The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 91, Pen and Watch (Please subscribe)

The leader of Wenjin Street personally asked about the reward, and Duan Yunping was already prepared.

However, he didn't say anything about delivering meat to Chen Guohua yesterday evening.

Instead, he offered me a Dongfeng watch as a gift.

At this time, watches were both domestically produced and imported.

Domestic watches generally cost 120 yuan, while imported watches are slightly more expensive, ranging from 150 to three or four hundred.

Of course, no matter what brand of watch it is, you must have a watch ticket.

After hearing this, the leader smiled happily and said:

"Yes, yes, Comrade Chen, you really need a watch, but I think you should own a pen."

As he spoke, the leader took out a box from his pocket.

This is a Parker pen, a foreign brand pen.

Zhang Fengshi, Duan Yunping, Xue Yajun and others all showed surprised expressions after seeing it.

Because this pen is the leader's favorite pen, but he rarely uses it.

This pen will only be used on some important occasions.

In fact, the domestic brand Hero Parker pen is also quite good.

Moreover, such pens are handmade and made of gold, but there are too few models.

In addition, since the beginning of this year, the government has tightened the supply of gold and reduced the production of gold pens.

In addition, the hero's golden pen also showed signs of deinking, so the leader did not take it out as a reward.

"Comrade Xiao Chen, this Parker pen will belong to you from now on. I hope you can use it to write more technical design drafts for our country."

The leader said with a smile, his eyes and tone were extremely serious.

Zhang Fengshi and others applauded and cheered at the right time, but Chen Guohua could only accept it solemnly.

It can be seen that the leader has high expectations for him.

At this time, he felt that his blood was boiling all over, and he seemed to understand why many people in later generations would say that this was a time of burning passion.

Maybe in his daily life, Chen Guohua only feels the fireworks of the world. How can he have any passion?

After all, no matter how much passion you have, it will be criticized to pieces by the trivial matters in life.

Let's just say Zhao Yuzhi, as a widow, is a very common type of person in this era.

I work in the factory every day. After a tiring day, I have to face four children when I get home.

If the children were all well-behaved and well-behaved, cooking and cleaning the house, Zhao Yuzhi would definitely be very pleased.

However, in fact, young children, no matter how sensible they are, cannot resist being playful and noisy.

Either the rice was cooked today, or I failed in the exam tomorrow.

It won't stop for a few days, and the children will give you something to do, which is very annoying.

So many trivial things are piled up one after another, but they cannot break out and can only endure it.

So who would still be passionate at this time?

Chen Guohua was born in two generations, and he only worked half a day of work, so he received preferential treatment from the factory leaders.

Naturally, I am not 100% integrated into this passionate factory life.

Only at this time can Chen Guohua feel it.

Maybe the words spoken by the leaders are very ordinary words, but they are very contagious.

Therefore, almost in an instant, Chen Guohua can feel this great era, burning his passion, and eager to contribute all his strength.

Chen Guohua, who had goosebumps all over the floor, nodded firmly and agreed to the leader's words.

Then the leader left, and Duan Yunping took out the reward from the factory, a domestic Dongfeng brand watch.

Lao Duan also gave a speech, encouraging Chen Guohua to continue his efforts and create greater glories.

After taking the watch, Chen Guohua put it on his wrist under the urging of everyone.

Not to mention, having this watch is really convenient.

It has been half a year since he traveled back to this era, and Chen Guohua has become accustomed to the days when he has no sense of time.

After all, he always looks at the sun to roughly judge the time. Otherwise, he just looks at the big clock wherever there is one.

Now that I have a watch, I can check the time anytime I want.

Speaking of which, when he was in the pigeon market before, he picked up a watch ticket from the wallet of Erdao dealer.

It's just that he hasn't used this watch ticket yet. After all, the watch ticket is valid for half a year.

It seems to have almost expired, so it should be used now.

Chen Guohua did almost nothing this morning.

At noon, we had another meal in a small booth in the cafeteria.

After dinner, he went back to the courtyard.

This time when I returned to Courtyard No. 98, I didn’t attract the attention of the neighbors.

After all, the watch is not so conspicuous compared to the [-] big bars.

However, Chen Xiaoyue and the other three little ones immediately noticed the watch on their eldest brother's wrist.

In an instant, the three little ones started shouting.

Especially knowing that this watch was awarded by the leader of their eldest brother, I was even happier.

"Okay, okay, don't be envious. Don't we still have a watch ticket at home? It's almost expired now. Let's use it now."

"Really? Then who is Brother buying it for?"

Chen Xiaomin immediately exclaimed, all he had to say was to wear it for her.

