Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 153 Just call it that, I like to hear it

After Jiang Chen burned the kang, he touched his pocket and found that he had run out of cigarettes, so he went upstairs to get them.

Zhang Cui asked doubtfully: "What is he going to do?"

Liu Yue said: "Go get a cigarette. I saw that his cigarette was gone in the morning. It's just that he disliked my clumsiness and wouldn't let me climb the stairs."

When he said this, his eyes were full of happiness.

Zhang Cui was stunned: "This kid bought all the cigarettes from Lun Tiao? I'll go see how many he bought."

After saying that, he stood up and climbed up the wooden stairs.

Liu Yue quickly steadied herself on the stairs: "Auntie, be careful."

When Zhang Cui went upstairs and took a look, all he saw was wine and cigarettes.

When I got closer, I saw that they were all Huazi and Maotai.

She had seen these two things in Director Xie's office the last time she went to see Jiang Chen.

Although I didn’t know the price, looking at the appearance of Factory Director Xie’s treasure at that time, I knew it was not cheap.

But now there are so many people here in Jiang Chen.

Zhang Cui was furious, and stepped forward to pinch Jiang Chen's ears: "You prodigal son, why did you buy so much wine and cigarettes? Can't you live a better life?"

Jiang Chen tilted his head: "It hurts, it hurts, Mom, please let go."

Seeing Jiang Chen's painful look, Zhang Cui also let go of his hand.

Jiang Chen took a cigarette and ran down the stairs as if he was running away.

"Slow down, don't fall." Zhang Cui called from behind.

Zhang Cui walked down the stairs, sat at the table and began the three-chamber interrogation: "Come and sit down."

Jiang Chen obediently sat opposite Zhang Cui.

Zhang Cui said: "Tell me, why did you buy so many cigarettes and alcohol?"

"Mom won't tell you if you want to smoke, but wouldn't it be good if you smoked ordinary cigarettes? Why do you have to smoke such expensive cigarettes?"

"If you can't explain clearly, you can see how I will deal with you."

Jiang Chen said: "Mom, you listen to my quibbles, no, listen to my explanation. Smoking is harmful to health, and the cheaper the cigarette, the greater the harm to health."

"For health and the future, I can only smoke more expensive ones."

Jiang Chen began to forcefully defend himself.

Zhang Cui frowned and said, "Then why don't you just quit?"

Jiang Chen said: "I dare you to be an engineer. It takes a lot of mental energy. I smoke to refresh myself so that I can concentrate on thinking."

"And when I smoke, I feel more inspired."

Zhang Cui couldn't object to this reason.

Because she has never done any mental work.

She asked again: "What about the wine?"

Jiang Chen said: "I saved this wine. The market for this wine is good and the leaders like it."

"So I bought some and saved them. I will need them later when I have a relationship. The rest is considered an investment. I can sell it in the future and make a lot of money."

Zhang Cui frowned and said, "Investing is just like speculation. Don't you want to work?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "That's why I told others that I drank it myself."

Zhang Cui said: "How much does a bottle cost if you drink it to death?"

Jiang Chen said: "The market price is three yuan, so I bought it for two and a half yuan."

"That means I don't dare to sell it now, otherwise I would have made at least 50 cents per bottle."

"Two dollars and a half?" Zhang Cui's voice rose a few degrees: "You must have hundreds of bottles there, right?"

Jiang Chen said: "One hundred and fifty bottles."

Zhang Cui slapped the table: "That's more than four hundred yuan? You bastard, did you spend all the money you saved over the years to buy this?"

"How will you get married and raise children in the future?"

Jiang Chen said: "No, I spent more than half of the money I saved before to buy furniture and decorate the house. The money I spent to buy wine was a bonus given by the Ministry of Industry, which is a full thousand."

"I didn't spend half of it."

Zhang Cui took several deep breaths to prevent her heart from being unable to accept it: "What did you do that the Ministry of Industry rewarded you with a thousand yuan?"

She has lived for so many years and has never seen even ten yuan in money except Jiang Chen's salary.

Now Jiang Chen's reward is actually one thousand.

She couldn't believe her ears.

Jiang Chen said: "Xiaoyue is the first batch of pilot workers to set up the training system."

Then, Jiang Chen briefly talked about the training pilot.

Zhang Cui said: "So, you did the work just by talking, and you got so many bonuses?"

"You haven't done anything. You've taken too much. You should return it to others as soon as possible, otherwise the higher-ups will cause trouble for you in the future."

