Chapter 289 She Guaranteed
Xu Sui nodded. "Yes, Factory Manager, it was designed by me."
What do you think?
Looking at the perfectly designed harvester blueprints before him, Factory Director Hao was excited, his face flushed. He nodded quickly, "Good, very good."
"Xiao Xu, I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to be serious."
Although their area is mountainous, the terrain is actually quite flat, especially in the areas where crops are grown.
If this harvester can be manufactured, it will definitely play a significant role in the autumn harvest and greatly improve harvesting efficiency.
Xu Sui breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "Factory manager, if you think it's feasible, then let's proceed with researching the manufacturing of this harvester. What do you think?"
Although the design drawings were provided, the materials and technology needed later were beyond the capabilities of their small machinery factory.
To successfully build the first harvester, a long-term plan is needed.
Factory Director Hao was stunned for a moment, then gradually fell silent, plopping down in his chair, all traces of his earlier joy and excitement gone.
He sighed, "It's easier said than done. You've seen the conditions of our factory. We don't even have a decent machine tool. How could we possibly build a harvester?"
"Xiao Xu, you are a talented person. You shouldn't have come to our small place. This place will only bury your talent."
University students in this era are considered highly skilled individuals, and Xiao Xu's school is so good, and her past experience is so outstanding. With her qualifications and abilities, she can definitely stay in Beijing.
Shining brightly in those large machinery factories, you might be able to climb the ranks quickly after a few years and become an engineer.
Unlike them, no matter how hard they work their whole lives, they can only be a small technician, at most considered to have entered the industry.
Xu Sui shook her head. "Factory manager, how do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried?"
"Here's what we'll do. You leave this to me, and I'll take care of it. I guarantee you'll see the first harvester our factory has built within three months."
"However, I still need your help. I'm new to the factory and not familiar with anything here yet."
Factory Director Hao paused for a moment, his gaze towards Xu Sui becoming complicated. After a long while, he finally spoke:
"Xiao Xu, this matter is not as simple as you think. The design drawings can be made, but some things are truly missing."
"Our factory is dirt poor, we have nothing. The most valuable thing in our factory is those few old machine tools, but as you can see, those machine tools are not capable of making harvesters at all."
Xu Sui said seriously, "Don't worry, Factory Director. The fact that I dared to say this means that I have my own plans."
"Just help me when I need it, and I'll make sure you see the first harvester manufactured in our factory within three months."
Factory Director Hao didn't take the matter to heart, but thinking that he couldn't dampen the young people's confidence, he sighed and waved his hand, saying:
"Okay, do whatever you want. If you have any difficulties, just come to me, and I'll definitely help if I can."
Anyway, there's nothing valuable in the factory, so let her do whatever she wants. Consider it a lesson for the young people.
……
On his first day at work, Xu Sui did nothing but familiarize himself with the entire factory and then went to Ma Honghua in the personnel department to inquire about some things.
Finally, when it was time to leave work, Xu Sui rode her old bicycle back to the family compound.
On the way home, there was a steep hill that left her breathless, sweating profusely, and the few strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to her face.
Xu Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting over the slope.
Fortunately, there was only one big slope; if there were more, she would be exhausted.
Surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, blue skies and white clouds, the air is fresh, and a gentle breeze blows in your face.
Xu Sui's heart gradually calmed down.
After touring the machine factory today, she had a general idea of how to build the first harvester without any resources.
Now all that's left is to put it into practice.
Back at the residential compound, it was getting dark.
This is the time when every household eats and cooks. As you approach the residential compound, the rich aroma of food wafts through the air.
It smells so good it makes your mouth water.
After a long day, Xu Sui was actually hungry.
I went up to the second floor of my own apartment.
When I bumped into people, they kept greeting me.
"Sui Sui, where have you been? Why are you so late?"
"Sister-in-law, I just got home from get off work."
"Really? You just joined the army, how come you already have a job? Did your Political Commissar Qin pull some strings to get it for you?"
Most military spouses are unemployed. There are very few positions available in the military, so it's impossible to arrange jobs for them. In fact, they are even encouraged to return to their hometowns to find employment.
"No." Xu Sui didn't say anything more and quickly left.
The other person wanted to ask more questions, but she walked too fast and they couldn't catch up with her at all.
As Xu Sui passed by the communal kitchen, she immediately spotted Qin Yunzhou wearing a white apron and cooking.
A large pot of stew was simmering on the stove, and there were shredded potatoes on the cutting board.
Qin Yunzhou was washing vegetables with his head down.
Several other families were cooking in the communal kitchen, but all the cooks were women; there wasn't a single man except for Qin Yunzhou.
Some of the older women teased him, "Political Commissar Qin, why don't you cook? Where's your wife?"
"Yeah, why is your wife asking you, a grown man, to cook? Look around here, in every household, it's the woman who does the cooking."
"Your wife is really something, she's so lazy..."
Qin Yunzhou didn't even look up, continuing to wash the vegetables. He said calmly, "Sisters-in-law, you've misunderstood. My wife is at work."
"She's busy with work, but I happen to be free."
"However, I don't recall anyone stipulating that women must cook at home and men can't."
The other women who were cooking were taken aback when they heard this, gave an awkward laugh, and then changed the subject.
"Going to work? She only arrived to accompany the military for a few days, why is she already at work?"
"We've all been here with the military for so long, and the unit hasn't assigned us any jobs. How come she got one as soon as she arrived? Did Political Commissar Qin get your wife a job?"
"That won't do. You're using connections. If someone reports you to the division commander, you'll definitely get criticized, and your wife will lose her job too."