It's a pity that she's such a little kid, let's forget it. It's a good thing if she doesn't lose it. She still wants to wear a watch?

The second child was also looking forward to it, but Chen Guohua said:

"We'll buy a ladies' watch when we come back, and I'll give it to your second sister to keep for safekeeping, but try not to take it out in case it's lost."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoyue jumped up on the spot, extremely happy.

Watch!
Although she can't wear it out, I leave it to her for safekeeping.

Moreover, she rarely goes out, so isn't it nice to be a homebody at home?

Although Xiaomei and Xiaomin were a little disappointed, this was expected.

After all, their second sister is much older than them, so it is only normal for her to keep it.

So, the four brothers and sisters discussed it and went out to buy watches.

As soon as they went out, Hu Derong and other half-grown men were waiting in the yard.

At this time, everyone also noticed the difference in Chen Guohua's wrist.

Gee, it’s so dazzling!

After chatting for a while, Hu Derong and his three siblings also followed them to the department store.

On the contrary, Jiang Tangshi, Aunt Wang, Aunt Jiang and others are all just like lemons.

Yesterday, Secretary Duan personally came to deliver sausages and pork. Today, Chen Guohua received another reward of a watch.

Did Chen Guohua really make any outstanding contributions?

Otherwise, why did you receive so many rewards?

Needless to say, Jiang Tangshi and other neighbors were completely upset.

On Wangfujing Street, across the street from Dong'an Market, a six-story building stands.

This is the Capital Department Store.

It doesn’t take much time to walk from No. 98 Nanluogu Lane.

Chen Guohua did not ride a bicycle. After all, he could not carry his three sisters alone.

What's more, Hu Derong and the other children were also following, so there was no need to come here on bicycles.

After entering the department store, the group went straight to the area where watches were sold.

Neighbors like Hu Derong were all very excited.

Those who didn’t know thought they were buying watches.

Regarding the source of the watch tickets, Hu Derong and the others did not ask, nor did Chen Guohua say anything.

If a neighbor really asks, the four brothers and sisters of the Chen family will unanimously give the same standard answer: It was rewarded by the leader.

The neighbors didn't know how to do it anyway, and they didn't dare to confront Secretary Duan.

What's more, in a few days, the BAIC manufacturing plant will announce Chen Guohua's affairs.

By then Wang Yuanlong, Jiang Shicheng and other neighbors will know what is going on.

"Hello, comrade, could you please take this Chunlei brand women's watch?"

In front of the watch counter, Chen Guohua pointed to one of the domestic watches and said to the staff.

Before coming, he introduced the current watch brand to Chen Xiaoyue.

You definitely can’t buy imported watches because the brand and specific model are already specified on the watch ticket.

The limited effective date is July 25, [-].

When Chen Guohua got the watch tickets, it was already early February. At that time, he had just brought the three little ones back to the capital, and the Spring Festival had not yet arrived.

"Bring out the ticket, there's still 120 yuan left!"

The staff member said angrily:

"You don't want to take the ticket or money, but you want to buy a watch? What good thing are you thinking of?"

This attitude is indeed not very friendly!
Just because it's after two o'clock in the afternoon, the sleepiest time in summer, and the staff are taking a nap.

It is normal for the staff who disturbed their sweet dreams to feel angry when they wake up.

Chen Guohua was too lazy to care about this with the other party, and just treated it as farts.

He directly took out the watch ticket and money and handed them to the other party.

The children such as San Xiaozhi, Hu Derong and others became quieter and less excited.

"Is this going to expire soon?"

The staff member who took the money and tickets muttered, but still took out a watch from the counter.

Chunlei brand watches are produced in Magic City. After all, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still many factories in Magic City.

Shiliyangchang, it's normal.

"Would you like me to help you adjust the time?"

After taking out the watch, the staff's attitude became slightly better.

Chen Guohua shook his head and refused.

"Thank you, no need. I can adjust the time myself."

As he spoke, he shook the watch on his wrist, then took the Spring Bud watch and started playing with it.

The three little ones next to them immediately surrounded their eldest brother.

This watch is so classy.

Not to mention the three little ones that came out of Majiafeng. Even children in the city like Hu Derong and others rarely see watches.

Hu Derong and her eldest brother Hu Dexiang, even though he is a canteen purchaser, have not yet obtained a watch ticket.I guess this guy knows how to keep a low profile, or he was 'cheated' too much by Zhao Yuzhi before, so he hasn't bought a watch yet.

For buyers, it is actually very easy to get a watch for such a position.

What's more, Hu Dexiang is such a trouble-making person.

