~ Episode 17 ~
Come, come, come, Section Chief Shen.
Please take a seat first, Section Chief Shen.
I won't sit anymore. Village Chief Lei.
Look, I am already here. So no matter what,
- you have to give me a little. - Section Chief Shen, don't be anxious.
Let us drink some water first. Later, we will go
and have a meal. I will drink a little with you.
- That will be our welcome to you. - I am not in a hurry to eat.
Village Chief.
I have a lot of work piling up in the factory. The factory manager is still waiting for my news.
You are already here. How can you not have a meal? Here, here, here.
- Have a drink first. - Thank you, thank you. Sit down, sit down.
I have to be truthful with you. On the way here,
I have to keep reminding people to pay up. I drink so much my gastric problem is acting up.
Section Chief Shen, settling the account is definitely not a problem.
Don't worry. What is our relationship?
If we do not settle our account with you, whose do we settle? Right?
Can you settle it by today?
Section Chief Shen, as you know, our Xiaoleijia Brigade
is under the charge of Secretary Dongbao personally.
If the Secretary doesn't sign it, I can't come up with ¥1,000 even if I am the Village Chief.
Then ask the Secretary to go and sign the document.
This...
- This is really unfortunate, Section Chief Shen. - What is it?
Early this morning, Secretary Dongbao
went to the Jiangbei region to collect some construction debt.
- He is not in the village. - He is not here.
Say, is he really not here?
- Really not here. Why would I lie to you? - Sister-in -law, do not get involved in this matter.
Why is Shigen lying to him?
He has no choice.
The debts owed to us by the other people are not returned yet.
We haven't gotten the payments yet.
- But... - It's alright. Older Brother Shigen, he is experienced.
- Shigen! - We... - Where's my wife?
- Secretary Dongbao! - Old Shen!
You are back from your work trip.This is really fortunate.
I was afraid that I might not be able to meet you today and that matter could not be settled.
Secretary, that construction payment for us,
how is it? When can the money be transferred to our account? We can then pay our debt to the cement factory when it is transferred.
Alright. Section Chief Shen, please take a seat.
I'll tell you this. I might owe others money
but I can't owe you. In those days
when my prefabrication factory was still short of money and in difficult circumstances, I looked for help all over the county.
I begged everyone for help, but to no avail. It was only you who helped me.
I am a person that returns a favor of a drop of water with a fountain.
Secretary, in this work trip lasting more than a month,
I have been going from house to house asking for them to pay their debts.
Only you can give such a tough talk.
So, I am not worried anymore.
Let's do this. Shigen, treat Section Chief Shen
to a nice meal at noon time. I still have to make a trip to the county seat.
- I have something to settle, I won't accompany you. - There is no need.
Is something hurting your eye?
It's just a squint.
Secretary.
I just want to ask when
will we be able to get the money?
I will not conceal anything from you. There are many people who owed money to us too.
The wire factory in the city still owes us the construction debt for its building.
But don't not worry. I have already sent someone to hasten the payment of the debt.
We will pay you as soon as the money is collected.
Okay.
Please sit. Get a glass of...
- Here, here, here. - Just sit here.
My wife!
Let's go.
Do we have to go today?
Of course we must go. It has been delayed long enough.
We must go.
- Secretary Dongbao, going to settle your affairs? - Yes.
Get up here. Get up here quickly!
- Dongbao. - Old Uncle!
The two of you are going out?
Yes, we are going to the hospital.
Going to check my stomach.
Besides dried pumpkin rice in your stomach, what else would there be?
I think the stomach of Dongbao's wife should be checked instead.
Add a son to our Xiaoleijia Brigade.
Dongbao.
This matter concerning the rabbit fur Purchasing Station,
is it going to be undertaken by the Old Macaque?
No, Shigen is keeping an eye on it.
Isn't Sibao involved in this too?
- Nothing can go wrong. - Both Shigen and Sibao
are too young to be dealing with Old Macaque.
Should we think of a way to look for someone who is more experienced to take charge of this matter? Is that okay?
What you said is reasonable. I will think through it again later.
Dongbao,
- that...Dongbao's wife, - Yes.
Help Dongbao think too.
He is really too honest.
- Yes. - Help Dongbao think.
No one is here. Let's go.
- Next please. - My wife,
- it's this room. - Be careful.
There's still someone inside. Here,
my wife, slowly, sit down.
This male comrade, please wait outside.
It's okay, she is my wife. I accompanied her here. She is easily frightened.
