Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

On the fourth day of the New Year, Zhao Shanhe had a good rest. The past few days during the New Year were more tiring than working.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the steel mill started work

As soon as I rode my bike to the entrance of the steel rolling mill, I saw my father-in-law and his group. I don’t know how early they arrived.

Liu Guangtian was also waiting not far away because he had promised to find a master for him. Liu Haizhong was still halfway on the way. He was seen when he came here on his bicycle just now.

I took the five of them to the Labor and Personnel Department first, registered their information, and then went to find the logistics director. I had agreed with the logistics director earlier to make arrangements for my sister-in-law first.

The logistics director is Lao Li's close subordinate. Lao Li used to be in charge of logistics. Zhao Shanhe has only one small request, that he should not be assigned to Sha Zhu's kitchen. If Sha Zhu knew that this is Zhao Shanhe's relative, he would definitely be embarrassed.

There must be more than one canteen for Sha Zhu with tens of thousands of people in the steel rolling mill. The logistics director found a canteen director and handed my sister-in-law over to him, and told him to take good care of her, as she was Mr. Zhao's relative.

Zhao Shanhe suddenly had an idea, thinking that it was better not to bother two people with the same thing, so he asked the logistics director if the factory's construction team needed carpenters, saying that his father-in-law was a carpenter. Zhao Shanhe felt that his father-in-law was much better off in the construction team than in the workshop, and it was awkward for the father and son to be apprentices in the same workshop.

Leaders are all shrewd people. The logistics director said, "The construction team just happened to be short of a carpenter, so Engineer Zhao was sent here. Thank you, Engineer Zhao, for helping the factory solve its problems." This was a great honor for Zhao Shanhe, and his father-in-law made the arrangement smoothly.

These three people are a bit difficult to deal with. Zhao Shanhe is only acquaintance with the workshop director and doesn't know if he is willing to help. The technical department deals with the workshop, but he is an outsider in the technical department.

I decided to look for Lao Li. Chief Engineer Lin is just like me, a technology geek and doesn’t know many people.

When I arrived at Li Huaide's office, I told him my purpose. Li Huaide knew that I was a relative of Zhao Shanhe and said that it was nothing. He generously promoted Zhao Shanhe to a regular employee in advance. (Li Huaide was still counting on Zhao Shanhe to get a promotion and a raise. Didn't you see that this guy was able to make a machine in three months? Moreover, he was already level 7 at such a young age. He was much more valuable than Lin Gong.)

The adult world is all about interests. Without interests, who would help you? It’s considered good enough if they just ignore you.

Li Huaide's secretary took him there personally, and Zhao Shanhe followed. He also wanted to arrange Liu Guangtian to Lao Cao.

When several people learned that they had been converted to regular employees ahead of schedule, they were extremely happy, because it meant five more yuan per month, saved three years, and made them eligible to take the exam directly.

Several people went to look at the types of work. The brother-in-law asked Zhao Shanhe for some advice. Zhao Shanhe suggested learning to be an electrician or a welder. He didn't say the reason, but Zhao Shanhe knew that fitters, lathe operators, and forgers would be replaced by machines in the future.

The elder brother-in-law chose a welder, the younger brother-in-law chose an electrician, and Liu Guangtian said he would follow Zhao Shanhe's arrangements. After the secretary greeted the workshop director, Liu Guangtian and the elder brother-in-law paid their respects to Lao Cao, and the younger brother-in-law also arranged an experienced electrician for him.

Zhao Shanhe also told a few people privately that after the work was done, he should treat the master to a meal, give him some good cigarettes and good wine, and spend a little money to gain more.

After asking about Yan Jiecheng, I found out that Yan Jiecheng had become a fitter and became a disciple of Yi Zhonghai.

After finishing the work, he went to the Propaganda Department to find Qin Jingru. The purpose of finding Qin Jingru was to help Zhao Shanhe clean the office. Wasn't it because she was diligent and obedient that he married Qin Jingru?

In recent years, Zhao Shanhe has become more and more lazy because of Aunt Chen's pampering. After marrying Qin Jingru, he became even lazier. Zhao Shanhe said that he was a fool in his previous life and insisted on being a dog to bootlick Feiyangyang. It would be great to be Meiyangyang.

At noon, Liu Haizhong learned from a co-worker that he had seen Liu Guangtian. After asking around, he found Liu Guangtian in the welding workshop. Liu Haizhong didn't expect how Liu Guangtian got into the steel rolling mill without paying for the quota himself.

刘光天其实拿到名额谁都没有告诉，就连一起挨揍的兄弟刘光福也没说，害怕自己兄弟扛不住毒打，把自己的事暴露出来，因为哥俩为了自己少挨打，互相出卖过对方，完事两人又在一起舔舐伤口。

Of course, Liu Haizhong said that the quota was not important, what was important was that his son had to learn forging from him. Liu Haizhong said that he had a father who was a seventh-level worker, and it was not right for Liu Guangtian to learn welding from others. He would be laughed at by others. How could he be a leader?

Liu Haizhong immediately found the workshop director of the welding workshop. Liu Guangtian was his son. He asked the workshop director to give himself a face as a seventh-level blacksmith and let Liu Guangtian follow him to learn blacksmithing.

If it were anyone else, they would have given him face, but the problem was that Liu Guangtian was brought here personally by the factory director's secretary, and the secretary represented the factory director's opinion, so they could only call Liu Guangtian out and ask him, and if Liu Guangtian was willing, they would release him.

Liu Guangtian must be unhappy. He came to the welding workshop just to avoid Liu Haizhong. After knowing Liu Guangtian's intention, the workshop director directly rejected Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong didn't dare to resent the workshop director, as he still had to be a leader. He blamed everything on Liu Guangtian, saying, "You little bastard, I'll deal with you when I get home." Liu Haizhong went back in a depressed mood.

Liu Guangtian knew that Liu Haizhong would definitely beat him up when he got home. He knew that Liu Haizhong had lost face this time and would probably beat him half to death. So Liu Guangtian went to the workshop director to ask for leave so that he could move to another dormitory.

The workshop director said that there was no need to take leave today. He would arrange accommodation for those who had nowhere to live so that they could get familiar with the workshop. They would officially start work tomorrow.

Liu Guangtian quickly went to the logistics department to apply for a dormitory. The dormitory was for eight people and was occupied by people who lived far away or had no house, like He Yushui. He lived in the dormitory because the spinning mill was far away and went home once a week. Liu Guangtian was successfully assigned to the dormitory and quickly went home.

Liu Guangtian packed his luggage as soon as he got home. When Second Aunt asked him about it, he didn't say anything. Second Aunt listened to Liu Haizhong in everything. She didn't stop Liu Haizhong from beating the child, and even handed him a stick.

Only Liu Guangfu clung to his brother and begged Liu Guangtian to take him with him. Liu Guangfu also wanted to escape from this home. Liu Guangtian said that there was no way now and asked Liu Guangfu to endure hardships and wait for him to take him away when he was capable enough.

Liu Guangtian successfully escaped from this home temporarily. While Liu Haizhong was not back yet, he quickly moved his luggage to the dormitory. He still had a few dollars of private money, which should be enough for this month. The steel rolling mill never delayed wages, so next month would be better. When he was able to do so, he would move out of the dormitory and rent a house. Of course, he did not want to take in Liu Guangfu, but mainly wanted to get married. He was a few months older than Zhao Shanhe.