The staff looked at Chen Guohua's skillful movements and opened their mouths in surprise.

Is this young man so powerful?

Not long after, Chen Guohua adjusted the time on his watch.

As for a mechanical watch, it can easily stop when it doesn't move.

"Here, put it on and keep it safe in the future."

After adjusting the time, Chen Guohua handed the watch to Lao Er and asked her to put it on herself.

She was so excited that her pretty face turned red with excitement, and she almost lost her grip and dropped her watch.

Anxiety made her even more cautious.

Xiaomei and Xiaomin were so envious that they surrounded their second sister and stared intently at their second sister's wrist.

After buying the watch, everyone did not go back, but continued to wander around the department store.

However, after shopping for less than half an hour, Chen Xiaoyue got bored.

Because her two younger sisters would ask once every half a minute or so: "What time is it, second sister?"

The first few times, Chen Xiaoyue was very excited and answered very patiently.

Gradually, she became impatient and handed her wrist over to them to see.

Until now, she didn't want to go shopping at all.

There was nothing I could do. I kept pestering her to ask what time it was, almost turning her into a timekeeper.

You obviously asked less than 2 minutes ago, so you ask again?
And the eldest brother next to me was also there. After asking the eldest brother, he asked the second sister, and after asking the second sister, he asked the eldest brother again.

Really, enough is enough!

Hu Derong, his three siblings, Jiang Yuanchao and other children were not only envious but envious.

Even when shopping in a department store, other passers-by cast envious glances.

The capital has a population of more than 600 million, and most of them are ordinary people.

At this time, only a few people can wear watches on the street.

What's more, Chen Xiaoyue is still a 13-year-old girl?
Since you don’t want to continue shopping, then go home and study.

Hearing what her elder brother said, Chen Xiaoyue suddenly regretted: Is it too late for me to take back what I just said?

It's definitely too late!

The three little ones had to go home and study.

In the evening, Uncle Wang Yuanlong came home from get off work. When he got home, he heard that Chen Guohua had been rewarded with a watch by the factory leader. He almost became autistic.

In just half a year, how many rewards has Chen Guohua received?

A bicycle, a watch, various kinds of meat, etc., as well as a monthly ration of [-] kilograms of cooking oil.

People are more mad than people!

Jiang Shicheng also arrived home and also heard about Chen Guohua being awarded a watch.

As soon as he arrived at the yard, he heard Chen Xiaomin's voice:
"Second sister, what time is it now?"

Good guy, she is playing the handkerchief throwing game with Wang Aidi and other little brats.

I was playing around and suddenly asked loudly what time it was. Are you afraid that others wouldn't know that you have a watch at home?

Fang Hongqiang, who had just come back from outside, was stunned for a moment when he heard these words.

Soon, he found out about the watch, and his mood suddenly changed.

He now works outside as a temporary worker every day. He works extremely hard and only earns two or three cents a day.

As a result, now I heard that a girl like Chen Xiaoyue has a watch?

It’s amazing to have a balance in your heart!

Based on his current salary as a temporary worker, which is nine yuan a month, it would take him about 120 months without food or water to save enough [-] yuan.

However, as a temporary worker, how could he be allowed to continue working for fourteen months?

As for when I will have a formal job, it depends on God's arrangement.

Under night, in the west wing of the backyard, at the Fang family’s dining table.

Aunt Fang, Fang Hongqiang, Fang Hongming and others sat together, as well as this little kid Fang Runtu.

"Mom, what do you think about me asking Chen Guohua to teach me techniques?"

While eating the steamed buns, Fang Hongqiang suddenly felt hard to swallow and asked coldly.

"If they are willing to teach you, of course I have no problem with it. The question is, why should they teach you?"

Aunt Fang, who gave her eldest grandson Fang Runtu a bun, was surprised and said calmly.

It's not that she is attacking her eldest son, but that Chen Guohua is very busy, not to mention that the college entrance examination is about to take place.

Furthermore, the Fang family had nothing to offer, so how could they let Chen Guohua teach them?
This issue has been discussed a long time ago, but now it is just an old matter brought up again.

"Brother, I support your idea, but brother, you just graduated from high school. Don't you have a headache when you read?"

Fang Hongming echoed the words, which were also offensive.

The courage that Fang Hongqiang finally mustered up suddenly dissipated in an instant.

Yes, he had a headache when he read. Otherwise, he would have finished junior high school no matter what.

Hu Dexiang, who is the same age as him, came from a junior high school education and is now a buyer. He should not be too happy in his childhood.

"Uncle, come on!"

Fang Runtu, who was at the dining table, suddenly shouted, which made the atmosphere in the room much better.

