Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

After buying it, An Nian and the others followed Zhang Yue to two more houses.

An Nian didn't buy them all this time. The yield rate of the stones from the latter two houses was too low, so she only bought a few pieces.

The stone is small in size but substantial in weight.

Zhang Yue saw Yu Luyuan carrying a stone weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "Battle Commander Yu, you are so strong..."

He had just seen how easily Yu Luyuan was carrying the stones, and thought that the sack of stones was not heavy, so he volunteered to help him share the load. As soon as he started to carry it, his face turned red.

"It's not bad." Yu Luyuan said with a smile, "We do long-distance running with weights every day, and this little weight is nothing."

"How will you take it back later?"

"The shuttle bus can go back to the station."

Yu Luyuan answered lightly.

In fact, the shuttle bus stop is still several kilometers away from the station, and he will need to carry it back by himself.

"That's okay. When is the last bus? If you don't have time, I will take you to see the calcite."

An Nian was a little interested: "Uncle Zhang, the solution stone you are talking about is the solution to the Big Mac we saw just now?"

"That's right. They should have started over there. We can rush over now just in time to see the results."

Zhang Yue looked at the time and made an estimate.

"Unless the movement of the jade meat can be seen on the surface of such a large stone, it must be cut in half directly. You need to use a large cutting machine to cut up, down, left and right."

At first, An Nian couldn't understand what he meant by cutting the top, bottom, left and right. She didn't understand until he arrived at the shed and saw the big stone being rolled by two forklifts.

The cutting machine gear moves sideways to the left and right, and the deepest cutting depth is its diameter. Any deeper will not work.

Therefore, the stone will change sides with the cooperation of the forklift, and the cutting machine will cut in again.

Every turning and cutting process took a long time. An Nian and the others left a sack of rough stones with the guard and came back at the right time.

"Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yue has a lot of seniority in the jade factory and is now a junior leader. People around him greeted him respectfully when they saw him bringing someone over.

Zhang Yue nodded slightly, led An Nian and the others to the innermost area, and made an explanation.

"Dr. An, stand here and watch. Don't get too close. It's not safe."

"Ok."

The three of them stood where he said obediently.

After settling them, Zhang Yue stepped forward to talk to the others.

Zhang Tong was a little excited and grabbed An Nian's arm: "Nian Nian, have you seen Jie Shi before? This is my first time."

"I've seen it before, but never one this big."

"How big do you think the jade meat inside it should be?"

An Nian shook his head gently: "I don't know either. As the saying goes, it's hard for an immortal to break an inch of jade."

Yu Luyuan looked at her, a smile flashed in his eyes. He knew An Nian's ability.

An Nian met his eyes and laughed too.

When Yu Luyuan saw her expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a low voice: "Is it inside?"

"Yes. But not where it was cut."

Yu Luyuan sighed: "They will be disappointed."

The conversation between the two people could only be heard by each other. Zhang Tong, who was closest to them, saw their eyebrows interacting with each other and the atmosphere was ambiguous. His face turned red with embarrassment and he quickly looked away.

"Ah, it's about to open!"

As soon as Zhang Tong finished speaking, the huge stone made a "click" sound and split into two halves.

Dust suddenly rose, and everyone covered their mouths and noses.

The forklifts on both sides stepped forward in time, preventing the stone from hitting the ground directly, but there was also a violent collision sound, and the forklift backed up for a long distance before it stabilized.

After the stone lay flat on the ground with the help of the forklift, the people from the jade factory rushed over in a swarm.

An Nian also stepped forward.

"Oh, it's empty."

"There is nothing in such a big rough stone."

"How could this happen... The python pattern on the outside is clearly very clear. We cut it along the middle pattern. It should have jade flesh no matter what!"

"Yes, even if there is no completed film, there should still be a line."

An Nian stood on tiptoe and saw a vast expanse of white.

There is no green at all on the smooth cut surface of the stone, and the flesh is rough. It looks thicker than ordinary stones, which is not what a raw stone should look like at all.

"Want to go up?" Yu Luyuan asked in her ear.

"Okay, I'll just take a look."

An Nian was very curious. She had already seen it with her "spiritual power" just now, and now she wanted to verify it with her own eyes.