This is the department of gynecology and obstetrics. Men have to go outside.
Listen to the doctor. Go outside first and wait for me.
Okay, I'll go out first. Tell me as soon as there is any result.
Doctor, then I'll have to trouble you.
My wife has never been pregnant before. This is her first time being pregnant.
- Okay. Stop nagging. - I'm going, I'm going.
She's feeling shy.
Say, is this your first time accompanying your wife for the check-up?
Right, this is my first time.
- I have no experienced. I was chased out of the room. - Lei Dongbao, my medical record book!
Here. Here.
I want to keep her company and know what's going on, but I'm not allowed to.
Let me tell you this, family planning has elevated the status of women.
Who would bother to accompany their wives here in the past?
He would still be working in the farm up to the time the baby is due.
Then I am not the same as you.
Even if my wife gives birth to eight or ten children, I will still accompany her here.
You are scared of your wife.
What do you know about all this?
It is not shameful for a man to hold a woman dear to his heart. Right?
My wife, how is the check-up getting on?
Is there any result?
Is that your lover out there making all these noise?
Yes.
You look very quiet, but your lover's character is actually quite lively.
This is the way he is.
He will say whatever he wants to say. He can't keep it inside him.
It's good to have a loud voice. The entire hospital knows that you are dear to him.
Come, let's do the check-up.
My wife, so are you pregnant or not?
Did you ask ask properly? Otherwise we can go back and ask again!
- Can you say something? What is happening? - Can you stop talking?
You made such a ruckus outside the moment I went into the consultation room.
I had prepared five or six questions, but in the end I did not even ask one.
What questions?
For example, healthcare during the pregnancy period, I didn't ask this question.
What is healthcare during the pregnancy period? Pregnancy period...
So, you are pregnant!
What do you say?
Didn't I tell you before? Those who served in the army are different.
What? A loud voice?
The shooting style is also different.
That...it's all my fault. Let's go.
We'll go back and ask.We'll make a list of the questions that you want to ask and we'll ask them all.
Are you okay? Go back and ask? Being with someone like you, who doesn't feel embarrassed to go back?
- No, how can you not clarify it properly where these matters are concerned? Let's go. - I don't want to ask anymore.
Let's go.
Where are we going?
Let's go to Xin Hua Bookshop to buy a few books. We can study on our own.
Can we do that?
I'm unlocking the bike.
Ping Ping, I've been thinking about it. From today onward,
don't go to work at the Brigade anymore.
Just stay at home and take good care of the baby that is growing in you, okay?
I've just been flipping through the pages. The book said that it is there is no need to be so careful.
As long as I don't exercise too vigorously or be too troubled over things, everything will be alright.
Is what is said in the book accurate?
We can't do that. What if, by any chance...
Why would there be so many by any chance?
No. isn't it because you are very dear to me?
The accounts of the Brigade has just been settled smoothly.
There are many things that Four-eyed still does not understand.
I still have to go and teach him.
And you too. I am still a little worried about the matters over at your side.
What's wrong with me?
No, please do not worry. I will definitely not raise my hands against anyone.
The things that Old Secretary told you today,
did you understand what they meant?
I understand.
Didn't he want me to keep a closer watch over the Old Macaque?
You are so insensitive!
The Old Secretary wants to volunteer himself.
He still have remaining energy to contribute to the brigade.
Who is Sui Zijian? (from the idiom 'mao sui zi jian' - that is Mao Sui volunteered)
Why is Old Uncle thinking about him? Old Auntie will flay him later!
Don't change the subject!
Volunteering himself means the Old Secretary wants to control the Old Macaque,
but he's embarrassed to say it himself.
Say, this Old Secretary's thinking is getting stranger as he gets older.
He could have just said it directly but beat around the bush instead.
Okay, let me think through it later.
- Let's go back. - Don't, don't, don't.
It's not easy to make this trip to the county seat.
We already have a child. We must celebrate.
Let's find the biggest restaurant and have a good meal.
The moment I talk about duck and chicken, fish and meat, I feel a little nausea.
Then, we won't eat. Let's go and watch a movie.
I feel stifled in my chest. I don't want to watch.
Then, we won't watch.
What shall we do then?
Slowly.
Be careful. There's s step here.
Dongbao.
Shall we go and take a photograph like this? Okay?
Okay.
This is really great.
Say, when we got married,
we didn't have the time to take a photograph.
We will make up for it this time. We will take ten photos.
Why do you want to take so many?
We are rich now.
Wife, loosen your hair and let me see.
