Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Time flies and comes to the week before the Chinese Valentine's Day. Yu Jiang and Yu's father also took nearly half a month's leave and made a special trip to the army to attend Yu Hongcheng's wedding.

Fortunately, after several months of hard work by Yu Jiang and several members of the team, the photolithography machine project has come to an end and the machine has been produced. The next step is continuous testing and adjustment, and finally the collection of various reports.

Yu Jiang only felt that asking for leave during this period was a good thing. Anyway, the end of this work is to summarize the data and steps of the previous experiments into a pile of information. This process will probably take one or two months.

Yu Jiang happened to be bothered by these things the most. He simply had no technical content, and there would be no problems with this photolithography machine, so it was a matter of course that Yu Jiang slipped away.

Not only Yu Jiang, but also Lu Nanchi was also ready to ask for leave.

He doesn't want to do these jobs either, so isn't his third brother going to get married in a while? There's nothing wrong with him going back to attend a wedding, right?

In the end, Yu Jiang left behind and brought a group of boys in the laboratory without any sense of guilt, and went home happily with the leave note she had asked for, preparing to get what her brother needed.

The things they wanted to bring this time were not a small amount, the wedding things prepared for Yu Hongcheng and Hu Yiyi accounted for a large part.

Although they can also go to the supply and marketing cooperative near the army to buy, but in front of their future daughter-in-law and in-laws, it is not easy to buy everything there.

Moreover, Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu are also going this time. They have a common habit of wanting to take their families with them when they go out. Not to mention, this time they were not only going to attend the wedding of their grandson and grandson-in-law, they were also going to the place where their youngest daughter worked for the second time.

So doesn’t this one thing become a lot of things?

Yu Jiang looked at the luggage that needed an oxcart to pull away, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it would be great if she could take out the space for the bracelet at this time, at least they don't have to move it around when they get on and off the car!

But forget it, she doesn't want to be treated like a monster.

Along the way, they first rode a bullock cart, then transferred to a car, and finally they managed to board the train.

The Yu family also saw Yu Jiang's current strength again. Even Yu's father only carried one bag and two luggages, but Yu Jiang was able to carry one bag and carry two large luggages in each hand!

And looking at her relaxed posture, Yu's mother felt that even if she were to put more things in the bag, she would still be able to carry it.

The Yu family finally got on the train after going through a lot of twists and turns. Fortunately, this time it didn't happen the last time Yu Jiang encountered someone maliciously occupying a seat and not returning it.

Although there are only five people in the Yu family, they still have a lot of luggage after all, and the Yu family is not short of a few dollars for train tickets, so they just bought an extra ticket and the family stayed in a sleeper berth. In the private room, you are not afraid of being disturbed, and the things you put in the private room are also safe.

Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu have inconvenient legs and feet because of their age, so instead of letting them sleep on the upper bunk, which is more airy, the two elderly people lie down on the lower bunk on one side.

The only drawback is that they have to get down from the upper bunk to sit on the lower bunk when eating or anything else. In this way, the lower bunk becomes a common area. But there's nothing they can do about it. They can't really bring another set of quilt covers to the train!

Fortunately, everyone in the carriage is our own people, and the whole Yu family is also a clean person, so it's not a big problem.

Yu's father and mother slept on the middle floor. In their words, as the only young man, Yu Jiang naturally had to climb a little more.

All right! Hearing what they said, Yu Jiang's words about sleeping comfortably on the upper bunk were swallowed.

Since it was time for lunch soon after getting on the bus, the first meal was still to eat what I had brought. Because the whole family is going out together now, and it will last more than ten or twenty days, so Mother Yu and Grandma Yu packed away all the food at home that cannot be stored for a long time.

They made the food into dishes and put them into lunch boxes. They made about two meals and waited to eat them on the train.

As for the vegetables that were about to mature or were not yet mature, they entrusted them to He's mother before leaving, asking her to help look after the family's vegetable garden and the chickens and ducks they raised.

As for the vegetables that matured while they were away, they were not valuable. Mother Yu told Mother He to pick them and eat them, otherwise they would have to deal with the vegetables rotting in the ground when they came back. .

Even though the Yu family are authentic southerners, their lunch boxes are mostly filled with rice and vegetables. But Grandma Yu still made a few boxes of steamed buns. Although she was afraid that they would want to eat at night because they didn't sleep well, so even though it was summer, things would easily go bad, so she still took a few steamed buns with her on the road.

After finishing the meal, it was supposed to be nap time, but Grandpa Yu got on the train again after so many years, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

Thinking about the last time he took a train, it was when he won the war and brought Grandma Yu back home gloriously. At that time, they had no money to buy sleepers, so they had to squeeze into hard seats with a group of returning veterans. Although the conditions were much more difficult than they are now, I was chatting and laughing with my comrades along the way, and the journey went by extremely fast.

Thinking of these previous things, Grandpa Yu couldn't help but want to find someone to tell him.

Then Yu Jiang, the scapegoat, was caught in the lower bunk. When everyone else was asleep or pretending to be asleep, she could only sit on the bed in the lower bunk and listen to her grandfather talking about those glorious years.

Grandpa Yu’s story-telling is also different from other old men. When other old men tell stories about their past, at most they just catch one person and finish it. But while Grandpa Yu was speaking, he also asked those who listened to him to give him some response.

The most basic thing is to say "Well, that's it, what next?"

When Grandpa Yu feels that the matter he is telling is very important, he will turn around and ask the obedient person what he just said to confirm whether the other person has listened to his story.

Yu Jiang: This kind of review is really unnecessary, she will really thank you!

Grandpa Yu, who was very interested, kept telling his story from lunch until dinner time, and then he stopped telling his story.

It's not that he has finished speaking and has nothing left to say. Mainly because the old man talked all afternoon, and even if he kept drinking water in the middle, he still felt tired.

Only then did Yu Jiang finally escape from the clutches of the devil.

Oh my gosh! She never wanted to hear any more stories in her life!

The five days and four nights on the train passed quietly. During this period, Yu Jiang used the excuse of going out for some fresh air to buy another batch of cigarettes and alcohol. Anyway, she has money now, and these things will not deteriorate if placed in the space bracelet.

Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu are old after all. Although they only slept along the way, their sleep was not very good due to the bumps in the car.

Grandpa Yu only asked Yu Jiang to tell his heroic deeds on the first day. On the second day, he no longer had the energy to tell stories.
