Chapter 1188: Solid and Prosperous
Lu Miao called home at the end of August to talk about his children going to school.
Fu Jingyou told her not to worry and said he would always remember it.
Afterwards, I asked her how her work was going recently, whether she was busy or tired, etc.
Lu Miao is not tired at work.
Occasionally, when I have free time, I can go to the nearby sea, or organize a team-building trip to the farm of my foreign media colleagues.
The cultural exchange meeting is getting closer and closer. Recently, these exhibitors have to hold two or three meetings in the consulate every day, either in the morning or in the evening.
The daily atmosphere is inevitably serious.
The call was made during a break in the evening meeting.
"I need to prioritize the exchange meeting. There's a time difference between the two places, so I might not be able to call home for a while. Just work hard and don't wait for my call... I'll contact my family in advance when I'm done with this busy period and ready to go back."
"Okay...don't be so busy. Take care of yourself first before you talk about anything else!"
Lu Miao on the other end of the phone said with a smile:
"Got it, Brother You. Someone is waving at me from the conference room. I'm going to hang up now."
Fu Jingyou was silent for a short while.
Thousands of words were stuck in my throat, and in the end I could only utter "The kids and I will be waiting for you to come back" before hanging up the phone.
The phone call was hung up, and Fu Jingyou continued to count the time on his fingers while he was busy with work, waiting for his wife to come back.
At about the same time, the children started school and Baichuan also enrolled in the Yuhong class.
Shi An and Nie Yunge are in the same grade and were originally scheduled to enter junior high school this summer.
However, new regulations were drafted in July last year, and primary and secondary schools were adjusted in batches, from the initial 52-year system to a 63-year system.
Beifu Primary School is the first batch of schools to pilot the new regulations.
The two children would have to finish sixth grade in elementary school before they could enter junior high school...
Then there is Baichuan.
The boy was used to being left alone at home, so at first he would cry and make a fuss when he went to school.
Either she refused to go, or she whined and insisted on taking her puppy Tuantuan with her.
In the first week, Tang Mei coaxed the boy to go along with the car. Later on, the boy made friends at school and gradually gained some independence.
Primary schools have started, as have all major universities.
Fu Jingyou took back the translated CNC manual and after reading it carefully, he was very vague about the concept of "CNC programming" mentioned in it.
I took some time to look through the books and asked the original teacher of the equipment class.
Later I learned that there is a course called programming in science and engineering.
If you want to maximize the functionality of CNC machine tools, you have to understand programming.
Things like programming are only taught in computer and electronic science subjects.
Fu Jingyou thought it over again and again, and spent two days applying for the qualification to audit courses at his alma mater.
He got the corresponding course schedule. In addition to taking care of his work in the factory, he would go back to school to continue his studies when he had some free time.
It is indeed tiring to run around every day, but for him, it seems to be a good thing.
In the past, no matter how late he came home, there would always be someone at home who would leave a light on for him.
Not only am I alone when I go home now, but when I go to the factory to guard the machines, it's also really boring to huddle alone on a small wooden bed.
If only the mother of his child were here.
Fu Jingyou thought so more than once.
But fortunately, the mother of the child will soon
Back.
The more I think about it, the more time seems unbearable.
Fu Jingyou shook his head and decided not to think about it any further.
Under the dim incandescent light of the factory, he took a sip of water and pushed the enamel pot aside. He opened the reference book with one hand and opened the notebook with a pen in the other.
Digital programming and computer programming in CNC machine tool design are both related and significantly different.
The two have similarities in logical thinking, instruction system, etc., but there are great differences in application depending on the scenarios and technical principles.
The programming classes in school mainly focus on computer science, and the use of large-scale equipment is not taught at all, nor is there any ability to teach it.
Most of the time, he needs to learn by himself...
Time passes by in busy days and nights.
One morning in late September, Fu Jingyou was in the new factory, holding a notebook in one hand and slowly adjusting the machine tool buttons with the other, trying for the first time to use the CNC function to set precise dimensions.
Before he could even take two steps, someone knocked on the outermost iron door.
“duangduangduang——”
"Sixth Brother? Is Sixth Brother here?"
It’s Chen Xiangdong.
Fu Jingyou closed his notebook and put it in his chest pocket. He pressed the "Stop" button on the machine tool and went out to open the door.
"Why did you come here so suddenly? If you have anything to say, just send me a message and I'll call you back when I'm nearby, right?"
Chen Xiangdong waved his hands and smiled like a big-mouthed monkey:
"This is no ordinary matter. I have to come here and tell you in person!"
Fu Jingyou nodded.
There were no extra teacups here, so he didn't pour water for Chen Xiangdong. He just took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
He took out his lighter and clicked it a few times, then lit a cigarette for someone else.
Chen Xiangdong waved his hands quickly:
"I have it, I have it, I can do it myself!"
Fu Jingyou nodded, lit a cigarette for himself, and asked Chen Xiangdong what exactly he came here for.
"It's nothing else..."
Chen Xiangdong laughed and asked instead of answering:
"When will my sister-in-law be back?"
"If I don't reply by the end of this month, it will probably be October."
Chen Xiangdong asked:
"You didn't say the exact time?"
Fu Jingyou glanced at him and hit him on the shoulder in annoyance:
"If you have something to say, tell me now. I'm busy."
Chen Xiangdong laughed out loud, rubbing the back of his head and no longer keeping the secret:
"I recently heard that several buildings in Zhongguancun are about to be completed. After the government and state-owned enterprises have finished providing housing, there will be some left. If you have the conditions, you can apply to buy one!"
Fu Jingyou understood what he meant in a second.
After pondering for a while, Fu Jingyou said:
"Isn't Zhongguancun on the North Fourth Ring Road? The factories and everyone's activities are mostly around West Second. North Fourth is a bit far. Will it be convenient for you if you move there?"
Chen Xiangdong nodded, scratching the back of his head, feeling quite conflicted:
"It's a bit far, but it's hard to find apartments, and..."
He hissed and muttered, too embarrassed to speak loudly:
"Mei Zi and I have been dating for a few years. When I heard the news the other day, I mentioned the idea of getting married to her. She said yes, but she wanted to wait until my sister-in-law came back and everyone was present."
Chen Xiangdong made this trip just for this matter.
Of course, this also means sharing joy with brothers...
But getting back to the point, Chen Xiangdong said:
"But after getting married, you need a place to live, right? You have to live your life in a proper way. Our conditions were not good before, but now I have saved some money. Mei Zi is willing to follow me, so I want her to live a stable, comfortable and prosperous life like my sister-in-law."