The little guy is the son of his younger brother Fang Hongming, a poor baby who accidentally landed in their house.

When Fang Hongming was studying, he had an affair and had a relationship with his classmate.

Accidentally, the child Fang Runtu was born.

Originally, Fang Runtu's mother wanted to marry him, but her parents' family disagreed.

She even wanted to abort the child, but she gave birth anyway.

But later, Fang Runtu's mother was picked up by her parents' family.

At that time, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital was still quite chaotic.

The next year after he was picked up, Fang Runtu and his mother's family all moved south.

Until now, Fang Runtu has never seen his mother again.

Chen Guohua didn't know what happened in the Fang family.

The reason why many people are ordinary people is because they lack execution ability.

After all, for many things, you don’t know whether they will have results until you do them.

If you make more preparations based on action, the success rate will be higher.

However, many people just stay at this level of thinking, and even more people only complain about life instead of taking action.

By the time they are 40 or [-] years old, they may have figured it out, but they lack the courage.

In the next few days, Chen Guohua's life was no different from before.

It seems that the technology of tooth grinding machine has never happened, and even the leaders have forgotten about it.

Chen Guohua focused on his own affairs and tried his best to teach Meng Xiaochan and the others well.

Until that day, Yu Jianchuan came over and called Chen Guohua, who followed him to a large office and saw leader Duan Yunping and curious eyes.

There are at least a hundred people in the entire office, and everyone is sitting together in a dense crowd. Just looking at them makes people feel more stressed.

Duan Yunping smiled and introduced the situation to Chen Guohua. In fact, a large group of people sitting in the conference room were all people who came to learn technology.

They are all leaders and technicians from other parts of the country.

A small screw, but it has a big effect.

Just one BAIC manufacturing plant cannot capture the country's huge market.

The task given above is to bring out technologies such as tooth grinding machines in exchange for the resources of the BAIC manufacturing plant.

This resource tilt not only includes raw materials, the share of imported machinery, etc., but also talent and other aspects.

For example, today's BAIC manufacturing plant even started using its seal on July [-]nd.

Various talents are still being deployed.

July happens to be the graduation season, and college students in many places have just graduated.

Then these local units coming from all over the country will definitely be willing to use resources such as college student quotas in exchange for the technology of tooth grinding machines.

Otherwise, if you are being prostituted for free, not to mention Duan Yunping, Xue Yajun and others will not agree, even Zhang Fengshi from the Automobile Industry Administration Bureau will not agree.

In the future, if BAIC Manufacturing Plant wants to surpass Changchun No. [-] Automobile Manufacturing Plant, it can only take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune!

If you miss this opportunity, things will not be so good in the future.

Although Chen Guohua didn't know much about the transactions behind these, he probably guessed it.

Teaching these technicians was in itself part of the question, and it was his own job, so he had no dissatisfaction.

Although, according to the inventions and creations of later generations, Chen Guohua should have received more.

But now is the 50s, an era of planned economy, and Chen Guohua can only stare.

What's more, even in later generations, there is a saying that 'get rich first and bring wealth later'!
He didn't have too complicated ideas and started teaching these people right there in the conference room.

Among the entire set of design drawings, most of the mold design drawings are very simple and do not require him to explain them.

Only machines and machine tools that are slightly more technically complex, such as tooth rolling machines, require technical explanations.

Most of the technicians in the conference room are ordinary students, a few are academic masters, but there are definitely no scumbags.

If there is a scumbag, Chen Guohua will definitely not let the other party continue to ask questions.

One morning passed, and Chen Guohua's work was finished.

At noon, we no longer eat in a cubicle, but eat together in the cafeteria.

There is no way, there are too many technicians.

Therefore, an area was designated in the cafeteria specifically to entertain these comrades who came from afar.

According to Duan Yunping, after he takes the college entrance examination, comrades from more remote places will come over.

There are five batches in total.

It can also be seen from here that there are quite a few factories producing screws across the country.

Chen Guohua just doesn't understand why these places produce such tooth grinding machines?
Are there really so many factories?
You must know that it is only [-] years ago, and almost all the heavy industry in the country is concentrated in the north.

In the south, only places like Magic City and Wuyang City still have some industrial foundation, but other places have very little.

"Forget it, let's eat. These are not things I should think about. Why do you think so much?"

Chen Guohua shook his head and buried himself in his rice, but he always got toasted.

Lao Chongguang, Meng Xiaochan and others who came to the cafeteria to eat saw Chen Guohua drinking, and they were all envious.

If Chen Guohua knew that they envied him, he would definitely say: This wine actually doesn't taste good at all.
