In the evening of midsummer, the heat gradually recedes with the dim light of the sky, and the robins sing one after another among the dense tree crowns, playing the symphony of midsummer.

Yuan Xia rode a bicycle across the steaming asphalt road, and could still see the ruts left by the car on the sun-dried asphalt road at noon, and went home facing the warm wind and sunset.

On the side of the road, someone was pulling a cart to sell watermelons. The watermelons were big and round, with leaves still on them. They were fresh and fresh. Obviously, they had just been picked from the field not long ago, and they were picked by melon farmers in the suburbs in the afternoon.

Yuan Xia bought a watermelon, put it in a net bag, hung it on the faucet of the car, and carried it back carefully, for fear that it would break if it moved too much.

When I got home, it was almost dark, the street lights at the door were already on, and all kinds of moths and flying insects were flying on the faint yellow light bulbs.

Yuan Xia stopped the car, took out the key and prepared to open the door, but before inserting it into the keyhole, the door opened from the inside, and Yu Xingyi greeted him with a smiling face: "You're back?"

"Yeah." Yuan Xia took the watermelon off the faucet and handed it to Yu Xingyi, "The melons I bought on the road are very fresh."

Yu Xing took it: "I bought it too, and I went to the next door to dig a well and soak it in water. After a while, I will eat it after dinner. Let's save this for tomorrow."

"Okay." Yuan Xia carried the car into the yard, "Grandpa and the others have already left? Is the car late?"

"Half an hour late." Yu Xingyi said, "Go and wash your face, come to eat."

Today Yuan Qiu and the others set off for Beijing, fearing that grandpa would become suspicious, Yuan Xia didn't even dare to go to the train station to see him off, but asked Yu Xing's generation to see him off.

The two moved a small square table, sat in the yard to eat, and lit two mosquito coils by their feet.

As soon as Yu Xing is on summer vacation, no matter how busy he is, Yuan Xia will come back to spend the night, try his best to come back for dinner.

Yuan Xia asked: "My grandfather saw Qu Wenyuan, did he say anything?"

Yu Xing laughed as soon as he thought of that scene: "Grandpa didn't say anything, Wen Yuan was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, and he made a mistake in introducing himself. I guess Grandpa must be thinking that Xiaoqiu found someone Stutter, hahaha."

"Sure enough, he stuttered again, as expected of him." Yuan Xia also laughed.

Yu Xingyi said again: "Not only that, but also a few funny things, I can't help but sympathize with him."

"Really? Tell me quickly." Yuan Xia was very interested in Qu Wenyuan's making a fool of himself.

Qu Wenyuan accompanied Yuan Qiu's boyfriend.

In May, Yuan Qiu finally agreed to Qu Wenyuan's pursuit, and the two established a romantic relationship.

The only person in the family who knows their relationship is Yuan Xia.Yuan Qiu didn't intend to tell her grandpa about this before graduation, she was afraid that grandpa would be worried, and she was also afraid of setting a bad example for her younger siblings, so she fell in love before finishing the book.

On the other hand, Yuan Xia thinks it's nothing, college students have grown up, it's very normal to fall in love, as long as they keep the bottom line.

He recognized Qu Wenyuan's character and ability. If his sister could really get together with him, it would be a good thing.

Campus romances are always the purest. A simple person like my sister should have a simple and pure happiness.

They still have one year to graduate, Yuan Qiu doesn't plan to pursue further study, he will start working after graduation, Qu Wenyuan still plans to go to graduate school, if he waits for him to graduate before getting married, Yuan Xia thinks the age is just right, 24 or [-] years old, they are mature enough to not too early.

Although Yuanqiu has attended university in Yuecheng for three years, he has no travel experience.When Qu Wenyuan proposed to go with him, Yuan Xia readily agreed.

Firstly, Qu Wenyuan has travel experience, and secondly, there is a saying that traveling is an excellent opportunity to test his character and character, allowing his family to see Qu Wenyuan's character and character.

Yu Xingyi told Qu Wenyuan about the stupid things he did, and Yuan Xia slapped the table: "The first time I saw my grandfather, he made all kinds of fools, and even in front of my younger brothers and sisters, how will he restore his image in the future? .It's too miserable just thinking about it."

"I also sympathize with him. He's not like that usually. It's probably the first time he sees his elders and he's too nervous." Yu Xing couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene of Qu Wenyuan splashing his own crotch with orange soda.

Yuan Xia laughed enough, sighed and said: "I should accompany grandpa to Beijing, but I can't."

Yu Xingyi comforted him: "There will be opportunities in the future."

Yuan Xia said: "I must take time to walk around with my grandfather, so that he can see more of the world. I hope he will be healthy and live a long life."

It can be said that the brothers and sisters who are now able to become like this are all thanks to grandpa. If it weren't for him as the backbone to guard the family, no matter how capable they are, they would not be as happy as they are now, at least they would not be able to take care of their younger siblings all the time.

"Grandpa is in good health and mentality, and he will live a long life." Yu Xingyi said.

Yuan Xia said again: "I also said that I would accompany you to Xinjiang to find my sister. It seems that this summer vacation is not going well."

Yu Xing stopped and looked at Yuan Xia: "The factory has just started to improve, and we can't do without you at all. Next year, if you don't have time next summer, I'll go by myself."

Yuan Xia said: "I will definitely find time to accompany you next year."

