Xiang Mianmian returned home and did not mention the topic of lighters to Chen Wei. She just kept making matchboxes in silence. After get off work, she gave five dollars to Zhang Jidi.
She had finished her winter vacation homework long ago, and she was still having a good time with her first-grade homework.
I have nothing to do, and I don’t want to play shuttlecock and cat’s tuck with real seven or eight-year-old girls. I don’t even have a cell phone, so I might as well do something at home and have money to eat meat buns.
...Although the five dollars could not reach her hands, her family was well-off and her life would definitely be a little better.
It can be seen that Xiang Mianmian will never go on a diet to lose weight in her life. As a person who is afraid of being hungry, she will eat whatever she can get her hands on.
One night near the New Year.
[Ding, help Chen Wei get housing eligibility before the Lantern Festival. Mission completed. Rewards are being distributed. One apartment will be given within three days.]
Xiang Mianmian, who was sleeping soundly, turned over, thinking that he was hallucinating, and buried his head in the quilt and fell asleep again.
It was not until the next day, when I woke up with sleepy eyes, that I realized that my task had been completed.
Her eyes glowed green: [Great, let’s eat meat.]
It's no surprise that System 6 has accepted his fate. What else can he do with a host like this? What else can he do?
[By the way, I didn't expect Chen Wei to be so impressive. He pointed out the difference between water and water vapor, and then liquefied methane to make lighter fuel. This guy is quite capable.]
System Xiao6: [Actually, don't underestimate the working people. They're sometimes quite capable. If you can't do it even after giving me some pointers, then you're just stupid.]
[That's right, there are experts among the common people. I'm quite curious about why you gave me rewards, Xiao Liu. Once it was for listening to gossip, and once it was for picking up envelopes. What's new this time?]
System Xiao 6 refused to reveal the spoilers and turned off the microphone.
Xiang Mianmian didn't care. She helped Xiang Lili paste matchboxes at home as usual. When she got off work in the afternoon, she found that Chen Wei, who was in high spirits, came home.
Xiang Meimei blushed when she saw her fiancé and asked, "You must be tired from working in the R&D department these days. Are you taking a day off today?"
When Xiang Mianmian got home, she told her that Chen Wei was busy with work and had not been home for several days. When they found him, he was sleeping in the R&D department of the factory.
"The new product has been successfully tested and tested. Today our boss gave us annual leave and we will go back to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I thought I would come to help at home and leave any heavy work to me."
Chen Wei successfully experimented with a lighter last night, and his boss was so surprised that he gave him an extra long annual leave.
Everyone works until the 29th day of the lunar year, has a New Year's Eve dinner on the 30th, and goes back to work on the 4th. It can be seen that Chen Wei's hard work during this period has not been in vain.
As for how to mass-produce lighters and how to set up the assembly line, that is not Chen Wei's concern. There are many experienced masters in the factory. What is lacking is not the ability to do the work, but creativity.
Chen Wei slept for the second half of the night and the whole day, then rushed to Xiang's house to help.
After all, the prospective son-in-law didn't even show up on Laba Festival. If outsiders knew about it, they would think that something had happened between him and Meimei.
What if someone comes to steal my wife?
His Meimei is so powerful and beautiful, he can't let his wife fly away, so he quickly comes to keep an eye on her.
The two lovers looked at each other affectionately. Xiang Mianmian and Xiang Lili knew that they were redundant. They looked at each other and went back to their rooms to work.
After Zhang Jidi and Xiang Hongqi returned home, Chen Wei explained the reason to his mother-in-law and Taishan, and handed over this month's salary and tickets to Xiang Meimei in person.
Seeing that his son-in-law was so sensible, no matter how angry he was, he calmed down. Zhang Jidi felt sorry for his future son-in-law who had been working overtime for more than ten days, so he asked Xiang Mianmian to buy half a chicken and make braised chicken nuggets for him to nourish him.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Xiaodi came to Xiang's house, sweating profusely and knocking on the door: "Brother, it's important, I have something to tell you, huhuhu..."
Xiang Meimei quickly poured water for her brother-in-law and calmed him down: "Tell me slowly, what's wrong? You're sweating profusely from running around. Come and wipe it off."
She gave Chen Liang a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Chen Liang took it shyly and wiped his head a few times with excitement on his face:
"When I got off work, the R&D department posted a notice outside the factory and also broadcast a message saying you had developed a new sample. After a meeting of factory leaders, they decided to give you a house!"
Everyone who heard the news was overjoyed, especially the Xiang family. They were overjoyed. Such a good and motivated son-in-law belonged to the Xiang family, so the son-in-law was also half a son!
Chen Wei looked at Zhang Jidi's face and said, "Auntie, we agreed that we would apply for a house near the steel plant..."
"This is a reward from the factory. How can it be the same? Okay, just live happily together. Am I going to force you to give up the house?"
Zhang Jidi is not that stupid. He was just trying to annoy Chen's mother who said she wanted to leave the job to her youngest son. Now he has gotten over his anger, so why should he still care?
Besides, if I don’t want the reward house, I won’t be able to wait in line for staff housing until who knows when.
How could she let Xiang Meimei suffer and live with Chen Ma and her daughter-in-law while waiting in line to apply for a house? What if there was any unpleasantness?
Chen Liang took a deep breath and said, "Brother, Mom asked you to go back. There are some things to discuss."
Chen Wei had just arrived at the Xiang family. He looked at Zhang Jidi's face, but he couldn't bear to look at Xiang Meimei. "Okay, I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. Uncle, aunt, Meimei, see you later."
"It's time to go back. You should take care of such important matters first." Xiang Hongqi seldom spoke, but once he spoke, Zhang Jidi would not refute him.
Chen Wei followed Chen Liang back, riding his bicycle as fast as he could.
When we arrived at Chen's house, we found a red carpet at the door. This was not the style of this family. Sure enough, when we went in, we saw the director of the match factory and his boss.
