After more than an hour of bumpy ride, Xu Jianguo and Tong Fei finally returned to the Red Star Machinery Factory.
Xu Jianguo got out of the car and moved the large box of books out of the car. Instead of returning to the dormitory, he went directly to Gao Wangshan's office.
After knocking on the door, Gao Wangshan's voice came from the room, "Come in!"
"Uncle Gao, I'm back!" Xu Jianguo walked in from outside holding a large wooden box and spoke.
When Gao Wangshan saw that it was Xu Jianguo, he quickly stood up, helped him put the box on the ground, and said, "You're back so soon? How's everything?"
"Solved!" Xu Jianguo took out his notebook from his pocket and showed him the translated content.
Then he found the cowhide notebook in the box and handed it to Gao Wangshan.
Gao Wangshan looked at the translated content on the notebook and was overjoyed. He said, "Mr. Zhou was right about you. You've really helped the factory a lot. Let's go, call Tong Fei and go to the cafeteria. I'll treat you all to dinner!"
"No, no, no, Uncle Gao, please forgive me. I was reading books until midnight last night and wanted to go back to sleep. Besides, the drawings have been translated now, shouldn't you report to Mr. Zhou? Let's have dinner another day, okay?" Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, you're right. I have to tell Mr. Zhou right away. When the engine is finished, I'll ask for credit for you!"
"Haha, okay!" Xu Jianguo agreed with a smile, then took out the envelope that Gao Wangshan had given him before and handed it to him, telling him that the invoice and the remaining money and tickets were inside.
"Uncle, how is Funiu these days? And is Gu Mingqi causing any trouble?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Your girl Funiu is more popular in the factory than I am. Everyone who sees her has to give her something. Yesterday in the cafeteria, I saw that her two little pockets were almost full of peanuts and candies." Gao Wangshan said with a smile.
Xu Jianguo touched his nose awkwardly and said, "This girl is indeed a bit greedy."
"It's okay, Funiu is indeed cute, and everyone likes her. It's not a bad thing!"
"How's Gu Mingqi?"
"You guessed it right. On the day you left, Deputy County Chief Gu called me and I told him what you told me. Guess what happened? Gu Mingqi was transferred in the afternoon. It was said that he went to a textile factory." Gao Wangshan said.
"I hope he can learn his lesson!" said Xu Jianguo.
"Why are you talking like an old man? Don't worry, I think Deputy County Chief Gu must have asked about you. Since he was able to transfer Gu Mingqi, it means he has given in."
"Yeah, that makes sense!"
After Xu Jianguo spoke to Gao Wangshan for a few more words, he left his office.
When he arrived at the motorcade, Xu Jianguo found Tong Fei, took the things he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative from the car, and then returned to the dormitory.
There was no one in the dormitory. I guess Wen Sitian took Fu Niu to work in the Propaganda Department.
Xu Jianguo did not go to look for them. He took out the things he bought from the net bag, and took out the comic book and the Type 50 kettle from the space.
Xu Jianguo fiddled with the Type 50 kettle in his hand, and couldn't help but recall the scene of drinking water from this kettle on a farm in Northeast China in his previous life. The biggest feature of this kettle is the cork bottle mouth design style, which is similar to the red wine bottle of later generations. This style of design is inspired by the characteristics of the Type 94 military kettle.
However, this kettle has a big drawback, which is the design of the cork. You must know that the battlefield situation is complex and changeable. Long-term plugging and unplugging and immersion in water will cause the cork to deteriorate, and you may even drink a mouthful of water with wood chips when drinking.
However, despite this, this military canteen also made great contributions to the volunteer army's campaign in North Korea. It was not until the birth of the Type 65 canteen that the Type 50 canteen was gloriously retired.
Xu Jianguo pulled out the cork of the kettle, observed the structure of the mouth of the kettle, and an idea came to his mind.
After putting the kettle away, Xu Jianguo lay down on the bed. He immersed his consciousness in the space and took care of the farm. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but Xu Jianguo suddenly felt his nose a little itchy, so he raised his hand to scratch it.
After a while, he felt a little itchy again, so Xu Jianguo opened his eyes and saw Funiu's big eyes and a smirk on her face.
Xu Jianguo hugged Funniu and started tickling her. The little girl giggled and begged for mercy. Even Wen Sitian, who was sitting next to her, laughed and couldn't help but envy the relationship between the brother and sister.
After a while, Xu Jianguo stood up holding Funiu and took out the things in the drawer.
He first pinned a hairpin on Funiu's hair, then took out another hairpin and put it in Funiu's hand, and then said a few words in her ear.
The little girl struggled to get off Xu Jianguo, ran to Wen Sitian, stretched out her short, chubby little hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, this is the hairpin I bought for you, one for each of us!"
The reason why he asked Funiu to speak was because Xu Jianguo was worried that Wen Sitian would be embarrassed. After all, if he gave her three things at once: a hairpin, vanishing cream, and clam oil, she would definitely not accept them given her shy personality. So Xu Jianguo had to take this roundabout way to save the country.
"Sister, don't want it. Leave it to Funniu!" Wen Sitian said with a smile, reaching out to rub her hair.
When Funiu heard Wen Sitian's words, she immediately curled her lips and tears as big as beans fell down.
The amazing thing about this girl is that although she shed tears, she didn't cry out loud. It was this silent crying that reminded Xu Jianguo of the Hong Kong star Maggie Cheung in his previous life.
