Chapter 215: On the day of the training at the technical school, someone shamelessly lied to her...
Chapter 215 Training School
The Yan family has strong genes, and the children all look more like their father.
When Zhuangzhuang left home in his teens, he still looked like a big kid. In the past few years, he seemed to have grown up and reached 1.8 meters tall. Although his face still has some childishness, at first glance he looks 70% like his father.
"Mom, don't worry about this. My dad is here to compare with you. Your daughter won't look down on those A's and B's." The son's voice was clean and clear, with a little teasing smile.
Like many mothers, Chen Yin couldn't help but nag: "It's the same for you. If you want to find a partner, come back and find one. You have to be able to resist the temptations outside."
Zhuangzhuang smiled. "Mom, we've been lucky enough to be born in this era. We've seen all sorts of good things since we were little. So why would we be tempted by the prosperity outside? Don't worry, you and my dad."
When he was a few years old, he envied other children for having toy cars. As a result, his father opened a car factory to make drivable toy cars specifically for him. The kind that people all over the world lined up with money to place orders for.
Shout all over the world, who has a child who dotes on him like this!
Prosperity is built by money, but insight requires not only money but also power to cultivate.
These are not lacking in my family now.
After giving her instructions on ideology and morality, Chen Yin naturally turned her attention to the children's health.
"Are you still hungry tonight? When you have nothing to do, remember to make some wontons and dumplings and freeze them. If you get hungry in the middle of the night, cook a bowl."
"It's a period of growth, don't think it's troublesome."
Zhuangzhuang smiled and replied, "Okay."
Even though their family conditions are good, none of the children are incapable of doing housework.
Since I was little, I was told by adults to run errands, such as getting dishes, clearing the table, washing dishes, sweeping the floor, peeling potatoes, picking beans... I was very good at everything.
For example, when I was at home, I only knew how to wrap and roll the dough for dumplings and wontons. Before I went abroad, my mom and grandma gave me a crash course in how to make them. Now, unless I'm too tired to move, I never go hungry.
The mother and daughter chatted on the international long-distance call for more than 20 minutes, and then Xiaohu took over the call and was also given a lot of instructions by his parents.
It is euphemistically called: We cannot favor one over the other.
Sure enough, children are the best spiritual medicine for their mothers.
Ever since Jingjing mentioned that several male classmates wrote love letters to her, Chen Yin's spirits have returned, even better than before.
In order to facilitate surprise inspections, the three siblings were specially approved to buy a Nokia 1011 mobile phone.
About one thousand US dollars, equivalent to five or six thousand RMB.
You know, even their fathers are still using the big brick mobile phones they bought a few years ago.

Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin were both relatively early in their generation to get married and have children.
Although the number of five children is not inferior to that of the previous generation who had seven, eight or ten children, it is definitely not inferior.
Besides, the quality of life was poor in the past, it was not easy to raise children, and we had to rely on numbers to win.
Now our life is stable and things are getting better day by day, and our children are starting to win with quality.
In addition, condoms are being promoted and made available free of charge across the country. Now, whether in rural or urban areas, having three or five children in a family is considered a lot.
I remember a report where a reporter interviewed a young couple who set up a stall. When asked how many children they had, the young wife said two would be enough.
The reason is that she has to keep her hands on the children from pregnancy to childbirth and then to the next few years, and having too many children will affect her income speed!
This report also caused heated discussion for a while.
However, it is not too early for Chen Yin and Yan Jiuru to worry about their children's dating. After all, they had already secretly started working together when Zhuangzhuang and his sister were the same age.
Chen Yin still remembers that the first time they kissed was on a night with a sky full of stars and the sound of frogs croaking on the roadside.
Because the high school is far from the team, I have to live on campus.
They were the only two people in their group who went to high school, and they walked home together.
That day, someone shamelessly lied to her and said there was something on her face... Pah!
Yan Jiuru still smiled smugly.
What's the point of having a face as a man? Who doesn't get married first by being thick-skinned?
***
The next day, Yan Jiuru went to work with a happy face.
After the morning meeting, Director Cheng, who had recently begun to show signs of a Mediterranean appearance, rubbed his head and muttered to the people around him, "Sure enough, he's still young. The Minister is five or six years younger than me, which is ten years younger if you round it up. Almost a generation apart..."
People around me: How many roundings are you doing? Five or six years younger can be expanded to twelve years younger? Is it so hard to admit that you look older?
But I have to say that the department has been very busy recently.
Some people were assigned to assist in the preliminary preparations for the re-entry negotiations. The task of studying the terms was very brain-burning, and the documents alone piled up in several rooms, especially since they were all paper documents in the past.
Not only Director Cheng, but also Secretary Shen and Secretary Li, who were serving as translators for Yan Jiuru, were losing their hair in clumps.
Another group of people were assigned to various places to conduct market-oriented economic research.
Since the past two years, there have been calls within Xuanguo to deepen reforms and transform the current planned economy into a fully market-oriented economy.
