The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 98: Existing in name only (please subscribe)
In early August, BAIC Manufacturing Plant.

In a workshop, many workers were carrying equipment, and six young people stood there and watched at a loss.

At this moment, Chen Guohua walked in.

"Comrade Hua and Comrade Shi, please stop standing around and clean up your offices quickly."

"Okay, Team Leader Chen."

Hua Juzuo, Shi Xinpu, Wu Liyi, Li Shoutong, Qian Zhenpeng and Deng Yunqiu heard this and quickly followed Chen Guohua.

These six people are college students who came to the capital from all over the country, and they are all the proud sons of heaven.

After arriving at the BAIC manufacturing plant, Fan Xinhe first assisted them with the entry procedures.

Then he was transferred to this workshop, and from then on it was under the management of Chen Guohua.

Duan Yunping, the leader, kept his word back then.

Chen Guohua was not only assigned six college students as assistants, but also equipped with [-] workers to help build the so-called BAIC Parts Research Group.

It is currently just a research group, but the staffing is already quite luxurious.

After all, six college students would be quite explosive in many places.

The team leader is Chen Guohua, and the deputy team leaders are Hua Juzuo and the other six.

"Our research group has just been established, and everyone knows that our task is very heavy, so we won't talk more politely."

In the workshop, after a brief cleaning of the temporarily moved desks, Chen Guohua called everyone together and said a few words:

"Currently, the above has shipped us two types of equipment: a punch press and a bending machine. The raw materials for the leaf springs haven't arrived yet, but it doesn't matter. We'll start with these two types of equipment."

"I have already produced the design drawings."

"Comrade Hua, Comrade Shi, the six of you are divided into two groups. Give you three days to thoroughly understand these drawings, and then guide the workers to start upgrading."

The two types of equipment, punch press and bending machine, are not that simple.

Chen Guohua was still worried about whether three days would be enough.

But Duan Yunping had just said that he hoped that Chen Guohua could show results within half a year.

Otherwise, even he, the leader, would not be able to support Chen Guohua.

Now, Chen Guohua's salary and position have been paid according to the salary level for college graduates, effective from August.

Originally, he was on the salary standard for a technician at the fifteenth level, but now he is at the salary standard for a technician at the thirteenth level.

That is a monthly salary of 55 yuan.

Hua Juzuo and the other six people are paid according to the salary standard of level 48 technicians, which is [-] yuan and [-] cents per month.

However, according to Chen Guohua's estimation, if there are no problems, they can reach the thirteenth level salary standard in about half a year.

After receiving the design drawings, Hua Juzuo and others' eyes widened.

The six of them are the proud sons of heaven, and they are new here. When Duan Yunping introduced Chen Guohua as their team leader, everyone was still very unconvinced.

Why?

Chen Guohua has a childish face, he is obviously a high school student, but he is actually managing these college students?
Unconvinced!
But then Duan Yunping briefly introduced Chen Guohua's two major achievements in the BAIC manufacturing plant, and Hua Juzuo and the others immediately lost their temper.

It's a good thing now. As soon as the top leader left, Chen Guohua immediately gave everyone a slap in the face?

Hua Juzuo and the others were also tough and nodded to indicate there was no problem.

Isn't it just the improvement drawings of the punch press and the bending machine? These college students can't get enough of it?
Seeing that they were all immersed in their work, Chen Guohua left the workshop.

It was only Duan Yunping, the leader, who had the courage to transform the workshop into a research group, and Chen Guohua's previous achievements, that made the current research group possible.

However, it is obvious that Chen Guohua has more and more things to be busy with.

After a busy day at the factory, he rode his bicycle back to Cuihua Hutong in the evening.

The new family has moved here, and the two houses in Courtyard No. 98 are still there.

It is estimated that after a period of time, the rice in the basement is emptied, and then the BAIC factory will take it back.

As for who will be arranged in the future, Chen Guohua is too lazy to pay attention.

As soon as they entered the small courtyard, Yun Wanshang was tutoring Chen Xiaoyue and the others in writing. Next to them, Yu Moli was also reading.

Gan Rushuang is also here, and the house is particularly lively.

The second courtyard next to it was taken by Yun Wanchang, but she rarely lived there.

After settling on the house, Chen Gonglu took his daughter-in-law, grandson and daughter back to Jinling, leaving only Yun Wanshang in the capital.

However, Lao Chen also decided to apply for a job transfer from Leader Xu and strive to return to the capital within this year.

As for early retirement, Lao Chen can't do that.

After all, he is serving in the army. No matter what, he has to work until he is 60 years old before retiring.

What's more, many army cadres are already 70 or [-] years old and have not yet retired.

Because few people are willing to retire, and they are also afraid that their bodies will collapse quickly after retirement.

