Tech Hammer

While Ning Wei was standing in the classroom with his mind in a mess, Old Ning was contentedly lying on the sofa and watching the news.

His son has become successful and has a girlfriend who looks good. From now on, he can get married and have children in peace and contentment. Lao Ning actually feels quite satisfied after settling down in the provincial capital.

However, reality especially likes to surprise Lao Ning.

When he was half leaning on the sofa and turned his attention to the news broadcast on the TV, he suddenly heard news that almost made him jump up from the sofa.

"Youth are the future of the motherland. What kind of young people can represent the future of the motherland?"

"Recently, Ning Wei, a fourth-year student in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Jiangcheng University in Beihu Province, gave a touching answer."

After the host finished speaking, the TV screen switched to the interview interface. Ning Wei was talking eloquently: "My dad often told me that if I have the ability in the future, I must contribute to the rise of a great country, because since I was born in this country, There is no way to wash away the mark on us. If there is no rise of great powers, no matter where we go, we will not have the dignity of small people..."

After a brief period, the screen cuts back.

"Ning Wei published two academic papers in the world's top scientific journals during his senior year. The academic community gave Ning Wei very high praise. Next is international news..."

…

The content of less than two minutes left Lao Ning stunned.

what's the situation?

Is your son on CCTV news?

He glanced sideways at his beloved wife.

He found that Ning's mother's mouth was half open, her knitting hand had stopped moving, and she was staring at the TV screen, looking even more shocked than him.

"Old Ning, did I read correctly just now? That seems to be our son?" The woman's voice was trembling.

"Nonsense! Look at your ignorant look! Let me tell you, when our son was admitted to Jiangnan University, I knew that this day would definitely come!" Lao Ning suppressed the excitement in his heart and said disdainfully.

Then, Lao Ning suddenly slapped the sofa in annoyance: "That's so sloppy!"

Ning's mother didn't react, but she finally moved her eyes away from the TV and looked at Lao Ning.

"I asked my girl to come over during the winter vacation to give her an intuitive understanding of our family's situation. If she feels it's not appropriate, the two of us will not delay each other. This son is going to be successful. We can bite the bullet and renovate this old house first. , I’m inviting people over next year!” Lao Ning said angrily.

Hearing this, Ning's mother instantly became angry: "Old Ning, what are you thinking about all day long? Why is our son afraid that he can't find a wife? Do you want you to help him think about that every day? I tell you You, please stop caring about this mess from now on!

"Okay, okay!" Lao Ning waved his hand impatiently, then picked up his mobile phone from the coffee table.

"What do you want to do?"

"I heard that there is a replay on the Xinwen Network. I asked Xiao Liu to record the part just now and send it to me. I haven't seen enough!"

The Xiao Liu that Lao Ning mentioned was his apprentice in the factory. Although his educational level was not high, at least he could use a computer.

However, before he could make the call, the phone rang again.

"Old Ning! You've been hiding it so deeply. Your son Ning Wei was on the news network, and you didn't even mention calling us old comrades to inform us? No, you have to treat him to a meal."

"Hey, Director Luo, it's not that I didn't inform you, that little brat never mentioned this to me! Eating is a must. You can choose the place. I'll treat you all to dinner! Haha..."

"Old Ning, the ancestral grave of your family is really smoking... Oh, by the way, Xiao Qin asked me to ask, has your Ningwei got a girlfriend?"

"I was talking about something just now. The little brat had a talk at school and said he would bring it back to us during the winter vacation this year. This house has not been properly decorated in more than ten years."

"It's a small matter! Come on, Lao Ning, don't worry. I'll ask the design unit that cooperates with the factory to send someone to your home tomorrow and give you a plan. There are still a few months before the holiday. I guarantee that it will be done properly for you, and you don’t have to worry about the price. The factory will help you negotiate the price, and it will definitely be more cost-effective than what’s available on the market!”

"this……"

"Stop this and that, leave this matter to me! And later, I will ask Xiao Qin to record for you the clips of your son's appearance on the news, and show them all on the provincial TV talk show later. I’ll give it to you on a USB flash drive.”

"Thank you very much, Director Luo!"

"That's it, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Lao Ning felt extremely happy.

Luo Xingui is the director of his branch factory. He is a few years younger than Lao Ning and joined the company later. We had a really good relationship more than ten years ago. At that time, Luo Xingui was just a very modest technician, and he also respected old workers like them.

But Luo Xingui had a bachelor's degree when he entered the factory. After arriving at the unit, he obtained a master's degree while working part-time. After the factory was restructured a few years ago, he was promoted immediately. This is probably the reason why Lao Ning never relaxes in educating Ning Wei despite his low cultural level.

Now that his son has become successful, even the factory director has begun to consciously please him.

"Ronald's phone number?"

"Hey, wait, our house must be very lively during this period! In this way, after work tomorrow, you go to the supermarket to buy more candies, melon seeds, etc., and remember to bring two bags of good tea, don't worry about it." Old God Ning said calmly.

…

The factories of state-owned enterprises have such a characteristic, that is, they are large and comprehensive.

Most of people's lives are concentrated in the one-third of an acre of land surrounding the factory. There are supermarkets, vegetable markets, hospitals, etc. surrounding the family area, which are enough to meet everyone's daily needs.

So in the factory, everyone is actually familiar with each other.

Some scientists have proposed a theory of six degrees of separation.

This theory states that any two people who do not know each other only need six people to establish a connection, but there is no rigorous data to prove this theory.

But if placed in the factory area, it only takes two people at most to establish a connection between two people who don't know each other in the factory, but it will definitely withstand the test. Especially if you have a friend who is in a hospital or school within the factory area.

After all, the life trajectories of the 10,000 to 20,000 people here overlap very much.

So with Ning Wei in the news, Lao Ning and Ning's mother, who had been unknown until now, became celebrities in the factory almost overnight.

Twenty years ago, the news might not have spread so quickly. After all, it had to be spread by word of mouth.

But now a WeChat group solves everything.

"Hey, have you heard? The son of Mr. Ning from the factory was on CCTV news?"

"Which Lao Ning?"

"That old Ning from the radial tire factory!"

"Is it the one whose wife's surname is Li? I remember that I also worked as a dispatcher in the third workshop for a period of time?"

"Yes, that's him. He's going to have a big future! The provincial TV station is broadcasting his interview now!"

"Oh, his son, I remember his name is Ning Wei, right? I saw him when I was a kid, he's so clever! Let me turn on the TV and take a look."

"Who says it's not? At that time, some people said that this name was not chosen well, so I just said what's wrong with this name?!"

"That Ning Wei was the result of a fight. I heard Xiao Li say that Lao Ning was very cruel to his son at that time!"

"Oh, you guys chat first, but suddenly I feel that my son should also be spanked. I'll talk to you after the spanking!"
