Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Machinery Factory
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the scrap yard?" Yang Dai looked at Xia Ziqing with some confusion.
In fact, the scrap station is also a popular place in the county town, and there are many people coming and going every day, but Xia Ziqing does not look like someone who needs to go to the scrap station to find something.
"When I was on a business trip, I heard a rumor that someone in the city found gold in a scrap yard."
"I don't think I'll be that lucky, but if it happens, I'll just consider it a stroke of luck."
Xia Ziqing seemed very interested, and Yang Dai did not refuse, although she felt that Xia Ziqing's gossip was not accurate at all.
After all, no one would spread the news after picking up gold.
But in fact, what Xia Ziqing said was not a lie, but she did not hear it from hearsay. Instead, she read the autobiography of a successful entrepreneur many years later.
In his autobiography, the other party said that his startup capital was an iron root found at a scrap yard.
It was the first time that the entrepreneur started a business. He was arrogant and soon failed. He was also burdened with debts. People were chasing him every day to collect the debts, and he got hurt every now and then.
In order to protect himself, the man used the last bit of money he had and bought a rusty iron rod at a scrap yard to defend himself. However, he didn't expect that there was gold hidden in the iron rod, which finally gave him the capital to start over.
This story suddenly occurred to Xia Ziqing when she passed by a scrap yard on a business trip to the city. However, she was staying in a guesthouse at the time, so it was not convenient for her to go to the scrap yard to look for things.
So after returning to the county town, I immediately wanted to go and see it.
Although I may not be as lucky as that entrepreneur, his experience is enough to illustrate one thing - there is really a chance to find bargains at scrap yards.
After being reborn and having experienced so many things, Xia Ziqing sometimes thought that he might have some luck. After all, rebirth is something that only happens once in a million years.
Besides, he didn't go to the scrap yard alone this time, but specially invited Yang Dai.
In her previous life, Yang Dai was able to successfully be interviewed on TV. She must have been very lucky. Maybe I could also benefit from it by being there.
Yang Dai was completely unaware of all the messy thoughts in Xia Ziqing's mind, but she did accompany Xia Ziqing on this trip.
The people at the scrap yard looked up when they saw the two people coming and said, "You can pick up the things over here. The things over there have been registered."
Yang Dai squatted down with Xia Ziqing, but just looked.
Even though the people at the scrap yard clean up every day, the things are still mixed and messy. Although the site is large, there is not much space left for walking.
"Do you just want to rummage through things like this?" Xia Ziqing looked clueless and wanted to pick up everything to have a look. Yang Dai watched from the side with her eyelids twitching, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"I'll just take a look at what's there first." After Xia Ziqing came, he actually felt a little regretful.
If there were any good things in the scrap yard, they would have been taken away in advance. The area they could pick out was designated, and there must be no good things in it.
Xia Ziqing lost interest, but felt that since he had come all the way here, he couldn't go back empty-handed, so he continued to pick and choose.
Yang Dai: "What are your preferences for these things?"
Xia Ziqing shook his head. "I don't have any preference. I just feel that since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed."
As Xia Ziqing spoke, he picked up a dirty and old vase and waved it towards Yang Dai, "What do you think of this? I should take it home to grow flowers."
Xia Ziqing suddenly remembered Yang Dai’s career in her previous life. Although Yang Dai has not yet started working in that job, she must have some luck and vision in it, otherwise she would not have been able to succeed.
Let Yang Dai take a look. What if she can find a bargain? It doesn’t matter if it’s a famous antique or cultural relic. Even if it’s just something from the end of the feudal dynasty, as long as she keeps it slowly, she won’t lose out.
"What about this one? It just has a little hole in it. It'll leak, right?"
Xia Ziqing brought several ceramic bottles to Yang Dai one after another, looking at her expectantly, hoping that Yang Dai could help him identify them.
Yang Dai looked at Xia Ziqing and frowned, but still picked and chose a worn porcelain vase and handed it to Xia Ziqing.
"If I have to choose, this is it." Although Yang Dai couldn't recognize what dynasty this item was from, at least the craftsmanship was different from that of today. It was very likely the antique that Xia Ziqing was looking for.
