Some jobs, if you don't take them, they're no longer yours; but once you take them, it's not so easy to pass them on.
Hu Zhenghao had lost count of how many times he had sewed clothes and pants for Liwu.
Qin Nian suddenly remembered Fan Juan and called her. She thought it was late and Fan Juan might not answer, but to her surprise, Fan Juan answered very quickly.
"Are you still at the factory so late?"
“Besides my departmental work, I basically stay at the factory all the time. What, you busy person have some free time? Do you want to come to the factory and take a look? The machine has arrived, and I was just wondering who to ask to inspect it.”
Fan Juan held the phone in one hand and ate a steamed bun in the other. She was trying to save money where she could and spend it where she could. She thought she had enough money, but after buying the machine, she found that there were still too many places where she needed money. However, it was agreed that she would pay the majority of the cost in order to gain control, so she was handling things on her own.
“Okay, I’ll take my mother-in-law to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy clothes tomorrow morning, and then come to find you after lunch.”
Qin Nian thought for a moment.
"No, if you come in the morning, we'll have lunch together. Let's skip the supply and marketing cooperative and go straight to the department store."
Fan Juan patted her pockets; thankfully, she still had her wages.
"OK."
Qin Nian thought for a moment and agreed.
When Professor Wen spoke with Yang Yufen about their encounter with the wild boar that day, he felt a pang of anxiety.
"If this were before, with a hunting rifle, I would have shot down not just a small wild boar, but an entire litter. My shooting skills were the best in the whole commune. But wild boar meat isn't as tasty as domestic pig meat; it's quite tough. Wild pheasant soup, on the other hand, tastes pretty good."
"Next time something like this happens, don't rush to the front. If something were to happen, the children would be so worried."
Professor Wen quickly tried to dissuade him.
“It’s just that they are all children. If any of them gets hurt, it will hurt. The family worked so hard to send them to college. The children have suffered so much to get to where they are today. I’m not an impulsive person.”
Yang Yufen nodded in explanation.
"Niannian said we should go out for a walk tomorrow, how about we go together?"
Yang Yufen extended an invitation.
"I have plans for tomorrow, and I didn't know Niannian would be taking the day off. I can't really refuse. Why don't you guys come over and have dinner together tonight? Lao Hu hasn't been home for dinner in a while, and I'm too lazy to cook for myself."
"Okay, I was just thinking of killing a chicken to nourish Niannian, but she insisted on taking me out to eat. We'll kill it and stew it tomorrow night, and our two families can eat together."
"The place I'm going to tomorrow is famous for its roast duck, so I'll bring one back with me. It's settled then."
After the two finished their conversation, Qin Nian also finished her phone call, and naturally didn't miss the words of the two elders.
"Mom, come with me somewhere tomorrow. We'll go shopping at the department store this afternoon and then come back to cook together."
"OK."
Early in the morning, Fan Juan was already waiting at the factory. The factory building wasn't fully completed yet. Fan Juan thought that since she was going to do it, she should do it on a large scale, while everything was still inexpensive.
"Aunt Yang, please recite it!"
Fan Juan estimated the time and went to the main gate. After waiting for a while, she saw people arrive.
Qin Nian and Yang Yufen each rode a bicycle; Shen Xianjun wasn't home, which was just right.
Fan Juan pulled Qin Nian to look at the machines, with Yang Yufen following behind them. They looked at the spacious factory building, then at the tightly covered machines, and pulled back the tarpaulin to reveal the huge machines inside.
"As you said, I've brought over the injection molding machine first. Although it's second-hand, it will save a lot of money. It's just that the mold needs to be adjusted by myself."
Fan Juan introduced them to Qin Nian one by one.
"However, the core component you need is a brand-new machine that I imported at great expense."
