The sea and sky are vast, and the sea breeze is blowing.
A giant ship is walking on the sea, and the sound of dock can be heard from time to time.
"It's almost there! It's almost there!" Many people on the boat became excited and told each other happily.
Xue Ling secretly rejoiced, thinking about the radio she sent to her father two days ago. She wondered if he had come to the pier to pick her up.
She was not very familiar with the docks in the Imperial Capital. It was far, far away from the city, and it sometimes took two hours to drive there.
I thought it would take at least half a day to move and install forty machines. Plus looking for a car, I might have to finish getting off the ship in the evening.
Fortunately, it's only noon now.
We saw the shore, but it took more than half an hour to reach it.
Xue Ling had long been tired of eating the food on the ship. He ate some biscuits to fill his stomach and went to the control room to discuss with the captain how to unload the cargo.
"Don't worry about this." The captain said: "We have a crane on the ship, and we can get it out soon. You should contact the big truck to pick it up as soon as possible. I guess it will have to be transported back and forth many times."
Xue Ling nodded and planned to get off the boat and call his father.
As we docked, the passengers disembarked one after another, laughing loudly for a while.
Everyone stayed on the boat for more than ten days, and everyone got tired of staying there, so they packed their luggage and got off the boat.
Xue Ling was pushed down by the crowd and pushed ashore again.
"Ling Ling! Ling!" Several male voices shouted loudly!
Xue Ling hurriedly looked around and saw her father, surrounded by several men, waving to her happily!
She shouted happily: "Dad! Dad!"
Xue's father hurriedly led people and walked towards her.
Xue Ling held his old father's hand and said with a smile: "Dad, have you been waiting for a long time? I don't know the specific time of disembarkation, so I will tell you today."
A tall man in his forties laughed and said enthusiastically: "We have been here since the morning and have been waiting here."
Xue Ling heard his voice and recognized him immediately.
"Are you Uncle Zheng Sanyuan? Your voice is very clear and easy to recognize!"
Dad Xue smiled and explained: "Yes, he is Xiao Zheng. Is the road going well?"
"It was not smooth at first, but after many twists and turns, I finally bought it." Xue Ling wrote lightly: "Fortunately, with the help of a few friends, I got on the ship smoothly. I only said that it was a few embroidery machines for making clothes. After the captain sent someone to check,
He said it was okay and then got on the boat and came over."
Zheng Sanyuan gave her a thumbs up and praised: "Lingling is only in her twenties. She has such courage and courage to go to Xg City and bring back such rare things. I have to admire you! Brother Xue, you guys
This is a tiger father without a dog daughter!"
Father Xue breathed a sigh of relief, finally letting go of the worries that were high in his heart, but his mouth still didn't hurt or itch.
"Why don't we just buy a few machines? Just come back safely. I'm afraid she got lost on the road!"
Xue Ling laughed and didn't care at all.
"Dad, quickly find a group of trucks and find some people to help."
Zheng Sanyuan said quickly: "I have been looking for it a long time ago. This is my friend who is engaged in freight transportation. He has more than a dozen Dongfang trucks on hand and sent five of them this morning."
Xue Ling thought for a while and replied: "I estimate that one can only accommodate two units at most. If there is no other help, then we can only make a few more trips."
Zheng Sanyuan turned his head and shouted: "Xiao Li, go call your uncle and ask him if he still has a car. How many cars are there? How many people can come to help."
The young man responded readily and ran away quickly.
The ship was unloading very slowly. Fortunately, the machine Xue Ling bought was placed at the other end, on the outermost side, so we didn't have to wait too long.
Forty machines took about five hours to be transferred to the truck and taken away.
Twelve vehicles drove back and forth, and finally finished at around 8pm, transporting all the machines into the new factory building.
Xue Ling looked left and right, and saw that the new factory building was wide and bright, and said happily: "During the Chinese New Year, this was still a dirt field with long grass, but in a blink of an eye, it has become a wide and bright factory building."