- Let it loose? - Yeah.
Like this?
- It looks pretty. - It doesn't look good. I should pull it up.
Look. Let me do it for you. Stay still.
Let me.
I'm so clumsy.
So pretty.
I should pull it up.
Stay still. It wasn't easy to get it right.
Look, you're being bashful again.
Since this picture is for me to look at, if I say it's pretty, then it's pretty.
It's not pretty.
Come over here. Come here.
What is it?
Look at this. And this. Are they silly?
And look at this one.
Look at how pretty this one is.
Besides, my wife is even prettier than her. Right?
Give me the rubber band.
Then...I'll go find it for you.
Wife, I can't find it. Is it in your pouch?
Didn't I just give it to you?
When did you give it to me?
Look at how you won't believe me.
You kept suspecting me. Go fish through my pockets.
I did give it to you.
Lei Dongbao, you definitely hid it somewhere.
No, don't touch me. I'll flip my pockets out for you. Don't do it. I'm scared of being tickled.
Do I have it? Look over here. Is it here?
It's not here.
Your clothes are all wrinkled.
Turn your head.
You look pretty.
- In a bit, look over here. - Okay.
Stop looking at me.
1, 2, 3.
Sorry.
I was wrong. I was wrong. Let's take one properly.
We'll take one properly.
1, 2, 3.
Wife, come and get on.
- Secretary! - Not anymore. We'll be home soon.
Secretary! There's a problem!
- Secretary! - Four-eyes. - There's a big problem.
Take your time to speak.
I heard from the county seat that Secretary Xu's wife...
- jumped off a building. - Jumped off a building? - Yes.
How is that possible? Who did you hear foolishly say that?
While I was studying with the county's accountant,
he told me. There's no doubt that it's true.
Dongbao, since this has happened, you should hurry to the county office to have a look at the situation.
I'll take you home first.
There's no need. It's just right over there. I can walk over.
We still don't know how County Governor Xu is currently doing.
Just in case something else happens, you should hurry and go.
Secretary, hurry and go. I'll take sister-in-law back home.
Okay. Take her home.
Walk slowly. I'm going now.
Bye.
Deputy County Governor Chen.
Dongbao. What is it?
I heard that Secretary Xu's family had something bad happen.
You heard already?
We just had a meeting.
He has taken a bus to the city. The city has a nonstop train to Beijing.
His wife was cremated in the morning. He wants to bring the ashes back home.
His wife...How did this happen?
His wife works in a school in Beijing.
As soon as there was a break, she took the chance to go home to visit her family and came here.
While she was on the balcony air drying blankets, the winter blankets were very heavy,
She wasn't standing steadily and a blanket was weighing her down.
She just happened to be standing on a stool and went to grab the blanket with her hand.
In a moment when she wasn't careful, she fell with the blanket.
Her falling off the building is considered an accident.
This isn't right. I still have to go have a look at Old Xu. I'm going now to the city.
If I can arrive this afternoon, maybe I can still come across him.
- Hey, Dongbao. - Yes? - I'll drive you there.
Master Huang, come here quickly.
- Master Huang. - What is it that's so urgent?
I have good news to tell you.
- Go ahead. - My daughter recently found a new partner. This time, there really is great potential.
Very decent and even wears eyeglasses. I heard that he's a college graduate.
Okay. Who is it?
Little Song. I've heard that he's your apprentice, right?
I see. I understand what you mean. Don't worry.
Please help me out.
Song Yunhui! Song Yunhui!
- Come down. - You looking for me?
- Come down! - Wait a minute.
What's up?
What are you doing?
You jerk, pretending to be loyal.
What are you saying about me?
What did you say to Zhang Shuhua's mom?
Did you use your ability as a college student
to curry favor with your future mother-in-law?
What are nonsense are you saying?
You still won't admit it? Zhang Shuhua's mom thinks highly of you.
She even asked Master Huang to help with matching you up.
What are you talking about? I didn't say anything that day.
How's that possible?
You're still pretending?
Pretending? What pretending? How could I have the time to think about this type of things?
Moreover, for women like Zhang Shuhua who is short, has round eyes, and pouty lips.
She is like a small swallow. Who would like her?
What taste do you have?
Zhang Shuhua is so modern. You don't even like her?
Only you will like a woman like that.
Let me tell you that my girlfriend is beautiful
and with good figure. She's my little swallow! You can't say things like that to her again!
Okay!
Don't disturb my work.
Go to the library after work. I'll take you on my bike.
