60s researcher

"That's good." Lu Jian felt that the factory manager really deserved to be the factory manager.

"By the way, what's the progress of the project?" Director Xu asked about the air conditioner project again. It seemed that the Bureau of Commerce was following closely.

"It's almost done, and the prototype will probably come out in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"That's good. The Bureau of Commerce has already asked several times. Someone will come and send the prototype to City G the day after tomorrow when the prototype is released. You will follow when the time comes."

"What am I going to do?" Lu Jian was a little strange.

"Mr. Gus wanted to invite you to exchange in their country. After being rejected, he kept saying that the Bureau of Commerce restricts the personal freedom of citizens and must see you." Director Xu also seemed quite helpless.

"..." Lu Jian was also a little confused, he was represented now.

"Do you have to go?" Lu Jian didn't want to go, he wanted to stay and do research.

"You must go, stay for a day at most, and come back after delivering the things."

"Okay! Then I'll go back first." Lu Jian looked at his watch and got ready for the laboratory.

"There is one more thing. Tomorrow morning, Jian Gong and I have some private matters to go out." Lu Jian remembered that he was going to pick up Professor Xia tomorrow, so he told Director Xu about it.

"You arrange the affairs of the technical department yourself, and I am only responsible for the results." Director Xu still trusts Lu Jian, knowing that he will arrange things well.

When Lu Jian left, he was still a little moved. It's great to have such a leader.

The next morning, Lu Jian and Jian Mingyuan arranged work and went to the station to pick up people. Jian Mingyuan originally wanted to ride a bicycle by himself, but Lu Jian said that taking a car would be faster and save time, so he immediately chose to take a car.

The sun was already high when they arrived at the station, but the car hadn't arrived yet, so the two found a shady place to wait.

Both Lu Jian and Jian Mingyuan were not the ones who took the initiative to find topics, so they just stood silently.

"Aren't you going to do something?" Jian Mingyuan suddenly asked.

"Uh, I'm not in a hurry. I haven't seen Xue Yang for a long time, so I just happened to meet him." Suddenly being asked, Lu Jian panicked for a moment, and then stabilized.If he said yesterday that he came to pick up Lu's father and Lu's mother, Jian Mingyuan would definitely not come.

Jian Ming was far from suspicious, nodded and continued to wait quietly, without any impatience.

The car from the county arrived after a while, and Lu Jian and Jian Mingyuan walked over immediately.The car stopped, and the people on it got off one by one, but the two of them didn't see anyone waiting.Unable to bear the worry, the two got into the car directly.

"Teacher?" Jian Mingyuan saw Professor Xia for the first time, and he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the last time Professor Xia contacted him, he said that the project would take a long time.

"Father." Before Professor Xia could speak, Dodo, who was sitting next to him and Xue Yang, slipped off the chair, squeezed out and threw herself into Jian Mingyuan's arms.Jian Mingyuan came to his senses, stabilized his body, and picked up the little girl directly.

"Father, I miss you so much!" Jian Duoduo put her little cheek against Jian Mingyuan's, coquettishly.

"I miss Blossom too." Although he didn't know why so many people came, Jian Mingyuan was still very happy to see Blossom, and he could clearly see the smile on his face.

"You also know that I'm your teacher. I've been here for more than ten days, and I haven't seen you go back once." When the father and daughter were having fun, Professor Xia finally couldn't help talking. For a long time, I didn't receive a smile.

"Uncle Zeng, you can't call me my father." Before Jian Mingyuan could speak, Jian Duoduo hugged his neck with her short arms, and turned her head to teach Professor Xia, with a fierce face.

"Okay, okay, don't be mean to your father." Seeing such a cute little girl, Professor Xia had no choice but to temporarily give up his previous plan, and smiled softly at the little girl.

"The car has been at the station for a long time. Do you want to sleep on it? Why don't you get off?" Suddenly the conductor under the car yelled, sounding like he was angry.

"Get down immediately." Knowing that it was the wrong group of people, they quickly got out of the car without saying anything.

"Hurry up, do you think the car belongs to your family?"

"Sorry, I'm coming down." Lu Jian quickly apologized.

"One by one, I'm afraid they are laying eggs?" Seeing a group of people coming down, the middle-aged aunt rolled her eyes.

"What's the matter, was it a waste of your gas, or broke your car, and wasted some time soon, so you're still going to give up, right? Do you want to fight?" Seeing this person talking non-stop, Mother Lu couldn't bear it. Living.

"No, no." The conductor saw that Lu's mother was angry, and seeing that there were so many of them, Lu didn't seem to be very annoying, so he ran away immediately.

"Mom, let's go to school first? Sign up for Xue Yang first." Seeing that Lu's mother was still very angry, Lu quickly comforted her.

"That's right, don't delay your child's registration." Lu's mother realized that she was a little embarrassed when she realized that she was so aggressive in front of so many people.

