Chapter 160 ‘Scrap’ Sewing Machine

The auto repair shop will become the auto manufacturing factory. After finishing the meal today at noon, the entire factory will be on holiday in the afternoon, except for the people in the security department.

When everyone comes back to work tomorrow, everyone will be an employee of a car manufacturing plant.

But the pressure of celebrating the New Year in the factory has also been transferred to Luo Cheng. Director Zhang said that in fact, in large factories, this matter is in charge of logistics. But there are only two people in the repair shop's logistics, one to run errands, and one to record objects. Even the canteen's purchase and acceptance, because there is no canteen director, the logistics are also responsible.

The logistics in the factory are at the level of ordinary employees. If they are asked to go shopping for New Year's goods, other business units will really ignore them. This year, Longyang Town got so many chickens and ducks to raise, and the minimum recycling amount given by the poultry breeding factory is not very high, which can be regarded as leaving some room for farmers to keep their own. The factory can also collect it from their hands.

Now it's almost the end of the month, and factory wages are usually paid on the 28th of every month, and those paid before the 25th. On the 25th of every month, the financial departments of some large factories are the busiest. when. The statistics need to be completed within two days, but the current salary is easy to calculate, and those who have no seniority will be based on grades. Some manufacturers report that at most they can count overtime pay or wages deducted for leave.

Why are wages paid on the 28th? Because there are 28 days in February every year. If you choose to distribute it before the end of the month, you can buy rations at the beginning of each month. Many people can't open the pot at home, so they borrow this and that, just waiting for this day. Moreover, at the beginning of the month, many people took time off to buy food.

Just like Luo Cheng, although he has two sisters living together, they do not belong to the same household, and he cannot even buy them on his behalf. Only those who have the same household registration, such as those who live in the city and live with their parents without separation, can buy on behalf of them.

On the 28th, the defective cloth in the warehouse will be distributed to employees. Previously, it was said that they would have to spend money to buy it, but now you can also consider using self-retained funds and distribute it directly according to the grade. Distributing something a little can arouse the enthusiasm of workers these days.

At noon, Luo Cheng still drove home. It was getting cold. If he didn't wear a coat, it would be a bit cold to drive the three-wheel drive. And that thing seems to be suitable for Director Zhang to drive. It has three wheels, installs some tools, and occasionally repairs a car or something. It is actually quite convenient.

Director Zhang certainly did not expect that Luo Cheng was initially asked to repair the tricycle because he wanted to facilitate Luo Cheng, but in the end it would be convenient for him. Because a workshop director is really not qualified to work on automobiles.

After returning home, the two sisters had also eaten. Luo Cheng looked at Xiaoyu and Shishi carefully. The facial features of the two of them are actually not bad, but their faces were sallow before, or black and yellow. After all, they worked in the fields during the busy farming season. Now they are following me, not to mention how full they are, but they are not hungry either. Their faces seem to look better recently than before.

In fact, I can already wear a coat today. Now I don’t have thermal underwear. Some young wives in the city have already put on small cotton-padded jackets. Luo Cheng planned to take them to a garment factory and buy two fleece jackets each to wear as winter underwear. Luo Cheng didn't look through their clothes, but they had been drying and washing clothes recently. He had never seen anything similar to underwear. They were all handmade tops, just like shirts, one on top of the other.

This winter, they just wear patched and worn cotton-padded jackets. That's all. In the countryside, it would be nice for two girls to have one each. Many rural families have so many girls that they really can't even get together a set of patchwork clothes for summer.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"I'll take you to see a place in the city that specializes in making clothes, and buy you some winter clothes by the way."

"Ah, let's buy clothes again. Shishi and I have enough clothes."

"It's too ugly. I see some people are wearing cotton-padded jackets. Your cotton-padded jackets are too shabby. People look down upon them in the city. When the time comes, take out the cotton from your cotton-padded jackets and change them into a small quilt for me." "

Luo Cheng said with a smile. The two girls were wearing cotton-padded jackets. He guessed that it was not necessarily because they were not afraid of the cold. Maybe it was the last time I bought meat at the farmer's market, and because I was dressed like someone from the countryside, I was questioned about whether meat tickets and money mattered. This may have been a bit of a shadow. Maybe you have to wait until the cold gets over before you wear it out.

