Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 524 Poor Engineer Cao
Chen Luyang said, "Of course! What does our country need for development?"

"The Soviet Union had timber, oil, fertilizer, steel, and non-ferrous metals!"

"Putting everything else aside, just look at how much timber is available across from Zhuizihe City!"

"If we could bring all that timber in, wouldn't our country have enough materials for building houses, undertaking engineering projects, making paper, and constructing railways?!"

Song Liaosha's eyes gradually brightened!

"Brother, you mean...we're definitely going to open up to the Soviet Union?"

Chen Luyang thumped his chest angrily: "Then it absolutely has to be opened up!"

"Have you forgotten what's written under Tiananmen Square?"

Long live the great unity of all people in the world!

Chen Luyang stared intently at Song Liaosha, every word he spoke brimming with power.

People all over the world are united, let alone the Soviet Union.

Why aren't they the people?

After a few words, Song Liaosha's initial disappointment, sadness, and anger immediately turned into sunshine!

"Brother...you're right!!!"

"Which of my words was unreasonable?!"

Seeing that Song Liaosha's emotions had finally calmed down, Chen Luyang bent down and poured her a glass of water.

"We've waited all these years, what's one or two more? Just wait a little longer."

Song Liaosha nodded, then asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Brother, you said our country is short of timber, is that right?"

"What's wrong with that! Look at us, we have a lot of timber here, but other places don't have this much. If we want to develop, we have to buy it..."

Chen Luyang continued talking to himself, completely unaware of the light gradually brightening in Song Liaosha's eyes!
wood……

Song Liaosha held the teacup and nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, stop thinking about this." Chen Luyang interrupted Song Liaosha's thoughts.
Did you tell Vasily and Nata about your trip?

"No, I said there was something going on at the factory, that's all."

This is, after all, just speculation.

If she didn't have accurate information, Song Liaosha wouldn't have told her younger siblings, so as not to let them get their hopes up for nothing.

"Yes, let's not talk about this now. We'll think of a way to find an auntie when we have the chance later."

Ok.

Song Liaosha nodded and yawned wearily.

"These past two days have been exhausting for me, I need to go back to my room and get some sleep."

"Brother, don't make any plans for tonight. I'll get Da Le and the others together and treat you to a welcome dinner."

"Okay! I'll tell my mom later that she won't be cooking for me tonight."

Chen Luyang stood up and saw Song Liaosha out.

Before she could take two steps, Song Liaosha suddenly turned around and stopped.
"elder brother!"

"I'm not trying to be mean... but you usually have hobbies at home, like putting photos on the door or something, so that's fine."

"Don't bother with the stickers in the workshop, they look really stupid."

Chen Luyang froze!
...Critical hit!!!
Pure critical hit!!!

He never imagined that one day he would be called an idiot by that silly deer Song Liaosha!
"...No, they put those stickers on the door on their own initiative, I didn't ask them to!"

Chen Luyang was so wronged.

At home, it was all the idea of ​​Chen's mother, eldest sister, and younger sister.

He hasn't been in the workshop for the past six months!
It was all Dong Mangui's idea!
"Whether you give in or not is up to you, it's all up to you anyway." Song Liaosha couldn't be bothered to listen to his explanation.

Chen Damen, huh?
They have a strange penchant for making strange noises on the gate.

Looking down at Chen Luyang's zipper, Song Liaosha said in a cheeky tone:

"Brother, I'm afraid if I don't persuade you now, one day you might end up sticking newspapers on the front door!"

I'll fuck you uncle!
Chen Luyang used an electric kick to send Song Liaosha flying out of the office.

Song Liaosha laughed heartily.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to shout at Chen Luyang:
Don't forget tonight!

Don't worry!!!

……

At this moment in the fusion workshop
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the table, where various data and part diagrams were recorded on a small blackboard.

Everyone in the room was sitting on benches with their heads down, drawing blueprints. The rulers swished and the pencils scratched.

Although the third batch of upgraded cars has been launched on the market, there are still many problems.

In particular, fuel consumption and shock absorption still need to be improved and adjusted.

As he drew, Xiao Wu took the pencil off his ear and stretched: "I heard Xiao Chen is coming back in the next couple of days, I wonder if it's true..."

Old Yin chuckled, "I think this kid is probably figuring out how to make his entrance. Who knows when he'll put on a show and give us a 'grand entrance'?"

“That’s right…” Old Zhou chimed in with a smile.

"If he comes back, wouldn't he come to our workshop first? This is his old haunt!"

Just as everyone was chatting, a piercing cough came from the front door.

"Cough cough...!!!"

Then, a familiar yet irritating voice rang out:
"Everyone is working very hard! That's great! I'm very pleased!"

