Chapter 38 Making Sunscreen
Whether Zhou Xiaomei went to her internship or not didn't matter to Jiang Suining at all. Although she wouldn't kick someone when they were down, she couldn't offer Zhou Xiaomei any help either. When she learned that the couple had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing money, she just laughed it off.
After seeing off the five trainee workers, the training program continued. Jiang Suining reported to Ren Gang the comrades' desire for advancement and their wish to go out for internships. Ren Gang did not express his opinion, only saying that a meeting would be held to discuss it.
After a month of training, the workers have fully adapted to the training life. With teachers Chen Jun and Du Chunlan teaching, Jiang Suining basically doesn't have to worry about the training class. The project team hasn't assigned any task to expand recruitment, so Jiang Suining spends her days in the auditorium feeling extremely bored.
After resting for a while, Lu Ye returned to his unit to perform at sea as the entire army was about to start filming. He was busy for a few days, then said goodbye to Jiang Suining and went to sea to perform.
Jiang Suining worked routinely every day, and when she returned home to a house without Lu Ye, the routine became monotonous. She felt that life was dull and tasteless. Just as she was thinking about what to do, news came from Lü Aiguo that he had found diatomaceous earth.
Meanwhile, Lu Aiguo was so busy with the construction of the kelp farm that he had completely forgotten about Jiang Suining asking him to get diatomaceous earth. One day, he suddenly received a package from a college classmate who had been assigned to the Northeast. When he opened it, he found a box of soil.
He stared at the yellowish soil in the box for a long time, wondering why someone would send him soil out of the blue. He instinctively thought it was a prank by his classmate and casually threw it into the trash can in the corner. It wasn't until he walked out of the office that he realized what had happened. He slapped his forehead, quickly went back, retrieved the package from the trash can, and rushed to deliver it to Jiang Suining during his lunch break.
"Can you get your hands on zinc oxide?" Jiang Suining's eyes lit up the moment she saw the diatomaceous earth. "This diatomaceous earth needs purification, and the zinc oxide also needs processing," she frowned and muttered to herself, "Looks like we need a chemistry lab. Where can we find one?"
“Zinc oxide is easy to find,” Lu Aiguo didn’t dare to tell the truth. If he hadn’t forgotten what Jiang Suining had asked him to do, he could have brought the zinc oxide with him today. “It’s just that I probably can’t help you with the lab, but if you can wait, I can try to find a way to buy the equipment for the experiment.”
"Can you help me find zinc oxide? I know where to find it in the lab." Jiang Suining had already come up with a solution.
“Okay, I’ll bring it to you after get off work this afternoon,” Lü Aiguo said.
“Don’t send it to my home,” Jiang Suining pondered for a moment, “If you have time this afternoon, send it to the labor protection factory for me.”
“I probably won’t be free this afternoon,” Lü Aiguo said with a wry smile. “The construction site is too busy. I can only deliver it to the labor protection factory as soon as I get off work.”
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the labor protection factory after get off work this afternoon." After agreeing on the terms, Lü Aiguo left.
After arriving at work in the afternoon, Jiang Suining first went to the auditorium to show her face. Seeing that the workers were studying diligently as usual, she greeted Chen Jun and left the auditorium.
Jiang Suining went to the factory's technical department to find Zhou Chunlan. Zhou Chunlan went down to the workshop to inspect, so Jiang Suining had to sit in the office and wait.
Speaking of which, ever since the last time the technical department developed waterproof cloth, thanks to Jiang Suining's suggestion, Zhou Chunlan developed waterproof cloth using wax and rubber, she has been looking at Jiang Suining with new respect. Although the two do not have many opportunities to meet, Zhou Chunlan truly regards Jiang Suining as a good friend.
Therefore, Zhou Chunlan was very happy to see Jiang Suining and quickly poured her water. Jiang Suining saw that there were many people in the office and it was inconvenient to talk, so she pulled her outside.
Zhou Chunlan guessed that she had something to do, so she followed her out of the technical department.
"Haven't you been overseeing the training of workers at the seaweed farm in the auditorium all this time?" Zhou Chunlan started to chat.