Zheng Sanyuan wiped his sweat and explained: "Dozens of workers rushed to build it, and it was completed in a month. I asked a few friends to install electricity, and also had people decorate the dormitory and small canteen. It was completed two days ago. Everything was ready.
I owe Dongfeng, but now that the machine has arrived, I owe nothing."
Xue Ling was very tired and suggested: "Uncle Zheng, you have to find some more professional machine workers to see if there are any areas that need to be repaired. This batch of machines are all new and have never been used. But the journey is long.
It is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps, but it is best to repair and take a look."
"Don't worry, I can do this." Zheng Sanyuan explained: "I am born in this field. I usually repair and maintain machines in our factory. I just looked at it and it was a fully automatic model from a few years ago.
Type, I’ve read its manual, I should be able to tinker with it.”
"Yo!" Xue Ling couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "You are hiding your secret!"
Zheng Sanyuan stopped and said modestly: "I can't compare to you, I can't compare to you! Lingling, you are so clever! I was about to give up, but I didn't expect that you were so clever that you could go all the way to buy such a batch.
machine!"
Xue Ling shook hands with him and said with a smile: "From now on, the factory will have to be managed by you, uncle. My home is over there in Rongcheng, so I can't stay here forever."
"It's easy to talk about." Zheng Sanyuan said: "You take a rest first, and we will discuss it carefully later."
Xue's father took her to the clothing factory.
Mother Xue made a table of dishes and waited eagerly. When she saw the father and daughter coming back, she quickly turned around to heat the dishes.
"Quick! Are you all hungry? Eat the chicken on the table first."
Xue Ling washed her hands, took out the big chicken drumstick, and gnawed it.
"Wow... it's so refreshing... I'm so hungry! Mom, you don't know that I eat brown rice and flatbread every day on the boat. I'm so greedy that I wake up hungry at night... It's so delicious!"
Father Xue laughed and scolded: "Slow down! Be careful of choking!"
Mother Xue looked at her half-thin daughter and whispered distressedly: "Eat quickly! The vegetables are hot in the pot, so you can eat until you are full! So you won't be greedy anymore!"
"It's delicious!" Xue Lingling ate happily.
Xue's father Sri ate a bowl slowly on the side. He wanted his daughter to tell him how he bought this batch of goods, but seeing that she was enjoying the meal very much, he endured it until the whole family was full.
Then we sat down and had a good chat.
There is a canteen in the factory, and the meals in the office are cooked by the ladies in the canteen.
After they finished eating, two fat ladies came in and took the things out.
Xue's mother looked at her daughter's pale face and couldn't help but whisper: "You won't be able to sleep well on the boat, it's swaying. I'll prepare a small bed for you. Take a hot bath and rest early."
"Okay." Xue Ling caressed her full belly with a look of innocence on her face.
Dad Xue asked: "How did you buy it? Didn't you say that you only had enough money to buy about thirty units? Why did you buy ten more units? One unit costs tens of thousands!"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, whispering: "I guessed there would be twists and turns at first, but I didn't expect it to be so twists and turns. I first went to find an old classmate. She is very familiar with XG City because she often goes there to get some things.
They sell it here. I couldn't buy it at first and they refused to sell it. I searched for a few days and found a second-hand machine market. I saw more than a dozen of them. Unfortunately, they were all dilapidated and I didn't know if they could be used, so I didn't dare.
Buy it. The owner of the market reminded me that I can go to the customs to buy it, but if I don’t have the skills, I definitely won’t be able to buy it.”
"Customs?" Father Xue was frightened when he heard this, and asked: "What happened next?"
Xue Ling smiled mysteriously and said: "This batch of goods was smuggled by a ship from country Y. The first and second batches were intercepted by customs, and the goods were confiscated. The goods were detained in the warehouse for more than three years. I
I bought them at 40% of the bargain market price."
