Siheyuan: Days of bird abuse in Siheyuan

"Let me become the disciple of Master Zheng Baoguo?"

"Yes, this was recommended to me by Yi Zhonghai from your institute. Although Master Zheng Baoguo has been responsible for teaching apprentices and inspecting processed parts in recent years due to a hand injury, he still has the foundation of an eighth-level fitter. Do you have any opinions?

Hou Weimin looked strange.

Yi Zhonghai’s recommendation?

Did he think that Zheng Baoguo was not good at training apprentices because he saw that Zheng Baoguo had not performed any advanced benchwork practices for several years?

However, Hou Weimin is a systematic person. Becoming a disciple is just a cover-up for his rapid improvement in the level of his fitter skills. As for which master to become, Hou Weimin doesn't care.

Zheng Baoguo was once a well-known eighth-level fitter in the steel mill.

With such a person to guide you, it would be a reasonable reason for you to make rapid progress in the future.

Thinking of this, Hou Weimin immediately said:

"I have no objection and will obey the leadership's arrangements."

"Well, you go back first. I'll ask Zhang Jinlin to find you later."

Zhang Jinlin is the team leader of Hou Weimin's work team.

"Yes"

……

Half an hour later.

"Master Zheng, this is Wei Min. The director asked him to become your disciple. From now on, he will be your apprentice."

Zhang Jinlin led Hou Weimin and spoke to Zheng Baoguo, who was sitting at his workstation and measuring the parts in his hand with a vernier caliper.

Ok?

At this time, Zheng Baoguo, whose face was full of depression and anger, raised his head and looked at Hou Weimin. When he heard Zhang Jinlin's words, his eyes were slightly surprised.

He knew that Hou Weimin was a first-class worker, and that he had been training apprentices in the previous few years.

But after a little hesitation, he said:

"it is good."

"Hello, master."

Hou Weimin said respectfully.

An apprentice is like half a son. In this era, the master-apprentice relationship is very strong. The proper etiquette must be observed and gifts must be given during festivals.

Even in some places in later generations, although it is not allowed in name for masters to beat and scold their apprentices, everyone knows it in private and does not feel surprised.

"Okay, you process this part and I'll see how good you are."

After Zhang Jinlin left, Zheng Baoguo found Hou Weimin pleasing to his eyes and after hesitating for a moment he said.

Hou Weimin felt that it was his appearance that played a role.

Immediately, Hou Weimin took the drawings given by Zhang Jinlin and started processing.

Fitter practical skills +0.01

Fitter practical skills +0.01

……

While processing, voices continued to come from Hou Weimin's head.

The fitter level on his panel is still level two.

To improve the fitter's level to level three, both the fitter's theoretical level and practical level need to be improved. Hou Weimin feels that his current fitter's practical level should have reached level three, but his theoretical level has not yet reached that level.

Ok?

Watching Hou Weimin's skillful operation, Zhang Jinlin's eyes changed from indifference at the beginning to surprise.

Hou Weimin also knew that the second workshop was a well-known sickly person, and the parts processing qualification rate was always the lowest in the team. If it weren't for the fact that his parents had both passed away and his poor family situation, coupled with his weak health, he would have been transferred to the handling workshop long ago.

but now……

This operation level is considered excellent among the second level, right?

Could it be?

Because Hou Weimin processes a lot of parts like this?

After Hou Weimin finished the processing, he handed the parts to Zhang Jinlin for inspection, but Zhang Jinlin didn't even look at them and put them aside.

What is an eighth-level worker?

A national treasure in the factory!

Many parts that others cannot process have to be operated by eighth-level workers. Although they are not cadres, their treatment and status are not inferior to those of ordinary people.

Although I have clumsy hands, I still have good eyesight. My eyes are like a ruler. I don't need a vernier caliper at all. Zhang Jinlin can see that the parts processed by Hou Weimin are qualified.

Afterwards, Zhang Jinlin changed another drawing and gave it to Hou Weimin for processing.

After determining the parameters according to the drawings, Hou Weimin started processing immediately.

Ok?

This kid is really good at what he does. Isn't he weak? Doesn't he get dizzy after studying for too long? Doesn't he need to take a break after every processing of a part?

How come now, the level has clearly reached level two!

Zhang Jinlin on the side was also secretly surprised.

"Master, how's it going?"

After the processing was completed, Hou Weimin handed the parts to Zheng Baoguo for inspection.

"Well, it's good. Although there are still many flaws, it is qualified according to the standards of the steel mill. You can apply for the second-level assessment now."

Zheng Baoguo nodded.

"However, I heard that you were weak before and had to rest after processing each part before processing the next one. How come your level is so high now?"

Zheng Baoguo asked the doubts in his mind.

"As Heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself. I was indeed weak before, but I still insisted on exercising every day. After processing parts, I would review and summarize the operations during the breath-taking rest time. Hard work pays off, so my health has returned to normal and my benchwork skills have improved."

"Heaven moves with vigor; the gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself."

Zheng Baoguo silently repeated what Hou Weimin had just said, and his eyes, which had been full of gloom and dejection, suddenly showed some vitality.

"The parts you processed still have some flaws, and your operation technique is also problematic..."

Then, Zheng Baoguo began to explain to Hou Weimin the minor problems he encountered when milling parts and explained his own milling and cutting techniques.

These valuable experiences and knowledge cannot be learned from books. Hou Weimin listened attentively and absorbed knowledge like a sponge.

Hou Weimin had seen his master instructing the apprentices before, but he had never shared his experience so eloquently as he did now.

Is it because of my handsome face?

Hou Weimin thought as he listened carefully.
