming high, why don't you apply to Peking University?" Chen Luyang was caught off guard by Chen's mother's attack. Not only did he receive a solid mouthful of leeks, but she also bit off several leaves.
"Mom, I want to apply to Peking University. Maybe I'll get in."

It would have been better if Chen Luyang didn't say anything. The more he talked, the angrier Chen's parents became. In the end, one of them was sweeping leeks with a broom, and the other was shaking leeks, and they chased him around the garden to beat him.

Chen Lingling heard the noise and walked out of the house to watch the fun with Junjun.

"Aunt, my uncle is really tough. If it were me, I would have been beaten to tears a long time ago."

Junjun looked at Chen Luyang with admiration, and did not forget to fan himself and Chen Lingling with the small exercise books in his hands.

Chen Lingling held a handful of melon seeds in her hand, squatted on a small stool and fed Junjun one, saying without hesitation:
"That's just the beginning. Your grandpa and grandma are old and can't fight anymore."

"When I was little, they fought much harder than this. No one could stop them except your mother."

"That's a beautiful sight!"

"..."

As they were talking, a couple walked into the yard, talking and laughing, carrying vegetables and fruits.

Seeing the person coming,

Chen Luyang immediately seemed to see a savior: "Sister, brother-in-law, save me!"

Seeing her brother being beaten, Chen Lihong quickly blocked Chen Luyang behind her.
"What is this for?"

Father Chen panted, "Lihong, get up! This kid changed his major from technical school to provincial university. He didn't get into either! I'm going to beat him to death today!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lihong's eyes suddenly became stern.

"Is what our father said true?"

Chen Luyang felt his scalp tingle when he was stared at by Chen Lihong. Just as he nodded, a big slap hit his face.

At the dinner table,

Chen Luyang had a big slap mark on his face. He held the bowl in his hand and ate the rice carefully.

Although Chen's father and mother also beat him one by one, the slap from the eldest sister was a real one!

He slapped Chen Luyang in the face and made him stunned.

Thanks to his brother-in-law Sun Zhigang's rescue, he was freed from torture.

"Come, Luyang, eat some eggs. You can't eat without eating."

Seeing that the dinner table was dead silent, brother-in-law Sun Zhigang picked up an egg with chopsticks and put it into Chen Luyang's bowl.

But before he could pick up his chopsticks, Chen Lihong glanced over at him, and scared Chen Luyang so much that he quickly put the egg in Junjun's bowl.

It really is like seeing a ghost.

Every time he saw his elder sister, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and was instinctively afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Junjun is young, and it is the time for him to eat whatever he sees.
As soon as the egg entered his bowl, he swallowed it with rice in one gulp.

Seeing Junjun eating so sweetly, Chen Luyang enviously picked up a piece of rice and a scallion.

But before the green onion touched the soybean paste bowl,

Mother Chen picked up the bowl of soybean paste and placed it next to Father Chen.

Chen Luyang couldn't help but said: "What are you doing! You don't even give people the dipping sauce when eating green onions."

Chen's mother said with a frown, "It's good enough to have a scallion from you, and you want to dip it in soybean paste... I think you look like soybean paste!"

Chen Luyang: “…”

Seeing Chen Luyang's aggrieved face, Chen Lingling couldn't stand it anymore:

"My brother was wrong, but no matter what, you can't let people eat green onions without dipping them in soybean paste!"

Saying,

Chen Lingling picked up a scallion, squeezed out a large piece of sauce, and handed it to Chen Luyang with a sense of loyalty.

"Brother! Eat mine!"

Chen Luyang took it with emotion: "Brother's love for you is not in vain!"
