Chapter 239 Simple Sleeping Bed

Chunmei really found the right person in this regard. Dongqing was in the machinery business in his previous life, and the fully automated production lines for instant noodles and seasoning factories are etched in his mind.

Dong Qing said, "I'll figure out a way to design a fully automated production line, and our machinery factory will add these two products to our product line. I'll sell the equipment used in Chunmei's factory to her at cost; we won't make a single penny."

They've done me such a big favor, I can't just pretend I don't know what's going on, and I can't just leave them without giving anything back!

Li Yuzhu said, "Of course, I won't object to whatever you do."

The next morning, Su Wei helped the village contact a construction company, and two days later they signed a construction contract for the food processing plant. Construction was scheduled to begin in half a month, with a construction period of one year.

Designing two sets of fully automated production equipment drawings was no easy task. It took Dong Qing half a month to complete the design drawings for the two sets of fully automated production lines.

Of course, he couldn't make the electrical control equipment himself. He just wrote down the working principle of the electrical equipment on the drawings. The mechanical factory has the electromechanical department and the low-voltage electrical department. These technical personnel are responsible for solving these problems. Otherwise, what's the point of supporting so many college students?

The next day, after breakfast, Dong Qing took two sets of blueprints to the design department of the machinery factory. He handed the two sets of blueprints to Li Hui, the head of the technical department, and said, "See if you can understand them. Ask me if you don't understand anything."

It took Li Hui a long time to read through the blueprints for the two fully automated production lines.

Dong Qing's drawings weren't particularly professional, but as someone with a mechanical background, they were easy for him to understand. He said, "These two sets of sketches are so advanced! Who designed these drawings?"

Dong Qing didn't want to explain too much to him. He said, "It doesn't matter who designed it. Just improve the unreasonable parts and get ready to feed in the materials and start production."

Li Hui said, "Okay, give me six months, and I will definitely produce these two fully automated production lines."

Such a large-scale project involving two fully automated production lines really takes time. After manufacturing, testing and improvements are needed, and a short timeframe simply won't work.

As the Spring Festival approached, Zhu Xiaofei's eyesight still showed no signs of recovery. At this point, she had lost all hope of continuing treatment. Only after Li Yuzhu's repeated persuasion did she agree to continue the treatment.

Fang Lin was already over four months pregnant. She wore thick clothes in the winter, and if it were summer, people would have noticed long ago. On the sixteenth day of the lunar year, she told Dong Qing, "My pregnancy is over, and I'm going back to my hometown early."

"Alright, you can go home early. I'll have my third sister temporarily supervise your work, and then I'll hand it over to you when you get back."

After Dong Qing finished speaking, he took out 50,000 yuan from the drawer and handed it to Fang Lin, saying, "Take this home and use it!"

Fang Lin said, "I can't accept this money; I have my own money."

Dong Qing said, "Take this money. It's not for you. Are you refusing money meant for your unborn child?"

Fang Lin couldn't refuse and eventually accepted the 50,000 yuan.

When Fang Lin returned home that evening, she said, "Yunfei, I'm taking the child home tomorrow."

Song Yunfei said, "Can't we wait until the Spring Festival holiday to go back together?"

Fang Lin said, "My belly is showing too much to hide anymore. I want to go home early. If you miss the baby, come visit me at my parents' house during the Spring Festival holiday."

The husband asked, "How are you planning to get back?"

She said, "I'm driving back home to rest for a few months, and I need to bring the car back to use it."

Song Yunfei said, "I'll go to the station now to see if there's anyone going back to Sichuan who can drive. If so, I can ask them to drive you back."

Driving thousands of miles while pregnant is no easy task. Fang Lin said, "Okay, but you can't go. They won't trust you because you don't understand the Sichuan dialect. You stay home and take care of the baby; I'll go."

Song Yunfei thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

Fang Lin drove to the train station, got out of the car, and walked into the ticket hall.

It's now the peak season for Spring Festival travel, and there are long queues of people buying train tickets.

She asked in her hometown dialect from the crowd in line, "Anyone from my hometown going home?"

Finding someone using dialect is easy; soon a woman in her thirties said, "I'm going back to my hometown. Are you going back too?"

Fang Lin could easily tell that the woman had a genuine Sichuan accent. During their conversation, they discovered that they were from the same county and the woman's name was Xiaoyu.

Fang Lin asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, can you drive?"

Xiaoyu said, "I used to drive a truck in my hometown."

"If you can drive a truck, you can drive a car," Fang Lin said. "I'm driving back to my hometown, but it's too tiring to drive alone. Would you like to drive home with me?"

Xiaoyu queued all day but couldn't buy a train ticket. There was no reason for her not to agree to a free ride home, so she readily agreed.

Xiaoyu and Fanglin walked out of the train station ticket hall, boarded the train together, and Fanglin took her home.

It turns out that Xiaoyu runs a small business here. She rents a room in the urban village and lives and eats in the same room.

Fang Lin said she would come to pick you up tomorrow morning, get in the car, start the engine, and go home.

When Fang Lin returned home, she told her husband that she had found a driver and they would go back to their hometown the next morning.

Song Yunfei said, "I'll drive out and convert the car into a sleeper car for you, so the child will be more comfortable sleeping on the way."

Fang Lin asked, "How did you convert such a big car into a sleeper car? Don't leave it riddled with holes."

Song Yunfei laughed after hearing his wife's words. He said, "Do I need to modify the car just to make a temporary sleeper berth? Don't worry, I can convert the car into a sleeper berth for you without spending a penny."

Fang Lin didn't say anything after hearing her husband's words. She also wanted to create a place for the two children to sleep on the road. How to modify it didn't matter, as long as it was practical.

Fang Lin asked the nanny to stay home a little later so she could look after the child, and she and her husband left the house together.

Song Yunfei and his wife drove to the foam factory. Song Yunfei works in the municipal government and can handle business at any factory without any problems.

He briefly explained his purpose to the boss, who understood everything immediately.

He had the workers take knives and foam, and in no time they filled in the empty space in front of the car seats. After filling it in, it was the same height as the seats and fit perfectly, so the foam wouldn't move.

However, foam is the easiest to deform under pressure. The workers sawed a piece of plywood to prevent the board from damaging the car seat leather. They laid a thin layer of foam under the board and then placed the board flat on the seat and foam.

Finally, a sponge was laid on top of the board, and a temporary sleeping berth was made. This way, the child can sleep on the bus without falling off the bed while the bus is moving, and adults can also lie down next to the child to sleep. This kind of sleeping berth is both economical and practical.

Driving back to our hometown these days is different from the 21st century. There are no highways, and driving on national roads all the way is very slow. It's really necessary to design a sleeper berth for the two kids.

This is a luxury car model equipped with air conditioning, so the child won't get cold while sleeping in the car while it's in motion.

At the crack of dawn the next day, Song Yunfei took his wife's luggage downstairs and put it in the trunk. He laid a blanket and two pillows on the back seat, which would serve as a temporary home for his two daughters during the drive.