This is not alarmist, this has really happened.

The most important thing is that now is the time for national development and construction, and talent is urgently needed. Naturally, talented people will not be allowed to retire easily.

"Brother is back, aunt, can we finish class?"

Hearing the sound of parking at the door, Chen Xiaomin quickly stood up and stuck her head out. After confirming that it was her eldest brother who had returned, she turned back to Yun Wanshang and asked.

They didn't call Yun Wanshang mother, just aunt.

Even when calling Gan Rushuang, she also calls her Second Aunt.

"Okay, get out of class is over."

When Yun Wanchang heard this, she smiled and got up and went out.

"Then I'll cook."

Chen Xiaoyue quickly put down her pen and happily ran to the kitchen to work.

She prefers cooking and other things to studying.

Among the three sisters, except for Chen Xiaomei, the second and youngest are relatively resistant to studying.

But it was fine before, but now that Yun Wanshang is staying at home and staring at them every day, life is much more difficult.

Gan Rushuang and Yu Moli, mother and daughter, got up and went back at this time.

Chen Guohua wanted to persuade them to stay, but they still had to go back.

The two families live not too far apart, so riding a bicycle is faster.

During dinner in the evening, Yun Wanshang suddenly asked Chen Guohua when he was going to marry Yu Moli.
The latter almost choked, so he went to the kitchen to pick up a spoon and took a sip before he calmed down a little.

"Mom, I'm only 17 years old now. How can anyone get married at this age? Isn't the legal wedding date now all 20 years old?"

He also clearly understood why the other party asked this question.

Maybe it's a temptation, maybe it's something else, but the purpose is to hope that he can get married soon.

why?

Needless to say, there are only two young children in the old Chen family, namely him and Chen Yuanchao. The latter is only nine years old.

Chen Gonglu and Yun Wanshang probably wanted to see Chen Guohua flourish.

Even if there are many sons, one or two can be adopted to the second and third children.

Although it is now a new society in New China, many people still have the old ideas of Chen Gonglu and Yun Wanshang, and they are still the mainstream among them.

However, Chen Guohua understood, but it was difficult to accept getting married so early.

Seeing his reaction, Yun Wanchang had no choice but to give up and said nothing more.

Time flies, and a few more days have passed.

Chen Guohua, who had not yet waited for the admission notice from Peking University, received something that was not good news.

That day he came to the BAIC manufacturing plant, stayed in the second design department for a while, and then came to the workshop where the research team was located.

Three days have passed long ago, but Hua Juzuo and the others have not yet thoroughly studied the drawing.

Just when Chen Guohua wanted to say something, Duan Yunping led several people to the workshop.

"Leader, you are welcome to inspect."

Chen Guohua smiled and greeted him politely, but Duan Yunping did not greet him politely, and frowned directly:

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry. We can't get the leaf spring raw materials your workshop needs."

Forehead?
"Leader, what happened?" Chen Guohua looked surprised, but he understood in his heart.

It is August [-], and there is only one thing that may happen in the near future.

That means steelmaking is about to start all over the country, and there is a shortage of steel everywhere.

The first to receive the news were companies like BAIC Manufacturing Plant.

Therefore, at this time, the high-sounding reason "the country is poor and needs to save" appeared.

Many studies had to be terminated or their progress slowed down.

"Well, you probably don't know yet. You'll find out after reading the newspaper in a few days."

Duan Yunping nodded solemnly and said:

"In this case, your department will stop studying these things for the time being. You all will assist in the production of Jingcheng brand luxury cars and try to complete the production tasks before mid-September."

Chen Guohua nodded upon hearing this, but Hua Juzuo and the other six were immediately confused.

It's only been a few days since this started, and they're changing jobs again?
On the contrary, the workers in the workshop beamed with joy when they heard the news.

In comparison, they are definitely more inclined to the production areas they are familiar with, rather than the current research and development area.

Even though the jobs are pretty much the same.

But in the R&D workshop, you have to dance with shackles, and every move must be performed under the command of Chen Guohua, Li Shou and others.

Once they make a mistake, or it is easy to make a mistake, their self-confidence will be completely shattered over time.

"Okay, leader, we have no problem. Let's go back to the production workshop."

Chen Guohua nodded and agreed very simply.

If there is a problem in the factory, we can arrange it as the superiors say.

When something like this happened, Duan Yunping was probably more depressed and speechless than anyone else.

It was obviously a project he had launched long ago, but now it has died halfway. Who can he ask to reason with?
At noon, Chen Guohua was preparing to make a meal in the canteen when he was suddenly called to the cubicle by Yu Jianchuan.

Hua Juzuo, Li Shoutong, Deng Yunqiu and others who were following him were all startled.