On the one hand, rejoining the WTO requires marketization. On the other hand, Yan Jiuru personally believes that some people hiding behind the scenes want to manipulate capital to gain greater benefits, and marketization can bring great convenience to these people.
Of course, he had no evidence, only guesses based on his own observations.
From a personal point of view, a comprehensive market will only be more beneficial to Yan Jiuru's factories, but it will come at the cost of hundreds of thousands or even millions of workers being laid off. After all, Yan Jiuru grew up in the village with a good family background, so he is not that evil.
His evil will only be directed at hostile forces and enemies.
However, as the Minister of Commerce, he would not sit and wait for official documents from above. Once he sensed the trend, he sent people to various parts of the country to conduct research in advance, and they would not be back for more than three months.
As for the work in the department, if we squeeze in some time, spend less time chatting, and drink tea and read newspapers, we can always complete the work on time.
In addition to sending people to conduct research, Yan Jiuru himself had also been thinking about the current industrial situation in Xuan Country.
As for foreign exchange reserves, since Xuan State mobilized the 107 special forces, whether it is resources found by itself or obtained from outside, in general, Xuan State is not short of gold and US dollar reserves, and may even be much stronger than the former Big Brother country that just disintegrated.
However, as a great country with a burgeoning economy, a construction boom is now sweeping across the country. You build railways, he builds overpasses, you build airports, he builds tunnels, and some places build hydropower stations, nuclear power plants, and so on.
All of these infrastructure construction cannot rely solely on manpower. All kinds of engineering machinery and equipment must be used to fight against the sky and the earth with bare hands. First of all, excavators, bulldozers, loaders, forklifts, as well as rollers, cranes and so on.
At present, most of these devices are imported.
***
Yan Jiuru picked up a report that had just been faxed over.
In the past one or two years alone, we imported more than 10,000 hydraulic excavators, more than 6,000 bulldozers with more than 100 horsepower, more than 4,000 loaders, more than 2,000 forklifts, and nearly 1,000 other types of rollers, graders, and scrapers.
The smallest tonnage of these imported equipment costs at least 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars, and large-tonnage ones cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of millions of US dollars each. Who can blame us for the urgent need for them and the inability to produce them ourselves?
These are the import quantities before the large-scale infrastructure construction. If this development trend continues, the demand for construction machinery will probably increase tenfold in the future. No matter how much foreign exchange we have, we cannot spend it like this.
Yan Jiuru tapped the desk lightly with his fingertips while thinking, he had to be able to make high-quality products himself.
According to his understanding, there are indeed several machinery factories in the country that copied some types of engineering machinery from the big brother, but they knew the results but not the reasons. There has been no development in recent years and they are still using the same old methods, which can no longer be compared with the current new technologies.
Yan Jiuru turned his gaze to the Northeast region on the national industrial and commercial map on the opposite wall.
This is a heavy industrial area known as the eldest son of the Republic.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the guidance of national planning, we have been supplying blood to our fellow provinces and cities across the country, providing coal, electricity, and timber, whatever they need.
Later, although Institute 107, including him, discovered more than a dozen large resource deposits, things were not quite as planned.
Since the beginning of this year, market-oriented economic pilot projects following reform and opening up have been rolled out in many places, with the Northeast being the first to be impacted.
Because they have been accustomed to being exploited for so many years, and the resources that originally belonged to the Northeast have been "planned" to others, and they have not thought much about it since the state still pays them wages and benefits. Now the state suddenly ignores them and forces them to fend for themselves, and now they can't do anything about the Northeast.
They've spent all our family fortune and now they say they're giving us freedom. Bullshit!
Yan Jiuru feels that the Ministry of Commerce has the responsibility and obligation to resolve this problem.
You can’t make people sad if you’ve already lost money.
Fortunately, he believed that the Northeast region was not without opportunities. After all, it had a heavy industry foundation, and it was not impossible to develop engineering machinery and supporting industries.
He himself studied engineering vehicle design, and when he visited abroad, he paid special attention to the foreign engineering machinery industry.
He knew that a key product could revitalize an industry, or even an entire industrial chain.
In fact, no factory produces these products completely by itself. For example, excavators and forklifts are generally designed and produced by the main manufacturers themselves. Other parts such as engines are purchased from other engine factories, tires are purchased from tire factories, transmission bearings are also purchased from outside, and masts, buckets and fork attachments are purchased from the factory that manufactures the attachments. There are also hydraulic pipelines, valves and seals, etc. Even headlights and overhead guards, steering wheels, gear levers, etc. are all produced by different manufacturers.
It can be said that to manufacture a qualified excavator or forklift, there must be upstream and downstream supporting factories, which is equivalent to an industrial chain.
There is not just one factory in this industry chain, but several or even more. Only those with high quality, low price and good service can win.
"Each machine has a corresponding worker who can conduct meetings and operate it. If there are dozens of machines, there will be an after-sales service team..."
You need someone to teach you how to operate something, and you need a place to learn how to repair something. Many jobs can be found here and there.
Yan Jiuru quickly listed all the industries and positions that might be needed on a piece of official paper, and even thought of establishing several specialized technical training schools.
