Chapter 10

The next day was Sunday, and Du Weihai called Du Yidong to go to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning. Although Du’s mother was reluctant to spend money, she still agreed to buy a fan.

Now everyone knows that the Machinery Factory is rewarding Da Meng with a fan ticket, so several groups of people came last night, all wanting to buy her tickets.

If it was made into a big deal, she would be even more afraid to sell it. What if she was blinded by money and was reported by someone, causing trouble for Daming, then she would be blamed.

I just used the ticket and stopped those people from coming to my house again.

Mother Du looked at the father and son’s backs as they left, feeling very envious. She also wanted to go… but the supply and marketing cooperative was so crowded!

Du Yimeng, who was staying in his small room, directly opened his attribute panel.

Host: Du Yimeng

Research skills: Primary (100/100), Intermediate (81/1000), Advanced (0/), King (0/), God (0/)

Seeing that my skill level has reached the intermediate level, I feel very good. Even the hot summer is not so painful anymore.

When she took out the blueprint of the four-wheel-drive tractor she had designed, she clearly felt the benefits brought by the more than 100 attribute points. At this moment, the blueprint in front of her was like a primary school student’s homework.

When she saw the engine drawing, she directly rejected it. She had previously made improvements based on the 54 engine, changing the 54 horsepower to 75 horsepower. Now she was a little disdainful of 75 horsepower, so she wanted to redesign a new diesel engine.

Her brain was constantly working and the pen in her hand was constantly writing and drawing on the paper.

She didn’t know how long it had been, but when she heard noisy sounds in the hall, she put down her pen and rubbed her brows.

When she came out of the small room, she saw her father carefully unpacking the box and taking out the fan. He was so cautious, as if he was holding fragile porcelain.

You have to know that the fan at that time was just a lump of iron, both the outer shell and the inner fan were made of iron. It was hard for her father to treat such a lump of iron as fragile porcelain.

There were two neighbors on the left and right in the hall, and their eyes were also fixed on the fan.

After turning on the power and pressing the switch, the fan started to turn immediately, and everyone watched this scene with joy.

“The wind is so cool!” A middle-aged man couldn’t help but sigh. He was Uncle Zhao who lived to the left of the Du family. Uncle Zhao was a level five worker in the machinery factory, earning 61.7 yuan a month.

He muttered to himself, his salary was obviously higher than Du Weihai’s, and he had two fewer children than Du Weihai, so why couldn’t his family afford a fan?

There is northwest wind blowing during the day, and it is really hot at night!

He couldn’t sleep the whole night!

This caused him to twist his thighs all day long, for fear of falling asleep while working.

You have to know that the machine tools at that time had no protective covers. Once you dozed off, you might get an industrial injury. If you were lucky, you would lose your hand, and if you were unlucky, you would lose your life.

“Old Du, this must cost a lot of money, right?” Uncle Liu, who lived to the right of the Du family, asked curiously. The wind was so cool and he wanted one too.

“That’s right, it cost me 180 yuan!” Du Weihai replied with a smile, his tone full of pride. In fact, for people in the family compound, 180 yuan is something they can afford by gritting their teeth and scraping together, but not everyone has the tickets.

He has it at home, so you don’t have to spend money to buy a ticket. Isn’t that infuriating?

If other people could hear his inner voice, they would definitely scold him, saying he was such a jerk…

Everyone was amazed when they heard this. One hundred and eighty yuan is not a small amount. Then everyone thought that the Du family didn’t spend so much money on this fan.

The factory not only rewarded Da Meng with a fan ticket, but also 50 yuan!

I’m really envious…

Who made them fail to raise a promising child? Uncle Liu turned around and saw his eldest son staring at the fan. His eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that his eldest son would be in the third grade of junior high school in the second half of the year.

Daman was feeling the cool breeze brought by the fan, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. He couldn’t help but sigh that the wind from the fan was so strong that it made his tailbone feel cold.

When Du’s mother saw everyone’s envious expressions, she felt very happy. She gently stroked the base of the fan as if she was touching a precious treasure.

But in Du Yimeng’s opinion, this electric fan has a serious problem, especially the humming noise…

She turned back to her room and came out with a few screwdrivers of different sizes. She turned back to her parents’ room and found the butter and lubricant.

“Da Meng, what are you doing?” When Du’s mother saw the tools in Du Yimeng’s hands, her heart skipped a beat.

She screamed in her heart, “No!”, this little kid must not touch her fan, otherwise she didn’t know if she could still maintain the last bit of motherly love.

“The electric fan is too noisy. I’ll fix it and it’ll be done soon.” Du Yimeng unplugged the power cord while speaking. At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on her.

Mother Du: No… She likes noise…

Du Weihai turned to look at his wife, and saw that she just had a sullen face but didn’t say a word, so he also shut up silently.

He had agreed with his wife that he would make decisions on outside matters, while she would have the final say on matters at home. Dameng’s dismantling of the newly bought fan happened at home, which was within her jurisdiction and had nothing to do with him.

“My sister is crazy. She wants to dismantle the electric fan we just bought…” Lao Wu almost cried. Why would his sister dismantle the newly bought electric fan?

He was about to stop him, but his second brother covered his mouth and dragged him away, leaving only sobs.

Uncle Zhao and Uncle Liu looked at each other and shut up silently. The Du family members did not stop them. What could these two outsiders say?

Half an hour later, Du Yimeng assembled the fan, plugged it in and turned on the switch. The fan started to work normally and the noise was obviously much smaller than before. She nodded with satisfaction.

Uncle Zhao and Uncle Liu looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other’s eyes. It turned out that other people were not just dismantling it for fun, they really knew how to repair it!

Why is the Du family’s dream so powerful?

They were convinced that he was worthy of being a technician.

Du’s mother breathed a sigh of relief. She was still a kind mother.

The other members of the Du family also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was really capable, otherwise today’s matter would not have been resolved and his mother would have definitely gone mad.

Du Yimeng greeted everyone and then returned to the small room. She had just taken apart the fan when she suddenly had an idea.

She was able to design a 75-horsepower engine based on the principle of a 54-horsepower engine, and a small fan was no problem.

After a while, a design drawing of a fan appeared on paper. The fan she designed was several levels higher than current fans in terms of material cost and performance.

Looking at the design of the fan on paper, she silently gave herself a thumbs up. She was so awesome!
