Chapter 1163 Buy Early and Save Early
Fu Jingyou didn't expect her to change the subject so quickly. He rubbed the back of his head for a moment before saying:
"I haven't lost weight... Before, I didn't have much work, I had nothing to do every day, and I ate well, so I might have gained some weight. Now this is normal."
Lu Miao glanced at him sideways, snorted, and said nothing.
Doesn't she understand him yet?
He always likes to find work to do, and no matter how much work there is in the factory, he has never been idle.
She frowned and tightened her jaw, obviously unhappy. Fu Jingyou couldn't help but laugh and freed one hand to reach out and grab her hand.
He didn't hide anything from her. He told her everything about how busy he had been recently and what he was busy with.
Finally, he patted her hand soothingly and continued:
"I've been a bit busy lately, but I'm paying attention! I eat well at regular times and only work overtime occasionally. I'm not busy until late every day."
Lu Miao turned around and looked at him seriously. Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, his temper calmed down a little.
However, she was quick-witted and grasped the key message in his words:
"So now Sun Youcheng needs so many train components, are you still polishing them inch by inch with your bare hands like before?"
Fu Jingyou nodded and said truthfully:
"The machine tools in the factory are too old. Each set of components can be used at first, but later on, when it comes to precise calibration, I have to do it myself... But now it's not as troublesome as before. I have already made a set of qualified finished components. Now, the deviation of the mold based on that set is much smaller, and there is less part to polish, which saves a lot of trouble."
The main reason is that the hardware processing factory we took over was not large in scale, and in addition to the problem of aging equipment, the types of machine tools were also very limited.
Take modeling for example. Without the relevant equipment but still wanting to achieve this effect, we can only use some very traditional and ancient methods.
Fu Jingyou first dug out the veins of the components in the sand, and then injected liquefied metal into them.
Wait for it to cool down and set, then take it out for the next step...
Now that he has a set of qualified components, he can use this set of components as a template for more precise molding.
But then again, if we had a hydraulic press, all the steps of digging sand, liquefying metal, and polishing or not could be skipped.
It can be formed in one step directly using the machine.
Lu Miao didn't know anything about industrial equipment, but she understood the logic and immediately said:
"Things are slowly starting to pick up, and the cooperation has already been signed. The subsequent income is set in stone. So, let's just buy the machines! If we want to develop well, we'll have to buy these things. Buy them sooner rather than later..."
While improving efficiency, you can also free up time and energy to do other things. This is a win-win situation.
Moreover, the problem of state-owned factories being gradually eliminated by the market due to outdated and aging equipment can almost be regarded as a lesson.
They run their own factory and are determined to manage it well. If they upgrade their equipment, they will have more room for survival.
Fu Jingyou nodded slightly and said:
"There's no rush for this."
Her analysis was not without reason, but Fu Jingyou also had his own concerns.
At present, he was lucky enough to sign this cooperation because of his friendship. It is hard to say whether he can really get other cooperation orders as he expected in the future.
The couple had worked hard and saved some money, so they would get a lot if they could complete Sun Youcheng's job.
But a machine cannot be bought for just thirty or twenty thousand yuan.
It is not easy to save money, especially when there are many children in the family and daily expenses are always high.
Not daring to take the risk was one thing, and the other was that Fu Jingyou had no intention of taking the risk at all.
For now, he can still take care of both, it's just a matter of putting in more effort.
As for the rest?
I'll look at it later...
Fu Jingyou was afraid of making his wife worry, so he held Lu Miao's hand tightly while steering with one hand.
"I'm not being perfunctory. I'll look at this matter later. There are many types of machine tools, and I can screen them to see what the mainstream needs are."
His words were meant to soothe her, and Lu Miao took some of it in, but she pouted and remained stubborn:
"Do whatever you want. I don't care about you... Anyway, you're the one who's tired, not me!"
"Okay, huh?"
Fu Jingyou knew that she always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he didn't take these words to heart.
He smiled and changed the subject:
"Is there anything you want to eat? Let's buy some on the way back."
Lu Miao snorted twice, and finally couldn't help but said greedily:
"I want hot pot, with a spicy butter base! Oh, I've been so fed up with bland soup lately. You have no idea, the flavors there are so light!"
Fu Jingyou chuckled teasingly:
"Okay, let's go to the market. The market near my home is big, so I should be able to buy it."
"Hmm~"
The couple chatted and laughed about their daily lives as they strolled towards the market.
In the afternoon, the sound of hot oil sizzling could be heard in the Fu family's kitchen, and the two nannies were busy.
Lu Miao helped pick onions at one side of the long table, and occasionally had to be on guard against Bai Chuan.
The bad boy is getting older. He will be four years old in June this year. He is lively and active now, and it is increasingly difficult to restrain him.
Especially since Lu Miao hadn't been home for more than half a month, when Baichuan saw his mother, he became extremely attached to her.
Tang Mei came over to hug him, and his little hands and head were almost doubled, and he didn't want Tang Mei to have anything to do with him.
Lu Miao simply let Tang Mei rest while she kept an eye on the naughty boy.
"Mom, can Tuantuan eat hot pot?"
The child bumped against his legs. Lu Miao caressed the little guy's head lovingly and smiled gently:
"Tuantuan can't eat hot pot. The puppy has its own food. If you feed it anything else, the puppy will feel uncomfortable."
Baichuan widened his eyes and said quickly:
"Oh, Mom, I don't want to feel uncomfortable!"
"Then you can't feed it anything casually, like spicy food, salty food, candy, or chocolate."
Baichuan nodded ignorantly.
The mother and son were talking in a low voice when the kitchen door suddenly darkened and Fu Jingyou stood over.
Seeing this, Lu Miao hurriedly picked up the questioning boy and walked towards the door:
"It's just right that you're here. Please keep an eye on him so he doesn't bump into things in the kitchen. I'm afraid he'll get burned."
Fu Jingyou tapped his son on the forehead but did not take the child away.
He put his arm around Lu Miao's slender waist and took a few steps toward the corner outside the door. Without anyone's knowledge, he quickly pecked Lu Miao on the side of the face and whispered a few words softly.
Lu Miao looked at him in surprise after hearing this:
"It's almost three o'clock. Are you still going to the factory at this time?"
Fu Jingyou smiled and nodded, coaxing her with assurance:
"I'll go take a look and be back before dinner. We can have hotpot together later, okay? Hmm?"