Anyway, everyone's attention was on the stone. Several people had jumped directly onto the stone just now and were looking carefully at the cut surface with flashlights.

As soon as An Nian finished speaking, the next second, her waist was supported by Yu Luyuan's big palm.

His arms were extremely strong, and he lifted her up with a slight exertion.

An Nian stepped on the cut surface of the original stone, followed the example of others, and lowered his head to look.

Seeing that she looked unfamiliar, the people on the side glanced at her curiously and went back to their work. They also stepped aside a little to leave more space for An Nian.

Zhang Tong's eyes were full of envy when she saw An Nian being lifted up, but she was too embarrassed to bother Yu Luyuan, so she could only stand on tiptoes to see.

Yu Luyuan stood on the edge of the stone, keeping his eyes on An Nian to prevent her from accidentally falling.

After more than ten minutes, a group of people finally finished reading all the sections.

Zhang Yue wiped the hot sweat from his head and sighed.

"Keep cutting it down. There is no need to look for the texture. Just cut it in half again. After cutting it into eight equal parts, if you still can't find the jade meat, throw the stone into the waste rock dump."

When he said this, An Nian was being hugged by Yu Luyuan. She couldn't help but grab the hand on Yu Luyuan's shoulder.

"what happened?"

An Nian leaned close to his ear: "Yuanyuan, let's go to the waste rock area and stay there later..."

Yu Luyuan suppressed a smile: "Even if it is divided into eight equal parts, we two can't carry it."

"Ah..." An Nian was stunned.

Yes, such a big stone, even if it is divided into eight equal parts, one-eighth of it weighs several tons!How can the couple carry it away? !

"Do you still have room in your space?"

An Nian's space is only one hundred cubic meters, which is 10 times 3.3 times 3.3.

Now there are a lot of shelves inside, and it would be a bit difficult to put in another eighth of the stone.

This giant stone weighs 30 tons, and its length, width, and height are approximately 4 meters, 3 meters, and 2.5 meters by visual inspection.

"I'll move the shelves inside later..."

The whole stone will be a little difficult to get in, but an eighth should be fine.

but……

An Nian bit her lower lip, with a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes: "Yuanyuan, according to the cutting method that Uncle Zhang just indicated, there are two stones and jade inside."

She didn't want to give up any part of it.

Yu Luyuan pondered for a few seconds: "Bite off more than we can chew, let's choose the best piece."

An Nian made up his mind: "Okay."

She couldn't tell everyone how she judged which part of the rough stone contained jade...

Moreover, she now has selfish motives and really wants this jade.

If he could buy and sell freely at this time, An Nian would be willing to pay, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

"It's okay, we'll repay them later."

"Ok!"

An Nian nodded heavily.

Yu Luyuan laughed and reached out to touch her hair.

My Nian Nian is so kind.

"The jade they mine is exchanged for foreign exchange. You have already earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country, and your contribution is enough to offset it."

The two prescriptions An Nian contributed are now continuously earning foreign exchange for the country.

Anxin Kangsuang Pills and Xiaohuichun Dan are internationally scarce resources and have always been sold at a premium. The profits are much higher than simply selling resources.

An Nian felt that he was comforted, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"I will repay the jade factory."

Yu Luyuan smiled: "Let's go together."

While the two of them were talking, they were already a quarter of the way through the stone removal process, but still no jade flesh was seen.

The atmosphere in the entire greenhouse became increasingly depressing.

"It seems like it's really hanging this time."

Zhang Yue let out a long sigh.

"What's up?"

Just when the atmosphere in the greenhouse was depressing, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind, and everyone turned their heads to look over.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. There were people behind him and behind him. At first glance, there should be more than ten people.

As soon as he saw the visitor, Zhang Yue jumped off the stone.

"Factory Manager!"

Director Tian nodded slightly with a serious expression: "What did you mean by hanging just now?"

Zhang Yue quickly took the towel handed to him and wiped the dust on his head and face, then trotted to Director Tian.

"Director, we have opened 150 tons of new rough stones this time, and the largest one is the one in front of us, which is a full 30 tons.

