Chapter 415 Suitable
Lying in bed at night, Lu Jingshen also said that he wanted to buy a house as soon as possible: "Baby, let's go look at houses when we have time. Let's buy the kind of single-family house you like."
Lin Xiaoxia nodded: "Okay, then start looking. We can move in by the end of winter. The main thing is to have good heating."
"Well, speaking of a single-family house with heating, that new villa on Nanshan Road is pretty good, I think."
"Okay, let's buy the best."
"It just so happens that the jade mine recently received some money. We don't need to buy a car ourselves. The money is enough to buy a house."
"I really have to thank Qiangzi for this. I didn't buy a car, so I bought a house in advance. Now that I have a house, I also want to have a baby sooner. The sooner I give birth, the better my recovery."
"We agreed to have only one child."
"Two, one is too lonely."
"I don't want you to suffer. My wife is mine, and I don't want so many little guys to compete with me."
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself, competing for favors with a child who hasn't even appeared yet?"
"What's wrong with being embarrassed? I'm not afraid of being embarrassed in front of my wife anyway."
"Hubby, you're so nice."
"It's just for you."
…
The weather in midsummer is very hot. I would sweat in the middle of the night even with the windows open. I had to turn on the fan for half the night before I could sleep better.
Soon it was the weekend, and Lu Guojiu said that the cement floor of the factory at home had been laid, and the equipment such as the oven could be shipped back.
So Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen first went to the place where they bought the equipment. It was a dismantled state-owned food factory. They had already negotiated it beforehand, and they just had to go there today to pay and pick up the equipment.
The loan had been approved long ago and was in Lin Xiaoxia's hands, so there was no trouble at all.
When we arrived at the factory, the person in charge, Master Feng, came out to greet us: "I was worried that you wouldn't buy it." Because no deposit was paid at that time and it was just a verbal deal, the person in charge was a little worried.
Lin Xiaoxia said: "We agreed that I would tell you in advance even if I didn't buy it."
Master Feng sighed. "The state-owned enterprises that were dismantled this year were contracted out. This equipment isn't that popular anymore. Many factories have sold their inferior equipment for scrap metal. I can't help but worry about this."
People of this generation seem to be more sincere and don't say anything empty. It's also possible that he is just a responsible person, so there is no need to play tricks.
Lu Jingshen also felt this way and said, "Indeed, there have been too many layoffs across the country in the past two years. Many factories have undergone transformation and downsizing after being contracted out to individuals, so it's not easy for everyone."
Master Feng also sighed: "Yes, I am going to be laid off too. After all the equipment in these factories is disposed of, I will be unemployed. I don't know what I will do in the future. I have worked here for 20 years, working diligently and never taking a day off. But no matter how hard I try, I can't keep up with the changing times."
Lin Xiaoxia felt very sad when she heard this. There were people who took advantage of the situation and got paid in state-owned enterprises, but there were also people who worked sincerely. But in the end, they were all the same and had to be laid off.
She said to Master Feng, "Those who work hard will definitely achieve success. Master Feng, don't be too pessimistic."
Master Feng sighed again: "I hope so."
As he was talking, he entered the workshop, checked the equipment that had been ordered before, and then paid the money and took delivery.
The hired car arrived soon, and several laborers loaded the large oven and freezer into the car.
Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen said goodbye to Master Feng and left.
They first went home to pick up Lu Jingyuan, and then they went back to their hometown with the truck following in front.
When they arrived at the new house, Lu Guojiu asked a few young men to wait there to help with moving things.
The good thing about rural areas in this era is that if you need help with a small task, you can just give someone two boxes of cigarettes or a meal. If it's not a big job, like helping to carry something, just say thank you. Anyway, if your family has something to do, others will help, and if others have something to do, you can just help them too.
Everyone carried all these down and moved them into the factory.
The factory is very simple, with cement floors and large white walls. The divisions between the different areas are very clear and simple: the operation room, the baking room, the packaging room...
After unloading the truck and paying the driver, he returned to the city.
Lin Xiaoxia took out a pack of cigarettes from the trunk of the car and gave two boxes of cigarettes to each of the young men who helped, as well as lighters, key chains and other things from their store.
The young men were quite happy and chatted for a few minutes, but knowing that the Lu family was busy, they all dispersed.
While Lu Jingshen and Lu Guojiu were discussing how to connect the oven to the power supply, Lin Xiaoxia was also walking around.
There are four factory buildings in total, and the front one on the east side is the office area.
The main entrance is in the middle. The four rooms on the east side are offices. In addition to Lu Guojiu and Lu Lin's, there are also offices for the accountant and the workshop director.
The accountant had been chosen before. He was the accountant of the former supply and marketing cooperative and happened to be familiar with Lu Guojiu. However, there was no suitable candidate for the workshop director, after all, he needed an experienced manager.
Thinking about this, Lin Xiaoxia thought of Master Feng. Didn't he manage the factory before? He seemed nice and practical. She didn't need him to be innovative. She could just hand over her ideas to Lu Lin and let her control the overall situation. As long as the director could ensure production, Master Feng would be a good fit.
Thinking of this, she quickly went to find Lu Jingshen to ask for his opinion.
Lu Jingshen had a good impression of Master Feng, so he agreed and said that he would ask Master Feng for his opinion and see if he was willing to come to the countryside.
Because they had not thought about hiring outsiders before, there were no dormitories, but the second floor of their house was built very large at that time, and four guest rooms were reserved. After all, there were many people in the Lin family, and if Lu Jingyuan got married in the future, there would definitely be a lot of people at home during the New Year holidays, so they built a large house directly. If necessary, Master Feng would have a place to stay when he came to work.
There are also many buses going from their village to the city. If you don't want to stay overnight, you can commute. This is a flexible option.
After a while, Li Shaofen also came over and happily took Lin Xiaoxia to have a look around the new second floor. There was a living room at the entrance, the master bedroom facing east and south, and the kitchen to the north. This way, they could cook in the kitchen and heat the kang in the master bedroom, making it warmer in winter and more suitable for the northern environment.
The two rooms on the west side have stoves and kangs. People in the countryside are used to living on kangs, so although their house is a building, they still retain the kang that is suitable for the north.
There is a large balcony upstairs, and two guest bedrooms on the east and west sides, which are neat and tidy and easy to clean.
Li Shaofen had already started making bedding, curtains and other things for the new home, and at this time she was talking to Lin Xiaoxia about the layout of the new home.
Lin Xiaoxia did not participate too much in the design here, because this is the new house of her parents-in-law, and in the countryside, there are actually many arrangements that they think are suitable. Unlike in the city, she would give them advice. In the countryside, it is better to let the mother-in-law have free rein.
It was almost noon when they all went home, cooked some noodles and made some stew, which was a very delicious meal.
In the afternoon, they returned to the city and went directly to talk to Master Feng, who was willing to give it a try.
In the evening, Lin Xiaoxia received a call from Fang Lan'e, saying that they would treat everyone to a meal on Tuesday because the store would be busy on the weekend.