“The training course is on track and there’s nothing going on,” Jiang Suining said bluntly. “I came to see you because I wanted to borrow the chemical laboratory in our factory.”
"Use the lab?" Zhou Chunlan asked, puzzled. "What are you going to do with it?"
“I plan to make sunscreen,” Jiang Suining said without hiding anything. “If it’s successful, our labor protection factory can also produce it in batches.”
"Sunscreen?" Zhou Chunlan didn't seem to understand. "What's it for?"
“It’s for applying to the face,” Jiang Suining explained. “After washing your face, you apply the oil and then apply a layer of sunscreen, which can prevent sunburn and tanning to some extent.”
"There's such a thing?" Zhou Chunlan's eyes lit up. She knew that many new recruits got sunburned during the first few months of training when they arrived on the island. If they could really produce this kind of sunscreen, it would be perfect for the new recruits.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Chunlan was a little worried. Although Jiang Suining reminded her about the waterproof cloth last time, she was not a professional researcher. She was just a high school graduate and had not even gone to university.
"You're bothering me again. This thing isn't difficult to make." Jiang Suining didn't mind Zhou Chunlan's question. "You can come with me to the lab to make it."
"Me too?" Zhou Chunlan asked incredulously. Shouldn't the formula for such a good thing be kept secret? Why would this person let her participate? Wasn't she afraid the formula would be leaked? Even a friend wouldn't be so selfless, right? No, others might not be, but Jiang Suining might not be. Wasn't it Jiang Suining who reminded her about the waterproof cloth incident last time?
“Yes,” Jiang Suining didn’t think it was that important. “We can do experiments together, which will save us more time.”
She trusts me so much, I must not let her down. Zhou Chunlan's eyes welled up with tears, and she immediately regarded Jiang Suining as a confidante. She grabbed Jiang Suining's hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you to complete the production of the sunscreen. Once the samples are ready, I will report to the leaders truthfully."
What's going on? Jiang Suining was a little uncomfortable with Zhou Chunlan's sudden enthusiasm. She tried to pull her hand away from Zhou Chunlan's grasp, but Zhou Chunlan held on too tightly, and she couldn't get it out, so she had to give up. "Then it's settled. When can we use the lab? Do we need to write reports and applications?"
“I’ll take care of this. I’ll go find the director right now. You go sit in the office and wait for me.” Zhou Chunlan said, releasing Jiang Suining and turning to go to the director’s office.
Before Jiang Suining could finish speaking, the person ran away. She reached out to grab her, but Zhou Chunlan was running too fast and she couldn't catch her.
Now that's it, Jiang Suining couldn't help but worry. Although she was a worker at the labor protection factory, she wasn't a technician, so the possibility of her getting into the laboratory was almost zero. Originally, she wanted to persuade Zhou Chunlan to take her in secretly. Mentioning reporting was just a formality. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunlan didn't follow the usual procedure and went straight to the formal channels.
She sighed. If the head of the technical department wouldn't let her into the lab, Zhou Chunlan probably wouldn't be able to sneak her in either. What could she do? Did she really have to ask Lü Aiguo to buy another set of equipment for experiments?
Jiang Suining sighed, and instead of waiting for Zhou Chunlan in the technical department office, she turned and returned to the auditorium.
Sitting listlessly in the last row of the auditorium watching Chen Jun give a lecture to the workers, Jiang Suining felt a little regretful. She should have been more direct and just asked Zhou Chunlan to take her to the laboratory. Otherwise, all this trouble would have been avoided.
She sighed, slumped onto the table, and was dozing off when she felt someone patting her shoulder. Turning around, she saw it was Zhou Chunlan.
Why is she here? Is she here to tell her the director doesn't agree? She listlessly raised her head: "Did you ask the director?"
Zhou Chunlan pulled Jiang Suining out of the auditorium: "Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the office? Why are you back?"
Jiang Suining knew inwardly that waiting would be futile, but she didn't show it on her face. Just as she was about to make an excuse that she couldn't leave the auditorium for too long, she heard Zhou Chunlan say, "Look at me, you have things to do here too, how can you keep waiting for me?"
"Something came up here, so I came back first. I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Jiang Suining simply went along with her words.
