Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Go to the city? Become a worker?"

Zhou Ming was stunned by Zhou Tian's words, and immediately reacted and asked.

"Yes, I want to be a worker. Are you willing?"

Zhou Tian nodded and continued to ask.

Zhou Ming fell silent for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiaotian, it's not that I don't want to be a worker, but I have already started a family and my family can't do without me. The salary of a worker is stable, but I have to be responsible for my wife and children!"

Listening to Zhou Tian's words, Zhou Tian couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, he understood what Zhou Ming meant from his words, but since Zhou Ming was unwilling, he did not force him.

After processing the parts of the agricultural machinery, Zhou Tian took the two of them out for a meal. At the table, they talked about the interesting things they experienced when they were young, and they were both in high spirits. The village chief also interrupted from time to time, making the whole meal lively.

By the time the three of them finished their meal, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

After booking a room for the two at the guesthouse of the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory, Zhou Tian turned and walked towards home.

"Xiao Ming, do you really not consider Xiao Tian's opinion? You know, he is the director of the machinery factory now. If you can go to the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory and have Xiao Tian to take care of you, your future prospects will not be comparable to that of a farmer!"

Lying on the bed, the village chief of Zhoujia Village looked at Zhou Ming with some confusion. According to him, Zhou Ming was not a man who would keep quiet, so he should be tempted by Zhou Tian's invitation.

"Uncle Jiu, it's not that I don't want to be a worker, but I don't want to owe Xiaotian a favor!"

Zhou Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he listened to Uncle Jiu's words.

"Xiaotian and I basically grew up together naked, and that's why I don't want to make things difficult for him!"

"Yes, with Xiaotian here, I will definitely not be sad in the factory. But this will bring a lot of trouble to Xiaotian. You should also know what the villagers think. I don't want Xiaotian to be criticized by the villagers because of me!"

He also wanted to be a worker. Although life in the countryside is much better now, he had experienced hard times when he was a child, so he knew that life in the countryside was not as good as he imagined. When he was busy, it was even harder and more tiring than being a worker.

But if he had to choose between his childhood friend and his job, he would still choose his childhood friend Zhou Tian.

"That's right. People nowadays just can't stand seeing others doing well. They don't live a good life and always want to take shortcuts!"

The village chief couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. He was obviously aware of the possible consequences of this.

Zhou Tian naturally didn't know about the conversation between Zhou Ming and the village chief.

But in fact, he could also think that Zhou Ming was that kind of person who always thought about others, otherwise he would not have played with Zhou Ming in the first place.

Unfortunately, after he became a worker in a steel mill, the two had less and less contact.

The last time he went back to his hometown, he wanted to find his childhood friend to ask about his situation. After searching for several days without success, he found out that he had gone to the old city to do odd jobs.

This time when he asked Zhou Ming, besides wanting to help, he also hoped that he could live a better life in the future.

After all, life in the countryside had just gotten better in recent years, but when the famine came in 59, life became difficult.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ming refused. However, it was precisely because of Zhou Ming's refusal that he wanted to help Zhou Ming even more. As the saying goes, it is rare to have a true friend in life. It is also his blessing to have such a friend.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when he got home. Seeing his wife sitting on the bed and coaxing the child, he felt warm in his heart. He knew that his wife was worried about him, so she hadn't slept.

"Why don't you go to bed early? Didn't I tell you I would be back late tonight?"

Zhou Tian walked forward, sat beside the bed, took Shen Yulin's hand, and said with some blame.

"It's okay, Boss. I can't sleep without you!"

Shen Yulin smiled and said to Zhou Tian. Although the sentence was simple, there was a strong love between the lines.

"You! You just think too much. I know my body well. Drinking a little is nothing to me. Okay, I'm going to take a shower first, and we'll go to bed right away!"

Zhou Tian listened to Shen Yulin's words, reached out and scratched her nose, then got up and left the house to go to the bathroom.

After taking a shower and getting rid of the alcohol on his body, he felt completely relaxed. He put on his clothes and returned to his room.

As soon as he lay down on the bed, Shen Yulin snuggled into his arms.

"Boss, do you think I should go to work? After all, my child is more than two months old, and I really can't stay at home any longer!"

Shen Yulin asked, drawing circles on his body with her snow-white fingers.

"The child is still young and can't leave you. Wait another two months."

Zhou Tian reached out and held Shen Yulin in his arms, whispering.

"But it's really boring at home, and I want to go back to work!"

Shen Yulin rubbed her little head against him like a spoiled child.

"That's really not okay, be good! You don't want to be scolded by your mother, do you?"

Shen Yulin, who was still trying to fight for it, immediately fell silent when she heard her husband mention his mother. Obviously, she also knew that her mother and grandmother would not let her leave her children to go to work.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Zhou Tian just got up and felt a slight numbness in his waist. Looking at his wife who was still sleeping, he gently kissed her forehead, put on his clothes and went out to wash.

It is already mid-August, and the entire city has entered the beginning of autumn.

Zhou Tian arrived at the machinery factory and just walked into the office, he saw secretary Liu Yuan still cleaning with his head down.

"Xiao Liu, don't clean up yet. Go call Deputy Director Song over."

"Okay, director!"

When Liu Yuan heard Zhou Tian's words, he put down the broom in his hand, turned around and left the office.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Song Weiguo and Liu Yuan walked in. Liu Yuan first poured them a cup of tea, and then went out with a broom.

"Weiguo, I've been thinking about this for a long time. I think it's time for our factory to develop the electronics industry. I want you to ask the higher-ups and see what they think!"

Zhou Tian spoke only after Song Weiguo sat down.

In fact, he had always had this idea, otherwise he would not have left an electronics workshop when he built the machinery factory. Unfortunately, there is an extreme shortage of electronics talents now, and he once applied to his superiors, but was ultimately rejected.

However, as he developed more and more machine tools, he felt more and more time was running out. After all, Bald Eagle had successfully developed CNC machine tools, and he had only assembled a CNC three-axis lathe.

It seems that there is not much difference, but only those who are proficient in machinery can understand how big the gap is.

Foreign countries have also begun to make efforts in CNC machine tools. He does not want to wait until CNC machine tools become synonymous with cutting-edge technology and then have to import them from abroad.

As CNC machine tools are just starting out, he doesn’t want to fall behind others in machine tools!

"CNC machine tools? Director, are you serious?"

Song Weiguo had been in the machinery factory for quite some time, so he naturally understood what the director meant. But could CNC machine tools be developed under the current industrial conditions in China? Song Weiguo expressed doubts.

Although the director has developed a number of machine tools that are no worse than foreign equipment, in the final analysis, these are all based on the improvement of the current industrial foundation. However, in the electronics industry, with the current conditions in my country, the most we can do is to develop radios!
