Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 522 Because the enemy is too powerful!

After finishing his meal, Chen Luyang once again transformed into a model worker, rolling up his sleeves and heading into the kitchen.

Not only did they wash all the pots and pans, but they also mopped the entire floor.

Chen's mother tried her best to stop him from doing it, but she couldn't stop him at all!

As time went on, even Chen Tuo began to take notice.

I've never seen anyone work so hard in my life.

Thankfully, this is an apartment building.

If it were a single-story house, Chen Luyang would definitely carve out a cellar out of it!
Mrs. Chen said with heartache, "Oh dear, my child, how can I let you do these things! You're here as a guest, not to be a janitor."

Chen Luyang patted his chest and said, "Auntie, you're being too polite. I'm just doing chores for my own family. What's the big deal about it being a delay?"

"I wish I could be here every day, washing dishes and mopping the floor!"

finished,

Chen Luyang wrung out the small rag and hung it up to dry.

Turning around, I saw that Chen Jinyue had already prepared a handkerchief.

"Wipe your hands, the water is all running down your sleeves."

"Okay, thanks sis~"

Chen Luyang wiped her hands.
Now that the work is done, the meal is finished, and it's almost time to go.

The last bus was about to depart.

Chen Luyang didn't linger. She put on her coat and said in a serious and polite manner:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle and Aunt. It's too late today, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Chen's mother quickly slapped her thigh, ran out of the house, and stuffed a small bag into his hand.

“Perfect timing, Xiao Chen. Take this to your mom. Last time we went to the Workers’ Cultural Palace, your mom said she liked this pastry, so I prepared a portion for her.”

Ok?
Chen Luyang looked down and saw another colorful paper box in the small cloth bag, with large peony flowers printed on it.

“Okay, I’ll take it back to my mom. Thank you, Auntie,” Chen Luyang said happily.

Chen's mother called out to Chen Jinyue, "Yueyue, see Xiao Chen off."

"Uh-huh."

Just as Chen Jinyue was about to put on her clothes, Chen Luyang grabbed her and stopped her.

"It's freezing outside, don't bother seeing me off. It's also dark at the stairwell, I don't feel comfortable letting you go upstairs alone."

"What are you saying...!"

Chen Jinyue blushed with embarrassment and glanced shyly at her parents.

However, Chen Luyang remained adamant and refused to let Chen Jinyue deliver it.

What should I give as a gift...?
That gate was so dark it was practically black. Even a grown man like him would be scared to walk through it alone. How could he let Chen Jinyue see him off?
That being said, even if Chen Jinyue gave it to him,
In the end, he had to take the person home, and I ended up taking myself home myself.

It's freezing cold, and you're letting your partner freeze too.

"It's the weekend, I'll talk to you on the weekend," Chen Luyang coaxed softly.

If you say that the two of them were dating secretly, behind their parents' backs, and doing things clandestinely, that's one thing.

Now the lids have been officially lifted.

There's no point in doing all this in the dark.

It's always more comfortable to be open and aboveboard.

Although he really wanted a kiss too~
But kissing at night is never as enjoyable as kissing during the day!
"See you this weekend." Chen Jinyue smiled at him.

Although she longed to whisper something to Chen Luyang and hold his hand,
But since Chen Luyang cares about me and doesn't want me to go out and cause trouble...

She accepted this small act of kindness.

I'll dress up nicely this weekend and then go out with Chen Luyang!
at night,

As Chen Luyang hummed a song and happily pushed open the door to the Chen family's courtyard, she found the atmosphere inside to be strange.

Feng Jiuxiang, holding a hot water bottle in her arms, leaned against the dresser, looking utterly drained of energy.

Chen Dazhi sat side by side with Feng Jiuxiang, his eyes vacant.

"What happened? Why are our parents so weak after I went out for a while?"

Chen Luyang rubbed his hands in confusion, sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), and pulled a small pillow over his shoulder.

"Mom, did you and Dad have a fight?"

Chen Luyang asked Feng Jiuxiang in a low voice.

Chen Dazhi shot him a sharp glare instantly.

Feng Jiuxiang sighed softly, "It would be better if you argued with your dad... that's when Fatty left."

Chen Luyang asked in surprise, "How could Fatty have done this to you two?"

The chubby boy from Factory Director Wang's family is about the same age as Junjun.

Even if they were naughty, they shouldn't have tormented Chen Dazhi and Feng Jiuxiang like this!

"Nothing much, just that the factory manager's grandson brought two robots tonight and came to fight Junjun to the death. The battlefield is our parents' room."

Chen Xiaoling cracked sunflower seeds, while brushing the shells off her clothes.

Chen Luyang asked doubtfully, "He's using two robots to fight one of our soldiers? Do you think he can win?"

"No! One of the robots is for me."

