After much thought, Wan Feng felt it necessary to return to Longjiang during the summer vacation. By then, both the machinery factory and the shoe factory in Wahou should be back on track, and it wouldn't seem to matter whether he was there or not.
Yes! He'd go back during the summer vacation. He had plenty of money anyway, so the round-trip fare of a hundred or eighty yuan wouldn't be a problem at all.
And those cats and dogs at home always bully his younger brothers and sisters. He should go back and teach them a lesson.
"What? You're going back to Longjiang during summer vacation?"
At the doorstep of Luan Feng's house, next to the pile of sand left over from building the house last year, Luan Feng's voice suddenly increased. Her face looked very ugly, and it could be seen that she was obviously nervous.
Ever since the two agreed last year not to talk about Wan Feng returning home, this is the first time they have talked about the issue of Longjiang in nearly a year.
"Then will you come back?"
This is the problem she is most worried about. If the bastard never comes back, where can she find him?
"I was originally planning to take you back with me to meet my parents, but after much consideration, I think it's best for me to go back by myself first. I can spread the word in front of my mother so she can be mentally prepared. After all, I'm only fourteen. If I look for a partner now, my mother will definitely beat me up. My mother hits people very hard. Do you know why I was so fast at the sports meet? It was because I was bullied by my mother and the kids there."
"Didn't you say you were chased by a dog because you were stealing melons late at night?"
Hearing that Wan Feng's return home was related to her, Luan Feng's expression softened a lot and she even made a joke.
"Get lost! When did I steal the melon?"
Luan Feng giggled, her petals trembling.
There is no cure for a heartless woman. One moment her face looks as ugly as if someone has died, and the next moment she actually laughs.
"I'll go back and tell my parents a little bit about you. If they don't mind, I'll bring you back in the winter so they can see you. That way, you won't have to look at me with those resentful eyes all day long."
"From what you said, your mother is very powerful, right? By the way, who is this son of a bitch going to be your father?"
This brain jump is really unpredictable.
"My mother is tough but reasonable. She's absolutely rude when we do something wrong, but she never scolds or hits us when we're not wrong."
"Then do you think your mother can look at me?" Luan Feng acted like a little girl, twisting her braids shyly.
"Why not? You're not as ugly as Zhu Bajie's second aunt, and now you're accompanied by 20 or 30 people. I don't think my mother has any reason to dislike you."
"Go to hell, you're Zhu Bajie's second aunt, eh? You just said that if your parents had no objection, you'd take me to Longjiang in the winter. Aren't you going back this winter?"
"I plan to postpone my return for a year and go back next winter."
"Really?" Luan Feng was surprised. If so, the separation between her and him would be shortened by one year.
Wan Feng was startled. Luan Feng looked like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. If he lost his composure and pounced on him to bite him, it would be the biggest joke of the spring.
"I want to bite you!" Luan Feng was obviously not stupid enough not to pounce on him, but she still said what was in her mind.
"Night, let's go on a date, okay?"
Wan Feng rolled his eyes. "You're stupid! There are nine people staying at your house right now. If you go on a date with me, they'll laugh at you when we get back. Just hold it in. We're still young and have plenty of time to live."
"You haven't dated anyone for several months. Have you picked up someone new outside, you bastard?" Luan Feng looked resentful.
Wan Feng was at a loss for words. Could he be blamed for not having a date? He also thought, wasn't there no chance? Luan Feng's family had always provided accommodation since the 18th day of the first lunar month. How could they have a date?
They have no official status now, and they would be laughed at if they dated.
"Can we finalize our matter before you leave?"
"If I can bring you back to meet my parents in the winter, our relationship will be almost done. We can then have an engagement ceremony at my grandmother's house and we can date openly."
Luan Feng rolled her eyes at Wan Feng: "Shai!"
"Okay, go back to work. I still have to deliver the blueprints to Xiao Dexiang."
…
Ever since Wan Feng's motorcycle could run all over the village, a scene like this appeared in the back of the village: a motorcycle was running in front with a streak of evil wind, followed by a group of "milk" yellow boys racing with the motorcycle.
These little yellow babies were full of energy and followed Wan Feng to the east end and then ran back.
What's the point?
I seemed to have done a lot of stupid things like this when I was a child, walking or running behind track tractors pulling various farm implements, and the drivers would stick their heads out of the cab and open their mouths at them, trying hard to be their fathers.
They were not polite and all said they wanted to be the father of the tractor driver.
So the tractor stopped and the driver jumped off the tractor to let them know why the flowers were so red.
They scattered like rabbits being chased by dogs...
Wan Feng walked into the machinery factory with a stack of drawings tucked under his armpit, thinking and smiling.
Xiao Dexiang looked at the drawings Wan Feng had drawn, his eyes gleaming with surprise, and he kept muttering, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."
"There is a question I have wanted to ask you for a long time. How did you learn these mechanical views? Although the views you drew are not very standard, this is not what you should do, right?" Xiao Dexiang asked while looking at the drawings.
"It's freezing to death in June. That's a long story. You probably don't know us at the reclamation farm. We're probably the most mechanized farm in the country, because our land is all large expanses, while yours is patchy here and there. Our main crops are wheat and soybeans. From sowing to harvesting, everything is mechanized except for shoveling and harvesting the soybeans. Soybean harvesters can actually be used for harvesting, but the losses are too great, so they use sickles to cut the stalks and then reapers to pick them up. About half of our company works with machinery. I've been interested in machinery since I was a kid. Do you think I'm surprised I could draw a diagram?"
"That's right!" Xiao Dexiang nodded and dispelled his doubts.
"I'm going to tell you something you won't believe, but before I came here, I made a battery-powered car at home and a lot of weird toys. The kids in our company were all stunned. If I'd stayed in our company for another two or three years, I'd be able to draw a blueprint this complex. Now you can only make do with it. If you can understand what I'm drawing, then you can figure it out and make your own modifications."
Xiao Dexiang and his technical staff began to correct the errors in the views drawn by Wan Feng, and asked about the dimensional data of these parts while correcting them.
