Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home

Ngee Ann Military Region, Troop Reception Office.

"Squad leader, we are here to accompany you to find a blind date, not to perform. We sang and danced about this incidental consolation mission. It's time for you to find a match."

"I know, I don't want to stay here in Ngee'an either. It's just that how can I go see him now? I shouldn't have promised grandpa."

"How are you going to meet? Just go to him and talk to him. You won't be attracted to him anyway. Are you really planning to marry to Ngee Ann? The taste here is too spicy. It goes with rice, but it's still a bit tasteless. Not used to it."

"Monitor, are you shy?"

"What are you so shy about? There are so many men in the army. Look at who I have ever seen who is shy."

"That's different. What you want to see is the person you want to go on a blind date with."

The reason why the four female soldiers from the art troupe were deployed to Ngee Ann was to perform condolences. But in fact, three people accompanied the squad leader Dai Qianxi to see their blind date. This was arranged by the squad leader's grandfather. If she didn't accept the arrangement, her parents would find a partner for her in the army.

Dai Qianqian has a strong personality and is a little averse to finding a partner. The main reason is that most men in this era look down on women, but she is good-looking. No matter where she is, she will always be taken care of by her gender. This actually makes her disgusted and feels that even care is unnecessary. As a woman, she does not think that she is inferior to men, and because of this thought, she is a little disgusted with men.

Now she is a little confused, whether she is disgusted with men's concept of women, or just disgusted with men. In this era, it is normal for men to hit women, and they always say that women have long hair and short knowledge, but she has already thought about it. If she gets married in the future, if her man dares to hit her, she will definitely fight back.

"How about we go to the repair shop to show condolences. Find a chance to meet, and if it works, we can go back to work."

Zhao Qian suggested. Everyone could see that the squad leader was just tough-talking. He was really not shy. He could just go to the auto repair shop and find that man.

"Monitor, what if you don't like this? Your parents won't introduce you to someone when you get back."

Tan Meng, the art soldier who came with him, asked curiously. He came here because he didn't want to find anyone in the army. He said he was too rigid and wanted to avoid his parents' arrangements. But if you don't like it, not only will your trip be in vain, but you will still have to face your parents to introduce your partner when you get back.

What Tan Meng said, in fact, Dai Qianqian also considered it, but she thought that as long as she was not too bad, not chauvinistic, not rigid, and did not interfere with her favorite literary and artistic work, she would just get married and save her family members. Annoyed every day. The most important thing is that grandpa said that he only drove and repaired cars in the army. He was considered a technical soldier. When the time came, he would find an opportunity to try his skills. If she couldn't beat him, she wouldn't marry him. I've beaten him, and I'm not afraid of his machismo.

"Okay, just follow what you said, Zhao Qian, and contact the car repair shop tomorrow to conduct a local performance to express condolences. Let them be responsible for the reception."

Ngee Ann Auto Repair Shop.

As soon as Luo Cheng arrived at the factory, he first paid for the food stamps in the cafeteria. This lunch meal consumed almost two kilograms of rice stamps. This was not enough to eat fine grains every day, and it made matters worse. There is still a lot of coarse grains. Although engineers receive additional subsidies, this subsidy has nothing to do with rationing. Instead, when the salary is paid every month, some food stamps, oil stamps, meat stamps, etc. are given in the form of receipts. It won’t be available until early next month.

After I paid my ticket and went upstairs to find Factory Manager Zhang, the Factory Manager was sleeping in the office again. The factory manager would go downstairs for inspections from time to time, but he didn't care about anything.

However, I have to say that the sixth-level mechanic is quite good. He can recite various parts and models of a car. Or even put it this way, if you tell us the model number of an accessory, he will know what car it is used on. You can even tell where it was produced.

So when Luo Cheng came back, Director Zhang had already written down various models of engines, bearings, transmissions, etc. on his desk. Luo Cheng only had to answer a multiple-choice question and then submit it for purchase. Originally, Luo Cheng said that we would discuss it together when he came back, because he didn't know what accessories were available in this era.

After Director Zhang did this, Luo Cheng had nothing to do when he returned to the factory. But even though it didn't happen, he wanted the factory director to take him to the poultry breeding factory and ask them to sponsor some poultry tickets. Then he would draw a cake for them first, and said that he was currently developing a car and producing it for They modified the structure to make it easier to pull chickens and ducks.

"Team Leader Luo, this is a good idea, but there is no need to specially modify it for them. The poultry farms are only responsible for breeding and not selling. People from the farmers' market use their cars to pull the goods. People in the farmers' market are actually the same as supply and marketing cooperatives. , is a separate department.”

"Okay, the breeding farm is not far away, go and paint a pie for them."

"Drawing a pie? What do you mean?"

"It means painting cakes to satisfy hunger. Let's fool them with something they want that we don't have yet."

"Just lie, high school students just like to use garbled words, but it's better than just telling people to lie."

Luo Cheng smiled awkwardly. Drawing cakes to satisfy hunger is a fable that has long existed, but the idea of ​​drawing cakes was actually popular on the Internet in later generations. In this era, if you say painting cakes for others, there are really not many people. Can understand what it means.

"The breeding farm is quite far away. It is near Qinghekou on the outskirts of the city. Pig factories and chicken and duck raising factories are relatively remote. The smell is not good and the area is large. It is easier to clean up at Qinghekou. One round trip is enough time, but you also need time to talk to people about this matter."

Luo Cheng nodded. He actually wanted to go to the poultry breeding factory, mainly because he hadn't used up his sign-in today and wanted to try there to see if he could get a chicken or eggs. Luo Bing didn't hold a banquet when he got married, but they both had a family dinner together. He felt that the whole chicken would be a good sign.

But it’s far away, so let’s try it tomorrow. You can’t delay the factory manager from getting off work because of your own petty thoughts.

"Hey, by the way, I bought the things you asked for, and I asked them to put them in your office. It cost a lot of money, do you still have any money on you?"

Director Zhang saw that Luo Cheng had no intention of forcing him to go to the breeding farm, and suddenly thought that not long after Luo Cheng left with his sister at noon, people from the logistics department bought back what Luo Cheng wanted. But a lot of money was spent. Luo Cheng bought two pots, a large stove pot and a smaller stove pot. But these days the pots are thicker and the iron is still valuable, so both pots cost six or seven yuan. , plus coal-burning iron stoves, spatulas, tongs, etc., you also have to pay to get a hot water bottle from the canteen.

By the way, I'm almost twenty. In this era, there is often no money. It is not an adjective to say that people are willing to sell iron to others. But in many homes, the only thing that is probably really valuable is a large iron pot. If you sell it as scrap metal, you can get more than half of the price of a new pot.

I haven't found the price of scrap iron in this era, but a pot does cost a few dollars. Still owe 33 chapters.