Just go take your little swallow!
Wake up. Stop sleeping.
Wake up.
Stop sleeping. Help me think of a way.
What way? What's wrong?
Zhang Shuhua's mother really went to my master and asked him to be a matchmaker.
I said no.
But master said that she's his old colleague. I should at least show up.
You really don't want to go through with it?
I already said it that I—
Lower down your voice. This is the library.
I have a way to make her mother give up. But the premise is you have to listen to me.
Fine. As long as it's not overboard.
And don't waste too much of my time.
Don't button it too tightly. You won't look like me anymore.
Open it a little.
Wear this.
Look.
How about it?
What if Zhang Shuhua's mother still doesn't give up?
Impossible. Her mother hates this kind of person the most.
Just chat with her mother with my usual talking style.
I guarantee that her mother will give up, completely give up.
Quickly go. Hurry. Hurry.
Will this work?
Will it work? Of course. Be more confident.
Go. Set out!
Hurry. Hurry.
Say, this method was indeed useful.
How did it go?
When her mother saw me, her face changed.
She even asked me why I don't usually dress like this.
I told her that I usually have to go to work, hence, have no chance to dress up.
But actually, I love following trends the most.
That's great.
- What happened next? - Next, she left.
He even said that I'm so unreliable.
Old Huang, I'll treat you to a drink next time.
Fine. Fine.
Look at what you've done to my good apprentice.
Indeed.
Stop laughing!
If you really want to date Old Zhang's daughter,
listen to my advice.
Clean yourself up.
Da Xun, I feel that what master said is right.
Wear a bit plain.
And then cut off your long hair.
Mommy Zhang might agree for you two to date.
Won't I become an ordinary laborer then?
If you cut your hair, you still can grow it back.
- Song Yunhui. - Yes.
- I want to talk with you about something. - Okay.
Look at how long this is.
- Cut this part. - Don't cut the other parts.
- You have guests? - Yes.
It's like this.
The factory lately is reorganizing its work regulations.
The superior has talked with me.
Talked about what?
Put this—
Listen to me. I'm doing this for your sake.
- Master, you're leaving? - Yes, I'll get going now.
Goodbye, master.
You broke regulations?
Not really some big deal.
It's about that library card I borrowed you.
The people in the library found out about it.
The factory superior said that there must be one per person. I mustn't lend it to anyone.
It's my fault. It's my fault.
Wait a minute.
- Here, I'm giving it back to you. - Okay. Okay.
So sorry. I didn't know that the investigations in the factory are this strict lately.
I've brought you trouble.
There's nothing to apologize.
Xiao Hui, let me tell you that if you need to read any documents,
just privately tell me. I'll go borrow it for you.
Okay. Okay. Thank you.
- Just like that then. I'll get going now. - Goodbye.
What are you doing?
You silly guy, didn't you understand the implied meaning of your friend?
What implied meaning?
Head Shui is falling down. Everyone is busy choosing sides.
Your classmate was afraid to share your misfortunes, hence, he asked his library card back.
I'm so close with the people in the library and I've never heard of a reorganization.
It's fine. That library card is his anyway.
It's just right to give it back to him.
Hey!
I'm borrowing this.
If I succeed, I'll treat you to a drink.
Look at how pleasing to the eye it is for you to wear something plain.
It's just that if you could cut off that long hair of yours,
if I'm Zhang Shuhua's mother,
I surely will marry my daughter off to you.
Hope your words will come true.
You're not dizzy?
Little Song!
- Hey! - Come! Come!
Master Huang, you're looking for me?
I'm getting off work and came to see you.
Is there any line that must be repaired today?
There are still some. Based on external inspection, it's still because of component aging.
I'm thinking of doing a thorough check tomorrow and then reporting the repairs altogether.
I'll have you sign it by then.
Okay. Let's allow the technicians of the maintenance section
to take a breather first.
Oh, right, master, look.
Is there anything wrong with my drawing of
this liquid flow and this accessory?
You drew this?
Yes.
Was my illustration wrong?
I'm not from an engineering background. My illustration skills are not that good.
Not bad. Not bad.
This is really not bad.
You've improved a lot.
Really?
Little Song, I'm in this factory for more than a decade.
You're the first newbie that I've encountered who is able to understand
the flow of production and the principles of the craft within a month.
Master, I still don't understand a lot of equipment components and operational methods.
With our chemical plant being this huge, don't we have a master plan of all the equipment?
For the blueprints of major equipment,
there is a copy in the second flow documents room in the main library.