These six college students, no matter where they are in school or anywhere, are always the focus of the crowd.

But since he came to the BAIC Manufacturing Plant, all of these have been outshone by Chen Guohua.

At this time, a group of men and women came next to Hua Juzuo and the others.

"This guy Guohua can earn a living again. The leader is really nice to him."

"Isn't this normal? Since he finished his college entrance examination, he finally stayed in the cafeteria to eat, but we haven't seen him eat in the cafeteria a few times."

"I don't know what kind of food is eaten in the booth. I really want to try it." "It must have meat. You can pass by the booth later. I'm sure you can smell several kinds of meat."

"Tch, so what if you smell it? You still can't eat it? Do you think you are Chen Guohua?"

The conversation between Lao Chongguang, Meng Xiaochan, Lin Cuiqing and others immediately surprised Hua Juzuo and others.

The six college students looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

It seems that you should stop comparing yourself with Chen Guohua, otherwise, you will definitely be depressed.

In the small cubicle, Xue Yajun, Bai Lichun and other second-in-command leaders are all here.

When the second-in-command saw Chen Guohua coming in, he quickly waved to him to sit next to him.

The latter gave in, but was still summoned by Xue Yajun.

When the other leaders saw this scene, they smiled, but they were not sure how to bury Tai.

Only Bai Lichun would feel happy, after all, no matter what, Chen Guohua was his.

Lunch officially began, and Lao Xue raised his glass and invited everyone to take a sip.

As for why he is so happy, you don't need to ask. It must be because the top leader is in trouble.

"Xiao Chen, I heard that your research team has been put on hold for the time being?"

No, Xue Yajun asked as soon as he put down the cup.

Obviously he already knew, but he still asked, Chen Guohua was quite speechless.

"Yes, leader, I was just notified this morning."

He didn't make any subjective comments, only the facts.

"Oh, this is such a pity. Why did such a good project disappear?"

Xue Yajun also said something pretentious, which was quite a comedy of 'crocodile tears'.

Bai Lichun and other leaders all couldn't help laughing.

This topic didn’t last long, and everyone knew about it anyway.

Afterwards, Xue Yajun started a family affair with Chen Guohua.

The latter thought that today's dinner was just to celebrate the fact that the "R&D team existed in name only" and was causing trouble for Lao Duan.

So, he started chatting with Lao Xue all the time.

Regarding the matter of his biological parents, Xue Yajun personally came to Bai Lichun's office a few days ago, called Chen Guohua in, and learned about it in detail.

Now while we were chatting, we started talking about the studies of Chen Guohua's three younger sisters.

It will soon be the start of the school season in September. Chen Xiaoyue should also go to school by then, right?

In this regard, Chen Guohua said that she would indeed be allowed to go to school in September.

At that time, I will go directly to the second grade of junior high school.

She is already 13 years old. If she doesn't study, she will be old.

According to Chen Guohua's plan for the second child, he actually hopes that she can become an accountant in the future.

When it comes to being a sewing worker, he definitely doesn't want his sister to have such a hard life.

After chatting for a while, Xue Yajun suddenly asked:

"Xiao Chen, do you have any other ideas recently? For example, is there anything that can be improved on the Jingcheng brand luxury sedan we are currently producing?"

Is this another attempt to get back in front of Lao Duan?

Chen Guohua said to himself, Lao Xue, you are such a thief.

The R&D team that Mr. Duan had just formed was announced to be "in name only" in the morning, and there is no guarantee when it will be restored.

He immediately followed up. If Lao Duan knew about it, he wouldn't necessarily be angry.

"Boss, you also know that during the recent period, whether at home or in the factory, I have a lot of things to do, and I have no time to think about other things."

This may seem like a shirk, but in fact it means he doesn't want to get involved in the 'infighting' between the first and second leaders.

No matter what, he definitely couldn't take the initiative to participate in it.

He can only be 'forced' to participate.

Sure enough, Xue Yajun heard this and said that Xiao Chen, you should not spend so much time on the next matter in the production workshop.

If I have time, I will stay in the second design department.

"Xiao Chen, your brain is so smart, it shouldn't be wasted in the production workshop."

"Your stage is on design drawings and inventions."

"Recently, there is a shortage of talents and steel everywhere, but it doesn't matter. If Xiao Chen has any difficulties, you can tell me directly."

Lao Xue is drawing pie again.

If Chen Guohua has any difficulties, even if he speaks out, Lao Xue won't be able to solve them.

For example, a better working environment and better design tools.

This meal was not so successful.

But Chen Guohua is also used to it. Anyway, every time he comes to eat, he will almost always receive a work assignment.

There is a saying that 'those who are able work hard', it is nothing more than this.