Everyone in the workshop turned around abruptly and saw Chen Luyang swaggering in with her hands behind her back.

Old Yin chuckled: "What did I tell you? This kid was bound to come back pretending."

Just finished speaking,

Xiao Wu jumped up excitedly and punched Chen Luyang in the shoulder:
"You bastard, you're finally back."

"I haven't seen you for six months, I almost forgot what you look like!"

"Haha, it's fine if you forget, so you won't have to worry about me~" Chen Luyang laughed and scolded at the same time, and happily dodged away.

While the two were playfully bickering, Lao Jiang, Lao Zhou, Lao Hao, and the others gathered around, their faces beaming with smiles.
"Xiao Chen, you're finally back! We've been talking about you every day."

"Hey Chen, how's university? Did you fail any courses?"

"I heard you also started a project in Pian'er City, that's impressive!"

……

In an instant, Chen Luyang felt like she was surrounded by a galaxy of stars, her face beaming with joy.

"Oh, really? You talk about me all the time~"

"Who do you take me for? Do you think I'd fail a course?"

"Seriously, my project was so amazing you wouldn't even know it in your dreams, it was incredibly impressive! The Municipal Economic Commission and the Municipal Science and Technology Commission of Piancheng had to listen to my reports..."

Chen Luyang happily bragged to everyone.

Just as they were playing, the workshop door was pushed open, and a somewhat flustered voice came out:

"I'm so sorry, something came up at work and I'm late."

Chen Luyang subconsciously turned around and exclaimed in surprise:
"Xiao Kong the translator?!"

"Teacher Chen?!"

Kong Chengju was carrying a bulging canvas bag, with two braids, his round little face was red from the cold, and his eyes were bright and full of surprise.

"What are you doing here?!" Chen Luyang asked in surprise.

"I'm here to be the translator." Xiao Kong pointed to a stack of Japanese documents on the table, looking at Chen Luyang with some excitement.

Chen Luyang's face immediately showed a look of bitterness.

"It's over...it's all over, it ...!"

"With you acting as the translator, I'm completely useless now. How am I supposed to get back to the fusion workshop?"

"Get lost!" Cao Qinghang cursed.

"Don't even think about slacking off. There's plenty of material in the workshop, and you still have a lot of value to you."

Xiao Kong chimed in anxiously, "Yes, Teacher Chen, my Japanese... oh dear!"

She meant to say her Japanese wasn't good, but her spoken Japanese is actually quite good!!!
If her Japanese wasn't good, she wouldn't have been Chen Tuo's translator. But compared to Chen Luyang, she really can't compare.

Besides, translating these Japanese mechanical engineering materials every day is really strenuous for her.

It was not only strenuous, but also incredibly stressful!

Recently, I've not only developed two pimples on my forehead, but I've also lost several strands of hair.

Seeing Chen Luyang return, Xiao Kong was as excited as if the liberated area had seen the sun; he was practically dancing the Yangko on the spot.

Chen Luyang glanced at the excited Xiao Kong and quickly said, "Your Japanese is really impressive! Awesome!"

Hao Fengchun, standing to the side, laughed and said, "How could it not be exciting!"

"This is a talent that our Factory Director Wang specially invited from the province."

Although Chen Luyang had recommended Kong Chengju to the factory as a translator before he went to Peking University.

However, at that time, Xiao Kong was still working as a translator in the province and couldn't get away.

Therefore, although the factory adopted Chen Luyang's suggestion, it did not actually implement it.

It wasn't until Wang Qingzhou was promoted to deputy director of the Industrial Department and made arrangements with the propaganda department that Kong Chengju was "borrowed" to the machinery factory, and only then did he officially begin to take over the translation of the factory's technical documents.

Because he also had to work in the province during the day, Kong Chengju couldn't come to the factory to translate from morning till night; he had to run between the two places.

After finishing up here, I rushed back to the machine factory to continue translating.

"Let me check if my little house is still there~"

Chen Luyang happily followed the familiar route and pushed open the small door at the back of the workshop.

In the small office, his own desk was still there.

Even the fountain pen and pencil in the pen holder, the manuscript paper on the left, and the comic book of Song Liaosha that had been stolen earlier were still there!

"You all saved these for me?!"

Chen Luyang's pupils contracted, and a feeling of joy mixed with choked emotion welled up inside her.

Although he is now the workshop director of the rubber factory, he also studied and opened a repair shop in Pian'er Town.
But in his heart, his happiest days were those spent as a translator in the fusion workshop.

This is his home in the factory.

Cao Qinghang said happily, "I've saved the work for you too!"

