Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 9 My Mom Has Good Vision

At this time, the unmotivated Chen Luyang is about to conquer all the women and children in the Chen family with his pockets full of candies!

"Where have you been during the day? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"

Mother Chen brought a plate of mixed cold dishes to the table and turned back to the kitchen to serve rice.

As the dog days of summer approached, everyone in the family was too hot to eat.

Chen's mother simply cut some cucumber into shreds and mixed it with a large plate of cold dishes. She also cooked a large pot of porridge and ate it with steamed buns.

At the dinner table, Junjun secretly reached into the basin to grab cucumber shreds, but before he could put his hand in, he was hit back by Chen Luyang.

"The little monkey doesn't even wash his paws. I have to wash my hands before I even sit at the table."

Junjun was stopped, stuck out his tongue and jumped to the basin to wash his hands.

When he ran back to the dining table, he was immediately dazzled by a small pile of candies.

"What is this, uncle?"

“It’s delicious! Come and try it!”

Chen Luyang took out a piece of chocolate with a liquor filling with a wicked smile, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into Junjun's mouth.

Junjun was young, and when he saw it was candy, he opened his mouth and ate it.

As soon as he bit open the candy skin, his face wrinkled and he pouted as if he wanted to spit out the candy.

too weird.

The outer icing is sweet,

But the candy core when you bite it open is bitter and spicy, and tastes very much like the white wine that my grandfather usually drinks.

It tastes good and tastes terrible.

"Hahahaha." Looking at Junjun's conflicted expression, Chen Luyang laughed with a smirk on his face.

"What bad things are you doing here?"

Chen's mother brought out the meal and cursed angrily.

Seeing the candy on the table, Chen's mother's face suddenly darkened:
"Second brother, where did you get all this candy? Did you steal money from the family again?"

Chen Luyang's smile froze. Before he could explain, he saw his father rushing out of the main room like Li Kui, glaring and cursing:

"You little bastard! What did you do with the money again?!"

Originally, Chen's father had been in a bad mood these past two days because of his college entrance examination.

When he heard that he had stolen money, he immediately became angry and raised his hand to beat him.

Chen Luyang dodged while complaining, "Don't hit me, these candies are from my company!"

unit?

When Mr. Chen heard this, he laughed out of anger.

"Tell me where you're from. If you can't tell me, I'll beat you to death today!"

While his father was stopping, Chen Luyang quickly took out his work ID from Songting Hotel.

Father Chen opened it angrily, then widened his eyes.

"Why don't you fight anymore?"

Seeing that his father hadn't said anything for a long time, Chen's mother came over to see what was going on.

The next moment, Chen's mother also widened her eyes and stared at the work permit in Chen's father's hand.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Luyang cleared his throat and said seriously:

"Comrade Feng Jiuxiang, I want to formally inform you."

"Your beloved son, Chen Luyang, became a waiter at Songting Hotel today."

Finally, Chen Luyang shyly emphasized:
"Temporary~"

The entire Chen family present: ...

In just one day,

From failing the college entrance examination to finding a job, Chen Luyang made his family feel confused.

Even with a work permit, Chen's father still didn't believe it.

At the dinner table, Father Chen held up his work ID and looked at it again and again, wondering:
"It seems that this Songting Hotel is not that good, how could they choose you?"

Mother Chen was unhappy: "What happened to the second child in the photo?"

"Our second son has the right size and looks. He even has to pay for his meal at Songting Restaurant."

"My mom has good taste!" Chen Luyang gave a thumbs up.

He quickly cut a piece of watermelon and handed it to Chen's mother, saying sweetly, "Mom, when I get my salary, I will take you to the street to buy clothes and vanishing cream, and we will dress up beautifully!"

Father Chen rolled his eyes: "Tsk!"

Chen Luyang quickly picked up the broken palm-leaf fan on the table and fanned Chen's father while flattering him:

"I also have to buy my good dad a new radio,"

"We listen to the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties every day, not those crap the Japs say!" Father Chen nodded in satisfaction, "You little bastard, you still have some conscience!"

finished,

Father Chen turned to Sun Zhigang and asked, "What did the HR department say?"