When leaving the scrap yard, Yang Dai lagged behind Xia Ziqing by half a step, thinking about the look Xia Ziqing had just given her.
It was as if the other party had been certain from the beginning that he could pick it out, and before that—
"Yang Dai." Xia Ziqing, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted.
Yang Dai came out of her thoughts and followed Xia Ziqing.
"After you went to the Youth League Office, did you plan to return to the city through it in the next two years?" Yang Dai asked about Xia Ziqing's plan. She felt that this was what Xia Ziqing was most likely to do.
But Xia Ziqing shook his head and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain."
After a pause, he continued, "But no matter what, I will not give up studying. I will not put down my textbooks as time goes by."
"You will definitely succeed." Yang Dai smiled. She knew Xia Ziqing's positive attitude towards learning.
Xia Ziqing looked at Yang Dai, opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up.
The two left the scrap yard. Xia Ziqing went to the dormitory that had been prepared by the Youth League Office, while Yang Dai returned home.
After returning from the capital, Yang Dai and Han Lin had both secured jobs. Although they worked in the same place, it would be inconvenient if there was only one bicycle at home, so they went to the department store to buy another one.
Now the two of them go to work together, but go their separate ways when they get off work. After all, Han Lin is on the construction site, and although he has a working and going-off time, it is impossible for him to be accurate every time.
In order to prevent Yang Dai from waiting too long, he simply let her leave after get off work.
But this time, Yang Dai went to the scrap yard, and when she returned home, Han Lin had already returned and was preparing dinner.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to say?" While eating, Yang Dai found that Han Lin had been looking at her but never said anything, so she simply spoke herself.
"I'm going to the city tomorrow. If it's short, I may be able to go back and forth on the same day, but if it takes time, it may take a week." Han Lin was full of resentment when he talked about this.
He chose the leader of the construction site because he didn't have to travel there, but he didn't expect that he couldn't avoid it, and it was so urgent that he was not prepared at all.
"Since it's urgent, let's eat quickly so we can pack our luggage after dinner." Yang Dai didn't feel reluctant to let Han Lin go on a business trip.
I'll be back soon anyway.
Besides, it’s work, so you always have to follow the arrangements and it’s normal to go on business trips.
"If luckily, the camera might be delivered by the time you come back from the city." Yang Dai talked about something else. She received a call at the food factory this morning.
The second-hand camera that Han Lin had negotiated with the other party in the capital was finally in his hands.
"Once the camera arrives, let's take some photos at the food factory."
"Okay." Han Lin touched Yang Dai's face and went to clean up the used dishes.
Yang Dai also followed with a glass of water to accompany Han Lin.
"The weather is getting colder. Bring thick clothes with you when you go on a business trip." Yang Dai reminded.
Although it hasn't snowed yet, we can already feel the coming of winter.
"Didn't the construction site just start? Why are you suddenly going on a business trip at this time?" Yang Dai sat next to Han Lin, occasionally helping Han Lin pass the bowl.
"The weather is cold, and it's difficult to lay the foundation. I heard that the city's machinery factory has newly upgraded machines, and the leaders are going to take a look." Han Lin just learned about this.
"The weather is getting colder, so it's not suitable for building a house anymore. But the food factory is in a hurry. After a meeting, the higher-ups decided to lay the foundation before the real winter arrives, and it would be best if we could build one or two floors."
In this way, when we resume work after the New Year, the speed can be much faster.
By next summer, the food factory will have completed the construction of the first batch of family buildings, and some of its employees will be able to start preparing to move.
Although the food factory seems to be bustling now and is constantly recruiting more workers, its reputation in the county is becoming more and more famous.
But not having a house to divide has always been a minus point.
Only after the house is built can everyone feel at ease and the food factory will no longer be seen as lame by others.
"Work hard!" Yang Dai patted Han Lin's shoulder jokingly, then walked out of the room, stood in the yard and looked around.
Yang Dai and Han Lin once discussed that when their financial situation improved, they would spend money to renovate their current house. After all, the current living conditions, even with electricity, were not very comfortable.