A few beaters took the two children out of the station and got on the city bus. There were not many people on the bus. Lu's father and Lu's mother sat in a row. Jian Mingyuan sat with Professor Xia in his arms, while Lu Jian He sat with Xue Yang.Along the way, Lu's father and Lu's mother kept looking out the window and whispering, pointing at the buildings outside from time to time and smiling happily.Professor Xia said something simple and far from time to time, and then was refuted by the little girl Duoduo, which made him very angry.Lu Jian could only ask Xue Yang about his studies.

The car stopped directly at the gate of the electrical appliance factory. After getting off the car, several people discussed for a while, and finally they split into two groups. Jian Mingyuan took Professor Xia and the others to the school to sign up for Xue Yang, while Lu Jian took Lu's father and mother to the school. Look at the new house.However, the few of them made an appointment to go to the newly opened state-run restaurant for dinner together at noon.

Lu Jian took Lu's father and Lu's mother directly into the family area, and persuaded them to stay here for two more days as they walked, but unfortunately they were rejected when they walked all the way to the door of the room, and the two insisted on going back at night.Lu Jian said that there was no car at night, but Lu's father wanted to ride Lu Jian's bicycle back home.Lu's father is really busy, and he cannot be separated from the team's affairs. He asked Lu's mother to stay here for a few more days, but Lu's mother was determined to refuse, saying "I can't do without your father" and everything Lu Jian said Blocked.

After seeing the house that Lu Jian was allotted to, the smiles on the faces of Lu's father and Lu's mother never faded away. They took a closer look at the whole house, and sometimes said that the houses in the city were beautiful, and sometimes said that it was really clean. , Two people boasted about the house.

"You still lack a lot of things, don't you? Don't you have no money? You have all the money you put in your mother's place, and the money given to you by the branch family. Your mother will keep it for you. It must be easy to say that you are short of money. .” Father Lu saw that the room was empty, and he was still a little worried.

"That's right, you must tell me if you are short of money, or I will forget it for you." Mother Lu also became worried when she heard Father Lu's words.

"Nothing. It's mainly because I've been busy recently. Why don't we go to the supply and marketing cooperative now, and you can help me choose furniture." Lu Jian is really not short of money now. Before, food and accommodation in province D were all arranged by the research institute. Lu Jian's salary was useless, and the Institute also gave him a two-month subsidy. In addition, Lu Jian's rank was raised again, and now he can have a salary of 63 yuan a month.

"Okay, let's go now." Lu's mother really brought a lot of money this time, and when she heard her son said that she was going to buy furniture, she was ready to pay for it herself later.

After closing the door, Lu Jian took Lu's father and mother to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative here is bigger than that in the urban area, and there are many things in it. Many furniture are produced by the furniture factory in S city. Tickets are not required, but the price is really high. Not low.

When Lu Jian and the others passed by, another batch of furniture from the S City Furniture Factory was sent over. Lu Jian really saw that kind of sofa that can be converted into a bed there, but because of the price, more people saw it and fewer people bought it. People still choose ordinary.When Lu Jian went in, he started to pick things up, and under the advice of Lu's father and Lu's mother, he quickly bought everything.He bought a bed, a sofa, a table and chairs for eating, two bookcases and a desk.

But at the checkout, Lu's mother fought with Lu Jian to pay. Lu Jian brought them here to buy things for them. How could he use their money? The scene froze for a while.

"Lu Gong." Suddenly, someone behind him patted Lu Jian on the shoulder.

"You are?" Lu Jian turned his head and saw a strange young man, he was sure he had never seen this person before.

"I'm Yang Xiu from S City Furniture Factory. We met at the Canton Fair before. I followed our factory manager. You must not remember Lu Gong." Yang Xiu smiled nonchalantly.

"Oh." Lu Jian recalled it for a while, but still didn't remember it.

"Is Lu Gong going to buy furniture?" The supply and marketing cooperatives are all products of the S city furniture factory.

"Yes."

"Lu Gong is a great benefactor of our machinery. Why do you buy it? Our factory manager has always said that he will give Lu Gong a complete set. Wait for me to send someone to Lu Gong to the electrical appliance factory." Yang Xiu was sure that he really wanted to buy it. Furniture, we have to run out to find someone.

"Hey, no, the furniture factory is not your factory manager's private property. How can you give it away as soon as you say it? It would be a mistake. I have money and can buy it myself." The cadres abide by the rules very much, and they dare not even use the bus for private use. How can they let the furniture factory directly send their own furniture.

"It's okay, you are a great hero of our door factory, the matter of sending you furniture has been reported, and the higher-ups have agreed, it is considered as your design fee for Lu Gong, absolutely no problem." Yang Xiu smiled, and then said He and Lu Jian explained.

"These two are Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, right? This is what Lu Gong deserves, and it's the fruit of his labor. If our factory manager knows that I ask Lu Gong to collect money, I won't dare to go back to S City." Still wanting to refuse, Yang Xiu hurriedly started a conversation with Lu's father and Lu's mother.

"This..." Father Lu glanced at Lu Jian with some embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

"What you said is true. Has this matter really passed the light of day?" Lu Jian knew that it would be difficult to evade it, so he planned to ask clearly before talking.Now he is no different than when he first came, he dared to openly negotiate terms with the textile factory with things, and nothing happened. Thinking about it now, he is lucky.