Although Chen Luyang has a heavy responsibility!
But it was still his first day back at work after the holiday!
Who starts working on their first day of work?
It's been so long since we last met, we absolutely have to have a good chat!
As it blew on,

Chen Luyang looked at Xiao Wu with some disdain:

"What happened? You've been eating feed for the past six months, how did you get so fat?!"

Xiao Wu used to be a thin and slender young man, but now his cheeks have become round.

Old Jiang laughed: "Isn't it just that they're eating feed? And it's Happiness brand feed, no less."

"You don't know, do you? Xiao Wu is getting married this year."

wipe……

It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
Although Chen Luyang had already learned from Aunt Chen last night that Xiao Wu was getting married,

But he still pretended to be clueless and asked:
"Marriage? Who are you going to marry?"

Xiao Wu proudly tossed his hair: "Of course, it's with my Xiaoman!"

"Speaking of which, you're the one who introduced us. I'll make sure you drink a couple more bottles of wedding wine at the wedding!"

Old Yin laughed and teased him: "You're kidding me, right? The girl hasn't even married you yet, and you're already calling her yours?"

Xiao Wu said smugly, "That's just a matter of time."

"..."

Chen Luyang was envious.

Now that Xiao Wu and Xiao Man are about to get married,

He's not even old enough to be considered legally old...

Damn me!
Chen Luyang gritted her teeth, about to utter a curse:
"I hate!"

But the next moment, Chen Luyang's eyes inadvertently glanced at Cao Qinghang, who was standing next to him, smiling at him.

Instantly, Chen Luyang's pupils contracted.

"Mr. Cao... I haven't seen you for a few days, you've gotten so thin!!"

Although Cao Qinghang was thin before, he still had a strong and robust air about him, with a fleshy face and a strong voice.

A perfectly healthy man, now his cheeks are completely sunken, his clothes are barely held up by his frame, and he's almost unrecognizable from being so thin.

Cao Qinghang laughed and said, "Clothes make you look thinner; wearing more clothes makes you look slimmer."

Chen Luyang was stunned.

He even wanted to ruffle Cao Qinghang's hair and ask him:
How could a scholarly engineer say something so perplexing?

In all her years, Chen Luyang had never heard of wearing more clothes to make someone look thinner.

After looking around, Chen Luyang asked curiously:
"Hey? I just saw Chairwoman Sui from the Women's Federation come out of our workshop. Are we having an event with the Women's Federation?"

It would have been better not to ask that question.

As soon as he finished asking the question, Xiao Wu kept winking at Chen Luyang.

"There's nothing going on, they're here to introduce me to potential partners."

Compared to Xiao Wu's nervousness, Cao Qinghang was noticeably more composed.

"I already said I didn't need it, but Chairman Sui still introduced me to someone..."

For a moment, Chen Luyang really wanted to slap herself.

Really!
Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
...No, it's been almost a whole year since Jiang Xiaohua disappeared.

If it were someone else, after searching in vain, they would eventually come to terms with it.

Chen Luyang really didn't expect that Cao Qinghang would still be so hung up on Jiang Xiaohua!
at once,

Chen Luyang's gaze deepened.

It's true that you don't know the harm without comparison.

Looking at Xiao Wu, he felt miserable.

But when he saw Engineer Cao, he realized he was actually quite happy.

At least he still knew where Chen Jinyue was and where his home was.

When I miss someone, I can take the train home to see them.

As for Cao Qinghang... all that's left is a lingering thought.

"Engineer Cao, I need to tell you something!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Luyang looked at Cao Qinghang with a serious expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious?" Cao Qinghang asked with a gentle smile, startled by Chen Luyang's sudden seriousness.

"Jiang..."

Before Chen Luyang could finish speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the front door, and a young worker rushed in, his brows covered in sweat.

"Something's wrong!" The young worker was so anxious he could hardly breathe.

"During a test drive at the factory, there was almost an accident when we braked suddenly!"

"I heard the car was shaking violently, and the test driver was so scared his face turned pale!"

"Deputy Factory Director Yu, Director Hao, and several workshop team leaders are all on site right now. Let the people from our fusion workshop go over and take a look!"

Instantly, everyone's hearts tightened.

"go!"

……

At the factory's test track, a cold wind was blowing straight in.

A brand-new car, fresh off the production line, is parked on the side of the track, its hood steaming.

The test driver in the driver's seat was pale and hadn't recovered yet. He was squatting on the ground, panting heavily.

When he slammed on the brakes, he felt the car lurch forward and jolt violently, as if it had been lifted up and shaken, almost crashing into the guardrail.

"what happened?!"

Yu Anshan's face was ashen as he walked to the car, his voice filled with anger.
