The two brothers looked at Aunt Zhao sympathetically and walked into their yard. Lao Tie was walking back and forth in the yard wearing a new suit and floral tie.
"This thing isn't warm either. Your big breasts are outside! There's also this hanging rope that strangles your neck and makes you unable to breathe."
Mother stood behind her and covered her mouth in laughter. Lao Tie stared at Tie Jun. Tie Jun was getting hairy. If he didn't like it, he wouldn't hit him, right?
"Hey hey hey, I was just joking. Dad also knows how to keep pace with the times. Those little devils wearing uniforms all wear these things."
Tie Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Tie is quite weird now. He is becoming more enlightened day by day!
"Da Ya, come back, at least you can have some warm food to eat."
Lao Tie glanced at Da Ya, said a word, and turned around to go into the house to change clothes. Da Ya didn't move for a long time and didn't quite believe that it was his father who said this.
"Da Ya, you are just standing there, your father has asked you to go home."
"Oh, Mom, I..."
Da Ya couldn't talk anymore, so she walked into the house and started washing the pots and vegetables. Her mother smiled and helped while Tie Jun entered the house and got on the kang to roll cigarettes for Lao Tie.
"Dad, smoke!"
When Lao Tie came back after changing his clothes, Tie Jun also rolled up a cigarette and handed it over with a smile. Lao Tie glanced at Tie Jun, took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff.
"What else happened?"
"Dad, um, since you let Daya go home, stop looking at her and let her go out and have some adventures!"
"Where are you going to break in? You can't break in, but you're all after money?"
"That's not what I mean. Da Ya sings well, and if someone wants to package her up, she might become famous!"
"Packing? You can pull it off. You haven't wrapped it yourself. If you let someone else wrap it, it will be more awkward!"
Tie Jun can't chat anymore. We are not on the same channel. Let's talk about it later!
Thinking of this, Tie Jun stopped talking about Daya and started asking about orders from the factory.
"We are a heavy industry company. As you know, we have been engaged in military industry for so many years and have taken orders from the state.
Now is the time of peace. Not only is there disarmament, but there is also less work.
In the past few years of reform and opening up, the whole country has been busy with economic construction, and our heavy industry factories in the Northeast have been suffering.
Especially this year, a lot of workers have been lost, and they have all gone to sea."
Tie Jun nodded and said, "Dad, that little devil's order is very important."
"That goes without saying. To be honest with you, your dad was scared today. That thing is too thin and there is no baffle. It's really hard for dad to beat that little girl."
"That's because her mental quality is not good enough and she has not reached the state of selflessness!"
Lao Tie sighed, "It's a fluke today, Dajun, you didn't see those machines made by the Germans, tsk tsk, they are so sophisticated, we won't accept it!"
"Well, indeed, Dad, then the factory director has no idea of a way out of your current situation?"
"We are all like this in heavy machinery. Those small factories have already snatched away the work they can at low prices."
Tie Jun was silent for a while, and after Lao Tie took two puffs of cigarette, he said: "Dad, you need to talk to the factory director. It has been so long since the Baojun has been converted to civilians, and he doesn't have a plan to deal with it?"
"He is more anxious than anyone else. Bei'an's 626, the leading manufacturer of firearms, was great before, but look at it now, it's not as good as us!
The factory has held several meetings, and I have participated, but no one dares to draw conclusions on how to transform, whether it can keep up with the situation, and what to produce!"
"Dad, look, if we don't talk about other places, let's talk about our Ice City. What has changed the most?"
"It goes without saying that building a building would be a good thing if not demolishing it. Isn't that how the fourth child was arrested? By the way, that..."
Lao Tie lowered his voice, stood on tiptoe and glanced at the outhouse, then turned and approached Tie Jun.
"Well, you have contacted those people from the city bureau. Is Tie Biao okay?"
"It's okay. He runs a repair shop and sells motorcycles. Those illegal things have nothing to do with him."
"Oh, that's good! Just keep talking."
"Dad, building buildings, building roads, mining, and extracting oil are all the most popular industries now. They all have a common need, and that is construction machinery.
And our heavy industry can produce these things, such as graders, cranes, pile drivers, drilling rigs, etc.
You have a wide network of contacts and have acquaintances in major factories across the country. Please ask, how many of them produce these engineering equipment in large quantities?"
"What are you asking about? There are more opportunities for factories in the south. I know all about the factories in the north. Shenyang has taken action, but it's just a small fuss. We're afraid of policy changes."
Tie Jun closed his eyes and reorganized his words.
"Dad, this is a chain. As economic development accelerates, the demand for raw materials will become greater and greater. Then the mining of raw materials requires large-scale construction machinery.
Let's put it this way, it's the same as going into the sea. Whoever goes down first can catch big crabs. If there are more people waiting, nothing can be caught.
Those who went to sea early, got benefits, and had money, they will buy boats and go into the deep sea to continue fishing. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand. I have to organize my language well and think about how to tell the factory director, hey, can you just follow me then?"
Tie Jun was delighted. The words "just waiting for dad" were all foreshadowing.
It’s not like no one in the heavy industry has thought of this. The key is the equipment. I can’t afford it. If I can get the deposit, can’t I refurbish Lao Maozi’s equipment?
In one year, the Soviet Union will be separated. At this time, the Soviet Union is in a precarious state, with little food and clothing. As long as it has food and clothing, it can be exchanged for a wife, not to mention equipment!
Lao Tie didn't know his son's calculations. He just thought that if the factory could survive, it would be able to retain more workers. After working for more than 20 years, Lao Tie's soul had already been cast into heavy industry.
The two men were chatting with each other in a lively manner. When Erya and Xiaoshui came in, they didn't notice. It wasn't until they called for dinner that Lao Tie burst out laughing.
"Son, you have learned this lesson in vain. What is it called? Oh, yes, it is reasonable and well-founded. Tomorrow, go to the factory with dad and have a good chat with your Uncle Xu!"
The round table was brought in and the two of them went down to the kang. Lao Tie got the wine and Tie Jun moved the stools. Da Zhuang still didn't come back. He was used to being wild and no one took it seriously.
After the dishes were placed, Xiao Shui poured wine for his master, his wife, and Tie Jun, and he also poured some. Lao Tie offered a glass to grandma as usual and came back to pick up the wine glass.
"A narrow victory. Thank you for supporting me. Old lady, your son has not embarrassed you. Come on, take a big sip if you have wine, and bite a steamed bun if you don't have wine."
Lao Tie stretched out his head and smiled at grandma's photo, and Erya came to clink glasses with Lao Tie with a steamed bun in a funny manner.
Lao Tie immediately squinted his eyes and smiled, patted the table and stared at Da Ya.
"Where are you Gaha?"
"Me, cheers dad!"
Da Ya was flattered that her father could still care about her. She picked up the steamed bun and put it on the wine glass in Lao Tie's hand. Everyone laughed together, and her mother even reached out and touched Da Ya's hair.
"Why don't you enter the house for me next time? You almost went in this time. Do you still want to be a co-op next year?"
Gao Xiaoyan's voice came in, and then Da Zhuang was kicked in with handcuffs. He started having sex as soon as he entered the door. Gao Xiaoyan followed him into the house with wide eyes.