After Yu Xingyi's older sister Yu Zhiwen arrived in Xinjiang, she went through many ups and downs and encountered many changes. Her final settlement was almost half of Xinjiang away from where she was originally stationed. You have to go by yourself.

Yu Xing nodded: "Okay. It would be great if there is news about my parents, I don't know if they are still alive."

This is the first time Yu Xingyi mentioned his parents to Yuan Xia.

Yuan Xia tentatively asked: "Where did uncle and aunt go?"

Yu Xing shook his head: "I don't know. That year they received a job transfer order and sent me back here, and there was no news about it. I don't know if they are dead or alive now, and what kind of work can make them disappear for more than 20 years. What about no news? Sometimes I don’t dare to think about it.”

Yuan Xia put his hand on the back of Yu Xing's hand: "Maybe he is carrying out some important task. If there is no news, maybe it is good news."

Yu Xing smiled wryly. His parents were too far away and unfamiliar to him. If there were not some old photos kept at home, he would not be able to remember their appearance. Even if his parents were standing in front of him now, would he recognize them? ?

Yuan Xia looked at him more and more distressed, and grabbed his hand: "Xing Yi, believe me, one day, they will all come back."

Yu Xing took a sniff, then held his hand in reverse: "Maybe what you said is right, no news is good news. At least there is still a thought in my heart."

Yuan Xia rubbed his fingers on the back of his hand for a moment, then let go of him, and went to collect the bowls and chopsticks on the table: "Let's eat watermelon."

"Okay." Yu Xing stood up, wanting to get the watermelon.

Yuan Xia raised his hand and pressed on his shoulder: "Don't go, I'll come, and cut it up by the way."

Yuan Xia took out the watermelon in the bucket. The well water was cold and comfortable to the touch. He cut the watermelon in half, took two spoons, and came out holding half of the watermelon in one hand: "Don't cut it. Alright, let's have half of each of us."

"Okay." Yu Xingyi took the watermelon, dug it with a spoon and ate it.

"Isn't eating like this the most enjoyable?" Yuan Xia said with a smile.

"Yes. It seems to be back to my childhood."

Yuan Xia smiled: "I was not so lucky when I was a child, I was able to eat half a watermelon. Our family has many children, and a big watermelon can only be divided into two slices." He stretched out two fingers while talking.

Yu Xingyi said: "Then how lively your home was when you were young."

"When I was young, I didn't think it was lively. I just thought it was too noisy. It was either crying or making noise. A group of young people robbed me of food and took care of them. They couldn't enjoy themselves while playing. At that time, I was envious of families with few children. If I knew you, you would definitely be the object of my envy." Yuan Xia laughed.

Yu Xingyi said enviously: "But how happy I am now, with so many brothers and sisters, I will never feel lonely, and my brothers and sisters are still so upbeat and obedient."

Yuan Xia said: "Yes. I am very grateful to have their company now, and thank my parents for giving birth to five of us. The young ones are really up to date."

After the busy last month, by July, the rhythm of the factory has been completely controlled, and the processing is done in an orderly manner every day.

Qin Lin continues to be responsible for running the market, delivering goods to old customers, and expanding new markets by the way.

Yu Xingyi saw that Yuan Xia was so busy and wanted to come over to help during the summer vacation, but in the end he didn't need his help at all, and was pushed back by Yuan Xia to study electric sewing machines.

The principle of an electric sewing machine is similar to that of a sewing machine, the difference is that it is driven by electricity and has an electric motor, which is the key to the sewing machine.

The biggest problem with domestic machines is the engine, so far there is no self-developed engine.

Yu Xing got stuck, the engine was not something he could fix in a short time by himself, he activated the members of the Science and Technology Club, but these students were okay with simple mechanical power, the engine was too complicated, and they had nothing to do.

Yu Xingyi discussed with Yuan Xia: "I'm afraid I have to find colleagues in power engineering to study together. This is not the group of students from the Science and Technology Club, so you can't call it casually."

Yuan Xia frowned: "Yes, the electric motor is the key. The engine is still too difficult for us now, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources."

Inviting professionals to research engines is not just a matter of giving meager subsidies to the kids in the Science and Technology Society. It requires the establishment of a project team and a lot of money. Throwing in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars may be just a matter of hearing. At present It was really difficult for him.

Yu Xingyi said: "The design drawing is actually easy to disassemble and design. The key is the material and precision of the parts. I'm afraid it's difficult to produce them in China."

"You're right. Our country is still far behind in this regard. If not, let's leave the engine alone. You disassemble the other components, and we can build the ones that can be made in China. If we can't, let's buy them." Yuan Xia decided to import the engine first.

Regarding the import of parts and components, it is actually not a simple job. Small factories like Xingyuan Machinery have no possibility of obtaining the right to operate import and export, and the volume is too small.

If you want to import parts, you must find a qualified large factory for help, or find a foreign trade company as an agent.

The bearing factory is also not qualified. The one that is qualified is the Yuecheng Machinery Factory. When the bearing factory bought imported second-hand equipment, it was imported through the machinery factory.

Yuan Xia couldn't ask Cui Pingsheng for help, and he didn't have the face to ask the machinery factory for help. It seemed that he had to find a foreign trade company as an agent first.

This is not difficult, the most difficult thing is the problem of funds, which cannot be solved with a little money.Now the screw factory can earn thousands of dollars a month in net income, but it is just a drop in the bucket for buying engines.