"What are you saying?" Zhou Chunlan said dismissively. "Have you finished dealing with things here?"
"Huh? It's alright, it's over." Jiang Suining was a little confused as to why Zhou Chunlan was asking her this, and stammered a perfunctory answer.
"Then come with me." Zhou Chunlan pulled her forward.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Suining grabbed the person, her smile a little unnatural, and looked back at the auditorium. "I'm still here, not off work yet."
“That’s true,” Zhou Chunlan followed her gaze to the auditorium, looking somewhat conflicted. “How about we go after get off work? I don’t mind, but when we were researching new products, I often lived in the lab. Can you work overtime?”
"Overtime?" Jiang Suining was completely confused. "What kind of overtime?"
"Didn't you want to use the lab to make sunscreen?" Zhou Chunlan was a little confused and thought she wanted to back out, so she became anxious. "I've already applied to the director. You can use the lab until the sunscreen is developed, but I must accompany you."
"Huh? What did you say?" Jiang Suining never expected that the director of the technical department would agree to let her, an outsider, enter the laboratory, let alone use it. "I can use the laboratory? How did you do that? Sister Chunlan, you're amazing! How did you convince the director?"
“At first he absolutely refused,” Zhou Chunlan said in a low voice after checking that no one was around. “I told him that the sunscreen formula was your family’s secret recipe and that it would not be shared with others, and only then did he agree to let you use it.”
"So that's how it is," Jiang Suining thought to herself, realizing that Zhou Chunlan was indeed quite shrewd.
"Wait here, I'll go get the materials," Jiang Suining said as she returned to the auditorium to retrieve the box of diatomaceous earth and went to the laboratory with Zhou Chunlan.
The chemistry lab was empty at the moment, so Zhou Chunlan found Jiang Suining a white lab coat, and the two of them put it on and went inside.
Jiang Suining placed the box containing diatomaceous earth on the lab table. Zhou Chunlan, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Jiang, what treasure is in this box?"
"It's not a treasure, just one of the ingredients for making sunscreen, diatomaceous earth," Jiang Suining explained as she opened the box and pushed it in front of Zhou Chunlan.
“Diatomaceous earth?” Zhou Chunlan had never seen it before, but seeing that the soil was yellowish in color, she couldn’t help but ask, based on her years of research experience, “This soil needs to be decolorized, right?”
“Yes, we also need to remove impurities, through acid leaching and filtration.” Jiang Suining looked at the surrounding utensils, picked up a beaker, and used paper to take out some diatomaceous earth and put it into the beaker. “Do you have distilled water?”
"Yes, I'll go get it." Zhou Chunlan took a few bottles of distilled water, opened one, and handed it to Jiang Suining.
Jiang Suining poured distilled water into a beaker, stirring as she explained, "Once the sediment has settled, we only need the suspension on top."
"I'll do it." After her explanation, Zhou Chunlan understood.
Jiang Suining pushed the beaker in front of Zhou Chunlan and slowly looked around the laboratory.
After stirring and letting it sit, Zhou Chunlan asked again, "What else do we need to make the materials? Tell me, and I'll find what we have in the lab first."
"After the suspension is separated, it needs to be leached with hydrochloric acid to remove impurities, and then filtered..." Jiang Suining told Zhou Chunlan the whole process of diatomite purification.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll do it.” Zhou Chunlan hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Besides this diatomaceous earth, do we also need Vaseline and glycerin?”
“Yes,” Jiang Suining thought for a moment and said, “Besides petroleum jelly and glycerin, we also need emulsifiers, vitamin E, and preservatives. Do the labs have all of these?”
“Yes,” Zhou Chunlan said quickly, finding the materials Jiang Suining needed. “Our labor protection factory also produces anti-chapping cream, we have all of these.”
She thought about it and felt like something was missing. She wanted to ask, but then she realized that the material Jiang Suining hadn't mentioned was probably an important ingredient in sunscreen. After all, it was someone else's secret formula, and if they didn't want to tell her, she shouldn't pry.
Although Zhou Chunlan was curious, she didn't delve into the details, but she couldn't help but ask about the addition of diatomaceous earth.