Our workshop has undergone several major renovations. For the repair blueprints,
you can find them in the biotechnology section of branch factories.
But for plans of minor repairs, it would be hard for you to gather them anymore.
Little Song, do you want to figure out
the principles behind the equipment operations of the whole workshop?
Yes.
I feel that only by understanding this
can I truly understand a whole workshop.
Okay.
No rush.
Fine then. Take things slowly.
- I'll go back first. - Master, goodbye.
Okay.
Song Yunhui!
We were just planning to look for you and you instead came here on your own.
Why are you looking for me?
Did you get addicted in reporting for repairs?
Several requests in a day.
Do you want us to die?
The component aging here in the workshop causing the leak of condensations or gas has been—
The Jinzhou factory has existed for decades and I haven't seen any leak causing major problems.
- You are just being a busybody! - I...
What you?
Damn! Who are you?!
Stand there!
- Are you blind? - Brother Xun.
You don't know me anymore?
Why did you cut your hair like that? You look like a country bumpkin.
I'm willing! Continue laughing!
What's wrong, Ear?
Song Yunhui is my buddy. Why are you making things difficult for him?
Bro, he's your buddy, so am I.
We all are buddies, so the more you shouldn't give him trouble.
Da Xun, it was your buddy Song Yunhui that's giving us trouble.
He's just been part of the workshop for several days, but he already sent us hundreds of repair requests. Isn't that making things hard for us?
What does your maintenance section do?
If there's any problem, who should we look for other than you people?! Should we go seek Head Shui or Old Fei to repair them?!
Bear Ears, give me this favor today.
I'll lecture him later.
Bro, fine. I'll listen to you today and drop this.
Okay. Go back. Go...
- Da Xun has changed. - It's all because of that Song Yunhui.
Look at how his hair is cut. He doesn't wear bell-bottoms anymore. What has he become?
- Ha? - Quickly leave.
You're afraid of them?
Bullshit. Can't you see how silly my hair is? Isn't it embarrassing?
You didn't look embarrass earlier.
If not because your situation was urgent earlier, I wouldn't come out even if I got beaten to death just to be laughed by them.
No one's laughing at you.
You're laughing at me right now. Quickly get on the bike!
Slow down.
I was even thinking of going to the maintenance section to correct some master plans. With you arriving,
all my important things got delayed.
It's already off-work time and you still worry about that? I'll just accompany you tomorrow.
- There's still other work to do tomorrow. - You are too narrow-minded.
It's fine if you want to be so diligent, why must you drag other people with you?
No wonder Bear Ear and the others are so mad. Who can take those many repair requests you've submitted?
If they could just do a centralized maintenance for a time,
their future work would become lighter.
Who would even think about the future?
You're returning to the dorm?
What return to the dorm? I have an important matter to do today.
- What important matter? - My marriage matter.
- You're seeing Zhang Shuhua? - Right.
You're wearing those clothes? Shouldn't you change?
Look at my brain. It's good that you reminded me. Hurry, let's go back.
- Move! - You go back first.
Hurry up!
How about it?
You look good. It's just that your eyes are too fierce.
It's good if you'll wear eyeglasses.
- What about now? - How do you feel?
I feel a bit dizzy?
Not bad. Gentle and modest. You look like a refined rascal.
Wish me luck.
Comrade, be careful.
You're back.
Look at you, what happened? Didn't succeed?
Say, what is love?
You are more experienced in that than me.
I'm broken-hearted.
Can you comfort me a little?
You failed?
But I saw you conversing quite well with Zhang Shuhua's mother.
Zhang Shuhua's mother indeed like how I look.
Especially when she heard that it was you who forced me to grow my hair long, have sideburns,
and wear bell-bottoms. She immediately agreed for me and Zhang Shuhua to meet.
You actually said that I'm a hooligan?
Do you still have a conscience?
Anyway, there's no more point in saving you. Why not just sacrifice yourself to support us?
So, did it work?
What do women think?
Zhang Shuhua insisted that she liked my original hairstyle, sideburns,
and bell-bottom look. Seeing me now makes her feel annoyed.
Oh, so that little sparrow
has such unique interest.
No, I must drink a little.
Did you explain to her
that you changed your hairstyle just to fool her mother?
I did. But she said
that since I only have these sideburns left, she find it annoying.
She doesn't want to see me anymore. Drink with me.
I'm not drinking.
Don't be sad anymore.
Just ask her out again once your hair grows back.
