Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 897 New Year's Day 1985

"It would be great if I had abilities like yours, but every time I compare myself with you, I always feel that I am too stupid..." Cheng Qingyan said with some emotion.

"Actually, computer stuff is hard to say, but easy to say. If you just want to get started, it's relatively easy." While speaking, Duan Yun came to the computer, plugged it in, and pressed the start button. button.

Seeing this, Cheng Qingyan also put away the books on the desk, and walked behind Duan Yun.

"This is the start button of the computer. After the power is turned on, the computer will display a cursor about 5 seconds later, enter the DOS system, and then you enter this command..." Duan Yun began to explain the basic methods of using the computer to his wife.

As if opening a door of exploration, Cheng Qingyan's eyes lit up when she saw the CAD software interface appearing on the computer screen soon.

"This is CAD software, which is specially used to process graphic design products. It is much more efficient than our previous drawing, and after inputting parameters, you can see the actual effect of the product soon..." Duan Yun explained.

"Is the equipment in our factory designed with this kind of software?" Cheng Qingyan said in surprise when she heard this.

"At first, I drew and designed by hand. It was only in the last year that I really used a computer. With a computer and this kind of software, you can directly design mechanical and electronic products without drawing. In addition, this kind of software also has There are many other uses and functions, which depend on you to dig and discover by yourself.” Duan Yun paused, and then said: “In addition to CAD design software, I also have other application software here, including file and form processing, such as It is very convenient for our factory to calculate wages and keep accounts. With a few keystrokes, we can quickly calculate the wages of the whole factory, which is much faster than manual calculations. After connecting to a printer, you can directly print out reports and payroll. , very convenient..."

"So this computer has so many uses?" Cheng Qingyan said in surprise.

"This is something I bought for more than 2 yuan. There is a reason why it is expensive. If he doesn't have so many benefits, how can I spend such a big price?" Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "In the future, I will You may need to do business often outside, so this computer at home is yours to use. In addition, I will buy you some office equipment such as imported copiers when I have time, so that it will be very convenient for you to design products or manage finances in the future. , it’s not as laborious to draw drawings one by one.”

Duan Yun has always designed products by herself, but in fact Cheng Qingyan also has a strong technical background. Although she cannot design avant-garde products beyond this era like Duan Yun, it is still necessary to design general electrical and mechanical products. No problem.

Moving a chair, Cheng Qingyan sat beside Duan Yun and listened carefully to Duan Yun's teaching.

"If you want to learn to operate a computer, you must first be proficient in operating the keyboard. I bought a lot of Chinese-language software from BJ before, but these software are not very mature. Fortunately, your English is good. Some foreign software does not need to be Chinese-language, you can also use it... Duan Yun took out all kinds of software products he had bought over the past year from the drawer. There were more than 50 floppy disks in total, all of which were the most popular software in the world.

A lot of software these days is in its infancy stage, far less powerful than the mature software of later generations, but it is enough for Duan Yun. After all, electronic and mechanical products these days are much simpler than those of later generations, and it is also easy to learn Some.

Last night, the couple turned into night owls, studying at the computer until very late, and then went back to the room to sleep.

In the next few days, the two of them went to the electronics factory during the day, and returned home after nothing else. Duan Yun continued to teach his wife how to use the computer.

Cheng Qingyan made rapid progress. In just a few days, she was able to use the keyboard, mouse and financial statement software proficiently, and also mastered the basics of CAD. Watching herself design graphics on the computer quickly It was printed out as a blueprint, which gave Cheng Qingyan a great sense of accomplishment.

Like an urchin who found his favorite toy, Cheng Qingyan became more and more obsessed with the computer, staring at the computer almost all day long, sometimes even neglecting to eat.

In fact, now Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan live a very leisurely and prosperous life. Since they got married, Cheng Qingyan seldom cooks in the kitchen. Duan Yun's mother Gao Xiuzhi usually buys vegetables and cooks, and sometimes lives in Duan Yun at night. On the first floor of the house, there is a bedroom specially prepared for her.

Her mother, Gao Xiuzhi, is a restless person. Ever since she left the sewing club, she has been taking care of her son and daughter full-time. As her daughter Duan Fang went to college, her son got married and started a family. Gao Xiuzhi couldn't stay at home by herself, so now Now I simply moved to live with my son, responsible for three meals a day for my son and daughter-in-law.

Duan Yun doesn't want his mother to be his nanny, but the reality is that his mother's life alone is really boring, and living with her son, at least the family of three can eat and chat, which is also a kind of fun for the elderly .

It is estimated that if Duan Yun is away on a business trip in the future, his mother will live with Cheng Qingyan, and they can take care of each other. For Duan Yun, he will feel at ease. The situation at home is like this, so even if his mother lives here for a long time, Duan Yun and his wife There will be no comments.

Before Duan Yun was always worried that there would be some problems in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after marriage, but later he realized that this was completely unnecessary worry. Cheng Qingyan's personality and tutoring are very good, and her emotional intelligence is also high. Gao Xiuzhi herself is very satisfied with this Daughter-in-law, so the two get along very well. Duan Yun has not had any conflicts or unhappiness between mother and wife until now.

The weather in Daxing was getting colder every day, and it was New Year's Day in 1985 in a blink of an eye.

On New Year’s Day, the entire factory area was decorated with lights and festoons. The electronics factory where Duan Yun worked also hung up a red banner with the words “Happy New Year’s Day” early in the morning. More than 10 red flags were placed neatly on the roof of the communication room in the factory area.

During the new year's day, the gear factory is already on holiday, while the workers in Duan Yun's electronics factory are going to work as usual.

In fact, Duan Yun also gave these workers a holiday, but no one was willing to pay three times the salary during the New Year's Day, so in the end, no one was willing to take the holiday, and all came to work in the city on time.

Duan Yun's family bought rice, noodles, vegetables and pork early. Duan Yun even drove his father-in-law and mother-in-law over. The family reunited and made dumplings.

It was cold and windy outside the window, but the house was full of warmth. Duan Yun's family sat around the table in the living room, making dumplings, talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very warm and joyful...
