Three days later, Sun Zhengguo submitted the completed report to the Ministry of Machinery and then paid no further attention to the matter.
Since the higher-ups will definitely approve it, all that's left is to wait until the research institute is built and then notify them to move.
After finishing this matter, Zhang, the factory director, and Wang, the factory director of the military factory, went to pick up the machine tool as agreed.
So the workers were in trouble again. They had to disassemble the machine in the same way it was assembled, otherwise the machine would be too big to transport.
After several busy days, the two machine tools were finally delivered. Then Sun Zhengguo sent several technicians to assist with the installation before the matter was settled.
After finishing all that, Sun Zhengguo finally took out the blueprints for the gear hobbing machine.
"Sigh! I guess I'm just born to be a workaholic."
Looking at the blueprints in his hand, even with his extraordinary energy, he couldn't help but complain.
Despite his complaints, he still distributed the blueprints, instructing those who could produce the materials to do so themselves, and those who couldn't to have the liaison team seek help from other units.
After finishing all that, it was the weekend again.
In the morning, in the Sun family's courtyard, just after everyone had finished breakfast, Sun Zheng'an and his wife arrived.
Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma, eldest brother and sister-in-law!
Good morning!
"..."
After exchanging greetings, Ning Xiaowei noticed that Yu Li's hands were empty and asked her what was wrong.
"Yu Li, where's Mao Mao? Why didn't you bring him along?"
"Hey! I wanted to take it with me, but Mom took it away first thing this morning," Yu Li said, spreading her hands with a helpless expression.
Grandma, sitting on the bench, understood the unspoken message: these people were going out today.
So she asked, "Xiaowei, Yuli, where are you two headed?"
"Grandma, Zhenghong is getting married next week, and our two families are planning to get her a set of three watches and one ring. We're going to go to the department store later, would you and Grandpa like to come along?"
Ning Xiaowei explained the situation to her grandmother and also planned to take the two elderly people out for a trip.
"Goodness!" Grandma glanced at her two grandsons, then at her two granddaughters-in-law, and finally asked cautiously.
"Xiaowei, Yuli, do you have any objections to what those two brothers are doing?"
Grandma asked this not because she didn't love her granddaughter, but because she was afraid that her two granddaughters-in-law would be dissatisfied and cause conflicts within the family.
Ning Xiaowei and Yu Li both shook their heads upon hearing this.
"Grandma, I have no objections. I will fully support Zheng Guo's decision."
“Grandma, I won’t have any objections either,” Yu Li added.
Are you kidding me?
Needless to say, Sun Zhengguo has at least 10,000 yuan in cash on his hands, not to mention other valuables, shops and properties.
As for Sun Zheng'an?
The 1,000 yuan they received for their wedding has barely been touched, and there are almost no household expenses. The young couple now earns a fairly high salary, totaling over 80 yuan a month.
Do you think either of them would be short of this little bit of money?
"Great! Great! Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything. It's so good that Zheng Hong has brothers and sisters-in-law like you."
Seeing the statements of his two granddaughters-in-law, the grandfather couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's set off." Sun Zhengguo picked up his son and prepared to walk out the door.
"Jung-guk, wait a minute."
"Grandpa, is there anything else?" Sun Zhengguo turned and asked.
"Jung-guk, you guys go ahead and shop, Grandpa and Grandma won't come along."
Knowing his grandfather's temper, Sun Zhengguo didn't try to persuade him any further. He led the others out the door, got into the car, and drove straight to the department store.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the car arrived at Wangfujing Street.
Because there were many people today, Sun Zhengguo parked the car not far from the department store, and then the group walked over.
"Honey, be careful with your big belly, and don't go to crowded places."
As they approached the department store, Sun Zhengguo gave them careful instructions.
"It's okay. Just standing there like this, no one will dare to come near me." Ning Xiaowei was also in a playful mood and even joked.
"That's right, sister-in-law. If anyone dares to come near you, just sit down on the ground and yell that your stomach hurts. See if we can extort them out of them."
Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Sun Zheng'an also started joking around.
"Hehe!" Yu Li laughed when she heard this. "Zheng An, what are you saying? You even sat down on the ground. If I get pregnant again, will you also learn from him and let him extort you to death?"
"Hahaha……!"
Seeing his older brother and sister-in-law laughing at him, Sun Zheng'an shrugged helplessly, indicating that they could do whatever they wanted, and then followed the group into the department store.
Since we came here specifically to buy things, the group headed straight for the bicycle section.
"Brother, there are so many bicycles here. I think this old-fashioned 28-inch bike is pretty good, and it's even a Forever brand! Look how sturdy it is..."
Upon arriving at the bicycle area, Sun Zheng'an pointed to a men's Forever bicycle and began giving a lively speech.
"Get out of here! I don't know what you were thinking? You're making our little sister ride this big guy, what kind of image does that make?"
Sun Zhengguo scolded his younger brother, then looked at the women's bicycle next to him and asked Ning Xiaowei about it.
"Honey, which of these cars do you think is suitable? If it's okay, we'll buy it."
Ning Xiaowei looked at them; the cars were almost identical, making it difficult to tell them apart.
Just then, she suddenly noticed an aluminum phoenix emblem smashed on a car and said something.
"Zhengguo, our family all owns Phoenix brand cars, let's just buy this one!"
Sun Zhengguo looked at the car, did not object, and then called over the salesperson.
"Salesperson, how much is this Phoenix brand bicycle for women?"
"Oh! This bicycle costs 198 yuan, plus a women's bicycle ticket."
Upon hearing the salesperson's price, Sun Zhengguo didn't even flinch and immediately made the decision.
"Okay, comrade, we'll buy this one. Let's get the invoice!"
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, Ning Xiaowei started to take out her money, but Yu Li was stunned.
"Brother and sister-in-law, wait a moment." She took out a few tickets from her pocket and said apologetically.
"Brother and sister-in-law, the tickets Mom gave us didn't include women's bicycle tickets, only regular bicycle tickets."
Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo suddenly realized why his younger brother had recommended buying a bicycle! It turned out they didn't have the proper receipts.
"Sir, why don't you choose another one?" The salesperson, seeing that the group genuinely wanted to buy, offered a relatively calm suggestion.
"It's alright, just issue the invoice! This is the one."
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he had a thought, and instantly a receipt appeared in his hand.
Then he reached into his pocket, made a gesture, and when he took his hand out again, there was an extra women's bicycle ticket.
These were some receipts he usually kept in his space for emergencies, and he never expected them to actually come in handy today.
"Salesperson, would you like this ticket?"
The sales clerk took the ticket from Sun Zhengguo, looked at it carefully, and then nodded to indicate that there was no problem with the ticket.
Now that the tickets were fine, things became much easier, and Ning Xiaowei started paying.
After receiving the money and the receipt, the salesperson quickly issued the invoice after counting it.
Since Sun Zhengguo and his group needed to buy a lot of things, they ultimately chose to pick up their goods from the warehouse.