She said that she doesn't feel anything when she sees me now.
She's judging people by appearances.
She totally don't know about your sincere heart and the things you've done for her.
For such a superficial woman, it's not worth it to linger on her any longer.
You haven't been in love.
You don't know how painful my heart is now.
Enough. Enough. There are so many women everywhere.
Fine. Stop comforting me. The more you comfort me, the more painful I feel.
Wasn't you who told me to comfort you?
Okay already. Stop drinking.
Go to sleep.
When you wake up, all these will seem unimportant.
Sleep.
When I fall asleep, I'll stop feeling bad.
Because I betrayed you,
- my gift. - What is that?
The key to the library. Here.
Where did you get it?
Even if Zhang Shuhua doesn't like me, that lady in the library treats me like a treasure.
You think it will be hard for me to get a key?
Thank you, Da Xun.
From now on, you don't need to go to the workshop section to look for files.
Use this when reading at night.
Stop glaring me with the main lamp.
It affects my sleep.
Thanks.
[Library]
- Master Wang, good morning. - Good morning.
- Little Song, you're so early. Are you taking the AM shift today? - No.
Why are you here so early then?
I'm not done filling up the repair requests yesterday. I still have to finish a few.
You've worked hard then.
Master Huang, I've checked the east and west lines today and found several damages.
I've integrated it with the repair requests I've come up yesterday. Please sign.
Song'er,
let's delay this matter for now.
- What's wrong, Master? - Factory Head Fei would be holding a competition to increase production next month.
Our workshop is the leader in the No. 1 Factory.
The Workshop Director, Old Min, came to see me earlier.
He asked why the production of our workshop isn't improving.
He said that if we fail in this competition,
the Reorganization Office will surely use this chance to deal with our No. 1 Factory.
Master,
for the matter of equipment maintenance, we must look at it in a discriminate manner.
Maintenance is also an aspect of technological upgrading.
Isn't our workshop currently encouraging everyone to do technological upgrade?
Say, Song Yunhui. Old Huang is the best master in terms of technical skills here in our plant.
He already said that there's no need for repairs. Why then must a newbie like you
- insist on doing repairs? - If we're unable to increase the production
here in Section 1, what about the bonuses of everyone?
Song Yunhui, you hear that? It's not because us in the maintenance section is lazing around and refusing to work.
I'm thinking for the sake of the general situation of our whole factory branch.
Bear Ear has improved. Quickly report this to Old Fei.
- Let's go strive to advance too. - Stop being noisy.
Master, don't be anxious too. I have my reasons for reporting these repairs.
Song Yunhui, in consideration for Da Xun,
let me give you an advice. It's now the time of Old Fei.
Your backer, Old Shui, has already stepped down.
We don't even know where he went.
No matter how much you show-off, no one can see it.
I'm reporting repairs not to show-off.
If you don't believe me, you can come with me.
This is the no. 5 valve of the main pipeline of liquid nitrogen. You all look.
Isn't everything good? Look at what?
This valve has a leak. That's 12 drops every minute. You can count it by yourself.
It's not much!
Liquid nitrogen is the most important production material of our workshop.
I've calculated it.
Just the no. 5 valve, the leak is about 5 ml every hour.
What then will it be every day? Every month?
And a leak like this can be seen in more than 10 areas just in the east area.
If we're able to fix such a leak,
it can ensure a safe production and limit the amount of repairs.
Our workshop's production can then be increased by 3/10,000.
3/10,000?
- It doesn't sound that much? - Right. What are you saying?
Little Song, is your calculation accurate?
I've went through meticulous measurements and very serious calculations.
I can guarantee you with this.
- Repair. - Repair?!
Repair!
Ensuring production safety, decreasing stopping the workshop for repairs, and forging ahead stably.
If we're going to calculate it with stopping the workshop 8 times for a month,
fixing the leaks can decrease the number of days that we have to stop production for maintenance.
- Won't our production be increased then? - Indeed.
One month. If after one month, the production number isn't increased,
you all can come see me again.
Fine. We'll listen to you.
Setting out! Okay!
These are the best snacks in the city.
Plum candy and almond cake.
Both are sour. Sister-in-law will surely love them.
You bought these?
No. It's that Brother Yuan from the electric wire factory.
He said that you asked about these snacks when you went there last time.
He then especially prepared some for you this time.
What wine did that Brother Yuan treat you to?
Ha? There's still a smell?
That, not really. I didn't drink much. Just some show of gesture.
Where's the money? You didn't get it?