Jiang Suining didn't hide anything and explained, "Diatomaceous earth is not used for sun protection. The reason I added it is mainly because of its adsorption properties, which prevent the sunscreen from being too greasy."
Zhou Chunlan thought for a moment and understood, but then Jiang Suining continued, "Actually, it is zinc oxide that plays a role in sun protection. It can reflect ultraviolet rays and reduce damage to the skin. I don't know if our lab has zinc oxide. I asked a friend to help me find some. I'll go pick it up after get off work."
Zhou Chunlan was surprised that Jiang Suining had revealed the most important ingredient to her so soon, and quickly stated, "Don't worry, Xiao Jiang, I will definitely not reveal the ingredients of this sunscreen without your permission."
“It really can’t be revealed,” Jiang Suining said with a smile. “We can’t let other manufacturers know our formula. I dare say this sunscreen will definitely bring our factory a lot of profit. We can even try to earn foreign exchange abroad.”
Zhou Chunlan listened in a daze, thinking to herself that this was a good thing and must not be leaked.
The two chatted while waiting for the diatomaceous earth to settle. Just before they were about to leave work, the sedimentation was finally complete. Zhou Chunlan purified the diatomaceous earth in the laboratory, while Jiang Suining went to the factory gate to wait for Lü Aiguo.
Lu Aiguo was already waiting at the factory gate. When he saw Jiang Suining, he quickly took out a glass bottle from his bag and plugged the bottle mouth with a frosted glass stopper.
"Do you still have diatomaceous earth?" Jiang Suining asked. "Buy some more for me."
"Why do you need so much?" Lu Aiguo couldn't understand. "It's getting cold, do you really need to apply sunscreen?"
"Don't you know that you need to apply sunscreen all year round?" Jiang Suining glared at him.
“Even if you need to apply it all year round,” Lu Aiguo looked at Jiang Suining’s small face, “I’ve given you enough materials. How much are you going to make?”
“Of course it’s mass production, didn’t I tell you that?” Jiang Suining said.
“The individual economy isn’t open up yet, how can you mass-produce?” Lü Aiguo was at a loss for words. “How will you produce so much? Even if you do, how will you sell it? Do you want to be arrested as a speculator?”
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Jiang Suining was utterly speechless. "Who said I was going to produce? I meant the factory would produce, the labor protection factory, understand?"
"What? Didn't you want to use this sunscreen to get rich?" Lu Aiguo's heart sank when he heard this.
“What’s your rush? There are plenty of ways for us to get rich in the future,” Jiang Suining said with disdain, looking at Lü Aiguo. “Don’t be so stingy. I need to let everyone gradually know and accept my research capabilities. I can’t be treated like a monster. Don’t forget, I only have a high school diploma.”
"Sister, my senior, why don't you take the college entrance exam? You don't have many years left." Lu Aiguo felt exhausted.
“I can consider it, but if my abilities are recognized by everyone before the college entrance examination is reinstated, then there is no need for me to take the exam. Let’s leave the opportunity to those who need it more.”
"You're like Versailles, aren't you?" Lü Aiguo scoffed. "I'm going back. There's still a ton of stuff to do at the construction site."
After watching Lü Aiguo leave, Jiang Suining didn't even bother to eat before quickly returning to the laboratory.
In the laboratory, Zhou Chunlan was still acid-leaching diatomaceous earth to remove impurities. Jiang Suining weighed a small amount of zinc oxide based on memory, added a small amount of glycerin, and ground it finely until it became a smooth paste, ensuring there were no grains, before checking on Zhou Chunlan's situation.
Zhou Chunlan had already started drying the processed diatomaceous earth. Jiang Suining looked at the dryer and asked, "Can it be timed?"
"Okay." Zhou Chunlan closed the dryer door and set the time.
“Let’s go back,” Jiang Suining said, tidying up the workbench. “We’ll come back tomorrow morning to continue.”
"Alright." Drying takes four hours, so once the time is set, there's really no need to wait here.
The two locked the laboratory door and left the labor protection factory.
It was getting late, and there was no food left in the cafeteria at this hour. Zhou Chunlan invited Jiang Suining to her home for dinner. Jiang Suining thought that she would have to cook at home, so she agreed.
