Chapter 220 Buying a Machine



"Mom, you have a good rest. I will wash myself, read a book for a while, and then go to bed."

Before Ning He could say anything, Qianlin turned off the lights and considerately closed the door.

Today is a holiday, so you don't have to go to night school.

Ning He lay comfortably on the bed, the smile on the corner of his lips did not fade away for a long time.

Great, another happy and contented day.

He Shaochuan had been busy outside for a long time. Ning He was tired after a whole day and had closed her eyes in a daze.

In her sleep, she felt a force tapping her shoulders and a pair of strong hands gently squeezing her limbs.

Ning He's tense body suddenly relaxed at this moment.

I opened my eyes drowsily and saw a tall figure sitting in front of me.

The man lowered his eyebrows and gave her a massage seriously.

"Are you done with the cleaning?" She had just woken up and her voice was still hoarse.

He Shaochuan raised his eyes to look at her: "Well, were you woken up by me?"

Ning He shook his head: "How long have I slept? I haven't even washed up yet."

"The hot water is ready. I'll massage you again. You can go wash when the water is warmer."

Since he said so, Ning He had no choice but to lie down on the edge of the bed and enjoy his massage comfortably.

After taking a nap, she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

With his chin resting on his arm, he chatted with He Shaochuan in a casual manner.

"By the way, I rented the store today and plan to start decorating it tomorrow."

He Shaochuan didn't stop massaging and asked her, "Do you need my help?"

Ning He shook his head: "It's just a simple renovation. It's more than enough to hire two workers."

"Yeah," He Shaochuan responded lightly, then he stood up and walked to the cabinet.

Open the cabinet and take something out of the top box.

He walked to Ning He and handed the thing in his hand to Ning He.

"Here is a thousand dollars. Use it to pay the rent and renovation costs."

Ning He looked at the thick stack of banknotes in front of him and asked in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"

He Shaochuan touched his nose and explained, "When one of my soldiers wanted to get married, the woman asked for a 1,000 yuan dowry. He had only been in the army for a few years, and his savings couldn't even come up with 100 yuan."

Ning He nodded: "So you took out your savings and lent it to him?"

He Shaochuan nodded: "In the past few years, he has performed outstandingly in the army, received a lot of bonuses, and was promoted for his meritorious service. His monthly salary plus subsidies are quite a lot, and he has gradually paid back the one thousand yuan."

Ning He didn't ask any more questions and accepted the money.

After He Shaochuan finished massaging her, she took her clothes and went to take a shower.

After coming back, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Every time in the late night, she was woken up by the heat.

The weather wasn't too hot, but He Shaochuan liked to hold her in his arms to sleep every night.

She slept in a sticky and sweaty state.

The next day, Ning He took Qianlin to the cafeteria for breakfast, and after breakfast he sent Qianlin to the nursery.

Then Ninghe started to get busy with the decoration work.

The workers were busy and she watched from the side. When there was something going on, she would hand them a hammer or some tools. When she had nothing to do, she would sit aside and read a book.

During the day, Ning He was responsible for supervising the reading, and at night he went to night school.

In this way, the days passed peacefully and fulfillingly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month and their shop was finally completed.

Not only that, but even my hometown brought good news.

The construction of the factory has been preliminarily completed, and the machines and raw materials can be introduced next.

Ning He became even busier. Ning Chen received a letter from her, and the envelope contained a thick stack of money. There were no extra words, just one sentence asking her to take the money and buy a machine.

Ning He accepted it. She said that this money was just a loan and she would pay Ning Chen back with interest later.

She took the money to the department store, asked about the manufacturer of the machine, and planned to buy the machine from the factory.

When she came back at noon, she told He Shaochuan that she wanted to buy a machine and asked He Shaochuan to help her borrow a bicycle as she would go to the factory in the afternoon.

He Shaochuan lent a bicycle to Ning He without saying a word.

"Get in, I'll take you there." He didn't get out of the car, but asked Ning He to get in.

Ning He was surprised: "Aren't you going to the army this afternoon?"

"There's nothing to do inside, so I'm asking for leave." He Shaochuan replied.

When He Shaochuan knew that Ning He was going to buy a machine in the afternoon, he asked for leave in advance.

"I can do it alone. I'll just go over and take a look. I'll book it if it's suitable."

He Shaochuan looked at her and said in a tone that would not brook refusal: "I am worried about you going alone, and this place is very far from the factory you mentioned. You have thin arms and legs, how long will it take you to get there?"

Ning He was unable to refute what he said.

Well, she still thinks the car is tiring, so let her do it.

Ning He got into the car and put her arms around He Shaochuan's waist.

He Shaochuan was right, the factory was indeed quite far away. It took He Shaochuan nearly an hour to finally reach the factory gate.

After parking the car, he and Ning He walked towards the guard post. After explaining the situation, a person in charge soon came down and led them inside.

"As long as we have the blueprint, we can produce any kind of machine," said the person in charge.

Ning He had drawn the blueprint early in the morning.

To build a garment factory, you need a lot of equipment and machines.

In modern times, a garment factory must have at least two types of machines. The total number of machines used is very large, which requires a considerable investment.

For example, there are: sewing machines, buttonhole machines, button sewing machines, elastic band machines, cutting machines, cloth pulling machines, cloth inspection machines, etc.

Due to his limited abilities, Ning He could only draw the machines he had used.

When she took out the blueprint, everyone present was stunned. The person in charge looked at Ning He in disbelief and asked.

“Are these all machines that you came up with?”

Ning He could only nod and say, "I make clothes, so I can only draw the machine based on my feelings. For some details, I need the help of professionals like you."

"Your drawing is very detailed. We don't need to check it. Just follow your drawing. It will be fine."

They just marveled at the wisdom of the person who designed the machine.

Ninghe selected several necessary machines and asked the factory to help produce them.

She plans to produce five of each machine first. After all, the workers won’t know how to use them at first and need to slowly adapt to them.

Once she becomes proficient, she will buy some other machines.

The deposit for each machine was 100 yuan. Ning He took out all the 1,000 yuan that He Shaochuan gave her last night and used it to pay the deposit.

Ten machines were ordered at once and delivered one month later.

The problem was solved, and on the way back, Ning He's face was filled with indescribable happiness.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, a big problem has been solved. Once the machine is in hand, the clothes can be mass-produced."

"With our people's economic capabilities, do you think everyone can afford such good clothes?" He Shaochuan asked.

The reason he asked this was because he knew Ning He was from the future.

When the economy is good in the future, everyone will have enough food and clothing, and will have extra money to pursue higher things.

But their lives were not so easy in that era.
