Chapter 006 Going home ()

Lin Zhenhua helped Dongfeng Porcelain Factory solve the technical problems. The factory director Wang Fatty Zi was extremely happy. That night, he arranged to serve wine and dishes in the small cafeteria again to entertain Lin Zhenhua. This time, the level of wine and dishes was put on another layer, and even He Haifeng rarely ate some delicacies.

"Xiaolin, I'm thanking you for your blessing." He Haifeng said to Lin Zhenhua.

"Where is where, I look at Director He's face." Lin Zhenhua said politely.

Fatty Wang heard their conversation and smiled and picked up the wine and said, "This meal is beyond the standard. If Director He came, I would really not be willing to invite it. This meal was used to entertain our Lin Expert. Lin Expert is not old and has a very high level. Our factory leaders collectively agreed to raise the reception standards for this meal."

"Oh, then I'm so embarrassed. Actually, I really didn't do anything." Lin Zhenhua felt a little flattered. As a graduate student at Huaqing University in later generations, he had many opportunities to go out with his supervisor to do projects, and he had experienced many scenes. According to the standards of later generations, the dishes on this table can only be described in the word "sad". However, at the prices at that time, this should be the living expenses of a working family for half a month.

Fatty Wang said: "Xiaolin, you just said three words, what is it called... Yes, oxygen ion, these three words have solved our technical problems in the past year or two. From now on, our products can be sold as first-class products. Just this item alone, each of our entire factory workers can get an extra 20 yuan year-end bonus this year. Do you think your contribution is great? I invited you on behalf of our entire factory workers."

"Mr. Deng said that technology is the primary productive force." Lin Zhenhua responded casually.

"Technology is the primary productive force, it's so good." He Haifeng nodded, "Xiaolin, is this what Vice Chairman Deng said? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"This...maybe...I can't remember it either." Lin Zhenhua quickly denied that as a time traveler, the biggest trouble is that he often says something beyond the times.

"Technology is the primary productive force... No matter who said it, it is said so well." He Haifeng praised.

The next morning, just dawn, and both Hongxing Factory and Dongfeng Factory sent office directors to send Lin Zhenhua on the train. He Haifeng happened to be free and went to the train station. The office director of Hongxing Factory helped Lin Zhenhua hold two large cartons, which naturally contained the gifts he bought in the store the first day. The director of Dongfeng Factory did not take anything, but after Lin Zhenhua got on the train, he stuffed him a bulging envelope.

"What is this?" Lin Zhenhua was startled.

"This is the bonus that Director Wang gave you. It's a total of 100 yuan. You can count it and sign it for me." said the director of Dongfeng Factory.

"This is not possible. I just said one thing, how can I collect your money?"

"Expert Lin, just take it. In fact, this money was originally the bonus promised by our factory. It has been established last year. Whoever can solve the problem of leakage in the porcelain bottle can get this 100 yuan. Now that you solve it, the bonus will naturally belong to you."

"This..." Lin Zhenhua looked at He Haifeng with his eyes and asked him how to deal with it.

"Xiaolin, just take it." He Haifeng said, "Dongfeng Factory asked the Light Industry Department for instructions and is a legal bonus. No matter who solves this problem, you can get it. The amount of the bonus is a little higher, but the Light Industry Department has approved it, so it is not a mistake."

"Then I will accept it. Thank you Director Wang for me." Lin Zhenhua happily accepted the money. 100 yuan, which is equivalent to the three-month salary of a new worker who entered the factory. It will be useless if he doesn't charge it. The things given to him by Hongxing Factory are worth more than 100 yuan, but Lin Zhenhua still thinks that cash is more affordable.

"Xiaolin, they all gave you gifts, but I didn't give you anything." He Haifeng said a little apologetically, "Lanlan's mother made a few eggs for you, and you can take them on the way to eat."

"Then I will thank Mrs. He." Lin Zhenhua took the egg and said with a smile, "Actually, Director He arranged food and accommodation for me and created opportunities for me to make money, which is enough."

"Don't be polite between you and me." He Haifeng said, "You can just call me Lao He. Xiaolin, if you have any unsatisfactory things after you go back, you must write to me. The factory you work for, Hanhua Machinery Factory, is under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Provincial Light Industry Department. I know a few people in the Jiangnan Provincial Light Industry Department. If you have any questions, you can say something."

"Thank you, Director He... Haha, thank you Lao He." Lin Zhenhua bowed and said. He knew that He Haifeng's explanation was not less valuable than the money and goods given to him by the two factories. Some upper-level relationships can often play unexpected roles for an ordinary worker.