After the meal, Chen Guohua and Bai Lichun walked back to the Second Design Department, chatting while walking.

The latter means what Lao Xue just said, just do what you can. There is no need to put so much pressure on yourself.

He also said, Guohua, you are still young and have a bright future. Don’t go astray at this time.
"Director, I know what to do next. Even if I want quick success, I still have to have this ability."

Chen Guohua is not eager for quick success at all. He is quite satisfied with his current life.

At present, he is still close to getting married and having children, and his job is very stable.

The next step is to earn a little money steadily, and then save enough food before [-], and everything will be fine.

Originally, he only needed to save enough food for the four brothers and sisters, but that was not possible now.

With the addition of Yu Moli, her family affairs can be regarded as his business.

There are also his parents, eldest sister-in-law, seventh sister, and eldest nephew. Chen Guohua must also consider them.

Perhaps many people do not understand what natural and man-made disasters mean and what halving food supply means.

But Chen Guohua looked up relevant texts through his brain's biological hard drive.

The number of recorded deaths alone is staggering.

And what about the ones that were not recorded behind the scenes?

Although Chen Gonglu's family is full of loyalties, they are definitely the targets of preferential treatment by the state.

But being given preferential treatment doesn't mean that you really have to be a drag.

No one likes to be a drag and be a burden to others.

This feeling is very bad.

Therefore, Chen Guohua's work efficiency in completing translations in August was very high.

"Hey, Director Bai is back from dinner."

Suddenly, someone greeted him in front of him. Chen Guohua looked over and saw that it was Xia Mengyuan from the security department.

This old guy, Lao Xia, usually works as a doorman.

But what this old boy likes to do most is growing vegetables in the factory.

No, it's August now, and it's time to plant Chinese cabbage for the winter.

The entire BAIC manufacturing plant is very large. After all, this is a new plant area and is being constructed in phases one and two.

The Security Department also allocated a piece of land, and Lao Xia used the extra land after building the office to grow vegetables.

Even the first and second-in-commands can't deal with this old guy, Lao Xia, let alone the others.

"Lao Xia, are you growing vegetables again? Can you eat so much vegetables by yourself?"

Bai Lichun squatted down with a smile and chatted with Lao Xia.

Chen Guohua shook his head and laughed. He was not in the mood to listen to their chat, so he went back to the office first.

Xia Mengyuan is a veteran and a lonely old man.

The state provided him with subsidies, but he was not happy with it. Moreover, he was already over 70 years old. He did not go to a welfare institution arranged by the state, so he insisted on staying at the BAIC manufacturing plant as a janitor.

Forget being a janitor, this guy also likes to grow vegetables.

Some of the dishes in the canteen were provided by Lao Xia.

For such a veteran, many people respect him very much, but they don't want him to go through so much trouble, for fear that one day he will be able to do something good, which will really be troublesome.

In the afternoon, Chen Guohua worked hard at his work station to translate, and finally completed the [-]-word manuscript.

Seeing him getting up to leave the workstation, Jiang Ruolin at the table next to him also got up and said:
"Guohua, do you want to go to the bathroom? Let's go together!"

"Okay, you go first, I'll go to the administrative department."

Let's just forget about going to the toilet together. Chen Guohua has always been insensitive to such things.

After traveling for such a long time, the thing that he couldn't stand the most was that people in the north often bathed together in public bathrooms!
So he has never been to a bathhouse in the north, not even once.

Not to mention going to the toilet with Jiang Ruolin and the others.

Many people may not know that today’s dry toilets are built in a row without any cover.

Every time Chen Guohua goes to the toilet, he always solves the problem as quickly as possible.

After moving, the one thing Chen Guohua wanted to do most was to build a separate bathroom for his home.

His mother Yun Wanshang agreed with this point, so she started building the courtyard next door.

After the second courtyard is built, everyone will move to the second courtyard and then build the bathroom in the first courtyard.

"Have you completed another translation manuscript?"

Jiang Ruolin was shocked when he saw Chen Guohua picking up the manuscript and preparing to leave.

Not far away, Meng Xiaochan, Lao Chongguang, Qu Qingqing and others also cast surprised glances.

It seems like this document was retrieved three days ago, right?
If I remember correctly, it was a [-]-word manuscript?
Is Chen Guohua too fast?

"It's not that fast. Haha, I'll go there first."

He didn't tell Lao Chongguang and others clearly, he just made a random joke and left.

In the administrative department, Chen Guohua handed the manuscript to Liu Changan.

The latter was also very surprised and very happy at the same time, and Dang even gave two more manuscripts to Chen Guohua.

"Translator Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"This is my job, what's the trouble?"

Chen Guohua took it with a smile, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the other party again.