But at first, the two were always busy.
At that time, when Zheng Huasheng said that he wanted to divide the houses, but the time was uncertain, Yang Dai was still thinking about rebuilding the house.
I didn’t expect the food factory to move so quickly and we could move in directly next year.
Yang Dai walked around the yard, and in fact, the idea of building a house had faded from her mind.
Although I was a temporary worker before, I didn’t actually work in the food factory very often, so I didn’t take the short distance from Huangzhuang Brigade to the county town seriously.
But now that she has to go to work every day and the weather is getting colder, Yang Dai has a different idea. She now hopes that the food factory’s house can be built faster so that she can move in earlier.
This way working time can be greatly shortened.
Han Lin had to go on a business trip and had to leave for the county town early in the morning to meet up with his colleagues. Although Yang Dai got up to see Han Lin off, she had no plans to go to work with Han Lin.
After all, it's still early.
After thinking about it, I decided to go back to my parents' home.
After leaving the brick kiln, Yang's father resumed his work habit, but it was still early and not time to gather yet, so he was eating at home.
But at this moment, only Yang's father and mother are at home.
Yang Dai's elder brother Yang Chengguo now works in the commune, but he is a temporary worker after all. In order to leave a good impression, he comes to work early every day.
Someone was getting married in my sister-in-law's family, so she took her two children and slept there for one night. She hasn't come back yet.
As for the second brother Yang Chengjun, he is now studying at the agricultural machinery station. Although tractors also have to transport goods and people, they are relatively less busy. Therefore, whenever he has time, Yang Chengjun drives his tractor to the agricultural machinery station to study.
Now Yang Chengjun is no longer satisfied with being a tractor driver in Huangzhuang Brigade. He hopes to join the agricultural machinery station and is working hard for it.
As for my second sister-in-law, she was busier than before because the primary school added a literacy course after the slack season, and she went to school early to prepare lessons.
"Just work hard and don't worry about the family. You've really brought honor to our family. Our family is blessed by you." Mother Yang patted her daughter's hand, looking pleased.
He glanced at Yang Dai's belly and wanted to say something. After all, both of Yang Dai's sisters-in-law were pregnant.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Her daughter is so successful now, of course she has to focus on her work, and pregnancy and other things can be put aside for the time being.
"Your father and I have food and drink at home, and we don't have to work every day. You don't have to worry about us." Yang's mother said, thinking of what happened before, and looked at Yang's father.
Father Yang shook his head slightly, and Mother Yang lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
Although the movements of both were very subtle, Yang Dai still noticed it, but Yang's father and mother deliberately did not say anything.
Yang Dai thought that her parents were deliberately hiding the fact that they were not feeling well, so she advised them to go to the hospital for a check-up. She also said that the food factory now had money and had reached a cooperation with the county hospital.
Employees of the food factory and their families can enjoy discounts when they go to the county hospital for medical treatment, so the cost is not much.
"If you really want me to feel at ease, then take some time to go see him." Yang Dai looked at Yang's mother, then at Yang's father, and finally made the final decision, "I'll take you two to the hospital on Sunday when I have a day off."
The two looked a little conflicted, but still nodded in agreement.
Yang Dai did not try to find out what the two men were hiding from her. As long as they were healthy and safe, the rest would be trivial.
As expected, Han Lin was unable to go home on the first day of his business trip, while Yang Dai continued to work.
The new people in the Propaganda Department have started their work, and the office has become much more lively.
We are now holding another meeting to prepare a new propaganda wall. In addition, the Personnel Department and the Women's Federation have come to communicate, and we hope that the Propaganda Department can actively cooperate.
After all, this year is a critical year for the food factory's revival. In just a few months, it has experienced more than other factories have experienced in decades.
Now that the food factory is doing better and better, everyone hopes to hold a gala so that everyone can have fun together.
This party not only has performances, but also includes blind date activities.
The first phase of recruitment for the food factory has come to an end, so there are many more young people in the factory. Allowing these young people to form families through social gatherings and blind dates can also make everyone feel more identified with the food factory.