With a sound of a whistle, the train slowly drove away from Tanzhou Station and headed towards Jiangnan Province. He Haifeng stood on the platform and watched the train leave, feeling quite regretful. If he had the power, he really wanted to keep Lin Zhenhua under his command, but it was not so easy to mobilize someone back then.

From Tanzhou to Fenghua County, where Lin Zhenhua was going, the railway was less than 300 kilometers, but the green-skinned car that year drove for 6 hours before arriving. Lin Zhenhua got off the train with a big bag with a sore back, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Hanhua Machinery Factory was in the eastern suburbs of the county town, and the train station was five kilometers away from the southwest corner of the county town. Lin Zhenhua's original luggage was just a bag of quilts and a travel bag, so it was not difficult to carry it back. But now there are two large carton gifts given by Hongxing Factory, one of which seems to be 54 tableware produced by Hongxing Factory itself, which is extremely heavy. Lin Zhenhua really doesn't know how to move these things home.

"elder brother!"

A crisp call sounded in Lin Zhenhua's ears, and then a girl in red appeared in front of him, with tears of excitement in her eyes and staring at him in a daze.

"Xiao Fang!"

Lin Zhenhua threw the thing in his hand on the ground and couldn't help but stretch out his arms and hugged the girl. He recognized that this was his sister, 16-year-old Lin Fanghua. They were brothers and sisters of a mother and compatriots, and had an unbreakable blood kinship.

"What are you doing? Let me go." Lin Fanghua couldn't adapt to this way of expressing closeness at once, and quickly broke free from his brother's arms, and punched Lin Zhenhua's chest with a red face, "What are you doing? So many people are watching."

Only then did Lin Zhenhua realize that in that era, people seemed not used to such intimate actions. Even between brothers and sisters, the etiquette of embracing was quite shocking.

"Well, this is the etiquette of ethnic minorities." Lin Zhenhua concealed, "Our army has lived in Yunnan for more than half a year and learned some local customs."

"Then you have to change it quickly. It doesn't matter to me this time. If you do this to other girls, people will say you are a hooligan." Lin Fanghua took Lin Zhenhua's words seriously and reminded him worriedly.

"Xiaofang, are you here to pick me up?" Lin Zhenhua asked strangely.

"Yes, if I don't pick you up, who else can I pick you up?"

"But, how do you know I'm back from this train?"

"Isn't it the telegram you sent?" Lin Fanghua asked, shaking a telegram in her hand.

"It was not sent by me... But I know, it was sent by a friend of mine." Lin Zhenhua said. His relatives only had this sister, so he never thought of letting Lin Fanghua pick him up. He guessed that He Haifeng must have seen him have too much luggage and sent a telegram to his sister kindly.

"Brother, why do you have so much luggage? Are you moving?" Lin Fanghua looked at Lin Zhenhua's luggage and asked in a fuss.

"Well, it's hard to describe. Xiaofang, how did you come from?"

"Yang Xin and I came on a bicycle."

"Yang Xin?" Lin Zhenhua turned his head and saw a slender girl with a beautiful face standing not far away. She was looking at them. The girl's face looked like a smile, with a little joy and a little shy.

Of course Lin Zhenhua knew her, but two years ago, when Lin Zhenhua left Hanhua Machinery Factory, Yang Xin was still a young girl, and now she has become a graceful girl.

Yang Xin's father is Yang Chunshan and his mother is Wei Suping. The couple are both workers in the factory and have close relationships with Lin Zhenhua's parents. After Lin Zhenhua's parents were killed, the Yang family took great care of the little brother and sister and often asked them to eat at home, so Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin are very familiar with each other. Yang Xin is two years younger than Lin Zhenhua and the same age as Lin Fanghua. When Lin Zhenhua went out to serve in the army, Yang Xin was still in junior high school. At that time, the boys and girls in the school did not talk to each other, so although Lin Zhenhua often had dinner at Yang Xin's house, and Yang Xin and Lin Fanghua were as close as sisters, Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin almost didn't talk to each other. Most of the time, they just watched from a distance like now.

"Yang Xin, thank you for accompanying Xiaofang to pick me up." Lin Zhenhua walked over generously and greeted Yang Xin. He was no longer the oldest man back then. Whether it was Lin Zhenhua, a veteran who had been bathed in the battlefield, or Lin Zhenhua, a graduate student who had traveled over, he was already an adult and no longer restricted by the "38th parallel" in the school.

"Xiaohua...you're back." Yang Xin replied in a low voice. Before he could finish his words, there was a hint of blush on his face.

"How can I get there for three people, two boxes, one backpack, and two bicycles?" Lin Fanghua asked Lin Zhenhua in distress.
