Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 213 Good Children Under the Red Flag

"Perfect timing, Xiaofang is also going to school in the capital. I'll help you take care of her," the uncle said.

Xing Baohua stopped talking after hearing this. There probably aren't many people in the country who can earn more than him! He's just started out, and he's too out of touch. He doesn't understand the situation at all and still thinks his factory is a government-owned enterprise.

My mother-in-law also said, "I want you to work hard and not hang out with those kinds of people. What's so good about going into business?"

"Sister, that's so old-fashioned. Going into the sex industry is all the rage now. I read the newspapers every day while I was there, and they all encourage it."

Xing Baohua said softly to Su Ya, "Why does your uncle call you Xiao Fang?"

"I am Xiao. When I was little, my name was Fang. I didn't like the sound of it, so I changed it to Ya. My family calls me Xiao Fang."

Xing Baohua was quite shocked. She seemed to recall singing a section of Xiao Fang's song last year?

Did a song really fool Su Ya into coming here? When did I become so powerful?

My uncle wanted to go into business, so let him go. Although my mother-in-law was a little worried and a bit doting, she finally agreed.

They took some money from the house and gave it to Xing Baohua in front of her; the two siblings even offered it to her.

Xing Baohua didn't move an inch. What does that mean?

Why does it feel like they're trying to get me to spend some money too?

Even if they offered money, I couldn't get it! It's not a legitimate reason to borrow. Even if I were to borrow some money, I'd need to get an IOU, even if I didn't intend to pay it back. Besides, I didn't even ask to borrow it!

Besides, it's not customary for a prospective son-in-law to give money on the first meeting.

There is no such saying.

After the family had a meal, Xing Baohua said goodbye, and Su Ya saw him off. The two then strolled along the road.

They held hands, just like Xing Baohua used to take her home.

"I'll be home when I come back for the National Day holiday," Su Ya asked.

"I don't know! I haven't made any plans until then yet. When you go to school, I'll see if I can find time to take you there," Xing Baohua said.

"You're getting busier and busier these days, and you haven't spent time with me in ages," Su Ya said softly.

"Sigh, I have no choice! I recently landed a big project, and I've been busy with it all this time. Um, I prepared a pager and a cell phone for you when you go to school. Call me if you miss me."

“Okay! I’m just worried you’re not in Luzhong, so I won’t be able to get through,” Su Ya said.

This is indeed a problem. The mobile phone signal is not yet fully developed, let alone any roaming services.

Someone like Xing Baohua, who travels around for work, can't possibly carry a dozen phones. Does he have to register a new phone network every time he goes to a new place?

This guy is just too rich to spend his money!

Xing Baohua comforted Su Ya and said, "I can call you when I can't sleep at night."

Su Ya acted like a child, even making a pinky promise with Xing Baohua!

After dropping Su Ya off at home, Xing Baohua drove back home.

Su Ya is going to the Capital University of Technology to start school next week. Based on the current schedule, Xing Baohua might not be able to take her there.

The computers in the research lab are no longer the imitations made by Xing Baohua; they are all brand-name machines.

Great Wall and Lenovo were recommended by the ministry; we should support domestically produced equipment.

In Xing Baohua's heart, what support was there to speak of? He'd rather assemble his own machine himself!

This is also a common problem among tech enthusiasts: they look down on the specifications of brand-name products.

As a factory, we should give the department some face, so we'll buy a few units to support them.

Later, Xing Baohua will personally go to the computer department and confront those factories. But right now, there's no time for research and development; he can only focus on completing the tasks assigned by the ministry.

Organizing data is not just a matter of copying; you also need to thoroughly understand it to lay a solid foundation.

These are all foundational teaching courses for future upgrades and even other research and development.

Therefore, he and his team need to study it step by step. In fact, Xing Baohua doesn't understand any of the functions in CNC, such as the changes in the zxy axes.

Fortunately, Teacher Cheng was also present with his professional skills. Some of them were knowledgeable and broadened Xing Baohua's knowledge base.

This is the benefit of teamwork.

Taking a break from his busy schedule, Xing Baohua brought some foreign liquor, cigarettes, and two pieces of high-end clothing, and drove to the Zou family's house.