After several departments reached a cooperation, each of them became busy. Yang Dai, as one of them, was naturally no exception.
This time, Yang Dai's task was to be responsible for the program script. In addition, Yang Dai was also responsible for writing an article about the preparations before the party.
After the party, write an article on the theme of the party.
The first article was mainly circulated within the food factory, while the second article was intended to be reported.
It was Yang Dai’s first time to participate in the preparations for the social gathering and she was also responsible for helping the Women’s Federation form a social gathering, which she found very interesting.
After all, you can witness the blind date of young men and women on the spot.
Yang Dai's side was progressing smoothly. On the other side, in the city, Han Lin and the construction site leader finally met the person in charge of the machinery factory.
In fact, before the two came, they had already contacted the machinery factory in the city, and the factory was very welcoming to their arrival.
After all, pile driver technology is a technology that the machinery factory has only recently studied and improved. According to multiple experimental data, the newly developed pile driver is not only much faster than the previous generation in efficiency, but also has great improvements in depth and flatness.
However, these are only experimental data from the machinery factory and have not yet been used in large-scale production. The machinery factory would certainly welcome anyone who contacts them and is willing to try this new technology.
Therefore, when they arrived at the machinery factory on the first day, after registering and confirming their identities at the door, the two were led into the office building.
At that time, they just said that the leader of the technical department was going to a meeting, and the two of them only needed to wait for a short while before they could see him.
Both the construction site leaders and Han Lin had great hopes for this trip, believing that they could reach a cooperation agreement that day and then return to the county to continue work.
But plans cannot keep up with changes.
The two sat in the office for nearly an hour, but were unable to see the head of the technical department, and even the secretary who was supposed to greet them was nowhere to be found.
After asking around, I found out that there was a new situation in the workshop. One of the production lines suddenly had a problem and there was a full-scale strike. All the technically savvy engineers went to repair it and had no time to entertain two people.
On the first day, the two returned empty-handed.
However, the food factory construction site in the county town was also anxious to start work, and the two of them could not just go back like that, so they had to report to the machinery factory on time.
It was not until the third day that the head of the technical department of the machinery factory had time to meet with Han Lin and the others.
But this time the meeting was not in the office, but in the workshop.
When the two arrived, the head of the technical department was still wearing a safety helmet, studying a huge machine with a group of engineers. He was muttering to himself, and his face was covered with engine oil, but he was unaware of it.
Han Lin stood in front of the machine.
The machine has been in use for some years. Some parts have been rubbed smooth and flat, while some parts are black and have no aesthetic appeal at all.
But when Han Lin stood here at this moment, he felt that the scenery in front of him was shocking.
"We need a more precise valve plug, and according to our calculations, we can definitely replace this part with another one, but we need a new, more precise part here."
"As long as the new parts are adjusted, they will be in place..." The head of the technical department stood in the center of the group and spoke very quickly.
Han Lin originally planned to go up and talk to the head of the technical department, but seeing the other party's expression, he had to stop, feeling a little helpless.
This time they came to the machinery factory to introduce a new pile driver. What they wanted was not only to transport the pile driver to the food factory site to start work, but the machinery factory also needed to dispatch a technician to accompany them and help them learn to use the new pile driver.
But looking at the current situation of the machinery factory, if the production line cannot return to normal, the machinery factory probably has no technical personnel to deploy to them.
When the construction site leaders thought of this situation, they couldn't help but worry.
He asked Han Lin to continue waiting in the workshop, while he called his superiors to see if there was any other solution.
Han Lin didn't know how long he had been standing there. The construction site leader had not come back, and he was completely immersed in the section chief's explanation and description.
"Young man, have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry, we've run into a little trouble here..." The head of the technical department glanced back at the engineer next to him and said, "Take a half-hour break. We'll discuss this again in half an hour."
"Comrade, come here. Let's go to the office to talk." The head of the technical department made a gesture of invitation.
But Han Lin didn't leave. He stopped and thought for a moment. "The problems encountered by the machinery factory this time have relevant case data in the latest issue of a professional journal on mechanical physics."
