Back to 80s, after marrying a rough guy, she has a soft body and a sweet body

Chapter 16 The Insufficiency of Courage
Nothing is too difficult, it is simply difficult!
Hearing the humming sound coming from the room, Dong Ma and Dong Qiu looked at each other and smiled, trying not to make a sound.

This girl said that the wind is the rain, so it's better to teach her a lesson.Anyway, she earned the money by herself, and she would love to waste it any more.

Dong Yanru really didn't expect that without a sewing machine, sewing clothes would be a disaster for her.

She has not systematically learned hand sewing.It is not difficult to simply take a thread, sew a trouser seam and a buttonhole, but the whole dress is hand-sewn, which is a test.

Hearing that Dong Yanru was tinkering with things again, my aunt and cousin came to watch the fun with a woolen basket.

She has always been venomous, and she has to pick out a few faults if she has no faults, let alone this dress made by Dong Yanru, if she can put it on, she will be considered a winner.

"You, you'd better go buy it and wear it honestly. Look, you can ruin this cloth, tsk tsk."

Mama Dong drew strips of strips under the eaves, and she had to be careful while wearing gloves, otherwise she would make a hole if she pulled them.

She didn't raise her eyebrows, she said casually: "You can save the cloth and waste it, it's really not good, you can wear it after your sister sews you a gown."

Dong Qiu was preparing lessons in his own room, covering his mouth and laughing, his shoulders shaking non-stop.

She didn't dare to laugh out loud, because she was afraid that her younger sister would become angry and lose her temper.

"I'm not as knowledgeable as you, I don't believe I can't handle this thing!"

Angrily, she picked up the scissors, untied the thread, and started all over again.

The cousin was too lazy to talk about her, so she turned her head to look at Dong Qiu, and asked Dong Ma in a low voice.

"Qiu'er's marriage, you haven't made any plans yet?"

Mama Dong frowned so much that she could pinch a mosquito to death.

"Qiu'er is a successful person herself. I asked her last year, and she didn't let us care." Mama Dong sighed and lowered her voice, "I heard people say that her partner's father seems to have returned to the city to assign work. I don’t know if it’s because we think Qiu’er is from the countryside.”

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 77, educated youths from all over the country began to return to the city.There are also those who have been suspended for various reasons before, and they are trying to reschedule their jobs as much as possible.

Dong Qiu's boyfriend was originally an educated youth who went to the countryside, and the two had known each other for several years, but Dong Qiu was young at first, so he didn't make it clear.

When the latter two are adults and can talk about marriage, either this family has something to do, or the old man has left.Back and forth until now.Dong Qiu is almost 24 and has no plans to get married yet.

Dong Qiu vaguely heard her mother nagging herself to her aunt, and suddenly felt powerless in her heart.

After writing the last lesson plan, she closed the preparation book and stared blankly for a while before dragging the students' homework for correction.

My mind is in a mess, and the homework that could be corrected quickly in the past took the same amount of time today, only one third of it was corrected.

While the two sisters were immersed in their own worlds, Dong Xiangdong also faced the biggest challenge in his life.

"Wrong, there is a problem with the parameters in this place."

Pei Chang made a cross on a numerical value, and his brows were tightly knit together. Opposite him, Dong Xiangdong had already taken off his coat, only wearing a vest, sweating profusely, and his face was covered with flowers.

Next to Dong Xiangdong was an old man wearing a ripped vest, squatting halfway, bending over to look at the cutout of the machine from the bottom up.

"The calibration is wrong. Cut it like this. At this point, the two openings will be staggered. The cutting knife on the top will be blocked by the notch on the bottom. If it is pressed hard, the knife edge will collapse."

The old man stood up straight and shook his head: "Can't the manufacturer send someone to adjust this machine?"

"This machine is a second-hand imported machine that was eliminated from the south by our factory. They eliminated it because of this problem. After the foreign side sent people to adjust it, they said that there was a problem with the parts and needed to be replaced. But this model They've been discontinued."

Pei Chang didn't believe that the manufacturer didn't have spare parts, and said that if necessary, it could only be customized by hand, obviously because he wanted to make a fortune.

The factory in the south made a comparison, chose to eliminate it, and bought the machines produced by the northern machinery factory. Although they were not as easy to use as the imported ones, they were two-thirds cheaper.

Also because he is a brother with the engineer of the southern factory, he bought this set of equipment at a very favorable price, intending to study whether he can find someone to make replacement parts by himself.

But before that, they had to calibrate the machine to know what went wrong.

Dong Xiangdong knew nothing about machinery and equipment. He only learned coal smelting from his master for a period of time. Later, his master managed to get him to work in a coal factory.Everything is done step by step, and the equipment and him are completely two worlds.

He was a little anxious.If the machine doesn't work, has he been here messing around with them all this time?Then how is his work calculated and how is his salary paid?
Pei Chang handed a copy of the materials to Dong Xiangdong: "You go back to work first, you can read more of this materials, and you can tell me if you have any ideas. I will think it over later, let's try again."

Dong Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hastily.After receiving the materials, I got dressed and went to the workshop.

The old man watched coldly from the side, and after Dong Xiangdong left, he said abruptly: "Do you want to train him?"

"I have this idea, but it depends on him whether he can do it or not. I gave him the opportunity. Whether he can seize it or not is up to him."

Pei Chang took the information and pointed to a piece of data to study with the old man.He can guess how much Dong Xiangdong is thinking, whether to work hard or follow the steps, he will not give him any advice.

Dong Xiangdong returned to the workshop, greeted the director, and went back to his post to continue working.

"Hey, are you back?" Someone said in a strange voice, "I thought Dong Gong had been promoted and would never come back."

A few muffled laughter came from the side, and the man's expression became even more proud.But when he was about to say something more, the team leader came over and gave the man a hard look.

"Did you drank horse urine at noon today? You can't speak human words, right?"

Hearing that the team leader defended Dong Xiangdong, the man didn't continue, but he hummed a few times and looked at Dong Xiangdong with extremely unfriendly eyes.

"Dadong, don't worry about them, these are some pink eyes. You follow Mr. Pei and study hard, and you need to support the little brothers more when you get ahead."

Dong Xiangdong forced a smile, his heart sank a little.

After finally getting off work, he didn't even eat, and hurried home.

When I got home, the family happened to be finishing their meal and preparing to clean up. Seeing him coming back, his face was not good-looking. Mama Dong stepped forward to care about him, but she only said that she was a little tired. She went back to the room and closed the door. She didn't show her face when she went to bed at night.

Dong's mother was anxious, she wanted to knock on the door but she was afraid of disturbing her son's rest, she was so worried that her hair grew a few gray hairs.

"Mom and Dad, you go to rest. I'll be watching. It's okay." Dong Qiu persuaded Dong's father and mother to go back to the room, then went to the kitchen to boil water, and cooked a pot of stewed noodles with the leftovers from the night.

Dong Yanru cleverly helped to knock on the door, and without waiting for the second child to make a sound, he opened the door and went in.

Dong Xiangdong didn't sleep at all, lying on the bed with his eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling in a daze.

Hearing the movement, seeing that it was his elder sister and younger sister coming in, he turned over to face the wall, and dragged the quilt to cover himself.

Dong Qiu put down the basin and wanted to call him, but was stopped by Dong Yanru.

Dong Yanru's sharp eyes saw the documents scattered on the table, and he guessed some of the reasons why the second child was irritable after a quick glance.
