"This space is the maximum production capacity we can handle right now. If we add any more people, we'll run out of space. So, at most, we can only produce about 300 per month."
His courtyard was only this big, with the east and west wing rooms and the front porch already quite crowded with thirty people working inside, so of course no one else could fit.
"No rush, let's just make do for now. Once the front yard is ready next spring, there will be space available, and hiring a hundred or two people won't be a problem."
"Brother! Are you coming back for a few days?"
“I came back to take care of some things, and now I’ve finished them all. I’ll stay home for one more day tomorrow, and then I’ll go back to Lianwan the day after tomorrow. I’m afraid I won’t be back until the New Year. I’m counting on you to take care of things at home.”
Liang Feng didn't say anything, but he knew that was the case.
Liang Liang sighed. Putting such a huge burden on his younger brother, who was only fifteen years old, was indeed a bit too much.
It's even more absurd than fantasy novels.
"Dinner's ready!" The mother, who had been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, poked her head out and called out.
Liang Liang and his brother didn't react to their mother's shout, but someone else called in from outside the door.
Xu Mei ran in as freely as the wind.
"Aunt Liang! What delicious food are you making? Wow! There's so much!"
"It's better to be lucky than early, eat at my house!"
Xu Mei often ate at Liang Liang's house, and Liang Qiuqiu also often ate at Xu Mei's house; neither of them felt like strangers.
"If I had known your family cooked so much delicious food, I would have eaten less at home. I really can't eat anymore!" Xu Mei said with a frustrated look, which made Liang Liang's mother laugh.
"Why aren't you eating?" Liang Liang teased Xu Mei on purpose.
Xu Mei pouted at Liang Liang.
"Is everything alright at home? Has your mom said you've gotten darker and thinner?"
"You're the one who's gotten darker! My mom says I've become prettier!"
"You're so vain! I don't see any signs of you getting prettier. Has your brother come back yet? Xu Hebin is now a senior bartender at the Oriental Dance Hall and Oriental Hotel, and his monthly salary has risen to nine hundred yuan."
Earning over 10,000 yuan a year was an enviable income figure in 1994.
"He hasn't come back! My mom said he hasn't been back for over a month."
“Your brother must have found you a sister-in-law, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed away from home for so long.”
It's 35 li from Yahe to Liangshuiwan, why hasn't this guy come back for so long?
Which girl is most likely to be the most suitable for a passionate affair?
"Aren't you going out after you finish eating?" Xu Mei followed Liang Liang, who had put down his chopsticks, into Liang Liang's room.
"I need to write two songs for the Yinna River Band. I'll go out after I finish writing them."
Liang Liang took out paper and pen and began to write down the sheet music.
Today he will be recording the scores for "Big Cotton-padded Jacket and Two Cotton-padded Trousers" and "Looking Towards My Hometown".
The name "Big Cotton-padded Jacket and Two Cotton-padded Trousers" was too old-fashioned, so Liang Liang changed it to "Labor Protection".
This song was not actually released as a single; it only appeared in a skit broadcast at the 1997 Spring Festival Gala, and it was a group song.
Since Xu Mei left, the Yinna River Band is now down to just four people, which simply doesn't give them the power and energy of a chorus.
Liang Liang had to change it into a duet, and some of the lyrics also needed to be modified.
Actually, there weren't many changes. The original lyrics included the line "Hot and spicy teacher Fan, please criticize me more," which Liang Liang changed to "Hot and spicy youth dances out a rainbow."
As for the line in the original song, "The next group includes the hot me, excuse me, Teacher Fan, I have to go to get my hair and makeup done," Liang Liang deleted it.
"A thick cotton-padded coat and two cotton-padded trousers, with sheepskin inside and cloth wrapped around it. Even if it's minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius, no matter how cold it is, we won't fight... What's the pronunciation of this character?"
"You don't even recognize a pestle? How did you even study?"
"Vinegar? That's not how vinegar is written!"
"All you know is drinking vinegar. This is the 'pestle' in 'beating a pestle,' meaning to be afraid."
"So what word is that?"
While Xu Mei was still struggling to figure out what the lyrics were and humming along to the sheet music, Liang Liang had already started writing his second song, "Looking Towards My Hometown".
The closer I get to my hometown, the more desolate I feel.
I never dared to even dream of going home.
The scenery of my hometown, my parents in my hometown
My eyes welled with tears as I gazed at my hometown.
Liang Liang sang softly as he wrote, quickly attracting Xu Mei's attention.
"Brother Liang! This song is great!"
"Don't interrupt! If you interrupt again, I'll throw you out the window!"
Liang Liang quickly wrote the song.
The fragrance of earth wafted in my face.
I have returned to my long-lost hometown.
The road of time has accumulated so many vicissitudes.
Let me embrace the scenery of my hometown once again.
"Great! Great song! Brother Liang! I've noticed that you write songs like it's nothing, you can write a song in the blink of an eye. Do other people write songs like this?"
Liang Liang glared at Xu Mei: "You're a grown woman now, stop talking nonsense all the time, got it?"
"Then why do you never think before you speak?"
"You want to compare yourself to me? I'm a big shot, what are you?"
Xu Mei's mouth was practically turned up to the back of her head.
"Besides, I'm a guy. How can a guy talk like a woman? If you keep mimicking me, I'll beat you to death!"
"How dare you! I'm not your wife, what right do you have to hit me?"
“Then I’ll take you…” Liang Liang suddenly felt something was off and abruptly stopped herself from speaking.
This little girl seems to have gone astray.
After finishing these two songs, Liang Liang also wrote "All Farmers Under Heaven Are One Family" and "Uncle Farmers".
The songs on this farmer's album are basically all there.
By the time I finished writing these four songs, it was already dark outside.
Liang Liang stretched and prepared to go outside for a walk.
No one in the Liang family was working at night because of the disturbance to the neighbors.
Now only Liang Feng is studying electric guitars in the east wing.
He is constantly combining various types of wood, trying to create the most suitable electric guitar.
Liang Liang believes that if he gives his younger brother some imported parts, he can produce a mid-range guitar.
However, even if you produce the product, you may not be able to sell it before your brand becomes well-known.
Unless you play it yourself.
But I still play bass, I don't play guitar!
Next year, once the front yard is completed and production begins, the bass project will also be added.
Liang Liang and Xu Mei walked down in the dark.
"Brother Liang! I feel that Sister Xiaoqian and Sister Xiaoyao are looking at you in a very special way."
Liang Liang's body stiffened.
"What's the difference? Aren't you the same as everyone else?"
"It's different! The way they look at you is exactly how they look at their own men, and their voices rise and their breathing quickens when they talk about you!"
Holy crap! What's wrong with women these days? Are they all becoming sentient beings?
For a fifteen-year-old girl to be able to observe these details, that's absolutely incredible!
"From now on, focus on doing something worthwhile, okay? Stop thinking about useless things all day long; it won't do you any good."
I need to keep an eye on Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao from now on, and make them pay attention.
If Xu Mei could see the signs, others probably would too; it's not a good sign.