"I don't have enough money, but mom has it! I don't even use the money you gave me, I saved it for you."

Zhang Cui was born and raised in the countryside. Even when Jiang Chen was admitted to a technical secondary school, someone sent him there.

Because she was illiterate, she was afraid that she would not be able to come back after going to the city.

That is to say, after Jiang Chen started working, he followed him to the factory a few times.

In addition, I am a wooden person, so I basically don’t communicate with my mother about work matters.

As a result, she knew very little about these things.

In Zhang Cui's opinion, technicians should repair machine tools, make drawings, and knock around.

The training system was completely beyond her knowledge.

She has always felt that only the income earned through hard work and hands is legitimate income.

Just like centimeters, the more you work, the more you can get.

Just talking, isn't that cheating?

If you fooled the Ministry of Industry, no one will be able to settle accounts with you in the future.

Jiang Chen quickly stopped Zhang Cui, who was about to get the money, and pointed to his head: "I do my work not just with my words, but with here."

"The value generated by brain is often much higher than that produced by hands."

"For example, in this machine tool research and development, I used my brain. Parts processing and other things were all done by Xiaoyue's workers."

"But in the end, it was me who the chief met! Because the value of manual labor is limited, but the knowledge and ideas in the brain are priceless."

Zhang Cui thought for a long time, but couldn't turn his head: "In other words, those who use their brains and mouth are more powerful than those who use their hands?"

Jiang Chen said: "This cannot be generalized. Only a very small number of people can embody value with their brains. The vast majority of people still have to rely on their hands to achieve their dreams."

I can't figure it out, so I just don't think about it anymore. Zhang Cui shook his head: "Okay, okay, I don't understand your stuff."

"Even if this money is a bonus from the Ministry of Industry, you can't spend it randomly. It's better to save more money, maybe you will need it sometime."

"The way I look at it, if you give Xiaoyue all the money to manage, otherwise with your lavish attitude, sooner or later you won't even be able to eat even if you ask for food."

Keep up the good work and save food without panic, this is the thinking of their generation.

Regardless of money or food, save whatever you have.

The more you save, the more confident you will feel.

Even in the planned economy era, there wasn't much food to save, but all the money Jiang Chen gave her was saved, and basically she didn't spend a penny.

Before coming here, because the security department was following her, she couldn't change the food stamps into money and had to give them to her uncle's house. She felt distressed for a long time.

Liu Yue quickly waved her hand: "Auntie, don't, don't, don't, I don't care about money. And I think the leader's idea is right. Money is too risky."

"If I had the chance, I would want to exchange my money for big yellow croaker."

She had experienced an era when one hundred thousand dollars turned into one dollar, and she was worried about what would happen again.

Of course, this is something you should never say.

Moreover, she didn't dare, let alone want to, take care of Jiang Chen's money.

Zhang Cui sighed: "Forget it, I don't care about you young people's affairs."

"Are the neighbors here easy to get along with?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "It's not difficult to get along with, but it's not difficult to get along with either. The yard is big, and there are all kinds of people."

"So you should be more careful. If there are any important matters, it's best not to make decisions on your own. Please discuss it with me."

"Especially the Jia family and the Yan family don't get along well with me."

Zhang Cui nodded: "Okay, I understand! I'm here, let's see who dares to bully my son."

How can a Sichuan woman who can raise a son alone and provide for his son to study be an ordinary person?

If you really piss off Zhang Cui, even God will poke a hole in you.

Laozi Shudaoshan (Laozi counts to 3) best represents the fine tradition of Sichuan women.

And, since ancient times.

Of course, as long as you don't touch her reverse scales, this kind of thing will basically not happen.

She has only one rival - her son Jiang Chen.

So Jiang Chen is not worried that she will suffer in this regard, but is worried that others will take advantage of her kindness and lack of experience.

After a pause, Zhang Cui said: "I'm a little tired too, what are your arrangements for the evening?"

She didn't know which room Liu Yue slept in. After all, she wasn't married yet.

Jiang Chen said: "Mom, you sleep in the middle room, and Xiaoyue can squeeze in with me."

Liu Yue said: "Mom, you've just arrived and you're not familiar with it yet. I'm going to pour you some water to wash your feet!"

"Huh? What did you just call me?"

"I, I, I started to yell, and I followed the leader and shouted." Liu Yue said in a low voice.

Zhang Cui laughed; "It's okay, just call it like that, I like to hear it."