Junjun proudly held up the robot in his hand and shook it.

Chen Luyang chuckled: "So who won in the end?"

Junjun said with immense pride, "Of course, it was the two of us who won."

"My grandpa and grandma can't beat us at all!"

Chen Luyang: ...Holy crap.

"Shouldn't this be a fight to the death between the two of you??? Why have you shifted the enemy's focus to your grandparents?"

Junjun said in a serious tone: "Because the enemy is too powerful, we have formed a temporary alliance to fight against the foreign reinforcements together!"

Chen Luyang: ...Alright!
Turning around, Chen Luyang handed the small bag to her mother:

"Oh, right, Mom, this is a box of snacks that Aunt Chen asked me to bring to you. She said you liked these last time, so she bought them for you specially."

Ok?
Just moments ago, Chen's mother had looked listless, but she suddenly sat up.

"Why would she send me this out of the blue!"

"Didn't you say you liked this?" After a pause, Chen Luyang said cheerfully:
"Mom, I don't remember you liking red date paste before. Why has your taste changed?"

Chen's mother looked wronged: "What! That day, we went to the Workers' Cultural Palace and saw a pastry stall by the roadside. I just said, 'This jujube paste cake smells pretty good.' Tell me, why did she buy one for me!"

"Isn't this a waste of money!"

Chen Luyang laughed: "Mom, just accept it. It's only fair to return the favor. You can buy her some more later, and that will settle things."

"I'll reimburse you for the cost later."

Chen's mother rolled her eyes at him: "Do I need you to report it for me?"

"Your mother is just a working person earning a wage, why are you showing off!"

Chen Luyang chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! My mom is amazing!"

After the family finished chatting happily, Chen Luyang tidied up and went inside to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Tomorrow will be his first public appearance in six months!
He needs a good night's sleep so he can make a refreshed appearance!
I slept soundly all night.

The next day, Chen Luyang got up early to wash her face, brush her teeth, wash her hair, shave, and even apply some makeup cream to her face.

soft!
So tender!

No wonder women like to apply skincare products to their faces; after applying them, the skin really does look softer!

After applying the ointment, Chen Luyang touched it for a long time, unable to put it down.

Just as Director Chen was standing in front of the mirror, admiring his own stunning good looks,
Chen Lihong could no longer bear it.

"Hey, second brother, you've been looking in the mirror for half a minute now, are you ever going to stop?!"

Chen Luyang said in a sweet voice, "Sis, now I know why you all love looking in the mirror. I'd love to look in the mirror too!"

As she spoke, Chen Luyang reached up and touched her chin. While not as smooth as Comrade Dazhi's face, it was still quite slippery.

"Alright, second brother, stop taking pictures! If you keep taking pictures, Xiaoling and Junjun will eat all your food, then what will you eat!"

As Chen's mother spoke, she threw the peeled eggs into Junjun's bowl.

"Mom, I have to say, you need to really control Xiaoling's diet!"

Chen Luyang walked back to the dining table with a smile, pulled a stool out from under her bottom, and sat down.

"This girl is strong; I feel like she could beat me to death!"

Chen Xiaoling was unhappy.

"So what? So what!"

"Dad said it's a blessing for girls to be able to eat a lot, what do you know!"

Chen Xiaoling rolled her eyes at Chen Luyang, then turned to Chen Dazhi and said in a coquettish tone:

"Dad, don't you think so?" Chen Dazhi spoke immediately without the slightest hesitation:
"Yes! Did we eat your rice?! Did we eat your flour?!"

"I'm happy to feed my daughter until she's strong and healthy, it's none of your business!"

As he spoke, Chen Dazhi took out another steamed bun and handed it to Chen Xiaoling.

"Come on, Ling'er~ have some buns! Let's eat our fill and get plump, Daddy can afford it!"

Chen Xiaoling happily accepted the steamed bun: "Mmm~"

Chen Luyang sighed as she looked at Chen Xiaoling.

"Okay, eat up~ The more you eat, the more you look like your dad."

Chen Xiaoling answered without hesitation: "I'm so proud to be like our dad!"

Chen Dazhi's face immediately lit up with joy: "It's my old maid who's been ruined!"

Chen Luyang: ...

Now that schools are on winter break, after dinner, the adults go to work, leaving the children to look after the house.

As usual, Chen's mother worriedly instructed, "Ling, stay home with Junjun and don't open the door for outsiders!"

Chen Xiaoling waved her hand: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm all grown up. I definitely won't open the door for others."

Chen's mother added, "The food is all in the pot. You can heat it up and eat it when you're hungry."

Chen Xiaoling waved her hand: "Don't worry, Mom, I know what I'm doing!"

Junjun, like a little man, looked up at Chen's mother and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll take care of things at home! I'll definitely..."