Zhou Chunlan's home is not far from the labor protection factory. Her husband is a purchasing agent in the factory's purchasing department. He is away on a business trip these days. There are two boys in the family. The eldest son is named Wang Hai, who has graduated from high school and is looking for a job. The younger son is named Wang Jiang, who is only in the second year of junior high school.
When the two arrived home, the food was already on the table. Their younger son, Wang Jiang, was doing his homework at his desk, while their older son, Wang Hai, was not home.
Zhou Chunlan first introduced her youngest son to Jiang Suining before asking where her eldest son had gone.
Wang Jiang hesitated, then Zhou Chunlan said anxiously, "Tell me quickly, where did your brother go?"
“He went to the tailor’s house next door,” Wang Jiang said. Seeing Zhou Chunlan’s face darken, he quickly explained for his brother, “It wasn’t my brother who went there on his own initiative. It was tailor Wang who came to find him and said he had something to ask my brother to come over.”
Jiang Suining immediately noticed the discord between Zhou Chunlan and the tailor next door, and thought to herself that she should have known better than to come over for a free meal.
"Xiao Jiang, please sit down first. I'll go next door and call the boss back." Zhou Chunlan controlled her emotions, asked Wang Jiang to pour water for Jiang Suining, and hurriedly went out the door.
Wang Jiang handed a glass of water to Jiang Suining: "Auntie, are you my mother's colleague?"
"Yes." Jiang Suining took the water glass. "What grade are you in?"
"Auntie, my mom is bringing my brother back in a bit. Could you please not let my mom hit my brother?" Wang Jiang did not answer Jiang Suining's question.
"How could your mother hit your brother?" Jiang Suining felt a headache coming on and wished she could leave right now. She didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs.
“Yes, yes,” Wang Jiang said anxiously. “Mom doesn’t let my brother go to Uncle Zhong’s house, but my brother likes to make clothes. Every time Mom finds out that my brother went next door, she beats him.”
"Does your brother like making clothes?" Jiang Suining wondered if Zhou Chunlan had a conflict with the Zhong family next door, which was why she didn't want her son to go there.
“Yes, my brother also likes to draw clothes.” Wang Jiang said as he rushed into the bedroom, quickly brought out some drawings, and handed them to Jiang Suining. “These are all drawn by my brother, Auntie. Take a look, I have to hide them so that Mom can’t find them.”
Jiang Suining flipped through the pictures one by one. They were all patterns of various clothes. The color schemes were stunning, and the styles were avant-garde. Although the proportions of the figures were a bit distorted, they were already very good for someone who had never studied fashion design. It seemed that Zhou Chunlan's eldest son had a real talent for fashion design.
After Wang Jiang took the drawing back to his bedroom and hid it, he came over and asked Jiang Suining, "Auntie, is my brother's drawing very good? Zhong the tailor said my brother's drawing is excellent. Zhong the tailor likes my brother very much and wants my brother to learn to make clothes from him, but my mother doesn't agree."
"Why?" Jiang Suining asked, puzzled.
Wang Jiang shook his head: "I don't know."
"Wang Hai, if you dare go next door again, I will disown you as my son." Zhou Chunlan's angry voice pierced through the room.
Jiang Suining jumped up and saw Zhou Chunlan pushing a very tall boy in.
The boy rushed into the bedroom and slammed the door shut behind him.
Zhou Chunlan wanted to get angry, but when she saw Jiang Suining, she felt embarrassed. She suppressed her anger and forced a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, you must have seen this. Come on, let's eat first."
Jiang Suining was also extremely embarrassed, but she pretended not to see it and obediently sat down at the dining table. Zhou Chunmei was serving rice when Wang Jiang walked over and tugged at Jiang Suining's sleeve under the table.
Jiang Suining felt overwhelmed. What was all this about? How was she supposed to advise her?
Zhou Chunlan, with her sharp eyes, noticed Wang Jiang's actions and wanted to get angry, but because of Jiang Suining, she didn't. She just said to Wang Jiang, "Go sit in your seat and hurry up and eat your meal and do your homework."
Wang Jiang didn't dare to cause any trouble and obediently sat back down.
