Chapter 63 If ​​you don’t have a baby, you only have one worry

As the person in charge of a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, Zheng Haiming has a busy day at work.

In the ten minutes he spent communicating with Jiang Hui, several groups of people came over to look for him.

Jiang Hui naturally left wisely.

"Master, how are you? Did the factory director give you any specific reward?"

As soon as he returned to the office, Chen Chenxing surrounded him.

Even Hou Guoming, who always mind his own business, pricked up his ears and wanted to hear what Jiang Hui said.

"The salary was raised one level and a TV ticket was awarded."

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and anyone who cares will soon know it.

But there is definitely no need to mention the promotion to the leader of the chassis team now.

"Raise salary?"

Chen Chenxing's face was full of joy, as if he was the one who raised the salary. "Although the salary increase is not a lot, but calculated over many years, it is actually quite a lot."
< br>"As for TV tickets, they are even more rare. Our family also waited for several years before getting a ticket."

It is difficult for future generations to understand that buying a TV in this era is a 12-inch or How can it be so difficult to build a black and white TV with a small 14-inch screen?

But think about it, in 1978, the TV penetration rate in China was less than 4%. In many villages, there might be only one TV in the entire village, or even none at all.

It will take more than ten years for this situation to change significantly.

“Jiang Liaison has achieved a lot, and now the 4MT manual transmission is just an appetizer.”

“After the 1:1 clay model is produced, I think the factory will definitely also There will be rewards."

"As for the successful development of new engines and various other parts at the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory, there will be more or less special rewards."

" It’s Shouchi’s engine. If the performance is really improved by more than 30%, the significance will definitely not be less than the success of the 4MT manual transmission.”

Hou Guoming rarely spoke to other people, but in front of Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing, he slowly started to talk more.

The situation is becoming increasingly clear, and Hou Guoming can naturally feel the change.

So the worries and fears in his heart gradually diminished, and he began to have some confidence in the future.

“It’s true, Master, when this project is completed, your family will basically be fully equipped with ‘whole chicken, whole duck’ and ‘three turns and one ring’.”

When Chen Chenxing said this, Jiang Hui couldn't help but ask: "What is 'whole chicken and whole duck'?"

"Three turns and one beep" are bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios. Jiang Hui knows this.

But what the "whole chicken and whole duck" thing is, he really didn't realize for a while.

“Television, tape recorder, washing machine, duck down quilt head and duck down pillow, this is the ‘whole chicken (machine) whole duck’.”

As a native of the old capital, Chen Chenxing, for these “ The popular term "blind date" in the market is very familiar.

Especially this year, many educated youth have returned to the city. Men over 28 years old and women over 25 years old have been classified as older youths.

Because I had just returned to Beijing, there was no welfare and housing allocation, and the salary was almost uniform for everyone, which was no advantage.

So the first crisis of finding a partner began to appear in the capital.

With the encouragement of relevant departments, many units have been organized to solve the problem of marriage and love difficulties for older young people as much as possible.

Some large-scale blind dates began to emerge and slowly developed to their peak in the next few years.

Among them, steel plants and other machinery factories with mostly male employees often associate with textile factories with mostly female employees. Even some newspapers in the capital have stepped forward to take on the role of "matchmaker" in line with their responsibility to share social concerns. Although dating at this time also requires asking about housing, its meaning is not the same as today's mortgage-free commercial housing in the Third Ring Road.

At this time, the per capita housing area in the capital is only 4.5 square meters, which is comparable to the 4.3 square meters in Shanghai.

When young men and women or introducers ask "whether there is a house", they are asking whether there is room for separation within the existing space of the man's parents' home.

If there are attics, pavilions, balconies and other spaces for newlyweds to live in, if it is not possible to separate a space with a curtain in a larger living room, it can still be considered as having a room.

It is not uncommon for a family of seven or eight people to squeeze into a room of 20 to 30 square meters.

Of course, no matter what era it is, droughts will kill people and floods will kill them.

“When you put it like that, I really feel like there is a missing washing machine in my house.”

“It’s not that troublesome in summer, but it’s really inconvenient not to have a washing machine in winter.”

Zhu Lin is basically doing the housework, but Jiang Hui feels sad when he sees the delicate Rouyi washing clothes in the winter.

Buying a washing machine before winter is really more important than a TV.

Of course, there are TV tickets, so you definitely have to buy a TV set.

Anyway, the couple's income is good now, and the money given by the mother-in-law has not been used up.

"What kind of washing machine do you want? That thing is expensive and consumes electricity. The key is that tickets for washing machines are harder to get than tickets for TVs and bicycles."

Straight men like Chen Chenxing , naturally cannot understand the thoughts of Jiang Hui, a modern man who loves his wife.

Jiang Hui didn't bother to argue with him, it was completely meaningless.

"Xiao Chen, you don't understand this."

"Learn more from your master, maybe you can use it when you like a girl."

Hou Guoming It's rare to interrupt and chat.

Jiang Hui is doing well in the factory and he is also very happy.

Because he is now tied to a rope.

"If you can combine the 'whole chicken and whole duck' and 'three turns and one ring', there will be no problem in any girl you like."

Although it seems a bit inappropriate to measure it in terms of material things.

However, Chen Chenxing feels that these things are the most convincing in the blind date market.

Besides, what he is most interested in right now is learning to repair cars and then traveling around the country as a driver.

Isn’t it a waste of time to talk about a partner?

Totally unnecessary!

"When you complete the whole chicken and duck' and the 'three turns and one ring', other people's children will be able to make soy sauce."

Hou Guoming is about the same age as Chen Chenxing's father. One generation behind.

His views on marriage and love are definitely different from Chen Chenxing's.

“It’s so good to live alone, otherwise it would be like my neighbors, quarreling every day, my head hurts hearing about it.”

When Chen Chenxing said this, both Hou Guoming and Jiang Hui felt a little speechless.

Hou Guoming couldn't accept Chen Chenxing's point of view, while Jiang Hui was a little surprised that his apprentice's ideas were so avant-garde?

In 1978, did you know that not getting married or having children was the most comfortable?

After giving birth to a baby, all kinds of worries come one after another, making it overwhelming.

If you don’t have a baby, you will only have one worry, and that is “What to eat today?”!