Before he could finish speaking, Junjun was silenced by Chen Xiaoling's terrifying gaze.

He happily said goodbye to Xiaoling and Junjun.
Chen Luyang rode bicycles with her parents, sister and brother-in-law to the machinery factory.

"Good morning, Director Chen!"

"Hey, Hisa, your college student is back!"

"When did you get back, Director Chen?"

"Hey! The college student is back!"

……

As soon as I entered the factory compound, I was greeted with a series of greetings.

Is Chen Luyang an ordinary person?
This is a senior engineer at the factory, the director of the provincial machinery factory's car maintenance and repair center in Pian'ercheng, and a student of Peking University!
Not only did he study in Pian'er City, but he also engaged in production and projects there.

Whenever someone mentions him, they can't help but say: This is no ordinary person!

Along the way, Chen Luyang strutted around like a peacock, greeting each and every coworker she met with enthusiasm, her smile never fading!

until……

"What is this thing?!"

In front of the rubber workshop gate,
Chen Luyang stood frozen at the doorway, staring blankly at the workshop entrance.

The factory notice was neatly pasted all over the workshop door, even denser than when it was used to seal window seams!
"The rubber workshop held a study and discussion session on further implementing the policy of adjustment, reform, rectification, and improvement, with Deputy Factory Director Yu Anshan providing guidance."

"The rubber workshop closely followed the policy of 'improving quality and increasing output' and actively carried out labor competitions, with Deputy Factory Director Yu Anshan participating as a judge."

"Veteran workers in the rubber workshop lead new apprentices, working together with one heart and one mind to build the business. They spontaneously organize 'mentoring' activities," said Deputy Factory Director Yu Anshan earnestly.

"The rubber workshop actively responded to the factory leadership's call and organized a 100-day intensive snow removal campaign, with Deputy Factory Director Yu Anshan personally leading the charge..."

"The rubber workshop welcomed a visit from the provincial flax factory, and Deputy Factory Director Yu Anshan personally accompanied them..."

……

Good guy...

Chen Luyang blushed with embarrassment.

No wonder Yu Anshan gets so angry whenever Dong Mangui is mentioned; anyone would be furious in that situation!
What the hell are you doing?!

Is this the workshop gate, or the factory's notice board?

What are they sticking up everywhere?!

...No, who caused this problem?

Along his journey, he didn't see a single workshop door with a factory notice posted on it.
Chen Luyang instinctively raised her hand, almost tearing these pieces of junk to shreds.

But halfway up his hand, he abruptly turned and awkwardly placed it on his head, scratching it.

Don't tear it...

At the very least, even if there's a falling out, it shouldn't be now; he should be the one to do it.

Judging from the weathered state of the newspaper on the door, it's clear that it's been there for quite some time.

I went away from home for half a year.

If you just get back to the factory, tear down the factory bulletin board on the door, so that the comrades in the workshop don't have any other ideas.

have to……

They come, the security.

Since it's posted, let's take a look.

Chen Luyang simply stood at the gate and looked at the factory bulletin board one by one, from top to bottom and from left to right.

Don't tell me~
During the six months he was away from the factory, the workshop made headlines in the factory newspaper quite a few times!
They focused on production, learning, team building, Party membership recruitment, cultural and sports activities... they really didn't neglect anything.

There's no need to listen to work reports anymore; just reading these factory reports is enough.

Yu Anshan was involved in 90% of these reports.

There's no need to ask; it's obviously Dong Mangui's doing.

Just as Chen Luyang was standing at the door, reading through the factory newspapers one by one,
A surprised but uncertain voice came:

"Director Chen?!"

Chen Luyang turned around and said with a smile, "Good morning, Xiao Du!"

When Du Han saw that it really was Chen Luyang, he was overjoyed and rushed over.

"Director Chen, you're finally back! We've all missed you so much!"

Chen Luyang said happily, "I've missed you guys terribly too. You've been quite busy these past six months."

Looking at the factory notice on the iron gate, Du Han smiled shyly.

"This is just a factual record; in the end, I still need the help of the comrades in the publicity department to polish it."

Although the person was shy,
However, his words implied that he was taking full credit for the reports he had written.

After saying that, Du Han even puffed out his chest slightly.

What's that pasted on the door?
Is this a factory report?
No!!!!!!!
This is his achievement over the past six months!

All of this is his achievement!

Who says being able to write reports isn't a good thing!

Pooh!
That's because they don't know how to do it!
You need to learn to do good things well so that you can bring honor and glory to yourself!
When Dong Mangui first suggested in the workshop that we should carry on the spirit of Director Chen and post the inside pages of the factory newspaper on the main gate to hold a "small exhibition to promote the workshop's special activities,"
Du Han was the first to clap his hands in agreement and strongly support it!

He not only provided support, but he also personally mixed the paste.
