The next morning, Xiang Mianmian said that he was going to hand in the matchbox to get his reward. He did not eat lunch at home and ran to the match factory to find Chen Wei.
The security guards are marching in step, they are so handsome that people are drooling.
She carried the basket on her back and admired them for a while. After handing in the matchbox and getting the money, she came back and found that they had returned to their posts. Then she ran over to ask Chen Wei which building and floor he was on.
The soldier did not let her go just because she was 7 years old. He asked for her basic information and home address, registered her, and asked her to leave the backpack at the guard post before telling her:
"Here, go straight to the end of this road, turn right and go to the second building on your right. Ask the people in the R&D department over there to find him."
Xiang Mianmian remembered it, nodded obediently, and walked over according to his instructions.
Arriving at the R&D department, she saw the door was closed. She looked around the buildings on both sides in confusion, worried that she had come to the wrong place. Finally, she hesitantly knocked on the door: "Hello, is anyone there?"
She thought the R&D department would be as noisy as a market, but why was it so quiet here? Surely this was the second building on the right?
“Squeak—”
While Xiang Mianmian was daydreaming, the door to the R&D department opened and a middle-aged man with a stubbled face, dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes came out and asked, "Who is it?"
Looking down at a little girl, he finally suppressed the impatience in his tone and said with a slight pause: "Who are you from, little girl? Who are you looking for?"
"Is this the R&D department? I'm looking for Chen Wei. I'm Xiang Meimei's youngest sister, Xiang Mianmian. I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes, this is the R&D department," the middle-aged man said gently, then turned and shouted into the room, "Chen Wei, there's a girl looking for you named Xiang Mianmian."
Not long after, Chen Wei, looking equally haggard, came out. He was happier to see Xiang Mianmian than to see his ancestors, and hurriedly led her to the stone table and chairs under the bamboo forest next door.
"Little sister, sit down. Why, are you free to talk to me today?"
Xiang Mianmian didn't hesitate and went straight to the point: "My sister hasn't seen you for a few days, so she asked me to come and ask about you."
"I want to see her, but the factory said that no one can go home unless this difficulty is overcome. I haven't been home for several days." Chen Wei straightened his messy hair, feeling like crying but unable to.
It is true that the salary is high, but the responsibility is also heavy.
The factory's performance was not good, and it was all relying on the R&D department to develop a new generation of matches or more convenient lighters. At the leader's command, all the R&D department members slept in the factory.
What a sin! It’s not easy for workers. Doesn’t Chen Wei’s 007 have anything to do with the note from Xiang Mianmian?
Xiang Mianmian felt guilty: "You can't not show up on Laba Festival. Sister Meimei and mother were waiting for you at home but couldn't wait. We only found out after we sent Laba porridge to your house."
"Laba Festival is over?!" Chen Wei was devastated and scratched his head: "Oh my God, I haven't been home since the sixth day of the New Year. It's been four days."
It's really too miserable. He has a home but can't return, and the factory won't give him any housing.
Xiang Mianmian looked at her second brother-in-law pitifully: "It's okay, Auntie has explained it to Mom, you should get busy with your work. By the way, is there anything you don't understand about the note last time?"
It must be that the research on lighters did not produce any results. How could the match factory not give a house to the hero? There must be a problem with the development of lighters.
"Methane and ethane are gases under normal circumstances. They are easy to leak once they are put in. The lighter will be useless after two or three times." Chen Wei's mind was full of this question and he blurted out.
Suddenly remembering that there was a little girl across from me, I hurriedly said, "Oh, this is something we have to solve. When it's done, I'll bring some things to apologize to my mother."
The elders care about the younger ones, so Chen Wei naturally has to respect his mother-in-law. He didn't prepare anything for his wife's family on Laba Festival, and he didn't go there either. It was quite rude.
There's no need to apologize, be so polite.
Thinking back to the lighter, Xiang Mianmian suddenly said, "Is the gas you're talking about floating in the air like water vapor? That would definitely leak easily and be blown away by the wind. If it's like water, it would be easier to store when it's cold."
Her words instantly inspired Chen Wei. He didn't even care about sending his future sister-in-law out of the factory. Chen Wei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his mind was full of excitement that the problem had been solved.
In order to test what he had in mind, he rushed back: "You go home first, I'm going to get busy!"
Xiang Mianmian had already thought about how to trick Chen Wei, but he didn't even ask her questions and just rushed back to do it. She shook her head and said, "Young people are just impatient."
She didn't even think about how old she was or how old Chen Wei was, and spoke in an old-fashioned manner, which looked quite funny to outsiders.
In order to complete the task, Xiang Mianmian fought hard and she had to get the house rewarded by the system!
She strolled home carrying a basket of matchboxes.
I used my pocket money to buy two meat buns on the way and ate them very happily.
After buying the meat buns, I took a slight detour and on my way home, I happened to pass by the match factory dormitory I mentioned yesterday.
Because there were many married couples working in the match factory, steel plant, and coal plant, the family compound was named based on the name of the adjacent factory.
As the name suggests, this match factory dormitory is closer to the match factory, but it is also not far from the steel factory's staff quarters. After all, the two factories are only six kilometers apart, so how could the staff quarters be far away?
The seven newly built buildings are all four stories high. They have been topped out and are just waiting to be painted. Many employees come to see them after work every day, hoping to get one of them.
Xiang Mianmian didn't even need to count carefully. A few aunties next to her were shelling beans and chatting with them, and they knew everything about the dormitory.
Buildings 1, 2, 3 and 4 are dormitories for newly hired single employees. There are ten rooms on each of the four floors, with four people living in one room. If the building is full, there will be 4*4*10*4=640 people.
Buildings 5 and 6 are family buildings, with two bedrooms and a living room, five households on each floor, 2*4*5=40 households.
The seventh building is the leadership residence. All leaders move into this building. Each floor has three households with three bedrooms and two living rooms, for a total of 12 households.
Assuming that all the staff members in the family buildings and leadership quarters are married couples, these seven buildings, if fully occupied, can provide accommodation for 742 employees.
Xiang Mianmian was drooling over the sight and pointed at the building with the leadership unit and said, "Xiao Liu, if I complete the task, I'll take a room in this building..."
System Xiao6 didn't say anything.
Xiang Mianmian imagined for a while what delicious food she would eat at the leader's house, and then she went home contentedly. After all, at her age, she couldn't own a house, so she could only hope to comfort herself with food.