The meal was an ordeal. Wang Jiang kept glancing at her with pitiful eyes, and Jiang Suining could only lower her head and eat her rice, pretending not to notice. Wang Jiang probably saw that Jiang Suining was unwilling to help, so he put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Chunlan: "Mom, I'll take the food to my brother."
"You're not allowed to go!" Zhou Chunlan blurted out. After saying that, she glanced at Jiang Suining embarrassedly and said with a forced smile, "Look at the mess this has made. That child is too disobedient."
“Children grow up and have their own ideas,” Jiang Suining thought for a moment and then offered a few words of advice. “As parents, we can’t suppress our children all the time. They’re of working age now, and they can make their own decisions about some things.”
Zhou Chunlan didn't say anything, and silently ate her meal with her head down.
Jiang Suining's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she thought to herself: I knew I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business.
She dared not say another word, quickly ate her meal, and thought she should finish eating as soon as possible and leave.
As Zhou Chunlan spoke, her voice choked up, but Jiang Suining immediately understood why she forbade her son from learning tailoring.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Suining felt she couldn't eat anymore.
Zhou Chunlan quickly wiped away her tears: "To protect us, my mother divorced him. After learning of his death, she passed away a few months later. I was really scared."
“I understand,” Jiang Suining sighed deeply. Times are changing, and in a few years, the individual economy will be restored. Zhou Chunlan’s son does have a certain talent in clothing design. If he pursues further studies in this direction, he will have a bright future. “Some things are better explained to children. They can understand. Being forceful will only cause a more violent backlash.”
Zhou Chunmei kept wiping away tears. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She had conflicting feelings about her father. She felt guilty for abandoning him in his time of need, and she also felt ashamed. The scene of her father being paraded through the streets was still vivid in her mind. That humiliation weighed on her every time she thought of it, making her unable to lift her head. She didn't want to, and she found it difficult to, tell her child.
Jiang Suining could vaguely sense Zhou Chunmei's concerns and advised, "There are some things you don't need to worry about. If you're not worried, I can go and talk to the child."
Zhou Chunmei remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Jiang Suining walked to the bedroom door and gently knocked, but there was no response. "Wang Hai, may I come in?" There was still no response.
Wang Jiang rushed over and opened the bedroom door: "Auntie, come in quickly, let my brother come out for dinner."
Jiang Suining hesitated for a moment before slowly walking in. The bedroom was very tidy. There was a bunk bed against the wall, with the blanket on the lower bunk bulging out. Wang Hai was completely wrapped in the blanket, with not even his head showing.
“Wang Hai, hello,” Jiang Suining knew he could hear her and didn’t care whether he answered or not. “I’m Jiang Suining, your mother’s colleague.”
“I’m not here to be your mother’s mouthpiece. I just want to tell you something,” Jiang Suining pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed. “You have ideals, which is great, but there are many ways to achieve them.”
“You have now graduated from high school, but I hope you will not put down your high school textbooks and continue to study. In the future, perhaps the college entrance examination will be opened up. You like fashion design, so you can study fashion design. You can not only learn the skills of tailoring and making clothes, but also learn design.”
As soon as Jiang Suining finished speaking, Wang Hai flipped the cup over: "Really?"
“Of course,” Jiang Suining nodded affirmatively. “For our country to develop, we need more highly educated talents. University education is indispensable. Just wait and see, in a few years, you will have the opportunity to realize your dreams.”
The initial excitement quickly faded, and Wang Hai soon became dejected: "You don't need to comfort me. If she won't let me learn tailoring, then I won't learn it."
“I think you should have a good talk with your mother about this, a calm and rational talk,” Jiang Suining advised. “You only know that your mother won’t let you study, but have you asked her why?”
“Of course I asked,” Wang Hai said with a wry smile, “but she wouldn’t tell me.”
"Have you thought about why she won't tell me?" Jiang Suining guided him. "What is the reason that makes her unwilling to tell me? Every mother wants to give her child the best and hopes to fulfill their child's wishes. As a mother, what is the reason that would make her repeatedly stop her child from doing what he wants to do? Think about it carefully."
Wang Hai fell into deep thought, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Seeing this, Jiang Suining stood up: "Think it through and have a good talk with your mother."