But it's not as he guessed. He will get a cotton-padded jacket for each of them later and see if they wear it or not. Moreover, the cotton in the worn-out cotton-padded jacket will not be wasted. When the time comes, I can get some cloth and change it into a small quilt. It might as well be an extra layer for sleeping at night. And when the time comes, I will get a coal basin, burn some coal when I have a rest in winter, and put a small quilt on my legs to ensure warmth. In the winter, make a small brazier and throw a few sweet potatoes or eggs into the brazier. During the Chinese New Year, it would also be a good idea for everyone to sit together and chat over the fire.

The garment factory arrived soon. Luo Cheng was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and driving a car. At first glance, it looks like the leadership style, plus I was here last time with Director Zhang. The security registration staff were very enthusiastic when registering and asking questions. Luo Cheng didn't say he was here to buy anything. He went directly to the production director here.

Luo Cheng's official appointment letter and new work permit have not yet been issued. The certificate of the leader of the study group is still used. To be honest, the identity of the director of this garment factory is completely different from that of Luo Cheng. He is qualified enough for the director of the garment factory to meet him. Although the automobile manufacturing plant has not yet been formally established, no one knows the development potential. It may be difficult for the director of the garment factory to meet Luo Cheng in the future.

But Luo Cheng just came through a small back door to buy some clothes, which was within the scope of the request he agreed to when he came to draw cakes last time.

The car drove directly into the garment factory. Where the cars were parked, Luo Cheng saw the green leather cube car he produced. It was clean. Apart from it, there was only a jeep beside it. Now these are the only two cars in the garment factory.

"Team Leader Luo, oh no, Factory Director Luo, welcome to our factory for inspection."

"Director Liu, look what you said, it's an inspection, it's a private matter I'm here to handle. You all bought this car, so you won't forget what you promised."

Director Liu knew Luo Cheng's current identity. He was at least on the same level as the director of their factory, but it was only a matter of time before he surpassed him. The peers and subordinates usually visit and study, while the superior leaders come here for inspections. Director Liu made a little joke to Luo Cheng, and of course he also meant to wish Luo Cheng a further step as soon as possible.

"Director Luo, how could I forget this? Your guidance is welcome to our production workshop."

Luo Cheng nodded. This meant that he was asked to choose clothes. He could give guidance. Last time he and Director Zhang came, they were talking about visiting, but now they are giving guidance. People with different identities used different words when they came. Anyone who can be the director of such a large and well-established factory must be somewhat capable in dealing with people.

Luo Cheng was not polite and got up directly to go to the production workshop. He introduced the two people next to him to Director Liu as his sisters and said openly that he had brought them to pick out clothes.

The group of people entered the workshop and did not waste much time picking clothes. There were many sewing machines in the production workshop. In this era, these items were as big as bicycles. It is very convenient to use this when mending something.

It can be said that if there is a sewing machine at home, and a man and a woman go on a blind date, the man's chance of being attracted can increase by at least 30%. In later generations, matchmakers introduced girls to men who had cars and houses. In this era, if a man had a sewing machine at home, the matchmaker would definitely take it out and introduce him alone. It is no different from introducing garages to future generations.

"Director Liu, do we have a sewing machine factory in Ngee Ann City?"

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, Director Liu shook his head, but he could tell that Luo Cheng was interested in sewing machines. According to the road, Luo Cheng became the director of an automobile manufacturer at such a young age. It was only a matter of time before he had a sewing machine. The icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in times of need. It is impossible for the sewing machines in their factory to be sold to the outside world, but many of them are damaged beyond repair.

There are damaged sewing machines in their workshop and warehouse, and there are also people in the factory who can repair them, but in many cases they just need to remove other parts from one broken sewing machine and replace it with another one. If this quantity is too large, it is normal to lose a few units every year.

I wonder if Director Luo can see if it is 'damaged', so he can just charge the scrap price.

Finally, Luo Cheng left the garment factory with a sewing machine that was almost 70% new in his car. The two sisters also had a cotton coat and a fleece coat each. And when leaving, the employees of the garment factory taught Xiaoyu and Shishi how to operate.

Don't wait after midnight, I can't stand it lately. Get up as early as possible to code