I originally thought there should be jade meat inside, but now I have cut it several times and still can't see any. "

He had an awkward expression on his face, glanced at the group of unfamiliar faces behind Director Tian, ​​and deliberately lowered his voice to answer.

Director Tian frowned tightly, glanced behind him, and lowered his voice.

"what about others?"

Zhang Yue smiled bitterly: "If this giant piece can't produce jade meat, other stones will also be hanging. We chose it as the first stone to cut, not just because it is the largest, but also because it has the best performance. good.

It has many python patterns on the outside and is surrounded by moss in many places.

According to the experience of master craftsmen, it is very likely that jade will be found in such rough stones, and as long as jade is found, it will most likely be of the best quality.

However, who would have thought... It was cut into four pieces, and there was absolutely nothing left in it. "

Director Tian's eyes widened slightly, and his breathing was erratic for a few seconds.

"you sure?"

"determine."

Director Tian lowered his hands behind his back: "Have we reached the end of our jade mine?"

He didn't directly use the word "exhaustion", but he had a tiny bit of hope in his heart.

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth and nodded his head in a very small arc.

The light in Director Tian's eyes seemed to dim a bit.

In fact, the old people in their factory all feel this.

In the early days, the veins were drilled down and a few rocks were picked out. There was no need for a cutting machine, just a grinder. By grinding the skin of the stone a little, you can see the emerald green color inside.

But as time goes by, the quality of the rough stones they mine has become worse and worse in recent years.

Until this year, the probability of a rough stone turning out to be jade has been so low that they can no longer bear it.

Director Tian tightened his fingers: "Don't reveal the news yet."

Zhang Yue did not move, his eyes expressed his determination.

Director Tian didn't whisper to him anymore, turned to look at the person behind him, and laughed.

"Come on, let me introduce to you. This is the most experienced master in our factory. His name is Zhang Yue. You can just call him Master Zhang."

"Hello, Master Zhang."

The person who spoke was the young man in the lead. When he smiled, he was particularly friendly, but when he spoke, he had a bit of a Guangpu feeling.

While everyone was wondering, Director Tian introduced.

"This is the successor of the Chen family in Hong Kong City. Their family is in the jewelry business. They came here to buy our rough stones."

Port city? !

Everyone who heard it widened their eyes. This was the first time they saw people from Hong Kong City.

Zhang Tong was a little excited and lowered his voice to talk to An Nian.

"Nian Nian, they are actually from Hong Kong City. Look... they are so fashionably dressed."

"Yeah." An Nian nodded, "People in Hong Kong City are quite rich."

"No, they are all wearing leather shoes. I have seen this kind of leather shoes in the mall before, and a pair costs at least 80 or [-] yuan."

Seventy or eighty!That was her salary for more than a month, and it was after the salary increase.

Anyway, for Zhang Tong, it is absolutely impossible for her to spend one month's salary to buy a pair of shoes.

However, this does not prevent her from envying him.

An Nian smiled: "Their salary is more than 1000 a month."

She had met many servants from Hong Kong City at Xiao Jinnian's house before, and she also discussed the issue of treatment when chatting with them.

"One thousand!" Zhang Tong took a breath, "So much! All my current savings don't have this amount..."

While the two were whispering to each other, Director Tian had already led people to the original stone.

An Nian also saw an acquaintance.

At first he seemed to have deliberately stayed behind to smoke, and then he walked in.

When he walked in, he met An Nian's eyes directly.

Three senior brothers...

The visitor was suddenly Master Yan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Master Yan was also very happy to see An Nian and raised his hand towards her.

He was also quite willful, and passed directly over everyone and came to An Nian's side.

"Little junior sister, why are you here?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on An Nian.

Especially the group of people from Hong Kong City, their eyes were more direct.

The young man who had just been introduced by Director Tian as the successor of the Chen family came over directly.

"Master Yan, this is..."

Master Yan looked at him: "This is my junior sister, An Nian."

"Ah! So she is the junior sister you mentioned before! She is indeed a talented person."

Yipiaotalent is usually used to describe men, but it is also very suitable at this time, and it gives a sense of respect inexplicably.

"Hello, Miss An. My name is Chen Jinrong. You can just call me Ah Rong."

An Nian smiled and shook his extended hand.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

The other party was just being polite, she couldn't really call him that.