When talking about this, Sun Zhigang got angry.

"When I went there early this morning, the head of the personnel department said he was reporting to the factory director's office."

"But in the afternoon, he took sick leave and I didn't see him all day."

Father Chen was surprised: "What disease came so suddenly?"

Sun Zhigang smiled bitterly: "I guess there were too many people looking for him, so he found an excuse to hide away."

As recruitment is approaching, the head of the personnel department took sick leave, which is not a good thing.

There were rumors in the factory before that the employment quota for employees' children would be reduced, and now it seems that it is 70% true.

Father Chen sighed. It seemed that it was not that easy to get into the factory.

Chen Luyang took a bite of the cucumber and said, "Dad, don't get so angry."

"I've already made up my mind. I'm going to take the college entrance exam again next year and get into a good university. It doesn't matter where I work."

"If you can get into the factory, go in!"

"There's no news from the factory, so I'll just work in the restaurant first."

"Anyway, I'm only working temporarily at the hotel. Once I get the job at the factory, I can quit."

Now we have to prepare for everything.
No matter what I do in the future, at least I will have a job to do.

Father Chen glared at him and said nothing.

Silence means support!
Mother Chen listened to Chen Luyang's plan with a smile: "I've always heard others say that children grow up so quickly, but I still don't believe it."

"Now I see that my son has become sensible all of a sudden."

Chen Luyang ate a cucumber shyly: "That's all thanks to my parents' good education."

Father Chen snorted coldly, but he became more energetic as he fanned himself with his chubby hands.

As night fell, a cool and refreshing breeze blew through the sand pear trees in the yard.

Mother Chen looked up at the sago tree and said cheerfully:

"Wait a few days until the fruit turns red again, then you can pick it and eat it."

"I'll cook some more canned crab apples then, and you can take them to Technician Song's house."

"You can tell me how heartless Technician Song's foreign wife was. She abandoned all three children and just returned to her country."

"A grown man is left to raise three children, with no one to take charge at home or outside."

Technician Song is named Song Jianhua. He is a senior technical expert in the factory. When he was young, he was one of the most handsome men in the factory.

At that time, there were a large number of Soviet experts sent to the machinery factory.

Technician Song fell in love with one of the beautiful Soviet female experts and married her. They had three children: Song Liaosha, Song Vasily and Song Nata.

Originally, the family of five lived happily in the small courtyard of the machinery factory.

But no one expected that the Soviet Union suddenly issued an evacuation order.

The Soviet female expert had no choice but to obey the order, leaving her three children to Technician Song and following her compatriots back to their homeland.

Technician Song is a grown man who plays the role of both father and mother.

During the day, he had to work to study the technology left by Soviet experts. At noon and in the evening, he had to go home to cook for his three hungry children, and then rush back to the factory to work after eating.

Adults suffer, and children suffer too.

The neighbors felt sorry for the family and would often make some food and send it to them.

Chen's mother often invites her three children to her home for dinner, and the relationship between the two families is particularly close.

"That's fine now. You can go to Songting Hotel with Song Liaosha. You'll have someone to keep you company."

Mother Chen was muttering,

On the other side, the Japanese tune of "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" came from the tape recorder again.

Father Chen looked up and asked Chen Luyang: "Can you understand what is said in it today?"

Chen Luyang listened for a while and said, "They're bragging about their cars, saying they're the world's number one in car production."

"They're already the world's number one in automobile production. I wonder when we'll be able to manufacture cars." Father Chen fiddled with the antenna and sighed.
"It would be nice to have a blueprint,"

"What's wrong, Dad? Are your hands itching?" Chen Luyang asked in a cheeky tone.

Father Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Whether my hands itch or not depends on whether your skin itch or not."

Seeing Chen Luyang shrink back instantly, Father Chen snorted, put down the radio, and said sadly:

"As long as we have a blueprint, we can build a car according to it."

"Yes! We can make anything in the future!" Chen Luyang replied with a smile.
