Chapter 99 Saving Water

Chapter 99 About Water

In order to make it easier to take a bath every day, Jia Weidong made a large water tank on the roof. After connecting the water pipe, he made a simple shower device.

After a day of sun exposure, the water in the water tank is just right for bathing. Taking a bath in summer is very simple. You can wash it every day. There won’t be so much dirt. Just rinse it with water.

Usually no outsiders came upstairs, and Jia Weidong did not turn on the latch after entering the bathroom. He took off his shorts and tank top and stood under the faucet. Jia Weidong was washing when Qin Jingru pulled He Yuyu open the bathroom door and barged in.

"Master, save water, let's wash it together, we'll help you rub your back."

After breakfast, Jia Weidong did not go to the textile factory with Ji Yufei and Qin Jingru. Instead, he took the bus to the machine repair shop alone. He had agreed to go to the pellet feed machine today.

The machine repair shop also attaches great importance to this pellet feed machine. In two days, several parts that require steel casting, such as the fuselage, were processed at the steel plant and brought back. When Jia Weidong followed Director Huang into the repair shop, Liang Ladi was welding the drive shaft at her work station. The look of her working seriously was full of a different kind of beauty.

"Director Jia, you are here." Liang Ladi looked up and saw Jia Weidong during the welding break.

"Master Liang, you continue welding, and I will just take a look." Jia Weidong motioned to Liang Ladi to continue the welding work at hand.

"Okay, then don't stand too close. Be careful of welding slag splashing on you, and don't stare too long. It's not good for your eyes," Liang Ladi reminded Jia Weidong.

"Okay," Jia Weidong agreed, taking a few steps back.

Liang Ladi continued to immerse herself in welding. Occasionally she raised her head to wipe the sweat from her forehead with her gloves. The oil stains on her labor gloves stuck to her face, like a tabby cat.

"Director Jia, the drive shaft is welded, please take a look." Liang Ladi said to Jia Weidong after turning off the welding machine.

"Not bad, not bad, Master Liang, your welding skills are really good," Jia Weidong said after looking at the welding seams between both ends of the drive shaft and the universal joint.

"Thank you, Director Jia, for the compliment." Liang Ladi thought to herself, what could such a young boy know, and said with some disapproval.

"Well, Master Liang, your welding skills are really good. The welded part looks like fish scales with regular ripples. It looks very smooth. There are no cracks, undercuts, pores, slag inclusions, welding nodules and other defects."

"Ah, I didn't expect that, Director Jia, you are really an expert," Liang Ladi said in surprise.

"It's just so-so. I can only look at the surface and don't understand anything else."

"Director Jia, that's it for this morning. I'm going to weld your pressure wheel in the afternoon. If you're not busy, just watch it in the workshop."

"Okay, then I won't go back now, Master Liang. I'll invite you to your factory cafeteria for dinner today at noon, and let's talk about the machine."

"Okay, thank you, Director Jia, I'm welcome."

"Master Liang, let's go to the canteen now. It's too hot in the workshop."

"Director Jia, please wait a moment while I wash my hands." Liang Ladi turned around and went to wash her face and hands.

"Director Jia, let's go."

"Master Liang, you are always Mr. Jia, Mr. Jia. I feel quite awkward. How about we change our names? In private, I will call you Sister Ladi. You can just call you Jia Weidong or Weidong." "

"Ah, how do you know my name?" Liang Ladi asked doubtfully.

"Sister Ladi, I heard what Director Huang said," Jia Weidong said seriously.

"Weidong, since you call me sister, it's not okay to treat me to a meal alone today. There are still four children in my family who have no food to eat," Liang Ladi said as she hit the snake with a stick.

Liang Ladi now lives a miserable life with four children by herself. She almost has to worry about what to eat and her children are as hungry as coyotes.She had no choice but to put down her face and wander around. In order to get a bite to eat, she would even endure it and let people touch her little hands and so on. She often ran into walls.How could he be polite to Jia Weidong?

"Ah, Sister Ladi, you have four children? I thought you were not married, Sister Ladi?" Jia Weidong pretended not to know.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Does sister look so young? Sister, she is old."

"Sister, she doesn't look like a mother of four children at all." Jia Weidong and Liang Ladi walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the cafeteria.

"Weidong, I really have four children at home. I didn't lie to you," he said anxiously.

<divclass="contentadv">"Well, sister, I believe it, I believe it"

"Then you won't be reluctant to part with it, right?" Liang Ladi

"No problem, you can hit the food in the cafeteria as you like and send it back to the children."

"Thank you, brother Wei Dong."

What can be found in the big cafeteria at this time? The best staple food is white flour steamed buns, and the vegetables are vegetables, cabbage, potatoes, etc. Jia Weidong and Liang Ladi came earlier, and there were not many people queuing at the dining window in the cafeteria. , and soon it was Liang Ladi and Jia Weidong's turn.

"Master Nan, bring me eight white flour steamed buns and two two-in-one steamed buns." Liang Ladi bought two white-flour steamed buns for each of the children, and she wanted two-in-one steamed buns.

"Master Liang, why did you buy so much at once today?" Nan Yi asked doubtfully.

"It's up to you to take care of it. Director Jia invited me for today's meal. I'm not allowed to give the children more."

"Director Jia? You, oh, aren't you the comrade who lives in the same courtyard as He Yuzhu and helps He Yuzhu's family buy groceries?" Nan Yi recognized Jia Weidong.

"Yes, Master Nan, you have a really good memory," Jia Weidong said.

"Director Jia, what do you want? I'll call you."

"Master Nan, bring me two steamed buns, one stir-fried vegetables, and one shredded potatoes. Get me two bowls and chopsticks. I don't have a lunch box."

"Okay, Director Jia, please wait a moment." Nan Yi quickly brought over two bowls and helped Jia Weidong prepare rice and vegetables. After Jia Weidong paid the food stamps and money, he sat opposite Liang Ladi with a bowl in his hand.

"Weidong, thank you"

"Aren't we siblings now? Why are we so grateful?" Jia Weidong said nonchalantly.

"Sister Ladi, my brother-in-law"

"died."

"I'm sorry, Sister Ladi, I shouldn't have asked this."

"He used to be a welder in the machine repair shop. When he died, I came over from my hometown to replace him."

"Where is Sister Ladi's hometown?"

“My hometown is Changping”

"Ah, from Changping?"

"What's the matter?"

"Sister Ladi, my hometown is also in Changping."

"What a coincidence. My family is from Liangjia Village. Wei Dong, which village is your family from?"
