Learning is out of the question. Even if Song Qing really wanted to, Liu Jun probably wouldn't be willing to pass on his experience to her.
There were three groups in total, with three people in each group. Every day, they experimented with different proportions of raw materials to produce fabrics, compared their properties, and finally selected the appropriate proportions.
Song Qing and Zhao Qin were both selected to work in the experimental workshop. They were not in the same group, but both had contact with Liu Jun.
Zhao Qin also disliked this Comrade Liu; he seemed to look down on the technicians from their family compound.
She had a question she wanted to ask him last time, but as soon as she took her notebook over, Liu Jun frowned, clearly unwilling to deal with her.
Zhao Qin took a deep breath and didn't argue with him. Instead, she took the question and asked other technicians.
“Director Zhang gave us the same quantity on the order form, but after his group used up the raw materials that day, they didn’t go to Director Zhang to get a new order. They just took the raw materials we had just brought back.”
Zhao Qin gets angry whenever this is brought up. She personally went to the warehouse to retrieve the fabric and clearly remembered that she put it there, but when she turned around, it was gone.
"You know our technician Ke, she's very serious, and she thought I hadn't gone to the warehouse to get the fabric at all."
Finally, Zhao Qin went to the warehouse again, only to be asked to show the order slip to her, and told that they had already picked up all the orders.
She could only go to Director Zhang to get another order, but Director Zhang was out of the factory that day. In the end, Song Qing's group saw that they still had a lot of raw materials and let them take their order to pick them up.
That's how she managed to save her life thanks to Technician Ke.
Normally, if Liu Jun hadn't said anything, no one would have known about this. But someone was wondering why there was still material left, since their group used it up so quickly.
"Our group also ran out, and someone else's was lying there, so we just grabbed it and used it."
Zhao Qin was standing right next to her. "I was in such a hurry just now, I practically turned the whole testing workshop upside down, and you didn't say a word."
Liu Jun simply said, "I thought you saw it."
Zhao Qin was so angry at his words that she almost vomited blood.
In any case, they all developed a grudge against Liu Jun shortly after they started their careers.
Every time I sit down, I have to complain for a long time, and what's even more outrageous is that the content of my complaints is different every time.
Lu Yang tidied up all the firewood, collected the dried stalks from the vegetable garden, and even went out for a while. When he came back, the two of them were still sitting in the yard.
He overheard them talking about Liu Jun again.
In the end, it was Zhao Qin's twins who came to find her, saying they were hungry and hadn't made dinner yet, so she went home.
Song Qing didn't expect the two of them to chat for so long. It's true that annoying colleagues can always spark people's enthusiasm for conversation.
Lu Yang quickly handed her a glass of water, saying, "You women are really not to be trifled with. If you mess with someone, you'll nag them for ten days or half a month."
Song Qing rolled her eyes at him. "What do you know?"
Lu Yang touched his nose and waited for her to finish drinking the water before taking the cup back into the house.
"For dinner, we'll stir-fry that pheasant and some greens."
This time, they caught two pheasants, one on each side. Lu Yang had just cleaned them up and put them in the kitchen. He also washed the plucked feathers clean, preparing to make a shuttlecock for his daughter.
"Anything is fine"
There was still a while before dinner, and the scraps of cloth they brought back were still in the main room. In the past few days, she had only made one dress for Aunt Tian.
Since she had some free time, she decided to tidy up the fabric.
The apples in their yard were ripe, not big but plentiful, but they couldn't resist picking them as soon as they started to turn slightly brown. Song Qing even scolded the father and daughter for wasting things.
The remaining fruit was given to the neighbors on both sides and Sister Fang, some was also given to Director Zhang, and a basket was picked for Aunt San's family. The last few fruits were left on the tree.
Because An'an said she wanted to eat apples that had just been picked from the tree, Lu Yang, though somewhat helpless, still left the apples at the bottom.
Is the kitten in heat?
Song Qing went back into the house and looked around but didn't find the kitten, nor was it in the kitchen. Come to think of it, she had rarely seen it at home these days.
"Um?"
"The little male cat is about the right age to go into heat, and I'm worried it will run away and not come back."
Male cats often go out after they go into heat, and it's not uncommon for them not to come back.
Lu Yang frowned. An An loved this cat so much. If it really ran away and never came back, she would be heartbroken.
Song Qing originally planned to make an autumn outfit for An'an, but she found a piece of white fabric inside. Everyone in the family had new clothes except for Lu Yang.
"Come here."
Lu Yang was still considering whether to find a veterinarian to castrate the kitten, so that it wouldn't run around and wouldn't get into any accidents or be caught by others.
However, since they were both of the same gender, he felt that this was too cruel and was hesitating when he heard Song Qing call him to come inside quickly.
"come over"
Song Qing took out a tape measure to measure his measurements, but Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and glanced at it. "For me?"
The question "For me" is a rhetorical one.
He smiled, then sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) with his arms outstretched.
Song Qing first measured the length of his arm, and when she was about to measure the width of his shoulder, the man hadn't even retracted his outstretched hand before he directly closed it and hugged her in his arms.
Let go
Lu Yang didn't let go; Song Qing's hand was still on his shoulder, and she pinched it.
Even with his thick skin, he didn't feel any pain. Instead, he shamelessly leaned in and kissed her cheek.
Song Qing glared at him. Her daughter was running in and out every day. If she happened to come back and see the two of them like this, she would like to see how Lu Yang would explain himself.
After fooling around for a while, Lu Yang finally obediently sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and let her finish measuring the data.
"An'an's birthday is coming up soon, how should we celebrate it for her?"
An'an was born in October 1968, and her birthday is just around the corner.
Lu Yang valued this birthday very much, as it was the first time he had celebrated his daughter's birthday with her.
"We're going to the zoo anyway, so I'll make her a new dress. How about we go to Auntie's for dinner?"
Lu Yang nodded, but since Song Qing was making clothes for her, he, as her father, hadn't yet decided what to give her as a gift.

The next day at work, Song Qing went to inspect the machines under her supervision as usual. The workers all recognized her and greeted her.
Good morning, Technician Song.
"morning!"
After inspecting the machine, she was about to enter the testing workshop when she unexpectedly saw an acquaintance standing at the door waiting for her.
Since becoming a worker, Zhou Shuyi's appearance has changed drastically, mainly her spirit and energy.
Now, dressed in the textile factory's uniform, he looks radiant, and with his upcoming wedding, a happy smile graces his face.
She and Lin Haiping had long planned to get married. Now that they were both workers, their circumstances were much better than before, so they decided to get married.
She smiled at Song Qing as she approached and handed her a handwritten invitation.
