Chapter 8

“Okay…” Yu Hongru said yes repeatedly. They could repair the machine tools by themselves, which meant that they would not have to spend money to ask those so-called crappy experts from the Bear Country for help.

They clearly spent money and were provided with good food and drink, but those people acted so arrogantly, which made them feel very frustrated.

They can only swallow this suffocating frustration. If they lag behind, they will be beaten. This is an eternal fact. What if they don’t admit it?

Not only Yu Hongru and Li Mingcai, everyone in the workshop was excited to learn that the broken machine tool had been repaired.

Du Weihai straightened his chest. That was his daughter, he was proud…

Du Yidong was very envious, but he couldn’t envy enough. His family understood his own business, and he knew very well that his brain was not as smart as his sister’s.

People in the housing estate would sometimes tease him, saying that his brains had been taken away by his sister.

“Congratulations to the host for repairing and improving a machine tool. Reward: 3 free attribute points, 15 cash, two food coupons, two cloth coupons, 5 jin of rice, 5 jin of flour, 1 jin of pork, and 1 jin of eggs.”

Hearing the announcement from the system, Du Yimeng was very surprised. She didn’t expect there would be a reward. Suddenly, she looked at all the machine tools in the workshop. It seemed that she had found a way to get some benefits.

She participated in the entire process of this machine tool, but there were also helpers from other people, which meant that as long as she participated, she would be rewarded.

“Comrade Du, has this machine tool been improved? Why do I feel like it’s a bit faster?” Li Mingcai asked the question in his mind.

Song Zhi’s eyes lit up, and so did the others, all looking at Du Yimeng.

“I have improved the transmission system and control system. It will not cause any damage to the machine tool and can also reduce the machine tool’s downtime and processing time, which can improve production efficiency.” Du Yimeng said in a flat tone.

“Oh, why didn’t I think of it…” Song Zhi felt that he had missed a lot of things. Why didn’t he think of this before?

The machine tool has to stop for a long time each time, which wastes the workers’ time. The time added up from several stops can process one more part.

Then a moment of confusion appeared on his face. How were the transmission system and control system improved?

He was just worried about whether the machine tool could be repaired and didn’t pay attention to these things at all. What a pity.

“Can other machine tools be improved?” Yu Hongru asked anxiously. Du Yimeng’s words made him very happy. If all the machine tools were improved, they would definitely be able to complete the task ahead of schedule.

In this way, more time can be saved to produce other things and increase the efficiency of the factory. With money, workers can be more confident in doing anything, and the living standards of workers can also be improved.

“Okay, but we should first improve the other machine tools that process unqualified parts. I suspect there are more than one such machine.” Du Yimeng said.

Her proposal was agreed by everyone because they thought so too, and there were seven or eight machine tools in the three large workshops that produced unqualified parts.

Next, whether Du Yimeng was dismantling, assembling, or improving the machine tool, everyone in the technical department, including Song Zhi, watched with their eyes wide open.

Seeing this, she continued with her hand movements and explained, just as her teacher was teaching her.

Everyone looked at her with gratitude. In this era, people still paid great attention to the master-apprentice relationship. Without learning from a master, no one would pass on their skills to outsiders.

But she did it, and for this alone she deserves their respect.

Yu Hongru nodded secretly. She was a good comrade. He would think about how to reward her later.

“Congratulations to the host for repairing and improving a machine tool. Reward: 3 free attribute points, 15 cash, 1 catty of rapeseed oil, 30 catties of corn flour, 1 catty of mutton, and a large fish.”

With the previous experience of disassembling and assembling machine tools, the speed this time was obviously much faster.

When technician Zhang Shu installed the last screw, Du Yimeng heard the system’s announcement in her mind. Her eyes lit up. This time the reward not only included mutton but also fish, which was very nice!

When Zhang Shu saw Du Yimeng’s eyes light up, he thought she was silently praising him and subconsciously straightened his chest.

When others saw this, they all looked away, unable to bear to watch. It was really disgusting to see a man in his thirties doing such childish behavior.

…

After get off work, Du Yidonggang insisted on going back with Du Yimeng, but she refused.

If he habitually goes home with her every day after get off work, how can she get things from the space?

Her words “Be obedient and you will have meat to eat” made Du Yidong nod his big head like a chicken pecking at rice.

As soon as she stepped into the family compound, everyone’s eyes fell on her, no…it should be said that they fell on the big fish in her hand.

This big fish weighed about 7 or 8 kilograms. She didn’t know whether the fish meat was delicious or not, but she knew that her wrist was sore.

“Da Meng is back, where are the fish?”

“This fish is really big, it must be about 8 or 9 kilograms, right?”

“I think it must be at least ten pounds.”

The people in the family compound began to comment on the big fish, and the topic went off topic. In a split second, the whole family compound was talking about the Du family’s dream bringing back a big fish weighing more than 20 kilograms.

It’s outrageous…

This big fish didn’t know until it died that it had escaped from the circle in this way.

“Fish…what a big fish, sister. Your hands must be sore. Let me carry it for you.” The fifth brother Du Yibei appeared out of nowhere and suddenly jumped in front of Du Yimeng, scaring her.

“Sister, come home quickly, our mother has prepared dinner.” Lao Wu walked very fast, and Du Yimeng was left behind after a while. He didn’t even have time to wait for his sister.

There were so many eyes in the family compound staring at this big fish, he was so afraid that someone would snatch it away from him. He only had one obsession now, the only way to be safe was to go home as soon as possible.

Faster and faster…Finally he just ran.

Du Yimeng: She had to doubt whether Lao Wu was just sympathizing with her sore hands…

She had no choice but to jog to keep up. Lao Wu still had short legs, so why couldn’t she catch up?

All I can say is that she doesn’t understand the heart of a foodie. For a foodie, as long as there is something delicious, even his short legs can run out of afterimages.

“How much does such a big fish cost?” When Du’s mother saw the big fish for the first time, an expression of pain instantly appeared on her face. She had just eaten meat dumplings yesterday, and now she was going to eat fish again today. What kind of family could be like this?

But she immediately regained control of her expression. It was her daughter’s first day at work, so she had to do something nice to celebrate.

Du Yimeng couldn’t help laughing when looking at Du’s mother’s ever-changing face, but she didn’t dare to make fun of her, otherwise she would be scolded in minutes.

When others saw the big fish, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva. The fish meat must be delicious, right?
