Having a few family members who, even if you are not doing well, you are still the best in their eyes, is a pretty good feeling.
The old lady also nodded and agreed with a smile: "Yes, my Dabao is very fast at learning anything. When the director of the machinery factory came over and saw the washing machine made by our Dabao, his eyes widened so much that I almost thought his eyes were going to fall out."
Xiao Wang pressed down the corners of his mouth hard. Every time the old leader and his wife praised Comrade Ye Zi, he felt like laughing, as if he was coaxing a few-year-old child.
The corners of Chen Ye's mouth twitched...that's an exaggeration.
After the washing machine was first made, Cen Zixiang persuaded Chen Ye to sell the technology. Since they were not relying on this to make a fortune anyway, they might as well sell it to the state-owned factory and get some money back.
Chen Ye agreed when she thought about it. This was something she and her fourth brother had put a lot of effort into making. It would be a shame if it remained unknown. Of course, it would be best if it could be exchanged for money.
However, Chen Ye never took the lead in such matters, so Cen Zixiang simply took action himself and contacted the leaders of the machinery factory.
Cen Zixiang looked quite impressive when he was pretending. Anyway, he didn't treat it as a joke and was kicked out. He even followed him seriously and took a look at the washing machine.
Of course, their washing machine did not disappoint, and they decided to buy the washing machine at home on the spot so that they could take it back to study. After all, just looking at the drawings is not as fast as observing the real thing.
Chen Ye is very capable. This is 100% handmade. She would feel so bad if she just sold it for money.
It was only after Cen Zixiang took her to a deserted place and talked her out of the benefits that Chen Ye reluctantly agreed to sell the washing machine she had made by hand.
But it was really valuable. The technology and the washing machine cost a total of 1,600 yuan. She and her fourth brother each got 800 yuan, which was almost as much as her salary for more than two years.
Of course, I also got a new washing machine in return, but we have to wait for the washing machines in their factory to be produced before they can be delivered. Now the washing machines we use at home are the first batch of washing machines produced by the newly established washing machine workshop of the machinery factory.
You know what, the washing machines produced by skilled workers look much more high-end than the ones they make by hand. I heard that they are now sold in department stores. They are extremely expensive, almost costing more than the three major appliances combined.
Every time Chen Ye thought about the money she had earned, she would sigh: knowledge and technology are really valuable! She almost continued to research similar things in a fit of rage, but luckily she quickly came to her senses and realized she was insane and stopped herself.
But don’t really think that just by reading a few more books and having a smart brain you can become a real researcher. She is still far from it.
But it's not impossible to tinker with some small things. After all, a washing machine only wastes a small amount of time. At least she and her fourth brother can each get a small yard.
Just say, side jobs make money faster.
"Haha, that was a long time ago, Grandpa, do you really agree to let me learn to drive?" Let's not talk about that old thing.
"I agree. What's there to disagree with? It just so happens that we'll be using this car for the next few days. You should hurry up and learn how to drive. You can drive next time we go out," he was quite confident in his granddaughter's intelligence.
"I remember when your four brothers were learning to drive, they were all around your age. I saw they learned pretty quickly."
Chen Ye's eyes never left Xiao Wang's hands and feet. Xiao Wang felt like he was being stared at and was a little nervous.
This is only because they have been together for a long time. Otherwise, if a little girl suddenly stared at him like this, Xiao Wang would feel like he could just turn around.
Xiao Wang was also generous. While driving, he explained to Chen Ye the things she needed to pay attention to while driving. When they arrived at the village, Chen Ye's head was filled with theoretical knowledge. Xiao Wang even taught her the simple theory of car repair. Now all that was left was to put it into practice.
The autumn harvest is over and the villagers will start going up the mountain to harvest in the next two days. They are all free and can be seen as soon as the car enters the village.
"Tsk tsk tsk, are we going to West Mountain again?" West Mountain refers to where Ye Zi and the others live.
"Then it's definitely decided. If anyone has a relative who can drive, it's definitely going to be Xiao Cen, the educated youth."
"Speaking of the educated youth Xiao Cen, Ye Zi hasn't been back for a while, right? Doesn't this kid want to come back?" Anyway, if it were her, she wouldn't want to come back even if she went to the city. The city is much better than the countryside.
"Our Ye Zi is not that kind of kid. You guys don't know if you've never been to the city. A round trip takes almost a whole day. Ye Zi and the others only have one day to rest, which is only enough for a round trip. Besides, the train ticket is free, right?"
"That's true. I went to the provincial capital a few years ago. That guy left before dawn, and by the time he got to the provincial capital by train, it was already afternoon. He couldn't even make the round trip."
"Look at the way you look at me. I didn't even notice Ye Zi sitting in the car. I also saw Ye Zi's grandparents. I guess they came back with them."
"Ah! I really wasn't paying attention, I just saw a young man driving a car. Didn't you say that Ye Zi didn't have time to come back?"
"What time is this? It's the time to close the mountain. Ye Zi must have asked for leave to bring the old man back to participate. We don't think the things in our mountains are valuable, but they are hard to buy in the city."
Those who were close to Ye Zi immediately knew the purpose of Ye Zi's return at this time, and began to calculate what they had at home that could be exchanged with Ye Zi. There were more dried vegetables at home this year, so they asked their children to go over and ask Ye Zi if she wanted some dried vegetables.
By the way, there are also mushrooms that were dried in the spring. Ye Zi seems to like eating them, and they can be exchanged for things. Ye Zi is a generous child and is willing to exchange things that cannot be bought in the village for those worthless things in the mountains.
An old lady slapped her thigh and said, "Please come back to Ye Zi Pan. I have to go see her later." She also exchanged a piece of cloth with Ye Zi. Her daughter was getting married, so she had to make a new dress.
"Well, I won't tell you for now. It's a good time for me to go back and bring some food. Ye Zi hasn't eaten anything from the village for a long time."
Those who think quickly immediately start finding all kinds of excuses to go home. Every year when the mountains are closed, people Ye Zi knows will come with scraps of cloth and other things to exchange for things.
I guess Ye Zi came back for this. I don’t know if there is malted milk this time. If there is, I will exchange it for a can for my grandson.
After all this, even those who were slow to think figured it out. Everyone understood what it meant, but no one said it directly to avoid being misled by petty people, which would have made it difficult for them to exchange for cloth that didn't require a ticket.
