Chapter 148 Getting Ready to Set Off Again
Jiang Cheng and Shen Que left night school together.
The night wind was very strong, so the two of them didn't waste any time outside and hurried back.
After returning home, Grandma Shen gave each of them a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold.
After Jiang Cheng drank it while pinching his nose, he saw the wool that Grandma Shen had placed on the table.
"Grandma Shen, where did you get so much wool?"
Originally, Jiang Cheng was thinking of asking her to get some wool and knit sweaters and trousers for everyone.
"Chen Que brought it back and said he wanted to knit sweaters for everyone in the family."
Grandma Shen said, pointing to a ball of pink yarn, “This color is for you.”
Family? For her?
Jiang Cheng concealed the smile on his face and sent a look to Grandma Shen.
Jiang Cheng: Could you be a little more subtle?
Grandma Shen: No!
The two smiled at each other, and Jiang Cheng turned to look at Shen Que.
“I like this color.”
"Yeah, you look good in any color."
Shen Que's sudden compliment made Jiang Cheng smile even wider, and he said affirmatively: "I think so too."
"Sister, you look beautiful no matter what!"
The little flatterer Shen Yue is here.
The whole family was laughing happily.
Grandma Shen was in charge of cooking for dinner, and the food in the Shen family was definitely good.
But the other families in the compound didn't say anything when they knew about it.
Shen Que is the factory director, it’s not normal for him to eat some meat!
After dinner, Jiang Cheng went back next door to write a letter.
The first letter was to Mr. Xu, in which he wrote in the tone of a most outstanding junior, describing in a very high-profile manner the work he had completed in recent times.
The second one was written to Uncle Zhong, and its meaning was similar to that of Mr. Xu.
The third one was written to Leader Leng, focusing on her recent projects and asking if a translator was needed at the next external trade fair.
Write three letters and put stamps on them.
Jiang Cheng looked at the stamp on the envelope and thought of the valuable stamps in later generations.
If you get the chance, buy some. If you don’t, forget it.
Precious stamps are valuable because so few were issued.
If it could be bought at will, it would not be valuable.
After writing the letter and packing the things to be mailed, Jiang Cheng took out the books and continued studying.
At half past ten in the evening, Shen Que brought a bowl of millet porridge.
After Jiang Cheng took it, he didn't let Shen Que in.
It's a bit cold to eat with the door open now, but it's not okay to keep the door open because they are not yet husband and wife.
Shen Que also thought of this, and simply said first:
"Close the door, I'm going back."
"good."
Shen Que waited for Jiang Cheng to close the door before returning to the next room.
The next day, after having breakfast together, Shen Xingchenyue went to school in the wind.
Jiang Cheng was the last one to go out. He took the letter and several packages and went to the post office in the strong north wind.
After paying the postage and sending the items, Jiang Cheng went straight back to the slum.
That day, Jiang Cheng was reading a book while holding the infusion bottle.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Que came back with two people.
Jiang Cheng, who heard the noise, came out in a hurry. When Shen Que saw it, he took off his clothes and put them on her.
Jiang Cheng: Actually...I'll go back to the house and get something more convenient.
However, Jiang Cheng not only didn't say anything, but also tugged at her clothes with her hands, giving Shen Que the feeling that she really needed it.
When Shen Que saw it from the corner of his eye, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Sure enough, men are the most handsome when they are needed.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the two people who were measuring the size in the house.
"Let's prepare to build a heated kang, so that the house will be much warmer in winter than just burning a stove." What Shen Que didn't say was that he found that Jiang Cheng seemed to be very afraid of the cold.
Jiang Cheng didn't know what Shen Que was thinking, but he was very excited about the kang he mentioned.
This time in the village, Jiang Cheng slept on a heated kang for more than ten days and it was very comfortable.
Jiang Cheng looked at it curiously for a while, then took the two masters to the next door to measure the size and choose a location.
All that was left was to prepare the ingredients, so Jiang Cheng didn't need to worry about it, Shen Que could do it all by himself.
Shen Que was busy running around and seeing the two masters off.
As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Cheng fed him a cup of warm water.
"Warm yourself up quickly."
The three words "I'm not cold" were on the tip of his tongue, but Shen Yue's coquettish look flashed through his mind, and his brain short-circuited again and said, "My hands are cold."
"ah?"
! .
Jiang Cheng directly covered Chen Que's hand with his own. Although he couldn't cover it, the warm heat rushed to Chen Que's face.
The steam in the cup obscured his red face.
Jiang Cheng caught a glimpse of it and laughed inwardly.
Have you learned to act like a spoiled child?
It’s okay, she will just spoil you.
There was a bit of ambiguity between the two of them, but it was broken by Shen Xing and Shen Yue who came back the next second.
"Sister—We are back!"
"Sister Jiang Cheng, we are back!"
Shen Xing and Shen Yue rushed in, Jiang Cheng let go of Shen Que's hand, and turned around to pour hot water for the two children to warm them up.
Shen Que: I have too many brothers and sisters.
Soon, Grandma Shen came back to cook.
We had dumpling soup in the evening and felt warm after finishing it.
After eating, Jiang Cheng called Chen Que.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Que anxiously shook his hands that were washing dishes.
"I have something important to discuss with Director Shen."
Shen Que said "oh" and handed the task of washing dishes to Shen Xing. He sat down with Jiang Cheng and prepared to talk.
Shen Xing: I always feel like you two are trying to trick me into washing the dishes?
The two people who sat down looked at each other knowingly and smiled.
"I really have something to talk to you about."
"I know. Isn't that why we sat down?"
Shen Que's words were more serious, and Jiang Cheng even felt as if the knowing smile between them just now was an illusion.
"Director Shen, during the half month I was in the countryside, in addition to the greenhouse, I also discovered a business opportunity related to the machinery factory."
Hearing Jiang Cheng calling Director Shen, Shen Que became a little more serious, stood up and came over with a pen and paper, motioning Jiang Cheng to continue.
"At present, all farming work is done by manpower, and there are a few oxen plowing, but they are negligible."
"There are already large-scale planting machines abroad. I know that China does not have the technology, but I wonder if we can develop some small machines on our own."
"You have the mechanical skills and basic technology. Small machines are not difficult to make. We just need to improve the efficiency of manpower in sowing and save some effort."
“For example, a seed drill.”
"This picture shows a small seeding machine made of wood by the villagers themselves. I think we can just expand on this basis."
Shen Que looked at the schematic diagram drawn by Jiang Cheng.
There is a square box on top and a stick under the box.
Very simple.
Jiang Cheng waited for a while and continued, "The seed drill is just one type. There are also machines for turning ridges, harvesting, and even small machines for processing grain, such as corn threshing..."
"Our country is in greater need of such small machines to make the transition. In addition, many small countries in the southeast have complex terrains and cannot carry out large-scale sowing. Small machines are also a way to earn foreign exchange."
The more Shen Que listened, the more seriously he listened, and the more excited he became.
He was so excited that he stood up and held Jiang Cheng's hand.
"Jiang Cheng, your idea is very, very good!"
Jiang Cheng blinked and looked down at his hand that was wrapped in Shen Que's big hand.
Do you want to praise me or hold my hand?
