The two walked for more than half an hour to another village.

"Uncle Cousin? Zhenguo has come to see you! "By the time we got here, it was almost noon. I don't know, I thought Lin He and the two came with a meal.

He Zhenguo's cousin's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Guoxi. It's a little old man who is almost 60 years old.

The old man had a good temper, and asked He Zhenguo in a strange tone, "Why are you here at this time?" ”

It's still taboo to come with a meal.

"Uncle Cousin, I want to see your watchmaking skills. Can you show me? He Zhenguo said politely.

Lin Qiangsheng saw that the old man was holding a bamboo cigarette stick in his hand, and hurriedly took out a pack of ginseng cigarettes from his backpack.

"Uncle, you smoke this pack of cigarettes, you have to do it!" Lin Qiangsheng smiled and handed over the cigarette.

"Yo, it's rare!"

Many people are not to blame. The old man looked at the cigarettes, then at Lin Qiangsheng, a pack of cigarettes made him a lot more polite, and asked, "What kind of craftsmanship do you want to see me?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "What you always see, I will watch!" ”

The old man looked at the beautifully packaged cigarettes, he was very greedy, looked at his dry tobacco sticks again, and finally gritted his teeth and took Lin Qiangsheng's cigarettes, and said, "Wait, I'll eat." You're done eating, aren't you? ”

Lin Qiangsheng and He Zhenguo nodded hurriedly.

The old man went back to the house, gave the cigarette to his wife, and told her to hide it. Then I filled myself with a bowl of noodle soup, and ate it in a few snorts.

The old man wiped his mouth, walked out and said to the two, "Let's go, let you take a look." Don't tell anyone about it! This is also for Zhenguo's sake, otherwise I won't show it to outsiders! ”

He Zhenguo smiled with his cousin who came out, his cousin was obviously not good at words, but looked at the two young people with a smile on her face.

The old man led the two to the barn, which was very dilapidated on the outside, but there was a hole in the inside. The old man lit a candle and carefully lifted a thick cloth on the west wall.

"Ahh Lin Qiangsheng was shocked when he saw the object covered behind the cloth.

I saw that this cloth was blocking a wooden board, and it was full of large and small watches, and there were more than 20 watches!

The metal cases of these watches, reflecting the candlelight, make each other shine!

There are steel shells, and there are polished and shiny copper shells! When I look at the old man, I often rub and play. These watches are full of light. Each dial, although the color style is very simple, this is undoubtedly the brightest color that Lin Qiangsheng has seen when he returns to this era!

"Uncle Cousin! When did you do this? Why are there so many! He Zhenguo was also shocked, he had never seen his cousin take out a watch made by himself!

Wang Guoxi's face was filled with a faint sense of satisfaction, he pointed to the watches on them, and said softly: "These are all made by me when I go to the factory in the city in winter to pick up the parts that I have put together, and I have been doing it for more than 10 years. I think it's okay to take it out now and let them see the light. ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the watch hanging on the wooden board and asked, "Why are all clocks here?" He glanced at He Zhenguo.

He Zhenguo immediately said: "That's right! Uncle Cousin, aren't you a pressure gauge? Why don't you have any pressure gauges. He Zhenguo also has some culture, clocks and tools for watches, he can still distinguish.

Wang Guoxi said lonely: "When the instrument factory let us go, it didn't let us participate in pressure gauges and gauges anymore, saying that they were afraid of betraying state secrets!" Therefore, I can only make clocks to relieve boredom. ”

In an instant, the old man said with great interest: "But I find it more interesting to make clocks." Gradually, I did so much, and it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye! I'm going to live on them! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, this is about the same. Presumably, the instrument factory is also afraid that they will make a table with the same parameters as the factory in the people and steal it.

The instrument factory in Ben Cheng undertakes the construction of many large-scale national projects, as well as national defense projects, and also supports submarines and nuclear industries. These devices all have parameters and cannot be obtained by outsiders.

In those years, 20 or 30 million people in the country were bombarded home. Only then did these skilled talents come out and live in society, or they returned to the countryside. They were either persuaded to retire or driven away because of their rural household registration or because of their bad background!

Here, there are talents!

Lin Qiangsheng thought that many of these people might still be alive, and if they could all be touched by themselves, what a great fortune it was!

Seeing his baby, he calmed down the two young people. Wang Guoxi's heart felt a sense of satisfaction, and he continued: "Let the two of you take a look at the work I do." ”

The old man opened a drawer, took out a small wooden box, opened it carefully, and moved the candle closer.

Lin Qiangsheng immediately saw a set of simple watchmaking tools, and even a small magnifying glass in a monocular.