"Of course it's true. You can ask Director Xu later. Our director even called Director Xu about this matter."

"That's okay, can you send it over at noon?" Lu Jian knew that there was no problem when he heard that even Director Xu had been brought up, so he accepted it. He checked the time and found that it was past ten o'clock. I have to take Lu's father and mother to buy some things, and I have to go to the state-run restaurant for dinner at eleven o'clock. I really don't have time for this meeting.

"Okay, okay, then Lu Gong will continue to take Uncle and Aunt Lu around." After talking to him, Lu Jian was going to take Lu's father and mother to visit the wardrobe.Before leaving, Father Lu smiled at Yang Xiu.

"Is there anything else you need?" Lu Jian walked a few steps and turned around to find that Yang Xiu was still following them.

"Hey, our factory manager said that if Lu Gong has any good ideas, he must tell us. Our factory really needs it. There are still [-] workers in the factory waiting to eat, so please ask Lu Gong." He bent down and bowed deeply.

"..." This Yang Xiu seemed to be planning to get up if Lu didn't agree.

"Yes." Under the reproachful eyes of Lu's father and Lu's mother, Lu Jian was forced to agree helplessly. He really didn't know much about the furniture industry.

"Hey, thank you Lu Gong." Hearing that Lu Jian promised Yang Xiu, he quickly stood up straight, and showed a grateful smile to Lu's father and mother.

"Anything else?"

"No, no." Hearing that Lu Jian's tone was not very good, he left quickly.

"Lu Jian, they are all making contributions to the country. If you can help, you should help." When they walked away, Lu's father patted Lu Jian on the shoulder and said to him very seriously.

"Understood." Lu Jian didn't refute anything. Most people in this era value collective interests. Although Yang Xiu deliberately exaggerated, Lu's father and Lu's mother were still touched by the three thousand workers wanting to eat.

"Yes, no matter what he said is true or not, but if you have the ability, try to do something that is good for this country." Lu's mother also said something to Lu Jian, who has been with Lu's father for so many years , was greatly influenced by him, Father Lu is a person who has always shouldered the responsibility of the brigade on himself.

"Okay, I got it, I will definitely help." Lu Jian looked at them a little funny, and had no choice but to try to think about what good furniture there will be in the future.

"Let's go, let's go look at the clothes, I just have to buy some clothes." Seeing their comforting look, Lu Jian pushed them to the wardrobe counter.

He said he was buying clothes for himself, but when Lu Jian went, he bought them for Lu's father and mother.Although they kept refusing, in the end Lu Jian bought two of them alone, and in the end Lu Jian also bought two undershirts himself.Then Lu Jian took them to the shoe place, and the three bought a pair of sandals each.

Finally, when they arrived at the state-run hotel, it was exactly eleven o'clock before the restaurant opened, and there was no one else inside except Jian Mingyuan and the others.

"Hey, you are all wearing new shoes." Professor Xia glanced at the new shoes on the three people's feet.

"Lu Jian bought this, right?" He looked at Jian Mingyuan and smiled meaningfully.

"This kid insists on buying it, and we can't stop him." Father Lu shook his feet proudly to see them see more clearly.

Professor Xia took a few more glances at Jian Mingyuan, but unfortunately he was staring at the menu at the restaurant's outlet and didn't notice it at all.

"Jian Gong, don't you want to take Duoduo and the others to go shopping later, you see that Duoduo's clothes are all old, and there are Professor Xia's." Seeing that Professor Xia was about to die of anger, Lu quickly pushed it away Put conciseness away.

"Duoduo, I'll take you to buy new clothes later." Jian Mingyuan started talking to Jian Duoduo when he heard Lu Jian's words. He wanted to buy something for him, completely forgetting about Professor Xia and Xue Yang on the side. .

"..." Lu Jian didn't know what to say anymore.

"I'm going to buy clothes, and I'll buy them for Uncle Zeng, my brother, and my dad." Jian Duoduo laughed, and calmed down Professor Xia's anger with a single sentence.

"Yes, yes, go and buy clothes for Dodo, and also for my brother." Professor Xia directly hugged Dodo and sat beside him, without even looking at Jian Mingyuan.

"Let's see what to eat first?" Lu Jian was afraid that they would start a fight, so he hurriedly asked Lu's father and mother what to eat.

"I'm getting a fish, and I'm making meatballs, just for Duo Duo." Hearing that he wanted to order, Professor Xia looked at the menu and ordered two meat dishes.

"Then stir-fry vegetables and make a soup."

"We can all do it." Seeing that Professor Xia ordered four dishes at once, Lu's father and Lu's mother waved their hands and felt that it was enough.

"Let's have eggplant and scrambled eggs." Lu Jian checked the number of people and added two more dishes.

The food came soon, the taste was good, adults and children were very happy to eat, in the end Jian Mingyuan paid for it, Lu Jian wanted to pay, but was stopped by Professor Xia.He said that Lu's father and mother were invited to eat this meal, and thanked them for taking care of them for so many days, but Lu Jian had no choice but to ask Jian Mingyuan to pay for it.
