Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

In addition to the Jiangcheng Automobile Factory, there are also a bus factory, a locomotive factory, and a tractor factory in the local area.

If Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Company wants to build cars, it absolutely cannot do without the assistance of these automobile supporting enterprises in the province.

The most important one is the manufacturer that Lin Kaifeng must contact.

It must be Jiangcheng Engine Factory.

The agricultural tricycle uses a two-cylinder engine.

With the capacity of the county machinery factory, it is already capable of manufacturing this type of engine.

Once it becomes four cylinders or more, it far exceeds the manufacturing capacity of the machinery factory.

Therefore, Lin Kaifeng had to contact Jiangcheng Engine Factory for support.

On a weekend morning, two brand new agricultural tricycles left the machinery company's factory.

We drove all the way to the Dongshan Brigade below.

In the first car sat Lin Kaifeng and Lu Xiuxiu, who was holding her daughter.

The second agricultural tricycle was driven by Lu Changshun.

Sitting in the back of the car were Zhang Weimin and Xu Haodong from the provincial capital.

Knowing that Lin Kaifeng would deliver the agricultural tricycle on the weekend.

Before dawn today, Lu Dayong got up early and asked his two sons to guard the road leading to the brigade.

"Here he comes! Dad, my brother-in-law is back."

After an unknown amount of time, the old mainland anti-American soldier heard the rumbling sound of the engine.

Stand on tiptoe and look forward.

"Why are there two cars?"

Lu Dayong looked closely and saw that there were not one but two tricycles coming towards him.

Not long after, two agricultural tricycles drove up to Lu Dayong.

"Dad, you haven't been back for so long, are you still strong and healthy?"

Lin Kaifeng pushed open the car door and got out, greeting his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law with a smile.

"Strong, able to eat and sleep every day."

Seeing his daughter holding her granddaughter coming down from another door, Lu Dayong said with a smile on his face: "Quick, give me my granddaughter to hold."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiuxiu handed her daughter Xing'er to Lu Dayong.

Xing'er, who is already over one year old this year, is sleeping soundly and sweetly in her cradle.

The little face is chubby and very cute.

Lu Dayong used his rough fingers to carefully tease his granddaughter.

The granddaughter is fair and clean, and the daughter looks very happy.

Proof that they were living very well in the county.

As long as his youngest daughter's family lives in harmony, Lu Dayong's life will be worth it.

I want to do my best to live up to my spouse’s wishes.

"Uncle San, you're back too."

The two brothers Lu Kangmei and Lu Yuanchao were just about to ask Lin Kaifeng why two cars were sent when they saw three people getting out of the second car.

One of them was my third uncle Lu Changshun.

"Brother, you gave me your precious son-in-law, and I gave you a tricycle. This is called reciprocity."

Upon learning that Lin Kaifeng was going to buy a tricycle for Lu Dayong out of his own pocket, Lu Changshun also bought one.

There was no "painful sacrifice" by cousin Lu Dayong.

There would be no prosperous situation of the county machinery factory.

There is no need for so much nonsense between brothers. Lu Changshun invited the Lu brothers to get in the car and prepared to take them for a good time.

Lu Kangmei and Lu Yuanchao ran faster than each other.

In a blink of an eye, the two men climbed onto the truck.

"You two little bastards, get down here. Can't you see there are guests here?"

Lu Dayong caught a glimpse of Zhang Weimin and Xu Haodong.

The two men were wearing cadre uniforms and glasses, giving people the impression of high-level intellectuals.

"Dad, let's go home first and let Xiuxiu prepare the meal. How about we eat and chat together?"

Lin Kaifeng suggested.

"Okay, let's go home first."

After that, everyone got on the car.

Lin Kaifeng and Lu Changshun are still the drivers.

What happened here immediately attracted the attention of the brigade members.

Nowadays, if something rare happens, it can be known to everyone in a short time.

Last Sunday.

A company called Northern Machinery Company went to the entrance of department stores in the city to sell agricultural tricycles.

Within two days, this trend spread to the lower-level brigade.

Others may not know what Northern Machinery Company does, but Lu Dayong knows it very well.

It is the original county machinery factory.

Under the operation of his son-in-law, the state-owned enterprise became a collective enterprise.

Lin Kaifeng also went from being a temporary worker to the head of the technical department, and finally became the person in charge of the company.

The three consecutive jumps dazzled Lu Dayong.

After a while, an agricultural tricycle stopped in front of the Lu family's gate.

Lu Dayong ordered his two sons to unload the things downstairs.

This time, Lin Kaifeng and Lu Changshun brought two agricultural tricycles and many rare things in the countryside.

Food, drink, clothes and general merchandise.

It’s enough for the Lu family to use for a year.

Lin Kaifeng bought an agricultural tricycle with his own money and went to the city department store.

Through Chen Dali's connections, he got a lot of rice, flour, sugar, vinegar, oil, salt, and clothing fabrics.

In addition, there is a small truckload of fertilizer.

"Changshun, Kaifeng is young and it's okay for him to spend money lavishly, but as an elder, why don't you try to persuade him?"

When Lu Dayong saw what Lin Kaifeng brought, he was both happy and distressed.

Not to mention that two tricycles would cost at least two thousand yuan.

Just looking at the things in the car, it would cost at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.

Lu Changshun said: "Brother, buying these things is really nothing to us."

"You don't know yet, since the County Machinery Factory became the Northern Machinery Company, everyone's pockets have become fatter. Kaifeng has implemented distribution according to work in the company. Whoever works harder and contributes more will get a higher bonus."

"Do you know how much the basic monthly salary of an ordinary worker in the factory is?"

"How many?"

Lu Dayong asked curiously.

Lu Changshun raised a finger and said, "Even ordinary workers who have just joined the factory can get a basic salary of 100 yuan per month as long as they don't make mistakes and are not fined."

"Oh my god, one hundred dollars!!!"

"I heard that only the eighth-level workers in large factories can get this much money..."

Lu Dayong felt unwell.

A strong laborer from Dongshan Brigade works in the fields every day and never misses a day or asks for leave all year round.

I couldn't even earn a hundred yuan at the end of the year.

Getting seventy bucks was a big deal.

An ordinary worker in a machinery company can earn 100 yuan a month, and that doesn’t include bonuses.

God.

Now that the county machinery factory has fallen into Lin Kaifeng's hands, will it become a gold mine or a silver mine?

How could he be so rich?

At the same time, Lu Xiuxiu and her two brothers were busy cooking in the kitchen.

at this time.

The Lu brothers had time to carefully observe Lu Xiuxiu's dress.

You really don’t know until you see it.

Lu Xiuxiu, who went to live in the county town with Lin Kaifeng a few months ago, was wearing a flowered cotton jacket and a pair of black cotton shoes.

When I came back again, I felt like a different person.

On her wrist was a delicate ladies' watch.

He was wearing leather shoes and the fabric of his clothes was obviously high-end.

Her hair was tied up with a pretty hairpin.

"Little sister, were all these clothes bought for you by your brother-in-law?"

Lu Yuanchao asked in a low voice.

While working, Lu Xiuxiu said, "These are all what Kaifeng brought back from the Canton Fair in the south. In addition to these, she also brought me a lot of gold jewelry. I thought they were too eye-catching, so I put them at the bottom of the box and didn't bring them back."

While complaining about Lin Kaifeng's wasteful spending, Lu Xiuxiu was happier than anyone else in her heart.

Lin Kaifeng went to the south and brought back a lot of things in large and small bags.

Most of it was given to her and her daughter.