"Master Wang, that's what I'll call you. You made this set of things yourself? Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise.

Wang Guoxi nodded and said, "Some things were made by myself, and some things were exchanged by me and others." ”

Lin Qiangsheng was overjoyed, and actually found a master watchmaker in this countryside!

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly asked: "Master Wang, you just said that there are still people who have left the factory like you, where are these people now, are they all the same as you, are they skilled people?" ”

Wang Guoxi glanced at Lin Qiangsheng and asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do?" Ask what this is for! ”

Lin Qiangsheng rubbed his hands, and hurriedly explained directly: "I want to invite you out of the mountain!" Such a good craftsmanship, it can't be wasted! What a loss it would be if it was gone! ”

He Zhenguo looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, and Lin Qiangsheng squeezed his eyes at him.

The old man smiled and said, "Old man! There are more than a dozen of them who leave the factory with me, some of them have good craftsmanship, some of them have poor craftsmanship, and some of them are doing other types of work. There are only seven or eight people who are still alive now, and they are all about to enter the ground, so how can they have the energy to think about anything else! ”

"Uncle Cousin, this is the younger brother of Lin Xiang, a young man in my village, Lin Qiangsheng. We both have a good relationship! He Zhenguo reacted and introduced to the old man.

Wang Guoxi nodded and said with a smile: "Oh! Just the girl who came back, that girl is good. You're that girl's brother? ”

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly said, "Yes, Master Wang." I am Lin Xiang's own brother! ”

Wang Guoxi looked at him, then at He Zhenguo, and said with a smile: "I heard that the girl and you get along well." ”

He Zhenguo scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's good, hehe"

Wang Guoxi looked at Lin Qiangsheng again and said, "Then we are a family." What's your name, boy? ”

"Lin Qiangsheng!" Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly said.

Wang Guoxi nodded and asked uncertainly, "What do you mean when you ask me to go out of the mountain?" Could it be that the city is coming to the village to recruit workers again? The instrument factory is going to have people again? ”

Lin Qiangsheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Master Wang, it's not that the instrument factory is an important person, but that after I saw your craftsmanship, I thought about opening a watch factory." What do you think? Master Wang, you have always been a master of the factory! ”

Wang Guoxi looked at Lin Qiangsheng in disbelief and asked, "It's nothing to set up a watch factory, but I see that you are so young, can you do it?" I need the tools and sources of materials, how do you solve them? ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my dad is Li Gang!" ”

"Oh! Wrong! My dad was the director of a large factory in the city. In terms of materials, we don't have to worry about panic. Besides, there aren't many materials used in watchmaking. "In Lin Qiangsheng's mind, in a small industry like a watch factory, a few people and a few machines can run a small factory, and they can earn a lot!

Wang Guoxi nodded and said: "That's true, the materials for watchmaking really don't use much, as long as the materials can be solved, a few people can get it." ”

After he finished speaking, he thought about it, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, young man." As long as you can get the materials and a few pieces of equipment, we can do it. ”

The old man didn't understand what the nature of the factory was, just as he was driven home back then, and he didn't understand why the factory didn't want them anymore.

Wang Guoxi wrote a list of materials and equipment. After Lin Qiangsheng got it, he took a look, and the automobile factory could solve these things. The equipment is produced by the mold workshop, when he built this workshop, he thought about planning for the future, and there are some machining machine tools collected by Lin Qiangsheng.

In terms of materials, mainly glass, steel shells, springs and some gear metal materials needed in the surface, which can be solved in the factory and the camera factory. He is also very familiar with Zhao Hongbo, the director of the camera factory, and he has also exchanged cloth tickets from himself. It was possible to solve the glass cover, the gear metal material, the movement material in the camera factory, and there was also a fall.

The more Lin Qiangsheng thought about it, the more beautiful he became, thinking that a few years later, a wave of watch sales in China would be high. At that time, as long as it was a watch that could be seen, it could be sold. When the time comes, I will be able to make a small watch factory bigger, and it will not be able to become a large enterprise.

Lin Qiangsheng finally discovered that he is now capable of a serious career!

"Okay, Master Wang, let's do it! I'll contact these equipment and materials when I get back, and you'll be ready. Lin Qiangsheng said excitedly.

Wang Guoxi also smiled, and said again and again: "Okay, good, young man, thank you for giving me something to do." Watchmaking isn't that easy, I'll tell you."

There is a hobby to do, the old man is also very happy, he spent time in the factory when he was young, and the old man always has a turbulent heart! I can't let go of the original experience and the work I once did.

Lin Qiangsheng's agitation today made the old man's heart suddenly warm.
